She’s tall with well-toned mus- cles that are a testament to gym dedication, strong arms show- cased in a tank top. She’s carting a bottle of water, one of four to six litres she drinks every day. “I got to the point where I was fed up,” the 33-year-old school teacher says, in beginning her story of how she transformed herself from an overweight size 24 to a fitness competition win- ner. “I had always had a problem with my weight.” FEATURE SERIESNA Pressrun 54,400 / 52 pages / Optional 3-week delivery $6 / $1 newsstand Durham family releases surveillance video Son’s smartphone stolen at local roller rink; family makes appeal to have it returned.durhamregion.com PINER IDGEnurseriesPlant & Horticultural Experts Garden Decor & Gifts D.I.Y.

WED., SEPT. 24, 2014 / A publication of PICKERING -- Residents in the Fairport Beach neighbourhood are upset by plans to urbanize their com- munity, including cutting down 30 mature trees and widening the roads. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Neighbourhood fights to save trees from ‘urbanization’ City of Pickering says it’s a difficult balancing act Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- One of Pickering’s oldest neighbourhoods is push- ing back against “urbanization” plans that residents say would change the unique character of their community. Residents of Park Crescent, in the Fairport Beach neighbour- hood, say about 30 mature trees are on the chopping block as the City makes way for new hydro connections and storm sewers. Concerned resident Lynn Wat- kins says the loss of trees will “rad- ically” change the streetscape. “The mature trees and street- side ditches are key features that make this area feel like a special place, a bit of country in the city,” she explains. The urbanization plans are related to a new subdivision being built nearby. See PICKERING page 8 Pickering residents can apply for snow clearing help until Oct. 24 PICKERING -- The City of Pickering is now accepting appli- cations for its snow clearing pro- gram for seniors and people with disabilities. Eligible residents can apply for the upcoming season by mail or in person at City Hall until Oct. 24. Names will be placed in a new computer lottery system which will draw the first 375 names for the program. Residents with proof of permanent disability will be given priority. The program includes the urban area of Pickering south of Taunton Road, and this year has been expanded to include the hamlets of Brougham, Cla- remont, Greenwood and White- vale. To qualify for the program, resi- dents must be over age 65 or pro- vide proof of permanent disabili- ty that prohibits them from snow clearing, as certified by a doctor. The program also requires that no one under age 65 resides in the home, unless they too have a permanent disability that would prevent them from clearing snow.

Durham Region prepared for Ebola: officials Health department’s role would include tracking at-risk returning travellers Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Durham Region health department is poised to respond if there is a local case of Ebola. However, Brenda Kwan, manager of environmental health, said local resi- dents shouldn’t fear an outbreak. “Africa has special circumstances that we don’t have here,” she explains. “Our health-care system is much more advanced. Especially after SARS, our infection control practices have improved.” On Sept. 18, Ms. Kwan gave region- al council’s health and social services committee an update on the Ebola crisis unfolding in West Africa, and an over- view of how Durham would respond if there was a local case of the virus. The health department’s main role would be to track returning travellers who are at risk for Ebola. Canada Border Services Agency would direct anyone with risk factors to con- tact health department staff, who would then follow up by phone with the affect- ed person over a period of 21 days, which is the incubation period for Ebola. Ms. Kwan says a risk assessment tool created by Public Health Ontario would be used to determine the level of risk and follow-up needed, which could range from weekly to daily phone calls to the patient to discuss any symptoms. Ebola often manifests with the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, mus- cle pain, headache and sore throat. That may be followed by symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea and, in some cases, both internal and external bleeding. If there was a confirmed case of Ebola in Durham, the health department would assist local hospitals in setting up testing at Canada’s National Microbiol- ogy Laboratory in Winnipeg. Politicians raised several questions, including whether local hospitals are equipped to handle Ebola. “Do we have an isolation or quaran- tine area within each hospital?” asked Clarington Councillor Willie Woo. “I would be concerned about the smaller hospitals.” Ms. Kwan said Durham’s larger hos- pitals have appropriate containment areas. She noted smaller hospitals might have “a bit of a challenge” but said the fact that the Ebola virus is not airborne means it could be controlled. “You really do have to touch blood or bodily fluids to pick up the virus,” she stressed, adding that Ebola can be “eas- ily” eliminated from the environment using common disinfectants such as household bleach. Ms. Kwan told committee the spread of the virus in Africa is due to a complex set of challenges that would never be seen in Canada. Those factors include weak health- care infrastructure, lack of general infection control procedures, distrust of government and social customs that include families washing and touching the bodies of their deceased loved ones. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said he feels confident that Durham is well prepared. “We have all the precautions in place; one important thing we can do is make sure the public is informed,” he said, asking the health department to post Ebola information on its website. Health department staff is continu- ing to monitor updates from agencies such as the World Health Organization and Public Health Ontario and forward information to the local medical com- munity. EBOLA BACKGROUNDER The current Ebola outbreak is the largest ever and the first for west Africa and is currently raging in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, and Nigeria, according to the U.S.-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The outbreak has claimed an estimated 2,600 lives, with an estimated 4,985 reported cases of the disease as of Sept. 12, based on World Health Organization reports. The WHO predicts the number of cases could reach 20,000. Ebola virus disease (formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever) is a severe, often fatal illness, with a death rate of up to 90 per cent. The illness affects humans and non-human primates (monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees). Ebola first appeared in 1976 in two simultaneous outbreaks, one in a village near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the other in a remote area of Sudan. Fruit bats are considered the likely host of the Ebola virus, based on available evidence. Some sickened with Ebola recover, although the reasons for their recovery is not yet known. No specific vaccine or medicine (e.g., antiviral drug) has been proven to be effective against Ebola. Treatment includes intravenous fluids and balancing electrolytes (body salts), maintaining oxygen status and blood pressure and treating other infections if they occur. ZMapp is an experimental treatment for use with individuals infected with Ebola virus. It has not yet been tested in humans for safety or effectiveness, although researchers are seeing positive results on tests conducted on monkeys. The treatment was given to two doctors and a nurse infected with Ebola and all recovered. Two others who received the experimental drugs later died of Ebola.‘‘Our health-care system is much more advanced.

Jenny Tran was arrested for breach of recognizance as she arrived at the court- house in Oshawa at noon Monday. A bench warrant for her arrest was issued when she failed to show up for her trial last Friday. It was expected Ms. Tran would be held for a bail hearing Tuesday. Her arrest was executed at the front doors of the courthouse when she showed up two hours after the scheduled start time for her appearance. It is the latest devel- opment in Ms. Tran’s peculiar trial, which began Wednesday and has been plagued by interruptions since. Ms. Tran has pleaded not guilty to eight fraud-related charges arising from her Holistic Wellness Clinic on Westney Road South. The Crown alleges Ms. Tran false- ly portrayed herself as an accredited pro- vider of paramedical services, including acupuncture and massage therapy. She is accused of defrauding insurance compa- nies of more than $45,000. Since her arrest in 2010, four separate trial dates have been set for Ms. Tran. The previous three have been adjourned at her request. On Sept. 17, the day the current trial was to begin, Ms. Tran was absent. She showed up the next day, claiming she’d been ill, and pleaded with Superior Court Justice Kelly Wright for another adjournment. The judge ruled the trial would proceed. At lunch time that day Ms. Tran dialled 911 from the courthouse and was taken by ambulance to hospital in Oshawa; the trial was adjourned for the afternoon. When Friday rolled around and Ms. Tran was once again a no-show, Justice Wright issued a bench warrant for her immedi- ate arrest. But the weekend passed without her being taken into custody. Monday prosecutor Taran Boodoos- ingh told the judge he’d been informed Ms. Tran was on her way to court. But she never made it to the courtroom. As she approached a security station at the front doors of the courthouse she was placed under arrest, handcuffed, and marched by police officers to holding cells in the base- ment. She’s charged with a breach of her bail conditions. Ajax man accused in Durham College/ UOIT stabbing freed on bail Victim recovering from life-threatening wounds Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A man accused of stabbing a fellow student on the campus of Osha- wa’s UOIT and Durham College has been freed on bail. Hamza Tariq was released Friday eve- ning on $10,000 bail. He’ll live under house arrest at his parents’ home in Ajax and is banned from UOIT properties as he awaits trial. Mr. Tariq, 19, faces charges includ- ing aggravated assault following a fight at a campus coffee shop Sept. 17 that left a fellow student with life-threaten- ing injuries. A suspect fled the scene but was arrested the following day, Durham police said. The Crown opposed Mr. Tariq’s release when he appeared in bail court Sept. 19. A court order prohibits reporting on evi- dence presented during the hearing. Police responding to a report of a stab- bing near a Tim Horton’s outlet at a campus building on Sept. 17 found a 22-year-old student with life-threatening wounds. He underwent surgery and as of Sept. 19 was listed in stable condition. Mr. Tariq was arrested Sept. 18 on charges of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession of a dan- gerous weapon.The MattaniahChristianMaleChoir Friday, September 26th at 8:00 pmHebron Christian Reformed Church4240Anderson St., Whitby $10 adults $8 seniors $25 family This is a benefit concert for Durham ChristianHomes Long-term Care facilities.For information call Simon Bax 905-668-5551 Thine i s t h e g l o r y concert which will also feature Guest Tenor Soloist Dr. Benjamin Ho with Director Herman den Hollander and organist Andre Knevel Ne w s t i p ? n e w s r o o m @ d u r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 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 • Se p t e m b e r 2 4 , 2 0 1 4 4 AP FREE INFORMATION SEMINARSAND LUNCHEONS FOR SENIORS Co-Sponsored by Chris Alexander, MP Ajax-Pickering and Joe Dickson, MPP Ajax-Pickering Chris Alexander MP Ajax-Pickering Joe Dickson MPP Ajax-Pickering Friday September 26th: Ajax Legion - #322 Friday October 3rd: Pickering (Bay Ridges) Legion - #606 9:00 am to 1:00 pm Coffee Break: 10:30 am Lunch: Noon, Compliments of the MP and MPP ALL ARE WELCOME!FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO RESERVE YOUR SEATS, PLEASE CALL TERRY AT 905-427-2060 OR COCO AT 905-426-6808 If You Are...

Melissa Noble O ld guys know the hockey action is in the dressing room It’s that time of year again. I don’t mean the days are getting longer cliché type of thing. I mean the important stuff, specifically, men’s hockey (beer leagues) or in my case old (older) men’s hockey. We are about to start the annual ritual of former athletes(?) trying to reclaim their perceived glory days (sorry, Bruce Springsteen, this is hockey not baseball) on the ice. The league is filled with coulda beens, still wannabes, never had a chance but didn’t know its, and some still playing for the scouts in the stands. But most of us are just there for a skate and some fun. The reality is that what happens on the ice is superfluous. The dressing room is where the real action is for men of our advanced age. The camara- derie and one liners are what are important. This is especially true of the first week. That is the only time when we can enumerate how many cats used their master’s hockey bag as a kitty litter box for the sum- mer or how many people’s hockey pants shrank for no apparent reason. Discussions are not confined to hockey matters. There is the important update regarding who traded in their Harley for a BMW and why. Who went where, when and why over the summer. What’s up with the Ford camp? Or, back to hockey, why the Leafs are doomed (or going to win the cup). In reality, hockey is Canada’s national sport. Lacrosse is technically in the running but we all know it really isn’t. It’s our game and the sooner the rest of the world admits it the better. I work in the golf industry. One of the marketing slogans for golf is a game for a lifetime. That may be true but hockey is turning into our game for a lifetime and we don’t need to take a cart. When I first moved to Uxbridge some 20-plus years ago, I looked into playing senior hockey. I stopped pursuing it when I found out there was a three-year waiting list and realized that at my advanced age (40) there was no way I would still be playing hockey in three years. Times have changed. Zoomers are taking over the world. As George Burns said, “You can’t help getting older but you don’t have to get old.” Drop the puck. -- Ted Tom is a longtime Durham Region resident and a professor at Seneca College. Ted Tom Guest Column Hockey season No need to panic over EV-D68 virus The enterovirus that is making children and teens quick sick these days is out there, but it’s not here. The EV-D68 virus, which can cause severe respiratory illness, has been con- firmed in the U.S. -- with some cases now showing up in Canada -- but there is no indication yet that it has reached Durham Region, according to Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Kyle. More than 100 cases have been report- ed, with some hospitalizations required. And it appears to hit children and teens hardest, especially those with underlying conditions such as asthma. But it’s not a new virus, certainly noth- ing like SARS that shook Canada in 2003, and it generally runs its course as do most respiratory illnesses. Parents of those who become infected are encouraged to treat the symptoms to provide relief as they would similar rhino- viruses. In terms of providing a measure of pro- tection, families are encouraged to prac- tice good hygiene such as washing hands frequently with soap and water, especial- ly after touching surfaces; avoid touching the eyes or mouth, and covering up when coughing or sneezing. The virus began showing up in children living in the U.S. as recently as August, some of whom were treated in hospitals. From there, it has spread to 10 states. Here in Canada, cases have been report- ed in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. Updated reporting methods have served to provide necessary information to fami- lies and parents in a timely manner, eas- ing concerns and averting the sort of panic that surrounded the mysterious symptoms and origins of SARS when it surfaced in 2003. And credit is due to Dur- ham Region for getting out in front of the issue to ease the ever-present concerns of Durham Region parents as it relates to their children’s health. There are no vaccines and no specific treatment, notes Dr. Kyle. Thus, in the vast majority of cases, parents must use com- mon sense, provide plenty of fluids and treat the associated symptoms with over- the-counter medicines until the virus runs its course. In the simplest terms, EV-D68 is seri- ous enough that it should motivate par- ents to be keenly aware of symptoms chil- dren might exhibit in the coming days and react accordingly, but not so serious that it should prompt a public scare, or the mobilization of the entire health care sys- tem. When the leaves turn colour, it’s time to tie on the apron I must have been an Amish grandmother in a previous life. When the weather turns the slightest bit colder and the leaves even start thinking about changing colour, all I want to do is bake. I want to fire up the oven and fill the place with hermits, ginger snaps and maca- roons. When my kids were still at home, this behaviour dovetailed beautifully with their ravenous fall-fueled appetites. Nothing made me happier than to be able to have the house redolent of freshly baked cookies when they came bounding into the kitchen after school. It put a huge smile on my face to watch them two-fisting cookies and milk or snarfing brownies while telling me about their day. Kids can do that, by the way. They have no issue whatsoever in stuffing them- selves with cookies at 4 o’clock and still being good to go for dinner two hours later. It’s impressive. But now that it’s just Kathryn and me at home, what’s an Amish grandmother to do? Who’s going to eat all this stuff? I already take enormous heat when I make up a batch of homemade chocolate peanut but- ter cup ice cream or a couple of tubs of dou- ble chocolate chip cookies. I had no idea when I entered into this relationship that my kale-nibbling, flax-munching partner was, in fact, a recovering treat-a-holic. She is routinely militant about putting only the very healthiest of things into her -- I am the first to admit -- beautifully lithe body, but if the goodies are there, she has no off switch. Or if she does, she apparently puts duct tape over it. Who knew? I suppose I should’ve put two and two together when I saw the phone number for the Keebler Methadone Clinic on the fridge. I accept full culpability for all of this, mind you. For years, her ‘out of sight-out of mind’ system was working perfectly and then I came along and threw a giant, sugar-glazed wrench into the works. I am no better than a cookie enabler. The thing is, baking, for me, is not real- ly about being hungry. It’s almost a form of therapy. A tray of brownies is not mere- ly the product of eggs, flour, chocolate and heat. It is the confluence and delightful result of a medley of things that make me feel good. Vintage Motown blaring from the stereo, single malt scotch to sip in between test bites, the invigorating nip of fresh fall air flowing through the window, cooling whatever has just emerged from the oven. And using my hands. For an individual who spends hours and hours each week sit- ting in silent, cerebral concentration, a little gross motor work goes a long way. I think this is why people enjoy things like gardening, wood-working and nude tat- ting so much. There is enormous pleasure in not just imagining but physically creat- ing things. It’s good for us. Maybe not so much the cookies, brownies and yards of snickerdoodles, but it could be worse. I’m not in the basement wiring blocks of C-4 into fishing vests or sticking pins through exotic beetles. And it’s not like it goes on all year long either. Once the weather warms up, I’m no longer the Amish grandma. The last thing I want to do then is turn the oven on. At that point, I’m only interested in the blender and the liquor cabinet. Although, I wonder, is there such a thing as an Amish bartender? Anyone up for a Flaming Bon- net? A Bourbon Silo? Haymaker?

Strong wind gusts and heavy rain made walking the streets difficult. It was a windy and rainy day and I needed a weather picture. I waited at a busy pedestrian intersection waiting for an umbrella to mal- function and I didn’t have to wait long. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND Before you leave: 1.

Richard Holborn, the City’s director of engineering and public works, says the black walnut trees at the centre of the dispute are “in conflict” with the location of necessary new storm sewers and a hydro pole. He acknowledged that more trees are being chopped down than initially expected, but said sometimes those details aren’t known until design work is done. “The trees are in declining health, they’re not going to last much longer anyway,” Mr. Holborn noted. The City plans to replace some -- but not all -- of the trees that are cut down, and will give residents a say in choos- ing what species are planted. “They seem to be making the easy choice as opposed to the right choice,” says Elio Atunes, who lives on Park Crescent. “If we put our heads together we could find solutions that preserve the trees.” Neighbourhood residents are also concerned that initial plans to widen the street by 18 inches have now changed to four feet in some areas, and eight feet in others. During the summer months people park illegally on the street to access nearby Petticoat Creek Conservation area, and residents say a wider street will exacerbate the prob- lem as well as encourage speeding. Mr. Holborn said it is an ongoing challenge to balance the need for new infrastructure with keeping the character of older neighbourhoods. “We are not in the business of devastating communities to put in infrastructure. We try to work with residents as much as we can.” PICKERING from page 1 Pickering library honoured as a champion of diversity PICKERING -- The Pickering Public Library was recently honoured with a Diversity and Immigration Champion award from the Local Diversity and Immigration Partnership Council.

She’s tall with well-toned muscles that are a testament to gym dedication, strong arms showcased in a tank top. She’s cart- ing a bottle of water, one of four to six litres she drinks every day. “I got to the point where I was fed up,” the 33-year-old school teacher says, in beginning her story of how she trans- formed herself from an overweight size 24 to a fitness competition winner. “I had always had a problem with my weight.” She tipped the scales anywhere from 220 to 230 pounds over the years, and had “tried everything”, including herbal rem- edies and diet pills. She got approval for a gastric bypass operation but backed out, aware that surgery could include compli- cations. “I resolved I was going to be over- weight forever.” But then one day she fell, hurting her knee, and the resulting mobility issues brought about her turning point. “I real- ized then how far I had let myself go.” She started looking for a gym, and pre- sented herself at Optymal Health Studios in Whitby in April of 2013. The begin- ning of her journey to lasting change was launched with a two-month trial at the facility. In the first three to four months she shed 60 pounds, recognized her emotional attachment to food, learned to modify her eating habits and started working with a personal trainer. “I was totally excited and motivated,” she recalls of those early days. But as the pounds dropped away, so too did the wall of self-protection she had built around herself. “A lot of issues from the past I hadn’t dealt with came up,” she says, citing sexual abuse and two incidents of rape. The extra weight “was a way to avoid attention.” Ms. Ringler tackled those issues head- on too, seeking counselling, therapy and help from a life coach. She worked through post-traumatic stress disorder as she con- tinued with her gym workouts. “It was difficult for me to confront these things,” she admits. “The process was emotional. It’s important to let people know there’s a connection between mental health and weight.” She credits the support from the pro- fessionals she worked with, including her fitness trainer, in getting her through the rough spots. “I was at a point in my head, I’m signing my death warrant if I don’t do this,” she recalls. “There was a point where I did lose motivation and they picked me up.” In just nine months, she lost 100 pounds. A year after joining the Whitby gym, Ms. Ringler took a suggestion from a trainer that she enter a fitness competition, and chose the IDFA Transformation Challenge as being the best fit for herself. The con- test is judged on a before-and-after basis, with a written essay detailing the partici- pant’s personal story as part of the judging criteria. “For me to get up on stage, I had won just because I was there,” says Ms. Ringler of the sense of accomplishment she had. “It was the first time in my life I’d worn a bikini.” Competing in Mississauga July 19 at the Meadowvale Theatre in front of a few hun- dred people, Ms. Ringler says she didn’t expect to win but she took first place. “I even tripped a little; I’m not used to heels,” she laughs. She carries a video of her moment of triumph on her cellphone. “I haven’t healed my self-esteem com- pletely,” she adds matter-of-factly. But becoming healthy and fit “has given me a sense of self. It sounds very big, but I never felt I was worth anything. I have learned it’s OK to be selfish. My self-esteem is not perfect yet but I have more. I find it so bizarre when people tell me I inspire them. That makes me so happy.” Her future plans include another fitness competition next spring, becoming a per- sonal trainer herself and linking her own fitness story to the existing school curricu- lum to share with students. “I am so excit- ed to teach gym and health as a healthy person,” she says. Shopping for clothes is more fun as “I’d never been able to shop in a normal store before. To see the difference in how I look, it’s shocking. I definitely feel I can express myself more through my clothes than I have before.” Her body fat percentage is 18 now, and was down as low as 15 for competition. “I was so proud of that. It was the first time I’d done something for myself. Getting healthy was about me. “It’s so interesting; your brain takes a long time to catch up with how you look. I do enjoy the fact I am attractive but my confidence is not all the way there. I’m not putting myself out there that way. One night at a movie theatre I looked up and thought, ‘Who is that girl in the mirror’?” Stories of Inspiration will appear monthly in 2014.

One of the newest things we are seeing is accessories in the hair - hair jewellery, broaches and crystals really add pizzazz! ” “Soft waves have de nitely become very popular, whether hair is o to one side, partially up, all down or even a classic look with soft texture to give a modern touch to the bride,” explains Michael. “Of course everything starts with the dress and it’s important for the hairstylist to see the dress, to see what style the bride wants to achieve for the big day,” says Michael. “I advise all my bridal clients to bring pictures to see what they like or what they are thinking. It’s very helpful as well.” Since every wedding and every bride is di erent, Michael’s Hair Studio has a variety of bridal packages – one to suit your needs.

The wait was worth it. As a freshman, Dougall has secured the starting goalie position for the NCAA Divi- sion-1 school. In her first five starts for the UB Bulls she has proven to be a dominant force in net, not conceding a single goal and already breaking two school records. Before leaving for Buffalo in August, Dougall trained with Durham FC and has played with both Ajax Football Club and the Pickering Soccer Club. She also had the opportunity to train with the nation- al training program, travelling to Spain in 2012. In spring of 2014, as the team cap- tain for the Dunbarton Spartans, she led the school soccer team to capture the OFSAA silver medal at the provincial championship and was named soccer team MVP. Now in net for the UB Bulls, Dougall started the season with two shutouts and on Aug. 25 was named the Mid America’s Conference Defensive Player of the Week. With two additional shutouts the follow- ing week, Dougall broke the UB record for longest shutout streak by a freshman to start a career in program history. On Sept. 2 her stellar play between the pipes led to her being named UB Athlete of the Week. The fifth game of the sea- son saw a second program record being broken with the longest shutout streak to start a season. Head Coach Shawn Burke is impressed with Dougall’s confidence and maturity. “You just never know how 18-year-old freshmen are going to handle the speed of the game and the pressure of being a No. 1 goalkeeper at this level,” Burke told The Spectrum. “I think that’s probably what’s impressed us the most, is you would have thought she was a senior with her mental- ity and the way she comes in.” Dougall credits her teammates with making her and the other freshman feel comfortable and included on the team. She looks forward to breaking more records and hopes to help the team make it to the NCAA championship. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 2 4 , 2 0 1 4 24 P Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Mark Tenuta leads Pickering to five game winning streak Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Three seasons ago, Pickering Panthers GM/head coach Mike Galati was told that a rookie by the name of Mark Tenu- ta was going to be the team’s future captain. Turns out that prognostication was right. It came from an assistant coach at the time, after a meeting with Tenuta, a rookie with the Ontario Junior Hockey League club in 2012-13. “I’ll never forget,” said Galati in recalling the story. “(Assistant coach) Phil Barski, when we first met (Mark), he walked out of our office and he said ‘Mike, he’s going to be your captain one day.’ “He was right. He brings everything you want in a leader. He’s a kid you can count on in all zones.” Tenuta’s leadership is a part of the equa- tion that has the Panthers off to a 5-1-0-0 start to the season, sitting in first place in the North Division after a pair of weekend wins, beating Lindsay 6-5 on home ice Fri- day, then travelling to North York for the first away game of the season Sunday, reg- istering a 6-4 victory. That’s five wins in a row for the Panthers after opening the season with a loss to Hamilton. Wearing the ‘C’ has been a good fit for Tenuta, who has four points through six games on two goals and two assists. He’s had time to prepare for the responsibilities. “Mike told me at the end of last season in my exit meeting,” says Tenuta, a 20-year-old Richmond Hill resident who is in his last season of junior eligibility. “It’s good for me. It was a harder road than most guys for me to get here. “I think I can be a good leader for some of the young guys, who are already a step ahead of where I was. I can make sure they have their head in the right place. I had to work hard to get where I am now.” He wasn’t drafted by an OHL club in his minor midget year -- playing AA hockey that season, there aren’t many scouts in the stands. His second year of midget he played with the Markham Waxers, then joined the Toronto Jr. Canadiens the next season, used as a call-up to the junior club. In the two previous seasons with the Pan- thers, he has played 97 games with 16-22- 38 career point totals. With Tenuta head- ing into his final year, Galati had no second thoughts about naming him captain. The rest of the team put their support behind the decision. “Over the summer I contacted the players and there was overwhelming support for Mark,” says Galati. Tenuta, a part-time student at the Univer- sity of Toronto, recognizes what got him to this point, and doesn’t think wearing a let- ter on his sweater is going to change any- thing. “My biggest asset I think has always been my work ethic. I don’t think it’s changed anything.” Tenuta had an assist in the 6-5 win over Lindsay Friday, then scored a short-hand- ed goal in the Sunday afternoon 6-4 win in North York. Newcomer BJ Salerno, acquired in a trade with Stouffville last week, had an immediate impact, collecting three points in each game on three goals and three assists. Riley Devine also had a big week- end with three goals and two assists in the games. The Panthers will play a pair of games this weekend at the annual Governor’s Show- case in Oakville. Friday they face George- town at 1:30 p.m., then Mississauga Satur- day at 10 a.m. Panthers captain has earned his way BUFFALO, NEW YORK -- Pickering’s Laura Dougall has set a school record by not allowing a goal in her first five games as a netminder with the University of Buffalo women’s soccer team.
