OSHAWA -- Many pregnant women hope for a speedy labour
and delivery -- but there is such a thing as too fast, as Oshawa’s
Katherine and Brian Pilgrim learned last weekend.
Ms. Pilgrim, 37, knew the birth of her fifth child would likely
go quicker than most. But when she woke up to her first con-
traction around 4 a.m. on Aug. 12, she couldn’t have guessed
that her son would make an entrance just 27 minutes later.

Ontario PC party
looking for feedback
from residents
TARA HATHERLY
thatherly@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Christine Elliott, deputy opposi-
tion leader and MPP for Whitby-Oshawa, vis-
ited Ajax Wednesday to discuss the Ontario PC
party’s plans to stimulate the economy and cre-
ate jobs in Ontario.
Ms. Elliott brought her party's Ontario PC Jobs
and Our Economy tour to Scrambles restaurant
on Westney Road South Aug. 15, along with offi-
cial Ajax-Pickering Ontario PC candidate Todd
McCarthy.
“Ontario can reach its full potential and reas-
sert itself as an economic leader in North Amer-
ica, but right now we’re headed in the wrong
direction,” Ms. Elliott said. “Ontario’s current
debt prices and overspending are growing
threats to the Province’s future. Huge debts are
bad for job creation, because they tell entre-
preneurs and potential investors that we can’t
afford the things that make us attractive to
them, like world-leading infrastructure.”
She added credit agencies are also losing con-
fidence in Ontario.
“We’ve had three credit rating downgrades in
the last six months,” she said. “If we get down-
graded (again), and our interest rates for bor-
rowing go up, that’s going to be disastrous.”
Any increase to interest rates would dan-
gerously compound Ontario’s debt load, she
noted.
“We’re in a bad situation now, and it could get
even worse,” she said. “This would be money
robbed from things that Canadians cherish, like
first-class schools and modern hospitals.”
One of the ways the Ontario PC party wants
to decrease debt is through a two-year, across-
the-board public sector wage freeze that it says
would save $2 billion.
Lowering Ontario’s corporate tax rate from
11.5 to 10 per cent is another way the party
hopes to stimulate economic growth.
“It’s about creating an environment where
we’re open for business,” Mr. McCarthy said.
“We want businesses here to grow and employ
more people.”
Ms. Elliot mentioned other provinces are
weathering the economic downturn better than
Ontario.
“We’re really doing something fundamentally
wrong,” she said. “For over five years now, we’ve
had higher than the national average unem-
ployment rates (in Ontario).”
Ontario’s PC party is preparing a white paper
on jobs and the economy that Ms. Elliott said is
expected to be released next month through the
party’s website at www.ontariopc.com.
“It’s a comprehensive look at the factors that
affect job creation and strengthening the econ-
omy,” she said. “We’re looking at policy options
for the next election. The white paper’s real-
ly just meant to stimulate discussion and hear
from people about what they most want.”
Both Ontario PC members said the Province
needs a multi-faceted approach to economic
growth, including increasing its skilled labour
force, clarifying its energy policy and improving
traffic infrastructure.
Mr. McCarthy said his party is already looking
toward the next election, which could come at
any time under Ontario’s current minority Lib-
eral government.
“We’ve started early this time with these tours
-- talking, listening and developing a plan with
input from our citizenry,” he said. “We will have
a plan, and do have a plan that differentiates us
from the other parties, and it’s about empha-
sizing private sector job growth, lowering taxes
and making our economy strong.”

“I knew it would be quick, but that was super
quick,” she said, while cradling the family’s
newest addition Trevor Joseph Pilgrim.
Ms. Pilgrim is no stranger to baby stuff.
As well as being a mother of five -- her other
kids are 13, 10, five and two -- she has worked
as a labour and delivery nurse at Rouge Val-
ley Ajax and Pickering hospital for the past 15
years.
In a fun twist that never fails to entertain
patients, her twin sister Cynthia Loughran is
also a nurse in the same department and the
pair often work side-by-side.
The sisters have eight children between
them and have been there for most of each
other’s deliveries.
They hoped the latest one would be no
exception -- as soon as Ms. Pilgrim called
with the news that she was in labour, her sis-
ter and fellow staff at the Ajax hospital were
on pins and needles waiting for her to arrive.
“We even decorated a room for her with a
Happy Birthday banner,” Ms. Loughran says.
But things moved faster than anyone could
have anticipated.
Minutes after Ms. Pilgrim and her husband
set off from their north Oshawa home, they
knew they weren’t going to make it to Ajax --
or any hospital for that matter.
They called 911 and pulled over in the park-
ing lot at Eastdale Collegiate on Harmony
Road.
“The person on the phone asked how far
apart the contractions were ... I told them,
we’re way past that,” Ms. Pilgrim says with a
laugh.
Trevor was born in the car minutes later at
4:29 a.m.
“If you can believe it, the whole thing was
very calm,” Ms. Pilgrim says. “My experienc-
es from work did help, because emergencies
happen all the time and we have to be calm. I
felt like I could handle it.”
An ambulance arrived minutes later and
whisked them to Ajax, where Ms. Loughran
was waiting in the emergency department.
Five days after his dramatic arrival, Trevor
was doing well and his parents and siblings
were all smiles as they cuddled and played
with him.
“It will be a great story to tell him when he
grows up,” Mr. Pilgrim said.

Province proposes
legislation to freeze
wages, ban strikes
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
TORONTO -- Ontario’s plan to introduce leg-
islation that would freeze teacher wages and
ban strikes and lockouts shows little concern
for Ontario’s educators, says a local union
rep.
“I don’t think (Education Minister Laurel
Broten) is very concerned about the morale
of teachers. It’s a difficult job and teachers are
feeling really demoralized by now,” said Dur-
ham local Elementary Teachers’ Federation
of Ontario president Gerard O’Neill.
Ms. Broten revealed the proposed legisla-
tion Thursday, and on Monday, the Liberals
announced summer recess for the legislature
will end two weeks early for MPPs, calling
them back to work Aug. 27 for a vote on the
bill. The Liberals will need the support of the
Progressive Conservatives or the NDP for the
legislation to go through.
So far, only the Ontario English Catholic
Teachers Association, the Franco-Ontari-
an teachers and a smaller union of support
staff have reached a new contract with the
Province. With little progress at the provin-
cial table, Ms. Broten imposed a Sept. 1 dead-
line for school boards and unions to come up
with a deal.
“Time is running out,” she said Thursday.
“As a government, we cannot sit back.”
The proposed act is modeled after the
tentative agreement signed by the OECTA.
This contract included a wage freeze, three
unpaid days off resulting in a 1.5-per cent pay
decrease, cutting sick days from 20 to 10, and
eliminating the banking of sick days that gave
teachers payouts when they retire.
This would mean continuing investments
in full-day kindergarten, keeping class sizes
small and protecting classroom-specific
funds, Ms. Broten said.
If a new deal is not reached by Sept. 1, the
previous contract will take effect, meaning
wage increases of 5.5 per cent totaling $473
million.
“Come September, we need to ensure
money is in education and not in additional
teachers’ pay,” said Ms. Broten.
Mr. O’Neill believes the government is
focusing on the wrong group of “middle-
class” workers in its attempt to eliminate the
deficit.
“If there is an economic crisis in this prov-
ince, it isn’t the teachers that caused it,” he
said.
The legislation, if approved, would take
effect on Sept. 1, but would give school
boards, teachers and support staff until Dec.
31 to continue collective bargaining. Teach-
ers in any boards that do not meet the legisla-
tion’s standards will have any wage and ben-
efit increases after Sept. 1 clawed back.
To Mr. O’Neill, since the pay increase affects
younger teachers, a reduction will put them
in the position of having a “cheap-paying job.
“We need to attract good jobs, we need to
attract good people,” he said.
Durham’s public elementary teachers
will take a strike vote in September, but Mr.
O’Neill says the school year will start as usual
in the fall.
“At the end of the day, we’re going to be
there,” said Mr. O’Neill. “We have our princi-
ples intact. We’ll be able to look in the mirror
and say we stood up for public education.”
Government House Leader John Milloy
said last week he’s not expecting the legisla-
tion to get an easy ride given that Premier
McGuinty has been able to get only three bills
passed since last October’s election.

Inattentive Durham Region
motorists drive collision rates
Running my way to better health
Don’t tell the attending police officer who
just assigned blame for the fender bender
you’ve been involved in that intersection
design is the problem.
Chances are that you, or the other driver,
are the most likely cause of the collision.
In a special two-part series, Metroland
Media Group Durham Region Division
reporter Reka Szekely examines the top 10
worst intersections in Durham for colli-
sion rates, and the work that is done among
police and roads officials to promote safety
and reduce personal and property damage.
Not surprisingly, speeding and driver
inattentiveness are the primary factors that
contribute to collision rates. Poor driving
practices, combined with high volumes of
traffic, are a recipe for car crashes.
The good news, however, is that among
that hundreds of collisions recorded in
2010 (the year for which most recent sta-
tistics are available from Durham Region),
only 20 per cent resulted in personal injury
in Durham’s urban municipalities.
Of the motor vehicle fatalities recorded by
Durham police, the vast majority occurred
in rural areas, even though none of the
region’s rural intersections made the Top
10.
And it’s not as if these statistics are record-
ed and left to gather dust in some traffic
engineer’s office desk. Durham officials vet
the statistics and look for intersection and
road design issues that might be a contrib-
uting factor in crashes. Regional officials
factor in collision date from police, moni-
tor the severity of collisions and assign
a potential for safety improvement (PSI)
index number to intersections and seg-
ments of road. However, design flaws are
rarely a contributing factor, although active
monitoring of the data helps engineers
make accurate determinations.
As the statistics show, it is the road users
who contribute most frequently to crash-
es. They speed, follow too closely, talk on
handheld devices and generally don’t give
their full attention to what is happening on
the road in front of them, behind them, and
around them.
In the rare case where road design is an
issue -- an unanticipated obstruction affects
line of sight, a lane unexpectedly narrows
or ends -- police and Durham officials can
work effectively together to reduce the risk
and apply retrofits where necessary.
But it is up to drivers -- each and every
one -- to assume the primary responsibility
for safety when on the road. Don’t exceed
speed limits, turn your hand-helds off, leave
room between your vehicle and the one in
front and pay attention.
Sooner or later my knees will stop hurting -- correct?
Several weeks ago, inspired by friends who had taken up run-
ning, I decided to strap on a new pair of shoes and give the pave-
ment another try.
On several occasions over the years I’ve pledged to ‘get in shape’
but success has been fleeting. An unpredictable work schedule
makes it difficult for me to commit to regular classes. I love Pilates,
but when you miss three of six classes due to work commitments it
gets expensive. The gym is a lost cause: all that equipment staring
at me and no one to tell me what to do with it.
I like circuit training because I just have to follow the
instructions and can drop in any time. Thirty minutes in
and out. But when Sisters in Whitby closed I just never got
around to joining another studio.
A friend suggested the Running Room as a door-
way to running so I plunked down a modest amount of
money and decided to Learn to Run.
My Running Room coaches will tell you I’m a
truant. I’ve been to three of 10 possible classes but
that’s OK because I’ve finally found a routine that
works for me.
Monday nights are clinic nights at the Running
Room. Thirty minutes are dedicated to learning
about running followed by a group run. Those are the classes I try
to make a priority.
During the rest of the week I usually run on my own early in the
morning. At 6:30 a.m. I see the same few women walking their dogs,
I count the rabbits in the park and I plan my day all with the help of
some iPhone apps to keep me going.
5K Runner is much like the Running Room approach. This app
uses timed intervals to take you from not running to doing 5K. With
or without ear buds I can follow the instructions of my 5K coach
who tells me when to walk, to run, and when I’m at the halfway
mark for the day.
MapMyRun is a GPS running app that tracks my pace and dis-
tance giving me the incentive to push a little harder to beat my last
time. And what would running be without iTune playlists to inspire
me?
My last run with the Running Room included six intervals of a
three-minute run followed by a one-minute walk. Acting on the
advice of my coach I slowed the pace way down and am proud
to say I had no problem finishing and my knee feels a little better
today.
My goal is 5K, more energy and fewer aches and pains.
I’ll keep you posted.

On Facebook picture posters:
I have a serious issue that needs to be addressed. I can’t stand when I log into Facebook and see someone has
uploaded 30 pictures of themselves either standing in front of a mirror, holding the camera out in front of their face, or doing some dumb pose that resembles a duck face…whatever it is YOU LOOK STUPID. NO ONE cares that you look almost exactly the same in the 30 pictures you just uploaded. If anything it makes you look pathetic that you have nothing else to do. To top it off having multiple albums of the same idiotic photos does not make you more attractive, if anything people are currently laughing at your low levels of self-esteem. This is the real problem plaguing our society, not driving while on the
cell phone.
-- Nick Cholodny
On cellphone drivers:
Drivers on cellphones!!! I was driving home from Ottawa on the last long weekend in heavy traffic; I look over and see this woman playing
with her iPad, holding it in the middle of her her steering wheel. Seriously dangerous driver. -- Jolie Cosman Colangelo
Drivers on cellphones, and driving in Toronto especially the DVP!!! Absolutely moronic drivers.
-- Timothy Jackson
On courtesy:
People who don’t say ‘thank you’. Whether it’s through a ‘wave’ when you let them in to your lane or a nod of appreciation when you hold the door open for them.
-- Jessica Williamson
I like to walk. Especially on these languid August evenings
when the air is redolent with a magical mix of gardens, lawns
and the faintest, playful hint of the fall chill nosing its way
over the horizon.
There’s a quality of light and scent on these nights, almost a
taste really, that instantly transports me back to the summer
evenings of my youth, a time that I am certain is universally
halcyon for those of us with a few rings on our trunks. I
wish I could bottle that scent -- a combination of free-
dom, excitement, laughter and unlimited potential.
I think it’s what hope smells like. It’s intoxicating.
And, like sweet corn, berries and skinny-dipping
weather, it’s terribly fleeting. It’s here and then it’s
gone.
Which is why I am always amazed and not a little
saddened that so few of us seem to be out partaking
of it. I can usually count on one hand the number
of people my dog Owen and I will bump into on
our nightly peregrinations. Even fewer are
‘porch sightings’.
Maybe I watched too many episodes
of The Andy Griffiths Show as a kid
but I have always wanted a porch to
sit out on at night. And for the life of
me I cannot figure out why people
who have them don’t seem to use
them.
I live in a town that is blessed
with some real beauties too. Stately,
graceful porches that are wide and
deep and shaded. Porches that beckon
you, in quiet, latticed whispers, to come
and sit and watch and ponder. Yet night
after picture-perfect night, most of them
sit vacant.
No old men sagely wreathed in aro-
matic pipe smoke, no lovers dreamily
ensconced on swinging chairs, no hus-
bands and wives sitting in familiar com-
fortable silence while sunburnt, played-out children slum-
ber blissfully upstairs.
I know, I know. I sound like the love child of Norman Rock-
well and Garrison Keillor. But that stuff resonates with me. I
think it does with everyone. And there must be a reason for
that.
What I see instead of all of these things is the cold, blue
flicker of television sets behind curtained windows.
That appears to be where most of us are. Instead of
watching the real world outside our very own door-
steps, we are being fed a pale, electronic facsimile.
And I lament that. Ironic, I know, for an individ-
ual who makes his bread and butter in the enter-
tainment industry but I loathe television for all of
these reasons. I don’t mean to throw the baby out
with the bath water, of course. In and amongst the
terabytes of digital pap there are programs of unde-
niably great importance and quality. But let’s face
it, most of what’s on the squawk box is stuff my
dog wouldn’t watch. Television is a mind-
blowingly magical technology but we
are wasting it. It’s like NASA using the
Mars Rover to explore Keswick.
But I digress.
I do have a porch, but it’s terri-
bly small, and not at all shaded.
Were I to sit out there, I’m afraid
I would look more like someone
being punished than an individu-
al enjoying his neighbourhood.
But I will have a big porch
one day. And I will sit out on it at
twilight and watch the world go by
and think about the day and life and my
place in all of it. And yes, I will be remark-
ably square. But remarkably happy.
-- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writers,
saves some of his best lines for this column.
The lure of a good porch beckons

This week’s question: the 134th edition of the Canadian National Exhibition opened
last Friday. Do you go to the CNE every year?
A. Nah. It lost its charm for us many years ago.
B. We don’t go every year, but it’s fun when we do.
C. Absolutely! It’s something we look forward to each year.
A. Making the most of my
remaining days off.
B. Ugh! Preparing for the
back-to-school rush.
C. More fun in the sun. Why
do you have to be like that?
How would you assess Canada’s overall performance at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London?
...On a coronor’s inquiry into
Ornge and the search for a
missing dog ...
Facebook readers weighed in this week on the
news of a coronor’s inquest into some cases
involving the troubled medical evac system. Tanya Fairey-Stack: Wow that’s
awful. I know how hard it is to lose
a loved one and really feel for the
families to possibly think if help
came faster they may still be here
today.
Bill Caukwell: As I recall, the crew
had been out the night before and
had worked an overtime shift
because of it. As a result, they were
grounded by federal regulations.
This is by no means the fault of ORNG other than
by not having enough staff to work 24/7/365. The
system worked as well as it was designed to
because the York chopper was the backup and
was on the crash scene. I may be wrong, but I
don’t think I am.
Leanne McMurtry: That might be
regulations bill, but how would you
feel if it was your relative. The
amount of money that has gone into
this ornge concept is ridiculous. If
the coroners office is doing a review if they are to
blame for the past 6 yrs, you should know that is a
serious problem. My condolences to the family
Facebook readers of our Kristen’s Kritters page
also shared their thoughts on the search for a
missing dog named Carter. Here’s what they had
to say and Kristen’s response on her page...
Denise Hill-Shea: Thanks Kris-
ten! FYI, there were 2 sightings of
Carter in this area last weekend,
so we’re very hopeful that he’ll be
coming home soon!
Kristen’s Kritters: You’re wel-
come, Denise. I really hope you
guys find him safe and sound on
Saturday. If you do, I’ll need some
reunion photos to post!!
Denise Hill-Shea: There was
another sighting this morning in
the same area at 8 a.m. - if anyone
lives close to the area, please take
a drive through & call if spotted!
Thanks!
In the end, Carter was reunited with his grateful
and happy owner.

Volume and congestion
make collisions more likely
Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
Two Durham roads dominate the list of top
10 intersections with the most collisions in
2011, data obtained from Durham police
shows.
According to numbers
obtained from Durham police under an
access to information request, eight of the
10 intersections with the most collisions
last year involved Brock Road in Pickering
and Kingston Road in Ajax and Pickering.
The intersection of the two roads in
Pickering was third on the list with 68 col-
lisions in 2011.
The top spot went to the Salem Road
South and Kingston Road East intersec-
tion in Ajax, which saw 87 collisions, fol-
lowed by Brock Road and Hwy. 401 with
79 collisions.
Combined there were 598 collisions
last year at those 10 intersections. Dur-
ham police report there were almost 10,000 collisions
in Durham last year with about 80 per cent involving
property damage only and no injuries.
The two intersections that didn’t include Brock Road
or Kingston Road were the Brock Street North and
Taunton Road East intersection in Whitby with 51 col-
lisions and the Taunton Road and Simcoe Street inter-
section in Oshawa with 46 collisions. The were ranked
eight and ninth respectively.
Sergeant Shaun Arnott, of the Durham police Traffic
Service Branch, said speed and distracted driving are
the two of the top reasons people get into collisions.
He said he doesn’t like to single out any intersections
as the worst and pointed out that roads with
the most collisions tend to have high traffic
volumes.
“As you see, accidents happen at other than
those intersections, and the injury severity
can be different as well,” he said.
There were no major personal injuries or
fatalities reported at any of the top intersec-
tions last year and the majority of fatalities
in 2011 occurred in rural areas.
No Uxbridge, Scugog, Brock or Claring-
ton roads made the list of top 10 intersec-
tions, but 11 of 20 traffic fatalities occurred
in those municipalities last year.

As the school season starts up, some
parents will be looking for childcare
or afterschool activities their child
can participate in. The facility itself
o ers an aesthetically pleasing
and safe environment. Parents are
encouraged to watch classes in the
spacious glass viewing area without
interrupting students. Durham
Taekwondo/Karate Martial Arts
guarantees a safe, fun and exciting
environment while their students
develop the self-confi dence they
need to succeed. Many parents say
after their child has been taking
classes with Durham Taekwondo
that the child has increased their
self-confi dence, motivation and
desire to excel.
Durham Taekwondo/Karate Martial
Arts o ers their transported Kick Smart
TMAfter School Program for ages 4 to 12
years old. Your child is picked up at their
school and taken to Durham Taekwondo
for one low price, making it easy to
eliminate childcare costs. The program
has been created to enhance the overall
development of your child, and to provide
a productive alternative to childcare at a
lesser cost. This is accomplished through
the combination of certifi ed teachers and
martial artists. The Kick SmartTM program
provides assistance with schoolwork and
is structured so that the students develop
the habit of completing homework daily
as well as participating in regular exercise
through their martial arts curriculum. There

Parent Testimonial
Words can’t convey how indebted we are to
Karen Davies Thomas and her two studios;
Interplay and PSB. We came to her through old
fashioned computer research after having been
told we needed to “fi nd teachers with credentials
and experience” in order to get the hours and
quality of instruction my daughter needed. After
consulting the internet, one name came up
repeatedly: “Karen Davies Thomas”. I asked those
in the dance business if they had heard of her and
was she recommended? Not only did everyone
light up at the mention of her name, but she was
universally heralded as “one of the best”. I write
this because I would like to add my voice to
this chorus to help anyone looking for a studio,
whether for professional or recreational reasons.
I’ve come to understand that dance is built on solid
a technical foundation and “Miss Karen’s” sta are
the best in the business. The studios are state of
the art and spacious. From Mr. John Ottmann, to
the rest of her impeccably chosen faculty, one
can be assured that a solid technical foundation
will occur and will instill in the student a love of
all that is dance, art and discipline. This one year
at PSB/Interplay transformed my daughter from
one who had been poorly taught and bullied at a
local comp studio to a blossoming young dancer
who dances with joy and passion again - with the
technique to boot! She loved it all - the ballet,
jazz, modern and contemporary/lyrical.
We were so happy when she was accepted into
National Ballet School this year and the NBS
noted we did well having her train here. We
LOVE Karen Davies Thomas, this studio, the sta
and the students and families associated with
PSB/Interplay. If you are looking for an excellent
studio, look no further!
Alumni Testimonial
“My mother enrolled me at P.S.B. Dance Academy
when I was 8 years old. I had already been dancing
for about 4 years and had tried programs at two
other dance studios in the area. My love for dance,
particularly ballet, was already very apparent and
we were attracted to P.S.B., because the director,
Karen Davies Thomas, seemed to o er superior
training and an obvious passion for teaching the
importance of ballet technique. I trained at P.S.B.
until I was 18 years old.
Not only did I receive the outstanding ballet
instruction that I had originally enrolled for, I
was exposed to and trained in all types of dance;
di erent jazz styles, contemporary, tap, hip hop,
acro, modern, lyrical, musical theatre, pointe,
character and national dance. In addition to the
program, there is the opportunity to be a part of
the Profi le Dance Company - a group of dancers
ranging in age, who want to further explore
dance styles and choreography. We performed
at retirement homes, galas, elementary schools,
weddings and annual Nutcracker performances.
Although in my younger years, I had been a fairly
shy child, performing with the Profi le Dance
Company helped me discover and cultivate an
amazing passion and love for performance.
I also joined the P.S.B. competitive team and we
competed across Ontario. I loved the competition
aspect but particularly enjoyed how emphasis
was equally placed on performance. Our year-
end recitals always displayed and showcased the
technique, maturity and professionalism we were
being taught through ‘Miss Karen’ and the other
teachers at the school. In addition, P.S.B. provided
me with other opportunities - completing my
Cecchetti and R.A.D. ballet examinations, doing
a variety of auditions, international competitions
and a trip to Marseille, France where we
participated in a rigorous dance program directed
by prestigious teachers and choreographers.
Being a student at P.S.B. has enriched my life
to immeasurable lengths. I learned about
dedication, imagination, humility, respect,
confi dence and pursuing my passion. I am now 22
years old and a professional free-lance dancer and
honoured to be a teacher and choreographer at
P.S.B. Dance Academy and its’ sister school, Interplay
School of Dance. My training has enabled me to be
a well-rounded dancer performing a wide variety of
dance styles and shows. I’m currently performing with
two contemporary ballet companies; ProArte Danza,
in Toronto, and Compagnie Flak in Montreal. I work
for many independent choreographers as well and
have performed at the Elgin Theatre, the Harborfront
Centre and Kroener Hall to name a few. I am proud
and thankful to say that my experience at P.S.B. Dance
Academy has shaped me into the artist, teacher,
choreographer, and person I am today”

“I love to listen to the
parents as they drop
o their children at
the dance studio.
They almost always
say, Bye, have fun!
From the 3 year
olds in Creative
Dance to the
senior competitive
team members –
our dancers are
encouraged to
ENJOY their classes.
Even when they are
working so hard the
sweat is dripping o their
nose – it should still be fun!
Even our famous dancing
dads have fun!”
“From almost the moment they
can stand, children begin to
wiggle and dance to express
themselves (girls and boys,
I might add!). Sometimes
still on their hands
and knees they will
rock back and forth
to music. That instinctive, natural
love for dance is what we as dance
teachers should be nurturing and
encouraging. Good technique does
not develop in a day or a month. We
believe that if a child has a pleasant
experience at a dance class, that
child will leave the class happy
and looking forward to returning.
Good attendance and enjoyment
of the class is the fi rst step to good
technique! If that child enjoys dance
class all year long, and has a great
time at the Recital, not only will they
be excited to return in September,
they usually also want to take more
classes and develop even stronger
technique! One day you turn around
and realize that those “children”
have become confi dent, outgoing,
talented, well-rounded young
dancers,” says Terri Robitaille.
“The Dance Experience has been
raising happy, healthy dancers for
over 20 years.” They o er classes
in BALLET, JAZZ, TAP, HIP HOP,
MUSICAL THEATRE, ACRO AND
CREATIVE MOVEMENT. They o er
classes for beginner to advanced
dancers, both at a recreational and a
competitive level, as well as optional
Ballet exams. All classes o ered for
students six years and younger are
taught by studio owner and director
Terri Robitaille, who holds a Bachelor
of Fine Arts degree with a major in
Dance (Education and Performance)
and who has been specializing in
the teaching of young children for
over 25 years. All of their teachers
are experts in their specifi c fi elds of
dance and have a strong love of both
children and dance education. Our
small class sizes enable our teachers
to provide personal attention and
quality training to each individual
student.
They feature one beautiful year-end
recital where every dancer has the
chance to shine on stage! Routines are
all age appropriate and entertaining
and audiences are always more than
impressed! Costumes are also always
appropriate and reasonably priced -
based on quality dancewear that can
be worn all year.
Classes are also very reasonably
priced and generous discounts are
o ered for families. There are no
registration fees or administration
fees ever, and the payments are
divided into fi ve installments per
year. As an example, an hour-long
“Dance Beginners” class for fi ve year
olds is only $75 every six weeks.
“We invite you to visit our website at
www.danceexperience.ca for more
information, or contact Terri at 905-686-
8335 or terri@danceexperience.ca.”
“Wherever you dance, we sincerely
wish you a very happy Dance
Experience!”

child to be part of. The studio o ers
quality classes in Ballet, Jazz, Tap,
Acro, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Pre-
ballet, Combination classes, Musical
Theatre and Lyrical. For the Adults –

only as good as its teachers and the
DLDA has some of the most creative
and capable teachers in the business.
Recreational or serious, all classes are
taught by experienced, fully qualifi ed
teachers who believe that every
student in class is important.
DLDA kicked o the new season with an
exciting “Dance Intensive” o ering the students
new and exciting dance forms. DLDA’s
Summer Dance Intensive runs every summer
where you can have the opportunity to work
with top choreographers and learn cutting
edge choreography.
Classes starting in September are suitable
for the recreational dancer or the serious
competitive dancer, age three through to
adult, beginner to advanced. There is no
registration fee to sign up. You just pay for
your fi rst eight weeks of classes. The season
runs September through to June and ends

The DLDA recitals are conducted with the
utmost of organization by the faculty so the

wonderful dance recital to be seen. You will
be thrilled and delighted watching your child

sight of today’s economy by keeping classes

o ering family discounts and easy to handle
eight week payments.
The competitive team boasts of wonderfully
successful competitive seasons year after
year. The past season was no exception
with our dancers returning home with
many overall awards of excellence with
the highest mark of the competition
being won by the senior troupe and the
choreographers award was presented
to the DLDA teachers 4 times. The
competitive team proudly supported the
community by performing for “Art Fest” for
two senior citizen homes during the
year and ran an anti-bullying campaign.
The entire studio took part in collecting
Christmas presents and donating them
to “Children’s Aid”. DLDA has expanded
their Pre-Competitive Team. Perfect for
those dancers who would like to compete
but with slightly less of a commitment
than what is needed for the main
stream competitive team. Many
of our competitive dancers have
gone onto very successful careers

At Jacqueline’s School of Dance, we
know how important after-school
activities are for all children.
Extra-curricular activities assist
our youth in the development
of a wide variety of life skills:
social development, cooperation &
team work, discipline while having
fun, and the importance of staying
physically active. We proudly instill
these values at our studio, a happy
second home to dancers of all ages
and ability levels.
Our dancers start their journey in the
Primary Program. Classes for our 3-6 year
olds were designed by Jacqueline Willis
and are based in extensive knowledge
of Early Childhood Education, Dance,
and being a mother. These interactive
and exciting classes keep our youngest
dancers engaged and active and our
combo classes exposes dancers to three
disciplines (jazz, tap, ballet) in one class
session. After our year-end showcase,
one of our primary parents said, “I just
want to say how much we enjoyed the
nal concert. My whole family (16 of us!)
were so thrilled at the routines and the
choice of music for the dances. It was so
nice to be able to watch a show and see
great dancing.”
We also are proud of our Recreational
Program for dancers of all ages. We
o er classes in all styles of dance, with
contemporary and pointe beginning as
they reach their teenage years. Whether it
is musical theatre, ballet, tap, or all three,
dancers nd a welcoming home at JSOD.
We encourage everyone, regardless of
level, to always challenge themselves to
be the best they can be. Our recreational
dancers have the opportunity to participate
in examinations and are the shining stars of
our year end recitals.
JSOD is also home to a newly developed Part-
Time Competitive Program, for the advanced
recreational dancer who enjoys dancing and
wants to take it to the next level without a
huge time commitment. These dancers take
class and compete in jazz, musical theatre,
acro, and contemporary. Although this
program welcomes students of all ages, it is an
open door for dancers who decide to take up
dance seriously in their teens. Our Part-Time
dancers attend competitions with our Full-
Time team and compete against teams who
train similarly. One of our current students
in this program wrote to us saying, “this has
been excellent for me to both improve my
technique and get the chance to perform
multiple times throughout the year...it has
allowed me to be able to explore many dance
genres, while keeping a limited number of
hours per week. I love my time at the studio
and all of the opportunities the Part-Time
program has given me.”
Finally, our Full-Time Competitive Program
is for the student who wants to make dance
their main activity. We are home to groups in
every age range and are proud of our studio
productions, which involve the entire team.
These dancers develop self-con dence,
discipline, and an understanding of what
it means to be a team player. We strive to
make sure our competitive students are well-
rounded dancers with a keen understanding
of their bodies, technique, and creativity.
This past season, our team attended ve
competitions and brought home over 200
overall and special awards. JSOD’s teachers are
trained in the Paula Morgan Technique. This
technique helps our sta to individualize their
teaching method for each student according
to their body. We believe that as more dancers
of various shapes and sizes begin to take
dance more seriously, we need to be equipped
with the knowledge to help our dancers build
strong, healthy bodies without injury. Since
establishing this technique within the studio,
we have watched our dancers grow stronger
and more con dent. The sky is the limit for our
students!
We make it a priority to develop a speci c
program for each dancer that walks through
our doors. We work to ensure that our students
and parents are comfortable and con dent
that the training they are receiving is ful lling
their expectations. Whether your intention is
to pursue a career as a dancer, or simply to
stay active and have fun, JSOD has a place for
you and your family!

Memories made at Durham Dance Centre
While the memory of my fi rst dance
class has long since faded, as many
things of value do, into a hazy memory,
covered in layer of dust, untouched
for the past 15 years. This void in my
brain has since been replaced by
thousands of new memories, most of
which are tied back to Durham Dance
Centre. DDC has been a place for me
to express, impress, and escape the
world, for 15 years. Over the past 20
years it has been a place for hundreds
of students to call home.
It has hosted some of North America’s most
amazing dancers and choreographers both
as students and guest teachers, and has been
a place of inspiration to many. Personally,
dance has taught me self-confidence, self-
discipline, and self-worth. It has shown me
that I am much better than I think and braver
than I seem. It has taught me much more
than my mother had ever imagined when she
first signed me up at Durham Dance Centre.
Her goal for me was to gain coordination
and make new friends but little did she know
that the decision to enroll me at Durham
Dance Centre would end up shaping the
person that I have become. The person that I
have grown to love. There are a multitude of
studios surrounding the Durham region and
the talent at each is undoubtedly striking,
but the one thing that my mother, amongst
many, found captivating at DDC is the heart.
The whole studio works as a unit. It doesn’t
matter if you’re old or young, competitive or
recreational, girl or boy, we are all a family.
Everyone supports each other, helps each
other and loves each other. At competitions
the crowd is always filled with dancers
cheering on every routine. At adjudication,
the dancers always support each other no
matter who takes first place. Even the year-
end recital is full of too much love to contain.
There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when my
company was bidding their final goodbyes
this past June.
Having tangible evidence that people will
miss your presence and solidifying the bond
that we have made is something that I’ll
never forget. I had no idea that on my first
day of dance, standing timidly in my new
pink tights and bodysuit, that the girls and
boys in my class would later turn into some
of the most important people in my life. I had
no idea that my teacher would become less
of a metronome to my steps and more of a
mentor, second mother, and friend. Tammy
Roberts, my first and last dance teacher, is a
role model to all of the students, parents and
colleagues. She will always push you to reach
your full potential and never lets you give
up. Having her as a teacher has made me a
stronger and more confident individual and
I owe her a great deal, although she would
never truly let me repay her. The studio is filled
to the brim with phenomenal teachers, some
of whom were taught at DDC themselves,
who provide their dancers with a great deal
of knowledge and fun. There is truly never
a dull moment. These past 15 years at DDC
have helped me organize my priorities
and understand what truly matters
in this world. It’s not about winning
awards (which we do), or being taught
by renowned choreographers (which we
are), it’s about heart. It’s about kindness
and unity and being a part of something
bigger than yourself. And that’s exactly
what you find at Durham Dance
Centre.
They o er classes in Tap,
Jazz, Ballet, Pointe, Acro,
Lyrical, Hip Hop, Musical
Theatre, Kinderdance, Stretch,
Zumba, and Mom & Tot. For more
information she invites you to
visit Durham Dance Centre at the
Pickering Town Centre registration
booth on August 24th and 25th.

...that’s right, that’s the contact information
for DANCE INC.; and you won’t want to
wait too long to contact them to fi nd out
what all the hype is about!
Five Voted Durham’s No. 1 Dance Studio, for
2011/12, there’s no doubt that DANCE INC.
is aptly named...it’s all about the love and
celebration of dance here at this 8000 sq. ft.
state of the art facility in Ajax...DANCE INC.
As a new family to Dance Inc., we noticed as we
drove in, dancer silhouettes adorning windows,
music wafting from the doors, and students
anxiously awaiting their summer classes. It
was a Tuesday in August when we entered the
sparkling clean studio, and quite frankly, we
were surprised to see that the business was a
hub of activity in what is traditionally dances
o season. But at Dance Inc., they’re dancing
24/7; 12 months a year...ALL AGES, BOYS, GIRLS
AND THEIR PARENTS. They o er a full range of
classes aiming to o er something for every age
group, including, Recreational, Competitive,
Adult, Boys Only and “Mini Me” Mom and Infant
classes. They’re leading the industry, o ering
full and part time competitive
programs, inspiring summer classes,
THE BAD BOYZ OF DANCE INC. (their
All Boys Fitness and Hip hop Classes),
themed summer day camps and a full
roster of classes starting SATURDAY
SEPTEMBER 8th! The Primary Program
(ages 2.5 to 7) introduce classes geared
to generate enthusiasm among their
young proteges, like Mini Movers,
Funkey Monkey, Tutu Cute & Tumble
Tots for young dancers who are
curious about dance and all it has to o er. Their
Recreational Dance Program o ers a variety of
levels and classes in each discipline ensuring
that there is a dance challenge awaiting each
of their students from the age of 7 to adult. The
faculty of encouraging and committed dance
professionals are invested in making each
students experience a positive one in the studio
and out. Along with this inspiring faculty their
well-organized, top notch, administrative team
leave you feeling informed, updated and sure
you made the right choice in choosing DANCE
INC. It appears that this studio truly is “DANCE
INCORPORATED”, with innovation and creativity
in dance professionalism being their mandate
as they pro-actively lead
the dance industry.
After interviewing
the Owners and
Directors of
Dance Inc,
Breanne and Je Wong, it’s clear that
this studio’s reputation for inspiring
one child at a time in the love of dance
and their unique approach to the art
form starts with the young couple.
Entering their 7th year of operation,
and their 2nd year in their new
facility, the couple are clearly excited
about the impact they’ve had here in
Durham. “We’re defi nitely proud of our
accomplishments and the positive word
of mouth of our clientele,” says Je . “We
want to be known as the studio that
sets the standard for dance technique,
o ering new and creative instruction in a family
friendly environment where each student
can be the best that they can be.” “We dance
to express not to impress here at Dance Inc.”
says Breanne, and after having been active in
the dance industry for over 20 years each, we
know we can o er our dancers highly e ective
instruction and motivation as well as some
real world dance experience and advice to
those who want to pursue the dance industry
professionally.”
They may dance to express, but
impress they certainly do
at DANCE INC.
We were wowed by
the positive vibe
of the studio,
the helpfulness of their sta , and the smiles
on the faces of their young students...we saw
lessons in progress in each of their 4 studios via
the lobby’s STUDIOCAM and watched videos
of their ANNUAL sold out year end show.
Dance Inc. swag dancewear, was available for
purchase and their price points for classes are
highly competitive and are quoted on their
informative website. Free trial classes can
be taken during DANCE INC.’S OPEN HOUSE
August 28 to 30th and you can speak to the
DANCE INC. team at the Pickering Town Centre
during the Registration show Aug 24th and
25th. All in all, it seems that DANCE INC. has
adopted an innovative approach and brought
many fresh ideas to the art of dance. Don’t wait,
contact them now, classes are fi lling up fast and
you don’t want to miss out on the opportunity
to become a part of the DANCE INC. family.

Games Watch
Gold medal for
Slavin, Gerlings
PICKERING -- Two girls from Pickering are
wearing gold medals for women’s field hock-
ey from the 2012 Ontario Summer Games.
Mikhaela Slavin, 16, and Leesa Gerlings, 15,
were members of the Under 16 GTA Central
team that beat Central West in the final game
on Sunday at Lamport Stadium in Toronto.
Both play field hockey for Pickering High
School and made the GTA team when try-
outs were held in July. With only three prac-
tices under their belt prior to the Games, GTA
beat Ontario West 10-0, Central West 7-1 and
Ontario East 6-0, before meeting Central
West in the final. GTA was undefeated within
the six-team championship.
Although GTA had beaten Central West
easily in the previous game, the final was
very even with Central West taking a 1-0 lead
heading into the second half. With close to
five minutes to go, GTA tied the game result-
ing in a shootout to determine the winner,
which GTA won 3-2.
Gerlings said hard work resulted in the
win.
“I think we played really well. We really
knew we wanted to win gold so we pushed as
hard as we could to the end.”
Both Pickering girls are fairly new to field
hockey, having learned the game under their
high school coach, Kelly Sadowski, who took
the team to OFSAA last year. Over the sum-
mer, both girls honed their skills with the
Toronto Titans, a club that practices out of
Scarborough.
“Most of the girls on the GTA team have
been playing since they were young kids and
for a few of them, it was their third Summer
Games,” said Slavin. “But they had never won
gold before at the Games so they were just as
excited as we were.”
Sadowski was there on Saturday to cheer
on her two players.
“I’m so proud of my two girls and for being
a part of the win on Sunday. Playing field
hockey over the summer and in this cham-
pionship will bring more experience to the
Pickering team this year and help us reach
our goal of winning OFSAA this year.”
Silver from the
summer added to
bronze from winter
at Ontario Games
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Winning a bronze medal at
the Ontario Winter Games wasn’t enough
for Jamie Ernst.
She went out and did one better at the
Ontario Summer Games.
The Pickering teen has added a couple
of new medals to her collection, first win-
ning bronze at the rink in women’s hock-
ey in Collingwood in March, followed by
capturing silver on the diamond this past
weekend in Toronto in softball.
The two offered much different experi-
ences, with a group of individuals thrown
together to comprise a hockey team in the
winter, while it was her Mississauga North
Tigers 97 team that competed under the
sun this past weekend.
“You had to meet new girls,” at the Win-
ter Games and it was a little more isolat-
ed, she says. “You had to come together
as a team. It was a different environment
because at the summer games you go with
your team. You already know everybody.”
Her ball team had to take the long road
to the medal round after dropping a 7-1
decision to Windsor in the opening game
of the double knockout format. With no
room for error the rest of the way, her Mis-
sissauga team pulled together to make a
lengthy run.
“There were a couple of returning play-
ers that spoke and said, ‘We need to pick
it up. We can do better than that.’ I think
everyone knew we were a better team
than what we showed and we could beat
any team in that tournament so we had to
come out and play,” she says.
The string of wins included beating Mil-
verton 3-0, Brampton 5-1, Guelph 4-0 and
Oakridges 7-3. The run ended in the gold
medal game, edged by the narrowest of
margins, 1-0, by Brantford.
A centre fielder, Ernst spends much of
the summer travelling to the States to play
in showcase tournaments as part of the
Tigers, who earned the right to enter the
Summer Games after finishing among the
top eight at provincials. They also entered
the spectacle as one of the youngest teams,
comprised solely of players born in 1997,
while other teams had a mix of 1996 and
1997 players on the roster.
The silver compliments the bronze the
Grade 10 student at Pickering High School
won at the conclusion of the hockey sea-
son. A goalie who helped her high school
team win the LOSSA championship and
the consolation title at the OFSAA provin-
cial championships, Ernst was one of 431
players who attended selection camps.
That number was whittled down to 160
players born in 1997 or 1998 from 84 com-
munities, who were divided into eight
teams for the Ontario Winter Games.
Winning bronze served as a sense of
accomplishment as the team didn’t get off
to the best of starts.
“We won a really big game to even get
us to the bronze medal game, so we were
happy because we didn’t do as well in the
round robin,” says the 15 year old.
No sooner did Ernst take her spikes off
and leave the ball diamond on the week-
end and she was home getting her skates
ready for a goalie camp in Whitby this
week. She realizes that at some point she
will have to pick one sport over the other.
“I’m definitely going to have to make a
decision at some point,” she acknowledg-
es. “Right now I have no clue what that
might be. I love both of them. It depends
on what opportunities come my way.”
The sports continue to overlap, with
baseball tryouts for next season coming
up, as is the start to hockey with the Dur-
ham West Lightning Midget AA team.

Young players
impress for Panthers
Sabrina byrneS / Metroland
AJAX -- Aiden Wallace of the Pickering Panthers moves the puck up the ice during
an exhibition game against Stouffville on Friday at the Ajax Community Centre.
GM/head coach
Mike Galati liked what
he saw despite losses
brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Perched high above the ice
for a better vantage point, Pickering Pan-
thers GM/head coach Mike Galati liked
what he saw, despite coming out on the
losing end each time.
Icing lineups for exhibition games laden
with rookies, the Panthers came up short
in a home-and-home with Stouffville, los-
ing 7-3 Friday and 6-2 Sunday, and sand-
wiched in between on Saturday was a 6-5
overtime loss to St. Michael’s.
The end result wasn’t what Galati was
evaluating, opting to concentrate on the
individual play of young prospects hoping
to crack the final roster.
“I thought we did well,” said Galati of his
overall impression. “The majority of the
kids were kids trying out. On Saturday they
put in a great effort.”
The Panthers led Saturday’s game against
St. Michael’s 5-4, surrendering the tying
goal in the final 15 seconds and another in
overtime to take the loss.
“I’m pretty happy with the young guys we
had at camp. It was a good weekend for us,”
added Galati.
He met a couple of objectives, giving
everyone in camp a couple of games to
prove their worth, and then paring the
numbers down following Monday’s prac-
tice, releasing 15 players.
Among those who stood out on the week-
end was Landon Schiller, a ninth round
selection of the Sault Ste. Marie Grey-
hounds in the 2011 OHL draft.
“He’s been great,” praised Galati. “He’s
only a kid, but we’ll expect him to have a
pretty good year.”
Others who caught his eye were Cam
Palmer, who had a pair of goals in Friday’s
loss, Brodie Tutton, who played in the
league last season with Kingston, and Tan-
ner Bull, who was with the Panthers last
season.
In goal, Eric Pitcher and Elan Baker will
compete for the backup role to Spencer
Bacon.
Galati also expects to land a couple of
more players through the trade route, hop-
ing to have the paperwork finalized and
approved by the end of the week or early
next.
With 30 skaters left, the Panthers have
another busy weekend with three games
in five days, starting Thursday with a home
game against the Toronto Jr. Canadiens at 7
p.m., hooking up again with the Canadiens
in Toronto on Sunday afternoon. Monday,
the Panthers host St. Michael’s at 7:30 p.m.
Both home games will be held at the Ajax
Community Centre until the Panthers shift
into their home rink in Pickering following
Labour Day.
Galati expects to work some of the vet-
erans into the lineup over the next three
games. Following Monday’s game against
St. Michael’s, he will be making another
round of releases, reducing the roster to
23.
Fourth-
place finish
for Ajax’s
Campbell
GURABO, PUERTO RICO -- It was mission
accomplished in one sense for Taijah Camp-
bell and the Canadian U18 women’s basket-
ball team.
Competing at the FIBA Americas cham-
pionship in Gurabo, Puerto Rico from Aug.
15-19, Canada failed to earn a medal, falling
in the bronze game to Argentina 53-49. With
the game tied heading into the fourth, Argen-
tina pulled through in the end by limiting
Canada to only four points in the final frame.
Despite the loss, Canada was still able to
qualify for next year’s FIBA U19 world cham-
pionship for women in Lithuania by reaching
the semifinals. This marks the fifth consecu-
tive time Canada has qualified for the FIBA
U19 world championship for women.
Campbell, a six-foot-two graduate of
Pickering High School, who will be on schol-
arship at Virginia Tech beginning in the fall,
contributed five points, three rebounds and
one assist in the bronze medal game.
From the tip, Canada stormed out of the
gates and was able to quickly go up 17-4,
but the tables turned in the second frame, as
Argentina found its rhythm and began chip-
ping away at the Canadian lead. In the final
five minutes of the half, Argentina was able to
go on a 17-2 run, capped off by a pair of late
free-throws to give Argentina the 34-32 edge
at the half.
In the third quarter the lead never got larg-
er than four points in the frame. Argentina hit
a jumper with under a minute to go, to tie the
game at 45-45.
In the pivotal final frame Canada was only
able to muster four points, while Argentina
doubled Canada’s output to win the bronze
medal, 53-49.

Marching in
TORONTO -- Ajax soccer players, from left, Michel Martinez, Jacob Sooklal and Dayne
St. Clair, marched during the opening ceremony for the Ontario Summer Games at
Varsity Stadium in downtown Toronto on Aug. 16. The 2012 Ontario Summer Games
was held from Aug. 16-19 in Toronto and brought together almost 2,500 athletes com-
peting in 28 sports in multiple venues across the city and surrounding regions. The
Games are a unique opportunity for many young athletes, as the multi-sport compe-
tition serves as a stepping stone to many national and international events.
Warriors ready
Orangeville gets bye
to final, Whitby faces
Coquitlam in semis
of Minto Cup lacrosse
ShAwn CAyley
scayley@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- Last night was another chance
for the Whitby Warriors to get better.
However, tonight is a different story.
They will have to be at their best with
their season on the line.
The Warriors closed out the round
robin portion of the Minto Cup last night
against the Coquitlam Adanacs in what
essentially amounted to a meaningless
game between the two finalists from last
year’s tournament.
Tonight the same two clubs hit the floor
again with the winner advancing to the
final, where they will face the Orangeville
Northmen.
Orangeville earned the bye after wins
against Whitby and Coquitlam, while
they played out the round robin string
Tuesday night as well against the Calgary
Mountaineers.
Now, while the Warriors would certain-
ly have taken the bye into the weekend
best-of-three final, coach Derek Keenan
sees opportunity at hand with the way
things have shaken down.
“We could be the type of team, and I felt
this last year too, that the more we play
the better we get. (Tuesday night) even
though there’s not a lot at stake, we’ve
got an opportunity to get better,” he said
prior to round robin finale.
Whitby opened the tournament on Sat-
urday night with an 11-3 victory over Cal-
gary, but were upended a day later by
Orangeville, 8-7 in overtime.
Despite the loss in that one, Keenan was
encouraged with his club’s effort, among
other things.
“It was a typical Orangeville/Whitby
game. Nasty and physical, dirty and all
of those things. It came down to we were
a little bit undisciplined and that kind of
cost us. We did battle back and get it into
overtime, but they got one,” he said.
“I thought our effort was really good.
Our execution was really good even
though we only scored seven. If we had
played more five-on-five we would have
had a big night. I thought we did some
really good things though it was a tough
loss because you know the ramifications.
We win that one and we had a chance to
go right to the finals.”
Instead, that’s Orangeville’s honour
and now Whitby is left with a daunting
task ahead of them in Coquitlam.
Keenan said the Adanacs have played
pretty much as advertised through the
opening of the tournament and will give
his club all it can handle with a trip to the
final on the line.
“We’ve watched them a lot and they’re
what we expected,” Keenan said. “Very
big team on defence, great big goalie, a
kid from Burlington, and their offence, on
the right side, it’s the best in the country.
They’ve got four guys that are all proba-
bly guaranteed impact pro players. That’s
a handful to take care of.
“Those kids have played together for a
few years and you can really tell. They’ve
got a lot of chemistry. They know what
each other is doing.”
On the flip side, Coquitlam will have its
hands full with the Warriors as well.
The bulk of this year’s roster was on last
year’s championship team that took the
long road to the title and knows just what
it takes to get the job done.
“That’s the way we did it last year. We
never seem to want to do things the easy
way,” Keenan said of having to play the
extra game.
Coquitlam opened the tournament with
a 9-5 loss to Orangeville before following
up with a 12-2 drubbing of Calgary.
