Rouge Valley is the only acute care hospital in Canada to have a real-time locating system to track patients throughout the depart- ment. The system was installed after the hospital’s new ED opened in 2008. At 20,000 square feet, it proved too big to keep track of with the white board doctors used to manually track patients in the old ED.

Body of Moustafa Ahmadi recovered from Lake Ontario Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Friends and family are remem- bering Ajax resident Moustafa Ahmadi as a hard worker and good man after his body was recovered from Lake Ontario. The body of Mr. Ahmadi, a 26-year-old construction worker, was recovered on Aug. 25 when a passing boater noticed his body about one kilometre out in the lake off the southern edge of Lakeridge Road and contacted police. Mr. Ahmadi had been canoeing with one of his brothers on Aug. 5 when their vessel capsized. Although his brother was rescued by a kayaker while swimming towards shore, rescuers could not locate Mr. Ahmadi, who remained missing for nearly three weeks. “He was a good swimmer, but the tem- perature of the water was just too cold,” said his brother Omar Ahmadi, who was not with him at the time of the incident. A funeral for Mr. Ahmadi was held on Aug. 28. “He was a good guy, everyone loved him,” Omar Ahmadi said. “There were almost 400 people at the funeral, every- one who knew him knows he was a good man and they all came out to pay their respects.” Omar Ahmadi said the recovery of the body was met with relief by family. “It gives me peace of mind, because without the body we would always be wondering,” he said, although he expressed frustration with the search and said he thought Mr. Ahmadi should have been found earlier. “When my brother drowned I went to police and they said they don’t have the money to search every corner of the lake, they only searched for two days,” he explained. “That’s not the answer, if someone is missing the search should continue until they are found, money should not be the answer. They need to look properly.” lo c a l b r e a k i n g n e w s , s p o r t s , p h o t o s , v i d e o a n d w e a t h e r : a l l d a y , e v e r y d a y >> Ask Katherine Send your waste related letters, questions, or comments to waste@durham.ca Waste Management, Regional Municipality of Durham 605 Rossland Rd.

More than $50,000 in stolen goods has been recovered as the result of a joint investigation by Durham Regional Police and OPP. During the course of the investigation, officers con- cluded that the suspects were based in Ajax, using a truck reg- istered to a fake company with stolen licence plates and using fake identification and pay-as-you- go cellphones to prevent them from being identified by their victims. On Aug. 22 police executed a series of search warrants in Ajax, recovering two Sea-Doos and a trailer worth $27,000 obtained from a Niagara Falls victim, an enclosed trailer worth $7,000 from a Bowmanville victim and an $8,000 com- mercial generator belonging to a Missis- sauga victim. Fraudulent cheques, related Kijiji ads and stolen licence plates were also seized. Victims of the fraud were targeted from Ottawa to Niagara Falls to London and the estimated cost to victims is estimated at $250,000 and climbing as more victims are notified of the fraudulent cheques by their banks. Paul Mehmet, 33, of Whitbread Crescent in Ajax, is facing numerous charges includ- ing six counts of fraud over $5,000, theft and possession of stolen property. Jeyakumaran Muneeswarakumar, 32, of Leah Crescent in Ajax, is also facing numerous charges, includ- ing fraud over $5,000, uttering forged documents and posses- sion of stolen property. Police have issued arrest warrants for Steven Hall, 31, of no fixed address, and Krystal Rush, 26, of Wilkie Lane in Ajax. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Ms. Rush or Mr. Hall is asked to contact police or Crime Stop- pers. Anyone with information about the scam or who may be a victim is asked to call 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5702.

To address the problem, Dr. Mann sug- gested a $200,000 tracking system consist- ing of badges for staff, patients and important equipment that allow them to be tracked by infrared sensors in the ceiling. Their locations are then displayed on a main screen, along with the amount of time they’ve been in the ER. “It lets us find our patients and assets in a hurry, measure how we’re getting patients through the ER in terms of flow and we can also fine-tune the system to give us visual warnings if a patient’s wait time is approach- ing a target we don’t want to exceed,” Dr. Mann explained. “It helps us make sure we’re on track.” The system will be integrated with a new EDIS that the hospital is planning on pur- chasing next year, creating a fully automated system where the movements of patients will be entered into the system using data from the sensors, rather than staff having to man- ually update patient locations as they move through hospital departments. While the system has been a great success, there is one snag. “Sometimes people for- get they’re wearing badges, they get hidden under their coat or something and they walk out with them,” Dr. Mann explains, noting they were losing up to 20 badges a day when the system was first installed, which has since decreased to about two a week. At a cost of $50 each, that adds up for the hospital and Dr. Mann is appealing for the return of any erstwhile badges still out there in commu- nity. “We’d be very grateful for any returned badges,” he said.

That means new clothes, school supplies and street-proofing kids, especially ones who are old enough to walk to school by themselves for the first time. And when that safety talk comes up, it’s a great time to talk about online safety as well. Data from the United States shows 39 per cent of kids aged two to four have used a smart device like an iPad or a smart phone and the number jumps to 52 per cent for kids aged five to eight. This means a large group of kids knows how to use mobile devices before they can read and when they do learn to read, they’re ready to connect online. These kids will never know a time when they weren’t connected to the Internet and they weren’t com- fortable heading there. The benefit, of course, is that they have infor- mation at their fingertips and nearly count- less learning opportunities. But on the flip side, that level of comfort online can breed a false sense of safety. While they would never talk to a stranger on the street, they might do it online. Parents know about common safety tips for online such as monitoring their children’s activity and placing computers in spaces where they can check up on their kids. The hard part is getting them to understand that there are dangers online and people aren’t always who they say they are and the only way that message can come through is if it’s con- sistently reinforced. A common safety tip for parents is to know who their child’s friends are and that applies to their online life as well. Who are the people the child is communicating with through instant messaging and social media? Are they age-appropriate friends? Are they people the child knows in real life? Elementary school-aged children who are on Facebook should not have more than a small group of friends and family members they communicate with and they should be friends with their parents as well. Even if parents don’t like using Facebook or social media, it’s worth signing up. In addition to keeping an eye out for pred- ators, a parent connected to their child via social media can look for signs of bullying. If none of those issues come up, great. Maybe a side benefit will be better communication between parent and child. --Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every second Thursday in this space. Contact her on Facebook, Twitter (@rszekely) or e-mail at rszekely@durhamregion.com Web-proof kids when street-proofing for return to school Proposed new Durham ridings pose challenges When Durham Region voters next head to the polls to choose an MP or MPP, they might be doing so in a vastly different elec- toral landscape. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Com- mission this week released a map of redrawn riding boundaries, proposed as an answer to Ontario’s growing population. Ontar- io would have 121 ridings in the next elec- tion, up from the current 106. Here at home, Durham Region would be made up of eight ridings, all newly named, up from the cur- rent five. The changes are driven entirely by population numbers, which has result- ed in at least two new Durham ridings that might raise eyebrows. How about Pickering- Brooklin Riding? Or Haliburton-Uxbridge? The new configurations certainly capture one’s attention. And, as local political organizers sug- gest, the redrawn boundaries will require future candidates to redraw their approach to pitching policies on riding doorsteps and tailor their campaigns for the widest pos- sible reach and appeal to voters. In some cases, such as that of the proposed Hali- burton-Uxbridge, or Kawartha Lakes-Port Hope-Cobourg ridings, candidates will have to expand their knowledge on rural and urban issues and craft policies and messag- ing that are inclusive and which resonate for voters in those ridings. As another example, Pickering-Brooklin would see all of the Whitby community of Brooklin removed from its traditional rid- ing. Indeed, as former NDP candidate Trish McAuliffe noted this week, Brooklin resi- dents could face some challenges related to provincial or federal concerns. As well, each community has its own issues to confront, and won’t necessarily be amenable to poli- cies that might benefit one and not the other. In Uxbridge, a similar situation is emerging: two disparate communities with a common provincial or federal representative, but few common everyday issues and concerns. But democracy is often messy and some- times convoluted. Though the reconfigured ridings will pose some challenges, none are insurmountable. Meanwhile, it’s important to note that the reconfigured ridings are only proposals at this stage. In the interests and traditions of democracy, residents are invited to com- ment at upcoming public meetings in the fall. Local residents have their opportunity on Tuesday, Nov. 13 in Oshawa to comment or make a presentation. Visit www.federal- redistribution.ca for information. Residents are urged to take the opportuni- ty to exercise their franchise, share thoughts in support and opposition, and help shape the future of democracy in Durham Region. 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 • Au g u s t 3 0 , 2 0 1 2 6 AP 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 • Au g u s t 3 0 , 2 0 1 2 7 AP 73 EXCITING LOCATIONS ACROSS CANADA OR VISIT US AT www.leons.ca OR W H E N IT’S A L L GONE!

The name of the victim, a 52-year- old man from Ajax, was not released by police. The detachment’s new policy is not to release names “if it won’t reduce crime, promote safety or help the victim,” Nor- thumberland OPP media relations offi- cer Constable Phil Clarke said. “I really don’t want to draw any more attention to these people who are grieving.” The accident occurred around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25 during a family function on private property on Goldol- phin Road north of Warkworth. Police reported earlier that the man was driving a tractor pulling a hay wagon when he lost control of the vehicle while going down a hill and it slammed into a tree. The driver was thrown from the tractor and several of the 25 people aboard the hay wagon fell off. Two others were also taken to hospi- tal. The driver was airlifted to Kingston General Hospital while an eight-year- old boy was airlifted to SickKids hospital in Toronto. A 28-year-old Windsor man was treated at Campbellford Memorial Hospital. “As far as we know they’re recovering from their injuries,” Const. Clarke said.

The 15-year-old twins make a beeline for chips, bananas and juice, jos- tling each other as they move around the small kitchen of their family’s Oshawa home. At a glance, there’s not much to set them apart from other boys their age -- they’re friendly, athletic and boisterous. They like swimming, bowling, travelling, listening to music, watching cooking shows on TV and going to church. But they’re also unable to speak and struggle with social interaction, behaviour and learning. The Webster twins were three when they were both diagnosed with autism. “To have one child who is autistic is difficult, but to have two ... people say ‘how do you do it?’” says their father Donald Webster. When the boys were born there were no outward signs that anything was amiss -- they met all their developmental milestones. It wasn’t until they were toddlers that their parents started to notice problems with speech and interaction. “When the label was placed on them, it was heartrending,” says their mother Pauline Webster. Today the twins need help with most aspects of daily life, from getting dressed in the morning to walking to and from the school bus that takes them to G.L. Roberts Collegiate. It means a hectic pace for their parents, who also have a 14-year-old son named Joseph and an adult daughter. Both parents work -- Ms. Webster part-time -- and are heavily involved with their church as well as community volunteer work. “It is very difficult, our lives are 24/7. They need supervision all the time, they can’t even go out in front of the house on their own in case they go in front of cars,” Ms. Webster says. “But it is also wonderful because they are such lovely boys. They are always happy and upbeat, there’s never a sad day.” One of the biggest challenges for Joshua and John-Paul is communica- tion and social interaction -- especially when it comes to people outside their family. “They look very normal and approachable, but when people talk to them they just look down,” Ms. Webster says. “They can sometimes say one or two words.” It’s harder the older they get. The challenges for teens with autism are much different from those faced by younger kids. Children are often able to get away with less verbal communication and may still be able to socialize with others through simple play. For teens focused on dating, driving and other coming-of-age mile- stones, there is often no place for peers with such significant limita- tions. Their parents say the boys don’t really have friends -- instead they’re each other’s best friend. “They’re so kind to each other, if one of them gets a snack or a treat they always make sure there is one for their brother. They look after each other,” Mr. Webster says. But that close twin bond doesn’t deter the twins from striving to com- municate with others. They recently finished up a 12-week program at Grandview Children’s Centre that included using a communication book with pictures to share their thoughts and ideas. “One of things that shocked us was their willingness to want to inter- act with other people,” says Jenna Fletcher, a communicative disorders assistant at Grandview. “When you hear ‘non-verbal 15-year-old twins’ you might think otherwise, but week by week they blew us away. They really, really wanted to learn.” The boys now regularly use the book at home, pointing to images of food, places and emotions. Communication isn’t the only challenge the twins have taken on -- they recently started training for the West Durham Special Olympics. The program, part of Special Olympics Ontario, gives people with an intellectual disability the chance to train and compete in a range of sports such as bowling, soccer, basketball, floor hockey, softball and skating. Every Tuesday evening Joshua and John-Paul can be found working on their running, long jump and shotput skills at St. Mary Catholic Second- ary School in Pickering. For them, the challenges go beyond physical endurance. “They’re really good runners but they’re new to the idea of competi- tion. They have to learn to try to outrun the other person,” Ms. Webster says. “Even when they’re competing they always want to run beside each other.” photos by ryan pFeiFFer / metroland OSHAWA -- Top centre, Joshua and John-Paul relaxed on the couch after school.

A friend told me some young adults in Whitby had taken a duck from outside into a basement, to be kept as a pet. I told her that’s absurd, and they can face charges for this. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, when we checked in, the duck was dead. It was awful thinking about the help- less creature being taken out if its natural environment, and without the right food and conditions it needed to survive. “It’s completely illegal to have them for just one minute,” says Nathalie Karvonen of the Toronto Wildlife Centre. She believes in most cases a person doesn’t mean to hurt the wild animal they take in. “I think sometimes even well-intentioned people don’t under- stand the impact,” she says. But the public shouldn’t interfere, even if they think they’re helping. “Wild birds that appear to be aban- doned usually are not, and should be left alone,” Environment Canada spokesman Mark Johnson said in an e-mail. And putting them with domestic birds is not a good idea because they can trans- mit diseases. Ms. Karvonen said lack of proper food could have been a factor in this duck’s death, but also being taken out of its environment is extremely stressful. “A lot of animals can die just from stress alone,” she says. Under the federal Migratory Bird Con- vention Act, it is illegal to harass, move, harm or kill any migratory bird or migra- tory bird eggs. It’s also illegal to disturb the nest of a migratory bird. So if a goose or duck is nesting in your backyard, or in the parking lot at work, you’ll just have to be patient and leave it alone. But protect- ing the birds with a fence, for example, is encouraged. It’s best to call an expert with concerns regarding wild birds. The number for TWC is 416-631-0662 and it’s located at 60 Carl Hall Rd., Toron- to. Environment Canada can be reached at 1-800-668-6767 or 416-739-4826. CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND DURHAM -- It is against the law to touch, harm, harass or kill migratory birds in Canada, which includes ducks and geese. It’s best to contact a professional wild- life rehabilitator if you have concerns about water fowl living near you.

He’s very energetic and would do best in a home with adults or older chil- dren (teens). He is crate trained and loves to play fetch. Brody needs an active home with someone to take him on long walks. > The year of the butterflies continues. Remember that huge flood of red admirals in late April, followed by a wave of painted ladies and question marks? More butterflies have been arriving all summer, some so rare around here I’d never heard of them, much less seen one. Intrigu- ing sounding species like hackberry emperor, little sulfur and American snout. The moral of the story: be sure to check out every butterfly you see, because it might be an interesting visitor from the States or Mexico, given the record-breaking mild winter we -- and butterflies all across the eastern States -- enjoyed. Like most people, I’m glad to see so many mon- archs about, a heartening sign for these often beleaguered butterflies. And my husband and I have been enjoying the white and red admirals, ladies and summer azures nec- taring on our gaudy display of zinneas and buddlea, along with clouds of monarchs. But except for a gorgeous blue- and-black pipevine swallowtail and a few buckeyes in July, we haven’t seen any rarities. Until last week. A friend of ours, butterfly enthusiast Ed Poropat from Hali- burton, came by for a quick visit late Wednesday, before drop- ping off his daughter at the GO train. He told us of the latest exot- ics that had shown up in southern Ontario, including a white M hairstreak in Prince Edward County. I had never heard of this but- terfly, but happen to love all tiny, fast-flying, exquisitely etched hair- streaks. When Ed said we should keep an eye out, I laughed, thinking of the odds of coming across one. Ironically, the very next afternoon I spotted a tiny pale butterfly on a blade of grass near our front steps. Bending close, I saw one orange dot toward the back of its hindwing, and when it opened its wings, a sheen of morpho blue. Dennis got a good look at it, too, and when it flitted off, we rushed in to check our butterfly books. We were amazed to find it was in fact a white M hairstreak, the “M” name due to a crisp white squiggle on its hindwing. Dennis e-mailed news of our find to local compilers, who informed us it was the first record of this species in Durham Region. Bright and early Saturday morning, Rayfield Pye, a keen naturalist who manages the Durham Region birding hotline, came by, hoping to find the hairstreak. It didn’t show, but shortly after he arrived he spotted a giant swallowtail. Black above, with double bands of gold, it’s the biggest butterfly in North America, so large it keeps fluttering as it nectars. Dennis and I hauled out the lawn chairs, and by the time Rayfield left, an hour later, we’d seen nine species of butterflies, including a pipevine swallowtail, a buckeye and a great spangled fritillary.

Walking has been proven to lower blood pressure, reduce the risk or manage type 2 diabetes, manage weight, reduce bad cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease or heart attack. For senior citizens, it's also a safe way to stay healthy. If all of that weren't enough reason to lace up your walking shoes, setting goals and creating a sense of achievement is a great way to motivate yourself to exercise more. Adding steps to your day comes down to a change in your behavior and being aware of your actions, explains Dr. Shannon Bredin, a behavior specialist and assistant professor in the University of British Columbia's School of Kinesiology. According to Dr. Bredin, tracking is an effective form of self-monitoring that can help motivate a person. Tracking can measure and help regulate your behavior. But it isn't easy to accurately quantify your physical activity. Great little tools are also available to help track your activity. For example, there's a new and affordable device from a Canadian company that's a digital pedometer, and much more. Take a look at www.tractivityonline.com to see how it works. Tractivity is lightweight and easy to use. A digital sensor conveniently attaches to your shoe or inside special insoles and records your steps. The Tractivity software securely stores your activity information, including your goals and walking history. It illustrates your progress by showing a record of your steps, distance travelled, time active, and the calories burned in a fun and motivational manner. It also presents you with virtual awards as you reach milestones. Tracking how many steps you take each day may surprise you. This includes your walk from the bus to work, the walk to the corner store, taking the stairs, gardening, and even a few trips to the office water cooler. Be aware however, that many people don't have a good understanding of whether or not they get enough physical activity every day. A common mistake, experts say, is using the scale to measure the progress of a fitness regime. Dr. Bredin advises that you would get more accurate information by measuring your level of physical activity – like the steps you take in a day – than you would from a number on the scale. Tracking your activity is like signing a contract with yourself, she explains. It objectively measures your exercise and increases your understanding and perception of what you are doing. “Tracking is one tool that allows you to be accountable to your goal.” Dr. Bredin says it's also critical to set the right goals and measure the right outcomes. “You don't want your goals to be too easy so that there is no satisfaction in fulfilling them, but you also can't make them so difficult that they frustrate you. The secret to setting goals is to strike a balance between achievability and creating a real challenge for yourself.” www.newscanada.com Found in foods and supplement form, probiotics (healthy bacteria) are becoming popular for their many beneficial properties including maintaining a natural healthy intestinal flora in your digestive tract. According to Health Canada, probiotics are live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, provide a health benefit. There are many probiotic strains, but it's important to realize that not all strains carry the same health benefits. Probiotics with the specific strain Bifantis help relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) such as abdominal discomfort, gas and bloating. Developed by gastroenterologists and other scientists, this particular strain of probiotic has over 10 years of research behind it and has shown to help relieve and manage symptoms of IBS. If you suffer from IBS, it's important to develop a holistic plan of treatment with your doctor that may include learning to reduce stress, exercising, changing your diet and supplementing with a probiotic that contains the Bifantis strain to relieve and manage symptoms.

Among them were Pickering broth- ers Cory and Devoe Joseph, along with up-and-coming NCAA athletes Justin Edwards and Dyshawn Pierre, both of Whitby. The four hoops stars were led at the camp by Canada Basketball general man- ager Steve Nash and newly appointed head coach Jay Triano, who was rehired to the post last week prior to camp. Triano, the former head coach of the Toronto Raptors and one-time leader of the national program in which Nash has played in the past, will be charged with taking the next generation of Canadian basketball stars, which include the likes of the four from Durham Region, to new heights. “I know that Jay is the right man for this job,” declared Nash in a press release following the announcement of Tria- no’s return to the program. “He is a con- firmed and respected leader in the bas- ketball community and he has the expe- rience and knowledge to lead us towards our goal of becoming one of the leading basketball nations.” The five-day camp saw players put through a combine-like training process along with some scrimmage games. For most it was a good way to end the summer before heading off to different opportunities this fall. Cory Joseph will soon head back to San Antonio to begin his second season with the Spurs. A first round pick in 2011, Joseph spent the year shuffling between San Antonio and their D-League affiliate Austin Toros, however, he should be in line for a bigger role with the perennially contenting Spurs this season. Devoe Joseph, meanwhile, is headed overseas. After closing out his NCAA career as a senior with the Oregon Ducks, Joseph impressed during NBA summer league with the Raptors and soon after inked a deal to head over to play in the Ukraine. Edwards heads south for his sopho- more season at the University of Maine. He made quite an impact as a freshmen one year ago, being named the College Sports Madness America East Rookie of the Year and to the America East All- Rookie Team. He was second on the team in scoring with 13.9 points per game, third with 5.6 rebounds per game and tied for second on the team with 3.3 assists per contest. He also led the team with 40 steals. Pierre, meanwhile, will be making his NCAA debut. Like Edwards he is a for- mer Anderson Collegiate star and was also a highly coveted recruit coming out of high school. Earlier this year he signed on to attend Dayton and will take to the courts as a freshmen this fall with the Flyers. Pierre is coming off two straight high school provincial championships -- one of which was won alongside Edwards -- and has represented his country at the U19 and U17 world championships. At the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championships in Latvia, Pierre was one of the youngest athletes in the tournament at age 17, yet he still managed to lead the Canadian team in scoring, averaging 17.7 points per game along with 8.1 rebounds. > SUBMITTED PHOTO TORONTO -- Cory Joseph , left, and Devoe Joseph, middle, share a light moment during a weekend training camp for Canada Basketball’s senior men’s national team. The Pickering brothers and a host of others were put through the paces by new coach Jay Triano and general manager Steve Nash. Together on the court Soccer Watch Early exit for Exeter at Women’s World Cup Japan 2012 JAPAN -- Christine Exeter and Canada concluded their participation at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Japan 2012, falling 2-1 to Korea DPR in the final group match on Monday. Canada finished third in Group C, thus resulting in their elimination. Canada finished with one win and two losses in three matches. Their lone win came in a 6-0 final over a short-handed Argentinian team, while both losses, against Korea DPR and another to Norway, came by 2-1 scores. Exeter plays right back, forward and defence, and has previous experience with the national program. The former Pickering High School athlete is head- ing into her third year at the University of Louisville, where she plays on a soccer scholarship. At Louisville, Exeter has started 39 of 41 games, has 21 goals to her credit and is coming off a sophomore campaign in which she won Big East Conference Offensive Player of the Year honours, was named first-team Big East and third-team NSCAA All-America. Along with Korea DPR and Norway, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Korea Republic, Germany and USA have all qualified for the quarter-final phase. “Clearly, it is disappointing to be out of the tournament,” said Canadian U-20 coach Andrew Olivieri. “At the same time, it is a positive begin- ning for this program. We are under a new direction (at the national level) and this is the first youth group with which we have worked. It can be a disappoint- ing end to a tournament, but a very posi- tive beginning to what is hopefully com- ing next. “This tournament is crucial for the development of our national team play- ers. There were some wonderful perfor- mances in this tournament and there are a few players that could step into the full national team.” This marks Canada’s fifth participation at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. This year’s crop of 1992-born players qualified for Japan 2012 and finishing second at the 2012 CONCACAF women’s under-20 championship. Canada was one of 16 teams participat- ing in the tournament. 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 • Au g u s t 3 0 , 2 0 1 2 19 AP 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 • Au g u s t 3 0 , 2 0 1 2 20 AP On Now at The Brick!

Ajax (inside Ajax Home Depot) Saar to suit up for the Durham Lords OSHAWA -- The Durham Lords women’s volleyball team has announced that former Canadian youth national team member Leah Saar of Pickering will be joining the line-up this season. Head coach Shane Christopher made the announcement via press release on Monday. “I am very happy to have Leah as part of our team,” said Christo- pher. “Her experience and under- standing of the game of volleyball will only make our team that much more competitive. She is a tremen- dous athlete and an amazing per- son. She will be a great fit with our team. After a couple years away from the game she loves, we are excited she will return playing as a Lord.” Saar is a two-time member of Team Canada, playing with the national youth team as a left-side hitter. Training with the national program in Winnipeg, she had the opportunity to play in several inter- national tournaments including the NORCECA championship in Austin, Texas. Saar also played two seasons with the Ryerson Rams of the OUA. In her rookie year (2008-09), she finished in the top five in league scoring with an average of 2.95 kills per game. Following the season, she was named an OUA all-star and a member of the OUA all-rook- ie team. She led the Rams in kills (171), points (192) and aces (14), while finishing second on the team with 102 digs. Her sophomore season with Ryer- son was just as impressive as she was once again named an OUA all- star. She led the Rams in kills (149) and points (166). Saar played club volleyball for the Durham Attack where she was team captain. Under her leadership, the Attack won both provincials and nation- als, where she was named MVP. Saar is also a three-time recipient of the Ontario Volleyball Association award of excellence. Bennett wins in match play PICKERING -- Pickering’s Meghan Bennett had quite the weekend on the links. The 17 year old, who is enter- ing Grade 12 at Dunbarton High School, won the Ontario Junior Girls Match Play Championship at Barcovan Golf Club in Carrying Place, Ont. The number two-ranked golf- er heading into the event, Ben- nett, representing Whitevale Golf Club, opened with the first round victory over the 15th-seeded Sasha Linauskas before following up with wins over Jessica Ip, the seventh seed, and third-ranked Madison Easterbrook to advance to the final. In the final Bennett, a member of Team Ontario U19 and win- ner of the Pickering Civic Award as the 2011 amateur athlete, was the winner 3 and 2 over Annika Haynes. Barcovan Golf Club was designed in 1964 and has been a family-owned business since 1973. It is situated on 150 acres of treed woodland and is just north of Lake Ontario and Weller’s Bay inlet. Submitted Photo CARRYING PLACE -- Pickering’s Meghan Bennett won the Ontario Junior girls match play title at Barcovan Golf Club. Ajax’s Shannon Lucas leads UOIT into first soccer season OSHAWA -- The UOIT women’s soccer team will hit the pitch for the first time in OUA regular sea- son action on Friday afternoon as the Ridgebacks host the Western Mustangs. Opening kickoff is set to take place at 3 p.m. at Vaso’s Field. “We are all very excited about this new program and the play- ers who are here representing UOIT,” said head coach Peyvand Mossavat. “We have a committed rookie team that has a lot to learn about the OUA and the competi- tion at the next level, but are very eager to start. We have set a high standard and aggressive goals for our team in their first year, but all the players have bought into that vision and are working hard to be successful.” The Ridgebacks fared well in pre-season action so far, compil- ing a 2-1-0 record. A number of players will be playing a key role in the devel- opment of the program. Cam- bridge product Kylie Bordeleau and Jamie Ryan from Ottawa are strong defenders and have shown great maturity in training camp so far. Sara Voisin of Waterloo, who was on the 2012 Ontario Cup win- ning team from Oakville, will be a physical force in the middle play- ing alongside Shannon Lucas of Ajax who will bring some experi- ence on the first-year team. “The team has been meshed really quickly,” said Lucas. “It has been a great atmosphere around training camp with everyone encouraging one other.” The Ridgebacks’ young roster is supported by a coaching staff which has plenty of experience at different levels. “We have a lot of experience in the coaching staff and I’m proud of their commitment to the team and the work they are doing with the players to get them ready,” said Mossavat. “Academic suc- cess is also an important item on our agenda which will be a major part of the culture of this team.” In addition to the Ridgebacks’ home opener on Friday, the team will also host the Windsor Lanc- ers on Saturday at noon and take part in the Campus Cup against Durham College next week. Other Durham Region players on the roster include Oshawa’s Robyn Bonneau and Sierra Bulg- er, Haillee Thompson and Connie Cancellara of Ajax and Pickering’s Katie Watts. 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 • Au g u s t 3 0 , 2 0 1 2 21 AP Discover a Richer, More Rewarding Future DISCOVERIMPROVEACHIEVE 1-888-806-1856 Call Today!
