She is insisting the Region help find a long-term solution to the Oshawa hostel’s financial woes. “We are prepared to give back the $105,000 if it means opening the doors to only have them close again in August or September,” Ms. Blythe, the executive director of the YWCA Durham, which operates the hostel, told Regional Council on May 9. Adelaide House closed its doors on April 1 because of a lack of fund- ing and an inadequate per diem from the Province. Council voted to give the YWCA $105,000 in one-time emergency funding, conditional on the YWCA agreeing to undergo a joint opera- tional review. Ms. Blythe explained to coun- cil the YWCA board of directors agreed to co-operate, but wanted some concerns noted. It wants a clear time frame for the review, a commitment for increased finan- cial support from the Region within the per diem structure, and clear guidelines regarding the Region’s expectations for the hostel’s re- opening. “We are willing to work with the Region,” Ms. Blythe said in an in- terview. “We have asked the Region for years and years to help us. As far as we are concerned this is a step in the right direction, but it has to be a process that recognizes this is time sensitive.” She claims council got stuck on the YWCA reserving the right to give back the $105,000. “This is a partnership process that is supposed to lead to recom- mendations that go forward to the Province,” she explained. “If this is going to be a long and drawn out THE FAMILY THAT FISHES TOGETHER...

Oshawa Councillor April Cullen, chair- woman of the Region’s health and social services committee, said she thinks council did the right thing. But, she is disappointed the YWCA seems to be digging its heels in. “I think it is unfortunate because the issue is to re-open,” Coun. Cullen said. “I don’t want to see this become a philosophical battle. I want this to be about keeping women and children off the street.” The operational review will give the Region the ammunition it needs to really tell the tale of the lack of social services funding from the Province, she said.

Among the allegations are claims the executive improperly intercepted or viewed members’ e-mails. Tom Andrews, president of the po- lice association, is downplaying the accusations, blaming the most recent turbulence on lingering animosity left over from a hotly-contested election last fall. “The election is continuing to go on,” he said Friday, after members of the association announced they’d called in the RCMP to investigate their allegations. In a statement released to media earlier this week the rebel members said they’d become concerned about activities at the executive level and had contacted the RCMP with findings of an internal report. The members have asked the Mounties to look into “possible criminal improprieties,” the statement said. Mr. Andrews said he hadn’t been contacted by the RCMP but that in the event he was, he would co-operate with any investigation. “Do I give any weight to (the allega- tions)? No,” Mr. Andrews said Friday morning. “I have done nothing wrong and the executive have done nothing wrong.” Mr. Andrews, who took the helm of the 1,100 member association last fall, has dealt with internal strife through- out his tenure. In February he attempt- ed to have a number of board members removed, a bid that was not successful. He blames the strife at least in part on last fall’s presidential election, a bit- terly-fought affair that he said has left lasting ill feelings. Some members are also resistant to proposed changes in the way the association conducts inter- nal business, Mr. Andrews said. He vowed to carry on with efforts to introduce change and to represent the membership. Attempts to reach the of- ficer who released the statement alleg- ing wrongdoing were unsuccessful. - with files from Izabela Jaroszynski Strife within Durham’s police union durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 4 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, MAY 13, 2007 NE053G307 ©2007.

RE/MAX First Broker-Owners Ron Gordon, Brian O’Donoghue and John Moniz received the coveted award for “Top Contributing Offi ce – Sold on a Cure 2006.” RE/MAX First boasts 100 per cent agent participation in Sold on a Cure, a program that allows real estate professionals to donate a portion of the proceeds of each home sold to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation – Ontario Chapter. “I was totally thrown off guard when they called our name,” says Gordon. “Our participation in this program is 100 per cent voluntary. Most of us know someone who has been touched by breast cancer. It’s the least that we can do for our family, our friends, and our community.” In addition to “Sold on a Cure,” real estate professionals with RE/MAX First participate in “Run for the Cure” as well as “Yard Sale for the Cure.” Their philanthropic endeavors are well-known in the community. They also are fi rm supporters of Sick Kids through Children’s Miracle Network and the RE/MAX Miracle Home Program. “Woven into the very fabric of our organization is a deep commitment to philanthropy,” says Michael Polzler, Executive Vice President and Regional Director, RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada. “RE/MAX First encapsulates that strong dedication, always going above and beyond.

Bill 212 would allow appeal of one-day suspensions By Crystal Crimi ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Potential changes to expulsion pro- cedures have some trustees worried they won’t have enough time and people to deal with ap- peals. The latest amendment to the Education Act, Bill 212, involves more requirements for expelling and suspending students, trustees heard at the Durham District School Board’s May 7 standing committee meeting. The bill’s first reading was on April 17. “O ne of the biggest changes pertains to what happens after a principal investigates a serious dis- ciplinary situation,” said Craig Burch, the board’s director of education. After the principal investigates, they’ll have to make a recommendation to the board through the superintendent on what type of expulsion should be received. Currently, principals have the right to expel a student for one year, but the changes will require them to go through an expulsions commit- tee. Suspensions of one to 20 days can also be ap- pealed under the changes; currently one-day sus- pensions cannot. The appeals would have to be held within 10 school days - right now it’s 20. Mr. Burch said the time frame might require changes to procedures because of the time involved in prepar- ing hearing reports. Whitby Trustee John Dolstra said he’s concerned over the one-day suspensions, and added the Prov- ince seems to think they have all sorts of time to deal with issues. “There’s all kinds of people on this board that work for a living,” said Trustee Dolstra. “If this is going to happen, we may need another trustee in Whitby because there won’t be enough trustees on this board to deal with the issues.” Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper said in her first 10 years as a trustee, she remembers three ex- pulsions, but since the Safe Schools Act came into effect, there’s been many more. She added princi- pals will have to think more about expulsions now and she’s not sure if the fewer expulsions trend will return. As for the one-day suspensions, she doesn’t know how they’ll deal with their appeals. “I just don’t know how that’s going to work,” said Trustee Hopper of staffing levels. There could also be less of a penalty for more serious offences because of the micro-managing involved and principals having to go through the board to discipline, she said. Uxbridge Trustee Joe Allin was not as worried. “I just suspect something of an overreaction,” said Trustee Allin. “I don’t know why we’re think- ing there will be a high portion of one-day suspen- sion appeals.” He said prior to the changes in the Education Act, under the umbrella of safe schools, one-day suspensions were appealable. Other changes include boards no longer being able to expel students from all public boards, said Mr. Burch. “However, a board can admit an ex- pelled student from another school board and then place that student in a program for expelled students, like our Return Ticket,” said Mr. Burch. He added the onus seems to be on receiving boards to discover if they’re admitting an expelled student. The Province is also promising money so school boards can provide programs for expelled and suspended students. That money is expected to be in place by Feb. 1, 2008. It’s not expected to change the board’s Return Ticket, said Mr. Burch. The Bill also says incidents off school property or out of regular school hours can involve school discipline if it upsets the school climate. The school board is still allowed to have a three- trustee expulsion committee, said Mr. Burch. “In my view trustees, there will be more suspen- sion appeal hearings and expulsion hearings for trustees,” said Mr. Burch. “Not only will this likely increase trustee workload, but the number of re- ports for school principals may also increase their own workload.” Mr. Burch said as of a conference call amongst school boards that morning, they felt a reasonable delay for its implementation would be past Jan. 1 because school calendars include discipline pro- cedures and would need to be changed.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Cancer centre of fers top health care in Durham It was an awful long time coming, but the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Centre finally opened for full ra- diation treatments on May 7. The centre, paid for through many successful Cash for Can- cer lotteries and with a healthy infusion of tax dollars, now sits majestically at the Lakeridge Health Oshawa site. Centrally located in Durham Region just outside of down- town Oshawa, the centre will be able to treat as many as 60 patients per day when it adds a third radiation unit next month. The current set-up includes two units but the plan is to eventu- ally expand to seven units. What having the cancer centre here means is that those re- quiring treatment east of Toronto and west of Belleville will no longer have to make the trek into the Big Smoke or travel all the way to Kingston to get the care they require. The construction of the facility is a realization on the part of the Province that Durham’s growth requires first-class medi- cal facilities capable of looking after the needs of our citizens. Based on the expansion plans with respect to radiation units, it’s clear the centre will develop as our population ages and increases. As Dr. Peter Dixon, vice-president of cancer services at Lak- eridge Health notes, “the incidence of cancer in Durham is increasing rapidly.” That makes the opening of the centre very timely. There were plenty of battles fought over the years surround- ing the location, cost and timeliness of the centre. Some hom- eowners in the area didn’t want the centre located in Alexandra Park and were successful in having it built on the existing Lak- eridge site. The centre was originally scheduled to open several years ago and was forecast to cost less than it ultimately did. In the end, many people worked extremely hard to make the centre a reality. Volunteers put in time working to make it happen, plenty of lottery tickets were purchased to help pay for it and now, those who need it, will be able to use it. It’s a proud moment for Durham Region and one that will be celebrated in style at the grand opening on May 30. Trip to Europe not necessary To the editor: Re: May 6 ‘Trip ill advised’ editorial. So now they are going to Europe again! Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Italy -- wow! If I may be so bold as to ask a personal question: Are they going alone or are they taking their wives or husbands with them? Please forgive me for asking. This reminds me of the old saying that one can steal a piano and carry it away under your arm, but if you try to cram it into your pocket you are bound to get caught. It’s a pity that other Canadian cities are so backward that we have to send a large delegation to Italy to study their technol- ogy. Enjoy your trip ladies and gentlemen. And, please, don’t work too hard on that long arduous adventure. Perhaps you will discover new technology that will help us avoid cutting school and hospital budgets in future. We will be praying for you. Logan Woodman Whitby E ach year around Mother’s Day (yes, slackers, that’s a reminder: it’s today. Get thee to a flow- er shop), website salary.com issues a statement of the monetary value of the stay-at-home mom. This year is no exception. The website surveyed more than 40,000 mothers, determined the time mothers spend performing 10 typical job functions and came to the con- clusion that the average stay-at-home mom’s work is worth over $138,000. By comparison, a working mom’s paycheque for what she does at home should be about $86,000, said the web- site. The working mom vs. stay-at-home mom debate has raged for eons. It was an issue when I was a child in the 1970s and my mother worked (and was/is a darn fine mother, thankyouv- erymuch) and frankly, I was surprised to find it remained an issue when I first became a mom five years ago. I would have thought we’d have worked out by now that everything the women who came before us left us with was the best possible situation: the choice to do what we wanted to do, without being judged as lesser or greater. The type of information -- as sim- plistic and unrefined as it is -- put for- ward by information sources like salary. com tends to add fuel to the debate. It insinuates that a mom who works is somehow less valuable or is somehow doing less than a mom who stays home with her children. Any of us who have taken on the role of mother know that, no matter how you do it, if you’re doing it right, it’s a hard job. It’s a hard job whether you work outside the home or whether you stay home with your children. Many of the challenges are very much the same. The job titles matching a stay-at- home mom’s definition of her work, in order of hours spent per week, said sal- ary.com, are as follows: housekeeper, day-care centre teacher, cook, comput- er operator, janitor, facilities manager, van driver, CEO and psychologist. Those jobs are done by working moms, too, though due to time con- straints, they have no choice but to hire some of those jobs out at their own expense. As well, I would argue -- based on my own personal experience, of course (hi, honey!) -- that the spouse of a mom who works outside the house ought to have additional value assigned to their role, since they often help pick up the slack. The worth of the role could be ar- gued back and forth ad nauseam, but, instead, I think it should be left at this: the role of the mother -- working or home with the children -- tends to be undervalued in our society. Being a good mom, no matter whether you receive a paycheque from an outside source or not, is no easy job. It would be absolutely impossible to put a real dollar value on it: a good mother is priceless. And good mothers come in an array of forms, including stay-at-home and working.

Jennifer Stone staff writer You just can’t replace a good mom Summer is a fantastic time in the life of a student. It’s a break from the normal routine: sleeping in, extend- ed bedtimes, and no homework— it’s a time when the normal rules don’t apply. Do you remember that old saying: no more school, no more books, no more teachers...well, you know how the rest goes. It’s time to rethink that saying, especially the no more books part. Did you know that students who take a total break from learning dur- ing the summer months could lose up to 40% of their learning momen- tum? Research has proven it - that’s why it’s so important to include education in your summer plans. Take stock of this past school year. Did your child encounter any academic obsta- cles? Summer is the perfect time to not only catch up in those problem areas but to get ahead. Don’t ex- clude summer school from your summer planning because of any stereotypes you may have. Summer learning is an oppor- tunity, not an obsta- cle. There is typically less pressure and your child can get the individual attention th t h h not get throughout the school year. But if school doesn’t fi t into your summer plans, there are plenty of activities to do at home that keep the learning momentum going—because little minds that stay sharp over the sum- mer are ready to jump right back into the swing of things when fall arrives.

Oshawa Councillor John Henry made a motion at the May 9 meeting to have Re- gional Council start at 9 a.m. Meetings currently start at 10 a.m. But, since Durham Region Transit com- mittee meetings have been added to the rotation, Coun. Henry said there is no reason not to start council earlier. “We can improve the flow of meetings,” he said. “When we start our meetings at 10 a.m. we just get on a roll and then we break for lunch.” Oshawa Mayor John Gray agreed. “We are coming up on some long meet- ings and I think a 9 a.m. start time makes sense,” he said. Region staff will now draw up a bylaw reflecting the time change that is to be voted upon by Regional councillors at a future meeting.

The online report, which tells Ontarians how well the province’s cancer system is working, says cancer treat- ment wait times and quality are improving. But screen- ing rates have stalled and more needs to be done to support people dying of the disease. Some report highlights: - Smoking rates continue to decline, however Ontar- ians remain at risk in other areas that are important tar- gets for cancer prevention, such as obesity. - Breast and cervical screening have stalled to about 80 per cent and 60 per cent respectively and more needs to be done to seek out and support vulnerable women with screening. - Wait times for radiation and cancer surgery are con- tinually improving, while chemotherapy wait times remain largely unchanged over the last three years. - The number of people diagnosed with cancer in Ontario is expected to grow by three per cent each year, however survival is improv- ing for patients with three of the four most common cancers -- breast, cervical and colorectal. According to the report, progress is also happening at the local level. - The new Durham Re- gion R.S. McLaughlin Can- cer Centre will begin treat- ing patients with radiation therapy in May, followed by chemotherapy in June. - The new cancer centre saw an increase in com- plete pathology reports and is now exceeding provincial targets.

When times get tough that is one of the areas that gets cut back.” The Region of Durham runs a road net- work of 832 centre line kilometres, 2,115 lane kilometres and 211 bridges and culverts. Of it, 13 per cent is rated as being in critical and 13 per cent in poor condition. According to Mr. Curtis, that’s why roads were made a priority by Regional council about five years ago. “I pitched it fairly hard when I took the commissioner’s job,” he said. “It wasn’t being paid attention to at the level it needed to be.” Maintaining roads is an extremely expen- sive endeavour, according to Mr. Curtis. Prop- erty tax funding for roads has increased from $5 million in 1998 to $25 million in 2007. “The remainder comes from development charges or contributions from developers,” he said. “S ometimes we will do work for developers in conjunction with our road programs at 100 per cent their cost.” The Region is asking the provincial govern- ment to provide the same level of funding as last year, $10.8 million, but Mr. Curtis said he isn’t counting on that money. “We will see, but I think that was a one- time deal. But, it never hurts to ask,” Mr. Cur- tis said. The proposed 2007 road program gives pri- ority to expansion projects in four major cor- ridors: Taunton Road, Harmony Road, Brock Road and Bayly/ Victoria/ Bloor streets. “They aren’t the worst off but they are fairly heavy commuter routes. They are fairly choked with traffic and need to be widened,” Mr. Curtis said. Of the $41.8 million capital road program, 45 per cent of the funding is targeted for major construction projects and 25 per cent for the construction of six major road expan- sion projects and two bridges. Topping out the large construction projects is nearly $9 million on three separate projects on Taunton Road and a $7-million project on Victoria Street (South Blair Street – east of Thickson Road). Despite best efforts to try to maintain the Regional Roads Mr. Curtis said they are slip- ping a bit. But, looking ahead, he said roads will continue to be a priority through to 2011 with the total capital budget for 2008 to 2011 set at $200 million. To achieve these annual contributions the roads reserve must increase, growth forecasts need to be achieved and the cost of capital projects can’t materially exceed current esti- mates. According to Mr. Curtis, an annual invest- ment of $16 million is required to sustain Durham’s roads and prevent further decline in overall condition, although this year’s bud- get proposes a $10 million investment. “I think we have generally good political support for that program,” he said. The financing study projects the road reha- bilitation program will receive $16 million in funding by 2011. The maps supplied by Durham region’s works department show road work planned in the future for Taunton Road, above, Harmony Road South, top right and Bayly Street, middle right.

Sears Canada has what teens need to up their glam quotient to look their absolute best for that special evening at prices they and their par- ents can afford. “Starlets walking the red carpets of award shows are often the inspiration behind many prom looks,” says Ingrid Gysbers, National Merchandise man- ager and resident style expert, Sears Canada. “The prom dresses you will see at Sears this year are elegant, contemporary, glamorous and offer the perfect amount of sex appeal.” Strapless gowns, halter necklines, rhinestone and bead detailing, fit- ted bodices, flowing fabrics and bold new colours are the highlight of this spring’s collection. Prom 2007 is all about colour. Bubble gum pink, dark turquoise, yellow, mint and coral, are this season’s fresh new hues.” Strapless and spaghetti strap dresses continue to be a hit with girls. “They look great on most body types, and have elegance about them that make them very appealing for special oc- casions,” adds Gysbers. “What’s also great about these dresses is that you can accessorize them any way you like.” You can wear a pair of dazzling chandelier earrings, or a pendant necklace, or you can choose to go simple and wear no jewellery. A fabulous pair of shoes is a great way to jazz up an otherwise simple dress. Girls love to look feminine and pretty. Ribbons, sashes and tulle skirts make a big impact. “Tulle is so romantic and one of the hottest trends today,” says Gysbers. A simple ribbon tied at the waist accentuates the waist and adds another romantic touch to dresses. Sears Jessica offers a black and white polka-dot strapless gown that falls just below the knee with tulle de- tailing at the hem and a satin ribbon at the waist for $100. Many of this year’s formal gowns are glammed up with floral appliqués, beading, and rhinestone detailing. “This is a special night and girls want to look opulent and they want to spar- kle when they enter a room. Dresses that have that bit of glitter make them feel glamorous and extra special,” says Gysbers. High fashion doesn’t need to be out of reach for prom-goers; Sears offers these looks and more for girls starting at $80 through stores nation wide, online and through the Seas 2007 Spring and Summer catalogue.

Products such as those made by Lush Fresh Hand- made Cosmetics are now popular with eco-celebs such as Darryl Hannah, for their commitment to environmentally responsible products. “Since Lush Cosmetics came on the scene 10 years ago, its philosophy has always been based on eth- ics and having the least amount of impact on the environment while still producing effective beauty products, says Erika Edwards, spokesperson for Lush. “ Our handmade products are 100% vegetar- ian, 74% vegan, 65% preservative-free, and 58% are free from wasteful packaging. The brand also has a very strict no animal testing policy, supports Fair Trade programs and rewards customers who reuse and recycle Lush shopping bags. All of this adds up to a very loyal customer-base. More and more people are shifting their lifestyle to make ethical choices, such as buying Fair Trade Coffee, walking a few blocks to pick up milk rather than drive their car, and shopping at Lush Cosmet- ics for products because of their effectiveness and eco-conscious philosophy. You don’t have to be a celebrity to take hold of this eco-trend, the world is changing and is making it easy to be green. It’s hip to be green! By News Canada Voice concerns over future Pickering airport at authority’s public meeting By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — An anti-Pickering-airport group has officially offered alternatives to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. Before the GTAA’s annual public meeting on May 9, members of the Pickering-based anti-airport group, Land Over Landings, ral- lied in front of the Westin Bristol Place Hotel in Toronto. “We want to bring to the GTAA’s attention that there are alternatives to building an air- port in Pickering,” said Sharon Powell, Land Over Landings member. In 1972, the federal government expropri- ated more than 18,000 acres of farmland in Pickering for the future construction of an international airport. To this date, no official decision on the proposed airport has been made. The group’s mission is to stop evictions on the airport lands, ensure survival of heri- tage homes and communities and to pro- vide alternate ideas for land usage. On behalf of the group, Ms. Powell pre- sented Warren C. Hurren, GTAA chairman of the board, with a letter suggesting the alternatives at the question and answer pe- riod of the meeting. It stated the busiest airport in the world, the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, accommodated nearly 85 million international, domestic and in-transit pas- sengers in 2006 (information was pulled from its website). On the GTAA website, Land Over Land- ings members found the passenger load at To ronto Lester B. Pearson International Air- port accommodated just under 30 million in 2005. It projects upwards of 50 million passengers by 2020. “We believe that your business case is using inaccurate data and should be updated to reflect actual usage,” the letter said. The group suggested the GTAA take lessons from Atlanta’s airport to make Toronto Pearson more ef- ficient so a new one won’t be required. The letter also advised a more prudent plan of action would be to partner with the Hamilton and Waterloo international air- ports. This, members believe, will allow all par- ties to share revenue generated by diverted air traffic to those centres. “The Oshawa airport is also grossly unde- rused,” Ms. Powell said. She said all these airports have great transportation networks already available. The letter ended with the statement: “Let’s work together to achieve both the goal of efficiently handling increased air traffic and of preserving precious farmland and green space for future generations.” Scott Armstrong, a GTAA representative, said “we always appreciate when there are attendees” at the meetings. He also said Mr. Hurren will consider the information in the letter. Land Over Landings member Peter Ro- drigues lives close to the Pickering airport lands. He said he attended the meeting to heighten awareness of the problems the airport could cause. “They say they haven’t finalized plans, but by all indications, it’s certainly under way and will probably be built shortly,” he said. Mr. Armstrong said the earliest a final de- cision on the airport will be made is 2009. Mr. Rodrigues listed a number of reasons he thinks the proposed airport is a bad idea: local agricul- ture is needed; it will cause noise; pollution; and the Seaton lands will be overwhelmed. He also listed the positive aspects of Pickering, namely that it contains aquifers, great farmland, heritage and First Nations sites. “It’s the last farmland of its kind from here to the East Coast,” Ms. Powell said. “I don’t know how we’re going to feed Toronto. What’s going to happen to us if they close the borders?” She also said the area is extremely envi- ronmentally sensitive and “to put the most toxic form of transportation, an airport, on this land is just ludicrous.” Ms. Powell said a number of people ap- plauded her statements at the meeting and thought the protest was very positive, espe- cially since some people requesting infor- mation at the rally were from Pickering. She also said the group’s experience with Mr. Hurren was positive, and stated he agreed to meet with Land Over Landings at a future date.

Annandale was represented by the Tim March rink, with vice Rob Bushfield vice, second Pat Janssen second, and lead Tyler Anderson in the junior men’s event. The Lesley Pyne rink, with Sta- cey Hogan, Leahanne Legrow, and Jackie Clark, represented the Ajax-based club in the junior women’s draw. Most of the top 12 Ontario ju- nior men and women’s teams were competing. The events were a round robin draw with two pools of six teams, and the top three qualified from each pool. March skipped his team to the main event semi-final where they were sidelined. The Lesley Pyne rink had the same result as the March men’s team, ending in the semi-final, but did compile a better record in the round robin, winning four of its five games. Paul Bourque and Alex Bian- chi coach the March team; Ray Legrow coaches the Pyne rink. ••• Ajax resident Bob Turcotte is off to another Canadian Mixed Championship, but it’ll be a while before he hits the ice for a chance at a national title. The championship takes place in Calgary from Nov. 10 to 18. Ontario had so many conflicts with competitive curlers in the men’s and ladies’ events in the fall, that this timing has been in place for a number years. On April 15, the Turcotte team took the Ontario title, and this victory sends Turcotte on his fourth visit to the Canadian fi- nals. Turcotte previously competed at the Canadian mixed finals in 1990 in Rimouski, 1992 in Grande Prairie, and 1999 in Victoria, but has yet to capture the title. Turcotte curls from the Scar- boro Golf and Country Club and is teamed with his wife Kris- tin, Roy Weigand, and Andrea Lawes. Pickering pitcher ready to take the mound in Florida Kotchie signs on to play at Lake-Sumter Community College By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — After playing with the Ontario Prospects base- ball team at a showcase event in Florida in March, Pickering’s Kyle Kotchie liked the state so much, he decided to stay there to begin his college career . The lanky 18-year-old south- paw will take the mound for the Lake-Sumter Community College Lakers men’s baseball team this fall after signing on for a two-year athletic scholarship at the Lees- burg, Fla. campus. Kotchie was introduced to Lake-Sumter assistant coaches Rich Billings and Josh Holt while a member of the Ontario Pros- pects under-18 team at a spring training tournament at the Dis- ney complex in Orlando. And, it wasn’t long after the introduction that the pitcher/first baseman was on his way to the Sunshine State. “They saw me pitch on the March break, came up to me after and we talked for half and hour. Four days later on my 18th birth- day I was signed,” says Kotchie. Kotchie says the Lake-Sumter coaches were sold on adding an- other left hander to their pitching arsenal this fall, especially one with the ability to throw a fast- ball in the high 80-miles-an hour range. The Lakers already have two left-handed hurlers on their staff. The Lakers play in the Nation- al Junior College Athletic Asso- ciation’s Division 1 Mid-Florida Conference, competing against community colleges throughout Florida. The league plays two sea- sons each year: one in the spring from January until April and an- other in the fall. Upon visiting the campus in Leesburg, Kotchie came away impressed not only with the fa- cilities, but also with the coaches and with the area. “I liked the fact it reminded me of home because it’s not that big,” says Kotchie, a Grade 12 student at Pine Ridge Secondary School. “I’m looking forward to the weather down there. I love warm weather and by the time there’s really hot weather down there, I’ll be coming back for the summer.” As for assistant coaches Billings and Holt, says Kotchie, they were also a big reason why he opted to begin his collegiate career at Lake-Sumter. “They’re young, down-to-earth guys. When I was asking them questions they gave me straight answers,” he says. Kotchie says he’s grateful to the Ontario Prospects organization, led by former major leaguers Rich and Rob Butler out of the Home Run Baseball Academy in Ajax. In addition to the showcase event in Orlando, Kotchie also attended the Perfect Game Showcase in Fort Myers, Fla. over the Christ- mas break. He’s played a dual role with the Ontario Prospects team as a pitcher and first baseman for the past two years, playing with the 18-year-old squad as an un- derage player at age 16 and 17. “Without them nothing would have happened or it would have been a lot harder for things to happen,” he says. As it’s a two-year program at Lake-Sumter, Kotchie says his plan is to transfer to a four-year program at a university at the end of the two years there. “That’s what I hope for,” he says. This summer, Kotchie plans to stay active in preparation for his college debut in September. He’ll pitch for the Pine Ridge Pumas baseball team until June as well as playing for the Ontario Pros- pects team and for the Pickering Red Sox midget ‘AAA’ squad. While attending Lake-Sum- ter Community College, Kotchie plans to take a business adminis- tration course. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Pickering’s Kyle Kotchie will take his left-handed pitching arm to Leesburg, Florida in the fall after signing on for a scholarship with Lake-Sumter Commu- nity College. In two years, he hopes to transfer to a U.S. university that offers Division 1 baseball. Durham Whiz Kids athletes fare well in Oakville AJAX — A Durham Whiz Kids Gymnastics Club athlete reached the top of the podium at the re- cent 2007 Men’s Artistic Gymnas- tics’ Provincial Championships in Oakville. Marc LePage, competing in the Provincial Level 1, 13-years and over category, achieved the high- est combined score in Ontario. As well as placing first all-around in his division, LePage also won gold on vault and high bar and earned silvers on rings and parallel bars. Fellow Whiz Kids Ryan DelGen- io and Nicholas O’Neill also had strong showings at the champion- ships, recording fifth- and ninth- place finishes, respectively. Del- Genio won silver on pommels and bronze on vault. Whiz Kids’ coach Shawn Durant was delighted to see all of their hard work pay off. “Those boys work very hard in practice and have definitely earned their tremendous results, it always feels great to be rewarded for the effort you invest,” he said. As provincial champion, LePage is invited to a Champions’ Break- fast hosted by Gymnastics Ontario at Canada’s Wonderland this sum- mer.
