RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND South Pickering residents spar with City over sidewalks Neighbours esthetic concerns vie with City’s safety and accessibility guidelines MOYA DILLON mdillon@duramregion.com PICKERING -- Residents in the Fairport Beach area say they can accept a proposed development that will add 50 homes to the area, but are drawing the line at plans to add curbs and sidewalks to existing streets. Paul White, of the Fairport Beach Ratepayers Associa- tion, asked councillors to consider removing the sidewalk plans from the proposal, which would see Cliffview Road extended and connected to Park Crescent to accommo- date 50 new single family homes. He argued that urbanizing the streets with walkways and curbs would take away from the area’s unique char- acter. “As you know Fairport Beach is one of the oldest neigh- bourhoods down there, it was originally a cottage neigh- bourhood and we have talked about its distinct character at every opportunity we’ve had throughout this process,” he said.

When I come to this commu- nity, it’s a real mix of urban, suburban and rural,” said Premier Wynne. “I’m also wear- ing my Minister of Agriculture and Food hat and I really think places like Claring- ton, and Durham in general, demonstrate that there really is not a hard line between urban and rural. The two are inter-depen- dent.” The economy is top of mind for the Ontar- io premier who is leading a volatile minor- ity government. Premier Wynne said her government is focused on investing in people, infrastruc- ture and fostering a dynamic, innovative business environment. She said before an election is called she would like to reduce the number of unem- ployed youth in Ontario. She said her gov- ernment wants to make sure young people have the skills they need to succeed, and plans to bring private industry to the table to make that goal possible. “The top priority is jobs and the econ- omy,” said Premier Wynne. “Without a strong thriving economy, it’s very hard to make the other investments we need.” She said she wants to see young entre- preneurs -- like the owner of The Walnut in downtown Bowmanville -- encouraged with access to capital, training programs and making sure there’s a labour pool. With a minority government in Toronto, Premier Wynne said her Liberal govern- ment is ready for an election to be called at any time. She said the party needs to make sure all local riding associations are ready for the whistle to blow. “We have a very positive and hopeful message for the people of Ontario because we really believe there is huge potential in the province of Ontario,” she said. “Those investments in people, infrastructure and business will bear fruit for Ontario in the long run.” Despite the fact that the Province is reconsidering its future energy plans in light of economic changes and greater energy conservation, Premier Wynne said the government wasn’t backing off from its nuclear energy plans. She said the refurbishment of Ontar- io Power Generation’s Darlington nucle- ar plant is on track. The new build at Dar- lington Nuclear would likely proceed when new reactors are needed to replace the ones being decommissioned at Pickering Nuclear -- and not before. “There’s no scenario in which nuclear is not a significant part of (Ontario’s energy infrastructure). We’re always talking about 50-per cent base-load and that’s what we’re working towards,” said Premier Wynne. “Energy infrastructure is part of our plan for overall economic development,” When asked about merger talks between the Ajax-Pickering hospital and the Scar- borough Hospital, Premier Wynne said it won’t lead to a hospital closing. She said there may be ways to better col- laborate between the hospitals in Ajax and Scarborough. The current review could find ways to avoid duplication of services, be more cost efficient and provide better care, according to the premier. “We look at a $48-billion budget for health. We have to, at every level, find ways to deliver services in a way that provides the best service for patients but also is efficient,” she said. While in Durham on Oct. 3, Premier Wynne announced a $3.5-million invest- ment in Pan Am/Parapan Am Trails to help create a continuous trail of more than 2,000 kilometres. Trails will connect to four major Pan Am and Parapan Am Games venues -– CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Athletes’ Vil- lage, CIBC Pan Am Park, CIBC Hamilton Soccer Stadium and Pan Am/Parapan Am Fields.

Copyright © 2013 AdvertorialPickering killings linked to stolen drugs: witness 35-kg cocaine shipment went missing JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A stolen drug shipment belonging to a feared west coast gang lead- er led to the deaths of two men found in the trunk of a car in Pickering, a murder trial has heard. Although he’d lost earlier shipments to theft and seizure by police, a 35-kilo- gram load of cocaine that went missing in early 2009 was espe- cially troubling to Vijay Singh, Crown witness Michael Lopez testified Mon- day. The owner of the pilfered drugs was a member of the Van- couver-based United Nations gang known as BB or Big Brother, Mr. Lopez, a former criminal associate of Mr. Singh, said. “He was really worried,” Mr. Lopez said of Mr. Singh. “He didn’t really want to work with BB. He’s a dangerous individual.” Mr. Lopez told prosecutor Jinwon Kim he believes the stolen drug shipment led to the deaths of Harjinder Singh Sandhu and Puneet Singh Chhina, whose bodies were discovered in May 2009 in the trunk of a car left on Rosebank Road in rural Pickering. Both men had been bound with duct tape and shot in the head. It is the Crown’s theory that Mr. Sandhu, who was also involved in the drug trade, was targeted because he was suspected of stealing the dope. Mr. Singh, along with associate John Le, has pleaded not guilty to charges including first-degree murder. Mr. Lopez testified Monday he was among a number of men involved in the drug trade with Mr. Singh, and that he was present in early 2009 when plans were made to ship 35 kilos of cocaine from Los Angeles to Toronto. He said he was also there a month later when it was discovered the packages bound in tape and black plas- tic were not coke. “It was two slabs of drywall,” he said. Mr. Lopez said Mr. Singh’s alarm deepened when he learned the shipment had been bound for Big Brother: “He was scared.” Prior to the 2009 incident, Mr. Singh had suffered other losses because of theft and police seizures, court heard. Mr. Singh and his partners were on the hook for the lost drugs, Mr. Lopez testified. “They would guarantee the load,” he said. “The problem with guaranteeing was that if (the shipment) did not make it, they would be responsible to pay the person who wanted it transported.” The trial, before Superior Court Justice Bryan Shaughnessy and a jury, continues in Oshawa.

Police are still piecing together the incident, which began at about 2:45 p.m. when a Toronto OPP officer responded to a traffic complaint. “It’s a pursuit that’s kind of unfolding,” Whitby detachment Staff Sergeant Rob Kobayashi said at about 3 p.m. “It’s a criminal matter that is being investigated,” he said. “It started from a driving complaint.” Traffic on eastbound Hwy. 401 was quickly affected in the vicinity of Whites Road, where the pursuit came to an end. It’s not known if the vehicles collided, Staff-Sgt. Kobayashi said. He said reports from the scene indicated injuries were sustained by both the Toronto officer and the suspect. The pursuit came to an end “minutes” after it began, police said. Staff-Sgt. Kobayahsi said notification had been sent to the Special Investigations Unit, which probes injuries or death involving police, but “it’s too early to tell” if the agency will invoke its man- date. Durham facing $1.2-million garbage budget deficit Lower commodity prices for plastics, newsprint to blame JILLIan FoLLErT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Just like gold or silver, the crumpled newspapers and empty plas- tic containers in your blue box are com- modities with prices that rise and fall. When they’re up, it’s great news for municipalities. In past years Durham Region has brought in up to $8 million by selling recyclables to industrial buyers that reprocess them into new products rang- ing from carpets to fleece jackets. However, prices for recyclables like plastics and newsprint recently took a significant dive. As a result, the Region of Durham is facing a $1.2-million defi- cit for its 2013 solid waste budget. “Like any commodity, the prices fluc- tuate based on market prices and sup- ply and demand,” says Craig Bartlett, the Region’s manager of waste opera- tions. “We are fairly conservative and try to anticipate changes in the marketplace ... but it’s like a crystal ball.” On average, the Region col- lects 50,000 metric tonnes of blue box mate- rials a year. The reve- nue from sell- ing recyclables helps cover the cost of Durham’s waste programs, reducing the burden on taxpayers. While the deficit is concerning, Mr. Bartlett says there is still time for com- modity prices to come back up. If not, the Region has money in reserve account to offset the loss. Durham recently expanded its list of accepted blue box items to include clear plastic items such as fruit and vegetable containers, take-out food containers, egg cartons, molded bakery trays and cold drink cups and lids. 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 • Oc t o b e r 9 , 2 0 1 3 5 P REGION Re cycle empty rigid fo od, bevera ge and household plastic containers and packaging.

RECYCLE MORE ELCYCER “I’ve lived down there since 1971 and don’t recall anyone ever getting hit by a car, I notice when cars come into our community, they actually slow down and look around. Extending the grass out to the curb has a much greater appeal than sidewalks, and I guarantee people will still walk down to the waterfront trail and won’t even use the sidewalks, so why waste the money? Are we going to urbanize or are we going to try to save the particular char- acter of this old neighbourhood?” Mr. White did applaud the City and developer for supporting residents in their quest to save the Nesbitt-Newman house, a 140-year-old stone home, located in the middle of the development, that will be retained and preserved on a larger lot. Despite that victory, nearly 10 residents spoke out about other concerns, which included traffic, grading, lot size and a request for council to bury utilities and upgrade lighting along the entire length of Cliffview, rather than just the new por- tion. The opposition to sidewalks was shared by nearly every speaker. “It seems we all have the same concern, which is basically maintaining the identity of the neighbourhood,” said resident Phil Warne. Councillors acknowledged residents’ concerns but also noted safety could be an issue. “The most obvious reason for sidewalks is the accessibility standards that are there to provide people with safe passage,” said Catherine Rose, chief plan- ner for the City of Pickering, when asked for a rationale behind the construction of sidewalks in the neighbourhood. “Sidewalks are ultimately a safety mech- anism,” she continued. “From a planning standpoint you don’t have people walking on the road as a means of travel, that’s not safe. If a car is driving erratically, sidewalks offer a buffer and a curb that needs to be mounted.” Councillor Jennifer O’Connell, who rep- resents residents of the neighbourhood, questioned why the sidewalk plans were never analyzed by staff following repeat- ed expressions of concern from residents at 10 previous meetings on the develop- ment. “Every meeting I attended I don’t recall hearing anyone ask for sidewalks,” she said, noting the idea of removing side- walks from the plan was difficult for her, but that it seemed to fit in with the existing neighbourhood. “It’s somewhat of a difficult question for me because there’s a need for connect- ing sidewalks in the municipality, peo- ple should have safe pedestrian connec- tions. But one resident made a comment that struck me in terms of ‘sidewalks to nowhere’, because there are no connect- ing sidewalks in this neighbourhood, we would be creating a standalone sidewalk.” Councillor Kevin Ashe, who also repre- sents the ward, asked staff to come back with different options for sidewalks, pos- sibly including no sidewalks, or asphalt walkways with no curbs, before the appli- cation comes before council for final approval on Oct. 21. “We talked about hard urbanization and soft urbanization and I think we should be going down the route of soft urbanization with no sidewalks,” he explained. “I know staff is not support- ive, but that being said, the organizational chart of the City does have council at the top.” Pickering neighbourhood association opposes sidewalk proposal by City PICKERING from page 1 Where YourStuff WantsTo Be!! 180 Station St. Ajax 905-427-5211 info@firststorage.ca FREEVAN (TO HELP YOU MOVE RIGHT IN) AJAX -- Cast a vote on films produced by and starring Rouge Valley hospital mem- bers.

Thank you for your (partial) endorsement of Land Over Landings’ argument, recog- nizing that there is a need to retain an agri- cultural component to the so-called ‘airport lands’ of North Pickering. When the News Advertiser, Regional chairman and mayor of Pickering, all fervent supporters of business over environment at (almost) any cost, rec- ognize that agriculture is business, we know we’re making progress! We are sure it won’t be long before even the most pro-business voices in our com- munity join with the most hard-core Drag- on of them all, Kevin O’Leary, who said on a radio show, “It’s got smackings of Mirabel all over it -- a complete waste of money ...”. There is no business case for this airport. Never was, never will be. On the other hand, agri-food in Ontario is a $30-billion annual economic driver, and now the No. 1 employ- er and job creator in the province, according to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. We look forward to the day when you write an editorial saying there is no need for an airport; we’re certain that day will come! Mary Delaney, Land Over Landings Brougham Durham Region is well positioned to promote the area abroad as a great place to do business. It is home to an educated and mobile work force. It has an abundance of afford- able, serviceable land, it is next door to the largest market in Canada, and it is home to well-regarded post-secondary institutions. So, it makes perfect business sense for Durham Region to spend a bit of money in an attempt to lure investment from abroad, either in recruiting new business start-ups, luring foreign firms seeking to expand, or in setting up support operations. As new businesses set up shop in Durham, they create direct and spinoff jobs, use local suppliers and materials, help to balance the commercial-residential tax base, and con- tribute to the local economy. Durham has been focused on four big pri- ority markets: Germany, Brazil, China and the United States. And there have already been several ‘investment missions’ under- taken by Durham staff and politicians this year, including trips to France, Germany and China. Three more are planned -- to Las Vegas, Orlando and Paris -- by year’s end. Robert Nolan, Durham’s manager of investment attraction, points out that these forays take time to nurture and bear fruit. It’s not uncommon, he says, for inquiries to take up to two years before resulting in direct action or investment. That’s a reason- able assessment, but it can’t be open-ended and must be frequently measured to deter- mine how much value taxpayers are get- ting for the effort. The Region’s own records show that although Durham has hosted foreign delegations and fielded two dozen investment inquiries in 2013, none has led to any direct investment Taxpayers must support the ongoing effort while also receiv- ing assurances that there are limits, and that this initiative isn’t also a bottomless travel well that provides business junkets to Dur- ham Region politicians and staff without any return on the ratepayer investments. Durham is now being proactive in its approach to luring investment to Durham, a decision that should provide benefits over the long term. If the effort results in new businesses opening up, new jobs being cre- ated and more economic prosperity in Dur- ham’s communities, the initiative will speak for itself. But keen oversight and strict stewardship of Durham taxpayer dollars must always guide the region’s decision-makers. Correction: The Oct. 2 editorial on a court ruling over distracted driving referenced the Supreme Court. In fact, it was the Ontario Court of Appeal. We regret the error. Regional chairman’s race the one to watch in 2014 The Ontario municipal election is more than one year away, Oct. 27, 2014, but you’d think it was next week if you spent any time in our offices during the past few days. The election has been the main topic of many of our conversations as we plan our election coverage once candidates start to register on Jan. 2. No level of politics hits so close to home for our readers than the municipal variety and we want to make sure you know who you are voting for and what those people are responsible for. We have planned numerous features but a lot of our coverage will involve getting our readers and the wannabe politicians to interact. Our durhamregion.com website will become a hub for comments and inter- action between voters and candidates. Politicians will be asked to register on our site and start commenting on stories and talking directly to the people they want to represent. We’ll also be taking an in-depth look at the election of the regional chair- man, the first time local voters will have a say on the top spot at the region. Until this year, elected Durham council- lors chose the regional chairman. Some felt that made for a stronger chairman who didn’t get caught up in political minutiae but others argued the chairman should be answerable to voters. The chairman’s posi- tion should be elected but running a cam- paign covering all of Durham is going to be an expensive venture, one we are excited to follow. Stay tuned. No more ants In May I wrote about ants in my backyard and the many ways I tried to get rid of them. With the help of readers, I finally used Borax with icing sugar.

Mike Johnston Managing Editor Looking ahead Making a statement, with attachment #6 I’ve taken to cutting my own hair lately. This is not to imply that I have been busy cutting other people’s hair recently, nor is it some kind of sexual metaphor, but sim- ply that I have in the past, like most of you, had someone else cut my hair. Cutting my own hair for the first time took a ridiculous amount of courage. I was all nerves, anxious, even frightened. You would’ve thought I was contem- plating giving myself a home vasectomy instead of trimming a few insensate fol- licles. What is it about our hair that makes us invest so much of our self in it? That makes us so irrationally fearful of having a bad hair day? Or, in the case of one of my home jobs, a bad hair month? What compels many women and not a few men to spend upwards of $100 on the tops of their heads every few weeks? Maybe it’s because Western culture has been indoctrinated to value style above content. From the moment we can see and hear, we are bombarded with advertisements, messages and manifestos of what looks good, what is hip, what is cool. And by inference, what is not. But who’s to say what is stylish and what isn’t? Particularly in an arena as personal as one’s tonsorial preferences. When I sneeze and accidentally take it down to the wood on one side of my head or, as a result of some poorly mirrored guess work, cut my bangs on a 45-degree diagonal, am I not creating a style of my own? Call it ‘Solitary Confinement’, ‘Unhinged Look’ or simply ‘Tasered’. I’m just saying, one man’s mistake is another man’s statement. Have you seen Karl Lagerfeld lately? Confidence and lunacy are clearly two sides of the same coin. And fortunately my haircuts do not approach anything remotely resembling couture. It’s a very simple job. The pro- cess is more akin to shearing sheep or trimming a hedge than anything else. I have an electric trimmer with a set of numbered attachments that snap onto it. These are graduated lengths with #6 being the longest and #1 being something one might use in preparation for cranial surgery. Within that range lie an infinite variety of looks. There is, of course, a certain amount of trial and error involved. But the beauti- ful thing about hair is that it grows back ... usually. I like to think of my noggin as a kind of three-dimensional Etch-A-Sketch. If something goes wrong or I make a mistake, then I simply snap on a #2 and erase the whole mess. Two weeks later I get another crack at it. Occasionally, depending on the severity of the mishap, it might mean not leaving the house for those 14 days, but that’s why God invented delivery. And thankfully, along with the hair growing back, after the first four or five times of the pizza guy looking at you sadly and asking how the chemo is going, you also grow a pretty thick skin. -- Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

Some of the findings: • 50 per cent of people in group costumes will go as the Robertson family of Duck Dynasty fame— that’s more than the Royal family or Kanye, Kim and baby North West! • People will post an average of 10 pictures of their costume on social networks. • 90 per cent of kids will dress up this Halloween and 80 per cent of parents will join in on the dress-up fun. • Spending is up -- people will spend more than they have in years past. • Only 4 per cent of Halloween enthusiasts wear the same costume every year. • Almost 40 percent of online shoppers said their order didn’t fit or looked different than what they expected. • For the third consecutive year, survey respondents chose The Walking Dead as the TV show that most inspires their costume. • Four in ten say they’ll dress up their pet.

Debate a topic all you want, express your opinions, disagree with others....great - but have the decency to behave like an adult while doing so. Lowering yourself to name calling and personal insults is child- ish. Maria McDougall: It’s one thing to voice an opinion. I always have an opinion. No need to degrade them. Tamara Michelle: Gone are the days of pen to paper and writing your MP. Welcome to the days of social media.

They’re waiting for the bus -- but not just any bus. In July, Durham Region Transit started offering a new rapid transit option called Pulse. Splashed with a bright orange and green logo, the special buses travel between downtown Oshawa and the University of Toronto campus in Scar- borough, taking Hwy. 2 all the way. During the morning and evening rush hours, Pulse buses arrive every seven- and-a-half minutes. At off-peak times it ranges from 15 minutes to half an hour. Curious about the convenience of the new service, I decided to hop on at the first stop in Oshawa and ride to the end of the line during the morning rush. I board a few minutes after 8 a.m. and drop my $3.10 in the coin box. Pulse riders pay the standard fare, something DRT general manager Vin- cent Patterson says is a huge plus. “The fare isn’t based on geography or how far you ride,” he explains. In comparison, it would cost about $7 one way to take the GO bus or train about the same distance from Oshawa to Scarborough. The Pulse buses come outfitted with some neat features including high- backed seats, an accessible low-floor design, security cameras and little roof skylights. There are only a handful of passengers at the start of the trip in Oshawa, but by the time we reach Ajax the seats are all full, mostly with students. Oshawa resident Kyle Gardner, 24, has been a Pulse rider since August when he landed a call-centre job in Pickering. “It’s cheaper than the GO bus or GO train and it’s pretty easy; in the morning there’s one every few minutes,” he says. Another fan is Ashleigh Fines, who boards in Whitby every morning en route to the U of T Scarborough campus. Until recently she drove in, but says the bus is less expensive than paying for gas and parking -- and more relaxing. “I sometimes put my headphones on and go back to sleep for a bit,” she says with a laugh. Mr. Patterson said riders embraced Pulse from the start. “In July we anticipated having 75,000 riders and we hit 130,000,” he said. “It’s been a huge success right from the get go.” In addition to affordability and fre- quency, riders like the option of con- necting with the TTC in Scarborough, he says. My bus pulls into the U of T campus at 9:09 a.m., about an hour and four min- utes after leaving downtown Oshawa. The only noticeable slowdown was nav- igating some congestion in downtown Whitby. Mr. Patterson says the aim is to go from one point to the other within 45 min- utes to an hour, but notes traffic and the number of stops are obvious factors. Sure, you could do the drive in less time. But as far as public transit goes, Pulse is a relatively quick and very affordable option.

SAVE TIME, SAVE MONEY View Flyers/Coupons At Durham Health Department encourages breast cancer screenings DURHAM -- October is breast cancer awareness month, and the Durham Region Health Depart- ment is reminding women to be screened for breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in females in Ontario. In 2013, according to Cancer Care Ontario, it's estimated that 9,300 Ontario women will be diagnosed with the dis- ease. Research has shown that screening can help find breast cancer earlier, which increases treat- ment options and survival rates. Mammogra- phies are offered through the Ontario Breast Screening Program. "A mammogram is a safe, low-dose X-ray of the breast that looks for tumours or any breast changes," explains Patricia Beasley, a public health nurse with the health department.

A quick look at the Ontario Junior Hock- ey League standings confirms it, as the Pan- thers sit on top of the North Division stand- ings after picking up three of four points this past weekend after a 5-2 home ice win over St. Michael’s on Friday night and a 3-2 over- time loss in Kingston on Sunday afternoon. The weekend leaves the Panthers with a 4-3-3 record, one point better than Newmar- ket and with a game in hand. “I don’t think this team is as skilled as the one we had last year, especially up front,” said GM/head coach Mike Galati in assessing his hockey club. “But we’re getting things done by committee. Every time there is a five-man unit on the ice they’re finding ways to work together. “(Steven) Dombrosky has been pretty good for us. It’s a big change. We’ve had some pret- ty good goaltending early.” Dombrosky has got the call in all 10 games since joining the team in a trade from the Soo Thunderbirds just before the season start- ed, and his addition between the pipes has been key. He is second in the league among goaltenders for minutes played (606:17) and saves (309) while posting a .909 save percent- age. Galati doesn’t see the workload easing up any, but there will come a time in the next couple of weeks when backup Greg Zupan is going to get a start, he said. “(Dombrosky) is our No. 1, and with our schedule, we’ve had two games a weekend with a day in between. I’ve asked him the last couple weekends how he’s feeling, if he’s tired to let me know, otherwise we’re going to use him as much as we can. That’s why he’s here.” In the win over St. Michael’s, the Panthers got three goals from Nicholas Lepone, one from Doug Carter and an empty-netter from Michael Walker in a 5-2 victory. Dombrosky faced 37 shots while the Panthers registered 27. In Kingston, Brodie Tutton and Mark Tenuta had the goals for the Panthers, but Kingston scored midway through the third period to tie it and potted the winner just 1:16 into overtime. It was the third time this season the Pan- thers have lost in either a shootout or over- time. The early success is making it a lot more fun to come to the rink. “Everything is a lot easier when you’re win- ning,” said Galati. “Obviously the boys are happy. Again, it’s a long season and we’re 10 games in. They’re having some fun and as long as we keep having fun, working hard and doing the right things, I think we should be fine.” The Panthers host Aurora on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex. PICKERING -- Mike Nedoszytko of the Pickering Panthers looked for an open- ing as St. Michael’s Buzzers’ Anthony Paveglio defended in Ontario Junior Hockey League action at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Jason lieBregts / Metroland Lady Cougars fall 63-43 in final Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The Notre Dame Lady Cougars will have to wait until next year before start- ing a new streak at their annual basketball tournament. The Lady Cougars marched all the way to the final of the Notre Dame/News Adver- tiser senior girls’ basketball tournament, but came up short in a 63-43 loss to Pope John Paul in the championship game. “The tournament was a huge success,” said Notre Dame head coach Rose Booker in an e-mail. “The two semis and the final were packed with fans and fans were treat- ed to some great basketball. “The level of basketball in the GTA has risen dramatically and Notre Dame was excited to host such high-quality basket- ball players in our gym.” Notre Dame breezed through pool play with wins of 59-34 over Leacock and 61-18 over Father Leo Austin. In the semifinals, Notre Dame played one of its best games of the season, beating Quebec’s St. Laurent 48-38, said Booker. Lorraine Enabulele was the top scorer for Notre Dame in each of its four games. Pickering also had a successful run, com- ing within an overtime of getting into the final. They beat St. Michael (Bolton) 52-21 and Kora (S.S. Marie) 52-7 in the round robin, but fell 48-41 to Pope John Paul in overtime of the semifinal. Rachel Wood- burn was the top scorer for Pickering in the semifinal game, dropping 17 points. Notre Dame also entered a junior team to help round out the 12-team field. They got the tough games they were looking for, los- ing to Notre Dame (Kingston) 44-25 and St. Laurent 67-23. In the consolation final, Leacock beat St. Michael 46-27. AJAX -- Notre Dame’s Angel Muir tried to keep control of the ball during the round robin against Father Leo J Austin, in the Notre Dame/News Advertiser senior girls’ bas- ketball classic tournament. saBrina Byrnes / Metroland Notre Dame just short at Classic basketball tourney Laughton leading the Gens OSHAWA -- It sure hasn’t taken Scott Laughton long to change both the fortune and perception of the Oshawa Generals. Since being sent back to junior by the Philadelphia Flyers last Thursday, Laugh- ton has embraced his role as the main man for the Generals, leading them to three straight wins in a span of four days while piling up nine points in the process and earning OHL player-of-the-week honours. Sunday’s win is the most impressive of the bunch to date, coming against a Guelph Storm team that started last week ranked third in the country. Laughton had a goal and two assists in the 4-1 decision, which improved the Gen- erals’ record to 5-2-0-0, good for second place in the conference. The Generals have a home-and-home with the Barrie Colts (3-2-0-1) Thursday in Barrie and Friday in Oshawa, and host the Saginaw Spirit (3-4-1-0) for a Thanksgiving Monday matinee, 2:05 p.m. at the GM Cen- tre. 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 • Oc t o b e r 9 , 2 0 1 3 17 AP in the Ajax/Pickering Area Train now for theupcoming school year Are you too young to retire?
