PICKERING -- A traffic stop Monday night in
Pickering led to the discovery of a marijuana
grow operation valued at more than $2 mil-
lion.
Officers stopped a vehicle on Brock Road at
about 10:45 p.m. and found the driver to be
in possession of a large quantity of cash and
numerous bags of fertilizer, Durham police
said.
That discovery led cops to an industrial
area on Dillingham Road where they dis-
covered what’s described as a massive and
sophisticated marijuana grow operation.
Hundreds of plants with an estimated value
of $2.8 million were seized, police said.
Two suspects were arrested at the scene.
Members of the drug enforcement unit
removed plants and growing equipment.
Charged with production of marijuana
and possession for the purpose of trafficking
are Jing Xuan Jiang, 48, of Appleby Crescent,
Markham, and Man Tung Li, 41, of Robinson
Street, Toronto.
Both were held for bail hearings.

Partial demolition
of plant beginning
Tara HaTHerly
thatherly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The redevelopment of the Ajax steam
plant is now underway.
A partial demolition permit was issued for the
removal of the east part of the plant, on Mills
Road, beginning phase one of its redevelopment.
“The Index Energy steam plant is one of the key
projects in the development of the new down-
town Ajax,” said Mayor Steve Parish. “The mod-
ernized facility will generate enough renewable
energy to power
6,000 households
annually, and
will reduce ener-
gy costs for local
industries and
facilities choosing
to use steam gen-
erated from the
plant.”
When the plant’s
redevelopment is
complete, it will
generate 18 mega-
watts of clean
energy using
state-of-the-art
combustion equipment, and have a new building
and enclosed fuel storage area.
Wood biomass will be burnt at the plant to cre-
ate steam, which is said to be carbon neutral,
adding no net carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Until its redevelopment is complete in mid-
2014, the plant will remain shut down.
The first phase of redevelopment involves all
outside work -- landscaping, site servicing, equip-
ment installation and renovation and extension
of the building. Phase two is expected to start
next fall.
The steam plant was built in 1941 to provide
power for the Defence Industries Limited plant,
where more than 9,000 workers produced more
than 40 million bomb shells to help the Allied
Forces win the Second World War. The revitaliza-
tion aims to maintain the wartime history of the
plant.
The plant’s redevelopment is part of the revital-
ization of downtown Ajax.
For more information on this and other revital-
ization projects, visit www.thenewdowntowna-
jax.com.

Lorne Almack
honoured
for advocacy
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Years of working to con-
serve farmland and promote environmen-
talism are being recognized with a Queen’s
Diamond Jubilee Medal.
On Nov. 24 nearly 70 people crowded
into the Claremont home of Pickering con-
servationist Lorne Almack to congratulate
him on his new award, recognizing years
of advocacy work.
“I was quite surprised, and quite
touched,” Mr. Almack said, noting that
while his professional work hasn’t always
been in the field of conservation or envi-
ronmentalism, those causes have always
been close to his heart.
“Being an environmentalist has cost me
a lot over the years and distracted me from
other work,” he explained.
“People are concerned because if we
keep using up all the farmland, what are
we going to do? It’s not sustainable, that’s
the issue. I’m in my 90th year so it may
not affect me, but I have grandchildren
and they will need those resources that we
can’t replace.”
Mr. Almack is well-known in the local
community for his advocacy to save the
Pickering federal lands. An original mem-
ber of protest group People or Planes, Mr.
Almack is still active with Land over Land-
ings and other area organizations that
advocate for the lands to be converted to a
land trust. In the past Mr. Almack has also
served as president of Ontario Nature, and
has converted much of his own land in
north Pickering into a conservation trust.
“He’s both inspirational and very com-
mitted,” said Pickering Councillor Peter
Rodrigues, who nominated Mr. Almack
and presented him with the award.
“He doesn’t just complain about things,
he works toward positive solutions,” Coun.
Rodrigues continued. “I’ve seen Lorne
doing good work and now that he’s nearly
90 he still hasn’t given up and he’s still very
positive.”

Community on the lookout for
Good Neighbours in Pickering
A Pickering program is a great way to rec-
ognize the city’s unsung heroes.
The new Good Neighbour Awards gives
Pickering residents a chance to nominate
neighbours whose actions have benefited
the community. The intent is to have neigh-
bours recognize neighbours whose simple
acts of kindness help make Pickering a bet-
ter place to live.
“The Good Neighbour Awards program
allows us to recognize the unsung heroes
of our community,” said Mayor Dave Ryan.
“It’s important that we recognize these good
deeds. Hopefully, we can inspire other ran-
dom acts of kindness throughout Pickering.”
Perhaps the good deed comes in a series,
like shovelling snow or cutting the lawn of a
senior. Or maybe it’s a one-time thing, such
as helping a neighbour who was in a jam.
You can nominate a person, a couple or a
family as a Good Neighbour.
The City will send a letter of appreciation
from the mayor and respective ward coun-
cillors to the nominees and may share a
selection of the Good Neighbour stories on
its Facebook page.
The program will run throughout the year,
so there’s no nomination deadline.
The city is full of good people who make
good neighbours. For many, their acts are
second nature, filling a need where it exists
or helping out as required. Their goodness
and kindness should be recognized and cel-
ebrated in Pickering.
A place is only as good as its people, and
Pickering is a good place because of its good
people.
And while we rightly recognize people who
have done something extraordinary, like
pulling someone from a fire or performing
CPR on a person in distress, those situations
don’t occur all that often. But, every day,
Pickering residents go above and beyond the
call of duty. They don’t consider the time or
effort required and, if all those good deeds
could be characterized by one word, it would
be “selfless.”
The criteria states the nominee: must live
in Pickering; contributes to a positive com-
munity spirit; works toward the neighbour-
hood’s well-being and the quality of life in
the neighbourhood; works to enhance the
beauty or safety of their neighbourhood;
or, is simply a kind and helpful neighbour
whose actions have impacted you personal-
ly.
To submit an application, visit www.pick-
ering.ca, or pick up a form at City facilities
such as the Pickering Central Library, the
Pickering Recreation Complex or the Clare-
mont Community Centre.
For more information, call 905-683-7575.
Today I’m back to two of my favourite book topics -- libraries and reading recommenda-
tions.
Oshawa Public Libraries, of which I’m a member, has a new service for adult
members, a personalized reading list. If you’ve got a library card, you can take
advantage of this service and wind up with five to 10 reading suggestions, just
for you. Jennifer Green, the readers’ advisory librarian, told me about the ser-
vice and how it works. Readers fill in a short questionnaire about their reading
tastes, and submit it to library staff who then provide a tailor-made
book list within two weeks.
“Our libraries in North America have and do
offer this service and we wanted to help our
customers find some great new reads that they
might not have considered,” Ms. Green said.
Library staff will find authors and/or titles
that fit each reader’s reading tastes, she said.
I thought this sounded great and promptly
filled out the form online and submitted it. I
got my reading list within a few days, with 10
books listed. Much to my delight, there was
only one book on the list that I’d already read,
and two more are already on my to-read list.
Which means there are seven new-to-me
books to explore. And at the bottom of the list
is an invitation to let the library know if I like the suggested books or not, so staff can adjust
recommendations for me. What a great service. I’m always looking for new book rec-
ommendations, even though my to-read list is huge. There’s always room for more
books, maybe just not enough time to read them all.
If you want to try this out, the form is online at www.oshlib.ca/ra/read-
inglist.php, and there’s also a PDF form available for download at www.oshlib.
ca/pdf/adultreadinglist.pdf. You can fill out the form online and submit it the
same way, or print the PDF and take it to the library, or library staff will print it off
for you. Library staff will then analyze your information, come up with sug-
gestions and e-mail the list or leave it for you to pick up at
whatever library branch you frequent.
You can also find information about this ser-
vice on the Read, Watch, Listen section of the library’s
website. Of course, you can also head to your branch
and talk to a librarian to get some reading sugges-
tions.

DURHAM -- Cesar Millan was calm but asser-
tive on stage Saturday night as he managed to
train dogs with a lifetime of problems in just
minutes at the General Motors Centre.
The world-renowned animal behaviour
expert and star of hit television show The Dog
Whisperer, brought his Trust Your Instincts
Tour to Oshawa to give tips on how to cre-
ate happy and healthy relationships between
humans and their canine companions.
Through personal anecdotes, film clips and
live demonstrations, Mr. Millan shared ways
for owners to tune into their own, as well as
their dogs’, instincts to solve common behav-
iour problems.
“Communication creates partnership,” he
told the crowd.
He indicated harmony and balance, liv-
ing in the present, connecting with Mother
Nature and essentially, leadership, are what
dogs look for in an owner they’ll trust and
respect.
He showed that body language and sound
can have a great impact on a canine’s behav-
iour.
“What you feel becomes energy and that is
what your dog knows about you,” he said.
Mr. Millan was able to train dogs on stage,
including one that pulled on the leash and
another addicted to squeaky toys.
He showed a couple of videos where he
demonstrated the right and wrong ways to
deal with a common canine problem, sepa-
ration anxiety. “Dogs are not programmed to
be away from their family,” he said.
In the first scenario, Mr. Millan let his own
dog follow him around the house as he got
ready to leave until he finally walked out the
door and left the dog inside, causing it to
whimper and whine.
In the second clip, he instructed the dog to
rest in a comfortable place while he got ready
to leave. When the dog was calm and Mr.
Millan said goodbye and left, it was content.
Whitby resident Shelley Bailey brought her
family along to learn how to better handle
their three dogs, one of which has anxiety
issues.
“I think I’ve seen every episode,” she said of
The Dog Whisperer.
She’ll take home his lessons in body lan-
guage, and will try to live in the present when
with her dogs.
“It was really good,” she said. “I really
enjoyed it.”
The Spay Neuter Initiatives Association,
a local charity looking to set up a low-cost,
high-volume spay and neuter clinic in Dur-
ham, was given permission to hand out fly-
ers after the show to spread awareness on the
group’s goal. The volunteers also got to meet
Mr. Millan, who knows the importance of get-
ting pets spayed or neutered. President The-
resa Kean said she’s hopeful the organization
may receive some funding from Mr. Millan’s
charity, the Millan Foundation, and a letter of
reference from the trainer himself.
“It was pretty exciting,” she said.
Mr. Millan also announced his upcoming
series Leader of the Pack, in which he com-
bats canine abandonment and euthanasia,
giving dogs with behavioural issues a sec-
ond chance and coaching families wishing to
adopt them.
The Humane Society of Durham Region
will receive $1 from the sale of each ticket that
was sold for Saturday night’s event.

Toys for Tickets,
Food for Fines
returns
in December
PICKERING -- Do some good with those
parking tickets this year by providing
food or toys for families in need over
the holidays.
Pickering’s annual Toys for Tick-
ets/Food for Fines program is back
this year, allowing residents to pro-
vide toys or food in lieu of payment
for parking tickets issued between
Dec. 1 and 14.
This is the third year the City has
offered the program, which collects toys
and food for the Durham Regional Police
Food and Toy Drive.
In 2011, 59 tickets worth a total of
$1,542 in fines were paid with more than
$1,800 in donations.
Residents can pay their fines
with toys and food by taking their
donations to City Hall on Dec. 13
and 14.
A receipt must be presented to
confirm the value of the dona-
tion is equal to or greater than the
amount of the fine.
For more information visit www.
pickering.ca.

This message brought to you by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario
StopBill115.ca
IF YOU WORK IN ONTARIO, THIS IS YOUR FIGHT.
On September 11, 2012, the Ontario Liberal government passed Bill 115, the Putting Students First Act, 2012.
Bill 115 is undemocratic, unconstitutional, and unprecedented.
•It takes away the democratic rights of teachers and education professionals to bargain collectively.
•It places the government beyond the reach of the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Ontario Labour Relations Act, and even
the courts.
•It takes local decision-making away from school boards and puts it in the hands of the provincial government.
That’s why we’re standing against Bill 115. It sets a dangerous precedent for all Ontarians. In fact, the government has already
threatened other public sector workers with similar legislation.
As teachers, we teach your children to stand up for their principles. Today, we ask you to do the same.
What can you do to help?
Join us in standing up for democratic rights. Let your MPP know that Bill 115 must be repealed.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

Victoria-Bayly streets
to be widened
DURHAM -- Construction underway to widen
Ajax and Whitby’s joint Bayly and Victoria streets
is expected to cause significant traffic delays for
residents.
Daily lane restrictions are expected from 100
metres west of Shoal Point Road in Ajax, stretch-
ing to 180 metres west of Halls Road in Whitby, as
preparatory work is completed.
The work includes removing trees and shrubs,
relocating fire hydrants, building storm sewer
road crossings and installing temporary traffic
signals at the Audley and Lakeridge roads inter-
sections.
A temporary traffic detour will be built on the
south side of Bayly/Victoria Street, also known as
Regional Road 22.
Construction is being completed in two phases.
Stage one will officially begin in the spring, once
preparatory work is complete, and also includes
improvements for Lakeridge Road near Regional
Road 22. Stage one is expected to be mostly com-
plete by late fall 2013, with some restoration work
occurring in early 2014.
Once stage one is complete, and the road is
widened to Halls Road in Whitby, stage two will
begin. Stage two involves widening Victoria Street
from Halls Road to Jeffrey Street in Whitby, and is
expected to occur in 2014 and 2015.

Can I put shredded paper in the
blue box or green bin and if so
how should it be contained for
pick-up?
Larger amounts of shredded paper
can be set out in a clear plastic bag for
collection and set out with your blue
box. Smaller amounts can go into a
cereal box, tissue box, etc. and the box
can then be put directly into the blue
box for recycling.
I happened to be on my
driveway when the garbage
truck stopped to pick up my
garbage. The person loading
the truck also picked up my
green compost bin and threw
the contents into the garbage
truck as well. What is the point
of separating my waste if you’re
just going to throw it away?
Most of the garbage trucks used in
the Region are co-collection trucks.
This means they collect two different
materials in one truck. There is a
partition in the side or the back of the
hopper depending on the truck style,
which keeps the materials separated.
Although from a distance it may look
like everything is going into the same
section, please be assured the food
waste is being kept separate from
garbage.
In 2011, Durham residents diverted
almost 27,000 tonnes of food waste
from landfill. If you’re already using
your green bin, keep up the great work.
If you’re not…what are you waiting
for? Visit www.durham.ca/waste for
information on how to participate in
Durham’s Green Bin Program.
Residents in some
municipalities can dispose of
diapers in their Green bin. Are
there future plans to include
diapers in the Region’s Green
Bin program?
Diapers are not permitted in the
Region’s Green Bin program because
they contaminate the finished compost.
While disposable diapers contain a
compostable material (wood pulp), it
is the plastic content that poses the
greatest problem in the composting
process.
Diapers are generally tightly wrapped
up when disposed. When they enter
a composting facility they are either
too large to pass through the screens
and end up in landfill, or they have to
be shredded at the beginning of the
process. When material is shredded in
the beginning of the process, plastic
ends up in the finished compost.
Shredded plastic is extremely difficult
to extract later in the process. This
results in a poor quality and thus lower
grade compost.
Residents are advised to continue
disposing of diapers in the same
way as always, through their regular
garbage collection. This ensures
Durham Region continues to produce
top quality Grade A compost.
If this information is required in an
accessible format,please contact

P
Amanda English, a 37-year-old moth-
er of three, was diagnosed in April 2011
with pulmonary hypertension, called PH
for short.
The disease causes high blood pressure
in the lungs and can lead to lung arteries
becoming narrowed and scarred, caus-
ing heart failure. The disease does not
discriminate, affecting people of differ-
ent ages, sexes and social and ethnic
backgrounds.
The disease can sometimes be hard to
recognize. The Pulmonary Hyperten-
sion Association of Canada estimates
that while between 2,000 and 5,000
Canadians have been diagnosed with
PH, another 10,000 may be living with it
unknowingly.
"The only symptom I noticed was
breathlessness walking up the stairs. I'd
have to sit down at the top of our stairs
to catch my breath, and it would take a
couple minutes," Ms. English said, not-
ing she also experienced some light-
headedness and heart palpitations, add-
ing, "It just didn't seem right to me."
Because several tests are required to
diagnose PH, it took approximately six
months for her to get a diagnosis. Dur-
ing that time, she turned to the Internet
for advice, and was shocked at what she
found.
"It was scary," she said. "There's a lot
of old information and misinformation
on the Internet, and that was our main
source of information, which is probably
most people's these days."
She recommended people looking
for accurate and up-to-date informa-
tion about the disease visit www.pha-
canada.org or www.livingwithph.ca, and
encouraged people to learn more about
it.
"Life expectancy is two to three years
if it's left untreated, so that's why the
awareness is, I think, quite important,"
she said. "Pay attention to your body,
and if you're certain something's not
quite right then keep at it."
While some types of PH have known
causes, the cause of the idiopathic PH
Ms. English has is unknown.
The disease can affect people to vari-
ous degrees; on the severe end, people
with PH can require lung and/or heart
transplants. Ms. English takes approxi-
mately 20 pills a day and wears an oxy-
gen mask at all times to control her dis-
ease, for which there is no cure.
A former child life specialist at The
Hospital for Sick Children, she has been
unable to work since being hospitalized
for pneumonia following her diagnosis.
People with PH are more prone to being
hard hit by respiratory illnesses.
Even with treatment, the disease can
be hard to predict, Ms. English said.
"Another striking statistic is for some
pulmonary hypertension, the statis-
tic for survival past five years is 60 per
cent," she said.
"I know my life will be shortened by
this disease, and it's just made life all the
more precious."

ing stairs or standing up
• U for unable to breathe, or shortness of breath,
especially from physical activity
• E for edema; swelling of the ankles, legs or
abdomen
• S for syncope, which means fainting
• Symptoms can also include chest pain and

DURHAM -- Police have made a second
arrest in connection with a Durham-based
business accused of defrauding investors.
The son of a man previously charged in
what is described as a green energy scam
was arrested in Oshawa Nov. 21, Durham
police said. Police allege investors were
bilked of more than $1 million.
Durham cops began investigating Saun-
ders Power Incorporated after a nervous
investor approached them in January of
this year. Police said the Bowmanville-
based business offered corkscrew-style
wind turbines capable of generating ener-
gy that could be sold back to the Ontario
Power Authority at a profit.
Company officials produced forged doc-
uments and a fake licence to make the
business appear legitimate, police allege.
Police said 10 individuals and businesses
were defrauded of more than $1 million.
In September police charged Gregory
Saunders, 56, of Glenstroke Drive in Scar-
borough, with fraud over $5,000 and forg-
ery.
On Nov. 21 cops arrested his son, Dustin
Saunders, of Heath Crescent in Port Perry.
He’s charged with fraud over $5,000.

WHITBY -- Ralphie, not pictured, and Richie
are 11-month-old brothers. They are neutered,
domestic short-hair black cats that have been
at the shelter since April 2012. They are good
with children and dogs, and are extremely
affectionate and playful. They can’t be around
other cats because they have the feline herpes
virus. For more information, call the Humane
Society of Durham Region at 905-665-7430.

DURHAM -- Skippy would whimper and
whine nonstop until he could play with
one of his beloved toys. He’d even steal
rubber ducks from his owner’s grand-
children when they were in the bathtub.
But that didn’t happen when this dog
met Cesar Millan at the GM Centre on
Saturday night.
When Cesar took the leash from Skip-
py’s owner on stage, the dog quickly
learned to stay away from his bag of toys
and balls until he was allowed to play. As
Skippy would move toward the toys, Mr.
Millan would make calming yet asser-
tive ‘sshhht’ noises repeatedly, and the
dog would stop. When Skippy was excit-
ed, Cesar would not give him the toy, but
when he was calm, he’d let Skippy play.
Don’t reward excited behaviour;
reward calm behaviour, said the dog
whisperer.
I’ve heard criticisms of Cesar in the
past that he’s a little cold toward the
dogs he transforms, but I saw the com-
plete opposite.
He believes dogs need exercise, dis-
cipline and affection. And they need a
leader and direction. The dogs he trained
on stage did not fear him; instead, they
listened to him and seemed content in
his presence.
I tried one of his techniques on my par-
ent’s dog Ginger, and it worked. It just
takes a little patience.
Ginger is a maniac on the leash. She
barks at any dog she sees and sniffs so
much I’m surprised she hasn’t exhaust-
ed her sense of smell. She was once
booted out of dog training school.
Cesar told an owner of a dog named
Duchess, also obsessed with sniffing,
that tugging on the neck when the dog
is pulling on the leash is pointless. Dogs’
necks are numb after years of pulling.
He suggested tapping them in an area
they’re not used to, like her side, to get
her attention. He also did this in a video
clip with a dog that barked a lot.
And don’t let the point where the col-
lar and the leash connect sink to the bot-
tom of the dog’s neck. Hold the leash
so it rests on the top of the neck, which
will encourage the dog to keep its head
up. And stay calm, since dogs can sense
their owner’s energy. For Ginger, so far,
so good, but I know it will take consis-
tency.
I could see Cesar’s soft side when he
talked about his new show, Leader of the
Pack. He’s going to rehabilitate ‘unadopt-
able’ dogs that are on death row so they
can be adopted out. Swoon. And I want-
ed to hug him when he shared the story
of Holly, the only dog that’s ever sent him
to the hospital from a bite. Want to know
what he did after that? He adopted her
and gave her the training she needed. I
am now officially a fan of Cesar Millan.

was at the event, spreading awareness
about the need for a low-cost spay/neu-
ter clinic in Durham. Visit spayneuterto-

Plenty of barred owl sightings in Durham
MARGARET CARNEY
“I am attaching a photo of a siz-
able owl that I noticed last
week sitting in my cedar,”
wrote Pavel Zeman in
an e-mail. “It was about
noon and the bird was
probably dosing off, not
paying any attention to my
yard activities. I have lived in
Whitby for 17 years and have
never seen this bird -- not only
around here, but anywhere.
There are several bird feeders
in my yard, but I suspect that owl
was after catching some mice at
night.”
Pavel included a wonderful pic-
ture of a barred owl, showing its
diagnostic dark eyes, the horizontal
“barring” of brown on its throat, the
vertical streaks of brown on its breast,
its round, “ear-less” head and bulky
shape.
And so began a flutter of reports of these big for-
est-dwelling birds showing up in treed areas of
town. Diane Davidson saw one midday in the Har-
mony Creek Conservation Area dog park. Mari-
lyn Sciuk spotted an owl as she drove through
her north Oshawa neighbourhood one night, and
walked back to snap its picture. Ian Dales had one
fly into a tree behind the Bowmanville Mall when
he was out walking his dog.
I had a few phone calls reporting “big owls” as
well, and figured they were likely barred owls,
since quite a number have been sighted in natu-
ral areas along the Lake Ontario shore. Locations
aren’t usually mentioned on birding hotlines for
fear the owls will be harassed by photographers.
Any of the big northern owls that show up in
southern Ontario in winter -- barred, snowy
or great grey -- have left their home territories
because they’re hungry. In years when trees pro-
duce few seeds, populations of small rodents
crash, and predators have to go looking for food.
Juvenile birds are the first to leave, and then males.
In years of real famine, even big female owls are
driven southward. Under their fluffy feathers, visit-
ing owls are often just skin and bones.
The first hint I had of a barred owl irruption was
in early November, when a friend mentioned see-
ing a dead bird in the middle of Wentworth Street
west of the GM plant one morning. My husband
checked it out when he drove by later in the day,
by which time someone had moved it to the side of
the road. Though its head was crushed and unrec-
ognizable, body and wing feathers confirmed it
was a barred owl, one probably swooping low over
the road after a meadow vole, into the path of an
oncoming vehicle.
Dennis and I were away for a few days last week,
only to hear from a neighbour that we’d missed
some excitement -- a barred owl sitting on a fence
post in our garden in broad daylight. It was likely
after the voles nibbling our carrots and beets.

OSHAWA -- Cesar Millan, an inter-
nationally renowned dog behav-
iour expert, author and star of the
hit TV show ‘Dog Whisperer with
Cesar Millan,’ brought his Trust Your
Instincts Tour to the General Motors
Centre Nov. 24.
The holiday season is a wonderful time of year for our pets,
however it can also pose some potential health risks. Holiday
plants such as poinsettias & lilies can be toxic if eaten &
should be kept out of reach. Ingestion of Turkey bones,
tinsel or pine needles can all lead to intestinal obstruction &
damage. Some snow globes may contain anti-freeze, which
if broken & ingested can be fatal. Christmas trees should be
well anchored to prevent falling and candles should be out of
reach of pets. Be cautious of chocolate in the home as it is
toxic if eaten. Pets can also easily develop frostbite during

for long. Lastly, it is always a great idea to be
aware of an emergency clinic in your area, in
case out of hours care is needed for your pet.

ball program.
In fact, the point guard from Ajax is
going to head to Pittsburgh, Pennsylva-
nia to enrol a semester early, taking up
residence, enrolling in classes and work-
ing out with the Dukes basketball team
beginning in January. Her four-year
scholarship won’t kick in until Septem-
ber of 2013, when she will be eligible to
travel with the team and play in games.
It will be a long way from home, but
she liked the feeling of being at home
when she visited the campus.
“There’s a few Toronto girls there, so
I can have a connection to home,” she
says of what attracted her to Duquesne.
“As well, the coaches and the team are
very open. You can talk to the coaches
whenever you need to.
“It’s a great program where I feel I can
excel on the court and get better.”
The 18 year old will be the fourth Cana-
dian on the team next year, joining Pick-
ering’s Wumi Agunbiade, who served as
the host when Thomas made her official
visit to the campus.
The Ajax resident just finished her fifth
year with the senior team at Notre Dame
Catholic Secondary School, leading the
Lady Cougars to the LOSSA champion-
ship and a berth at the OFSAA provin-
cial championships, where they reached
the consolation final. During her career,
Thomas scored more than 2,000 points
while leading Notre Dame to five straight
appearances in the LOSSA final.
Those credentials impressed Duquesne
head coach Suzie McConnell-Serio.
“Brianna is very fundamentally sound
and has great versatility to her game,”
notes the coach in a press release. “She
can extend defenses, score off the drib-
ble and can also post-up. She can also
play and defend multiple positions.”
In addition to her impressive contribu-
tion to the Notre Dame program, Thom-
as played club basketball with the Ajax
Lions, Durham City, Advantage Titans,
and the A-Game program. She was
drawn to the sport by her brother, Bran-
don, whom she looked up to as a role
model. He got his fair share of attention,
eventually playing university basketball
in Alberta.
When she started to get some recogni-
tion and atten-
tion from uni-
versity recruit-
ers following a
showcase tour-
nament, it was
all very hum-
bling.
“That’s when
I thought that it
was a possibility
for me to work
hard and get a scholarship,” she says,
thinking back five years ago. “It’s hum-
bling, but it made me realize I have a gift
that I could use and grow and if I worked
hard enough at it I could get further in
life with it.
“It’s humbling to know that people
look at you and see
something in you.”
She opted to return
to Notre Dame for a
fifth year to work on
her game and grow
both on and off the
court. After two offi-
cial NCAA visits, the
other at Northeastern,
Duquesne seemed
like the best fit.
By enrolling in January, where she
will study either psychology or biology,
Thomas will be able to ease into univer-
sity life before committing full-time to the
basketball program next fall.

I feel I can excel on the

Lightning come up short
Durham
West loses to
Toronto and
Mississauga
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The Durham West Jr.
Lightning got to see how they
stack up against a couple of
the elite teams, and despite not
earning a win, coach Wayne
McDonald was satisfied with
what he saw.
Playing three times in four
days, the Lightning earned a 4-1
win in Waterloo on Sunday in a
game they expected to win. But
in the games before and after,
against tougher competition,
they came up short, falling 5-3
on Saturday to Toronto and 4-1
on Tuesday to Mississauga.
Both Toronto and Mississauga
are among the top six teams that
McDonald figures will be in the
mix at the end of the Provincial
Women’s Hockey League sea-
son, a group that he includes his
Lightning in. Playing both teams
within a four-day span gave him
an indication of where his hock-
ey club sits 15 games into the
season.
“The most important thing we
wanted to get out of it, obvious-
ly we wanted to win, but could
we compete with these teams?
And we can,” he said in answer-
ing his own question. “We didn’t
win the games, but we were able
to compete with them.
“When you are playing the
better teams you can’t afford
to make mistakes because they
end up in the back of your net.”
Against Toronto, the Light-
ning scored early in the first on a
Laura Horwood goal, but by the
end of the second, were down
4-1. Horwood’s second of the
night and another by Brittany
St. James just 33 seconds apart
within the opening two minutes
of the third period pulled the
Lightning to within one at 4-3.
But Toronto salted it away mid-
way through the period for the
5-3 final.
In Waterloo, the Lightning
were in control as Dakota Wait-
es scored twice in the second,
with Kennedy Marchment and
St. James adding third-period
markers in a 4-1 win. The Light-
ning held a 41-30 shots on goal
advantage in the game.
Back on home ice Tuesday,
the Lighting were down 2-0 after
the first period to Mississauga,
but cut the margin in half in the
second on a power-play goal by
Stephanie Cooper. Mississauga
added another before the peri-
od was out and scored again in
the third for the 4-1 final.
The Lightning sit fourth with a
10-4-0-1 record, as Whitby, Mis-
sissauga and London are ahead,
with Toronto and Aurora close
behind.
Those teams are the six that
McDonald figures will be jock-
eying for position as the season
progresses.
“We think we are going to be in
the top six when it’s all said and
done, and those are the teams
that are going to be with us. Our
goal is to split with those teams,”
said McDonald.
This weekend will bring two
home games at the Ajax Com-
munity Complex, beginning
with Burlington on Saturday at
8:30 p.m., and ending Sunday
against Kingston at 2:30 p.m.
PICKERING -- Michele Tennant,
a member of the Pickering Skat-
ing Club, successfully tested her
gold interpretive, titled Moving
Meditation.
The discipline of interpretive
skating allows skaters the oppor-
tunity to explore the performance
aspect of skating without focusing
on the technical aspect. It encour-
ages skaters to expand their
creativity, musicality and their
expression to a piece of music.
Interpretive programs can be a
complicated discipline for skaters
as there are no prescribed jumps
or spins. It is up to the skater to
convey a theme or tell a story on
the ice in a two- to three-minute
span. Tennant was able to convey
this theme to the Skate Canada
judge and become a gold skater.
She began skating at the age of
five in the Canskate program and
says skating has been a huge part
of her life for the last 11 years.
“I love the friendliness and feel-
ing of community. It has become
my second family. I love the feel-
ing of when you accomplish a
goal you have set.”
Tennant skated on the Pickering
synchronized skating team for
about three years before turn-
ing her focus onto her solo skat-
ing. She spent a lot of time focus-
ing on the discipline of dance and
recently passed the Argentine
dance. She has completed three
of the four gold dances. She has
also been a program assistant
for the past few years, helping to
teach younger skaters the basics
of skating.
“It feels awesome to be part of
their learning and watch them
progress. Who knows? Maybe one
will become a future Olympian,”
she says.
Tennant achieves gold

In Loving Memory of Linda RoachJuly 13, 1955 - Nov 28, 2011
I give you this one thought to keep -I am with you still - I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow,I am the diamond glints on snow,I am sunlight on ripened grain,I am the gentle autumn rain.When you awake in the morning's hushI am the swift, uplifting rushOf quiet birds in circled flight.I am the soft stars that shine at night.Do not think of me as gone -I am with you still - in each new dawn.
Not a single day goes by that we don't stop and think about you, shed a tear and try to ignore the deep emptiness we feel. The void you have left in our lives will never be filled.
