SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND GROESBEEK -- Pickering resident Jan de Vries, of the National Council of Veteran Associations in Canada, participated in the laying of the wreaths at the Ceremony of Remembrance at the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery in the Netherlands May 3. The cemetery holds 2,338 Canadian graves, the largest number of Canadian war dead in the Netherlands.Canadians honoured at Groesbeek PICKERING STUDENTS PLEDGE TO REMEMBER AT WAR CEMETERY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com THE NETHERLANDS -- Among the tombstones and chirping birds of Groesbeek cemetery, a pair of students stood before Dutch royalty and made a commitment to remember. In the cool grayness of a damp Dutch after- noon, where the green cemetery is filled with row after row of bone-white tombstones, a student from Anderson Collegiate Vocational Institute in Whitby and John McCrae Secondary School in Nepean became part of the official Ceremony of Remembrance at the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery. The commitment they made: to remember the sacrifice of the soldiers buried before them, killed while liberating the Netherlands during the Sec- ond World War. “They were young and we are young, giv- ing freely of themselves, to them we pledge... to carry the torch to never forget,” Emily Tippins of Anderson CVI read while Queen Beatrix of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Princess Margriet, and others listened respectfully.

Following her reading, Nicholas Losacco of John McCrae Secondary School made the same commitment, but in French. The two teenagers are among about 2,400 students attending this year’s 65th Victory in Europe anniversary celebrations in the Neth- erlands with EF Educational Tours. At the May 3 event, about 200 students were present for the commemorative service, which was also attended by a Veterans Affairs Canada delegation of veterans, veterans’ organizations, youth representatives and par- liamentarians, including Jean-Pierre Black- burn, Canada’s Minister of Veterans Affairs. “We are very honoured by your pres- ence,” said Eimert van Middelkoop, Minis- ter of Defence of the Netherlands, during his address to the crowd of about 1,000 before him. He spoke of the strong struggle for freedom the Netherlands faced and the help it received. Canadians fought horrendous battles there. “The price they paid was enormous,” he said. “Losing so many when the end was so near.” Canada also provided a safe haven for the Dutch Royal Family when the situation was dark, he said. Nearby sat Princess Margriet, born in Ottawa during the Second World War. “We thank you Canada,” Mr. van Middelkoop continued. “The bonds that were forged in those days can only grow stronger over time.” The presence of so many Canadians attending the memorial helps illustrate that friendship today, he added. “We will always remember that freedom is not free,” Mr. van Middelkoop said. “We will always remember that 65 years ago these soldiers paid the high- est price. We will always remember.” Following Mr. van Middelkoop’s speech, Mr. Blackburn noted how honoured Canada was to be in Groesbeek in the presence of roy- alty. “Your presence reminds us of the special connection between our nations,” he said. “It is our duty to honour this past we share, our duty to remember,” he continued. “We share a memory of the cost of war.” With the playing of the Last Post, the clicking of media cameras ceased and, where there was a pause in the music, only the chirping of birds could be heard in the final and peaceful resting place of more than 2,300 Canadians who died fighting. Metroland Durham Region Media Group reporter Crystal Crimi and photographer/videographer Sabrina Byrnes will be following the students as they make their way across the Netherlands May 1 to 8.

BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- A south Ajax family got a big surprise Tuesday afternoon when a deer crashed through their home’s front window. At 14 Doyle Crt., resident Conner Saunders was upstairs with his girlfriend Paige Lewet at around 1:30 p.m. when they heard a crash. “It just kind of was a huge crash, at first we thought it was the dog,” said Ms. Lewet. But the family dog, a deaf basset hound, was still sleep- ing when Mr. Saunders went downstairs and found an unexpected visitor. “There was a deer in the kitchen thrashing around,” he said. The deer would eventually end up resting in the kitchen. The couple took the dog and put it in an upstairs bed- room and called the police. “They asked us what was going on and I told them there was a deer in the house and the guy was like, ‘there’s a deer in the house’? And then he said they’re sending police and animal control,” said Ms. Lewet. The home’s front window was shattered where the deer entered and Mr. Saunders said the animal looked injured and was bleeding. It came to rest in the home’s kitchen. Police arrived at the Pickering Beach-area home shortly after Ms. Lewet placed the call and found there was a second deer, just three houses down, in another home’s backyard. As the drama unfolded, neighbours gathered to watch what was going on, at the same time a construction crew was working on the road, complicating the situation. Workers were pouring wet cement for new curbs forc- ing everyone at the scene to traverse planks to reach the homes. The only cars allowed onto the court were the police cruisers and animal services vehicles. Mr. Saunders’s mother, Helen McMahon, was visibly agitated as the afternoon wore one, fearing that both deer would be put down. She said she didn’t understand why the deer in the backyard wasn’t relocated. “If she’s hurt in my kitchen, I understand,” she said. “The other one, there’s nothing wrong with him ... it’s wild and it’s a life and I just want it to stay that way.” But that wasn’t to be the case. The deer in the back- yard was euthanized first. “It was darting in and out and it was really high strung and the Ministry of Natu- ral Resources recommends in a situation like that where there’s a threat not only to the deer but to public safety that the deer be tranquilized and then euthanized by a professional vet and that’s what happened,” said Town of Ajax spokeswoman Christie McLardie. At roughly 5 p.m. Ms. McLardie said the plan was to euthanize the deer in the home as well after the tran- quilizers kicked in. “In the second case, the deer will be euthanized, it’s injured, it’s cut and it’s bleeding and there’s a potential for a dangerous situation in the residence.” Ms. McLardie said there was no other option. “The Town doesn’t have a relocation plan for deer,” she said. Police Inspector Mitch Colling said he thought the deer in the kitchen was an adult female and the one in the backyard was a younger deer. He speculated that the deer had entered the subdivision looking for food.

JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND WILDLIFE Deer crashes through front window into Ajax home Jury begins deliberations in first-degree murder trial KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Aimee McIntyre planned the murder of an Ajax man and “manip- ulated” two men to carry out the deed. That’s the position of Crown prosecu- tor Kent Saliwonchyk in the first-degree murder trial of Ms. McIntyre, a Bobcay- geon resident. However, defence attorney Adam Ber- nstein told the jury on Monday there’s “no evidence to support a planned and deliberate murder. “If you’re satisfied Aimee McIntyre assisted and abetted in the murder, the appropriate verdict is Aimee McIntyre is guilty of manslaughter,” Mr. Bernstein stated. Ms. McIntyre has been charged with the first-degree murder in the death of Karl O’Reggio on July 14, 2007. The Crown and defence presented the seven-man, five-women jury with their versions of the crime. The two sides agreed Ms. McIntyre and Mr. O’Reggio had had a relation- ship that had gone sour days before Mr. O’Reggio’s death. Two men, Nathan Kelly and Jonathan Ebanks, have already pleaded guilty to murder in the case. Details of that guilty plea are under a publication ban until the jury in Ms. McIntyre’s case is sequestered. Mr. O’Reggio was stabbed six times, including twice in the heart, in his Tresher Court basement apartment. In an agreed statement of facts, both the Crown and defence noted Ms. McIntyre parked her car in the parking lot of Lester B. Pearson Public School, behind Mr. O’Reggio’s house. A wit- ness saw Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ebanks head toward the wrong house, and then saw Ms. McIntyre get out of the car and direct them to the correct house. In his summation, Mr. Bernstein said the murder charge against his client “doesn’t stand up to the legal definition of murder, either individually or collec- tively.” Mr. Ebanks and Natasha Visscher, Ms. McIntyre’s cousin, testified for the Crown. Both were present before and after the murder, court heard. During the trial, Mr. Ebanks tried to avoid testifying, fearing he would be labelled a rat and suffering the conse- quences. Mr. Bernstein said neither witness “gave evidence in support of a planned murder. In fact, they gave evidence that doesn’t support it.” He pointed out that neither one had said Ms. McIntyre wanted Mr. O’Reggio killed. When she drove Mr. Kelly, Mr. Ebanks and Ms. Visscher to Mr. O’Reggio’s house, it was only to scare him and per- haps beat him up, Mr. Bernstein stated. In his summation, Mr. Saliwonchyk said the evidence clearly pointed to a first-degree guilty charge. “At its core, why did Ms. McIntyre bring Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ebanks to Karl O’Reggio? That’s the issue in this case,” Mr. Saliwonchyk stated. Before the murder, Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ebanks didn’t know Mr. O’Reggio and didn’t know where he lived, Mr. Sali- wonchyk said. “This was her plan and she had plenty of time to consider it, right down to the final conversation with Mr. Ebanks. The Crown’s position is she’s guilty of first- degree murder,” he stated. The jury is now in deliberations.

Fire crews were called in at roughly 10:30 p.m. Saturday to 640 Bayly St. E. The raised bungalow is located just east of Audley Road on the north side of Bayly and, other than a house next door, it’s surrounded by farmers’ fields. Four fire trucks were at the scene, said Ajax chief fire prevention officer Keith Doucette. “It took them about three hours to get it under control,” he said. “Flames were going through the roof when we actually got there.” By the time a neighbour called it in, the fire had already spread to the attic. “It’s very hard to attack a fire between a ceiling and a roof space,” said Mr. Dou- cette. Smoke alarms were working properly, but no one was home when the fire broke out in the kitchen. “Through discussions with the tenants and with the police, it was determined the fire had been caused by unattended cook- ing and the fire seemed to originate in the stove area,” said Mr. Doucette. Though the family was away, a friend had visited the home earlier. Mr. Doucette said there’s nothing suspicious about the fire. The residents were renters, said property manager Debora Heath, who checked out the scene on Monday. “They were in the process of moving out,” she said. “A relative was moving them out so that’s when the fire took place.” Both the home and the one next door were slated to be vacated by the end of May, said a neighbour who identified him- self only as “John”. He did not return home on Sunday morning until after firefighters had left. “They gave us three months notice, which is plenty, so they were good to us,” he said. The burnt-out home will likely have to be demolished as it has sustained between $200,000 and $250,000 in damage. How- ever, that was in the cards for both homes even before the fire broke out. “Demolition was a consideration for sure,” said Ms. Heath. Beyond that, Mr. Doucette warns Ajax residents to be careful when they’re cook- ing. “Unattended cooking is one of the main problems in the province, and certain- ly one of our main concern,” he said. “In Ajax recently, we’ve had a number of fires caused by cooking.” EMERGENCY SERVICES Ajax fire caused by unattended cooking JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- Fire ripped thourgh a home on Bayly Street, east of Shoal Point Road, on May 1, causing extensive damage.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions COMMUTING Durham Region Transit changes put me back into my car To the editor: Re: ‘Big changes to Ajax bus routes’, April 30. After reading this recent article, Ajax transit riders remain as dissatisfied as ever concerning the recent service changes by Durham Region Transit. Your report- er wrote about the DRT responses but did not balance the story with the other impor- tant resident issues that DRT chose not to address. In fact, DRT waited until the very last minute to inform both its riders and operators of the changes involved, con- trary to its own communication policies. According to DRT deputy general manager Neil Killens, they consider this construc- tion event a “temporary diversion” and are therefore not obligated to provide either extended notice or consultation with stake- holders. Combine that with its timing close to a recent GO schedule change and DRT has displayed an alarming lack of sensitiv- ity to its customers. DRT also declined to address why a new left turn was introduced at Durham’s most dangerous and delayed intersection (Hwy. 2 and Salem), or why Cadarackque resi- dents will now have to dash across four lanes of Hwy. 2 traffic to catch an inbound bus. Perhaps most alarming is that there is virtually no Ajax DRT bus service along Kingston Road or to Ajax Plaza for the duration of this “temporary diversion”. And all because of a closure to Ajax’s most strategic roadway -- Fairall Street? Does the DRT really know its customers, or at least the ones that are left? I’m taking the car now. Kim Sadler Ajax GENDER EQUALITY Let’s not pretend there aren’t differences To the editor: Re: Letting girls choose where they’ll be the most competitive (editorial, Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser, April 30). According to this editorial, girls who are competitive enough will be allowed to try out for the boys’ team. You state that this is “a logical next step in acknowledging our deep belief in equality of the sexes”. I would be more likely to believe in your deep belief in equality if this plan included letting the boys who didn’t make the cut on the boys’ team, try out for the girls’ team. If it is necessary for the girls to play on the boys’ team in the name of equality, the only logical conclusion is to get rid of sex- segregated sports teams completely. Of course, we could also be wise enough to recognize the blatantly obvious, that boys and girls are different and equality doesn’t mean pretending those differences don’t exist. Malcolm T. Baron Oshawa GOVERNMENT SERVICES Seniors deserve a welcoming environment To the editor: I recently took my 80-year-old mother to her senior driver written test. How disre- spectful we are to the elderly. I’m appalled at how cold the environment at the centre was. Her appointment was for 9 a.m. but it was almost 9:15 a.m. before a staff member came to take the group in. The waiting room had uncomfortable seat- ing in the form of cold metal chairs. There was no one at the counter, only a sign that states, “If you need to talk to someone, pick up the phone and talk.” Not even a sign that tells you to take a seat and someone will be with you. I realize some seniors should vol- unteer to give up their licence, but can we at least afford them the dignity that they deserve by having comfortable seating, maybe a friendly face to greet them? How about a sign that says, “It will be OK, don’t be nervous.” That last bit of independence is, I imag- ine, an awful thing to lose. In my work with seniors the one very important thing I have learned from that generation is that I am going to be there one day. On a lighter note, Mom passed. J.R.

The blitz focused on unsafe and ille- gal crossings where the rails traverse city streets and on rail corridors which are pop- ular shortcut spots for pedestrians. The safety blitz is an important initia- tive to remind people about the dangers of ignoring safety signals and gated rail cross- ings when trains approach. Along with the educational component of the blitz, CN officials point out they are also seeking stiff- er provincial penalties for pedestrians and motorists who violate the law and endan- ger lives, and are calling for rail safety to be included in driver education courses. Considering there were more than 250 accidents on railways in 2009, 71 of which resulted in fatalities, the need for greater awareness and education is clear. Motorists and pedestrians alike have an obligation to observe the laws, certainly, but common sense is always the best guide. If you’re approaching a crossing, whether on foot or behind the wheel of a vehicle, observe what’s going on around you. If the gates are descending, the lights flashing and the bells clanging, do not pro- ceed in any case. The focus on safety and awareness is welcome, of course, but CN officials also have some work to do on that file. Dur- ham Region has seen six separate derail- ments in its communities since 2004, one of which killed two women in Whitby, and one as recently as last month when several train cars jumped the tracks in Pickering. Though CN officials have agreed to pay all reasonable costs in the most recent inci- dent, it’s clear that more must be done -- both on the tracks and in the communities -- to ensure that these derailments never again occur. That requires a commitment from CN, the federal transport ministry, and other agen- cies charged with operation, maintenance and state-of-repair responsibilities on the nation’s railways. We all have a responsibility in this to ensure that trains are smoothly and safely crossing our communities. The responsibil- ities of CN officials are certainly clear. The rest of us must do our part. We acknowl- edge that obligation by adhering to the law, obeying crossing signals, bypassing that hole in the fence and not using the rail cor- ridor as a shortcut to somewhere else. - Durham Region Media Group We all share safety responsibility on rail lines, crossings 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 5 , 2 0 1 0 7 P When you worry, what do you worry about most often?

Students had built a memorial for the much-loved teen. It’s always tricky to shoot people in mourning. When I noticed this couple with their backs to the camera I lined up the elements and fired off a few frames. Ryan Pfeiffer is a photographer with Metroland Durham Region Media Group RYAN PFEIFFER / BEHIND THE LENS MIKE JOHNSTON Is it a bad sign when you want to switch lives with your 15-year-old son? I wonder. As I write this, the kid is preparing to leave for a school trip down to Washing- ton for four days. They’re doing the Smith- sonian, White House, seeing a show at the Kennedy Centre and, best of all ... Gettys- burg. Gettysburg. Years ago, when the kids were small and we were driving down to Richmond for a friend’s wedding, I had thought I would get the chance to do Get- tysburg. I mean it was right on the way. I was stoked. I’ve always been a bit of a Civil War buff, but now, knowing that I’d soon be walking around the battlefield of one of the biggest conflagrations the con- tinent’s ever seen, I was almost weepy with delight. The closer we got, the more I was regal- ing the kids with stories of Little Round Top, Pickett’s Charge and of course, Lin- coln’s unforgettable ‘Four score and seven years ago...’. But my kids were small and the trip was long. The southern heat was living up to its reputation and our van’s A/C had given up the ghost somewhere around Pitts- burgh. The upshot was that in spite of my histrionic verbal descriptions of the can- nons and carnage, I was losing my audi- ence. The boys were flagging. Even my wife was starting to think that a Dairy Queen might have more allure than Cemetery Ridge. By the time we reached the park, the sun was at its merciless zenith and the kids and Suzanne looked like they’d just spent a week in the hold of the Amistad. The Crank-O-Meter was hovering dangerously close to the red. I was boned and I knew it. I could’ve forced the issue, I suppose, but then I pictured my seven-year-old throwing up all over some poor volunteer dressed in period costume and thought better of it. Do you know how hard it is to get vomit off of wool? So, my visit to Gettysburg National Mil- itary Park consisted of a long, very slow turn into ... and out of ... the parking lot. And now, ironically, the same kid whose green countenance kiboshed the first effort is going to get there before me. I should add that I feel only slightly less miffed about missing out on the Smithso- nian and The Kennedy Centre. I’d love to go to those places, too. Everybody knows that the Smithsonian has stuff like the Apollo space capsules, Lunar Rovers and the Wright Brothers’ plane, but they also have really impor- tant stuff ... like Archie Bunker’s chair. How cool would it be to see that? (Picture author at this point scuffing his shoe in the dirt with an ‘aww shucks, I never get to do anything neat’ look on his face.) Again, yet another thrill I will have to experience vicariously, through the spot- ty, tangential recollections of my 15-year- old. The final nail in the coffin, of course, is that scant days after his arrival home from my dream trip, he will be packing his little bastard suitcase for another trip to the Durham Integrated Arts Camp. Nine days of fun, music, laughter and sunlight. Did I mention I never got to go to camp? Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Four score and several years ago I missed out NEIL CRONE Where there’s smoke, there’s excitement There are many things I miss having moved from being a reporter to the edi- tor’s desk. At the top of the list is covering fires, but to be more precise, the very dis- tinct smell of smoke you get from a house fire. It’s very different from the smoke gener- ated at a backyard fire or a large camp fire. It doesn’t happen too often that I get to a fire, but a trip to the Bowmanville library last Wednesday evening allowed me a trip into the past. A large home on Old Scugog Road was on fire and word was beginning to spread around Bowmanville. My wife and I had spotted the smoke while on the way to the library and quickly changed course. We parked on Regional Road 57 along with many other cars and with my small digi- tal camera in one hand and a Blackberry in the other, I walked through a number of backyards to get close to the home. As I was approaching the home, the wind direction took a small turn and it began to waft toward me, a large plume of smoke from the house. As if I was Leonardo DiCaprio on the bow of the Titanic, I stood, arms out- stretched and let that smoke envelop me. Then it was back to work and pictures to take. The fire in Bowmanville Wednesday was the second in town that week. Then on the weekend, fire hit an Ajax home. Thankfully, no people were hurt in any of the fires though a few animals were killed in Monday’s fire at a farm in Clar- ington. When the scanner goes off in the news- room for a fire call, we all sense the urgen- cy. You can hear it in the voices of the fire- fighters as they arrive at the scene. And when our photographers return to the newsroom, along with the photos we race to view, we also go in search of that elusive smell. Managing editor Mike Johnston writes a column every second week about life in the newsroom. 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 5 , 2 0 1 0 8 P 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 5 , 2 0 1 0 9 %JSFDU"DDFTT (FOFSBM&ORVJSJFT 4FSWJDF%JTSVQUJPODJUZPGQJDLFSJOHDPN 5 )PVS-JOF 5PMM'SFF 55: DVTUPNFSDBSF!DJUZPGQJDLFSJOHDPN DJUZPGQJDLFSJOHDPN Attend Public Meetings at City Hall All meetings are open to the public.

In December 2009, the City of Pickering completed a traffi c analysis of the proposed parking structure inside the Pickering Town Centre parking area, located east of the Liverpool Road and Pickering Parkway intersection north of Highway 401. Traffi c capacity analysis was conducted to identify operational issues arising from alternative parking garage layouts, and to identify the ability of each alternative to accommodate projected traffi c volumes. The traffi c analysis concluded that there is a need to increase capacity along Pickering Parkway. The Schedule “B” EA will evaluate alternative solutions and options including installation of traffi c signals, adding a new intersection, remove/relocate/add property access and adding through lanes and/or turn lanes. In each optional improvement, pedestrian movements will also be reviewed. The Process The study will be conducted in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule “B” projects as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association “Municipal Class Environmental Assessment” document (October 2000, as amended in 2007), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA process includes public/external agency consultation, an evaluation of alternatives, an assessment of potential impacts associated with the proposed improvements, and development of measures to mitigate identifi ed impacts. A project fi le will be maintained to document the study process and conclusions reached which will be made available to the public for 30 days upon study completion. Agencies, stakeholders, and members of the public will be notifi ed and kept informed of study progress as part of the Class EA study.

Jonathan Ebanks and Nathan Kelly entered their pleas on March 16, about one month before another accused, Aimee McIntyre, 28, went on trial for first-degree murder. In a joint submission from the Crown and defence, the two were sentenced to life in prison, with no chance of parole for 16 years. Madame Justice Michelle Fuerst gave them credit for the three years they’ve been held in custody, so they could apply for parole in 13 years. Mr. Ebanks and Mr. Kelly had both been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Karl O’Reggio on July 14, 2007. They were arrested July 20 of that year. Justice Fuerst imposed a publication ban at sentencing, prohibiting any stories appear- ing before June 1 or when the jury in Ms. McIntyre’s trial is sequestered. Prior to Justice Fuerst imposing the sen- tence, Mr. O’Reggio’s three sisters gave victim impact statements. Astra Dwyer had a framed picture of her brother while giving her statement. After the murder, she wasn’t able to eat or sleep for months, she said. “I was scared to be in my own home. I was scared every time my husband had to go to the store or he had a late work night,” Ms. Dwyer stated. “I still look over my shoulder if it’s dark and I can’t think about living the next 40 years without my brother. “There are days when it feels like he dies all over again,” she added. Mr. O’Reggio’s son, Dimitri, was 11 months old when his father was killed. “He only got to love and cherish Dimitri on earth a short 11 months and two weeks.” Ms. Dwyer called the murder a “senseless, selfish, inhumane act. There’s a void no one can fill.” Dawne O’Reggio said, “It’s very difficult to explain the enormity of what you did to my family.” She was two months pregnant when her brother was murdered and she feared she would suffer a miscarriage. “My heart races from fear when I enter my own house. I search every room, every clos- et,” she said, “Even now, I fear whenever a stranger approaches. I don’t trust anyone because of what you did to my brother. “When you killed Karl, you killed a huge part of our family,” she said. Diane O’Reggio said, “The days, weeks and months following Karl’s murder were a night- mare. My spiritual and general well-being was at an all-time low. “Dimitri was his sole focus, to raise him. No one could deter him from that. His life changed. He loved his son unconditionally. I’ve never seen anyone work so hard at being a parent,” Diane O’Reggio stated. “I’ve lost faith in humanity. I’m not the per- son I was three years ago,” she said. “My fam- ily’s life journey has stopped.” In the agreed statement of facts, Ms. McIntyre and Mr. O’Reggio had had a vola- tile relationship that ended shortly before the incident. The two continued to send sexual- and profanity-laced text messages to each other. Ms. McIntyre then began a relationship with Mr. Kelly, at the time 18 years of age. She spoke to Mr. Kelly of the text messages and “claimed to be scared of Mr. O’Reggio,” Crown Kent Saliwonchyk said. She also told the two men that Mr. O’Reggio is “dangerous, dealt drugs and kept guns.” At the time, Ms. McIntyre was living in Bob- caygeon. On the night of the murder, Ms. McIntyre and Mr. O’Reggio sent several text messages back and forth. One from Ms. McIntyre stat- ed, “You ain’t got much time left. LOL.” She told Mr. Kelly of “sexually inappropri- ate texts,” Mr. Saliwonchyk stated. “Mr. Kelly reacted as expected and became very angry.” Mr. Kelly, Ms. McIntyre and her 15-year- old cousin left Bobcaygeon, going to Oshawa, where Mr. Kelly called on a friend known as Bandit to see if he would go with Mr. Kelly to confront Mr. O’Reggio. Bandit couldn’t go, so Mr. Kelly called Mr. Ebanks. The four then headed over to Mr. O’Reggio’s basement apartment. Mr. Ebanks pulled out the knife with a seven-inch blade, on which he had put black tape around the base as a makeshift handle. Mr. Kelly said they were going to Mr. O’Reggio’s to “f*** him up,” while Mr. Ebanks said they would “poke him. “All parties in the car heard the conversa- tion and they all knew what ‘poke’ meant,” Mr. Saliwonchyk said. “Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ebanks had never before met Mr. O’Reggio or been to his house.” The group drove by his house, making sure his car was there. They then parked in the Lester B. Pearson Public School parking lot, which backs onto where Mr. O’Reggio lived. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ebanks got out of the car and started to head to the house, when Ms. McIntyre got out and directed them to the correct house. She also told them “Karl is no f***ing joke and he’s dangerous. Your better be ready to use that (the knife).” The two went to the side door, which leads to the basement apartment. They knocked on the door and when Mr. O’Reggio answered, he was talking with his landlord on the phone. He was surprised and asked who the men were. “You don’t know who I am,” Mr. Kelly said. He and Mr. O’Reggio grabbed each other and fell down the stairs. They landed on their feet and there was a brief scuffle. Mr. Kelly grabbed Mr. O’Reggio from behind and held him. “Mr. Ebanks had Ms. McIntyre’s warning in his head,” Mr. Saliwonchyk said. Mr. Ebanks stabbed Mr. O’Reggio six times; twice in the heart, which were fatal blows, twice in the liver, once in the stomach and once in the right shoulder. Mr. O’Reggio fell to the floor in his kitchen, convulsing. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ebanks returned to the car. Mr. Kelly had blood on his clothing and Mr. Ebanks had the bloody knife. The four in the car “nervously discussed the attack,” Mr. Saliwonchyk stated. The 15-year-old became upset when the group discussed what happened. “Ms. McIntyre had no concerns about Mr. O’Reggio being dead or his condition.” The four drove back to Bobcaygeon, where they washed their clothing, burning the clothes when the blood didn’t come out. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ebanks discarded the knife in the woods near the Bobcaygeon home. On July 16, Mr. O’Reggio’s landlord went to the house and found Mr. O’Reggio dead on his bed. The next day, Ms. McIntyre was inter- viewed by police and “denied she was at Mr. O’Reggio’s place or having anything to do with it.” Mr. Saliwonchyk added Ms. McIntyre told the 15-year-old that Mr. O’Reggio was fine and she also told the girl to lie to police, tell- ing them the four hadn’t been in Ajax. On July 20, Durham Regional Police seized a pair of Mr. Kelly’s size 13 running shoes, on which testing found Mr. O’Reggio’s blood. Mr. Saliwonchyk said the 16-year sentence “takes into account the plea of guilty, the seri- ousness of the offence and also the recogni- tion, had the case gone to trial, the finding of the jury could be more than second-degree murder.” He acknowledged both Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ebanks “came from difficult backgrounds.” Both were removed from their homes at an early age and placed in foster homes. He said the victim impact statements all spoke of a loss of security and safety. “They created fear in a family that has no reason to have fear.” Mr. Ebanks’s foster parents were in the court, while two of Mr. Kelly’s foster brothers attended. Mr. Ebanks’s lawyer Adam Weisberg said Mr. Ebanks “was sorry for the pain he’s caused. He wished he could go back and change things.” Mr. Kelly’s lawyer, Royland Moriah, said his client was 18 at the time of the murder. “He was very young and impressionable. He was unaware of the consequences of the actions he took. That’s not an attempt to dis- tance himself from the act. He caused con- siderable grief for the O’Reggio family and his friends,” Mr. Moriah said. “He acknowledges he made choices. These are choices, decisions he made and he’ll have to live with them,” Mr. Moriah said, adding his client will be in his late 30s when he’s first eligible for parole. Both men apologized for their actions. Turning to the O’Reggio family, Mr. Ebanks said, “I’m sorry for what happened and I ask for your forgiveness. From the bottom of my heart, I’m sorry.” Mr. Kelly, also turning to the family, said, “My apologies for what happened. It won’t bring him back. I’m sorry for my actions. I’m sorry.” Justice Fuerst said the family “will continue to suffer his loss.” Pleading guilty, she said, is a “sign of remorse. They must take responsi- bility for their own actions.” The two were “significantly manipulated by an older person,” she said. “There’s an opportunity for rehabilitation. I’m satisfied the parole recommendation is a fit and just disposition.” Both were also ordered to submit a sample to the national DNA databank and had a life- time ban on possessing a firearm. COURTS Pair plead guilty in Ajax murder PUBLICATION BAN A publication ban imposed by Justice Michelle Fuerst meant this story couldn’t be published in the newspaper or online until the jury in Aimee McIntyre’s first-degree murder trial was sequestered. Metroland Durham Region Media Group is fundamentally opposed to publication bans, but in this case, agreed to one given the closeness of the start of Ms. McIntyre’s trial and the guilty pleas entered by Jonathan Ebanks and Nathan Kelly. Managing editor Mike Johnston and reporter Keith Gilligan attended the March 16 court date to again state the paper’s opposition to publication bans in principle, but wouldn’t be contesting one in this case. Crown Kent Saliwonchyk said in seek- ing the ban that if the story were to appear prior to the start of the trial, prospective jurors could have been prejudiced. The lawyer for Ms. McIntyre agreed with the Crown in having the ban imposed. DURHAM -- This picture taken in Lindsay by a Durham police surveillance unit was offered as evidence during the first-degree murder trial of Aimee McIntyre. With Ms. McIntyre is Jonathan Ebanks, in the hat and Nathan Kelly. Both men had earlier pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Karl O’Reggio on July 14, 2007. The jury is now deliberating on the role Ms. McIntyre played in the killing. 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 5 , 2 0 1 0 11 AP No compromise on safety violations MANDI HARGRAVE mhargrave@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- In an effort to prevent avoid- able fatalities and debilitating inju- ries, CN police conducted safety blitzes throughout the country during Rail Safe- ty Week which ended on Sunday. In Oshawa, officers were watching motorists and pedestrians at the railway crossing on Wilson Road just south of Bloor Street April 27. The officers were making sure every- one was obeying signs and crossing sig- nals. “For pedestrians, the only place they can cross is at a level crossing. Wheth- er it be a hole in the fence or a parting in the fence, there’s no legal right to be crossing there,” said Constable Rose- Marie Ritchie of CN police. “That’s not a safe way of crossing there either. In regards to vehicles, lights, bells, crossing gates, everything is to be obeyed. There are speed limits coming up to crossings. There’s a reason for all of those and the main reason is public safety.” The No Compromise campaign by CN focuses on tougher enforcement, along with education and prevention. There were more than 250 accidents on rail- ways throughout Canada in 2009, 71 of which were fatalities. “We’re hoping that the more we educate and the more we let people know what’s happening and how it is, that that might make them think twice and bring those numbers down,” said Const. Ritchie. “It’s like when you come to an inter- section even if there’s not a stop sign you should be slowing down to make sure that everything is clear. No different at a level crossing; a vehicle approaching a level crossing should be slowing down, looking both ways, making sure every- thing is clear and proceeding through if safe to do so.” CN is calling for stiffer provincial pen- alties for rail safety violations and would like to see rail safety included in driver education, for new drivers, truck drivers and school bus drivers. “We will continue to use education and prevention, but we are going to be even tougher on enforcement,” said CN police chief Stephen Covey in a release.

For pedestrians, the only safe place they can cross is at a level crossing. Const. Rose-Marie Ritchie of CN Police New charges laid after warrants executed JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A man already accused of murder is facing dozens of new weapons- related charges as a result of an ongoing police investigation. On April 30, Durham police charged Vijay Singh, 29, with 34 charges relating to the possession of weapons, drugs and explosives, the result of search warrants executed during the investigation of a dou- ble homicide that began nearly a year ago. Mr. Singh, a resident of both Scarbor- ough and Burnaby, B.C. and John Le, 38, of Markham are charged with two counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping, forcible confinement and illegal use of a firearm in the killings of Harjinder Singh Sandhu and Puneet Singh Chhina, whose bodies were found in the trunk of a car abandoned on Rosebank Road in Pickering May 5, 2009. Two other men have been charged with accessory after the fact to murder: Ganesh Singh, 56, Vijay Singh’s father, and 34-year- old Zaki Goffur. The new charges against Vijay Singh were laid after Durham homicide officers executed search warrants at a residence and storage units connected to the man. On March 31, cops found a cache of guns, ammunition and explosives in a Scarbor- ough storage facility and also found explo- sives and materials related to a drug lab at another storage unit, police said. On April 2, police searched a third stor- age unit in Toronto where they discovered firearms and ammunition. And a search of a Scarborough residence owned by Mr. Singh resulted in the seizure of a gun and ammunition, police said. Police said that 18 guns were seized dur- ing the searches.

Pickering resident Jan Whalen was walking to work at the United Way offices just south of the GO station and was crossing at Fairall Street and Westney Road when she was hit. Police said she ran in front of the bus as it pulled into the intersection. The bus was making a right turn from the station onto Westney Road. Ms. Whalen was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and released later that same day. “I am doing fine. I’m really achy, I have stitches and a really purple eye,” said Ms. Whalen, adding luckily she didn’t have any broken bones though she may have a hairline fracture. The DRT bus driver was also taken to the hospi- tal, suffering shock. Police say they don’t anticipate charges against the bus driver and are still investigating. Ms. Whalen said she was crossing on a green light, but officials from DRT said the bus driver had a green light and Ms. Whalen was crossing on a red. Police spoke with one witness who said they believed Ms. Whalen was crossing on a red.

The group of students from Ajax and Pickering is heading to Romania June 30 to July 14 to participate in a Habitat for Humanity Durham’s Youth Global Village pilot program. “I am excited to learn a new language and how to build houses,” said Nikita Kaarls- Edwards, one of the teens going on the trip. The teens are all Pickering High School students currently in Grade 9 to 12, and they’ll be led by geography teacher Kim Penzhorn. This will be Ms. Penzhorn’s 10th summer volunteering overseas for Habi- tat for Humanity and she’s participated in builds in several eastern European coun- tries. She was inspired to take a group of local students after seeing a school group from Switzerland working on a project in Roma- nia. The students will fly to Budapest, Hunga- ry and then travel to Beius, Romania where they’ll be put to work building a home. The details of the project are still to be deter- mined but in the past, Habitat for Human- ity Romania has built homes for fami- lies where the adults had graduated from Romania’s orphanage system. “In eastern Europe in general and in Romania in particular they tend to work on multiple family houses, duplexes or row houses,” said Ms. Penzhorn. Though the trip is not an official school trip, many of the teens were taught by Ms. Penzhorn at some point. “I have a captive audience in that I teach ninth grade geography and they’re all subject to a presentation on Habitat for Humanity,” she said. The students participating in the trip had to fill out applications and go through an interview process. “I was looking for students who wanted to help others and make a difference,” said Ms. Penzhorn. “I was looking for kids who were willing to put in the commitment pre- trip.” The teens are taking classes to improve their construction skills and taking Roma- nian language classes. In Beius, they’ll be living with a local family. “My dad is really jealous because he want- ed to come. He is a contractor and would like to build,” said student Alex Murray. But before they could sign up, the youths had to convince their parents to allow them to go. John McFarlane wasn’t sure about his daughter Taylor going abroad until he saw Ms. Penzhorn’s presentation on the trip. “It didn’t take too much convincing, but it’s still my little girl going off. I couldn’t be more proud of her,” he said. “My parents were very supportive. They wish they were going, too,” said Taylor. Tom and Louise Sabino will see off both their son Nicholas and their daughter Nico- lette. They said they are enthusiastic about the opportunity. “We were like go, just go, we’re advocates of travelling abroad,” said Ms. Sabino. “I hope this is an eye opener for them to see how fortunate they are,” added Mr. Sabino. “Excitement doesn’t describe how happy I am,” said Nicolette. In preparation for the trip, the students will be participating in a number of fund- raising activities.

While there are scores of ideas out there in terms of gifts, here are a few she’s bound to love. 1Spa treatments: A gift certifi cate for a spa treatment or a massage will be appreciated, as will products she can use around the house to create a spa experience in her own bath. 2Home decor items: Chances are Mom can use a few new items around the house, particularly high-end ones that she can put on display. Crystal vases, porcelain fi gurines and items of similar stature are good considerations. 3Perfume: Sneak into Mom’s bedroom and see what scents she prefers. Go to the cosmetic section of your favorite department store and ask a salesperson to help you fi nd something along the same lines in a new fragrance. 4Watch: Show Mom that you appreciate spending “time” together. Every moment she checks her new watch, she’ll think of you. 5Flowers: A traditional favourite. From roses to mixed spring bouquets, fl owers never go out of style. Pick her favourite bloom or design a bouquet using her favourite colours. 6Jewelry: Women of all ages appreciate a little bling. Treat mom to a new piece of jewelry that will remind her of you. A heart pendant or diamond earrings are timeless gifts. Gifts That Will Wow Mom Makimono Japanese Restaurant Over the last 20 years or so, Durham Region residents have benefi ted from the various cultures that have become part of our community. One of those benefi ts is the cuisine. And one of the most successful cuisines to make its mark in the area is that of Japanese food. A perfect example of Japanese food in the area are the two locations of Makimono Japanese Restaurant with locations in Ajax (opened in 2006) and Pickering (opened in 2008).

The ceremony where friends and family came out to celebrate Canada’s new residents was organized by the Whitby Youth Council at the McKinney Centre May 1. An RCMP officer, Youth Council members, Mayor Pat Perkins and Citizenship Judge for Scarborough, Judge Philip Gaynor, were among those wel- coming the new Canadians to Durham Region. “I know that you are very excit- ed today and I want you to know that I am excited for you, also,” said Judge Gaynor. He noted the new residents have come from all over the world, including the Philip- pines, Jamaica, the U.S., China and Trinidad and Tobago. The judge explained the rights that Canada offers its residents, such as the freedom to learn in two languages, and the free- dom to work in any of Canada’s provinces and territories. He also shared the responsibilities Canadian citizens have, such as the responsibility to vote, to respect one another and to care for Canada’s heritage and envi- ronment. He said new Canadians bring- ing their own culture to enhance Canada’s fabric, as well as respecting Canada’s common values, will create a “better, stronger, united Canada.” Mayor Perkins thanked the youth council for its hard work in organizing the first citizen- ship ceremony it’s hosted, as a kick-off to Youth Week, and wel- comed the new Canadians. “We want everyone to partake in all we have to offer,” she said. She noted the new resi- dents live all over Durham but explained “We’re all neighbours and we all embrace one anoth- er.” Charito and Orlando Basallo originally brought their daugh- ter, Auldrey, now 12, from the Philippines to Canada in 2003 and weren’t sure if they’d return to their home country or not. But when their youngest, Jas- min, was born in Canada, and she officially became a Cana- dian citizen, they all decided to make their residence official. And they’re quite happy in Whitby. “Around our neighbourhood everyone says “hi” to you, even if they don’t know you,” Mrs. Basallo said. “Everyone’s help- ing each other.” Judge Gaynor, who came to Canada from Ireland more than 45 years ago, said the room was a “snapshot of Canada,” Although he understands it can be difficult to leave one’s coun- try, he said the new residents are now members of the Canadian family, and left them with some thoughts. “Love the old country,” he said. “Love Canada more.” CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY Durham welcomes 50 new Canadians KRISTEN CALIS / METROLAND WHITBY -- Jasmin Basallo, left, is already a Canadian since she was born here. Mother, Charito Basallo, right, her father and sis- ter became Canadians May 1. Material shipped to other sites KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Paper put out at the curb is being recycled even though the mill in Whitby has closed. Durham Region has a contract with Atlan- tic Packaging, the owner of the Whitby facil- ity, and the company is honouring that con- tract, say Regional officials. Atlantic Packaging closed the mill for an indefinite period in early March for econom- ic reasons. Craig Bartlett, manager of waste operations for Durham, said the closing “really isn’t an issue for us. We have a contract with Atlantic Packaging and they’re honouring it by mov- ing it to other mills.” The closing of the mill “isn’t as conten- tious” as it seems, from Durham’s point of view, he said. Having a facility in Durham was good, he noted. “It’s nice to know the material pro- duced locally was processed locally.” The material is being shipped to Canada Fibers mills in Thorold and Belleville, he noted, adding Atlantic Packaging is paying the shipping cost. The contract with Atlantic Packaging runs to June of next year. “At that time, we’ll arrange a new contract,” Mr. Bartlett said. “We’re con- fident we’ll find a vendor. Hopefully, it will be Atlantic Packaging in Whitby at that time.” Atlantic Packaging has been lobbying the Province, hoping to extend an energy rebate program, the Northern Pulp and Paper Elec- tricity Transition Program, to all paper mills in Ontario. Set up in 2006, NPPET only applies to paper mills north of Parry Sound. Quali- fied mills receive a rebate on the amount of electricity they use. If it qualified, the Whitby mill would see its electricity bills drop between $250,000 to $300,000 a month. Whitby council recently endorsed a motion calling on the Province to extend NPPET to all paper mills in Ontario. At its meeting last week, Durham council endorsed the Whitby position. During a meeting of Regional council’s works committee on April 28, works commis- sioner Cliff Curtis said the situation at Atlan- tic Packaging “hasn’t affected us yet.” Atlantic Packaging uses about $4 million a year in water. If the mill doesn’t reopen, Dur- ham will have to look at ways of making up that difference, said John Presta, director of environmental services for Durham. The Region has seen a decrease in water usage in the middle of March, Mr. Presta noted. At the end of the Region’s fiscal year, “We’ll find out what the true impact is,” he added. If there’s an impact, “it wouldn’t only be homeowners, but all water users” who make up the shortfall, he said. 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 5 , 2 0 1 0 20 AP Ontario Works is a proven local recruitment service.

In particular, we ask you to clean your hands before and after you leave a patient’s room. Hand sanitizer is mounted on the wall outside of every patient room. At Rouge Valley, we are committed to ensuring quality care and patient safety—that includes practicing good hand hygiene. Thank you for joining us in this effort. DID YOU KNOW?

Ajax-Pickering Raiders have five players drafted by OHL teams BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It’s a good thing Drake Caggiu- la has a valid passport. If things work out the way the 15-year-old has them planned, the Pickering resident will need it to crisscross the border a few times next season as a member of the Erie Otters. Caggiula was the top pick among five Ajax- Pickering minor midget triple-A Raiders dur- ing Saturday’s annual OHL draft conducted over the Internet, selected in the third round, 51st overall by the Otters. The centreman put up impressive numbers this past season, scor- ing 56 goals and adding 39 assists for 95 points in 66 games. He also isn’t afraid to mix it up, racking up 140 penalty minutes. “I’m excited,” says Caggiula about the pros- pects of playing with the Otters. “It’s going to be a change if I end up living in the States, but I’m very excited. Hopefully I can make the team there. “My intentions are to play in the OHL as soon as possible. If that’s not an option, then I would have to think about going NCAA. But right now, I’m interested in the OHL.” His coach with the Raiders, Trevor Nkiwane, feels that Caggiula’s game is suited for the OHL. “He’s an elite player, a great goal scorer, an excellent skater who reads the ice well, and he can finish,” says Nkiwane. “He’s not overly big (listed at five-foot-seven, 175 pounds) but he plays a real robust, physical game which I think will equate well in the OHL.” Caggiula, a Grade 10 student at St. Mary in Pickering, was at a weekend rookie camp for the Stouffville Spirit when news got out about him being selected by the Otters. “I was in the middle of my game and two of my buddies that go to school with me were standing by the glass and they were banging on the glass so I came over to them and they told me,” he says of getting the word. A scout and the assistant general man- ager from the Otters organization followed with a phone call on Sunday to welcome him aboard. Caggiula was followed closely in the draft by Devin Shore and Daniel Renouf, who were taken in the fourth and fifth rounds respec- tively by the Barrie Colts. Shore, a five-foot- nine, 155-pound centre, had 40-48-88 point totals in 68 games, while Renouf, a six-foot- one, 180-pound defenceman had 17-39-56 numbers in 73 games. Jeffrey Heard wasn’t far behind, taken in the fifth round by the Niagara IceDogs. The six- foot-one, 175-pound centre had 16 goals and 27 assists in 66 games this season to go along with 100 penalty minutes. The final player taken from the Raiders was goaltender Tim Ernst, whose 2.22 goals against average and six shutouts sparked the interest of the St. Mike’s Majors, who selected him in the 13th round. “Not just me, but all of their coaches over the years deserve a lot of credit,” says Nkiwane of the development process along the way. “Especially to have four players go in the first five rounds is really exciting. That means that those kids have a real legitimate shot at play- ing in the OHL in the near future. “It says a lot about all the coaches they’ve had from the Ajax-Pickering Raiders over the years.” Caggiula will be off to Erie for a rookie camp the weekend of May 21, and return again in June for a tour of the city and fitness testing. He was one of five players the Otters select- ed in the first three rounds, with four likely to get an opportunity to play for the hockey club next season. Caggiula is an Otter RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- Drake Caggiula, a Minor Midget Triple-A hockey player with the Ajax-Pickering Raiders, was drafted in the third round, 51st overall by the Erie Otters in the Ontario Hockey League draft on Saturday.

For the second year in a row, the Generals have scooped up a talented two- way centre who was cap- tain of his minor midget team high in the Ontario Hockey League draft. Scott Laughton of the vaunted Toronto Marlbo- ros is the latest to join the fold, selected third overall by general manager Chris DePiero Saturday. Coming a year after tak- ing Boone Jenner fourth overall, the addition of Laughton should give the team a solid one-two punch up the middle as early as next season. “It’s not a coincidence in that regard. You talk about philosophically going in a certain direction and hav- ing a plan. That’s the plan,” DePiero says of adding quality people both on and off the ice. “We’re trying to build that tradition back here in Oshawa and that’s the big- gest key, understanding that these are guys our fans are going to be proud of. We want to grow this cham- pionship calibre organiza- tion organically, and that’s through the draft with guys like Scott Laughton.” One look into Laughton’s eyes, and DePiero knew the six-foot-one, 170-pounder was a straight shooter and fierce competitor, he indi- cated shortly after making the pick. Playing for a Marlies team that won its own tournament, a Silver Stick championship and fin- ished second at the OHL Cup, Laughton led the way with 55 goals and 95 points in 76 games this season, along with 109 penalties minutes. The first of four Marlies to go in the first round, he was thrilled Saturday, when he met a few new teammates and was given a tour of the General Motors Centre. “It’s just unbelievable. I’m just ecstatic,” said Laughton, an Oakville res- ident who was accompa- nied by his parents, Craig and Bonnie. “All year leads up to this and to get picked third to the Generals is unbelievable, just so excit- ing.” Jenner certainly worked out well for the Gener- als, finishing as runner-up for rookie of the year after scoring 19 goals and 49 points in 65 games. Wel- coming Laughton to the team, along with Calvin de Haan and Christian Thom- as Saturday, Jenner sound- ed eager to get back on the ice. “It’ll be a fresh start with a player like him and a new hope for next year,” said Jenner, who, despite being only a year older, will glad- ly play the role of men- tor if he can. “I really look forward to just helping OHL DRAFT Generals add quality and size to the roster Scott come into the OHL ... show him the ropes kind of thing.” DePiero, who had five picks in the first three rounds, also clearly target- ed size with the draft, as all five of them were at least six feet tall, and 10 of 15 all told. With their second pick, 24th overall, the Generals selected six-foot-one, 175- pound forward Mark Pet- accio from Team Comcast in the United States. He had 23 goals, 37 points and 139 penalty minutes in 37 games. “Mark’s a big strong kid off the wall who I think will evolve into a goal scorer,” said DePiero. “Here’s a guy who will compete for ice and compete for space to be able to score goals. This is a kid who likes to score goals.” With three third-round picks, the Generals select- ed six-foot-four defence- man Joshua Brown out of London, six-foot-two for- ward Cody Payne of the Mississauga Reps and six- foot defenceman Mitch Eden from the North Cen- tral Predators. DePiero also picked up a pair of goalies, Justin Tug- well, who had a 1.50 goals- against average with Lon- don, in the sixth round, and Bo Bessette, who had a 1.31 GAA with the Toron- to Young Nationals, in the 10th round. As expected, the Sarnia Sting selected forward Alex Galchenyuk with the first pick, made official by the traditional awarding of the Jack Ferguson trophy Fri- day. The Belleville Bulls chose Markham Waxers forward Brendan Gaunce with the second pick. BRIAN MCNAIR / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Scott Laughton, the first pick for the Oshawa Generals and third overall in the 2010 Ontario Hockey League draft, held up a team jersey with coach and general manager Chris DePiero. 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 5 , 2 0 1 0 26 AP IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DURHAM REGION SENIOR CENTRES Hwy. #2 Gibb St. Champlain Ave. Th o r n t o n S t .
