DURHAM -- On Sept. 4, 2003, the University of
Ontario Institute of Technology opened its doors
for the first time to just 947 students in Oshawa.
Founding president Dr. Gary Polonsky, who
was also president of Durham College at the time,
didn’t envision another liberal arts school; he
wanted Durham Region to host a university that
would prepare students for a competitive job mar-
ket.
“Some of the ways we chose to be different is we
would focus entirely on programs for good jobs
and careers,” recalled Dr. Polonsky in an interview
leading up to the anniversary.

Alex Thorne, 11,
named new Chief Play
Officer for Toys “R” Us
MOYA DILLON
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- It’s every child’s dream
job, and one a few adults probably
wouldn’t mind either.
Pickering’s Alex Thorne, 11, will be
playing with toys for a living as the new
Chief Play Officer for Toys “R” Us, a posi-
tion he won through a nation-wide con-
test that invited kids to submit a video
explaining why they would make a great
choice for the position.
Alex was the first person who came to
mind when Maureen Thorne’s friend
saw an ad for the contest, and after she
heard about it, Ms. Thorne went home
and immediately started working on an
application video with Alex.
“He’s always been really enthusiastic,
confident and comfortable talking to
people so it’s a really good job for him,”
she said.
As CPO, Alex will get to test, review and
blog about the newest toys, announce
the hot toys for the holidays and act as a
spokesman for Toys “R” Us in Canada.
“It’s really exciting,” Alex said of his
new position. “This is a once-in-a-life-
time opportunity and it’s amazing just to
be chosen.”
When asked what his favourite part of
the new job was, Alex didn’t hesitate.
“Toys,” he shouted immediately.
“All different types of toys, I’m look-
ing forward to getting all sorts of toys I
wouldn’t buy otherwise. I used to have
certain types I’d play with a lot, mostly
board games and video games, but I’m
excited to widen my horizons. I’ve got a
lot of new toys already and I’m really lik-
ing them.”
Alex’s video, in which he taped himself
during a routine day as CPO, complete
with board game reviews, play dates,
and trampoline evaluations, stood out
amidst hundreds of applicants.
“Alex is a true Toys “R” Us kid,” said Liz
MacDonald, vice-president of market-
ing and store planning for the Canadian
branch of the company.
“His submission video was very cre-
ative, and during the audition process,
he blew us away with his playfulness and
confidence. He is incredibly passionate
about toys and as Canada’s greatest toy
store, his perspective speaks to our posi-
tion as the toy authority in Canada.”
As for Alex, he knows he’s the man for
job.
“I think I have all the qualities you
need,” he said. “I’m really outgoing, opti-
mistic, and I really love playing.”
And a keen work ethic, as Alex is so
excited about his new position he doesn’t
want to stop working.
“He’s really interested in doing a lot of
hard work,” Ms. Thorne says, laughing.
“He keeps asking me ‘Mom, can I go do
more work’?”

NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION AND PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE
The Regional Municipality of Durham has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for roadway modifications to support
the DRT Pulse Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service on Highway 2 (Kingston Road). The preferred design is to construct bus only lanes and on-road
buffered bicycle lanes in three “bus only lane areas”in Ajax and Pickering (see map below). The Region is now beginning construction of these
lanes in the Harwood Avenue to Salem Road segment in the Town of Ajax (see detail map below). The Contractor plans to mobilize during the
week of Sept. 3rd.
PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE
A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held on Sept.12th from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Town of Ajax municipal building, to provide interested
parties an opportunity to see the design drawings and ask any questions. The PIC will be an open house format with no formal presentation.
PROJECT SCHEDULE AND STAGING
The total value of work to be completed with the Harwood Avenue to Salem Road contract is just under $5 million. Construction will take
approximately eight months; Sept. - Dec. 2013 and May - August 2014. The work is staged to reduce impact to businesses, pedestrians and
vehicles. Through traffic lanes will be maintained in the peak direction during peak traffic periods. Area businesses and residents will have
access to their driveways. Road users should expect additional delay for the duration of the construction. Motorists are asked to exercise caution
for the safety of the workers.
The Region realizes that the construction will be disruptive to you, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding. Most
construction will occur in the daytime, Monday to Friday. Some road crossing construction and road resurfacing will be completed overnight.
Along with the road works, the Region is replacing a 400 mm diameter watermain from the Harwood Avenue intersection westerly to the west
limit of construction at the Real Canadian Superstore. The project staging and planned schedule is:
Stage 1 (2013 –Sept. to Dec.)
Roadwork and watermain on the
north side of Highway 2
Stage 2 (2014 –May to July)
Roadwork construction on the
south side of Highway 2
Stage 3 (2014 –May to July)
Modifications to median traffic
islands along Highway 2
Stage 4 (2014 –July to Aug.)
Resurface existing traffic lanes
along Highway 2
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
The contract for this construction work has been awarded to Miwel Construction Limited. If you have any questions or concerns please contact:
Jim Mumford (Inspector) 905-261-8070, Greg Gummer (Project Supervisor - Construction) ext. 3427 or David Dunn (Design) ext. 3422.

Woman roughed up in
Pickering home invasion
PICKERING -- One woman was injured
when armed thugs burst into a home in
Pickering early Wednesday.
Durham police are seeking two sus-
pects in the home invasion, which occurred
at about 12:36 a.m. at a residence in the
vicinity of Whites and Kingston roads.
When a woman answered a knock at
the door, she was assaulted by two men,
one of them armed with a handgun, police
said. The thugs forced their way in and stole
cellphones and cash before fleeing on foot.
The injured woman was treated at hos-
pital. One other woman was in the residence
at the time of the robbery, police said.
Police are seeking two black men, one
in his late teens with a slim build and the
second light-skinned with a medium build
and curly brown hair.

Forward thinking brings Durham university success
In 10 short years, UOIT
has become the fastest-
growing university in
Canadian history .
There were no guarantees when the Uni-
versity of Ontario Institute of Technology
opened its doors in 2003.
When classes began on Sept. 4 of that
year, 947 students and countless faculty and
staff members began a journey they hoped
would lead to success. Now, 10 years on,
much of that success has been realized.
UOIT started out differently than all other
universities. Founding president Dr. Gary
Polonsky didn’t envision another liberal arts
school. He wanted to see a university that
would do more than pique students’ inter-
ests in learning. He wanted to truly prepare
them for a competitive job market much the
same as the one we currently have in 2013.
Today it takes more than a degree to land
a good, well-paying job. Competition for
jobs is intense because far more young peo-
ple these days have a degree. But UOIT stu-
dents have an edge because the university
delivers niche, market-driven programs
based in a technology-enriched learning
environment. It isn’t any wonder then that
UOIT is the fastest-growing university in
Canadian history. That said, it wasn’t easy.
It normally takes five to six years to start a
university. UOIT was up and running in two
years thanks to outstanding university lead-
ers and colleagues at Durham College who
did all they could to make UOIT a reality. It
truly was a collaborative effort.
By building partnerships with govern-
ment, industry and the community the uni-
versity has established world-renowned
research facilities such as the climatic wind
tunnel in the Automotive Centre of Excel-
lence to hydrogen production underway in
the clean energy research laboratory. Cou-
ple that with a variety of projects that con-
nect students with real businesses giving
them hands-on experience, UOIT has been
producing ‘technoleaders,’ explained Dr.
Polonsky.
Much has been accomplished in UOIT’s
first 10 years but much is yet to come. Cur-
rent president Dr. Tim McTiernan and Dur-
ham College president Don Lovisa continue
to work together and plan to develop new
campus space that will include establishing
an Innovation Park, providing a new cluster
of industrial and academic expertise.
As we said off the top, there were no guar-
antees when UOIT opened its doors but
thanks to the hard work and perseverance
of everyone involved in getting this institu-
tion of higher learning off the ground, UOIT
has established itself as one of the premier
universities in the country.
On this day we celebrate the university’s
success and tip our hats to everyone who
played a role in turning a vision into reality.
Healthy diet coverage
much appreciated
To the editor:
Re: ‘Keeping starving students well fed ...
and fed well’, news, durhamregion.com, Aug.
22, 2013.
The story encouraging students to eat
healthy snacks is a very encouraging and
optimistic sign. Since the national crises in
obesity, diabetes and health-care costs occa-
sionally make front page news, it is refresh-
ing to see timely, constructive advice for new
students
online and
on the front
page of
your print
editions.
The lap-
top com-
puter in
the image
is notewor-
thy because with a computer, students (or
anyone) can access information about how
to eat and stay healthy with many websites
providing information about how to avoid
obesity, back pain, diabetes and chronic cor-
onary diseases, as well as various other use-
ful information that ought to be an essential
component of education.

We can all learn
rules of the road
Before my second son Adam left for
Trent University this past Sunday, he took
his G2 licence test on Friday.
Happily, he passed, but before the test
we did a lot of practice driving and it didn’t
take long for me to realize some of the mis-
takes I was making. But, what infuriated me
while practising was the reaction of others
to a young driver who was doing the speed
limit and stopping at every stop sign.
For example, coming down Regional
Road 57 it is a 70 km/h zone further north
of Bowmanville. As you get closer to town,
the limit changes to 50 km/h. As a new
driver, Adam would naturally slow down to
stay within the speed limit. Drivers behind
him weren’t happy and let us know as they
honked when they passed us or waved a
fist. One driver went around us even though
traffic was flowing the other way.
Those seasoned drivers got even more
upset when Adam approached a stop
sign. As a new driver, he stopped behind
the sign, counted to three then proceeded
when it was safe to do so. To me, those
three seconds seemed like an eternity and
once or twice I told Adam he could proceed
but he always held to his three count saying
that’s what he had to do to pass his test.
The drivers behind us were even less
patient. Horns started before Adam even
counted to one. But he shut them out and
continued. New drivers don’t need those
distractions when they are learning. It takes
100 per cent concentration to focus on the
task of being behind the wheel.
I also learned a few things. I wanted to
get out of the car and let those other driv-
ers know what I thought of their antics but
Adam kept me calm. That didn’t stop me
from raising a fist, or a finger. The three-
second rule at stop signs is now ingrained
in my mind but staying at the speed limit,
especially on the 400 series highways, is a
lot tougher to stick with.

An underwater
encounter and a
change of heart
As the holiday months wind down and
the cool nights herald the arrival of the
fall, it occurs to me that this was the first
summer I didn’t do any fishing.
I wetted a line very briefly during my two
weeks at the cottage, but it was really more
for the benefit of a dear friend and his lit-
tle boy who were eager to try their hand.
I realize now that my heart just wasn’t
much in it. I used to fish a lot. I loved it.
I have several sets of rods and gear; both
fly and spinning variety, and two separate
tackle boxes brimming with every piece of
gear imaginable. More to the point, I also
have a head stuffed full of wonderful fish-
ing memories, both with my father and
my own children. As I say, I used to love
it.
But something weird happened to me
this summer.
While scuba diving in the St. Lawrence
River, I came upon a largemouth bass
lying on the bottom at about 30 feet. He
was an old cougar, no question. His body
was scarred and tagged in a half a dozen
places; souvenirs from a life spent dodging
predators both finned and legged. He was
still alive but he was clearly dying. Unable
to muster the strength or equilibrium to
right himself or swim, he lay there, slow-
ly and resignedly pumping water through
his aging gills, one tired, glassy eye look-
ing up at the sun filtering down from the
surface.
I hovered, no more than a foot above
him and he looked at me. He looked at
me.
And this fish, this beautiful, old, tattered
bucket-mouth broke my heart. I reached
down and I stroked him as gently as I
could. And even though, with a regulator
in my mouth, I couldn’t speak, I told him,
with my heart, to be easy ... to rest ... to let
go.
I know how ludicrous it sounds. Sending
love to a fish. A creature with the mental
capacity of a telemarketer.
What possible connection could the two
of us have? But, real or imagined, some-
thing happened to me that day. Some-
thing that completely altered my per-
ception and my perspective. I suddenly
found it very difficult to come to terms
with fishing ... stressing and inflicting pain
on another species only to put them back
into the water for someone else to do the
same thing ... as a form of recreation. An
amusement?
Please understand, I’m not judging any-
one else by a long shot. I fished for years
and I took a lot of pleasure from it.
But suddenly, I just couldn’t do it any-
more. I hadn’t the heart for it. This experi-
ence, this moment with my dying friend,
affected me in a way I was not at all pre-
pared for.
Or maybe I was.
Maybe I was at a time in my life when
I was perfectly prepared for this particu-
lar message and that’s why it was taken so
well to heart. There’s the precision of the
universe for you.
So I didn’t really fish this summer. Not
for any length of time and certainly not
with any excitement or real interest. I
did swim a lot, though. I spent hours in
my fins, mask and snorkel, gliding over,
around and in the midst of hundreds of
freshwater fish. And how much more sat-
isfying it was to be sharing their world as
opposed to invading it. That’s a recreation
we can both live with.
-- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer,
saves some of his best lines for this column.

BEHIND THE LENS
I saw this sign while going for a bike ride one day. I went
back the next morning to take this picture. We posted
this on our Facebook page and it got close to 10,000
views. It’s not the greatest picture but the content is
what makes it.
RYAN PFEIFFER

On Ajax bus vandals...
Derrick Webber: This a tes-
tament to the parents and
how they have been brought
up.
Linda Ternowski Vande-
Broek: Yup... that’s when
you know its time for back to
school... when vandals are
bored and decide to bust
things up for anyone else!
Would you ride it?
Sean Arruda: It’s simple
physics really. Just trust in
Newton, and all will be fine.
Mark Morissette: It meets
TSA standards, where’s the
issue? Just because some-
thing “looks” unsafe doesn’t
mean it actually is.
Robyn Minnikin: My kids and
I rode it and were just fine.
Not too many are spooked as
it still had its usual long line
waiting to get on.
Here are the first 10 names chosen by the National Hurri-
cane Center in the U.S. for hurricanes that form in 2013:
1. Andrea
2. Barry
3. Chantal

Although Las Vegas is known for its parties, glamorous hotels
and giant casinos, its main Strip offers a show of its own. Make
a pit stop at the Bellagio and ready your senses for its famous
fountains. This thoughtfully choreographed Las Vegas show
of water, music and light is created with a variety of water jets
and shooters that can send a blast upwards of 460 feet into
the air. The iconic front of the Mirage is a favourite of the Las
Vegas Strip, where a volcano erupts in an incredible spectacle of
explosions, fireballs and flames shooting into the night sky. The
show is complemented by a driving soundtrack from The Grateful
Dead’s Mickey Hart and India tabla sensation Zakir Hussain. No
trip to Venice - or in this case, the Venetian - is complete without
a romantic ride down the Grand Canal in an authentic Venetian
gondola. Rides take place inside the resort’s remarkable interior
or out under the warm Vegas sun.

Fun activities for active families
(NC) Childhood obesity is on the rise. Research studies show
that more than half of Canadian children and youth are not
active enough for optimal growth and development and in
Canada, girls are less active than boys. The latest Canadian
Community Health Survey found that the combined rate of
children and teens who are overweight or obese has jumped
from fifteen to twenty-six percent over the span of just 25
years.
Being active and including fruits and vegetables as part of a
balanced diet can help improve and maintain weight. Here are
some activities that you and your children can do together this
fall:
• Walk with your children to school.
• Let your children help you rake the leaves, see who can make
the biggest pile.
• Make sure that they are registered for physical activity at
school, or participate in extracurricular activities.
Get the kids involved in your meals and enjoy some of their
favourite dishes together, including pasta, burgers and tacos.
Adding mushrooms, which are high in water content, to your
meals will make everyone feel fuller, faster. Try including
mushrooms in your favourite meals like a Crimini Pasta, or
Portabella and Poblano Tacos.

Fun activities for active families
(NC) Childhood obesity is on the rise. Research studies show
that more than half of Canadian children and youth are not
active enough for optimal growth and development and in
Canada, girls are less active than boys. The latest Canadian
Community Health Survey found that the combined rate of
children and teens who are overweight or obese has jumped
from fifteen to twenty-six percent over the span of just 25
years.
Being active and including fruits and vegetables as part of a
balanced diet can help improve and maintain weight. Here are
some activities that you and your children can do together this
fall:
• Walk with your children to school.
• Let your children help you rake the leaves, see who can make
the biggest pile.
• Make sure that they are registered for physical activity at
school, or participate in extracurricular activities.
Get the kids involved in your meals and enjoy some of their
favourite dishes together, including pasta, burgers and tacos.
Adding mushrooms, which are high in water content, to your
meals will make everyone feel fuller, faster. Try including
mushrooms in your favourite meals like a Crimini Pasta, or
Portabella and Poblano Tacos.

By pairing up with Durham College in as many ways as possible, he felt the
students would be on the right path.
The founding president said he “absolutely” feels the university is living
up to original expectations.
“To be the fastest-growing university in Canadian history, that attests that
our vision was needed,” he said. “The fact that the research numbers are so
through the roof, that attests that the faculty are being true to the vision of
focusing on research that matters in the economy, but also in the world in
general. I think it's spectacular. It’s a hit."
The university was up and running just two years after receiving govern-
ment approval.
"It was a lot of work but not just by me, but by everyone on the team. We
worked 18 to 20 hours a day, seven days a week for about two years because
we had no choice,” said Dr. Polonsky.
Despite naysayers from other universities -- the competition -- he credits
a big push from Whitby-Oshawa MP and Finance Minister (then the Whit-
by-Ajax MPP) Jim Flaherty and other local cabinet members, as well as the
university’s commitment to be research intensive and market-driven, for
getting final approval.
He and current staff credit students and faculty for diving into the
unknown when it finally did open.
“When we first had our students here, they and their families really took a
chance on UOIT,” said vice-president of external relations Sue McGovern.
Young compared to others, such as the University of Toronto that was
established in 1827, or Queen’s University, founded in 1841, UOIT has
already made a splash.
“UOIT is set apart from other universities by delivering niche, market-
driven programs and a highly engaged student experience within the
framework of a technology-enriched learning environment,” said UOIT’s
current president Dr. Tim McTiernan in an e-mail. “UOIT graduates are
able to use technology in creative ways and are adaptable to changes in the
workplace.”
In 10 years, UOIT has built partnerships with government, industry and
the community, and staff and faculty have become much sought after in
the research world.
“UOIT is home to one-of-kind research facilities -- from the dynamic
capabilities of the climatic wind tunnel in the Automotive Centre of Excel-
lence to hydrogen production research underway in the clean energy
research laboratory,” said Dr. McTiernan.
Right off the bat, UOIT required new students to purchase $1,500 laptops,
which would be filled with the latest programs for their studies, recalled Dr.
Polonsky, which he said has paid off.
When I arrived in Durham Region in September, 1984, I
had no thought of creating a university. Why would I have?
I had never worked in one, except for adjunct teaching,
but had worked in and loved colleges forever. Besides, as
Durham College's new president, I had plenty to do.
Then one day, a colleague dropped into my office
and burst into tears as he and his wife had told their
youngest of four children the night before they couldn't
send her to university. These were great parents -- two
jobs each, much sacrifice -- but they already had three
kids in post-secondary education and the cupboard was
bare.
I thought to myself: this would have never happened
in Western Canada from where I had just moved. Win-
nipeg, for example, with about the same population as
Durham/Northumberland, has three universities. And just
up the road, Brandon, about half the size of Whitby, also
has one. For that matter, many communities in Ontario
with comparable or smaller populations than Whitby have
universities -- Thunder Bay, North Bay, Peterborough,
Kingston and more.
Not fair, I thought. Maybe some day, I'd look into this
further.
A year later, I began. And because Ontario hadn't
created a university in 40 years, I lowered my sights --
importing part-time programming without funding; then,
with funding; then, very modest full-time programming.
Patient, modest, respectful.
I formed a community advisory council, met with
various ministers in various governments over almost a
decade, always denied and offered no hope. After all,
every civic and academic leader outside Pickering-to-
Cobourg hated the idea and let the government know.
One university president even refused to shake my out-
stretched hand.
Then, a miracle happened. A new government was
elected with all six MPPs from Durham/Northumberland
being with the government, five in the cabinet includ-
ing Jim Flaherty. Obviously, it was now or never and on
May 9, 2001, UOIT was announced in Finance Minister
Flaherty's budget speech, with the pledge to accept stu-
dents in two years.
Now, it normally takes five to six years to start a uni-
versity, requiring a master campus plan, a program plan,
policies, processes, faculty, staff, buildings, students,
research protocols and much more. I was assured two
years was impossible but, once again, I got lucky. First,
four outstanding university leaders joined to help me out.
And second, exceptional colleagues at Durham College
donated their time and experience. Make no mistake:
without Durham College, there would be no UOIT.
In 10 short years, UOIT has become the fastest-
growing university in Canadian history -- 10,000 stu-
dents and hundreds of colleagues in abundant programs
(including PhDs) and research, contributing $2 billion
annually to the local economy.
So, thank you all -- colleagues, students and citizens
alike -- for staying the course. You did well.
Looking back 10 years after university opened

its doors on Sept. 3, 2003. This week marks the university’s 10 year
anniversary. Metroland file photo

Guest column
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Durham Region was
a rapidly growing centre of industry and innovation. It
remained, however, one of Ontario’s largest popula-
tion bases without its own university. That changed 10
summers ago, with the creation of the University of
Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT).
UOIT had a new mission. It would deliver programs
driven by the needs of the economy and industry. It
would create a highly engaged student experience.
And UOIT would do it all within a technology-enriched
learning and research environment.
Close to 1,000 students walked through the doors
of UOIT on our first day, Sept. 4, 2003; 10 times that
number enter our classrooms and labs today. And
we’ve grown from one building into a modern and
impressive campus, with locations in north and down-
town Oshawa, thanks to generous community and
government support, and many industry partnerships
and donors.
UOIT is home to one-of-a-kind research facilities
-- from testing innovative new products in the three-
storey climatic wind tunnel in the Automotive Centre of
Excellence, to developing hydrogen as an alternative
energy source in the Clean Energy Research Labora-
tory, to testing pollutant levels in lakes and rivers in our
aquatic toxicology lab.
A student with a UOIT degree represents a job-
ready professional and citizen leader who has a pas-
sion for intellectual pursuit and discovery. We are
proud that 95 per cent of UOIT graduates find relevant
employment within two years of graduation.
Our team of exceptional professors and research-
ers have come to UOIT from around the world. Col-
lectively, they share their expertise with the Durham
Region and Northumberland County community, cre-
ating new knowledge to help solve today’s grand pub-
lic policy challenges. This includes work in advanced
manufacturing, sustainable energy and the creation of
smart communities.
Our 10th anniversary gives us a chance to look
ahead to our next decade and beyond. We are at the
cusp of many exciting, new opportunities for UOIT.
This includes the development of 190 acres of new
campus space north of Conlin Road and west of Sim-
coe Street. We also want to establish ‘Innovation Park
Ontario’ -- a new cluster of industrial and academic
expertise that will help to make Durham Region a lead-
ing hub of new knowledge, job creation and economic
success. These plans are underway and over the next
10 years we expect to show spectacular results to the
Region, Ontario and Canada.
To our friends and supporters in Durham Region
and Northumberland County, to our alumni and indus-
try and government partners -- on behalf of UOIT’s
students, faculty, staff and alumni -- thank you for help-
ing to build the dream and for playing such an impor-
tant role in the evolving UOIT story. We look forward to
continuing our journey together.
Looking forward to the next 10 years of university education

(NC) Families searching for the best food options
may wonder whether they get more nutrients by
buying organic fruits and vegetables. A recent study
from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has
confirmed that the nutritional benefits are the same
whether the food is grown with – or without – the help
of pest control products.
Even more importantly, the study asserts that eating
fresh produce is imperative to good health. In fact, it
is estimated that approximately 20,000 cases of cancer
could be prevented each and every year if people would
i n c re a s e
their
daily intake of fruits
and vegetables.
And since the AAP confirms
there is “no direct evidence
of a clinically relevant
nutritional difference
between organic and
conventional produce”
families can to choose to
save money by purchasing
conventionally grown foods.

"Our teachers are getting jobs because
the principals want them because they
want them to be ‘technoleaders’ in the
school,” said Dr. Polonsky.
Dr. McTiernan also
said internships and
Capstone projects,
which connect stu-
dents with real busi-
nesses, as well as mul-
tiple research oppor-
tunities, give students
hands-on experience
that can help them in the workplace.
Plus, UOIT boasts some of Canada’s
most impressive learning infrastructure:
modern classrooms and labs, he added.
UOIT features numerous pathway
programs, which allow students from
Durham College and other colleges to
upgrade their credits or diplomas into
degrees at the university. Ms. McGovern
said the university hopes to create path-
ways with every college in Ontario.
“We hope that sets our students apart so
they’re employed in the end,” she said.
While the university and college no
longer share the same president -- Dr.
Polonsky recommended they each have
their own upon his retirement due to
logistical problems -- the university
and college still have a strong relation-
ship.
“Tim McTiernan and (Durham Col-
lege president) Don Lovisa work very
hard in having student leadership teams
and faculty working together,” said Ms.
McGovern.
Three of UOIT’s board of governors sit
on the Durham College board as
well.
Many services are shared, deans work
together, the presidents meet regularly
and the university and college both have
land -- UOIT has 190 acres -- of new
campus space north of Conlin Road, and
hope to build together.
Looking ahead, Dr. McTiernan said
UOIT is ready to grow, and next steps
include developing the new campus
space, which will include establishing an
Innovation Park, “a new cluster of indus-
trial and academic expertise that will
help to make Durham Region a leading
hub of new knowledge and job creation.
“With this outstanding new infrastruc-
ture and research capacity, UOIT will be
there to find answers -- answers to ques-
tions that haven’t even been thought
of yet,” he said. “These and many other
plans are underway, and over the next 10
years we expect to show even more spec-
tacular results to the Region, to Ontario
and to Canada.”

Unexpected call to
Brent Henry eventually
leads to trip to Hong
Kong for inline hockey
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- Everyone loves a Cinderella-
type sports story, so here’s one to soothe
the appetite.
At the recent NARCh (North American
Roller Hockey Championships), Brent
Henry of Whitby has quite the story to
tell about how he teamed up with his son,
Erik, to play for Team India, advancing to
the gold medal game before losing.
The story takes an unusual twist from the
beginning, when the elder Henry received
a phone call from representatives from
Team India the night before the tourna-
ment was to start. Some issues prevented
the team from making the trip to Cana-
da to compete in the tournament held in
Mississauga.
“I got a call and was asked if I could get a
team together to fill the spot,” says Henry,
a veteran of the sport who is a regular play-
er in the Eastern Canadian Inline Hockey
Association, with his team, the East End
Saints, based out of Ajax/Pickering.
After some frantic calls, he was able to
put together a team just 12 hours before
the puck dropped on
the first round robin
game.
“We got into this
tournament think-
ing we wouldn’t even
have the slightest
chance of even get-
ting a point because
the level was pretty
high and we’ve got
three guys over 45
playing,” he says of trying to compete in
the men’s silver division, typically com-
prised of players aged 18-30.
Team India, who weren’t comprised of
anybody from India, tied their first game,
which Henry says, exceeded all expecta-
tions. But then they won games two, three
and four, and were seeded second of 18
teams following play in the round robin.
In the semifinals against a team from New
York, they won again, 5-3 on an empty-
netter, but lost to a team from Colom-
bia 4-1 in the final, settling for the silver
medal.
Nice story, but it isn’t done just yet.
Hearing of the news of the team back
in India, officials with the original team,
who Henry suspects
are tied to royalty
in some way, have
agreed to sponsor
and send the new
team to Hong Kong
for the Chinese
World Champion-
ships in November.
Air fare, hotel and all
expenses paid.
The team will be
competing in the men’s international divi-
sion at the worlds.
“I don’t know how good it’s going to be,”
says Henry of the level of competition that
is expected.
The silver medal was the highest, but
not only success story for Henry at the
NARCh tournament. He also competed in
the men’s over 35 and 45 divisions, win-
ning a bronze medal in both.
WHITBY -- Brent Henry and his son, Erik Henry, won a silver medal in the pro division at the North American Roller Hockey
Championship tournament in Mississauga. The team is now off to a tournament in Hong Kong in November.

Arscott joins U of T

AJAX -- Darien Arscott, of Ajax, is playing for

WHERE SHOULD YOU
INVEST - STOCKS OR
MUTUAL FUNDS?
A&&&&&&Q
It’s one of the most common questions for investors - should you put your money
into individual stocks or mutual funds?
As a rule of thumb, if you have a base portfolio of less than $100,000, you might
find that mutual funds are preferable.With a single mutual fund purchase,you can
get exposure to many stocks or many bonds, or a combination of both.
That gives you instant diversification with a relatively small amount of money.
While diversification does not guarantee a profit and does not protect against loss
in a declining market, it can significantly reduce your risk.
On the other hand, once you have a base portfolio size of greater than $100,000,
you might consider beginning to invest in individual stocks.For example, you
could create a basket of high - quality,dividend - paying stocks in different sectors
and geographies for proper portfolio diversification.
Speak to you financial advisor about your particular situation.Whether it’s stocks,
mutual funds or a combination of both, it’s important to select the right ones in
the right amounts.

Grab a camera, a video recorder or cell phone & take a
video inventory of each room in your home.Ta king a few
moments today will save a great deal of time and stress
in the event of a major claim. Let’s face it, a major claim is
a traumatic event which means that recalling even simple
things can be difficult let alone identifying everything
that you own. Be sure to share a copy with a trusted
friend so that you can get a hold of the video in the event
you lose your camera phone or computer in the claim. If
