The Grade 6 student recently completed his second fire truck, designed on a 3-D computer program and subsequently built in the garage with his dad. Sammy’s fascina- tion began in the third grade when he met his friend’s father, a firefighter, and he soon built his first fire truck on a Fisher-Price wagon. “It was just something he liked to do and he would work in the garage for hours on end,” his mother Catherine Xerri said, add- ing a fire manual is his bedtime reading. Sammy has a form of autism called As- pergers, which Ms. Xerri explained gives him the tendency to zero in on one thing, “and this is his thing.” While most 11-year-olds like to shop for their favourite toys or video games, her son chooses to look for ways to upgrade his fire truck. “Most kids like to go to Toys “R” Us,” Ms. Xerri said. “Sammy’s favourite place is Home Depot.” He’s well-known by Pickering Fire Ser- vices, which supplied stickers for his truck. Before the firefighters realized Sammy’s tal- ents, he used to come to events and tell them all about his trucks. Fire inspector Steve Fowlds told him he didn’t believe him and asked him to bring it in. Since then, Sammy’s become pretty famous around the depart- ment. “He comes to all our open houses,” Mr. Fowlds said. The fire truck is basically a regular fire truck, just smaller. It’s fire-truck red, has four working hoses with different nozzles, a working 10-gallon water tank with nu- merous controls, a first-aid kit, batteries, a garbage can, flashlights, a licence plate that reads “SAM,” headlights, several doors, of- ficial fire department decals and wheel axles that he had to order in all the way from Wis- consin. He even has a mini-computer where he stores all of his response documentation. “I have a really loud siren,” he said, adding he uses it when he’s turning corners on his street or when kids need to get out of the way when he responds to a call. But, his interest doesn’t stop at building the truck: Sammy attended a junior fire- fighters’ camp in the summer, where he won an award for exceptional knowledge of fire fighting and fire safety. “I want to be a firefighter when I grow up,” he said. “I like the trucks but I would also like to go to the calls.” And he’s certainly getting practise lugging around his fire truck. “I’m not bragging about my strength or anything, but it’s pretty hard to pull, even I admit it,” he said, adding it weighs about 120 pounds when the water tank is empty and 150 pounds when it’s full.

Sammy’s truck is complete with working headlights, sirens, flashers, stocked full of tools and a working hose system with a pump. Investment Corner prints every other Thursday.

Originally, Region staff had proposed a 4.9- per-cent guideline to the Region’s various de- partments to use in creating their budgets. The rate would mean an additional $94 in taxes on a home valued at $280,000. The drop to four per cent would mean savings of $18 for the same home. Oshawa Councillor Joe Kolodzie proposed dropping the guideline on Wednesday. “I’m asking council to take a look at the eco- nomic times ... the situation wasn’t like this two months ago,” he said. But even before Coun. Kolodzie’s motion passed, Oshawa Mayor John Gray one-upped him by asking for a three-per-cent guideline after finance committee chairwoman and Scu- gog Mayor Marilyn Pearce said to maintain services as they currently are would require a three-to-3.5-per-cent tax increase. Rising wages, fuel prices and insurance costs are just some of the items driving up the base budget. Finance commissioner Jim Clapp said the 4.9-per-cent hike meant growth for funding priorities identified by council such as polic- ing, roads and public transit. He cautioned that dropping the guideline would mean there wouldn’t be a lot of room in the budget for extras when it’s presented early next year. “I don’t know if it’s my place to say this ... (but) when bike trails come forward and you want to stick in $200,000 or $500,000, now’s the time you have to tell me,” he said. Each one per cent property tax increase in Durham represents approximately $4 million in the Region’s budget. Following the meet- ing, Mr. Clapp said the new budget goal might mean public transit wouldn’t see any service increases in 2009 or that certain road projects would be deferred, but it was too early to say exactly which projects would be cut. While Mayor Gray’s proposal failed, Coun. Kolodzie’s had a wide range of support from councillors, passing 18-5. Many also agreed that tough economic times would mean rising costs for the Region’s social services. Durham funds 20 per cent of social assis- tance payments, including Ontario Works, in addition to contributions to other services like subsidized childcare spaces. Oshawa Coun. April Cullen, the health and social services committee chairwoman, sup- ported the lower guideline but also said coun- cil had to be careful it didn’t cut down to the bone at a time when social services will face increasing pressure. Although he also supported dropping the guideline, Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan pointed out the Region doesn’t have any choice in many of the services it provides since they’re mandated by the Province. “Anything beyond that, put it on a list, and then let’s play,” he said, adding that council- lors should make sure they understand what they’re doing when they advocate dropping the amount taxes will increase. Whitby Coun. Don Mitchell was one of the five councillors voting against dropping the guideline. He said it was a false choice to be looking at cuts to police or conservation authorities or other services the Region provides because the federal government seems to have money to spend. He cited the Conservative Party’s pro- posal for $700 million in tariff relief for manu- facturers importing machinery as an example, but added all parties advocate spending. “We’re delivering all these core services and they have enough play money to be able to throw those dollars around at will when they want to get elected,” Coun. Mitchell said. Of the originally proposed 4.9-per-cent guideline, 1.5 per cent would have gone to police, one per cent to the rest of the Region’s departments, including health and social ser- vices, one per cent to roads (half for growth and half for rehabilitation), one per cent for transit and 0.4 per cent for solid waste.

A search of the IP (Internet protocol) ad- dresses found postings came from House of Commons computers and Blackberrys, he said. The postings, he said, began when Ste- ven Gilchrist was the candidate and con- tinued when Mr. Johnson was nominated after Mr. Gilchrist withdrew for business reasons. “House of Commons computers have been used to denigrate Conservative candidates and to praise Mark. House of Commons computers can’t be used for partisan purposes,” Mr. Simpson said. The complaint with Elections Canada states that Conservative candidates in the riding have been “the subject of anony- mous postings that misrepresent and dis- tort the facts in order to influence an elector to vote for Liberal candidate Mark Holland, and to not vote for the Conserva- tive candidate. All of the identified post- ings originated from House of Commons computers or Blackberrys.” A posting by JR reads, “The Conserva- tives had a parade of 10 cars - mostly SUVs and trucks - driving to each drive- way, blocking people and making every- one they encountered generally annoyed. I only wish they would do it all over the riding. Driving around sitting on the back of pick-ups instead of walking to the next townhome is a real winning image.” “I find it very offensive,” Mr. Simpson said. “There’s a significant financial issue in terms of election financing. It’s a breach of what people in parliament are to use equipment for. “It’s anything but trivial. It’s deceptive, lacks transparency and there’s a potential breach of the Elections Canada statutes,” he said. “No,” Mr. Holland said when asked if the postings were sent from his Ottawa of- fices. “It’s not serious at all,” he said of the postings. “Somebody made postings to a blog that aren’t damaging at all. It’s an expression of personal opinion. “There are thousands of people who work in the House of Commons,” Mr. Hol- land said. “There’s nothing derogatory. There’s no issues at all.” As for fighting the charge, Mr. Holland said, “There’s no need to. It’s not going anywhere.” He called filing the complaint a “stunt in an election campaign. I don’t even know what basis they are trying to pursue it.” “Somewhere, someone, of the thou- sands of employees in the House of Com- mons, make personal opinions. I don’t understand what the point is.” Johnson steamed over Internet posting Ontario Public Library Week AJAX — Help kick-off Public Library Week.

It’s an expression of personal opinion.’ -- MARK HOLLAND Some homes to be environmentally friendly By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — A subdivision proposal along Riverside Drive will include at least one block of townhouses that will be built to LEED stan- dards. Marshall Homes is planning to construct 48 townhouses and four single-detached homes on River- side at Birchmount Road. An exist- ing home will also remain. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an envi- ronmentally friendly concept and about a dozen townhouses could be built under the program. The units would be built with water and energy-conservation meth- ods, reduced water-runoff tech- niques and better indoor air qual- ity. The development would be for empty-nesters and units could sell for $300,000 to $400,000, said Ian McCullough of Marshall Homes. Getting the LEED designation won’t be easy, Mr. McCullough said. “We’re not sure how to get our points yet,” he said. “It’s very chal- lenging. To do that whole site, it’s really not that straightforward.” For the one block, “we’re rolling up our sleeves and determining how to get our points.” There are only “a handful of houses” in North America with a LEED-designation and “this is the first townhouse block to be desig- nated.” While only one block will be LEED-certified, “it doesn’t pre- clude other units being brought up to that,” said Town planner Geoff Romanowski. The LEED designation is “very impressive. It’s the first time a sub- division has come forward with a LEED designation,” Wards 1 and 2 Regional Councillor Scott Craw- ford said. Mr. Romanowski said other units could also be made “green” with upgrades. Lesley Gazarek, a Bunting Court resident whose home backs onto the site, had a “concern about the density.” Homes adjacent to the site are one- and two-acre lots, she said. “I’m not opposed to the devel- opment. We always knew it would happen. We weren’t prepared for this high density in this area,” she said. Ms. Gazarek also questioned how long construction would last. “It’s very disturbing listening to construction noise.” Under the rules, the develop- ment could have had up to 130 units, Mr. McCullough said. “We’re barely making our density.” As for construction, “we want to start as quickly as possible. We’d like to be out in 12 months. Pre- dicting the market we’re not sure where it will be.” The hope is to have the sew- ers in by Christmas with housing construction to start in early 2009. Buyers could be moving in by next summer, he said. The density is “appropriate,” Mayor Steve Parish said, pointing to a provincial initiative to have more intense developments. “This is a significant develop- ment in terms of LEED certifica- tion. It’s the will of this council to see a high standard of environ- mental design. This is a significant development in that regard,” the mayor said.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 9, 2008 durhamregion.com Reader urges strategic vote to defeat Harper To the editor: With less than a week to go, the possibil- ity of a Harper majority is frighteningly real. With the dynamic Elizabeth May and the rock-steady Jack Layton making strong cases for their parties, the reality of left fragmentation resulting in a Conserva- tive majority is palpable. Until there is electoral reform and the popular vote can result in elected members of parliament, those of us who lean to the left with social democratic/small ‘l’ liberal views on everything from the environment to edu- cation, health care to the arts, have to use the only weapon left in our arsenal – the strategic vote. I have been following with interest discussions on the cross-Canada online movement to defeat the Harper Conserva- tives (voteforenvironment.ca). We should all follow the example of this site by find- ing out which candidate in our riding has the best chance of defeating the Harper candidate. The stakes are too high for us to waste our votes, or to allow good people to lose and ‘less good’ people to win sim- ply because they wear Tory blue. Mary Delaney Pickering F or years I had a very difficult time referring to myself as an “artist.” I still gag on it occasionally. I have always preferred performer or entertain- er or even comic, in a pinch. Lately I’ve even been trying on the moniker of writer. Oddly, I have no issues with being called or calling myself a writ- er. Real or imagined, there has always been, in my mind, a certain honour asso- ciated with that title. Writers were smart, witty, intelligent people. Artists, on the other hand, were, more often than not, pains in the ass. An artist was someone you had to walk on glass around, some- one who felt the rules didn’t apply to them, someone who thought themselves above the great unwashed. In my 21 years as a professional “per- former/entertainer/comic” I’ve bumped into my share of these people. People who made their own shoes, who saddled their unfortunate children with names like Stardust, Fiddlehead and Soil, people who have never looked at a tax return. These people love to call themselves artists. It’s a convenient and easy label to hide a shiftless, confused life behind. The rest of us have a different name for these individuals. We call them dicks. And I’ve finally come to realize that it was because of the dicks that I had a hard time calling myself an artist or even viewing what I brought to the stage or screen or page as having any value, as art. The dicks had sullied the word artist until it had become almost a pejorative term. The current furor over the cutting of arts funding has crystallized this for me. It’s made me stop and reappraise what I do for a living and to re-innumerate, if you will, how important art is to my life. Dare I say, to our lives. And perhaps the best way to under- stand this is to start taking the art out of our lives and see what we have left. Take away books, magazines, newspa- pers. Take away poetry, story-telling, films, documentaries, theatre, television shows. Take away pottery, sculpture, painting. Take away landscaping, gar- dening, architecture. Take away beauty, joy and laughter. Take away passion. What are we left with? Not much worth living for. Art impacts the bulk of our lives. Which nicely reinforces a theory I’ve long held; that we are all artists, cre- ators. Some of us are simply deeper in denial than others. I have finally come to value myself and my hardworking peers for what we do as artists. Artists make the world laugh, cry and think. They show the world that man can not only tear down and destroy, but build up and create. Artists hold the mirror up for us to examine ourselves in, blemishes and all. Artists, real artists, give us a reason to live beyond eating, drinking and procreating. I’ll wear that label any day and proudly. I understand why many people have a knee-jerk negative reaction to pub- lic funds going to support the arts. It’s because of the dicks. And no one wants to fund a dick. But for every lazy ponce who is out there wearing black and slurping oysters, there are 10 others whose art lifts all of our spirits. If we help them, we help ourselves. No one wants hard-earned tax money to go to some navel-gazing stiff and his collection of “snot painting.” But let’s not throw a very precious baby out with the bath water. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor- comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Make your democratic voice heard by voting on election day I f you haven’t already marked your ballot at an advance poll, make sure you head out on election day to exer- cise your democratic right. The polls are open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14. You should have already received informa- tion about where your local polling station is. Don’t forget to bring photo ID that clearly identifies you because you’ll be asked to show it at the polling station. You can also show two pieces of approved Elections Canada identi- fication, one of which must show your address. For more information, visit www.elections.ca. You have a 12-hour window in which to cast a ballot. And if you are working a long shift, your employer must give you a three-hour break to exercise your right to select a local candidate. Voting trends over the past few decades have been worrisome as people have, generally, shown less of an interest in governance and the process of elections. That’s been proven at the polls, where the number of voters has dropped from nearly 75 per cent of eligible electors to just more than 60 per cent. Actually, the last federal election in January 2006 represented a bit of a break with tradition, as voting totals were actu- ally up from the 2004 federal campaign. Recent history shows that over the past seven federal elections, dating back to 1984, the popular vote has plummeted in every election from 75.3 per cent to 60.9 per cent in 2004. It was back up to nearly 65 per cent in 2006, and it’s hoped the vote will climb this time out. For a population that puts its politi- cians to the ultimate test on election day is one that is engaged and can play a role in decision-making that affects all of us. To abdicate that responsibility is to fly in the face of the fundamental precept of participatory democracy: citizen involve- ment. Politicians ultimately work for you. In truth, they will only listen when you make your voice heard loud and clear. You can write to them or speak to them, but your vote counts loudest and clear- est. So make sure you stand up and speak up on election day. Vote.

Council is expected on Thursday to give final approval to a recommendation made by the Com- munity and Planning Committee last week. In addition to the gas station, there will also be a car wash and a Neighbours outlet. It’s the same as the Petro-Canada outlet at Salem and Achilles roads. Construction work would probably begin next March and take 16-to-18 weeks to complete, said Jonathan Rodger, a planner representing Petro- Canada. Immediately to the west of the site is a develop- ment that will include a Rona store, a supermarket, a bank and other retail uses. The gas station site is “probably an ideal place for a drive-through” because there’s no homes abutting the site, Ward 1 local Councillor Shaun Collier said. Given the location, “I can’t see that many going out of their way for a coffee,” he said.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 9, 2008 PAGE 9 A/Pdurhamregion.com Candidates dedicated to party’s causes soldier on By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — There’s not much chance that after next week’s elec- tion Henry Zekveld will be heading off to Ottawa. Likewise, Doug Anderson faces some pretty hefty competition as he submits his name for the consider- ation of the electorate. But in the weeks leading up to next Tuesday’s federal election both men have been on the cam- paign trail, attempting to put their party’s views before the people of their respective ridings. Mr. Zekveld, a Bowmanville-area farmer, is representing the Chris- tian Heritage Party in historically Conservative Durham riding, cur- rently held by Bev Oda. Mr. Ander- son is the Green Party candidate in Whitby-Oshawa where Jim Flaherty is the incumbent. Both have run for their parties in the past, garnering fractions of the votes cast in ridings that are home to high-ranking Tory cabinet members. Both men will tell you they are as committed to their campaigns as any of their opponents. And even if victory is unlikely, they proudly carry the colours of their parties. Mr. Zekveld’s CHP is a fringe party, set apart from established parties by its explicit adherence to fundamental Christian values, including a vehement opposition to abortion. Mr. Anderson’s Green Party began on the fringes as a voice for environmental advocacy but over time has grown and now fields candidates in all of the nation’s 308 ridings. For the first time in this campaign its leader, Elizabeth May, took part in a nationally televised leaders’ debate. Neither the CHP nor the Greens have yet elected a Member of Par- liament. Neither has drawn double digit percentage points in a national election. Ask Mr. Anderson about his chances in a race against Conserva- tive Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and transplanted Liberal candidate Brent Fullard, and he’s upbeat. “Can I win?” he asked during an interview in the early days of the campaign. “A week ago I would’ve told you not a chance, and I’d say right now it’s a long shot. “But given what’s happened (during the campaign) . . . well, stranger things have happened.” Muse aloud about the likelihood of defeat for Mr. Zekveld and he’s undeterred. “I’m running because there’s a party that represents me and there’s the freedom to do so,” he said. “I love my country and I love my family and I want a country that is prosperous, clean and safe and where people care for each other.” From the Rhino Party to the Marijuana Party to the Canadian Extreme Wrestling Party (no kid- ding), there’s a rich history of alter- native political entities popping up on the Canadian landscape. Some are obviously satirical pokes at the political establishment; some have arisen to push social or regional issues to the forefront of a crowded national agenda. Jonathan Greene, an assistant professor of politics and Canadian studies at Trent University in Pe- terborough, said the participation of alternative candidates can con- tribute to discourse and, in the long run, political movement. Canadian politics are, after all, by and large a fight for the middle, he said. Controversial topics can be skirted and stances on issues tailored not just to attract votes but also to avoid alienating potential supporters. “If you want to gain as a party you really have to go for the aver- age voter,” Mr. Greene said. “You become less ideological.” The result can be a perception among the voters that there are really more similarities than dif- ferences among the parties and their leaders, he said. That can lead to disillusionment and apathy, a dangerous trend in a nation where barely more than half of eligible voters cast a ballot. Fringe candidates can give voice to those who feel they’re not repre- sented by mainstream parties, Mr. Greene said. “We’re a pluralistic society,” he said. “The more voices the better.” And if a party has enough reso- nance, it may eventually find it- self gaining political currency. Mr. Greene points to a number of par- ties that began on the fringes before gaining momentum and the legiti- macy of voter support. The Reform Party of Preston Man- ning began as a Western protest movement and eventually usurped the Progressive Conservative party as the voice of Canada’s right before merging with the old-school Tories to form the current Conservative party. The Bloc Quebecois was forged in the fires of the separatist move- ment and wound up at one point forming the Official Opposition in Ottawa. The Green Party, long per- ceived as a single-issue entity, was welcomed in from the cold when leader Elizabeth May was finally allowed to participate in nationally televised debates with other main- stream party leaders. And remember the CCF? It was a socialist movement founded on the Prairies, the party of Tommy Douglas and universal health care that paved the way for the NDP. “Some parties eventually do break through,” Mr. Greene said. The issue for alternative parties may become this: Do you keep on with the message that began on the fringes or adapt and pursue the moderate middle that elects gov- ernments? “Once you become part of the process, if you had a radical edge, do you start to shed some of that?” Mr. Greene said. “Parties go through renewal pro- cesses. There’s always a concern that you’re losing the base of the movement.” One entity that can be said to have made the move from the fring- es closer to the mainstream is Mr. Anderson’s Green Party, for which he serves as a federal councillor and has run as a candidate twice. Arising from the environmental movement of the 1960s, the party, now more than two decades old, is making inroads with Canadian vot- ers, he said. “My take is that the Green Party isn’t a fringe party,” Mr. Anderson asserted. “We’re outside the main- stream because we’re ahead of ev- eryone else, I think.” The ultimate breakthrough, of course, would be to see a Green candidate elected in Tuesday’s election. Mr. Anderson says he ex- pects more than one Green MP to be Ottawa-bound.

In the presence of an overflowing audi- ence of kids and families, the Durham Dis- trict School Board celebrated authors of its 222-page collection of student writing, Pen Strokes. “Pen Strokes celebrates the best of all writing of all our students,” said Jill Foster, the Durham District School Board’s English facilitator. “So this evening is for students, it’s our opportunity to honour and celebrate their excellence,” Ms. Foster said. This year, the board received more than 400 writing submissions from 94 schools, double the amount of last year. “Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of staff, students, and of course parents,” she said during the Pen Stroke’s presentation at the board’s standing committee meeting. The strong parental support was evident by the attendance at the meeting, Ms. Foster said. As students from each municipality were called to the board room floor to re- ceive copies of Pen Strokes, parents busily snapped pictures of their kids. “Isn’t that a wonderful show of support of literacy from our parents,” she said. Writing happens in schools and at the kitchen table, Ms. Foster said. Visit penstrokes.ca to read Pen Strokes submissions.

Call 905-683-3210 Tubby impressed with ‘gym rat’ Joseph Smith one of four U.S. college coaches at Pickering High School clinic last weekend By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — Tubby Smith left no doubt he’s a big fan of his new Canadian recruit and Pickering High School graduate Devoe Jo- seph at the University of Minne- sota. Smith, the head coach of the U. of Minnesota Golden Gophers and one of the pre-eminent U.S. college basketball coaches, was at Pickering High School on Sun- day for Day 2 of a two-day coach- es’ clinic at the school. He was only too pleased to dis- cuss his prized freshman Joseph, who’s already hard at work at the U. of Minnesota in preparation for the 2008-09 season that gets underway next month. “He’s an unbelievable athlete and a phenomenal runner. He’ll run the mile and two miles and he laps people, which speaks to his stamina and endurance. He’s in great shape, but he has to get a bit stronger. But, he’s committed, he’s a kid that’s very coachable. We’ve given him a program in the weight room and he’s done everything we’ve asked him to. He’s a gym rat. I dropped by ‘The Barn’ Williams Arena and he was there at 9:30, 10 at night, shoot- ing, getting shots up. He has a great work ethic. That’s what at- tracted us to him, not only his ability to play the game.” And, all those attributes, says Smith, should add up to the for- mer Pickering High guard being a top-flight player for Minnesota in the Big Ten Conference this season. “He will be (an impact player). He’s talented enough. Does that mean he starts? He’ll earn min- utes as he goes along. He’s a guy who’s going to have a major im- pact and he’s going to play a lot,” predicted the coach. With a Golden Gophers’ re- cruiting class that is, according to some U.S. college basketball pundits, one of the strongest among any NCAA Division 1 uni- versity basketball program this season, there’s plenty of excite- ment on campus for the coming men’s hoops campaign. “It gives us a sense of excite- ment because we have better players,” explained Smith. “Ev- eryone is feeling the energy and excitement. The Golden Gopher nation and the fans are excited. Now, it’s our job to pull it all to- gether.” Smith says it will be up to Jo- seph, along with other top re- cruits such as Ralph Sampson III, Colton Iverson, Paul Carter and Devron Bostick, to deter- mine how successful the Golden Gophers will be this season. A March Madness berth? Perhaps not this year. “It’s a ways off. We’re in a very competitive conference, but we’ll see. It will depend how we do in the Big Ten. Last year, we were 8- 10 and should have been 10-8. If we get to .500 in the league, then we will have a successful Big Ten season.” An NCAA tournament berth will, most certainly, depend on the court savvy of such incoming freshman players as Joseph. “That’s our goal, but things have got to fall into place. We have three first-year players and two junior college players, who are still freshmen. We’ll be call- ing on these freshman players to do a lot.” With Canadian Joseph coming aboard in Minnesota, Smith says he’ll definitely be casting his eyes northward in search of more tal- ent in future years. “Absolutely. There are a lot of talented Canadian players in the states,” he said. “We recruited Devoe Joseph from here so we know there’s talent here.” With about 30 community and high school coaches in attendance on Sunday, Smith passed on his vast basketball knowledge in such spe- cialized areas as pressure defences and man offences during the day. Smith says Sunday’s visit wasn’t the only time he’s participated in coaching clinics in Canada, citing a few examples of his travels, includ- ing one last year at Pickering High School. His reason for coming is simply to give back to the community and especially to the Pickering High School basketball program, which groomed his University of Minne- sota prized recruit, guard Devoe Joseph, who won back-to-back provincial high school titles with the Trojans. “I want to give back to the coaches and to the community,” said Smith. Smith had nothing but high praise for the clinic, organized by Pickering High’s Mike Gordensky, noting it was well-organized and the sessions prompted lively discus- sions. “They were very attentive. They asked a lot of questions,” he said. “To sit here on a Sunday afternoon tells me a lot about their commit- ment to their teams and to their players.” Smith has been a constant winner throughout his 17 years as an NCAA Division 1 head coach, be- coming one out of only a handful of coaches to win 365 games in 15 sea- sons or less. The U. of Minnesota is Smith’s (whose given name is Or- lando) fourth stop as a head coach of a major college program, having coached previously at the University of Tulsa, the University of Georgia and at the University of Kentucky, where he won an NCAA title in 1998. He also helped coach the U.S. men’s basketball team at the 2000 Olympic Summer Games in Sydney, Australia. Smith was the featured coach among a group of four U.S. college coaches (Jeff Massey, St. Bonaven- ture; Kevin Clarke, Rhode Island; and Mike Hopkins (Syracuse) at last weekend’s clinic.

The Monarchs won both ends of a double- header in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athlet- ics (LOSSA) league action, beating the Brock High School Bulldogs in the first game 15-0, then crushing the Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars of Ajax 18-2 in the second game. Both contests were played at Dunmoore Park. With the victories, St. Mary pushed its record to 7-2-1 in LOSSA league play. The Monarchs were led by third baseman Nicole D’Anjou, who blasted a grand-slam home run to pace St. Mary’s vaunted hitting at- tack in the Notre Dame contest. St. Mary coach Shannon Van Rhee says the team is predomi- nantly a senior one, with about half the team’s players in their final year. She also noted that team chemistry has been a key ingredient to a fine season on the diamond this year. “Oh yeah, they’ve been amazing. The infielders and the outfielders have worked very well together this year,” she said. “We have a really good chance at LOSSA (playoffs) this year, which is very excit- ing.” And, that doesn’t take into account the Mon- archs’ solid pitching, supplied by duo Claire Wilson and Nicole Avola, who’ve also been staples of the team’s strong season to date. “We’ll have one of them pitch on Monday and come back with the other on Wednesday and they’ve been outstanding. Teams have had a hard time hitting off them,” she said. The Monarchs started playoffs on Wednesday, with the squad hoping to qualify for the LOSSA semifinal and final today (Thursday, Oct. 9).
