Kerry Pakarinen is on the second leg of his walk across Canada -- and his 16th pair of running shoes -- to raise awareness about homelessness. He’s pushing a nearly 300-lb. cart with necessities such as food, clothes, medicine (he has epilepsy) and dog food. His 16-month-old dog, Preacher, a 130-lb. mastiff, is along for the journey. “He’s a good companion for sure,” RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Kerry Pakarinen and his dog Preacher walked along Kingston Road on Dec. 1, on their journey across Canada to raise awareness for homelessness and pover- ty issues.

One year ago, the beds from Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital’s mental health inpatient unit were moved to Centenary hospital in Scarborough to pool resourc- es and create a more efficient department. Outpatient services and referrals continue to be provided out of the Ajax hospital. Dr. Marijana Drandic and Dr. Nosa Omoruyi are the newest members to join the Ajax team. Dr. Drandic began volunteering at a Toronto mental health facility in Grade 12 and decided the field was right for her. “I felt that this would be an ideal oppor- tunity for me, because of the expanded outpatient mental health services found here,” Dr. Drandic said. Dr. Drandic said many of her female patients find comfort in seeing a female psychiatrist, and many of them speak Cro- atian, Serbian and Bosnian, languages the Croatia native speaks fluently. She earned her bachelor of science from the Universi- ty of Toronto where she specialized in toxi- cology, and earned her medical degree at the University of Western Ontario, where she also completed her residency in psy- chiatry. She also worked in numerous mental health programs in London. Dr. Omoruyi had his own family practice in Nigeria and, after practicing there for nine years, began training in psychiatry. He said he’s always had an interest in psy- chiatry. “I enjoy the fact that I am able to direct the care that I’m giving to patients, based on their needs. I am excited to be a part of the physician team here at Rouge Valley,” he said. Dr. Omoruyi earned his medical degree from the University of Benin School of Medicine in Nigeria and completed his training and residency in family practice at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital. Rouge Valley also recently welcomed two new cardiologists. Dr. Gillian Nesbitt is the hospital’s first female cardiologist. Dr. Ray- mond Yan also joined, and both are seeing patients at both hospitals.

Oshawa Regional Councillor Nester Pid- werbecki, who is also vice-chairman of Durham Region Transit, says the project could go to Whitby or Clarington, if Oshawa doesn’t extend an olive branch. “It would be a real blow to Oshawa if we lost this deal because people are being foolish,” he said. “Other municipalities seem to be able to do things by the book, why can’t Oshawa?” At the root of the issue is a disagree- ment between Oshawa and the Region, over “unfunded liabilities.” In 2006, municipalities across Durham uploaded their individual public transit systems to the Region, creating an amal- gamated system. Now, the Region is looking to Oshawa for $8.6 million to cover things such as employee pensions and benefits - - costs, the City argues, that should be the Region’s responsibility now. At the same time, the Region received an $82.3-million provincial grant as part of the Hwy. 2 bus rapid transit project. The plan is to spend $25 million of that updating and expanding the existing transit depot on Raleigh Avenue in south Oshawa and build another depot in Ajax. Ajax has already agreed to lease land to the Region for $1 a year and Oshawa was expected to follow suit -- until the debate over liabilities started. Now, the City is using that as leverage. At its Nov. 9 meeting, Oshawa council passed a motion from Councillor Brian Nicholson that gives the Region an ultima- tum: drop the fight for the $8.6 million and pay $1 a year to lease the depot property, or else pay market value for the land, about $440,000 a year or $10 million over the 25- year lease term. Coun. Nicholson said his motion lets everyone walk away happy. “If you want $10 million in free rent, give up your $9 million claim. Or, pursue your claim and pay for the property, I think that’s fair,” he said. “If they expect us to give them the $10 million in free rent and still pursue the other $9 million, that’s a potential loss to Oshawa taxpayers of $19 million. I don’t know how any councillor could justify that.” Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said there is a deadline to spend the provin- cial cash. If Oshawa won’t work with the Region, he said other locations will be con- sidered. “We’re adamant that they have to give the land to us for $1, we will not rent that property at market value,” he said. “(Regional) staff have been instructed to start looking for sites. They are look- ing for land that is serviced and ready to go ... we know Clarington has some.” Oshawa Mayor John Gray said Oshawa stands to lose $115,000 a year in tax reve- nue, and jobs, if the depot goes elsewhere. “We’re also going to be stuck with a vacant, derelict building on a brownfield site,” he said. “Members of council are playing poker with this issue, and we’re going to end up being the losers.” The motion from Oshawa council will be dealt with by the Region’s finance commit- tee on Dec. 9.

Six males, all Ajax residents, are believed to have committed 13 robber- ies in the area of Harwood Avenue and Rossland Road during November and were arrested Nov. 18 and 19, Durham police said. The robberies involved two, three or more assailants ganging up to accost and rob fellow high school students, Durham Regional Police said. In the wake of the mid-Novem- ber arrests, robber- ies in the area have ceased, cops said. In all, 76 robbery and weapons charg- es were laid against the accused, whose identities are pro- tected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. AJAX -- Police have issued an appeal for information as they try to track down the culprits responsible for offensive graffiti in Ajax. Profanity, a sexually descriptive image and a swastika were among the graf- fiti spray-painted on a billboard on the north side of Bayly Street between Salem and Shoal Point roads, Durham police said. The offensive material was report- ed to Durham Regional Police Tuesday and Town officials were contacted to arrange its removal.

Whitby Mon-Fri 9:30-9 Sat. 9-5 Sun. 1-5 Preacher’s master said. “He keeps away the two-legged and the four-legged creatures.” Mr. Pakarinen and Preacher have been attacked at least four times with beer bot- tles and bats on their journey. “The homeless-hunting stuff is a reality,” he said. He explained Preacher is getting regu- lar vet check-ups along the way and has a winter coat to keep him warm in the cold weather, along with paw protection. They left Vancouver in 2008 and stopped in Dryden, Ontario in December of that year when an extreme frost hit. The two started their journey again this September and reached Durham Region this week. The people of Durham were a nice change from Torontonians, he said. “It didn’t feel sociable,” he said. He said an Ajax hotel let him stay for staff rates, and people there, and in Pickering and Whitby, were generous, giving away coffee and money. “I met lots of good people,” he said. In the time Mr. Pakarinen stopped to chat when the News Advertiser caught up with him in Whitby, cars happily honked and a couple people stopped by to donate cash and dog treats. One was Tim Herriott, a Whitby resident who saw Mr. Pakarinen in a Toronto newspaper and decided to stock up on dog treats in hopes of catching the two passing through town. “I wish you the best of luck,” he said. “We have to do more.” Mr. Pakarinen is from Wabigoon, Ontar- io, outside of Dryden, and used to be mar- ried and now has three adult children, whom he stays in touch with. He used to run his own renovation and landscaping company before becoming addicted to painkillers after a back surgery, and experienced severe depression. He’s spent the past 12 years on the streets, but in that time, snapped out of his depression, and decided to bring awareness to home- lessness. Mr. Pakarinen said his walk is not only for the homeless, but for the hungry and those struggling to get by. Mr. Pakarinen feels homeless programs have gone downhill since the 1980s and old buildings such as schools can cheaply be turned into places to help house them. “Let’s be Canadian, eh?” he said. He plans to build a shanty town in Otta- wa to show the federal government just how easy it is to build low-cost housing. After that, he’ll make his way to St. John’s, NL. He’s a good companion for sure. He keeps away the two-legged and the four-legged creatures.

According to a report presented by staff to the Durham Catholic District School Board recently, the board has spent almost $2 mil- lion so far on its energy action and efficient school plans. Projects completed include installing timers and thermostats at various schools, which come with a cost ranging from $100,000 to $183,000, completing lighting retrofits, relamping, occupancy sensors in gyms, and other energy retrofits, with more initiatives on the way. More than $3.5 million is budgeted for future projects.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions HEALTH CARE Heading across the border for health care is not all that bad To the editor: Although I don’t disagree with your Cross-Border Care articles from last week, I’d like to play devil’s advocate: As an American living in Canada, I’m happy to no longer hear the worlds “your HMO doesn’t cover your visit today.” When my self employed father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer, he received the life-prolonging chemotherapy in Oshawa that would have forced him to sell his home if he lived in the United States. If you’ve seen Michael Moore’s movie Sicko illustrating the flaws in the U.S. health care system, you know where I’m going with this. Everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the border. Well I’ve seen both sides and Canadians should be proud. Do Canadians have longer wait times for procedures and surgeries compared to Americans -- yes. But are all residents of Canada able to receive free health care while paying their standard taxes -- yes. With 140,000 Canucks waiting for CT and MRI Imaging as of Nov. 1, 2009, it would seem logical that the potential $164.3 million on cross border care could be better allocated in Ontario. If the majority of those crossing the borders are for CT and MRIs and that is where most of the money is being used on, why not invest in these machines and techni- cians at home? According to Wikipedia.org, an MRI costs between $1 million and $2.8 mil- lion US. Therefore from a business per- spective, the question is: is it cheaper to invest in the technology and technicians here in Ontario, or reimburse those who travel abroad for the procedures? With regards to experimental pro- cedures, this is an excellent condition OHIP has in place. Without it, every Tom, Dick and Jane requesting experimental and unproven surgery would deplete the health-care system. Therefore is it really that terrible that Canadians are going across the bor- der for health care -- I don’t think so. If a procedure is not experimental and the patient is able to wait, the care is there. If not, they can pay out of pocket and apply to be reimbursed by OHIP later on. As a Canadian, you have a choice, which is more than some Americans. Sylvia R. Fleming Pickering ANIMAL WELFARE Animals need more rights in our society To the editor: One of the biggest debates in society has been if animals have rights. Mahatma Gan- dhi once said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” (Cayman Net News). In North America, animals are pets, din- ner, test dummies and entertainment, which means animals’ legal rights are pushed aside when the safety, conve- nience and happiness of humans are put into the equation. Although some may argue that animals live peaceful and free lives, it is clear that because the lives of humans depend on exploiting them, they do not have any significant rights. Animal testing, animal abuse and using animals for clothing and accessories are just a few of the ways that these rights are infringed upon. Although the reality is that animals have little to no rights, these innocent creatures most certainly deserve some and govern- ments should definitely implement more and stronger laws to protect the lives and wellbeing of innocent animals everywhere. We cannot be fully proud of our country unless all of the members are well taken care of.

At stake is the spending of millions of dollars in a city hit hard by the recent recession. Metrolinx, the body appointed by the Province to oversee massive tran- sit improvements in the Greater Toron- to Area, has offered Durham Region $83 million to get moving on a rapid bus tran- sit project along Hwy. 2. As part of that plan, the Region wants to build two bus depots in the east and west ends of the region at a cost of $25 million each. In the west, Ajax has offered up land for the depot at a price of $1 per year. For that amount, they will see new construc- tion and new jobs in the town. The story is a little different in Oshawa. The Region wants the bus depot to be expanded at the current location on Raleigh Avenue but six of the City’s 11 councillors are asking for a little more rent than Ajax requested. Oshawa coun- cillors want $440,000 a year in rent, a figure the Region is balking at. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson has made it very clear that if the rent isn’t $1, it will look in either Whitby or Clarington for the depot. The six councillors are using the depot as a carrot to persuade the Region to back off an $8.6-million legal claim against Oshawa to help pay for employee pen- sions and benefits for transit employees. In 2006, transit systems were uploaded to the Region and the Region claims the $8.6 million is owed. The City counters the Region is now responsible for transit and it should bear those costs. That fight will likely end up in the courts and should not in any way derail the expansion of the new depot, which will bring $115,000 a year in tax revenue, new construction jobs and new employ- ees to operate the facility. Councillor Nester Pidwerbecki, who is also vice-chairman of Durham Transit, is the voice of reason in all this when he notes it would be a real blow to Oshawa if it lost this deal because of a conflict over the $8.6 million. He’s right. Unless Oshawa council acts now, the city could lose this long-term project. The repercussions could affect the entire Region by delaying the rapid tran- sit project if a site other than the existing Oshawa depot has to be found. Rezoning requests and public meetings could drag the project on for some time. We urge Oshawa council to rethink its position and make it clear to the Region the two issues can be dealt with separate- ly for the greater good of the community at large. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 3, 20097 AP $11.00 KG CERTIFIED $499 lb.

Call us today at 905-509-5700 dolanwindowcoverings.com Proposed model and sites for 2010 school year included in report DURHAM -- Four of Durham’s Catholic schools will be getting a true French Immersion program this September. The school board is expanding its current extended French program, which starts in Grade 4 and is currently available at two of its elemen- tary schools. Starting in 2010/2011, the Durham Catholic District School Board will offer French Immersion in Grade 1 at four of its locations. The expansion will bring French Immersion to St. Mark the Evangelist in Whitby and St. Patrick in Ajax, and expand the extended programs cur- rently available at Holy Redeemer in Pickering and St. Thomas Aquinas in Oshawa. A fifth site at St. Leo in Brooklin may also be considered, according to a Catholic board staff report. The extended French program would be phased out until French Immersion is fully implemented in Grade 1 to 8 in the 2017/2018 school year. French Immersion at the secondary level is cur- rently available at All Saints Catholic School in Whitby. Some of the board’s next steps in implementing the program include initiating the staff process, formulating resource needs to use the $200,000 set aside in the 2009/2010 budget, and making preparations at each site. FAST FACTS Enrolment in extended French programs DURHAM -- The Durham Catholic District School Board currently has 532 students in its extended French pro- gram. The program currently at Oshawa’s St. Thomas Aquinas draws 126 students from Oshawa, 102 from Whitby and 10 from other areas. At Holy Redeemer in Pickering, one student comes from Oshawa, three from Whitby, 150 from Ajax, 135 from Pickering and 5 from other areas. The enrolment number is seven per cent of the board’s Grade 4 to Grade 8 population. EDUCATION Durham Catholic board expands French Immersion AJAX -- St. Bernadette Catholic school is ready for books and bas- ketballs. As of Oct. 30, the new school’s gym and library were complete, fol- lowing the site’s actual opening in September, according to a staff report presented at a recent Durham Catholic District School Board meeting. The new replacement school was built as a result of the previous building being deemed prohibitive to repair. The approved budget for the project was $11.34 million, and as of Oct. 31, expenses were $11.05 million, leaving a balance of $289,390.

Organization seeks help in fulfilling kids’ Christmas wishes BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Every kid should get a chance to celebrate birthdays and Christmases says a group of Ajax women, and they’ve established an organization to help some of the Region’s neediest kids do just that. Denise Stahl, Amy McGregor, Gina MacGregor and Trish Ramenda run the Dreams and Wishes organiza- tion which works with kids referred through shelters and other community agencies. “We’re all moms and we all have an interest in this, so we meet on a regular basis and we came up with this on our own,” said Ms. Stahl who is the founder and president. Ms. Stahl works for the Children’s Aid Society in Toronto and said she saw gaps in the services available to kids which is what prompted her to start Dreams and Wishes. “Eighty per cent of children do not celebrate their birthday because of financial reasons or their family is so caught up with issues a birthday party is not their No. 1 priority,” said Ms. Stahl. The $100 it may cost to put together, for example, a Transformers-themed kids birthday party is out of reach for families on a tight budget. “What happens eventually is you stop getting invit- ed (to birthday parties) because you can’t recip- rocate and then you’re feeling ostracized,” said Ms. Stahl. That’s why Dreams and Wishes has a birthday wishes pro- gram where families receive everything they need to host a party, including plastic plates and cups, balloons, loot bags and cake mix and frosting. Popular themes for the parties include action heroes like Spider Man, Thomas the Tank Engine and Disney Prin- cesses. Ms. Stahl said she and members of her organi- zation are always scouring for sales at stores like Party Packagers and are happy to accept donations. The organization also recently held an un-birthday party, which they’re hoping to turn into an annual event. “I thought what about the children who are living at the shelters, they won’t have a chance to have a birth- day party,” said Ms. Stahl. The un-birthday party was held on Nov. 8 at the Ajax Boston Pizza where owners donated pizza and pop for the kids and the single-day event celebrated everyone’s birthday at once. Coming up, the organization is focusing on the San- ta’s Dream program where volunteers try to fulfill the Christmas wishes of kids living primarily in local shel- ters. “It’s very personalized, it’s very specific to that child’s wish, we try very hard to meet exactly what they’d like and the letters from Santa are personalized,” said Ms. Stahl. There are a couple of exceptions; if a child asks for a big-ticket item such as a video gaming system, Santa responds that his electronics department is running a little low and the child receives other age-appropriate gifts such as movie passes. However, the overall goal is to make each child feel as unique and special as pos- sible. Ms. Stahl said her organization is always looking for people and companies to sign up and help, especially with adopting a child’s wish list for the Santa’s Dream program.

Denise Stahl RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Herizon House and Y’s Wish hosted an Unbirthday Party at Boston Pizza recently, featuring a puppet show by Applefun Puppetry. The party was held for the kids and families at the shelter who might not get to experience regular birthday parties. Boston Pizza donated food, the space, and staff for the event. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 3, 20099 AP Andrew Dice Clay has made a career out of being the most outrageous and dangerous comic of his time. Dice shocked audiences and broke the rules with a never before seen style of hardcore comedy which has never been equaled to this day. Dice’s rise to fame is meteoric and unparalleled - with sold-out arena tours across the continent including two nights at Madison Square Garden, multi-platinum selling albums, starring roles in fi lms, countless TV specials, recent appearances on the hit T.V. series Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump, and the HBO series Down and Dirty. At the same time, he was blackballed by the industry and became the man to hate by every politically conservative group in the States and beyond. And who could forget his “lifetime ban” from MTV because of his “profane language and offensive jokes” at the Video Music Awards? Often referred to as the Rocky of Comedy, Dice is now ready to take back his crown. Just recently, Dice made the industry stand up and take notice when he literally hijacked the Pollstar Awards. Since then, the accolades and demand have been non-stop. Love him or hate him, Andrew Dice Clay is back, and ready to deliver his “take- no-prisoners” act that certainly isn’t for the faint- of-heart. The comic’s outrageous comedy continues to be electric, politically incorrect, macho and shocking.

Matt told Scott that his snowboarding would take him to the Olympics one day, and Scott saw the potential in the young man. He began sponsoring Matt, and Matt’s prediction came true. Now 22, he will be competing for Canada in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia this February. Scott is continuing to support this young snowboarder’s journey to the Olympics, and is currently fundraising to help pay for Matt’s living expenses along the way. Up until February 24th, the day Matt will compete for Gold, Scott will be selling T-shirts and giving all of the proceeds to Matt. The T-shirts have 2010 Vancouver Olympics on the front, and Matt’s name and images of a snowboarder on the back. “Scott has been the biggest supporter of my career,” says Matt. “He’s been supporting me the whole way.” Matt has been competing on the World Cup circuit for the past four years, and has three World Cup wins and ten total podiums. He is currently training in Colorado before leaving to compete in World Cups in Italy, Austria and Quebec, before he heads to Vancouver in February. Born and raised in Burketon, Ontario, Matt began snowboarding at the Oshawa Ski Club.

The Ajax resident scored twice to help his University of Toronto Blues men’s water polo team to the gold medal with a convincing 14-4 win over the Carleton Ravens on Sunday at the Ivor Wynne Centre Pool at McMaster University. The win marks Toronto’s sixth Ontario University Athletics title since 2002 and its fifth in the last six years. Toronto had a 12-0 record against OUA competition in 2009. It was a great season for Chung. A rookie on the team, he was the biggest playmaker for the Blues this season, leading the team with 31 goals in 10 regular season games. BASKETBALL Ajax’s McGarrity leads Lords to win NORTH YORK -- The Durham Lords men’s basketball team needed a bounceback win in the worst way and they got one over the weekend. Following a heart-breaking loss at the buzzer to George Brown, the Lords made a visit to North York to play the Seneca Sting and, behind a 25-point effort from Ajax’s Tyler McGarrity, emerged with a 72-65 triumph. With that, the Lords jump into sec- ond place in the East Region standings with a 6-3 record, while the Sting fall to 5-3 on the year. The standings are very tight with six teams having a .500 or above winning percentage including Durham, Seneca, Algonquin, St. Law- rence, George Brown and undefeated Fleming. While McGarrity led the charge offensively, Eric Smith, of Ajax, and Oshawa’s Courtney Small chipped in with 14 and 10 points respectively. Durham has two more games remaining before the Christmas break as they travel to Kingston Friday to face the 4-1 St. Lawrence Vikings and return home Saturday to host the 2-7 Cam- brian Golden Shield. Pickering resident scores twice in final game of senior year at university BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PITTSBURGH, PA -- Not only did Matthew Groves end his collegiate career on a win- ning note, but he also finished as a major contributor in his final game. The Pickering resident scored twice in the final game of the year for his Duquesne Dukes men’s soccer team, as they closed out the season with a 3-1 victory over St. Bonaventure. The game wrapped up a four- year career at the school for Groves, an expe- rience that went by much too fast for his lik- ing. “I remember coming in and everyone tell- ing me it goes by fast, but you don’t really believe it because you have four years ahead of you,” said the 21-year-old from his dorm in Pittsburgh. “It’s just like everyone says. It shoots by and before you know it, you are going into your last game. I still remember stuff from my freshman and sophomore years like it was yesterday.” Since graduating from Dunbarton, Groves has grown both as a person and a player the past four years. Categorizing himself as more of a technical player coming out of high school, he can handle a more physical style of play now, which was needed to have an impact at the NCAA level. He has also accepted the responsibili- ties that go along with being a high-profile player in the community, often being asked to speak to teams or groups. It’s something he is comfortable with and enjoys, trying to impress on young players that hard work and a strong work ethic are needed to get to the next level. Just last week, while home for the Amer- ican Thanksgiving, he spoke to a group of players from Whitby. “I remember being younger and players would come in to talk to us and it’s one of the things you remember,” he said of being a role model. “I remember bigger guys coming in and thinking ‘Wow, he’s a man.’ Because as a kid, everyone looks so big to you. “I remember stuff they would tell me about hard work, so I just try to do the same thing. I tell them how important school is. Myself, I’m not the biggest fan of school, I loved to play. But it’s real important. It builds dis- cipline and you need it to get to college or wherever you want to go in life. You need an education and I try to stress those points.” He practises what he preaches, choosing psychology as his major and ending up as a member of the Director of Athletics Honour Roll. During his minor soccer days in Pickering, Groves made a number of trips overseas to play, and the thought of returning to play professionally once school wraps up in the spring intrigues him. His visits over the years included Germany, Holland, Belgium, England and Wales. Germany serves as the preferred destina- tion of choice for a pro career. NCAA SOCCER Groves ends his time at Duquesne on winning note SUBMITTED PHOTO PITTSBURGH -- Pickering’s Matthew Groves (10) chased down a loose ball during a game for the Duquesne Dukes. He just finished his senior year at Duquesne and is eyeing a pro career in Europe. It’s just like everyone says. It shoots by and before you know it, you are going into your last game. I still remember stuff from my freshman and sophomore years like it was yesterday. Matthew Groves HOCKEY Attack back in action in Stouffville AJAX -- The Ajax Attack takes a three game winning streak into Stouffville tonight in Central Canadian Hockey League play. Ajax has a record of 16-14-1, while Stouffville is 15-13-1. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 3, 200918 AP HOCKEY BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals defenceman Calvin de Haan is one step closer to sport- ing the red and white of another team. Team Canada to be specific. The star defenceman was one of 12 blue- liners and 36 players total invited to the selection camp for the 2010 World Junior Hockey Championships in Saskatchewan. “I didn’t know if it was going to happen or not, but I am pretty happy right now,” de Haan said Wednesday before a Generals practice. He first found out about his selection from Oshawa coach/GM Chris DePiero on Tuesday night, but it didn’t become official until Team Canada assistant Dave Cam- eron, of the Mississauga Majors, called Wednesday morning. ”It was a short and sweet conversa- tion,” said de Haan. “He just congratulated me and said ‘welcome and work hard at camp’.” That de Haan certainly plans to do. What he doesn’t intend on doing, however, is altering the style of play that has earned him the invite. “I think I’ve just got to play my game,” he said of his mindset. “They obviously invit- ed me for a reason. I am going to move the puck and play smart, play on the power play. They brought me there for that rea- son, I am guessing. I am just going to play my style of game.” He hopes that will be enough to earn a spot on the blueline, one that could have as many as three returnees from the club that won Canada’s fifth straight gold medal in Ottawa this past January. Ryan Ellis, of the Windsor Spitfires, Colten Teubert, of the Regina Pats, and current St. Louis Blues defenceman Alex Pietrangelo have been asked to camp by Team Canada staff. With the likelihood that those three will play huge roles, just where a player of de Haan’s ilk could fit in remains to be seen. With the Generals, he logs heavy minutes as an offensive catalyst, but for Canada the role could be different and that’s OK with de Haan. “If they expect me to block 20 shots a game or something, I’d do it for the team, for sure. It would be unbelievable,” said the defender, a first-round pick of the New York Islanders who has 14 points in 22 games with the Generals this season. Wednesday was also a good day for another player with local connections as Spitfires forward Greg Nemisz was one of four members off the defending Memorial Cup champions to earn an invite, joining Ellis, Taylor Hall and Adam Henrique. Nemisz, a Calgary Flames prospect and fourth-year Spitfire, has 22-21-43 totals in 30 games this season, good enough for fourth in OHL scoring. He will be one of 20 forwards in camp, only four of which will be returning players from last year, which leaves several spots up for grabs. Camp opens Dec. 12 in Regina.

AP MARKHAM -- After the Ajax Knights and Innisfil Win- terhawks dominated their respective Minor Peewee A divisions in the round robin, a real nail-biter of a game was played in the final of the Markham Islanders Jerry Jacobs hockey tournament. Ajax led by a score of 3- 2 late in the third period in the final game at the Thorn- hill Community Centre, only to have Innisfil score with under a minute remain- ing, forcing the game into overtime. The game fin- ished just as dramatically with three overtime periods that included a penalty shot against Ajax where Player of the Game Graham Schropp kept Ajax’s hopes alive. The winning goal came as the teams were down to the 2- on-2 format of the overtime with Sean O’Brien finding the back of the net. The boys dominated the tournament with wins over the Markham Islanders 7- 0, Scarborough Young Leafs 5-0 and the Cumberland Jr Grads 8-2, with the semifinal being played against Cum- berland Jr Grads 6-0. The Knights played with strong offence from Joel Maugeri, Zack Fleming, Ryan Schnitzler, Eric O’Reilly, Riel- ly Flynn, Adam Wheaton, Emeka Okaeme, Josh Mor- rell and Sean O’Brien. The Knights defence, made up of Hayden Brown, Ian Elkins, Connor Arnsby, Cody Row- sell, Tate Beech and Justin Parrott worked hard togeth- er to keep the goals against down throughout the tour- nament. A special mention to goalie Jacob Lebel, who opened the tournament with a shutout then had to sit out due to illness, and his call- up, Michael Mouawad. The team is coached by Bill Morrell, Jeff Schnit- zler, John Elkins, Ken Flem- ing and managed by Walt Arnsby. The team sponsors include Logue Mechanical, Binexpress, Cadillac Fair- view, Deluxe and Doctors Schmitz, Sujo and Raymond Optometrists.
