But that wasn’t the case six years ago when the Owen Sound man was being treated at Lakeridge Health Oshawa for a genetic autoimmune deficiency that caused his liver to fail. Mr. Henderson is sharing his story to help Lakeridge Health’s organ donor regis- tration drive. Though the hospital is not a designated transplant centre, it is a dona- tion centre and treats patients who are waiting for transplants. Mr. Henderson was on the waiting list for a year. His daughter Lori-Ann Gervais was a registered nurse at Oshawa hospital at the time and now she’s a patient care special- ist. She recalls watching her father dete- riorate from a healthy man in his 50s to someone who required a three-month stay at the Oshawa hospital where he received daily treatments. “He wasn’t doing very well at all,” she said. Oshawa registered nurse Andrea Lawson was taking care of Mr. Henderson on Can- ada Day in 2006 when he was complaining of not feeling well. Ms. Lawson noticed that Mr. Henderson hadn’t had his blood work done and con- tacted his doctor to have the tests ordered. The results showed high potassium levels due to his liver’s inability to filter properly. She got Mr. Henderson on the appropri- ate medication to lower the potassium lev- els and that was a stroke of good luck. “When all this was going on, I got a call from London saying they had a donor,” said Ms. Lawson. “I went immediately to his room and told him and I can still remember the look on his face.” It was happiness and relief. Mr. Hender- son was transported to London by ambu- lance, with another Oshawa nurse at his side, where he had the 12-hour transplant surgery. If Ms. Lawson hadn’t taken action and low- ered Mr. Henderson’s potassium level, he could have arrived in London unfit for the surgery. “It was kind of a fluke that I did that, actu- ally,” said Ms. Lawson. Mr. Henderson’s family calls it fate. “There reason we were so lucky is because he was so well cared for here,” said Ms. Gervais. Mr. Henderson also has high praise for Dr. Elio Pavone, the gastroenterologist who treated him at Lakeridge. It took Mr. Henderson about a year to get back to his former self and now he keeps active coaching hockey. “In the summer time I probably bike 30 kilometres probably three times a week,” he said. To create more success stories like Mr. Henderson’s, Lakeridge Health has part- nered with the Trillium Gift of Life Net- work. Hospital staff must now call the organization after each death to assess the person’s suitability to be an organ donor. If they are suitable, then Trillium and Lak- eridge Health staff have a conversation with the family. Ms. Lawson recalls a recent case a couple of weeks ago. “The husband said it wasn’t something they’d talked about and he said no.” That’s why it’s important to register as a donor so families know what a person’s wishes are. People can do so by visiting beadonor.ca/lakeridgehealth. Ms. Gervais points out having a signed organ donor card doesn’t mean a person is in the donor database and they should register if they want to make a difference in someone’s life. “Everybody should donate,” said Mr. Henderson as he and his family were over- whelmed with emotion. “I think that’s the message, is it gives peo- ple the opportunity to have a full life,” said Ms. Gervais.

Officials say trip was a success Jillian FOllert jfollert@durhamrgion.com DURHAM -- A recent trip to China to drum up investment potential for Durham is being described as “a huge success”. Since returning, Region staff says it hasre- ceived three potential business proposals -- one for a food processing operation, one for a joint research and development lab with UOIT and one for a tourism investment. A group from the Beijing consulate plans to bring tourism investors to Durham in June. “It was better than I ever expected,” says Kathy Weiss, the Region of Durham's direc- tor of economic development and tourism. “We’re getting results already ... the next step is keeping that communication going.” A six-person local delegation was in China from May 4 to 13 and made stops in Chang- ping, Zibo, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Representing the Region on the trip were Chairman Roger Anderson, CAO Garry Cubitt and Ms. Weiss. They were joined by UOIT president Dr. Tim McTiernan, Dur- ham College president Don Lovisa and UOIT associate provost Michael Owen. The Region’s representatives signed friend- ship agreements with Changping and Zibo. Durham is the first Canadian municipality to sign with Zibo, a large city of about four million people in Shadong province. Mr. Anderson said the agreements are a key first step towards building a lasting rap- port with China. “They’re a lot like us, they want to get to know the people they’re deal- ing with and build that trust and that rela- tionship,” he said. “I think things look very promising, we made great strides.” The local delegation provided Chinese contacts with a list of 12 projects in Durham that are available for investment includ- ing the Oshawa waterfront, energy park in Clarington, downtown Oshawa hotel and a potential resort property in Beaverton. The local group also toured three com- panies in China: T-King Automobile Ltd., which assembles trucks and electric vehi- cles; Lilysoft International, one of the first software research and development enter- prises in China; and Zibo Guoli New Power Source Technology, a manufacturer of large power capacitor batteries. UOIT signed memorandums of under- standing with two Chinese universities, while Durham College signed with Zibo Vocational Institute, Yuhang Liangzhu Voca- tional School, Nanjin Edu Institution and Chien-Shiung Institute of Technology. The documents are aimed at helping the local schools increase the number of Chi- nese students they recruit, while helping China meet a growing demand for students trained in Canada. Taxpayers foot the bill for $18,000 for the trip, the cost of sending the three Region of Durham officials. Regional council has ear- marked $1.3 million over three years to bring investment to Durham through re-branding, advertising, new marketing materials and “business development missions”.

DURHAM -- The Region of Durham and Durham Safe- ty on Wheels Coalition are reminding local residents to wear a helmet when cycling, in-line skating, skateboard- ing or riding a scooter this summer. Information will be available at the Durham Bicycle Fun and Safety Day on May 26 from noon to 3 p.m. at Kids Safety Village of Durham, 1129 Athol St. in Whitby. Experts will be on hand to show parents proper hel- met-fitting techniques. There will also be bike and gear inspections, sessions on cycling safety and the chance to win a new bike. A 2009 study shows three Durham residents visit an emergency room daily due to cycling injuries. SMARTRISK, a national organization that promotes injury prevention, recently reported hospital admis- sions for cycling injuries occur most frequently among young people under 20, with boys ages 10 to 14 hospital- ized most often. When helmets are worn properly, the risk of brain injury is reduced by 88 per cent and head injuries are reduced by 85 per cent.

Musical theatre routine leads to magical opportunity Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- One Pickering resident is getting ready to enjoy a magical summer after winning a Disney dance schol- arship. Bryanne Leslie, 12, will be singing, dancing and acting her way through several Disney pro- ductions during a dance schol- arship program this July. Bry- anne won the scholarship with a particularly strong musical theatre routine that saw her act- ing the part of Disney princess Belle, from the movie Beauty and the Beast, during the Star- catchers Dance Festival Com- petition, held in Richmond Hill in March. “I felt really happy because I felt like it was the best I ever did,” Bryanne said of her win- ning routine. The Grade 6 student, who takes classes in everything from acro to ballet to tap, spends up to 15 hours a week at the Denise Lester Dance Studio perfecting her craft. “I like the emotion in dancing most of all,” Bryanne explained, noting dance is something she’s always loved. “When I was little there’s vid- eos of me in a ballet costume making up my own dances in the kitchen. I always imagined myself dancing.” Denise Lester, who has been teaching Bryanne for about seven years, said she could tell the Starcatchers competition was different. “I think she enjoyed it more this year because her confi- dence is building, she’s not as nervous anymore,” she explained. “She’s a great actress and she did a great job, but she does a great job every time.” During the week-long Summer in L.A. Juniors Disney Intensive program, which begins July 9, Bryanne will train with profes- sional choreographers and per- form in parades and musical shows at California’s Disney- land. While she’s excited for the opportunity, Bryanne is also looking forward to meeting some Disney favourites. “I think the program will be a lot of fun, but I’m also look- ing forward to getting to eat lunch with all the characters,” she said, noting her favourite is Belle. Ms. Lester calls the scholar- ship a rare opportunity. “It’s a great opportunity to take classes she wouldn’t get here and train with teachers she wouldn’t normally have access to,” she explained. “She’ll be working with people in the business and it’s all about connections. Plus it’s Disney so you know it will be high quali- ty.” For Bryanne, it could be a stepping stone to her dream of a future on Broadway, but of course that will be after she attends Juilliard, and in addi- tion to her day job. “I call myself the dancing den- tist because I want to dance and be a dentist,” she explained.

For General Inquiries Please Call: 1-800-746-0902 Hilton Garden Inn Ajax Viewpoint Don’t worry, government has the solution To the editor: I’m tired of our provincial government interfering in the lives of the citizens of this province. The most recent was the defer- ment of tax refund monies to low income persons who had to borrow on their credit cards, at ridiculous interest rates, to pay for various large payments that they counted on the refunds to finance.Now, the big issue is the removal of non-nutritious foods from school cafeterias. The government claims children are becoming obese and a bur- den on our health system because of their eating habits. They are going to correct this by banning “fast foods” from school caf- eterias. Some cafeterias are going to close because they can’t make enough money selling “nutritious meals”. If the government is going to get into eat- ing habits in schools, then they should do it properly, not penalize every kid because some are overweight. They should imple- ment a program whereby once a week each child is measured for their body fat index. If the child is within the prescribed range, then he/she could order “fast foods” in the cafeteria that week. The others would have to go around the corner to the local chip truck. All kids would definitely want to get in shape so that they would not have to walk to the chip truck. I can see this going one step further. Any- one who does grocery shopping and has a bag of potato chips in their cart must also have a bunch of broccoli. I guarantee you, this government will have the hospitals and doctors’ offices empty by 2014 with their programs for saving money. Yeah, sure! Gord Reid Oshawa Direct election Just one additional employee was mentioned To the editor: Re: ‘Durham must focus on next direct- election steps, not staff costs’, editorial opin- ion, durhamregion.com, May 11, 2012. After reading this editorial I had to won- der if the writer read the article written by Jillian Follert and published on May 11, 2012. The editorial stated: “So why does a staff report veer into what can only be described as whimsy with a suggestion that an elected chairman will require addition- al staff such as drivers and media relations staffers or speech writers?” The article stated: “... an elected chairman may choose to attend more public events, which could require an additional contract employee for duties such as transportation, media relations and speech writing.” That statement suggests it could require an additional contract employee. I read that as a possibility of one additional per- son, whereas your editorial makes it sound like there will be three or more. The article goes on to quote Pauline Reid, director of corporate policy and strategic initiatives at the Region. She “stressed the additional staffing reference in the report is simply an example of what could happen -- not what will happen.” Isn’t it better to know ahead of time that there may be additional expenses involved in having an elected chairman? By the way, I’m all for having an elected chairman. I wonder how your editorial writer would have react if after electing a regional chair- man we suddenly found ourselves, as tax- payers, with an additional burden? There would have been a lot of noise made because we should have been informed ahead of time. As we were. Eliot L. Shimkofsky Oshawa transit Kudos to DRT for special services To the editor: I would like to thank the staff of Durham Region Transit’s specialized services for their help in getting me to the Port Perry hospital when my mother suffered a heart attack.

Not that long ago Mr. Henderson, an Oshawa resident, had seen his quality of life deteriorate quickly due to a genetic auto-immune disease that damaged his liver to a point where it wasn’t function- ing. A timely intervention by a Lakeridge Health Oshawa nurse and a twist of fate led Mr. Henderson to a life-saving liver transplant in London. Today, he’s active, fit and healthy thanks to the generosity of another family who chose to donate the organs of a loved one. He is also taking a local leadership role in promoting awareness of organ and tis- sue donation and encouraging others to consider it as a final act of selflessness. He’s working with Lakeridge Health and the Trillium Gift of Life Network to spread the word about people just like him, those who have literally been given a new lease on life thanks to organ donation. Modern medical technology, treatments and drugs allow more successful trans- plants than ever. But the rate of organ donation still lags far behind the need. Sadly, because of that, some will succumb to their ailments while on donor wait lists. Many of us have in the past signed organ donors cards and have kept them in our wallets and purses. But by registering with the Trillium Gift of Life Network, potential donors are included in a database that spells out the individual’s wishes and provides greater clarity about final wishes. Consider this: one organ and tis- sue donor can save up to eight lives and improve the quality of life of up to 75 peo- ple, according to the Trillium Gift of Life Network. That represents an impressive number of lives that can be improved by one indi- vidual. Death and tragedy are subjects we tend to avoid discussing. But if you knew that you could save lives, or improve the lives of a host of others, wouldn’t that be a wonderful legacy to leave? Wouldn’t the act of extending other lives -- Mr. Hender- son notes that it “gives people the oppor- tunity to have a full life” -- be a gift worth giving? Register with the Trillium Gift of Life Network today (beadonor.ca/lakeridge- health). Let your family and loved ones clearly know your wishes. Make the choice to be a donor. I’m wearing a black armband today. The birds have ceased their singing. The clouds have rolled in and the sun will not shine. My world is in shadow. I have sold my goalie equipment. Oddly enough I find myself greatly con- flicted over this transaction. On the one hand I am feeling saddened and a good deal older knowing that part of my life is really and truly gone now. As long as the gear was still in the garage, I had imagined there was always a chance I would play again. Another part of me, however, is actually glad to be rid of the stuff. Having it there, even tucked up in the rafters, was a constant reminder of some- thing I could no longer do. So, in a sense, today was kind of a necessary amputation of sorts. God knows my hockey bag certainly smelled like a dead limb. If there was a saving grace to this occa- sion it may well have been found in the smiling face of the young guy I sold the stuff to. I remember that smile. It was on my own face 12 years ago when I decided to get back into the game and bought my first set of used gear. That grimy, mildewed, sweat-stained stack of stink was nothing short of a brilliant suit of armor in my eyes. I couldn’t wait to get it home. Couldn’t wait to get out on the ice, certain my new purchase would help me to perform unparalleled feats of athleticism. I saw that in this kid’s eyes today. He too, couldn’t wait to get home with his new ‘old’ gear. I am also certain that, like me 12 years ago, he was putting it all on in his living room the minute he got home, looking very much like an idiot, but feeling every inch like Jacques Plante, or perhaps in his case, Martin Brodeur. Still, the thing that I am finding hard- est to shake is that sense that I have quit something. I don’t recall ever doing that before. Cer- tainly not a sport. I haven’t played base- ball in years, but I never really quit it. And if someone called to play a game of work- ups tomorrow I could still do it. I could even play football again if I had to. I’d play it slowly and carefully and probably badly, but I could do it. Even basketball, a game I loathed and played so badly it was barely recognizable, is something I could still do if I wanted to. God knows I could hardly be worse at it than I was. But hockey is different. I can’t play hock- ey anymore. Not if I want to walk without a limp. That’s the bottom line. But change, as they say, is the stuff of life. And while I miss the game, the room and, most of all, the guys, I have a net full of memories. I am forever grateful for the chance to have once more played a game that I loved so much as a kid. I am also inordinately blessed in that I still have a number of activities that keep me fit, alive and joyful. I can still golf, canoe, bicycle, snowshoe, snowboard and ski. And I promise you this: I will not be sell- ing my clubs, boats, bike, shoes, board or skis until the day they put me in a box. -- Durham resident 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 • Ma y 2 3 , 2 0 1 2 HOT TOPICS: A knock-out appearance....

The first sentence in your editorial: “OPG officials say they are ready for the unthink- able,” encapsulates all that is wrong with nuclear risk assessment: experts can’t pre- dict everything. Moreover, the immeasurably tragic con- sequences of a nuclear accident don’t per- mit anyone to make that statement accu- rately or realistically. The lessons to be learned from the disas- ter at Fukushima Dai-Ichi are not those that OPG has been discussing. Beyond the obvi- ous causes such as the larger-than-expect- ed earthquake and tsunami, internation- al reviewers like the International Atomic Energy Agency have pinned the root cause as the cozy relationship between TEPCO (the operator of the reactors), the govern- ment and the regulatory agency. The roles of promoter and regulator were mixed and thus there was no critical review of safety systems and practices. Here in Canada, the roles are becoming similarly blurred. Despite assurances that the Canadi- an Nuclear Safety Commission will never compromise safety, it has become clear that the CNSC can’t decide if it is regulating the industry or promoting it. When Linda Keen, the head of the CNSC, was fired in January 2008, it was because she insisted that the Chalk River reactor remain shut down for safety reasons. As a result, the CNSC’s reputation as a regulator has been severely compromised, its cred- ibility in evaluating OPG’s efforts vastly diminished.

Presented by Collection of milk and bread tags will save plastic from landfills Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The 7th Pickering Scouts are spearheading a new recycling initiative to keep more plastic out of landfills. The Scouts are collecting milk and bread tags to be recycled into new plastics, rather than clogging up landfills. “The average family of four uses 240 tags in one year,” said Al Harris, group commis- sioner for 7th Pickering Scouts. “Multiply that by the population of Dur- ham and wow, that’s millions of plastic tags ending up in landfills.” Residents are encouraged to collect all their milk and bread tags and drop them off at Target Recycling’s community drop- off at 453 Fairall St. in Ajax, where they will be recycled into new plastics. While there, residents can help Send a Scout to Camp by dropping off an item of e-waste. For every eligible item of e-waste dropped off at Target’s community drop- off before June 30, a donation will be made to the local Scout groups who are currently collecting e-waste, including Pickering and Ajax groups. Those funds will go towards the Send a Scout to Camp campaign, which covers camping cost for area Scouts. In addition, partial proceeds will also be donated to Haliburton Scout Reserve, Camp Samac of Oshawa and Samac North Camp. For more information, e-mail scouteral@ rogers.com.

I can be but for the most part I weigh decisions, especially when money is involved, very carefully. It took me a year to buy my first big- screen TV. So it was no surprise to me that it took almost three years from the time I started talking about it to get my first and only tattoo. My three-year trial period involved a lot of research and experimentation. The research involved talking to people, anyone I saw with a tattoo and the experimentation includ- ed getting those temporary tattoos at carni- vals, fairs and anytime we went to Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls. I tried the temporary tattoos on various parts of my body and finally decided on the inside part of my left arm. I liked that when I was working or busy doing other things I didn’t see it and when I turned my arm, it was there. At my age, you do forget things. Once I settled on the location, I started find- ing people who had a tattoo in the same place. A guy at the gas station, a few co-workers and the young girl at the Home Depot check-out who had a rose on the inside of her arm. If she can get it, I could. They all said the same thing. It didn’t hurt that much. But I wasn’t sure I believed them. I tried different types of temporary tattoos: Chinese symbols, animals, words, but my last one, of the Notre Dame fighting Irish mas- cot, was my favourite. So I knew it had to have some sort of connection to my Irish heritage. This is where having an artistic wife was helpful. While talking with Brenda, she suggested a shamrock as a way to honour the fact we were both born in Ireland. Our three boys were born in Canada so what better way to get them involved than with three red maple leafs? So I had my design. But after three years of talking about it and my 50th birthday Saturday, May 26, it was time to take the plunge. THE TATTOO Jim Swales is a tattoo artist who has opened the Ink Is Art Tattoo Lounge on Brock Street North in Whitby. He looks like a tattoo artist and was recom- mended to me. So I went to see him a week before my sitting to discuss the idea for it and to make sure he was OK with a videographer and photographer tagging along. I should note there was no deal on the tat- too because of the story I would be writing. It was $200. I wasn’t sure if that was a good price until I started talking to others and dis- covered that was fair. After an initial drawing -- Jim wanted blue waves going behind the Shamrock and the maple leafs ending in a point at the top of the tattoo -- I wasn’t happy with the point because I felt it was too much, but we decided on a design. My appointment was for 2 p.m. last Wednes- day. I signed numerous forms noting I wasn’t drunk and understood the risks and after Jim opened all the needles from a sealed bag in front of me, he started in on the tattoo. I’m not going to lie to you and say it didn’t hurt. I’ve been to a dentist where the freezing started wearing off while he was working on my teeth, and that hurt. This was less painful than that. The initial needle, where Jim drew the out- line of the design, was the most uncomfort- able part of the whole process. It wasn’t pain- ful, more like a stinging and after awhile you do get use to it. Except when he worked on the inside part of the arm where there is more muscle. I winced a few times when the nee- dle hit my arm. It was a little disconcerting to see blood on parts of the tattoo. The colouring was the least painful part of the process. Jim explained that the needle gets into the second layer of your skin, where the pigment is dispersed. Then the body goes to work to start healing itself and as skin begins to flake away, the colour on the second layer becomes more vibrant. The whole process took 45 minutes and the colour has been getting brighter each day. THE CARE Once the tattoo is done, you still have some work to do. My arm was bandaged and it had to stay on for three hours. The best way to care for the tattoo is to keep it moist. Jim gave me a Vitamin A and D oint- ment which I apply every four or five hours over the tattoo. You can’t use a face cloth or anything to wash the tattoo, just water and your hand. Then it has to be patted dry with a paper towel. A regular towel could have some lint or dust on it which could infect the tat- too. There has already been some peeling but I’m told that’s normal. Another enemy is the sun. For the first two or three weeks, the tattoo must be kept away from direct sunlight. THE OUTCOME I like it and have had many comments, especially from those who never thought I would go through with it. I’m glad I did it and as Jim noted, it is an event such as a signifi- cant birthday or celebration which is usually the impetus for a tattoo. I only turn 50 once. It was a nice birthday present to myself.

The Ironheads lost the game 15-9, dropped another in Halton Hills on Saturday 17-3, but fin- ished the weekend with an 11-7 victory in Orillia on Sunday. Jr. b Lacrosse Good, bad, ugly for Ironheads ajax lacrosse club drops two of three brad KeLLy bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- It was one of those weekends that produced the good, the bad and the ugly for the Ajax Ironheads, but not in that particular order. It was more like the bad, the ugly and the good after losing 15-9 to Newmarket Friday, 17-3 to Halton Hills Saturday and salvaging the three-in-three weekend with an 11-9 vic- tory in Orillia on Sunday in Jr. B lacrosse. In the only home game of the weekend, the Ironheads got off to a slow start at the Ajax Community Centre on Friday, falling behind 7-2 after the first period, but managed to rally with five in a row to open the second to tie the game 7-7. But an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty at the same time as the tying goal put Newmarket on the power play, they converted and went on a run that put them up 15-8 just past the midway mark of the third period, scoring six unanswered to close out the second period and start the third. “Friday night we came back in the second period and tied it 7-7 and then some undisci- plined play, which is uncharacteristic for us this year, (Newmarket) scored on the power play and that took away the momentum that we had built up,” said head coach Ron Reed. The next night in Halton Hills was a writ- eoff, with the home side jumping out to a 5-0 lead after the first period, extending it to 10-1 after two in the 17-3 final. Reed wasn’t at the game due to another commitment, but admitted it didn’t sound like he missed much. “From what I heard, it was one of those days. Nobody seemed to have it right from goaltending, to defenders, to attack, to for- wards. It was an off day,” he said of the report he received. The saving grace of the weekend came in Orillia on Sunday, turning the tables a bit by jumping out to a 5-0 lead after the first peri- od and grinding out an 11-7 victory. “Credit to the boys, they came back with 15 runners in Orillia, three games in three days, and played a pretty good game up there,” said Reed. One of the areas Reed would like to clean up is the slow starts his club gets off to, which has contributed to the 3-5-0 record to start the season. “We discussed that we can’t come out and always come from behind,” said Reed. “You can’t give up goals and have 40 minutes to make up that difference. It’s tough. Trying to get them mentally prepared, some of that can be attributed to us, the coaching staff, not having them ready. That’s something we’re going to have to work on.” One of the bright spots on the weekend was the play of George Jimas, who racked up 11 points in the three games, and has taken over the team lead in points with 19 goals and five assists for 24 points. Reed said Jimas is play- ing with a lot of confidence right now. “We knew he had the skill, he just has to play with that confidence. Sometimes it takes a little while to get into these guys that they are pretty good lacrosse players and they can play at this level. The light has clicked on for George and he’s playing really good lacrosse,” said the coach. The Ironheads are back on the floor Wednesday when they travel to Mississauga. the scoop Injuries and other commitments limited Ajax to just 15 runners for Sunday’s game. Coach Ron Reed said playing three games in three days for the sec- ond weekend in a row took its toll on his team ... If the stats on pointstreak.com are accurate, the Iron- heads were outshot 55-39 by Newmarket and 40-23 by Halton Hills ... The Ironheads needs some work on the penalty kill. Newmarket went six for 16, Halton Hills two for eight and Orillia five for eight with the man advantage ... The weekend will bring back-to- back meetings with Newmarket, on the road Friday and home Sunday at 3 p.m. basebaLL Ratcliffe part of junior national team hopefuls WHITBY -- Whitby’s Ryan Kel- logg and Ajax’s Sean Ratcliffe are among the 27 baseball players that will head to the Dominican Repub- lic May 23 to June 1 for the junior national team’s annual Dominican summer league camp. The juniors will play 11 games against teams in the Dominican summer league, facing Domini- can prospects from the Minnesota Twins, Toronto Blue Jays, Milwau- kee Brewers, Chicago Cubs, Kan- sas City Royals, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays, Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels. The highlight of the trip will come May 31 at Estadio Quisqueya in Santo Domingo when the juniors take on some of the Dominican’s top prospects eligible to sign with Major League Baseball teams on or after July 2. The Dominican team will be selected by MLB as they showcase some of the top unsigned talent the country has to offer. With MLB’s first-year player draft scheduled for June 4-6, the trip will provide Canadian players an opportunity to perform in front of MLB scouts and personnel. The camp is one of two remaining prior to the IBAF 18U world cham- pionship in Seoul, South Korea Aug. 30 to Sept. 8. There will be a final camp and exhibition series Aug. 15-27 where the final 20-man roster will be selected for the world championship. Kellogg is six-foot-five, 210- pound left-handed pitcher, while Ratcliffe is a six-foot-three, 190- pound catcher. Also in the mix is Port Hope pitcher Cal Quantrill, son of former Major Leaguer Paul Quantrill, who has played in the Whitby Chiefs minor system. 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 2 3 , 2 0 1 2 18 AP MAY 23, 2012 We dnesday Flyers If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

So it was that when Sauve was a little girl and her parents wanted her to try figure skating, she held fast and insisted she play hockey instead, like her older brother, Brady. So it was, again, that when she decided she’d like to be the first female player to take part in the annual OHL Cup, she ended up doing exactly that, as a goalie with the Whitby Wildcats midget AAA team this season. And so it may well be some- day that she reaches the pinnacle of competition, the Olympics, a dream that took a turn in the right direction recently, when Hockey Canada invited her to the nation- al women’s program strength and conditioning camp at York Uni- versity. “My ultimate goal is to play with Team Canada in the Olympics later on, but for now my short-term goals are to represent my province and my coun- try in the U18 program,” said Sauve, a Brook- lin resident and Grade 10 student at Donald A. Wilson Secondary School. “I’m just look- ing forward to going to this camp and getting a good head start on that at a young age.” Sauve was the young- est of nine goalies at the camp, the lone competitor born in 1996, and the third youngest overall among the 57 players invited. The camp is considered an important first step in pinpoint- ing the country’s future female hockey stars, including those who could one day represent Cana- da at world championships and Olympics. Sauve was one of two from Brooklin attending the camp, joined by fellow Wilson student Nicole Martindale, who played with the Whitby Jr. Wolves last season. She admits there will be an adjustment going from boys’ hockey, where she’s played all her life, to the women’s game, playing for the Durham West Light- ning of the Provin- cial Women’s Hockey League. “I just need to adjust my lateral movement, slow down a little bit and learn to be a bit more patient with the girls, because they move the puck and they’re very clever with the puck and pass it a lot more,” she said. “I had to build strength when I was play- ing with the guys because they’re physically a bit stronger, so I think that’ll be a bit of an advantage being maybe stronger than some of my opponents.” Sauve, whose family has moved around a fair bit, started playing hockey in Sudbury in the Timbits program, where a goalie rotation was encouraged, much to her chagrin. “I kept sliding in front of the net and I really wanted to be the goalie,” she recalled. “Every time we had a game they’d pick a goal- ie and I always wanted to be the player picked. It just started from there. I’ve been goalie pretty much ever since.” She has also played boys’ hockey in Montreal and was on Whitby’s AAA team in minor peewee, but had to prove herself all over again when she returned to Whitby for her minor midget season, a key year for those with junior hockey aspirations. “It was a challenge. I really had to work hard,” she said of this year’s tryouts. “Especially going in as a girl, you’re really an under- dog. You have to be ten times bet- ter than everybody else because if you’re the same as the guy, then they’re just going to pick the guy. I just worked my butt off trying to get that spot and I ended up being able to.” Playing just over half of her team’s games, Sauve helped lead the Wildcats to an OMHA cham- pionship and a trip to the OHL Cup this season, where only the top 20 teams in the province are invited. Whitby was 1-2-1 at the tournament, with Sauve manag- ing a 2.38 goals-against average in two games. “It was a really big experience for me because my goal from when I was younger was always to play in the OHL Cup, to be the first girl in the OHL Cup, so being able to do that was fulfilling one of my biggest goals as a little girl,” she said. “It meant a lot going there and playing there with all the guys who are such hot pros- pects.” While Sauve will make a com- plete switch over to women’s hockey next season, she leaves the boys’ game behind with fond memories. “My teammates were amazing, I can’t say one bad thing about any of them. My teammates have always been really good, they’re some of my best friends out there that I’ve played with over the years,” she said. “As the years went on, the chirps went away because to be playing at that level with them they really had not much to chirp about,” she said, in reference to her oppo- nents. “The odd time that I did get chirped, I wasn’t afraid to chirp back.” HOCkey Sauve to tend net for the Lightning KassIdy sauve 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 2 3 , 2 0 1 2 19 AP The winning bid is in the cards Retail Shopping Attractions & Events Home & Garden Restaurants Groceries Health & Wellness Car Care Services Powered by: Introducing theGift CardDEALer Coming Thursday May 24 til Wednesday May 29 Over $100,000 worth of Gift Cards / Certificates just in the Durham Region alone are up for auction SAVE $$$ Watch for this exciting online auction, coming to www.starauctions.ca anddurhamregion.com Get ready for one of Ontario’s biggest online gift card auctions.

Traditionally teams have played mostly in tournaments and have had a difficult time connecting with other teams to have games where the kids can play with less pressure and the coaches can watch them play and learn how to make them a better team. The weekend of July 28-29 will find approximately 1,500 soccer players meeting at three loca- tions in Pickering: Kinsmen Park, Chris Graham Fields and Princess Diana Fields. Comments from last year’s event revealed that the friendlies were a good opportunity for the kids to play in a stress-free situa- tion and for the coaches to meet and discuss tournament opportu- nities. Pickering Soccer Club is home to approximately 4,000 soccer players including both recre- ational and competitive play- ers. In addition to being affiliated with the TFC Academy and also leading a special needs program, Pickering Soccer Club recently announced a Stop Bullying Now Campaign.
