COMMUNITY Young scribe talks to Jet, Spider, Too Tall and Slick Willie Shaw HARI RAGAVAN VENKATRAMAN newsroom@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Watching the Har- lem Globetrotters play was sim- ply magical. I got the opportunity to be the junior reporter covering the Harlem Globetrotters game at the General Motors’ Center on Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Before the game, I got the chance to speak to three of the players (Jet, Spider, and Too Tall) and then interviewed number 40, Slick Wil- lie Shaw. During the interview, Slick stated that Michael Jordan was one of his biggest influences. Slick picked up the ball at six and he never thought of stopping and said never will. His advice for kids was, “Keep going no matter what anybody tells you and never, ever give up.” After that I was taken to the players’ bench to sit with the Globetrotters, while the game went on. I would have to say, one of the coolest and funniest parts was when Too Tall hoisted him- self onto the basketball net and prevented the ball from going in, by kicking it away. In the end the Globetrotters won 102-96 against the Elite’s. The Globetrotters cap- tured the hearts of people of all ages. It was a night many will not forget for a long, long time. Editor’s note: Hari Ragavan Venkatraman won our Harlem Globetrotters Contest to become a junior reporter, receiving a special assignment and four tickets to the Globetrotters’ game in Oshawa April 11.

A Ford Escape was travelling along Beachpoint Promenade when it swerved, hit a guardrail and went over into about four feet of water just after 5 p.m. Thurs- day, April 12. One male and one female were in the car at the time it entered the water. Pickering Fire Services responded. “When fire got on site the two occu- pants of the vehicle were already out,” said Steve Fowlds, Fire Prevention Officer with Pickering Fire Services. “No one was hurt.” The vehicle was removed from the water by a tow truck, with the assistance of fire services. Sabrina byrneS / metroland PICKERING -- Police and firefighters were on scene after a vehicle ended up in the water off Beachpoint Promenade April 12. Feedback I’m not on the Sunshine List To the editor: Re: ‘Some never got a chance to be on ‘Sunshine List’, letter to the editor, durham- region.com, March 31, 2012. The author is incorrect with his statement that the Toronto Fire Department was not hiring white males in the 1980s. As a white male myself, I applied with the TFD in 1988, and was hired two years later. Unfortunately, the letter writer’s mistake was in listening to someone who had no idea what they were talking about. I heard the same story and still applied, along with thousands more. Many people hired in 1990 (to fill many vacancies from retirements) were white males. As for working the job for half the pay, I doubt it. I can remember two work- ing fires while I was inside the building with my crew and I got lost and disorient- ed, and thought I wasn’t going to make it out before my air supply ran out. Those heart-stopping moments make one realize how important family is, and just how dangerous firefighting can be. And by the way, I’ve been a firefighter for 22 years and I’m not on the Sunshine List. Gord Tewnion Ajax development Seaton will be anything but sustainable To the editor: The City of Pickering’s proposed devel- opment of Seaton lands will be anything but a sustainable community. Don’t be fooled by the Provincial Central Development plan for Seaton. The Conser- vative provincial government gave away huge amounts of provincial land to devel- opers in Pickering. They said it was to save the Oak Ridges Moraine. Don’t be fooled by the spin doctors. Seaton land is more environmentally sensitive than any land in the greenbelt area. The provincial Liberal government con- ducted a non-comprehensive “class” envi- ronmental assessment that did not fully examine the effects of urban development on the 111 wetlands, 38 species of fish, three cold-water streams, Duffin creek, 38 per cent woodlots, wildlife habitat and three aquifers in Seaton. Nor did they pro- duce a good business case, infrastructure costs or options. The Province’s resulting Central Pickering Development Plan will fragment Seaton into 13 neighbourhoods surrounded by natural corridors. But 42 roads, bridges and utilities will cross the natural corridors to connect the neighbourhoods. Dr. Ken Howard, hydrogeologist, in a review of the provincial plan, states, “The provincial plan ignores the complex hydrgeological systems, the sensitive aqui- fers and the potential long-term impacts of urbanization on the quantity and qual- ity of water in local wells and river systems. From a hydrogelogical standpoint, the pro- vincial plan, as it currently exists, is unac- ceptable.” Now we find out three years later Dur- ham Region and City of Pickering taxpay- ers could be on the hook for a total $1.4 bil- lion (estimate). Both Durham and Pickering are asking the provincial government to make Seaton revenue neutral. May I remind all govern- ments there is only one taxpayer for all levels of government and that enough is enough? The developers obtained the land for free, the taxpayers pay all infrastructure costs. What does it take to get these land deals?

Ms. Horwath is demanding a new tax bracket for wealthy Ontarians earning more than $500,000 before NDP members will support the Liberal budget, enough to avert a non-confidence vote and anoth- er election. Notwithstanding the negli- gible impact such a move will have on reducing Ontario’s ballooning deficit, it would appear that the Liberals will have to hold their noses and agree to the NDP demands. Meanwhile, provincial Finance Minister Dwight Duncan has openly mused that the NDP demands could see a flight of high- earning Ontarians -- and the businesses they tend to run -- to more tax-friendly jurisdictions, which would of course also have an impact on government revenues when they need them most. The finance minister quite properly noted that Ontar- io’s tax scheme for individuals and busi- nesses must remain competitive with other regions. The budget motion will be debated next week at the provincial legislature and the government could fall if no compromise is reached, or if the Liberals simply reject the new tax bracket proposed by Ms. Hor- wath. But the bottom line is that Ontarians, after several federal minority govern- ments and seemingly endless elections, remain weary of going to the polls. In such a scenario, if the government falls over this budget, the Liberals will like- ly be punished at the ballot box, and any gains made by the NDP in the last election would be at risk. To that end, and to ensure another elec- tion is avoided, we encourage the Liberals to continue discussions with the NDP, and work to have them move from their posi- tion that would allow the government to stand while allowing the New Democrats to live up to the principles of their propos- al. If that means raising the income thresh- old, or introducing a new tax bracket over a longer period of time, it should be con- sidered and debated. If it means bringing something else to the table that can lead to common ground for the Liberals and the NDP, that should also be explored. Ontarians do not want another election. They want the legislative parties to find common ground, seek compromise and focus on the business of governing. -- Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser I have the travel bug all of a sudden. And no, it’s not something I ate. I’m just antsy as hell. I’d love to be on the road or in the canoe or even on a plane. The latter, not quite so much. While I am a big believer in the old axiom ‘getting there is half the fun’, I’ve come to regard flying as more of a necessary evil than anything else. Like income tax, rubella vaccinations and colonoscopies, air travel has become something to be endured. And unlike the semi-literate, baton- wielding goons at airport security (an oxy- moron if ever I heard one), the colonosco- py folks at least say please before violating me. Ironically, for an individual who com- mutes over an hour one way to work most days, the car is still my preferred mode of travel. I love a road trip. I might grumble about the daily slog into Toronto but I would happily get behind the wheel and drive across the country. I can put hours and hours in the car as long as it’s new terri- tory underneath the tires. I think a big part of my love of auto travel is, if you’ll forgive the pun, the autonomy of it. I’m not good with being on other peo- ple’s agendas. I loathe crowds, I hate lin- ing up for anything and I’m impulsive as hell. Years ago I stopped requesting the window seat in airplanes when I began to have an almost uncontrollable urge to pop the emergency exit open and get a closer look whenever we were flying over some- thing cool. Airlines frown on that sort of behaviour. But in a car, you can stop wherever and whenever you want. Especially if you’re travelling solo. And that’s a fairly impor- tant caveat. I know I’m not the perfect traveling com- panion. People like me are exasperating to ‘A’ types. For someone who just wants to ‘get there’ as fast as possible, being in a car with me must be a perfect form of hell. It’s like sharing a vehicle with a magpie. “Oooh look! Something shiny! Let’s pull over!” But isn’t that half the fun? Isn’t that where the treasure lies? The roadside shack that had the best butter tarts in the world. The rickety used book store that you could happily get lost in. The dirt road that leads to the prettiest stretch of river you’ve ever seen. The other huge bonus of car travel is that you get to choose who you sit beside. I know, I know, we’re supposed to embrace the new and every chance to connect with a stranger is the opportunity to grow and learn, but who’s kidding who? When was the last time you sat beside a quantum physicist or a brain surgeon or an astro- naut on a plane? No. If you’re like me, you draw the NASCAR enthusiast with summer teeth or the sullen, gum-snapping, teen runaway with more piercings than a voodoo doll who glares at you as though you were per- sonally responsible for global warming, HIV and acne. Or, God forbid, the jumbo-sized loud talker who seems oblivious to the fact that it generally takes two to carry on a conver- sation. Throw in a toilet that looks like someone was running a sprinkler in it and you’ve got the reality of air travel. Give me the open road any day. -- Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 AP Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ap r i l 1 8 , 2 0 1 2 HOT TOPICS: What’s your sign?

This out- take was shot while try- ing to get a pet pig to co- operate for a photo. What I learned is that pigs defi- nitely don’t like to be told what to do and make their protests vocal. What was supposed to be a simple pig shot turned into one of the most hilarious, challenging and down- right absurd assignments I have ever had. Blog your way to a free movie As the Rolling Stones, not one of my favourite bands, sang, ‘You can’t always get what you want’. Those lyrics hit home to me last week when a project I’ve been working on sort of crashed and burned before it hit the run- way. Last month I wrote about an idea to try to get our readers writing movie reviews. They don’t have to be long, just some words on why a movie is good or not and why. The idea was to host that give-and-take on our website under the movies tab. But a meeting last week with some of our IT peo- ple put the kibosh on how I wanted to host the reviews. To explain it in layman’s terms, which is how they had to explain it to me, we are moving to a new type of website which will be able to host a movie review site. That isn’t happening until January, and if I have learned anything about IT people, that usu- ally means July. So until then, no resources are being pumped into our current system. So, no movie review site for now. But as the Stones also noted, ‘You’ll find sometimes, you get what you need.’ So to get around the IT group, I’ve start- ed a blog called Movie Time. You can go here and comment on movies, share your thoughts and tell our readers what to steer clear of. To entice you to find your inner Roger Ebert, we’re offering a prize for the best review or comment each week. You could win a $25 gift card to the AMC Theatres in Whitby. All you have to do is go to durham- region.com, click on opinion then on blogs and start writing. Being the managing edi- tor I had a little pull and made sure my blog was at the top. My first review is of the movie Hunger Games. I won’t repeat the review here but I liked it, I didn’t love it. I enjoyed John Cart- er more. So head on over and read what I thought about the movie and feel free to let me know if I’m on the money or off my rocker. You won’t be the first. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston is making IT voodoo dolls.

COmmuNIty Calling all amateur radio operators Learn more about amateur radio at Hamfest in Pickering PICKErINg -- Amateur radio operators from across Durham can find interesting exhibits and like-minded individuals at the upcoming Hamfest. Now in its 36th year, the Durham Region Amateur Radio Hamfest is host- ed jointly by the South Pickering Ama- teur Radio Club and the North Shore Amateur Radio Club. This year’s event will be held Saturday, April 21 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The show will bring together manu- facturers, commercial vendors and flea market vendors to provide communi- cation information, services and equip- ment to amateur radio enthusiasts. To become an amateur radio opera- tor, also known as a ham, people must receive proper training and pass a basic course exam in amateur radio, which covers basic electronics, the proper set- up and use of radio equipment and the rules and regulations that govern the hobby. Courses are generally available through local ham radio clubs, and certification exams will be available at Hamfest. Once people pass the test, they are issued a call sign by Industry Canada to be used in identifying themselves over the air. Admission to Hamfest is $6.

Visit pickering.ca/animals to learn about coyotes and other wildlife commonly found in Pickering.If you would like to contact them directly, call 905.683.7575 or by email at animalservices@pickering.ca The Rouge Valley and other green spaces surrounding us make a perfect habitat for wildlife to live and flourish, including coyotes. Coyotes are generally shy animals that do not want a confrontation however they are often drawn to places where they can easily find food. Below are a few tips to help minimize a potential interaction with a coyote; •Garbage should always be kept indoors until the morning of pick-up, and should always be stored in animal-proof containers •Remove bird feeders (coyotes are attracted to bird seed, birds, squirrels etc) •Do not leave small children outside and unattended •Do not allow pets to run freely, keep them on a leash If you do encounter a coyote remember to remain calm. Do not turn your back or run away,rather back away slowly.If walking at dawn or dusk, bring a whistle or personal device to frighten any approaching animal. Remember, please do not feed the wildlife,it will attract all kinds of animals, not just the small cute ones.

The Canadian Institute for Health Infor- mation recently released a new online resource which documents how individual hospital corporations perform compared to the Canadian average among hospitals of similar size. On seven performance indicators Lak- eridge Health -- which includes hospitals in Oshawa, Bowmanville and Port Perry -- scored within the range of the national aver- age in five categories and below the nation- al average for 28-day readmission rates for heart attack patients. Meanwhile, the hospital was 80 per cent better than the provin- cial average on readmission rates after hip surgery and 30 per cent better for knee surgery. “I’m really proud of some of the things we’ve worked on, this shows we’ve been successful,” said Lakeridge CEO Kevin Empey. He added the data on heart attacks was eye opening. “I believe we do really well with imme- diate first encounter ... we have to look at follow-up after they go home,” he said. “It’s something we need to study.” Rouge Valley Health System, which includes the Ajax-Pickering hospital, scored above the national average in three catego- ries: 28-day readmission after heart attacks, 90-day readmission after hip replacements and 90-day readmission after knee replace- ments. The hospital was below the national aver- age in 28-day readmission after strokes and 30-day mortality after heart attacks. Dr. Naresh Mohan, chief of staff for RVHS, said he doesn’t find the CIHI data useful and said it doesn’t take a number of vari- ables into account. “Are you seeing primarily patients who walk into the emerg or are you hav- ing referred patients and seeing sicker patients?” he said. With regard to the heart attack mortality rates, Dr. Mohan said his hospital corpo- ration performs a procedure called STEMI which involves a rapid opening of a blocked artery to abort a heart attack and because of that procedure a larger number of serious heart cases are sent to Rouge Valley. Dr. Mohan points to the above-average performance in 28-day heart attack read- missions as an indicator the hospital’s pro- gram is working and said he’s not sure what accounts for the stroke figure as RVHS is not a stroke centre. In other categories tracked by CIHI, both hospitals had higher C-section rates than the national average of 26.94 per 100 births and lower rates of vaginal births for patients who have had C-sections in the past. The national average was 17.46 per 100. At Lakeridge Health, the C-section rate was 34.62 per and the vaginal birth rate after C-section was 10.39. Mr. Empey said Lakeridge staff was already aware the C-section rate was above the pro- vincial averages and had taken measures to correct it. Discussions started two years ago with staff in the mother and child program, but progress wasn’t being made and there was a leadership change with a new direc- tor hired last fall. Meanwhile, at RVHS, the C-section rate was 30.66 and only 6.71 per 100 women who had C-sections in the past went on to give vaginal birth. “I think to some degree, it may be person- al practice, it may be patient choice, it may be you’re so concerned about getting the baby out healthy, you make that decision rather than waiting,” said Dr. Mohan. Rouge Valley also received poor marks in the financial category where the data showed the hospital spent 8.79 per cent of its budget on administration. The national average is 4.84 per cent and while GTA hospitals tended to spend more, Rouge Valley’s figures were still relatively high. Hospital CEO Rik Ganderton said one of the factors is higher insurance costs. Rouge Valley pays double the insurance other hos- pitals do as a result of a class-action mal- practice suit over events in the late 1990s and early 2000s in the obstetrics depart- ment, and a fraud case that cost the hospital $2 million. Mr. Ganderton added that recent restruc- turing resulted in severances being paid out and those costs are reflected in the high- er administration costs as well. He added that the corporation instituted a three-year deficit elimination plan and in future, the restructuring costs will not be as significant, but it will be about three years before insur- ance costs start to go down. Both Dr. Mohan and Mr. Empey stressed that their hospitals are safe and committed to continuing to improve. “This just becomes a rallying cry for a cou- ple of other initiatives to be added to our goals and action plans for improvements for each year,” said Mr. Empey. the full CiHi results can be viewed online: visit www.cihi.ca Performance check up for Durham hospitals Metroland File pHoto AJAX -- Anesthesiologist Dr. Magdi Gaid prepared Brigitte Boyd for surgery on her foot. this just becomes a rallying cry for a couple of other initiatives to be added to our goals and action plans for improvements for each year.

It enhances our identity, pro- vides connections to our past and makes our community an attractive place to live, work and visit.” The committee recommended council designate the home and require a lot of 135 feet by 140 feet in order to retain the home’s heritage context should the prop- erty be developed. Residents backed the committee’s rec- ommendation, noting that the home is an anchor within the community. “This home shapes the West Shore com- munity, 560 Park Cres. is one of the pre- cious gems of Pickering and needs to be protected tonight,” said resident Mary Humphrys. The home, which has been owned by members of the Newman family since the 1920s, was passed to a trust upon the death of the family patriarch in July 2011, with the six Newman children, includ- ing current resident Richard Newman, as beneficiaries. The family was split on the issue. “The thing I resent most is that all of you people can come here and tell someone how to live their life,” Mr. Newman said. “Everybody admires that place but I invite you all to come and live in that place and look at the decrepit condition it’s in even though we have worked many years to maintain it. People of the community can dictate to a person who has that prop- erty what they can and can’t do, that’s not democracy.” His sisters Patrician Newman and Mar- garet Marsh supported the designation, with conditions. “My wish is to see the current controver- sy over the property resolved so the best wishes of the family and heritage groups are served,” Ms. Marsh explained. “I’m happy to have the house and a small parcel of land designated as long as the entire property is not designated, the time line of any sale is not pushed back or delayed and the dollar value of the prop- erty is not decreased due to possible fears of heritage designation.” Councillors were in support of designa- tion, but did have some reservations. “I support the designation but I do so with some reservations because I’m a big property rights guy,” said Councillor Kevin Ashe, whose ward includes the West Shore neighbourhood. “I think it’s important that we take first steps today and that’s exactly what this is, just a first step toward designation. This is a valuable piece of property, I support designation and protection but at the same time I realize it’s a significant asset to the family and I will support responsi- ble growth and development of the rest of the property.” Council voted unanimously in support of the designation. Once a notice of inten- tion of designation is published interested parties will have 30 days to submit com- ments in support of or objecting to the designation.

The Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee has declared 560 Park Cres. architecturally significant as an excellent example of a mid- 19th century Georgian-inspired stone farm- house and for the fine craftsmanship of its masonry and details. The home is also contextually significant as the only remaining residence from its era in the West Shore neighbourhood and for its local prominence as a landmark and repre- sentation of Pickering’s early history. The house has been home to such notable residents as Peter Nesbit, who con- structed the home in the 1850s and was one of the founders of Dunbarton-Fairport United Church as well as several generations of Newmans, including Harry A. Newman, who established St. Paul’s on-the-Hill in 1934 and William G. Newman, the youngest reeve of the Township of Pickering and long-running MPP, who served as minister of the environ- ment and minister of agriculture and food during his political career. 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 8 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP JOURNEY 5 PERSON, 22 JETS LED LIGHTING, WATER FA LL + + + POSEIDON ODYSSEY 6 PERSON, 38 JETS LED LIGHTING, WATER FA LL + + + 6 person, 22 jets, 5hp pump,LED Lighting Package. 7 Person 204 IPG 203 204Spa FeaturesTwo 5hp pumps • Maintenance-free fully insulated exterior cabinetry • Cascading water fall • Luxury headrests • LED safety and mood light • Heat shield insulated cover • Stereo system speakers with Sub Woofer • 41-44 Hydrotherapy jets and much more!!! 6 Person 203 4 DAYS ONLY MANUFACTURER PRICING SAVE $$$ ABOVEGROUNDPOOLS!

Such is the nature when you finish off one series, as they did against the Whitby Fury in Game 6 of the Ontario Junior Hockey League final last Friday, and then fly out to Thunder Bay less than 72 hours later to participate in the Dudley Hewitt Cup. “It hasn’t really sunk in for me yet,” said sec- ond-year Spirit forward and Pickering native Drake Caggiula. “It is an incredible experi- ence, though, knowing we are here at the Dud- ley and have a good chance to go to the RBC. Hopefully we can pull through.” They certainly pulled through against Whitby, with much of the credit going to Cag- giula, who was named playoff MVP for his efforts throughout. In that series, the North Dakota-bound for- ward was all over the scoresheet in four of the six games, scoring two points in the series opener, followed by a goal in Game 4, three more and five points total in Game 5 and another goal and one assist in the Game 6 series-clinching 4-3 win in overtime, a game nobody on either side will soon forget. Down 3-1 -- the one goal coming from Cag- giula -- the Spirit looked as though they were headed for another Game 7. But goals with the extra attacker from Alex Botten and Christian Powers inside the final minute tied things up before Brandon Gaudette was money in over- time, banging in his own rebound to send the Spirit into celebration mode. Caggiula admits that the Spirit didn’t expect much heading into that chaotic final minute. “We didn’t know what to do really. We just kept saying, ‘let’s throw pucks on net and see what happens’ and luckily for us we got a goal early in that last minute to make it a one-goal game. We ended up getting the puck deep again and the goalie pulled and we got anoth- er puck on net and fortunately it went in,” he said. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to win like that.” It’s one thing to win in such a manner, it’s a completely other thing to have that win result in a league championship. Caggiula said the emotion of that moment will be forever etched in the minds of he and his Spirit teammates, including the likes of Pickering’s Sean Power and Ajax’s Robert Pow- ers, who have both played solid on the blue- line throughout the entire playoff run. “All season long everyone has had one goal and that one goal was to lift the Buckland Cup at the end of the year ... I can’t remember ever being happier playing hockey. It was an amaz- ing experience. I don’t know if that will ever happen again, so I am glad I had that chance,” he said. Another chance now awaits at the Dudley, which got underway for Stouffville last night (after our print deadline) against Wisconsin. And if Stouffville makes it through to the final, it will be a grind with the very real possibili- ty that they could play five games in as many days to end up with a shot at the prize. “Five games in five nights could be tough,” Caggiula admitted. “Hopefully we don’t have to do that, but no matter what to get to the finals it’s going to be a tough journey.” The tournament will feature the northern champion Soo Thunderbirds, the Superior International Junior Hockey League champion Wisconsin Wilderness, and the host Thunder Bay North Stars, along with the Spirit. The winner advances to the RBC Cup in Humbolt, Saskatchewan next month.

The Northern Alliance Press nar- rowly beat the undefeated Top Shelf team by a score of 46-44. NAP players Sherwin James (19), Claude Feig (11) and Don McEachern (11) dominated the point scoring, net- ting 37 of the team’s 46 points. In the other semifinal round the Right Step led at one point in the game by 22 points, but the ESN Pack- ing House team fought back to come close to beating the Right Step, finish- ing the game 47-45. The game-win- ning points never came for ESN as a last second three-point buzzer beater circled the rim but just didn’t drop. The Right Step’s Claude Whitfield led his team with 23 points while Roger Young tallied 10. In the C championship game, Michael’s Eatery beat Dickson’s Printing 67-52. The leading scorer in that game was Ravi Persad with 24 points. The A championship will see NAP take on the Right Step while the con- solation round will see Top Shelf play ESN.

C A “Nec Quisquam Nisi Ajax” Hockey Move to the Soo pays off for Barclay Ajax resident wins northern junior hockey league championship BrAd kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com SAULT STE. MARIE -- Kris Barclay knows what it feels like to be a champion. He just has a hard time putting it into words. The Ajax resident celebrated with his team- mates on the Sault Ste. Marie Thunderbirds last week after becoming Copeland Cup champions, emblematic of the top prize in the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League. The Soo beat the North Bay Trappers four games to one to win the league title. “It’s an incredible feeling,” he said late last week. “It’s hard to explain. Everyone works hard to become a team and everyone plays together. To win as a team it’s an incredible feeling. Everyone rallied together. “There’s no other feeling like it, to be hon- est.” Barclay was a late-season acquisition by the Thunderbirds, obtained from the Pickering Panthers as a defenceman in his last season of junior eligibility who could add a veteran presence and depth to a team already in first place. The Thunderbirds finished the season with a 37-11-2 record, then won three straight rounds in the playoffs, eliminating the Blind River Beavers and Sault Ste. Marie Eagles en route to the finals. Ever since packing his gear and arriving in the north, Barclay has felt welcomed. “Everyone in the whole organization, the players, staff, and even people in the town, my billets, everyone has been so welcoming. I’ve been accepted,” said the 20 year old. “I’ve come in and I’ve done my best to help the team out any way I could. I felt like a part of the team the first day I got here.” In the playoff run, the Soo went 10-3, solid- ifying their position as the top-seeded team in the northern loop. Sometimes it can be tough being the top dog and stay motivated. That didn’t seem to be the case here. “I have to give credit to our coaching staff and our leadership group,” said Barclay, add- ing that a hard work ethic in practice and staying focused contributed to the team’s success. “Everyone wants to win just as bad as the next guy. It helps when you have a group of guys that are willing to sacrifice and do what it takes.” While the Thunderbirds can boast of being the northern champs, there’s still more hock- ey to play. This week, the Dudley Hewitt Cup in Thunder Bay will determine one team that will head off to Humboldt, Saskatchewan from May 5-13 for the Royal Bank Cup, where a national champion will be declared. The Dudley Hewitt Cup will feature the northern champion Thunderbirds, the Ontario Junior Hockey League champion Stouffville Spirit, the Superior International Junior Hockey League champion Wisconsin Wilderness, and the host Thunder Bay North Stars. The Thunderbirds opened Tuesday against Wisconsin, face Thunder Bay Wednes- day and close out the round robin against Stouffville on Thursday. The second and third place teams play a semifinal on Friday, with the winner getting the first place team in Saturday’s final. “This group, we set a goal that the Dudley Hewitt was within reach for us if we played our game and worked hard,” said Barclay. “I think we deserved to win this league. Our goal now is to keep going hard and keep building and getting better.” When the hockey run finally does come to an end, Barclay isn’t sure where his next stop will be. He’s keeping the lines of communica- tion open with some NCAA and CIS schools, trying to determine what’s best for his future. SuBmitted pHoto SAULT STE.

Advancing to Sunday’s playoff round against the best juvenile teams in the GTHL and OMHA, the Knights played a strong game in a 2-1 victory over the host Toron- to East Enders in the semifi- nals, but a bad third period proved to be their demise in the final, falling 9-3 to the Humberview Huskies after entering the final period down just 3-2. For Jacques Tremblay, who has spent the past six seasons on the bench with the juvenile program, three as trainer and the past three as head coach, losing in the final was a tough way to go out. He has decided not to return next season, opening up some time to watch his son, Daniel, play hockey at Mercyhurst College. Trem- blay is turning over the reins to assistants Tyler Ritchie and Stephen Budai. “It’s emotional,” said Trem- blay, voice cracking on the phone as he paused to har- ness his emotions. “I’m very proud of my veterans. They showed leadership all year long. They followed the tra- dition of Ajax hockey. “There’s lots of fantastic memories for them and for me.” The five-team tournament got off to a good start for the Knights, who beat Stouffville 4-1 in the round robin open- er, but allowed four power- play goals in a 5-4 loss to Mis- sissauga in the second game of the opening day. The sec- ond day didn’t go so well, losing by 4-1 scores to both Toronto and Humberview. Getting the matchup he wanted in the semifinal against Toronto, Tremblay watched his team score a pair of power-play goals in the second to go up 2-0, but Toronto scored with seven minutes left in the game to HocKey One bad period costs Ajax Knights OHF repeat make it interesting. In the championship game against Humberview, the Knights were up 1-0 after the first, but down 3-2 through two periods. When they went down 4-2 with about seven minutes left in the game, it all came apart. “At that point, it unravelled. We became very undisci- plined,” said Tremblay. A five-minute cross-check- ing penalty and another for holding to the Knights result- ed in three power-play goals by Humberview, putting the game out of reach. “The team delivered a bit more than I expected,” said Tremblay about the past season. “Reaching the final against Humberview, hav- ing the OMHA champion facing the GTHL champion, us potentially repeating. We were touching it, after two periods the score was 3-2. With seven minutes left I was still in the game. “It was very close, which makes it difficult to swallow.” Tremblay also noted the tremendous fan support the team received, with an over- whelming majority from Ajax in the stands for the champi- onship game.
