Officers take job action They’re back in the black Province says its won’t continue to b ail out Ajax and other hospitals By Danielle Milley Staff Writer AJAX –A last minute govern- ment-funding announcement means Rouge Valley Health System won’t end the year in the red for the first time in three years. This week, Ontario Minister of Health George Smitherman announced $385 million in ad- ditional funding to hospitals for 2003/04; of that, Rouge Val- ley receives $3.9 million. “That money, as I under- stand, is to offset our current 03/04 deficit and it should be enough to make sure we are in a break-even or surplus situa- tion for this year,” said Hume Mar tin, president and chief ex- ecutive officer at Rouge Valley. “It’s not targeted at anything other than making sure we aren’t in a deficit situation.” The current fiscal year for hospitals ends March 31. “That was the exact amount we’ve told the min- istry over the past six months that we thought we’d be in a deficit,” he said. “It is Unhappy police unit directs cops to stop some duties By Stephen Shaw Staff Writer DURHAM –The Durham Region- al Police Association has told of- ficers to stop performing duties such as issuing traffic tickets as part of job action to protest an “arcane” management regime led by Chief Kevin McAlpine. Simmering anger and sinking morale among rank-and-file offi- cers boiled over at an association meeting Wednesday that drew an “unprecedented number of mem- bers,” said Police Association president Doug Cavanaugh. “They’re angry and they’ve had enough,” said Mr. Ca- vanaugh, adding 363 of the asso- ciation’s 1,000-plus uniform and civilian members showed up. He said morale has plummet- ed to a new low as a result of de- teriorating labour relations, un- fair and heavy-handed discipli- nary methods and an ongoing, year-long OPP probe into alleged misconduct by ex-members of the drug unit. The suspensions two weeks ago of three former drug squad officers for refusing to give inter- views to OPP investigators was “the final straw,” he said. The DRPA bulletin mailed out Friday states: “all members are to exercise their discretion” with respect to enforcement, such as traffic violations and other provincial offences, to claim any overtime or missed lunches, and to not complete some of their du- ties, such as paperwork. “All members are expected to continue to act in a professional manner and to perform their du- ties arising from a request for as- sistance from the public,” says the bulletin. ✦See Deputy page 5 ✦See Rouge Valley page 4 PHONE ORDERS ACCEPTED HOURS Mon. - Wed. 10-6 Thurs. - Fri. 10-9 Sat. 10-6 Sun. 11-4 40 FACTORY OUTLETS ACROSS ONTARIO INCLUDING...

But if an agreement is reached in the wee hours, it might not call off the walkout, said Ted Montgomery, chair- man of the faculty bargaining team. “If a deal is reached too late on Tuesday, as things stand now, the default position is to strike,” the Seneca College teacher said Friday. “Unless we inform the faculty otherwise, we will be on strike Wednesday morning.” The Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union (OPSEU) represents roughly 8,600 mem- bers at the province’s 24 com- munity colleges. The bargaining team is at- tempting to reach a new collec- tive agreement with manage- ment, represented by the Col- lege Compensation and Ap- pointments Council. The par- ties are stuck on the issues of salary and workload. In a vote last week, 83 per cent of Durham College mem- bers gave their bargaining team a strike mandate, higher than the 75 per cent provincewide figure. A provincially appointed me- diator is to meet with the two sides Monday and Tuesday in Tor onto. Mr. Montgomery says he is expecting a new and im- proved offer from management, and that the mediator will re- quest a communications black- out during the last-ditch effort to avoid a walkout. Bev Balenko, Durham Col- lege’s chief operating officer, has said a strike would shut down the full-time, college day program, but that university classes would continue. That could make for some tension on the picket lines that Peter McKeracher, president of OPSEU Local 354 at Durham College, says would be set up at all campus entrances. He says students would face delays crossing the lines. OPSEU president Leah Cassel- man on Thursday urged all col- lege faculty to respect picket lines if there is a strike, even if it doesn’t directly affect them. Meeting that request would shut down all college classes. “The colleges employ a large number of part-time and ses- sional people who are not part of our bargaining unit,” she stated. “If you are one of those peo- ple, I ask you to honour the picket lines at the colleges and not go in to teach. Another large group of people teach in night school programs and con- tinuing education. On behalf of all of OPSEU, I ask you to hon- our the picket lines set up by faculty.” Durham administration says it will keep students updated with information on the college Web site. The latest bulletin states that post-secondary and appren- ticeship classes at all DC loca- tions would not operate in a strike. Continuing education classes on the Oshawa and Whitby campuses would be postponed. The DC library and Early Learning Centre would remain open and cafeteria services would be available. However the dental clinic would not run. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, February 29, 2004 PAGE 3 P Brock North Dental OPEN EVENINGS & SATURDAY CONTACT US AT 905-427-7773 • DIGITAL X-RAY • INTRA ORAL CAMERA • TV IN OPERATORIES • KIDS PLAY STATION 2 • DIRECT BILLING TO INSURANCE NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS 2200 Brock Road in the Brock North Plaza Dr. Fernandes, Jill, Robbin,Mary, Michele, Michelle, Donna, Vanda, Dr. Pacione, Angie, Angela, Brenda, Dr. Sbaraglia ( Anaesthesiologist) Not Shown - Dr. Dagher (Endodontist), Anna, Julianne Coming Soon-Orthodontist We Welcome All Major Fleet Cards 1735 PICKERING PKWY AT BROCK RD1735 P I C K E R I N G P K W Y A T B R O C K R D 905-686-2309905-686-2309905-686-2309 CANADIAN TIRE AUTO SERVICECANADIAN TIRE AUTO SERVICE Mon - Sat 7:30 am - 6 pm Sun 9 am - 6 pm MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE SHOCKS & STRUTSSHOCKS & STRUTS With purchase of regular priced: • Tune-up • Wheel Alignment • Transmission Fluid Change or or details in service dept.

A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, February 29, 2004 www.durhamregion.com a huge help and we’re very grate- ful.” Mr. Smitherman said this is the last time hospitals are going to re- ceive last-minute funding. As part of the announcement he also said hospitals will be required to sign performance agreements, which are to be developed by the gov- ernment and hospitals. With the agreements, hospitals would have to agree to targets on service delivery and patient vol- ume in return for the level of fund- ing they receive. If a hospital did- n’t meet its targets, fines could be imposed. Mr. Martin and the Rouge Val- ley board of directors were happy to hear about the performance agreements, it’s been something they’ve been lobbying for. “We had asked the ministry a year and a half ago if they would enter into a financial and services agreement with Rouge Valley,” he said. “The ministry said they weren’t in a position to do that at the time so we were delighted when the minister said (Tuesday) that they would do that.” Service agreements should pre- vent the need for year-end adjust- ments to bailout hospitals, Mr. Martin said. In addition to the $3.9 million, Rouge Valley will also share in $50 million in funding for the hiring of full-time nurses. Mr. Martin said its portion is not known yet. As of December, 53 per cent of the hospital’s nursing staff was full-time, which is comparable with the 57 per cent provincewide. Meanwhile there were 2.7 million hours of overtime worked by nurses and hospitals purchased two million hours of triple-time agency nurses. Mr. Smitherman said nurses are the heart of the health-care system and he doesn’t want to see that resource squandered. Mr. Martin said it will be a chal- lenge for the hospital to increase the number of full-time nurses, but it is something officials are going to work hard to accomplish. Rouge Valley likes performance target idea ✦ Rouge Valley from page 1 Put your wheels to use DURHAM –Community Care Durham is looking for some new wheels. Volunteers are needed for the Meals on Wheels program, which rolls Monday to Friday between 11 :30 a.m. and 1 p.m. in both Ajax and Pickering. Volunteers are required to de- liver or pack meals one day a week for approximately an hour. For more information on deliv- ering Meals on Wheels and volun- teering with Community Care Durham, call Joan Hunt at 905- 837-0017 ext. 221. Mr. Cavanaugh said pub- lic safety won’t be jeopar- dized. “Some officers have individually already begun exercising their discretion, which they are lawfully en- titled to do. Some have stopped issuing tickets,” he said Friday. Chief McAlpine is vaca- tioning in Florida and couldn’t be reached. Deputy Chief Chuck Mercier was “taken aback” by the sudden action and promised to meet with DRPA leaders as soon as possible to “clear the air.” In an interview he said he has “full confidence offi- cers will continue to do their jobs in a professional manner,” in spite of the job action. Association executives presented the motion, in- cluding a list of demands, to police brass and the Durham Regional Police Services Board Friday. The motion calls on Chief McAlpine and board members to publicly “show its support for all mem- bers,” including the former drug officers being investi- gated by OPP. The association also wants the chief and the board to address concerns over a Risk Management Policy that “treats the em- ployees of the Durham Re- gional Police Service as a li- ability,” according to the motion. “Unless these issues are resolved, all members are to exercise their discretion while performing their du- ties that do not directly arise from a request for as- sistance from the public,” it states. Doug Moffatt, chairman of the police board, said the risk-management policy protects officers, ensuring they have legal counsel if they are ever charged with a criminal offence in rela- tion to their duties. “I don’t understand where they’re coming from,” said Mr. Moffatt. “This really is opera- tional stuff and we (as board members) don’t nor- mally intervene on that,” Mr. Moffatt said. The association says morale is lower than it was a few years ago when a sur- vey showed 80 per cent of members had no confi- dence in Chief McAlpine. “Unfortunately the auto- cratic, confrontational and disrespectful management regime of Chief McAlpine has succeeded to further damage the already low morale. We are now at a point of serious crisis,” says the DRPA. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, February 29, 2004 PAGE 5 P 195 WESTNEY RD.

Located in Pickering, the centre has been helping students achieve success since 1995. Pr ior to enrolment, each student is assessed using recognized testing tools to establish skill levels and areas of need. The assessment is an interactive one-on-one process with an Ontario Certified teacher. This allows a trained professional to observe the student while performing the test and pinpoint which skill areas in math or language are lacking. The importance of this is relevant as some students are simply not comfortable in testing situations. The results of the assessment are reviewed with the parent and an individualised program is designed for the student. Students who attend Grade Expectations spend a full two hours per week with their instructor. The time is spent on instructing the student from the personalized program, as well as assisting them in their school work. This homework support has become increasingly important in the years since the new Ontario curriculum has been implemented. If students are struggling with a concept presented to them in school, they are encouraged to bring the work to Grade Expectations for assistance. With a maximum of three students in a class, teachers offer the individual instruction and attention that often cannot be supplied by a classroom teacher. The small classroom setting (not an open-concept setting) allows for a quiet place where students can focus on their work.

Editorials &Opinions SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Education deserves some support Investment in colleges makes business sense O ntario's colleges are making a case for improved funding with the Ontario government. One might assume the message is an easy sell to a government elected largely on a pro-education ticket. But it has been made clear in recent weeks that an election promise is only good for the length of time it takes to get nicely settled in the big office. After the first 100 days, all bets are off and the promise takes on chameleon character- istics, bending and twisting to suit the everyday reality of running Ontario on a budget. Mary Anne Chambers, minister of training, colleges and universities, is an admitted novice when it comes to the col- lege system, and a newbie to political office. She has been getting an earful from the college sector which says it is under-funded and in dire need of a cash infusion. Ms. Chambers has her work cut out for her. ACAATO is asking the Province for a multi-year investment program that would see per-student operating funds rise from the current $4,630 to $6,300. Ontario colleges say grant and tu- ition funding per student has dropped over 40 per cent since 19 87-88, adjusted for inflation. In addition, Ontario colleges rank last in revenue per student when compared to other provinces, receiving 70 per cent of the national average. We 're all doing more with less, say critics; so too are the colleges, counters ACAATO. According to the Association, Ontario's colleges have fo- cused on improving productivity in order to continue deliv- ering top-notch programming despite dwindling dollars. Faced with a 43 per cent increase in student enrolment and a 23 per cent decrease in full-time faculty since 1986-87, the colleges are crying "Uncle." Ontario is the economic engine that drives this country. Ontario business and industry relies heavily on the college system to deliver specialized training and education to its workforce. The Province will lose market opportunities if specialized programs in areas such as manufacturing, networking and information technology are not available. It makes good business sense to invest in education. Public transportation in Ajax and Pickering is pretty con- venient right now. That is, unless you are trying to get here by connecting from another bus sys- tem in the region. A reporter with our newspaper group, Carly Foster, recently tested the system and proved that fact. When she reached the Whitby-Ajax border, coming from Oshawa through to Whitby, trying to con- nect with the Ajax-Pickering sys- tem, local transit failed. A trip on a GO bus was needed to cross the border. It doesn't make sense. It's need- lessly complicated. And Durham residents deserve better. So regionwide transit makes sense in principle. Heck, if coun- tries in North America can reach a deal on free trade, why can't like- minded municipalities get togeth- er on a transit system? That said, however, why go so fast? Slow down. It took months of consultations and over a year of lead-time before the Region would implement a strict smoking bylaw. But, when it comes to transit, little to no consultation seems to be nec- essary for most regional politi- cians. Now July 1 is the date for the amalgamation and with much sup- port for it at Durham council, it looks like a done deal. In essence they're ready to throw all the bus systems together and sort out the pieces later. The issue came up for debate this week in Ajax and Pickering when the board of trade brought mayors Dave Ryan of Pickering and Ajax's Steve Parish together. The topic inevitably had to come up as both mayors gave a speech to business leaders. And in scoring the battle, Mayor Parish earned enough points that he could have been declared the unofficial win- ner. It wasn't a knockout, but he made a point that had to hit home for the business people in the room: "The Region took it without any staff report or business case," Mayor Parish said. Mayor Ryan, a staunch support- er of the plan, made some excellent points himself, though. It would be nice to have a user-friendly bus system as he called it. But, he weakened his argument when he said it's an aggressive plan. This is just the kind of issue they don't need to be aggressive with. So, regional politicians, it's not too late. Work towards a new sys- tem for transit in Durham, but do it at a reasonable pace. The Region has some smart cookies working in the offices, with the brains to ana- lyze and work out a proper plan. With a proper plan, it will work out better in the end. David Stell's column appears every other Sunday. E-mail dstell@durhamregion.com. A good idea, but the bus is going too fast David Stell n e w s e d i t o r Pet bylaw one to be proud of To the editor: Recent developments at Pickering council have shown our councillors and the mayor are keeping a vigilant watch over the welfare of our beloved pets. With the new City bylaw and its impact on pet stores across the city, residents can breathe a little easier when it comes to the purchasing of pets. Much too often letters of negativity are generously distributed in regards to what our elected officials are not doing. Well, here is a case of solid proactive action that should make all citizens of Pickering proud. According to animal rights offi- cials, this legislation is the best in On- tario, if not Canada. Congratulations to Councillor Bill McLean and Mayor Dave Ryan and all of the members of council for the positive action in keeping our pets in a safe envi- ronment. Terry James Pickering No good reason for severances To the editor: Re: 'Retiring life pays,' Feb. 20. Who among us is not surprised to read that yet again former politicians who vol- untarily decide to vacate their positions are entitled to severance? What possible reason, or reasons, could there be for extending this practice in these particular situations? Where an employer terminates the employment of an individual through a layoff or through wrongful dismissal, severance is most certainly warranted. When will our governments start act- ing responsibly with our tax dollars in this area? Why am I, and most other private citi- zens, not entitled to severance when we voluntarily move on from our places of employment to accept a position else- where, yet this does not apply to our elected officials?

The college’s communications and marketing department submitted a va- riety of items related to its “A Place for You” positioning statement, including the viewbook, calendar, posters, Web site, and theatre screen campaign. According to a Durham College news release, judges’ comments noted the campaign used a “unique ap- proach” and described it as “inviting, clean and simple.” Another judge com- mended the campaign for its “atten- tion-getting design” and “unique im- agery.” For more information about Durham College, visit the Web site at www.durhamcollege.ca, or call 905-721- 2000.

Too many people believe that dentures are good for over 20 years. Nothing could be further from the truth! The removable prosthesis is made of a hard, rigid material. Your face, mouth and jaw, on the other hand, change over the years. Because it can not adapt to these changes and because artificial teeth wear down with time, a prosthesis cannot do its job effectively for more than about five years. This reality can have devastating consequences that are often invisible and imperceptible to the wearer of a worn-out denture. Here is a short list of the most harmful possible effects suffered by wearers of prothesis more than five years old: • softening of the tissues • painful irritated tissues • more labourious chewing and difficult digestion • headaches, earaches, neck pain and joint problems • sagging mouth, point chin and prematurely old face • accelerated resorption of the bone And this is only a partial list! Ve ry few people maintain their prosthesis properly. Some even neglect to remove it for the night. Don’t take chances with your health! See your denturist annually. When was the last time you saw your denturist? Pickering Denture Clinic offers free consultations.

And they should be. In Canada, heart disease and stroke remain the No. 1 killers of both men and women. Around 400 Durham residents had by- pass surgery last year. Dr. Rakesh Bhargava, a renowned Oshawa cardiolo- gist, spent more than two and a half hours at his Os- hawa clinic recently ex- plaining the anatomy of a heart attack. "(This is) where do I not want to meet my patients," he said, pointing to a photo of a man in a hospital bed after a heart attack. "I would rather educate peo- ple now and not have to meet them." But meet them he does, because of nasty things called blocked arteries. Blocked arteries occur when fat and cholesterol de- posits build up in the coro- nary artery. When the arteries start to clog, they slow the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart. This first stage is called angina, and is accompanied by pain in the chest during exertion. A heart attack occurs when blood clots around the deposits and the blood supply to the heart is se- verely reduced or cut off. And one of the biggest battles Dr. Bhargava and cardiologists everywhere face is teaching people to recognize a heart attack's symptoms. "The tendency is to think it's heart burn, take an antacid and hope it goes away," he said. Plus heart attack symp- toms are different between men and women. One lady in the audience had severe pain between her shoulder blades, an indicator not usually felt by men. But unlike heartburn, a heart attack is usually ac- companied by tons of sweat and nausea, along with chest pain, tightness or heaviness, shortness of breath and dizziness. Getting to the hospital is imperative: Unless blood flow is restored within 30 minutes to several hours, the heart muscle is irre- versibly damaged. "Prompt therapy can make the difference be- tween heart muscle death and heart muscle salvage," Dr. Bhargava said. He outlined various treat- ments for a heart attack, in- cluding bypass surgery, clot dissolving drugs, stents and angioplasty. Risk factors of heart dis- ease include smoking, high cholesterol and blood pres- sure, stress, depression, in- activity, obesity, menopause, diabetes and genetics. "Monitor your weight, don't smoke and check your cholesterol," Dr. Bhargava said. "These are things that don't cost anything." For more information on heart health, visit the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada at www.heartand- stroke.ca. Heart attack signs In 25 per cent of heart at- tacks, there is no chest pain.

Why not send them to one where they can have fun and exercise their body and mind? Now in its third year, Planet Gymnastics is a recreational facility that offers gymnastic classes where kids can have fun, get active and work out their minds. “Gymnastics is an excellent sport for developing your child’s success in other sports and activities,” says Shawn Campbell, Planet Gymnastics co-owner and coach. “It also helps with future ambitions.” Mr. Campbell, who runs the facility with his wife Denise, graduated from Seneca College’s Professional Coaching program, with a concentra- tion on beginner and advanced gym- nastics. He has been a professional gymnastics coach for over 15 years and has trained many champion ath- letes. It was through his studies at Seneca that he discovered the benefits of gymnastics training for kids. It was also when he realized his dream of opening a recreational gymnastics facility. Planet Gymnastics offers a variety of classes, seven days a week, with some- thing for kids as young as 18 months and programs for teens as old as 15. The Parent and Tot program, for exam- ple, is for kids between the ages of 18 months to three years and is a great opportunity for you to have fun and engage in playtime with your child in a unique environment. This class is a great way to improve your child’s physical ability as well as their social skills. For three- to five-year-olds there is Kinder Gymnastics, a class full of fun activities, games and circuits that require preliminary gymnastic skills. In this program they will improve their balance, strength and flexibility and will gain their self-confidence. The Recreational program is for kids over the age of five and it follows the CANGYM level system, which includes all of the gymnastic events. As your child successfully learns increasingly difficult skills, they will progress through the ranks of CANGYM. All Planet Gymnastics instructors ensure that the skills are learned properly before kids progress to the next level. For dancers, cheerleaders, and for kids who are just full of energy, Planet Gymnastics offers Tumble and Bounce trampoline classes. This two-hour class is filled with lots of energy, bouncing and fun. A unique feature about Planet Gymnastics is its equipment. Their cen- tre attraction is a three-storey play cen- tre, with a separate ball pit and spe- cialty training equipment for toddlers. They also have a 40-foot tumbling trampoline, plus equipment that is made especially for kids as well as all the traditional gymnastics equipment such as uneven bars, rings, single bars and balance beams. Classes run throughout the year, including a summer camp, with a spe- cial gold medal presentation held each June. The year is also commemorated with class photos. Not only is Planet Gymnastics a great place where kids can enjoy recreation- al gymnastics, it’s also a great setting for birthday parties. In fact, birthday parties are one of their specialties. “Birthday parties have become very popular,” says Mr. Campbell. “Often they are booked at least three months in advance.” The birthday party gets the entire gym to themselves, with access to the play centre, and participates in a variety of warm-ups and games that are directed by a coach. After a fun-filled activity session, the guests retire to the private party room, which is stocked with all the necessities for chowing down (i.e. dishes, cutlery etc.). There are a vari- ety of birthday packages to choose from. To learn more about Planet Gymnastics visit them at 1755 Plummer Rd., Unit #8, or contact them at 905-839-7669.

Left, life is one big blur when you’re young, as these members of the Whitby minor bunnies, in White, and the Oshawa Storm prove. More than 2,000 ringette players descended on Ajax last weekend for one of the biggest tournaments in Ontario. The 32nd Annual Ajax Silver Ring Ringette Tournament was a hit with all involved. Above, a Whitby player breaks for the net, while an Ajax defender does her best to break up the play. The two teams, also right, were meeting in the Novice C final Sunday, with Whitby coming out on top 8-6.

Clarke Richardson Storm won the final of its LOSSA junior boys’ hockey final, Thursday. Celebrating with the championship trophy after winning the best-of-three series, from left, are Andrew Taylor, team Captain Chris Eyles and goaltender Jeff Thatcher. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Pickering High and St. Mary to cross sticks again By Paul Futhey Staff Writer PICKERING –It's an all-west- ern final in LOSSA boys' hockey - again. For the second year in a row, the Pickering High School Trojans and St. Mary Monarchs will face off in a best-of-three AAA final, with the Trojans looking to defend their title and the Monarchs eager to start their own reign. The final start this week, but the day and time had not been determined at press time. Pickering coach Lou Manserra said the key against St. Mary will be for his players to know their individual as- signments. "Worry about your own job, let the others do theirs," he said. "They have something they want to prove." Pickering swept Anderson in two straight games to reach the final. In Monday's Game 2, Patrick Milne's goal with 1.5 seconds remaining on the clock gave the Trojans a 6-5 win and a berth in the final. Pickering had trailed 4-1 heading into the final period. For Manserra, the intermis- sion between the second and third came in handy as it al- lowed his team to regroup. "If it's a quick start, you look to maintain it," he said, noting Anderson was playing desper- ate hockey. "If it's a slow start, you're looking to change things around. We could have easily been playing a third game." Anderson coach Chris Or- danis, after watching Picker- ing's strong transition game pick his club apart in Game 1, said his club's final game was a marked improvement. Ulti- mately, though, it wasn't good enough. "We almost had the wall down," Ordanis said. "They (the Trojans) deserve it, though." While the season end was disappointing, Ordanis did take solace in the overall sea- son. "We're happy," he said, refer- ring to his own club's season. "But we're not satisfied." Meanwhile, the other East- ern Division threat to make the final, Eastdale Collegiate, fell in three games to St. Mary, losing the rubber match 3-1 Thursday. Eastdale coach Josh French saw his team ran up against a hot Monarchs goaltender in the third game, as Matt Thompson secured a 2-1 lead until a late goal iced the victory for St. Mary. "They took advantage of a couple more opportunities than we did," French said of the Monarchs. "You tip your hat and move on." The Eagles had forced a third game with a 4-1 win in Oshawa Tuesday in Game 2. Monarchs set to face Trojans for LOSSA gold Registration for senior games begins in March DURHAM –Those over 55 and living in Durham can take part in the Durham Region Senior Games, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Let the games begin Nets two game winners to lead the way PICKERING —The Picker- ing Panthers minor pee- wee select hockey team came home winners at the Richmond Hill Select tour- nament recently. After having lost to Clar- ington in quadruple over- time in the final of the Nor th Toronto Select Tournament, held over the Christmas break, the Richmond Hill crown was a sweet victory savoured by the squad. The Panthers faced a strong Barrie team in the f inal. Cody Harding emerged as the hero for Pickering, scoring the game winner with five min- utes remaining in regula- tion time to lift the Pan- thers to a 3-2 victory. Tim Kropman and Ryan Hof- mann also scored. Harding came up big again for the Panthers in the semifinal clash against the host Richmond Hill peewees. With the score tied 2-2 after regulation and the teams playing 3- on-3 in overtime, Harding stepped up to score the game winner. Harding and Kropman scored in regula- tion time. The Panthers went un- defeated in three round- robin games. In game one, the Pickering peewees edged Clarington 2-1. Kropman and Adam Goodwin scored. In game two, Pickering managed a 5-3 victory over Av enue Road. Jordon De- Silva netted a pair of goals; Josh Spitzer, Jesse Aldridge and an empty netter by Kyle Adams rounded out the scoring. Goodwin chipped in with three assists. Pickering closed out round-robin play with a 4-2 win over South-East Lon- don. Pickering trailed by two goals before scoring four unanswered markers to post the come-from-be- hind victory. Kropman led the way with two goals; Harding and DeSilva added one apiece. Goalies Justin Watson and Tyler Welsh played well all weekend and were supported by the superb defensive play of Kyle Dwyer, Chris Halket, Ryan Hofmann, Marco Pompilii, Kevin Thompson and Brandon Wippler. Rounding out the team are forwards Billy Desroches, Greg Fowler and Ryan Tsukamoto. Andre Wippler coaches the team, assisted by Phil Watson, Steve Hofmann, and trainer Brian Thomp- son. The manager is Scott Goodwin.

Check Wednesday’s paper each week for complete details Harding a hero for Pickering selects It’s Miller time in the pool Pickering swimmer earns gold at Eastern Canadians PICKERING – Six Pickering swimmers didn’t let a bliz- zard ruin their focus last weekend in Halifax. They were part of the 13- member Scarborough Swim Club team that jour- neyed to the 2004 Eastern Nationals Championship just ahead of the blizzard that delayed the competi- tion for two days. Organiz- ers crammed the meet into the weekend so all events went straight to fi- nals with qualifying times based on results from all heats. Kur tis Miller, 18, a Cana- dian record holder, blasted out of the blocks with a gold medal in the 100- metre backstroke, fol- lowed by a silver medal in the 200m backstroke. He also placed fourth in the 50m freestyle. Warren Barnes, 18, came through with a silver medal in the 100m breast- stroke and a bronze in the 200m. Daniel Langlois, 15, also did well. He won silver in the 100m backstroke and placed fifth in the 200m. He captured a bronze medal in the gruelling 1,500m freestyle and placed eight in the 200m freestyle. The women also did well, led by Laura Barnes, 15 , and her bronze in the 100m breaststroke and seventh in the 200m. Sarah Wolch, 15, and Vanessa Wappel, 15, put together a string of per- sonal best swims over the weekend. Both Wolch and Wappel shaved two sec- onds off their previous best times in the 200m breaststroke. The team came home with a total of seven medals.
