But Ms. Ecker says the ads claiming she wants to pave Seaton, are “a gross misrepre- sentation” of the position the MPP and her Conservative party is taking on Seaton and the Duf- fin-Rouge Agricultural Preserve. Bob Reesor, of the West Duffins Community Group Inc., admits the full-page colour ads in the News Advertiser, taking aim at the Minister of Finance are harsh. “Would they have gotten any reaction if they weren’t?” he said in an interview. “Rather than re- sponding to ads maybe they should try to answer the letters we send them.” The West Duffins Community Group is “a bunch of adhoc peo- ple interested in working out the right arrangement” for north Pickering, said Mr. Reesor. He didn’t deny some of them are de- velopers, who own land on the preserve and would like to see parts of it developed. Nor did he deny that developers had helped fund the advertising campaign against Ms. Ecker. “We will take money from any landowner or concerned citizen that is interested in Pickering deciding its own future,” he said. Mr. Reesor, who owns a 100- acre farm on the preserve, ac- knowledged some farmers with agricultural easements on their property have “flipped” their lands over to developers.

But for the Oshawa and District Humane Society, it's a major setback. The streaks of bright yellow spray paint left by vandals over the weekend - covering the windows and side panels of the organization's service van - will have a huge finan- cial impact for the already cash-strapped service, says its head. "We don't have the money to get it fixed," says the society's Inspector, Betty VanSeters. "It doesn't seem like much, but to the humane society it's very difficult." The vehicle, says Ms. VanSeters, was donated to the society last Christmas. It has taken almost two decades to attain such a vehicle, she adds. The van is used for deliver- ing supplies, taking injured animals to veterinarians, and inspecting animal abuse cases. The Humane Society is funded solely by donations from the public.

Catholic student travel ban lifted BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Catholic school students can fly again, but the days of carefree travel to for- eign countries are over. The Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board, with war underway in Iraq, banned out-of-country student trips in March. A staff report on Monday’s board agenda states that administrative council, or the board’s senior staff members, have decided to lift the ban. “I’m still concerned that the moratorium be lifted on that and I’m surprised with all this going on,” Trustee Mary Ann Mar tin said Monday. “I’m just wondering why we made that decision.” Education director Patricia Manson said research showed that other boards were going ahead with trips. “There will be extra scruti- ny by superintendents,” she said. Trustee Martin in an inter- view said she was referring to ongoing unrest in the Middle East and terrorist threats against the United States. She clarified she did not op- pose lifting the travel morato- rium. “I support the director and staff, what they have done,” she said. “I have confidence that they looked into it. I just wanted to know basically why they decided to do that.” Trustee Martin said stu- dent safety is “obviously para- mount.” Paul Pulla, the board’s con- tinuing and alternative edu- Trips back on the curriculum cation/enhancing student success superintendent, said staff believes trips provide important curriculum connections and other value for stu- dents and “a blanket moratorium is probably not a fair way of looking at it.” Information packages provided to students and parents will now in- clude a letter from the school princi- pal, advising them that if the safety of students and staff becomes an issue, approval for international travel may be taken away at any time. Mr. Pulla says that means an approved trip might have to be can- celled. He monitors both the Canadian department of foreign affairs Web site and the United States state de- partment site for current informa- tion on travel advisories, noting there is “considerable congruency” between the two. “This is one of those issues that we’ll have to keep a close eye on,” he says. “Hopefully things will get bet- ter and we won’t have to be as vigi- lant as we are.” On average, each of the boards’ seven high schools plans three or four trips per year, says Mr. Pulla.

Clayton from Access MALL WIDE JOB FAIR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH & SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH OVER 60 re t ail locations at Pickering Town Centre are hiring new employees • Full-time • Part-time • Seasonal In partnership with BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Despite Pickering’s growth spurt Fairport Beach Public School boasts a large lot and adjoin- ing green space to the north. When the school was built 50 years ago, Mel Parkinson, its first principal, re- calls how he used to enjoy looking south and west as well. “The view there from Fairport Beach was magnificent; you could see Frenchman’s Bay,” he remem- bers, noting there was only a farm to the south. “It was all forest; it was beautiful to look out.” Mr. Parkinson says students, per- haps exaggerating, advised each other to stay off the farm property- or risk a shotgun-toting landowner. Fairport Beach marks five decades tomorrow with an open house at the school from 12 -5 p.m. Classes have been assigned a five- year period from 1953 to the present, and students have researched their era to decorate rooms accordingly. On Saturday night, an evening social takes place at the West Shore Com- munity Centre. Over the years housing replaced the farm field view but many other things about Fairport Beach remain the same. Mr. Parkinson lives a few blocks from the school in the same house, a former one-bedroom cottage, he purchased half a century ago. He re- calls his family, including his grand- parents, helped him un-crate and set up the desks at the new, four- room school. That same year, his wife was the first “home and school president,” and to mark the first Christmas at the school, she cooked a full-course turkey dinner for the parents. There was no auditorium, so they lined up the desks in the hall and ate there. Sharon Haney’s house is even closer to the school, and she has lived in Pickering all her life. Her granddaughter is a current Fairport student. “I was the first Grade 1 student to go there in 1953,” she says, noting that as a kindergarten pupil she at- tended the former Dunbarton Public School on Kingston Road. When she and others began think- ing about the coming milestone year, Ms. Haney volunteered to help with the planning. Retired now, she says the school and its history mean a lot to her. While the school is bigger, and a lot more people now live in the neighbourhood, Ms. Haney says it doesn’t seem like a lot has changed. The hill behind the school is still a big hill. The original school struc- ture, added onto over the years, re- mains. But she’s mainly talking about the atmosphere of the place. “The school back when I went of course was a small community; it still seems to have that small-school, community feeling, with parents in- volved just like they used to be,” she says. “It just has that warmth, that caring.” Ms. Haney and her stepdaughter, Evelyn Davy, are on the anniversary committee that planned the event. She and her girlfriend, Donna Craig, also a committee member, went to Grade 3 together at Fairport Beach. “We’re like sisters; we’re really close,” says Ms. Haney. “It’s surpris- ing, a lot of the old students, we’ve kept in contact with them.” Mr. Parkinson, a Second World War veteran, says safety concerns prompted the board of education to build the school. “The school board felt they needed a school there because there were pupils having to cross the 401 high- way when there was no bridge there,” he says. “Safety was a big rea- son and also population. There were only five pupils who crossed (the highway) at one time and it wasn’t too bad.” Even as the school was being built, Mr. Parkinson says streets and houses were beginning to change the neighbourhood.

A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — When the Pickering Recreation Com- plex opened in 1983, Sharon Milton was a stu- dent working her summers as a day camp counsellor. Today, she’s supervisor of facilities and programs, heading up a staff of 95 at the complex and helping organize its 20th anniver- sary this Saturday. “I remember the first day it opened,” she said. “I was there as a guest but in the summer, (Chief Adminis- trative Officer) Tom Quinn had let us tour the building when it was being built.” “It was just incredible when you walked through those doors,” Ms. Milton added. “It was pretty awe inspiring because the front foyer was so big.” Even 20 years later, the Pickering Recreation Com- plex still gets the same re- action from new visitors, she said. Many municipali- ties have toured the build- ing for inspiration in plan- ning their own future facili- ties. “The complex has be- come a benchmark over the years because it is such a solid building,” said Ms. Milton. Built on the former site of the Pickering drive-in for $14 million, the complex first consisted of an indoor pool, squash and tennis courts, an ice pad and ban- quet facilities. Back then, the emphasis was more on racquet sports than fitness equipment. “We used to have all our f itness equipment inside the track. You could actu- ally count on one hand how much equipment we had,” explained Ms. Milton. Today, the complex is a certified fitness appraisal centre. A cardio annex and most recently, a mezza- nine, have been added to the building. Both contain the same state-of-the-art equipment found at private health clubs, said Ms. Milton. A second ice pad was added to the complex in 1993 to respond to the growing de- mand in ice time. Ten years earlier, the first ice pad at the complex was one of the first community rinks to have proper spectator seating, said Ms. Milton. Little has changed in the pool area, where the focus has always been on train- ing and competitive swim- ming. The complex is the proud home of such swim- mers as former Olympian Lisa Flood and sports a strong recreational pro- gram too, said Ms. Milton. Along with a wellness centre, day spa and private pottery studio, the com- plex also offers meeting room space and childcare programs. Hours of opera- tion have also increased from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Mon- day to Friday and 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekends to accom- modate more work sched- ules. As for Ms. Milton, she never envisioned she’d be celebrating this milestone. After university, she was hired as a youth program director, a post she thought would tide her over for the next year. After holding several posts with the City, includ- ing marketing and promo- tions for the museum, Ms. Milton returned to the complex to head up pro- grams. “It’s one of the most chal- lenging places to be and one of the best places to be,” she said. “There’s not a day that’s the same.” “You can build a building but if you don’t put quality and talented staff in it, it won’t go anywhere,” she added. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 26, 2003 PAGE 5 A/P On October 2nd, Elect WAYNEARTHURS as your M.P.P. for Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge Authorized by the Wayne Arthurs Campaign.

P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 26, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Send Ecker back to Queen’s Park Tories offer best chance for Durham's continued prosperity Durham residents have resoundingly made themselves clear in all-candidates debates during the past month. In reality, concerns of local people have been evident for years now. As we've watched development continue apace in the Greater Toronto Areas north and west of the mega-city, we've looked longingly to our representatives at Queen's Park and have said, it's our turn now. Indeed, it appears our pleas have, at long last, finally been answered. It won't be long now before we have new Hwy. 401 exits and entrances that will make it easier to access Canada's greatest highway. Soon the wheels will be in motion to extend Hwy. 407 further east through Durham Region. Recently, the Rouge Valley, Ajax and Pickering hospital has received commitments for $29 million in renovations and ex- pansion and the Durham Region Cancer Centre received a much-needed investment that will benefit all Durham resi- dents. All four local Durham MPPs came to the assistance of Durham College president Gary Polonsky when his dream of a university for the region was only a fantasy. Cabinet muscle, in the form of heavyweights Jim Flaherty and Janet Ecker, along with support from Jerry Ouellette and Mr. O'Toole made the University of Ontario Institute of Technology a reality. Durham MPPs helped convince the Province to pony up the money needed to prop up the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) bid when the federal govern- ment failed to do so. The bid may not succeed for Clarington in the end, but it won't be because of a lack of provincial initiative. Tory policies have created jobs in Durham and reduced the number of people on welfare in this region. Liberal candidate Wayne Arthurs didn’t do himself any favours by continuing to serve as Pickering’s mayor during the campaign. His decision to give back $100 a day to the munici- pality missed the real issue. Whose interests were really being served day-in, and day-out. Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge has been blessed with one of the most powerful cabinet ministers in the Tory government. Ms. Ecker, currently minister of finance, has long garnered respect for her sharp mind, courage under fire and determination to make a difference. Two premiers have seen fit to make her one of the most elite policy-makers in Ontario. Ms. Ecker has been minister of social services and minister of education in addi- tion to holding the difficult portfolio of finance. She has the po- tential to be a future premier, if she desires the job. She will continue to make a difference for the province and for the citi- zens of her riding. She deserves another term at Queen's Park. Ecker holds down job during election too TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: It's interesting to read about the criti- cism of Wayne Arthurs for not stepping down from the Pickering mayoralty while he runs as the provincial Liberal candidate. I'm sure the same com- plainants realize that Janet Ecker, con- tinues to receive her MPP plus cabinet salary while she runs for re-election. The incumbent always has the advan- tage during campaigning because that person is able to collect a government salary while the House is dissolved. Yet, Janet can put on hold any government business with the excuse of an ongoing campaign. And she still gets her salary. It's time the Tories start responding to the issues that are of major concern to the people of Ontario: Health care, edu- cation, hydro, safety in the environment. Cutbacks to water and food inspection and the privatisation of the inspectors for OPG. The sidestepping of these issues makes me think that the Tories are avoiding the topics that really matter. JJaannee SSttoonnee PPiicckkeerriinngg Get gangs out of our schools TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re:'Legal system let schools down’: In Susan Shetler's letter, she expresses dismay that a kid who brought a gun to school to protect himself from a gang of hoods and discharged it in what he thought was self-defence should get off with probation from a judge. What I'd like to know is what a gang of hoods is doing roaming the halls of one of our schools seemingly unchecked. Obviously, the judge felt the kid had some sort of justification for his actions or he would- n't have let him off with such a light penalty. I feel the time has come for trustees and others responsible for maintaining security in our schools to permanently eject hoods and gang mem- bers so that other kids need not live in terror.

Every day more people are making the decision to go over to the unfunny side of life. There is overwhelming evi- dence to suggest millions of human beings are leaving their senses of humour behind, in favour of seri- ousness both in thought and deed. We are bombarded with daily news reports of very unfunny acts being committed the world over. This brow-furrowing seriousness is even occurring at the local level in the form of road rage, bullying in Kindergarten and stabbings over prizes at the CNE. Enough is enough. Someone must act now to put a spigot in this free flow of grimness that is infiltrating the earth. Is there no room left on the planet for plain silly nonsense? This is a call to arms which con- tains funny bones, the funny bones of the world's few remaining hu- morous people. All those with a funny or satirical streak are invited to join the lighthearted campaign called Operation Goof Around. The unselfish contribution of your winning personality is extremely important at this moment in the world's history. As part of Opera- tion Goof Around, any incidents of road, air or shopping mall rage will be met with cream pies. Any hostage-taking situations will be counteracted by the passing around of whoopee cushions . Cor- rupt dictators will be taught how to execute nothing but bone-jarring pratfalls. Suicide bombers will be tickled until they change their minds. Confront the leaders of or- ganized crime with your best knock-knock jokes. True, there is a certain risk to participating in Operation Goof Around, but risks are what humor- ous people are born to take.

The highlight of the day was a cheque presentation on behalf of the Overzet family for $9,486.75 to the Rouge Valley Hospital foundation/Ajax site in memory of Karen Colin. The championship Par 36 can be played either as nine or eighteen holes, depending on your time allowance. Carruther’s Creek winds its gentle course alongside the scenic views of spacious, rolling fairways carved out of a mature forest and farmer’s fields. Elevation changes, wetland preserves connected by a wo oden boardwalk, bountiful wildlife and wild flowers accentuate the flowing terrain to create an atmosphere uniquely different form other courses. Add to that a pleasant lake breeze to cool you on those hot summer days, and you have the ultimate golf experience.

Diana Ryan Executive Asssistant Carruther’s Creek Golf Centre with little Ellie Colin. 905-426-4653 those aren’t his interests, or the in- terests of all farmers on the preserve. In fact, he said his family has been fighting to buy back land it sold to the Ontario Realty Corporation in Markham that has since been sold to developers. “How can you say we’re not com- mitted to agriculture when we’re making a $40,000 investment in tile draining on our farms,” he said, of himself and neighbour Chris Burk- holder. “Developers hate tile drain- ing. They have to deal with all that plastic in the ground.” No one in his group is asking for their agricultural easement to be lift- ed, said Mr. Reesor. They accept its terms as set out when the property was sold back by the Province in 1999. If the City wanted to lift the easements, the Province could have always intervened through the On- tario Municipal Board, he argued. But a minister’s zoning order mov- ing local planning control up to the provincial level was never part of the agreement, Mr. Reesor said. Nor did the Conservative government con- sult landowners before it was issued. “It’s like divorced parents and we’re caught in the middle,” he said. “Which level of government do we go to when we need a building permit?” Mr. Reesor also pointed out 38 property owners on the preserve pur- chased their land back from the Province without easements on their property. The minister’s zoning order significantly affects their land values. But Ms. Ecker says the fact is three levels of government agreed to pro- tect the preserve in 1999 by placing easements on the land. The minister’s zoning order only further clarifies that agreement and wouldn’t have been issued if Picker- ing hadn’t included the preserve in its growth management study. “There may be many questions and issues that have to be worked out but you have to start with the principles,” she responded. “This isn’t a fight between farmers and the government. Heavens no, the whole reason was to protect the agricultur- al lands for green space.” She defended her government’s order, pointing out it was issued soon after large numbers of trees were taken down on the preserve. “But to twist it into something that’s not true is political misrepre- sentation,” Ms. Ecker said. “Those ads don’t talk about the preserve. They only talk about Seaton. The Province has been clear in wanting to protect 53 per cent of those (Seaton) lands.” Asked about the group’s letters, Ms. Ecker said she wasn’t sure if she had received any letters specifically from Mr. Reesor. He lives in Markham and could have been writ- ing the MPP in his riding, David Tsubouchi. Her office confirmed it had received a letter from Rob Lyons, another member of the group Aug. 28 but couldn’t respond before the elec- tion was called and Ontario parlia- ment dissolved. But Ms. Ecker said her position on the subject has been consistently clear. As for developers contributing financially to the ad campaign, the MPP didn’t seem sur- prised. “There has been thousands and thousands of dollars spent on those ads,” she said. “I don’t know very many farmers who could afford that.” Land dispute ✦ Land from page 1 BLACK DOG CHARITY EVENT Jenna, Ken and Connor Rueter hold a cheque payable to The "RED DOOR"shelter from the proceeds of the Black Dog Pub’s annual Yard Sale, BBQ and Car Wash.

There was a promise – to be stewards of the land – now there are speculators – that stand to make millions at pubic expense Tr y out theme days to help reduce garbage During October 20-26 ‘Too Good to Waste’ will be the message once again for the upcoming Waste Reduction Week (WRW) in Canada. Since 1985 the Recy- cling Council of Ontario (RCO) has been sponsor- ing this event. Originally called Recycling Week, then changed to WRW to incorporate reduce and reuse, it is now organized by a coalition of non-gov- ernment, not-for-profit environment groups (in- cluding the RCO) in the 13 participating provin- cial and territorial juris- dictions across Canada. To encourage activities, WRW offers theme days. • Monday - home. This would involve the use of the Blue Box, compost- ing, and becoming energy and water efficient. -• Tuesday - travel. Lug- a-mug. Instruct hotel per- sonnel to refrain from changing linens for short stays. • Wednesday - work. Create a company ‘green team’ or ‘green sugges- tion box.’ Investigate how your fellow staff can re- trieve coffee grounds and paper towels etc. for com- posting. Ensure that your suppliers comply with 3Rs practices. E-mail 3Rs tips to colleagues. Obtain a Blue Box for your foyer. Arrange for a waste and energy audit. • Thursday - schools. For the past 20 years ad- vocates of the environ- ment have been saying that early education is both a good avenue to pursue and one of the keys to future sustainabil- ity. During the late 1980’s when Jim Bradley was minister of the environ- ment, a great start was made with his STAR (Student Action for Recy- cling) program. However, in recent years the Tory government demoralized teachers and students alike resulting in a lot of lost enthusiasm. • Friday - play. Choose fun activities during this day that neither pollute nor require electrical power. If you golf, ask the groundskeeper if com- post, rather than pesti- cides, is being applied on the course. • Saturday - shopping. With the environment in mind, take your own reusable bags shopping. Purchase products that will last, and whose pack- aging can be recycled. Also look for post-con- sumer recycled content. • Sunday - community day. Encourage communi- ty centres to display Blue Boxes for public use. Do a litter pick-up around your block and recycle the pop tins etc. Lobby politicians to in- troduce the 3 compart- ment recycling bins in strip malls and parks. Ask your local florist if you can take home a box of floral cuttings for your backyard composter. For example, Starbucks will give customers used coffee grounds for their gardens. During the month of October most retailers display Halloween deco- rations. Even bank tellers wear witches hats. By reading about WRW, I am hopeful that this will pro- vide ample opportunity for you to become a 3Rs promoter too. We in Durham’s indus- trial, commercial and in- stitutional sectors as well as groups and individuals should be doing our part to carry on the tradition to safeguard the environ- ment by making every week WRW. During WRW in my Oc- tober column I will list the events in Pickering and Ajax. If you are participating, register your activity with the RCO at www.rco.on.ca or myself to promote your involve- ment.

Bus service gets boost PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Canada’s newest university has been a boon for local tran- sit. Ajax Pickering Transit Authority (APTA) esti- mates it will bring in an additional $52,000 in rev- enue this September to December through a new charter service from Ajax and Pickering to Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Another $140,000 in rev- enue is expected in 2004 from the new service. “It’s a profitable thing for APTA to be running,” said general manager Ted Galinis at a Pickering fi- nance and operations committee meeting Mon- day. APTA has dedicated three buses to the new ser- vice, which makes six trips in the morning and nine in the afternoon, he said. Routes were established with the help of student postal codes provided by the schools, he said. Some adjustments are still being made. “We expected at first that demand wouldn’t be that high, but demand has been much higher than we thought,” Mr. Galinis said.

Woman shows strength in fighting cancer BByy JJaannee MMccDDoonnaalldd Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — When Tammy Young of Ajax ‘Runs for the Cure’ Oct. 5, she brings six stunning years of triumph with her. “I found the lump in No- vember 1997 at the age of 33,” says the Ajax woman, a wife and mother of three. “I am 39 now, and will turn ‘The Big 40’ on Dec. 31, New Year’s Eve. I hope to have a wonderful family gathering because I didn’t dream I’d see 40 and here it is just around the corner.” But, Mrs. Young was so ill last year, she couldn’t participate in the annual ‘Run for the Cure’ to raise funds and awareness to help fight the disease that has hurt her so much, in so many ways. “My children were ab- solutely devastated,” she recalls. “Our family had proudly won the Communi- ty Team Excellence Award for the past two consecu- tive years in Durham Re- gion, for raising the highest donations. They were posi- tive we’d win our third in a row.” It was more than just winning an award for Christopher, 20, Corey, 13 and Zachary, 12. “It was a missed opportunity for them to do something helpful and honourable for me, their mother,” admits Mrs. Young. “Unfortunate- ly, for so many other Cana- dians, too.” According to the Canadi- an Breast Cancer Founda- tion, 21,100 women devel- oped breast cancer in 2003, and 5,300 will die from it. One in nine Canadian women will develop breast cancer at some point dur- ing their lives. One in 27 will die from it. Mrs. Young’s journey has not been an easy one. Fol- lowing a modified radical mastectomy, she remem- bers being sent home the day after surgery, “minus a part of me, with a diagnosis of breast cancer.” Healing was fraught with challenges. “I was grieving over my disfigurement, the devastation of losing my hair, overcoming the side effects of chemotherapy and its toxicity, and finally summoning the strength and courage to re-intro- duce myself emotionally, spiritually and physically to my husband, Steve, and my three loving sons. This was a very intimate time for me to rekindle and reaffirm my self-esteem, my self-worth and my new identity.” Finally, after two years of such adversity, Mrs. Young underwent reconstructive surgery and eventually re- turned to the workforce after years at home raising her children. Then it happened. The cancer was back. “The devastation that overtook me, the fear of dying, of pain, the knowl- edge of treatments ahead of me, and the mere thought of leaving my loved ones gripped me, crippled me and forced me into a state of mourning and grieving like none other I’d ever known,” she says. “Suffering and loss sur- rounded me,” she adds. “The heavy burden and re- sponsibility of having to sit my three children down, to tell them the cancer had re- turned in my bones, and the fact that they would lose their mother early in their young lives, is un- doubtedly the most painful moment of my life. They are my babies, I wanted to protect them.” Her hope, faith and strong family ties, she be- lieves, have helped her sur- vive. “I can hardly believe I’ve been living with breast can- cer for over five years now,” adds Mrs. Young. “I’m es- pecially blessed that I am still winning the fight and proving statistics and my oncologist’s prognosis wrong. I live each and every day building on precious memories, with my won- derfully supportive family and friends.” The last time Mrs. Young was able to ‘run’ for the cure - she actually walked, as many participants do - it was 2001; just a year after she found out cancer had hit her for a second time. “As I was coming along the final stretch, towards the finish line, I looked up into the stands in the direc- tion of where my family and friends were gathered. My heart skipped a beat while love and joy filled every fibre of my being. There was my mom, smiling from ear to ear, waving away at me. Despite the distance be- tween us, I could see the love, the pride and the ad- miration written all over her face at that very mo- ment. Now, it’s a beautiful memory I call upon many times.” A/P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 26, 2003 www.durhamregion.com It’s mouth-watering goodness for a good cause.

HONDA’s SUMMER SALES EVENT Final D a y s BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — A 20-year-old man who was shot by police during a violent street clash last month in south Os- hawa has been denied bail. Bail denied to stepbrothers, charged after police shooting Off-duty officer charged DDUURRHHAAMM — An off-duty Durham Regional Police constable has been charged with assault for allegedly punching an Oshawa bar patron in the head. Police began investigating after a 26-year-old Oshawa man reported he was struck in the side of the head during a dispute in the park- ing lot of a Simcoe Street South tav- ern early July 22. Constable Christopher Collins, 36, was subsequently arrested Mon- day and charged with assault. Const. Collins is a 13-year veteran officer assigned to 17 Division. He was released to appear in Os- hawa court Oct. 24. Ishacc Douglas, of Cedar Street, was ordered detained by Justice of the Peace Carl Young after his bail hearing Tuesday in Ontario Court of Justice. Meanwhile, his stepbrother Ishmael Pessoa-Whitaker, 19, also charged in the Aug. 25 inci- dent, consented to his deten- tion during the same bail hear- ing. Both are scheduled to make their next court appearance Tuesday. The pair is charged after the confrontation on Glen Street with Durham Regional Police canine unit Constable Dave Mounsteven and his dog Chase. Police and the Special Inves- tigations Unit, the civilian agency which probes all police shootings, said the incident began when an officer allegedly spotted one of the brothers with a sawed-off rifle, and stopped to investigate. A struggle broke out involv- ing the veteran constable, his canine and the stepbrothers, and Mr. Douglas was shot once in the abdomen by the officer. A .22-calibre sawed-off rifle was recovered from the scene, police said.The evidence heard at the bail hearing is cov- ered by a publication ban. Mr. Douglas, who has since recovered, is charged with as- saulting a police officer, assist- ing an escape from police cus- tody, carrying a concealed weapon, animal cruelty and two counts of breach of probation. Mr. Pessoa-Whitaker is charged with 13 counts includ- ing pointing a firearm, assault police, assault with a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a prohib- ited firearm, use firearm during f light from police, escaping cus- tody, attempting to take a weapon from an officer, and two counts of breach of probation. Interest for provincial vote not what it should be, say many JJeessssiiccaa VVeerrggee Special to This Week DDUURRHHAAMM — Melissa McK- night knows where she’ll be Oct. 2. Whether or not her classmates join her at the polling stations for the up- coming provincial election isn’t so clear. Ms. McK- night isn’t counting on much company. “In their view, they don’t have the time,” she said of many fellow young adults. Jackie Borosa shares Ms. McKnight’s disap- pointment. “That’s one of our rights as a Canadian citizen; to help shape our govern- ment,” she says. Ms. Borosa, vice-presi- dent of university student affairs for the student as- sociation at Durham Col- lege and the University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology (UOIT), ran un- challenged in the 2003-04 student election. She would have welcomed competition, however, if it had generated more inter- est in student politics. Out of thousands of full- time post-secondary stu- dents, only 948 voted in the last student associa- tion election. While the number is low, it is a bet- ter turnout than previous years, says Ken Swan, as- sociation president. Mr. Swan urges youth to vote, whether it is on the provincial scale or right here at school. He wants young people to realize politics “affects their day- to-day life.” Mr. Swan also discourages the attitude that one vote won’t make a difference. “Every vote counts,” he says. Sheila Bell agrees. “One vote does make a differ- ence,” says the college po- litical science teacher. “We all have a responsibility to exercise our right to vote. If we don’t, we are hurting ourselves.” Ms. Bell believes the ed- ucation system is partly responsible for a lack of youth voting. She says not enough time is spent pro- moting politics in elemen- tary and secondary schools. She wants schools to generate inter- est from an earlier age. Recalling his own expe- riences with political cam- paigning for student of- f ice, Mr. Swan sees a need for more one-on-one inter- action between young peo- ple and political candi- dates, which he believes rests on the shoulders of the candidates them- selves. Mr. McKnight urges the government to take more initiatives to encourage youth to vote. She suggests the govern- ment encourage more in- volvement in the class- room informing students about the importance of voting and how accessible it is to them. “We’re in a democratic society,” she says. “We have a privilege to vote.” Ms. Bell sends out the same message. “We live in a free and democratic so- ciety,” she says. “We all get our right to vote.” Jackie Brown doesn’t plan to waste the opportu- nity. “I have the right to vote,” says the first-year UOIT criminology and justice student. “I don’t feel like wasting it.” A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 26, 2003 www.durhamregion.com FFALL REGISTRAALL REGISTRATIONTION YMCA Playing to Learn Curriculum is the best approach to ensure a child’s continued enthusiasm and capacity for life-long learning. • Home cooked meals • Fully qualified staff • Small group experiences • Happy and safe environment • Regular parent/teacher conferences Ajax & Pickering Child & Family Development Ctr.

Because of its qualities it is often referred to as the “silent killer”. Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness and even loss of consciousness. The incomplete burning of fuels, such as natural gas, propane, heating oil, kerosene, coal, charcoal or wood produces CO. Even a small amount of CO is considered dangerous. Properly installed carbon monoxide detectors are a good second line of defence but they do not eliminate the need for regular inspection, maintenance and safe use of your fuel-burning appliances. With the cold season upon us, heating oil and propane burning appliances, such fireplaces and furnaces should be checked and maintained by a qualified contrator. Contractors who have become members of the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Contractors of Canada (HRAC) hold the appropriate trade and fuel safety licences to install and maintain these appliances properly. HRAC members also carry appropriate insurance and agree to adhere to a members’ Code of Ethics. To locate an HRAC member in your area, log on to www.hrac.ca or call toll-free at 1-877- 411-HRAC (4722).

Gordon says, “basically, the amount of years I’ve been in this busi- ness has forced me to develop hundreds of different tech- niques to successfully solve every situation I’ve encoun- tered”. He also says that “having an extensive back- ground in specialty products for concrete, I know which products to use and which ones really work, that’s why I can offer a 10 year full guar- antee on all the work I do”. Gordon prides his company on fast, neat and efficient ser- vice. He also prides himself on his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the least most reasonable cost to the cus- tomer. Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles but that is because it is absolutely necessary. What I won’t do is quote on an expensive excavation type repair when I know a simple little interior injection will solve the problem. Give me a solid concrete foundation and 90% of the time I can inject the problem with polyurethane by standing on the inside and pumping right through the wall. Block foundations should be repaired from the outside but I try to isolate the problem within 10-15 ft. to minimize the excavation nec- essary.” Gordon says “home owners should invest in their foundations in much the same way they invest in their roofs. Water corrodes and very quickly. The same way a leak in your roof starts corroding the wooden rafters, a leak through your foundation starts to undermine the very integrity of your home. People tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. Catch it early enough and possibly save yourself a fortune.” Gordon goes on to say that “no job is too big or too small and I can promise you a fair and objective evaluation of the problem.” For a free professional evaluation call Gordon at 905-686-6880.

This woman has heart - 40 of them DDUURRHHAAMM — Lorraine Young wears her heart on her sleeve - and on other areas of the special T-shirt she wears each year for the ‘Run for the Cure.’ When Mrs. Young lost a good friend to breast cancer two years ago, she took the loss hard. “Three weeks before the CIBC ‘Run for the Cure’ that year, I began my cru- sade,” she recalls. “I needed desperately to make a difference... “ And so she has. Mrs. Young raised more than $1,700 herself and began sewing cloth hearts on a handmade T- shirt to represent all the women she knew who battled breast cancer. “We cannot lose any more of our mothers, daughters, grandmothers, granddaughters, sisters, aunts, nieces and friends,” she adds. “I raised an emo- tional $5,005 last year, surpassing my goal of doubling the previous year’s pledges.” The number of hearts on her T-shirt number 40 for this year’s run. “There is no stopping me,” she says. “I would and will walk around the world for a cure.” The fourth annual Durham Region Run for the Cure takes place in Memorial Park, Oshawa at 10 a.m., Oct. 5.

Often during the average six months it takes before a diagnosis can be made and treatment begun, families are torn apart and lives ruined. If these Durham Region kids had cancer or other fatal diseases, there would be an outcry at the risks im- posed by delayed treatment, accord- ing to the Parents for Children’s Men- tal Health organization. But because the children are mentally ill, there has been silence. Until now. Susan Hess came to Oshawa Wednesday with a message she made loud and clear. “My daughter, Leah, has a mental illness,” said the petite president of Parents for Children’s Mental Health. “Leah was like a volcano erupting with molten rage that spread out in many directions.” There was little support let alone understanding and treatment for the Windsor, Ont., family, despite the se- riousness of the child’s mental illness. Stigma, judgemental attitudes and shaming were the order of the day as ‘voices in her head’ told Leah to kill herself and her mother. “Constantly, as her mom, I was asked to remove Leah from the school, because the school personnel no longer wanted or had the exper- tise to deal with her, or her behav- iours, which were symptoms of her ill- ness,” continued Ms. Hess. “As we walked down the school steps, Leah would look up at me and ask, ‘Am I that bad a person, mom?’ I heard her loss of hope, loss of self- wor th, her loss of dignity. She was only seven-years-old. “It was a long walk home although I only lived two short blocks from the school,” said Ms. Hess. “Leah kicked me, bit me, pulled my hair, and punched me, screamed obscenities and threats at me. My neighbours watched with judgmental eyes through their curtained windows. I felt the frustration, the anger, the iso- lation, and the pain as acutely as my daughter did. “When she held a butcher knife’s sharp edge to my throat, I saw in her eyes the fear of her life, desperately out of her control,” she said. Unfortunately, the Hess family’s experience is not unique. Richard Meen is a psychiatrist and clinical director for Kinark Child and Family Services, one of the Durham agencies that sponsored the Sept. 17 event, along with Chimo Youth and Family Services Inc., and Frontenac Youth Services. “Behaviour is the language of chil- dren and when properly assessed, often translates into such issues as depression, autism, schizophrenia, Asperger’s Syndrome, bi-polar disor- der, anxiety disorders, obsessive- compulsive disorders and conduct disorder,” he told the group, identify- ing some of the forms mental illness can take in children. According to the agencies and par- ents’ organization, at any given time in Ontario, one in five children suffers from a mental health problem. One in 10 children seriously consider sui- cide. “Childhood is not always innocent and pleasant,” said Dr. Meen. “Sui- cide is the third highest cause of death amongst children and youth. Young children do commit murder, bullying peers is often a way of life, es- pecially for girls. Gang members are devastated children.” But childhood mental illnesses are complex, he added, “requiring so- phistication and expertise to inter- pret them appropriately. Such inter- ventions are expensive but worth it.” The treatment Ms. Hess’s daugh- ter - a child she says nobody wanted - eventually received was certainly of value to her family. “It saved my daughter’s life,” she said. “Today she is a delightful, sociable, confident young woman with a great sense of humour. She loves music, is a high school graduate and the recipient of a (Ontario) Lieutenant-Governor’s student volunteer award.” In Durham, aside from the 100 chil- dren on waiting lists, there are also teenagers who are sick. Jim Dubray, director of the region’s Children’s Aid Society adds that 80 per cent of the children in care are mentally ill. He points out the average cost for children’s aid to care for a child is $100,000 per year. Children’s Mental Health Ontario reports community-based children’s mental health centres throughout the province have seen a 50 per cent increase in waiting lists in the last few years, from 8,000 to 12,000 children and families. But despite the in- crease, the organization says budgets for core services have decreased by more than 7 per cent since 1990. Parents for Children’s Mental Health provides advocacy, education, and peer support for parents with children who have mental health problems.

I make use of the whole house with artwork on display throughout, although the focus is my studio," says Beach, a watercolour teacher with the City of Pickering who has immersed herself in a va- riety of other media as well. "As a watercolour artist, I have been fairly traditional but also experimental and I've done a lot of different things. The tour is a chance for me to have everything on display in one location. Normally when I do a show I have to be very se- lective and choose one theme. This is a chance for people to see everything," adds Beach who is just finishing a four- year art degree through the Ontario College of Art. The Station Gallery tour al- lows the public to drop in at any one or a number of loca- tions throughout Durham this Saturday and Sunday be- tween 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. "The whole idea is for the public to get a chance to see artists working in their stu- dio," says Beach. As well, it is an opportunity for anyone looking to purchase art to see a variety of original works and maybe even find a new favourite artist they may not have discovered through other avenues. For Beach it is also a chance to turn specta- tors into participants. She hopes a few of the 100 or so people expected to go through her studio will be in- spired to want to pick up a brush themselves at one of her classes. That, she recalls, is how she started herself, years ago. "Even as a teenager I was al- ways drawing," she says. But she chose a traditional career path, first as an X-ray techni- cian, later as a real estate agent. But a weekend water- colour workshop in the late 1970s really hooked her on the idea of becoming an artist. In 19 82 she had her first show and "gradually, slowly and steadily it just consumed more and more of my life," she says. Today it is how she makes her living. In total there are 19 loca- tions across Durham includ- ing Beach's studio at 1213 Bridge Gate Cres. in Picker- ing north of Finch Avenue, west of Liverpool Road off Maple Ridge Drive. In Greenwood, artist Dean- na Jones will be demonstrat- ing and exhibiting. In Ajax, pottery artist Sharon Wilson will welcome guests to her studio at 15 Bolland Cres., just west of Harwood Avenue, south of Westney Rd., off Clover Ridge Drive West. Another studio at 45 Wick- ens Cres., Ajax, features four artisans. The public can view demonstrations and exhibits of glass and metal work by Kirsty Naray; wire art and jewelry by Karen Lechner; goldsmithing by Sandra Cor- reia Martin; and enamel art by Pat Robinson. That studio is north of Hwy. 2, west of Westney Road, off Rotherglen Road. No pass or fee is required for admission at any tour lo- cation. For more information, contact the Gallery at 905- 668-4185.

The guild has been in existence for 25 years and for those who have chosen to spend their hours weaving and spinning, it is al- most like a calling. "It's not for everyone," advises Johnstone, who says the crafts take a certain amount of patience and perseverance. But, she says, the reward is definitely in the end result. "It's very satisfying to produce something that is unique," she says. Johnstone teaches weaving classes for the guild at the Green- wood Recreation Centre, which the group calls home for its monthly meetings and work- shops. But, she says, she always recommends newcomers wait to buy a loom until they try it out first. The basic four-lesson course gets new weavers on their way and there is always lots of oppor- tunity for mentoring through the guild, whether the interest is weaving or spinning, she says. "We weave for ourselves but we do a lot in groups. Many hands make lighter work. Experienced weavers help the less experi- enced." The group has looms and spin- dles in their craft room at the recreation centre. For weavers there are looms for smaller pro- jects like towels, right up to two- person looms capable of creating full-size blankets and tablecloths. The group meets once a month on the second Wednesday at 1 p.m. for the formal club meeting. A guest speaker is usually invited and there are demonstrations and field trips. The second meet- ing of the month, a 'spider's' meeting for the spinners takes place the fourth Wednesday of the month. There, spinners can sit and spin and share informa- tion. Then, each Monday, both spinners and weavers are invited to come to the open workshop from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. They can work, browse the resource mate- rials in the library and network with other crafters. The guild membership sits at about 20 members, both men and women, says Johnstone, and new members are always welcome. The cost of membership is $20 annually and includes use of looms and spindles at the recre- ation centre and use of resource materials. Anyone interested in more in- formation on the group can call Johnstone at 905-683-8059 or Pat Pegg at 905-649-5550.

The Monarchs' defence is two games into the Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) season and has yet to surrender a sin- gle point thus far, much to the cha- grin of the Ajax High School Rams, the latest team to fall victim to St. Mary's stifling defence. The Monarchs (2-0 in LOSSA) bat- tered the Rams 45-0 in league action at Ajax High Thursday afternoon. The game was essentially over by half time, with St. Mary in command 29-0 at that point. St. Mary's second- stringers entered the game in the sec- ond half, but the team didn't miss a beat as it was still put up 16 more points. St. Mary started the season with an emphatic 34-0 victory over rival Dun- barton High School Spartans last week. Monarchs' head coach Gordon Judges continues to be impressed with the fine play of his defence. "I'm very pleased with our defence," he says. "Definitely, they've really stepped it up this year. Any time you can be confident that your defence is going to get you the ball back, that's great for the team overall." The St. Mary defence definitely had its game-face on against the Rams, limiting the hosts to a handful of first downs and limited yardage. Following the game, Ajax High coach Derek Rushton tipped his hat to the Monarchs for their strong per- formance, but also saw a lot of posi- tives in his second-year club's effort against the powerhouse squad from Pickering. "They're just a good team and well coached," says Rushton. "We saw a lot of positives. We gained more yards in this game than we did all last year. We need some depth, some size and just some experience." Although Ajax High didn't serious- ly challenge his Monarchs, Judges says he immediately noticed the im- provement in the Rams over last year's team. "It was a credit to Ajax and their coaches. They're vastly improved over last year. We were lucky to hit a few big plays early in the game and get things going our way." The Monarchs' quick-strike offence scored on its first three offensive se- ries, opening with St. Mary quarter- back Erik Glavic hitting his favourite target, Aaron Racioppa, for a 25-yard pass in the right corner of the end zone. The St. Mary offence went right back to work after Martin Anderson's fumble recovery on the Rams' 35-yard line. Soon after, running back Eric Robinson carried the mail 10-yards for the second Monarchs' major. In the second quarter, the Mon- archs added to their total with Robin- son running in from four-yards out to open up a 21-0 lead. Before the end of the half, Nolan Smith grabbed an 18-yard pass in the end zone from Glavic for a 27-0 lead. A botched convert attempt also ended up in the end zone, with holder and backup quarterback Jesse Andrews finding starting pivot Glavic in the end zone for the two-point convert. Scoring second-half touchdowns were Racioppa on a 25-yard pass from Jesse Andrews, who relieved Glavic at the start of the third quar- ter. Late in the fourth quarter, senior linebacker Mike Ceres got into the scoring act, picking up a live ball after a blocked field goal attempt and am- bled 75 yards to the end zone. In addition to his two-point con- vert, Glavic also added a 15-yard field goal and four converts.Raiders runners-up at tourney DDUURRHHAAMM —— The Ajax-Picker- ing Raiders Boyd Decorat- ing/Page Flooring/K-Line In- sulators peewee 'AAA' rep hockey team worked overtime to get to the final of its own re- cent tournament. The Raiders competed at the annual Early Bird Tourna- ment at Don Beer Arena, skat- ing all the way to the final be- fore dropping a heartbreaking 4-3 decision to the Peterbor- ough Petes in overtime. Andy Andreoff, Nicholas Baun and Dylan Page scored for the Raiders, with assists to Kristopher Barclay, Mike Pur- cell, Andreoff and Colton Kennedy. In exciting semifinal action, the Raiders defeated a strong Yo rk-Simcoe Express squad 3- 2 in overtime. Kennedy was the Raiders' hero, scoring the game-winning marker in the extra frame. Drew Boyd con- nected for the Raiders' two goals in regulation time. Baun, Kyle Sawyer, Barclay and Pur- cell contributed assists. The Raiders started slowly, dropping Game 1 of the tour- nament 1-0 to the Whitby Wildcats. In the second game, the Ajax-Pickering peewees de- feated Cambridge Hawks 3-1. Brett Holmberg, Andreoff and Evan Haga scored. Andreoff chipped in with two assists, Tyler Sutherland and Baun added one apiece. The Raiders met the Picker- ing Panthers 'AA' peewees in Game 3, with the Raiders win- ning convincingly, 7-3. Sawyer opened the scoring, followed by goals from Kennedy, Cal- lum Lynch, Boyd, Holmberg, Baun and Andreoff. Haga, Holmberg and Sutherland each recorded two assists, Boyd, Page and Kennedy had one apiece. Goaltenders Jared Cowley and Marco Tamburro were su- perlative throughout the tour- nament. Adam Gray, Brandon Sellers and Ryan Brawley also contributed to the Raiders' success. Trevor Nkiwane coaches the team, assisted by Bob Purcell and Derek Wright. The man- ager is Kathy Andreoff.

Battle of football undefeateds in Oshawa Sunday DDUURRHHAAMM ——Sunday's football match-up between the Ajax- Pickering Dolphins and Os- hawa Hawkeyes peewees is shaping up to be a battle royale, not to mention a possi- ble preview of the league championship. Ajax-Pickering and Oshawa enter the Central Ontario Minor Football League (COMFL) contest with identi- cal 5-0 records. In the teams only other meeting this sea- son, in the annual Brennan Bowl game, the Dolphins eked out a 22-20 victory in the exhi- bition kick-off match. The crucial contest is slated for Oshawa's Civic Stadium at 1:30 p.m. with the winner al- most guaranteed a bye week before the league playoff semifinals, an added incentive for both teams. Dolphins' peewee head coach Ken Fedosen notes it is the marquis match-up of the reg ular season. His team en- ters the contest somewhat banged up. "This is our biggest test of the season, we have starters nursing injuries and we will be playing with a mixture of starters and rookies." Fedosen believes the game will be won in the trenches on the defensive and offensive lines. He adds his Dolphins need to play mistake-free ball in order to be successful against a Hawkeyes team that he fully expects will have some new wrinkles in their play- book for this pivotal game. "In order to be successful we will need to execute our as- signments, maintain our com- posure and focus for the en- tire contest. The Hawkeyes are an excellent team and I am positive they will have in- troduced new offensive and defensive packages to their game plan in an attempt to surprise us and take advan- tage of game situations. We will need to be prepared for these potential roadblocks and have alternatives in mind just in case," he says. "When teams are this close- ly matched, turnovers, special team play or mental mistakes can also determine the out- come of the contest. On of- fence, we must control the line of scrimmage and, on defence, we must not allow the Hawk- eye's to have any long, time- consuming offensive drives." The Dolphins' peewees kept their undefeated season in- tact last Sunday with a 38-0 drubbing of the visiting North Yo rk Grizzlies at Pickering's Kinsmen Park. The game was over at half time as the Dolphins had scored all the points it needed -- all 38, in fact -- to put the contest out of reach. Dolphin touchdowns came fast and furious in the first half as running back Jer- mayne Goodridge and wide receiver Travis Thomas each scored twice in the half and fullback Tristan Ming scored www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 26, 2003 PAGE 31 A/P SAVE NOW ON GOLF MEMBERSHIPS SAVE NOW ON GOLF MEMBERSHIPS BUY YOUR 2004 MEMBERSHIP NOW...

Placekicker Alexander Ko was suc- cessful on four convert attempts adding eight points to the peewees' first-half total. Quarterback David Priestman had an outstanding day with effi- cient play calling and accurate pass- ing. The Dolphins ran a balanced at- tack scoring three running touch- downs and two passing majors. Superior blocking from the left side of the offensive line enabled running back Jermayne Goodridge to burst through for a 30-yard touch- down romp. Tristan Ming scored the second Dolphins' major, this time it was the right side of the offensive line that ploughed the way for a 35- yard run to the end zone. The Dol- phins' third scoring play came on a 20-yard pass from Priestman to Thomas. Goodridge scored the fourth touchdown on an eight-yard run behind the middle of the Dol- phins' offensive line. The final scor- ing play came on a 50-yard pass- and-run hook-up from Priestman to Thomas. The offensive line anchored by centre Taylor Rice was outstanding as it controlled the line of scrim- mage and battled hard in the trenches. Tight end Eric Degnan ex- ecuted his assignments to perfec- tion. The defence recorded their first shutout of the season, playing as a unit and executed its assignments perfectly. The special teams unit led by kick- er Justice Mounsey had a fabulous day in limiting the Grizzlies to little or no gain on kick-off returns and the aggressive downfield coverage resulted in two fumble recoveries.

Ty k e, atom Dolphins dispose of North York DDUURRHHAAMM ——The Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins atom football team ran its record to 6-0 with a solid 26-6 victory over the visiting North York Grizzlies last Sunday. Once again, the defence led the way as the starting defensive front four -- Peter Iyamu, Matt Blum, Brandon Misseri and Jamel Watson -- had its best game of the Central Ontario Minor Football League season. Alan Forsythe enjoyed a big game making several tackles. Pat Charron contributed a 25-yard interception. Cornerback Darnell Brown played well, taking an interception 45 yards inside the Grizzlies' five-yard line. Middle linebacker Kiel Whelan also made several tackles. Kyle Goffe led the way offensively with two touchdowns and a convert. Tosh Miller Francis and Jesse Kelly each scored touchdowns. Myles Daly, Tristan Garnett and Jonah Wynter also contributed to the ground game. The Dolphins' tykes also emerged victorious last Sunday, defeating Nor th York 55-0. The tykes also im- proved their league record to a perfect 6-0. Quarterback Richard Quittenton, in his first-ever start in rep football, had made his debut a winning one. Fullback Cole Tudor opened up the scoring on an off-tackle run early in the first quarter. Wide receiver Nick Naimool scored the second touchdown on an end- around sweep in the second quarter. Running back Denver Wright, back in the action this week after missing last week's game, scored on a sweep late in the quarter. The third-quarter scoring belonged to the defence as defensive back Matthew Smith intercepted a Griz- zlies' pass and ran it into the end zone. Late in the quarter, defensive cornerback Dustin Kaupp picked yet another Grizzly pass and broke to the end zone. Tudor and Ashton Rochester scored fourth-quarter touchdowns. The point after touchdown team, led by kicker Dillon Campbell, was hot on Sunday completing 5-of-6 kicks for 15 points. The defence recorded its fifth shutout of the season with only seven points against them to date. Defen- sive stars of the game were Matt Smith and Dustin Kaupp. Offensive star of the game was tight end An- drew Faigal who stepped up to this starting role, filling in for an injured player. The atoms and tykes also put their undefeated COMFL league records on the line against the Oshawa Hawkeyes in Oshawa Sunday. pickeringtowncentre.com Te kesha from Metalsmiths MALL WIDE JOB FAIR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH & SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH OVER 60 ret ail locations at Pickering Town Centre are hiring new employees • Full-time • Part-time • Seasonal Need help in preparing for an interview or how to look for a job, or just need resume tips?
