The Durham Catholic and Durham district school boards are above or near the provin- cial average for the percentage of students reaching or exceeding the provincial standard in read- ing, writing, and math, accord- ing to the Education Quality and Accountability Office’s (EQAO) 2007/2008 school board results. The standard is a Level 3 or 4 on EQAO tests - equivalent to a ‘B’ or higher. “It should be heartening to (parents) that their children are receiving the types of programs that meet their needs,” said Lu- igia Ayotte, the public board’s superintendent of programs. In Ajax’s Duffin’s Bay Public School, there’s been some big improvements. Its Grade 3 re- sults went up to 81 per cent in reading from 57 the previous year, 87 from 71 in writing, and 87 from 74 in math. In Grade 6, it fell to 61 per cent from 68 in reading, rose to 58 from 49 in writing, and went from 41 to 36 in math. “We’re thrilled with our results as we always are,” said Andrea Della Torre, Duffin’s Bay princi- pal. “And I credit our staff,” she said. They were a little surprised at the junior math results though. “And concerned,” she said. Staff have already met to dis- cuss the results and when they get more detailed data, they’ll see where students struggled. “Then we’ll have more specif- ic details on which direction to take,” Ms. Della Torre said. The percentage drop could also be a reflection of this year’s smaller math class, she said. Students also made big gains at Bellwood Public School in Whitby.

WHITBY — Suspects caught on security video scooping up cash from an automated teller machine in a Whitby pub are being asked to come forward and surrender their ill-gotten gains to police. Durham police have ar- rested two men in connec- tion with the original theft, but say others took advan- tage of the opportunity cre- ated when someone broke open an ATM inside the Tap and Tankard on Brock Street South in the early morning hours Friday. Two suspects were busted shortly after the machine was breached just after 1 a.m., police said. Mark Kendall, 27, of Sayor Drive in Ajax and 27-year- old Jonathan Branzanti of Medley Lane in Ajax are charged with theft and pos- session of stolen property. Police are reviewing secu- rity tape that shows a num- ber of other people grabbing cash from the broken ATM. They’re urging the culprits to hand over the cash. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905- 579-1520, ext. 1845 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. DURHAM — The num- ber of local General Motors workers who have opted to retire or take advantage of the grow-into-retirement plan has now exceeded the number of jobs expected to be lost by the truck plant closing. CAW Local 222 President Chris Buckley said Tuesday that 2,621 members of the local have chosen to retire or participate in grow-into- retirement, which is a plan offered to workers who have been with GM for 26 or more years. The offer came in July as a result of bargaining after GM announced its inten- tion to shut down the truck plant. As part of the package workers with between 26 and 29 years of GM work will be paid 65 per cent of their wages from the day they leave until they hit 30 years seniority. ATM culprits urged to surrender ill-gotten gains Retirement option a big hit with GM workers THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 18, 2008 PAGE 3 Pdurhamregion.com Kids in crisis can now get help 24/7 New response line a partnership between local agencies By Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Suicidal thoughts and mental health breakdowns don’t always happen during regu- lar business hours, but until re- cently, that was the only time staff were available to monitor local phone lines for children and youth in crisis. Now, thanks to a unique part- nership between agencies, Dur- ham Region has a line available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to help children, youth and their families. Durham Region Crisis Re- sponse was launched Wednesday with the unveiling of two phone numbers, one local and one toll free. Children, youth under 18 or their family members can call if a person under 18 is experiencing a crisis that is not life-threatening, but requires immediate interven- tion. That could include suicidal feelings, depression, anxiety, ag- gression, refusal to go to school or social isolation. “We get such a wide range of calls, it’s nice for the families not to have to try to choose where to call, now that there is just one number,” said Jill Wantola, a clini- cal supervisor with Frontenac Youth Services, one of several agencies working to provide the service. “Most agencies have long waiting lists for children’s mental health services. This way, if there is something that needs immediate intervention, they can get help.” Crisis workers who handle the calls are specially trained to de-es- calate and stabilize the situation, then help the caller developer a crisis management and safety plan. The workers also provide information about mental health services in the community, make referrals and provide advocacy if needed. The new response line is facilitated by Chimo Youth and Family Services, Durham Mental Health Services, Frontenac Youth Services and Kinark Child and Family Services. “A lot of the time, people are just overwhelmed by whatever is going on,” said Frances Harris, crisis ser- vices co-ordinator with Durham Mental Health Services. “They just need someone to talk to.” Statistics from Children’s Mental Health Ontario indicate one out of five children and youth struggle with mental health issues at some time. Durham’s crisis response line can be reached by call 905-666- 0483 or 1-800-742-1890.

Grade 6 results changed from 51 per cent to 69 in reading, 35 to 76 in writing, and down one point to 41 from 42 the previous year. “We were all very excited,” said Karen Smith, Grade 3 teacher at Bellwood. “We took great pride in it as a primary division at Bell- wood that those students were that prepared and able to get that information down onto a paper in that amount of time.” In the public board as a whole, the percentage of Grade 6 stu- dents that met the standard in- creased to 70 per cent from 65 in reading, 68 from 59 in writing, and to 60 from 57 in math. For Grade 6 Catholic students, 73 per cent met the standard in reading, up two percentage points from the previous year; 71 per cent in writing – up four points; and 69 in math, up three points. The public board did a five- year review of the EQAO test re- sults and saw big gains for reading and writing for Grade 3 students. “We made a 12 per cent gain in reading, 13 per cent in writing, and seven in math,” said Ms. Ayotte. In the Dur- ham Dis- trict School Board, the percentage of Grade 3 students meeting or doing better than the standard stayed the same in reading, at 63 per cent, rose four percentage points to 67 in writ- ing, and dropped two points to 67 in math. The Durham Catho- lic District School Board’s results were 67 per cent in reading, 70 in writing, and 75 in math. In Grade 3 reading, the Catho- lic board went down two per- centage points and up one for math. “The results are in line with how we’ve been doing over the past number of years,” said Paul Pulla, the Catholic board’s direc- tor of education. “When you have a plus or minus two per cent, one can say you’re just sustaining the same results,” Mr. Pulla said. “But overall, I think one can say there’s been steady improve- ment,” he said. The provincial average for Grade 3 students is 61 per cent in reading, 66 in writ- ing, and 68 in math. In Grade 6, it’s 66 in reading, 67 in writing, and 61 in math. Grade 9 math numbers rose to 33 from 24 per cent in applied, and from 62 to 68 in academic for the Catholic board. The pub- lic board had 68 per cent meet the standard in academic and 36 per cent in applied. The pro- vincial average is 75 per cent for academic, 34 per cent for ap- plied. 2007-2008 results for local grade schools Public board ‘excited’, Catholic board sees ‘steady improvement’ Catholic school board enrolment down DURHAM — The Catholic school board has less students in its system this year, particularly in the elemen- tary sector. As of Sept. 5, there are 688 students less in elementary schools than last year, while secondary schools have 305 less, bringing the entire system’s total to a 993 reduction, said a staff report presented Sept. 8 to the Dur- ham Catholic District School Board. With the exception of consoli- dated Oshawa schools, there is in- creased enrolment at St. John Bosco, St. Joseph, St. Bridget, St. Leo, St. Jude, Brother Andre, and Mother Teresa Catholic schools, said the re- port. Below is a list of how many less students each area had as of Sept. 5.

Cougs Investment first proposed building 27 estate homes next to Deer Creek Golf Course. The proposal approved by council’s Community Affairs and Planning Committee on Monday has some changes from the 1989 development. The major one is the homes would be hooked up to sani- tary sewers, rather than using septic systems. The homes would be from 2,000 to 3,500 square feet, said Cougs spokesman Ron Halliday. Homes on nearby Buggey Lane, also built by Cougs, are larger, ranging up to about 7,000 sq. ft. Prior to the homes being occupied, Cougs has to ex- tend the Fifth Concession easterly from about Buggey Lane to Audley Road. “Whatever is old is new again. I voted on this when it was first proposed in 1989,” Wards 1 and 2 Regional Coun- cillor Scott Crawford said. Ensuring a variety of hous- ing stock is “appropriate. It’s in keeping with what’s around it. It caters to the elite sec- tor. I supported it in ’89 and I’m happy to support it again,” said Coun. Crawford. The new homes would have frontages ranging from 38 me- tres (124.5 feet) to 85.7 metres (281 feet), and the lots will be almost an acre each. The 27 lots were approved prior to the Greenbelt Plan being set in place by the Prov- ince, so the homes could be built, Ajax planner Geoff Ro- manowski told councillors.

About a quarter of the questions answered by staff at OPG’s kiosk in Bowmanville Mall surround that very question: When are the jobs coming, said Pat McNeil, OPG’s senior vice-president of nuclear generation development. Mr. McNeil said the company will start recruiting operators next year, while some engineers will be brought in later this year to train in existing facilities. That’s despite the fact the first unit at the new site, adjacent to the existing Darlington plant, isn’t likely to be operational until 2018. OPG is currently in the midst of the environmental assessment aimed at getting permission to build up to four new nuclear reac- tors on the site; the current plan is to build two. The Province asked OPG to begin the process. Later it confirmed OPG would be the op- erator which “gives us more impe- tus to move forward,” Mr. McNeil said. Infrastructure Ontario is to make a decision as to what kind of nuclear reactor will be built in early 2009. It’s now down to three vendors: Areva NP, Atomic Energy of Canada and Westinghouse. After one is chosen, “OPG and the vendor will work together to finish the environmental assess- ment,” Mr. McNeil said. It’s anticipated approvals should happen by early 2011, with a site preparation licence to be issued shortly thereafter. Site prepara- tion should take between two and three years; then, construction will take between four-and-a-half and five years, Mr. McNeil said, as he updated Clarington council Mon- day on the project. To build the new reactors, it’s expected about 12 million cubic metres of soil and rock will have to be removed. “That’s about the equivalent of filling the Rogers Centre seven times,” Mr. McNeil said. Now, the company is entering into its fourth round of public con- sultation, with sessions to be held across Durham between Oct. 21 and Nov. 6. More information is available at www.opg.com/newbuild.

On Sept. 22, Durham Regional Health Department and the Pre- natal Coalition of Durham will host the fair. The event runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Regional headquarters, located at 605 Rossland Rd. E. in Whitby. Parking and admission are free. “This is the first time that this very popular event will be held in the evening,” said public health nurse Cathie Logan. “We hope that this will allow individuals who have been un- able to attend in the past an opportunity to visit the fair and take in one of the many displays and workshops offered.” Those attending the fair will get a chance to speak to health professionals and community support people and check out displays and resources. The info is targeted at women in any stage of pregnancy, dads- to-be and couples planning a pregnancy, and new parents. They can participate in work- shops on breastfeeding and what to expect the first week the new baby is home. There will be a focus on the role of the partner during preg- nancy. Over 6.500 people have at- tended prenatal health fairs in Durham since they began in 2002. To obtain prenatal resourc- es or for more information about the prenatal health fair, residents can call the Durham Health Connection Line at 905- 666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729, or visit www.region.durham.on.ca.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 18, 2008 durhamregion.com ‘Gaffs galore abound’ To the editor: Re: ‘Dion wants finance minister fired,’ Sept. 10 News Advertiser. I would like to see the math explaining the Green Shift and its proposed financial advantage. I don’t understand it. Gaffs galore abound: The income trust fiasco triggering death threats to Jim Fla- herty’s family, the misplaced words of our finance minister suggesting that Ontario is NOT a good place to locate a business, the “poop” ad, tasteless to say the least, with many more to come. Hopefully, truth will emerge and focus on the real issues, like the economy and the military. But job creation stands out. This has been a concern for years. Having been involved with the health-care system for decades, I saw the results of an increase in the availability of jobs. My phone rang off the hook; the common thread . . . “I got a job.” So job creation, championed endlessly by the Conservatives, is a solid endeavour. The thought has not been lost on the Lib- erals. To quote Stephane Dion in the News Advertiser: “We’ll cut corporate taxes and that includes small business.” Touche. J. Gordon Neal Whitby I ’ve been on location for the last couple of weeks filming exteriors for Little Mosque on the Prairie. In Regina, to be painfully precise. Regina is fun to say, but not much fun to actually live in. Don’t get me wrong, the people are lovely and extraordinarily friendly. It’s just a cli- matologically punishing place. I’ve only been here, as I say, for a couple of weeks and already I’ve seen heat that was so still and searing even the cicadas were leaving town, hail the size of new potatoes, funnel clouds, wind that makes the mistral look like a breeze and cold you can feel down to your marrow. And this is the nice season. Wintertime, according to the hearty locals, is like Mars with curling rinks. It’s one of the few places in the world where you can die going for a coffee. The Prairies are like that. They’re also staggeringly beautiful. There’s a good rea- son they call Saskatchewan the “Land of the living Sky.” Although in my short experience I think a more apt licence plate motto for this prov- ince might be “Jesus, get inside!” But the people, as I’ve mentioned, are remarkably friendly. A couple of weekends ago, two male friends and I were travel- ling up into the Qu’appelle Valley for some fishing. Along the route, as generally hap- pens with three men in the same vehicle, we stopped for a pee. Men do this not so much because we actually have to go pee, we do it because we can... and it’s fun. Men are secretly in love with the portability of our bladders. Women, not so much. And so, in the middle of hundreds of miles of flat, windswept nowhere, we stopped the pickup truck, wandered a safe heterosexual distance from one another and unzipped. This is another thing that men seem to instinctually do. If you ever have the opportunity to observe men peeing in the wild -- and if you have this opportunity on a regular basis you may want to consider taking up a hobby or seek- ing therapy -- there’s a curious, universally identical ballet that gets played out. Men will, unless they’re looking to get beaten up, automatically and quickly take up positions in relationship to one another that while ensuring a modicum of privacy, also allow them to see the other members of the “peeing party” peripherally. There must be some anthropological reason for this as it occurs all over the globe. Nomads in the Kalahari keep one wary eye on their fellow tribesmen while they hoist up their robes. Bushmen in New Guinea pee with deadly blowguns in their mouths, ever watchful for interlopers get- ting too close. Even Armani-clad business- men in New York, will, if at all possible, never take the urinal directly beside anoth- er man. It’s just not done. There’s a reason why one almost always finds three urinals in a Men’s Room. Rarely two. We need that buffer zone. But I digress... badly. So there we were, peeing on the prairie. When we had done our business, we stood for a moment chatting around the tailgate of the truck. It was then that I noticed a single vehicle approaching down the road. It pulled up alongside us and I was aston- ished to see the lone occupant, a woman, roll the passenger side window down, lean over and ask three men in the middle of nowhere if “We needed any help?” Like I say, the weather out here makes you crazy. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his col- umns. Election candidates need to provide answers to questions on economy I t’s the economy, stupid! That election slogan was made famous in the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign when contender Bill Clinton was able to wrest the White House away from incum- bent George H.W. Bush. Mr. Clinton turned his country’s atten- tion away from a Gulf War win and on to bread and butter issues as the U.S. -- and Canada -- was mired in that early 1990s recession. Fast forward to today and that phrase could well be the important distinctive issue in our current Canadian federal election. In Ontario, certainly, the economy is the major problem with concerns over rising unemployment due to massive job losses in the manufacturing industry. Consider that General Motors has more soon-to-be ex-employees taking buyouts than it does cumulative job cuts and the situation is daunting. Combine those job losses with sky-high gas prices which are having a crippling effect on businesses reliant on transporta- tion and on commuters who must drive to work and you have a difficult situation. In Durham, the Region’s social assis- tance caseload has exploded from 5,757 cases in January 2005 to 7,904 cases in July 2008. That’s an increase of 37 per cent in three and a half years. And it could well get worse. What will the major contenders for your vote do to improve our economic outlook? No doubt there will be promises of investment and tax cuts to stimulate busi- ness growth. But which party has the best plan for Canada’s largest province? It’s worth paying close attention to each party leader as campaign pledges are presented, debated and ultimately acted upon or ignored. What blend of tax cuts mixed with incentives for job creation and push for new businesses do each of the parties possess in their platforms? What specific plans do they have to get Ontario working again at the clip we’ve become accus- tomed to from the early 1990s until this past year or so? How will the leaders reach out to other countries to make trade deals which can be an advantage to our indus- tries? We need answers to these questions because the future prosperity of Ontario, and of Canada, depends on our economic success in an increasingly globalized economy. Going crazy in Regina Neil Crone/ Enter Laughing Durham workers need more hours to qualify for EI than in other parts of Canada By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Region officials pre- dict the number of Ontario Works cases in Durham will continue to rise as a slumping manufacturing sector causes a ripple effect. “Over the past three years, it’s gone up somewhere in the neigh- bourhood of 27 per cent and we’re anticipating it’s going to increase over the next year,” said Paul Cloutier, director of income sup- port for Durham Region. In January 2005, the Region’s so- cial assistance caseload was 5,757. The figure includes Ontario Dis- ability Support Payments as well as Ontario Works and it grew to 7,904 cases by July 2008, a 37-per- cent increase. Between July of 2007 and July of 2008, the Region’s caseload grew by 706, which is an almost 10-per- cent jump. Part of the problem, said Mr. Cloutier, is that only about a quar- ter of Ontarians qualify for Em- ployment Insurance (EI) benefits when they lose their jobs. “When the last recession was here in the early 90s, that was clos- er to 70-to-75 per cent, so there’s been a huge change to how em- ployment insurance is structured,” he said. While GM workers may be cov- ered by EI when they’re laid off, as local residents tighten their belts, other sectors suffer and there’s a ripple effect in job losses. “We start seeing things like cleaning services, the hospitality sector, bars, restaurants, the retail sector, the handyman, the lawn service, all of that becomes the first spending they choose to stop,” said Mr. Cloutier. And, those are some of the sec- tors where employees may not have enough hours to qualify for EI due to the part-time and con- tract nature of the work. When that happens, people look directly to Ontario Works. “The concern is there’s a signifi- cant number of people who may be in employment difficulty who are coming directly to the Region for assistance. In the past, there was an intermediate step and now there may not be for a lot of peo- ple,” said Mr. Cloutier. As it stands, the number of hours a person has to work in a one-year period preceding their unemploy- ment varies from 420 to 700 hours, depending on the regional unem- ployment rate. Currently, in both the Oshawa and Toronto area, a worker would need 665 hours to qualify. In Newfoundland and Labrador, excluding St. John’s, a worker would need 420 hours. There are differences within On- tario as well. In Windsor a worker would need 560 hours, whereas in Ottawa, the same worker would need 700 hours. While EI premiums are paid for by all workers, even those who may not end up qualifying for benefits, and employers, a fifth of social assistance payments come from municipal property taxpay- ers. This year, the Region is budget- ing $57 million for OW payments to Durham residents, $11.4 million of which will come from property taxpayers, with the rest coming from the Province. That’s higher than last year’s $52.5 million. Among those that do qualify for EI, the number of people receiving benefits jumped by 32 per cent in June over the same time last year in the Oshawa census metropoli- tan area, which includes Whitby and Clarington. It’s the highest jump in Canada. And, along with an increasing demand for income support, Mr. Cloutier expects more demand for job search help, retraining, sub- sidized daycare and affordable housing. All this means that the strug- gling auto sector will continue to have a ripple effect in Durham. “tradeability.ca provides employers with simple and easy access to qualifi ed candidates in the skilled trades.

Free celebration will help Pickering ring in 25th anniversary of recreation complex Open is In was written by Audiologist Lila O’Neill, founder of the fi rst Audiology Clinics to dispense hearing aids in Durham Region. Q. What causes tinnitus? A. The causes of tinnitus aren’t completely known and reasons can’t always be found but do need thorough investigation. Treatment of tinnitus depends very much on the cause. Q. What should I do if I have tinnitus? A. When tinnitus is caused by hearing loss, a hearing test can determine if this is the case and whether hearing aids may help. Often hearing aids will sharpen what’s supposed to be heard and end up drowning out or hiding the unwanted sounds. According to PhD Audiologist, Richard Tyler (2006): “Almost everyone would agree that hearing aids, when the patient has substantial hearing loss, can reduce tinnitus suffering.” Written by Audiologist, Lila O’Neill, founder of the fi rst Audiology Clinics to dispense hearing aids in Durham Region: Ajax Pickering Audiology Clinic, Bayly Audiology Services, Whitby Hearing Centre. Q. What is tinnitus or ‘ringing in the ears’? A. Tinnitus is a term derived from the Latin word tinnire, meaning to ring. Tinnitus is a ‘subjective ringing or tingling in the ear that can only be heard by the person experiencing it’. Tinnitus can be described in different ways: humming, buzzing, ringing, clicking, hissing. The noise can be constant or come in short bursts, lasting for long periods of time or just briefl y. The noise can be loud or soft, can change in pitch and can be heard in either one or both ears. Tinnitus can be heard at various times, but mostly when it is quiet like when going to sleep or early in the morning.

Part of this comes from realizing that we’re not alone in how we feel. Recognizing that our feelings and experiences are similar to those of others in the group and the world at large removes feelings of isolation, validates our experiences, and increases our self-esteem, self- confidence and self-worth. Another part of the power of group work comes from experiencing a high level of support, caring, and encouragement. This comes about from the bonding that occurs in a small, facilitated group. While support, caring and encouragement are also given in one-on- one therapy, imagine how the strength and impact are magnified when you receive it from a group of people! In group sessions, people help each other. When we help others, it increases our self-esteem, self worth, and self confidence. So in many ways, in a facilitated group, we get back what we give out. In a cohesive group, members will feel a sense of be- longing, acceptance, and validation. This safe environ- ment allows us to take risks and develop interpersonal skills and coping styles. This will undoubtedly positively impact our relationships at home, at work, in the community, wherever we are inter- acting with others. Another way that group thera- py helps us grow and change is the greater level of self- awareness that comes when we interact with others in the group. We learn through get- ting their feedback on our be- haviour and just by watching the impact of our behaviour on others. This can’t occur in one-on-one therapy. Our in- creased self-awareness pro- vides greater levels of insight into our own behaviour so we begin to understand why we do the things we do. As well as understanding why we react the way we react to others and situa- tions. Maybe more importantly, it helps us create posi- tive changes in ourselves and in our lives.

(NC)-With people spending more time at work and less time with their families, eating a healthy meal can be challenging. Hectic schedules may include trying to get to the gym, transporting kids to and from school and social activities or staying late at the office, so it’s not surprising that ordering a pizza or using a drive-through become real temptations. With conve- nience playing a big part in our everyday food choices, healthy options often fall by the wayside. “As a busy mom, I know the difference between wanting to make a home-cooked meal and actually having the time to do it,” said Sandi Richard, interna- tional best-selling author and host of Fixing Dinner on Food Network. According to Sandi, creating quick and healthy meals, whether it’s for one person or the entire family, is not as difficult or as time-consuming as we think. Here are some of Sandi’s tips for creating healthy meals in a hurry. 1. Keep your pantry and fridge stocked with the essentials. Whether it’s chicken stock, eggs, ground meat, fresh or frozen veggies, brown rice or chicken breast, there are certain items to which we often turn when prepar- ing meals. Your family’s food staples may vary, but having some of these items on hand is the first step in being able to whip up a healthy meal in minutes. 2. Take shortcuts. Let’s face it; most people don’t have time to prepare homemade meals from scratch every day. Preparing a meal for your family at the end of a long day doesn’t have to be a chore. From pre-washed and pre-cut veggies, to shredded cheese or varieties of sauce in a jar, there is a myriad of shortcuts you can take to cut down on prep time and pull together a meal at home without sacrificing taste or nutrition. 3. Get steamy with it. Steam cooking is a quick and easy method for creat- ing fresh and healthy meals. Truly one of the healthiest ways to cook, steaming also enhances the disease- fighting properties in vegetables by increasing their antioxidants. And now you can steam cook foods even in your microwave with easy-to-use steam cooking bags such as Ziploc Zip `n Steam. “I’m always look- ing for helpful ways to get families back to the dinner table, and Ziploc Zip `n Steam cooking bags are definitely one of my favourite finds,” said Sandi. “They combine nutrition benefits of steam cooking with the convenience of your microwave. And what I love most about these bags is that they don’t limit your culinary creativity -- I can change up the sauce or spice, and use a variety fresh or frozen vegetables, seafood or chicken to create healthy and delicious meals.” And if you want to explore the endless possibilities of what you can steam in a bag, check out www.ziploc. ca. There you will find tasty, health-conscious recipes for everything from green beans with sundried toma- toes and almonds (ready in 2 minutes) and Tuscan chicken cannellini (7 minutes), to garlic lemon cod (4 minutes) and a southwestern omelet wrap (2 1/2 minutes).” durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 12 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 18, 2008 SPORTS ✦ E-mail game scores to Al Rivett, arivett@durhamregion.com ✦ Get local 24/7 newsdurhamregion.com Two Durham men hope to find former Pickering teammates for soccer reunion By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Members of a long-defunct recreational soccer team want to get together and remi- nisce one last time. That’s why Rudy Prokop, 80, and friend Trevor Bishop, 73, want to get in touch with members of the Pickering Oldtimers Soccer (POTS) team for a reunion of the 70s league they hope will happen this year. The reunion, however, hinges upon re- sponses from some of the players they’ve long ago lost touch with. “Everyone we’ve called say they’re all for it. The others have spread to all different places. This way maybe they’ll read about it and we can get together. Because soon it will be fini- to,” said Prokop, pointing out that the ravages of time may make a reunion a moot point. The non-competitive Pickering Oldtimers Soccer was started back in 1970 by coaches and the parents of players in the then-fledgling Bay Ridges Soccer Club, which operated at just one field behind Holy Re- deemer Catholic School on Liver- pool Road South at that time. The POTS team was formed with 12 over-35 players and played weekly informal, recreational games against teams from West Rouge and Club Loreley in Oshawa. Team founders included Prokop and Bishop, along with Henry Driesschen, Peter Hup- felt, Bill Bain, Alan Black, the late Derek Smart, Brett Bain and Jim Gurr. “We played basically every team we could play, which were our own age,” said Bishop, who now resides in Uxbridge. By the mid-70s the association ex- panded and played games each Sun- day at Centennial Park in Pickering. There were two Pickering teams by then -- an over-35 squad and an under-35 team. There was even a Cup furnished by Alex Robertson, an area newspaper publisher and town councillor, for a league tournament. Prokop recalled it was always a treat to play the Club Loreley team, made up of Oshawa residents of German heritage. They would bring either cider or beer to the games, to be enjoyed at the conclusion of play. The team, however, disbanded in the late 70s for varying reasons, said Prokop. For him, a change in jobs required that he work weekends, which prevented him from playing soccer. For Bishop, he blew out a knee in a game and retired thereaf- ter. Nearly 40 years later, both Pro- kop and Bishop are looking forward to gathering together their soccer teammates for one last hurrah. Call Prokop at 905-839-3128 or Bishop at 905-852-6580.

Getting the old gang together one last time Too close for comfort for Lady Cougars Notre Dame gets past surprising Pine Ridge Pumas on the court By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — The Pine Ridge Second- ary School Pumas threw a definite scare into the defending Durham Region champion Notre Dame Cath- olic Secondary School Lady Cougars Wednesday afternoon. Coming off a five-game sweep of the Limestone City Tip-Off Tour- nament in Kingston last weekend, the Lady Cougars seemed primed to open their Lake Ontario Second- ary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior girls’ regular season with a bang against the Pumas on home court. Pine Ridge, however, wouldn’t play along. Playing tough, pressure defence, the Pine Ridge squad gave the champs all they could handle, al- though the Lady Cougars were able to close out the game with a strong run in the final quarter for a 34-25 victory to start the season. Don’t get the impression Notre Dame coach Rose Booker was par- ticularly enthused with the play of her team; far from it. “We couldn’t seem to hit a shot. I think it was nerves,” noted Booker following the contest. “(Pine Ridge) is tall, good and fast and they could shoot. We looked tired and flat. I knew Pine Ridge was going to be strong and LOSSA West is strong, too. We played some strong teams in Kingston, so it says a lot about LOSSA this year. Games in the west are going to be a battle. “I thought we would come to- gether a bit better than we did. We seemed very nervous.” For his part, Pumas’ coach Cam Nekkers was more than pleased with his squad’s effort against a strong Notre Dame Club. More impres- sive was the fact his team has had very little court time together, had small numbers of players show up for practises and had no pre-season games to speak of. “We’ve only been practising the last week-and-a-half. We hadn’t played a game and we had only nine players show up for tryouts and we had no offensive scheme. Basical- ly, we were so ill-prepared for this game.” He complimented his players for leaving it all on the floor and nearly knocking off Notre Dame on their home court. “I feel great about the game. Notre Dame is one of the top teams in the area. We played hard. Hopefully we’ll get to see Notre Dame again in the playoffs where anything can happen,” said Nekkers. Notre Dame led 10-4 in the first quarter in a ragged display by both teams, with each committing nu- merous turnovers and missing nu- merous layups in the early going. The Lady Cougars maintained their six-point advantage to lead 17-11 at half time, with the Pumas getting to within a point with 3:28 remaining, only to see Notre Dame close out the half on a 6-1 run. The Pumas continued to play well into the third quarter, going on a 5-0 run to tie the game at 19-19 with 3:20 remaining. A full timeout by Notre Dame, however, seemed to get the Lady Cougars back into their offence as they closed the quarter strongly to lead 27-19. A three-pointer by Notre Dame’s Brianna Thomas with 5:53 left in the fourth quarter gave the Lady Cou- gars a 30-22 lead and seemed to let the air out of the Pine Ridge tires as the Ajax squad cruised through the remainder of the quarter. Nicholle McKenzie scored a game-high 14 for the Lady Cougars, followed by Lindsay Panchan with seven. Whitney Ellenor had 11 for the Pumas.

The Ajax-Pickering minor midgets emerged victorious in the 10-team Ajax-Pickering Raid- ers Early Bird Tournament, com- piling a perfect 6-0 record. In the championship game against Burlington, the Raiders’ Kal Alli broke a scoreless tie in the second period on a pass from Stephen Deeg and Mike Wilkins. Cameron McDavid increased the lead with an outstanding short- handed goal with six minutes to play. Burlington scored its own short-handed goal to narrow the margin, but the Raiders shut the door the rest of the way for the win. McDavid was selected as the game’s most valuable player. The Raiders’ goaltending tan- dem of Connor Wilkinson and Kristoff Lyons was outstanding in net for the weekend, allowing only three goals against in the six games, recording three shutouts, two by Wilkinson and 1 by Lyons. The outstanding work of the defensive corps of James Doer- ing, Corey Helliwell, Ryan Logan, Eric Rizzo, Brennan Serville and Mike Wilkins also contributed to the stingy goals against average. Strong penalty killing by Jordan Minos, Michael Kelly and Ryan Kerr was another factor in the title win. In the semifinal, the Raid- ers met their local rivals Whitby Wildcats. The Raiders trailed 1- 0 entering the third period but stormed back to win 3-1. Alli scored the game winner with an assist to Helliwell. Stephen Deeg, from Corrado Cammisuli, and Ryan Logan got the Raiders on the board. Alex Chiakalis, from Alex Fortin and McDavid, added an empty-net goal to clinch the victory. The Raiders opened the tour- nament with a 3-1 victory over Barrie. McDavid, Wilkins and Chiakalis scored, with assists going to Jake Bannister with two and singles to Logan, Chiakalis and Cammisuli. In Game 2, Wilkinson turned aside all shots for a 2-0 shutout win over Eastern Ontario. Bannis- ter produced a two-point game (a goal and an assist). Chiakalis notched the other goal, with as- sists to Serville and McDavid. In their next round-robin tilt, the Raiders scored a narrow 1- 0 win over Huron-Perth. Lyons recorded the shutout. McDavid’s marker, from Cammisuli and Chiakalis, was all the Raiders needed for the victory. The Raiders closed out round- robin play with a 1-0 victory over Windsor. Wilkinson recorded his second shutout of the tourna- ment. Fortin, from Alli, provided the margin of victory.
