On the night of Thursday, Sept. 23, the local section specifically dedicated for toddlers at the playground, affectionately known as “Toddlertown,” was damaged so badly it has to be removed. “It’s such a shame,” the local mother said. “I’m very sad about it, as are a lot of people in the community.” Pickering park’s play area burned VANDALS SET FIRE TO PINEGROVE PARK ON SEPT. 23 JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Kim Panourgias, with sons Alex and Andrew, is one of the many upset parents in the area, after Pinegrove Park was badly damaged when someone set fire to the toddler area of the playground. 1900 Dixie Rd.

PUBLIC NOTICE Region willing to look at all options KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Region residents could be pay- ing massive property tax increases for years if the Provincial government keeps to its plan to stop Hwy. 407 at Simcoe Street in Oshawa. The Regional portion of the property tax bill would go up 10 per cent a year from 2011 to 2016 to pay for new roads to handle traffic as it comes off the 407. Also, one per cent would be needed every year for 30 years to pay for the upkeep of the roads. That’s the conclusion of a staff report that noted Durham would have to spend about $255 million expanding roads to accommo- date traffic at the end of the highway. And, then there’s the almost $90 million the Region would have to spend to maintain the roads over a 30-year period. The staff report also noted that with all the money spent on expanding the road system, it would force Durham to postpone other road projects for several years. During a committee meeting on Tuesday, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said delaying work on such projects as widening the Bayly-Victo- ria-Bloor streets corridor would be “appalling. “Four weeks before an election and voting on a 10-per cent tax increase and one per cent for years after is not on. This can’t be done,” Mayor Parish said. “It should have been obvi- ous the 407 was never going to be built in one section.” Durham has an agreement with the provin- cial government to have the 407 built from Brock Road in Pickering, where the highway now ends, to Hwys. 35/115 in Clarington. In the past, the Province said the 407 would be built right across Durham and be completed by 2013. However, in the spring, the Province announced the highway would only go as far as Simcoe in Oshawa. Regional officials are upset at the possibil- ity of the highway ending there, as it would increase the amount of traffic on local roads. Mayor Parish suggested breaking the work up into three phases -- to the link between the 407 and Hwy. 401 in Whitby, to the link in Clarington and the final section to Hwys. 35/115. Building the entire length in one go “isn’t realistic,” Mayor Parish added. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson dis- agreed, saying, “Don’t sit here and do it in three phases and say it’s a compromise. It’s not. It’s a cop-out. Do it to the Clarington link. That’s the compromise,” Mr. Anderson said. He opposed the first phase stopping at the Whitby link, saying, “Why would we give them back 10 to 12 kilometres? It doesn’t make sense to me.” Having the first phase stopping at the Whitby link “is exactly what the Province of Ontario wants us to do. They’re sitting in their offices laughing,” Mr. Anderson said. “Don’t go backwards from Simcoe.” The staff report was referred back, with the direction to consider the costs of the 407 going to the Clarington link and then to 35/115.

New class to benefit residents of all ages and sizes PICKERING -- The City is now offering fitness class- es full of laughter and fun, all while providing an aerobic workout that will challenge and help build strength, agility, mobility, stability and flexibility in an entirely new way. Nia is a fusion fitness class that blends elements of martial arts, dance arts and the healing arts in a unique aerobic workout, using a variety of move- ment speeds and styles, ranges of motion and ener- gy dynamics. “At the Heart of Nia is this principle: fitness must address the human being, not just the body. Exer- cise that’s done strictly for its own physical sake, divorced from the emotions and human spirit, isn’t satisfying, isn’t fun and eventually fails,” said Julia Smith, certified Nia instructor, in a press release. Nia benefits people of all ages, body types, fit- ness levels and abilities, so those new to fitness and those very fit can benefit. The technique’s objective is to provide greater overall physical health, emo- tional well being, self-confidence and personal power. Nia Fitness classes are currently being offered at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. The program is available as part of the group fit- ness schedule and drop-in rates are available as well. To register, call, e-mail or visit the rec com- plex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd.

Mike Holmes of HGTV’s Holmes Inspec- tion is scheduled to appear as part of a grand opening celebration on Saturday, Oct. 9. Insta-Insulation, Ontario’s leader in insulation services, will host an open house at its new location at 3260 Hwy. 7 in Pickering from noon to 3 p.m. Mr. Holmes is scheduled to appear from 1 to 2 p.m. The first 100 visitors will receive a special gift and a chance to win $1,000 toward a Wall- tite Eco spray foam insulation install, as well as opportunities to discuss insulation options with experts. MIKE HOLMES POLITICS Long gun registry is miscarriage of justice To the editor: What a sad, sad man is MP Mark Holland to be so deluded into thinking that the long gun registry has saved any lives. Marc Lepine had qualified for firearms. Despite this, he went on his murderous rampage using an automatic weapon. The long gun registry would not have saved those lives. The vast majority of gun crimes are com- mitted with handguns which have been registered and controlled since the 1930s. Besides, it bears repeating that nearly all those crimes were committed using illegal weapons smuggled in from the US! It turns out that the majority of beat cops find that the registry is of little use to them. It is only the majority of police chiefs who want it. They are as deluded as Mr. Holland. In case you ask, I was born and raised in a vil- lage of 300 people, have never owned a fire- arm and have no intentions of ever owning one. However, I know many people who own guns and they are the most responsible gun owners -- and people -- anyone could ever meet. To turn these people into criminals because they cannot see the usefulness in an extremely expensive registry that has little safety value, is a complete and utter injustice. J. Beverly Ewen Ajax TRANSIT Too many strollers on the buses To the editor: I use transit in Oshawa frequently and I have seen a change in the last year or so. What is with these strollers filling up the buses? It used to be that seniors and the disabled could sit near the front of the bus, making getting on and off easier. Not any more. We have to move back to make room for every stroller that comes on. At times, I have seen six strollers on board. Come on parents, stretch your legs and give your children some fresh air. It will be good for you and your children’s health. Kathleen Louden Oshawa FUNDRAISER The best cookie ever To the editor: My name is Kersten and I’m an eight- year-old girl who loves cookies. My dad treated me and my brother to a Tim Horton’s Smile Cookie this week. It was the best cookie I ever had because it was filled with love, joy and hope. The cookie filled my heart with love because I knew we were helping our local hospital, Lakeridge Health Whitby, and its patients. The cookie gave me joy because I felt happy about helping my community and hope because I know that more people will be able to get the help they need to feel bet- ter. When I finished my cookie I had a big smile on my face. Thank you to Tim Horton’s, Lakeridge Health, and Lakeridge Health Whitby Foundation for making our community a better place to live. Kersten Roffey Whitby COMMUNITY Let those sailors smoke To the editor: Re: ‘Smoking sailors surprised tour guests’, letters to the editor, Sept. 19, newsdurham- region.com I find it petty of the writer to go to the effort of composing a letter complain- ing about the crew of HMCS Fredericton because they didn’t leave the ship to take a quick smoke break. Maybe she should consider that because of all the weapons on board that she and her family were so impressed with, the crew is probably required to stay on the ship. I have a feeling that if she was actually on the ship during a mission, and experi- enced the associated risks while on active duty, a few crew members taking a smoke break might not be so upsetting.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 20106 AP Dig deep to help the hungry in Ajax, Pickering communities After a long, hot summer, the fall season has arrived. The autumn harvest is ready and the bounty of the growing season is evident. For most of us, the arrival of autumn brings its annual explosion of natural colour in the great outdoors, heralds our yearly Thanksgivings celebration and reminds us to take a sweater or light jack- et when we’re leaving the house or apart- ment. But for others in Ajax and Pickering, there is no bountiful harvest, no extra jacket to slip on when the temperatures dip, no time or motivation to explore the sights of the season. These are the people who -- through circumstance or personal tragedy -- have to choose between rent and nutritious meals. These are the people who must rely on a hand up from the more fortunate in our community. These are the people who rely on the St. Paul’s On-The-Hill Community Food Bank and the generosity of fellow citizens to help them provide nutrition to their families, so they don’t have to make such heart-wrenching choices on a monthly basis. To help celebrate the season and the bounty of the harvest, the local commu- nity food bank is seeking donations from residents who can help provide that hand up for their neighbours in need. It’s as simple as purchasing a few extra items in your regular shopping routine, or setting aside some needed foods that are already in your pantry or fridge at home. Items needed include Jell-O, cereal, jam, crackers, cookies, pancakes, canned fruit, canned pasta, canned vegetables, canned meat, tea, sugar, baby food, formula and diapers for babies of all ages. Local groups, meanwhile, are encour- aged to do a neighbourhood or church drive to help replenish the stocks. It doesn’t take much more than a few dollars and few minutes of your time. If enough residents in Ajax and Pickering can make the effort, that unemployed res- ident will be able to breathe a little easier, the elderly shut-in will be able to retrieve some basic foodstuffs, and the single mother will be able to fill her child’s belly with nutritious meals. Fall is a time of celebration and fellow- ship. Make the effort in the coming days and weeks to stock the shelves, help your neighbour who is temporarily confront- ing difficult times, or assist a single-par- ent family in its time of need. Share the bounty we are so fortunate to possess. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 20107 P J o i n u s a t SCARBOROUGH GYM -E L I T E S Call to reserve your class 416-282-2GYM (2496) 510 Coronation Dr. Unit 15/16 www.scarboroughgymelites.com F o r F U N -F I LLED Recreational Programs for B O Y S & G I R L S G Y M NASTICS!

Ms. Panourgias often brings her three young children, ages four, five and eight, and the family dog, to play at the park, located off of Pine Grove Avenue, with other neighbourhood children. Ms. Panourgias chose to move her fam- ily from Scarborough to Pickering about eight years ago. “I was pregnant with my first and we were looking for a real sense of commu- nity, an area with a lot of schools, that was safe,” she said. Ever since, her children have enjoyed Pinegrove Park and were quite shocked to see what had happened as a result of fire when they went there to play last Friday morning. “It hadn’t been fenced yet,” she said. “It was in really rough shape. The City was there taking notes. It was just really awful looking and the kids were really upset.” Local women who run day cares from their homes rely on the park for the kids to enjoy, she said. For Ms. Panourgias, it was “a wake-up call that it’s not as safe as I think it is.” Everett Buntsma, City director of opera- tions and emergency services, confirmed Either we have a real pyromaniac in the community or they’re just really bored. Kim Panourgias PLAYGROUND from page 1 COMMUNITY Playground torched at Pickering park PETER REDMAN PHOTO Spic ‘n’ span PICKERING -- Taking part in the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 25 were, from left, Keady Morgan, 11, Mackenzie Morgan, 14, and Mikayla Morgan, 11. The girls were part of a group organized by the City of Pickering and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority that gathered at the foot of Liverpool Road for the annual event and spent two hours picking up garbage from nearby beaches. the fire and said City staff had fenced off the area and planned to remove the damaged equipment as soon as possible. The damage is estimated at $11,000 or $12,000. “It doesn’t take much to get the numbers up there,” he said. He added the deductible is so high, that it probably won’t be covered by insur- ance. The playground has been there probably about 10 years, and had a life expectancy of 20 or 30 years, he said. It’s not often that someone decides to burn down Pickering’s playgrounds, Mr. Buntsma said, but he recalled a similar situation at Doug- las Park in 2007. After replacing the damaged play equipment, it was only damaged by fire again, and the City refused to replace it again. “So we’re patient but not stupid,” Mr. Buntsma said. Ms. Panourgias fears the Pinegrove Park equip- ment won’t be replaced either, as it’s seen many different forms of vandalism in the past. Mr. Buntsma said the City will definitely look into getting a new tot play area, but “We’re look- ing at replacing it with something maybe a little more durable.” Ms. Panourgias said when her children asked who had done such a thing, her first thought was a teenager, and probably one with a little too much time on their hands. “Either we have a real pyromaniac in the com- munity or they’re just really bored,” she said. She said the park has an unnecessary park- ing lot that seems to invite crime, and thinks the space may be better suited for a recreational purpose teens could enjoy, such as a basketball court. “I hope there’s more done from the police to keep an eye on the park because it’s clearly need- ed,” she said. “I would hope that the City does something to try and keep the kids more enter- tained as well.” durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 20108 P G lf Clearance Warehouse CANADA’S PERMANENT GOLF LIQUIDATION CENTRE 5 DAY LIQUIDATION SALE!

Lake House packed Tuesday for mayors’ debate KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- If residents wanted fireworks Tuesday night, they just had to catch the Pickering mayors’ debate at the Lake House. It was a packed house as residents, local and regional candidates, and other interested parties listened to Mayor Dave Ryan, Maurice Brenner and Ken Nash challenge one another at the Rogers debate on a number of issues in an attempt to win votes in the Oct. 25 election. While Mr. Nash said expense budgets for council should be based on a percentage of income that the City receives, the topic became more personal between Mayor Ryan and Mr. Brenner. “Overall, I believe my budget is reasonable and well-managed,” Mayor Ryan said. Mr. Brenner said he’s baffled by some of the high expenses and said he’s prepared to cut his budget if elected mayor. “I want to lead by example and that starts in the mayor’s office,” he said. Mayor Ryan didn’t let that comment go unchallenged. “If you’re going to make that claim, then explain the $40,000 spent on IT equipment in your office in six years,” Mayor Ryan responded, adding Mr. Brenner always supported increases in other councillors’ expense budgets when he was formerly a member of council. Mr. Brenner said there is no question he had expenses, but “times have changed.” He added Canada saw one of the toughest recessions over the past couple of years. When asked by a resident about their visions for Pickering, Mayor Ryan said he sees a Pickering that continues to grow, one that contin- ues to invest in its downtown and that Seaton will be well-mandated. “At the end of all of the proposed development and planned develop- ment, 60 per cent of Pickering remains green,” he said. Mr. Brenner said “mine is a vision for today, a vision for tomorrow.” Mr. Nash believes growth needs to be limited and he sees a “Pickering that doesn’t grow above Finch.” In his opening speech, Mr. Nash called the phrase ‘sustainable growth’ an oxymoron. “Urban development in Pickering seems un-Canadian to me,” he said. “That’s because it’s corporate development. Candidates’ corpo- rate backers grow rich on our onerous taxes, they relax, we’re in grid- lock. After their development party, they’re gone, we’re left hung over, broke and living in their mess.” As for mistakes made during the last term of council, Mr. Nash said he feels there’s not enough transparency in City council, adding votes should be published in the paper and online. Mayor Ryan said not endorsing a council code of conduct in 2008, as recommended by the Mayor’s Task Force on Accountability and Transparency, was the biggest mistake council made. He added Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley, hoping to reclaim her seat this election, was the only member who supported it. It was one of his two supportive comments regarding Coun. Littley. Mr. Brenner said the biggest mistake made by council in the last term was deciding to drop the lawsuit against the Region of York over the expansion of the York-Durham sewage line that carries sewage to the Duffin Creek sewage plant in Pickering. The City had in late 2009 cho- ELECTION 2010 Pickering mayoral candidates square off RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- Pickering mayoral candidates, from left, Maurice Brenner, Ken Nash, and Dave Ryan, took part in an all-candidates debate at The Lake House Sept. 28. sen to launch a lawsuit against York over its decision to expand the pipe and build an odour control facility that was originally set to go in Cher- rywood. Though the facility was later changed to sit just west of the York- Durham Townline, a group of Pickering residents argued they weren’t properly consulted on the issue. In July, council chose to drop the suit when lawyers advised its chances of winning were slim. “That was wrong to reverse (the lawsuit) and abandon the communi- ty,” Mr. Brenner said. He also criticized the mayor for supporting a Durham-wide integrity commissioner, rather than hiring one specifically for Pickering. Mayor Ryan didn’t get a chance to rebut Mr. Brenner’s comments durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 30, 20109 AP Compare a t $ 1 4 9 . 9 9 - 1 8 9 . 9 9 $$4949 .99.99Double - Q u e e n - K i n g Sheet Sets 100% Cotto n - 6 0 0 T h read Coun t Plain and Sa t i n S t r i p e Assorted Co l o u r s While Supp l i e s L a s t ! special BUY www.surefi toutlet.ca 905.683.2222 Watch for our fl yer next week!

Madison Scott will represent the hospital for a year after winning her battle with cancer MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Madison Scott has played Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird in Stratford, Loui- sa in Sound of Music on a Mirvish stage and now she’ll be taking on the role of champion for SickKids Hospital. The 13-year-old Whitby student survived leukemia and her optimistic spirit during the difficult experience and determination to fundraise for the cause has earned her title of SickKids Champion. “My story is a happy story with a happy ending,” said Madison of her battle with can- cer. “Everyone’s journey is different, mine wasn’t so bad.” Every year, one child from each of the 12 children’s hospitals in Canada is chosen to represent the 2.5 million kids who visit pedi- atric hospitals in the country in a year. As a champion, she’ll help raise more money for SickKids through events. She’ll also travel to Ottawa and Disneyworld in Orlando for a celebration with the other champions from North America. Madison has been a joy at Winchester Pub- lic School since she first burst through its doors as a bright, smiling kindergarten stu- dent, said teacher Rita Evans. It’s no surprise to Madison’s long-time teacher, who tutored Madison when she was off school for treatment, that the sunny teen has been chosen for the honour. “She’s just really a ray of sunshine in every- one’s lives,” Ms. Evans said. She’s also humble and modest despite all of the success she’s had as an actress at a very young age, Ms. Evans said. The Grade 8 student never brags about her accomplish- ments and is always genuinely interested in what is going on in the lives of oth- ers. Madi- son’s mom Peggy Jo Scott said the family is turning the difficult experience of watching Madison go through cancer treatments into a positive by trying to help others now. If others before Madison hadn’t worked hard to fundraise for the hos- pital then Madison might not be here today. Now her family wants to help others whose prognosis is not as good as Madison’s was, Ms. Scott said. Madison has already been active in fund- raising for SickKids; her efforts have helped raise over $80,000, said Deborah McKinnon, a senior development officer for the Chil- dren’s Miracle Network. Accepting the position of SickKids Cham- pion is a very brave thing to do. Many fami- lies leave the hospital and want to move on, without dwelling on the hardest time of their lives, Ms. McKinnon said. But the role is so important because it helps put a face and story to the cause for potential donors, she said. And the bubbly student said she’d have it no other way if talking about her journey helps raise money to improve research and technology to treat cancer. “If my story can help make other kids sto- ries better then it’s worth it,” she said.

On Oct. 7 and 8, local police officers will be matched up with Communi- ty Care Durham volunteers to deliver meals to clients across the region. Meals on Wheels provides nutritious hot and frozen meals to those who have difficul- ty preparing food for themselves due to age or a disability. The program relies heavily on volun- teers to deliver more than 7,000 meals a month in Durham. “The Meals on Wheels program is a very important service that contributes greatly to the lives of some of our most vulnerable citizens,” says police Chief Mike Ewles. Established in 1977, Community Care Durham is a multi-service charity that provides free or low cost services includ- ing home support, respite caregiver relief and the COPE mental health pro- gram. For more information about Meals on Wheels Week: VISIT communitycaredurham.on.ca On October 25, 2010, all eligible electors will be asked to vote on how they think future Regional Chairs should be chosen. Durham Regional Council passed By-law No. 20-2010 on April 21st to submit the following question to all electors in The Regional Municipality of Durham: Are you in favour of the Council of the Regional Municipality of Durham passing the necessary resolutions and by-laws to change the method of selecting its Chair from appointment by the members of Regional Council to election by general vote of all electors in the Region? YES NO The results of the ballot question will be announced by the Regional Clerk following the October 25th election. It is important to note, however, that should there be a change in the method of selecting the Regional Chair, it will not come into effect until the 2014 municipal election.

Sarah is 36 years old, Jordan is 38 years old and they are recently married. They are referred by their family doctor for many tests and then referred to a fertility specialist. There is no defined reason that they cannot conceive and their specialist recommends treatment with commonly used drugs to increase fertility. Health is very important to Sarah and Jordan and they like to approach their health naturally. Both Sarah and Jordan are active adults and they believe in looking at all of their options when it comes to health. The idea of using very strong medication to achieve this pregnancy does not appeal to them. Sarah and Jordan decide to sit down and describe the situation to a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) they frequently work with and seek their advice. An estimated 10 to 20 percent of couples will experience problems with conceiving a baby. Many parents seek help in the process by working closely with an ND who, by using natural, non- invasive and gentle therapies looks at fertility as an integral part of health and wellness. Sarah and Jordan’s ND took a very extensive case for both partners and described an individualized program for this couple using acupuncture in combination with other therapeutics including botanical medicine, a fertility detoxification cleanse, individualized nutrition counseling and supplements, personal cycle monitoring, ovulation predicting and saliva hormonal testing and balancing. Happily with these small improvements in their health Sarah and Jordan conceived their baby within six weeks of beginning on the program developed by their Naturopathic Doctor. Other couples have more complicated cases and NDs work with these couples by directly addressing the root causes behind the main reasons for a diagnosis of infertility such as poly cystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, fibroid tumours, metabolic syndrome, low sperm count, and low sperm motility. Many ND’s now work collaboratively with fertility specialists and can offer programs that will optimize current IVF or IUI programs. Recent research has shown that by simply using Acupuncture along with IVF or IUI, conception rates can increase by as much as 20%. We have found that by using acupuncture along with the additional therapies we use as tools that we can increase this number even more and help many couples conceive a healthy pregnancy with the least intervention necessary.

Pictured, from left, are Rona Tamayo, Tisha Brathwaite, Safiya Antrobus, starters Shanica Baker, Dakota Whyte, Kadeja Hughes, Lindsay Panchan, Brianna Thomas, and Racquelle Maragh, Paulysha De Gannes-Meikle, Brittney Wharton. NOTRE DAME/NEWS ADVERTISER BASKETBALL CLASSIC Ready to defend Notre Dame Lady Cougars poised for title run in ‘News Advertiser’ Basketball Classic BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The Notre Dame Lady Cougars have a reputation to uphold this weekend. As the four-time defending champions of the Notre Dame/News Advertiser Basketball Classic for senior girls, a fifth such title is the obvious goal. And, as the No. 1-ranked team in the GTA by both the Toronto Star and hooptowngta.com, a website dedicated to basketball in the Greater Toronto Area, the expectations of success come with the terri- tory. It’s a position head coach Rose Booker doesn’t mind being in. “I think this is one of our strongest teams we’ve had at Notre Dame yet,” she says of this year’s formidable group. Usually the goal entering every season is to be the top team, so having been placed in that position so early takes a bit of a differ- ent mindset. “We always follow the rankings and we always try to chase No. 1,” says Booker. “It’s good. At first I said, ‘Don’t put us No. 1.’ I didn’t want to jinx us. “The girls are focused. They really want to win. They played all summer and they’re stronger than they were last year.” The Lady Cougars are off to a perfect 7-0 start to the season, including winning the Limestone Tip-Off tournament in Kings- ton for the fourth year in a row. Lindsay Panchan led the way in the championship game, pouring in 20 points in a 71-41 victory over Regiopolis Notre Dame of Kingston in the final game. Panchan has returned to the team for a fifth season, while other returnees include Shanica Baker, Breanna Thomas and Dako- ta Whyte, who spent the summer playing on the U17 provincial team and nationally for a 3-on-3 team. Through the opening weeks of the sea- son, Notre Dame has proven worthy of the top seeding. They travelled to Brampton to play third-ranked Campion in an exhibi- tion game, emerging with a 63-42 win. Ear- lier this week, they topped cross-town rival Pickering, seeded No. 2, 50-40. This weekend will provide the team its first chance to play at home, having rung up seven wins on opposition courts. “The big draw for us this weekend is get- ting some games on our own court,” says Booker. “We’re just looking to play well and hoping to get to the finals. We’re looking for- ward to playing at home in front of our own fans.” The success and reputation of Notre Dame is starting to spread, with Booker noting a university coach from Vermont called this week expressing an interest in coming to the school on a recruiting mission and take in some practices. Notre Dame opens the 12-team tourna- ment on Friday at 11:30 a.m. against Port Perry, and finishes pool play with a second game at 4:30 p.m. against Aurora. Teams are divided into four pools of three teams each, with the top team from each pool advancing to the semifinals on Satur- day. The consolation championship goes at 4:15 p.m. Saturday, with the championship game to follow at 6 p.m. Friday’s round robin games will be played at Notre Dame and All Saints in Whitby, with all of Saturday’s action at Notre Dame. The tournament has also attracted a couple of other highly ranked teams in the GTA in Campion (3) and St. Marguerite d’Youville (11). Here’s who’s in All Saints Titans Record: 1-2 Players to watch: Alyx Francisco, Mari- ana Gutierrez.
