The new city-wide graffiti bylaw was passed Oct. 10 and it allows for graffiti to be done in the city if it falls under “art mural exemp- tion.” An art mural is defined as “a mural that has been made for the purpose of beautifying specific property with the consent of the owner of the property.” A property owner can apply to the City of Pickering for permis- sion to create or commission an art mural on his property. The ap- plication must be made in writ- ing and include a sketch of the proposed art mural and a diagram showing the location. Council may approve the application with or without conditions or it can refuse No plans to appeal after second trial By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — For the second time, a jury has found Ronald Woodcock guilty of two counts of first-degree murder connected to the infamous Gagnon Sports rob- bery of 12 years ago. Jurors returned with the guilty verdict around 12:35 p.m. Wednes- day, roughly 24 hours after they began deliberations. The 53-year- old career criminal was found guilty on all 13 counts on an in- dictment that included two counts of first-degree murder, four counts of attempted murder and other weapons and theft-related charg- es. The finding, which came at the conclusion of a seven-week trial, marks the end of a lengthy legal odyssey for the families of Roger Pardy and Kenneth Thomas, the two men murdered by Mr. Wood- cock and his accomplice, Roshan Norouzali, on Sept. 14, 1994. When the verdict was delivered the court was packed with specta- tors including relatives of the slain men. They remained silent as Jus- tice Edwin Minden thanked and discharged the jurors. Mr. Woodcock, a diminutive man who looks older than his age, sat stock still as jurors entered. He shifted almost imperceptibly as the jury foreman uttered “Guilty” for the first of 13 times. As court was adjourned he stood, looking particularly small in his charcoal grey suit, and held out his hands as a police officer handcuffed him. Emotions bubbled to the surface outside the court. Nathalie Pardy and Danielle Thomas, widows of the murdered men, clutched pros- ecutor Greg O’Driscoll in a long, tearful embrace. Several people shed tears even as they smiled at the outcome of the trial. Defence lawyer Peter Zaduk ap- proached both women and told them their lengthy legal ordeal Woodcock found guilty of 1994 killings WAITING FOR HER STORY Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Laura Cook waits patiently for the speeches to end so that she can get to the cookies and juice during the grand opening of the Storytime Nook at the Pickering Central Library.

He would have been 68. A sentencing hearing is set for Tuesday. The man- datory sentence for first-de- gree murder is life in prison with no possibility of pa- role for 25 years, a term Mr. Woodcock will be credited with having begun when he was arrested in 1995. But Justice Minden must also pass sentence on the other 11 counts on the indict- ment. Any time given for those crimes would likely be served concurrently with the life sentence During the trial it was re- vealed, the two travelled to Durham from London with plans to rob Gagnon’s and steal handguns. Early in the day they ab- ducted Mr. Thomas, a car- penter, shooting him four times in the head and aban- doning his body in the bush near the Pickering nuclear plant. His remains were not discovered for several months. After driving Mr. Thom- as’s Chevrolet Caprice to Oshawa the robbers pulled toques over their heads and stormed Gagnon Sports, then located on Simcoe Street South, Mr. Woodcock screaming at staff and pa- trons to get down on the floor. Mr. Woodcock fired at least seven shots from a customized .22-calibre rifle, wounding three men and shooting Mr. Pardy, the store owner, twice as he crouched behind a coun- ter, speaking on the phone. Mr. Pardy died of a gunshot wound to the head. The robbery took about 90 seconds. Eggs Benedict Sandwich •Salem Rd. & Achilles Rd. •Kingston Rd. & Brock Rd.

Pickering graffiti artist Chad Beer doesn’t think the exemption is going to create any new opportunities for him and his friends to be able to express themselves creatively. “It’s very restrictive,” he said. “I think people should have a say on what is put on their fence.” In an attempt to remove itself from the role of art critic, council amended the bylaw to say the exemption could only be granted for a piece commissioned by the City or a BIA-type group, which would exclude indi- vidual, residential property owners from commission- ing a piece for their prop- erty. Mayor Dave Ryan sug- gested the amendment. “I have serious concerns with where council is put- ting itself, and future coun- cils, with the art mural ex- emption,” he said. “When are you going to make the decision about whose art is art?” In an interview following the meeting, Mayor Ryan said he didn’t want council to play the role of art critic. “That’s why I asked for it to be changed because I didn’t want to be put in that position,” he said. The staff report with the bylaw says it was cre- ated because of continuing complaints about wanting graffiti removed, as well as concern that “much of the graffiti we view as simply symbols, words, numbers and colours are actually gang messages depicting territorial boundaries.” Councillors were sup- portive of the bylaw. “This is sending a clear and powerful message that the City of Pickering will not tolerate any tagging or any gang colours,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner. Mr. Beer said his work is not gang related and he sees graffiti (or aerosol art as he calls it) as art, whereas the symbols and numbers done by gangs or bored teenagers is vandalism. He is upset and frustrated with graffiti artists being lumped in with criminals and as a result being dis- criminated against. Within the bylaw, graffiti is defined as “one or more letter, symbols, numbers, etchings, inscriptions, pic- torial representations, or other markings that dis- figure or deface property.” The bylaw prohibits graffiti and details what happens if someone fails to comply. ✦ Complaints from page 1 Complaints led to bylaw Family says trial has been a ‘roller-coaster ride’ ✦ Family from page 1 !,3/ !6!),!",% ◊ !,3/ !6!),!",% ◊ !,3/ !6!),!",% !LL PRODUCTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT ALL RETAILERS L7U``gk]h\]bBcfh\5aYf]WU.%",#a]bihY LJY f mWcadYh]h]jYcjYfgYUgfUhYg LBcWcbbYWh]cbZYYg L@cmU`hmVcbig %)cbgYWcbXdifW\UgY cfidhc%$cb`]bYUhjcl"WU 3EE BACK OF CARD FOR DETAILS :f YeiYbh cjYfgYUgWU``g ;`cVU` TASCO AND MIELE KITCHEN APPLIANCES ADD MONEY IN YOUR POCKET. 1101 Kingston Rd.

Durham Lives! looking for an action hero DURHAM — The Ontario Power Au- thority (OPA) announced this week that Oshawa will be home to one of seven new heat and power plants, expected to add a combined 414 MW to the prov- ince’s power grid. Oshawa PUC Energy Services Inc. (OPUCES) will build a 2.4-megawatt combined heat and power plant on the UOIT campus, adjacent to the current Durham College electrical substation. “This marks the beginning of a new era for our organization,” said OPUC Presi- dent Jeff Rosenthal. “We believe strongly in our responsibility to be involved in projects, no matter what size, that ensure the province has an adequate supply of clean and efficient electricity in the fu- ture.” Ground-breaking for the new plant is tentatively scheduled for early 2007, with full operation expected by 2008. Thermal energy produced at the plant will be used to heat existing and new buildings on the Durham College and UOIT campus, while electricity pro- duced will be used to displace electrical load from the provincial supply grid. “OPUCES has put together a great pro- posal in conjunction with Durham Col- lege and UOIT and it’s on that basis that they were one of the seven chosen,” said Mayor John Gray. “This is good news for our community and it proves OPUC is being very well run.” In April 2006, the OPA issued a prov- incewide request for proposals for up to 1,000 megawatts of combined heat and power generation from alternative sources. The OPUCES project was one of seven proposals given the go-ahead. “The projects are diverse in type and location, providing electricity and effi- cient thermal energy to Ontario industry and communities,” said Paul Bradley, OPA vice president of electricity resourc- es, in a release. “They represent the high efficiency we should be striving for in Ontario’s future power projects.” The plants -- which represent a total investment of about $800 million -- range from Oshawa’s 2.4 MW plant, to the 84 MW East Windsor Cogeneration Centre in Windsor, Ont., and the 236.4 MW Thorold Cogeneration Project in Thorold, Ont. - NEW LOCATION!

I read your Oct. 8 column regarding the school kilts. I agree that they are short and, yes, they do need to be taken care of, but I don’t agree with how you are centring out our school and saying how pretty much we are the only school that has our kilts at a disrespectful length. I think you should really look over your research and study and actually take a look at All Saints, St. Mary, DO’C and any other Catholic school that wears a uniform. Don’t centre us out; we are not the only Catholic high school in Durham Re- gion. And, why is it only based towards the girls? Have you seen the guys at Catholic high schools’ pants around the knees? Don’t centre out just the girls, let alone my high school. Before you start writing stuff in the newspaper get the facts on other high schools and then publish your information.

She whips her long, thin tail from side to side, then gallops to the door and immediately starts to prance and pace, waiting for the leash to be attached and to make her way out into the glorious outdoors. Whisper loves her daily walks but, as anyone who knows these sighthounds will recognize, running is her forte. But, for dog owners in Durham Region, there are precious few areas where dogs are al- lowed to run. That’s why myself, Whisper, a retired racer, and a host of other Durham Re- gion canines and their owners would be pleased if the City of Pickering went beyond the study phase and actually built a dog park. Hopefully, other dog lovers in the region could use it, too. For Pickering politicians who believe it’s a frill, think again. The area would instantly become a hive of activity for pet owners, as exercising their dogs while getting out in the fresh air is a good thing. By and large, a well-exercised and socialized dog is a good, happy pup. Dog parks are also social settings, as everyone, including myself, loves to talk about their mutts. There are two leash-free zones in Ajax -- one in the Greenwood Conservation Area and another on Westney Road South -- but they’re not completely fenced in. For greyhound and other dog owners, unfenced areas are of little value as, for the most part, these dogs love to run, and run, and run...with a fence being the sole thing that’ll corral them. And, most dog owners prefer their pooches to be safe and secure, without worrying whether they’ll wander off or not. If Pickering is serious about building such a facility, they should look no fur- ther for inspiration than the Markham dog park at the intersection of Woodbine Av enue and the Hwy. 407 interchange. It has a small enclosed area that leads into a much larger fenced portion where there’s plenty of room for Fidos of all shapes and sizes to romp. It’s a pleasure to watch them interact in their own curious ways and, mostly, they all get along famously. The Markham dog park comes com- plete with plastic patio chairs for the mas- ters, watering stations for the dogs and, for good measure, the Town has even included ‘doggie bags’ and plenty of trash receptacles, so the park can be left in good order. It’s everything a dog park should be. My Whispy is enraptured with the place. On the several occasions we’ve taken her, she sniffs out the most likely athletes and they immediately split off from the pack. Then, the fun begins. Whisper dashes around after her canine friends like she was back chasing that elusive bunny lure at the dog tracks of Florida. Here’s hoping Pickering will see fit to make a dog park a reality. Open it, and they will run. Al Rivett’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail arivett@durhamregion. com. P ark could be howling success Al Rivett sports editor Use your voice and save a child Silence not an option if you think a young person is being abused It’s the issue we rarely hear about until it’s too late -- far too late. The issue is child abuse, an activity that usually occurs away from public eyes and ears. Defenceless children take a physi- cal, emotional or sexual beating at the hands of adults. Often the abuse is revealed either in the appearance or be- haviour of a battered child, even sometimes in a comment he or she may make. But it’s up to anybody who hears such a com- ment or suspects that abuse is happening, to pick up the phone and make a call to the local Children’s Aid Society (CAS). The silence around child abuse is something the CAS is working hard to stop. That’s why this month, across the prov- ince, the society is promoting the “Use Your Voice,” campaign in conjunction with the purple ribbon/wristband effort to stamp out child abuse. The effort by the CAS is meant to break through to people and show them there is absolutely no stigma attached to reporting suspected child abuse. The CAS, in its studies, has found people usually don’t report suspected abuse because they worry about fear of retribution, confusion as to what constitutes abuse or the traditional belief that it is none of their business. But the harm of a child in our midst is everybody’s business. As for confusion over what constitutes abuse, the bottom line is that, if you suspect it, make the call. The CAS is duty-bound to investigate and will not reveal who made the complaint. In the end, if an investigation finds no abuse took place, then no harm is done. But, if something is truly going on, that call you made could save a vulnerable child’s life. The CAS is one of those agencies where every employee would be happy to be put out of business. However, that’s not going to happen any time soon, if ever. It exists as an agency to advocate for the rights of children. In order to do its job effec- tively, it needs help from the public. If you think child abuse is going on, if you even have a tiny suspicion, call your local CAS. It’s the right thing to do. Innovate Your Bathroom And Save!

DURHAM — As the eleventh day, in the eleventh month at the eleventh hour comes along it is time to remember why we are free. On Saturday, Nov. 11 at 10:30 a.m. the City of Pickering and the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 606, Bay Ridges, will gather at the cenotaph in Esplanade Park, at Pickering City Hall. The gathering is to honour the Canadians who have been killed at war and on United Nations Peace- keeping operations around the world. It is very important that we never forget this day and that we respect the people that were killed for our freedom, noted a press re- lease from the City of Pickering. It is because of them that we are living the life we live today in this country. The public is invited to participate in the Remembrance Day observation by attending the service or laying a wreath at the cenotaph. It’s our responsibility to make sure that our society contin- ues to remember those who fell, or were injured, the release added. To make arrangements to lay a wreath please contact the Royal Canadian Legion at 905-839-2990.

Detective Andrews, a 17-year veteran of Durham Regional Po- lice, was elected boss of the 800- member union Wednesday. He defeated challenger Colleen Daly, a civilian employee of the service who was serving as an association director. Currently working out of the Criminal Investigations Branch at 19 Division in Ajax-Pickering, Det. Andrews has served in a number of capacities with Durham police, including stints as a plainclothes cop, an assignment as a homicide investigator, a detective with 26 Di- vision in north Durham and, per- haps most notably, as head of the Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU). It was with the DEU that Det. Andrews clashed with police brass. The unit, which gained recognition for its high-profile battle against marijuana grow operations and street-level drug trafficking, was rocked in early 2003 by allegations of misconduct made by a former member who wrote to then-chief Kevin McAlpine, accusing his col- leagues of misconduct including theft, excessive use of force and shoddy investigative techniques. Members of the unit were under a cloud of suspicion for more than two years as Ontario Provincial Police investigated the allegations; Det. Andrews was reassigned to the major fraud unit and his for- mer DEU colleagues all sought transfer out of the squad. In the end no criminal charges were laid. Det. Andrews annoyed police brass by showing up at a police station where members of the DEU were being interrogated by OPP investigators, defying an order that he stay away. The show of support for his fellow cops re- sulted in charges under the Police Services Act. In the fall of 2004 he pleaded guilty to insubordination and discreditable conduct and was docked 40 hours pay. Det. An- drews replaces outgoing associa- tion president Doug Cavanaugh.

So who’s going to run the Durham Regional Police? Have no fear: Courtney Chiasson is here. The diminutive Pickering resident was decked out in a custom-tailored uniform when she arrived at police headquarters in Whitby Tuesday morning to take her oath of office and serve as Chief for a Day. Ten-year-old Court- ney, a Grade 5 student at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School in Pickering, was chosen as this year’s recipient of the honour after submit- ting a 500-word essay about her impressions of what it’s like to be a police officer. “They made a serious commitment to do a very dangerous job,” Courtney said in a brief interview Tuesday before taking her oath with the assistance of Deputy-Chief Chuck Mercier. “I think police officers must have special families,” Courtney added. “They must be very worried whenever they hear something bad on the news.” Police brass, members of the police ser- vices board and media members looked on as Courtney took her oath of office. Also observ- ing the ceremony were parents Glen and Sonya Chiasson, who beamed as the child held her own, answering questions from reporters. “What an honour,” Courtney’s dad said. “It’s unbelievable what the police services board has put together for the day.” That day was comprised of an itinerary large- ly of Courtney’s choosing. After being picked up at school in a police vehicle (classmates, she reported, were wowed by her uniform) and taken to HQ in Whitby, Courtney met with officers and dogs assigned to the canine unit, visited the police training centre at Durham College, dropped by the holding cells at 17 Division in downtown Oshawa and examined the 911 communications centre and forensic identification units. Courtney’s first order of business was visiting with the men and women of the Durham Regional Police. “I can’t wait to get around and thank all the police officers and tell them how much I ap- preciate them,” she said. Courtney’s tenure as Chief for a Day continued Thursday evening when she read her essay at the annual Police Appreciation Dinner, an event that honours of- ficers who’ve demonstrated bravery and dedi- cation on the job.

Wi n a Portfolio Package valued at $324.00 Durham walks for Uganda Saturday Gulu event raises awareness of child terror in Africa By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — For northern Ugandan children, night time is too scary for Durham post-secondary students to ignore. On Saturday Oct. 21, students from the University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology (UOIT), Trent University and Durham College are holding a Gu- luWalk. Open to the community, the event is intended to raise awareness, money and support for the children who walk to safety every night in north- ern Uganda, a country in the midst of a civil war. “It’s just a scary sight to see,” said Evan Muller-Cheng, president of the campus’ student association. He saw a DVD featuring footage of the children’s night walk. Mr. Muller-Cheng said at night, the northern Uganda rebellion army goes into rural communities to steal chil- dren. “When they kidnap the children, they rape the females and use the males as slaves to their army,” said Mr. Muller-Cheng. In an effort to escape, children walk together at nightfall to urban centres, such as Gulu, to find a safe place to sleep. Mr. Muller-Cheng said he hopes the grassroots event will raise money and support for the youth of northern Uganda. “The money’s focused on empower- ing the next generation of northern Ugandans through education,” said Mr. Muller-Cheng. He added people are welcome to participate in the walk, even if they have no money to donate. “Our goal right now is, because we’re just a new university, we want to get as much participation as possible,” said Mr. Muller-Cheng. GuluWalk starts at 11 a.m. at Os- hawa’s Memorial Park, between Met- calfe and John streets, and proceeds seven kilometres to the UOIT campus. Commuters can leave their car in the school’s parking lot and take a free shuttle to Memorial Park at 9:30, 10 and 10:30 a.m. Free hamburgers and hot chocolate will be provided after- ward by the campus’ student associa- tion and the Students for Humanitari- anism and Action through Respect and Education (SHARE) group. The Oshawa GuluWalk makes the city one of more than 80 across the world to participate in the one-day event. Durham’s post-secondary students became involved in the GuluWalk after its founder, Adrian Bradbury, an Os- hawa native, contacted SHARE. Mr. Bradbury began the GuluWalk after he first heard of northern Ugan- da’s situation. With his friend Kieran Hayward, he spent every evening in July 2005 walking 12.5 kms in down- town Toronto to sleep in front of city hall. GuluWalk has since become an international event. Mr. Bradbury is also the founder and executive director of the charitable organization, Athletes for Africa. For more information on the Gulu- Walk or to donate, visit www.guluwalk. com. Search without warrant derailed drug bust By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — Two cops who al- legedly derailed a drug investiga- tion by conducting a search with- out a warrant have been charged following a lengthy investigation by Durham police. The officers, both members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, were part of a joint force that makes up the Toronto Airport Drug Enforcement Unit (TADEU). They were arrested after sur- rendering to police in Durham Tuesday and have since been re- leased. Officers with Durham’s pro- fessional standards unit began their investigation after being re- quested to do so by the RCMP in March. It is alleged the two ac- cused men were working as part of the TADEU in February 2005, investigating a suspected drug shipment sent from Vancouver and bound for Hamilton. During the course of the in- vestigation two officers opened a container in which they found a large quantity of methamphet- amine, police said. Police subsequently obtained a search warrant, but failed to document in their notes or in the application for the warrant that the container had already been opened, police said. The gaffe meant that no crimi- nal charges could be laid against the drug dealers who were under investigation. Police were able to seize the drugs. Police are alleging the officers conducted a warrantless search, an action that can jeopardize prosecution of drug charges. “That’s what we’re alleging: In the process of their duty, that they attempted to obstruct justice,” said RCMP spokesperson Michele Paradis. Durham was called in to con- duct the investigation as an out- side police agency, Sergeant Para- dis said. Constable Brian Boulton, 29, and Sergeant John MacLeod, 51, RCMP officers serving with the To ronto Airport detachment, are charged with attempting to ob- struct justice.

Durham police were called to the scene of a multi-car crash around 2 a.m. Oct. 4 in the area of Delaney Drive and Strickland Crescent to find the drivers of two vehicles had fled on foot. Witnesses on scene told cops the cars had been speed- ing up to 120 km/h prior to the crash. They also showed officers which way the suspects had fled. Police caught up with one sus- pect at a nearby school; further investigation led to charges being laid against two Ajax men. Ian McPhee, 21, of Delaney Drive, is charged with dangerous driving, failing to remain at the scene of an accident, public mis- chief and operating a vehicle with- out insurance. Michael Brook- ings, 19, of Church Street South, is charged with dangerous driving, failing to remain at the scene of an accident and public mischief. NEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-5110 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 14 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 20, 2006 STAR experience is a positive one DURHAM — It wasn’t a surprise to see shocked looks on student’s faces when they heard about stories that affected everyday people on class, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, race and gender. As a senior STAR camp leader, I saw how much if affected the students, knowing this is what faces them on a regular basis. As students realized what the real world is like, they seemed discouraged, but they grasped the history of discrimination and what still lives in this world today. As camp ended, each student took a piece of STAR’s message with them back to their school and homes. STAR camp is an amazing program filled with the truth. Most of the time there is a negative portrayal about everything that is going on in the world and we don’t empha- size the positive. Watching and participating in demonstrations during the camp about how people are always exposed to negative news, and how we start to think negatively, it proves to me just how far this world is from being even close to perfect. At the training session in May, that the seniors attended, I never thought I would change in a matter of three days. My mind was filled with images of hurt and sadness that others feel everyday. I had the urge to go out into the real world and share what I had learned. Ever since STAR camp, family and friends have seen differences in me that they don’t understand. I always catch phrases that may be offensive and before STAR I would never think anything of it. However, the truth is the simplest phrase such as ‘that’s gay’, which is commonly used in our society. It could potentially be hurtful to others. No one really seems to watch what they say because they simply don’t care. STAR has helped me to become a leader in a club called Target Unity at Pickering High School. This club unites the races and cultures and makes them one. Ta rget Unity also challenges me, like STAR, to research minorities that are discriminated against. This year we are focusing on the is- sues of women’s rights. STAR is a challenging, exciting, and heart- warming program that is worthwhile. It gives students another perspective and it makes them want to do something about the issues they are facing. Future students won’t walk away thinking STAR was some lame camp, but will rejoice in what they have learned. “It’s not about being colour blind when it comes to race, it’s about seeing in colour and being OK with it,” says Julie Slater, a student leader. Julie made it clear that no matter your race, white or black, you should give the same respect to everyone as you would like to me treated. It’s always about your attitude. STAR camp has taught me many valuable lessons, the most important, react to every situation with a positive mind. Samantha Chambers is a Pickering High School co-op student with the News Advertiser. STAR camp welcomes 150 participants from 30 schools By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Standing up in Camp Samac’s council hall, student Jeff Corbett proclaims his group does not like Europeans. “They turned their back on us and be- trayed us,” says the student from Uxbridge’s Joseph Gould Public School on behalf of the other members in his group, frozen in tableau around him. Like them, Jeff is in character, acting like someone from the middle-east between 1820 and 1930 during a World History Of Racism in Minutes (WHORM) activity. Around the large wooden room, other stu- dents sit under signs that say Africa, Europe, India and other areas of the globe, waiting for their turn to share the feelings of those they represent. “It’s a neat game because it gives a really great overview,” said Paul Haines, a teacher at Pickering’s Valley Farm Public School and an organizer of the Students Together Against Racism (STAR) Camp. As the game progresses, the students see the different shifts in power and the discrim- ination which has oc- curred throughout the nations over time. The activity is just one element in the Durham District School Board’s camp held this year at Oshawa’s Camp Samac from Oct. 3 to 5. This year, the STAR Camp and its activities had 150 participants from 30 schools. Running for 14 years now, its goal is to train student lead- ers in Grade 7 through 10 to work towards the protection of human rights and social harmony in schools and the community. The program is delivered with the help of 30 senior secondary school students and ad- dresses issues such as bullying, harassment, bias, prejudice, discrimination and human rights. Katie Zeppieri is one of this year’s spirit leaders. She was picked to participate in the STAR program at her school, Anderson CVI in Whitby, in Grade 9. In Grade 10, she was chosen to go to STAR camp and has returned each year since. “I think it’s really brought me out of my shell and let me know that I’m not alone,” said Ms. Zeppieri. As a member of STAR, she has been able to bring awareness to issues and set an example by being a role model at her school. Her involvement has also inspired her to bring Anderson’s Culture of Peace Commit- tee into elementary schools, teach kids about discrimination, and even create a lesson plan about the subject, which has been distributed to teachers by the school board. Sharrae Lyon, now a high school student at Pickering’s Pine Ridge Secondary School, started in the program in Grade 4 as a junior STAR and first went to its camp in Grade 8. “It was a place where everyone was just equal,” said Sharrae. Since starting high school, the STAR group she’s a member of has done lots of events sur- rounding diversity, such as celebrating differ- ent religious holidays and having an Eid din- ner. They’ve also sold cupcakes for Canada to raise money to put flags in each classroom and are planning to adopt a child through World Vision and have a Henna fundraiser. Julisa Stuart of Anderson CVI, said par- ticipating in the STAR program and camp will help her with her future career by allow- ing her to have more confidence in herself, knowing she’s been able to help other stu- dents and be a role model to others.

Samantha Chambers Co-op student Durham students fight racism By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — While Durham Region Tran- sit has been on strike for two weeks, GO Transit buses continue to roll through the region. Existing GO bus services in Durham have continued since DRT’s workers went on strike Oct. 5. Ed Shea, a representative from GO Transit, said there have been slight variations in GO’s service so customers can continue to use the GO buses. “Our first thing we look after are our own customers,” he said. There are seven temporary bus stop loca- tions across south Durham Region. Stops have been moved at the Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering GO stations, the Oshawa downtown bus terminal, the terminal on Harwood Avenue in Ajax, and at Durham College. “A t all of our stops in Durham Region, including (the University of Ontario Institute of Technology), we are providing stops on the street instead of going into the terminal,” Mr. Shea said. According to Mr. Shea, these locations have been moved so the GO buses do not have to cross any picket lines during their runs. Mr. Shea said the delays caused by en- countering picket lines could be lengthy. “We don’t want picket line confronta- tions,” he said. “What we are trying to do is maintain service to our own users.” He admitted that the change in stop loca- tions can cause some passengers some in- convenience because they may have to walk a short distance or across a street. “That minimal delay of a few minutes is better than a delay of a half an hour or 45 minutes,” Mr. Shea said. GO buses work around Durham Region transit strike For more on this story Potential politicians attend Ajax High School Community Council session By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer AJAX — Concerns over high school transportation costs drove some parents to a trustee candidates’ meeting Wednesday night. Among those attending, par- ent Richard Baumgartner asked candidates why there is such a difference between the cost of public transportation for Dur- ham Catholic and public board students. He said by the time his three kids graduate Ajax High School, he’ll have spent between $8,000 and $9,000 for them to get there. “There should be something the transit system and school board should do to make it more affordable,” said Trustee Marilyn Crawford, a candidate for the board’s wards one and two. Incumbent Lisa Hill and new- comer Gregory Ansley were also there and are both running for wards three and four. Yvonne Forbes, a ward one and two can- didate, was absent. Trustee Crawford said the Durham Catholic District School Board provides money for pub- lic transportation while Durham District School Board does not. Mr. Ansley said his school, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), charges all of its students $100 extra on their annual tuition for a uni- versal (U) transit pass. He would like something similar for the public school board. Trustee Hill said the board’s transportation department is looking for a better solution. “The UOIT partnership, that has been discussed as a possi- bility before, as gee, why don’t we look at something like this,” said Trustee Hill. “I would be glad if you could look into this,” said Nicola Ar- thur, whose daughter also at- tends Ajax High School. Ms. Arthur asked what parents can do to help get the U-pass concept implemented in the public board. “A parent has a much more powerful voice than they real- ize,” said Trustee Crawford. She said they can contact their re- gional councillors and write let- ters as well. Trustee Hill said they can also attend the public board’s standing committee meetings and participate in its question session, in addition to making phone calls and e-mails. For parent Lynn McGurk, the transmission of head lice in schools is a concern. Ms. McGurk has three daugh- ters who were all infested at the same time and after she spent 16 hours treating and remov- ing the nits and lice, one of her girls returned home from school infested again the next day. She said the board’s policy allows kids back in school with nits and asked for the candidates’ opin- ions on the situation. “I believe if there’s a possi- bility eggs are still within the nits, they should not be allowed back at the school,” said Trustee Crawford. “I don’t really have answers for you, but it’s definitely some- thing to look into,” said Trustee Hill. When asked what’s the biggest challenge for the school board, all the candidates mentioned school accommodations in their answers. Trustee Hill said the cap on primary class size means even bigger schools will need to be built, increasing the need for funding. www.sklargallery.com Exceptional Warranty Superior Construction Fast Delivery life • style • solutions OSHAWA 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 *Credit equal to the value of the taxes, applies to Sklar and Palliser upholstery and leather Products.

C ARP SELECTS INVESTMENT PLANNING COUNSEL AS THE FINANCIAL ADVISORY FIRM OF CHOICE FOR ITS MEMBERS CARP Recognizes the Need for Advice After exhaustive due diligence, CARP (CARP is Canada's Association for the Fifty-Plus) has announced that Investment Planning Counsel (IPC) has been selected over 25 other national advisory firms as its recommended wealth management company. CARP chooses Investment Planning Counsel Over a year ago, CARP set out to identify a national financial advisory company that was much like itself – national in stature, community based and an advocate for the needs of its members. CARP chose IPC for its demonstrated expertise and objectivity in providing retirees and pre-retirees with the prudent financial leadership they need. IPC has a base of competent advisors, not a sales force. Lillian Morgenthau, founder and president of CARP said: “Our mandate is to enhance the rights and the quality of life of mature Canadians, and we believe that Investment Planning Counsel’s corporate philosophy of helping Canadians live their dream, plus their solid financial planning expertise, makes them a great fit for our members. We look forward to growing our relationship with IPC over the next decade and beyond.” Get to know your CARP Certified advisors:The Matheis Team Our role in financial planning goes beyond merely analyzing your existing assets and determining how much must be saved to reach a particular goal. A proper financial plan should also assist you in developing realistic objectives and lifestyles and to help ensure that you are aware of the decisions and adjustments that may have to be made along the way. In other words, financial planning is a process not a one-time event. Furthermore, financial planning is not just about retirement and RRSPs but more importantly, simple, efficient organization of your financial affairs. We understand that the planning process differs for each person or business and we can help with all the challenges, providing personal solutions tailored to your needs and goals. 905.837.2600 Web:www.thematheisteam.ca 1101 Kingston Road, Suite 150, Pickering, Ontario, L1V 1B5 durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 20, 2006 Jennifer Roberts photo I’m four AJAX — Four-year-old Malik Pink shares his age with Cougar, the mascot, during last weekend’s Notre Dame/News Advertis- er Basketball Classic. The hometown Cougars won the tourney. Billboard OCTOBER 20, 2006 By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer AJAX — Work is well under way to remedy issues that contributed to the flooding in August 2005. The Aug. 19 storm caused flood- ing and significant property loss to more than 200 homes in Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Pickering. The more than 40 millimeters of rain that fell during a 24-hour period put severe stress on the area’s stormwater management systems. Immediately following the storm event, the Region ini- tiated an investigation into the flooding. Funds were allotted in the 2006 budget to finding a solution to the problems that caused the flood- ing. According to Cliff Curtis, com- missioner of works, the works de- partment has worked diligently to resolve any issues. “This is hopefully the resolve to the problems in south Ajax,” Ward 1 and 2 regional councillor Scott Crawford said. The works department has completed dye testing of storm sewers to look for cross connec- tions and smoke testing of the sanitary sewer collection system. Continuous monitoring of flows in selected sanitary sewers is being undertaken and the find- ings showed some areas where there were cross connections be- tween the storm and sanitary sew- ers. Also, drainage on the roads is being monitored. MacViro Consultants Inc. was retained in June 2006 to complete the design of the stormwater box culvert improvements. Committee approved putting to tender the contract to im- prove the inlet of the culvert at the Ajax water supply plant. The total financing for the Lake Drive- way storm water box culvert is $130,000. The works committee is aim- ing for a winter construction and Coun. Crawford urged for it to be complete before the winter thaw.Lease and finance offers are from Honda Canada Finance Inc., on approved credit.

With Prime Minister Stephen Harper in attendance and an array of talent performing on stage, the Dream Gala was a hit with the more than 600 peo- ple gathered at the Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility to support the soon-to-be-built centre. After more than five years of plan- ning and fundraising, construction will soon begin on the $16-million Abilities Centre -- a 72,000 square-foot addition to the existing Iroquois Park Complex in Whitby that will be a barrier-free recreation, athletic and performing arts facility. “Tonight is a night to celebrate some great local heros and a great institution that will soon open,” Mr. Harper said in his speech. “The Abilities Centre is a great ex- ample of a community-based, not-for- profit, charitable organization that has strong support at the grassroots level. And we all know that the centre itself will bring great value to the commu- nity. It will be a hub for those who give of themselves and for those in need.” Michelle Wilder is one of those most looking forward to the centre’s open- ing. As a volunteer, the 21-year-old with special needs greeted guests at the door and got caught up in the excite- ment of the night. But when asked what she was ex- cited about the most, Ms. Wilder said it was the facility itself. “It will be a great opportunity to go out, do things, meet some people and get involved in the community,” she said. Michelle’s mother, Leann Wilder, says that currently young people with disabilities have no place to go to so- cialize. “There’s not a lot of centres in the area that really provide that type of support and that opportunity for them to network and meet other friends, so it’s really exciting,” she said. That’s just the kind of excitement that Christine Elliott, Whitby-Ajax MPP and member of the board of direc- tors for the Abilities Centre, hopes will catch on and spread to other areas of the country where facilities like the Abilities Centre are also needed. “The Abilities Centre is going to mean so much to so many people, not just here in Durham Region but we hope it will also become a national and international centre of excellence in modelling inclusionary practices,” she said. “We have a unique opportuni- ty here to become a world leader in doing that and also to become a won- derful place -- a home -- for so many people with special needs.” Profits from the gala and the accom- panying silent auction will go to sup- port the centre, which is being funded by all levels of government, as well as by community and private donations. To date, $8 million has been pledged, representing approximately 50 per cent of the total cost of the building. Fund- raising for the remaining cost contin- ues. Ta nya Fellows, a 25-year-old volun- teer, says that everyone in the com- munity will benefit from the centre because it will allow people with dis- abilities and those without to enjoy the same facility. “Inclusiveness is so important,” she said. “It has always been an issue and to see this facility actually happen is very exciting. It will be good for the whole community.” Dick Shinn Joe Niro Greg Crump John Wakaluk Denis Keane Nicole Landry 140 Bond St. W., Oshawa • 1-877-725-1777 +*Plus taxes, lic., ins., admin. • Manufacturer’s Warranty • 30 Day/2,500km.

That is, once one knows what it means. The City of Pickering wants its residents to be leaders when it comes to sustainability. To achieve this it has started a new ini- tiative called Sustainable Pickering to develop a new way of balancing needs in the community. One of the definitions it uses for sustainability is, “meeting the needs of the present generation without com- promising the ability of fu- ture generations to meet their needs,” as taken from a 1987 United Nations re- port. Durham Sustain Ability (DSA) is helping the City w ith the initiative. DSA, formerly the Durham Con- servation Centre, was a pioneer in bringing curb- side recycling to Durham Region. Now it’s taken on the role of facilitating com- munity-based sustainable action. Angela Wheeler and Jack McGinnis of DSA recently shared ideas on what people can do to help make a difference. They try to think about it in terms of the three lenses – eco- nomic, social and envi- ronmental – of Sustainable Pickering. Ms. Wheeler said when one finds an action that touches on all three lenses it is ideal, such as buying local produce, which cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions because it isn’t shipped (environmental), supports local farmers (economic), and is health- ier (social). The two have some sug- gestions for ways people can ease into sustainabil- ity by doing just one thing. “It brings a positive feel- ing usually,” Mr. McGin- nis said of taking the first step. An action such as using a canvas bag for shopping can help influence those watching as well. “I find something like that, that’s visual, has extra input,” he said. Ms. Wheeler has the fol- lowing suggestions for a beginner. “Use their green bins, use compact fluorescent light bulbs, and I would say car pooling, or some- thing like that” she said. Once people start think- ing about sustainability, she said, they are usually more willing to try some- thing else new. “We’re seeing that with the green bin. People are primed to do another change because they’re thinking new things,” Ms. Wheeler said. Many tips involve cut- ting down on electricity use and fuel consumption, which benefits the envi- ronment by cutting green- house gas emissions. For some people the idea of taking steps toward sustainability to help the environment isn’t enough of an incentive for them to change their behaviour. Ms. Wheeler and Mr. Mc- Ginnis have a message for them. “I’d say think about your children and their chil- dren. Maybe we can’t make the case that this is a life or death issue now, but there is increasing evidence it is for the future,” he said. Ms. Wheeler doesn’t see why people can’t make the small changes. “It’s a small effort that doesn’t take a lot of time, but it has a big impact so why would they not do it?” she said. For those who need some extra motivation, the two point out there are numerous financial incen- tives, for example driving a more fuel efficient vehicle means less consumption of fuel and therefore less money spent on fuel, to takes steps toward sustain- ability. “If they don’t have kids they may need to know what’s in it for them. They can save money and use it to bring themselves joy,” Ms. Wheeler said. George Armstrong, Ve- ridian’s manager of regula- tory affairs, said electricity customers are starting to get that message and are turning to compact fluo- rescent light bulbs and En- ergyStar appliances. “There’s a growing un- derstanding that while you are paying more up front, over time you will save money,” he said. “It’s good for the household bottom line and good for the envi- ronment.” Ve r idian, which dis- tributes electricity to Pickering, Ajax, and other parts of Durham and On- tario, has several programs to help people cut their energy use. Currently, pa- trons of the Ajax Public Library can borrow a watt reader, which they plug into an outlet and then plug an appliance into the reader to find out how much electricity it uses. As well, it has a limited time ‘Tune Up and Save’ program for Veridian cus- tomers with an electric water heater. Veridian will insulate the hot water pipes, install an insula- tion blanket on the tank, replace old inefficient shower heads and kitchen faucet aerators for free, as well as install two free en- ergy saving compact fluo- rescent light bulbs. Ve r idian is working with the City of Pickering on its Sustainable Pickering ini- tiative. As chairman of Sustain- able Pickering, Ward 1 Re- gional Councillor Maurice Brenner is trying to walk the talk. In his own life he has begun making more sustainable choices. He said when he moved into urban Pickering a few years ago he purchased EnergyStar appliances for his home, a high efficiency water tank and furnace, and he keeps his A/C at a higher temperature during peak periods. He also waters his grass for shorter periods of time, tries to use the microwave instead of the stove when he can, and makes sure the dishwasher is full before turning it on. He’s noticed a substan- tial savings on his energy bill. Coun. Brenner does ac- knowledge there are still areas in his life where he can improve, for example he is looking at getting a more fuel efficient vehicle when the lease is up on his Jeep.

North of 49 takes the stage at the Ajax bar and restaurant at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow, and band leader Dan McVeigh says patrons are in for something a little different. “We’re a high-energy country/ rock band,” he says in an interview. “They’re going to hear a lot of up- tempo, dancing music, three-part harmonies, and the unique sound of Richard Mattson playing guitar and saxophone... I think it’s a re- ally unique sound for a country band. We hope to get some people on the dance floor.” McVe igh grew up in Renfrew, and the Brampton resident has lived in the Toronto area for al- most 30 years. Around a year ago, he released his second solo album, ‘Drove’, and the third single from the album, ‘A Little Too Lonely’, is currently playing on Canadian country music radio stations and sits at No. 25 on The Country Edge online music chart (www. cancountry.com). The first single, ‘You Are All I Dream Of’, topped the chart. McVe igh has some impressive credentials. He has been a mem- ber of the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) since 1994, and as a co-ordinator runs the NSAI workshop in Toron- to. He’s a three-time CMT/NSAI songwriting contest winner and a five-time winner of the Billboard songwriting contest. His country/rock sound was forged as a result of his listening experiences. “My sound has been developed over the years, I guess from being heavily influenced from my classic rock days, listening to the Eagles and Steve Miller and those guys...” McVe igh says. “When pop music sort of turned in the early 1990s to more of the Hip Hop, Rap and Alternative Rock sound, I found myself listening to the country sta- tions.... This is my new home and it really influenced my songwrit- ing.” He maintains that “today’s coun- try is not unlike classic 1970s rock in a lot of ways.” North of 49 is made up of McVeigh, Mattson, Paul Hart on bass guitar and Jim Bennett on drums. “The band mostly plays cover tunes, but we do throw in one of my originals per set to try to mix it up,” McVe igh says, noting the covers are by artists such as Brooks and Dunn and Keith Urban. “Mostly it’s country, but we throw in some classic rock as well, The Doobie Brothers and the Eagles.” Formed a few years ago, the band originally was intended for special showcase events, since McVeigh plays solo shows as well, often with pre-recorded backing tracks. Now the focus is on getting audiences more acquainted with the members, who are all experi- enced musicians and songwriters. North of 49 is playing a lot of new venues lately, and McVeigh says so far the response has been encour- aging. “We’re playing in bars that are always asking us back,” he says. “We’re excited about the new plac- es where we’re playing; it’s a lot of fun.” For more information on the band and McVeigh, visit his web- site, www.danmcveigh.com.

Pianist Irwin Smith featured in church’s Grand Event Oct. 28 Port Perry show features mix of sacred and secular music DURHAM — Get ready for The Grand Event. The annual night of entertain- ment at Port Perry United Church will take place Oct. 28 this year. On the program are selections from the choir and special guest musicians, said Mary Holt, orga- nizer. The event will also feature the church’s new organist and choir director, Joan Bretney, who will direct the choir and play, Holt said. There will be a good mix of sa- cred and secular music, including gospel, jazz and popular music, she said. Special guest will be Irwin Smith, who will sing and play the piano. “He is a crowd pleaser. He’s a one-man show,” she said. “I call him a musical stylist.” Two of Port Perry’s young, ris- ing stars, Kevin Drennan and Kay- ley Patterson, will also play the grand piano, for which the event is named, Holt said. “They are very talented, promis- ing young musicians, homegrown in Port Perry,” she said. The choir will perform, too. “People still like to hear the full, big sound of the choir,” Holt said. “We are a full choir and we’re one of the best in the community. People seem to enjoy the choir. We do about five numbers.” The concert, which raises money for the church’s ongo- ing work, starts at 7:30 p.m. at the church, Simcoe and Queen streets. Tickets are $10 per person or $25 for a family and are available at the church office, 905-985-2801 or at the door. durhamregion.comP PAGE 28 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 20, 2006 SPORTS sportsdurhamregion.com THIS WEEKEND The Pickering Panthers host the North York Rangers at the Pickering Recreation Complex tonight (Friday) at 7:30 p.m. Brothers set torrid pace at 13th Toronto Marathon Leducs hold down third and fourth spots at annual race By Al Rivett Sports Editor AJAX — Two Ajax brothers were hoping to finish 1-2 at the 13th annual Toronto Marathon on Sunday. To that end, Paul Leduc, 34, and brother Matthew, 25, set a quick pace after emerging out of the 1,118 runners at the starting line to set the pace, leading the pack at the 30-kilometre mark of the 42.2-kilometre (26 miles) marathon. But, at the finish line, Mat- thew captured third spot in a sparkling time of 2:35:53, which was tops in his men’s 25-29 age group. Meanwhile, Paul finished in fourth place, just minutes be- hind Matthew in 2:37.26. He fin- ished second in the men’s 30-35 age division. “We did go into it competing for the top spot,” says Paul. “Our strategy was to go out early and push the pace. The guy running with us (Joseph Nderitu, the sec- ond-place finisher) was Kenyan and, not to be stereotypical, but we definitely thought he was bid- ing his time, which he was. One other guy (race winner Anthony Skuce of Vancouver) went by us late in the race. “We definitely deserved to be where we were. But, with a mara- thon, you never know how it will unfold.” The race, says Paul, represent- ed his best time in his marathon career. For Matthew, it was his first- ever marathon after running a series of half-marathons in the past. But, most of all, it was a special moment for the brothers who ran their first-ever marathon togeth- er and, for most of the gruelling course, ran side by side. “We’ve been training together every day,” says Paul. “We’re 10 years apart in age and me being the big brother it was a special moment. He has a bright future ahead of him, so it was a lot of fun. I hope we can do it several more times before I can’t do it anymore.” Paul says he was well-satisfied with the Toronto course, which was mainly rolling hills with a fair amount of downhill running in the second half of the race. “You pay for (downhill run- ning) because your quads (leg muscles) are done by the end of the race,” he says. The lead-up to the Toronto Marathon was spent training most days, side by side, running along the Ajax waterfront. Paul says he was logging 130 kilome- tres a week in training, while Matthew was training upwards of 170 kilometres per week. “It definitely showed in the re- sults,” says Paul. Although Paul and Matthew surpassed the qualifying stan- dards needed to compete in the 2007 Boston Marathon next April, Paul says he’ll likely have to take a pass: He and his wife are expecting twins. “The due date is a couple of days before the race,” he says. A large number of Ajax and Pickering athletes also competed at the Toronto Marathon. Other competitors were: • Daniel Romaniuk, Pickering, 22nd overall, 2:54.24, fifth in men’s 40-44 age group; • James Meloche, Pickering, 42nd overall, 3:00:11, 10th in men’s 35- 39 age group; • Daniel MacKinnon, Pickering, 111th overall, 3:16.38, 24th in men’s 40-44 age group; • Geoffrey Singer, Ajax, 139th overall, 3:19.50, 14th in men’s 50-54 age group; • Martyn Oram, Ajax, 174th over- all, 3:23.18, 37th in men’s 40-44 age group; • Theresa Hales, Pickering, 249th overall, 3:30.41, sixth in women’s 40-44 age group; • Daniel Cross, Ajax, 421st over- all, 3:44.13, 31st in men’s 50-54 age group; • Jayne Elliott, Pickering, 480th overall, 3:47.40, 13th in women’s 40-44 age group; • Steven Hurley, Ajax, 509th over- all, 3:49.36, 39th in men’s 50-54 age group; • Nancy Davidson, Ajax, 510th overall, 3:49.37, 16th in women’s 40-44 age group; • Jason Hagerman, Pickering, 618th overall, 3:55.32, 98th in men’s 35-39 age group; • Alfredo Suarez, Pickering, 675th overall, 3:58.40, 108th in men’s 40-44 age group; • Susan Ross, Ajax, 689th overall, 3:59.37, 15th in women’s 45-49 age group; • Michael Walker, Ajax, 810th, 4:08.56, 69th in men’s 50-54 age group.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, October 20, 2006 PAGE 29 A/Pdurhamregion.com Dolphins roll past Clarington Ti-Cats in minor football contests DURHAM — The Ajax- Pickering Dolphins atom football team remains per- fect at 8-0 after unloading on the Clarington Ti-Cats in Bowmanville last Sunday. The Dolphins atoms tamed the Ti-Cats 56-8 in Central Ontario Minor Foot- ball League play. They were joined in victory by the pee- wees (7-1) who scored a 52-0 shutout over Clarington and the tykes (6-2) who routed the Ti-Cats 57-0. All three teams are back in action against the Scarbor- ough Thunder at Kinsmen Park in Pickering on Sunday. Games times are 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. In the atom contest, quar- terback Damien White led the team on a six-play drive, capped by a 10-yard run off tackle by running back Den- ver Wright. Kicker LT Eskins was good on the point-after attempt. Wright scored his second major of the game after an interception by Shaq Lawrence and large gains by fullback AJ Thomas and slotback Leigh Philip. Ajax- Pickering led 22-8 at half time. The Dolphins added 34 second-half points to lock up the victory. Offensive players of the game were wide receiver Harrison Williams with his first touchdown and of- fensive lineman Hasson Abbas and tight end Taylor Konkle. Defensive players of the game were lineman Rae Grant with eight tackles and three sacks, linebacker Eskins with six tackles and a sack, and defensive back Keith Cyrus with four tackles and two sacks. Special teams players of the game were Wright with two kick returns for majors of 75 and 65 yards apiece, and Eskins with four completed conversions. Meanwhile, in the peewee game, the Dolphins stormed back after a tough loss against Burlington the previ- ous week to rout Clarington. The Dolphin offence over- powered the Ti-Cats’ de- fence with a balanced attack through the air and on the ground. The Dolphin offence held on to the ball so long, their defensive counterparts got restless waiting on the sidelines. Kurlan Cadet, Ka- reem Tucker, George Tour- loukis, Shane Lock, Dexter Damboise, Hayden Allen and Connor Paterson scored touchdowns, with Damboise also kicking the extra points. The Dolphin defence held the Ti-Cats to no first downs with numerous turnovers and sacks, turning in one of their finest games this sea- son. On defense were Dam- boise, Calvin D’Costa, Owen Eccleston, Devin Elms, Greg Farrell, Dustin Kaupp, Tristan Lagda, Shane Lock, Brandon Misseri, Garret Mole, Alex O’Donnell, Andre Powell, Jelane Roberts, Rob- ert Sinclair, Spenser Stewart and Ian Tobias. In the tyke contest, quar- terback Rion Johnson hooked up with Jake Van Pelt on a pass play for the major. Wide receiver Barrington Smith scored three touch- downs on his favourite play, the reverse. Other touch- downs were scored by Aus- tin Benn, Morgan Humes and Austin Reed for another touchdown following a 35- yard pass-and-run play. Kickers Chris Tzortzouklis and Stuart Mackenzie com- bined for three converts.
