Some of the more adventurous, and eager, students raise their hand, volunteering to be a helper in the first Cooking for Teens class of the fall recreation session on Sept. 20. After a few hands go up, the rest of the class gets brav- er. Some even try to volunteer each other, but instructor Anna Kuzniak is having none of that. “You pointed at someone else so you can have this one,” she says with a smile, handing a plastic apron to Taylor DeNobrega, 13. Taylor was volunteered for the class by her mother, Chris. “She made macaroni and cheese once and it was horrible,” Ms. DeNobrega said, as Taylor’s younger sister nods enthusiastically at her mother’s assessment.

I really hope that the class teaches her independence and gives her some life-long skills that her mother certainly doesn’t have. I wish they’d had this when I was growing up.” For her part, Taylor said she is “excited-ish” about learning to cook. “I definitely want to be able to cook bet- ter than I do now, because I’m horrible,” she explained. “I kind of like cooking, but I’m not good at it so it’s not as enjoyable as it could be.” The class of 10 varied from novice chefs such as Taylor to aspiring gourmets like Thomas Dykstra, 14. “Quite frankly, I love to cook,” he said, listing basics such as pizza and pasta as his most common dishes. Both students have come to the right place. The eight-week Cooking for Teens program aims to impart knowledge of kitchen safety and nutrition while also teaching teens easy, basic dishes that range from a tomato, basil and cheese pasta bake to grilled steaks with chipotle rub and lime butter to Thai seafood salad wraps. “I tried to incorporate nutrition as well as considering simple things kids could do on their own,” Ms. Kuzniak explained. Ms. Kuzniak, who is also a visual artist, has been teaching adult cooking classes for the City of Pickering for several years, but this is the first time she is teaching teens. “There’s more to it than just pasta,” she explained of her plans for the class. “We’re going to incorporate nutritional dish- es and other dishes like after-school snacks to help kids make the transition from junk food to good food. I’m mostly basing all my ideas on what I think kids this age will like.” The class, which is open to youth aged 12 through 17, is part of recreation programming offered by the City of Pickering. The class has been running for two years and has proved to be a big hit. “It’s been a great success, we’re at full capac- ity,” said Heather Butler, recreation program- mer for Pickering, noting the program was born out of a one-off Dining Divas event. “The purpose was to teach young ladies how to cook a meal, and they did a pretty good job, but we realized that night that this was definitely an element that was missing,” Ms. Butler said of cooking instruction. “Here teens can learn to cook, be safe in the kitchen and make nutritious meals. They’re responsible for everything from cooking to doing dishes and putting them away, so they learn everything from start to finish. You never know what youth are going to be inter- ested in, but if you can get them interested in cooking, and comfortable in the kitchen, that’s a good thing.” Back in the kitchen, the youths were busy chopping basil and onion, grating cheese and putting together a salad as they waited for water to boil for pasta. The students were eager to help, but most had the same reaction when measuring out a basil/pesto combina- tion. “Ew, it’s green,” observed one young lady with disgust. Things went downhill from there when the mixture was added to a bowl of ricotta. “That looks like barf,” said Peter Duacliffe, 12, as a chorus of retching noises echoed from his fellow students. “I bet it tastes good though. I’m excited to eat this, all this food is making me hungry.” Before the pasta was done, Ms. Kuzniak made sure to impart some basic kitchen wisdom to her students while guiding them through preparations, such as putting a dish towel under cutting boards to prevent slip- page, not throwing spaghetti against the wall, and ripping lettuce rather than cutting it since metal knives can discolour greens. As the class progressed students became visibly more comfortable in the kitchen, eagerly volunteering for tasks and sometimes even taking charge, such as when Thomas realized the sauce had been left unattended and took over stirring duties. After a lesson in how to zest a lemon, in this case for salad dressing, dinner was ready. The 10 youths were eagerly waiting with forks and plates, more than ready to reap the rewards for their hard work in the form of a delicious meal of pasta bake and parmesan salad. Bon appetit.

Just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 4 an 18-year-old man was walking with a friend in the area of Liverpool Road and Broadview Street when he stepped off the curb to hail a cab and was hit by a northbound vehicle. The suspect vehicle did not remain at the scene and was last seen travelling northbound on Liverpool Road. The victim sustained life-threatening inju- ries and remains in critical condition at a Toronto-area trauma centre. Members of the Traffic Services Branch of the Durham Regional Police closed off the road for several hours to investigate and gath- er evidence. Officers are canvassing neigh- bourhoods and businesses in an attempt to gather more information regarding the sus- pect driver and vehicle. The victim was the fourth pedestrian struck in the last five days on Durham Region roads and police are reminding all pedestrians to cross safely at designated crosswalks. Drivers are also reminded that weather and lighting conditions are rapidly declining during the change of season, which can affect visibility and road conditions.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA Advance poll numbers rise across province; Durham follows the trend DURHAM -- If advance poll numbers are any indication, there should be a good turnout at the polls today. The numbers are up across the province and in local ridings like Whitby-Oshawa, where returning officer Robin Hepburn says the 5,801 advance poll ballots is an increase of about 1,500 over the last provin- cial election in 2007. “I see it as a very good sign,” she said. Over in Durham Riding -- which includes Clarington, Scugog and Uxbridge -- offi- cials counted 6,305 advance ballots com- pared to just over 4,000 in 2007. “I would think that’s a positive sign of what we’re going to see,” noted returning officer Ralph Werry. Elsewhere in Durham, the riding of Ajax- Pickering saw 5,607 advance ballots cast while Oshawa counted 5,930 and Picker- ing-Scarborough East saw 5,009. Advance polls were open from Sept. 21 to 30 at various locations in each riding. Voters were also able to cast special bal- lots at their local returning office or by mail or home visit. According to Elections Ontario, a total of 624,958 people took advantage of advance voting this year, which us up from 451,949 last time around. Today, more than 24,000 polls are open at more than 7,700 voting locations across Ontario from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Voters who still have questions about where, when and how to vote: visit wemakevotingeasy.ca SUPPORTINGLOCAL GROWERS! 1900 Dixie Rd.(at Finch) in Pickeringwww.burbsbistro.com 905-839-2506 election 2011 Advance poll numbers up across Durham Please recycle Editorial Opinions A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

After all, in his work life Ajacian Joey McColm is concerned with going as fast as possible when he motors around a track. But McColm had an eco-realization moment at the end of last year when, dur- ing a race rain delay, he saw garbage cans full of plastic bottles and plates that were destined for landfill. He called Earth Day Canada offering to lend some help and that desire to make a positive contribution brought him to Dunbarton High School in April and to the Pickering Town Centre Farmer’s Market on Sept. 27. McColm partners with Durham Sustain Ability on the EcoDriver program, which promotes the practices of fuel-efficient driving, buying fuel-efficient cars, driv- ing less, following routine maintenance to ensure cars are running efficiently, slowing down, taking public transit and walking or biking when possible. The message is that little things make a difference. And when tens, hundreds and even thousands of people think the same way, there can be a great and positive ben- efit to the environment. It’s the same with water or energy con- servation. Installing a low-flow toilet and compact fluorescent light bulbs in your home can ease the cost of water and hydro. And while this might impact just your own bottom line, when many others do like- wise the effects are greater and the benefits more substantial. Looking at the EcoDriver practices, one immediately sees that the benefits go beyond the environment and are in your best financial interests. Driving 100 km/h on the highway instead of 120 km/h means burning 20 per cent less fuel, a definite sav- ing for a driver, especially one who has a long commute each day. Keeping your car or truck well-maintained has many posi- tives. It will make your vehicle last lon- ger, will make it less likely that you’ll face an unexpected and costly repair bill and, when it’s time to sell, the record of your dil- igent maintenance will make your vehicle more attractive to a buyer. Let’s face it, next to your home, your car is perhaps the biggest drain on your financ- es, what with gas, maintenance, insurance and registration. True, much of the time we absolutely need them. But for those other times when, for example, we’re going to buy lottery tickets at the corner store, why not walk or take the bike? In addition to saving money on fuel and helping the environment, you’ll help yourself by get- ting some exercise. Recently I’ve taken up farming and run- ning a bakery and sure it’s fun, but it’s seri- ously cut into my time battling deadly mon- sters in dungeons. Of course, the only crops and baked goods I have to show for it are on my iPhone, but on the bright side I only have to wait a few hours between planting and harvesting a dozen tomato plants. Yes, I’m a gamer, and so are millions of you according to the numbers. Whether you like to frag your enemies on Call of Duty, rock a stadium in Guitar Hero, get into a Mafia War on Facebook or just play the odd game of Scrabble online, you’re a gamer too. And chances are you’re not playing alone. In fact, most of us who play games online are engaged in what’s called social gaming and we’re doing it on our laptops, on our smart phones and on our game consoles. Video gaming is a $65-billion industry each year and with the growing popularity of social gaming via Facebook and on smart phones, people who would never look twice at an Xbox are now gamers. So what’s the appeal? In her book, Reality is Broken, author and University of California Berkeley researcher Jane McGonigal says gaming delivers four ingredients that make us happy: satisfying work; real hope for success; strong social connections; and the chance to become a part of something bigger than ourselves. She says that real life may deliver some of those components some of the time, but not all of them all of the time. In fact, she argues that gaming in modera- tion, less than 21 hours a week, is actually good for us, and depending on the type of game, can make us more creative or more social. If I have a tough day, harvesting that bum- per crop on my virtual farm or slaying a tough boss in World of Warcraft can give me the sense of accomplishment I may not have had that day. This explains why people are willing to spend real dollars on their online lives. This includes subscription fees for games like Warcraft or Xbox live and spending real dol- lars to get virtual currency for games like Farmville. Ms. McGonigal’s research also shows that we don’t need violence in games to reap the positive benefits. And that playing with your real-life friends and family has more bene- fits than playing with strangers, though the latter is fine too. Now, she does caution that gaming too much not only removes the positive impacts but can have negative consequences like damaging our social lives and work and school performance. But like anything else, it seems modera- tion is the key. The truly incredible thing is that gaming has the potential to make the world a better place. This year, thousands of gamers playing Foldit, a 3D game where they can fold pro- teins in creative ways, were able to deci- pher the structure of an enzyme linked to an AIDS-like virus in just 10 days, some- thing scientists had been working on for a decade. And while most us aren’t making medical discoveries while we play, at least we can relax and enjoy what we’re doing knowing that it’s probably going to put us in a better mood. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

Implants Success A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone. Following a period of healing it will act much like the root of a tooth over which a crown will be placed. Implants can support a single crown, a long span bridge, a loose denture or rehabilitate an entire dentition. Chief considerations for the successful placement of dental implants are the amount and quality of jaw bone.With modern advances, most people are candidates for dental implants regardless of age or health. Dental implants are considered long term restorations and provide excellent results that are comfortable, natural looking and high functioning. Dental implantology is dentistry’s most rapidly growing field.

College support staff across the province went on strike on Sept. 1 after negotiations failed between the Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union and management. After reaching a tentative agreement, employees went back to work on Sept. 20. In a province-wide vote, 87 per cent of support staff ratified the tentative agree- ment. “The ratification is great news, because it shows that employees clearly support the agreement,” said Gerry Barker, chair- man of the colleges’ bargaining team in a press release. The exact numbers are currently unoffi- cial, but the Ontario Ministry of Labour will confirm the vote at a later date. The terms of the agreement will also be made public at that time.

Take a walk with someone you love to share nature with -- child, partner, parent, pet, friend, yourself -- to a hilltop, an open field or the edge of a pond or lake in time to watch the sun set. Then turn around 180 degrees and wait for that silver orb, the moon, to rise over the eastern horizon and fill the night with its glowing light. Having daylight and darkness just about equal length at this time of year makes this double delight of sunset and moonrise possible, if skies are cloudless. And the often cool, crisp air of autumn makes for great clarity in the night sky. Beautiful as it is, that moon of ours is going to wash out most of the best meteor viewing as the year winds to a close: the Dra- conids on Oct. 7 and 8, the Ori- onids Oct. 20 and 21, the Tau- rids Nov. 5 and 11; the Leonids Nov. 17 and the Geminids Dec. 13 and 14. Timing is everything, and unfortunately, all annual showers of shooting stars this autumn will be dimmed by the bright presence of a waxing or waning moon. Which doesn’t mean anyone out stargazing at the dark of the moon won’t see stray falling stars streaking across the blackness of space. Given shortening days and lengthening nights, we’ll have lots of time to watch for them. You win some and you lose some. Making up for missing meteors are the opportunities to watch the great winter con- stellations come to prominence: Cassiopeia the Queen, the wide “W” high in the northeast, stretched out against the Milky Way. Ursa Major, the Great Bear, to the north, of which the Big Dipper forms a large part. And marching across the southern sky, Orion the Hunter, followed by his two faithful dogs. Hang- ing from his star-studded belt is his sword, one star of which is in fact a huge nebula of glowing gas and dust lit up by the mil- lions of hot young stars being born there. Our solar system’s largest plan- et, Jupiter, has been rising ear- lier each night since August. By late October it will rise around dusk and stay in view all night, unmistakable as the brightest object in the sky except for the moon. Study it through binocu- lars to check the varying posi- tions of its own four biggest moons. The planet Venus disap- pears from the morning sky this month, passing between the Earth and the sun. But this luminous planet will return in December as the evening star, just in time for Christmas. Asteroid 2005YU55, the hunk of rock astronomers were wor- ried might crash into us, will be passing close to Earth on Nov. 8. Apparently we’ll need binocu- lars to witness the fly-by.

Boston Terrier Rescue Canada is hosting the third annual Bos- toberfest in support of the lit- tle pooches and the organiza- tion that saves them on Saturday, Oct. 15 at Super Dog Central in Bowmanville. The event includes a variety of dog games and contests, such as musical mats and a longest-sit- and-stay contest, a raffle table, nail trimming, ear cleaning, food and indoor and outdoor play areas for the pooches. Animal communicator Kim McCormack of Animals In Balance will be on hand to chat with dog owners. BTRC, a registered Canadi- an charity, is staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers dedicated to the safety and welfare of single and mixed-breed Boston terri- ers. The group takes in unwant- ed Bostons from all over Canada and finds them safe, loving, for- ever homes. It also advocates for an end to the operation of puppy mills, pet store animal sales and the neglect and abuse of these precious dogs. BTRC volunteer Carol Magis- ter explains many Boston terriers are products of puppy mills, so the volunteers make numerous trips to save them from areas notorious for the opera- tion, such as Montreal. “It’s a ter- rible place for puppy mills and high-kill shel- ters,” she says. The organization also helps with medical care the rescued pups may require. For example, one of the dogs currently in its care, Cash, had a cyst on his spine and a vet had suggested to his former owner that he be euthanized. Not wishing this fate for his dog, the owner surrendered the little guy to BTRC and the group has since taken him for an MRI and had the cyst removed. It’s all going to cost around $7,500, Ms. Magis- ter says. “ T h i s is what we do, is save little dogs’ lives,” she says. Since there’s no home base for BTRC, the group relies on foster homes to care for the rescued pooches. And they’re great dogs, Ms. Magister says.

AJAX -- Cars for the kids and a trip to India are options being considered by an Ajax couple who won almost $7.3 million in September by playing LOTTO 6/49. Naguleswaran Kandiah and his wife, Rany Naguleswaran, won the Sept. 7 draw and claimed a $7,277,627.50 prize. “It’s just unbelievable. Even after a couple of days, we’re still processing this and are a little bit in shock,” Mr. Kandiah said on the day he picked up the prize, according to an OLG press release. Mr. Kandiah, his wife and two of his children picked up their prize in mid-September at the OLG Toronto Prize Centre. “We were at home togeth- er, when I read the numbers in the paper and realized I had a match for all six. My wife start- ed to cry, and we called our kids right away to share our happi- ness with them,” he said. The family recently moved to Ajax from Scarborough and Mr. Kandiah said they’re happy with their new home and haven’t decided how they’re going to spend the prize money. “My son just got a new ‘used’ car, but I would like to get each of my two daughters a car as we all share one now,” he said. “We just came back from visiting family in Australia, but I’m sure we’ll be planning a trip some- where else now. My wife really wants to visit India to see some temples.” Although two of his children have finished their post-sec- ondary education, now they have the opportunity for further education, perhaps post-gradu- ate degrees. The winning ticket was pur- chased at a Petro Canada on Ninth Line and 16th Avenue in Unionville. According to OLG, since LOTTO 6/49 was launched in June 1982, Ontario players have won more than $9.6 billion in prizes, including 1,217 jackpot wins. As of Sept. 13, 2011, there have been 2,885 LOTTO 6/49 draws.

(John Rennison, Hamilton Spectator)A Miracle? Stroke victim completes Ironman triathlon 8 months later A Hamilton-based missionary has pulled off what might have been thought an impossible feat – ﬁ n- ishing a full Ironman triathlon a mere eight months after suffering a series of strokes. Art Duerksen, 55, told his story to Scott Radley of the Hamilton Spectator. Duerk- sen suffered the stroke just before Christ- mas; he completed the Ironman triathlon – a 3.9-kilometre swim, 180-kilometre bike ride and 42-km. marathon run – in Penticton, B.C. in August. The story started a year ago in August. Duerk- sen was accompanying a friend in British Colum- bia who was attempting three Ironmen events back to back and, despite limited experience in competitive running, cycling or swimming, im- pulsively decided to train for one himself. As soon as he got home, he started training, Duerksen told journalist Radley. His family thought he was certiﬁ able. Yet less than two months later, he ran his ﬁ rst half marathon. Then, sitting at home one night shortly be- fore Christmas, the room began spinning and he started feeling sick. Thinking it was the ﬂ u or maybe vertigo, he ignored it. Until it hap- pened again. And again. The third time was the worst. His speech be- came slurred. His vision blurred. His left side lost strength. His balance abandoned him. Doc- tors eventually decided he had suffered a series of strokes. “I’ve never seen my dad in that state before,” said his oldest son, Arty. “It was pretty upset- ting … it almost looked like he wasn’t there. He seemed almost lifeless.” A main artery at the top of his brain stem had become blocked and then had leaked. He’d suffered some brain damage. While he was in hospital, another small stroke caused him to go blind in his right eye. As for his triathlon dream? When he men- tioned it to his doctor, all he got was a disbe- lieving laugh and a stern instruction to relax and take it easy. Then a funny thing happened. He started feeling better. A month after arriving in hospi- tal he climbed onto the treadmill and walked for ﬁ ve minutes. A few weeks after he was re- leased, he went swimming. By midsummer, he amazingly ﬁ nished a half-ironman he’d secretly signed up to run. Which is how he found himself grinding his way along the Ironman course in Pentic- ton, B.C., in August under an unrelenting sun. Fourteen hours, 33 minutes and a few seconds after taking his ﬁ rst strokes in the water, he crossed the ﬁ nish line. How did he do it? Radley asked him. Was this a miracle? Duerksen answered with a story. Right before the race, he silently asked God to run alongside him. To keep him safe but also to keep him believing he could do it. “I was happy the whole way,” he says, pointing out that nearly every photo of him taken that day shows him with a smile on his face, no matter how difﬁ cult it was. That’s the miracle.” We are now acceptingapplications for our studio suites.

FOOD & DRINK / Habeeb Salloum “Organic vegetables! What do you mean ‘organic’?” I asked my university friend some decades ago when I ﬁ rst heard of organic food. He smiled, “It’s what you grew on your south Saskatchewan farm. It’s naturally grown fruits and vegetables as well as meats from ani- mals raised on natural feed.” I came to learn that organic meats and vegetables were what we as poor farmers consumed. In those days there were no chemical fertilizers and even if there were, we, or any other of the neighbouring farm- ers, would not have the money to afford them. Hence, we grew our vegetables naturally, sharing the produce with the insects, wild animals and other blights that often make farming an unrewarding enterprise. To be organic, food must be produced from its ori- gin to the mouth without the use of any antibiotics and hormones or man-made chemical products such as pesticides, artiﬁ cial fertilizers, fungicides, herbi- cides and any genetically engineered products. A good number of markets today have a section of- fering organic produce and meats. As more and more people become health conscious, customers are stop- ping more frequently in the organic section. Here are the pros and cons as I see them. Positives: • Organic farming is friendlier to the environment with less soil contamination and less pollution. • Organically processed food contains no hydroge- nated fat, which is often linked to heart disease. This is especially true when it comes to processed meat. • The food is in its natural state with no chemical contamination. • Meats, eggs, and dairy products from animals fed organic food are free from antibiotics and hormones. • Purportedly, organic food contains high levels of anti-oxidants and other vitamins as well as minerals. Drawbacks: • Organic foods are more expensive – generally, about 60-per-cent more for fruits and vegetables and 100-per-cent more for meat and dairy products. But shop around for better deals. • Recently, some lab studies have suggested that the health beneﬁ ts and the nutrient levels in organic food are the same as for non-organic foods. • Organic food rots more quickly than non- organic produce since it do not contain artiﬁ cial preservatives. In sum, if you can afford it, buy locally pro- duced organic fresh meats, fruits and vegetables. I do! Overall they are safer than conventional food and, in my view, tastier Habeeb Salloum is a Toronto-based author of ﬁ ve cookbooks including Classic Vegetarian Cooking from the Middle East and North Africa (2000) and Bison Delights (2010). 1 large avocado 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 cup fresh Saskatoon berries 1 large tomato, diced into 1/2 inch cubes 1 large bell sweet pepper, fi nely chopped 3 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted 2 tablespoons fi nely chopped fresh mint 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (Serves 6 to 8) This dish is made from organic ingredients.

Do you have a free weekend? If you answered yes, you're in luck. Even with a limited budget, the following projects will add value and visual appeal to your bathroom. Vanity Sanity Think of how much time you spend at the sink. So why not update this bathroom focal point in just a weekend with a new vanity and fashionable faucet? Many prefinished vani- ties with built-in sinks are available for under $300, and have surface options including cultured marble and granite to match any décor. The next step is selecting a faucet. To start, determine wheth- er your sink or countertop requires a centreset (one-piece) or widespread (handles and spout are separate) faucet. Once you know the type of faucet, manufacturers, such as Moen, offer a wide selection of style and finish options to meet your design preferences. The new Telford two-handle bathroom faucet features a traditional style with lever handles and a high-arc spout and is WaterSense-labeled, reducing water us- age by up to 32 percent. To install your faucet, be sure you have the proper tools, including new supply lines, adjustable wrenches, a basin wrench and screwdriver. Then, just follow the manufacturer's directions to remove the old faucet and install the new. Or for extra help, websites, such as moen.ca, also offer step-by-step videos to walk you through the simple process. Tile Transformation Adding or replacing tile is a great way to continue your bath- room transformation. Once you select your tile, don't let the installation be intimidating as it's a rather simple process. One quick design tip is to lay the tile diagonally to help maximize the feeling of space and make your bathroom ap- pear larger. Using light colours (both in paint and tile selec- tions) throughout the room, and even adding an over-sized mirror, also helps to create the illusion of space. Still prefer extra guidance be- fore tackling this particular project? Be sure to check for weekly workshop classes at your local home improvement retailer. Beauty and the Bath Lack of space is often a key concern in most bathrooms. Luckily, you can create seven additional inches of elbow room in the shower and add visual appeal with a curved shower rod. For approximately $60, it's an affordable, stylish and easy-to-install solution. With these quick, cosmetic upgrades that won't break your budget, you'll be able to update your 'loo' in a day or two.

Contact your representative today 905-683-5110 Board will discuss ad hoc group to deal with aggression, violence in schools DURHAM -- Less than one month after the suicide of a young boy shocked Durham, a trustee has announced plans to create a committee to combat bullying in schools. Scugog Trustee Carolyn Morton said she’d like the Durham District School Board to consider creating an ad hoc committee to fight violence and aggression in schools. Though she noted that results from a recent survey showed 85 per cent of Dur- ham kids feel safe in schools, “that means 15 per cent are feeling unsafe.” In a school of 500 children, that means 75 feel unsafe, Trustee Morton added. She noted that the board needs compre- hensive applications to deal with bullying in many aspects, whether it’s regarding race, disability, gender or sexual orienta- tion. Pickering Trustee Chris Braney said he supports the notion and asked whether outside stakeholders such as police can be a part of the committee, to which Trustee Morton said that’s definitely something to consider. “We’re doing good work in this area but we need to do more,” she said. This came less than one month after 11-year-old Mitchell Wilson of Pickering committed suicide. The boy, who had muscular dystrophy, had been bullied and his family believes it contributed to his death. The issue will be discussed at the next meeting. ORDERTHANKSGIVINGTAKEOUT 1900 Dixie Rd.

At the Limestone Tipoff Tour- nament in Kingston, Notre Dame was dethroned after win- ning the title four times in a row, losing the championship game 45-40 to local school Holy Cross of Kingston. This past weekend, hosting the Notre Dame/Ajax News Adver- tiser Basketball Classic, they had another lengthy streak come to an end, edged in the final 42-36 by St. Christopher of Sarnia. It ended a five-year run by Notre Dame as champions. “It was disappointing to lose because we were the defend- ing champions,” said assistant coach Dawn Gonzalez. “To be able to lose earlier in the season is better. It’s a learning experi- ence for us. It allows us to see the things we need to work on.” Losing early in the year was something Notre Dame avoid- ed a season ago, reeling off 33 wins in a row before losing to Pickering in the LOSSA cham- pionship game, denying them a trip to OFSAA. This year’s tournament start- ed as expected with a 62-42 vic- tory over Uxbridge in the open- er behind 15 points from Lor- raine Enabulele. The semifinal of the eight-team tournament was much closer, but 14 points from Shanica Baker and 13 from Enabulele was just enough in a 38-34 win over Aurora. While the final was close, Notre Dame couldn’t get past St. Chris- topher of Sarnia, losing 42-36 despite Baker and Racquelle Maragh leading the offence with 12 points each. All of Maragh’s points came from beyond the three point arc, which helped keep Notre Dame in the game. “We wouldn’t have got back into the game if Rocky (Rac- quelle) wasn’t shooting those three pointers,” noted Gonzalez. “We were down and she started putting up her threes and we got back in the game but couldn’t pull though in the fourth quar- ter.” Notably absent from the Notre Dame lineup for the tournament were Dakota Whyte, who was on a university visit in the U.S., and Brianna Thomas, who is out with a knee injury. On the upside, it did give some of the younger players a chance to play key minutes, including a trio of Grade 10 students in Kimeshia Henry, Jazlyn Simons and Enabulele. “The three Grade 10s were playing at the end of the game and holding strong for us,” said Gonzalez. “If we can hang in the game with players missing and Grade 10s on the floor, we’re not doing too shabby. “Overall we played well, but we’re still building the confi- dence of those Grade 10s as well, because junior and senior is quite a different league of play.” In the consolation final of the tournament, Holy Name of Windsor beat Austin 62-26. Next up on the tournament schedule for Notre Dame is an elite tournament in Toronto Oct. 15-16.

Among them were five mem- bers of the school’s basketball programs in Oshawa’s Tyson Eteli and Ajax’s Tyler McGarri- ty of the men’s team, along with Erin Emery, Ottette Stephens and Oshawa’s Jessica Newman off the women’s team. Pickering’s Morgan Kelly led a contingent of three on the wom- en’s soccer team, a group that also included Kenesha Stinchcombe- Brown and Ajax’s Shannon Lucas, while two women’s volleyball players, Kourtney Cyr of Uxbridge and Kerri Fotherby of Newcastle, were also honoured. The national scholar award is designed to recognize the out- standing academic accomplish- ments of CCAA student-athletes. To achieve this honour, a student- athlete must achieve honours standing at their institution in the current academic year. Since the inception of this award in 2004, no fewer than 84 Durham College athletes have earned this prestigious award, including a school-best 27 in 2008-09. All told, from last year’s 109 CCAA member-institutions, 752 students were recognized. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 6, 201122 AP TickeTs sTar T aT $30!

The Panthers managed to halt a five-game losing streak at the Evinrude Centre, doubling the Stars 4-2 in Ontario Junior Hockey League action. A first-period goal by Evan Bruno and one in the second from Tan- ner Bull helped the Panthers enter the final 20 minutes all square at two apiece. Third period goals by Cosimo Fontana and Matt Galati proved to be the difference. “We had a week off and I think we needed that,” said head coach Mike Galati of his team who hadn’t played since Sept. 25 heading into Tuesday. “We worked on a lot of things we needed to work on. Our defensive zone was our main con- cern and we addressed that. “I think we practised four or five times and each practice we went 40 minutes on just defensive zone. We still have a lot of work to do, but it looked a lot better (Tuesday) night.” Newcomer Denny Dubblestyne collected the win in goal. The 17 year old was a fifth round selection of the Ottawa 67’s in the 2010 draft out of the Toronto Jr. Canadiens minor midget team. Last season he played in the OJHL with the Vaughan Vipers, sporting a 9-4-0 record in 16 appearances with two shutouts, a 2.86 average and .893 save percentage. “He’s a big kid and he moves well,” said Galati. “He’s a pretty good goalie. I think he’s a goalie that we’ll see here for a few years. He’s very young and is a kid that has another three years in the league.” Dubblestyne faced 27 shots in earning the win, while the Pan- thers fired 36 in the other direc- tion. The Panthers take a 2-7-0 record into Kingston on Sunday in their only game this weekend. “We’ve had a tough schedule. We’ve played a lot of better teams in the East,” said Galati of the slow start his team is off to, including two games against Trenton, one of the top teams in the country. “Our first 15 games are the worst part of our schedule.” SUBMITTED PHOTO PICKERING -- The Pickering Panthers held a meet and greet with some of their younger fans recently. Taking time out of their busy schedules were Kris Barclay (back left) and Mark Ramkema of the Panthers. Representing Pickering minor hockey were Gavin Arnott, Sean Lovisek, Andrew Cecchetto, Jack Schnalzer, and from Ajax minor hockey were Noah Theodore, Andrew Douglas, Jesse Erickson, Curtis McNabb and Ty MacDonald. UNIVERSITY Caldaroni an athlete of the week OSHAWA -- Monica Mak and Matt Caldaroni have been named the UOIT athletes of the week presented by Boston Pizza. Caldaroni, of Pickering, had a week to remember as he record- ed two shutouts for the Ridge- backs men’s soccer team. He stopped four shots on target in each of his appearances as the Ridgebacks beat Laurier 2-0 and tied McMaster 0-0. Mak, a third-year life science major and coxie with the varsi- ty rowing team, led the Ridge- backs women’s eight crew to a silver medal at the Head of the Welland Five Bridges Classic. The crew finished the course with a time of 20:54.07, two min- utes faster than a season ago. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 6, 201123 AP It pays to play.When you pay the FULL optional delivery charge of $6.00,you will receive valuable “ThankYou Coupons” as a receipt.

WESTNEY, Dorothy Evelyn Joblin - July 15, 1913-September 28, 2011. Died at her home on September 28 at the age of 98. Fourth child of Frederick Joblin and Flora Elgie Joblin. Predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Henry Westney, and her sister, Gladys Joblin, and brothers Elgie, Kingsley, and Fred. Leaves two daughters, Eleanor and Jean; grandson Glen Alan Miller and his wife Hajin Kim and granddaughter Sarah Jean Elliott and her husband Jeffrey Elliott; and great-grandchildren Jackson James Elliott and Sierra Jane Elliott. Dorothy was born in Toronto in the home of her maternal grand- parents and grew up in Bayside and Stirling, where her father was a Methodist minister. After attending Normal School, she taught for four years at Frankford Rural school, a one- room schoolhouse with grades 1 through 10. She then attended Victoria College at the University of Toronto, graduating with a B.A. in 1939. She took great pride in the fact that she, all four of her siblings, and her two daughters all graduated from Vic. She taught public school in Pickering and Oshawa until 1942, when she married Henry Westney, a farmer in Pickering. She returned to teaching when her daughters started school, and beginning in 1952 taught the first kindergart- en and then the first junior kindergarten at Lord Elgin Public School in Ajax. She was a much-loved teacher, retiring in 1973. Dorothy was always active in community service. In 1951 she was the founding president of the Ajax-Pickering Women's Hospital Auxiliary, raising funds to build and then support the local hospital. She was continuously active in the Pickering Village United Church, teach- ing Sunday School and serving as one of its two first women elders. After retiring from teaching she founded a chapter of Amnesty International in the Durham region, which grew to be one of Canada's largest, with over 200 members. For these and numerous other service activities she received the Ajax Civic Award in 1988. Even after her stroke on December 2, 2009, which ended over 80 years of accident-free driving, she continued to enjoy life at the home she shared with her daughter, Eleanor, thanks to excellent care from her two daughters, Melanie Milton, Julia Bartley, and the personal service workers from Paramed and St. Elizabeth's. A memo- rial service will be held to celebrate her life at the Pickering Village United Church (300 Church Street N., Ajax) on Saturday, October 15 at 11 a.m. visitation 1 hour prior to ser- vice. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Pick- ering Village United Church or Amnesty Inter- national Group 90 would be much appreciat- ed.

His surprise turned to happi- ness and excitement in a hurry and Lewis, who was in Oshawa with three others as the Power announced its first round of play- ers signings at the Travelodge Hotel, can’t wait to hit the court this month. “I firmly believe that this league can take off and not look back. I have been playing the last two years in Germany. I was planning on going back until I heard about this,” said Lewis, a six-foot-five shooting guard from Painesville, Ohio. “My agent told me about it and I looked into it a little bit ... It’s going to be a great year, a lot of fun and hopefully the Power can make something special happen.” If they do, Lewis will be a big part of it. Following an impressive career at the University of Findlay, where he helped his team capture an NCAA Division II championship, Lewis headed overseas and played the next two years in the German Pro A League, finishing fourth in scoring last season for ETB Wohn- bau, averaging 18.1 points per game. Despite his past success, Lewis said he was caught off guard when the Power opted to make him the player to build their franchise around. “It was kind of surreal. I wasn’t expecting to be drafted No. 1. I went and played hard (at the com- bine) and luckily (VP of basket- ball operations) Gary (Durrant) and coach Mark Strickland saw something in me they thought was worth being picked No. 1,” he said. Lewis was joined last week by two other guards and a forward at the signing announcement. Tut Ruach, a graduate of York University, caught the eye of team brass at the recent showcase week- end the team held at Durham Col- lege, so much so he was among the first players to sign. The six- foot-two combo guard played last season for Itzehoe in Germany, averaging 20.5 points a night, 5.4 assists and 4.3 rebounds. Mississauga native Antwi Atuhene has also joined the club. A standout player at Father Henry Carr Catholic Secondary School, Atuhene went onto play at Ari- zona State University before sev- eral stints professionally, includ- ing one stop in Mexico for Leones Regios de Monterrey. Also on hand was forward Paul Blake, a Toronto native from Cape Breton University. Like Ruach, he was a player who piqued the team’s interest during showcase weekend, although he does have a connection to Durrant in that the two have played pick- up ball in Toronto in the best. “Even if he didn’t come to the showcase, this was a player I was going to be calling,” Durrant said of Blake during the press confer- ence. Though not in town for the announcement, six-foot-eight forward Aaron Perry was the fifth player introduced by the Power. The former Sacramento State player impressed at the showcase. ShawN CayLey / MetrOLaNd OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Power announced the signings of five players last week, including, from left, Tut Rauch, Antwi Atuhene, Morgan Lewis and Paul Blake. Not pictured, but also signed was Aaron Perry.
