MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A walkway near Pickering’s Holy Redeemer Catholic School has been closed after mercury was discovered only a day after a similar incident at nearby Kinsmen Park. On Tuesday, April 9 a teacher at Holy Redeemer noticed a loonie-sized pool of liq- uid on top of a post within a walkway connect- ing the school yard to Luna Court. The teach- er used a glove to wipe up the liquid and dis- posed of it at the school. This was the second time in three days that mercury was found at a Pickering location.

According to the SIU, on March 30 at approximately 7:30 a.m., Ontario Provin- cial Police received a call about a man driv- ing eastbound along Hwy. 401 in an erratic manner. Officers observed the vehicle near Whites Road and attempted to stop it. A short time later, the vehicle did come to a stop. “Officers became involved with the driv- er. He was taken to Sunnybrook Health Sci- ences Centre for treatment,” the SIU said in a release. The SIU is looking for anyone who may have witnessed these events to contact the lead investigator at 416-622-1925 or 1-800- 787-8529 extension 1925. The SIU is an arm’s-length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or alle- gations of sexual assault. police SIU probes incident in Pickering PICKERING -- A Pickering man is facing charges after police seized a handgun and ammunition from his home.

It wasn’t until 1989 that the then 21 year old was allowed to look inside, in search of a missing tool. As Mr. Corbet opened it, his grandfather pointed out the inlaid brass seal of ship- builders Harland and Wolff, and shared the story of his own grandfather, Alexan- der Kincaid, and his work on the Titanic. “He was a master joiner, so he created woodwork that could be fastened with- out nails or screws,” Mr. Corbet explains of Mr. Kincaid, who used the tools to cre- ate doors and marquetry for the legend- ary ship’s smoking lounge and wood- work and carving for the grand staircase. “He contributed to history, unbe- knownst to him it would become so popular,” Mr. Corbet said, noting the centennial of the ship’s sinking on April 15, 1912, brings it all back. “It’s heartwarming to me in a way because it reminds me he had a passion in life, which was woodworking, and he did it up until people decided it wasn’t necessary anymore.” It is family lore that when RMS Titanic sank Mr. Kincaid’s response was to huff grumpily, “well, there goes all my hard work.” Mr. Kincaid moved to Canada in 1909, shortly after com- pleting work on the Titanic. His skills as a master joiner were quickly made redundant by the industrial age and the chest of tools was put away until he gave it to his own grandson, Mr. Corbet’s grandfather, to use in the construction of his new home at Pickering Beach, which still stands on Shoal Point Road. He in turn passed them down to Mr. Corbet, who now uses the mostly wooden tools in his work as a sculptor, to construct wooden bases and plinths. “These tools are instruments that have passed down from generation to generation,” Mr. Corbet said. “When I use them I feel an energy, it’s a sense of power that these have been used in the past purposefully and with fine intent and successful- ly. And they’re still being used today, it’s nice to have that.” Although he now splits his time between Monc- ton and Newfoundland, Mr. Corbet grew up in Ajax and spent a lot of time with family in the Pickering Beach community. Although he’s had many offers to buy the chest, he says it’s not something he would sell, He said he plans to donate it to a museum, hopefully in Ajax, after his death. people Ajax native shares Titanic tale subMitteD photo PICKERING -- Christian Corbet with his forensic facial reconstruction of Private Thomas Lawless, a First World War soldier he helped identify from remains found at Avion, France.

OPEN I N G J U L Y Reser v e y o u r s u i t e n o w Mayor Steve Parish accuses Region of skewing facts TaRa HaTHeRly thatherly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Region’s “war” with the Province over Seaton is a shady waste of taxpayers’ money, according to Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. Ajax council discussed the matter recent- ly, agreeing to support the Province’s posi- tion. “From the very beginning of this process ... it’s been the approach of the Region to vil- ify the Province and to say two things basi- cally -- the Province is killing jobs, and the Province has a conflict of interest,” Mayor Parish said. “There are no jobs being killed here, it’s a matter of reallocation of jobs ... The politicization of this and saying it’s a job killer and the Province isn’t going to pay its fair share is a deliberate obfuscation of what the facts are ... It’s telling a lie ... The Province fully expects, I think, to pay their fair share of the servicing costs, and I think the Region knows that.” Seaton, a planned community project- ed to house approximately 70,000 resi- dents and more than 30,000 jobs by 2031, will occupy 3,000 hectares in southwest Pickering. A main sticking point between the Region and the Province is northeast Pickering, and its relation to Seaton’s job projections. The Region wants northeast Pickering developed as part of Seaton, saying extra land is needed for the community to meet its employment projections, but the Prov- ince disagrees. Recently, regional councillors voiced a laundry list of concerns with the Province’s position on Seaton, including interference with Durham’s autonomy for planning future growth and the potential for $1.2 bil- lion in infrastructure costs to be dumped on local taxpayers. “We went from a plan from the Prov- ince that was cost-neutral to one that now isn’t cost-neutral,” said Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. “The Province has over- stepped their bounds.” Mayor Parish said the Region’s insistence on including northeast Pickering in Seaton is unnecessary, and that developing the area would cause massive downstream storm- water flooding that would bring financial and infrastructure burdens for Ajax, as well as threaten the ecology of the Carruthers Creek watershed and double the number of properties in the Pickering Beach neigh- bourhood floodplain. He also charged the Region’s insistence on pushing the issue at the Ontario Munic- ipal Board is an unjustified and unethical use of taxpayers’ money. “The problem from the very beginning of this has been this process was hijacked very early on by certain politicians supporting the interests of private developers,” he said. “Northeast Pickering is not continuous to any surrounding urban area ... There’s no scientific justification for the need of those lands ... In designating those lands, they were putting forward the interests of private developers.” He continued to say the OMB fight will cost Durham residents millions of dollars in “useless” hearings, adding if the Region would stop pushing the issue, the involved parties could “get down to business and start creating jobs and moving this forward. “I think there’s an opportunity to do that now that’s being missed,” he said. “(North- east Pickering) is the biggest stumbling block to having this resolved ... and a real liability to the Town of Ajax.” Regional Councillor Colleen Jordan expressed a similar sentiment. “The amount of money spent by the Region in fighting over these planning issues, might be better spent in working toward negotiations on the financial issues,” she said. An Ajax staff report supporting the Prov- ince was forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Durham Region, Pickering and Whitby. Regional Councillor Shaun Collier cast the only vote against the report. Councillor Marilyn Crawford was absent.

Upon hearing of the Kinsmen Park inci- dent on the news, the teacher alerted school administration to the suspicious substance and police and fire were called in on Wednes- day, April 11. “A passerby found a substance in the walk- way that we believe to be mercury,” said Brian Danks, platoon chief for Pickering Fire Ser- vices, on the scene. Fire officials cordoned off the walkway and an area around a school dumpster where the teacher deposited the glove. A haz-mat team was called in to clean up the area. “If the public does see any substance like this we’re asking them to leave it alone and call emergency services,” Mr. Danks said, not- ing attempts to clean up the substance can spread the contamination. “If they do spot anything suspicious, stay away, don’t touch it and call emergency ser- vices. In this form the substance is relatively stable but it becomes toxic if it’s ingested or people touch it and then wipe their eyes.” The walkway was expected to remain closed until the afternoon. Mr. Danks said officials weren’t aware of any mercury elsewhere in the area, such as on the playground equip- ment, but noted the City is working to ensure area parks remain safe. “We have asked parks crews to be vigi- lant and keep an eye out for it and we will be investigating other sites,” Mr. Danks said. Rob Gagen, supervisor, parks operations for the City of Pickering, said the City is continu- ing with clean-up operations. “We have been given a 99-per cent clean bill of health for Kinsmen Park,” Mr. Gagen said, noting the park remains closed because some mercury may remain in the seams of the playground equipment. Staff will be meeting with members of the haz-mat team this week to determine when the playground might be safe to reopen. “When we heard about the second inci- dent we did due diligence by dispatching staff to other playgrounds and walkways in the Bay Ridges area and we found nothing,” Mr. Gagen continued. “We want to make sure all our residents, and especially children, are safe.” Area residents expressed shock and con- cern following the incident. “It’s terrible, was it some kind of prank?” said Mila Echevarria, who lives nearby on Luna Court, noting the walkway is frequently used by children travelling to the schoolyard. Neighbour Leena Janes was fearful for her grandchildren, who also use the walkway. “I’d definitely say it raises concerns for me,” she said. “Kids, dogs and cats are walking there every day. I’d like to know where this mercury is coming from and where someone is getting it.” In Kinsmen Park, Pickering resident Kristin Maxwell was shocked to hear about the mer- cury. “It’s very disturbing, I can’t understand why someone would do that,” she said. “My kids are bigger so they don’t play here but it’s really a shame.” While police can’t say whether the incidents are related, they do admit it’s a possibility. “It’s probably too early to tell but it’s possi- ble they are linked, we are keeping our minds open to that,” said Nancy van Rooy, Durham Police spokeswoman, She noted that mercury is fairly easy to come by, often included in children’s science kits and available through retail for the pur- pose of science experiments. The substance can also be found in home thermometers. Laura Freeland, a manager of environmen- tal health for Durham Region, said there are three forms of mercury -- elemental, which is the type found in thermometers and electri- cal switches, organic, which would build up in predatory fish, and inorganic, in which the mercury combines with other substances. “If you’re exposed to elemental mercu- ry, inhalation would be a bigger problem. It would be more easily absorbed. There would be damage to the mouth, respiratory system and the lungs,” Ms. Freeland said. Ingesting mercury would be a problem over time as the substance built up in the body, she said. “It affects the nervous system. You’d have a lack of co-ordination, seizures, tremours, memory loss.” Anyone exposed to mercury should speak with their health-care provider, Ms. Free- land said. “The best course of action is to seek medical attention,” she said. In the incident at Kinsmen Park, where a child touched the mercury, Ms. Freeland said, “It’s low risk and does not pose an immediate health risk.” Ms. van Rooy stressed that no one has been hurt in the incidents and the risk is low due to fact that the sites are outdoors and therefore there is no risk of vapours. An investigation into the incidents is ongo- ing. Anyone with information is asked to con- tact Detective Greg Kent of the West Division Criminal Investigative Bureau at 1-888-579- 1520 ext. 2529.

The answers were mixed. Some politicians said all you need to do is look around at the hospitals and post-secondary facilities to see that this area does get a good chunk of Provincial funding. Others noted funding has fallen short and a stable flow of Provincial cash would go a long way to getting the Region back on track and building again. That’s the message a local group of poli- ticians and business people delivered to a provincial legislative committee last week, a message we hope was heard loud and clear. The Province is considering Bill 11, which would create a fund of $80 million for the geographic area which would include Lon- don, Hamilton and other southwestern municipalities up to Barrie. An existing East- ern Ontario Development Fund of $80 mil- lion includes the area from Peterborough to Northumberland and over to the Quebec border. Durham is not part of either fund and wants to be part of one of them. “It’s (the southwestern fund) targeting areas in southern Ontario that have had dif- ficulties and my argument is every munici- pality has had difficulties and they need to be treated equally,” noted Oshawa Mayor John Henry. The mayor is correct. Durham Region should have access to the same funds as neighbouring municipalities. It’s estimat- ed the Eastern Ontario Fund has helped cre- ate 11,700 jobs in those municipalities that have access to the money. The cash is used to support projects and new technologies that will in turn create jobs. That extra money would go a long way to assisting Durham as it gets ready to see Hwy. 407 extended through to Harmony Road and OPG plans for refurbishment of the Darlington nuclear station. Both massive projects will lead to ancil- lary jobs and hopefully a massive increase in local jobs. OPG estimates its project alone will create thousands of additional jobs. In today’s global market, Ontario munici- palities are no longer competing against each other for jobs. They are competing against American states and areas in China and Mexico. The Region has started getting its message about being open for businesses to areas outside Ontario. Municipal leaders recently came back from France and a trip to China is on the horizon. Provincial cash to help pay for those trips and offer incentives for companies to set up shop in Durham is good business, no mat- ter which way the pie is sliced. The Province should include Durham in one of its funds. If it wasn’t for the prevalence of social media, only a small group of folks would know that Oshawa councillor Amy England tackled a Bruno Mars song in her first ever effort to perform as a drag king. She did it for a fundraiser organized by PFLAG Canada Durham, an organization that provides support to lesbian, gay, bisexu- al, trans and queer residents and their fami- lies. The March 28 event raised money to send youths to leadership camp and while Coun. England was the only local politician to take the stage, the mayors of Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington attended as did councillors from those communities. Proud of her performance and the cause it supported, she posted the video to YouTube. In addition to her lip synching to the song Just the Way You Are, the video shows sever- al people, including Councillor Bruce Wood, handing Coun. England money as she per- forms. The money, of course, would be donat- ed to the night’s cause. And while the video generated a number of clicks, it wasn’t until it was screen captured and the subject of a scathing story in another publication that the local community really started paying attention. The day after the story published, my Face- book stream was full of chatter from people outraged about how the councillors and the PFLAG event were portrayed. One person shared the article with another, and then another and another, and people quickly went from posting about the article to expressing their support of the councillors to expressing their support for the local LGBTQ community as a whole. They changed their Facebook profile pic- tures and posted notes and links about the issue and participated in conversation threads that numbered 30, 40 and 50 com- ments in some cases. In short, the story went viral. A criticism of Facebook activism has always been that what happens on Facebook stays on Facebook, but in this case it went beyond that as members of the LGBTQ community and their allies decided that instead of pro- testing the people who had offended them, they would instead turn the situation into a positive and take a public stand against what they saw as a case of bullying. At Tuesday’s council meeting, there were at least 50 people wearing rainbow hats, scarves, leis, pins and waving rainbow flags. They included kids and seniors, members of the LGBTQ community and their allies. None of the folks was set to officially address council, but by filling the seats in the council chamber, they nevertheless made a strong point. “It just shows we’re here to support councillors who support us,” said Charlie Black, vice-president of PFLAG Canada Dur- ham. Following the meeting, several people headed over to Out Lounge and Eatery on King Street West where people continued to share their stories and network. It was a festive atmosphere and complete transformation of a negative incident into an opportunity for members of the community from all backgrounds to connect. From Facebook posts to boots on the ground, the point was clearly made that members of the LGBTQ community and their allies stand strong and stand together in Dur- ham. --Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

Toby Lennox, vice-president of corporate affairs and communica- tions for the GTAA, told Durham Region’s planning committee the GTAA is looking for some sort of resolution to the issue. “No matter what we do, we have to invest in Pearson. We’ve been urging Transport Canada to make a decision on Pickering. A lot of peo- ple are waiting,” Mr. Lennox said on Tuesday. Whitby Councillor Joe Drumm said, “At some point of time, we need Pickering.” Having Pickering would allevi- ate the need to spend billions to renovate Pearson, Coun. Drumm added. “You’ll have to talk to Transport Canada. It’s not a decision of ours to make,” Mr. Lennox said. Mr. Lennox was presenting the GTAA’s annual update about the organization’s work, which includes operating Pearson International Airport. He noted of the 30,000 people who work at Pearson, about 1,400 live in Durham Region. “It’s a bit of a hike, but 1,400 make it every week,” Mr. Lennox said. About 33.4 million passengers went through Pearson in 2011, and traffic was up 4.7 per cent over 2010, he added. “We have capacity to grow,” he said. “The rate of growth is surprising, given the softness of the economy. International traffic is really grow- ing,” he said. Travel to Asia has risen by almost 20 per cent, Mr. Lennox said. The overall amount of traffic going to and from Asia is “small, but it’s growing rapidly. The bulk of our traffic is to the U.S. and Canadian domestic flights.” The focus of renovations will be on Terminal 3, he said, adding the work will cost $4.4 billion. “It’s a facility that is tired and needs help.” The cost “is middle of the road for an airport.” Renovations at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport cost $9 billion, while $7 bil- lion was spent at Heathrow in Lon- don, England. “Renovations at airports are incredibly expensive because of the services we need to put in,” Mr. Len- nox said. When asked about getting to the airport, Mr. Lennox said it’s an issue “not just for a traveller. Those 1,400 jobs, that’s a big issue for us. Access across Toronto is a big issue for us. You have very high-skilled labour in Durham and we want access to it.” But, he added that no one has made a decision on whether to go to Paris, France based on accessing Pearson.

The clerk relayed a licence plate number to police. A short time after the robbery a man turned himself in, police said. Terry Eno, 45, of Whitby, faces robbery and weapons charges. Police continue to investigate the robbery of a Little Caesars pizza shop on Kingston Road just after midnight Saturday in Pickering.

The Pickering church has been offer- ing its Youth Achievement Schol- arship program for the last six years. Originally conceived by the Ladies Fellowship group, the scholarship includes a spiri- tual component and in 2009 a new bursary was added to pro- vide financial and spiritual support to a student studying in a developing country. Over the past four years the program has presented scholarships to 12 stu- dents from the Ajax and Pickering area and four international students, includ- ing youth from Tanzania, Uganda, Gua- temala and Guyana. High school students who are residents of Ajax or Pickering and plan to attend university or college in September 2012 are eligible for a bursary. Applicants are asked to outline their academic performance, leadership roles and community service and write an essay detailing how they would use their spirituality to help others in their planned career. Scholarship applica- tions are available online at www.stpaulsonthehill. com, at the church or at school guidance offices. Submissions will be evaluated and results deter- mined by an independent selec- tion committee made up of educators and business and community represen- tatives.

You go to the golf course. Plus the fact I enjoy it.” He also gets an added bonus of working alongside his sons, Scott and David. “And that’s a pleasure,” he points out. Even his wife, Sandra, still pops in from time to time. When it comes to who’s in charge, there’s no question. “I’m the boss and I have her permission to say so,” he jokes. Paterson is one of the original founders of the golf course locat- ed in the hamlet of Ashburn, just north of Whitby. And this year is a special one for the club as it celebrates its 50th anniversary. To see the course in its current state, it’s hard to imagine visual- izing the potential back in 1959 when Paterson and Bill Ogle pur- chased the land, with the inten- tion of building a championship golf course. “It had all the elements,” recalls Paterson of the vision he and Ogle shared. At the time, Paterson was the golf pro at the Pickering Golf Club (now Seaton) and Ogle, who is 97 but left the course in the mid- 80s, was the pro at Rouge Hill. “It was land that was not flat but rolling,” continues Paterson. “It had a creek, Lynde Creek, that runs through the property, and of course you need water on a golf course. The size of it, 150 acres, it had the amount of room that was required for a champi- onship, 18-hole golf course. “The other thing, it was far enough away from the built-up population that the price was within our means. We looked at properties that were below Hwy. 7, or even further south, and of course the property values were not within our reach. “All those factors came into play.” In the spring of 1962, the first tee shots were launched at the Whitby Golf Club. The club changed its name to Thunder- bird Golf Club shortly after, but in 2000, to commemorate a visit from Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, and to tie into the 150th anniversary celebrations of Ashburn, the facility officially became known as the Royal Ash- burn Golf Club. Back in the day, Paterson com- peted in three Canadian Opens, making the cut at one that was held in Edmonton, Alberta back in the 1960s. While he still plays, it’s usually just nine holes, but he still has game, frequently break- ing 40. Over that time, he’s seen count- less changes in the industry. With the evolution of equipment came changes to keep up with the distance golfers were hitting the ball. “Because of all the changes, we’ve had to make numerous changes to the golf course over the years,” he says, most nota- bly moving tee blocks back to increase the yardage. Now, he sees the trend going the other way. “Now that philosophy has changed. We’re now building for- ward tees to accommodate those players who really just can’t nav- igate from those distances and they don’t enjoy the course,” he says of constructing nine for- ward tees over the past three or four years. “There’s no point in going out and playing a golf course that you can’t handle physically and hit the ball far enough to score the way you should or could. It’s much more fun if you can shoot a decent game and be satisfied. Shorter tees are the answer to those kind of problems.” To commemorate its 50th anni- versary, Royal Ashburn has a number of events planned for the week of July 9-15, includ- ing a gala banquet on the 12th. A hardcover anniversary book, with photographs and stories outlining the history of the club, will also be available for sale dur- ing the week. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ap r i l 1 2 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP ONLY $549 + HST Active From May 1st to October 31st 7-Days a Week After 4:30pm Unlimited Golf on both the Championship and Highland Courses Perfect for those quick rounds after work Evening Golf Package April Special ~$27 Highland Course $59 Championship Course Anytime 7-Days a Week May Special ~$32 Highland Course $69 Championship Course After 11am 7-Days a Week *All Prices Subject to HST* Spring Golf & Cart Specials Hosting 16 To 316 Players We Build You a Website!* Tee Times or Shotguns Available Customizable Menus Driving Range & Bag Drop *Contact Kevin Greenwood @ ext. 253 for full details Tournaments at Mill Run Mill Run Golf Club RR#1,269 Durham Road 8,Uxbridge, ON, L9P 1R1 P:905-852-6212 TF: 1-800-465-8633 www.golfmillrun.com 905 655 9187 or 1 888 854 1892 3430 7th Concession Rd., Pickering.

After being courted by the University of Houston Cougars during a recruitment period that opened last September, the Ajax resident made a verbal commitment to join the school’s golf program beginning in 2013. Relieved and excited are just a couple of words he used to describe the feeling. “Once we narrowed it down to the short list of five or six, Houston was at the top of my list,” says the Grade 12 student at Ajax High School. “Once we made the visit, it was definitely the place I wanted to go.” Scobie has continued to move up the competitive ladder on the links, culminat- ing with receiving an Order of Merit Award from the Golf Association of Ontario for his play in 2010. The award recognized Scobie as one of the top-five junior golfers in his division in the province. That winning trend continued again in 2011. Included in his titles last year was the Investors Group Ontario Junior Spring Classic, topping the best 17- and 18-year- old players in the province as an under- age. Hosted by Wooden Sticks Golf Club in Uxbridge, Scobie fired rounds of 71-69- 78 to win by a single stroke. He also won a Future Collegiate World Tour event at Doral Golf Resort in Miami. When recruiting letters began to arrive last fall, Scobie established some criteria, with weather and coaching topping the list. He visited Ohio State, but it couldn’t compare to Houston. “The commitment (Houston) have to building a winning program and even helping me succeed personally, that was my No. 1, how much support the coaches were willing to give,” he says of the positive impression the Texas school made. “All of that culminated together. Even the histo- ry of Houston. They are a winning school with 16 national championships. “It all fit my criteria and was something I wanted to be a part of.” He’s looking forward to playing on the home course at Redstone Golf Club, which hosts the Shell Houston Open each year, a regular stop on the PGA Tour, as well as enrolling in some business-related cours- es. Some former team members who went on to professional careers include Fred Cou- ples, Steve Elkington, Bruce Lietzke, John Mahaffey, Bill Rogers and Blaine McCallis- ter. CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz was also a member of the school’s golf team. As for how he will fill his time once school is out, Scobie is leaving his options open of whether to return to high school for a vic- tory lap, or spending the time improving his game for his freshman season at Hous- ton.

In addition to being ranked the No. 1 recreational activity in the country, golf also accounts for more than $11 bil- lion in the Canadian economy every sin- gle year. To meet the need for employees highly trained in all operational aspects of this growing industry, Durham College is introducing a new two-year golf facil- ity operations management diploma pro- gram for September.

The Durham Lords duo of Tif- fany Albath and Kayleigh Krae- mer won a second straight CCAA women’s golf national championship in October, post- ing a combined score of 327, eight strokes ahead of their next closest competitors, a pair from Barrie’s Georgian College. Before the ink had dried on her freshly signed scorecard, Kraemer shared her thoughts on a second consecutive title. “I’m really happy right now,” Kraemer stated in a press release. “This was my last CCAA Cham- pionship so it feels very good to finish with a win. It was windy today and that made it pret- ty tough. I played pretty solid, just a few mistakes and a tough double-bogey on 15. Winning is what’s most important. As I said, I’m very happy.” Meanwhile, for Albath, the team gold wasn’t all the hard- ware she managed. Consecutive rounds of nine- over 81 gave her a two-day total of 162, good for third place in the women’s individual compe- tition and, of course, the bronze medal. The 2011 OCAA wom- en’s champion adds that medal to the silver she captured at last year’s nationals. Josee Doyon of Champlain St. Lawrence in Quebec won the individual title with a remark- able two-day total of 148. Kraemer finished out of indi- vidual medal contention in fourth place with rounds of 84 and 83 totalling 165, three shots behind Albath. Kraemer won national bronze last year, and is a three-time OCAA medalist. Combining their accomplish- ments from each of the last two years, Albath and Kraemer have totaled five CCAA medals. Meanwhile, on the men’s side, David Lang finished in a tie for fourth place, with a two day total of 149. Lang finished one stroke out of a podium finish as Mathieu Arsenault of Holland College was in third place at 148. Adrian Cord of Humber Col- lege won the national title with a two-day total of 140. Durham finished in sixth place in the team competition, 15 strokes behind Fraser Val- ley who won bronze. Humber repeated as champions with a combined score of 296. Other Durham individual results included Sean Perkins (T31), Kyle Roy (T35), Adam Miller (T40) and David Pinker- ton (53).
