That was the message at Tuesday’s launch cel- ebration of a new eight-storey office tower set to go in the south corner of the Pickering Town Centre’s parking lot, near Liverpool Road and Pickering Parkway, facing the Pickering GO sta- tion. “From a downtown perspective, I think this is a key catalyst for an employment centre,” said Ron Taylor, co-ordinator of city development, in an interview. Mayor Dave Ryan led the celebration of the 132,000-square-foot office tower, which will be built to LEED Silver standards. Construction will begin in July of this year and occupancy is expect- ed for early 2011. He pointed out Pickering’s been named an urban growth centre by the Province, and added the pedestrian bridge across Hwy. 401 is in the works.

The map below illustrates the preliminary study area for this project. A Public Information Centre (PIC) has been scheduled to provide stakeholders with an opportunity to review the transportation need and justification for improvements and an assessment of alternative solutions. Public comments obtained at the PIC will be incorporated into the next phase of the study. The PIC has been scheduled for: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Valley View Public School 3530 Westney Rd, Greenwood Following the PIC, the material presented at the meeting will be posted on the Regional Municipality of Durham’s website at www.durham.ca/studiesandprojects.

GM Canada plans to cut about 280 of its 705 dealers in the country. Boyer Pontiac received a letter last week saying it won’t be one of them. Boyer Pontiac has been in operation since 1987 and sells roughly 1,000 new and used vehicles a year. It features the Pontiac-Buick- GMC lineup. As of the end of 2010, it will no longer sell Pontiac vehicles as GM announced earlier this year the brand will be phased out. “We were fortunate enough to be kept for the future,” Mr. Boyer said. The time leading up to the news was quite stressful, Mr. Boyer said, comparing it to the anticipation of whether a kid would make a sports team in school. “It was a good feeling,” he said of the news. Mr. Boyer wouldn’t go into details on the reasons why Boyer Pontiac was told it would stay open, but thanked the customers and said GM looked at all aspects of the business. “Again, it’s because of the customers and the community that’s been supporting us for so many years,” he said, adding “without them, we wouldn’t be here.” Mr. Boyer would not comment on which dealers have been told they’ll close, since there have been a number of rumours. He feels badly for the dealers that have been given the bad news, but Boyer Pontiac is looking forward to the future. “We hope to be here for many years,” he said. “We’re carrying on business as usual.” Bruce Bissell Buick Pontiac in Ajax shut down suddenly in April, but officials claimed it had nothing to do with GM’s current eco- nomic troubles. GM spokeswoman Patty Faith said on May 22 that sales and service contracts for dealers not selected to continue will expire in Octo- ber 2010. “We will work with dealers as they wind down their operations in an orderly, cost- effective and customer-friendly way between now and then,” she said. -- With files from Jeff Hayward RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND PICKERING -- General manager of Boyer Pontiac Buick GMC Ryan Boyer posed in front of the family dealership in Pickering on June 2.

The Most Profiled Clinic in Ontario AP Tough times expected to continue into 2010 BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The economic situation isn’t getting any better, with 2010 pro- jected to “be a tough one.” Those comments were made last week during a meeting of Regional Council’s finance committee as councillors were getting updates on the economy. “It’s not getting any better,” is how Oshawa Councillor Joe Kolodzie described the update on the economy. Includ- ed in the update were unemploy- ment statistics in the Oshawa cen- sus metropoli- tan area (which includes all of Oshawa and Whitby, and a portion of Clar- ington) and hous- ing demand. A staff report put the unemployment rate in April in the Oshawa CMA at 7.7 per cent, which is below the federal rate of eight per cent and the provincial rate of 8.7 per cent. Most job losses since October 2008 were in manufacturing, construction and natural resources. Housing starts in Durham are project- ed to plunge to about 750 units this year, down from more than 5,300 units annu- ally from 2004 to 2006. “The Canada Mortgage and Hous- ing Corporation does not expect hous- ing starts to return to the pace of recent years for at least four years,” the staff report noted. While new home starts dropped sub- stantially, real estate activity in Durham remains strong. One reason is historically low interest rates, which have made housing more affordable. The drop in construction means less money collected through development charges. That means more property tax money will have to be used to pay for construction projects. “It’s going to be a tough one, next year,” said Marilyn Pearce, the Scugog Mayor and chairwoman of the finance commit- tee. Finance commissioner Jim Clapp noted the Region is still dealing with increased Ontario Works costs. “If this continues to increase, we could be looking at $2 million to $5 million hit on funding from the rate stabilization fund. Hopefully, the worst-case scenario is $2 to $5 million,” Mr. Clapp said. Extra Ontario Works costs could poten- tially reach $3 million to $6 million more, Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son said, and that could affect property taxes next year. “We’re starting the year one-and-a- half per cent behind the eight-ball by not putting money back into the rate stabili- zation fund,” he added. The unemployment figures across the country are “quite amazing,” Mr. Clapp said. He noted EI claims in Calgary and Edmonton rose 187 per cent. In Durham, the number of claims is up 36 per cent. “It’s not coming down.” AREA ECONOMY Durham councillors get eye-opener It’s not getting any better.

Hot coffee thrown in school teacher’s face PETER SMALL newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- They came together in the morning crush of commuters bustling through Union Station for the GO train. Michael Beline was hurrying to his job as an elementary teacher in Durham Region. Christine Bedford, a customer service rep- resentative, was also on her way to Track 4A. She had a fresh coffee in her hand. Suddenly, the two strangers were togeth- er in the crowd. Mr. Beline thinks he might have cut ahead of her. What he remembers is her angry voice, saying, “Don’t you f-ing cut me off.” He turned toward the voice and the woman threw the contents of her coffee cup in his face. “I suffered second-degree burns,” the 30-year-old Annex resident said of the April 9, 2008 incident. “I even had burns at the tip of my eyelids. It was quite severe.” On Monday, Ms. Bedford, 58, pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm, reduced from the aggravated assault charge she originally faced. “It was just an impulsive act,” her law- yer, Stephanie Heyens, told the court, stress- ing that her client has no criminal record. Provincial Court Justice Bruno Cavion was not impressed. “Either she’s insane or she’s evil, one or the other,” he said, demanding further explanation for Ms. Bedford’s con- duct. Ms. Heyens said the victim probably jostled Ms. Bedford or cut her off. “She acted in an irrational manner” and is remorseful, Ms. Heyens said. Court was told Ms. Bedford has two grown children and works on the phone in custom- er service at a pharmaceutical company. “She deals with people?” asked the judge incredulously. “She is quite well-known for her ability to deal with people on the phone,” Ms. Heyens said. The judge accepted a joint recommen- dation from Ms. Heyens and prosecutor Meghan Scott for a suspended sentence, 12 months probation and restitution of $1,500 -- part of which will go to Mr. Beline. Justice Cavion ordered Ms. Bedford to pay $500 to a hospital of her choice to make up for the “aggravation” caused to the one that treated Mr. Beline. Mr. Beline told court he continued on his way to work after the attack, but a colleague on the train persuaded him to seek medical attention. He was treated at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, where Durham police interviewed him and took photos of his inju- ries. “I lost two layers of skin. My summer was ruined,” he said, adding he had to wear a wide-brimmed hat and drop out of dragon boat races. Mr. Beline said he has recovered from the facial burns but is concerned he might get skin cancer in the future.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 4, 20096 P WASTE MANAGEMENT Wake up to facts of incinerator plans To the editor: People wake up! You are being kept in the dark by those who are elected to protect your interests. Durham Regional council, led by the non- elected chairman Roger Anderson, is in the process of voting to establish a $236- million incinerator in Clarington for which you must pay. It will cost $14 million per year to operate and create only 33 jobs, and stifle the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle pro- gram which has gained momentum in recent years. Because of the need to burn garbage 24 hours per day for 365 days per year for 30 years, 140,000 to 400,000 tonnes of garbage will be burned each year. Regional council and the consultants want us to believe that, although there is a multitude of toxins, furans, dioxins and ultra-fine particulate matter which will be spewed into the air, there is minimal dan- ger to health and the environment. And yet, all levels of government are soliciting our involvement to reduce global warming and work towards a cleaner envi- ronment while Durham Regional coun- cil plans to build this monster which will emit into our air tons of poisons created by burning plastics and other chemicals. By their own admission, the consul- tants concede that their science cannot adequately measure or predict chemicals which will be burned in the incinerator in the future. What will be the impact on the health of humans and on our planet if we allow this to proceed? More than 1,000 European scientists and 33,000 European doctors have petitioned governments to cease building more incinerators. At least 75 Durham Region medical doc- tors have objected to the proposed incin- erator. Paul Woodcroft Prince Albert ••• To the editor: The made-in-Durham waste solution is misinforming the local population. Currently, planning is underway to con- tinuously transport non-recycled waste materials from mainly Oshawa, Whitby and York to be burned at a lakeshore incin- erator in Courtice. But this facility will be operated by a pri- vate American company and funded in part with money from provincial gasoline taxes meant for roadway safety improve- ments in our area. The large amount of left- over incinerator ash will then be trucked to the U.S. for disposal because it is too toxic to be left in Canada. The amount of toxic air emissions will increase with each bag of burnt waste. Mike Goleski Courtice COMMUNITY Parents should take responsibility for kids To the editor: Re: ‘Neighbours curse Courtice skate- park’, May 6. Skateboarders have to work very hard getting parks like Clarington built. Imag- ine if you had to fundraise, attend town meetings, create questionnaires, lobby the government, get donations, run fund- raisers, write letters, to be able to go play baseball at your local field or use a swing set. Skateboarders have to do this. Skateboarding is one of the most partic- ipated activities by youth, yet we are still relegated to a special interest and have to jump through hoops like few other sports. I wonder if those bad apples who have been causing problems had their parents watching. Unsupervised kids get into trouble. Parents need to take responsibility for their children. The rink isn’t there to babysit kids, so why then is the skate park? It’s not the police’s job to be babysitters either. It is their job to enforce the law. Criminals should be treated as such. Skateboarders are not criminals by nature. However if someone who owns a skateboard does something criminal then they should be treated as such. As for the gentleman who wants to demolish the park piece by piece, next time you get a speeding ticket we should demolish your car. That will show them. Steve Greenidge Pickering There can be nothing sadder for a com- munity to face. When a young person so full of life and rich with friends and family dies, a whole community is affected. Jeffrey Donahue was such a young man. The 18-year-old rugby star from J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate was pro- nounced dead last Thursday after police said he lost control of the Pontiac Grand Am he was driving on Brock Road and collided with a truck. On Friday, Jeffrey was to get dressed up to attend his senior prom. On Tuesday, more than 500 friends, fellow students and family members dressed up to pay their respects to a friend who was able to make everyone laugh with his one-liners. The outpouring of grief at the Pickering Village United Church was overwhelm- ing. Jeffrey was a student everyone liked and enjoyed hanging around with. The many photos displayed throughout the church showed his passion for having a good time and enjoying life, whether it was with friends or his family. “When I first saw that slideshow I was overwhelmed by how much living Jeff had packed into 18 years,” said his uncle, John Elliot, who was one of several peo- ple to share his memories of Jeffrey. In Facebook messages, friends talked about Jeff’s ability to make people feel comfortable around him. He was a kind and friendly teenager who will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. The accident should be a message to all young drivers. We don’t know what exact- ly happened that day but police said Jeff lost control of his vehicle. New drivers should be especially careful on the road and take extra precautions when behind the wheel. While many of Jeff’s friends may won- der why someone was lost to them at such a young age, Jeff’s family took the opportunity to remind them just how precious life can be. His aunt noted one of the last things Jeff heard from his sister is that she wanted to spend more time with him. His aunt asked those in attendance to go home and show those close to them just how much they love and appreciate them. And it wasn’t just a message for the younger people at the funeral. It was a nice sentiment to share and one we hope each person followed through on. This world can use a little bit more love.

A concerned citizen, who wishes to remain anon- ymous, had someone call police after she and oth- ers witnessed a man looking through binoculars for a lengthy period of time at the area where children were play- ing. DRPS spokeswoman Sergeant Nancy Van Rooy confirmed that police responded to the call on Saturday afternoon. It turns out, she said, that the man had, in fact, been looking through a pair of binoculars with a built-in digital camera. Police detained the man for questioning and although they didn’t have grounds to arrest him and take him to 19 Division, he “co-operated to the full extent.” He went voluntarily with police back to the station, offered up his camera and police found he had been taking photos of women, Sgt. Van Rooy said. “There were no pictures of children, nothing that was offensive,” she said. Although the incident was “creepy”, police “unfor- tunately” couldn’t lay charges since he wasn’t doing anything illegal. He appeared to be a young man who wanted to look at women in a park, not with the intention of doing anything further with the images, she said. Sgt. Van Rooy encourages people to call regarding suspicious behaviour and called the resident who did so last Saturday a Good Samaritan. “It’s concerning, it’s alerting,” she said. And people should not hesitate to contact police regarding such matters, she said. “That’s what we’re here for, for people who call in with situations like this,” she said. DRPS can be reached at 905-579-1520. Since he was not charged, the man’s name and identity cannot be released. Sgt. Van Rooy said he is not known to police and was not found on the sex offender registry. But, now, the man is on file with Durham Regional Police.

The preliminary planning for the bridge is approved; the City is just waiting to see if it’ll get stimulus funding from the federal and provincial governments. Mayor Ryan added the area will have a mix- ture of commercial, residential and retail, pointing out the new mixed-use develop- ment of San Francisco by the Bay “is a seven- minute walk from the GO station.” He called it a “very exciting view of the future” and said it could include the long-awaited Durham Arts Centre. “The performing arts centre could very well become part of this downtown hub, and there’s room for it,” Mayor Ryan said. Although it’s hoped a number of tenants will move into the new building, the first is the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, which will move out of the current seven-sto- rey tower at Pickering Parkway and Liverpool Road. MPAC had outgrown the current space and planned on leaving Pickering until Mayor Ryan thought it’d be a good opportunity for business growth. George Buckles, president of 20 VIC Man- agement Inc., owners of the new tower, learned about the situation in 2006, which he said really sparked the project. “We’re proud to play a part in the exciting transformation of Pickering’s downtown,” he said. Kim Donovan, president of Picore Holdings Ltd., which owns the office MPAC current- ly resides in, said MPAC leaving will give the company “an opportunity to find new tenants for our space.” He added it’s been short on space for some time. This announcement is one of many recent business developments in Pickering. SNC Lavalin Nuclear Inc. opened a new office in February; Norwegian company Aker Solu- tions relocated its Toronto operations to a new $18-million facility last week and Ennis Paints also took up office in Pickering. As well, Sun Life Financial moved from Whitby to Pickering last week. Included in the guests at the launch was Minister of Finance Jim Fla- herty, who called it a “great corporate compa- ny for Durham Region.” Mr. Taylor said the City has been slowly and steadily planning for the development of its downtown over the years, such as having pre-zoning approvals in place, which attracts companies that are ready to get up and run- ning. “I think one of the big things is readi- ness,” he said. -- With files from Chloe Stanois PICKERING from page 1 PICKERING -- Artist’s rendering of office tower.

JUNE SPECIAL SAVE $600 ON A COMBO March of Fools raises funds for computers BY MARGARET CAPPA Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING -- Some people had their faces painted while others wore neon from head to toe. Although costumes varied for a March of Fools walk recently in Pickering, participants had one thing in common –- raising money for Learning for Hope, an organization start- ed at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School. “I have so much and I’m very lucky, so I wanted give back to kids who don’t have all that I do,” said Chris Raguseo, a Grade 11 St. Mary student. He wore red- and white-striped socks, bright work- out clothes and brought 10 boxes of donations to the event. “Even if I do look a little silly, it’s for a great cause,” he said. Despite rain, many school and communi- ty members came out to St. Mary, on Whites Road, for the 10-kilome- tre walk, said Andrew McLaughlin, St. Mary teacher and Learning for Hope co-ordinator. Learning for Hope was established in 2006 with the help of the St. Mary community and a contact in Peru, he said. Since its start, Learning for Hope has grown to include not only the St. Mary community, but people from the greater Pickering area. The organization aims to bring technolo- gy to impoverished Peruvian schools so stu- dents can learn computer science. Thus far, the group has adopted two schools in Peru and will soon adopt two more. According to Mr. McLaughlin, the charity’s aim creates long-lasting results in Peruvian communi- ties, not just temporary solutions. “Knowing how to use a computer is empowering,” said Mr. McLaughlin. “And how is computer liter- acy any different from other forms of literacy these days?” Funds raised from the March of Fools walk, about $5,200, will buy about seven comput- ers for a school and pay a computer teach- er for one year, said Mr. McLaughlin. “Right now, over 100 kids each year in Peru are using computers which people in Pickering helped put there,” he said, “and that’s pretty neat.” Another initiative of Learning for Hope is organizing trips to Peru for local members. The trips, made up of uni- versity students and adults, will run in July and August, said Mr. McLaughlin. The participants will visit the adopted schools and help build an irrigation system among other things. One member attending a trip this summer is Pickering resi- dent Sheena Bhimji-Hewitt. She has been involved with Learning for Hope since last year. “It dawned on me when I turned 50 that I wanted to get involved,” she said. “A cause like this was something I wanted to be involved with since high school.” Ms. Bhimji-Hewitt, who heard about Learning for Hope from a neighbour, said it is never too late in your life to get involved. “Every year, many of us do the same thing and say, ‘it’s not the right time or maybe next year’,” she said. “So now I’m involved and it’s a dream come true.” COMMUNITY Pickering school offers hope in Peru MARGARET CAPPA PHOTO PICKERING -- St. Mary students Melissa Tansingco and Megan Nevy took part in the March of Fools walk at the school. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 4, 200912 AP Commercial Accounts Available Celebrating10YearsinBusinessCelebrating 10 Years in Business HEAVY DUTY TRUCK PARTS COMING SOON AC Compressor From $16999 AC REFRIGERANT From $899 WE CARRY BODY PARTS PICKERING LOCATION 1648 BAYLY ST.

Wheth- er you’re two or 102, you can enjoy the benefi ts of getting online – and it’s not that diffi cult. From online banking and investigating medical symptoms to searching interesting travel destinations, online shopping and even internet dating, seniors are enjoying the time- and energy-saving benefi ts of get- ting connected. Or, like Sheila Brumell, 69 recently discovered, she can follow her 13 year old grand-daughter on a trip through England, France and Poland by watching Sadie post pictures daily on Facebook. Computers are tools that bring informa- tion from around the globe into your home. So, why are some people hesitant about using computers and the internet? Tony Goodrow, president of Volunteer Squared, a volunteer database software company in Burlington, Ontario says, “Non-users ...cite high levels of intimida- tion and a general lack of understanding about how a computer and the Internet may benefi t them. Seniors who are unfa- miliar with using the internet may claim they have no need for it; in many cases this ‘claim’ has more to do with a feeling that they would not be good at using the internet.” “If you think old age means that you can’t learn new things, then think again. Research shows that older people can, and do, learn new things. According to Microsoft, seniors recognize the benefi ts of computers and the internet in the areas of employability (paid and unpaid) and socialization,” says Mr. Goodrow. “There is a wide range of benefi ts for seniors if they learn how to navigate the internet... For many seniors it’s simply a matter of having the opportunity to learn.” There are different approaches you can take to learning how to use a computer. Grant Mitchell, retired at an early age from General Motors two years ago and today at 53, with no formal training, he is an avid laptop user. “After asking different people about what to look for in a computer, one day I decided to go in to the store and talk to a salesman,” reports Mr. Mitchell. “He asked me a bunch of questions about what I was going to use it for and suggested that I get the bigger screen because it’s easier to see. I decided to get a laptop because it’s portable and I want to take it to the cottage. I bought it the same day.” Mr. Mitchell asked questions about how to use the computer and had the software he needed installed at the store to mini- mize the diffi culty. “After that, I called my neighbour to help me when I had a prob- lem. She helped me connect to the internet and set up my email account. Once she showed me, it seemed easy.” Since his initial computer purchase Mr. Mitchell has upgraded his internet service from dial-up Don’t be afraid - get online newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 4, 200914 AP LOCATION IS EVERYTHING!

Seniors in the Scugog area can take advantage of a computer club created especially for them. Run by Theresia Berry, a self-taught computer user as part of Port Perry Seniors group, it’s a great way for older adults to learn how to use computers and the internet in a friendly, non-threaten- ing environment. “Most people are scared of the com- puter,” says Ms. Berry. “Some don’t have a computer they just want to see what it’s all about.” Ms. Berry has been running the club for about 7 years. “It’s a social time where everyone can ask questions about problems they have or things they want to learn.” Ms. Berry works on her computer that is projected onto a large screen so everyone in the class can follow along. She also provides handouts to participants so they can take them home and do the same thing on their computer. “Students are asked to bring $1 to every class to cover the cost of the handouts and coffee is 50 cents,” she adds. “Many people fi nd that there is always something they didn’t know.” Some of the topics covered in club meetings include how to use email and the internet, down- load digital pictures onto your computer, write letters and make cds and dvds. Ms. Berry elaborates, “Everyone might have a different (operating) system at home. I talk about the different systems and show how to do things on a big screen. Then, they ask questions.” Ms. Berry encourages people who are considering buying a computer to come and listen, talk with the other people and get their opinions on different aspects of using a computer. “You can ask if it’s really for you and fi nd out what you really need,” she explains. “When it comes to computers you may fi nd that your grandchildren are smarter than you.” But Ms. Berry offers a word of caution, “Don’t let them get on your com- puter. As soon as they get on the computer, they change the settings.” She reminds her group that “Whatever pops up from the internet, never click okay,” she says. Ms. Berry says there are all kinds of peo- ple are in the computer club and stresses, “there is no such thing as a stupid ques- tion.” She will gladly show you something 100 times if that’s what it takes. She really loves the idea of computers for seniors. “When older adults use their computer,  CATHY MINZ Don’t be afraid - get online m newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 4, 200915 BATH FITTER® Fashion History Productions Sponsored byJanet Marks of How Solutions A good time was had by all at the 5050+5050+ SHOWSHOWSHOW 6th Annual Thank you to everyone that attended and a Special Thanks to our sponsors at Whitby Superstore upstairsFred Pavia of Sheridan Nursery Thanks to all our guest speakers & fashion show organizers.

That can only mean one thing -- there’s a big track meet on the way. It turns out Felicien’s not the only one excited about her first chance to compete in Toronto as a pro in the Festival of Excellence meet at Varsity Stadium, head- lined by Jamaican star Usain Bolt on June 11. The last time the former world champion hurdler ran in a big meet in the GTA was in elemen- tary school. “It’s been that long,” said Fel- icien. “My mom was talking to me. She said, ‘I really have the butterflies.’ I said, ‘Mom, we have two weeks to go. You can’t be hav- ing the butterflies yet. You’ve gotta relax.’ But she gets extremely ner- vous when I compete. She hasn’t really been on site in so long.” This is a comeback season for the 28-year-old Felicien, who missed the Beijing Olympics last summer because of a foot injury. The Pickering native will face Whitby rival Priscilla Lopes- Schliep in the “Durham Duel” for first place in the women’s 100- metre hurdles. The favourite has got to be Lopes-Schliep, the Olym- pic bronze medallist who has the world-leading time this year of 12.52 seconds. Felicien’s best time of 12.80 sec- onds ties her for eighth among hurdlers this season. She clearly relishes the underdog role right now. “I like pressure. I feel like I can thrive under pressure,” she said. “I can handle it well, but I am find- ing my need to be the underdog and not being the favourite and having the expectations. “I need to focus on what I need to do. There’s no doubt in my mind that I can rise to any occa- sion. I just need to be fit first and I just need to be at my maximum. I’m not there yet, but I’m well on way to being there.” Felicien plans to be there at the Canadian championships, also to be held at Varsity Stadium, at the end of the month. She’ll use that as a launching pad towards the world championships in Ber- lin Aug. 15-23. She reckons she’s presently at 75 to 80 per cent of her potential. Felicien was not among the main contenders at the last worlds in Osaka, Japan, two years ago, but surprised with a silver-medal fin- ish. That set her up as a contend- er for the Beijing Games, until she was felled by her foot injury. The foot is now healed. She has to do a lot of maintenance, but that seems a small price consid- ering there’d been concerns she could end up with chronic tendi- nitis, chronic pain or early onset of arthritis. “At this point, I feel like I did before the injury happened as far as my physical capabilities,” she said. On the mental side, Felicien finds herself delving back into the book The Pursuit of Excellence by Dr. Terry Orlick, something she read a lot when she won the world title in Paris in 2003. “You kind of forget how you got there,” she said. “You’re not as sharp. You don’t do the little things you did before. I’m finding, ‘Let’s revisit some of that, let’s fig- ure out some of the things we did before and get back to that.’” She recognizes the mental prep- aration for the Festival of Excel- lence will be a bit different because it’s at home. She normally associ- ates being in Toronto as a time to relax with family and friends, but this time it’s all business. “In my mind, I’ve got to flip the switch and go, ‘This is not a mini vacation. This is not time for you to just chill out and relax. You still have a job to do,’” she said. “So three or four days preparing for Excellence has to have the same focus and commitment that you have for a Golden League race in Europe.” She’s already got tickets for her family at the finish line. Whether her mother, Cathy Moe, can bear to watch is another matter. Tickets for the event can be bought at ticketbreak.com. Randy Starkman is a sports reporter for the Toronto Star WILL RUN IN TORONTO, JUNE 11 Felicien relishes role of underdog RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND AJAX -- Todd Nakasuji from the Archbishop Denis O’Connor Chargers turns and runs up the field as Chad Tutton from Courtice Secondary gives chase. The two teams faced off in Ajax in LOSSA boys’ field lacrosse recently. They also met in the consolation final of the A/AA provincial championships in Peterborough on Tuesday, with Courtice prevailing 11-10. FIELD LACROSSE D’OC comes up short on the field PETERBOROUGH -- Denis O’Connor made it to the final game, albeit not the one they would have preferred, at the A/ AA Field Lacrosse Festival held earlier this week in Peterbor- ough. In fact, they didn’t get the desired result either. In the round robin, the Ajax school finished with a 1-2 record after beating Mother Teresa by a 9-1 score, but dropping 9-2 and 9-3 decisions to Holy Cross and Hagersville respectively. The third-place finish in pool play relegated them to the conso- lation playoff round, where they advanced to the championship game with an 8-3 decision over Lakefield District in the semis. In the final, D’OC was edged 11-10 by Courtice Secondary. James Malloy (6), Christain Kirk (2), Todd Nakasuji and Adam Zulak accounted for the scoring in the final game. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 4, 200920 AP OFSAA GIRLS’ SOCCER St. Mary could have different look BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The St. Mary senior girls’ soccer team that started the OFSAA Quad-A girls’ provin- cial championship this morning won’t look anything like the one that will finish on Saturday if the school makes it to the gold-medal game. The school’s prom, slated for Friday night, will result in as many as 10 players leaving the Niagara Falls tournament and returning home. In their absence, coach Scott McDavid will be forced to enlist the help of eight Grade 9 and 10 students to finish out the round robin and carry on into the playoff round should they make it. “It’s going to be really tough with those junior players fill- ing in,” he admits. “The coach- ing staff is extremely disappoint- ed, but it’s the girls’ prom and it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance for them to go to prom. It’s difficult. Our expectations aren’t as high as they should be.” It’s the third consecutive trip for St. Mary to OFSAA, having reached the gold-medal game last year, only to settle for silver after a loss in double overtime. The team is coming off an unde- feated LOSSA season at 15-0-3, winning the LOSSA title in con- vincing fashion with a 6-0 drub- bing over Sinclair in the final. Despite the dominating record this year, and success a year ago at OFSAA, the team is seeded ninth heading into the 16-team provin- cial tournament, while Mother Teresa from London holds down the top spot. But those num- bers aren’t reflective of the past season. Rather, the seedings are based on the strength of associa- tions at OFSAA over the past five years. Aside from the run St. Mary had last year, the LOSSA champi- on hasn’t fared too well at OFSAA since 2004. The tournament will open on Thursday with a morning game against St. Anne (Lakeshore), fol- lowed by a tilt with St. Elizabeth (Thornhill) in the afternoon. The round robin closes out Friday morning -- with a different and younger lineup -- against Inn- isdale (Barrie), followed by the quarterfinals in the afternoon, as the top two teams in each of the four pools advance. The semifinals and medal games are Saturday, but McDa- vid isn’t expecting any of the play- ers to return if St. Mary should get that far. “A lot of the girls have plans beyond prom, so I’m not expect- ing them back for the semis or the finals,” he says. “Our goal is to win both games Thursday, get to the quarters and go from there.” Ajax Men’s Slo Pitch TEAM GP W L T P F A MASTERS 45+ Sweat Sox 3 3 0 0 6 38 12 St. L Chuggers 4 3 1 0 6 68 45 Antiques 3 2 1 0 4 62 36 Eastmen 3 2 1 0 4 33 31 Silver Stix 3 2 1 0 4 51 51 Sharks 4 1 3 0 2 57 52 Slugs 4 1 3 0 2 39 66 Relics 4 0 4 0 0 32 87 May 4 Antiques 20 Sharks 9 Slugs 29 Relics 10 Chuggers 19 Silver Stix 16 Sweat Sox 9 Eastmen 5 May 11 Sweat Sox 13 Relics 7 Sharks 24 Relics 6 Silver Stix 20 Antiques 18 Chuggers 16 Slugs 3 Eastmen 11 Sharks 10 May 25 Sweat Sox 16 Slugs 0 Antiques 24 Slugs 7 Silver Stix 15 Sharks 14 Chuggers 21 Relics 9 Interactive activity and learn a life skil while having fun!

A total of 1,071 athletes repre- senting 100 schools from Durham, York and Georgian Bay participat- ed at the 2009 championships. A total of 34 athletes qualified to represent Pickering at the 2009 OFSAA Track and Field Cham- pionships, Canada’s largest track meet, beginning today at Varsity Stadium in Toronto. After 20 years, the Trojan relay teams finally got their acts together, winning six and placing second in the eight divisions that were con- tested. Each relay team is a strong contender to win OFSAA medals. The top team performer was Noelle Leon-Palmer, who won five gold medals. The ninth grader won the midget girls’ 80m hurdles, 100m, 200m and was a member of the junior girls’ 4x100m relay and open girls’ 4x400m relay team. Other highlights included Maya Daly in the midget girls’ division with gold-medal wins in the 400m, and a member of the gold-medal junior girls’ relay team and open girls’ 4x400m relay team. Doron Williams had triple gold-medal performances in the junior boys’ 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay. Matthew Anane had his gold- medal performances in the midget boys’ 300m hurdles and the midget boys’ relay as well as bronze med- als in the 100m hurdles and long jump. In the junior boys’ division, Xavi- er King stunned the crowd and his provincial rivals with his record- breaking performance in the junior boys’ 3000m. After his pedestrian pace in the 1500m and a silver- medal performance, Xavier is set- ting his sights on leading the pack at the OFSAA finals. Pickering sends a fairly strong team to the provincial champi- onships with athletes competing in 30 individual events and seven relays. HOCKEY Oshawa General de Haan invited to World Juniors camp OSHAWA -- Calvin de Haan has a big summer ahead. The gifted Oshawa Generals defenceman will hear his name called, possibly in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft later this month, then in August, he will be one of 41 skaters off to Saska- toon for Canada’s National Junior Development camp. From there, that list of 41 will be whittled down to those invited to the December camp as Canada attempts to build a roster fitting to win a sixth straight gold medal at the World Junior Hockey Champi- onships. A rookie with the Generals last season, de Haan had eight goals and 63 points, trailing only Brett Parnham (76) for the team lead. Other players of local interest to receive camp invites include Bow- manville’s Tyler Cuma and Cour- tice’s Greg Nemisz. Cuma was in the running to make the squad that won gold in Ottawa in January, but a knee inju- ry sustained during the December camp took the Ottawa 67s’ defend- er out of contention for a spot. Meanwhile Nemisz’s invite comes fresh off the heels of help- ing the Windsor Spitfires capture the Memorial Cup. He joins three other Spitfires on the list in Tay- lor Hall, Adam Henrique and 2009 gold medalist Ryan Ellis.

Ajax allowed only two goals against in seven games, thanks to a strong defence played by Sara Longmire, Lauren Sims, Kend- ra Thompson, Stephanie Zaban, Christine Caswell and goalie Rachel Milne who posted five shutouts. Ajax beat Phoenix de Vaudreuil from Quebec 2-1 in the semifinal game, thanks to the great play of its midfielders, Yasmine Arba- ji, Saskia Kersten, Emily Kohek, Delanie Neal and Kristen Thomp- son. Ajax scored first against Ottawa Royals White in the gold medal game, with Ottawa tying the game up at the end of the half. Ajax kept most of the play in the second half and scored the winning goal on a strike to the back of the net in the final seconds of the game. Ajax scored 17 goals in the tour- nament on some nice goals from forwards Karli Anderson, Chris- tianne Anthony, Tyra Gordon, Shauna Muir and Kristen Urqu- hart. Ajax will also get to adopt an animal for a year from the Toron- to Zoo as part of its prize. The team is sponsored by Unit- ed Store Fixtures, Ajax Downs, RP Graphics Group, Vandermeer Nursery and Westney Heights Chiropractic Centre.

Aunt of Roger Maynard and Norman Maynard (deceased) or Brantford. Cousin of Doris Oxborough (nee Baker) also of Brantford. A funeral service was held May 27, 2009 at McEachnie Funeral Home in Pickering Village in Ajax Ontario followed by interment at Pineridge Cemetery in Ajax in the company of family and friends.

She was an avid reader, gourmet cook and a animal lover. She was also an antique and art collector. Kathleen spent the last four years of her life in Ballycliffe Lodge in Ajax where she will be greatly missed by the staff. She will be loved and in our hearts forever.
