That’s why the food offered at Sinclair Secondary School on May 15 looked quite different from the typical cafeteria fare on traditional high school menus. Chef Corbin has partnered with Chartwells School Dining, food service pro- vider to 275 schools across Ontar- io, to develop new signature menu items in order to revitalize the ‘cafe’ experience for students. “They wanted things that were a little more colourful, a little more global,” said the host of popu- lar TV shows Dinner Party Wars, Restaurant Makeover, Restaurant Takeover and Crash My Kitchen. After receiving input from high school students, the chef creat- ed some new dishes, and served up bocconcini beef and tomato pasta, kale caesar salad, baked zucchini parmesan sticks, turkey mushroom and sundried tomato penne and crispy chicken to stu- dents.

More than 300 people, including repre- sentatives of fire departments from across Ontario, attended the funeral service for Mr. Diotte at The Gathering Place -- Pickering Pentecostal Church on Thursday. Mr. Diotte died May 7 after an 11-month battle with brain and lung cancer. He was 55 and is survived by his wife Jennifer and daughters Natalie and Bridgette. Mr. Diotte’s sister Kim read a letter Mr. Diotte wrote before his death. “If you are hearing this, my time on Earth has come to an end. Please do not mourn me, but celebrate my life,” Mr. Diotte wrote. “I battled hard, but I was unable to over- come this disease. I’m proud of who I am and what I achieved. I have no regrets.” His sister added, “I loved my brother with all my heart. I could rely on him to always have my back.” Ajax Deputy Chief David Lang told the story of a metal ruler Mr. Diotte had. “He loved that ruler. I found out (Depu- ty Chief) Mike Gamba had ordered one, so I went into Mark’s office and stole the ruler from his office.” At a meeting shortly afterward, Mr. Gamba had a metal ruler, but Mr. Diotte didn’t have his ruler and thought Mr. Gamba had stolen his. “They had a 10-minute argument that Mike Gamba stole his ruler. I didn’t tell Dep- uty Gamba, so it was real,” Mr. Lang noted. Eventually, Mr. Lang put the metal ruler back in Mr. Diotte’s office. “He looked at Mike, he looked at me and he said ‘stop screwing around.’” Much was made of Mr. Diotte’s size, as he stood about six feet, seven inches. Steve Meringer, the Oshawa fire chief, spoke on behalf of the Durham Regional Fire Chiefs and said the term to describe Mr. Diotte is “larger than life. Do you think so? He had a commanding presence. He could be five feet tall and still have that presence.” Natalie Diotte said her father taught her to “stand up for yourself, throw a baseball, change a light switch and to like music. There aren’t many eight year olds who could sound off Led Zeppelin’s greatest hits. “My dad worshipped my mom. He would tell us she was the most beautiful girl in the world,” she said. After he was told his cancer was terminal in February, “he never gave up and that’s what I loved the most. “I understand the relationship with my father not many have. I love you, Dad,” Nata- lie said. Bridgette Diotte noted, “He was a hero and not just because he saved lives or was the fire chief. He was our dad. He played Barbies with us and he never complained he wasn’t Ken.” She added, “He loved my mother uncondi- tionally. “There are many things I’ll miss. His yelling at the Habs versus the Leafs. Watching the Space Channel for hours. I know he’ll contin- ue to look after me in a place free from can- cer,” Bridgette said. “I’ll remember the leg- end, my dad. Thank you for being my hero and being the best dad ever. I love you.” Matt Pegg, former deputy chief in Ajax and a close friend of Mr. Diotte’s, joked that Mr. Diotte was one of the few people to call him by his full name, Matthew. However, when he went to the Diotte’s home, the girls called him Mort because “I resemble an animated mouse.” Mr. Pegg remembers meeting Mr. Diotte for the first time. Mr. Pegg was in his office when a “mammoth of mass filling the entire door and he had to duck to get in. He was wear- ing the largest dress shirt ever. It resembled a snow storm more than a dress shirt.” Natalie drew a picture of her father and called it ‘No Regrets’. Mr. Pegg said he asked Mr. Diotte if he would do anything differently. “He said ‘Matthew, not a thing. We did what we did in service to others. I have no regrets,’” Mr. Pegg recounted. “A few days before he died, he told me he was at the end of what he called his journey. He told me one of his primary goals every day was to make Jenn’s day better than the day before,” Mr. Pegg said. “Nothing was more important to Mark than Jenn, Natalie and Bridgette. Nothing.” Mr. Pegg added, “I want to thank the angels on the fourth floor, F wing of the Oshawa can- cer centre. These amazing people are doing God’s work every day. “You fought a great fight with dignity, grace and determination. You never gave up. Rest well my friend,” an emotional Mr. Pegg said. PICKERING -- Firefighters marched along Bayly Street in tribute to Ajax Fire Chief Mark Diotte (inset), who died May 7. Funeral services were at the Pickering Pentecostal Church.

Regional Councillor Amy Eng- land raised the topic at a May 1 joint committee meeting, saying it should be revisited as Durham moves closer to incinerating its garbage. “I understand it’s controversial; some people are very concerned about protecting their privacy when it comes to garbage,” she says. “But it’s about time that we had the conversation again.” Coun. England stressed she doesn’t have a position on the issue yet, but is motivated to get more information after learn- ing the City of Markham moved to clear bags as way to make sure toxic items don’t end up being incinerated. Markham mandated use of clear bags as of April 2013. The City of Markham’s web- site says the switch is part of the transition from landfill to incin- eration, noting that incinerating materials such as batteries, elec- tronics and household hazardous waste can threaten air quality. In Markham, residents are able to use small opaque bags within the clear bags, to conceal sensi- tive items. The Region of Durham initially proposed mandating a switch to clear bags by October 2008. There has been intense debate about the issue on and off ever since, with residents primarily cit- ing concerns about privacy. Mirka Januszkiewicz, the Region of Durham’s director of waste management services, says the staff report will be “quite compre- hensive” and will include infor- mation on other municipalities that use clear bags as well as the cost and feasibility of implement- ing a program in Durham. However, she stressed clear bags are not a one-stop solution to keeping hazardous items out of the incinerator -- or to increasing Durham’s waste diversion rate. “Education is the best safe- guard,” Ms. Januszkiewicz says. “The reality is, a small battery in comparison to the size of a bag, a driver will not be able to dis- tinguish it, even in a clear bag.” In 2008 the Region of Durham did a three-month clear bag pilot program with 1,500 homes in Clarington and Pickering. A report on the pilot project concluded use of clear bags could increase Durham’s waste diver- sion rate by three per cent and participation in the green bin pro- gram by 14 per cent. Coun. England said the priva- cy debate around the issue high- lights that many residents are not disposing of confidential infor- mation -- such as bank state- ments and personal documents -- properly. She noted those items should be shredded and recycled, not placed in the garbage regardless of the type of bag. If the Region of Durham did mandate use of clear bags for gar- bage, the change wouldn’t affect Oshawa and Whitby, where gar- bage collection is done by the local municipality. Region staff is expected to com- plete a report on the clear bag issue before council’s summer recess. 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 • Ma y 2 1 , 2 0 1 4 3 AP To find one of our 32 locations near you, visit www.henrys.com/stores Quantities limited.

Do you really see this changing people’s habits. Garbage men will choose to take certain bags they will get left on the street and it will just blow around.” -- Michael Stormcrow • “No to clear bags for sure. It’s bad enough that some of my nosey neighbours seem to inspect my grocery bags as I carry them up the walk way with comments like “oh are tampons on sale this week” and what not.

No one hurt in Pickering townhouse fire Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A fire at a town- house complex in Pickering might have been worse if it wasn’t for a well-timed accident. Platoon Chief Rick Ingrim says the occupants left home Tues- day morning for an appointment, then returned shortly afterward because they were missing the address. “When they came back in, they smelled smoke and found a fire in the back bedroom,” he says. “It’s lucky that they had to come back.” Pickering firefighters were called to the townhouse complex at 1580 Kingston Rd. at about 10 a.m. on May 20. Mr. Ingrim says they arrived to find smoke “pouring out of the back bedroom window.” Several trucks responded and firefighters had the fire under con- trol quickly. One occupant of the home was treated on the scene by paramed- ics for smoke inhalation, but there were no other injuries. Officials are still investigating the cause . From page 1 “Our goal with the program is to make the cafeteria experi- ence fun and exciting, all while providing some great, healthy food,” said Liz McKay, district manager of Chartwells. Students at three schools across Ontario, including Sin- clair, are testing the items in order to give feedback for the new menus set to launch across Ontario in September. “Today was all about giving them a voice because every kid wants to be heard,” said Mr. Corbin. Grade 12 student Adriana Whibbs, a member of the stu- dent focus group, said when menus were transformed in 2011 -- as a result of the pro- vincial government’s healthy schools food and bever- age policy -- many students missed the old standards, such as french fries. As someone who usual- ly brings her own lunch to school, Adriana said it would be nice to look forward to some tasty food in the cafete- ria, and feels positive about the coming changes. “I liked the crispy crunchy chicken,” she said of the new items. Focus group member and Grade 12 student Kayla Wells suggested zucchini fries when she gave input and was pleased to see they were included in the day’s samples. “Food in the past was kind of bland to be honest,” she said. “It was lacking creativity.” She wants to see colourful, creative and nutritious food options in the cafeteria. Chartwells will next let stu- dents sample its new items at Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic Secondary School in Ajax, then at a school in Peel Region. 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 • Ma y 2 1 , 2 0 1 4 4 P Students get input on new school cafeteria menus for the fall News Advertiser 905-579-4400 WE KEEP OUR PATIENTS SMILING BY TAKINGTHE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS.

To the editor: Re: ‘Durham cop who pulled gun on fel- low officer reinstated’, news, durhamre- gion.com, May 2, 2014. Two things bother me with regard to this story. One, this matter was handled internal- ly. If a non-policeman was charged, the individual would be tried in a regular court. This did not happen but was kept in-house. Secondly, I wonder how his fellow offi- cers feel about having to deal with this fellow worker carrying a weapon. I can appreciate that post traumatic stress disorder seems to be a common illness, however no reference was made to this officer being involved in any war zones. Perhaps this officer is just not cut out to be in this position. As a citizen I do not have a lot of con- fidence in the police department having this type of individual on the streets, par- ticularly in view of recent police shoot- ings. Jim Fegan Nuclear ruling an opportunity in Durham A federal court ruling that orders more environmental study before new nuclear reactors can be built at Darlington must be viewed positively. The ruling is a victory for Greenpeace and other environmental organizations that challenged a separate federal review pan- el’s earlier recommendation for approval of the new build at Darlington. The May 14 ruling by Justice James Russell orders more study of hazardous substance emissions, the proper handling of nuclear waste and more detailed analysis of how the site’s operators would deal with a severe acci- dent. Referred to by Greenpeace’s Shawn-Pat- rick Stensil as a “common-sense ruling”, it effectively puts the ball back in play for Ontario Power Generation to determine its next steps. OPG’s Neal Kelly said the com- pany must first fully review Justice Russell’s ruling before deciding how to proceed. It’s not likely that OPG will simply aban- don its plans for the new build at Darling- ton. A huge investment of time, money and human resources have already been spent in preparing the site for the environmental assessment approved by the federal panel. Additional study will cost more, certain- ly, but will also dig deeper into identify- ing methods and processes to address the areas flagged by Justice Russell in his rul- ing. In the aftermath of the Fukushima disas- ter in Japan, manageable plans for nucle- ar emissions, waste storage and, especial- ly, the emergency response to a severe accident are vitally important to Durham Region residents. So, though the legal ruling represents a setback for advocates of the new build who have been working hard in recent years to see it move forward, it also represents for the larger community one more hard and close look at ways to mitigate the impact on the natural environment and more detailed response plans should the worst happen. We call on OPG to accept the ruling and work quickly to address the gaps Justice Russell has identified in the existing envi- ronmental assessment, move forward in creating detailed plans for emergency response and clear this vitally important step. The new build isn’t going to happen any time soon given Ontario’s current long- term energy plan. Still, addressing all the issues identified today will allow OPG offi- cials to hit the ground running when the decision comes. We don’t make up the news A number of readers wanted to slap our wrists a few weeks ago over a story we did on what was first reported as pepper spray being used at an Oshawa McDonald’s. To those readers who feel we make the news up, we don’t. If we did we’d come up with something more exciting than teenag- ers using pepper spray at a McDonald’s. Online editor Bruce Froude first heard on our scanner the EMS workers reporting to a call at the McDonald’s at Ritson and Dean. That’s not an unusual circumstance. Emer- gency workers get called out all the time. What was interesting on this occasion was when they started noting over the scanner that pepper spray had been used. That’s when he informed me and I had a photographer and reporter head over to the restaurant. The initial report was that a patron had been sprayed by the substance after confronting a few unruly teens. When the reporter got there, he and a few others in the restaurant reported the air in the building burned their eyes and nose. We wrote the story and quickly got it online. It was our most popular story that day. The next day, police said pepper spray wasn’t used in the building. There was no explanation as to the substance making everyone’s eyes and nose burn. We then reported the police’s updated position. Quickly, a few readers took us to task for making up the news. As I said, we didn’t. We reported what we heard, saw and in this instance, felt. What we should have done was check with police a few hours later, not the next day. That’s a lesson learned. I don’t mind criticism. In 27 years in this business I’ve heard it all but why a few peo- ple still believe we make up the news per- plexes me. If we did, we wouldn’t be in busi- ness. Stories unravel fast, the truth always has a way of coming out and the courts are there to clean up the mess. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston still can’t get over the fact his longtime friend Crystal Crimi has left the news business to become a cop. Mike Johnston Managing Editor Newsroom So, what’s the deal on all this talk? I stopped regularly listening to commer- cial radio around or just shortly after the time I unplugged myself and my family from commercial and cable television. I guess I had just reached some kind of stupidity saturation point. Which, as any- one who has ever watched me try to build something will attest, is really saying some- thing. Looking back, I don’t think it’s any coincidence that my decision to abandon television and radio came shortly after the arrival of both reality programming and that temple of bombast, talk radio, genres that were to public broadcasting what the trojan horse was to Troy. What is perhaps even more insidious than the moronic programming, however, is the relentless advertising. It’s like agreeing to have the Hamster Dance song injected into your brain every 10 minutes. I know there are clever, even artful ad campaigns out there. I’ve seen and heard them and even, hopefully, been a part of a few. These are rare as hen’s teeth, however, and the bulk of radio and TV spots are, let’s face it, pure dreck. Worse, they are an irritant. I really don’t know how some people sit in their vehicles day in and day out and put up with it. Having commercial radio on in the car is like having a loudmouthed idiot sit- ting in the passenger seat screaming inani- ties at you every few minutes. “You won’t find a better deal than this.” “Hurry stupid, this offer won’t last.” “Space is limited. Call today.” OK, OK. Geez, what was I thinking driv- ing into work today? Turn this car around. There are deals to be had and I don’t want to be left out. Personally, there’s nothing more off-put- ting than having my intelligence insulted by advertising hyperbole. Recently I heard some dope shrilly proclaiming the virtues of his new ‘state of the art’ car dealership. Really? ‘State of the art’? I’m at a loss to imagine what cutting edge gadgetry could possibly propel a glassed-in room where you walk around and wait to spend money to ‘state of the art’. ‘On-site therapy’ perhaps? A smartly appointed leather and chrome couch with a goateed doctorate who reassures you in his well-modulated voice that paying that much for an extended warranty does not make you clinically insane? Maybe a time travel machine? Something that would allow you to skip a few years into the future to find out if this jalopy really is just a fireball waiting to happen? Or what about some- thing as simple as a ‘truth dispenser’? Now that would be useful. I’m afraid sticking a Tassimo in the corner, throwing up a few pot lights and having the daily newspapers available does not quali- fy as ‘cutting edge’. At the other end of this spectrum, of course, you get those people who seem to perennially be a few light years behind the curve. I always love when I drive by an establishment that still thinks ‘satel- lite TV and ice cold beer’ is going to bring them in. You may as well boast about hav- ing a roof and indoor plumbing. As I age, however, I now tend to opt for the wisdom inherent in this old saw: ‘I’m no sci- entist, but I know what I like’. And you really won’t find a better deal than that. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 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 • Ma y 2 1 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP 10 NHL scorers so far in the 2014 playoffs Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Let’s Talk Weigh in with readers on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham Poll We recently asked our Facebook friends to weigh in with their thoughts on the things that really make them see red.

Sellers: Advertise adequately in visible areas. Don’t forget to take down the signs after- wards. Display your items in an attractive way. Please price all items clearly. Leave some room for negotiating the price but don’t “give away” the item. Make sure you have coin change for sales. Don’t open for business too early in the day; 9 a.m. is the perfect time to start. Buyers: Don’t insult the seller by haggling too low a price. Don’t come earlier than the stat- ed time (especially the night before). Bring change or smaller bills Enjoy your garage sales!

My rant is ...who are these people on the board and who gave them the right to award pay packages that far exceed anything these individuals could pos- sibly earn in the private sector? They certainly can’t be concerned taxpayers themselve..... Larry Dickinson: People who drive slowly in the centre lane on the 401. Move to the right people where you are suppose to be. You are holding up traffic and causing back-ups, slow downs, and accidents. Amanda Yorke: School bullying. Our schools promote no bullying, how- ever when something does happen it gets swept under the rug. My son has been through this all school year from the same student and nothing gets done in the face of bullying. Katherine Barrett: People who are STILL constantly texting and on the phone while driving. Karen Lynn Smith: Why can’t the government help the 12 year old girl that needs Cystic Fibrosis medi- cation she needs to survive? And the lady that passed away with cancer? All she wanted was to spend a few more months with her family. Is it too much to ask?

Working in conjunc- tion with Durham Hospice, we will pro- file people who are nearing the end of life’s journey. We will also be featuring the peo- ple and volunteers associated with Durham Hospice. BOWMANVILLE -- It’s hard to imagine that somebody could find something positive to take from the fact they have been diag- nosed with ALS. It speaks to the character of Karen Hills. Terminally ill with ALS (amyotrophic lat- eral sclerosis), more commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease after the famous baseball player, Karen is sitting in the living room of her Bowmanville home, shedding some light on her current state. Her fate has been determined. She was told in February by doctors she has six months at most to live because the onset of ALS began in her limbs, and not her jaw and respiratory system, where it is begin- ning to slowly spread now. “I was kind of lucky,” she says, trying to put things in perspective. “It gave me more time. I feel I lucked out. Because I now know I’m dying, I have the opportunity to enjoy and spend family time. I cook when I can and enjoy family and that’s what mat- ters to me.” Karen came into the world under unique circumstances. Her father a sea captain and her mother a cook, she was born on a boat in the middle of the Welland Canal in 1956. The boat was docked, there was a snowstorm, and her mom went into pre- mature labour. The bottom drawer of a dresser served as a crib in those initial days. Home was a cabin on a big ocean liner for her first five years. “I played on the boat. Had a dog. I thought it was a normal life,” she recalls. Years later she met her husband Don, who works at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville. Their path started in Ajax, then to Whitby, Oshawa and finally they settled in Bowmanville in 1991. They are the parents of Katrina, 31, Rachel, 30, and Felicia 26, and have six grandkids, all boys ranging in age from two to 10. “Professional cookie eaters,” she refers to the grandkids fondly. It was May 2013 when she first noticed things just weren’t right. She fell at work, and noticed her muscles were weakening. Daily tasks became difficult. “I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t peel potatoes anymore,” she recalls. “It’s the small motor skills that you lose. I had to quit (work) because I couldn’t keep my balance. I was setting my apron on fire. I could fall anytime. I couldn’t lift up the jugs to put them in the fridge anymore.” Initially, doctors thought she had MS, but her muscles continued to weaken at a rapid rate. A trip to a hospital in Toronto in Feb- ruary finally diagnosed the mystery as ALS. “(The doctor) said open your mouth. I didn’t know what he was doing. I was so nervous with somebody being in my face. He said you have all the earmarks in your mouth of Lou Gehrig’s disease,” by the way her tongue moved in and out. “‘You realize, there’s no hope. There’s nothing they can do,’” she said the doctor told her. She cried all the way home from Toron- to. A subsequent trip to an ALS clinic con- firmed the diagnosis. The next step was tell- ing her daughters. “It took a while to sink in and for me to really react,” says Felicia. “I told mom a long time ago that she wasn’t allowed to leave me because I’m not grown up yet. I still need her. “I may be old enough to live on my own but it doesn’t mean I want to do it by myself.” The winter was a long one as Karen’s motor skills deteriorated. “I couldn’t cook, so I was frustrated about that. I can’t put my own socks on. Now my speaking is going. The next thing that hap- pens will be a feeding tube. “Usually you get paralyzed from the neck down. Your head stays alert. Your senses are perfect, but what life is that?” She lists off some positives, including the support she has received from an ALS group, as well as family and friends. She’s also lost 50 pounds, which concerns some. “I don’t care. If I get skinny I’ll think it’s a plus,” she jokes. Karen is checking items off her bucket list, which are very short-term. She wants to make sure she has a card and a gift for everyone in the family for birthdays and Christmas this year. She also wants to do the same for her husband Don, who reach- es a milestone 60th birthday in July. The last item on her list will be to donate her brain, spinal cord and blood for ALS research, her legacy for generations to come. “Anything that makes a cure, I would be indebted. Definitely.” Attitude is everythingFinding positives in something so negative Barb Henderson gets her wish Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- It was an afternoon of mixed emotions for Barb Henderson. Humbled. Overwhelmed. Flattered. But mostly, appreciative. The terminally ill Oshawa resident had one wish before her life’s journey comes to a conclusion: to spend an afternoon with friends and family, laughing and remi- niscing about old times, and forgetting about her current state. That wish was made a reality by an old high school friend from O’Neill Collegiate, Donna Horky, who put together a reunion at Storey Park Clubhouse in Oshawa on Sunday, May 4. “I picked up the paper and I looked, and I looked again, and I thought, my God, that’s Barb,” recalls Ms. Horky of seeing the My Life feature story in April. “I read the story and I thought to myself that there was something I wanted to do for her. “I decided she was going to have her wish. I think that’s the greatest thing. Just talk about old times.” The two were high school friends, but as time passed, social circles changed over the years. When Ms. Henderson arrived at the reunion, the clubhouse was full of family and friends. Even Oshawa Mayor John Henry stopped in, but because of another commitment and the late arrival of Ms. Henderson, the two didn’t connect. “Amazement that there were so many people here,” says Ms. Henderson of her ini- tial reaction to the crowd when she arrived. “I didn’t expect everything to be the way it was. I thought it was going to be small, intimate with family.” It was anything but. It was estimated that 250 to 300 people stopped in during the course of the afternoon. BOWMANVILLE -- Karen Hills is terminally ill with ALS, more commonly know as Lou Gehrig’s disease. She is the mother of three daughters and has six grandsons.

Impaired charge laid in crash that injured Ajax woman AJAX -- Drunk driving charges have been laid in connection with a crash that sent a young woman to hospital with life-threatening injuries Monday night in Ajax. Durham police closed Kingston Road near Lakeridge Road for several hours following the 11 p.m. crash. Police said an eastbound Pontiac Montana van rear-ended a Fiat hatch- back; both vehicles left the roadway and wound up in the ditch on the north side of the road. Drivers of both vehicles were extricat- ed and taken to hospital. The driver of the Fiat, a 19-year-old Ajax woman, was later transferred to a Toronto trauma centre with life-threat- ening injuries. The van driver sustained minor inju- ries and was arrested at the hospital, police said. Joan Skelton, 56, of Woodcock Avenue in Ajax, is charged with impaired driv- ing causing bodily harm and driving while exceeding the legal blood alcohol limit. Sharpe twins will be happy together at George Mason The Speed Academy athletes will run track on NCAA scholarships Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Taylor and Sommer Sharpe came into the world as a package deal, and that’s how the two will embark on their uni- versity endeavours as well. Taylor, the older of the twins by eight min- utes, and Sommer are off together to George Mason University in Virginia where they will run track for the Patriots on scholarship. “Essentially my parents did see that as beneficial to have the package deal, finan- cial wise, travel wise,” says Sommer of head- ing to a NCAA university together. “It was always a package deal but it did make it more difficult when you’re talking to a uni- versity because now you’re talking about two kids coming together.” Originally, Taylor had a clear vision of what she wanted from her university experi- ence, but over time, changed her mind. “At one point I wanted to go to a big school,” she says. “A big name school, with a huge football team. Somewhere in a big city. “Then I realized those schools are far away. I don’t have family there. The edu- cation isn’t as good as at George Mason. I won’t be with my sister and I was going to be a small fish in a huge pond. I looked at the pros and cons and (George) Mason seemed like the best option.” The 17-year-old Grade 12 students at St. Mary Catholic High School are mem- bers of the Pickering-based Speed Acade- my, coached by their dad, Tony, and mom Colene. Genetics were certainly an influ- ence, as Tony won an Olympic bronze medal as a member of the Canadian men’s 4x100m relay team at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles, and Colene represented Canada on the international stage as well. But those lofty credentials didn’t make their way down the gene pool immediate- ly. The twins ran track for the local club and high school, but the dedication to the sport wasn’t where it needed to be to reach the next level. That changed for both last sum- mer. “In Grade 11 it turned serious because other kids on my track team were getting scholarships and I saw it was a reality,” says Sommer, who changed her ways with more focus, leading to a drive for success. Taylor came to the same conclusion. “Everyone here who runs track that’s my age was trying to make the national team and I wanted to make it,” she says. “So, I had to get myself together and I made it. I had an awesome experience.” She wanted the travel to places like Europe and Ukraine for competitions to continue, striving for a trip to the Pan Ams and Olym- pics as future goals. Taylor is looking forward to contributing to the track team as a freshman, running the 200 and 400-metre, while taking communi- cations as her major. Sommer is a hurdler, covering the 100 and 400-metre distances, who will be taking criminal justice, with hopes of becoming a lawyer. 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 • Ma y 2 1 , 2 0 1 4 14 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 PICKERING -- Sommer, left, and Taylor Sharpe will be heading to George Mason University in Virginia on track scholarships.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Ajax Ironheads complete home stretch with game against the Mimico Mountaineers AJAX -- A string of six game in a row on their home floor comes to a conclusion tonight for the Ajax Ironheads. The Ontario Lacrosse Association Jr. B club will welcome the Mimico Mountaineers to the Ajax Community Centre for an 8 p.m. start. The game will be on Pad 4. Due to renovations to the floors at the Ajax Community Centre, the Ironheads have had most of their home games scheduled early in the season. The Ironheads take a 3-5-0 record into tonight’s game. Pickering Panthers are moving players on to the next level Three sign with NCAA hockey programs Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The Pickering Panthers have taken another step in their ongoing efforts to gain respectability. Three players from the hockey club have committed to NCAA Division-3 programs, including Mike Walker (Elmi- ra College, New York), Robert Cammal- leri (Curry College, Massachusetts), and Mason Evans (Connecticut College, Con- necticut). Walker and Cammalleri will join their respective programs in the fall, while Evans is committed for 2015. Walker finished second in the team’s scoring race with 25-23-48 point totals this past season, while Cammalleri had 18-21-39 numbers. Evans, a defenceman acquired from Buffalo at the trade dead- line, put up 5-21-26 totals this season. Another player, goaltender Steven Dombrosky, is considering a few NCAA options, while forward Mike Nedoszytko will be going to Ryerson. “It’s big for our organization,” said GM/ head coach Mike Galati. “It’s nice to see for the kids who have worked hard and they deserve it.” The commitments will also help the Ontario Junior Hockey League club in its recruiting efforts as it continues to raise its appeal level to players. “Especially with the older guys in their last couple of years,” Galati agreed. “We are going to have four or five of our 20 year olds move on to play hockey. “For the older guys coming to Pickering we do our best to find them a home after hockey at the junior level. It’s a tough day when you’ve played your last junior game and you don’t know what to do next.” The Panthers hosted 80 skaters and 25 goalies for a spring evaluation camp recently, and will be extending 10-15 invitations to the main camp in August. Galati said it was the best young talent he has seen in the last three years, add- ing the prospects will provide some opti- mism for next season. 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 • Ma y 2 1 , 2 0 1 4 15 AP SALES REPRESENTATIVEWe are a National manufacturer and distributor of products to the hardware trade.

You were the one taking my hand And watching over me like I did for you when you were a child. You were always there for me, And would say "Mom, if you need me, remember I am just around the corner". When we lost Jeff I thought I would never feel such pain again, And I lost his mother and realized how wrong I was. My mind, heart & soul are filled with sadness. I think of you every minute of the day And long to hear your voice and to reach out and touch your dear face. You were a wonderful daughter and a wonderful person with a heart full of love. I am lost without you. ~ Forever in My Heart ~ Mom DE TAEYE, Rudy Jules (GM employee, CSYS, Peregrine and Makita Canada). April 18th 1957 - May 17th 2014. Sadly, Rudy left us on Saturday, May 17th 2014 surrounded by the love of his family at home. He was a devoted husband and best friend to Jacqui van Belleghem for more than 35 years. Rudy was an amazing father and supporter of Steven (Candace), Shawn (Rebekah), Danielle (Ryan) and Nina. Rudy will be forever missed by his furry, four-legged best friend Luci. He will be remembered by his new granddaughter Charlie and the grandson "on the way." Rudy was predeceased by his parents Adelin Maurits de Taeye and Christiana Suzanna Celina Laureyns of Maldegem, Belgium. He was the favourite son-in-law of Florent and Annie van Belleghem. He is survived by his sister Berth de Taeye (Johan Cauwels) from Maldegem, Belgium. Rudy will be fondly remembered by his sisters and brothers-in-law Yvonne, Caroline (Doug), Pierre (Natasha), Florent, Joanne (Ken), Monique (Fred), and Michelle (Gabe). He will be remembered as the humourous & loving uncle to Christof (Sandra), Nathalie (Gunther), Luke, Melanie, Joseph, Ryan (Ashley), Sarah (Kyle), Lindsay, Bianca, Katarina, Julian, Christian, Brennan, Megaera and Molly. Rudy was a great-uncle to Kiara, Matthias, Elly and Jorn. The family will receive friends at DeSTEFANO FUNERAL HOME, 1289 Keith Ross Drive, Oshawa (South side of Taunton Rd, East of Thornton Rd) 905-440-3595. Visitation with the family will be on Friday, May 23rd from 2-4 pm and 7-9pm. The "Celebration of Life" service will be held at 11am on Saturday May 24th at De Stefano Funeral Home. Rudy was an avid supporter of Hearth Place Cancer Support Centre and would be honoured to have donations made in his name. Hearth Place Cancer Support Centre, 86 Colborne St. W., Oshawa, ON L1G 1L7 905-579-4833.

Ruth was born on the family farm on Brock Road South in Pickering to John and Wilhemina Toms on Oct. 8, 1915, and spent most of her life on Altona Road, with a hiatus of 16 years living in Batawa. She is predeceased by her husband Harry (1983), sisters Jean (Berwick) and Dorothy (Burton), and step-brother Edward Brown. Loving and much loved mother to Ann (Tyas), Richard (deceased) (Teresa), and Robert (Darlene). Devoted grandmother to Randall (Anne), Suzanne (Joe), Jonathan (Simone), Stacey (Feliz), Troy (Carolee), Lindsay (deceased), Jason (Amy), Rob, Jennifer (Jason), and Adam (Lisa). Great-grandmother to Katie, Jack, Anna, Gretchen, Nicholas, Jasper, Solaine, Giselle, Liryn, Kaidyn, Riley, Graedon, Tyler, Lucas, Zoë, and Nexie. She will also be fondly remembered by Margaret Pearce, Ruth Cain, and her nieces and nephews. We are all grateful for the support of Christine, Karen, Diane, Michael, Walter, and the staff at Abbeylawn Manor. She lived through the Depression, and saw the world expand as transportation evolved from horse and buggy to space travel. Aside from her family, her great loves included travel (her last major trip at 95 was a Mediterranean cruise), porcelain artistry, books, Bridge and a dry martini. She worked as a librarian in the Scarborough/ Highland Creek areas during the 1960's and 70's. She always enjoyed a good laugh and was game to try anything once. She was our anchor, a true matriarch. She will be missed. Funeral service at McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME (28 Old Kingston Road, Ajax, 905-428-8488) on Friday, May 23 at 1:30 pm; visitation before the service from 12 to 1:30 pm.
