An original member of People Or Planes, she’s still a member of the newer version of the anti-airport group, Land Over Landings. The Claremont resident has seen the govern- ment demolish homes in the formerly vibrant community of Brougham since the land was expropriated by the federal government for an airport in 1972. Landowners Transport Can- ada recently announced the next 60 homes to be demolished, but no decision has been made on whether an airport will go ahead. “Every house that goes, it kind of breaks your heart,” Ms. Horne said.

The bus routes in Ajax-Pickering will be streamlined with fewer routes but the number of buses on the routes increase. All the areas that are currently being ser- viced will continue to be serviced and there will be additions when new com- munities come online as well as improved evening and weekend service. Routes with poor on-time performance are being changed and improved. For example, in Pickering the 107 Rose- bank is being shortened and part of the route will go to the 103 Amberlea. Because it’s being lengthened, an additional bus will be added to the Amberlea route. Changes in Ajax take effect in June while the Pickering changes take effect in October once the pedestrian bridge over Hwy. 401 from the Pickering GO sta- tion to the Pickering Town Centre is com- plete. The bridge will allow DRT to service a Pickering Parkway terminal instead of having to pull into the GO station. “Customers won’t have to endure sitting in a bus in the traffic going over the 401 on Liverpool and Brock, so it’s going the reduce some of the traffic wait and make the buses more efficient,” said Mr. Ward, adding that DRT and GO are still negoti- ating exactly where the new pickups will be. As well, DRT has committed to running a bus from the Whitby GO station along Victoria Street then Bayly Street out to the Rouge Hill GO station once the Region widens Bayly Street in the Lynde Creek Marsh area between Ajax and Whitby to two lanes, likely in 2012. Mr. Ward said DRT identified the need to improve service in Ajax and Pickering years ago. “In 2008 we identified the routes were becoming inefficient due to traffic and ongoing delays and drivers just didn’t have enough time to go around the loops,” he said, adding that this often left buses running late. In 2009 DRT told the Region’s tran- sit executive committee that Ajax and Pickering routes were in big trouble but Regional councillors left the situation as it was. “There was no money in the budget and there were no service improvements going on,” said Mr. Ward. Then in 2010, DRT was forced to make emergency changes in Ajax due to the Fairall Street construction near the Ajax GO station. At the time, DRT was able to make the routes in Ajax more efficient and Mr. Ward said the feedback from residents, espe- cially in the northwest and northeast part of the town, has been good. Pickering’s routes have remained the same since the transit service was amalgamated and des- perately needed fine tuning, Mr. Ward said. Pickering residents are invited to an information session at the Pickering Town Centre on May 5 between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. They can take a look at the proposed changes and get their questions answered by DRT. All upcoming changes will be commu- nicated to riders through flyers and bulle- tins on buses as well as advertising in the News Advertiser, said Mr. Ward.

Durham officers arrested the teens after a resident reported suspicious activity on Ashfield Crescent just before midnight. The suspects were found in pos- session of more than 50 items allegedly taken from unlocked vehicles throughout Pickering, police said. Two Pickering males, both 16, are charged with theft and possession of stolen property. One of the boys was also charged with being in possession of a prohibited weapon, a butterfly knife. Police are appealing to victims in attempts to deter- mine the extent of the thefts, and to return property to rightful owners.

Non-sterile equipment may have been used in piercings done at Sins and Temptations on King Street West from June of 2010 until the present, the health department said in a news release issued Thursday. Use of non-sterile equipment could lead to transmission of diseases such as hepatitis and HIV, the department said. The health department has no evidence of trans- mission of infectious diseases but recommends any- one who had body piercing done at Sins and Temp- tations during the specified time period should take precautions until evidence of transmission of infec- tious diseases can be ruled out. Affected individuals are encouraged to avoid shar- ing clippers, razors, toothbrushes and other person- al items, and to use a condom during sexual activ- ity. Hairdressing and tattooing are also done at the stu- dio, but only those who received body piercing need to be concerned, the department said. Clients who received body piercing services at this facility during the specified time period are asked to call Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666- 6241 or 1-800-841-2729, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to obtain an information package.

Police allege a city employee went to a massage parlour in the Guildwood area at about 1 p.m. on March 28. While receiving a massage, he alleg- edly produced a document the victim believed was his employee identification and then sexually assaulted her, police said. “The owner of the massage parlour contacted the City of Toronto and they in turn contacted us,” Toronto Police Con- stable Tony Vella said. Police are working closely with City officials on the case, Vella added. “The employee no longer works for the City and we’re cooperating with the police investigation,” City spokesman Rob Andrusevich said. Mr. Andrusevich added that the employee’s terminated status is “of a permanent nature.” Edward Hayes, 48, of Ajax, is charged with two counts of sexual assault, two counts of breach of trust by a public offi- cer and municipal corruption. The charge of municipal corruption falls under Section 123 of the Crimi- nal Code, which prohibits municipal employees from using their position to give or accept rewards or benefits. Mr. Hayes is scheduled to appear in court on May 13. Police believe there may be more vic- tims. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-4300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477). -- Amy Dempsey is a reporter for the Toronto Star POLICE Ajax man charged in massage parlour sex assault while on duty as Toronto bylaw officer DEVELOPMENT Seaton won’t be environmentally sustainable under current plan To the editor: Re: The presently planned development of Seaton. The aquifers that flow under the land in Seaton from the Oak Ridges Moraine are approximately twice the size of Lake Ontar- io. Many scientific reports conclude high density development in Seaton will pollute the fresh water aquifer that feed the creeks and streams and which provide drinking water to approximately two million citi- zens. Some progressive municipalities are already planning to keep their aquifers healthy as down the road they will be able to use the aquifer water if Lake Ontario water becomes too polluted to drink in 50 to 100 years. Could we develop in Seaton without damaging the aquifers? Yes, if proper storm receptors, holding tanks and other modern technology is used that was provided to the City of Pickering Seaton Sustainability chairman Councillor Doug Dickerson. The impact of salt on the aquifers could be reduced dramatically if one was to be creative. What I see in Pickering’s official plan amendment is nothing more than another urban development that will not make the Seaton community environmentally sus- tainable. David Steele Pickering ENVIRONMENT Cap, don’t trade, carbon emissions To the editor: Far too much oxygen was been wasted regarding a ‘cap and trade’ system to deal with carbon emissions in Canada. To cut emissions, a better idea is a ‘cap’ system that is strictly enforced with large monetary penalties including punitive damages. Give organizations time to adjust to the new system and compliance will grow -- they have no choice. We don’t need another ‘stock market’, especially one run by the government. The European system (Emission Trading Scheme) was/is highly ineffective and rife with fraud and abuse. It has led to windfall profits for a few, volatile prices and crime. How can we follow that example? As well, European emissions were reduced by an insignificant amount at a cost of billions of euros. ‘Business-as-usu- al’ is a better option than ‘cap and trade’. Mark Paton Oshawa PESTICIDES Government intrudes in our lives once again To the editor: The government has banned pesticides on our lawns. I can’t put any on my front lawn because it might cause someone to get cancer. The only person on my lawn is me, once a week, when I cut the grass. But, pesticides are allowed on golf cours- es and sports fields. Don’t kids run around playing soccer for an hour, trip, fall, roll on the grass on these fields which have pesti- cides on them? Pesticides have been used for eons with no problems. I believe it is just the govern- ment once again telling us how to live our lives by fear mongering. Lenore Parkin Oshawa TRIBUTE Gratitude for the outpouring of love To the editor: I would like to thank Mike Ruta for the terrific article on Monica Cotton’s legacy and life, Friday, April 15.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 29, 20116 AP Each and every vote matters in Durham Region Durham Region voters have an opportu- nity Monday to determine who will form Canada’s next national government. Candidates in ridings across the region, of all political stripes, have knocked on doors, debated issues at locally organized forums and communicated via campaign literature and social media. These men and women represent a diversity of opinion, of policy preferences, and of approaches to gover- nance. Now, Durham Region voters have an obli- gation to distill the messages they’ve been hearing, determine for themselves who best represents their interests and get out and cast a vote on Monday, May 2. Who you choose to vote for is a matter of personal preference, certainly, but the act of voting is part of our collective civic responsibility. And given the impressive results of advance polls in Durham last weekend, it would appear that more and more resi- dents are paying attention and exercising their franchise. Preliminary results from Elections Canada this week showed a 34.5 per cent increase in voter turnout at Dur- ham’s advance polls, with a whopping 67 per cent increase in participation in Ajax and Pickering. Across the nation, some two million advance votes were cast, a particu- larly notable improvement considering that in the 2008 federal election, the lowest per- centage of voters in Canadian history cast a ballot nationally. Last weekend’s impressive advance poll numbers represent important democratic momentum that Durham Region voters can build on come Monday. In the simplest terms, each and every vote matters. Every single ballot represents, per- haps, the most important individual free- dom Canadians enjoy: the right to choose who leads and represents us at home and abroad. And the encouraging level of engagement among Durham Region youth during this campaign should also translate into ballots being cast. A new national government is going to be elected Monday in any case. Don’t underes- timate the power you have -- the power of one democratic choice -- to help shape the outcome. It’s not necessarily about winners and losers; the government we elect is the government for all Canadians. Polls open Monday at 9:30 a.m. Make sure you make the time to cast your ballot, live up to this important civic obligation, and choose with both your heart and with your head. You’ll see the results of your effort by the end of the day. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 29, 20117 AP MOTHER’S DAY BRUNCH Annual 2700 Audley Rd. N. just north of Taunton Rd.

The designation comes through the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project and the company earned the honour through various initiatives, including the Veridi- an Clean Summer Air Challenge, which encouraged people to walk, run, cycle, carpool or take public transit to work. The company also provides interest- free loans towards the purchase of ener- gy-efficient appliances and hybrid vehi- cles and provides employees who do vol- unteer work access to company funds and resources. As well, Veridian supports education initiatives, including an energy conser- vation program for Grade 5 students and provides research support for elec- trical vehicle development at UOIT. The company added a green, LEED-certified addition to its Ajax headquarters recent- ly. “Veridian is proud of its long track record of caring for the environment, and the awards and recognition received for its ongoing commitment to envi- ronmental sustainability,” said Michael Angemeer, president and CEO of Verid- ian. “The LEED-eligible expansion of our head office in Ajax, a growing fleet of hybrid and electric vehicles, and award- winning energy conservation and envi- ronmental programs for employees and customers are just a few examples of our environmental leadership.” ENVIRONMENT Veridian Corporation among Canada’s greenest employers PICKERING -- A Pickering tennis club plans to teach kids and teens the fundamentals of the game for free this month.

To savetimeTosavetime andmoneyandmoney More than 1,400 bus passes issued through program in 2010 REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A program that allowed Dur- ham kids to turn their library cards into bus passes will be back this summer. Last year, Durham libraries partnered with Durham Region Transit (DRT) on the Ride to Read program, where children in Grade 8 and younger signed up for summer reading programs and got a sticker on their library cards giving them free access to DRT buses in July and August. Donna Bright, head librarian in Ajax, reports 1,449 passes were issued through the program in the two months with the biggest uptake in Oshawa where 476 passes were issued. The program was more successful in south Durham, where there is more transit service, than in the north. “Nonetheless all eight libraries are back on board again and we’re really pleased,” said Ms. Bright, announcing that the program will be available again this summer. Ms. Bright believes the program gave more people access to the library. “We had some families who came right away who were large families who wouldn’t be able to use transit together ... we were surprised to see families with five or six children coming in,” she said. Ms. Bright pointed out that families could use the passes not only to get to the library but to recreation facilities and anywhere else they needed to go in Durham. The libraries are hoping for even more par- ticipation this year and plan to promote it in elementary schools before students are dis- missed for the summer. “Last year we didn’t get as early a start promoting through the schools as we’d like to have gotten ... so we’d like to see a greater uptake on people using transit and people joining summer reading programs,” said Ms. Bright. www.greatblueheroncasino.com Port Perry, ON Mustbe19yearsofageoroldertoparticipate.Validgovernment-issuedphotoidentificationmayberequired.Nopurchasenecessary.Mustbeaneworexisting Rapid Rewards Players Club (RRPC) member.

Students with learning disabilities benefit from special software MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Ryan Pittman’s classroom doesn’t look any different than most, except his students aren’t using paper and pencils. The students in his class use laptops for all of their school work. They are part of a pilot project the Dur- ham District School Board started last school year, having students with learning disabilities use com- puters to do their work throughout the day. Right now, there are five schools participating in what the board calls assistive technology classes. “It evens the playing field for them,” said Greg Island, principal of Blair Ridge Public School in Brooklin, which has had a class for two years. The students chosen for the class are kids who are high functioning, but need to have one area of their learning tweaked, he said. “These are students that have a very specific learn- ing style,” he said. Besides Blair Ridge there are also classes in ses- sion at Alexander Graham Bell Public School in Ajax, Vaughn Willard in Pickering and Dr. C.F. Cannon Public School and Queen Elizabeth Public School in Oshawa. Since the students have been using the laptops there has been a noticeable boost in their self-confi- dence, he said. “We’re seeing kids feel better about what happens in class.” Mr. Pittman’s students range from grades 5 to 8. In the morning they have language and math lessons with Mr. Pittman, in the afternoon they study differ- ent subjects with other teachers in the school, taking their computers with them. “The nice thing is they become technology leaders,” he said. The kids use programs that translate speech into text and another that reads scanned pages out to stu- dents. One particular Friday afternoon, students are work- ing independently. Some are wearing earphones and staring intently at their screens while the computer reads the page to them. Some are working on a pro- gram called Smart Ideas, making a diagram compar- ing fiction to non-fiction. Many wear headsets. They are used so the students can hear the text being read to them and so they can speak into the microphone and have their words translated into a document. “The kids become independent learners,” he said. Mr. Pittman said he tells his class their laptops are tools the way his eyeglasses are. “If I didn’t have my glasses, I wouldn’t do my job as well,” he tells them. It’s the same way for their computers. They aren’t there to do the job for them, just make things more understandable so the students can do their work, he says. Because there are only a few classes in the school board, students such 12-year-old Erik Ramsey are bused from outside Blair Ridge’s regular boundaries to attend the class. “It’s hard to leave your old friends,” he said, adding that it will be hard to leave his new friends when he EDUCATION Durham classes use technology to help with learning returns to his home school. The idea is that when Erik goes back, he’ll take his laptop with him and apply what he’s learned with Mr. Pittman to his Grade 7 work next year. He likes the laptop because he can do his work without worrying his teachers won’t understand it. His writing can be messy because of his learning disability, he said. “I can read books that I didn’t think I would read,” he said. “It’s pretty awesome.” SUSAN BROWN PHOTO BROOKLIN-- Educational assistant Brad Lee helped Grade 6 student Erik Ramsey with a new computer system, designed for those with various learning disabilities. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 29, 201112 AP mattamyhomes.com All illustrations are artist’s concept.

Spring is ﬁ nally here! Now is the perfect time to rejuvenate your lawn, spruce up your garden with nutrient-rich soil, and make your dreams of expanding your living space into the outdoors a reality. Arnts Topsoil, The Landscape Supplier has been the source for landscaping supplies in the Durham Region and GTA for over 40 years. Using a high quality Topdressing soil is the key to a green, healthy lawn you can enjoy through the summer and fall. Topdressing and seeding your lawn will keep your turf thick which helps it resist insects and weeds. Arnts Topsoil's Topdressing is a ﬁ ne blend of Sandy Loam, Peat loam for moisture reten- tion, Composted Manure for nutrient value, and Composted Pine Mulch Fines to lower the pH to an optimum growing range. Begin by raking the lawn to remove thatch. Spread a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of Arnts' premium Topdress- ing soil on your existing lawn. Spread grass seed (several choices are available depend- ing on the application site), rake lightly, and follow with a deep and infrequent watering schedule. Early morning is the best time to water the lawn. Adding fresh Triple Mix soil to your gar- dens each spring gives your plants a good boost to start the growing season. But not all Triple Mixes are created equal. Arnts Topsoil understands the importance of having a good soil foundation for a garden. Arnts' Triple Mix Supreme Planting Soil is composed of just the right blend of quality ingredients to form the basis for a ﬂ ourishing garden.

Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor mruta@durhamregion.com durhamregion.comMonth in the Arts MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Think of a jazz fan and the image of a 50- or 60-some- thing adult comes to mind. But students from across Durham go against the grain, not just loving the music but playing it and show- ing a high level of musicianship. “It’s different from other kinds of music,” says Vincent Jef- fery-Pacheco. “It’s smooth and clear and has a nice feel to it.” The Grade 8 student at Sir Wil- liam Stephenson Public School in Whitby plays bass in the Durham Elementary Jazz Band. The band was awarded gold standing at the Southern Ontar- io Jazz Festival earlier this year and received an invitation to the MusicFest Canada nationals in Vancouver later this month. A May 4 fundraiser at Class Act Dinner Theatre in Whitby, virtually sold out, is to help pay for the trip. Band co-director Nicole Henning says it was “kind of a shock” for the band to get the invitation, unusual for an elementary band. But she and co-director Andrew Cohen, both instrumental music teach- ers, are no longer surprised at the band’s level of play. Henning says the students’ commitment is what amazes her most. “We give them a piece of music and they come back the next day and know it,” she says. “They all want to be in the band for a variety of reasons. It challenges them.” Henning says the band start- ed two years ago and there are 13 members, with all but two in Grade 8, who practise together two hours per week. The DEJB tackles jazz standards, Latin jazz, ballads and all kinds of traditional jazz. Audi- tions are typically held at the end of September and the band’s home base is West Lynde Public School in Whitby. Vincent started playing bass around three years ago, reasoning that “everyone plays guitar” and many bands search for a bassist. When he heard about the DEJB, it sparked his interest in jazz and he auditioned. Vincent says his play- ing has improved a lot since the beginning of the year. Practising at home and with the band has helped his skill level take a big jump in the right direction. “The way that we work on things and the way that we practise things really helps a lot,” he says. Naved Quame, who attends Romeo Dallaire Public School in Ajax, was chosen by a teacher to attend a summer camp after he showed potential. “My interest in music grew and I just fell in love with it,” he says. “I just like the feel of (jazz) and how all the instruments blend in.” Naved likes big band jazz, espe- cially Count Basie. Learning the trumpet wasn’t as hard as he thought it would be and Naved is now branching out: he’s started learning piano and guitar and is interested in taking up the bass. He hopes to attend Pickering High School next year and to con- tinue improving. As the band gets tighter each year, so do the bonds between the indi- vidual members. “It’s amazing how you can meet so many new people and find peo- ple you share interests with,” Vin- cent says.

Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 29, 201124 AP FOOTBALL Foster running with the Lions Ajax resident looking to make big plays for CFL team NATHANIEL SMITH nsmith@durhamregion.com AJAX -- As he runs down the field draped in coverage, many doubt he’ll come up with the football. But with his 6-foot-5 frame, brava- do, and unwavering resolve, Ajax resident Akeem Foster locates the football and catches it for a touch- down. The jubilation from touchdowns fuels Foster and it’s something he looks to continue while playing in the Canadian Football League. Dominating on the football field came easy for Foster throughout high school, OVFL and the CIS, but when he stepped onto the British Columbia Lions practice facility, it was a feeling like no other. “You go from playing with boys to playing with men,” he said. “As a boy coming into the league you’ve got to mature, get bigger and stron- ger.” After struggling to get acclimat- ed to the speed of the professional game, Foster wasn’t able to make the immediate impact he had hoped for, but with a year under his belt, and a rigorous off-season workout plan, he hopes things will change. “You got to step up training every day and make yourself better day and night,” said Foster. “You got to go to bed wanting to get better and that’s what I’ve been focusing on. I went up to Saint FX to train and finish up school, and hopefully my training there with my family and friends will work out this year.” Foster dominated CIS football for the St.Francis Xavier X-men, and in his senior season he placed himself among the best players in Cana- da after registering 37 catches, 595 yards and four touchdowns. Now Foster is waiting for his chance to make a difference at the next level. “I’m a very confident guy, I want to make the play and want the ball in my hands,” he said. “I want a chance to help out my team and organization. Hopefully the BC Lions give me the opportunity to go out there and put on an orange hel- met and black pants, so I can be all I can be out there.” Through it all Foster is excited about competing with pros on a consistent basis. “In the CIS you’re competing with a bunch of guys on one com- mon goal to be the best nation- ally,” he said. “Making that jump to the CFL was a really fun experi- ence because you get the opportu- nity to compete with guys that have been there before, and get yourself prepared to compete on a national level.” Every time Foster puts on his football equipment he thinks about how far he has come from catching touchdown passes for Notre Dame Catholic high school in Ajax, and for the Oshawa Hawkeyes in the OVFL, to playing on the highest football stage in Canada. “You dream about that stuff, that’s why you work, and that’s why you go out there and play the game so one day I’ll be on TV catching the football and my friends and family can say ‘Hey, I know that guy,’” said Foster. “It’s definitely a dream come true and I’m just trying to make this dream happen, so I’m going to go out there and do my best for every- body, not just myself.” When Foster steps onto the field he wants players, coaches, trainers, and fans to know one thing about him. “I’m a man with a lot of heart and I go into every battle expecting to win, and at the end of the day if you’re not on my team you’re not going to win.” ONTARIO JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE Panthers looking for gems at rookie camp BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Rob Toffoli knows that as a bottom feeder for the past four seasons, the Pickering Panthers can only go one way. “There’s only one way to go and that’s up,” said the GM as the Ontario Junior Hockey League team prepares for its rookie camp Monday to Wednesday at the Pickering Recreation Complex. As many as 68 skaters and 12 goalies are expected to report for the sessions, which will include a pair of games each night between four teams from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Coming off a season in which the Panthers won just 14 times in 50 games, finishing last for the fourth year in a row, the camp will go a long way in identifying pros- pects for next season’s roster. At this point, Toffoli isn’t restricted to a cap of how many players will be invited back to a main camp. “A lot of them have a shot because we finished in last place, so I’ve got to do what we’ve got to do to improve the team,” he said. “I’m going to acquire some other players from other junior teams. Some of that is in the works now, but there are spots open. “I want to look for kids who are going to compete. I don’t care if they’re 95s or 92s (birth years). I want kids who can compete and play at this level. That’s what we have to get.” Toffoli added that last year’s youngest players, Brett Gustavsen and Andrew Goldberg, both 94s, played a lot. In fact, Gustavsen joined the Ottawa 67’s of the OHL when the season ended for the Panthers. As for attracting young players, or veterans for that matter, it’s an uphill battle for the Panthers and one of the challenges that Toffoli admits is difficult to overcome. “That’s one of the harder jobs,” he says. “We’re a very positive team. The coaching staff is posi- tive, (owner) Rob Stein is posi- tive, I’m a positive guy. We want to get better communications with schools so we can promote the kids more. If they come to our team, they are going to get a shot to play.” Off the ice, Stein has bought out former owner John Porco, and on the bench, the Panthers will have an entirely new staff. Toffoli and Stein have brought in head coach Mike Galati to give the team a fresh start. He will be surround- ing himself with his own assis- tants, as none of last year’s bench staff will be returning. “I wish all the guys luck. Believe me,” said Toffoli of last year’s coaches John Goodwin, Patrick Papageorge and Derek Lynden. “But we were a last place team so we had to do something.” As for returning players, Toffoli says the new bench boss is meet- ing with the group on an ongoing basis, and thus far, nobody has asked to be traded.

VOLLEYBALL Eclipse 15U displays dominance at provincials Qualify for Western National Championships in Calgary WATERLOO -- The Eclipse 15U girls’ volleyball team played as a cohesive unit and captured the provin- cial championship after defeating the talented Scarborough Titans Syn- ergy 15-4 in the tie break- ing game at the Ontario Provincial Championship held at Rim Park in Water- loo. Both teams battled for championship supremacy, and split a game each (25- 23, 18-25), but the Eclipse prevailed after realizing how close they were to attaining championship status. Before getting the opportunity to step onto the championship stage, the Eclipse had to defeat a slew of quality opposition in day one and two of the tournament. After domi- nating teams from Strat- ford, Halton and Ottawa, the Eclipse earned a first place position in their pool. In day two Eclipse main- tained their aggressive- ness and focus and over- whelmed Forest City from London, DRVC from Whitby, and Storm Ice from Aurora en route to another first place finish in their pool. In the final day of the tournament the Eclipse focused on the words ‘win or go home’ and imple- mented it towards their game. With the fear of going home prematurely imbed- ded in their minds, the girls outplayed the Etobi- coke Titans in the quarter- finals and Toronto West in the semifinals. With the impressive vic- tories the Eclipse marched all the way to champion- ship glory, proving they deserved to be the num- ber one ranked team going into the Ontario Provincial Championships. In May team Eclipse will look to capture a gold medal in the Western National Championships held in Calgary. Team members include Cassis Varlow, Chanel Raymundo, Courtney Chi- asson, Emily Ryan, Jazmin Shannon, Karlina Domin- go, Katerina Yannakid- is, KC Tohm, Kiana De La Cruz, Nareesa Nathoo, Sabrina Robertson, Sheri- dan Mason and Sydney Shurmann. The team is coached by assistant Vicki Gallagh- er and head coach Arif Nathoo.
