After searching for the bracelet that she said can be a matter of life or death in case of a medical emergency, Heather Jones found it under the couch. Turns out Brock, a Grade 8 student at High- bush Public School in Pickering, was asked to remove his bracelet by a referee when he was warming up for a basketball game at Vimy Ridge Public School in Ajax, and for- got to put it back on. The bracelet has vital medical information that would help para- medics should he ever have a problem. “Brock said ‘It’s my MedicAlert brace- let’ and he was still asked to take it off,” Ms. Jones said.

Resident Doris Hopper-Riede had called Pickering’s customer care depart- ment when she noticed soap foam at the base of the culverts on Pine Creek. The culverts go under the bridge lead- ing from Douglas Park to the townhouse complex off Radom Street, in the area of Liverpool Road and Bayly Street. Ms. Hopper-Riede was afraid the soap would eventually make its way into Frenchman’s Bay. The City contracts out a haz-mat team, Direct Line Environmental Services Inc., to address situations involving hazard- ous materials. Direct Line got there in time to contain the suds with a boom about 30 or 40 feet down from the cul- vert, said John Hannah, superintendent of operations. And luckily, not enough soap had got- ten into the water to cause environmen- tal damage, he said. He said “while anything other than nat- ural is not good” in the water, it was such a small amount that it was not deemed environmentally dangerous. They could have dropped in a solution to dilute the water, but the foam was only about an inch off the surface. “We chose not to do that because we didn’t see that there was an environ- mental problem,” he said. Officials are unsure of where the soap came from. Mr. Hannah said it could have been from an individual washing their car in the driveway, which is per- mitted. “Because it was deemed not to be environmentally a problem, we did not investigate it,” he said. Mr. Hannah said while the situation ended up being minor, he does appre- ciate the calls that come into customer care. “The public is our eyes and ears out there,” he said. Ms. Hopper-Riede was grateful the soap was contained quickly but feels more can be done. “I think the City of Pickering should identify the source of this water pollu- tion and put a stop to it at its source,” she said. www.petvalu.com FOLLOW US AJAX 65 Kingston Road East 905-239-4459 G KINGSTON RD.

AJAX -- An arrest has been made in the murder of an Ajax man who was stabbed to death outside a restaurant last November. Victor Cameron, 32, had finished having dinner with a friend at a Keg restaurant at Salem and Kingston roads when both men were attacked outside the establishment on the evening of Nov. 18, 2009. Mr. Cameron died of stab wounds sustained in the attack while the other man suffered serious injuries from which he has since recovered. On April 29, Durham homicide detec- tives charged Jason McCartney, 25, of no fixed address, with second-degree murder and attempted murder. Mr. McCartney was in custody at the Lindsay jail when he was charged, police said. The suspect made a court appearance Thursday and was ordered held in custody. The investigation continues.

Employees, employers gather to promote workplace safety BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- While it’s important to remember those killed and injured on the job, people must work to ensure the stagger- ing numbers decrease, said a local Canadian Union of Public Employees member. It’s great to gather, said local CUPE 129 act- ing president Rick Saunders at the National Day of Mourning ceremony in Pickering, “but the numbers are too high people, way too high.” Members of Pickering council, officials, firefighters and other workers and employ- ers gathered April 29 to remember those who have been killed or injured on the job in the past year, and to discuss the importance of decreasing the numbers of people killed at work. The National Day of Mourning was official- ly recognized by the federal government in 1991 and is now recognized in 80 countries. “Across Canada, more than 1,000 workers are killed on the job every year,” said deputy mayor and Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bon- nie Littley. She added others die from diseases caused by exposure to toxic substances in their work- places, and thousands more become perma- nently disabled. Mr. Saunders rhymed off more statistics. According to the Canadian Centre for Occu- pational Health and Safety, from 1993 to 2008, more than 14,000 people lost their lives due to work-related causes in Canada. In 2008, 1,036 people were killed in the workplace, which is equal to more than two a day. With all the legislative changes regarding worker safety, Mr. Saunders questioned why the numbers are increasing. “The answer to these questions, I think, is we have to look at ourselves,” he said, add- ing everyone from workers to supervisors to managers must all enforce rules to ensure occupational safety. Worker deaths and injuries can be reduced through education and awareness cam- paigns, Coun. Littley said. “Implementing and ensuring safe working conditions is something we strive for all year round,” she said. “It is part of the way that we do business at the City of Pickering.” The City reduced compensation injury inci- dents reported to the WSIB in 2008 by 56 per cent, she said. And in 2009, that decrease was maintained. The City also reduced its claims cost for lost working days in 2009 by 75 per cent. The ceremony ended with the Canadian flag lowered to half mast.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions Employers, workers share equal responsibility for safety It’s hard to conceive that in this day and age of sophisticated technology, work- place safety programs and skilled workers, men and women continue to be injured or killed in the pursuit of their employment duties. According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, more than 1,000 people lost their lives in work- related incidents in 2008, and more than 900,000 were injured or became ill. Those numbers are staggering and serve as an urgent reminder that workplace safe- ty is a responsibility that must be equally shared between employers and employ- ees. Pickering officials gathered last week with representatives of several local employers to mark the National Day of Mourning and to take the opportunity to underscore the collective commitment that we all share. But workplace injuries or fatalities aren’t solely related to falls, dangerous machin- ery or toxic chemical exposure. Too many employees still report to workplaces that give health and safety short shrift. They work on machines that lack proper main- tenance, confront electrical and spill haz- ards or spend long shifts indoors with poor air quality. Pickering’s high-profile gathering last week reinforces its commitment as a lead- ing employer to meet its health and safety obligations, to create a work atmosphere that allows for two-way dialogue and a shared responsibility for overall safety. But it also serves to notify other city employ- ers that they, too, must do what they can to ensure the health and safety of their work- ers. As union leader Rick Saunders noted at the event, to reduce those statistics, to cre- ate workplaces that promote safety and responsibility, “we have to look at our- selves”. That approach, that belief, promot- ing both individual and collective respon- sibility, is extremely important. Each of us, worker, supervisor and manager, must observe and enforce the rules the ensure occupational health and safety. The alarming statistics, unfortunately, remain fairly consistent on a year-over- year basis. But workplace safety is critical to the functioning of the business, the pro- ductivity of the employees and, ultimately, profitability. An ongoing commitment to educate and inform both workers and employers, a con- sistent safety-first approach to whatever the job requires, and a combined sense of responsibility between workers and man- agers to make workplaces safe and secure will help reduce injuries and deaths. - Pickering News Advertiser durhamregion.comINDUSTRY Best news about GM is that jobs remain in Durham To the editor: Has General Motors really paid off its loan already? There have been many comments in the news lately about GM’s road to recovery and how quickly it has pulled out of pos- sible bankruptcy to paying back enormous sums of money. Maybe at a low interest rate, at taxpayers’ expense; maybe it will never all get paid back. What we should all be glad to see is keep- ing jobs in this province and also in this city. It is really heartbreaking knowing how much industry we are constantly losing to Third World countries. The car industry has always been a merry-go-round of record sales and lows. Keeping up with changes and overproduc- ing has constantly been a huge problem. Chrysler almost lost itself in the 1980s until it started producing the K-car. They made a miraculous recovery and numer- ous profits for the production of that vehi- cle for many years. I know a lot of people don’t feel sorry for the overpaid auto worker, but it isn’t the easiest job. Weeks of working day shift, then night shift, hours of overtime and much uncer- tainty regarding your future can be tough on a family. I hope GM continues to recover, no matter how much they have or haven’t paid back. It’s nice to see they are still in Oshawa. Christine Carmichael Oshawa FUNDRAISERS Pizza day funds used to purchase flat-screen TV To the editor: I would like to bring up the topic of money at my school and how it is being spent. I attend Dr. C.F. Cannon Public School in Oshawa. I am a Grade 8 student with aver- age marks. At my school lately there have been many students bringing home forms to fill out for “pizza day”. This occurs every Friday as a treat for the students for lunchtime. While my mom was filling it out, she asked a very interest- ing question: Where does all this money go to when it gets to the school? Until recently I had no idea where it went after the pizza was paid for, until I saw a flat-screen TV in the office. I went into the office and saw that the screen was facing toward the area where the kids sit while in the office. I asked the secretary where they got the money to pay for this and she said the money from the pizzas paid for it. I was a little bit upset with that answer. As I stood there in the office watching the TV, I saw that there were other kids and teachers on it in a slide show format. Then I asked “Why did you get the TV and put it in the office?” She replied that it was to help the kids strive to do better so they can be on the screen. But why spend the money on a TV is my real question. Why couldn’t they have spent it on school supplies or better gym equipment or new text books to help us do better in school or start a lunch program for those who can- not afford to bring a lunch everyday like they do for breakfast? One of the things that bugs me about this is that some kids are deliberately getting into trouble so they can be sent to the office just so they can see themselves on TV. I do not think that this will help make students better. I asked other Grade 8 students what they thought of the new TV and the majority of them feel the same way I do. We all think that this was pointless. We were also won- dering what else they spent our money on that was wasteful. If you were a parent at my school and you got a form every week asking for money for something, wouldn’t you want to know where it is going or being spent on coming from your paycheck? These are questions that parents and students should be ask- ing. Thank you for listening to one little voice. Britney McDavid. Grade 8 Dr C.F. Cannon Public School Oshawa CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com NETHERLANDS -- In the town of Holten, the appreciation of the Dutch people toward the Canadians who helped liberate their coun- try during the Second World War lives on, despite the 65 years that have passed. “They always want to come up and shake your hand and kiss your cheek,” said Port Perry student Katheryn Churchill, who is attending the 65th Victory in Europe anni- versary celebrations in the Netherlands, along with about 2,400 other Canadian youth through EF Educational Tours. From a red helicopter, poppies fell from the sky over the Holten Canadian War Cemetery and into the hands of Netherlands children racing toward them. The cemetery, a small manicured graveyard containing the bod- ies of more than 1,000 Canadian soldiers, is a staple in the Dutch community where the schoolchildren still regularly show their remembrance and respect. On May 4, Canadian students got to witness and take part in the remembrance services held to honour some of their countrymen. During the ceremony, Katheryn and three other Port Perry High School students pre- sented a peace flag to Princess Margriet -- the only member of Dutch royalty born on Cana- dian soil. Her family sought safety in Canada during the Second World War. “It is a bittersweet history we share,” said Canadian Veterans Affairs Minister Jean- Pierre Blackburn, noting the 7,600 soldiers who died liberating the Netherlands and the 230,000 Dutch who perished during the Sec- ond World War. Although Holten is a much smaller ceme- tery than the one Canadian students visited the day before in Groesbeek, its significance is in no way forgotten to the townspeople. About 5,000 people from Canada and the Netherlands packed the graveyard in what is a ticketed event. “A very special welcome to her Royal High- ness Princess Margriet, born in Canada,” said the service’s master of ceremonies, Margriet Hanewinkel, as she stood near the cemetery’s Cross of Sacrifice. Ms. Hanewinkel, chairman of Stitching van de Nationale Feestdagen, extended an espe- cially warm welcome to the many Canadian students who stood out in their red Canada jackets. “It will be up to you to make peace and a world come closer,” she said. Metroland Durham Region Media Group reporter Crystal Crimi and photographer/videographer Sabrina Byrnes will be following the students as they make their way across the Netherlands May 1-8, 2010.

When throwing out items like broken glass, non-fl uorescent light bulbs, mirrors and razors, please keep the safety of your family and our collection staff in mind. Place sharp objects in a cardboard box, tape securely, and write “SHARP OBJECTS” on the box with a marker. Place the box at the curb for safe pickup during your garbage collection week. What about syringes, needles and medical waste? Used medical supplies such as catheter lines/bags and dialysis tubes can be placed out with your regular garbage. We encourage residents to “double- bag” this material being set-out for garbage collection. However, hypodermic needles, medical sharps and syringes should not be placed in the garbage, Blue Box or Green Bin. Syringes and needles used in the administration of health care (human and veterinary) should be placed into a sealed container labeled “SYRINGES” and returned to an approved take-back location such as your local pharmacy or a Regional Waste Management Facility. I recently read an article regarding a new waste management by-law the Region is proposing. I was unable to attend one of the public information sessions. What is this all about? On June 24, 2009, Durham Region Council approved a draft waste management by-law for consultation and further development with area municipalities, residents of Durham and other stakeholders. The proposed by-law consolidates all Durham Region residential waste management programs under one single regulation. There are no new programs, policies or fees with the creation of the proposed Waste Management By-law. This proposal was posted on the Region’s website on March 17. Comments are to be received by July 5. All comments received during the comment period are being considered as part of the decision-making process by The Regional Municipality of Durham. Copies of the proposed Waste Management By-law are available online at www.durhamregionwaste.ca or in print at the Durham Region Clerk’s Department, or by contacting: bylawconsultation@durham.ca or by calling 1-800-372-1102 ext 3720.

Russett Ave.62 Somerville St.Simcoe St NorthOSHAWA LITTLE THEATRE Joins other agencies in seeking judicial review KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Durham Children’s Aid Society, along with 10 other agencies, is going to court in the hope of persuading the provincial government to give them more money. “We have applied for a judicial review,” Durham CAS executive director Wanda Secord said. The hope is the review would lead to the “Ministry (of Children and Youth Services) reviewing its budgetary pro- cesses so CAS, including ours, get the funding they need to provide the servic- es we’re mandated to provide,” Ms. Sec- ord said. Children’s aid societies across Ontario have been pushing the Province to pro- vide more funding. The Durham agency has a deficit of about $3.8 million. Last year, the Durham agency, along with several others, underwent a review of financing. However, the review “didn’t result in any substantial changes,” she noted. That deficit meant the agency had to lay off 31 staff members, eight per cent of its workforce, last month. Even with the layoffs, the agency will have a $2.7- million shortfall. It’s an “unprecedented step for the CAS to apply for a judicial review,” Ms. Secord said, but added the agency takes the providing of services “seriously. This is the last step, to seek a judicial review.” The request for the review was filed Tuesday at noon in court in London. “We made our regional office aware we were proceeding with a judicial review when we met with them back on the first of April,” she stated. “We advised them. We have a good working relationship with a regional office. We want to be as transparent as possible. We advised them we took this step because of the funding situation.” The other agencies joining Durham are the Children’s Aid Society of Brant, Cha- tham-Kent Children’s Services, Family and Children’s Services of St. Thomas and Elgin, City of Kingston and County of Frontenac, Haldimand and Norfolk, Huron Perth, Oxford County, Nipissing and Parry Sound, Timiskaming Child and Family Services, and Child and Fam- ily Services of Timmins and District.

Bill Fisch York Region Chairman and CEO Kathleen Llewellyn-Thomas Commissioner, Transportation Services Police looking for two male suspects PICKERING -- Police are looking for two suspects after an armed robbery at a Pickering convenience store on May 1. On that day around 10:10 p.m., Durham police officers responded to an incident at the Sandy Beach Milk Convenience store on Bayly Street in Pickering. Police say two male sus- pects, one armed with a handgun, entered the store and demanded cash. The suspects stole cigarettes and addi- tional store property before fleeing the scene. Police are unsure which direction the men headed and found nothing on a search. The employee was alone at the time of the robbery and was not physically injured. The suspects are described as male, black, wearing dark clothing and had their faces covered. If you have information about the investiga- tion: CALL 1-888--579-1520 ext. 5365 (Det.

If he had a medi- cal emergency during the game, Ms. Jones said first responders would not have known about his existing condition, and the implications could have been serious. The referee told Brock there were no exceptions to the rule that does not allow jewelry to be worn during games, and since Brock didn’t want to make a scene, he put the bracelet in one of his street shoes. “I was very angry,” Ms. Jones said of learning what had hap- pened. She immediately contacted her son’s school principal and officials from the Durham Dis- trict School Board. Highbush principal John Briggs e-mailed her to say under The Ontar- io Physical Education Safety Guidelines, hanging jewelry cannot be worn. Exemptions include medical alert identifi- cation and jewelry worn for reli- gious reasons. In these cases, they must be taped or securely covered. Although satisfied with a response, Ms. Jones wants to go further. She feels more people need to know about the situ- ation, noting she’s learned of similar stories recently. MedicAlert has taken notice of Brock’s incident, as well as oth- ers. Although MedicAlert presi- dent and CEO Robert Ridge said parents and children in orga- nized sports should check with teachers and coaches about their policies and practices, the onus should not be on them alone. “Schools and sports associa- tions should also take steps to ensure that everyone involved knows what to do about Medi- cAlert identification,” he said. “It should go without saying that MedicAlert identification must be worn at all times.” Ms. Jones agrees, and said all teachers, not just physi- cal education teachers, should know MedicAlert bracelets are exempt. But she noted that it shouldn’t stop with school offi- cials. “Parents have to ask their kids too,” she said. “The only reason I asked the question is because his bracelet wasn’t on his wrist.” Ms. Jones has been in contact with the Durham District School Board’s Lisa Millar, superinten- dent of Pickering schools. Ms. Millar said the situation was “a miscommunication over what was thought to be jewelry” to ensure the safety of the chil- dren, but is grateful that Ms. Jones shared her concerns with the board. While the board has a pro- cess to ensure communication regarding MedicAlert is fol- lowed, principals from across Durham, as well as representa- tives from Durham Elementa- ry Athletic Association and the Lake Ontario Secondary School Association, are being remind- ed of the rules. “All the groups involved in overseeing and providing guidelines for sporting events are aware of the expectations and protocols, and this is an opportunity to revisit them and remind them,” Ms. Millar said.

Two young offenders arrested PICKERING -- Two teenagers are learning crime isn’t cool after being arrested for stealing ice cream and threatening workers at a Pickering supermarket. Durham police said that short- ly after 11 p.m. Wednesday two suspects were seen stealing ice cream products from the fro- zen food section of a Sobey’s on Brock Road. When store employees approached the sus- pects outside the store, one boy pulled a knife and threatened the workers while the other indicated he had a gun, police said. Police were called as the sus- pects fled on foot. Cops soon rounded them up, recover- ing ice cream products from a knapsack along with a knife and a pellet gun. Two 17-year-old Pickering youths face charges including robbery, weapons possession and breaches of court orders. Their identities are protected under the Youth Criminal Jus- tice Act. CRIME Pickering ice cream thieves learn crime isn’t cool PICKERING -- Police are turning to the public for assistance as they try to locate a Pickering teenager who’s been missing for a week. Danielle Larsen, 14, left home in the company of a male com- panion April 27 and hasn’t been seen or heard from since, Durham police said. It’s believed Danielle, who is new to the area, was bound for Toronto. While the girl has left home before, she’s always returned, police said. Danielle is white, five- feet-four and 135 pounds, with long dark blond hair. When last seen, she was wearing black tights, an olive jacket and black running shoes and was carrying a plaid purse.

The Region of Durham has launched a new online tool that helps residents find out what day of the week their waste is collected. By entering their home address in the search field, residents can get informa- tion on curbside collection programs, including blue box, green bin, garbage, leaf and yard waste, and bulky and metal goods. “We have found that the waste collec- tion calendar is one of the most popular links on the Region’s website,” says Cliff Curtis, commissioner of works for Dur- ham Region. “This tool provides a simple way for residents to quickly access this informa- tion.” In Whitby and Oshawa, garbage and green bin col- lection is the responsibility of the municipalities and not the Region, so that information in those communities is not included in the new online tool. However, resi- dents of Oshawa and Whitby can search for information on the blue box program. Durham Region will continue to mail its annual residen- tial waste collection calendar to all local residents, but the new online tool provides an additional service to residents who’ve misplaced their calendar or prefer accessing infor- mation online. To access the new online tool, visit www.durhamregionwaste.ca and click on the calender image.

With that in mind, Durham Region’s health department has begun its West Nile virus surveillance activities. The virus has been found in birds, mosquitoes, horses and humans since 2001. Last year, the provincial Health Ministry reported three confirmed human cases in Ontario. There were no confirmed human cases last year in Dur- ham and no mosquito pools tested positive for the virus. Humans contract the disease after being bitten by an infected mosquito. A mosquito gets the virus by feed- ing on the blood of a bird carrying the virus. The disease can’t be spread from one human to another or from a bird to a person. Last year, the Province and Durham stopped collecting dead birds and having them tested for the virus. “In previous years, the Ministry’s dead bird surveil- lance program was used to determine if West Nile virus was present in the community,” explained Laura Free- land, manager of environmental health with the Region’s health department. “As the virus has been detected in Ontario since 2001, we operate on the principle that it will be present every year.” Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, and residents are encouraged to follow several steps to ensure there aren’t breeding areas: • Remove standing water from around your home where mosquitoes could lay their eggs; • Empty and clean bird baths weekly; • Chlorinate rain barrels or cover them with mos- quito screening; • Remove all tires on your prop- erty; • Dispose of any water containers in your yard such as tin cans, ceramic pots, wading pools, planters; • Check that roof gutters are clear and drain prop- erly; • Make sure drainage ditches are not clogged; • Clean and chlorinate swimming pools and out- door hot tubs; • Drain water from pool and chair covers; • Keep grass, shrubs or hedges trimmed regular- ly; • Do not wash grass clippings, raked leaves or other organic material into roadside catch basins; • Make sure doors and windows have screens that are tight fitting and in good repair; • Turn over compost piles frequently; Another precaution includes wearing shoes, socks and light-coloured clothing with long sleeves and full-length pants when outside, especially during evening, nighttime or dawn when mosquitoes are most active. Also, use insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin. The Regional health department will also con- duct a larvicide spraying program.

A year later women gained the right to run for election to the House of Commons and the election of 1921 was the fi rst federal election that included female candidates. Here are more historical fi rsts for Canadian women in government. First Canadian Woman Member of Parliament - 1921 Agnes Macphail was the fi rst Canadian woman to be a member of parliament. She was a strong activist for penal reform and founded the Elizabeth Fry Society of Canada, a group working with and for women in the justice system. First Canadian Woman Senator - 1930 Cairine Wilson was the fi rst woman appointed to the Canadian Senate, just months after the Persons Case gave women the right to sit in the Senate. It wasn’t until 1953 that another woman was appointed to the Senate in Canada First Canadian Woman Federal Cabinet Minister - 1957 As Minister of Citizenship and Immigration in the Diefenbaker government, Ellen Fairclough was responsible for introducing measures which went a long way towards the elimination of racial discrimination in Canadian immigration policy. First Canadian Woman on the Supreme Court - 1982 Bertha Wilson, the fi rst woman justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, supported the broad application of the Canadian Charter of Rights. She is probably best known as the author of the Supreme Court decision overturning Criminal Code of Canada restrictions on abortion in 1988. First Canadian Woman Governor General - 1984 Jeanne Sauvé was not only Canada’s fi rst Canadian woman Governor General, she was also one of the three fi rst women members of parliament to be elected from Quebec, the fi rst woman federal cabinet minister from Quebec, and the fi rst woman Speaker of the House of Commons. First Canadian Woman Premier - 1991 Most of Rita Johnston ‘s political career was as a municipal councillor in Surrey, British Columbia, but her foray into provincial politics landed her several cabinet minister posts and a short stint as Premier of British Columbia. First Canadian Woman in Space - 1992 A neurology researcher, Roberta Bondar was one of the six original Canadian astronauts selected in 1984 to train at NASA. Eight years later she became the fi rst Canadian woman and the second Canadian astronaut to go into space. First Canadian Woman Prime Minister - 1993 Although popular at the start of her brief tenure as Prime Minister, Kim Campbell led the Progressive Conservative Party to the greatest defeat in Canadian political history.

Lions looked to the Durham Region Sunday in hopes of filling some roster voids through the Cana- dian Football League draft. Coach/GM Wally Buono and his staff made nine selections over the six-round draft on May 2 and picked up a pair of for- mer Oshawa Hawkeyes in fourth rounder Akeem Foster, a big wide receiver from Ajax, and offensive lineman Adam Babou- las, of Oshawa, in the sixth. For Foster, who recently returned home from his final year of university at St. Fran- cis Xavier, becoming one of the newest members of the Lions has taken a little time to set in. “It’s kind of surreal right now for me,” said the 23-year-old Foster, who didn’t even pick up football until his Grade 12 year at Notre Dame in Ajax. “It’s sink- ing in kind of with everyone reminding me though.” Foster spent the draft hanging out with a group of close friends before getting the call just before 2:30 p.m. from the Lions to noti- fy him that he would momen- tarily be selected. “I was waiting on the phone call and at 2:19 I believe, the B.C. Lions’ Wally Buono called asking me whether or not I was ready to be a Lion,” Foster recalls. The response was easy. “I said ‘yes’,” the six-foot-five, 219-pound Foster added with a laugh. “It was probably the best phone call I received in my life.” As for Baboulas, a six-foot- four, 300 pounder out of the St. Mary’s Huskies and Paul Dwyer Saints programs, the nerves started kicking as the draft pro- gressed and 23-year-old still hadn’t found a home. “I was expecting to go in the later rounds. I wasn’t going to go up front but the nerves were still there,” he said. “Picks 35 and 40 came, still nothing and I hadn’t talked to my agent yet. Then 41 came and the B.C. Lions picked me. I was just ecstatic. I heard my mom in the other room yell- ing my name. It was a great, great feeling.” Though he went late, Babou- las says just being picked is an honour considering some 700 to 800 players were eligible for the draft. “To be among the top 40 or 50 guys, it felt pretty good,” he said. Baboulas first caught the eye of B.C. while playing in the East- West Bowl game a year ago. Lions O-line coach Dan Dorazio was a coach on that team and was intrigued by what Baboulas brought to the table and the two sides kept in touch leading up to the draft. CFL DRAFT Lions come calling for Foster EMERY GBODOSSOU, STFX ATHLETICS NOVA SCOTIA -- Ajax’s Akeem Foster (88) was drafted by the B.C. Lions in the 2010 Canadian Football League draft. AKEEM FOSTER MINOR HOCKEY Ajax team wins date with Alexander Ovechkin Minor midget AE Knights top winners in random draw BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The biggest win the Ajax minor midget AE Knights had this season may have come off the ice. The hockey club had reason to celebrate after learning it was the winner of a Power of 8 draw held in conjunction with the Ener- gizer battery company and the NHLPA. In addition to receiving a cheque in the amount of $8,000, the team has also won the right to have Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals come to town to run a practice. “I didn’t even know we were entered,” says coach Jim O’Hara. “I got a call from a mother back in January and she said we won a contest and I said ‘OK, what was that’.” Turns out a grandmother from the team filled out an entry form on behalf of the hockey club. When the entries were pulled in the random draw, the Knights were the lucky winners. “We’ve been trying to get this thing set up since January, but it just never worked out,” O’Hara says of trying to arrange to have Ovechkin come to town. “So, at the end they said we’ll have to wait until playoffs are over.” That came a little sooner than Washington would have liked, as the team was upset in the open- ing round of the playoffs by the Montreal Canadiens. “I can’t wait to get on the ice with these kids and show them some tricks,” said Ovechkin in a release when the contest was announced. “I remember how great it was to skate with some of my heroes when I was a kid, and I look forward to the opportunity to show them that their hockey dreams can come true.” So far, the cheque for $8,000 arrived in the mail. O’Hara pur- chased 18 Ovechkin jerseys hoping to have them signed by the popular Capitals forward and presented to the players. In a show of unselfish generos- ity, the team donated $1,000 on the weekend to the Ajax Minor Hockey Association. The money will be put into a special fund the organization has established for kids who are unable to afford to play hockey. The team is still working on a date to have Ovechkin oversee a practice. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 6, 201021 AP Ajax, Pickering players impressive at national event DURHAM -- Ajax’s Fred Reid became the youngest Cana- dian men’s doubles champion and Pickering’s Nicole Pirko reached the women’s open dou- bles finals. From a field of 300 players in various levels and age catego- ries, the two Durham squash professionals enjoyed major successes in the open events at the Canadian doubles squash championships. The Ridley Windows and Doors- and Sun Life Financial- sponsored event was hosted by the Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club and other Toron- to venues and included teams from across Canada and the United States. In the men’s open category, formerly dominated by sea- soned professionals, the ama- teur 20-year-old Reid shocked an appreciative and largely vet- eran crowd at Toronto’s Badmin- ton and Racquet Club when he withstood the tactical onslaught from former world No. 1 dou- bles professional Gary Waite on the forehand wall. Paired with Mike Pirnak, a for- mer world No. 2 doubles pro- fessional and 1999 winner of the event from North York, the team capitalized on a speed and volley advantage with a 15- 12, 15-12, 15-4 win over Waite and partner Scott Stoneburgh, a four-time men’s open cham- pion. Reid takes over the record as youngest winner of the event previously held by his partner, Pirnak. The two play doubles out of Mayfair Racquet Club in Markham. “We played well and didn’t make many errors,” said Reid, who coaches squash at the Ajax Community Centre and is a national squad and professional touring singles player. “We covered the court well for each other, we definitely had a speed advantage and just con- tinued to force the play.” In the women’s open catego- ry, Pickering’s Nicole Pirko lost 15-10, 15-10, 15-7 in the finals with partner Jody Warden of Toronto to world No. 1 doubles pros Stephanie Hewitt and Jes- sica DiMauro of Toronto. Pirko is Pickering Recreation Centre’s squash professional and heads up a busy doubles squash pro- gram at the facility’s two new doubles courts that were com- pleted last fall. Competition was also held in various age groups and results are available on-line at www.squash.ca/canadiandou- bles/2010/index.htm “This was the largest num- ber of entries we’ve ever had for this event,” said tournament chair Pat Richardson. “We were especially pleased to see a big- ger representation nationally. Alberta and Manitoba in partic- ular had more players than ever before.” SQUASH Success comes in doubles at Canadian championships SUBMITTED PHOTO DURHAM -- Pickering’s Nicole Pirko, left, and partner Jody Warden, second from right, reached the finals in the women’s open catego- ry at the Canadian doubles’ squash championships.
