SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND Public meeting in Pickering asks for suggestions on what to do with remaining lands MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Questions still remain about the future of the federal lands, despite a recent government announce- ment aimed at clearing up uncertainty. At a public information session at Glen Cedars Golf Club on June 24, Transport Canada had few new details to share apart from what was announced ear- lier in the month, namely that 5,000 acres would be transferred to the Rouge National Urban Park, and that a new quadrant in the southeast corner of the lands would be designated for an air- port. What was open to suggestion, however, were uses for the remaining lands. “The designated airport site hasn’t been clarified yet,” said Michael Ste- phenson, acting regional director, gen- eral Ontario region for Transport Cana- da. “This is a good opportunity to allow tenants on the Pickering lands to ask questions, obviously they have a lot of questions and that’s fair,” he said. “We’re also asking for feedback on what they think should be done with the remaining lands,” he continued, point- ing to lands not included in the airport parcel or the park.

Courses Starting: July 6, 9 & 23, Aug 6, 20 & 27 Cancer rates normal around Pickering, Darlington nuclear stations Doctor questions results of ‘weak’ study KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A study the Canadian Nucle- ar Safety Commission calls “ground- breaking” found there’s no childhood leukemia clusters around nuclear sta- tions, including Pickering and Darling- ton. However, Cathy Vakil, a family doctor in Kingston and a member of the Canadi- an Association of Physicians for the Envi- ronment, said the study is weak and the results diluted. The Radiation and Incidence of Cancer Around Ontario Nuclear Power Plants from 1990 to 2008 study (the “RADICON” study) concluded, “Overall, for all ages, there is no consistent pattern of cancer across the populations in question living near the three facilities studied. Some types of cancer in the communities stud- ied were higher than expected (excess cancer); however, many types of cancer were lower than expected.” According to the study, the most com- mon cancers in Durham Region are lung and bronchus (windpipe), female breast, colon and rectum, bladder, leukemia, thyroid and stomach. The study looked at cancer rates in a 25-kilometre radius around the Pickering, Darlington and Bruce nuclear stations. “All cancers for all age groups are well within the natural variation of the dis- ease in Ontario. Thus, radiation is not a plausible explanation for any excess can- cers observed within 25 kilometres of any Ontario NPP (nuclear power plant),” the study noted. Patsy Thompson, director general, envi- ronmental and radiation protection and assessment for the CNSC, said, “There’s no cause for concern about the radiation you’re getting. It’s very, very low doses.” The commission decided to do the study in 2011, when hearings were held in Clarington about building new reac- tors next to the Darlington facility. “During the three weeks of hearings, many intervenors were asking for a health study to be done,” Ms. Thompson said. Health groups had done studies show- ing no increase in cancers, but “it didn’t seem to be sufficient. We had internal discussions about that.” Data was collected by the Province and then given to the federal health department. She noted the data isn’t the CNSC’s. “It (the leukemia rate) is lower or the same as the rest of the province,” Ms. Thompson said. “Others cancers, some were low and some high.” Radiation levels around nuclear sta- tions are about the same as natural back- ground radiation, she added. The CNSC used an ecological study approach, in which raw cancer data was examined by comparing cancer rates around the station to a stable popula- tion, in this case the rest of the province, she said. “When we started the study, we didn’t know what we’d find. The data isn’t the CNSC’s. We expected to see a variabili- ty. That’s the strength of the study,” Ms. Thompson said. She noted Durham Region’s health department had done studies showing no increased risk of cancer by living near a nuclear station. “The most important finding of the RADICON study is that there is no evi- dence of childhood leukemia clusters around the three Ontario NPPs. The rates of cancer incidence for children aged 0–4 and aged 0–14 were similar to the gener- al Ontario population.” Dr. Vakil said an ecological study is the “weakest form” of study being done. The study was “basically counting up the cancer cases” within the radius, she added. “The real concern that prompted this study is childhood leukemias. A Euro- pean cancer study was much more in depth. It looked at five kilometres,” Dr. Vakil said. The study results were “diluted out to 25 kilometres. It’s not really surprising they didn’t find them. (Cancers) might still be there,” she added. “An ecological study is fast and quick and probably the cheapest. It doesn’t say anything at all about the causes. If there’s elevated cancers, they should go on and do more study. They found elevated rates of leukemia in adults and thyroid can- cer. Those are caused by radiation. Most authors would have concluded this needs more study,” Dr. Vakil said. She noted the study doesn’t call for more investigation. “The public should not at all be comfortable with the study.” ‘‘An ecological study is fast and quick and probably the cheapest. It doesn’t say anything at all about the causes. If there’s elevated cancers, they should go on and do more study.’ Dr. Cathy Vakil 0010203040506 Ri s k F a c t o r Tobacco Diet/Obesity/Physical activity Occupation/ Environment Family history Biological agents Perinatal effects/growth Causes of cancer in developed countries Alcohol Reproductive factors Radiation/sunlight Other/unknown Per cent Metroland graphic 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 • Ju n e 2 6 , 2 0 1 3 3 AP NOW OPEN!

Pickering man chases, catches theft suspect PICKERING -- A Pickering resident took the law into his own hands early Monday, chasing down and apprehending a youth accused of breaking into cars. The Avonmore Square resident went out- doors to check out suspicious activity at about 3:30 a.m. and saw a group of males had entered his vehicle, Durham police said. When the suspects scattered, the man gave chase, pursuing one youth who dis- carded stolen property as he fled. The man finally caught the teen, who was in possession of a pair of scissors, and held him for police. Police took the youth, who was intoxicat- ed and had an abrasion on his forehead, to be checked at hospital. He was later charged with theft, possession of stolen property and trespassing. Stolen property was recovered from the scene and police believe there may be more victims.

Here we go again with the government not caring about the people, only caring about the multi-billion dollar corporations that will make money out of this deal. Yes we need jobs but at what price? Why not train people to be farmers to produce food for us? There will always be a need for farming as there will always be a need for food. Someday there will be no farmland left and people will be starving. What about generations from now; what will they eat? Never mind the farmland that will be gone but the wildlife that will be affected. Think about the chain of life, it starts at the bottom and ends with humans. Every species that disappears will affect the next one up the chain and eventually affect humans. No matter what government is in power they are all the same, to hell with you and me, let’s just make the rich richer. Mary Wells Pickering Durham students keep vets’ memories alive Next year, hundreds of Canadian students, including pupils from Durham Region, are going to France and Italy to mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day and the Liberation of Rome. David Robinson, a retired Port Perry High School teacher and current national advi- sor and co-ordinator with Education First Tours Canada, is organizing the trip and it will once again be a memorable and even an emotional journey for our students. Canadian troops played key roles in both the invasion of France and the liberation of the Eternal City in the Second World War. On June 6, 1944, Canadian soldiers stormed the Normandy beach, code-named Juno, suffering more than 300 troops killed yet advancing further on that day than their British and American allies. Largely overshadowed by D-Day and the subsequent operations in France, it’s impor- tant also to remember the bloody and bru- tal Italian campaign and the almost 6,000 Canadians who died. For many students, these historic events are stories in a book, stories of events that took place long ago and far away. Yet when young people from Oshawa or Ajax or Clar- ington walk on the beach at Normandy or see the graves of hundreds of Canadi- ans at the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Monte Cassino, history will become not just places in a book but actual places with incredible significance to our country. To make the experience more memora- ble and personal to them and connect our young people to the Canadian men who fought in France and Italy, each student will be matched with the name of a soldier who died at Monte Cassino or on Juno Beach so they can research the person. No doubt they will be struck by how young most of these men were, and how war took away their futures. As Mr. Robinson noted, “At some point on this trip, the students will get it,” and these are memories they will certainly carry with them forever and pass along. He also noted how, from the veterans’ perspective, it’s important for them to see our young people at these historic sites, learning about what happened and why. Second World War veterans, most of whom are in their 90s, are fading from history. But through this tour and others, their sacrifices and achievements will never be forgotten by a new generation of grateful Canadians. Metroland Durham’s Whitby reporter Par- vaneh Pessian is making the trip with local students and we look forward to sharing with you what she and our young people experience. Commenting function gets a makeover Earlier this year Managing Editor Mike Johnston announced in his column that he’d had enough of the trolls who take great glee in penning hateful comments on our website, durhamregion.com. Having struggled for some time with man- aging racist and off-colour comments left by a few commenters, we decided to restrict commenting on most of our online crime sto- ries. Crime stories do tend to bring out the most inappropriate comments from people who are quick to stereotype and condemn. This week we are rolling out a redesigned durhamregion.com that includes changes to commenting. If you currently have an account on our website, you will have to cre- ate a new one for the redesigned site. Sorry, but the move is significant and our develop- ers weren’t able to carry over old accounts. It will just take you a minute. Registering will allow you to publish local event listings, send us story ideas, submit articles, photos and video for possible publi- cation online -- and comment on our content. You’ll be asked for your first and last name -- it’s the first name that appears beside your comment -- as well as your postal code and an e-mail address. And, you will have the ability to comment on an online crime story. Beside each comment will be a red exclamation mark and the words ‘MARK AS OFFENSIVE’. This should be used to report inappropriate behaviour and language, not to simply disagree. When the button is clicked it will trigger an e-mail directly to our news- room. An editor will review the comment and do one of two things: confirm the comment is offensive which will immediately archive it and remove it from view, or mark the com- ment as acceptable which will remove the ability for anyone else to flag it as offensive. We will not edit comments, they will either be accepted, or not accepted. Let’s have some great conversations, but please be respectful of the opinion of others. -- Joanne Burghardt is Editor-in-Chief of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region division Joanne Burghardt Editor-in-Chief Changes Send us your letters to the editor Salt of the earth here on the Rock C ourtesy of The Republic of Doyle, I had a mini-vacation in St. John’s, Newfoundland this past week. I’ve been to the Rock a num- ber of times before but not in many years. I’d forgotten how magical the place is. I’ve also had a painful reminder of how hilly St. John’s is. It makes San Francisco look like Regina. After a week of hiking up and down streets so pitched you need pitons to climb them, I’m experiencing the odd sensation of having the knees of Wilford Brimley, but the rock-hard butt of a ballet dancer. It’s no secret Newfoundlanders like their tipple. Anyone requiring evidence of this need only take a stroll down George Street, a picturesque, cobbled avenue with the dubious reputation of having more bars per square foot than any other thoroughfare in North America. I have no trouble with that statistic. George Street is like Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory for alcoholics. You can lit- erally fall down drunk out of one establish- ment and land in a chair of another. There are bars on top of bars. Bars underneath bars. Bars within bars. It’s remarkable. Fortunately too, George Street runs along one of the few relatively flat stretches in St. John’s, making it one of the safest places to fall down from inebriation. Some watering holes, including the famed Duke of Duck- worth, are located in incredibly steep, nar- row laneways that run up and down the hills connecting parallel streets. A misstep from one pint too many and you’re on a one- way tumble to the harbour. Unless the jeans you’re wearing have air bags, you’ll be in a world of hurt. The upside is that if you should come to harm, you won’t be short on help. New- foundlanders are without question the friendliest people I have ever met. This was true 27 years ago on my first trip here and it’s just as evident now. I never tire of walk- ing into a restaurant, store or pub and being greeted with ‘Hello my love’ or ‘Good morn- ing my dear’. And that’s just the men. People smile at you on the street here. And, unlike Toronto, where it’s a prudent idea to fill out a living will before crossing the street, driv- ers here will happily stop from hundreds of yards away at the merest suggestion of a pedestrian crossing in front of them. It’s a very, very different place. The weather, of course, does take some getting used to. The Atlantic Ocean is a fick- le mistress and she loves to play havoc with the environment. You can literally begin a day shivering in a parka and finish up in a thong. At least I did ... ah, George Street. But I digress. Fortunately, if things do get a tad nippy around here, the local fare is per- fectly designed to take the chill out of your bones. My new best friend is something called ‘Scrunchions’ which Newfoundland- ers serve with almost anything. Scrunchions are salted pork fat, cut into pieces and fried. Once you taste them, you can die ... and you probably will. Finally, one of the things that I find most enchanting about this place and its people is the musicality of their language. Newfound- landers, especially those who have been born and raised here and not been away much, have a Celtic lilt and a colloquial vernacular that I find irresistible.

I work in a class for students with Autism and we had the privilege of attending this amazing event they put together for peo- ple with special needs. Each participant gets to ride the track in a race car, there were many free crafts and activities to keep everyone occupied, as well as a won- derful lunch. FREE!

This was an opportunity so many of our students would never have had a chance to experience without this program.

Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division is working on a summer news feature focusing on Lyme disease.

Mr. Stephenson said that type of planning is still a few years away. For hundreds of residents who came to the meeting armed with questions, few answers were available. “There’s not a lot to offer here, it’s very difficult to even get to someone to ask a question,” said Ian Bezubiak, a resident of the federal lands, of the packed room, where large crowds formed around several repre- sentatives of Transport Canada stationed at information boards. “I’m concerned about what they’re proposing to do with the land between the proposed airport and the park- land, and why the community wasn’t bet- ter informed,” he explained. “This has been going on my entire life and I haven’t had any answers.” Pickering councillors Peter Rodrigues and David Pickles were also on hand to find out more, but came away empty-handed. “I was hoping to learn something new but I don’t see anything,” Coun. Pickles said, not- ing he was looking for information on an envi- ronmental assessment, plans for community input or an updated business case. “Hundreds of residents attended and were frustrated that there was no new informa- tion, no presentation or opportunities to have questions and concerns answered. I would like to see a through assessment in an open public process on both the airport and the other lands.” Others just wanted to show their support. “The flight paths go over our home so we have some concerns there, as well as envi- ronmental concerns,” said Uxbridge resident Anna Marie Leitner, who came out to the meeting with her daughter Chloe, who is in Grade 5. “I was upset a lot for the environment and for people losing their homes,” Chloe said. “I don’t know what to think.” Other were interest- ed to learn more about the plan and saw it as a possible opportu- nity for the region. “I see the environmental issues but at the same time this is a good opportunity,” said Ajax res- ident Amanda Moyer. “There’s not a lot of opportunities for jobs here, it’s mostly retail and restaurants, these would be high-paying jobs.” Future of the Pickering lands Although no details were available on what type of airport residents could expect to see in the future, Michael Stephenson, acting regional director, general Ontario region for Transport Canada, said planning would stem from past reports. “Right now we’re sitting on work the GTAA did back in 2004,” he said, referring to the almost 10-year-old Pickering Airport Draft Plan Report, which called for an international airport built in phases to support forecasts of 11.9 million passengers, 151,000 air craft carrier movements, 480,000 general aviation aircraft movements and 297,000 tonnes of air cargo by 2032. “International airport just means aircraft are coming from another country, it can still be a small airport,” Mr. Stephenson said, citing the Kitchener/Waterloo airport as an example. The more recent Needs Assessment Study, released in 2011 and calling for an airport on the land by 2027 at the earliest, will also be used, although Mr. Stephenson said updates will be needed. “As we move closer to the date when we actually need an airport we will do some work to con- firm the statistical data in the studies. We will revalidate those numbers for sure.” He estimated it would be a few years before any concrete details on a future air- port are decided.

The wary veterinarian approached the even warier zebra -- they eyed each other like adver- saries in a knife fight -- and when she saw an opening, deftly lunged, jabbing the hypo-full of sedatives into the animal’s neck. The zebra reared and danced side- ways, hooves flailing. The vet retreated in kind. There followed a period of calmness; there was no sound as the agitated zebra’s tail swished. The silence was broken, finally, by the unnerving cry of a peacock: “Graaaawk.” “There,” the veterinarian, Michele Travers, said to the zebra. “That’s gonna make you sleepy.” The zebra’s eyes began to droop. His tail twitched less frequently as a drug-induced calmness overtook him. Dr. Travers drew a breath and exhaled. Already this morning she had wrestled the zebra, examined an itchy guinea pig and prepared an under- standably unwilling pony for gelding. “OK,” she said. “Let’s see about that camel.” This was not a typical morning for Dr. Travers, a Claremont-based vet whose prac- tice is centred primarily around horses and small animals. But for the past five years she has also tended to the denizens of Nova’s Ark, a unique farm in the countryside out- side Brooklin. Owner Mary-Ann Nova, a retired elemen- tary school principal and special education facilitator, established Nova’s Ark in 2005 with a vision of welcoming visitors of all ages and abilities to commune with beasts great and small. Visitors include students from area schools and clients of special-needs programs, all of whom are encouraged to enjoy the sooth- ing company of animals. Ms. Nova’s menag- erie has grown over the years to include more than 200 animals representing some 90 species. “The reason we have such a wide range of animals is because we have such a wide range of clients,” Ms. Nova said on a sunny Friday morning in June. “The animals cre- ate a bridge to becoming more open and accepting.” Not every vet is willing to deal with a menagerie whose members range from alpaca to zebra. “This is not a typical farm,” Ms. Nova said. “I need someone who is tolerant and patient.” As she spoke the vet stood nearby, exam- ining a guinea pig that had been scratching at its hide. Discussion turned to the camel. Google weighs 2,000 pounds and, when his neck is fully extended, stands about 10 feet tall. He’s docile and friendly, with gentle brown eyes and an apparent affinity for people. But still -- 2,000 pounds. The vet must prepare for whatever reaction occurs when she jabs a needle into his hide. “It’s gonna have to be run in, jab -- and leave,” Ms. Nova suggested. Years ago Michele Travers didn’t envi- sion wrangling zebras and camels, but life is funny like that. Born in the U.S., she spent her formative years in Sudbury, where as a girl she fell in love with horses. Years later that infatuation was put to practical use when she decided to pursue a career as a veterinarian. Doctor to the wild and woolly Dr. Travers, 59, established her practice in 1993, focusing on equine care and small domesticated animals. Her association with Nova’s Ark began several years ago with small animal care and expanded over time. “Mary-Ann would call and say, ‘I have a South American raccoon to neuter. Want to take it on?’” she recalled. Dr. Travers and Ms. Nova have invested much time in researching the care required by the ever-growing population at Nova’s Ark. The vet is cognizant of the fact she’s dealing with wild animals. “You have to be brave to do it, but not stu- pid,” Dr. Travers said. “You get hurt when you’re not aware enough of what they’re capable of.” But these challenges, and the opportunity to work with creatures that would not nor- mally be part of her practice, appeal to Dr. Travers. She realizes many of her colleagues might not be so eager. “Not everybody wants to go out and get killed by a zebra,” she observed. After the zebra and pony were cared for, it was time for Google the camel. The massive beast was led out of its pen to a patch of grass where, guided by quiet commands from Ms. Nova, it sank slow- ly down, long legs folding like some odd, furry machine. Google sat impassively as Dr. Travers approached with a needle. Stealthily she neared the beast, jabbed it with rabies vaccine and -- apparently recall- ing Ms. Nova’s earlier advice -- bounded away. Google snorted and a cloud of spittle and hay blasted out of his nostrils. He cast a calm glance at the retreating vet. The day’s work, really, had just begun. DURHAM -- Claremont Veterinary Services vet Dr. Michele Travers tried to sedate a zebra at Nova’s Ark. The team spent the day tending to the exotic animals at the farm, part of a summer camp for children with special needs.

As head of Canadian and world studies at Port Perry High School for 30 years, he knew his history like the back of his hand, but nothing compared to being at the site of one of Canada’s greatest battles. “There are all sorts of different emo- tions you experience, including pride and remembrance, and it’s a very, very spe- cial moment,” says Mr. Robinson, a retired teacher and current national advisor and co-ordinator with Education First Tours Canada. For nearly 50 years, the company has strived to bring the pages of history books to life through educational tours of interna- tional destinations for students and teach- ers around the world. Next year, he will be organizing a trip for hundreds of students across Canada to France and Italy on a journey to commem- orate the 70th anniversary of D-Day and the Liberation of Rome. Durham schools that will be participat- ing include Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School, All Saints Catholic Secondary School, Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Sec- ondary School, Ajax High School and Clar- ington Central Secondary School. During next year’s tour, students will visit Juno Beach and the nearby Canadian museum and cultural centre, the Common- wealth War Cemetery in Monte Cassino, Italy and the Vimy Memorial, and will take part in the 70th anniversary ceremonies for D-Day on June 6, 2014. “What’s interesting is that Rome was lib- erated on the same day as D-Day so in the footnotes of history, Rome has been kind of lost a little bit because of the allied opera- tion in Normandy on D-Day,” says Greg Owen, vice-president of public affairs and event tours at EF Educational Tours. As part of the trip, each student will be matched with the name of a soldier who died in Monte Cassino or on Juno Beach and they will have the opportunity to research who they were, where they came from, and where they’re buried. Whether it’s a feeling of pride for the hero- ic efforts displayed by Canadian soldiers or an overwhelming sense of grief for all those who lost their lives, the experience promis- es to leave students with memories they will cherish forever.

Initially I had grilling in mind (meatball, potato and pepper kebabs). Unfortunately I knew we were in for some nasty rain, hence I followed my backup plan. My version of Chorizo Meatballs is a hearty and versatile dish that can be served with potatoes, rice, a side salad, crusty bread or as a famous tapa, an appetizer which Spain is famous for. Enjoying a lovely Sangria drink and a few tapas in their beautiful city is a moment that has been etched in this foodie brain forever. Since I had four tapas already dished out for guests, I chose to do a full meal meatball deal for the main, served family style but you could pop it up a notch by making it fancier depending on your dinner party style. Meatball ingredients: 1 lb ground pork 4 lbs ground beef (extra lean) 4 Andouille s a u s a g e s (remove from casing) 6 cloves garlic – minced 1 teaspoon spicy chili powder 5 teaspoon smoked paprika 3 teaspoon oregano Fresh ground pepper & salt Sauce ingredients: 1⁄2 can crushed tomatoes 15 – 20 stuffed green olives (optional) 10 Campari tomatoes (quartered) Top with parsley leaves, or chives Directions: Add garlic and dried spices to meat. Mix very well with your hands, and then make medium sized meatballs. (Because I made 48, I precooked them a bit in the oven in 2 batches on large tray. Salt the tops of the meatballs with sea salt, then cook for 5 minutes each side at 370.) Saute your tomatoes with 1⁄2 can of crushed tomatoes Add your meatballs to the mixture. Gently stir and simmer for 10 minutes. Serving immediately is ideal to not over- cook the meat, however, when serving 12 guests with all of the other goodies, I had to reheat, so the meatballs were a little drier but keep in mind, there are no addi- tives or bread. The flavor is there and you can tweak the spice according to your taste buds etc. Visit whatscookingindurham.ca/myspanishparty for other recipes to accompany this dish.

The oldest of the two siblings, Alexis, 17, will be running track for the Coppin State University Eagles in Baltimore, Maryland for the next four years after accepting a scholarship, the end result to an ambition she started to entertain five or six years ago. Younger sister Alyssa, 12, isn’t sure about what direction she would like to go after high school, only certain that a career in fashion design interests her. But it wouldn’t be a surprise if one day she is faced with the same kind of decision as her sister, considering at this year’s DEAA track and field meet, the Grade 7 student at Terry Fox Public School broke a record of Alexis’s in the 200m. “Believe it or not, we don’t have a rival- ry,” says Alexis of the relationship the two share. “I’m actually happy my records are going down by her. If they are going to be broken, I’d rather it be by my sister than somebody else.” Alyssa says she didn’t set out with the goal of erasing her sister’s name, and put- ting her own in the record books. “The person who was in charge of the meet told me I broke it and I was very happy,” says the Grade 7 student. Setting records in public school was just the start for Alexis, who has travelled the world to compete in the 100, 200 and 400- metre sprint distances, visiting Jamaica twice, Trinidad and Tobago, Pennsylvania three times, Winnipeg and several provin- cial meets. Originally a member of the I Be Fast track club in Scarborough, she switched to the Oshawa-based Durham Legion Athlet- ics club in 2007. It was while overhearing a conversation among teammates who were on scholarship at the time that she decid- ed that was the path she wanted to follow. “I always knew I wanted to go away. Once Grade 9 came, I knew I wanted to get a scholarship,” says the Notre Dame stu- dent. “Three of my teammates went away for school and I heard them talk about the experience. It added more to my motiva- tion to go away.” She went on three official visits, but it was Coppin State that interested her the most. “The first thing I was looking at was their academic program. I want to go into crim- inal justice so I wanted to make sure their program was a good fit for me,” she says. “Coppin had the academic program and the track program and it’s not too far from home.” She credits her parents with helping her along the way, as her dad has served as her coach since the age of eight, with a couple of other coaches at York Universi- ty also guiding her. The scholarship came with the help of NCSA Athletic Recruiting, which help students be proactive in the recruiting process. Alyssa may benefit from her sister’s experience when her time comes. She won gold at the Hershey track and field games last year and silver the year before in the 200m. In addition to breaking Alex- is’s record in the 200m, she also broke a 100m record that had stood for 26 years. She holds the 200m record in the midget, bantam and junior age divisions. AJAX -- Alexis Marsh, left, has accepted a scholarship to run track for Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland. Her younger sister Alyssa broke Alexis’s 200m record at the DEAA championships during this year’s track-and-field event. Jason lieBregts / Metroland Bickell plays key role in Stanley Cup win ORONO -- It looks like the Stanley Cup will be back in Orono this summer, and this time Bryan Bickell’s name will be among those engraved upon it. Bickell was instrumental in the lat- est win for the Chicago Blackhawks, who stormed back from a late 2-1 deficit Mon- day night to defeat the Boston Bruins 3-2 and win their second Cup in four years. The 27-year-old Orono native scored the tying goal with 1:16 remaining in regulation time Monday, his ninth goal of the playoffs. He played a much lesser role in 2010, and was denied getting his name on the Cup because he didn’t play a game in the final, and had dressed for only 16 regular season games. Not only did Bickell play in every sin- gle game this time around, both regular season and playoffs, but he brought his game to a whole new level at the right time, matching his regular season goal production in the post-season. He couldn’t be reached by phone Tuesday, but a blog on nhl.com captured his emotions well. “This is unbelievable. Words can’t even describe what winning this Stanley Cup feels like,” he wrote. “Man, it was a roller-coaster. I don’t think there has ever been a Stanley Cup Final like that played before, but we couldn’t be happier to be a part of it. “To score the equalizer -- wow. That’s about all I can say. Wow.” Bickell, a bruising six-foot-four, 223- pound left winger, battled a knee injury -- and Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara -- without getting a point in the first three games of the final, but had four through the final three games, and finished the playoffs with 17 points in 23 games, just two back of teammate and Conn Smythe Trophy winner Patrick Kane. Bickell scored the equalizer Monday off a brilliant feed from captain Jonathan Toews. He then watched from the bench as David Bolland notched the winner just 17 seconds later. ORONO -- Bryan Bickell brought the Stanley Cup to his hometown of Orono in 2010, and will likely be doing the same this summer after his Chicago Blackhawks beat the Boston Bruins. Watch video with Three Pickering players sign with Whitby Fury WHITBY -- The Whitby Fury have added some young talent to its roster for the 2013- 14 Ontario Junior Hockey League season. Adam Clements is a five-foot-nine, 160- lb. defenceman from the Hill Academy prep team. The Pickering resident had 18 goals and 50 assists with his team and was an amazing +37. Jeremy Wu completes the defence- men commitments. A six-foot-one, 193-lb. Pickering resident, he played for Northwood Prep in Lake Placid, NY, last season. Keegan Cairns is a six-foot-one, 175-lb. Uxbridge resident who played for Dan West’s Uxbridge Bruins Jr. C team last season and had 18 goals and 19 assists in 46 games. Mitch Emerson is a Pickering resident. The six-foot-one, 175-lb. forward led his Hill Academy team in goals with 31 and also had 40 assists. Coach Craig Fisher said he’s pleased about the additions. “I see a ton of potential in all these young men and look forward to aiding in their development both on and off the ice and ultimately helping them towards fulfilling their dreams of reaching the next level. I’m very excited about adding these players into the Fury dressing room as every one of these guys are team-first character players.” 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 • Ju n e 2 6 , 2 0 1 3 15 AP NEW!NEW!DISCOVER IMPROVE ACHIEVE Oshawa: 200 John St. W. oshawatrucking.com � �� 4-month internship with leading-edge transportation companies � �� Introduction to Supply Chain & Logistics � �� Commercial Driver Improvement (Defensive Driving) Course Certificate � Air Brake Training � 50 hours of one-on-one in-cab instruction � Training on state-of-the-art 3D simulators 40WEEKS PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORT OPERATOR � �� Air Brake Training � Commercial Driver Improvement (Defensive Driving) Course Certificate � Preparation for AZ Class license � Training on state-of-the-art 3D simulators 8WEEKS TRACTOR-TRAILER (AZ) Member of:Delivered inPartnership with: Courses include a diploma from theTruck Training Schools Association of Ontario (TTSAO).

We are very proud of you, Love Mom and Dad LAURIER UNIVERSITY SAM P L E DAVIS, DWIGHT Nelson - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Dwight Nelson Davis on June 13, 2013. His unexpected automobile accident caused his death to be instant and did not impact others. Dwight leaves behind his daughter Dorion Davis, his step daughters Rebecca, Jessica and Sarah, his sister Tina and his niece Natasha and nephews Jordan and Jacob. He will also be greatly missed by Gwen and Diane and many friends and extended family members. Dwight's recent passion led him to travel the world with a paddle to compete representing Canada in Dragon Boat Racing tournaments. In addition to his profession as a real estate agent, Dwight was a lean-mean-blading-machine, photographer, dancer, musician and philosopher. His sense of humor and light- hearted playfulness infused every aspect of his life. Hugs and laughter were passed out to all who crossed his path. He was a lover of life and a defender of people and animals. His wishes were not to have a funeral and therefore a memorial gathering and celebration of his life will be arranged for September. If you would like to attend please send your contact details to gatheringfordwight@gmail.com. Love and Light. YOUNG, Ella (Isabella) With sadness we announce the passing of Ella on Sunday June 23, 2013 in her 88th year.
