Durham Regional Police spokesman Paul Malik said po- lice haven’t ruled out a possible link between the shooting and looting, which took place a few hours earlier at Scarborough Town Centre. “It may be linked but we’re not sure at this point,” he said in an interview. Tw o men gunned down Durham Regional Police Identification Unit officers check for gun shells and other evidence in south Ajax early Friday. Tw o men suffered non life-threatening gun shot wounds and one man was arrested. Local politicians say its time to step up safety measures BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — A Pickering coun- cillor and the Clarington mayor are lobbying safety officials to impose a no-fly zone over the Pickering and Darlington nu- clear stations. Assuming such a regulation was already in place, Pickering Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land said he was shocked to learn last week a man detained by police for possible links to terrorist activity, allegedly flew over the Pickering nuclear sta- tion on training flights. The flight path allegation is contained in a four-page sum- mary in a police investigation. “It was total news to me that there wasn’t a no-fly zone,” he said. “It’s one of those things that seem inherently logical. Coun. Holland said residents living around the Pickering nu- clear station are fearful for their safety following news federal authorities have detained 19 men suspected of having terror- ism ties. Anwar-Ur-Rehman Mohammed, a 31-year-old Indi- an student, who allegedly flew over the Pickering nuclear sta- tion while trying to obtain his commercial pilot’s licence, was denied release Thursday. Manny Rosario, of the Durham Flight Centre, told re- porters the student passed an RCMP background check when he enrolled in flight training there shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks in the United States. No-fly zone wanted at nuclear plants Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser ✦See Politicians page 2 ✦See Scarborough page 3 But he said Mr. Mo- hammed never flew over the Pickering nuclear plant as part of his train- ing. “Our area for flight in- struction is over the light- ly-populated areas of Scu- gog Township north of Os- hawa,” Mr. Rosario said. Regardless, Coun. Hol- land says the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion (CNSC) needs to re- quest Transport Canada to restrict all air traffic around the Pickering, Darlington and Bruce nu- clear plants. “I think we have to say we’re not comfortable with this as a municipali- ty,” he added. “If flight paths were altered we could identify a plane fly- ing over the nuclear plant and have some warning. As it stands today, we wouldn’t know until some- thing hit the ground. Clarington Mayor John Mutton said he’s been qui- etly writing the Minister of National Defence since May in an effort to raise similar concerns, but without raising alarm among his constituents living around the Darling- ton station. May 31, an airplane from Canadian Forces Base Trenton circled over Bow- manville before dropping a parachutist into a local park as part of a demon- stration for a local school. The mayor’s office was aware of the drop, which was authorized by the de- fence ministry but Mayor Mutton said Durham Re- gional Police, which pro- vides ground security to the Darlington nuclear plant wasn’t informed. Mayor Mutton has also requested the status of a CF-18 jet fighter at CFB Trenton. After Sept. 11, 2001, then minister of de- fence Art Eggleton as- sured him the fighter would protect air space around the nuclear plants in the event of any threat. In addition to the no-fly zone, he also wants a non- navigational zone im- posed around the nuclear stations for boats. “It makes no sense that you can’t get anywhere on the property but you can f loat up to the door,” Mayor Mutton added. The CNSC, which over- sees safety for nuclear plants, said it has never requested Transport Canada impose no-fly zones for nuclear facilities because they aren’t prag- matic. It insists the best defence is tightened secu- rity at the airport. “But we wouldn’t ignore a request from someone for a no-fly zone,” said spokesman Kelly Kilrea. Anyone, not just the CNSC, can make the re- quest by appealing direct- ly to the federal minister of transport, she said. However, proximity to To r onto’s Pearson Inter- national Airport makes establishing a protected radius around the Picker- ing and Darlington sta- tions difficult, she added. “It would make civil avi- ation impossible. No one could fly over Toronto,” Ms. Kilrea said. While there isn’t a no-fly zone, there are Transport Canada regulations, which restrict planes from f lying less than 1,000 feet over populated areas, she pointed out. But when asked how Transport Canada monitors the ceil- ing, Bernard Pilon, a spokesman for the depart- ment said the 1,000-foot regulation is more of a “general aviation rule of thumb. “Pilots have to fly within certain areas and flight paths, and they know where it is they can fly and can’t fly.” As for a no-fly zone, he said, “We are ready to act quickly if requested, but we would have to study it.” However, establishing a radius around the Picker- ing and Darlington plants would be helpful for Durham police, said emer- gency measures officer Sergeant Jim Grimley. Planes and traffic heli- copters regularly fly over the nuclear stations be- cause of their proximity to major airports and Hwy. 401, he said. As well, small planes often use the lakeshore to g uide them. Darlington nuclear is also on the one of the flight paths into Os- hawa Municipal Airport, he added. —— TToorrssttaarr NNeewwss SSeerrvviiccee A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 31, 2003 www.durhamregion.com putting our energy to good use www.opg.com Join United Way of Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge and Ontario Power Generation’s Pickering Nuclear station as we kick off the charity’s 2003 Fundraising Campaign.

DURHAM Politicians want heightened security for nuclear stations ✦ Politicians from page 1 DDUURRHHAAMM — Five people have been charged follow- ing an investigation into crack cocaine trafficking Wednesday. After obtaining a search warrant for a motel room on Consumers Drive, the Durham Regional Police drug enforcement unit dis- covered drug equipment, cash, packaged marijuana and a large quantity of crack cocaine. The street value of the crack cocaine is estimated at $11,600 and the marijuana $160. The accused are charged with possession of a con- trolled substance; pro- ceeds of crime; and two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Charged are: Jermaine Mar tinborough, 21, of no fixed address; Andrew Colin, 20, of Weeks Drive, Ajax; Horace Huntley Spence, 18, of no fixed ad- dress; Cora Lee Prisque, 40, of Montrave Avenue, Oshawa; and a 17-year-old youth.

Monday Scarborough looting may be linked to shooting The shooting broke out at around 12:50 a.m. at the Sawhil Restaurant and Banquet Facilities on Westney Rd. in Ajax. Upon arrival, police found two men with gunshots to their legs and “several hundred young people” streaming out of the restaurant, said Sgt. Malik. “We’re still trying to dis- cover what type of event was taking place at the time of the shooting,” he said. “I’ve heard several rumours that it may have been a pre-school party, dance party, or dance.” The victims, aged 17 and 18 were taken to Rouge Valley Health, Ajax and Pickering hospital with non-life threatening in- juries and later transferred to another facility. “I’m not at liberty to say where they were trans- ferred out of concern for their own safety. You never know should someone try to look for them,” Sgt. Malik said. Officers managed to quickly secure the scene, he said, and discovered one suspect had left the area. He was located a short distance from the scene. The 20-year-old Scar- borough man has been ar- rested with charges pend- ing. Police are on the hunt for a second suspect, an Ajax man, Sgt. Malik said. Several guns and a knife were discovered during an extensive search of the area later that morning, he added. A number of businesses arrived Friday morning to find police had cordoned off the east side of Westney Road, from the Sawhil Restaurant south to the overgrown vacant lot near Bayly Street. With a forensic identifi- cation unit van parked at the restaurant, officers with dogs combed the area, one checking out the west side of Bayly at the Super 8 Motel. But as officers scoured the east side of Westney Road, Haissan Elawar, who with his sister owns Diamond Shine Car Clearning and Detailing, was waiting to open up for the day from behind the police tape. “What are you going to do? You’ve got to stick it out,” said Mr. Elawar. “They’ve got a job to do. I’m sure they don’t like in- conveniencing us.” News of the shooting was “very unsettling” for the plus 20-year Ajax resi- dent, and something he would expect to hear about in Oshawa or Toron- to, but not here. Scott Taylor, a mechanic at Midas Auto Service, was also sitting on the g rass, unable to go to work. “It’s costing us money,” he said of the delay. Mr. Taylor noted that it is the third time business has been disrupted in a month. Other than the shooting investigation, there was a fire behind the shop and the blackout two weeks ago. Thursday night, at around 7:30 p.m., 150 teens caused a disturbance in the Scarborough Town Centre after attending a nearby youth event at the Albert Campbell Square. No injuries were report- ed. One teen was arrested, charged and released at the scene, Toronto Police Services said in a news re- lease. Paul Osbourne, co-ordi- nator of ‘Vibrations’, stressed there was no trouble at the event itself between noon and 8 p.m., describing it as “peaceful. “It was an all-day youth event trying to profile the talents of the youth in Scarborough as well as giving them information (on community service providers), he said.

BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — The next time you’re lost out to sea, you might feel better knowing these four men are on shore. Jim Snow, Derek Cartier, Brad Suckling, and Adrian Spiering recently took first place at the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary Central and Arctic Region Search and Rescue Competition. They go on to compete at the 2003 International Search and Rescue Competition held Sept. 26 and 27 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. “It was a gruelling nine- hour competition,” Mr. Snow said, of the regional event held Aug. 9 in Kingston. His crew squared off against nine other teams from as far away as Nunavut and Sault Ste. Marie in a host of events, which tested such skills as search planning, chart work, towing, search patterns on water, line throws, and radio communi- cations. In St. John’s, they’ll com- pete against 11 other groups from all over Canada and the United States. All of the local squad’s members are volunteers with Pickering Auxiliary Rescue Association (PARA), a non- profit organization called into action by the Canadian Coast Guard for emergencies. Mr. Snow is a full-time para- medic, while Mr. Cartier is a sales associate at the Building Box. Mr. Suckling is a bylaw officer with the City of Picker- ing, and Mr. Spiering is a credit officer. But they all take turns working weekends and week- nights with PARA, which moors a 35-foot aluminum- hulled boat with twin diesel engines at Frenchman’s Bay Ya c ht Club in Pickering. The organization has 45 local vol- unteers. “I started doing (the com- petitions) this year, sort of as a lark or something fun to do,” said Mr. Snow, one of PARA’s nine coxswains, who head the search and rescue unit. “But as we kept going fur- ther, we found we were getting great results and the bar just kept getting higher,” he said. “And what you learn doing this, you take back with you,” to serve on Durham’s shores. Rescue workers put skills on the line Members of the Pickering Auxiliary Rescue won the Provincial Search and Rescue competition and are headed to the Nationals.

Overeaters Anonymous meet every Thursday Keeping an eye on the news News Advertiser Metroland Durham Region Media Group Strike up the band UOIT ready to show the world what it has to offer It was a birthing years in the making, but this week, after much anticipation, the University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology will make president Gary Polonsky one proud papa. UOIT, sparkling new, is ready to show everyone it has what it takes to meet the education and research challenges of the 21st century. It's not too much of a stretch to say that UOIT/Durham College could well prove to be the post-sec- ondary education model for Canada, with college and universi- ty programs and services located conveniently on one campus. It's a tremendously exciting concept and we'll now see theory turned into reality. To be fair, you must walk before you run and UOIT has a long way to go before it will be up to full speed. A tremendous amount of construction is slated for the next few years as the UOIT/Durham College campus stretches north of Conlin Road into Windfields Farm lands. Mr. Polonsky has laid out a truly ambitious plan designed to put the Durham/UOIT post-secondary complex at the pinnacle of the education system in this country within a decade. This university is perfectly in sync with the growth we will ex- perience in Durham. It will offer an excellent choice to students who want the education they thirst for but would prefer to stay in their home communities. The cost of a university education continues to climb rapidly with fees growing upwards of 10 per cent a year. A full five-course load is nearly $5,000 for tuition only and the costs only rise for other required articles and fees such as books, athletics, transportation and parking. Eliminat- ing or reducing housing and food costs is a huge step to mak- ing world-class post-secondary education accessible to Durham residents. UOIT/Durham will also act as a research facility and will at- tract business and much-needed economic development. It's often been said Dr. Polonsky dreamed of one day seeing a university established in Durham Region. Through hard work, perseverance and a little help from his friends, the educator has seen that dream come true. It's astonishing when you go back even further, back into the 1960s when the fledgling Durham College was just a few buildings in the middle of wilderness in north Oshawa, its only neighbour was Camp Samac. The people of this region can be extremely proud that Durham has broken through and established Ontario's first new university in more than 30 years. But we're just getting started. You won't believe where we'll be a decade hence. Signs a discredit to veterans TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: As a former resident and still fre- quent visitor to the Town of Ajax, I feel a need to address something that has come to my attention. The ongoing con- struction of the new on/off ramp servic- ing Hwy. 401 has required a few signs documenting road closures related to the construction. I have noticed the name Achilles has been spelled incor- rectly on several of the temporary signs. It is my opinion, out of respect to the historical significance to the name Achilles, these signs should be updated to correct the spelling. The recent story about the naming of Trott Lane as a gesture of honour to the gentleman, Mr. Basil Trott, who served as a crewmember on the HMS Exeter during the Battle of the River Plate exemplifies the importance that history plays in regards to Ajax. I have attempted to have the situa- tion addressed by emailing both the Town of Ajax and the Region of Durham, the results of which may be seen on several of the signs. There is a painted or drawn letter, in my opinion an inadequate remedy. As these signs are of a temporary nature perhaps it is felt that there is no need to properly at- tend to them.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, Aug 31, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Those daring young flyers still draw a crowd At this time of year, my thoughts turn west to the Canadian Nation Exhibition and the annual Labour Day week- end air show. As a child, an era when it took more time and dis- tance for pilots to turn around, I re- member 'air shows' right above Pickering Village. As far back as Sept. 7, 1909 when Canada's first air show took place over Scarborough Beach Park, spectators and pilots alike have been taking part. The single Curtis biplane that plied the skies over Scarborough 94 years ago thrilled the crowd less than a year before the first controlled flight in Canada had taken place in Baddeck, N.S. Controlled, powered flight had seemed impossible until Orville Wright took off in 1903. Everyone was hooked. But what does it take for a man or woman to strap him or herself into a craft that defies gravity? On a summer day 62 years ago, a 19- year-old wrote the answer. His name was John Gillespie Magee, Jr., a pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Born in Shanghai, China to American mis- sionary parents, he left the U.S. to join the Canadian air force in 1939. No one - with the possible excep- tion of French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - has described the ecstasy of flight better. Here is John Magee's poem. I hope it brings even more to your experience the next time you see silver wings dancing in the sky. 'High Flight' Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter- silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God. 'High Flight' was written on the back of a letter Pilot Officer Magee sent to his parents in the late sum- mer of 1941. A few months later he was killed when he Spitfire collid- ed with another plane over Eng- land.

In an announcement Wednesday, the Ontario premier said the Province would help municipalities and services like hospitals with blackout-related expenses such as emergency health arrangements, provision of extra policing, emer- gency control headquarters, and re- pairs to publicly-owned water and sewer facilities. "I'm glad he's announced that, be- cause it would have been extensively above what we had anticipated" in terms of costs to the Region, says Durham Chairman Roger Anderson. "I'm sure we'll submit our bill once we add it up. "We appreciate the offer." Though it's too early to say how much the blackout cost the Region, Mr. Anderson says he believes the most expensive portion will be polic- ing, since so many officers worked overtime to help ensure public safety while the lights were out. "We kept an awful lot of them after the day shift," he said. The Region is expected to have a cost estimate by early next week. Likewise, local health corpora- tions will take advantage of the fi- nancial help. However, it won't likely be a large bill that the Lakeridge Health Corporation submits to the Province, says chief executive officer Brian Lemon. Likewise, Rouge Val- ley Ajax and Pickering hospital will be submitting a bill, says chief execu- tive officer Hume Martin. "Certainly, we welcome the pre- mier's comments, and we will be sub- mitting a claim," he says, noting Health Ministry staff "have already been in touch" with the corporation regarding its claim. The size of that bill has yet to be determined, he says, though he suspects it will be similar to the $50,000 estimate from Lakeridge.

JOSEPH A. MISKIN, DENTIST HWY. 401 HWY. 2 WESTNEY RD.HARWOOD AVE.WE ARE AVAILABLE TO SERVE YOU WE WELCOME NEW PATIENTS WE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES Every year thousands of men face a dilemma. Their blood tests for prostate cancer (PSA) suggest a malignancy. Subsequent biopsies prove cancer is indeed present. But today the wisdom of Solomon is re- quired to know what to do about it. Particularly when the first question they and their wives ask is, “Will the treatment result in impotence?” Dr. Gary Onik is a radiologist and Director of the Centre for Surgical Advancement in Celebration, Fla. He recently reported that freezing the prostate gland (cryosurgery) can save men from impotence, uri- nary incontinence and injury to bowel. Cryosurgery kills the malignancy by freezing only part of the gland, but spares the nerves responsible for an erection. The procedure involves inserting two to five probes about the diame- ter of a piece of spaghetti directly into the gland. Argon gas then cools the probes which freezes the cancer tissue for several minutes. The ma- lignant area is then allowed to thaw, frozen again and allowed to thaw. Dr. Onik reports that, so far, no patients have developed urinary in- continence, diarrhea or bowel com- plications. Nor has there been a re- currence of the cancer after three years. One man may be eligible for the Guinness Book of Records, however. The patient claims he had normal sex five days following the proce- dure! Dr. Onik reports another benefit of cryosurgery. It doesn’t launch a missile-like attack on the prostate gland that completely destroys it. Often, such treatment causes impo- tence and other complications. Moreover, since it’s not an all-or- nothing assault, it’s still possible to use cryosurgery again at a later date if a suspicion of recurrence occurs. Patients treated with radical surgery don’t have the option of re- peated therapy. Nor do patients who are given the full dose of X-rays. Tissue can only stand so much radiation. Currently, men with prostate can- cer have two basic choices. Some de- cide on “watchful waiting”, hoping the repeat PSA test will show the malignancy is not progressing. This approach requires stoicism as it ap- pears to be totally contradictory to everything patients have been taught about cancer, that the soon- er a cancer is treated the better the chance of survival. But some cases of prostate cancer are akin to getting grey hair. Autopsy studies show that by age 70 about 50 per cent of males have areas of microscopic cancer in the prostate gland! Since the malignancy grows slowly patients usually die of something else long before it causes trouble. It’s for this reason that one of the world’s most famous urolo- gists used to stress that “getting older is invariably fatal, cancer of the prostate only sometimes.” Some patients, however, can- not sleep knowing cancer is pre- sent and want immediate treat- ment. Some elect to have surgery or radiation. One radia- tion technique, called brachytherapy, inserts radioac- tive needles into the gland to de- stroy cancerous tissue. So what prompted these let- ters? It wasn’t what you might suspect, impotence. Rather, it was urinary incontinence or that the quality of their lives had been totally destroyed by having to wear diapers. They complain if this problem had been thor- oughly discussed with them prior to the surgery, they would have refused the operation. My advice is to always get a second opinion and think care- fully about where and from whom you receive treatment. Remember the data published about urinary incontinence usu- ally applies to the top urologists. For surgeons with less experi- ence, there’s a greater chance of patients spending retirement years in diapers, not quite “the golden years” we all anticipate.

Men are for Mars, and women are too Everyone enjoy the chance to get close look at red planet BByy AAlleexxiiss SScciiuukk Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Romy Scott has never in her young life seen anything like it before. As the six-year-old steps away from the telescope her eyes light up and she begins to dance around. “It is so cool,” she yells to her mother Lynda who, on the van ride over, had told her all about the plan- et. After looking through the tele- scope herself, Mrs. Scott seconds her daughter’s opinion. “It is amazing it comes in so clear, it’s beautiful,” she said. The Scott family members were just a few of the hundreds down at Lakeview Park Wednesday night trying to catch a glimpse of Mars. For the first time in approximate- ly 60,000 years, Earth and Mars are at their closest point, 35 million miles apart. Astronomers have estimated the next time the two will be this close is in 2287. Mike Cook was one of the many members of the Durham Region As- tronomical Association to set up telescopes at the park for people to view the night sky. “It is just a hobby, it’s a passion, it is just wonderful to see nature at its grandest scale and it is just amazing to see it this way and that is what is keeping me involved,” said Mr. Cook. Ten members of the club brought their own telescopes down for use, some measuring 18 inches in diam- eter. “Half of me is personally enjoying this and the other half is enjoying sharing it with others. I really get a kick out of doing this,” said Mr. Cook. “With all the media hype we thought we would come down to Lakeview and share this with the public and make sure they get a good view of Mars because it is a once-in-a-life time event,” he said. The club has been down at the lake all week, some nights staying as late as 2 a.m. “This has been our busiest night so far. I think we are going to have 500 to a thousand people here tonight,” said Mr. Cook. “Many people are just amazed. They look and then ask questions.” For more information about Mars, visit the Durham Region As- tronomical Association’s Web site at www.drastronomy.com. Red Cross delivers the goods BByy AAlleexxiiss SScciiuukk Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — For many students, back-to-school shopping is the best part of the year. Yet thousands of Durham children normally wouldn’t have the pleasure of sweeping the store aisles for their favourite binder or coloured pen because they don’t have enough money. However, the Canadian Red Cross is changing all of that with its back-to-school back- pack program. The program provides disadvantaged school- aged children across Durham with a backpack filled with school supplies. Local businesses, commu- nity leaders, service groups, the public and schools are partners in the venture, providing the nec- essary school supplies. “We feel that back-to- school is an important time for children and we want to help the communi- ty out,” said Eric Belbin, store manager at Office Depot in Whitby, which has donated 120 bags filled with school supplies. “Talking to schools and the Red Cross we realized that there are a lot of needy kids. They told us that they get all kinds of things at Christmas time and Thanksgiving like food, but education and back to school is a huge thing that people don’t think about.” Initiated in 2000 by the United Way, the program received 150 requests for backpacks in its first year. That number has in- creased to 4,500 this fall. “We work with the school board and they have iden- tified children that are in need,” said Heather Boyd, community services co-or- dinator for the Canadian Red Cross. “They know the children and a particular school that is having some problems.” All of the elementary and high schools within Durham have been con- tacted and asked to submit the number of children in need of supplies. Ms. Boyd said parents are doing their best to help their children, but have to prioritize when it comes to money. “There are a lot of fami- lies that are trying to care for their children, but it is hard to come up with a couple hundred dollars at the beginning of the school year for new shoes and school supplies. It is very expensive,” she said. “We look at this program as a way of giving them a little bit of break.” The program has gar- nered positive results and left many children in tears of joy, she added. “Part of what the Red Cross does is provide peo- ple with dignity,” said Ms. Boyd. “In most cases peo- ple won’t know who the kids are; they are not visi- bly noticeable. The pro- gram is so successful be- cause everyone is so happy.” The Red Cross has al- ready put together 141 bags with more on the way. “The goal is to fill 100 per cent of the requests for this year,” said Ms. Boyd. “Even a box of crayons here and a ruler there adds up.” Fo r more information about the program or to donate, call 905-723-2933 or fax 905-723-9023. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 31, 2003 PAGE 13 A/P Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd. •Great Door Prizes •Refreshments & hors d’oeuvers compliments of Bunnys Catering Find out how your business can be involved in the fall wedding event of the year.

Office Depot store manager Eric Belbin lends a hand. Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo scored by tight end Shayne Pinnock on a 12-yard pass from Lim. Through- out the contest the Dolphins' defence dominated with bone-jarring tackles and excellent pass coverage. Special teams' players Tristan Ming and Phillip Roy were consistently down- field on kick-offs tackling their oppo- nents deep in their zone. Fullback Andrew Quintenton played a solid game, opening holes for Goodridge and Ming to run through. The offen- sive line was dominant, allowing Priestman and Lim the time to exe- cute the Dolphins' pass plays. The Dolphins host perennial rivals, the Burlington Stampeders, in the COMFL home opener on Monday, Sept. 1 at Kinsmen Park in Pickering. The tyke game is at 9:30 a.m., followed by the atoms at 11:30 a.m. and the peewees at 1:30 p.m. Ti-cats tamed in season opener DDUURRHHAAMM —— The Ajax-Picker- ing Dolphins Football Club got the season off to a roaring start by taming the Clarington Tiger-Cats in Bowmanville Sunday. The tykes silenced the 'Cats 27-0, while the atoms also rolled past Clarington 61-0. The peewees finished the opening day of Central On- tario Minor Football League (COMFL) action with a deci- sive 48-9 victory to make it a clean sweep for the Dolphins. In the tyke contest, the Dol- phins scored early and often en route to the victory, boost- ing their record to 2-0 after a 51-0 blowout over the York- Simcoe Young Bucs last week. Running back Richard Quin- tenton and fullback Cole Tudor opened the scoring in the second quarter with back- to-back touchdowns against Clarington. Denver Wright added a conversion. The Dolphins' tykes picked up the attack in the second half, with Tudor scoring his second major of the game in the fourth quarter. Running back Dillon Campbell added some insurance with another fourth-quarter touchdown. Quintenton, playing quarter- back, threw to tight end Ash- ton Rochester for a two-point convert. The defensive stars of the game were lineman Jordan Ali and his brother safety Kyle Ali. On offence, the stars were g uard Nathan Cheung and tight end Darell Gonzales. Meanwhile, in the atom con- test, the Dolphins posted their second consecutive win of the season with a strong effort against Clarington. Quarterback Tosh Miller Francis ran the offence effec- tively, scoring a touchdown. Kyle Goffe had three major scores and added three extra points; Myles Daly con- tributed two rushing touch- downs. Tight end Josh Smith scored his first touchdown of the season off a 30-yard pass from Miller Francis. Tight end David Hassell scored his first touchdown on a pass from Miller Francis. Tyler Grayer completed the scoring with a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jesse Kelly, in re- lief of Miller Francis. Offensive game stars includ- ed David Wilson and Lex Scot- land who had several recep- tions apiece. Giancarlo Amen- ta took over kicking duties in the second half. Defensive linemen Peter Iyamu, Florian Schlosser, Jamel Watson and Matt Blum all supplied stellar outings. Alan Forsythe had his second interception of the season and was in on several tackles. Jonathan Dube, Alyx McMil- lan and Alex Green also added interceptions. Pat Charron, Adrian Williamson, Kyle Whe- lan, Darnell Brown and Andre Shand all contributed top- notch performances. In the peewee contest, the Dolphins improved their record to 2-0, opening up a 24-0 first-quarter lead en route to the lopsided victory over Clarington. The Dolphins scored on their first possession when quarterback David Priestman hooked up with wide receiver Cecil Cher- rie on a 50-yard touchdown pass. Dolphins' defensive tack- le Kevin Campbell broke through the Tiger Cat offen- sive line and blocked a punt, recovered by cornerback David McIlravey for a touch- down and a quick 16-0 lead. On the Dolphins' next offensive possession, Priestman hooked up with wide receiver Travis Thomas for a 40-yard touch- down pass and the rout was on. Place-kicker Alexander Ko had another successful day as he converted 5-of-6 extra points. He also connected for 22-yard field goal in the second quarter. The onslaught continued in the third quarter as running back Jermayne Goodridge scored on a 15-yard run. Rook- ie quarterback Andrew Lim scored on a three-yard run late in the quarter. The final touchdown was A dolphin treat...

The van’s windshield was destroyed and the vandals left large footprints across the hood of the ve- hicle. The office, which administrates Meals on Wheels and various other community outreach programs, re- cently moved to Bayly Street in Pickering, near the GO train station from its previous location on Hunt Street in Ajax. It uses the van to transport meals to a pick-up point for its Ajax volunteers who then de- liver food to residents in need of the assistance. As well, the van is used to take some Community Care clients grocery shopping in the two communities. “I can’t believe someone would do this,” said Ms. Tim. “We are either going to have to cancel the service or find more volunteers.” The van, was out of commission for the day but fortunately, Apple Auto Glass was able to provide a quick repair job to get the van back on the road for next week’s deliver- ies, said Ms. Tim later in the day. Community Care is always looking for volunteer drivers to assist with deliveries and errands and losing the van, even for a short time, just put additional strain on the system, she said. Anyone interested in volunteering with the organization can call 905- 837-0017, ext. 226. Meals without wheels DURHAM — A student of a Durham flight school detained by federal authorities for possi- ble terrorist ties seemed like a “normal guy,” says the flying in- structor who spent time in the air with him. Anwar Ur Rehman Mo- hammed was among the 19 peo- ple detained two weeks ago for possible connections to an al- Qaida sleeper cell. He remains in custody. Representatives at the Durham Flight Centre, which operates out of Oshawa Municipal Airport, say Mr. Mo- hammed has been a student there for the last two-and-a-half to three years. Flight instructor Brad Short says, after taking over from an- other instructor, Mr. Mo- hammed has been a student of his for the last year studying to be a commercial pilot. “I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. He was just a nor- mal guy,” said Mr. Short, adding “He was friendly, never secretive or anything. He brought his girl- friend around to fly with him one time, he was a normal per- son.” Mr. Short says Mr. Mo- hammed didn’t attend lessons regularly, which he explained is not uncommon for flight stu- dents, many of whom take their time logging the expensive flight time hours. Mr. Short says his student never asked questions or brought up the subject of the Pickering nuclear plant. Mr. Mohammed reportedly came to Canada from India more than three years ago to obtain his commercial pilot’s li- cence on a six-month student visa. Detained man seemed normal says flight instructor Ajax Pickering Community Care administrator Heather Tim inspects the damage caused by vandals to the Meals on Wheels van.
