On April 28 the 7th Pickering Scouts were at Dunbarton High School to collect televisions, printers, computers and parapher- nalia, phones, stereos, cameras and even plastics such as bread and milk tags as part of an E-waste Blitz. “There’s a lot of stuff in basements that’s broken or obsolete and people don’t know where to go to get rid of it,” said Al Harris, group commissioner for 7th Pickering Scouts. “It’s nice because it helps us purchase equipment and reduce camp fees and it’s good for the community.” The program started in the summer of 2010 after Mr. Harris watched a news program about an electronics recycling com- pany running at one-third capacity due to a lack of product. From there he formed a partnership with Target Recycling in Ajax, with proceeds from e-waste collected by the Scouts going back into the program.

And they came immediately after the quick- est 24 seconds he’d ever experienced. The Durham police constable is being credited with saving the life of a Whitby infant who choked and stopped breathing Friday afternoon. The officer’s quick and calm response, combined with a number of other favourable circumstances, averted tragedy, reporters gathered at police head- quarters Wednesday heard. “I just kept saying, ‘Cry, little guy’,” a beam- ing Const. Handscomb said. “I didn’t panic. I didn’t freeze up.” Const. Handscomb, 25, was on patrol in Whitby at about 4 p.m. Friday when a 911 call was placed from a home in the vicin- ity of Dundas and Annes streets. The five- week-old boy had choked and stopped breathing, he said. As it happened the officer was nearby -- “I was literally 24 seconds away from the house,” he said -- and he was on scene almost immediately, sprinting from his cruiser to the house, where the child’s mother was trying to administer CPR with the help of an emergency operator. He found the infant still and “purple. “My training kicked in,” Const. Hand- scomb said. He gently massaged the infant’s chest, using two fingers. Remarkably, the officer had attended CPR refresher training earlier in the day, practising on an infant- sized mannequin. For two long minutes he continued the procedure. “Then he let out a little cry, and I could feel a pulse,” Const. Handscomb said. “That was the most relieving moment I’ve ever felt.” The cop cradled and rocked the child, intent on keeping him breathing. As para- medics spilled through the door he kept hold of the boy and walked him to a waiting ambulance. “I wasn’t letting that baby go,” he said. The boy, a twin, was taken to hospital as a precaution and released with a posi- tive prognosis. His parents weren’t up to attending Wednesday’s media briefing but have expressed their appreciation for the officer’s efforts. Sergeant Nancy van Rooy noted that while Const. Handscomb performed admi- rably, he wasn’t alone. She commended police communications staffers Jen Allbon and Stacey Spriggs, who identified Const. Handscomb as the cop nearest the house and got him on scene so quickly. “They too are just as heroic,” Sgt. van Rooy said. With three years on the job, Const. Hand- scomb, who grew up in Whitby, has had some thrilling moments, but none that come close to last Friday, he said. He’s been receiving kudos from fellow cops in Dur- ham and beyond. “It’s one of those moments that make you proud to put on the uniform every day and go out there,” he said. The officer, who does not have kids of his own, said he’s looking forward to a reunion with the boy’s family. “I’m going to go back and visit with him, if that’s OK with them,” he said. “And, hopefully, watch him grow up.” HErOIsM Durham cop’s quick, calm response saved infant ryan pFEIFFEr / METrOLand WHITBY -- Adam Handscomb, a con- stable with the Durham Regional Police Services, laughed as he spoke to media about helping to save a child’s life during a call on April 27.LOOKINSIDE FOOD DRIVE DONATION BAG today’s newspaper for your In partnership with: pickeringtowncentre.com 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 • Ma y 3 , 2 0 1 2 4 AP Pickering,ON - Simply by rolling up the rim of her hot drink cup in a Pickering Tim Hortons, Diane Fleming of To ronto is a new owner of a 2012 To yota Camry Hybrid, a grand price in this year’s RRRoll up the Rim toWin®contest atTim Hortons. “Havingagrandprizewinneratour restaurantisexciting forourguests,teammembersandthecommunity,”said Richard CooperTim Hortons restaurant owner.“Our guests are happy when they win a donut or a coffee,so you can imagine how thrilling it is when someone rolls up the rim and realizes they’ve won a new vehicle!” During the contest, guests who purchase a small, medium, large or extra large hot beverage at Tim Hortons, have a chance to win one of 40 Grand Prizes of the 2012 To yota Camry Hybrid, 100 Panasonic 3DTV packages,1000 Coleman Camping packages, 5000 Panasonic digital cameras, 25,000 $100 Tim Cards and more than 47 million food prizes.

Group to visit businesses, meet with Chinese dignitaries Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A six-person delegation from Durham will set off for China on Friday, with the goal of bringing home foreign investment leads. The Region of Durham is sending Chairman Roger Anderson, CAO Garry Cubitt and Kathy Weiss, director of economic development and tourism. They will be joined by local education leaders -- UOIT president Dr. Tim McTiernan, Durham College president Don Lovisa and UOIT associate provost Michael Owen. Taxpayers will be footing the bill for $18,000, the cost of sending the three Region of Durham officials. The group will make stops in Changping, Zibo and Hangzhou before returning May 13. Ms. Weiss says there are “incredible opportunities” for partnerships, pointing to a Chinese truck manufac- turer that is interested in Durham’s Automotive Centre of Excellence. “This is something we have needed to do for a long time,” she says of the decision to start visit- ing other countries to showcase Durham’s investment potential. “Other communities have been in China for awhile now, we need to catch up.” The itinerary includes meetings with local mayors and politicians, the signing of various friendship agree- ments and memorandums and visits to businesses with the potential to invest in Durham. The China trip is part of a $1.3 million, three-year plan to bring investment to Durham. The initiative includes refreshing the Region’s brand- ing, putting ads in American newspapers and design- ing new marketing materials. Business development missions are also key, with $90,000 earmarked in 2012, 2013 and 2014 to send Region staff and politicians to other countries.

CELEBRATENURSINGWEEKMONTH Goods needed for charitable event DURHAM -- Durham residents are being asked to declutter for a good cause this spring. On May 12 Royal LePage offices across Canada will host the National Garage Sale for Shelter, a one-day charitable event to support women’s shelters and end family violence. Gently used items can be dropped off at Durham’s two par- ticipating locations until May 11 -- Royal LePage Frank Real Estate at 200 Dundas St. E. in Whitby and Royal LePage Con- nect Realty at 335 Bayly St. W. in Ajax. The garage sale starts at both locations at 8 a.m. on May 12. Royal LePage covers the costs associat- ed with the event so 100 per cent of funds raised go directly to the cause. Since 2009 the shelter foundation has raised more than $850,000 to support women and children who have experi- enced family violence. Statistics show more than half of women in Canada will experience abuse in their lifetime and more than 360,000 children are exposed to family violence each year.

The Scouts helped out with residents’ spring cleaning this year as they con- ducted an e-waste collection blitz last weekend. Last Saturday, the Seventh Pickering Venturers joined forces with the Dun- barton High School Enviro Club for an e-waste collection at Dunbarton’s south campus. Also at that collection event, the group collected scrap metal includ- ing tools, appliances, car batteries, beer and liquor bottles, pop cans and plastic milk and bread tags. On Saturday, the Second Pickering Scouts were collecting e-waste at Wil- liam Dunbar Public School and on April 29 the Ninth Pickering Scout Group was in action at 1614 Major Oaks Rd. The amount of e-waste they collected was astonishing: 28 skids’ worth at Dun- barton and 29 skids at William Dunbar. Items like computer monitors and printers used to end up in landfills, so the e-waste collection events are a great way to help the environment by ensur- ing these items are properly disposed of. Never mind clearing space in the basement or the garage for grateful resi- dents. “There’s a lot of stuff in basements that’s broken or obsolete and people don’t know where to go to get rid of it,” said Al Harris, group commissioner for 7th Pickering Scouts. “It’s nice because it helps us purchase equipment and reduce camp fees and it’s good for the community.” Take it from Debbie Cuciurean, who showed up with several TVs that had been in her basement for more than two decades. “I think it’s fabulous,” she said. “It’s spring and everyone’s getting rid of stuff but you can’t put it in the garbage any more. This way it’s helping out the Scout troops and it’s convenient for me.” Apart from teaching the Scouts a les- son in environmental stewardship, the weekend blitz meant money for them as well: the Scouts are paid per metric tonne of waste collected, with the recent proceeds going to help them purchase new tents. Mr. Harris got the Scouts involved in the creative fundraiser after hearing about an electronics recycling compa- ny running at one-third capacity due to a lack of product. He formed a partner- ship with Target Recycling in Ajax. And the Scouts aren’t finished yet: they’re hosting a fundraising car wash, barbecue, bake sale and e-waste collec- tion on May 26 at Amberlea Presbyterian Church at 1820 Whites Rd. in Pickering. There are rules to using Facebook, but they’re not posted anywhere on the hugely popular site. Two doctoral students from Arizona State University recently conducted a study on the rules of maintaining friendships on Facebook and while many of them are com- mon sense items, for folks who are new to the site or infrequent users the rules may prove helpful. The researchers relied on data from focus groups and questionnaires to come up with a list of 36 unwritten rules for socializing on Facebook. The results were published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relation- ships. One that jumped out at me is that we should wish our good friends happy birth- day in a manner other than Facebook. Let’s face it, we’ve all been caught unaware by Facebook birthday notifications for friends and in a rush dashed off a quick note on their Facebook page. And that’s fine for casual acquaintances, but for friendships we truly value a paper birthday card, a phone call or a lunch date all say we care more than a five-second post from a smartphone. Users are also advised that they should share big news with friends before posting it on Facebook. No one wants to find out a family member is getting married through a wall posting. It’s hurtful and makes you feel like you’re out of the loop and not impor- tant enough to call with big news. Many of the rules surround the image peo- ple project on Facebook and it includes not posting anything that would hurt a friend’s image, relationships or career. In a related rule, people should not post unflattering images of their Facebook friends. This is particularly good advice. Some of us keep our work lives and per- sonal lives separate on Facebook, some of us don’t. And as funny as it can be to post a drunken, revealing or rude photo on Face- book, it may come back to harm a friend. A key rule is that deleted comments or photo tags should not be re-posted. On the flip side, another rule is that users should immediately delete or block anyone who posts something that compromises their image. Another interesting rule is that private messages, wall posts, photo comments and chat should only be directed at people a user is friends with offline. Surprisingly, the rules also say that Facebook messages should be replied to immediately. This expectation seems excessive to me as not everyone is connected to Facebook at all times during the day, and indeed there are folks who only check their pages once a day or once a week. But enough people in the researchers’ survey ranked this as important enough to make it one of the top rules. Facebook users should also expect an immediate response when they post some- thing online and that says to me people should be careful with what they post as there are no take-backs once it’s on the site. Perhaps the most important rule is that to maintain a good friendship, we have to communicate offline too. If I find all my interactions with a friend are on Facebook, it’s a sign that it’s time to work a little harder on that friendship or let it go. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

And another one along the edge of the drive. That means a wave of ground- feeders moved in overnight, break- ing their long, tiring migration for a breakfast stop in Durham Region. And giving a heads-up that, right behind them, wood warblers will be arriving to fill trees everywhere with colour and song. So drop what you’re doing, grab binoculars and get out there. Before leaves unfurl you can get good views of some of the most exquisitely garbed songbirds on the planet as they return from the tropics, birds that will be much harder to spot when tree cano- pies close in. My hermit thrushes may have spent the winter in Gua- temala, feeding in a forest clear- ing. Nashville warblers soon to be gleaning insects in branches above them may have wintered in Guatemala as well. But beautiful Blackburnians, with their neon- orange throats and bold black rac- ing stripes, might have wintered anywhere from Guatemala to cen- tral Peru. Aptly named chestnut-sided warblers may be flying home from Panama, and richly cream-and- chestnut-coloured bay-breasteds coming all the way from Colom- bia or Venezuela. Blackpolls are among the last warblers to move through Durham because they migrate the farthest, some all the way from Chile. They also nest farthest north. A lot of these tiny jewel-toned birds fly long dis- tances across water, populating many Caribbean islands in winter months. Yellow warblers make it to the 3,000 islands of the Bahamas. Black-throated greens spread through the Greater Antilles, as do yellow-rumped warblers. Some Parulas winter as far away as Bar- bados, and palm warblers make it to Bermuda. Black-throated blues and Cape Mays can be found throughout the West Indies. Many warblers funnel down through Mexico to the forests of Central America, Wilson’s, mourn- ing, and common yellowthroats among them. Different species have their own particular foraging niche, so as not to compete over food. Oven- birds and mourning warblers feed on forest floors in Venezuela and Colombia, northern waterthrush- es in Ecuador, Peru and the Gui- anas. Blue-winged and golden-winged warblers, truly stunning birds, are closely related, feeding in brushy second-growth habitat. Interestingly, the former winter from Mexico to Panama, while the latter move on as far as Colombia and Venezuela. Black-and-white warblers, which feed on trunks and branches, never out among the twigs, have a winter range spreading through Mexico and Central America to Venezuela and Ecuador, and across the West Indies. American redstarts can be found foraging in forest understo- ries from Cuba, Puerto Rico and Mexico to northern Peru. And our own beloved Canada warblers, with their elegant black necklaces set off against their gold- en throats, return from as far away as central Peru.

MARGARET CARNEY May is Responsible Pet Ownership month KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Being a responsible pet owner is much more than sim- ply bringing home a pet. In many municipalities across Ontario, May is a month that reminds pet owners of their many responsibilities, thanks to an ini- tiative by the Association of Ani- mal Shelter Administrators of Ontario. “The City has declared the month as Responsible Pet Own- ership month,” says Lindsey Narr- away, supervisor of Pickering Ani- mal Services (PAS). Pickering is participating in a number of activities through- out the month to promote owner responsibility. On Saturday, May 5, the City of Pickering, PAS and the Durham Region Health Department are hosting a rabies and microchip clinic at PJ’s Pets in the Pickering Town Centre, 1355 Kingston Rd. from noon to 6 p.m. Legally, all cats and dogs must be vaccinated against rabies, and having pets microchipped can help bring them home if they get lost. The rabies shot will cost $25 and it’s $25 for the microchip. Pets must be on a leash or in a carrier. “Regular vaccine prices could be as high as $83,” says Ms. Narr- away. On May 6 the City is partici- pating in the PetSmart Charities Adopt-A-Thon, along with other rescue groups in the area. It’s hap- pening across North America, so make sure to check out your local PetSmart from May 4 to 6 if you’re interested and prepared to adopt a pet. The Pickering location is at 1899 Brock Rd. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 12, PAS will partner with Pet Valu at 705 Kingston Rd. The compa- ny’s pet nutritionist, Dr. Dave Sum- mers, will be on hand to answer any pet nutrition questions. On May 26, staff at PAS will show off Pickering’s new animal shelter in Brougham with an open house. It’s located at 1688 Hwy. 7. The shelter will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. “Throughout the month all the animal services officers will be out in the community looking for peo- ple being responsible pet owners,” says Ms. Narraway, adding they’ll be handing out treats and toys to dogs when their owners demon- strate good pet responsibility. They’ll also promote the impor- tance of getting pets licensed. It’s a municipal law and another way to help bring pets home if they get lost. If your pet is spayed or neu- tered, a licence costs $15. If not, the cost can go up to $50. Ms. Narraway is encouraging pet owners to ‘like’ the Facebook page by visiting facebook.com/ RPOmonth. PICKERING -- Pickering Animal Services is promoting Pet Ownership Responsibility Month throughout May. Walking dogs on a leash unless in an off-leash designated area is one way pet owners can act responsibly. Pet ownership tips • Get your pet spayed or neutered, microchipped and licensed • Keep cats indoors and dogs on leashes • Take your pet to the vet annually • Supply high-quality food and ensure water is available • Seek help for behavioural prob- lems; they can often easily be fixed with the help of an expert • Take your dog to obedience classes • Provide proper grooming • Clean up after your dog • Provide adequate exercise • Be prepared for emergency med- ical costs Take care of your pets 1445 Harmony Rd./Taunton E., Oshawa (Grooming Available)905-725-9225 300 Taunton Rd./Ritson Rd.,Oshawa905-433-5564 1 Warren Ave., Oshawa905-571-6235 TM WHITBY -- Bronco is a four-year- old Lab-husky cross.

It’s help- ing not only the environment but also the community and putting money in groups’ pockets.” For the scouts involved, it’s a lesson in environmentalism and a boon for future camping trips. Funds from their recent collection will go towards purchasing new tents. “It’s been pretty successful, there are lots of electronics here,” said venturer James Nishikawa, gesturing to about six skids of electronics that had been col- lected by 10 a.m. “People are pretty happy about getting rid of stuff, it keeps it out of their base- ment.” Debbie Cuciurean, who came by with several TVs that had been in her basement for more than 20 years, agreed. “I think it’s fabulous,” she said. “It’s spring and every- one’s getting rid of stuff but you can’t put it in the garbage any- more. This way it’s helping out the Scout troops and it’s convenient for me.” Grant Sawyer took the opportunity to clean out his garage, dropping off a car battery that had been sitting around since December and a few old cell- phones. “Everybody wins,” he said. “It’s a good cause, and hopefully it makes people realize that throwing stuff on the side of the road isn’t a good idea.” For more information www.durham.ca/waste 905-579-5264 or 1-800-667-5671 waste@durham.ca Non-perishable food items for the local food bank will be collected at this event.

Local non-profit and charity groups nomi- nated volunteers for the Ontario Volunteer Service Awards and 350 Durham residents were honoured at ceremonies held in Oshawa on April 16 and 17. Blackstock resident Hazel Coates was rec- ognized both nights for her 60 years of volun- teer work with the Shirley Women’s Institute and 50 years with the auxiliary for Lakeridge Health Port Perry. “It was a very impressive ceremony and quite a honour to be nominated to get my 60-year pin and 50-year pin,” said Ms. Coates. In the past she has served as the secretary for the auxiliary and president for the Wom- en’s Institute and she currently serves as the group’s secretary. She got involved with the auxiliary because it was looking for representatives from local organizations. “I enjoy helping with fundraisers to get money to buy the stuff and quite a few years ago we used to have membership teas and bazaars and all sorts of things to raise money,” she said, adding that current fundraisers include events such as the annual Polar Bear Plunge. And although she’s happy to help out the day of the event, Ms. Coates has no intention of ever taking the plunge herself. She said over the years the Shirley Women’s Institute has supported such causes as paint- ing white lines on highways, laws requir- ing vehicles to stop for school buses and the requirement that bread for sale be bagged. “The institute was started by Adelaide Hoodless who lost her baby by drinking unpasteurized milk,” said Ms. Coates. These days they can be found in the com- munity doing activities like preparing lunch for a local sale. Her reasons for volunteering are simple. “(It’s) the people and it gives you a good feeling to help someone.” Muriel Wooten of Blackstock also received a pin for her work with the Shirley Women’s Institute for her 50 years of service. Other long-time volunteers included David Glazier of Bowmanville, who received a 40-year pin for his work with the Oshawa Church Hockey League, and Oshawa’s Frank Sobil, who has volunteered with the Oshawa Kicks Soccer Club for 40 years as well. Twenty-four people received pins for 30 years of volunteer service. vieW the photo gallery @ durhamregion.com Hundreds of Durham volunteers recognized at awards ceremony Ryan PfeiffeR PhotoS / metRoland OSHAWA -- Hundreds of Durham residents who volunteer in the community were honoured with the Ontario volunteer Service Award.

Nope – open your fridge. It’s time to consider a mask made of eggs as part of your beauty routine. For centuries egg-yolk oil has been used for hair and skincare. Eggs are supposed to actually help hair grow, heal burns with magical rapidity and even act as a sunscreen. No yolk, the versatile egg could help you crack the secret of good skin (sorry!). The thing about eggs is that they have components that are close to those in human skin. The composition of fatty acids in eggs is close to that of human blood lipids. Oleic acid is present at about 37.5 per cent with almost as much palmitic acid (35.7 per cent). And there are other elements that make eggs an antioxidant powerhouse. Lecithin is a major component. This is an antioxidant and may also make egg a good team player in a jar of cosmetic cream since it acts as an emulsifier and humectant. Two other key nutrients of an egg are choline and lutein. Choline is a member of the B vitamin family, helps make up fatty portions of cell membranes and is essential for healthy skin-cell functioning. Choline also helps your body maintain proper levels of other B vitamins. Your skin needs B vitamins to manufacture collagen and elastin, to keep the skin firm and smooth. Lutein may prove to be an indispensible source of skin protection. According to a Harvard research team, it may have the potential to act as a preventative agent against UVB-induced skin cancer and skin damage. Research on lutein has also been undertaken by the University of Naples in Italy. The study involved female Italians aged 25 to 50 who were given a topical formulation and an oral supplement of lutein each day over a 12-week period. Apparently, hydration increased by 60 per cent, elasticity by 20 per cent, superficial skin lipids by 50 per cent and lipid oxidation was seen to decrease by 55 per cent. Everyone knows that eggs have cholesterol and this is also useful because the skin’s natural lipid barrier has cholesterol, which helps maintain proper functioning in the epidermis by retaining moisture levels and regulating cell activity. It works to strengthen the outer structure of the skin and protect it from dehydration. A study from 2011 found that eggs have an impressive effect on treating burned and wounded skin, without scar tissue. The researchers seemed to be mystified as to how, concluding: “Although the egg yolk has many vital nutrients, its exact mechanism in healing process is unknown.” Egg yolk oil isn’t easy to come by, unless you live in Asia. In Japan, egg yolk from snapping turtles (of all things) are taken in oral supplement form (often with garlic). I haven’t come across egg oil in a potion or lotion (I’d love to hear from anyone who has), but there are anti-aging cosmetics with eggy elements such as cholesterol (Neo-Strata), lutein (Chella’s Master Protocol) Another option is to raid the fridge and go DIY. For inspiration, try Vivawoman’s mask with eggs and Chinese red wine. Marta Wohrle is the founder of Truth in Aging – see truthinaging.com.

The 95,000-square-mile Great Lakes complex of Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario hosts innumerous islands and 15,000 kilometres of shoreline that harbour forest wilderness and several major cities. There’s a small Canadian National Park (Point Pelee, the southernmost point of Canada) and a U.S. National Seashore (Pictured Rocks in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula). The scenery includes glacier-carved rocky outcroppings in Lake Superior, 600- foot sandstone dunes on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, and the wilderness of Georgian Bay off Lake Huron. The lakes are liner-linked to the Atlantic Ocean by the St. Lawrence Seaway, a deep- draft channel equipped with locks in the upper portion of the St. Lawrence River. Many small ports on the lakes have the atmosphere of New England fishing villages. There are historic forts and the Victorian Era mansions built by lumber barons at the turn of the 20th century. Maritime museum exhibits range from barques and schooners dating from the age-of-sail to bulk ore carriers. Duluth, Minn., is perched quietly on a steep bluff overlooking its harbour on the west coast of Lake Superior while such metropolitan skylines as Chicago, Cleveland and Toronto light up the night sky along their shores. Several cruise ships ply these waters, ranging from the 66-passenger turn-of-the- century-riverboat-style Canadian Empress to the well-known former Cruise West vessel, the 138- passenger Yorktown, to the 97-passenger and low-profile (to pass under bridges) river-cruise craft of Blount Small Ship Adventures. Itineraries generally range from eight to 12 days. They travel between Saguenay on the St. Lawrence, Toronto on Lake Ontario, and Duluth. Port calls can include Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City, as well as numerous smaller communities. At the fringes of the season, re-position voyages take some of these craft along the St. Lawrence to or from the New England coast and points south. Great Lakes cruising is not new. In fact, the popular concept of a seven-day voyage reportedly began on these waters in 1894- 95 with the vessels North West and North Land, whose motto was, “In all the world, no trip like this.” Their journeys between Buffalo and Duluth or Chicago took a week. One of the most popular stops was Mackinac Island, where lakes Huron and Michigan meet. In succeeding years, U.S. and Canadian ships steamed these waters and entertained passengers with live bands and radio broadcasts from on board. In the early to mid-20th century, one could sail on side- wheel paddle steamers featuring suites and private balconies, decades before such amenities appeared on cruise ships. An advertisement from those early days offered weekly cruises from Chicago, Buffalo, Detroit, Cleveland, Duluth or Georgian Bay, covering more than 2,000 miles on four Great Lakes and including berth and meals for $40. A 12-day voyage of 3,600 miles went for $75. Rates have changed since then. The Yorktown’s Great Lakes summer cruises this year begin June 5 with a 12- day voyage from Montreal through the St. Lawrence Seaway and Thousand Islands to Toronto, along the Welland Canal past Niagara Falls to Point Pelee National Park and Lake Huron, Sault Ste. Marie and the Soo Locks to Lake Superior, then back to Mackinac Island and down Lake Michigan to Chicago. Rates begin at $5,296 (all prices U.S.). You can take the Yorktown on a series of eight-day cruises between mid-June and late August between Chicago and Detroit for rates beginning at $3,995. There’s also a 12-day voyage from Detroit to Duluth departing July 21, and an 11-day Duluth-to- Detroit departure Aug. 1. Rates begin at $4,995. For the final cruise of the season, rates begin at $3,995 for an eight-day trip departing from Detroit for Quebec City. From there, the ship sails on to the Atlantic Ocean and points south on the U.S. mainland. The Blount Small Ships Adventures’ 96-passenger Grande Mariner offers five itineraries covering eight-, nine- or 10 days on the lakes from early June to late August for rates beginning at $3,189. The line’s 68-passenger Niagara Prince will ply Lake Michigan waters with two eight-day itineraries Aug. 9-16 and 18-25 for rates beginning at $2,359. In September, the Blount’s 96-passenger Grande Caribe and Grande Mariner will sail between New York City and Canada’s Saguenay on the St. Lawrence on a 13- day itinerary that includes the Quebec City, Montreal and the eastern end of Lake Ontario. Rates begin at $3,999. Also at the eastern end of Lake Ontario, St. Lawrence Cruise Lines’ Canadian Empress will journey from June to October through the Thousand Islands and the St. Lawrence River on three-, five- and six- night cruises between Kingston, Ont., and Montreal, Ottawa or Quebec City. Rates start at $1,197. For more information on all these cruises, go to greatlakescruising.com.

After working his way through the qualification process that included winning at his own Ajax centre, then the zone round in Durham Region, and finally the qualifier in Brantford, Humphrey isn’t sure how he will fare against the top bowlers in his age catego- ry from coast to coast. “I don’t really know because I have never bowled against oth- ers from different provinces, so I don’t know if I will be good or bad,” he says. His time on the lanes began at the age of eight, after tagging along with his dad a number of times. He joined the Ajax youth program where he bowls once a week. “My dad bowled 10-pin and we’d always go watch when we were younger, so I tried five-pin because 10-pin balls are too heavy for little kids,” he recalls. This weekend’s nationals will include both boys and girls com- peting in singles and team com- petitions. JAson liebregts / MetrolAnd AJAX -- Nicholas Humphrey will be competing at the YBC National Championships for 5-pin bowling in St. John’s, Newfoundland. HocKey Curveball thrown at Barclay and teammates Head coach, assistant suspended one week prior to national championships brAd Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com SAULT STE. MARIE -- As Kris Bar- clay and his Soo Thunderbirds prepare for the biggest tourna- ment of their lives, the hockey club has been thrown a curve- ball. The team learned on Friday that its head coach, Preston Mizzi, and assistant coach Jamie Hender- son were suspended indefinitely by the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League for alcohol-relat- ed incidents that took place on the team bus, and have been replaced by a former coach, Zol- tan Kovacs. Kovacs will be behind the bench when the Thunder- birds open play at the Royal Bank Cup national Jr. A championships on Saturday in Humboldt, Sas- katchewan. The tournament runs May 5-13. “The mood in the room is that everyone has to move on,” says Barclay, an Ajax resident who was traded to the Soo from the Pickering Panthers at the Janu- ary trade deadline. “You have to put the jersey back on, tie your skates up and get back out there and play the game.” The two incidents investigated by the league included a return bus ride from North Bay, and another from the Dudley Hewitt Cup in Thunder Bay, where the Thunderbirds upset the Stouffville Spirit in the championship game, earning the right to advance to the Royal Bank Cup. Barclay, a defenceman, says that the team practised together on Thursday and everything was fine, but on Friday, the story broke in the local newspaper about the suspensions. The team didn’t have any ice on Friday or Saturday due to a huge cancer fundraising tournament in the area, but when they arrived for practice Sunday, team officials held a meeting with the players, introducing the new coach. “I liked our coaches a lot,” says Barclay of playing for Mizzi and Henderson. “Jamie Henderson and Preston Mizzi were both incredible coaches. They knew our bench very well and used our bench very well. They also knew the other teams very well. They did a lot of homework. They were really good at what they did and they were good at keeping us motivated.” While the timing of changing the head coach couldn’t come at a worse time, Barclay says the tran- sition has been relatively smooth considering the circumstances. Kovacs comes to the team with an impressive resume, having coached the Thunderbirds previ- ously, and he also has some OHL experience. “I think he’s a great coach and knows the game really well,” says Barclay of first impressions. “It’s unfortunate timing, but after hav- ing a couple of practices with him you can tell he knows the game really well.” Barclay also adds that the com- munity is still behind the team, as he and a couple of other play- ers attended a pep rally at an ele- mentary school on Monday, and that residents and business own- ers often pass along best wish- es to the players, who are recog- nized around town because of their playoff beards. The team will flies out today, with games against the Penticton Vees (Saturday), Portage Terri- ers (Sunday), Humboldt Broncos (Tuesday) and Woodstock Slam- mers (Thursday). The top four make it to semifinals on Saturday, May 12, with the winners meeting the following day. 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 • Ma y 3 , 2 0 1 2 18 AP 2012 OUTLANDER2012 RVR2012 LANCER SE Test DriveTheEVO ALL 2012 VEHICLESCOME WITH OUR /160,000 Km Warranty ** Check theLancer SE AWD New-Affordable Fun Check theLancer SE AWD New-Affordable Fun DURHAM’S EXCLUSIVE SOURCE FOR MITSUBISHI SALES &SERVICE1520 Dundas St. E., Whitby |905-430-2351 |1-877-728-8766 *O.A.C.

The team played eight games over four days to come out on top of the McCarthy Division. In the opening game against West Ferris, Ajax center Nicole Wing got the team started with a goal. West Ferris tied it before the end of the period on a play that saw Ajax goalie Michelle Marquez down for several minutes. West Ferris pulled ahead early in the second period, but Ajax came back on goals by Kate Gatley and Kristin Tonack, taking Ajax to a 3-2 victory. In the afternoon game against Elora-Fergus, Ajax came away with a 6–4 win. After ending the first day with- out losing a game, Ajax was look- ing good, but day two started with a 3–1 loss to Nepean. Their second game of the day was against local rival Whitby. Ajax lost their first game in tournament play against Whitby this year by a score of 4–2. The next morning the girls played Newmarket and lost that game by a score of 2-1. The last round robin game was against Richmond Hill and the teams were tied through two peri- ods. The game-winning goal was scored by Ajax late in the third giv- ing them a 3-2 win. Ajax started slow in the semifinal game against Whitby and allowed a goal only 25 seconds into the game. The team settled down with some offensive pressure until Ajax scored to even things. With less than two minutes left in the game, Ajax netted the go-ahead goal and was set to play for the gold medal. Their opponents would be New- market, a team they had previous- ly lost to. Power-play goals came to both teams as they kept the score tied through most of the game. It wasn’t until a fluke goal by Nicole Wing was scored that Ajax picked up their game to win the gold medal.

The junior golfers competed in three 36-hole tournaments, playing all of the very challeng- ing courses at the Legends Golf Resort. The juniors competed individually as well as by team. The players were put into teams named after NCAA schools and the winning team was the Florida State Seminoles which consisted of Mackenzie Dasti, Aidan Dun- phy, Erik Smith, Ryan Page and Nicholas Oosterhof. The over- all champion for the week was Mathew Iceton of the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club, shooting a low round 69 on the final day of competition. The bantam champion with a low round of 78 on the final day of competition was Ryan Page, also from the Oshawa Golf and Curl- ing Club. Danielle Sawyer was recognized as the week’s most improved golf- er.
