Maybe you’ve lived here for de- cades and just want to put up a fence or ask a question about your tax bill. No matter who you are, chances are you’re going to need a little help from city hall at one time or another. And you should get it — after all, they’re here to serve you, the taxpayer. But are they doing a good job? We decided to find out. Over the past month, reporters from Metroland Durham Region Media Group phoned and visited city halls in Oshawa, Whitby, Clar- ington, Ajax and Pickering. They asked common questions, requested popular documents and kept track of who delivered, how long it took and the quality of service. We also asked a focus group to compare municipal websites and we took stock of municipal as- sets like buildings, vehicles, sports fields and community programs to compare who’s getting the best value for their tax dollars. Check out Part 1 on Page 7 today, and keep reading for the next four Wednesdays as we ask, “Are you being served?” Checking up on city hall Student heading home after international ordeal By Kim Downey kdowney@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — An Oshawa high school stu- dent involved in a shoplifting incident in Hong Kong that drew national attention should be on a flight home within a day or so, says her father. The 15-year-old R.S. McLaughlin Col- legiate student pleaded guilty Tuesday to shoplifting sunglasses from an airport kiosk, and charges related to the theft were dropped. The incident occurred last Saturday as the teen was at the airport on her way home from a March break trip to Hong Kong and China. Accused of trying to steal the designer glasses from the airport kiosk, the girl was stopped by authorities at the airport and not allowed to board the plane home with the other students and chaperones. The trip, organized through the school tour company Explorica, drew 43 students from three Dur- ham-area schools. “She pleaded guilty and the criminal charges were dropped. It’s all done,” said her father. “We are hoping she will be on a flight home soon.” Some reports said the youth was fined more than $100, but her father could not confirm the amount. The girl, McLaughlin history and civics teacher Chris Barrowclough and his wife stayed behind to support the teen and have been in contact with the girl’s parents. They said they would be looking to board a flight Wednesday. Hong Kong is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time. The girl’s father, who is home because of the layoff at the GM truck plant where he works, said he talked to his daughter briefly to make sure she was safe and being dealt with properly. He avoided berating her or talking about the incident itself. He said he’s not sure what he will say upon her return, but doubts whether she will be going on any future school trips. “She was really upset,” he said, adding the authorities have been excellent. “She has learned a lesson, an important life lesson.” A news report made it sound like she was roughed up, but that wasn’t the case, the father said. The authorities have been very accom- modating, he said, adding he is grateful to the Barrowcloughs for helping his daughter through the ordeal. Mr. Barrowclough had been in touch with the Canadian Embassy in Hong Kong, he said. “I was willing to go there on Saturday (when Barrowclough informed me) but he told me he thought he could get it cleaned up Monday. It took one extra day,” the father said. Although juvenile court normally runs in Hong Kong on Thursdays and Fridays, the courts there made special arrangements for an English-language judge to hear the case Tuesday. As for what ramifications his daughter will face when she gets home, the father said they would like to address it to ensure it never happens again. “She is a good kid. She picked the wrong place and time to experiment with this,” he said. He said the family, including his wife and two other children, were surprised at the at- tention the story has received. “It’s up there with stories like riots in Tibet and a soldier dying in Afghanistan. If it hap- pened here it would not be news.” Students interviewed outside McLaughlin Collegiate also expressed shock that a stu- dent known as “nice” and “smart” would do such a thing. Daylene Boucher said her good friend will be extremely embarrassed by causing so much fuss. “She wouldn’t want people talking about this,” she said. “She is a good person. We hope she’s back soon. We miss seeing her in the hallways.” Steph Siegel, another student, said she hopes the incident doesn’t get her expelled or in trouble, as she has been through enough. “I couldn’t see her stealing. She has never gotten in trouble at this school,” she said. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 2 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, March 19, 2008 DURHAM — A story in a recent issue of The News Advertiser contained incorrect information. Microsoft developed a Child Exploitation Tracking system to help police officers fight cybercrime. As well, Bernadette Schell, dean of the faculty of business and information tech- nology at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, said, “We want to combat strategies to the next wave of crime. In the U.S., they have a computer emergency re- sponse team at Carnegie-Mellon (Univer- sity) and they’ve done wonderful things to secure cyberspace from threats to national security and other things. National security could be a concern here eventually. . . .” Bruce Hurley, major gifts officer for the advancement office at the UOIT, then noted it could take just one circuit breaker to trip up power in Ontario. The News Advertiser regrets the errors.

Oshawa teen pleads guilty in Hong Kong More than 100 hospitals refuse to be named in Institute gradings By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Rouge Val- ley Ajax and Pickering hos- pital patients have no way of knowing how the Fraser Institute graded their hospi- tal in 2005 and 2006. The independent organi- zation recently released its Hospital Report Card: 2008, which compares the per- formance of Ontario’s 136 acute-care hospitals. The report card compares hos- pitals based on indicators of patient safety and qual- ity. Patients can look at a particular condition or pro- cedure and compare factors such as death rates and rates of adverse events. It’s based on data from the Canadian Institute for Health Infor- mation’s (CIHI) Discharge Abstract Database. Only 29 hospitals allowed the Fraser Institute to use their names in the study, compared to the 43 that agreed to be identified last time. “It’s unfortunate that even fewer of Ontario’s hospitals appear willing to embrace the values of accountabil- ity and transparency, some- thing I’m sure most people in Ontario will find unac- ceptable,” Nadeem Esmail, co-author of the report, said in a press release. Mr. Esmail, director of Health System Performance Studies at the Fraser Insti- tute, said he commends the hospitals that did allow the study to use their names, since they’re “obviously” committed to their patients and the public. He said to truly improve Canada’s health-care system, mea- surement and comparison of hospitals are needed. “If you have a greater chance of dying from a heart attack in one hospital com- pared to another, isn’t that something you would want to know?” he said. David Brazeau, the Rouge Valley Health System’s direc- tor of public affairs and com- munity relations, said RVAP did participate (ie. allow its name to be used) in the first report card and will partic- ipate in the next one, but there were changes around the hospital at the time the latest study was conducted and it “didn’t have the im- mediate capacity to do it. “The reason we didn’t participate last year is be- cause there were a lot of staffing changes occurring at the time,” he said. He added that RVAP has participated in every other major study. The highest-ranking 18 hos- pitals were ones that were not identified, and neither were the lowest-ranking eight. The top mark over- all mark was 91.2 out of 100 and the lowest was 62.2, but RVAP’s rank is unknown. In the past, RVAP ranked equal to or better than the Ontario average in most sections.

DURHAM — The Easter long weekend is bringing changes to Durham Re- gion’s garbage collection schedule. Residents in Ajax, Clar- ington, Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge, who regularly have garbage, blue box or green bin collection on Fridays, will have their waste collected on Satur- day. As usual, waste should be at the curb by 7 a.m. As well, the Region’s waste management facili- ties will be closed Friday through Monday for the Easter Weekend. Easter changes for garbage collection in Ajax DURHAM — A traffic stop early Sunday led police to a large-scale bust that saw al- most a kilogram of cocaine seized. Durham police Sergeant Paul McCurbin said po- lice on patrol in Pickering searched a car during a traf- fic stop and found 21 grams of crack cocaine, in addition to a stash of the powerful painkiller Oxycontin. Police obtained a search warrant for a room at the Motel 6 on Consumers Drive in Whitby and seized an additional 918 grams of crack and powder cocaine, making for a total of 940 grams of dope, Sgt. McCurbin said. “The street value of the drugs is approximately $94,000,” he said. Police charged Kyle Inno- cent, 25, of no fixed address with drug offences, as well as breaches of probation and an officer in charge un- dertaking. Melissa Williams, 25, of Oshawa, was charged with drug offences. Traffic stop leads to cocaine bust Industry to help pay for more hazardous waste pick-up days By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — While the City of Toronto is consider- ing a battery-deposit pro- gram similar to that used for beer bottles, the Region of Durham is sticking with a provincial plan to be rolled out this summer. Currently, Durham col- lects batteries at four de- pots licensed for household hazardous waste-- in Brock Township, Oshawa, Port Perry and Pickering-- and picks up the cost of han- dling the material. They’re then sent to Port Colborne where they’re recycled. The depots also collect other hazardous waste such as paint and paint thinners, pesticides, pool chemicals, antifreeze, brake fluid, oil filters, fuels, propane cylin- ders and more. In late February, Ontario approved a new plan that aims to double the amount of household hazardous waste (HHW) diverted from landfills. It will combine a depot program, similar to what Durham is doing, with special collection events where people can drop off their material. The big dif- ference is the industries creating the waste will help pick up the tab. “Under this plan, the in- dustry will pay about 80 per cent of the cost associated with hazardous household waste,” said Katherine Ross- Perron, a waste manage- ment technician for the Re- gion, adding it would mean tens of thousands of dollars in savings in Durham. As well, the Region would see more special collection days. It held two last year, one in Clarington and one in Whitby. Overall, there were 169 such special col- lection events in the prov- ince. “These events can run up to $10,000 a day just be- cause HHW is a very expen- sive material (to handle),” she said. Part of the provincial plan includes adding 255 more events, some of which will be in Durham. When it comes to batter- ies, Ms. Ross-Perron said statistics show they make up roughly one per cent of landfilled material. Howev- er, they account for 50-to-70 per cent of the heavy met- als, including mercury, lead and cadmium, in landfills. “Although they make up a small portion, they have a huge impact in the landfill.” Last year, CBC’s Mar- ketplace did a battery blitz in Port Perry and collect- ed 29,000 batteries in two weeks. Ms. Ross-Perron thinks that means people are uncertain of how to dis- pose of them. “Most people don’t know what to do with their bat- teries, so they hang on to them,” she said, pointing out that it’s free to drop them off at the waste depots. As well, for years the Re- gion has been encourag- ing residents to switch to rechargeables, especially when giving toys, gadgets or electronics at Christmas. Residents should also make sure they’re not throwing carbon fluores- cent light bulbs, the swirly kind, or tubes into the gar- bage. They’re accepted as HHW too. “They do contain a small percentage of mercury and should be disposed of prop- erly,” said Ms. Ross-Perron.

Police targeting trafficking in Ajax and Pickering By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Cops closing in on suspects in an elabo- rate drug sting found nine ounces of cocaine, jurors heard at the beginning of a Superior Court trial Tuesday. Further investigation led to the seizure of a loaded handgun and a substantial amount of cash, prosecutor Ken Polley said as the trial of Noel Datta began in Whitby. The Pickering man faces drug and weapons charges in connection with the bust, a Durham police operation that targeted cocaine traf- ficking in Ajax and Pickering in early 2006, jurors heard. Mr. Datta has pleaded not guilty to six charges. In his opening address to the jury Mr. Polley said he expects to call a number of cops who worked on the sting, including those who were present on May 31, 2006, when a deal for nine ounces of cocaine was to occur. An undercover cop called in backup officers who stopped two vehicles leaving the Ajax home at which the deal was to take place: in one was the dealer from whom the cop had made several purchases, while Mr. Datta was a passenger in the other. “When Mr. Datta was taken from the vehicle by the officer a paper bag fell from his lap area onto the ground,” Mr. Polley told jurors. “When (police) opened the bag there were nine ounces of cocaine in it.” A cellphone found in Mr. Datta’s possession was found to have a number di- alled by the source who had sold cocaine to the under- cover officer, Mr. Polley said. Keys found on Mr. Datta matched a safe seized by cops executing a search war- rant at a Bayly Street town- house after the bust; inside were a loaded handgun and ammunition, as well as a wad of cash, the prosecutor said. The first witness in the trial was Constable Pascal Dugas, a former Durham undercov- er cop now working with the RCMP in New Brunswick. He testified he worked on the case for two months, pos- ing as a taxi driver who sold illegal cigarettes and making contact with a dealer who on a number of occasions sold him cocaine, including once when they went to the Bayly Street complex to pick up the dope from a “back end” sup- plier. The trial, with Justice Bruce Glass presiding, con- tinues.Please take note of the following hours of operation for Regional Waste Disposal Facilities during the Easter Holidays: For more information,call the Region of Durham Works Department at 905-433-2050 or e-mail wastesites@region.durham.on.ca.

For him to say that “saying no to incineration is taking the easy way out” and then saying no to landfill or zero waste in the next breath is more than a little ridiculous. Everyone knows the whole world has a garbage problem and the only real long- term solution is zero waste. Burying it or burning it is a Band-Aid solution pushing the problem onto future generations to clean up. Real leadership acknowledges this, makes commitments to reach zero waste and takes steps to make it a reality. There are many communities around the world doing exactly this right now. Real leadership doesn’t make conces- sions to short-term solutions because of an imposing deadline, like Michigan not taking other people’s garbage. Real lead- ership works hard at reducing garbage through changing packaging and product regulations, diverting all materials that are recyclable and setting up programs to reuse products. Spending hundreds of millions of our money on a Band-Aid solution is intoler- able and flies in the face of the clean air act, reducing CO2 emissions, preventing pollution (all commitments made by fed- eral and provincial governments) and just plain common sense. This is not a good investment and we should not be profiting by burning other people’s garbage; it’s just wrong. It took a lot of years for the people of Michigan to get through to their so-called leaders. How long will it take to get through to ours? Duane Cook Kendal Garbage policing ridiculous To the editor: So Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, an unelected, self-appointed guardian of garbage disposal, is going to make crimi- nals out of hitherto law-abiding citizens. He proposes policing the garbage and punishing those of us who happen to put the wrong thing in the wrong bag. Along with language police, racial police and religious policing, we now have garbage policing. Are we going to have special forces hired wearing special uniforms complete with jackboots to patrol our side streets at night, just to make sure we do not steal other people’s garbage? Garbage that we as citi- zens pay to have removed. Garbage that does not belong to any municipality until they retrieve it from outside of our homes. If people can make a little extra from taking things from the blue boxes, why shouldn’t they? As the saying goes, “one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure.” We pay the taxes for the municipalities to dispose of our garbage, they do not have exclusive rights. Our responsibilities have increased along with our tax increases. I suggest that Mr. Anderson ride shotgun in the garbage trucks. We cannot be trusted. Leslie Davies Ajax Incineration technology must be seen in context To the editor: Although incineration is used in many European countries, it is simplistic for Ontario to think it can transfer incinera- tion technologies into the province and achieve similar results. Proponents of incineration in Ontario often point to European successes as a model. European countries, however, have very different policies in place to guide how they use incineration to manage their solid waste. European models, such as Sweden and Denmark, have created waste man- agement frameworks that give clear prior- ity to waste prevention/reduction. European has also developed policies and regulations that include extended pro- ducer responsibility and stricter measures on controlling packaging waste. These frameworks and regulations try to ensure incineration is only used for waste that is truly residual and that the technology does not become a basin for receiving an end- less supply of garbage. If we are to model ourselves after European countries we should begin by modelling their public policies. More information and analysis about the use of incineration in Ontario can be found in CIELAP’s March 2007 report: Ontario’s Waste Management Challenge – Is Incin- eration an Option?

Y ou’ve got a beef with your gar- bage pickup, you’re wonder- ing why the snow hasn’t been plowed or you need to know exactly how much it will cost to enrol your child in a local program. Who you gonna call? Well, the answer is your local City or Town hall. When you do make that call, go to the municipal website or drop in for a visit, will you get the attention and care your tax dollars pay for? That’s what our reporters sought to discover as they checked on the response times and quality of service provided by municipal staff in our series, “Are you being served?” We simply made basic requests and asked everyday questions a typical resi- dent might have. Our goal was to see if staffers were efficient and effective in dealing with our inquiries. Over the next several weeks we’ll provide our readers with the results of our findings. With local tax rates on a consistent upward trend and new growth a con- stant fact of life in south Durham, it’s worth checking on how well munici- palities meet the challenges posed by their residents. The thousands of newcomers who choose to make Durham their home each year will no doubt have plenty of questions about services in their new towns and cities. They need complete answers to questions that can run the gamut from building permit requests to parking regulations to pet licences. And, it’s up to the army of local staff, paid for out of your pocket, to come through with the answers you need. As part of our series, and to provide our readers with a broad spectrum of experiences upon which to draw, we’d like your input with “Are you being served?” Tell us what happened when you called your Town or City.

Mayor Steve Parish has sent a letter to municipal affairs and housing min- ister Jim Watson, asking for “your assistance in introducing the appropri- ate legislation through the Ontario Legislature to deal with this problem.” He said the Town’s pop- ulation of almost 100,000 and three representatives means each councillor rep- resents about 30,000 peo- ple. Oshawa has eight repre- sentatives for about 150,000 people, so each council- lor there represents 17,500 residents. “This is grossly unfair. Every resident of the Re- gion of Durham should have their fair say on the priorities of the Region,” he stated. “It’s kind of an embar- rassment, the citizens of Oshawa have about twice as much say as the citizens of Ajax,” Mayor Parish says in an interview. “Brock has five times as much.” At the Region, a triple ma- jority is needed to change the council’s composition, something Mayor Parish says would be impossible to achieve. (A triple majority means approval by Regional coun- cil, with at least five of the area municipalities repre- senting at least 50 per cent of the Region’s popula- tion.) The three northern com- munities and Oshawa “have a vested interest in keeping the representation where it is. So, it’s impossible to get a triple majority,” he adds. By sending the letter, Mayor Parish is “hoping to basically increase aware- ness. “I wanted the minister to be aware the triple majority system isn’t a satisfactory way of dealing with prob- lems,” he says. “I hope, at the very least, he’ll look into the situation, take advice from his staff, make contact with the Re- gional chairman and make inquiries about it,” the mayor notes. “If it’s a real inequitable situation, an aggrieved municipality like Ajax has some recourse. There has to be some recourse.” He noted provincial and federal representation is reviewed every 10 years following a census. He’d like a similar review at the Regional level, so the “rep- resentation is at least close and fair.” In May, Ajax sent a re- quest to Regional council asking that the matter be addressed. Council, how- ever, didn’t act on it. “People only see two ways to solve it. One is to give Ajax and Whitby, which is also under-rep- resented, another seat. No one wants to increase the size of Regional council.” The other is to “take representation away from a municipality,” a step he describes as “extremely unpopular. You have to do one or the other. Otherwise, you have a system where high-growth municipalities are more and more under- represented.” AT PINE RIDGE GARDEN GALLERY Open Good Friday 9-4 On: Silk Flowers • Silk Evergreens Bistro Sets • Benches Bird Feeders • Arbors eastercelebrate “Eggxatl y ”SaveSave Easter fl owers in FULL BLOOM! ...

As the sixth annual event hits the pavement this May, Mr. Traill will no doubt think back three years to when he spent Valentine’s Day in the Lakeridge Health cardiopul- monary unit after suffering a heart attack. Held by the Cardiovas- cular Prevention and Reha- bilitation (CVPRP) Services of Lakeridge Health to raise awareness about chronic disease prevention, Mr. Traill knows all too well the impact of a disastrous health episode. But he learned so much in his recovery. “When I got out I felt like because I have heart prob- lems I should probably be- come a couch potato, like a lot of action would probably have to cease” he said of his experience. “When I went into this program it helped me un- derstand exercise, in mod- eration, is good for you. It got me going again and I haven’t stopped since.” After being in the program for mere weeks Mr. Traill took part in the 2005 Walk of Life. After three months he was volunteering at a camp for children from single-par- ent families, where he ran a 10-day fishing session with 110 participants. “The program helped me understand that having a heart attack isn’t the end of the world,” Mr. Traill said. “There are things we can do to make life better.” In addition to being a par- ticipant in the program, Mr. Traill now works closely with other participants as a vol- unteer. “Besides his sense of hu- mour, his empathy with the newly arriving clients is out- standing,” said Elly Hobbs, a cardiac rehab therapist for the program whom Mr. Traill works with. “At sessions where pa- tients and participants learn to regulate their life with ex- ercise he’ll help them fill out their fitness diaries before they go and he’ll walk with them if it looks like, or if he feels like, they need some cheering up or some moti- vation.” Mr. Traill is vocal about how much the program has helped him and said he en- courages other people who are wary of programs like the CVPRP to get involved. For him, his most impor- tant duty as a volunteer is helping patients understand the program and ease into it, since sometimes they are more comfortable with someone who has already been through it. “It’s very rewarding,” he said of his work with the pro- gram. “Every time someone smiles, it’s payment all over again.” The CVPRP Walk of Life will be held Sunday, May 4, at the Heydenshore Pavilion in Whitby. Registration be- gins at 11 a.m. and the walk begins at 1 p.m. To join the walk or for more information on the Cardiovascular Pre- vention and Rehabilitation program, contact Jennifer at 905-576-8711 ext. 4825.

On Saturday, March 29, the Region will ensure all water supply plants and water pollution control plants will turn off unnecessary lights and only emer- gency lighting will be used in the park- ing garage at Regional headquarters. During Earth Hour, participants raise awareness about climate change by turning off non-essential lights for one hour. The event began in Sydney Australia in 2007, but has spread all over the world this year. There are pledged participants in every municipality in Durham and people looking to sign up can visit www.earthhour.org. Durham says it’s dedicated to energy efficiency throughout the year, using timers and motion sensors at the head- quarters and reducing lighting in the evenings and on the weekends.

The exhibit of landscapes and figurative paintings runs until March 27 and features recent works by Kui, who moved to Durham with his wife more than a year ago. Born in China, Kui began work as an art designer in 1972 and has won several prizes, including ones in the Qingdao portrait paint- ing competition and in the Shandong painting show. He taught fashion design at Qingdao University and then art before coming to Can- ada. “I graduated from university in 1984, and then went to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the most prestigious art institution in China, as a graduate student studying Art Design,” he said through a translator in an e-mail. “Later on, I worked as a teaching assistant and then a professor in the Department of Art Design in Qingdao University.” Kui’s influences are wide and varied -- he lists Soviet art and the Group of Seven among them. “Most prominent among my early influenc- es was the Soviet Art. I was introduced to oil painting at the age of 14, and was then heavily influenced by socialist realism as championed by the Soviets,” he said. But he is also well acquainted with Chinese water painting, which emphasizes the rhythm of brush strokes and the momentum in paint- ing, while stressing visual balance, he said. “This can be achieved with dedicated prac- tice and of course, a “right” state of mind. My skill and knowledge in Chinese water painting I have acquired turned out to be very useful ever since I came to Canada and decided to paint landscape.” He started studying the Group of Seven and found himself “inspired by their connection with nature which in turn encouraged me to paint more landscape.” He said he’s currently working on more paintings here, both landscapes and portraits to prepare for his next exhibition. He’s also preparing for a western China themed exhibit in Beijing later this year. He’s also doing re- search on “visual perception to better under- stand the effect of the different visual stimuli to our visual sensory,” he said. The Beijing exhibit in December will feature some of China’s most prominent artists. It’s back to Clarington for the next exhibit at the Kent Farndale Gallery. His works show his command of brush- strokes and use of complementary colours. The Scugog Memorial Public Library is at 231 Water St. in Port Perry.

The 18-year-old freshman centre has chalked up the kind of cam- paign that’s usually reserved for senior players. Wakefield’s been instrumental in helping her Wild- cats to an undefeated season in the Hockey East conference, and she’s earned several high-profile awards, too. These honours include Hockey East rookie of the year, the league rookie scoring title (45 points, sec- ond on the team, including 26 goals, first on team), and being named a conference all-star and to the all- rookie all-star squad. At the Hockey East playoff tournament, she was also named to the all-star team. But, for all the individual acco- lades the Pickering resident has earned this season, it’s what happen- ing with her second-ranked Wildcats that concerns her most right now. The Wildcats currently sit two games away from an NCAA Divi- sion 1 title. On Thursday night, they travel to Duluth, Minn. for their Fro- zen Four national semifinal contest against the third-ranked University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs. Wakefield, who played with the Durham Junior Lightning before moving on to the Etobicoke Dol- phins of the National Women’s Hockey League last season, says the national semifinal represents a stern test for New Hampshire as UMD fea- tures a potent international lineup. “New Hampshire hasn’t played them since 2002, so none of our senior players have played against them. They have strong players from all over the world, from Canada, the U.S., Sweden and Finland,” says Wakefield of UMD, which defeated Mercyhurst College from Erie, Penn. in their quarter-final contest. The Wildcats advanced after an exciting 3-2 overtime victory over St. Lawrence University from New York in the quarter-finals. And, as Wakefield’s been all season, she was clutch in scoring the game-tying goal on the power play with about five minutes left in regulation time. On the scoring play, Wakefield one-timed a pass while stationed at the side of the St. Lawrence net to tie the pivotal contest at 2-2. “It was an amazing feeling,” says Wakefield of seeing her shot enter the net. The goal gave the Wildcats a big boost of confidence which car- ried them into the overtime session. In previous playoff action, the Wildcats defeated the Boston Uni- versity Terriers 8–0 in the Hockey East semifinal and the Providence College Friars 1–0 in the conference final. Wakefield scored twice in the Wildcats’ win over Boston U. Wakefield notes reaching the Fro- zen Four in her first season with New Hampshire goes way beyond her expectations. “I knew we had a great program coming into the season, but I didn’t have any expectations of going to the Frozen Four. I just wanted to contribute in any way I could, so it’s just a bonus to be playing in such big games,” says the Dunbarton High School grad. And, achieving individual awards was not something she aspired to at the start of her freshman season. “I didn’t expect anything. I knew I was having a good season points- wise. It’s an honour to be chosen by coaches and players you play against,” she explains. When Wakefield’s not playing with and studying at UNH, she’s played recently for Canada’s under-22 team in Lake Placid, New York and in Ger- many. She also travelled with the Canadian national women’s team to the 4 Nations Cup in Sweden last November, a high point in her hock- ey career thus far. “It was an eye opener,” says Wake- field, of helping Canada win the prestigious Cup over the U.S. “All the great (female) hockey players in the world were there. It was exciting to play against the best in the world.” Wakefield’s hopeful her hockey career will ascend toward playing for Canada at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver-Whistler. “For sure, 2010 is a realistic goal. I have to keep working and maturing as a player in order to compete with the best.” Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser file photo Pickering’s Jennifer Wakefield leads her University of New Hampshire Wildcats into the Frozen Four of women’s hockey.

Starts Sunday’s game in Edmonton; West loses 17-16 to East By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — Being a National Lacrosse League all-star never grows old for Ajax’s Gee Nash. The 30-year-old goaltender with the Denver- based Colorado Mammoth made his fourth all- star appearance, his second as a starter, for the West Division at the 2008 NLL All-Star Game at Rexall Place in Edmonton on Sunday. The West dropped a 17-16 decision to the East all-stars. Nash started and played half the contest, giv- ing up only five goals against in 30 minutes of play. He gave way to Anthony Cosmo of the San Jose Stealth, who was beaten for 12 goals and was saddled with the loss. Nash noted prior to Sunday’s game he was glad for another all-star nod in a showcase event that has expanded beyond just a single game into something truly special. “Yeah, I am,” says Nash of being excited at being named to another all-star game, “espe- cially because it’s in a Canadian city in Edmon- ton and will be broadcast throughout Canada. There’s also a skills competition and a banquet, so they’re trying to turn it into a fan-friendly experience instead of just one game.” And, being named a starter is icing on the cake for Nash, who’s currently in the midst of a brilliant campaign with the Mammoth, with a league-leading 10.10 goals against average. He’s also currently tied for fifth league-wide with a .768 save percentage. Nash was one of three Mammoth named to the West Division all-star team, with forwards Dan Carey and Whitby’s Gavin Prout also part of the starting lineup. In his fifth season with the Mammoth, having won the NLL championship in 2006, Nash says he’s happy playing in the mile-high city where the lacrosse team plays in front of a packed house for each home contest. “We have an ownership group that also has the (NHL’s) Avalanche and the (NBA’s) Nuggets, so they really do a lot of cross-pro- motion,” he says. “We get 15,500 a game and we have a good niche in our market. Denver is a sporting city as a whole; they come out in droves for lacrosse, so it’s a pretty cool experi- ence.” So far this year, the Mammoth are 5-3, re- bounding from two straight losses to St. Jose and Calgary with an 11-6 win over the Rough- necks in Calgary on Friday night before mak- ing the trip north to Edmonton for the all-star game. This season, says Nash, more than any other in his nine-year NLL career, there’s plenty of par- ity among the teams. The upshot is it’s going to be extremely difficult to compete for the second NLL championship of his career. But, he’s pre- dicting his Mammoth will make a strong case for an NLL title. “The league has so much parity, on any given night any team can beat you and we can beat anyone else. We’ll definitely be in the mix, though,” he says. With a young family, Nash says so far he’s been able to juggle an NLL career, as well as a career with Fury Sports and family life in Ajax. As most NLL games are on the weekend, he commutes to join the Mammoth and, on occa- sion, he brings his family along. In the summers, Nash has traditionally kept up his fitness and skills by playing major series lacrosse with the Brooklin Redmen. This year, however, due to the birth of his daughter, he’s taking the summer off to attend to family mat- ters. Nash says he’ll continue to play in the NLL for the foreseeable future. “As long as I enjoy it and as long as I’m still half decent, I’ll still be playing,” he says.
