Roy Singh, CEO and founder of the Canadian Premier League T20, says he is working with Transport Canada to buy or lease federally owned property on the northeast corner of Brock Street and Hwy. 407. “A lot of work is happening; we are moving forward,” he says. The negotiations started after Pickering identified the land as a possible location. “The City has suggested a par- cel of land in central Pickering for this particular project,” Fiaz Jadoon, an economic develop- ment co-ordinator with the City of Pickering, said in an e-mail. “A main function of investment attraction is not only promoting our city, but facilitating the con- nections between the investor and the developer, and/or prop- erty ownership group.” See PICKERING page 9 Pickering teen vies to win accessible van Reilley Wilson’s parents say he is already their hero Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A Pickering fam- ily is looking for the commu- nity’s help to click the way to a life-changing win. Reilley Wilson, 14, was born with a neuromuscular condi- tion that prevents him from walking and severely limits his movement. He is one of hundreds of “local heroes” competing to score a customized wheelchair acces- sible van, as part of an online contest for National Mobility Awareness Month. “This would really change his life and all our lives,” says his mother, Kristina Wil- son. Reilley is a lot taller and heavier than he was when the family bought their cur- rent van four years ago.

CALL TO INQUIRE:905.427.7737 ext: 300 EMS response times good but organization looks to be better New technology tracks patient outcomes; off-load delays still a concern Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham paramedics got to life- threatening calls within eight minutes 77 per cent of the time in 2013. Durham Emergency Medical Services Chief Richard Armstrong says that figure exceeds the 75-per cent target set for last year, an achievement he calls “very positive.” Mr. Armstrong went over the 2013 stats for regional council’s health and social services committee on April 3. While the local EMS met all its response time targets, he says that’s only part of the pic- ture. “People really focus on response times ... but there is more to it,” he noted. A new electronic database now allows Dur- ham EMS to look at patient outcomes for 74 different types of illness or emergency and monitor whether the care the patient received was helpful. For example, in 2013 data shows 55 per cent of patients suffering from a diabetic emergency felt “much better” after receiv- ing treatment from Durham EMS, while another 11 per cent felt “moderately better.” Patients suffering from anaphylaxis felt much better 31 per cent of the time, while those with ischemic chest pain felt much better 28 per cent of the time. “It’s very important to be measuring out- comes,” Mr. Armstrong said. “Not just how fast we arrive ... but did we help the patient? If patients are not improving, is there some- thing we could do differently ... different drugs or equipment for example.” In 2013 Durham EMS responded to 56,773 calls ranging from non-urgent to life threat- ening, and 36,320 standby calls. Standby means extra ambulances are dis- patched when a specific area becomes very busy, to ensure coverage remains adequate. One contributing factor to the number of standby calls is delays when paramedics deliver patients to hospitals. In 2013 there were 12,125 hours of hospital off-load delay costing Durham about $1 mil- lion. That’s up from 11,673 hours in 2012. Mr. Armstrong says the average delay in Durham is one hour and nine minutes. An increase in off-load nursing hours has helped control the impact, but he described it as a “stop-gap solution.” Councillors expressed concern that off- load delays continue to be an issue year after year. “There are really big implications in terms of dollars and service availability,” said Coun- cillor Lorne Coe, who chairs the committee. He noted the Province has made invest- ments to help mitigate the situation, but said it’s “not enough.” Durham currently employs 98 full-time advanced care paramedics, 118 full-time pri- mary care paramedics and up to 100 part- time paramedics. They respond to calls from 10 stations located throughout the region. A new north Oshawa station recently opened on Wilson Road North, replacing the previous location on Ritson Road. The Region’s 2014 budget also includes funding for construction of a new EMS sta- tion in Sunderland, which will be completed in 2015. 0 10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 Call 4 volume Here’s how many Call 4 incidents Durham Region EMS responded to each year from 2007 to 2013.

Durham police said Wednesday that Police Ser- vices Act charges of discreditable conduct have been laid against two sworn members who appeared in the video. A third participant, a special constable who is a civilian, is not subject to PSA charges but “his discipline is being managed by internal policy”, the service said. The charges follow a vow by Chief Mike Ewles to investigate after what he described as a “disrespectful” and “troubling” video appeared online in January. In the video, the three appear to be acting as disgrun- tled employees try- ing to get transferred out of the court services branch. The 63-second video, titled Cen- tral Cells, was posted on YouTube Jan. 15. Dubbed ‘A Rob Ford Film’, the video lists Sergeant Mike Glen- nie, Detective Constable Paul Grigoriou and Special Constable Harold Tasson as its stars, and notes in closing credits it was “not made on company time.” The video named Toronto Mayor Rob Ford as the director, and included clips of Mayor Ford and Unit- ed States President Barack Obama. The theme of the video centred around the employees trying to escape the court services branch of the police department. The video shows the three employees in uniform, inside police facilities, using police-issued equip- ment. The cops are seen dashing down a hall with a Taser, mopping a blood-spattered cell and making a snow angel on the hood of a police car, among other scenes. The video closes with credits that jokingly attribute roles like casting, writing and costumes to high-rank- ing Durham officers. Police said Wednesday the charges against the offi- cers were laid after an investigation by its profession- al standards unit. In a statement issued in January, Chief Ewles -- who is due to retire in a matter of weeks -- said the video disappointed him “on a number of levels. “I have no idea what the motivation for producing this video would be, but I believe it is disrespectful to the hardworking men and women of this branch and embarrassing for everyone here at the DRPS,” the chief said. Durham Regional Police Association president Randy Henning declined comment on the charges, referring questions to lawyer Joe Markson. Mr. Mark- son, who represents the sworn officers, could not immediately be reached for comment. -- With files by Keith Gilligan Watch the video @ durhamregion.com ‘‘I have no idea what the motivation for producing this video would be, but I believe it is disrespectful to the hardworking men and women of this branch and embarrassing for everyone here at DRPS.’ Chief Mike Ewles Produced by: Get Inspired, Get Motivated, Get Creative www.womensweekendshow.com hey vendors h ave you heard? 905.579.4473 Call your Metroland sales rep today to find out how YOU can be a vendor at the show June 6th & 7th coming to & Conference Centre Quality hotel Oshawa women’sweekend SHOW 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 • Ap r i l 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 5 AP Built In Dishwasher • Stainless Steel Interior • 46 dBA • Premium Satin Glide Racks • Adjustable Upper Rack $799 Available in White/Black $699 $1,398$998 $1,799 French Door Refrigerator • 25 cu. ft. • Internal ice & water • Full width temperature pantry Maxima®Steam Laundry Pair Washer Washer • 5.0 CF / Direct Drive Motor • Anti Vibration Control / STEAM Cycles Dryer • 7.4 CF / Stainless Steel Drum • Stackable / STEAM Cycles Maxima®Front Load Laundry Pair Washer • 4.7 cu. ft. / Direct Drive Motor • Anti Vibration Control Dryer • 7.4 cu. ft. • Stackable Option BravoX™HE Laundry Pair Washer • 4.4 cu. ft. • Stainless Steel Drum • Deep Water Wash • Fountain Impeller Dryer • 7.0 cu. ft. • 11 Cycles, • Wrinkle Shield • Sensor Dry $599 Available in White or Black $549 Built In Dishwasher • Stainless steel interior • Adjustable upper rack • STEAM Cleaning Cycle • Hard Food Disposer $899 Freestanding Convection Range • 6.2 cu. ft. • AquaLift™ Self Cleaning • Hidden Bake Element • Warming Centre $1,299 Available in White $1199Available in White $799 Double Oven Dual Electric Range • 6.7 Cu.

My heart aches for the young man who has to walk 30 minutes to get to Pine Ridge Secondary School. Has he or his mother ever considered how fortunate they are that he is able to walk; that there is a school available for him to attend; that he has to walk only 30 minutes to reach his destination? If he is unable to walk or to transfer buses now, what might he do he ever plans to work, or if his job is two or maybe even three buses away? Worse things could happen in this life. Carol King Pickering History repeats itself at conservation area To the editor: Re: ‘Woman, dog rescued after fall in north Ajax’, news, durhamregion.com, March 26, 2014. About 12 years ago, my wife and I decid- ed to do an early spring hike in the Green- wood Conservation Area. While attempting to ascend the old log- ging road north of the bridge over Duffins Creek, both of us managed to suddenly slip on the icy path and slid over the edge in exactly the same spot as the woman in your report, and down into the ravine. My wife slid down about one-third of the way and managed to grab hold of a small tree, unhurt. I, unfortunately was not as lucky, and collided with a tree near the bottom. My wife managed to get me to the Ajax hospital’s emergency room. X-rays showed that I had broken five ribs on the left side of my chest. I think that this section of the path should have a fence on the ravine edge to prevent hikers from slipping down over the edge and down into the ravine. I sug- gest that you highlight our experience and warn your readers of the very dangerous slippery conditions at the Greenwood Conservation Area at this time of year. Joe Vranic Go Gens! To the editor: Thank goodness we have the Oshawa Generals to give us hockey hope in the Durham since the Toronto Maple Leafs can’t. Except for the crying, it’s all over for Leaf fans. I’m quite sure the great Yogi Berra was thinking of the Leafs when he coined the expression: “This is like deja vu all over again.” Go Gens go! Steven Clift Pickering paramedics looking at the big picture Measuring patient outcomes to provide better care Durham paramedics are innovatively looking at patient outcomes to determine if they can do more to assist people when they respond to a call. At a recent Durham Regional coun- cil health and social services commit- tee meeting, Durham Emergency Medi- cal Services Chief Richard Armstrong noted that local paramedics arrived at life-threatening calls within eight minutes 77 per cent of the time in 2013. And while that exceeds the 75-per cent target set for last year, Mr. Armstrong noted that “peo- ple really focus on response times ... but there is more to it.” Sure, in an emergency the priority is getting the person medical attention as quickly as possible. How many sto- ries have we read in the media where the slow response of emergency personnel is pointed to as a contributing factor, if not the main one, in a person’s death? We can forget that what’s most impor- tant is what happens to the person after- wards - the outcome. Did their condi- tion improve after EMS treatment? How much? Did it get worse? Durham EMS now has at its disposal a new electronic database that lets it look at patient outcomes for 74 different kinds of illness or emergency and monitor if the care the patient received was helpful. As Mr. Armstrong said, measuring out- comes is very important. And if patients aren’t getting better, is there something the EMS could have done differently in terms of their care, the drugs and/or equipment that were used? For example, in looking at the condition of anaphylaxis patients in 2013, we see that roughly 75 per cent of the time, the patient was much better, moderately bet- ter or slightly better following initial treat- ment by paramedics. But in one out of five cases, there was no change in the person’s condition. Answer- ing the whys when looking at this data can only lead to better care being provided from the outset and paramedics being better equipped. Paramedics are the first medical pro- fessionals on the scene, and it’s the ini- tial care they provide before the patient arrives at the hospital that often makes all of the difference. Indeed, the difference between life and death. By measuring patient outcomes, Dur- ham EMS will be able to see the big pic- ture in a variety of illnesses and emergen- cies. And the analysis of such data will lead to better service and better outcomes for the patients they treat. 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 • Ap r i l 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 7 APPine Ridge Memorial Gardens Cemetery Programs, Cremation Lot For 2 People *This is A Limited Time Offer* Everyone is Approved Per Month Over 48 Months Everyone is Approved Per Month Over 48 Months 541 Taunton Rd. at Church St., Ajax 905-427-5416 • www.pineridgecemetery.ca Traditional Burial Lot For 2 Caskets Starting at $29$27 Starting at $62$55 GRAND OPENING Join us and Celebrate with Cupcakes as we officially open our new location in Pickering Village at 78OldKingstonRoad Saturday, April 12 There is Coffee, Tea, Juice, and Mini Cupcakes available all day! 10:00 am until 4:00 pm Door Prizes for the first 100 Customers Contact us for more Details!

WSP Group, a Toronto-based profession- al services firm, is working on a feasibility study, market research and concept design for the proposed stadium. “The focus is state-of-the-art,” Mr. Singh says. “We want this to be an iconic stadium that is recognizable throughout the world.” He is proposing to build a 35,000-seat dome stadium that would host a 48-game CPL T20 cricket tournament every summer and other uses the rest of the year. The tournament, which is slated to debut in the summer of 2015 at a temporary loca- tion, would be sanctioned by Cricket Can- ada and feature internationally televised games. The league would initially include 10 teams owned by the CPL, with plans to auc- tion them off after two years. Mr. Singh recently brought Shane Warne, a popular recently retired Australian crick- eter, on board to help with the project. “He is one of the greatest that ever played the game,” Mr. Singh says, noting Mr. Warne plans to advise on the stadium design, and potentially coach a team and create an academy at the venue. Mr. Singh has lobbied several GTA munic- ipalities in an attempt to secure space to build a venue for his league, with no luck. He is looking for feedback from local res- idents on the project and encourages any- one with comments to e-mail ir@cplt20.ca. PICKERING -- Roy Singh, a Toronto entrepreneur, is proposing to build a 35,000-capacity cricket stadium in north Pickering on land on Brock Road just north of Hwy. 7. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland PICKERING from page 1 Pickering going to bat for cricket stadium He has outgrown the entrance and has the bumps on his head to prove it. The $50,000 accessible van up for grabs in the contest would allow him to roll in and out on his own. “He wouldn’t have to rely on other peo- ple as much, it would make him more independent,” says older brother Curtis Wilson, 22. The family says Reilley inspires others every day and deserves to win the con- test -- and the hero title. “To suggest that our son Reilley is our hero would be a huge understatement,” Ms. Wilson and husband Ray Wilson wrote in their online profile for the con- test. “It’s safe to say that, as his parents, we’ve learned more from him in his 14 years than he from us.” Despite the challenges he faces, Reilley embraces life. He attends Pine Ridge Secondary School with the help of a nurse and especially enjoys his drama class. When he’s not at school the local teen loves to watch wrestling on TV and cheer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Even though he is fed through a tube in his stomach, Reilley looks forward to the family’s Sunday night dinners at East Side Mario’s. “He takes each day as it comes and makes the best out of it without a com- plaint or a bad mood,” Ms. Wilson says. “With each breath his vent delivers he uses it to sing, joke or deliver an inspir- ing thought.” The family is using social media to spread the word about the contest, encouraging everyone from friends to total strangers to vote. “I set little goals each day,” Ms. Wilson says, explaining how she first hoped for 800 votes, then 1,000. Each e-mail address can enter a vote once per 24-hour period. Voting closes May 9 and winners will be announced in June.

E’RE READY TO MOVE IT Durham Region council briefs Durham maintains Triple A credit rating DURHAM -- The Region of Durham has again received a Triple A credit rating from Standard and Poor’s, making it one of six municipalities in Canada to achieve the high standard. Standard and Poor’s -- an American financial services company -- praised Dur- ham’s financial management practices, which include up-front financing of capital projects, minimizing debt and ensuring adequate reserve funds. “This rating demonstrates to residents that their tax dollars are being managed responsi- bly,” said Regional Councillor Don Mitchell. The most recent rating comes on the heels of other fiscal achievements for Dur- ham. Earlier this year, Moody’s Investors Ser- vice of New York affirmed Durham’s Triple A credit rating and the Region received awards for its 2013 budget process and annual report. April is Daffodil Month The Region of Durham has declared April as Daffodil Month, in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. Volunteers from the group’s Durham office spoke at council’s April 2 meeting to encour- age local residents to support the cause. They said more than 75,000 Canadi- ans died from cancer last year and stressed money raised through the campaign will help people in the local community. For example, in 2012, 23 local children received help getting to out-of-town cancer appointments, more than 700 local resi- dents got information about local resources through a toll-free number and 71 local can- cer patients got peer support from trained volunteers. Durham residents can get involved by buying and wearing a daffodil pin, donating to the Canadian Cancer Society online or when volunteers come to the door, volunteering with the society, spreading the word through social media or participating in events like Relay for Life. ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m Durham, Ireland institutions connect OSHAWA -- Durham College has added an Irish institution to its growing list of interna- tional partners, thanks to a recent agreement. Durham College and the Irish Institute of Technology, Tralee (ITT) have entered into an articulation agreement that will enable graduates of several of the college’s two- and three-year programs to enter ITT’s bachelor programs with advanced standing. This will allow them to earn their degree in as little as two additional semesters of study. The agreement will see graduates of the col- lege’s schools of Business, IT and Manage- ment; Health and Community Services; Inter- disciplinary Studies and Employment Ser- vices; and Science and Engineering Technol- ogy have the opportunity to pursue bachelor degrees at ITT. Located in the southwest of Ireland in the county of Kerry, ITT is home to international students from more than 140 countries.

The most common is probably arthritis. Especially in some breeds, mobility issues can become a major problem. Watch for difficulty with stairs, jumping in your vehicle or limping on walks as signs. We often will have owners say during an exam that their dog is ‘getting older’ or ‘slowing down’. This can often be because arthritic pain is holding them back. Additionally, dogs can also suffer from overactive adrenal glands (called Cushing’s disease) and diabetes for which the clinical signs are similar – drinking more, urinating more, and having a voracious appetite. Weight can also become more of an issue in seniors – both from decreasing activity levels, and sometimes even from an under-active thyroid gland. Ask the Vet: What should I watch for in my senior dog?Written by Dr. Hillary Butler Look for changes in your pet’s behaviours and habits. Remember, age isn’t a disease, it just comes with some challenges and your veterinarian can often offer more help the earlier we catch developing problems. http://www.veterinarypartner.com adopt a pet WHITBY -- Tanner is a two-year-old hound mix.

An ‘indoor’ spring activity to help monarch butterflies Finally, finally, finally it’s spring, with tulips popping, robins cheeping and gulls screaming at each other everywhere you go. Winter wrens, golden-crowned kinglets and killdeer are back, and I’ve seen ring- necked ducks doing courtship displays, crows carrying sticks and a very excited kingfisher flying past, chattering madly. Before we all race outside and throw our- selves deliriously into our favourite out- door activities -- gardening, hiking, birding, fishing, flying kites, whatever -- there’s one ‘indoor’ thing we should do, something I just heard about this week. Something that, at least in a small way, may help the very surviv- al of a favourite migrant, monarch butterflies, a species teetering on the brink. The Ontario government is planning to take milkweed off the noxious weed list. That means that the tall, fragrant host plant for monarch caterpillars -- the only thing they eat -- will be able to grow along roadsides without being sprayed with herbicides, and that gardeners can incorporate the big pink blooms in their yards without compunction. We have until April 14 to give feedback on the proposal. This is a great chance to praise government officials for doing the right thing -- taking an antiquated law injurious to but- terflies off the books. Especially since farm- ers, those all-important people who grow the food we eat, have effective options for con- trolling milkweed in their fields these days. So e-mail mike.cowbrough@ontario.ca and tell him you’re all in favour of removing native milkweed from the bad-plants list. Be sure to add the EBR Registry number, 012-1204, to your comments. Or pen a note to Mike at the Ministry of Agriculture, 50 Stone Rd. E., Crop Science Building, University of Guelph, N1G 2M7. You can use Canada Post’s beautiful new 22-cent monarch butterfly stamp with one of last year’s stamps to meet the new postage rate. Here’s hoping Ontario’s protection of the monarch’s host plant isn’t too little, too late. Reports from the high mountains of Mexi- co where the butterflies overwinter, hang- ing together on the branches of towering fir trees there, are truly sobering: only a tiny frac- tion of their usual numbers returned last fall. They and their progeny must cross millions of acres of milkweed-barren croplands in the United States, where genetically modified corn and soybeans are the only plants able to survive the herbicide spraying. Any monarch butterflies that make it to Ontario deserve a very warm welcome. Even more beneficial to monarchs is the Ontario agricultural ministry putting dog- strangling vine on the noxious weed list, just as they take milkweed off. Monarchs will lay their eggs on black swallowwort, its other name, but the caterpillars can’t eat it, and die. Also spread by seeds floating in the wind, the hugely invasive vines twine around shrubs and grasses, choking them out. The under- story of the woods at Camp Samac in Oshawa is a very sad case in point.

Instead he just lets it sit there, forcing one of us to clean it up right away because oth- erwise, it’s unbearable. Ever since my fiance adopted King, the cat didn’t cover up after going to the bath- room. Instead, Carmen, the cat who was already living with my fiance by the time King moved in, would quickly walk over and cover it for him, so it wasn’t very noticeable. As I sadly wrote in a previous column, Carmen died from feline infec- tious peritonitis. Ever since then, I start- ed noticing the awful stench from King because Carmen wasn’t there to cover it up. A friend of mine is having a similar prob- lem with her kitten. A simple search online told me they are not alone; many cats exhibit this type of behaviour. According to pet trainers Andrea Arden and Mychelle Blake on petfinder.com, cats usually learn to cover their excrement when they’re kittens, so perhaps King didn’t learn correct social skills in the litter box. We’re unsure of King’s past, so it is a possibility. They say sometimes cats won’t cover their feces because they don’t like the tex- ture of the litter on their paws, and suggest trying a soft litter to see if that makes a dif- ference. Some cats are just picky, and King is definitely one of them. Dr. Melissa Bain, assistant professor and service chief of the Companion Animal Behavior Service at the University of Cali- fornia Davis School of Veterinary Medi- cine, says on vetstreet.com, although there’s no specific medical reason for this behaviour, it’s a good idea to rule out any medical problems, such as a urinary tract condition. King came to us with a clean bill of health, but when he goes to the vet for his annual exam, we’ll mention the litter box dilemma just to be sure. “Primarily, it is behavioral,” says Dr. Katherine Houpt, a certified applied ani- mal behaviorist at Animal Behavior Con- sultants of Northern Michigan, who also gave advice on vetstreet.com. She agreed that some cats never learn as kittens to cover their waste. Another rea- son: territorial issues. The trainers above had similar thoughts too. “Some experts feel that a dominant cat will not cover,” Dr. Houpt says. “The smell lets other cats know ‘I’m here.’” King is not the only cat in our place and he gets bullied. Perhaps this is his way of trying to take some control. Ms. Blake says people can teach their cats how to cover waste. I’m supposed to sit quietly with King when he is using the box and, after he eliminates, gently take his front paws and try to show him what to do by moving them over the litter.

Vicki Gorman, a public health nurse with Durham Region’s Health Department, said, “We haven’t had any cases, certainly not at this time.” The last cases in Durham were a couple of years ago, she added. “The cases we’re seeing now, it was import- ed, so someone contracted it in another country,” Ms. Gorman said. “We haven’t really had cases in Canada. If we had, it was brought in from somewhere else.” The most recent case was in late March when an infant brought the disease back from Abu Dhabi. The baby’s family had been visiting in Brampton when the disease was confirmed. There were 11 cases in January in Canada and “all were related to travel. We haven’t really seen it since 1998,” Ms. Gorman said, adding “A lot is travel related, directly or indi- rectly.” Many of the recent cases have been linked to travel to the Philippines, Thailand and the Netherlands. According to information on the Region’s website, measles are highly contagious and can infect anyone who hasn’t been vacci- nated against the virus. Since a vaccine was developed in the early 1960s, the number of cases in Canada has dropped by more than 99 per cent. Immunization is “absolutely” the best method of avoiding the measles, Ms. Gor- man noted. A two-dose vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (known as an MMR vac- cine), is given at 12 months and then between four and six years, she said. “They have that really before starting school.” Once someone has had the measles, they have a life-long immunity to the disease, Mr. Gorman said. Anyone born after 1970 and wasn’t immu- nized should contact their health care practi- tioner, she added. Before travelling, “follow up with your health care practitioner. Make sure your immunization is up-to-date,” Ms. Gorman stated, adding a blood test can be done to determine immunity. Ms. Gorman noted, the measles “can cause some serious problems in some people, but not all people. There are some complications that could happen.” 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 • Ap r i l 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 16 AP a thomas mcbroom design •866/905.985.8390 Publicplay... privatefeel 2014 COUPON GOLF BOOK2014COUPON GOLF BOOK Featuring34 Golf Courses See sale locations on back page of golf section In Savings!In Savings! $3,000$3,000OverOver34 Golf Courses See sale locations on back page of golf section InInIn Savings!Savings!Savings!InInInInInInInInInInIn Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!Savings!$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000$3,000 2014 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 • Ap r i l 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 17 AP 995 Myrtle Road We st, Ashburn | 905.686.1121 | www.royalashburngolfclub.com VIP MEMBERSHIPPay as you Play $225 value $400 THE ROYAL ASHBURNgolf club Includes: - 2 rounds of golf - 1 dozen personalized Pro V1 golf - $25 member credit - Savings on every round - 12th year running this great program - Plus much more Become an exclusive member of the Royal Ashburn Golf Club! Royal Ashburn launches RA Teaching Academy ASHBURN -- Royal Ashburn is always refining and improving its facility to pro- vide a better guest experience and like every year, golfers will be treated to a Royal experience. Work began in building a new grass tee deck on the driving range in 2013 and will be ready for play shortly in the 2014 sea- son. Along with the new tee deck, the club will also be launching the RA Teaching Academy with a large focus on junior golf- ers, with the implementation of CN Future Links Learn to Play program. Developed with PGA of Canada and Golf Canada, the CN Future Links Program adheres to the Long Term Player Development (LTPD) Guide for Golf and focuses not only on golf skills, but all aspects that make up golf, sport and a healthy active lifestyle. While golf is the main focus, students will also learn about health, nutrition, general conditioning and of course technical and general knowledge around the game. “While we are still in the final stages of developing the program, we are all very excited about this initiative and look for- ward to welcoming juniors golfers to our facility,” says Scott Paterson, general man- ager of Royal Ashburn Golf Club. “Within a couple of years it is our intention to have one of Canada’s leading Junior Develop- ment Centres and a winning Junior Golf Team.” While the Junior Golf Programs are not currently available on their website, the Proshop staff will be happy to answer any questions. While not a new program, in fact the VIP Membership is now in its 12th year, the ever popular pay-as-you-play mem- bership category is being offered once again. The VIP Membership is perfect for the golfer who wants the member expe- rience and the feeling of belonging to a club, without the upfront expense. For only $225, the VIP Member receives two complimentary rounds of golf, a dozen personalized Pro V1 golf balls, a $25 credit for food & beverage or proshop merchan- dise, an up to $15 discount off every round played and over $135 in coupons. It’s no wonder this program is so successful! Not only is Royal Ashburn a wonderful golf facility, but also a great place to enjoy a meal. Butler’s Pub & Grill and the Tar- tan Terrace provide a spectacular view of the gardens and the golf course while pro- viding a relaxing location to enjoy a cold beverage and nice meal. While the chef is most famous for his steaks and prime rib, all of the food is excellent and made fresh in house. Open to the public, the restau- rant opens and closes with the golf course each season. Royal Ashburn Golf Club opened in 1962 and is ranked among the top 50 pub- lic golf courses in Canada. Over the years, the club has hosted many special events, including hosting His Royal Highness Prince Andrew Duke of York during the Lakefield College golf event in 1999. The course features tree-lined fairways, well-guarded greens, well placed ponds and Lynde Creek which winds through the property. With five sets of tees to choose from, the course can be played from 5,016 yards to 7,075 yards, making it challenging and enjoyable for players of all skill levels. Royal Ashburn Golf Club is located at 995 Myrtle Road West in Ashburn.

Construction on the Geared to Golf Per- formance Centre at Lakeridge Links/Whis- pering Ridge in Whitby is expected to begin in late April or early May, with a completion targeted for the fall, and be fully functional in the new year. The 2,000-square-foot facility, located near the driving range, will house a putting/chipping green, hitting bays and an area for teaching and fitting. “A lot of people are driving into Toronto to hit balls in the winter. The kids that are seri- ous about the game, they really want to train over the winter and don’t have anywhere to go,” says Patte of the void the indoor facility will fill. Patte, who earned a teaching degree while on golf scholarship at the University of Akron, worked at his home club, the Oshawa Golf Club, for a couple of years before landing at Lakeridge. He will serve as the head coach of the new centre and is keen on combining his passions for teaching and golf, focussing his knowledge into the junior age bracket. “I got into the golf business a little bit and I found a nice niche with junior golf,” he says. “(Lakeridge) has given me a tremendous opportunity to really follow my passion for junior golf. We’re really excited to create an amazing program here.” That program will be available for players as young as three looking for an introduction into the game, and carry through to older teens looking to move on to the next level through high performance programs. For the younger ones, Patte says the key is to keep it fun. A simple ride in a golf cart sometimes does the trick, capitalizing on the fascination preschoolers often have standing and watching when the garbage or recycle trucks pass by during collection. “They need to go away from the golf course with something that stands out in their mind that brings them back,” says Patte, adding beginners should be introduced to the basics like grip and stance. “So many kids take up golf and they’re bored because somebody might be drilling into their heads the techni- cal things about golf. “I always recommend to parents or grand- parents to take the younger ones out in a cart. Regardless of whether or not they hit a shot that day, they leave the golf course telling their parents or grandparents they love that place.” At the other end of the spectrum, for the more serious golfers looking to go to the next level at college or university, Patte says there will be a rotating focus on a particular facet of the game -- putting, wedges, etc. -- and when the weather permits, a round to follow. “I think that is an element that is missed out on in golf instruction with kids. The coaches aren’t out there playing with them. I want to see the kids play and I want them to see me play,” he says. Patte is also involved in the Golf Associa- tion of Ontario program that is in elementary schools for students in grades one through three, utilizing plastic clubs and balls as a way of introduction. WHITBY -- Jake Patte looks after the Geared to Golf program at Lakeridge Links. The course will be building an indoor facilty that could be operational by the new year.

Clinics and camp programs are available for junior athletes, ages 4 to 14, at Annandale, Eldorado, Pickering and Whispering Ridge. “Giving every junior athlete access to the course is important to the growth of the game,” says Jake Patte, Head Coach for Geared to Golf. “We want to give every child the tools to learn the game and to use our facilities as the avenue to play it.” Back for its third year is the Para Golfer Chair that is unique to Bruce’s Golf Rewards courses. This amazing chair allows people who are paralyzed or unable to walk long distances to still get out and enjoy the game of golf.

Oshawa golfer will play Web.com Tour events this season By Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Derek Gillespie has been through hell over the past two-plus years, but he’s managed to take his golf game to the next level in spite of it. Partly because of it, in fact. Gillespie, of Oshawa, reached the third and final stage of Web.com Tour qualifying school for the first time in his golf career -- a journey that started with great promise out of the University of Arizona 13 years ago. He ended up tied for 67th among the 152 who took part, which should still allow him some opportunity to play during the 2014 season, one rung below the PGA Tour with plenty of opportunity to advance. The watershed moment, which came after years of disappointment in either the first or second stage, was accomplished by shooting a sizzling final round of 67 in November at the Shell Landing Golf Club in Gautier, Mississippi. Remarkably, it came after a long year of Gillespie dealing with the devastating news his father, Gary, has an inoperable tumour in his esophagus. And, more amazing yet, it came two-and- a-half years after a car accident nearly took the golfer’s life. “I think I’ve paid my dues,” said Gillespie. “I’ve been out here for a long time play- ing and especially after the car accident and everything that’s been going on with my dad,” he added. “Hopefully I can get ‘er done. I’ll be working hard, that’s for sure.” The Q-school structure was changed in 2012, but it’s a process Gillespie has been involved with -- and frustrated by -- every year since he turned pro in 2000. Previously, those who reached the final stage would have had an opportunity to advance straight onto the PGA Tour, but now the six rounds will merely determine varying degrees of status on the Web.com Tour. However, those who play on that tour now have a greater opportunity to move up at season’s end. Gillespie burst on to the pro scene in 2001 and was named the Canadian Tour (now PGA Tour Canada) rookie of the year, but he could never string together four consistent rounds at Q-school -- not until this year, that is, when he put up 70-72-71 prior to the 67. “When you fail at something so many times, you get a little frustrated and irri- tated and I guess some people take it out in a positive way and some people take it out in a negative way,” Gillespie explained. “I’d have some good seasons on the Cana- dian Tour and go and miss the first or sec- ond stage of qualifying and you’re back at square one. I just think I got caught in a mental trap there where I kind of knew I was going to miss it before I even started.” The life-changing moments he’s gone through over the past few years have defi- nitely played a role, he admitted. He said he has always taken his golf game seriously, but isn’t sure he focused on the proper ele- ments at the right times. The 2011 accident, which saw him thrown from a car in Arizona and left with a broken femur, punctured lung, five broken ribs and the real possibility of never playing again, ultimately rekindled his love for the game. “Of course you look at life differently. I don’t really take it for granted, never did, but it just kind of changes your perspec- tive on life,” said Gillespie, who had a rod placed in his hip and still experiences some discomfort while playing. “I realized that I love golf and I wanted to put 100 per cent into my game,” he contin- ued. “I felt like I had a really good year the year after the accident.” Gillespie expressed profound apprecia- tion for all the support he has received over the years from his friends and fans, includ- ing many from the Oshawa Golf Club, where he got his start and remains affiliat- ed. As for the opportunity in front of him, he’s looking at it as just that: an opportunity; not a final shot. “I just feel like this is the first of many opportunities. That’s a good mindset going into it, I think.” Derek Gillespie has a new lease on life OSHAWA -- Derek Gillespie will be playing on the Web.com Tour this season.

Vail, Snedeker’s caddy from Oshawa, was added to the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club’s wall of fame, a decision that had been made long ago to coincide with the day after the Canadian Open wrapped up at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville. Snedeker, who was listed as host of the event, did his part to make it as special as possible, winning the Canadian Open by three strokes. “Scott kind of likes staying behind the scenes and not getting too much credit,” Snedeker said, just prior to giving a dem- onstration for about 200 onlookers. “He likes being the man behind the man I guess, but today is a really special day about him and all his hard work finally paying off and to have it come on the heels of a Canadian Open win is pretty special.” Vail, while clearly uncomfortable in the spotlight, admitted the day was indeed a special one. “I grew up on this golf course, I’ve played here and I worked here for over 10 years, so I know a lot of people,” said Vail, who later got a rare round in with Snedeker on his home soil. “It’s neat that they’ve done this for me. I’m kind of speechless to be honest with you.” The purpose of the wall of fame is to hon- our members of the Oshawa club who have made significant contributions to the sport at a provincial level or higher. Vail, who was a junior member and employee in the 1990s, has done that at the highest level possible, albeit in a different role than most who have reached the wall before him. As Snedeker’s caddy since 2006, Vail has helped guide the Nashville native from a promising player on the Nationwide (now web.com) tour to as high as fourth ranked in the world. The relationship started in early 2006, when Vail accompanied Snedeker to Nation- wide tournaments in New Zealand and Aus- tralia. Although he returned to caddy for Jason Enloe, whom he had been with the previous season, he wisely answered Snede- ker’s call again about halfway through that season -- and they have never looked back. “He’s been my caddy for eight years, but we’re best friends,” Snedeker explained. “We’ve been really close on the road togeth- er, he was in my wedding and I call him all the time. We talk about life. He’s been a great influence on my career, a great guy to have in my corner. He’s really helped me play the best golf of my career so far.” Snedeker was the PGA’s rookie of the year in 2007 and now has six wins on the tour, highlighted by the 2012 Tour Championship victory that netted him the FedEx Cup -- and the $10-million bonus that goes with it. While he wouldn’t rank the Canadian Open win quite that high, Snedeker did agree it was important to him given his cad- dy’s background. “It’s a great tournament with great history, such a rich history. It’s one of those I want- ed to win, especially for him because I know what it means to him,” said Snedeker. Vail, who was working on about four hours sleep on Monday, agreed. “It was special in terms of having my fam- ily and friends there because they don’t get to come and see the other wins that we’ve had,” he said. “To win the Canadian Open and being from Canada is pretty neat, so it definitely ranks up there. Not as good as the FedEx Cup, but it ranks up there.” OSHAWA - Scott Vail of Oshawa is the caddy for Brandt Snedeker.

Crystina Kertsos scores a golf scholarship Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It all came together for Crystina Kertsos. The Grade 12 student at St. Mary Cath- olic Secondary School will graduate with the knowledge she is the top female golfer in the area, and second best in the prov- ince. When she enrols at Division-I Long- wood University in Farmville, Virginia in the fall of 2014, the Lancers will have the knowledge they are getting a good one. The Pickering resident won the LOSSA championship at Lakeridge Links by shooting a 77, besting the rest of the field by a comfortable seven strokes. At the OFSAA championship at the Shanty Bay Golf Club near Barrie she fired a 73, tied for second, winning the silver medal in a one-hole playoff. “I didn’t know for sure, but I thought I would have a chance if I could play well, but there were a couple of other really good competitors in the field,” she says of the LOSSA finish, besting the fourth-place finish she had the year before. At OFSAA, she was looking to move up from the 43rd place showing from 2012. “I did not think I was going to do as well as I did,” she admits. “The playoff was completely different and it was my first time ever in a playoff so my heart was rac- ing really badly. “Not going in there with any expecta- tions, I guess is what allowed me to play my game and perform well.” She honed her game last summer by playing in 17 Golf Association of Ontario tournaments, posting a number of top-10 finishes, and whittling her handicap down to a two. She credits signing with Longwood as helping build her confidence. The tran- sition to university life will be a little smoother, aided by good friend Courtney Tolton, who is in her freshman year on the Lancers golf team. “It was a great atmosphere, a great coach. The coach (Ali Wright) is nice and I’ve been talking to her for a while,” says Kertsos of visiting the campus. “There was a great connection. The other mem- bers of the team were really welcoming. They weren’t like, oh, you’re Canadian. We don’t like Canadians.” She also liked the fact the school is a little smaller, allowing students better access to the profs, especially those on varsity teams who do a lot of travel during their respec- tive seasons. Golfing is in the blood of the Kertsos family. Her dad, Chris, a member of the Canadian Seniors Golf Association, trav- elled to Scotland where he represented Canada in an international event that also included the United States and Great Brit- ain. The 22-member Canadian team that ranged in age from 55 to over 70, finished second overall in individual and partner match play events. The 55-64 age group that Chris was a part of actually won their segment. PICKERING -- Crystina Kertsos won the LOSSA girls’ golf championship and fin- ished second at the OFSAA champi- onships. She will be on a scholarship at Longwood University in Virginia begin- ning in the fall of 2014. Her dad Chris represented Canada at an international event in Scotland.

Some people seem to stay in top shape very easily, while others are always loo king for the magic recipe or miracle pro duct that will help them change their lifestyle and get healthy. But really, all you have to remember is that staying healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. There’s no need to look high and low to find a cure-all. Staying healthy is very simple. Here are some basic rules to follow in order to reach and maintain that goal. Five golden rules For glowing health 1. Eat healthy. Consume a variety of good quality foods, which means fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain cereals, fish, lean meats or meat substitutes such as tofu and legumes, and dairy pro ducts. Limit your consumption of salt, sugar, and saturated fats. This is easy to achi eve if you do some home cook - ing in stead of relying on pre-packaged foods and processed products. 2. Exercise often. Adults should do at least 150 min- utes of moderate- to high-intensity physical activity every week. Children, teenagers, and seniors should also exercise to stay healthy. 3. Sleep well. Restorative sleep allows the body to recharge its batteries. Most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep every night. 4. Manage stress. Too much stress can be harmful to your health, particularly as it in crea ses the risk of heart disease, anxiety, and depres - sion. It is important to identify the sources of your stress and learn to mitigate them. Use anti-stress te - chniques — take time to relax, con fide in a friend, and take a vacation once in a while. 5. Limit alcohol consumption and don’t smoke. Staying healthy doesn’t have to be complicated 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 • Ap r i l 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 28 AP What’s On Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor / mruta@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2243 PineRidge Arts Council is 25 in 2014 Pickering-based group adding juried photo show this year Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- When Cathy Schnippering joined the then-Pickering Arts Council in 1994, the membership was mostly from Pickering and numbered 30 people. Today, the PineRidge Arts Council, 25 years old this year, has about 400 members from all over Durham Region and beyond. And Schnippering, its president for about 15 years, notes that arts groups are counted as one, although far more than one person is a PRAC member. "It's a fairly large boundary area," says the Pickering resident of PRAC's reach. "We haven't solicited memberships for a long time. (New members) mainly come in through our communication efforts." Those efforts include PRAC's ArtScene publication, website and Facebook page. Schnippering says PRAC's mandate is to encourage all arts disciplines. And while it's very well known in Durham, there's still a misconception she wishes to address. "One of the biggest confusions is we are an art club, like Ajax Creative Arts, that gets together to paint," Schnippering says. "I have to keep telling people 'no'." She jokes that her long tenure as presi- dent has her thinking of herself as royalty. "I'm starting to think I'm the queen and I don't have a young male heir," she quips. But Schnippering is quick to pass on the credit to her fellow executive members and volunteers, who she says are "so good at what they do. "That's what makes my job a piece of cake," she says. "And we all get along so well. When we get together it's like a family, a party, it's fun. When your job is fun you want to keep doing it." The council's gallery on Liverpool Road in Pickering closed last summer and Sch- nippering says "nature and PRAC abhor a vacuum." So when at PRAC's last juried art show two photographers who were helping with the event suggested PRAC should have a juried photography show, the response was, 'we would if we could find someone to run it'. Enter event co-chairs and Ajax pho- tographers Peter Clute and Ann Hillborn. The exhibition is April 17 to May 24 at the McLean Community Centre, 95 Magill Dr., Ajax. There's an opening reception on April 17 at 7 p.m. "We kind of wondered how well it would be received," Schnippering says of the show. They didn't wonder for long. "We were amazed," she says. "But not as amazed as Peter. We received 452 images from 95 photographers." The photographs came from within the region and outside of Durham. Fifty-six have been chosen for the show, including 11 in the youth category. It's an event PRAC would like to hold again next year but, given the amount of work involved in its juried art show, "it's just finding the manpower to do it." And Schnippering's workload has dou- bled since the death of her husband and partner in PRAC, Lou Schnippering, last summer. The group named one of its juried art show awards after him and Schnipper- ing says she now realizes how much work he did for PRAC. But even without her hus- band's significant contribution, PRAC's a labour of love and Schnippering says she does PRAC work every day. "I'm not complaining," she says. "I'm not complaining at all." The group at its recent annual gener- al meeting received congratulations from Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish and, on behalf of the Province, MPP Joe Dickson. Visit PRAC's website at pineridgearts.org. And note that the group's Artfest on the Esplanade, an outdoor show and sale, is set for May 24 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Espla- nade Park, behind Pickering City Hall near Valley Farm and Kingston roads. PICKERING -- Mary Cook and Cathy Schnippering are celebrating the PineRidge Arts Council’s 25th anniversary this year. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Take your pick: this draw’s a sure thing Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Olexander Wlasenko calls them “the Station Gallery tribe.” They’re artists from Durham Region and much further afield who have created and donated sculptures, oil and acrylic paint- ings and more in support of the Whitby’s gallery’s popular annual fundraiser. Station Gallery presents the 21st Draw- ing for Art gala event on April 24. “They love what we do and we love them back,” says the gallery’s curator. The gallery is most often a sedate place where visitors can view and reflect on the art that is displayed. But all that changes at the gala, when the place is humming in an atmosphere Wlasenko describes as “crazy.” On this night, he suggests, there’s no other place you’d want to be. “You feel as if you’re at the centre of the universe,” he says. One of the gallery’s major annual fund- raisers, the name says it all: 100 tickets are sold and the first person whose ticket is drawn gets first choice on upwards of 125 works of art. The second person chosen then makes their choice and so on. There are four rounds of 25 held until all of the names are drawn. The value of the works ranges from $225 to $1,000. Wlasenko says “people do their home- work” well before their name is drawn -- and for good reason. “When your number and your name is drawn you have two minutes to pick what- ever’s in your top 10,” he says. The artists include Michael Jack of Whitby, George Marlow of Oshawa, Scu- gog’s Karen Richardson and George Huff of Montreal. See the works in this year’s draw at flickr. com/photos/121354455@N05. Appetizers and music contribute to what Wlasenko calls “a great vibe.” The evening begins with a cocktail preview at 6 p.m. and at 7 p.m. the draw, and the fun, starts. Tickets are $225, which includes event admission for two people and one piece of original artwork. The event sells out quick- ly; to reserve your ticket, call 905-668-4185 or visit the gallery during business hours. Station Gallery is at 1450 Henry St. British farce has begun its run in Pickering No Sex Please, We’re British at Herongate PICKERING -- A classic British farce has started its run in Pickering. Herongate Barn Theatre presents No Sex Please, We’re British, by Alistair Foot and Anthony Marriott, to May 10. “Assistant bank manager Peter Hunt- er lives above his bank with his new bride Frances,” states the Herongate website. “When Frances tries to start her own busi- ness to help out and innocently sends a mail order off for some Scandinavian glassware, what comes back is Scandinavian pornog- raphy. The two, along with the bank’s fran- tic chief cashier, must decide what to do with the veritable floods of pornography, photo- graphs, books, films and eventually girls that threaten to engulf this happy couple.” The production features Don Green and Rose Green of Pickering, Christopher Fur- long of Ajax, Barb Frigault of Whitby, Eliza- beth Holden of Oshawa, Lisha Van Nieu- wenhove and Grant Evans of Scugog and Paul Francies and James Creighton of Stouffville. For tickets and to learn more, visit her- ongate.com or call 905-472-3085 or 1-866- 902-9884. Herongate is at 2885 Altona Rd., between Taunton and Whitevale roads. 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 • Ap r i l 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 29 P Creative songwriting program at Creative Math Bob Spencer and Matt Holtby are launch- ing a new songwriting program at Cre- ative Math and Music, the school in Whitby Spencer operates. Holtby (aka Matt Diamond of 94.9 The Rock) will host a series of classes designed for songwriters. It is designed for folk at all levels, from beginners to enders, and will focus on lyr- ics, melody, arrangements and perfor- mance. Creative Math and Music, which also has a location in Pickering, is celebrating its 10-year anniversary and, yes, like the name says, they offer math tutoring as well as music lessons. They are separate, although students do sign up for music and then math (or vice versa) as they find themselves attracted to the format of instruction. And of course there is such a correlation between the two anyway. Stravinsky said, "The musician should find in mathematics a study as use- ful to him as the learning of another lan- guage is to a poet.” Tool’s song Lateralus is built around the Fibonacci mathematical sequence. Pretty cool song, too. Music and math is like bacon and ... well, anything. Creative Math and Music is also offering a robotics program. Maybe the kids will build a robot teacher using their music and math skills. Or create a soundtrack to an animat- ed video starring the robots they’ve built. The fun lies in the connections the stu- dents can make in such a place. The connections can be made not just between programs but also within them because Spencer and his staff offer a com- munity-based approach. Music students are placed in a band with peers at the same level and they learn as a group. For example, one instructor will teach a singer, drummer, guitarist and bassist simultane- ously. Music is often called the universal lan- guage and a group environment enables students to communicate with each other in practical terms. It prepares them for life as a working musician and instills the spirit of collabo- ration, which is at the core of such a career choice. When the band gels, a live performance at one of the venues in the area is set up. The students get to share the joy of the applause. Holtby is a community-minded chap and a lynchpin in the Durham scene via his open mics and his bands Mass Device and The Coachlites. I think he would agree that everything’s better when it’s shared.

The 28-year-old Whitby woman is taking part in the seventh annual Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer for the first time. She’s hoping to raise $2,500 for The Ride to Conquer Cancer, an event that has raised almost $100 million for The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. To help meet her goal, Barnett is hosting The Ride to Conquer Cancer Pub Night on April 12 at The Edge Lounge in Ajax. For $20, guests receive admission and dinner and the event includes a silent auction, a 50/50 draw and door prizes. Like many Durham residents, Barnett has lost family members to cancer. The Edge Lounge is at 250 Bayly St. W. Michael Foster on major league baseball’s radar Talented player pitches, hits and plays the field at Northeastern Luke Callebert lcallebert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering’s Michael Foster grew up loving baseball. His father, Kevin, remembers his son, at four years old, running downstairs in the morning to get the box scores of the baseball games from the night before and bringing them upstairs and reading them to him. Athletic talent was natural to him. Fos- ter had speed that could have seen him become a national level sprinter. He’s been a provincial level swimmer. It was always about baseball in the end, though. The rest was just training. He is now at Northeastern University in Boston, ranked eighth on Bob Elliot’s Canadian Baseball Network draft list for 2014 and eligible to be selected in the 2014 MLB first-year player draft. “It’s a good surprise,” he says on being ranked eighth. “Growing up in Canada, I know it’s a big thing and Bob does a good job with (the draft list). I actually didn’t really know I’d been on it. I knew I’d been mentioned on it and my dad told me I’d moved up and it’s good to get recognition for stuff like that.” The list is made up of the top 15 Canadi- an baseball prospects eligible to be draft- ed and then a list of others not ranked, but eligible to be drafted. “Out of high school, I wasn’t up there as much,” says Foster. “To see the progress I’ve worked for and to know people are noticing is awesome.” His first season at Northeastern didn’t quite go as planned. He fouled a pitch off his foot in batting practice and was in pain. “I just kept playing for six or seven games,” he recalls. “My dad said I should get it checked. Turned out I broke it and had to tell coach. We were on a winning streak too, so it was hard to sit out.” Since the missed season, he has been steadily moving up the CBN draft list. As a player who pitches, plays the field and bats, he does what’s needed. “The college is about winning,” he says. “They want to use me and my tal- ents where I can help the team. I think right now, with the fact that I’m being able to be successful at both, I think that they’ll use me in whatever way I get the most success.” He did seem to prefer one job, however. “I think closing is real interesting because I get to help out the team hitting and on defence,” he notes. “But when it’s crunch time and we’ve got to shut down the game to win, I get to come in and close. I think it’s a role I really like because I like to always have the ball in my hands when the game’s on the line.” Foster was in Fort Myers this spring to play against the Boston Red Sox in spring training and when asked, in a dream sce- nario, what MLB team he’d love to play for, there was no hesitation. “It would be awesome to play for the Blue Jays, to be the hometown kid.” 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 • Ap r i l 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 31 APSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Free eBook: Quest for the Cup Oshawa Generals 1990 Memorial Cup Team Download it @durhamregion.com/ebooks CUP The 1990 Oshawa Gene r a l s ’ road to the Memorial Cup FOR THEuestuestuestQQQ By Brian McNair uReport Reader-submitted Pickering hosts free badminton tournament PICKERING -- The City of Pickering PAC4Teens (Pickering Activity Council 4 Teens) is hosting a badminton tournament on Saturday, April 12.

The Making IT Happen/CS4L Project is a one-year initiative that promotes phys- ical activity and physical literacy among children, youth, parents and older adults in Pickering. The project will impact more than 2,000 individuals including athletes with special needs and vulnerable youth in the community. “Physical literacy,” explained club head coach Tony La Ferrara, “is the develop- ment of fundamental movement skills that permit a child to move confident- ly and with control, in a wide range of physical activities and sport situations.” Sharpe commented: “I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to work with such a progressive and forward-thinking orga- nization like the Pickering Soccer Club. The CS4L initiative is the future of sports in Canada and to have the opportunity to help families in the community adopt a more active lifestyle is rewarding.” CS4L is a national movement to improve the quality of sport and physical activity in Canada that links sport, edu- cation, recreation and health and guides an individual’s experience from infancy through all phases of adulthood. According to president Phil Frampton, “The Pickering Soccer Club is excited by the opportunity to leverage its years of experience and reputation in commu- nity sports and long-term athlete devel- opment to present soccer as a vehicle for promoting physical activity and health in the community.” In its 30th year of operation, the Pickering Soccer Club strives to be a leader in soccer excellence. The Making IT Happen/CS4L project has been made possible through a one-year project grant provided by the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund, Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. Dream season became a reality for Ajax Knights AJAX -- The Ajax minor midget AE Knights capped a 12-2 post-season record including winning their final nine games by beating the Brampton 45’s 4-0 for a three-game sweep to capture the OMHA title. It was a lofty goal from day one, accord- ing to assistant captain Scott Ryman. “With hard work and dedication as well as a great team and coaches, we suc- ceeded. It was an unbelievable feeling on Sunday. Greatest day ever!” After sweeping the Pickering Panthers three straight in the preliminary round, the Knights dropped the first two games of their quarter-final against the Whitby Wildcats before winning the next three in a hard-fought series to move on. They followed that up with a three-game sweep over the Richmond Hill Stars in the semis, earning a finals berth against Brampton. The OMHA title was the crowning achievement of a dominant season for the Knights that included 25 wins and just one loss in 30 regular season games and three tournament championships: the Bradford Blue and Gold Tournament in September, the 28th annual Stoney Creek Ace Bailey Memorial Hockey Tour- nament in October, and the Pickering Spring Thaw Tournament. It was a dream season to remember for captain Reilly Flynn. “It has been an unforgettable season. Winning the OMHA finals was a goal our team wanted to always accomplish. It was the most amazing feeling.” The Knights ended the season with a record of 51-8-6. Team members: Matthew Ferreira, Michael Mouawad, Blair Ballantine, Mat- thew Carpe, Simon Feig, Rielly Flynn, Josh Hall, Nick Iervasi, Jacob Komis- ar, John Mallare, Hamza Naim, Sean O’Brien, Jaimin Panesar, James Reid, Scott Ryman, Alvin Trim, Zack Zaduban, and (AP) Cooper Kauffman. Coaches are Mike O’Brien, Scott Hall, Brian Panesar, George Komisar and Shaheen Mouawad. Team manager is Andrea Reid.
