The “Ring Around the Bin” was recently launched and is being sold. MSB Industries in Pickering manufacturers the product. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland Pickering-made invention will make composting easier: inventor Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It may look simple enough, but it took a Whitby resident who’d had enough with her messy kitchen compost to invent a contraption that will keep the bag in place. “I was frustrated with compost and the mess falling down,” recalls Janet Sirko, inven- tor of Ring Around The Bin, a plastic ring that fits on top of the common Orbis kitchen compost bin in order to keep the bag in place and stop it from falling into the bin.

Pickering library recognized for discovery-based learning Library has more than books Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The Pickering Public Library is creat- ing ways to keep people of all ages engaged in learn- ing through a project that’s been shortlisted for an award by the Province of Ontario. The library is one of 13 across the province that’s been nominated for the 2014 Ontario Library Service Awards, which identify and promote creative public library service ideas. “The project name is Maker Tech and it is really a project that is geared at bringing a new type of learn- ing to libraries,” says the library’s chief executive offi- cer Cathy Grant. The term “maker” represents a technology-based extension of do-it-yourself culture that has a strong focus on invention and creation. According to a press release by the Province, the Maker Tech project represents the innovative appli- cation of discovery-based learning for public library programming as well as innovative methods of engaging staff and the public in “maker” technolo- gies and activities. The library features some unique technology that encour- ages hands-on learning, including a 3D printer with software that allows people to design their own prototypes, and a drone with a camera. This miniature helicopter that’s controlled through an iPad can record images in places that are difficult for the average person to get to, such as a roof. There is a green screen available, and a number of programs, such as an invention kit called Makey Makey. “Generally the real benefit that we’re seeing with this equip- ment is that either people are learning on their own or helping each other figure it out,” says Ms. Grant. Before any of the programs are launched, library staff has “play days” where members learn the ins and outs of the items. “We need to learn how to use it before we share with the community,” says Ms. Grant. She says the Pickering Public Library is the second most award-winning library in Ontario, and is tied for third in terms of highest use in the province. This is the second year in a row it has been short-listed for the award. The winner will be announced at the Ontario Library Asso- ciation Super Conference in the winter. PICKERING -- Dale Quaife, director of technology and innovation at Pickering Public Library, dem- onstrated a synthesizer kit at the library, which has been nominated for a 2014 Ontario Library Service Awards for its Maker Tech program.

I guess I took too much and it kind of knocked me out,” the girl testified Wednesday in Oshawa court. “It made me really dizzy. My eyes were rolling back in my head uncontrollably. I felt like I was para- lyzed.” The Crown alleges the girl was 14 when she was lured to Toronto and forced into prostitution for more than a week in the fall of 2013. Two teenaged girls, acquaintances of the complain- ant, have pleaded not guilty to charges including human trafficking, intimida- tion and procuring a person for prosti- tution. A publication ban prohibits report- ing on evidence that could identify the complainant or the accused. The complainant testified via closed circuit TV, describing how she met up in Oshawa with the two accused and sev- eral males and agreed to go with them to a “hotel party” in Toronto. She said she was surprised when the group spent some time wandering the streets of downtown Toronto, seeking out a room. “I thought we already had one,” she said. She said the group eventually wound up in a shabby hotel where there was drinking and consumption of marijua- na. “It was pretty crappy,” she said of the hotel. “The windows were boarded up in the room we were in.” As the evening wore on, the group was joined by three men, one of whom offered the girl a sip of “gangster juice”, court heard. The girl said she felt strong effects from a “capful” of the substance. The Crown alleges that in the days that followed the girl remained in the con- trol of the two accused and a man -- he’s being tried in a separate proceeding -- and worked as a prostitute in the Toron- to hotel. This trial has heard so far from two men who encountered the girl and one of the accused when they respond- ed to online ads for escorts. The trial continues before Ontario Court Justice Michael Block in Oshawa.‘‘I was offered a liquid. I guess I took too much and it kind of knocked me out.

Durham French school board trustee results posted Pickering trustee Landry re-elected DURHAM -- The election race for French public and Catho- lic school board trustee jobs has been decided. The results were released the day after the election on Oct. 27 as Oshawa clerks had to compile votes from more than two dozen municipalities. Voters in 30 municipalities, including those in Durham, elected Pickering resi- dent Sylvie Landry trustee for the French public board. She beat Claude Mbuyi 552 votes to 120. Meanwhile it was a much tighter race for the French Catholic school board trust- ee seat where residents in 26 communi- ties elected Roger Brideau, a Whitby resi- dent. Mr. Brideau beat Olga Lambert 617 votes to 527. Chanel Tarala-Chahine fin- ished third. The bulk of Mr. Brideau’s sup- port came from voters in Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa.

Mayor Ryan made the remarks the morn- ing after his comfortable election win, in which he registered exactly twice the num- ber of votes as his nearest rival, former councillor Maurice Brenner. The other big stories in Pickering after election night are the return of Rick John- son, the new Ward 3 city councillor, and the departure of longtime councillor Doug Dickerson. The mayor says he’s already spoken to a number of councillors and the sentiment in the conversations was ‘let’s put the past behind us and work as one’. He noted that being a councillor isn’t about getting head- lines, getting quoted in the newspaper or disagreeing just to make a big splash. We wholeheartedly agree. Time and again during the last term we bashed the former council, almost plead- ing with them to stop bickering and work as a team to address the very important business that comes with being represen- tatives in a city of more than 100,000 peo- ple. It slowed down the business of gov- erning and we heard from many residents that the situation was on the verge of, if not already, ridiculous. But a new council presents a fresh oppor- tunity for our representatives to do what they were elected for: to represent the resi- dents of Pickering as best as they are able and to always, always, keep them in mind during discussions and when making deci- sions. This didn’t always happen over the last four years on council and it needs to change. It should be noted that with Doug Dick- erson leaving the table, Mayor Ryan has lost a supporter in that Mr. Dickerson gen- erally voted with the mayor. We expect this will also serve to create a more open coun- cil where issues are debated and voted on their merit. Pickering has a number of very impor- tant issues on the table: the continual evo- lution of Seaton with its myriad issues to consider; the large development proposal for the corner of Bayly and Church streets; and, the revitalization of Pickering’s down- town. Let’s be clear, councillors don’t have to agree on everything that comes up, Not at all. This is a democracy. But the issue is always the issue, not the person arguing for or against it. We encourage councillors to work in a spirit of cooperation, as a team. Voter turnout in Durham disgraceful To the editor: As dismal as it was in 2010, with the dreaded garbage incinerator then an unprecedented issue, this time the voter turnout in Clarington was worse. Notwith- standing the availability of easily acces- sible advance polls and regardless of the fact that the weather on election day was beautiful, fully 70 per cent of eligible voters couldn’t bother with it. In Oshawa, where absurdly high prop- erty taxes, absolutely within the purview of municipal governments, are a constant concern, the turnout was even worse, with 76 per cent staying home instead. Ajax was beyond ridiculous because it allowed electronic voting this time, mean- ing that voters could stay home and vote from their computers, barely conscious. Even with that convenience, 66 per cent of qualified voters effectively said, “Who cares?” and did nothing. I suppose that voters there just don’t have the energy to move the mouse. It really is disgraceful but I suppose that when people live in their own little worlds, unconcerned about anything seemingly beyond that, it works that way. Democracy? Pffftt ... All of the ‘no-shows’ will be among the first to whine and gripe for the next four years at the first hint of something disagreeable, guaranteed. Larry Wood Pickering parking problem cleared up To the editor: Re: Alderwood Park, Bay Ridges. Again this year streets near Lake Ontario were experiencing extensive car parking, especially Wharf Street, the most southerly road on the east side of Liverpool Road. This past summer, however, Alderwood Park conservation area at the end of Wharf Street wasn’t affected by the more than 100 illegally parked cars as was the case two years ago. New trees, a gate, wooden posts and park sign now clearly show this is a green space for hikers, dog walkers and wildlife. I wish to thank Grant Smith, Rob Gagen and all the other City of Pickering staff who responded to my concerns about illegall parking and helped save this park from possible disaster. A special thank you goes Ward 2 Region- al Councillor Bill McLean whose prompt response to my e-mail and involvement from beginning to end of this major proj- ect made it a great success. This experience confirms his dedication to his constituents.

Starting at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, rela- tives can call 905-579-3313 for informa- tion. All 192 residents of Fairview were forced from their home by a fire that destroyed a wing of the facility. The resi- dents have been relocated to other long- term care homes, retirement homes or hospitals. Given the extensive smoke damage, it’s unlikely the residents will return to the lodge. A new Fairview has been under con- struction for more than a year on the site, and is slated to open early next year. The new building wasn’t affected by the blaze. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 0 , 2 0 1 4 8 AP Batteries dead? Recycle instead! AA, AAA, 9-volts, C and D size, you name it, we want your used batteries. Durham Region is powering up again to collect dead household batteries. The next curbside collection is scheduled for Nov. 3-7 on your regular blue box collection day. Residents living in Ajax, Pickering, Claring- ton, Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock received special orange stickers inside their new waste collection calendars that were deliv- ered recently through Canada Post. Simply remove an orange sticker and place it on your own zipper-style clear plastic bag. Fill the bag with batteries and place it out for col- lection on top of your blue box for paper on your regular collection day during the week of Nov. 3-7. Residents in Oshawa and Whitby received their waste management calendars back in June. They also contained special orange battery stickers. If you do not have a stick- er and would like one, please contact the Region’s waste management centre at 1-800- 667-5671 and one will be mailed to you. You can also download your own label at dur- ham.ca/battery. Clear bags without an orange sticker will also be accepted. The collection coincides with the “Fall Back” daylight time changes and promotion of changing the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detec- tors. Residents who miss the collection date, or who do not have collection services provid- ed by the Region of Durham, are encouraged to drop off batteries at any Durham waste management facility. Locations and hours of operation can be found at durham.ca/waste. You can also visit makethedrop.ca for dis- posal alternatives. There are more than 2,000 battery collection sites throughout Ontario, consisting of municipal depots, special col- lection events, a network of retail stores, and other easily accessible dropoff points for consumers that can be used any time of the year. For safety reasons, only undamaged bat- teries are acceptable for curbside collection. Residents with damaged or leaking batter- ies should place the batteries in a leak-proof container and deliver them to a Regional waste management facility for recycling. Did you know? During the first four special curbside col- lection periods, Durham diverted 64.45 metric tonnes (64,450 kilograms) of spent household batteries. Durham typically collects more batteries in each curbside collection week than it does at its four hazardous waste dropoff depots in one year. The success of the curbside battery collection program has generated a lot of attention for Durham Region. Durham Region has been awarded a Guinness World Records award for the most batter- ies collected in one day and has received several local and international awards. More importantly, more than 30 com- munities across Ontario have followed Durham’s lead and launched their own programs to conveniently recycle their household batteries.

There comes a time when “one day ”becomes today. She searched through flyers in an attempt to find a ring already on the market, but when she couldn’t, she chose to seek a way to invent it herself. “I never told anyone about it, not even my boyfriend,” she says. She got Canada and U.S. pat- ents and found an illustrator before finding someone to man- ufacture the product. “Everything had to be made in Canada,” she says. So in late 2013, she found a company in Pickering called MSB Industries Inc., which specializes in plastics injec- tion moulds. The company can take a drawing on a napkin and work with a customer all the way through, from the design to the production phase. “We’re a one-stop shop,” says Brian Valerio, manufacturing manager. “There are very few of us that do what we do.” The company worked with Ms. Sirko to come up with the perfect product, and when the ring helped the lid on the kitch- en compost bin snap shut, they knew it was right. “It’s called the audible click,” jokes Mr. Valerio. The product was launched in October and is being sold for $9.99 and can be found at the Pickering Flea Market and Maximum Nutrition Centres in Pickering and Whitby. Ms. Sirko notices children seem to really gravitate toward her product. Even a school board in York Region has chosen to pur- chase the item for the compost bins in its classrooms. “I want to get it into all of the school boards and all of the municipalities,” says Ms. Sirko. Sean Brick, MSB’s production manager, can vouch for the prod- uct. “I think it’s great. I have one at home,” he says. Ms. Sirko, a big believer in recy- cling and composting, hopes her handy product will help improve waste diversion, and that apart- ment and condo buildings will start composting. Of course, she’d like to get her product in the buildings too. “There is a passion I have for the product,” she says. “Nothing stops me from taking it to the next guy.” MSB is happy to have part- nered with Ms. Sirko, and she’s pleased to have her product made close to home. “It’s not so easy,” Mr. Valerio says of having a product made overseas. “You can’t just show up in China.” His father Marino Valerio says he had the same drive Ms. Sirko does when he started the compa- ny in 1987. “I had to do it,” he says. “It’s just slowly you grow and grow and this is where we are now.” For more information on the new invention, visit www. ringaroundthebin.com.

EFW–WMAC Meeting #13 Food for clothing exchange to be held in Durham Families from across the region can pick up warm clothing for winter DURHAM -- For the 26th year in a row, low- income families can pick out warm clothing for the winter at the annual Durham Region Schools Food for Clothing Exchange. The idea is that families who need it can, at no cost, pick up clothing items donated by the community. Items include coats, snowsuits, pants, hats, tuques, mitts, scarves, sweaters, boots and more. In exchange, if they’re able to, families can donate non-perishable food items which will go to local food banks. Last year more than 12,000 clothing items were donated for both children and adults. This year’s exchange will be held on Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. to noon at Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School, 316 Conant St. in Oshawa. Leading up to the exchange, local schools are collecting items and residents who want to contribute can do so by dropping clothing off at one of six dry cleaner locations in Whitby, Oshawa or Clarington by Nov. 4. For more information about the exchange or to volun- teer, call Jim Fergusson at 905-436-0275. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 0 , 2 0 1 4 12 AP Mardi 4 novembre, de 18 h 30 à 20 h 30 4101, rue Baldwin Sud Whitby (Ontario) L1R 2W6 ÉCOLE SECONDAIRE CATHOLIQUE Saint-Charles- Garnier MonEcoleSecondaire.ca YourFrenchHighSchool.ca Soiréeportes ouvertes Open House Inscrivez-vousmaintenant!maintenant!Register now!

Scan with Tania’s Place in Ajax marks 10 years as ‘second home’ for adults with special needs Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Dianne Birrell doesn’t know what her family would do without Tania’s Place. For the past 10 years, it’s been a home away from home for her daughter Sarah Birrell. Before that, Sarah’s days were filled with visits from special needs workers. Like many young adults with special needs, there was very little for her to do after finishing high school. “There weren’t a lot of options. People suggested seniors’ pro- grams,” Dianne says. “That’s not what we wanted for her.” When Tania’s Place opened its doors in 2004, they knew they had found the right place. On Oct. 25 they were among doz- ens of people who came out to cele- brate the 10-year anniversary of the local organization, which offers pro- grams for young adults with devel- opmental and physical disabilities. The anniversary party included live music, lots of dancing, plenty of food and some fond reminiscing. “When we first opened we had five clients,” says executive direc- tor Francie Trajkovski, who found- ed the organization and named it for her daughter Tania. “I can’t believe that it’s been 10 years. It has become something beyond what I ever imagined and I am so hum- bled.” Tania’s Place got its start when Ms. Trajkovski realized there was noth- ing for Tania to do after she turned 18 and finished high school. So, she took matters into her own hands and created Tania’s Place, which has since helped more than 200 local families. Today there are 55 clients and it is one of the largest adult day pro- grams in Durham. Tania’s Place offers a year-round day program for people with spe- cial needs who have finished high school or are no longer in the school system. The structured daily sched- ule includes life skills, fitness, drama and art programming at the 8,000-square-foot Ajax location, which features a kitchen, computer lab, games room, lounge area and gym. Ms. Trajkovski says the goal is to stimulate each person’s “mind, body and soul.” For example, cli- ents might take a field trip to a local grocery store to practise shopping and using money, do a yoga class or work on computer skills. The families offer nothing but glowing feedback. Parents at the anniversary event called Tania’s Place “a lifesaver” and a “second home.” Ms. Birrell says it gives her peace of mind to know her daughter Sarah is learning and having fun. Tania’s Place also offers March break camps, summer camps and PA day activities. Fees for the pro- grams vary depending on how many hours a client attends and an assessment based on their needs. Visit www.taniasplace.com for more information or call 905-686- 9532. DURHAM -- Tania’s Place founder and executive director Francie Trajkovski and her daughter Tania Trajkovski were among dozens of people who came out to celebrate the organization’s 10th anni- versary. Tania’s Place offers a day program for local young adults with special needs.

Experience DC offers reality peek into student life at Durham College Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The list of worries for high school students planning for college or uni- versity can be long. There’s the increased workload. The stress of living away from home for the first time. The social aspect -- will they make friends? Durham College is using a unique new campaign to show prospective students how real-life college-goers navigate the challeng- es. Experience DC, which launched this fall, features 14 students who are chronicling a year in their lives using social media, videos and blog posts. “We wanted to represent a range of types of students, from an international student, to a married mother trying to make it all work. Whether they live at home or off-campus with buddies,” says Carol Beam, executive director of communications and marketing at the college. The initiative is aimed at supporting recruitment efforts and Ms. Beam calls it “the most progressive marketing campaign in the college’s history.” More than 200 students were interviewed before the list was whittled down to the 14-member team. It includes Kerri-Ann Williams, a biomedi- cal engineering technology student balanc- ing a family with returning to college as a mature student; James Domingo, a Brook- lin resident who changed career paths mid- way through his studies; and Matisse Hamel- Nelis, a married second-year public relations student. The students decide what to post and the school doesn’t edit their content. “It’s not sugar-coated,” says Ms. Hamel- Nelis. Since the campaign kicked off this fall, her posts have ranged from the light-hearted -- photos of the tempting curly fries served on campus -- to the serious, as she discussed coping with bipolar disorder. “I’m trying to take away that stigma as much as I can,” Ms. Hamel-Nelis, 28, says of the decision to talk about her men- tal health. “I want people to know, it’s OK if you have this, there are services on campus that can help. I deal with it every day, I’m able to succeed and so can you.” Experience DC is a success so far. As of early October, the team of students had received 1,000 Facebook likes, more than 1,000 Twitter followers and the Experience DC website had pulled in 34,857 page views. Visit www.experience.durhamcollege.ca to check out the student posts.

Home Instead Senior Care Durham Region has partnered with Wilmot Creek, Lovell Drugs, Health-Rite Pharmacy, Traditions of Durham, Sky’s Clothing Boutique, Shoppers Home Health, Giant Tiger and all Curves Gyms in Durham and Clarington Region to provide presents to seniors who otherwise might not receive gifts this holiday season. Be a Santa to a Senior is a great way to give back to the older adults in the community during the hectic holiday season when many are forgotten, said Glen McHugh owner of the Home Instead Senior Care Durham Region. Here is how the program works: participating local non-profit organizations will identify the seniors in need in the community and provide those names to Home Instead Senior Care. Christmas trees will feature paper ornaments with the first name of the senior and their respective gift request. Holiday shoppers can pick up an ornament, buy the requested item and return it unwrapped or in a gift bag to the same store they picked it up at, with the ornament attached. Home Instead Senior Care, with the help of other volunteers will wrap and distribute the gifts to these seniors. This program which runs from November 1 to December 10 has brought a lot of joy to seniors over the holiday season. To find out more about this program to go www.beasantatoasenior.com.

Metroland Durham Region wins fire fighters award ‘What it’s like to be a firefighter’ wins Best Social Media Video Leeanna McLean lmclean@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division has been award- ed first-place honours for Best Social Media Video in the International Association of Fire Fighters 2014 Media Awards Contest for video coverage of Pickering Professional Firefighters Association’s Fire Ops 101 event. In September 2013, reporter Moya Dillon and videographer Leeanna McLean spent a day with the Pickering Fire Department and participated in demonstrations and training that allowed area politicians and journalists to experience a day in the life of a firefighter. The video coverage won first place and the story gained honourable mention in the category for Best News Story Published on a Web Based News Site. According to Harold Schaitberger, general president of IAFF, the 330 entries submitted in the annual Media Awards Contest, “attest to the unique and largely unpredictable haz- ards firefighters and paramedics experience every day.” The contest honours communications, reporting and photography that best portray the professional and dangerous work of fire- fighters and emergency medical personnel in the United States and Canada. “I am honoured to be recognized by the IAFF and grateful to the Pickering firefighters and PPFA for the opportunity to learn first-hand what our brave firefighters face on a day-to- day basis,” said freelance reporter Moya Dil- lon. “I climbed a 100-foot aerial, performed CPR and participated in an auto extrication scenario, all of which were action-packed and a lot fun, but what really appealed to me was how kind, dedicated and courageous our firefighters were that day. This was only a mere glimpse into the lives of our local heroes. It’s important to get this information out to the public, to showcase the training and continuous effort firefighters perform on a daily basis. I am pleased, honoured and humbled to accept this award but feel the firefighters deserve the recognition.” The IAFF, headquartered in Washing- ton, represents more than 300,000 full-time professional firefighters and paramedics in North America.

The reception and award presentation was held at Ajax’s McLean Community Centre on Oct. 24. McGowan’s painting, Wave, is a non-objective piece. And while the wave seems natural and spontaneous, McGowan said there was a lot of prepara- tion involved: she made 118, 5 x 7 sketch- es to create an “interesting shape. “For me it was more of a process of finding the swoop of the stroke,” she says. Pickering artist Robert Hinves won the Lou Schnippering Award, Scarborough’s Carol Matsuyama took the Ontario Power Generation Award, Oshawa’s Marta Burns received the Veridian Corporation Award, Karen Richardson of Lindsay, formerly of Port Perry, won the Mayor’s Award and Pontypool’s Annabelle Mur- ray received the Rotary Club of Pickering Award. Awards of excellence went to Hal Bilz, Loretta Kaltenhauser, Nancy Moore and Margaret Taylor. The Youth award winners are both stu- dents of Whitby artist Michael Jack, who also has a piece in the show. Thomas Lieu of Scarborough won the Mayor’s Award and Linda Wang of Oshawa received the Optimist Club of Ajax Award. Linda Wang said her Around the Bend, a landscape, followed multiple studies. The image “was just out of my head” but inspired by Jack’s works. Cathy Schnippering, PRAC president, said 96 artists submitted 178 pieces for the show and 64 were chosen. The PRAC awarded almost $5,000 in prizes. “It’s our 15th show and we’re thrilled as always to have the interest shown and the number of artists that entered,” she said. You can view the works until Nov. 22 at The McLean Community Centre, 95 Magill Dr., during regular centre hours. AJAX -- Oshawa artist Betty McGowan won the Enbridge Pipelines Inc.

It’s the third year for the Bands For Brothers in Arms concerts, but in the wake of Corporal Nathan Cirillo’s death in Ottawa on Oct. 22, and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent’s on Oct. 20, an already meaningful event now has much more significance. “Our troops, past and presently, have stood tall to protect us,” says Martin Bon- nie of Courtice, organizer of the event, from local band Stone Soup. “And recent incidents in Ottawa and St-Jean-sur-Richelieu show that our armed forces are at risk, even at home. We need to show our active and veteran troops that we’ve got their backs. There are several great organizations to sup- port, whether through a direct donation or through fundraising events like Bands For Brothers In Arms.” Bands and artists from virtually every Durham municipality are performing at Simcoe Blues and Jazz in Oshawa from Nov. 7 to 9. The shows run Nov. 7 from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m., Nov. 8 from noon to 1 a.m. and Nov. 9 from noon to midnight. Simcoe Blues and Jazz is at 926 Simcoe St. N. Tickets are $10 per day.

That was the case for the St. Mary Mon- archs senior boys’ soccer team this sea- son, who won the LOSSA AAAA champi- onship by doubling Pickering 4-2 in the final. When the season opened on Sept. 18, St. Mary lost 2-1 to Pine Ridge, but ran the table after that, posting four regular season wins and then three more in the playoffs. “The first game, I don’t think we had our lineup set properly,” said head coach Scott McDavid. “After we figured it out and got the guys in the right positions, they start- ed playing well and it just kept getting bet- ter. After that initial loss, St. Mary shut down the opposition with wins over Notre Dame (3-1), Pickering (4-0), Dunbarton (7-2) and J. Clarke (4-0). In the playoffs it was more of the same, coming up with a 6-1 win over Donald A. Wilson in the quarter-finals, 4-1 over Ajax in the semifinals, and then winning LOSSA gold over Pickering. “I think we had a solid team all year,” said McDavid of the keys to success. “Every position was solid. The guys really worked well together and we had tremen- dous chemistry.” Winning LOSSA is nothing new to McDavid, who has guided three boys’ teams and four girls’ teams to titles since landing at St. Mary in 2004. There are also three silver medals to show at the OFSAA provincial championships, with the girls earning a pair and the boys one. The last boys’ team at St. Mary to win LOSSA came in 2011, having bowed out in the LOSSA semifinals the past two years. Now the team sits in limbo, with the boys’ OFSAA championships not sched- uled until June in Richmond Hill. While it’s best to play while things are going well, McDavid doesn’t mind the long delay. “I kind of like it,” he said. “It gives us a chance to practise more over the winter and the chance to pick up junior players and build them into the team and build some chemistry. “When you get to OFSAA you have to have 20 to 22 solid players. It’s a lot of games in a short amount of time.” Because of graduation, a couple of play- ers on the roster will be leaving the school after January, making them ineligible for OFSAA. Over the winter, McDavid said the team will practise once a week, enter an indoor tournament at Donald A. Wilson, and consider others in Toronto to stay active and sharp. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 0 , 2 0 1 4 25 PSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 PICKERING -- The St. Mary Monarchs senior boys’ soccer team won the LOSSA AAAA championship by doubling Pickering 4-2 in the final. Submitted photo Durham Boxing Academy member vows to stay amateur for another year Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Kyle McLaughlin knows what it’s like to be a member of a winning team. He also knows what it’s like to be a winner in an individual sport. Now he knows what it’s like to be a champion. The amateur boxer from Pickering is tops in the country in the 168-pound category after winning a five-round decision at the WBC National Championships at the Oasis Centre in Mississauga. “I’ve always done a lot of sports. I used to play rep soccer,” he says of his early sporting interests. “It was just the competitiveness of (boxing). It’s a one-person sport. There’s a bigger feeling when you win in boxing than anything else.” The graduate of Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School recalls pulling on a pair of boxing gloves at the age of 15, taking his anger off the street and into the gym. “I used to get in a lot of street fights when I was younger,” says the 21 year old. “I was decent, so I went into boxing. It was almost natural.” His trainer at the Durham Boxing Acad- emy, Brock Arthur, remembers those initial days. “He first started coming to Durham Box- ing Academy when he was 15 years old. He was a quiet and polite kid who had a lot of natural talent and determination. I have cornered him through 30-plus amateur bouts and I’ve seen him grow and develop as a fighter,” says Arthur. He especially noticed a change in McLaughlin’s work ethic in the three months leading up to the national champi- onship fight. “Leading up to this fight we brought his training to another level. He gave it his all in every session and it was easy to see the motivation and desire he had to win this championship,” says Arthur. “The training was hard and he flourished. There is a say- ing -- train hard, win easy -- and he proved it to be true. “I’m very proud of him and what he has accomplished and know there is more suc- cess to come in his future.” Because he has met the minimum num- ber of amateur fights required, McLaugh- lin’s bouts are five rounds without headgear and T-shirts, helping the transition into the pro ranks. That’s something he’s working toward, but not ready to commit to just yet. “I’m definitely going to go pro. I’m proba- bly going to stay amateur for one more year and then go pro after that,” he predicts.

Jason Liebregts / Metroland Pickering’s Dakota Parsons makes pitch for athlete of week OSHAWA -- A couple of local athletes locked up the Student-Athlete of the Week honours at Durham College. Ajax’s Lindsay Panchan and Picker- ing’s Dakota Parsons got the nod for the period ending Oct. 27. At the OUA/OCAA baseball champi- onship over the weekend, Parsons was key to the Lords’ comeback in their second game of the championship. After losing 7-4 to Brock, Durham had to win its second game to stay alive. Trailing the Waterloo Warriors 8-3 in the top of the seventh inning, Durham put together a five-run rally to send the game to extra innings. Durham went on to win the game 10-8. Parsons, who entered the game in the fifth inning with the Lords trailing by five, pitched four shutout innings, holding the Warriors offence to just three hits and one walk. The pre-firefighting student is a graduate of Pickering High School. Panchan, a five-foot-eight guard on the women’s basketball team, played a major role in Durham opening its reg- ular season with a 74-45 victory over the Loyalist Lancers. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 0 , 2 0 1 4 26 AP Are you a Job Seeker? • Receive help with your job search • Access job postings from your community • Use free access computers, internet, photocopying and faxing • Participate in resume, cover letter and interview workshops • Find out more information regarding employment programs • Information Are you an Employer looking to hire someone?
