DAVID GROSSMAN SpORTS REPORTER
There was a time when Bianca Emanuele just couldn't stay out of the penalty box.
Fortunately for her — and the rest of the hockey team at Michael Power/St. Joseph high school — that era's now history for one of Toronto's top teenage female players. Not too many seasons back, Emanuele's initiation to hockey, at the club level, had a tendency to be more on the chippy side.
Now, as captain and scoring star with the Trojans, undefeated in 10 league and tournament games, the 16-year-old has adjusted nicely to the high school game. No longer watching her teammates from the penalty box, Emanuele has piled up the points — 19 goals and 10 assists — for a team that is expected to repeat as champions of the Toronto District Colleges Athletic Association.
"There was a fair amount of immaturity back in Grade 9, frustration came easy and the game got out of hand for me," recalled the 5-foot-6 centre, who is receiving NCAA scholarship interest a year before her graduation.
"I'm supposed to be the leader on this team. I got the hints from the coaches, so I had to change my style of game to be more disciplined. I also realized that, if we're to be successful, I'd be better off helping instead of leaving my team shorthanded."
While scoring goals is her forte, she had five in a 15-0 whipping of St. Joseph's/Morrow Park last week, the Grade 11 student also says she takes a great deal of pride in being able to offer advice to her teammates. "I want to be part of a championship team again, then see what we can do at the provincial playoffs," said Emanuele, who, when not devoted to her studies and hockey, helps younger kids learn to skate and play. "I try to motivate people, encourage them to be positive and not like the way I started a few years ago."
Michael Power/St. Joseph's coach Tom Shanahan has seen a dramatic change in her attitude. "Without a doubt, she's the best that I've coached in 13 years," praised Shanahan. "She has the skills but it's also her intensity and tenacious style of play. When she wants, (Bianca) can simply take over and control a game."
While the Trojans missed the playoffs two years ago because of what Shanahan said was a constant parade of players to the penalty box, Emanuele and the rest of the team began to tune in to their mistakes. "They got burned, realized it and finally bought in that you don't win games from the penalty box," said Shanahan.
Emanuele, team MVP last year, plans on maintaining an 83 per cent academic average that she hopes will help get her to university, then law school.

Loretto Abbey students build top portfolio at Junior Achievement / TSX Stock Market Challenge (Posted Date: Wednesday, January 28, 2004) By Town Crier Staff
Loretto Abbey Catholic Secondary School and Travelex Canada’s teams claimed the top spots at the third annual Stock Market Challenge, hosted by Junior Achievement of Central Ontario and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The teams secured their win of the simulated trading challenge by building impressive portfolios valued at $886,511 and $7,642,153 respectively.
More than 100 secondary students from local schools, including 20 students from Mr. Velos class at Marc Garneau C.I. got a taste of the fast-paced, high stakes equities market in a replicated environment as they bought and sold a variety of fictitious companies’ shares aiming to build the highest value portfolio by the end of the trading period.
Other participating schools included: Jarvis Collegiate and Neil McNeil Catholic Secondary.
"We are committed to educating investors and the public about the capital markets because we believe that educated investors will actively and confidently participate in the capital markets," says Michael Ptasznik, Chief Financial Officer, TSX Group. "Today, these young traders proved they are on their way to becoming the investors of tomorrow."
This year’s winning student team were Daphne Chan, Iris Chau, Paula Chorabik and Emma Sako from Loretto Abbey C.S.S. The team finished with a portfolio valued at $886,511, representing a 77 per cent rate of growth.
"We couldn’t have done it without Alex and Kevin’s help," said Daphne Chan. CIBC World Markets traders Alex Rajic and Kevin Carter were on hand to give the students tips and advice. "The Stock Market Challenge gave us a hands-on opportunity to learn how the equities market operates and how to invest in and trade on the stock market," she added.
The fundraiser also pit 25 corporate teams against each other in an electrifying race where a 60-day trading period was condensed to 80 minutes, with a new day beginning every 60 seconds. One of Travelex Canada’s two teams came out on top to win the first place by growing the initial investment of $500,000 into a portfolio worth over $7.6 million.
"Who would’ve thought a day’s worth of trading could be packed into 60 seconds! In such a believable environment, we had to really immerse ourselves in the game and play hard and fast," said team captain Roy Farah, Travelex Canada. "The Stock Market Challenge put all our professional skills to the test and was definitely an exhilarating 80 minutes for a good cause."
"We were delighted by the high level of enthusiasm and support with which the corporate teams rose to this year’s Stock Market Challenge," said Gale Carey, president and CEO, Junior Achievement of Central Ontario. "Their overwhelming contribution will be most deeply felt by over 3,000 students who will experience a Junior Achievement program."
Coming in a close second was the other Travelex Canada team with a final net worth of $7,553,778. Last year’s winners Barber Kolenc came in third with a portfolio worth $6,921,843.
The teams raised more than $55,000 towards the delivery of 100 Junior Achievement Personal Economics: Dollars with Sense programs to over 3,000 students throughout Toronto, York Region, Peel and Simcoe.

CODE 70 - SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS
Now that our Canadian winter is well under way, all employees should be made aware of CODE 70 – Severe Weather Conditions, and when to use this absence code.
On days of severe weather conditions, employees are to make every effort to arrive at work, regardless of time. Often by noon, conditions are such that traveling is possible.
In the event that any employee is unable to report for work due to extreme weather conditions in the Metropolitan Toronto area, as determined by the OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, the absence will be recorded as "SEVERE WEATHER" - CODE 70 and the absence will be deducted from the employee's accumulated sick leave credits.
For employees without accumulated sick leave credits, the current sick leave credit balance will be adjusted provided the employee has in excess of the required 12 days current balance for sickness purposes. In the event that the employee has no accumulated sick leave credits and has less than 12 days current sick leave credit balance, the leave will be without pay.
Employees who are unable to report for work because of extreme weather conditions MUST advise both SEMS and their immediate super ordinate/work place location of the inability to report to work.
Hourly rated employees are entitled to be paid only for those hours actually worked. In the event of absence because of extreme weather conditions, they are to be reported as absent.

Please join
The Down Syndrome Association of Toronto
For an
Education Workshop and Networking Evening
Topic is
Planning for the Future
Presented by: Len Nicholson, Special Educator
As parents and educators we strive to prepare a child with Down syndrome to be independent, productive and participatory in their community. This requires a plan. It is necessary to determine and set appropriate, measurable goals that can lead to successful and meaningful involvement. The plan requires programming that allows the child to immediately and functionally use the skills he/she has learned and then enables the individual to use those skills to learn more. For the parent and educator, the program becomes a long-term assessment in determining the individual’s strengths and interests.
This workshop will focus on providing suggestions for programs and strategies (elementary and secondary) that give children with Down syndrome the best possible opportunity to experience success and demonstrate what they have learned. Samples of functional academic programs, including literacy and numeracy, as well as vocational/ work skills and independent life skills will be provided and discussed.
In addition to a handout, the workshop will also include practical demonstrations, as well as videos of children in a variety of programs and settings.
Thursday February 12th, 2004 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School 1 St. Andrews Blvd. Islington south of the 401 Free parking available
Refreshments and a networking opportunity will take place from 6:15 to 7:00pm.
We are pleased to welcome Len Nicholson who will discuss literacy strategies for children with Down syndrome. Len’s thirty years of experience as a teacher in the public school system and as a Special Educator with the Bloorview MacMillan Centre have made him a popular consultant, speaker and seminar leader throughout all of the school boards in South/Central Ontario. Please invite your child’s teacher, educational assistant, caregiver, friends or family.
DSAT is pleased to be able to provide you with this exciting workshop. Please R.S.V.P. at 416-966-0990 or [email protected] before Monday, February 9th, 2004.
