Women’s
Lacrosse World
Cup in full swing
at Oshawa Civic
Games began on July
11 and will continue until
final match on July 20
Parvaneh Pessian

WHITBY -- National pride was on display
during the 2013 women’s world lacrosse
championships in Oshawa on Saturday as
fans from Scotland and Germany cheered on
their teams.
“I’ve got about 10 friends playing today so
I’m here to support them,” said Richie Wire,
who flew in from Scotland on July 10, just in
time for the tournament.
Oshawa is the first Canadian city to host the
Federation of International Lacrosse World
Cup and features world-class facilities at the
recently renovated Civic fields. During the 10
days of the competition, the city will welcome
more than 25,000 spectators and about 500
players from 19 national teams.
Colin and Alison Clark were at the venue
on July 13 supporting their daughter Susan,
who’s playing for Scotland.
“It’s quite a minority sport in Scotland but
we’d like to see it developing ... it’s much big-
ger I think in Canada and the United States
and you can tell with the excellent facilities
here,” said Ms. Clark.
Their daughter has been playing lacrosse
for about 16 years and they say they’ve always
enjoyed watching the games.
“It’s good for them to have some support
and it’s a great game to watch,” Ms. Clarke
said.
“The girls are incredibly fit and we have a
great deal of admiration for them -- they train
really, really hard.”
Over on the other side, Horst and Maryanne
Schulte of Germany were there supporting
their daughter and were also impressed with
the Oshawa facility.
“It’s a very nice facility for the girls to play --
very clean and lots of space,” said Mr. Schulte.
The couple will be staying in Canada for a
total of five weeks and hope to take in all the
sights, much like many of the other visitors.
“We’ll leave on Saturday after the final but
in the meantime, we’re going to make sure we
see Niagara Falls, the CN Tower and do lots of
shopping,” said Natalie Carter, a teacher from
St. Catherine’s School in England, here sup-
porting her country.
The teams are divided into four pools,
including the elite teams in Pool A: Canada,
the United States, Australia, England and
Wales. Ireland, New Zealand, Netherlands,
Latvia and Finland will be in Pool B while
Japan, Haudenosaunee, Austria, Hong Kong
and Sweden make up Pool C and Scotland,
Germany, Korea and Israel are in Pool D.
Petra Baier, who teaches German at a high
school in Scarborough, won tickets to the
tournament after entering a contest through
the German consulate.
“I didn’t even know that the Germans had
a lacrosse team but when I won the tickets,
I thought it would be nice to support them,”
she said.
“I’m really enjoying watching it -- it’s
extremely fast and I think you need a lot of all-
round skills to participate.”
Matthew and Christian Dryden of Wales,
who are in Canada supporting their daughter
Iona, were also at Saturday’s game.
“We’re just kind of checking out the oppo-
sition because Wales will play Scotland a few
times so we’re seeing how they’re doing,” said
Mr. Dryden.
Iona, 18, has been playing lacrosse since
she was 11 and her parents have supported
her along the way.
“She was quite keen that we should come
so we decided to make the trip,” said Ms.
Dryden.
The couple has been enjoying their time
here so far, recently canoeing in Algonquin
Park, but say watching the tournament has
been the highlight thus far.
“It’s a tremendous spectator sport,” said Mr.
Dryden. “The matches we’ve seen have been
very exciting, full of tension and nail-biting
finales.”
The Games began on July 11 and will con-
tinue through to the gold medal match on
Saturday, July 20 at 3 p.m. For more informa -
tion or to purchase tickets, visit the web-
site.

APPolice briefs
Chopper cops, canine team track
Pickering break-in suspects
PICKERING -- Chopper cops, officers on the ground
and a canine team teamed up to nab suspects after a
break-in early Friday in rural Pickering.
Three Oshawa residents are charged in the inci-
dent, which occurred at about 1:20 a.m. July 12. Dur-
ham police responding to a report of a break-in in the
vicinity of Columbus and Lakeridge roads arrived to find
suspects had fled, leaving behind a vehicle.
The Air 1 helicopter and a canine team were called
in to track suspects, who were eventually apprehended
after a search of fields and marsh lands. Cops recov-
ered property including antiques and family heirlooms
in the vehicle.
Charged with break and enter and trespass by
night are Oshawa residents Vicky Peel, 38, of Oxford
Street, Donald Hall, 44, of Loring Street, and Jayson
Pearn, 39, of Oxford Street.
Van driver flees scene
of Ajax accident
DURHAM -- Police are looking for a driver who fled the
scene of a two-vehicle collision that left a 39-year-old
woman with serious injuries.
Around 3 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10, a van driven
by a man was westbound on Kingston Road when the
driver made a sudden left turn, cutting off eastbound
traffic and hitting a Mazda 3 car. The van driver fled
south on Ritchie Avenue at a high rate of speed, Dur-
ham Regional Police report.
The female driver of the Mazda suffered serious
but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the
Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital for treatment.
The van is white, possibly a GMC Safari work van
with solid rear doors and the word SERVICE written in
black lettering near the rear. It’s thought damages from
the collision would be on the passenger side of the
van.
The driver is described as a white male in his 30s.
Anyone with more information or who may have
witnessed this collision is asked to contact Constable
Alex McMillan of West Division at 1-888-579-1520, ext.
2521.

known to one another. Officers nabbed a man after the
woman, in her early 20s, called 911 at about 1 a.m.
Sunday to report a man peering through her window in
the vicinity of Sandy Beach Road and Bayly Street.
During the course of the investigation it was

mal smoke damage through open windows,
but otherwise remained unscathed.

AP Ajax man seeks
return of stolen
family photos
Thieves ‘grabbed my
memories’ says victim
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- An Ajax man has issued an
appeal for the return of irreplaceable fam-
ily photos, including pictures of his recently
deceased father, that were stolen along with a
digital camera from his truck Sunday night.
“They grabbed something that really
hurt me,” John Stephens said July 15. “They
grabbed my memories.”
Mr. Stephens’s unlocked pickup was tar-
geted by thieves at his home in the Rossland
and Westney roads area sometime between
8 p.m. Sunday and 7:30 a.m. Monday, Dur-
ham police said. Stolen were a camera, val-
ued at about $600, and six memory cards
containing thousands of images.
Mr. Stephens said the cards contained
“seven years worth of my memories”, includ-
ing pictures of family, job sites and, perhaps
most importantly, images of his father, also
named John, who died in February at age
73.
The two men were partners in the family
business, Port Perry Salvage. But the rela-
tionship went well beyond that, Mr. Stephens
said.
“We were business partners and we were
buddies,” he said. “Losing him kicked the
s--- out of me.”
Mr. Stephens realizes he made a mistake in
failing to lock his vehicle -- cops issue warn-
ings throughout the year to be on guard
against so-called car hopping, where thieves
seek open vehicles and steal cash, electron-
ics and other valuables -- but he’s now hop-
ing whoever targeted him will have a heart
and return the memory cards.
“(The cards) would mean nothing to these
people,” he said. “Please, just give me back
the SIM cards.”
He said he’s offering a $500 reward for the
return of the photos.
Mr. Stephens’s business e-mail address is
portperrysalvage@bellnet.ca. Anyone with
information can call Durham police at 905-
579-1520, extension 2521 or Crime Stoppers
at 1-800-222-8477.
DURHAM -- John Stephens, seen here in a photo with his late dad, also named John,
has issued an appeal for the return of camera memory cards stolen from his truck
overnight July 14 in Ajax. Among the many photos lost during the theft were pictures
of the senior Mr. Stephens, who died in February. subMITTEd pHoTo

Say thank you
while you still can
I was having lunch with an old friend the
other day and during our conversation I
learned that two of my old teachers, one
from primary school, the other from high
school, had died.
The news hit me hard. Very hard. Not so
much the idea that a couple of old friends
had passed -- unfortunately I’m becom-
ing more and more inured to that as I age
-- but the fact that both of these people
had died comparatively early ... more to
the point, before I could say thank you to
them.
Each of these men had a profound
impact on my young life. One was my
Grade 7 French teacher, the other my
Grade 13 English teacher. Both happened
to be gay.
I, of course, did not completely under-
stand that at the time. I may have had an
inkling by Grade 13, but I have always had
notoriously bad Gay-dar. Up until a cou-
ple of years ago, I thought Liberace was
straight.
I mention their sexuality only because, I
believe, it gave their lives an added dimen-
sion, a colour that was somehow lacking
in the rest of my world. I grew up in a sub-
urban family of five boys and one girl, of
sports and rough and tumble, of CFRB
and Gordon Sinclair, of football, fishing
and hockey.
I was not presented with many oppor-
tunities to embrace my ‘artistic’ side. This
is no judgment of any kind of anyone. It’s
simply the way things played out.
But these two men recognized that
latent, but very important, creative side of
me and helped me kindle it.
They fired my love of literature and the
arts. They were intelligent, urbane and
wickedly funny as no other adult men I’d
ever met.
They taught me that one could be on
the wrestling and rugby teams and still
read Evelyn Waugh. That while it is good
to know how to catch and clean a fish, it
is even better to know how to pair a fab-
ulous chardonnay with it. That one could
be gentle, emotional and sensitive and
still be very much a man.
In fact, that the highest level of educa-
tion a young boy might aspire to, would be
to become a ‘gentleman’.
I have spent the better part of my adult
years trying to become that gentle man. I
feel that I am at my best, my most enlight-
ened self, when I am that gentle man.
And, as the parent of two young boys, I
have worked hard to make sure that they
too understand the power and value of
walking through this world as gentle men.
I don’t know that I’ve received a more
valuable or significant lesson than what
both of these men taught me. And oddly
enough, the heart of the material was not
even part of the curriculum. It was more
about who they were, how they lived, what
they loved.
I consider myself lucky to have met
them, to have been a fortunate benefac-
tor of their influence, wisdom and charm.
My only regret is that by the time I really
figured out how important they’d been to
me, they were gone.
And yet, I suppose, even in their untime-
ly departures they have left me with
another valuable, ‘gentlemanly’ message.
Say thank you while you can.

Durham residents who followed the story
of two teen girls going on an ‘adventure’
who became the subject of a police search
shared their thoughts on the story:
Teen girls go ‘missing’,
Facebook friends weigh in
Andrea Grundy: I’m glad
they were found but now
can we concentrate on chil-
dren that are missing that
are in real danger?These
2 girls need to be held accountable for
their actions.Police time lost on real
cases because these 2 little brats wanted
to go on ‘an adventure’.I’m telling you,if
my son or daughter pulled a stunt like
that ,they would be totally grounded-no
friends,tv,video games,internet etc for at
least a month AND I would have them go
to the local Police Department and apolo-
gize AND they would need to do some vol-
unteer work....the majority of today’s youth
just have no respect for anyone or any-
thing. It’s sad to think these kids are going
to grow up and have kids of their own who
will probably behave even worse.
A sign of worse things to come.
To be expected in summer.

Amy Pag: Amen to that
Andrea....again....I know i
am going to be pounced on
for saying this but my son is
14, i know his every move, i
know all his friends....and my son calls me
every time he is at a friends when he gets
there....when he leaves.....he’s a good kid
(so far) he has tried a few times to test me
and believe me he will never do it again.
Some parents need to remind their kids
they are the parents not the friends....They
need to lay down rules....and not keep
spoiling he kids with $300 iphones, ipads,
laptops, name brand clothes. SORRY BUT
I THINK SOME PARENTS FORGOT HOW
TO BE GOOD PARENTS!
Leanne McMurtry: Pretty
young for such a lengthy
adventure. Parents or guard-
ians should have been a bit
more concerned. They were
gone for a week and a half..
Judy Kalynko: Take them
to juvey....this society is too
lenient. They have to be held
accountable for their actions.
BUT am happy they were
found safe
Chris Thompson:
I agree

BEHIND THE LENS
I took this photo as a group of students joined a zumba instruc-
tor during a school event to promote activity awareness. By
dropping down and shooting low, the schoolyard disappeared
and was replaced by the clean background of the sky. With a
slight in camera tilt to the foreground, I liked how the dynam-
ic energy and sense of fun that was present during the assign-
ment was translated into the image.

arivett@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- An old ‘70s sitcom proclaimed
that ‘Eight is Enough’. Others would say eight
kids is way too many, but for the Polhamus
family of Whitby, eight children feels just
about right.
Scott and Jaclyn Polhamus reside in a four-
bedroom Brooklin home with their eight
children -- six girls, including identical trip-
lets, and two boys. There’s the eldest, Keona,
12, and triplets Charity, Eve and Prayer, who
all turned 11 on July 4, followed by Elijah, 9,
Jedidiah, 6, Arabella, 5 and finally baby Lily,
who’s one-and-a-half.
Even the dog, great Dane Justus, is big in
the Polhamus family.
And that’s just the way they like it.
“We have no regrets; we have so much fun,”
said Mr. Polhamus, 32, who is joined at the
long dining room table by his wife and the
couples’ octet of children. “We followed good
advice we were given from the generation
before us and it has been worth it.”
The couple didn’t start out married life 13
years ago thinking about raising a big family,
said Mr. Polhamus, who works as a machin-
ist at an Uxbridge firm, and also serves as a
part-time pastor at Hope Baptist Church in
Markham.
“We were on the fence about it. We had our
second pregnancy and it was triplets. That
settled it for us,” he said. “Technically, it was
not our choice to have a big family, but we
don’t mind it. We already needed a minivan,
we already needed a house bigger than three
bedrooms, so it was a big family circum-
stance anyway.”
The Polhamuses are back home after a
week-long trip to a scenic lake near North
Bay. They loaded the extended 12-passenger
minivan with all manner of gear and kids, not
to mention Justus, for the journey north.
“The kids were part of the luggage and we
told them to hold
their breath until we
get there,” laughed
Mr. Polhamus of the
ride to the lakeside
cottage that had six
double beds and two couches, more than
enough to make everyone comfortable.
The only drawback of an other-
wise enjoyable trip was eating lunch at
McDonald’s, which ended up costing
more than $60 for ‘Happy Meals’ for
the kids.
Feeding the troops is an ongo-
ing ritual of planning meals and cook-
ing enough food each time for leftovers, said
Mrs. Polhamus, a soft-spoken stay-at-home
mom who home schools her children and
also teaches piano lessons to her kids.
“They’re all pretty good eaters,” she said,
adding the boys “sometimes eat tomorrow’s
food today.”
Mostly though, Mrs. Polhamus said matter-
of-factly that after she prepares the meal, the
kids can “take it or leave it,” but, mostly, they
eat it.
“They eat too much, that’s the problem,”
she said with a smile.
As for mealtimes
being an arduous
daily task, Mrs. Pol-
hamus pointed to
the help she receives
each day from the
triplets and from her eldest, Keona.
“We have some hard-working girls who
help.”
Grocery shopping, especially after the trip-
lets were born, was entrusted to Grocery
Gateway, a firm that delivered their weekly
groceries to the door. Now, the couple fills
two carts on a weekly basis with several hun-
dred dollars in groceries.
Big families can sometimes conjure up big
chaos in the minds of those outside the fami-
ly. Not so, said Mrs. Polhamus, noting routine
and consistency have replaced chaos for the
most part. “People picture that, but it’s not
chaotic,” she insisted. “Bedtimes, mealtimes,
everything is very consistent.”
Besides, laughed Mr. Polhamus, when dis-
agreements erupt between siblings, great
Dane Justus is there to break it up.
Everyone in the family agrees the best thing
about big families is doing activities together,
especially playing board games. Their favou-
rite activity, however, is gathering together
on Saturday nights during the hockey season
to watch ‘Hockey Night in Canada’. The girls,
too? Yes, they nod in agreement.
As a family involved in their church, Mr.
Polhamus said their faith is what binds them
together. The family comes together to do
community work. Keona plays the piano for
the service, while Mrs. Polhamus works in
the church nursery.
Mrs. Polhamus has been writing and taking
photographs for a family blog, thepolhamus-
family.com, which she’s been compiling for
the past five years about her big family.
“We have a lot of family who don’t live
nearby, so it’s a way to keep everybody up to
date, and I love to take photographs so I put
the two together,” she said.
Families in Canada
The number of census families in Cana-
da -- married couples, common-law couples
and lone-parent families-- more than doubled
between 1961 and 2011, from 4.1 million fami-
lies in 1961 to 9.4 million families in 2011.
In 1961, married couples accounted for
91.6 per cent of census families. By 2011, this
proportion had declined to 67 per cent. This
decrease was mostly a result of the growth of
common-law couples.
Canadian families have become smaller
over time. This occurred partly because of a
decline in the total fertility rate after the baby
boom and the fact that lone-parent families
increased in recent decades. The average
number of children per family decreased from
2.7 in 1961 to 1.9 in 2011. During the same
period, the average number of people per fam-
ily declined from 3.9 in 1961 to 2.9 in 2011.

can help children overcome prejudice.
Dr. Bill Hunter, a professor in the facul-
ty of education at the University of Ontar-
io Institute of Technology, wrote a new
book published by Routledge, Online
Communication and Community Cohe-
sion: School Links. He co-authored the
book with Dr. Roger Austin, professor at
the University of Ulster in Northern Ire-
land.
The book examines international ini-
tiatives that use online technologies to
bring school children
together from dif-
ferent communi-
ties to work on col-
laborative school
projects.
Dr. Hunter start-
ed his research
in 2007, but was
able to build on
the research of Dr.
Austin that began
in Ireland in 1998.
Through Dr. Austin’s Dissolving Bound-
aries Project, children attending schools
in the Republic of Ireland met online
with children in northern Ireland to work
on projects designed by their teachers.
“They’re talking about one another as
friends even though historically the divi-
sions have been really strong,” he said.
The two professors looked at interna-
tional policies in Information Commu-
nications Technology, and studied pro-
grams in Israel based on the Dissolving
Boundaries Project, as well as one called
eTwinning in Europe.
When researching Israel, Dr. Hunter
found the country is much more diverse
than he thought. It’s not just Jewish and
Arab people, he said, but the Jewish peo-
ple are conservative, orthodox and secu-
lar.
“They each have their own school sys-
tem,” he said.
Although differences in Israel main-
ly result from different religious beliefs
rather than distance, the online initiative
has been working, said Dr. Hunter.
But they found this use of online col-
laboration to break down prejudicial
barriers is quite rare in Canada and the
United States.
“It was stunning and in a way it was
kind of disappointing because we have
the technology, we have differences we
want to work with,” he said.
Although Canada is a multicultural
country, he believes there could be more
communication with Canada’s Native
population, or more communication
between French-speaking and English-
speaking Canadians through an initiative
like this.
Through their research, professors
Hunter and Austin learned when teach-
ers are given the opportunity and sup-
port needed to develop these types of
projects, they embrace working together.
And it’s not an expensive task.
“There’s a tiny bit of infrastructure
that’s required and there’s some costs for
teachers coming together and planning
together,” he said.
Essentially, it could all be done online
to keep costs lower.
“What’s really important point in that
is it’s really the teachers’ ingenuity and
the teachers’ creativity that makes it all
work,” he said.

Non-sterile equipment
possibly used
by Durham
business
Body piercing clients
of Whitby tattoo parlour
potentially exposed to
infectious diseases
DURHAM -- Anyone who had body
piercings done at Ink Culture Studios
in Whitby could potentially have been
exposed to non-sterile equipment.
Durham Region’s health department
wants anyone who had a body piercing
at the business between Oct. 18, 2012
and July 9, 2013 to call the depart-
ment.
Ink Culture Studios is at 19-10 Sunray
St., Whitby. Its main business is tattoo-
ing, but it also does body piercing.
Potentially non-sterile equipment was
used in body piercing during that time
period and clients could have been
exposed to hepa-
titis B, hepatitis C
and HIV, the health
department says.
“Our investiga-
tion only involves
clients who may
have received
body piercing ser-
vices at Ink Cul-
ture Studios, but
does not include
those clients who
received tattooing
services,” said Ross MacEachern, man-
ager, environmental health with the
health department.
“It’s important for clients to under-
stand that the tattooing services are not
a concern, as the operator was in com-
pliance with those services.”
There’s no evidence any infectious dis-
ease has been transmitted and there’s
low risk of exposure.
The health department wants any-
one who had a piercing at the business
to take precautions until the evidence
of infectious diseases has been ruled
out.
Precautions include no sharing of clip-
pers, razors, toothbrushes and other
personal items, and to use a condom
during sexual activity.
Clients of the business during the time
are asked to call Durham Health Con-
nection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-
841-2729, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m.

Grocery store decor: Open your eyes to the possibilities
If you’re like me, you like to find inter-
esting decorating ideas in unusual plac-
es -- like your local grocery store.
Believe me, if you open your eyes to
the designs all around you, you’ll be
amazed at the inspiration out there.
Shopping the local produce aisles can
be full of ideas and just might help you
make an amazing statement at your next
dinner party.
Instead of a floral centerpiece, why
not consider fresh fruit? The shapes,
textures and colours can really get your
creative juices flowing.
Start with a vessel -- how about a wick-
er tray, a large rustic bowl or big white
platter? Then browse those produce
aisles. How about a big bowl full of sunny
lemons? A platter piled with pears?
You’ll get the biggest bang for your buck
with a bag of oranges. Arrange them in a
wicker tray and for an extra flourish grab
some leaves from the garden (hydran-
gea, hosta) to tuck in amongst the fruit
for a fresh-picked look. Remember, you
can eat the display with dessert so it’s
certainly a win-win idea.
As you move along the grocery aisles
you’ll come to the ubiquitous grocery
store bouquet. Daisies, carnations, roses
-- yawn. They may seem to lack luster
but they’ve still got potential. Stick with
one colour of flower, like these carna-
tions in shades of orange and apricot.
Trim the flowers low enough to create a
tight dense arrangement and don’t splay
all over.
For that extra designer touch, I like
to use vintage ceramic vases like these
green pottery examples. Clear glass is
another great option. The carnations
look more graphic and have a bold
impact when arranged in uncomplicat-
ed groupings like this and look elevated
and elegant.
If all you can find is the tradition-
al mixed bouquet, don’t panic. Simply
deconstruct the bouquet and display
each variety of flower in its own vessel.
You might want to pick up two bouquets
to make sure you have enough blooms
for this idea.
Use a variety of bud vases to hold each
variety -- roses in one, daisies in anoth-
er, ferns and baby’s breath each in their
own vase too. Scatter the vases down the
length of the dining table and for an ele-
gant touch add some tea lights amongst
the vases.
Don’t have a collection of bud vases?
Try washed-out glass jars or tin cans
with the labels removed for a casual cot-
tage look.
You see there’s just no excuse for not
having a beautiful arrangement if you
open your eyes to the decor possibilities
all around you.

Chalkboard
décor: not
just for
teachers
Out of the classroom
and into your home
Who said that writing on a chalkboard
was the prerogative of teachers?
Even though chalkboards are falling
out of favour in classrooms, chalk and
slate are now finding a place in the
comfort of our homes as a decorative
focal point.
Chalkboard paint, specifically crea
ted for interior design projects, has
been on the market for several years
now.
With chalkboard paint, available in
a variety of colours, you can turn any
surface into a useful fullyerasable
surface.
If you like this idea but are short on
inspiration, here are a few ideas to
take note of in chalk of course.
• Place in horizontal or vertical bands
for a graphic effect
• Cartoon-type bubbles can be used
for a playful effect
• Paint over the glass part of an antique
frame or a Baroque style mirror
• Frame and hang a chalkboard in
the dining room for writing down the
menu
• For grocery lists, paint a patch on the
backsplash, a cabinet door or the pan
try door
• Use next to the television for remind
ers of nottobemissed programs
• Paint on a fridge door to create a fam
ily calendar for activities and appoint
ments
• Paint an entire wall, or just part of it,
near the computer to take notes and
make calculations
• Paint a chessboard or tic-tac-toe
grid on the rec room coffee table for
impromptu games
• Paint on containers or drawers for
erasable labels that indicate their con
tents.Chalkboards are finding a place in homes as a decorative focal point.

Haley hits
a home
run with
Winthrop
Pickering catcher
signs softball
scholarship with
South Carolina school
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Paige Haley doesn’t mind
where she’s at, but she’s eager to get to the
next destination.
At the present, she’s home in Pickering,
but that will change in August when she
packs her bags, and ball glove, to head
for South Carolina where she will join the
Winthrop University Eagles on a four-year
softball scholarship.
The 18 year old has focussed on softball
for as long as she can remember, and the
dedication, time and effort finally paid off.
“I’m looking forward to it,” she says of
starting the next chapter in her life. “I real-
ly want to get started on my softball career
and I’m looking forward to getting away
from home.”
The Dunbarton High School graduate
started her softball career playing house
league in Pickering, shifted to Whitby,
then transferred to the Ajax Raiders, win-
ning the provincial championship once
and finishing as runners-up on two occa-
sions. She played on Team Ontario twice,
including at the U16 International Softball
World Cup in Florida.
She was also selected as the top catcher
at Canadian nationals in 2009 and 2010.
At the recent tryouts for the junior
national team, she was selected as an
alternate.
The thoughts of heading to the Unit-
ed States on a scholarship began to take
shape in grades nine and 10, prompted by
her coach at the time, and hearing of older
siblings of teammates heading south.
“I wanted a Division I school because
I wanted a higher level of softball,” says
Haley on her initial wish list. “I wanted to
go down south, I like the warmer weath-
er, so South Carolina was good. It’s not too
hot, but warmer than Canada.
“I didn’t want too big of a campus. Win-
throp is about 6,000 kids. I didn’t want to
be lost in a crowd.”
Also in Winthrop’s favour was that they
offered the business and accounting pro-
gram she was interested in, the coaching
staff, including head coach Mark Cooke
were nice, and the roster boasts six other
Canadian players.
She short-listed her choices to three
schools, including the University of Cali-
fornia at Pennsylvania, and Wayne State in
Detroit, but Winthrop was the best fit.
Her versatility will allow her to play both
catcher and in the outfield. She’s going
in as a freshman and expecting to get her
share of playing time.
“The way the coach is looking at it, I
should be one of the starting catchers,”
she predicts. “He’s looking for a starting
catcher. Hopefully I’ll get some time as a
freshman and show him how I can play.”

Ajax Raiders
softball team
sending five to
NCAA schools
Club working toward
trip to national
championships
AJAX -- Several local players are enjoying
both individual and team success with the
Ajax Raiders softball team this season.
Over the past few years, the team has
quietly made a name as one of the premier
clubs across the country. The core of the
current 18U team has played in the cham-
pionship game of the Canadian Nationals
in two of the past year years, coming just
short of a national title in both cases.
This year’s team is experiencing success
in the same tradition as previous years
with a 34-2-0 record including wins in
four of the five tournaments the team has
entered thus far. Most significant of the
tournament wins was a nine-win and no-
loss performance over
three days in Hager-
stown, Maryland in
late May.
The Raider’s strong
achievements have
not gone unnoticed
by recruiters south
of the border as five
players on the roster have b e e n
rewarded with NCAA scholarships in Sep-
tember.
The local players and their destinations
include: Paige Haley (Pickering) is head-
ed to Rock Hill, South Carolina to soar
with the Winthrop Eagles; Gillian Mur-
ray (Whitby) will continue as a Raider
but a Colgate Raider as she attends the
school in Hamilton, New York; and Robyn
Mogavero (Whitby) will attend Simon
Fraser University while competing for the
Clan in NCAA competition. Simon Fraser
is the only Canadian school to compete in
a full slate of athletic competition in the
NCAA.
A couple of others will also be moving
on, including: Claire Johnston (Campbell-
croft) will be heading to Edinboro Univer-
sity in Pennsylvania to play for the Fight-
ing Scots; and Brittney Moffatt (Curve
Lake) will be a Penguin as she enrols at
Youngstown State in Ohio.
The team is now preparing for the Ontar-
io championships to be held in Brampton
July 26-28. A strong result there will qual-
ify the Raiders for a trip to Charlottetown,
PEI from Aug. 12-19 in pursuit of the elu-
sive national title.
