Twenty-three years after six teens went missing, a private investigator is hoping to solve the mystery Sunday, May 6, 2018 • 10 am to 5 pm Monday, May 7, 2018 • 10 am to 5 pm Ajax Convention Centre, 550 Beck Cres., Ajax dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , A p r i l 1 9 , 2 0 1 8 | 4 The mystery of the Lost Boys is a three-part series looking into the case of six teenagers who went missing in Pickering after a party 23 years ago. Private investi- gator Bruce Ricketts has been looking into the case, and is seeking answers to lingering questions. Part 2 looks at those lingering questions. PICKERING - The fami- ly of a missing teen and a private investigator ques- tion why police took 36 hours to begin the search after Jay Boyle, Chad Smith, Robbie Rumboldt, Michael Cummins, Danny Higgins and Jamie Lefeb- vre went missing. They wonder what hap- pened to some of the evi- dence, and what more could have been done to find the boys, some of whom were no strangers to police. "The police didn't take any of the reports serious- ly," says Jay's sister Aman- da Boyle. The boys are believed to have stolen a Boston Whal- er replica and a water tricy- cle from two Pickering ma- rinas and taken them for a deadly ride on Lake Onta- rio. They reportedly left a party at 12:40 a.m. on March 17, 1995, planning to 'goof around' at a local ma- rina. A surveillance cam- era caught them entering East Shore Marina at 1:48 a.m.... One or more wit- nesses heard a boat on the lake between 2 and 3 a.m. At 3:30 a.m., two teens re- ported them missing. By 2 p.m. on March 19, a search was underway. The search, which involved sev- eral police forces and the military, was called off on March 20, but police fol- lowed up on leads. Questions to Durham regional police were unan- swered, as the original in- vestigators are no longer on the force. Still, police urge anyone with informa- tion to come forward. "Officers are aware that this is a cold case and we're hoping that if anyone has any information on the dis- appearance of these boys that they contact DRPS (Durham Regional Police Service)," says Const. George Tudos. "Any small piece of evidence would benefit the investigation. If someone has something very small that they think is very insignificant, that is something that could turn the whole case around and lead us in the right direc- tion." Ottawa-based private in- vestigator Bruce Ricketts has been looking into the case at no charge for more than six years. He says he's faced con- stant roadblocks, and much of the information he's received from police through Freedom of Infor- mation (FOI) requests is heavily redacted. "They won't allow any- one in to take a second look at the evidence," he says. That only three of the boys were spotted inside the marina on camera puz- zles the Boyles. Family members watched the video in 1995 and identified the teens on tape as Jamie, Robbie and Michael, and no one else. They did not see footage of them stealing the boat. When the family asked to view the tape again, police told them they didn't have it, the family said. "How do you say some- thing's not there that the moms have seen, that all the families have seen?" says Jay’s sister Siobhan Boyle. Neither vessel has been found. According to an FOI document, an employee from East Shore Marina said the Boston Whaler replica, deemed to be un- sinkable by many, was built well but in rough shape. It would sink, but over a period of time. Ricketts wonders how nobody spotted the boat if it didn't sink immediately. He found in his investigation there were some possible sightings, and a company that specializes in under- water searches using a technology called sidescan sonar was asked by police to search after a possible boat sighting was reported. But he says before the company even had a chance to start the search the contract between po- lice and the sonar company was cancelled. A gas can was found in Wilson, NY, and believed to have belonged to the stolen boat. He wonders how the gas can landed there, consider- ing a witness stated that based on the currents and wind that day, the boat would have ended up in Rochester, NY, which is 120 kilometres east. FOI documents show possible sightings of the boys. Some put the boys in Kew Beach in Toronto, near the home of Jamie, days after the disappear- ance. But then one witness said she spotted Jamie in a Burger King near Clar- ence, NY on March 19. An- other person said she saw Chad at his home on March 17. "I don't read too much into them," says Siobhan, who's heard many stories. The Boyle family says Jay wouldn't leave his fam- ily and daughter, but Siob- han isn't convinced the boys simply went for a joy ride and drowned. "I think there was some- thing more to that night," she says. Amanda knows they had taken boats in the past. "It's not out of the ordi- nary that that would hap- pen," she says. "To me, I honestly believe that they did drown." But something still doesn't sit right with her. "As much as I know he's gone I just don't under- stand how they never found anything," she says. Ricketts questions if drugs had anything to do with the boys' disappear- ance. "That area was a hot spot at one point in time," he says. "There was an aw- ful lot of smuggling going on from Durham to that ar- ea of New York and back." This is one of the many questions he has put for- ward to police. "I think it will take re- opening up the entire case, a re-evaluation of all of the evidence that existed," Ricketts says. "There's too much hidden here, there's too much not being said." He says the OPP or the RCMP should investigate. The Boyle family and Ricketts have been piecing information together from a separate case, but one they believe may be con- nected to Jay. In 1998, two sets of re- mains, one in a pair of red pants, were found in the Ni- agara River. Jay was wear- ing red Levi's jeans when he disappeared. Part 3 will focus on the pants and the hurdles Rick- etts is facing to find an- swers, and what he'll do next. Anyone with informa- tion on the case can contact police at 905-579-1520, ext. 2521.

DURHAM - Fourteen new charges have been laid against a Durham Region teacher already facing multiple allegations of sex- ually assaulting students. Thomas Grieve is now accused of 15 counts of criminal sexual conduct with children under the age of 16, according to in- formation released Tues- day, April 17 by Durham po- lice. Grieve, an elementary teacher at Robert Munsch Public School in Whitby, was arrested in mid-March on eight counts each of sex- ual assault and sexual in- terference. After more alle- gations surfaced Grieve was charged with an addi- tional seven counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference, police said. Sexual interfer- ence is described in the Criminal Code as touching or inviting touching from some- one under 16 for a sex- ual purpose. "It is alleged the teacher was involved in inappropriate rela- tions with some of his students during school hours," police said in a media re- lease. Grieve also coached the female under-18 team for the Durham Rebels Vol- leyball Club. He previ- ously taught at E.A. Fairman Public School in Whitby and various schools as a supply teacher. He has also taught night school and summer school at numerous secondary schools. Grieve, of Scugog Town- ship, now faces a total of 30 charges. He is currently on leave, according to the Dur- ham District School Board. He's also been removed as a coach for the volleyball club. In a March 19 press re- lease the public school board said it has co-operat- ed with the Durham Chil- dren's Aid Society and po- lice in the investigation. The board sent a letter home to parents and guard- ians to provide an update. "It is because there contin- ues to be an active police in- vestigation that we cannot share additional informa- tion at this time," the letter stated. An investigation contin- ues. Anyone with informa- tion is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, ext. 5323 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477.

The Saskatchewan junior hock- ey team's bus crashed April 6 with a transport truck killing 16 team members. Prior to the horrific crash there probably weren't many people who had ever heard of the Humboldt Bron- cos. But the heartbreak and pain felt in Saskatchewan resonated across Canada, indeed it resonated around the world, bringing our Canadian family together to mourn for the victims. Last Friday the first of 16 funerals was held for the team's radio announcer, Tyler Bieber. This week there were more funerals for players and coaches alike. Flags will remain at half-mast for some time as we continue to grieve for the Broncos. It's at times like this when tragedies unite Canadians. Immediately after the crash a GoFundMe page garnered more than $10 million for the families whose loved ones died. NHL teams donated to the fund with proceeds from their 50-50 tickets, local fundraisers were held and of course, many Durham Region residents personally do- nated. On April 12 Canadians from coast to coast sported their favourite jerseys on #jerseyday to show their sup- port for the Broncos. It's not often you see so many sports jerseys being worn during work hours, but offices across the country allowed their employees to wear them. And outside thousands and thousands of homes you might have noticed the hockey sticks left out. They were for the Bronco teammates now in heaven. Such a simple gesture, but what an impact. One trending Instagram video showed a young boy admiring one of the sticks left outside his front door. He tested the stick, pretended to shoot an imaginary puck with it. Then he set it back gently placing a kiss on the stick. Locally, Chloe, a seven-year-old girl in Courtice, asked her parents why so many people were putting their hockey sticks outside. She was told, "If the players that went to heaven wanted to come and play some hockey, they could use our sticks. Our porch light is on to help them find their way." At 10 p.m. Chloe got out of bed and asked her parents for tape. She was told it would have to wait until the morning. She snuck out of bed again and went to the family front door. Instead of tape she used a sticker to tape a note in the window to the hockey players in heav- en. It read: "Hockey players. If you fly from heaven, hockey players, you can use my stick. Love, Chloe." Our country may be vast geographically, but we're all connected, never more so when tragedy strikes. Our prayers go out to everyone impacted by the Humboldt Broncos tragedy. Humboldt tragedy hits home for Canadians Doug Ford is no miracle worker To the editor: Re: Progressive agenda resulting in crime, deterio- ration of society: reader, let- ter, March 29 This is in response to Stephen Korn's letter where he states, among other things, that " ... Doug Ford ... has down to earth common sense ... he is one of us and doesn't look down on us." I beg to differ, Mr. Korn. Don't think, for a minute, that Doug Ford is in this (PC leader) for anyone but himself. Only a few weeks ago he was planning to be- come Toronto's new may- or. Then he saw a bigger forum in which to "play" and became the new PC leader. With the Ontario election a mere two months away, he has yet to tell the electorate any- thing about how he plans to save the province bil- lions of dollars without cutting any jobs and with- out any carbon tax ... un- less he can work miracles. His only gift is to be able to lure the electorate into thinking that he can, in- deed, work miracles. Nancy Veals Bowmanville Hair exam surprise To the editor: Re: A cut above: Durham Hairstylist Academy will soon offer Red Seal exam, news, April 5 This is regarding the front-page story on April 5. The story said, as of Janu- ary 2019, hairstyling ap- prentices in Ontario will be required to complete a hands-on practical exam, as well as a written exam. This news absolutely shocked me as I had, until now, expected that to have been a given. It explains why I have had so many really bad haircuts over the years, and once again proves that actions really do speak louder than words.

SHOP THEBAY.COM FREESHIPPINGFRIDAYNOMINIMUMPURCHASEREQUIRED DURHAM - Durham high school students will soon have more op- tions for courses they can take from home - or anywhere they happen to be. The Durham District School Board is planning to increase the number of eLearning courses of- fered from 18 this year, to more than 30 next year. Durham's Catholic board is also planning an increase from 10 eLearning courses, to 13. "We're seeing an increased de- mand," says Kandis Thompson, the DDSB's administrator of eLearn- ing. eLearning courses are offered entirely online and allow students, typically in Grade 11 or 12, to earn an Ontario high school credit. Courses meet all curriculum ex- pectations and are taught by qual- ified teachers in collaboration with eLearning Ontario. This year, more than 400 DDSB students are taking an eLearning course during the regular school year, as well as close to 300 students at the Durham Catholic District School Board. Thompson says the courses are a good fit for students with timetable conflicts, as well as those from smaller high schools that may not be able to offer as much course vari- ety. Exposing students to indepen- dent online learning is also a chance to build an important skill- set. "When students leave us, they will be accessing learning in differ- ent forms," Thompson says, noting that university, college, apprentice- ships and workplaces often involve some kind of online learning. The DDSB's tentative eLearning courses for 2018-2019 include op- tions such as accounting, French, Indigenous issues, world issues, bi- ology, black studies and science. "Some students thrive in this en- vironment, some have more chal- lenges," Thompson says, noting that the DDSB encourages students to "self-evaluate" to determine if eLearning is a good fit for them. eLearning courses are also a popular summer choice for stu- dents looking to recover credits or get ahead - last summer the DCDSB had more than 1,100 students regis- ter for a summer eLearning cours- es, while the DDSB had about 270.

Ralph Walton Regional Clerk /Director of Legislative Services Never have I seen the likes of which occurred with the Humboldt bus and trailer accident - 15 men suddenly taken. They were husbands, sons, brothers, nephews, grandsons, team- mates and friends, and now they're gone. This strikes at the heart of our village - Canata - for this has touched a small town. It's as though the ep- icentre was Humboldt, but the aftershocks were felt across the nation and around the world. Why was that? Was it the sudden- ness, that it touched the hockey community (which is both a family and a reli- gion in itself for some) or the fact that it was mainly youths lost in their prime? It could be all of the above. What struck me the most was that men were lost (al- though a woman - one of the team's trainers - has since died as a result of her injuries). I've mentioned before that men have been under attack. Men bring definition, direction and protection. Where would we be if that role wasn't ful- filled? In a generation of DIY women - whether it's out of necessity or feminist pride - this may seem like blasphemy. But men and women were created to have unique and different roles. Women were created to help, which may seem menial, but is anything but. Just imagine if your wife/mother wasn't there to handle the finer details of daily life. The Humboldt loss is significant because it mainly robbed us of our men, and they are the first line of defence. Our first response to this tragedy was to give money. Started by a wom- an (there goes the helper), millions of dollars were raised in just a couple of days, to support the fami- lies affected, breaking re- cords even for GoFundMe. This is, indeed, the Canadi- an way. We are givers at heart, and this time was no different, except that it was rapid in its speed. But what if we did something that was truly unprecedented? What if a National Day of Prayer was called that swept from coast to coast? I realize that we had Jersey Day, but our anthem is ac- tually a prayer, and since we're standing on guard for Canada, it only seems right. Prayer can do what nei- ther money nor jerseys can because it invites God in, stops the bleeding and re- leases life. Healing is God's specialty, and it means to restore to normal. We can't bench Him and expect to be healed. –Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is passionate about truth in current affairs.

Police said they re- ceived a number of 911 calls just after 4:30 p.m. on April 13, reporting a three-vehi- cle head-on collision in the Westney Road South and Lake Driveway West area. A silver Toyota Camry was southbound on West- ney Road South when it collided with another southbound vehicle, a Hy- undai Sante Fe. The Camry lost control as a result, crossed the centre line and collided with a transport truck that was travelling north. A 27-year-old Ajax woman and her two-year- old son, who were travel- ling in the Camry, both sustained critical injuries and were take to a Toronto trauma centre, police said. As of Saturday morn- ing, April 14, the woman is listed in serious condition and the toddler is in criti- cal condition. The 50-year-old driver of the Hyundai and the 24- year-old driver of the transport truck were not injured and remained at the scene. The road was closed for several hours Friday evening. The cause of the collision is still being investigated. Anyone with informa- tion or who witnessed the collision is asked to call Durham regional police at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 5256 or make an anonymous tip to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at www.durham- regionalcrimestoppers.ca or 1-800-222-8477.

The grievance provides a window onto the dysfunction currently roiling the service. In late January, rank and file offi- cers passed a declaration of non-confidence in Chief Paul Martin. The Durham Regional Police Association has accused Martin of using disciplinary action to "subvert" the arbitration pro- cess, a claim the service denies. The association has put forth a motion calling on Laura Tra- chuk, the arbitrator hearing the grievance, to order the with- drawal of allegations of mis- conduct made against associa- tion president Randy Henning and vice-president Brad Durst. The motion also calls for the service to pay damages to Hen- ning, Durst, and another em- ployee placed under investiga- tion for allegedly making false claims relating to the grievance. The police service argues the motion put forth by the associa- tion falls outside the arbitra- tor's authority and should be dismissed. "What the association is seeking is simply outside your jurisdiction," David Cowling, a lawyer representing the service, said during four days of argu- ments on the motion earlier this month. The current dispute relates to a grievance filed by the asso- ciation that claims the service failed to adequately respond to complaints that Rob Wallington, the service's manager of strate- gic planning, "repeatedly ha- rassed employees and otherwise created a hostile work environ- ment over a prolonged period." The grievance also alleged misconduct by chief administra- tive officer Stan MacLellan and director of human resources Lesley Ford. Wallington, Ma- cLellan and Ford all have stand- ing at the arbitration tribunal and are represented by counsel. Allegations in the grievance have not been proven. In response to the grievance the service commissioned an independent investigation that found some allegations made against Wallington could not be substantiated. That finding led Martin to begin investigations into Hen- ning, Durst, and a civilian em- ployee who made allegations against Wallington, the associa- tion says. Henning and Durst received notice this past sum- mer they are both being in- vestigated for misconduct under the Police Services Act because "it appears you made false and/ or misleading statements" in advancing the grievance. Henning and Durst have also been named in complaints by two Durham regional police employees - Wallington is one of them - who have accused them of acting in a harassing manner while pursuing the grievance. In Wallington's case the asso- ciation, suspecting the manager had initiated a sick claim to delay the grievance, hired a private investigator to conduct surveillance on him; Wallington complained that action amount- ed to harassment. The service initiated an investigation under its respect in the workplace policy. In the notice of motion ar- gued over several days earlier this month, the association alleged actions undertaken by the service are reprisals against the union officers, and could intimidate other members who are scheduled to testify during the grievance process. The association has called on Trachuk, the arbitrator, to find the service has engaged in an abuse of process. Their motion calls on the arbitrator to order all investigations relating to allegations of misconduct by Henning and Durst to cease (the service has indicated Walling- ton's harassment complaint will be held in abeyance while the grievance proceeds). "This is an attempt to subvert your process and usurp your role into a forum the chief be- lieves is more sympathetic to his position," association lawyer Joshua Phillips alleged. "It is an attempt to hijack these issues and put them into a forum where the chief exercises sub- stantial control under the (Po- lice Services Act)." Under the Police Services Act the chief is the complainant and, ultimately, "the judge," he said. "This is not like a member of the public has made a complaint against a police officer and the chief is going to do an investiga- tion to see if the complaint is valid," Phillips said. "This is a complaint by the chief. It is not a neutral act of investigation. That constitutes a reprisal." Cowling replied that the service has an obligation to promptly investigate allegations of wrongdoing by employees. "The service is seeking to investigate these false allega- tions and how they came to be - as it is required to do," Cowling said. "If there was bad faith in- volved and there's discipline to be meted out, that needs to take place now," Cowling said. "What the employer can't do is sit on its hands. To suggest the em- ployer should be precluded from investigating is a bridge too far." Casey Dockendorff, counsel for Wallington, agreed the ac- tion sought by the association is outside the arbitrator's juris- diction. She said impeding Wal- lington's harassment complaint infringes on his rights as an employee of the Durham police. "The surveillance was offen- sive and designed to intimidate Mr. Wallington," Dockendorff said. "His only recourse was to file a complaint with his em- ployer." She suggested the union is relying on its motion to protect its executive members from discipline. "The association cannot use this proceeding as a shield for any and all of its actions," she said. "(Wallington's) rights as an employee cannot be extin- guished just because he's part of a proceeding." A few weeks after publicizing the non-confidence vote, the association released results of a membership survey that in- dicated 52 per cent of respon- dents feel Martin should be removed as soon as possible, with the majority of them say- ing his contract should not be renewed when it expires in May 2019. Durham police did not re- spond to a request for comment. The grievance, now in its fifth year, has been adjourned until early 2019. NEWS Police Chief Paul Martin has come under pressure from many members of the police service. In late January, rank and file officers passed a declaration of non-confidence in Chief Martin. The Durham Regional Police Association has also accused Martin of using disciplinary action to "subvert" the arbitration process, a claim the service denies.

Vimy Ridge Public School in A jax is one of 10 schools across Canada chosen as this year's w inners in the Superpower your School contest, which rec- o gnizes schools that go the ex- tra mile to protect the environ- ment. Students celebrated the win at special assembly on April 13. Alison Ellwood, a teacher at Vimy Ridge who helps oversee the Earthkeepers environmen- tal club, says the school's many eco initiatives are aimed at teaching kids to love the Earth. "Sometimes there can be a sense of loss or fear when it comes to environmental initia- tives . we want them to be in- spired by the nature we are a p art of," she says. "The positive habits will come from that love and appreciation." This year, the school's big- gest initiative has been a "walk- ing school bus" aimed at reduc- ing the number of cars driving through and idling in the school parking lot. Grade 7 and 8 volunteers cover five walking routes in the community each day - some days, as many as 400 students walk to school using the pro- gram, about two thirds of the school's population. T he Superpower Your School contest - presented by Staples and Earth Day Canada - saw more than 740 entries nar- rowed down to 100 finalist schools in March. Ten final winners, five ele- mentary schools and five high schools, were announced the first week of April. O ther eco-friendly initia- tives at Vimy Ridge P.S. include an Eco Citizen Award present- ed at a school assembly each month and participation in the Lake Ontario Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program - salmon are raised in classrooms and released in the local watershed each year. T he school's garden club has worked with classes to raise and release butterflies and cre- ate an outdoor classroom, veg- etable garden and pollinator garden. Vimy Ridge students also help plant potatoes at a local farm each June, then harvest them in the fall to serve at the school's breakfast club. Meghana Gorrepati, who has been an Earthkeepers member since Grade 3 - and is now in Grade 8 and one of the club's copresidents - is a big fan of the walking school bus. "When you walk around the neighbourhood you get to see more of our community and see your friends. W hen you are in the car you are just plugged into your elec- tronics." The club's other co-presi- dent, Grade 8 student Lalitya Vaddey, says Earthkeepers makes a difference while being fun. "I like Spri-ECO week and Bag2School. Spri-ECO week is week long spirit week with eco activities for the school and it is a lot of fun. Bag2School doesn't just do- n ate clothes but it also recycles them and keeps them out of the landfills," Lalitya says. The school is looking into u sing the $20,000 to create a "makerspace" in the library where students can work on multimedia projects and ex- pand their STEAM - science, technology, engineering, arts, math - skills.

Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland RELIGION PICKERING - Pickering council solidified its com- mitment to sharing reve- nue from the future casino at its April 10 meeting. Council unanimously passed the motion brought forward by Ward 1 regional Coun. Kevin Ashe and Ward 3 regional Coun. Da- vid Pickles, also the two councillors who introduced a motion in 2012 that Picker- ing be a willing host of a ca- sino. At the same time, Pickering council already committed to revenue shar- ing. "This is just the next step in fulfilling that commit- ment (we made) before we had that planning approval, before there was a shovel in the ground," said Pickles. On April 3, Ontario Gaming GTA LP an- nounced it will build a new casino in Pickering at Church and Bayly streets. Under provincial rules, that means the OLG Slots at Ajax Downs will close. At the time, Pickering announced it expects annu- al revenue as the host com- munity from the facility would be about $20 million a year. Of that, 30 per cent, or $6 million, would be giv- en to Durham Region annu- ally. Pickering is suggest- ing a portion of the funds be given to social housing "in order to secure matching funding from the senior lev- els of government." The Town of Ajax has been getting as much as $7 million annually as the host community. It's hosted the slots since 2006. Ashe noted Ajax has re- ceived $75 million over 12 years of hosting. "They should have been sharing revenue, at least since the modernization process started," he said. In 2012, Ajax council of- fered to share 15 per cent of its future revenue from the slots with the Town of Whit- by, which was contingent on Whitby declaring it is not a willing host for an OLG gaming facility. Whit- by turned down the offer. Ajax recently passed a motion proposing to share revenue with Pickering, Whitby, the region and the quarter horse racing indus- try. "Ajax's revenue sharing model reaffirms the town's willingness to share not on- ly with municipalities with- in the C3 gaming zone, but the entire Region of Dur- ham," Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said at the time. "In addition, we have commit- ted to long-term, predict- able funding to the Ontario Quarter Horse Racing In- dustry." Pickles said it was too late. –With files from Keith Gilligan NEWS Pickering commits to sharing casino revenues KRISTEN CALIS KCalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM - In a hushed regional council chamber, Pickering Coun. Kevin Ashe laid bare the pain in his fam- ily following the suicide of his stepson Alex Monaghan. "Alex impacted a lot of people, which makes this more tragic," an emotional Ashe said during the Dur- ham council meeting on April 11. Monaghan died on April 1, with a funeral service on Saturday, April 7. The family had asked that in lieu of flowers, dona- tions be made to the Ontario Association for Suicide Pre- vention in Alex's name, Ashe said. "To the police and para- medics, we say thank you for being very caring," he said. "Suicide is epidemic, es- pecially among young men," Ashe said. He noted at the service were young men who knew Alex and for which he thanked. "Any friend who needs help, reach out. If we save one soul, make someone feel better, then Alex's death won't be in vain," Ashe said. Acting chair and Scugog Mayor Tom Rowett extend- ed condolences to Ashe and his family.

Many people are losing the desire and ability to lis- ten to different viewpoints, making it difficult, if not im- possible, to trust and like others, says facilitator Glenn Brown. Leaving the Echo Cham- ber is a style of discussion that breaks through those divisions. People gather in a facilitated small group for about an hour-and-a-half, ideally with people who have different viewpoints on various topics. Anyone can suggest a hot topic. Go- ing around the circle, each of those in attendance sim- ply state their viewpoint and explain what has brought them in their life to this point of view. "We want others to hear our story and understand how we got here," Brown said in an email. "That is the point of this group experi- ence. We won't argue about the view, and we will listen and speak respectfully." The meetings are sched- uled for April 21 at 1 p.m., Ju- ly 14 at 1 p.m. and July 19 at 6 p.m., at George Ashe Li- brary, 470 Kingston Rd., Pickering. More dates will be announced in the fall. Register at www.picnet- .com in advance. The dead- line to register for the first session is April 19.

Maxwell and Malia Graf have decided to host a neighbourhood cleanup on Earth Day. Maxwell, 6, wants "to help clean up the neigh- bourhood and give the gar- bage men a hand. They can't get everything with their trucks." Malia, 5, wants "to help the Earth." They thought it best to get the entire neigh- bourhood involved be- cause Maxwell believes garbage is everyone's prob- lem and Malia says every- one likes a barbecue party. The cleanup will take place at 822 Douglas Ave. in Pickering on Sunday, April 22 at 11 a.m., with a barbe- cue thanks to Loblaws to follow at 12:30 p.m. Cleanup supplies will be provided.

Unlike many, the Brooklin resident decided to do his part to help defeat the disease. Galletta is the founder and organizer of Rockin' for the Cure, a registered nonprofit organization that hosts a rock concert to raise funds for the Canadi- an Cancer Society. 2018 is year four and in the first three, Galletta says around $20,000 has been raised. The all-ages Rockin' for the Cure comes to the Ajax Convention Centre, 550 Beck Cres., on April 27. "It's growing," Galletta says. "We want to be doing more of these events." Last year was a sellout and this year four tribute bands are featured: The AC/DC Show Canada (AC/ DC), Aeroforce (Aeros- mith), Permanent Waves (Rush) and Echo Room (Foo Fighters). Handling the guitar du- ties for Permanent Waves is 17-year-old guitar sensa- tion Ayden Jacobs of Ajax. A fairly new band, Perma- nent Waves played its first show in November at the Edge Lounge in Ajax. Jacobs started "fooling around" with the guitar when he was three or four years old, getting serious when he was around nine and taking lessons. Jacob lists players such as Slash, Eddie Van Halen and B.B. King as some of his favou- rites. "It's my passion and it's so fun and I never want to stop," he says. He's played two of the first three Rockin' for the Cures and says "it's such a great cause." "I've known people who have been affected by and passed away from cancer ... and Andrew's such a great guy," Jacobs says. In addition to the mu- sic, the event features a si- lent auction, food trucks, a 50/50 draw and door priz- es. The doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $40 in ad- vance at www.ticketscene- .ca or $45 at the door.

Cognitive anxiety comes in the form of forget- fulness, procrastination, lateness, self-doubt, indeci- sion, brain fog and internal criticism. On the other hand, so- matic anxiety expresses it- self in the body in the form of stomach pains, head- aches, nausea, clenched fists, backaches, tight mus- cles, tension, muscle twitches, nervousness and a racing heartbeat. Performance anxiety may encompass playing passively, lack of trust in self, temper tantrums, de- fensiveness when criti- cized and moving slowly or reacting too fast. Negative thoughts cre- ate anxiety. Examples like, "What if I don't score?," "What if I lose the puck?," "What if I strike out?," "What if we lose this game?". When these wor- ries become reality, the athlete loses confidence and trust in his or her abil- ities. Over time, a sense of failure haunts the athlete and may result in a slump or constant choking in crit- ical moments of the game. Excessive anxiety kills the joy, passion and moti- vation. It leads to perfor- mance problems and burn- out. It leaves a sense of nev- er being good enough, be- cause one is constantly looking for things that went wrong. Breathing is a very ef- fective antidote to anxiety. It calms the body and mind. Concentrating on one's breathing allows the oxy- gen to reach the brain. La- boured breathing prevents the brain from receiving proper oxygen flow. The brain needs a healthy sup- ply of oxygen to function at maximum efficiency. Focusing on the breath- ing directs the attention away from these obsessive worries and puts the brakes on runaway nega- tive thoughts. Concentrating on the process of performing, rather than the outcome, reduces anxiety. Let's take the example of golf: If we fo- cus on the score, we set our- selves up for excessive anx- iety because we cannot control the results. If we at- tend to the routine ap- proach to every shot, we can control the breathing, stance, posture, alignment and visualizing the ball go- ing to the target. A licensed sports and clinical psychologist can help reduce anxiety faster and more effectively than trying to do it alone or us- ing drugs. Dr. Douglas Smith is a li- censed psychologist in On- tario specializing in sport psychology since 1985. Con- tact him at 905-430-3538 or drdoug@promind.ca; web- site www.promind.ca Anxiety can damage performance in athletes Columnist Doug Smith says breathing is an effective antidote OPINION DR DOUGLAS SMITH ColumnOSHAWA - Cassandra Sribny couldn't have asked for much more from her five-year stay at the Univer- sity of Ontario Institute of Technology. Sribny, from Pickering, will graduate from the Oshawa university with a business degree and a job lined up in downtown To- ronto. Sribny will also be the University of Ontario Institute of Technology's (UOIT's) female athlete of the year, after leading the Ridgebacks to an undefeat- ed regular season in soccer for the first time in pro- gram history. Although she didn't know exactly how things would play out when she came to the school from St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in 2013, she did sense big things were ahead with the soccer team under coach Peyvand Mos- savat. "Definitely in my first year, I kind of saw that we were heading toward being a very successful team," she said. "I'm definitely proud of all the successes that we've had and that I've been able to be a part of that." The final two years were particularly rewarding, as the Ridgebacks won an On- tario University Athletics (OUA) championship and national bronze medal - the first such medal in the uni- versity's history - last year, and went undefeated in OUA play this past season, before being upset in the playoffs. A co-captain in her final year, Sribny started in all 16 games and recorded nine goals and two assists. Over her five-year career, she managed to score 34 goals, the most by any Ridgeback. In addition to being named athlete of the year, she took home the women's soccer leadership award and was named the team's most valuable player. "It was very exciting, and also unexpected," she said, crediting teammates for making the athlete of the year award possible. "It was an honour to receive that award, especially be- cause it was my last year, so it definitely topped off the season that we had." While Sribny will be leaving the university be- hind, she is excited about an opportunity to continue playing under Mossavat with many of her team- mates, who will form the nucleus of a new team, De- Ro United FC, in the League1 Ontario semi-pro- fessional loop. UOIT also recognized another graduating player, Ben Blasko of the men's hockey team, as its male athlete of the year during the 12th annual awards ga- la. Blasko, from Kingston, finished off his OUA hock- ey career with a season- high 35 points, breaking the Ridgeback single sea- son record, helping him to also earn the men's hockey MVP award. In his Ridge- back career, he finished with 23 goals, 58 assists for 81 points, ranking him sixth in all-time scoring with just three seasons un- der his belt. Women's soccer defend- er Alexis Kirton, of Picker- ing, and men's badminton player Zhiyi Chen of New- market, were named the freshman athletes of the year. Kirton was named an OUA second-team all-star and was key to the Ridge- backs defensive core that allowed only nine goals against. Chen helped write a piece of history for the UOIT badminton team as he was the first player in program history to reach an A flight final while lead- ing the team to it first victo- ry at the OUA champion- ship. He was also part of a trio of athletes who reached the national cham- pionship. Pickering's Cassandra Sribny and Ben Blasko of Kingston were named athletes of the year by the UOIT Ridgebacks for the 2017-18 season. Sribny, of the women's soccer team, and Blasko, from the men's hockey team, are both graduating.

ON NOW AT THE BRICK! OSHAWA - Curtis Hod- gins would give just about anything to be able to open the door to coach Darcy Haugan's office and shake his hand again, just as he did when he first met him on a recruiting trip to Humboldt, Sask., in mid- January. Sadly, that won't be pos- sible. Haugan was among the 16 who died in the terrible tragedy that has gripped the country since Friday, April 6, and devastated Humboldt, a town of about 6,000 people just over an hour's drive east of Saska- toon. Hodgins, head coach of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Ridgebacks men's hockey team, was so impressed by Haugan, assistant coach Mark Cross and the players he met, he returned again in March to see their junior hockey team, the Broncos, play a game in the Sas- katchewan Junior Hockey League playoffs - a 3-2 over- time win en route to a quar- ter-final victory over the Melfort Mustangs. The team was full of character players, Haugan assured, the type of people Hodgins has been trying to add to the university pro- gram in Oshawa - includ- ing two who were likely days away from commit- ting to UOIT and another perhaps to follow. Those plans, and so many more, were shat- tered at about 5 p.m. on April 6, when a bus carry- ing the Broncos to Nipawin for Game 5 of the semifi- nals collided with a trans- port truck, leaving 16 dead and 13 injured as of April 11. Cross was also among the dead, along with 10 players, including the one who was most likely to be heading to Oshawa in the fall. "The one thing that real- ly sticks out to me now, and Darcy said this to me a cou- ple of times, he said, 'Cur- tis, I'm so blessed, I have great people on my hockey team. You won't go wrong with any one of my hockey players'," Hodgins recalled of his first visit to Hum- boldt. "That's probably what brought me back a second time, because I had such a good feel for him and a trust factor with Dar- cy." Hodgins was im- pressed with how much hockey meant to the people of Humboldt, who filled the arena the night he was there, proudly sporting the green and gold colours of their team, and built a 50-50 fund close to $5,000. "It was quite an atmo- sphere. It's your typical small junior hockey town, everything revolved around the Broncos," he said. "It's just a real tight community. There's sim- ply not much there and ev- erybody is connected to the Broncos." Hodgins, who has driv- en the same stretch of high- way and remembers the in- tersection where the acci- dent occurred, first heard the news through Twitter at about 8 p.m. April 6, when the Nipawin Hawks ominously announced the cancellation of that night's game. He soon after called another coach he knew in Saskatchewan, as details slowly started to emerge. "I did what the rest of the country probably did the rest of the night - I franti- cally searched social me- dia, looking for updates, looking for names and praying for the best," said Hodgins, a 45-year-old Courtice resident and fa- ther of two. "The hockey world is massive, but in so many ways it's so small as well," he added. "I think junior hockey, especially, is such a big part of the fabric of this country, and when something like this hap- pens, it's unfathomable. It's such a tragedy, it will take a long time for anybody to get over it." Craig Fisher, the athlet- ics programs adviser at UOIT, also has a connec- tion to the Broncos, as a for- mer teammate of Chris Jo- seph, father of Jaxon Jo- seph, who died in the crash. Chris Joseph gave an emotional interview with TSN on April 9 where he described his 20-year-old son as a "glue guy . never the star, never the grinder, but very flexible." Fisher, who played most of a season with Chris Jo- seph with the American Hockey League's Cape Breton Oilers in 1991-92, said the apple didn't fall very far from the tree. "He talks about his son being a glue guy, and that was him," said Fisher. "He wasn't an attention-seeker, just a real solid teammate. When things were down, he was one of those guys who had a good radar on what guys needed, and it sounds like his son was the same." Fisher, 47, played 12 NHL games before having his career ended by a seri- ous concussion in 1999, while Joseph, 48, was a fifth overall draft pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins who played 510 NHL games. "When you're out and done with it, all that mat- ters is if you were a good teammate, that you were there for people," said Fish- er, praising Joseph for be- ing just that and so gener- ous to share the stories of his son. "I wasn't surprised because he's a courageous guy, but seeing that, it was hard to watch." HOCKEY Humboldt Broncos hockey players coveted by UOIT Ridgebacks At least 2 players likely headed to Oshawa if not for tragic bus accident BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com Curtis Hodgins, shown here after accepting the job as head coach of the UOIT Ridgebacks men's hockey team in 2015, was expecting at least two players from the Humboldt Broncos to commit to the program following their season in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Sadly, one was killed and the other injured in an accident that claimed the lives of 16 people aboard the team bus. Metroland file photo Tradyo Turns Your Clutter Into Cash.

After knocking off the Dun- lops in five games of the Ontario final, the Stoney Creek Generals went on to win the coveted Allan Cup as the best Sr. A hockey team in Canada. The Generals started slowly at the six-team tournament in Sas- katchewan, with a loss and a tie in round-robin play, but then reeled off three straight wins to claim the national champion- ship, including 7-4 over Alberta's Lacombe Generals in the final Saturday, April 14. Oshawa's Justin Sawyer, a six- foot-six-inch, 240-pound defence- man who played for the Oshawa Legionaires and Oshawa Gener- als as a junior, scored the tourna- ment's final goal, an empty-net- ter just before the final buzzer. Thanks to a knee injury, it was Sawyer's only shift of the game. Several other former Oshawa Generals were more instrumen- tal overall, including twins Jus- tin and Tyler Donati and Igor Gongalsky, who combined on the winning goal 5:50 into the third period, scored by Tyler Donati. Justin Donati shared the tour- nament lead with seven points, including four goals, while Tyler Donati had two goals and five points, and Gongalsky a goal and three points. Chris Hulit, another former Oshawa General, also scored once. This was the third straight year Stoney Creek represented Ontario at the Allan Cup tourna- ment, and its first win. It marked the first time a non- hosting Ontario team won the Al- lan Cup since 2005, when the Thunder Bay Bombers won in Lloydminster, Sask. Both the Dundas Real McCoys and Brant- ford Blast won as host, in 2014 and 2008 respectively. The Dunlops played in three straight Allan Cups from 2006 to 2008, twice reaching the final without winning. A previous in- carnation of the team won the Al- lan Cup in 1957 and 1959.

PETERSEN, Karen Louise (Nee Reiffenstein) Fifty-five years young; passed away tragically & unexpectedly on Saturday, April 7, 2018 at her home in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Karen was the beloved common- law partner of Blair Jones, doting mother of Dillon Petersen and Kate Petersen, dear daughter of Bernice Reiffenstein, sister to Wayne, Lynne (Yves), and Charles (Andrea), special Aunt of Marina, Zachary, Adam and Erik and pre-deceased by her father Raymond Reiffenstein. Karen grew up and raised her family in Ajax, Ontario. She was an avid reader and held a long career in information technology and was excited to live and work in her field in Yellowknife. Though she struggled with COPD these past few years, Karen 's exuberant passionate and feisty spirit never waned. She is missed dearly.
