‘Whirlwind of a day’ greets new college president Leah Myers ready to continue tradition of success at Durham By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Leah Myers’ first day as Durham College president was a blur. “I was barely in the office yester- day, I was walking around a lot; it was a whirlwind of a day,” Ms. Myers said in an interview Wednesday, a day after officially taking over from a retiring Gary Polonsky. “It feels great, just wonderful to be here.” As she sat behind the original, but refurbished, furniture of the college’s first president from 1967, the smell of light yellow paint was almost as fresh as her position as college president. The 48-year-old, married mother of two teenagers, was previously the executive lead at the Ministry of Research and Innovation. She was chosen for the Durham Col- lege position about seven weeks ago, following an extensive search by the school’s board of governors. Ms. Myers’ extensive resume also includes work with former Ontario premier Bob Rae on his post-sec- ondary review report, where she provided research, policy, consulta- tion, communication and project support. “This is Day 2; Day 1, I didn’t know what to expect,” said Ms. Transport Canada, Public Works to remain involved despite transfer By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Change is coming to the federal lands in Pickering. SNC-Lavalin ProFac is taking over management of the feder- ally-owned lands in Pickering from Public Works as of May 1. Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland released the information April 5, which was confirmed Thursday by Transport Canada, the owner of the land. “They are an experienced prop- erty maintenance firm and they’re going to assume the day-to-day maintenance of the lands,” said Paula Fairfax, Transport Canada spokeswoman. “Transport Cana- da is still the landlord and Public Works will still be providing an oversight role.” Ms. Fairfax said the change has come about because of a “shift in Public Works’ mandate.” The lands were expropriated in 1972 by the federal government to build an airport -- an idea that was shelved, but is now being re- visited. Over the years there have been numerous complaints by tenants about the management of the properties. Since being elected in June 2004, Mr. Holland has taken on the airport issue and advocated that the land management be turned over to someone else. He said he was making progress on the issue when the government fell in No- vember. “The decision to transfer it had been made,” he said. “The deci- sion as to where had not.” As of Thursday he said the gov- ernment wasn’t confirming or de- nying the change was taking place.

Mr. Holland wanted himself, but more im- portantly, the commu- nity to be consulted be- fore the agreement was finalized. “I’m extremely dis- appointed,” he said. “I made it clear on this issue there are a lot of angles on this that won’t necessarily be conveyed to the minister from the bureaucracy.” Mr. Holland was pleased with what he heard in his initial con- versations with ProFac. “They said they’re going to be more re- sponsive and are look- ing to work with the ten- ants,” he said. While Mr. Holland said that sounds good, he is concerned about the details of the agree- ment. “My chief concern is, what is the mandate, because they don’t deal with residential proper- ties,” he said. Information on the company’s website states it already man- ages 319 Public Works properties that include administrative spaces and special facilities such as RCMP head- quarters. Gord McGregor, chairman of Land Over Landings and a tenant of the lands, said they’ve heard rumours that Public Works was no longer going to manage the lands, but no ten- ants have received any official notice. “Yes, I’d love to see a change in landlords,” he said. “Hopefully it will be a change for the bet- ter.” Ms. Fairfax said Thursday letters were being mailed to tenants “today. “The transition is to be seamless in terms of the impact to tenants.” Holland from page 1 PICKERING — Can- didates in Pickering aren’t knocking down the clerk’s door just yet.

Chris Braney threw his hat in the ring Feb. 24 to represent Pickering as a trustee on the Durham District School Board. The only other candi- date so far is incumbent Mayor Dave Ryan. The municipal elec- tion is Monday, Nov. 13. Candidates slow to sign up in Pickering Holland ‘disappointed’ with move By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Pickering wants to make sure the Region recognizes Cherrywood as a future urban area. Councillors endorsed staff’s recommendations regarding comments on the Durham Regional Of- ficial Plan review at the March 27 City executive committee meeting. One of the recommendations is for council to request that the Region identify the Cherrywood community (the southern portion of the provincially protected Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve) as a future urban policy area. Staff said in light of current legislation that designates the land as greenbelt (the area is protected both by the Greater Golden Horse- shoe Greenbelt legislation and the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve Act), the word future needs to be there. Pickering still wants the area recognized as having potential urban development. The second part of that recommendation is to request the urban area boundary expanded to in- clude lands in the northeast area of Pickering (lands outside the greenbelt) and to designate these lands as a future urban study area. Wa rd 3 City Councillor David Pickles commented this was important in light of the limited room for growth in Pickering due to a lot of land being off- limits because it is either in the greenbelt or owned by an upper level of government. There were also recommendations about the rural policy, including continuing to allow the severance of farm retirement lots, and permitting stand-alone farm-related commercial uses (such as farm mar- kets and auction barns) in rural areas. The Region plans to permit only a 25-per cent expansion of hamlets. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson thought the 25-per cent cap was arbitrary. He said that amount of growth might be adequate for a larger hamlet such as Claremont, but not for smaller hamlets such as Kinsale and Balsam where the growth would mean adding only another eight or 10 homes. The regional Official Plan is to be finalized in late summer or early fall.

Environment Minister Laurel Broten announced Friday the ap- proval of Durham and York re- gions’ terms of reference, allowing them to proceed with the develop- ment of a 35-year plan that will mean local solutions for waste. “We are sending almost all of our waste to Michigan,” Ms. Ja- nuszkiewicz said. “This is not sus- tainable.” Durham and York regions have agreed to undertake a joint resid- ual waste planning study to find a solution to managing the waste that remains after diversion. The terms of reference serve as a work plan for an environmental assessment to look at a number of options for dealing with waste. Ms. Januszkiewicz explained it outlines where the regions are now and where they want to be in the future, leading to the goal of 60-per cent diversion in Durham by 2011. The EA will consider a range of processing technologies and treat- ments, including the latest thermal technologies. “We outlined the process and eliminated landfill; it is not an op- tion,” she said. The hope is the chosen process will recover material, maximize di- version and produce energy from waste, according to Ms. Janusz- kiewicz. The next steps are public meetings to be held in May. Be- fore summer, Ms. Januszkiewicz said the regions’ waste study group will announce its preferred sys- tem. Preliminary work will then be started to narrow down a waste facility site early next year.

For me, the early days are really about learning. I’m in listening and learning mode right now.” On her first day, along with meetings to set up e-mail and Blackberry equipment, she toured the Oshawa campus to get a feel for the student environment outside of the classroom and to see where they go for student services, met with the student associ- ation and visited the Whitby Skills Training Centre. “Before I knew it, it was 6:30 p.m.,” she said. In the weeks leading up to her new job, Ms. Myers was filled with excitement and mixed emotions, including concern during the recent faculty strike. “It’s been quite a period these six weeks, but it feels great to be here today,” she said. Ms. Myers spent a lot of time thinking about getting to the college, meeting the people and experiencing the campus full of students. She even visited the col- lege on the first day after the strike to welcome people back. “There was really a sense of momentum,” she said. As president, she intends to continue Durham’s tra- dition of success, promote the school and support its growth and unique partner- ships. She added this year alone, the college is adding seven new programs. “I think the growth of the college both here and at Whitby (has been) a success,” Ms. Myers said. “There’s lots of new stuff going on and for me, that’s one of my pri- orities, to be able to support the growth on all fronts.” Along with raising the school’s profile nationally, she also plans on working with local schools to teach them more about Durham College’s unique programs and partnerships, such as the bridging program with the university, and she wants to increase enrolment. “More people need to know about us,” she said. Right now, her focus is on helping students finish the year.

The dollars are much needed by Durham Region Transit (DRT), says Nester Pidwerbecki, vice-chairman of the transit commission and an Oshawa regional councillor. The one-time grant from the Province is through the former Ontario Transit Ve hicle One-Third Fund- ing Program (OTVP). The money will be used to re- place or refurbish local buses and the grant is de- signed to cover the cost of all committed bus orders for 2006 and early 2007. “O ne-time grant couldn’t be more timely for DRT with the rider increase and an aging fleet,” Coun. Pid- werbecki said. “Definitely our fleet is aged... we have inherited quite a number of buses that should be retired as we speak.” Provincial dollars will get Durham transit moving THE NEWS ADVERTISER, April 7, 2006 PAGE 5 A/Pdurhamregion.com Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo It’s been a week of firsts for new Durham College president Leah Myers, as she has toured the school, met with staff, and learned more about student services in her first few days on the job. Myers wants to school all Canadians on Durham College EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Ajax, Pickering need arts centre T he Durham West Arts Centre is too valuable to Ajax and Pickering to fade into the sunset. It’s not disappearing, but the DWAC is transforming itself to deal with a number of recent developments. Its Trillium Foundation grant ran out at the end of March, its current home on Old Kingston Road is up for sale and, most significantly, the level of financial support it sought from Ajax and Pickering is not forthcoming. Over the last two years DWAC has worked to establish itself and get its name out in the community. By all measures, it has made a big, impressive splash in west Durham. It has offered innovative and excellent programming for tens of thousands of people of all ages, including the memorable Tom Thomson and Franklin the Turtle exhibits. But, while the DWAC has had a transitional home, its pri- mary goal is to create a new arts facility. Executive director Angie Littlefield argues there is a tremendous need for such a facility here, pointing to the countless dollars that leave the community each year as parents and performers seek venues. She’s done her homework and presented an excellent case. Until it is cre- ated in five or 10 years, however, the DWAC needs operational funding to continue running. The request for $90,000 each this year from Ajax and Pickering was turned down unfortunately by both. Pickering did provide $25,000, while Ajax approved “up to” $25,000, but with strings attached. At budget time, the comments by some Ajax councillors were discouraging to say the least and demonstrated a haziness of what DWAC has in mind and a lack of understanding of the arts. DWAC has a business plan, so arguments that it does not are spurious. It’s not looking to milk the Town and City dry. In the coming weeks a number of fundraising events are planned to provide the centre with the financial support so urgently needed to continue moving toward the ultimate goal of a new centre. The community’s doing its part. In the coming months it’s imperative Ajax and Pickering officials look at ways they too can work with centre officials to bring this innovative project to reality. There’s too much to gain for both communities to let the opportunity slip away. Anti-Anderson camp gets ‘personal’ To the editor: While I don’t wish to delve into how a regional chairman should be elected, the ongoing anti-Roger Anderson campaign team fails to inform the public of all the facts. They fail to say that this campaign would never exist had it not been for a personal vendetta, and that the position is elected by elected individuals. They fail to say how many tax dollars they waste by bringing this issue to a regional council vote year after year. They fail to recognize that when Paul Martin said ‘No’ to Durham Region’s International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) aspirations, it was Mr. Anderson who took the fight to the international stage on Durham’s behalf. This project would have brought many high-paying jobs for Durham and would have spawned many positive economic benefits. In light of all the problems facing other industries these days, the ITER jobs would have been especially valuable to Dur- ham. Now, thanks to Mr. Martin, those jobs are lost forever. Mr. Anderson continually brings productive attention to this region like no other elected individual ever has. It’s time to stop this vendetta and let this man get on with his job.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, APRIL 7, 2006 durhamregion.com W hen you look around, beyond churches and school auditori- ums, most notably at J. Clarke- Notre Dame, there are few venues for performers to strut their stuff and for artists to hang their work for public display. Considering there are an estimated 600 artists in Ajax and Pickering, never mind the thousands of young people who are arts-thirsty, it’s clear we need a large facility dedicated to this purpose. But, getting there will be a bit harder now without the kind of support the Durham West Arts Centre (DWAC) was seeking from Ajax and Pickering. If you recall, the DWAC received a Trillium Foundation grant and has a mandate to create an arts facility here. In two short years, the DWAC has es- tablished itself as a welcome addition to the arts community, offering excel- lent and innovative programming for all ages. Yet, in seeking $90,000 each from Ajax and Pickering this year, the DWAC ran into roadblocks. Ajax, in particular, doesn’t seem to get it, as comments from Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown indicate. “When we funded this organization, (the belief was) they would go off on their own. That hasn’t happened to date,” she said during budget talks. “Are we responsible for Durham arts? No, we’re responsible for Ajax arts.” It’s a narrow view, to be sure. We’re not talking about a road or a piece of land. This is different. The arts are universal. Artists are not bounded by municipal borders and do not exhibit solely in their home municipalities. Surely Ajax is sophisticated enough to understand this. Ajax is supplying up to $25,000, not as a lump sum, but through individual requests from the DWAC and only if they are for Ajax-specific pro- gramming. The irony is that the DWAC doesn’t need money for programs, but it needs funds to pay the electricity and heating bills. Mayor Steve Parish was the lone coun- cil member who noted that the ultimate goal isn’t to offer programming (DWAC has that covered) but to see an arts cen- tre built, recognizing that it would be “a major asset to our community.” An arts centre would attract high- profile performers and wider audiences to the area. Increasingly, research is showing the major economic benefits arts and arts-related activities bring to a community. DWAC was seeking operational funds from the municipalities, which they were reluctant to provide. I can under- stand councils’ concern that this would be an ongoing request, but there’s a goal in sight, and the price isn’t high to get there. Mike Ruta’s column appears every third Friday.

Relaxing in a hot tub after a hectic day doesn’t have to be a dream. It can be a reality with a visit to Beachcomber Hot Tubs in Whitby. Located at 1540 Dundas Street East at Thickson Rd., Beachcomber Hot Tubs, established in 1978, is a Canadian owned family business with dealers all over North America and Europe. Celebrating their fi rst year in business, Beachcomber Hot Tubs in Whitby was one of 6 locations that received top honours from the company. Dealer Mike Madore says the success of Beachcomber Hot Tubs comes from the many features that stand out among their competitors. “We have the only true guarantee in the business,” says Mike. “There is no fi ne print, no nonsense.” Beachcomber founder Keith Scott believes that people who are willing to make a signifi cant investment in their happiness should get a guarantee that their Beachcomber Hot Tub will perform as promised. He feels limited warranties protect the seller, so Beachcomber offers not one but three guarantees against defects in materials or workmanship for the original owner. They offer a Lifetime Structural Guarantee, a Five-Year Total Surface Guarantee, a Two-Year Equipment Guarantee, and a Premium Guarantee that extends your 2 year equipment coverage to 5 years. Just ask for details. Of course having fun in a hot tub is more than just a great guarantee. It’s all about how you feel once you immerse yourself in the soothing waters. “It’s simply the best hot tub on the market,” says Mike. “First there’s the contour seating with form-fi tting design and large foot wells which means ample room for any size person for full relaxation. Then there’s the W aterport™ Massage technology that delivers hot water at constant pressure to every Ener- Jet™ massage jet for maximum soothing power. “Mike says you can change massage inserts with a twist of the wrist and there are three different kinds of Ener-Jets™ and 11 unique nozzles that give you amazing fl exibility to create exactly the right type of massage for you.

Peter has been in the fl ooring industry for 35 years and started the fi rst carpet store in Pickering. The Floor Fashion Centre has been at the present location for 15 years. During this time, Peter, Lorraine and Chris have seen the fl ooring industry evolve from carpeting and cushion fl oor to hardwood, laminate, ceramic tile, fi bre fl oor as well as the traditional vinyl fl ooring. This evolution in product selection has given the customer many options for their homes – the latest in fl ooring trends are displayed in their modern showroom. The Floor Fashion Centre has recently become a Master Gallery store featuring Stainmaster carpet. All products are offered at a variety of prices to suit many different budgets. Peter, Lorraine and Chris believe that an informed customer will make wise choices, and so, they are more than willing to provide customers with a “101” on any fl ooring product. They realize that customers are at the centre of a successful business; therefore they are committed to maintaining their customers for life. They expect that the quality of their installations and the dependability of their staff will always be refl ected in the service they provide their customers – whether they are residential, commercial or custom installations.

Just to recap, who said that the biggest doors have to be boring? There are so many options available today for homeowners to differentiate their home from the neighbours. Gone are the days where a garage door had only an open and close function. Today this product plays an important role in the Design Build sector. “The consumer has a growing need to stand out, they want their home to be unique, not just like the neighbours next door”, concludes Mr. Dan Hill. The Garage door is much trendier nowadays Let’s say it, the garage door has never been particularly trendy, even though it is the largest object when you look at a home. Usually, we buy only one garage door in our lifetime: when we build a new house or when we renovate. So saying that a garage door is the new trend may not seem appropriate, but check a little bit further and you’ll see that it’s quite a different picture in the market. Garage doors are really being used more then ever to make a statement and add a lot of curb appeal. Garaga is responding to that growing interest by offering new options. According to Dan Hill, from Autograph Door Systems: “The biggest fashion trend is the carriage house look, which features a barn-like style with large hinges and designs that were popular for carriage doors before overhead doors existed.” People see their home as a place of peace and refuge. As such, they want to personalize their house as much as possible and make it truly their own. They also want homes that match their lifestyle and tastes. More and more, Mr. Hill notices that the garage door is integrated in the design of the house. With its large surface, it must match with the entry doors and windows and offer an attractive style and fi nish. Mr. Hill points out: “Colours are infl uenced by what the doors and windows and exterior siding manufacturers are doing. We have to be on the look- out for all the new products, because the consumers will require that all components of the house match harmoniously.” The common element of these components is colour. The most popular colour in the market is still white and even though it’s a big seller, it’s now losing ground to new shades. Currently, the trends are moving towards earth tones. Garaga’s Bronze Sierra, Dark Sand and Claystone colours are offered to refl ect this trend. Besides colours, homeowners can also choose a different design. The choice offered is very interesting. Autograph Door Systems supplies the traditional raised panels (21 X 13 in), the fl ush design, ," f ÓÈ{]ä $ISCOVER /UR 3EMI $ETACHED (OMES 4HAT /FFER 9OU -ORE WWWJOHNBODDYHOMESCOM * i\ÊäxÈ££ÇÇÇ ->iÃÊ"vwViÊÊ,ÃÃ>`Ê,`°Ê7°ÊÕÃÌÊi>ÃÌÊvÊ,>ÛiÃVÀvÌÊ,`° "vwViÊÕÀÃ\ÊÊ °ÊÌÊ/ ÕÀð\Ê£Ó«ÊÌÊn«ÆÊÀ°\£Ó«ÊÌÊÈ«ÊÊ ->Ì°Ê>`Ê°\Ê£ä>ÊÌÊÈ«°ÆÊ Ãi`Ê-Õ`>Þà 4HE ,YNTON SQFT -ORE 3PACE 7E OFFER YOU MORE SPACE TO ENJOY LIKE OUR SQFT PLUS MASTER BEDROOM RETREATS OVER SIZED WALK IN CLOSETS GENEROUS EAT IN KITCHENS FORMAL DINING ROOMS WITH COFFERED CEILINGS AND SO MUCH MORE -ORE "ACKYARD -ORE BACKYARD TO ENJOY 4HESE ARE SPACIOUS BACKYARDS WITH ROOM TO PLAY ROOM TO BUILD YOUR DREAM DECK ROOM TO SIMPLY RELAX AND ENJOY -ORE &EATURES s #OZY GAS lREPLACE IN YOUR 'REAT 2OOM s 4RANSOM WINDOWS s $ECOR COLUMNS s #ERAMIC TILE KITCHEN BACKSPLASH s )MPORTED CERAMIC TILE mOORING IN FOYER KITCHEN MAIN mOOR LAUNDRY POWDER ROOM ENSUITE MAIN BATH s $OUBLE THE REQUIRED SOUND INSULATED JOINT WALLS s 2OUGH IN FOR FUTURE BASEMENT BATHROOM INCLUDED AND MORE -ORE OF 7HAT 9OU 7ANT $ISCOVER %AGLE 'LEN BY *OHN "ODDY (OMES TODAY #HOOSE FROM A VARIETY OF HOUSE DESIGNS EXECUTIVE SEMIS CLASSIC TWO STOREY HOMES SIDESPLITS AND BACKSPLITS AND A JUST RELEASED BUNGALOW ALL IN !JAX AT 2OSSLAND 2OAD 7EST AND 2AVENCSCROFT 2OAD OFFERING YOU THE BEST OF CITY AND COUNTRY LIFE %XECUTIVE 3EMIS ON &ULL $EPTH FT ,OTS SQFT OF ,UXURY 6ISIT /UR &URNISHED - O D E L S .EW 3EMI - O D E L ! 3 + !

Released after six months in jail, now on probation for incidents involving locations across Durham, including Ajax By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer AJAX — One of the main players in a theft ring that targeted construc- tion sites throughout Durham Region last summer has been released after spending six months in pretrial cus- tody. Darryl John Bowler, 24, of Whitby, pleaded guilty to 16 counts relating to the string of thefts during a court ap- pearance in Oshawa Tuesday. He had originally been facing hundreds of charges after being caught red-hand- ed by Durham Regional Police as he unloaded stolen property at a Whitby location last September. Ontario Court Justice Paul Bellefon- taine agreed that Mr. Bowler, who has been held in the Whitby jail since his arrest, has spent enough time behind bars. But he placed the man on proba- tion for a year and warned him that his growing criminal record could land him in custody for longer stretches for any future transgressions. “It’s just going to be leapfrogging into bigger and bigger sentences,” the judge said. “It’s going to be important to try and distance yourself from this type of behaviour.” Court heard Mr. Bowler was part of a crew that targeted construction sites in Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Bow- manville during the summer of 2005. They would break into site trailers, equipment bins and workers’ vehi- cles, stealing power and manual tools and building materials, which they resold. The gang — three other people have been charged — also broke into sev- eral vehicles parked overnight at a Durham Region works yard on Conlin Road, Justice Bellefontaine heard. Things unravelled for the gang of thieves when Durham police followed Mr. Bowler and another man to a house on Perry Street in Whitby on the night of Sept. 29 and watched as they unloaded stolen property from a minivan. Cops arrested the men and in a sub- sequent search of the property found a truckload of equipment that includ- ed generators, water pumps and tools, the judge heard. Two more accomplices were arrest- ed the next day. • Manufacturer’s Warranty • 30 Day/2,500km.

Mr. Flaherty said the Con- servative’s throne speech -- which reiterated its mandate to clean up government, get tough on crime, cut the GST, provide a child-care allow- ance and work to provide better health care -- signalled a “turning over of a new leaf,” and represented that people voted for change. “This is a different kind of government. We know where we’re going, we know what we’re trying to accomplish,” Mr. Flaherty said, adding the Conservatives are going to live up to their promises the best they can within a mi- nority government. The Federal Account- ability Act, which the Con- servatives will introduce to try to restore public trust in government, was one of the most important aspects of the throne speech, Mr. Fla- herty said. It will, among other elements, clarify who can contribute money to political parties (with maxi- mum contributions of up to $1,000), restrict lobbyists and make sure people are in poli- tics “for the right reasons,” he said. “It’s what voters felt, which is a need for openness, and clarity and transparency in getting rid of corruption in government. That was pretty strongly felt across all of Can- ada, and that’s the first piece of legislation we’re introduc- ing. Theses are big changes in the way government oper- ates in order to restore trust back in our elected officials,” he said. In terms of providing bet- ter health care and estab- lishing a patient wait-times guarantee, Mr. Flaherty said the only way to ensure orga- nizations get the necessary funds to reduce hospital wait times is through constant negotiations with the prov- inces. Meanwhile, Mr. Flaherty said he is looking forward to working with his wife, Chris- tine Elliott, who was elected MPP for Whitby-Ajax on March 30. He said local resi- dents should expect better service by having two elected officials at the provincial and federal level who have such a close relationship, and of- fices situated relatively close to one another.

A case of mistaken identity lands Josh Hartnett in trouble The following movies are in theatres this weekend: Lucky Number Slevin Directed by Paul McGuigan Starring: Josh Hartnett, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley, Lucy Liu and Bruce Willis. Rated: R Slevin (Hartnett) comes to New York to visit his friend, Nick, but finds his apart- ment empty. “I think Nick is in trouble,” says Lindsey (Liu), his neighbour. That becomes clear when Slevin opens the door expecting to see Lindsey and gets a fistful of knuckles instead. The boss (Freeman, and later Kingsley) wants to see Nick, and Slevin can’t prove he’s not Nick because his pocket got picked that morning. He soon finds himself in the middle of a high-profile murder being plotted by one of New York’s biggest crime bosses. Brick Directed by Rian Johnson Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lukas Haas, Norah Zehetner and Meagan Good. Rated: R At a modern-day southern California high school, student Brendan Frye’s (Gordon- Levitt) piercing intelligence spares no one. Brendan is not afraid to back up his words with actions, and knows all the angles; yet he prefers to stay an outsider, until the day his ex-girlfriend, Emily (Emilie de Ravin, of Lost), reaches out to him unexpectedly and then disappears. Brendan’s feelings for her still run deep and he becomes consumed with finding Emily. He enlists the aid of his only true peer, The Brain (Matt O’Leary), while keeping the as- sistant vice-principal (Richard Roundtree) only occasionally informed of what quickly becomes a dangerous investigation. Bren- dan’s unearthing of students’ secrets throws him into the colliding social orbits of rich girl sophisticate Laura (Zehetner), intimidating Tu gger (Noah Fleiss), substance-abusing Dode (Noah Segan), seductive Kara (Good), jock Brad (Brian White), and — most omi- nously — non-student The Pin (Haas). ‘The Benchwarmers’ and ‘Phat Girlz’ are also on the big screen this weekend.

Groen/ News Advertiser photo Six Durham Region members of the Toronto Lynx junior academy under-16 soccer team will travel to Texas to compete in the prestigious invitational Dallas Cup tournament, beginning Sunday. From left are Nick Alexander and Jordan Reeve of Pickering, Michael Cancellara and Adrian Williams of Ajax, Derek Rocha of Bowmanville and Colin Francis of Oshawa. Ajax-Pickering teens form nucleus of To r onto Lynx junior academy squad By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — Playing against the best of the best on the soccer pitch. That’s what six Durham Region elite soccer players with the Toronto Lynx junior academy squad will be doing when they take the field at the prestigious Dallas Cup XXVII, start- ing on Sunday. Michael Cancellara, 16, and Adrian Williams, 15, of Ajax, Jordan Reeve, 16 and Nick Alexander, 15, of Pickering, Derek Rocha, 15, of Bow- manville, and Colin Francis, 16, of Oshawa, will join 12 other members of the Lynx academy team compet- ing in the 32-team under-16 Group ‘C’ tier 2 division of the tournament, from April 9 to 16, which draws elite teams from around the world. The Lynx left for Dallas today (Friday) and begin tournament play Sunday when they play their Pool ‘E’ opener against Andromeda from Dallas. Other teams in the pool are SASC Premier from Arcadia, Califor- nia, and the Boca Juniors from Boca Raton, Florida. Vic Rocha, a coach at the Toronto Lynx Academy, says the Dallas Cup is a world-renowned phenomenon, as it is an invitation-only tourna- ment that routinely attracts many of the top European, South American and North American youth teams. Among those youth teams taking part in the ‘Super Group’ under-19 division are Manchester United and the Blackburn Rovers from England, and Real Madrid from Spain. Although its the first tournament of the season for the Lynx Academy team, which plays in the Super Y League against top U.S. teams dur- ing the summer months, the Toron- to team does expect to perform up to expectations at the Dallas Cup. “We’re going to play to win, for sure,” says Danny Stewart, the senior academy director for the Lynx. “We don’t do it any other way.” Previous academy teams have set the bar high at Dallas Cup events, most notably two years ago when the Lynx squad qualified for the final. Stewart notes this year’s edition of the Lynx under-16s need to play in- spired soccer, along with a little luck, to emerge beyond its pool. This is especially true in light of the fact the SASC Premier team from California was runners-up in the Dallas Cup in the under-14 bracket. “If you play hard in the group stage, you can go a long way,” says Stewart. In preparation for the Dallas Cup, Stewart says the Lynx Academy team participated in a series of exhibition games and tournaments in Buffalo, at a full-field indoor soccer facility there. He does, however, admit his team’s at a disadvantage not having practised outdoors prior to the tour- nament. Reeve, a striker with the academy team, is excited about the prospects of competing again internation- ally. He was part of a Lynx junior team that competed in England last year in a tournament that featured junior teams from Everton, Ports- mouth, Tranmere and Bournsmith. The Lynx recorded two ties and two losses. “I’m looking forward to the com- petition. I’ve never been to the tour- nament before,” says Reeve, a Grade 10 student at Dunbarton High School, who’s hoping to lead the Lynx out of their pool and on into the playoffs in Dallas. Colin Francis, a Lynx centre- midfielder, is preparing for his first Super Y League campaign and his first-ever time at the Dallas Cup. As such, he’s unsure what awaits him and his teammates. Rocha, a three-year member of the Lynx academy, notes his team- mates can expect a faster pace as well as aggressive play from the American teams. “The American boys are bigger and stronger, so we have to adapt to that,” says Rocha, a centre back who attends Grade 10 at St. Stephen’s Catholic Secondary School in Bow- manville. Cancellara is a goalkeeper with the Lynx who attends Grade 10 at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax. Meanwhile, Alexander, a mid- fielder, is in Grade 10 at Dunbarton High School. Finally, Williams plays midfield and defence, and attends Grade 10 at Ajax High School. NOTES: The Toronto Lynx junior academy team won all three of its exhibition games in Buffalo prior to the Dallas Cup, including one against Erie, Penn., which was the defending state champions... The Lynx play SASC Premier on Mon- day, April 10 at 2 p.m. and finish pool play on Wednesday, April 12 against the Boca Juniors... Finals of the under-16 division tier 2 division go on Sunday, April 16... Teams from Mexico, Germany, Costa Rica, and Trinidad and Tobago are also com- peting in the under-16 division... There’s only one other Canadian team competing in the Dallas Cup’s under-16 group -- Calgary SW Unit- ed Premier.

Leading the way was four-year Panther and team captain Ryan An- nesley, who was honoured with two awards: best defenceman and the Brad Shearer Leadership Award. The Ajax resident, who returned to the Panthers this season to up- grade his chances of landing an NCAA Division 1 scholarship, had a season to remember. He repre- sented the Panthers and the OPJHL at the inaugural Canadian Junior ‘A’ Hockey League Prospects Game in Yorkton, Saskatchewan last De- cember. The 5-foot-10-inch, 190-pound defenceman was also named the South Conference’s top defence- man and was also named to the annual OPJHL all-star game this season. Annesley will begin his NCAA collegiate career in the fall with the Niagara University Purple Eagles of Niagara Falls, New York. The 3-Star Award, given to the player who accumulated the most 3-star nominations throughout the season, went to first-year goalten- der Mark Duchesne, who came over to the Panthers from the Lis- towel Cyclones junior ‘B’ team at the start of the season. Justin Fox received the award as the top scorer. He bagged 28 goals and 35 assists for 63 points. Fox also was the Panthers’ most valu- able player in the playoffs. In the post-season, he led the Panthers in scoring with eight goals and eight assists in 10 playoff games. To dd Hosmer received rookie- of-the-year honours. Hosmer, 18, who played with the Junior Cana- diens ‘AAA’ midgets before joining the Panthers this season, finished with 31 points (19 goals, 12 assists). The 6-foot-1-inch centre also had five points in 10 playoff games this season. Defenceman Kevin Huinink got the nod as the Panthers most im- proved player this season. As is Panthers’ tradition, gradu- ating players A.J. Ward, Chris Jones, and John Soames were presented their jerseys. The Panthers’ organization is already planning for the 2006-07 campaign, with the club’s annual rookie camp slated for the Pickering Recreation Complex the week of April 24. Ryan Annesley Mark Duchesne Justin Fox Todd Hosmer Ke vin Huinink Panthers’ Po stscript Pickering defenceman Ryan An- nesley was named to Team On- tario for the Pre-Draft Showcase in Boston May 12 to 14. It’s a chance to give NHL scouts one last look at top prospects prior to the NHL Entry Draft... The Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League champion- ship final is now set with the St. Michael Buzzers of the league’s South Conference playing the North Conference’s Stouffville Spirit. The Buzzers knocked off the Bow- manville Eagles in five games in the semifinal series, while Stouffville ousted the Oakville Blades in a sev- enth and deciding game... Panthers host their annual rookie camp at the Pickering Recreation Complex from April 24 to 28... PICKERING — A Pickering resi- dent and former Pickering Panther has made the East Coast Hockey League’s all-rookie team. Defenceman T.J. Kemp, in his first year with the Reading Royals, an affiliate of the National Hock- ey League’s Los Angeles Kings, amassed 40 points (13 goals and 27 assists). Kemp has been on fire since picking up five assists -- a team record -- in a game against Dayton last November. Since that point, he put together a 10-game point streak and three multi- goal games and 10 multi- point performances. His offensive prowess has placed Kemp among the leading scoring defence- men in the league. Kemp is currently on loan to the Bridge- port Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League, which marks his fourth trip of the season to the AHL where he has played 11 games. The all-rookie team is determined in a vote of ECHL coaches. A rookie is a player who has played in less than 25 professional games. Prior to joining the Royals, Kemp played four years on scholar- ship for the Mercyhurst College (Erie, Penn.) Lakers. Former Panther Kemp an all-star for Reading T.J.

Pickering re- sponded in Game 2 at Owen Sound’s Bayshore Arena on March 19 with a 5-1 win. In Game 3, the Panthers took a 2-1 series lead with a 2-1 win at Don Beer arena on March 24. But, Owen Sound forced Game 5 with a 2-1 victory at home on March 25. Entering the playoffs, Pickering began with a bye in the first round and played TNT in the preliminaries, de- feating them in three straight games. The Panthers next played Markham Waxers in the quarter-finals and Oril- lia Terriers in the semifinals, defeating both clubs in Game 5 of each series. The Panthers’ playoff re- cord was a hard-fought 12 wins and 6 losses, with 61 goals for and 41 against, lead- ing to the OMHA title. This year, 10 return- ing players from last year’s championship team provid- ed leadership in carrying on a winning tradition. The Pickering midgets fin- ished the regular season in first place with a record of 23-3-2, amassing 136 goals while allowing 58. The team was led by cap- tain Shane Boyd and alter- nates Luke Cormier, Jordan Entwistle, Michael Accettone and Branden Cleary. Michael O’Sullivan, Damien Pavlidis, Phillip Pett, Matt Raymond, Scott McRae, Jordan Pollari, Ryan Bonneau and Ryan La- manna offered the offensive spark, while Dan Sullivan, Zach Milcowich, Chris Nick- le patrolled the blue-line. The goaltending duties were shared by David Tomei and Justin Davis, with backup support by Wesley Pritchard and Jamie Molony. Affiliated players, Justin Petrovich, Joel Fa rren and Gus Mattachioni played a big role for the team throughout the playoffs. Ron Cleary coaches the team, assisted by Craig Sulli- van and Steve Pett. The train- er is Tom O’Sullivan, and the manager’s Margot Sullivan. Pickering midget ‘AE’s all-Ontario champions DURHAM — With univer- sity athletics wrapping up for the year, a few local faces managed to capture some hardware recently at Trent University in Peterborough during their annual awards night. Adding to their mantle will be Josh Connor of Whitby and Pickering’s Lisa Lahey, who were both recognized with the University Athletic Award, given to the students who have demonstrated a significant contribution to the varsity and campus rec- reation programs. Connor fit the bill thanks in part to his five seasons with the Trent men’s rugby program, where he served as team captain for two years and was twice select- ed as an OUA all-star. As for Lahey, for the past four years, she has been an integral part of the women’s soccer program. In her time at Trent, Lahey served as team captain for two years and developed into a strong leader not only on the field, but off it too. The following local ath- letes were also honoured by Trent for the outstand- ing commitment and dedi- cation to their respective sports: Jeff McDiarmid of Oshawa (men’s rugby), Uxbridge’s Leslie Vander- geest (women’s soccer), Matt Gardner (men’s soc- cer), Britni Lloyd (women’s volleyball) and Paul Scott (men’s volleyball) all of Whitby.
