I’ve had friends die while serving overseas, it means a little more to me than it did,” said Adrian Rizzuto, a 34-year-old veter- an. “I would just like to see it be across the board equal treatment. I just don’t think they should be different in how they treat the vets.” His union said an outdated OPG policy is to blame, one that recognizes veterans up to the Korean war but none after. An OPG spokesman is accusing the union of using Remembrance Day as a negotiating tactic for the next collective agreement. In September, Mr. Rizzuto, who has worked at OPG for six years, asked for Remembrance Day off. He served as a gun detachment commander in Kandahar for almost eight months and thought he was entitled to the day, which OPG gives to veterans. In late October, Mr. Riz- zuto was told he was being denied the day off. “They did mention that I wasn’t entitled to it in my collective agreement, but said they were only denying me. I felt very singled out,” said Mr. Rizzuto, who took the issue to his union. OPG spokesman Ted Gruetzner explained that under the collective agreement negotiated with the Society of Energy Professionals union, Mr. Rizzuto doesn’t quali- fy for Remembrance Day off. However, the Afghan vet was free to take the day off as a vacation day, he said. “It’s really important to understand we’re not denying this individual the right to take this day off and grieve his fallen comrades. We’re proud of the service he’s done,” said Mr. Gruetzner. “It’s a time accounting issue.” In the other OPG union, the Power Workers Union, all veterans get the day off without having to use holi- day time. Mr. Gruetzner said that was part of the agree- ment negotiated with that union last year. Society of Energy Professionals union representatives said OPG shouldn’t wait for a new contract to make sure all veteran employees are treated fairly. Brian Rob- inson, the union communications officer, said the OPG policy for their union was last updated in 1981 and stops at the Korean War. “I don’t think we should wait for the formality of contract negotiations to do the right thing,” said Mr. Robinson. “A veteran is a veteran.” The union OPG local vice president, Joe Fierro, said there is at least one other Afghanistan veteran working for OPG who is upset about not being given Remem- brance Day off. He said there could be others who sim- ply booked the vacation day without complaining to their union. “We want it brought to attention that not all veterans are equal in the mind of OPG,” said Mr. Fierro. The OPG spokesman said OPG held Remembrance Day ceremonies around the company and a memo with employee Remembrance Day stories was circulat- ed. “We respect all veterans,” said Mr. Gruetzner. The Society of Energy Professionals’ contract is up at the end of the year and negotiations on the next agree- ment have already begun. Mr. Gruetzner said OPG was “offended” that the union was going public with an issue OPG sees as part of the contract negotiations. “On a day like this, which really is about Remem- brance, it’s become a labour relations issue and we don’t think that’s appropriate,” said Mr. Gruetzner. The union contends the issue is not part of the new contract, but an OPG policy that could be updated without negotiations. “All I want them to do is update their own internal policy. It’s not our collective agree- ment at all,” said Mr. Fierro. “We’re not trying to get a whole bunch of money for a whole bunch of people. It’s Remembrance Day off for two people -- that we know of.” A Cuddly Gift for You!

The men, one of whom is believed to have had a handgun, forced their way into the kitchen at Pho Saigon Noodle Shop on Liverpool Road when an employee went outside to throw out some trash, Durham police said. But when they were confronted by a worker inside, the men fled the scene with- out stealing anything. Diners in the restau- rant were unaware of the robbery attempt, police said. CRIME Four sought in Pickering robbery attempt Damage to cop cars estimated at $7,000 AJAX -- Police officers were lucky to escape injury when a suspect repeatedly rammed two cruisers with his car Monday, police say. At around 11:50 a.m. on Nov. 14, officers responded to a family dispute in the area of Salem and Taunton roads in Ajax. Officers arrived, parked their vehicles on the road and went inside the victim’s residence. Police say after hearing a loud noise from outside, the officers went to investigate and saw a man repeatedly driving his vehi- cle into their parked cruisers. Both police cars were damaged and one had to be towed from the sene. Police say the man was highly agitat- ed and verbally challenged the officers to pursue him. Police chose not to follow in an effort to de-escalate the situation, but the man was located and arrested without incident shortly after. The victim received minor injuries form the assault but didn’t require immediate medical attention. The officers were not injured either, but damage to both cruisers is about $7,000. A 24-year-old Ajax resident was arrested for assault-related offences and held for a bail hearing. His identity is being with withheld to protect the identity of the vic- tim.

I’m confused. Is it legal or not? No, I’m not talking about the controver- sy over smoking. I know smoking is legal, well, until you try to exhale somewhere. What’s confusing me is trying to figure out the difference between a legal arche- ological dig and illegally desecrating a grave. Not that I plan to do either. Newspapers often have news articles with an accompanying picture of human remains that were unearthed somewhere causing great excitement for archeolo- gists. The remains are scientifically exam- ined and then usually put on display in a museum for anyone to gawk at, the deceased having no choice in the matter. I think that’s dead wrong or should I say, doing wrong to the dead. What doesn’t seem to disturb the diligent diggers is the fact that they have disturbed someone’s final resting place. Is there a statute of limitations on being allowed to rest in peace? If I toddled off to a local cemetery with a shovel and started digging up a grave, I would be arrested on the spot, or more accurately, on the plot. I’d be committing a felony and even the Oxford dictionary defines a felony as “crime regarded by the law as grave.” Honest, I didn’t make that up. Is being unearthed a fate that could await all of us who will be nestled in the ground after we’ve departed this world? It’s no wonder that people want to be buried in their Sunday best. We’ll never know who will be looking at us in the future. I don’t look that great right now. I can’t imagine how I would look a thousand years from now if I was dug up. I’m all for scientific knowledge and advancement. However, if I wanted to be someone’s science project, I would leave my body to science now and not welcome being dug up in the future. I suppose I could address my concern by being cremated. My last smoke on earth. And while on that topic, I think that sci- entists should be concentrating on more pressing issues. Why aren’t they busy trying to develop non-toxic cigarettes for the very addicted among us? Because they know that smokers are a dying breed? Dead is dead no matter how you get there. Go ahead. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. -- Karen Houston is a Durham Region resident, a former Opinion Shaper with This Week and still amuses herself by writing all the time. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 19, 20106 & Editorial Opinions WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright AP Celebrating the Métis culture in Durham Region I’ve been busy digging through some pressing issues Durham Region’s Métis community has come a long way since being for- mally established in 2003. A combination of benign neglect from fellow citizens and groups in Durham and a reluctance to celebrate their culture and heritage locally left the region’s Métis community, more than 2,000 strong, on the fringes of society. Durham Métis Council president Robert Pilon knows well the experi- ence of growing up Métis in Durham in those difficult days. He and fellow community members routinely faced discrimination and had few resourc- es to raise awareness to confront the problems they faced and effect change. Today, the Durham Métis Council can claim victory in its ongoing effort to join the larger community, share Métis heritage with Durham residents from east to west and north to south, and celebrate its past, present and brighter local future. The annual Métis Heritage Festival every June in Oshawa continues to grow and draw interest, the council offers sewing circles, com- munity potlucks, family literacy pro- grams and a traditional dance group to celebrate an important part of Métis culture. And a timely funding package of $137,000 from the federal government to the local Métis council will expand the local effort to raise awareness and build knowledge of the Métis commu- nity. To that end, master canoe maker and local elder Marcel Labelle will be work- ing with local high school students to build a 25-foot Voyageur canoe made entirely of natural, traditional materi- als. As well, local school children and community groups will be offered a taste of Métis culture with traditional dance lessons offered for free. The Métis have a deep, rich and con- flicted history in Canada, one that’s worthy of celebration and preserva- tion. Historically, the Métis emerged from the mixed ancestry of Indian women and European men and grew into distinct communities, with vari- ous ancestral permutations, through the generations. Today, the Métis National Coun- cil estimates that its members make up fully 26 per cent of Canada’s total Aboriginal population. Here at home, the local Métis can now continue to educate fellow Dur- ham residents about their culture, cel- ebrate the rich diversity that exists in Durham and further establish their rightful place as an active and engaged community in the region. Let us all celebrate together, build bonds and join the Métis as neigh- bours, friends and supporters.

Monday marked National Philanthro- py Day, which celebrates the acts of giv- ing and kindness throughout the world to make it a better place. Ms. Martens and all Humane Society board members are strictly volunteers. She’s been donating her time with the Humane Society since 1990, and has been the president for the past 14 years. Her involvement started when she’d simply drop off items to help the animals, and was eventually asked if she’d like to join the board. She accepted the offer and worked her way up to her current post. As president, whether Ms. Martens is attending meet- ings or scheduling pet photos with Santa Claus, her duties are all over the map. While Ms. Mar- tens has seen her share of sad stories when neglected or abused animals are brought into the shelter, she looks at the brighter side. “I think the big thing for us is, we know if we weren’t there to do that for them, what would happen to them?” she said. “We see the worst of the worst but we see absolutely wonderful people who come through when (the animals) need them.” And her heart warms up when residents do their best to help out, including chil- dren who contribute to the building of the new shelter, following the devastating fire in December, 2008. “They have emptied their little piggy banks to buy bricks and things,” she said. Ms. Martens has been a nurse in the Rouge Valley Health System Ajax and Pickering hospital’s intensive care unit for 32 years and has learned dollars and vol- unteering make a difference at the hospi- tal, too. Claremont resident Michael Head, senior partner in Walker Head Lawyers, a law firm based in Pickering, is one of those people who financially makes a difference in Durham. He recently made a personal donation of $25,000 to the Ajax hospital’s Image is Everything campaign to help purchase the hospital’s first MRI. “It’s part of what we owe to the commu- nity,” he said. “(My wife and I have) been here for 30 years. We feel an obligation to support the community.” Mr. Head and his wife donate to between 20 and 30 charitable organiza- tions throughout Pickering and Durham, and he’s also spent time volunteering. He is past president of the board of directors for the United Way of Ajax-Pick- ering-Uxbridge and was also past presi- dent and one of three founding members of the Head Injury Association of Durham Region. The MRI donation was the biggest sin- gle one he’s made, but Mr. Head said a big chunk of his funding usually goes to the United Way, since it supports a number of different charities. He said all of the lawyers at Walker Head volunteer in the community in one way or another, whether it’s sitting on boards of charitable organizations, or spending time at a nursing home. He hopes to see more local lawyers help out. “I’d like to encourage other lawyers in Ajax and Pickering to get involved,” he said. “I haven’t seen their participation in much in the many years I’ve lived here.” THE SURVEY SAYS: A recent survey by BMO Harris Private Banking found 76 per cent of high-net-worth Canadians find it’s important to donate personally to the com- munity. The poll was conducted by Harris/Decima, which surveyed 459 Canadians who have $1 mil- lion in total investable assets and at least share in the financial decision-making process of their household. It found that despite the recent recession, two thirds of affluent Canadians plan to give away one to three per cent of their wealth this year, and that 59 per cent of respondents report the recession has not impacted their donating habits. It also found 91 per cent of women say it’s important to personally give back to the commu- nity, compared to 72 per cent of men. Marvi Ricker, vice president and managing director of BMO Harris Private Banking, shared tips for those looking to become philanthropic: • Have a plan: Think about an issue or cause that is important to you and will motivate you to contrib- ute time, energy and money. • Do your research: Learn about the chosen cause and the organization to understand where your funds could be allocated to the greatest effect. • Get outside help: Speak with your financial adviser, who can help you determine how much money to dedicate to your cause, whether it be on a regular basis or a one-time donation. PICKERING from page 1 There are so many organizations out there that just need that little bit of help. Karin Martens, Humane Society of Durham Region president COMMUNITY Pickering lawyer makes case for philanthropy MICHAEL HEAD DURHAM -- As part of Women Abuse Awareness Month, local experts will be talking about the issue at a special event on Nov. 24. Local agencies will be on hand to pro- vide information and resources to help prevent woman abuse, including tools to help recognize the warning signs of abuse and provide support. A panel discussion will address chal- lenges associated with intimate rela- tionship abuse including mental illness, addictions and issues faced by lesbian, bisexual and trans women. One in five homicides in Canada involves the death of an intimate part- ner and women are disproportionately the victims of these crimes, account- ing for 83 per cent of intimate partner deaths. The event runs from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 24 at the Durham YMCA, 99 Mary St. N., in Oshawa. Admission is free and refreshments will be available. Everyone is welcome.

The Durham Senior Honour Concert and Jazz bands take to the stage on Nov. 27 at Ajax’s J. Clarke Richardson/Notre Dame community theatre. Roughly 60 students from Durham’s public, Catholic and Christian schools will blow their horns and bang their drums as they tackle some challenging pieces. “They are hand-picked by their local teachers based on repre- senting the school as one of the school’s finest musicians,” says J. Clarke music teacher Mary Bell- inger. She led a recent concert band rehearsal as the band worked on the tricky Danzas Cubanas by Robert Sheldon. Bellinger sepa- rated and heard the flutes, saxes and trumpets playing their parts. With the entire band she called out sections of the tune, starting at the end and going back into the number a bit further each time. “Let’s take it from the top,” she finally says. And after the song is finished, Bellinger dispenses some quali- fied praise. “There’s a lot more work to be done but you’ve made a lot more progress tonight than I thought you’d make,” she says. Kaipa Bharucha, a flutist in the band, says “the music is hard- er than we do in our regular schools.” Bharucha says when she was younger, she always wanted to play an instrument. In Grade 6, she took music lessons in Ajax and now takes private lessons in Oshawa, crediting her teach- er, Donna Sykes, for lighting her musical fire. “She’s the one who really made me fall in love with it,” says the Pickering High School student. Remember nearing the end of high school and having no idea what you wanted to do with your life? Bharucha doesn’t have that problem. “I want to become a high school music teacher,” she says. “I’m going to audition this year for university.” Two rooms over, teachers Rob Isabella and Mark Lynch were taking the jazz band through the Gershwins’ Strike Up the Band. As an 11 year old, David Eatock had a friend who played drums so it was natural for him to pick up a bass guitar. In six years, the Anderson Collegiate student has become an accomplished player in the jazz band. Eatock lists Jaco Pastorius, Vic- tor Wooten and Abraham Labori- el when asked which bassists he likes. He’s also in a band, The Ele- phant Graveyard, and writes music. He’s not in music to make a fortune, but for the love of it. “When I write music, I never think, ‘I’m going to make a lot of money off this’,” Eatock says. Randa Khoury, a concert band member who plays baritone saxo- phone, tried out instruments and mouthpieces when she was look- ing for an instrument to play. “I tried out the flute, but I couldn’t make a sound,” says the All Saints Catholic Secondary School student. “The sax worked for me and I went with it. It just kind of took off from there. I liked the sound of it; I liked the feel of it.” Khoury’s played the sax for six years and says it’s incredible how many people she’s met through the band who share the same pas- sion for music. “It’s the best experience I have ever had in my life,” she says. “I will probably replay the moments of honour band and re-live them countless times.” She says the audience can expect a range of music at the concert, “from almost a classical- style piece to almost salsa.” Bharucha says she’s learned how to play with and listen to other musicians as a part of the band. “It’s cool because it’s not just kids in our schools but kids from other schools,” she says. “You make lots of good friends here. It’s fun.” At the concert, the bands will be under the direction of two, high- profile musicians. Colin Clarke, founder and artistic director of the Toronto Youth Wind Orchestra, is lead- ing the concert band and eight- time Juno-nominated guitarist Michael Occhipinti is taking the reins of the jazz band. The concert is at 7 p.m. and the general public is welcome. Reserved seating tickets are $10 per person in advance or $12 at the door. Advanced tickets are available by contacting Bellinger at bellinger_mary@durham.edu. on.ca.

Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 19, 201020 AP Trojans OFSAA bound in basketball after beating Lady Cougars in senior girls’ LOSSA final BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The Pickering Trojans did something that no other team was able to do this season, and the accomplishment has earned them a trip to the OFSAA basketball championships. The underdog Trojans pulled off an upset at the LOSSA Quad-A senior girls’ basketball champion- ship game on Wednesday night, dethroning the defending cham- pion and No. 1 seed from Notre Dame 60-54 at the Campus Recre- ation and Wellness Centre on the UOIT Durham College campus in Oshawa. Notre Dame had all of the acco- lades coming into the game, mak- ing their sixth trip in a row to the LOSSA final, having represented the area at the past three OFSAA provincial championships, and came into the game without a defeat on their record (35-0) this season, including a 50-40 win over Pickering in September. In the GTA rankings, it was Notre Dame in first and Pickering at two. But Pickering took advantage of its size, speed and depth, jump- ing out to a 14-4 lead in the open- ing minutes, and then hanging on late as a 14-point lead with 5:30 left in the game evaporated down to one with less than a minute to go. But some clutch foul shooting by Tekima Millington-Rowe, sinking five of six attempts with less than 18 seconds remaining in the game, salted the victory away. “It’s a fantastic feeling,” said Pickering head coach Naomi Scott of winning LOSSA. “Going into the beginning of the season, we knew our potential. We had the best bench in this region. We’re very deep. We wanted to capitalize on that and we did. We pressured them and it worked. “It’s big. It’s about the girls com- ing together and peaking at the right time during the season and I really think they did.” Notre Dame came into the game without Brianna Thomas, who suffered a knee injury in a Whitby tournament just prior to playoffs, and then Dakota Whyte fouled out with 6:54 left in the game and Pickering up 47-39. It left a huge hole in their lineup, but they didn’t quit. Even down by eight at 55-47 with just 2:40 left on the clock, they cut it to one point with one minute left, giving themselves a chance. “We’re without Bre, she’s one of the top players in the province. She’s got lots of university scouts looking for her. And then when the going gets tough, we get Dako- ta with five fouls, so we’ve got two university-bound people on the bench and what does our team do? Come back within one with one minute left,” said head coach Rose Booker in praise of her team. “Never count us out is what I’ve learned about my team. I’ve been never so proud of them as I was in this game. When we brought it down to one point, I have never been more proud of my team than all the times we’ve gone to OFSAA.” Notre Dame led just once the entire game, 28-27 at one point in the second quarter. Other than that, Pickering was in control through- out, leading 20-19 at the end of the first quarter, 32-28 at halftime, and 47-37 after the third quarter. Millington-Rowe led the way for Pickering with 15 points, none big- ger than the five free throws she hit late, turning a 55-54 lead into a more comfortable 60-54 margin. “It feels amazing,” said the Grade 11 student who played senior last year, and was on the opposite end of a 58-40 loss to Notre Dame in the LOSSA final. “We worked so hard all season long. We had to build ourselves up to get the confidence and get everyone on the same page to win. We knew it wasn’t going to be an easy game.” As for having the outcome in her hands late in the game on the foul line, she said she welcomed the chance. “I’m happy I got the opportu- nity. I’m happy I made my free throws. When I was on the line, I wasn’t really thinking about any- thing. That is what I practise and I knew I could make the shots. I just knocked them down because I wanted to win really bad.” Scott noted that winning LOSSA was a long process, not just includ- ing getting on a run at the right time this season. “The last two years we really talk- ed about what it means to play for your school,” said the coach. “We talked about heart and pride. We also talked about leaving every- thing on the floor. “We talked about it all week at practice. We come, we play the best game we can, we leave everything on the floor and whatever happens at the end, we can live with it.” The Quad-A OFSAA senior cham- pionship will be in Hamilton from Nov. 25-27. In the junior final that preceded the senior game, Pickering came up just short of making it a sweep, falling 54-48 to Sinclair.

Both schools fielded excellent football teams through the 1960s and 1970s and both schools discontinued their football programs for many years before returning in 2005 and 2008 respectively. The Rebels captured the Tier Two championship in 2005 while the Red Hawks will be trying to capture their first senior title since 1968. The Rebels are undefeated in eight games including two playoff wins while the Red Hawks have reeled off six con- secutive wins, including two single-point road victories in the playoffs, after start- ing the season with back-to-back losses. The two teams did not meet during the regular season. The junior champion- ship game will follow the senior game on Saturday with start time set for 4 p.m. Pine Ridge, which has yet to taste defeat in eight games, will line up opposite the Eastdale Eagles, who carry a 7-1 record to the championship. The Eagles, win- ners of their past seven games, suffered their only loss (25-20) playing the Pumas during the opening week. The game will feature two standouts. Meschach Green, who, in addition to handling the place kicking, has recorded 19 touchdowns this year, while Drew Pottle, who like Green is a league MVP finalist, will be lining up behind the centre and calling the plays for the Eagles. Tier Two semifinals O’Neill 15 Pine Ridge 14 For the second consecutive game, the Red Hawks came from behind in the fourth quarter to record playoff victory. With O’Neill trailing 14-1 after three quar- ters, Taylor Zak and then Jordan Stone with a minute remaining in the game recorded touchdowns to advance their team to the championship game for the second consecutive year. O’Neill: Taylor Zak TD; Jordan Stone TD; Taylor Smith 2C; Jeremy Alexander S Pine Ridge: Cordel Clarke TD; Randall Inniss TD; Duncan Mitchell 2C Port Perry 38 Uxbridge 1 Led by Mitch Vandenberg with two interceptions, including one for a touch- down, the Rebels defence held their northern neighbours to only one scoring point. Nathan Scott, Mitch Tones, Ryan Bullock and Dylan Barkwell also contrib- uted majors as the Rebels advanced to the Tier Two senior championship for the first time since 2005. Port Perry: Connor Haslam FG, 4C; Nathan Scott TD, S; Mitch Tones TD; Mitch Vandenberg TD; Ryan Bullock TD; Dylan Barkwell TD Uxbridge: Dylan Smith S Tier Two Junior Eastdale 41 Uxbridge 6 Paced by the two touchdown efforts of Konaar Bell, Riley Palmer and Matt Cox, the Eagles advanced to the Tier Two junior finals with a convincing 41-6 vic- tory over Uxbridge. Eastdale last captured the junior title in 2003 (Tier Two). Eastdale: Konaar Bell 2TD; Riley Palmer 2TD; Matt Cox 2TD; Ben Donnelly 5C Uxbridge: Mitchell Winkel, TD Pine Ridge 44 Dunbarton 0 The Junior Pumas booked their ticket to the championship with a three-touch- down outburst in the opening quarter including an 86-yard run by Chris Hawke. The Pumas, who captured back-to-back junior titles in 1992 and 1993, will be try- ing to capture their third junior champi- onship. Pine Ridge: Meschach Green 4TD; 5C, FG; Chris Hawke TD; Alex Kaziev TD.

COLUMN JIM EASSON The Annandale men’s team that won the Dominion Club Ontario curling cham- pionship is skipped by Chris Van Huyse with Tim March, Patrick Janssen and Tyler Anderson. The team now advances to the Canadian championships to be held in Prince Edward Island Charlottetown and Cornwall Curling Clubs Nov. 23-28. Live scoring can be found on curlcast on thedominioncurls.ca. Annandale will host the Zone 6 playdowns for the senior men and women Nov. 19-21. Annandale has entries skipped by David Gaudette and by Gord Norton. There are 10 men’s teams entered and two will advance to the Regional in East York Dec. 4-5. An Annandale junior team skipped by Ben Bevan with Tyler Sagan, Carter Adair and Jake McGhee, coached by Jennifer McGhee, traveled to the Ottawa Valley Curling Asso- ciation Junior Cashspiel Nov. 5-7. The team was sidelined after five games. The next event for the team is the Zone 6 junior play- downs to be held in Sutton Nov. 20-21. Two other Annandale junior teams skipped by Michael Bryson and Nathan Scott are also entered in the double knockout zone. Two winning teams will advance to the Regional at the Oakville Curling Club Dec. 4-5. On Saturday Nov. 6, Annandale hosted the popular Bantam/Junior Bonspiel. It includ- ed two eight-end games, lunch, snacks and prizes for all. Sixteen teams participated in the competitive draw and another 16 in the non-competitive draw. In first place was the Scarborough Country Club team skipped by Cameron Henry. In second place was an Annandale team of Corey Gaudette, Nathan Scott, Alexandre Wagner and Joe Flett, while a Peterborough Curling Club team placed third. Thanks from convenors Lori McMulkin and Sharon Lalonde went to all of the club volunteers. The defending Ontario championship team of Glenn Howard has Pickering resi- dent Richard Hart at vice, and the pair of Brent Laing and Craig Savill at front end. Next on their calendar is the Sun Life Finan- cial Invitational Curling Classic, from Nov. 19-22. The top teams in the world will com- pete for $100,000 in cash prizes in Brant- ford. Meanwhile, in Windsor Nov. 3-7 at the Grey Power World Cup of Curling, two-time Brier champion Jeff Stoughton upended Ontario favorite Glenn Howard 6-4 in one of the semifinals. Howard, the four-time World Cup champion, could only watch as Stoughton delivered a double-takeout on his final throw to clinch the game.

How deep is the ocean, how high is the sky? How many times do we think of you - How many roses are sprinkled with dew? How much do we long to see where you are - How far is the journey from here to a star? And since you've been gone, how much do we cry- How deep is the ocean, how high is the sky? On this 10th anniversary and always, know that you are forever remembered, forever in our hearts, forever our Angel. Sadly missed and deeply loved by family and friends. In Memoriam On November 19, 2008, James "Jim" Rodd lost his bravely-fought battle with cancer. Loving and devoted husband of Mary Fitzsimmons, cherished father of Cathy Fitzsimmons (Kevin Smith) and Jennifer Fitzsimmons, dear brother of Chuck (Marmie), Rosemary and Oliver, brother-in-law of Helen, uncle of Dale, Erin, Brett, Millisa, Raymond and Stefanie, you lived your life with kindness and compassion, selﬂ essness and generosity. It has been two years since you left us, and though the pain subsides, the memories never fade.

Andrew Kelly, left, and Julian Garritano were part of a Beaches team that went undefeated on the season at 14-0, then won a semifinal over London 12-5 and the final over Peterborough 10-5 to complete a perfect season. DURHAM -- The Durham West Huawei Midget AA team’s season is a tale of two stories. While enjoying great tournament suc- cess, the team is winless in six league games this season. The AAs dropped a 4-3 game in Peter- borough and then lost both ends of a home-and-home series with Kingston over the weekend. The Peterborough game was a stinger as the Huawei midgets jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first period but Peterborough countered with four straight goals, two of the goals on the power play. Jennifer Sisson with a pair and Dreua- nah Davidson were the goal scorers, with assists to Nicole Staneland and Dreuanah Davidson. Against Kingston, the AAs lost at home 2-0, with an empty-net goal, and then 4-1 in the rematch in Kingston. Shanelle Doucette staked the team to an early 1-0 lead but, once again, the team allowed four straight goals by the opposition. HOCKEY Wins hard to come by for Durham West after dropping sixth league game in a row BASKETBALL Register for Durham City Basketball Association Learn the basic skills of the game AJAX -- An opportunity to learn how to play basketball in a fun and structured environment is being offered once again by the Durham City Basketball Associa- tion. The DCBA house league has been pro- viding affordable basketball programs to the community for seven years. The asso- ciation provides a structured program designed to introduce basketball to youth in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere. The program includes 10 sessions and is open to boys and girls aged 4-16. There is a large emphasis placed on fun, while learning the basic skills of basketball. Coaches will work on developing the par- ticipants’ skills through individual and team drills each week. The players will then apply what they have learned during game play. Each week, the first half hour is dedicated to skill development and the final 45 minutes are devoted to structured league play. All players will receive a T-shirt and awards at the conclusion of the program. Registration will be held Nov. 21 and 28 from 1-3 p.m. at Ajax High School (105 Bayly Street). The cost of the program is $115 if registered on either date above. For more information, visit the website at www.durhamcitybasketball.ca or call 905-4237-4253. UOIT HOCKEY Pickering’s Larabie shines against Brock GUELPH -- After getting off to an impres- sive start, the UOIT Ridgebacks couldn’t maintain their momentum in a crushing loss to the Guelph Gryphons. Having struggled to score goals on many nights this season, the women’s hockey team jumped out to a shocking 3-2 lead midway through the second period. How- ever, things would swing in a hurry as Guelph fired back often, reeling off seven unanswered goals to take the game 9-3. After trailing 2-1 after the first period, Whitby’s Sarah Worthington fired home her second and third goals of the year to give the Ridgebacks the lead. Jill Morillo, also of Whitby, assisted on both goals and scored one of her own for a three-point night. Leading the way for the nationally ranked Gryphons was Jessica Zerafa, who had a six-point night on three goals and three assists. She leads the OUA scoring race with 16 points in 10 games. Kaitlyn Mora also netted a hat-trick for Guelph in the win. Jessica Larabie of Pickering was in goal for UOIT and left in by coach Karen Nystrom for all nine Guelph markers. Larabie was solid in the Ridgebacks’ previous outing, making 43 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss against the Brock Badgers. Morillo had the lone UOIT goal. The game winner came 1:37 into over- time as Brock’s Sara Brady set up Megan Keane who found the back of the net. The Ridgebacks will be home on Satur- day against the Waterloo Warriors, cur- rently at the bottom of the OUA standings with a 1-7-1 record. UOIT is just ahead with a 2-8-2 mark.
