Gas leak causes evacuation in Pickering Village AJAX -- Some homes and businesses in a portion of Pickering Village were evacuated after a natural gas line was cut Thursday afternoon. The incident happened around 3:25 p.m. in the area of Old Kingston Road and Windsor Drive. There was a smell of natural gas in the area. At our press time, Ajax Deputy Fire Chief Michael Gamba said they were “waiting for a heavy construction crew (from Enbridge Gas) to come in and dig it up and plug the line.” Ajax fire personnel added at the time they expected it to be 60 to 90 minutes before the leak was plugged. Mr. Gamba said it’s possible the line was cut by a crew working on the reconstruction of Old Kingston so it’s a Road. precaution. Ajax There was a limited Deputy Fire Chief evacuation in the immediate area. Motorists in a Michael Gamba nearby plaza were told not to start their vehicles for a short period of time. “Natural gas is explosive, so it’s a precaution,” Mr. Gamba said of closing Old Kingston Road from Elizabeth Street to Windsor Drive. The timing couldn’t have been worse for businesses. Simone Szauter, of Sauter’s Inn, said the restaurant was about to start its busy time. “We’re losing money here.” Beth Bianchi of Bead Rock noted, “This is rush hour and people pop in all the time.” Margaret Campbell, owner of That Chocolate Shoppe in the Village and The Pickering Village Ice Cream Shoppe, both of which are located in the Courtyard, said, “It was a perfect day for ice cream. We were making a killing.”

Police Taser suspect in Pickering Man arrested following domestic dispute, police confrontation PICKERING -- Durham police Tasered a man during a domestic call in Pickering Monday night that sent one cop to hospital with a non-life-threatening injury. A teenager called police for help about 8:40 p.m. after a man known to him
broke into a home armed with a metal pipe, looking for a particular female. The woman had fled the home, located in the Valley Farm Road and Finch Avenue area, and was safely inside a neighbour’s home, police said. A male victim inside the home was assaulted, and property extensively damaged. Police say they were confronted by the suspect upon their arrival. Both officers were threatened and one officer was assaulted, requiring medical treat-
ment for a non-life-threatening injury. A police cruiser was struck, resulting in minor damages. Police used a Taser on the man, who was arrested without further incident. The suspect was injured during an assault inside the home before police arrived and required medical attention at a local hospital for his injury, which police say was also non-life-threatening. A 36-year-old man faces a number of
charges including breach of probation, break and enter with intent to commit assault, four counts of assault with a weapon and three counts of threatening death or bodily harm. His name was not released. If you have information about the investigation: CALL 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2525

Dog euthanized, two Durham residents face cruelty charges DURHAM -- Two people are facing animal cruelty charges after the Durham Humane Society discovered a dog in a backyard shed of an Oshawa home. A German shepherd was removed from the shed, described as “deplorable” living conditions, and taken to a veterinary clinic for assessment and treatment. The dog was later euthanized due to its severely compromised health. “In this line of work, we see many unfortunate things but to witness such intention-
al cruelty and the deliberate infliction of so much suffering on an animal is heartbreaking,” says Debby Houghton, animal cruelty investigator with the Humane Society of Durham Region. Two individuals from the Oshawa area have been charged under the Ontario SPCA Act with permitting distress. The first court appearance is scheduled for May 10. The humane society would release no further details, and withheld the names of those charged.

Ajax-Pickering all-candidates’ meeting April 21
spots suspect,
AJAX-PICKERING -- Residents are invited to hear directly from the people hoping to win their vote in the Ajax-Pickering riding at an all-candidates’ meeting on April 21. The meeting is being organized by Community Development Council Durham in partnership with Devi Mandir and will be held at the temple’s auditorium at 2590
calls cops AJAX -- A worker who was terrorized during a robbery attempt called police days later when she saw a man she believed to be the suspect loitering in an Ajax plaza near the scene of the crime. Police have now charged a man in connection with the botched heist, at the Once Upon A Child outlet on Bayly Street. On April 4 at about 6 p.m., a man armed with a knife demanded cash from the female employee, who managed to dial 911 before fleeing with another worker and two customers to the rear of the store. A 911 operator heard the robbery in progress and dispatched Durham cops, who were unable to find the suspect. Almost a week later, on Sunday, the female victim recognized the suspect hanging around a retail plaza and called police. Officers arrived and arrested the suspect without incident. Glen Miller, 47, of Burcher Road, Ajax, faces robbery and weapons charges.
Door-to-door water system salesmen not from Durham DURHAM -- People going door-todoor selling water treatment systems are not connected with Durham Region. The Region has received calls from residents about sales representatives selling water filtration systems, implying they work for the Region. Some have even claimed to be meter readers. Greg Lymer, the manager of technical support in the Region’s works department, said the representatives have asked to conduct an in-house water test and, according to complaints, then use aggressive sales tactics and claim the testing is mandatory. “We want residents to know that all staff of The Regional Municipality of Durham must carry official identification. If you have doubts, call the Region and ask if we’ve sent someone into your neighbourhood,” Mr. Lymer said. Regional staff don’t go into private homes to test water, unless asked by the resident, and Durham doesn’t sell or endorse water filtration devices, Mr. Lymer added. It’s not the first time these sales tactics have been used before to sell water filtration systems, he noted. The Region provides safe drinking water, meeting or exceeding all provincial drinking water standards, Mr. Lymer stated. “Our water is safe to drink,” said Mr. Lymer. “Residents on the municipal water supply system are provided with safe drinking water of excellent quality. We encourage residents to call in and report unsolicited water filtration sales representatives to our technical support staff.” For more information or to report a complaint, call the works department at 905-668-7711, ext. 3488.

Campaign donations and the questions they raise in Durham
Questions raised this week about Oshawa MP Colin Carrie distributing more than $2,000 in political campaign donations in the run-up to last fall’s municipal election might make great political hay, but don’t speak in any way to subversion or a co-opting of the democratic political process. Mr. Carrie’s office confirmed this week that the incumbent Conservative MP donated to eight separate municipal campaigns in Oshawa, including that of Mayor John Henry. That has raised questions at city hall and among local candidates currently running against him in the federal election, and even inspired a conspiracy theory or two on Facebook. It’s true that such donations are most often seen by the electorate as tainting the process. Politicians of any stripe in Durham Region concerned about optics should consider that, even though they are well within rights to financially support candidates they believe are of a like mind, or who can further important agendas. Federal NDP candidate Chris Buckely raised the optics issue this week, suggesting a sitting MP “shouldn’t be getting involved like that.” Yet, he also acknowledged that he wrote a letter of endorsement for a candidate in last fall’s municipal election.
The approaches may be different, but the effect is the same. And both are perfectly legal. In the same context, the issue of developer donations to municipal election campaigns throughout Durham Region raises similar questions. But again, there are clear rules in place that govern limits and regulate transparency. Furthermore, donations and campaign expenses are made part of the public record for everyday citizens to peruse as they wish. Whether individual voters -- or candidates -- agree is a matter of conscience. If, as a voter, you oppose donations from developers or those from sitting MPs, you can exercise your authority at the ballot box. These are the rules set out in duly passed legislation. They acknowledge, through the donations process and its regulatory limits, that it costs money to win a seat in government, whether municipal, provincial or federal. It’s not perfect, certainly, but is an established and acknowledged method of raising political funds. Those who choose to make donations must follow the rules that currently exist. If a majority of voters determine that it’s wrong, regardless of what the law says, they’ll have their opportunity to let candidates know what they think come election day.

Friending and following students a no-no for teachers Teachers were put on alert this week when their profession’s regulator issued a rare advisory report recommending they avoid connecting with their students through their personal social media networks. That means no friending on Facebook, no following on Twitter, sharing videos and photos through sites such as YouTube and Flickr, texting or even sharing personal e-mail addresses, says the report from the Ontario College of Teachers. Given that social technology is a big part Reka Szekely of our culture, the report didn’t recommend teachers avoid it altogether. Instead they One teacher even goes so far as to use an old were advised to use the school’s social net- nickname as her Facebook username, as works and e-mail addresses to interact with opposed to her real name, in order to avoid students and to notify parents if they would having to decline Facebook invitations. be interacting with students through social Another uses just her first name and middle media.Above all else, they were advised to name.

Still, even on anonymous profiles the colThe advice seems common sense and among my acquaintances who are teach- lege advises teachers to be transparent and ers, none are friends with their students. disclose their profession and to avoid online
criticism of students, colleagues and their employers.A cursory news search shows there are numerous reports about teachers getting in trouble for content on their Facebook pages or Twitter accounts, ranging from racy photos and videos to unkind comments about the students they teach. In some cases the damaging content was leaked from locked-down private accounts. And those are just the ones reported in the media. I imagine the number of teachers who have been quietly cautioned is even higher. The issue was bound to be addressed at some point. Locally the Durham public school board is working on a social media policy that’s currently at the committee level and expected to come to the board soon. This is likely an issue all school boards across the country will have to tackle. With the recommendations from the Ontario College of Teachers, it seems teachers in general are being held to a higher standard than the general population, but
at the same time their job means they’re in a unique position of trust with students. They’ve always been held to a higher standard of professional conduct because of the influence they have over young lives. In fact, there are other professions that need respectful barriers with the people they serve. Police officers and victims of crime come to mind, as do medical professionals and patients. The problem is that it’s tough to maintain those barriers in our technology-saturated world where the information disseminated about us can come from any number of people with a laptop or a cellphone, and when social networks are such a big part of how we interact with our friends and family, And like teachers who were formally cautioned, all professionals really have just one option with social media: beware. --Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Friday in this space.

“We wanted to get involved in the community, we wanted to help,” she said. Ms. Wilson explains that about 30 members of the church will participate in the event, including members of the church who are professional plumbers, carpenters, electricians and more. “Some are professionals, some are enthusiastic volunteers,” said Ms. Wilson of the participants. She said members of the community simply have to call and they can get a little bit of help for whatever needs to be done around the house, inside or outside, for up to two hours. “It’s spring cleaning time so people may have the lawn to be raked and these muscular young men are here to help,” said Ms. Wilson laughing, adding a number of youth volunteers will also be on hand. The church is part of The Church of God of Prophecy of Canada and Pastor Gilbert Estridge said all member churches are encouraged to get involved in the community.
He points out that the church has done other community work in the past such as partnering with Herizon House, a local shelter. “Sister Wilson seems to always be the one promoting these events and they work really well,” said Pastor Estridge. “We always get good feedback from the community.” The help is offered to people of all faiths, said Ms. Wilson. “Or no faith, it doesn’t matter whether they have faith or not.” To participate, call Pastor Estridge at 905995-2835 by April 28 to schedule a time to for church members to visit.

Smartphone use getting out of control: councillor PICKERING -- A Pickering councillor is tired of his colleagues using their smartphones during public meetings. While the doors entering council chambers have a sign that says no cellphones arepermitted, and a security guard keeps a watchful eye out for DAVID PICKLES offenders in the public gallery, Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles says it’s time councillors start playing by the rules. He says any time he looks down the row of his colleagues, it’s common to see them looking at their phones, possibly checking their e-mails, while members of the public or fellow councillors are talking. “We’ve got to show more courtesy our way,” he said. He plans to bring a motion forward at the council meeting on Monday, April 18 to control their use.

Showing work in weekend show MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Wayne Prisque says he’s been painting “off and on, ever since I was a kid, but mostly off.” The Ajax resident is showing his work in the Ajax Creative Arts 2011 Spring Art Show and Sale. Prisque recalls being a youngster and drawing superheroes on large sheets of butcher paper. He took four years of art in high school, but with getting a job, getting married and raising a family, his art took a back seat. He retired four years ago and has been able to devote much more time to painting. Landscapes are a favourite subject and he likes to go out and take photos that he will transform into acrylic paintings. In his early efforts, Prisque says it was more about painting what he saw in the photograph. However, with experience, he now interprets a scene on the canvas. “I really enjoy realism; I find it very rewarding,” he says. “I haven’t been able to get into abstraction.” But he does mix it up a bit, doing the occasional portrait and varying and experimenting with technique, using a knife at times to apply paint, for example. He joined ACA while living in Pickering and is a regular at the club’s Wednesday and Thursday painting sessions. “I really like the interaction with the other artists and the camaraderie,” Prisque says. “It keeps me motivated.

of help each other out when we need a little help.” He believes an artist should always be striving to improve. Prisque is showing five or six
paintings in the show, all created within the last six months. “Every year I try to put in something new,” he says. Most of his recent paintings
are of scenes in Algonquin Park and the Tobermory area. The ACA show runs April 15 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., April 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and April
17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show and sale is at the Village Community Centre, 22 Sherwood Rd. W. (at Linton Avenue).

PICKERING -- Hitchcock references abound in Wrong Window. Herongate Barn Theatre presents the comedy whodunit’s Canadian premiere to May 21 in Pickering. “The main spoof is on Rear Window but there are several references to other Hitchcock movies,” says Kelly-Anne Moss of Pickering, who plays Midge. She says the William Van Zandt and Jane Milmore play is set in New York City in the summer, where some pretty ordinary people find themselves in some

bours. Having drinks before going out to dinner, they overhear their neighbours engaged in a loud and boisterous argument in an adjacent apartment. “That starts the hilarity,” Moss says. She’s been doing theatre most of her life and comes by it honestly as she grew up in a household where both mom and dad were very involved in theatre. Moss graduated from “a very tough” music theatre performance program at Sheridan College where, in her year, 7,000 people auditioned. She says 42 were accepted and just 18 graduated. Not only was Moss one of the 18, she received the Rosemary Burns Performance Award. Most of her theatre work has been with Herongate. However Moss notes that her father

Madness for Johnson
Smith named OCAA Athlete of the Year
Ajax resident wraps up NCAA career at Long Island
nsmith@durhamregion.com
SUBMITTED PHOTO
AJAX -- Former J. Clarke Richardson Storm and current Long Island Blackbird, Kyle Johnson,
hoisted the NEC tournament championship trophy after his team was victorious, qualifying them for the NCAA March Madness tournament.
talented Tar Heel freshman Harrison Barnes, who figures to be a top NBA prospect next year. “Harrison Barnes is big and very skilled,” said Johnson. “I was very shocked that he was that skilled, playing him in person.” Although Johnson was disappointed with the loss to the Tar Heels he was proud of his accomplishments and how far he has come. “I wasn’t always on the radar like some of the other Canadian prospects,” he said. “I’m one of those guys that put in the work, and people can look back and see I accomplished a lot being a four-year starter for my school, having a chance to win a conference title, and going to the NCAA tournament and actually getting a chance to play a lot.”
Johnson, who is graduating this year, leaves the school with many impressive accolades including scoring more than 1,000 career points, which places him in the top 10 for the school’s all-time scoring list. The former Blackbird is currently training and looking to hire an agent to get a job as a professional basketball player overseas or wherever his talents lead him. He also has aspirations of playing with team Canada in the future. With his journey still incomplete, Johnson hopes to leave a legacy. “I just want to be known as a player that’s hard working, and a winner.” Nathaniel Smith is a co-op student from Durham College
OSHAWA -- The Ontario Colleges Athletic Association has selected Durham College men’s basketball student-athlete Eric Smith as its 2010-11 male athlete of the year. Smith, a third-year forward from Ajax, had a season to remember at Durham. He averaged a double-double in 20 regular-season games, leading the OCAA with 432 points and 206 total rebounds. He scored at least 30 points in a game three times, and surpassed the 1,000-point plateau for his career. In addition to these stellar numbers, Smith was second in the OCAA with 94 free throws and sixth among all players with 56 assists. The law and security student was named the OCAA men’s basketball player of the year for his efforts. Smith earned 11 double-doubles throughout the season, including one in an 84-76 victory over then No. 1 nationallyranked Algonquin in February. It was Algonquin’s only loss during the regular season. In Durham’s final six games, Smith averaged 22 points and 10 rebounds per game. The Lords won five of six games to finish with a regular season record of 15-5, good for second place in the OCAA East and their first berth into the OCAA men’s basketball championship tournament in 12 years. Durham lost to Fanshawe in the OCAA quarterfinals. Smith scored 22 points in a 79-67 loss. Durham hosted the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association men’s basketball championship where the Lords finished in eighth place. Smith once again averaged a double-double with 47 points and 31 rebounds in three games on the national stage. Some of Smith’s other accomplishments in 2010-11 include: OCAA Athlete of the Week; OCAA First-Team All-Star; CCAA AllCanadian. Smith will be honoured as part of the OCAA Hall of Fame ceremony on Wednesday, May 4.

NATHANIEL SMITH
AJAX-- With a majestic shooting stroke and a burning desire to succeed, Kyle Johnson has reason to believe he has a future as a professional basketball player. The former J. Clarke Richardson Storm shooting guard burst onto the scene in high school with his wide array of offensive moves and production to catch the attention of scouts. Looking for more exposure, Johnson transferred to West Hill in Toronto to hone his skills and further develop his game. After his productive tenure in West Hill and consistent summer play for the AAU Toronto Mission, which is a select team for the nation’s top players, Division-I schools in America began making offers to the Toronto native. The sudden attention didn’t faze Johnson, who was looking to pick the right Division-I school. “I played against the best of the best, West Hill is known for basketball and a lot of great players went there like Rowan Barrett and Denham Brown,” he said alluding to the former NBA duo. “We were playing in front of scouts right away so the exposure and attention was really good.” After careful consideration, Johnson took a Division-I offer from Long island University in New York. “They were the one school that showed the most interest and I have so much family in New York,” he said. “I liked being in the city and my cousin ran track in Long Island, so I felt really comfortable with the school.” Johnson went to a school that had struggled throughout the years and posted a 9-21 record the year before he arrived. Along with three other freshmen, Johnson helped turn the program around. This year they won the NEC tournament championship and conference title after posting a 27-5 regular season record. Their stellar play earned them a berth in the NCAA March Madness tournament as the 15th seed. They were pitted against the No. 2 seed North Carolina Tar Heels, and ultimately lost 102-87 to the NCAA powerhouse. Through it all, Johnson was thrilled with the once-in-a-lifetime experience to compete against a program with so much history and potential NBA prospects. “A lot of people dream of going to North Carolina growing up,” he said. “It was great to see how you match up against those guys because they are looked at as one of the top teams in the country.” Johnson was also surprised at the skill level of

OJHL continues to reduce teams BURLINGTON -- For the second consecutive summer, there have been some major changes to the structure of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. At the top of the list is another round of contractions, with three teams being decommissioned, while one other, the Streetsville Derbys, recently merged with the Cobourg Cougars. For the Cougars, it’s the second off-season in a row that they’ve been in the middle of the merging process, having done the same thing about this time last year with the
Bowmanville Eagles. Meanwhile, the three teams that are part of this year’s contraction are the Collingwood Blackhawks, Dixie Beehives and Orangeville Flyers, teams that combined for 33 wins in 150 games last season, 24 of which were earned by Orangeville. With these changes, coupled with the paring down last year, the OJHL has lopped off a quarter of their teams since the end of last season and may not be done, according a source within the league that spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Rumors abound that another team -- possibly the Milton Icehawks -may be on the chopping block. Whether it’s Milton or another organization, further contraction would fall in line with the league’s hope to get down to somewhere in the range of 24 to 26 teams. While details are still emerging regarding the amount of money paid out to owners who put their club’s up for contraction, one source guessed the figure to be in the range of $150,000 per team, to be paid out over a few years.
East End Saints
The number couldn’t be confirmed though, as owners are apparently still in the dark as to what exactly the fees were that were paid out during last year’s round of cuts. The good news for fans in Durham Region, it appears, is that both the Whitby Fury and Pickering Panthers are expected back in the league next season.
Annandale holds its closing banquet on Friday. It is followed by the closing bonspiel which is the annual Men’s Last Chance slated for April 16-17. A maximum of 32 men’s teams play down on the Saturday, and the top teams return on Sunday for the final draws. After the Sunday final game, the ice is turned over to the youth curlers for skating. The Canadian Curling Association announced in March that Winnipeg will stage the 2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings Canadian curling trials, which will determine Canada’s representatives for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. The trials are slated for Dec. 1-8, 2013 in the 15,000-seat MTS Centre. Similar to the 2009 trials in Edmonton, eight men’s
and eight women’s teams will compete in a roundrobin format, and the top three teams qualify for the playoffs. The first-place teams advance directly into the finals, while the second- and third-place teams meet in semifinals, with the winners also moving on to their respective finals. The Ontario champions team of skip Glenn Howard with Pickering resident Richard Hart at vice, and Craig Savill and Brent Laing playing front end, hope to play in Winnipeg. Meanwhile, the last event on their calendar for this season is the 2011 GP Car and Home Players’ championship at the Crystal Centre in Grande Prairie, Alberta from April 12-17. It will feature a separate men’s and women’s draw consisting of the world’s top-16 ranked teams from the 2010-11 season.

Panthers win silver medal
PICKERING -- After missing the OMHA playoffs in the Lakeshore League, the Minor Atom A Pickering Panthers entered the GTHL Pro Hockey Life/King Clancy Tournament as a way to keep the players’ hockey skills strong for the two months until tryouts. The Panthers started this six-week tournament by beating the Cooksville Phantoms 9–2. Their winning ways continued through the round robin with a shutout against the Credit Valley Wolves and victories against the Harborview Huskies, Richmond Hill Stars, Hillcrest Canadiens and Scarborough Ice Raiders. With a tie against the Toronto Penguins and only two losses, the Panthers found themselves in third place with 13 out of a possible 18 points
and a record of 6-2-1. In the quarter-final playoffs, the Panthers faced the Credit Valley Wolves. However, the outcome would not be a shutout, as in their first meeting. This match was forced into overtime with the tilt going to Pickering 4-3 on a goal by Alex Ielo. As the tension built to see who would be their next opponent, the team prepared with practices and the Pickering tournament. Unfortunately, the team as swept at home. The fate of any more hockey wins was based back in the GTHL with a semifinal game against one of the teams the Panthers lost to in the round robin, the Toronto IceDogs. Pickering went down 1-0 in the first period. Hopes went up when a shot from

Ethan McArthur went in at the buzzer to tie things up but the official ruled it no goal. In the second period, McArthur made sure to tie the game, when the IceDogs goalie gloved the puck and it went over the line. Later in the game, Joey Povolo netted the winner, advancing the Panthers to the final against Vaughn. The championship game was excellent hockey but Vaughn went on to win the game 2-0. Pickering ended its 2010/2011 season on a high note with the silver medal. Goaltender Michael McInnis was named Pickering’s MVP for the final game and these players showed that you can finish at the top with determination, desire and a whole lot of heart.

STONES, Ronald C. - After a courageous battle with cancer, Ronald C. Stones passed away peacefully at Sakura House, Woodstock on April 13, 2011. The only son of Charles and Beatrice (Goodridge) Stones, he is predeceased by his parents and sister Margaret (in infancy). Ron is survived by his devoted wife Lynne Magenty, sons Andrew, Vancouver, Fraser and wife Vladimira, Germany, step-daughter Tammy and husband Cam, Scotland. He also leaves behind seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Cheryl and Willie Moses, along with several nieces and nephews. After serving twenty-five years as an Aircraft Artificer in the Royal navy, mostly on the Ark Royal, Ron immigrated to Canada in 1981. He was an aircraft engineer with Messier Dowty until his retirement in November of 2010. Ron was a member of the British Legion, the R.N.A. the Canadian Legions of Ajax and Stratford where he was member of the colour party. His favourite pastimes were sailing and cruising. As per Ron's wishes, there will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Ron's life will be held at the STRATFORD LEGION, Branch #8 on Saturday, April 30, 2011 from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to Sakura House, Woodstock, or the charity of one's choice would be appreciated and may be made through the W.G. YOUNG FUNERAL HOME, 430 Huron Street, Stratford. www.wgyoungfuneralhome.com
