Hundreds of charges laid after major drug bust Police say dope flowed into Canada on commercial flights By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A little bit of luck and months of dogged police work have led to the arrest of 12 people -- including a member of the Hells Angels and an airport baggage handler -- in the single largest co- caine seizure in the history of the Durham police force. Six Durham residents were among those busted when police executed search warrants here and throughout the GTA Tuesday morning, breaking what’s being described as an interna- tional cocaine smuggling operation that saw drugs brought to Canada on commercial flights, while money flowed back to the Caribbean by conspirators pos- ing as tourists. “We’ve dismantled a significant cocaine pipeline in the GTA,” Dur- ham Chief Mike Ewles told report- ers gathered at a Whitby police sta- tion Wednesday morning. “It has put a big dent in the mar- ket, we believe.” The investigation, dubbed Proj- ect Merlin, resulted in the seizure of 26 kg of powder cocaine val- ued at more than $3 million, 12 guns along with ammunition and nearly $45,000 in cash. More than 200 drug, conspiracy and weap- ons charges have been laid so far against 12 people and cops have seized eight private vehicles they’ve labelled as proceeds of crime. Police allege those arrested were part of a ring that smuggled dope from the Dominican Republic into Canada on commercial passenger jets, with employees at airports in both countries playing crucial roles. The cocaine was concealed in jet cargo holds, police said. “Airport employees on both ends were involved in this operation,” said Inspector Tom Cameron of Durham’s Criminal Intelligence Branch. “The cocaine was destined for distribution in Durham Region and other municipalities in the GTA.” The well-established ring made at- tempts to import coke at least once a week, Insp. Cameron said. He wouldn’t discuss the methods used by police during the lengthy inves- tigation, including whether or not drug officers worked undercover to infiltrate the operation. What was revealed was that the ring appears to have been in operation for at least a year prior to the beginning of the inves- tigation and that it saw large quantities of coke smuggled onto and off planes coming to Toronto from the Dominican Republic. Money flowed back to the Dominican by way of couriers posing as tourists, who flew to the Caribbean with cash concealed on their bodies. Project Merlin began last Octo- ber after what at first seemed to be a simple traffic accident. A motor- ist driving along the South Service Road near Hwy. 401 in Bowman- ville apparently was distracted by police working in a field near the Darlington nuclear plant -- human remains had been discovered in the area and a tent had been erected over the site -- when his car went out of control and crashed.

Jim Witty, a former Ajax Mayor and Regional Chair- man, is co-chairing the cam- paign this year with Doug McKay, the owner of three McDonald’s Restaurants in town. “Doug and I are excited” about the campaign, Mr. Witty said to Ajax council on Monday, adding the cam- paign target this year is $1.9 million. Last year, $1.81 mil- lion was raised. “We know in the current economic situation, this will be a challenge,” Mr. Witty stated, adding, “We know it will be successful.” The United Way provides funding to 29 programs, he noted. The campaign had its kickoff on Wednesday, Sept. 12 with the third annual Day of Caring and a breakfast at the Lakeridge Links Golf Club attended by about 150 people. The Day of Caring is when volunteers undertake projects, such as painting or repair work, for different charities. There were “20,000 clients directly benefitted from the services by our local United Way,” Mr. Witty said. “The United Way does make a dif- ference. One in three fami- lies use our services. Money raised in the community stays in our community.” “A great foundation has been built over the years,” he said, noting the efforts of previous campaign chair- men, including Don Terry, Al Froggatt, John Wiersma and Pat O’Brien. “The United Way adds great value to the commu- nity,” Mr. Witty added. “To maintain our chari- table status, we can spend no more than 20 per cent on administration. We spend 82 per cent on the 29 programs we support,” he said. “Agencies go through a rigorous (screening) process. They must meet standards to be eligible” for funding, Mr. Witty noted. He requested the Town maintain its funding sup- port, which last year was $3.19 per household. Given the growth in the communi- ty, the Town will be donating just over $100,000 in 2008. sheridanchev.com • sheridanchev.com • sheridanchev.com SHERIDAN CHEVROLET CADILLAC LTD. 1800 KINGSTON RD PICKERING www.sheridanchev.comSheridanSheridan 905-683-9333 20082008 CADILLAC CTSCADILLAC CTS 2008 CADILLAC CTS NOW IN OUR SHOWROOM!

DURHAM — A long-time Oshawa trustee stood alone in voting against the Cath- olic school board buying blackberries for its trustees. Trustee Joe Corey listed a board deficit and lack of necessity as some of his rea- sons for voting against the Durham Catholic District School Board’s Sept. 10 de- cision to buy Blackberries – electronic devices with cellphone and internet ca- pabilities. “I’ve been a trustee for 35 years... and never once was there an emergency where they had to call me,” said Trustee Corey. He said he was “dead set against” spending that kind of money on blackberries. Although Trustee Corey initially recommended send- ing the Blackberry proposal to the rules and regulation committee for investigation, his motion was defeated. All but Trustee Corey voted for Oshawa Trustee Fred Jones’s motion to acquire blackber- ries immediately for board members who want them. Trustee Jones said they have discussed this issue around in-camera and other meetings and there seems to be a consensus to get Blackberries right away. He also said every board has a budget for governance and the cost associated with Blackberry acquisition is very minimal. Superintendent Mitch LePage said the Blackber- ries are $1,800 initially with an annual fee of $470 per month or $5,600 annually, which doesn’t include long distance.

The event tipped police to a drug importing operation that soon became international in scope. Over the next 11 months Durham investigators, working closely with other agencies such as the Canadian Border Services and Peel Police, pieced together the smuggling operation and the players involved. The cocaine, weapons and cash were seized during a series of raids early Tuesday in Ajax, Bowmanville, Oshawa, Whitby, Toronto, Bar- rie, Brampton and Markham. Among the guns seized were as- sault rifles and semi-automatic pistols. The guns, drugs, and stacks of Canadian and U.S. cur- rency were on display for the media at the 18 Division head- quarters in Whitby Wednesday. Among those arrested were Jeremy Wayne Brown, 30, of Margaret Street in Oshawa -- a full-patch member of the Hells Angels Oshawa chapter -- and a baggage handler at Pearson International Airport. Mr. Brown faces 47 charges, including con- spiracy to import cocaine and trafficking and numerous weap- ons offences including 10 counts of possession of a weapon ob- tained by crime. Other Durham residents ar- rested are: • Jason Ian McGee, 28, of Re- naissance Avenue, Oshawa • Shane Collins, 19, and Chad Lindsay Collins, 27, of Burcher Road, Ajax • Gary William Livingstone, 43, of Renaissance Ave., Osha- wa, and • Lindsay Ann Barras, 29, of Waywell Street, Whitby. The investigation continues and more arrests may occur, Chief Ewles said. Weight Watchers® is in your neighbourhood! Three locations to serve you.

During the past 22 years, Northern Lights Canada has emerged as one of the strongest providers of rehabilitation, employment, and corporate training services in the country. The company, established in 1985 in response to a request from the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services, was originally designed to provide local and accessible services for people with barriers to employment. Today, Northern Lights Canada maintains a complement of 160 practitioners in Ontario and is a founding member of Voc Rehab Canada, a national consortium of over 350 vocational counsellors located all across the country. Under its new banner, and through its cross-country collaboration with like-minded colleagues, NLC is properly positioned to build on its well-earned reputation for respect and excellence, and to continue its consistent responsive-ness to the changing vocational environment. In 2006, Northern Lights provided services to over 250,000 people in the following sectors: • Vocational Rehabilitation - services for people with disabilities who need help determining their functional capacities for work and securing a suitable job • Employment - services for unemployed, underemployed and displaced people, along with those who want to pursue new career fi elds • Corporate Training - services for organizations that want to recruit and retain a resilient, motivated, and committed workforce. “The Northern Lights Canada story is a true Canadian success story,” says President Val Lougheed. Wendy Legere, CEO, explains that “in our 22 years of operations, we have always ensured that, as we grow, all of our services exemplify our respect for the people we work with, our commitment to professionalism in all aspects of our business, and our adherence to ethical service delivery practices. These characteristics shine through in the way we work with people, the way we co-operate with our customers, and the way we conduct ourselves as a company.” Wendy adds that, “just like the Aurora Borealis, with its rich array of brilliant colours and movement, we are shining all across Canada now!” RETAIL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR AN AGENCY STORE IN LCBO RFP# 2007- 126 CLAREMONT An excellent business opportunity is now available to established retailers in Claremont. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is seeking a responsible, customer-fo- cused retailer to operate an LCBO Agency Store in Claremont. To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines. To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial agreements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LCBO server-training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products. Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 200 Agency stores to serve communi- ties which have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. In communities where there is currently an Agency store, as the contract nears expiry the LCBO will take into consideration the fact that new businesses in the community may have been established and will allow an opportunity for all businesses in the community to compete for the next five-year term. Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services. Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants. Interested businesses must request by FAX/Mail the application package for this com- petition before end of business day, Friday September 21, 2007 and must quote the following information: RFP# 2007- 126 Claremont Request for Application Package Manager of Purchasing, LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404 Toronto, ON, M5E 1E5 Fax: 416-864-6853 In order to be considered for this business opportunity, applicants must submit to LCBO Purchasing a completed proposal in the required format before the closing date and time, Friday October 5, 2007, 3 pm local time.

One victim was pepper- sprayed while another wrestled with an assailant for a gun dur- ing the incident, which occurred around 10:30 p.m. at a home on Noake Crescent in the Westney Road North - Magill Drive area, Durham police said. Police said the homeowner and a friend were sitting on the porch looking at laptop computers when they were ap- proached by two males, armed with pepper spray and what turned out to be a pellet gun, who ordered them inside and demanded their cellphones and other property. In a struggle that ensued one of the victims was hit with pep- per spray while the other man- aged to pry the gun away from a suspect, police said. The two suspects fled on foot. Cops converged on the area and set up a perimeter, patrol- ling it with the assistance of a canine unit. They located two suspects in a nearby field and arrested them without inci- dent.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 14, 2007 durhamregion.com Liberal swag arrives in the mail I t’s assumed that journalists like swag, free stuff, whether it’s a cup of coffee or a new television set. As you can imagine, all kinds of peo- ple approach newspapers wanting to get something in, often a product plug, and occasionally they’ll offer up stuff think- ing it increases their chances. I was once offered $1,000 to cover a story. When a senior citizen, now deceased, in my former Uxbridge beat began bringing me baked treats as thank-yous for coverage received, it got to be too much of a good thing and I had to ask her to stop. People in Goodwood were talking. Truth be told, most journalists with whom I’ve worked want no part of swag. It was inculcated to me in journalism school that accepting it is a serious no- no. So, when as a journalism student I covered election night at an NDP candi- date’s party, a candidate who just hap- pened to be East Indian, and there was a wonderful spread of what seemed to be delicious food, I didn’t take a bite. I even refused a cup of coffee. When covering the school board, as a colleague accept- ed handfuls of cookies on several occa- sions, I declined. I still feel a bit guilty about that bottle of water I accepted at a meeting. And don’t get me started on the Tilley hat. Still, when the mail arrives in the news- room, and it includes a Purolator or large package, most of us are anxious to see what it is, who sent it, and why. We once received a roast in the mail for heaven’s sake. On Tuesday, such a package arrived for me. It was from the Ontario Liberal Party and contained: a black shoulder bag one could use for enviro-shopping; a black “traveller” coffee mug; a file folder containing the Liberals’ 2007 plan; and, a cool flash drive with a biography and pictures of Dalton McGuinty, a media guide for the Ontario candidates etc. All of it has the logo, McGuinty Tour 2007- Change that’s working, while the flash drive simply reads, ‘Change that’s work- ing’. The election stuff is helpful, of course, given we’re in election mode for a month. But, to include the swag in the package was a move that won’t make me more likely to give the Liberals coverage or even vote Liberal. We expect the party platform etc., not a coffee mug. My first thought was, I can never be seen with this stuff. It would indicate a bias, and that wouldn’t be right. Secondly, what am I going to with this stuff? Do I know many, any, committed Liberals? One of the first lines in the press pack- age made me chuckle- “It’s great that you will have an opportunity to help cover the election in your community.” Yeah, it’s great all right. But, I think the sub text is, ‘Love us, please love us! Or at least, don’t hate us and continually bring up all those so-called broken promises in your coverage. Pleeeease! After all, we gave you a shopping bag and a coffee mug’. Mike Ruta’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail mruta@durhamregion. com. Mike Ruta news editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR Vandalism is a heartless act W est Durham residents need to be on guard and ready to respond to vandalism as recent inci- dents included the torching of a playground and the doors of a local school. And, police need to redouble their efforts in protecting parks and schools in west Durham. Pickering couple Dianne and Jim Greaves did just that early Tuesday morning, calling Durham Regional Police when they noticed a glow from their window. It was the playground equipment in Balsdon Park, at Liverpool Road South and Krosno Boulevard, burning and ultimately destroyed, at a loss of around $20,000. The reaction by neighbourhood children, kids whom Ms. Greaves cares for, was one of sadness. She noted they’re disappointed they cannot play at their favourite park any longer. Anyone who would target play equipment and deny kids an opportunity to have fun is truly heartless. But, then again, such destroyers of public property obviously don’t have much respect for anyone or anything if they’re set- ting fire to play equipment at 4:30 a.m. on a weekday. A day earlier, someone dragged a mattress left at the dumpster at Highbush Public School to the school’s east doors and set it alight. While fire damage was mostly lim- ited to the doors and part of the roof, smoke permeated the school. One parent noted in June, a couch, again left at the school’s dumpster, was dragged to the same set of doors and set ablaze. In the Balsdon park incident, Ms. Greaves noted as much as she loves the park, there’s no point in the City of Pickering replacing the playground set. She and her hus- band have often put out fires in trash bins there and, for two decades, she’s witnessed vandalism, drugs and drink- ing by youth. “I think it’s just throwing money into the fireplace be- cause I think it’s going to keep happening,” she said. Anyone with information on either fire is encouraged to call Detective Sergeant Adam Kelly at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2511. Anonymous tips can be made to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. A month ago, we commended police for instituting bike patrols in parks to address these issues. It remains a great idea. But, with plans to double the complement of officers on bicycles in west Durham next summer from two to four, perhaps police should consider increasing this number substantially. Sure, resources are limited, but residents feel their parks are sitting ducks for vandals who seem to have no fear of being apprehended. David Onley is an inspiration To the editor: Kudos to you at the News Advertiser and reporter Kris- ten Calis for positive and excellent front page coverage of local Pastor Sam Martin and our new Lieutenant-Gover- nor, David Onley. Congratulations and thank you Mr. Onley for overcom- ing “giants” in your life. I trust your victory will inspire others, especially our youth.

Mr. Tustin lives in Pickering and last week during one of his regu- lar walks with his dog in the area of Glenanna Road and Pickering Parkway he saw a goose favouring one leg heavily. “I didn’t think much of it,” he said. “Then this past Friday I no- ticed the same bird there and got close enough to see that twine was wrapped around its legs.” Wanting to help the injured ani- mal, Mr. Tustin called everyone he could think of, animal control, the Durham Humane Society, a local bird sanctuary and the Toronto Wildlife Centre. The Toronto Wildlife Centre is the sole resource for injured wild animals in Durham, but what Mr. Tustin didn’t realize is when peo- ple call the Wildlife hotline, calls go directly to a voicemail message. Hotline staff records the calls into a database and they are sorted in priority sequence. He was calling, but not leaving a message as he said he would have preferred to speak to someone di- rectly. Although Mr. Tustin hasn’t seen the bird since he said he still wishes it could have been helped. Not being able to do any- thing about it is frustrating, he said. “I just feel so bad this bird is hobbling around out there,” Mr. Tustin said. “All I know is there is a bird flying around with twine around its feet.” /05*$&50.0/&:."35$6450.&348)0."%&"'"45$"4)"%7"/$& 031":%":-0"/*/0/5"3*0*/5)&1&3*0%"6(645 504&15&.#&3 3FBEUIJTOPUJDFDBSFGVMMZBTJUNBZBõFDUZPVSSJHIUT5IJTOPUJDFXBTBQQSPWFECZ 5IF)POPVSBCMF.BEBN+VTUJDF"MFYBOESB)PZPGUIF0OUBSJP4VQFSJPS$PVSUPG+VTUJDF 5)&$-"44"$5*0/ 5IJT OPUJDF JT EJSFDUFE UP BMM QFSTPOT XIP SFDFJWFE B 'BTU $BTI "EWBODFPSB1BZEBZ-PBOGSPNB.POFZ.BSUTUPSFJO0OUBSJPJO UIFQFSJPE"VHVTU UP4FQUFNCFS BOESFQBJEJUCZ DIFRVFPOUIFCPSSPXFSTOFYUTDIFEVMFEQBZEBZ 5IF DMBTT BDUJPO TFFLT BNPOH PUIFS UIJOHT BO PSEFS SFRVJSJOH .POFZ.BSUBOEJUTQBSFOUDPNQBOZ %PMMBS'JOBODJBM(SPVQ *OD UPSFGVOEBMMJOUFSFTUBOEPUIFSGFFTDIBSHFEPODFSUBJO'BTU$BTI "EWBODFTBOE1BZEBZ-PBOTJO0OUBSJPSFQBJECZDIFRVFPOUIF CPSSPXFSTOFYUTDIFEVMFEQBZEBZPOUIFCBTJTUIBUTVDIGFFTBOE JOUFSFTUCSFBDITPGUIF$SJNJOBM$PEFPG$BOBEB 5IFEFGFOEBOUTIBWFCSPVHIUBDPVOUFSDMBJNJOUIFBDUJPOBHBJOTU DMBTTNFNCFSTXIPPXFNPOFZUP.POFZ.BSUXJUISFTQFDUUPBOZ USBOTBDUJPOBOETFFLBKVEHNFOUBOEPSTFUPõBHBJOTUUIFN 5)&$&35*'*$"5*0/03%&3 0O+BOVBSZ .BEBN+VTUJDF)PZDFSUJmFEUIFBDUJPO4NJUI W/BUJPOBM.POFZ.BSU$PNQBOZ $PVSU'JMF/P$7 BTB DMBTTBDUJPOBOEBQQPJOUFE.BSHBSFU4NJUIBOE3POBME"ESJFO0SJFU BTSFQSFTFOUBUJWFQMBJOUJõTPGUIFDMBTTEFmOFEBT "MMQFSTPOTXIP JOUIFQFSJPE"VHVTU UP4FQUFNCFS SFDFJWFE B 'BTU $BTI "EWBODF BOEPS 1BZEBZ -PBO GSPN .POFZ.BSUJO0OUBSJPUIBUXBTSFQBJECZDIFRVFPOUIFCPSSPXFST OFYUTDIFEVMFEQBZEBZ *GZPVBSFBNFNCFSPGUIFDMBTT ZPVSSJHIUTXJMMCFBõFDUFE &BDINFNCFSPGUIFDMBTTXIPEPFTOPUPQUPVUPGUIFDMBTTBDUJPO XJMMCFCPVOECZUIFUFSNTPGBOZKVEHNFOUPSTFUUMFNFOUJOUIF DMBTTBDUJPO JODMVEJOHBOZKVEHNFOUPSTFUUMFNFOUXJUISFTQFDU UPUIFDPVOUFSDMBJN*GUIFDMBTTBDUJPOJTTVDDFTTGVM IFPSTIFNBZ CF FOUJUMFE UP TIBSF JO UIF BNPVOU PG BOZ BXBSE PS TFUUMFNFOU SFDPWFSFE)PXFWFS BDMBTTNFNCFSNBZOPUSFDFJWFBOZNPOFZJG UIFBNPVOUIFPSTIFJTFOUJUMFEUPSFDPWFSJTMFTTUIBOUIFBNPVOU PGNPOFZUIBUIFPSTIFPXFTUIFEFGFOEBOUTBTBSFTVMUPGUIF DPVOUFSDMBJN 5IJTOPUJDFJTBTVNNBSZPGUIFUFSNTPGUIFDFSUJmDBUJPOPSEFS BOEUIFGVSUIFS"QSJM DPVSUPSEFS*GUIFSFJTBOZDPOnJDU CFUXFFOUIFQSPWJTJPOTPGUIJTOPUJDFBOEUIFUFSNTPGUIPTFPSEFST UIPTFPSEFSTTIBMMQSFWBJM -&("-'&&4"/%%*4#634&.&/54 $PVOTFMIBWFFOUFSFEJOUPBOBHSFFNFOUXJUIUIFSFQSFTFOUBUJWF QMBJOUJõT XJUI SFTQFDU UP MFHBM GFFT BOE EJTCVSTFNFOUT 5IF BHSFFNFOUQSPWJEFTUIBUDPVOTFMXJMMOPUSFDFJWFQBZNFOUGPSUIFJS XPSLVOMFTTUIFDMBTTBDUJPOJTTVDDFTTGVMPSDPTUTBSFSFDFJWFEGSPN UIFEFGFOEBOUT5IFBHSFFNFOU XIJDINVTUCFBQQSPWFECZUIF DPVSUUPCFFõFDUJWF QSPWJEFTGPSBDPOUJOHFODZGFFPGBUMFBTUPOF UIJSEPGUIFBNPVOUSFDPWFSFEJOUIFDMBTTBDUJPO 5IF QMBJOUJõT IBWF SFDFJWFE mOBODJBM TVQQPSU GSPN UIF $MBTT 1SPDFFEJOHT'VOE"TBSFTVMU JGUIFDMBTTBDUJPOJTTVDDFTTGVM UIF $MBTT1SPDFFEJOHT'VOEJTFOUJUMFEUPPGBOZNPOFUBSZBXBSE PSTFUUMFNFOUQMVTUIFBNPVOUPGBOZmOBODJBMTVQQPSUJUQBJEUP UIFQMBJOUJõT "%%*5*0/"-*/'03."5*0/ "OZ RVFTUJPOT BCPVU UIF NBUUFST JO UIJT OPUJDF TIPVME /05 CF EJSFDUFEUPUIFDPVSUCFDBVTFJUTBENJOJTUSBUJWFTUSVDUVSFJTOPU EFTJHOFEUPBEESFTTUIJTUZQFPGJORVJSZ 5IFDFSUJm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i$SBXGPSE$MBTT"DUJPO 4FSWJDFT "UUFOUJPO.POFZ.BSU$MBTT"DUJPOw CZQSFQBJENBJMPS DPVSJFS BU4VJUFo 8FCFS4U/ 8BUFSMPP 0/ /+( PSCZUPMMGSFFGBYUP0STFOEBOFNBJMUPNPOFZ NBSUDMBTTBDUJPO!DSBXDPDBXJUIZPVSOBNF BEESFTT QPTUBMDPEF UFMFQIPOFOVNCFSBOECJSUIEBUF "DMBTTNFNCFSXIPPQUTPVUPGUIFDMBTTBDUJPOXJMMOPUCFFOUJUMFE UPQBSUJDJQBUFJOUIFDMBTTBDUJPO)JTPSIFSSJHIUUPQVSTVFBDMBJNJO BTFQBSBUFQSPDFFEJOHXJMMOPUCFBõFDUFE /PDMBTTNFNCFSXJMMCFQFSNJUUFEUPPQUPVUPGUIFDMBTTBDUJPO BGUFS.BSDI BU&5 Name: Address: City: Province: Postal Code: Telephone: Date of birth: Email address: Signature: Date: 015065'03. *EPOPUXBOUUPCFJODMVEFEJOUIFDMBTTBDUJPOBHBJOTU.POFZ.BSUBOE%PMMBS'JOBODJBM*XBOUUPPQUPVU CFFYDMVEFEGSPN UIJTDMBTTBDUJPO.ZJOGPSNBUJPOJT BTGPMMPXT Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies. • A Full Range of Dental Treatments -

DURHAM — The fourth annual Gala of Hope Pink Martini dinner is coming up on Oct. 20. This highly anticipated breast cancer fundraiser started with Oshawa resident Heather Griffith, who was diagnosed with two types of breast cancer in November 2003. After undergoing three surgeries and before beginning two rounds of chemotherapy, her sister sug- gested they do something to raise money to research the disease. On Oct. 15, 2004, the first an- nual Gala of Hope dinner dance was held a Lviv Hall and raised $17,000. The next year, the Oshawa Hos- pital Foundation lent its support and the event has been growing ever since, raising $85,000 over the past three years. Tickets are $125 -- to purchase, e-mail heather@thegalaofhope. com. The Gala of Hope is also hosting the second annual Swing for a Cure golf tournament on Sept. 29 at the Newcastle Golf and Country Club. Tickets are $125 and include 18 holes of golf, a bar- becue lunch and gourmet dinner, silent auction and dancing. For tickets e-mail Mark Lathangue at mark@thegalaofhope.com. Gala of Hope is Oct. 20 Covering Durham’s education situation ccrimi@durhamregion.comREPORTER CRYSTAL CRIMI Region provided $105,000 to hostel, which is now closing By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Adelaide House isn’t re-opening, so Durham’s fi- nance and administration and health and social services com- mittees are recommending the Re- gion ask for its money back. Last May, council voted to give $105,000 to Adelaide House to help it re-open. It was one-time emergency funding, conditional on the YWCA agreeing to undergo a joint operational review. It did agree, but on Sept. 6 it was announced the closure would be permanent. The emergency hostel closed on a temporary basis on April 1. YWCA officials said in order to bring staff, salary and administra- tion up to where it needed to be, a $250,000 a year increase in its operating budget was needed. The YWCA could not afford to subsi- dize the annual pay-equity pay- ments to staff. But, now that it isn’t re-opening, a closed committee meeting was held Sept. 11 to discuss the money given to the YWCA. “What I can tell you is that a motion that was moved publicly recommends council ask for the $105,000 back,” said April Cullen, chairwoman of the Region’s health and social services committee. “And that we are making a com- mitment to get to the bottom of this pay equity thing.” The money came from the Na- tional Child Benefit Reinvestment program and, according to Coun. Cullen, it would go back there. After the provincial election, she said the Region hopes to make some headway with the issue of pay-equity requirement. If at that time the Region needs to pitch in money, that will be a separate decision, Coun. Cullen said. “I don’t want to see this turn into a blame game because that is not going to help the people who need this service,” Coun. Cullen said. “We are looking towards the winter coming and severe weather and it’s very concerning because we don’t know if we are going to be able to accommodate everyone.” Susanne Groen, Adelaide House’s finance director, said she had not received any official noti- fication from the Region about the possible request and therefore was not comfortable commenting on it. Eva Martin Blythe, the execu- tive director of the YWCA Durham, was not available for comment. HOT DOGS, HAMBURGERS, SAUSAGES! Located at 1 Rossland Rd.

Pickering Town Centre (905) 420-7600 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 14, 2007 PAGE 11 A/Pdurhamregion.com Committees want Adelaide House money back AJAX — For the next month, Joe Dickson is working for free. The Ajax Ward 2 local councillor requested he not be paid during the provincial election campaign, as he’s the Liberal Party candidate in Ajax-Pickering Riding. For the month, it works out to $2,084.34 in foregone salary and travel allow- ance. Coun. Dickson’s request runs from Sept. 10, the day the elec- tion was called, to Oct. 10, election day. Ajax councillors approved the request during a Monday meet- ing. In addition to not being paid, he’s also waiving the monthly $229 travel allowance each councillor receives. During the meeting, Coun. Dick- son declared a conflict of interest on the matter. Dickson waives council salary Residents argue p roducers should be focusing more on responsible p ackaging By Jennifer Stone jstone@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Saying the municipality would not be a willing host to an incin- erator proposed by the Re- gions of Durham and York would have “absolutely no effect whatsoever” on the process, Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson told Clarington councillors Monday. The chairman was one of a number of delegations speaking on the matter during the council meet- ing. “It would be nice if we could have a willing host, but it is not essential,” said Mr. Anderson. In fact, he said, that East Gwillimbury, the only other municipality with a potential site for the proposed incinerator be- sides Clarington, has said it won’t be a willing host is neither here nor there. The site there remains under consideration, with a decision expected later this month on preferred site. “It would be pretty easy to sit in front of all these folks ... and say, okay, I’m not going to be a willing host,” he said, referring to the audience in coun- cil chambers, several of w hom were on hand to voice their opposition to the proposed Energy From Waste plant. “Easy to say it now, but I don’t know what you’re going to say in 2011 (after the Michigan border closes to Ontario trash) because you’re not going to have an answer.” There is nothing to the suggestion made by Clar- ington Councillor Adrian Foster that the Municipal- ity is “Durham’s ultimate waste solution,” said the chairman. “We deem energy from waste as the ultimate waste solution,” he said. But, there are alterna- tives to incinerating gar- bage which should be explored, some delegates told Council. Many touted a move toward zero waste, with some form of stabi- lized landfill until waste can be eliminated. It’s not like incineration will eliminate the need for landfill, said Kerry Mey- dam. “With the incinerator ... you still have that residu- al ash, and you still need landfill,” she said. It is estimated about 30 per cent of what is sent into the incinerator would remain as bottom ash. Zero waste, which would entail extending produc- er responsibility for their spent product, isn’t terri- bly realistic, said others. “Germany put in one of the most extensive pro- ducer responsibility sys- tems ... but after the sys- tem was implemented, what they found was that they had huge and grow- ing stockpiles of materials that could not be recycled,” said David Climenhage. “I don’t think that necessar- ily a zero-waste solution is something that can hap- pen without many years and many new technolo- gies in place to achieve it.” But, there is a need to look for other solutions, said others, some of whom were clearly disheartened by Mr. Anderson’s com- ments. “I’m not sure it really makes a difference whether I’m here or not,” said Kristin Robinson. “It certainly seems like Mr. Anderson has made it clear my side won’t be heard at all.” Remember, all inserts, including those on glossy paper, can be recycled with the rest of your newspaper through your blue box Recycling program.

The first public meeting for a committee to review the 11 af- fected schools is Oct. 30, at 7 p.m., at the Catholic Education Centre, 650 Rossland Rd. W. in Oshawa. The mandate of the accommodation review is to study and make rec- ommendations on options, include consolidating and closing schools. “As you can see, we’re up and run- ning in regards to getting the ARC (Accommodation Review Commit- tee) up on track,” said Superinten- dent Chris Hurst, chairman of the ARC. Since the Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board agreed to estab- lish the review committee, letters were sent home with every student in the affected schools to notify par- ents of the ARC’s formation. At the end of June, they also re- ceived an information package to take home, and a notice of the public meeting was put in Oshawa This Week. The board secured a facilitator through C.N. Watson and Associates for $27,000 in August, chosen from seven submissions. “Other than that, it’s in the plan- ning stages and we’ll go forward and keep you updated as necessary,” said Mr. Hurst. According to a report presented in June, nine of the schools under review have lower than 100 per cent facility utilization rates and higher than average per pupil costs. Three other schools, Holy Family in Bea- verton, Holy Redeemer in Pickering, and St. John the Evangelist in Whitby, have similar challenges, but are in an isolated municipality and have other reasons for not being reviewed at this time. The combined utilization for the 11 Oshawa schools is at 74 per cent and is expected to decrease to 52 per cent by 2011/2012, with the average per pupil cost expected to jump to 160 per cent from 131 per cent.

He prides his company on fast, neat and efficient service. He also prides himself on his trouble- shooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Gordon adds: “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremly efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping.” “Homeowners should invest in their foundations,” Gordons says “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. Catch it early enough and you could possibly save yourself a fortune.” “No job is too big or small,” he says, adding he will promise you a fair and objective evaluation of the problem.

Make your dreams a reality with the help of Arnts Topsoil: The Landscape Supplier. Begin by visiting one of Arnts’ two large locations occupying 30 acres of outdoor space with everything for your landscap- ing needs. Through extensive displays, design brochures, in- stallation videos, and knowl- edgeable staff, Arnts Topsoil provides the tools to help you create an outdoor space that surpasses your expectations. There are 10 basic steps to the installation of interlocking paving stones. The first step is to draw a diagram showing measurements, grade eleva- tions, and proposed planters, steps, walls, and paving stone areas. A member of Arnts’ sales staff will help calculate the amount and cost of the materials for your project. The next step is to prepare the area by marking the digging location. Excavate the minimum required depth depending on the application. Fill the area with a well- draining base material, usually a combination of gravel and sand. Compact the gravel with a Plate Compactor in 2” deep intervals. Spread a 1” layer of coarse sand on the compacted base and level. Lay the pavers on the coarse sand, preferably staggering the joints for stability. Mark and cut any pavers that do not fit along edges or around objects. Install Brick Edge Restraints along the perimeter of the paving stones to prevent the pavers from shifting. Sweep the surface of the paving stones and compact with a Gas Plate Compactor to settle the pavers into the layer of coarse sand. Finish the project by sweeping fine sand into the joints of the pav- ers. Specially formulated sands are also available for creating a sealed joint to help prevent weeds and ants from penetrating between pavers. In addition to a wide variety of paving stones and retaining walls, Arnts Topsoil also provides the best selection of soils, mulches, aggregates, natural flagstone and rockery, decorative gravels, slabs, curbs, steps, pond supplies, and much more.

Swastikas, epithets mar Bowmanville house By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Members of the Jewish community are calling upon Durham police to label a case of vandalism -- which includ- ed scrawling swastikas and anit- Semitic epithets inside a Bowman- ville house owned by an aging Ho- locaust survivor -- a hate crime. Declaring the incident a case of mischief rather than a hate crime diminishes the impact of the event, both on the victims and the community at large, said Anita Bromberg, legal director with B’Nai Brith Canada. The organization is taking issue with the stance of Durham police, who say that while the acts car- ried out by the vandals at the King Street East home are repugnant, they do not meet the threshold for a hate crime as defined in the Criminal Code. “How can you put up an epithet like K-I-K-E -- I can’t even say the word -- and say they’re not moti- vated by hate,” Ms. Bromberg said in a telephone interview Thurs- day. “Yes, this was a very particular incident where a Jewish landlord was targeted. However, knowing this has happened has a chilling effect on the broader community - - that’s the nature of a hate crime.” The furor arose after media re- ports in which Durham police said the incident was being investigated as a case of mischief, rather than a hate crime. Police were called in after the property owner arrived Tuesday to evict a tenant who had failed to pay rent for months. The 82-year-old woman, whose husband survived the Holocaust, found the house extensively dam- aged. A swastika was drawn on the front door and on a wall in- side and the words “White Power” were scrawled along with other offensive terms aimed at Jews. Ms. Bromberg said the letters “SS” -- a symbol associated with Hitler’s Nazis -- were also found on the walls. She said the incident ought to have been labelled a hate crime from the start. Durham police Chief Mike Ewles said police are bound by the Crim- inal Code in pursuing incidents as hate crimes. The Code cites ele- ments such as advocating geno- cide or publicly inciting hatred as grounds for such a designation. Chief Ewles said that as the in- vestigation of the Bowmanville in- cident progresses, those elements may be detected. Then the police would need the consent of the pro- vincial Attorney General and the local Crown Attorney to proceed with a hate crimes charge. “Once we investigate thoroughly and investigate all parties involved ...that may give us more. Right now we haven’t crossed that threshold,” Chief Ewles said. “It does not preclude us from elevating (the charge) should con- ditions warrant.” The chief vowed the incident will be investigated thoroughly, with a consideration of the gravity of the hurt caused the victims. “It’s unacceptable to us and it’s unacceptable to the community,” he said. “The actions are absolutely rep- rehensible.” Ms. Bromberg said that sense of revulsion ought to be reflected in the way police proceed with the investigation. “We don’t question that the po- lice are taking this seriously,” she said. “The police have a crucial role in sending out a clear message that such hate crimes won’t be tolerated.” INTERNATIONALLY TRAINED IN EDUCATION OR HEALTH CARE? 120 Centre St. S., Oshawa restartdurham.ca may be for you!

It’s the only planet with a Black Dog Pub! Want to do something to stop global warming? Here are 10 simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you will save doing them. Change a light:Replace one regular bulb with a compact fl uorescent light will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Drive less: Walk, bike, carpool or take metro transit more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive. Recycle more: You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste. Check your tires: Keeping your tires infl ated properly can improve your gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Use less hot water: It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-fl ow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year and washing your clothes in cold water will save 500 pounds per year). Avoid products with over packaging:You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%. Plant a tree: A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Adjust your thermostat: Moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in winter and 2 degrees up in summer will save about 2,000 of carbon dioxide per year. Turn off electric devices: Simply turn off your television, DVD player, stereo and computer when you’re not using them will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

At the latest planning and development meet- ing, some changes were made to the POP re- view final work plan, but it carried and will be brought to Council for final approval. The work plan combines 18 initiatives into seven City-initiated amendments, such as im- plementing the Central Pickering Development Plan, sustainability initiatives, and housekeep- ing updates that will be completed over the next three years. It also includes recommendations from residents, agencies, land developers, First Nations and City staff. Forty thousand dollars is set aside for con- sulting services related to the initiative, but for Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell, that isn’t enough. “Why are we spending the same amount of money participating in Communities in Bloom (CIB) or renovations within City Hall as the most important planning document for the City’s future?” she said at the meeting. She added she doesn’t feel CIB or City Hall renovations are unimportant, but she wants to make sure the official plan is on the priority list. The amendments she introduced include a strategy to engage the community, the creation of Pickering’s Official Plan Community Advi- sory Committee, an individual review process for the Seaton neighbourhood and face-to-face consultation with the First Nations communi- ties specifically impacted. “The biggest issue I’m having is the lack of community outreach,” she said. “What type of engagement are we doing?” Neil Carroll, director of planning and de- velopment, said the City hasn’t commenced consultation yet and “we’ll be developing a consultation strategy with each of these (seven) sections.” Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles agreed with most of Coun. O’Connell’s concerns, but thought her amendment needed some fine tun- ing before they could be approved. Native activist David Grey Eagle Sanford came to remind Council members of the land rights of aboriginal peoples in the Constitution Act while referring to Seaton. Mr. Sanford has in the past referred to Seaton as First Nations land, and feels Native groups have not been properly consulted in the devel- opment plans. “They just don’t get it and that saddens me greatly,” he said in an interview. “They’re going to bring war upon themselves. Do they want a Caledonia situation coming here? Because that’s what’s next.” Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley said Coun. O’Connell was “jumping the gun” when she introduced the amendments. “We need to collaborate between Council, residents and staff to be the most proactive,” she said. “We’re not going anywhere if we’re all being confrontational.” City staff has been asked to report on Coun. O’Connell’s request. Proposed work plan 2007: Bill 51 provisions, provincial poli- cy statement, housekeeping and Duffin Heights. 2008: Environment and countryside, sustain- ability and Seaton. 2009: Downtown intensification and Places to Grow, population, employment, urban land supply and commercial and transporta- tion policies. 2010: General matters.

Pickering actor on stage for ‘A Little Quickie’ By Christy Chase cchase@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It’s 1979 and the comedy team of Steve and Allen is about to break into the big time. But, since this is a farce, noth- ing goes smoothly as you can dis- cover at Class Act Dinner Theatre in its newest production, ‘A Little Quickie’, on stage now in Whitby. “One guy (from the comedy team) has a one-night stand with the other guy’s wife,” explained co- director Glenn Ottaway, who also stars in the play by Jane Milmore and William Van Zandt. “That’s when the trouble begins.” While the play shows how the characters scheme to keep the af- fair hidden, it’s really “about the relationship between the two guys,” Ottaway said. Set in 1979, the play features costumes and attitudes from that era. And, you get to see the stand- up comics, Steve and Allen, doing their routine. “You actually see them on stage in Atlantic City and you also see them in their hotel room before and after the show,” Ottaway said. Ottaway directs the stand-up comedy routine, while Shannon Laverty directs the hotel scenes. Even funnier is the fact that there are three actual stand-up comics involved in the production but they aren’t cast to type. “Shannon is a stand-up comic. I’m a stand-up comic,” Ottaway said. “And the actress who plays Polly, Sue Morales, is a stand-up comic. None of us plays a stand- up comic in the play.” Instead, the comics are played by Daryl Marks of Pickering as Allen and Robert Calvert as Steve. Nancy Gleed plays Sara, Steve’s wife. Ottaway plays the flashy Ros- coe Clementine, Steve and Allen’s manager. Morales plays Polly, his latest girlfriend. Velika Mangova plays Sigourney, the highest-paid fashion model in New York City. ‘A Little Quickie’ runs until Oct. 27 at Class Act, 104 Consumers Dr in Whitby. For ticket informa- tion and show times, go to www. classactdinnertheatre.com or call 905-668-2229.

A reported 997 were on hand in the 1,000-seat arena for the exhibi- tion contest, which also served as a fundraiser for the Durham Dragons Special Hockey Association and the Pickering Hockey Association’s de- velopment program. According to PHA president Gary Watters, the Dragons received a cheque for $5,000 from the OHL ex- hibition match, which in addition to the gate receipts, also raised revenue from raffles and a 50/50 draw. “The Dragons were absolutely thrilled,” says Watters. Meanwhile, after expenses, in- cluding ice time costs, are deducted the PHA’s development program should realize $3,000 to $4,000 from the game, says Watters. He notes the close to 1,000 in at- tendance represented one of the largest crowds ever at the complex for a sporting event. “It was great to see,” he says. Josh Shalla and Thomas Middup scored one goal each for Brampton. Battalion goaltender Patrick Killeen made 20 saves in goal in preserving the club’s second pre-season draw. The tie puts the Battalion’s pre- season record to 1-2-1. Tyler Randell, Belleville’s first- round choice in the 2007 OHL Pri- ority Selection from the Brampton Battalion minor midgets, scored both goals for the Bulls. Goaltender Edward Pasquale faced 38 shots. Both teams dressed limited line- ups because of players attending National Hockey League camps, in- juries and illness. The Battalion had 18 in uniform; the Bulls had 15. After Belleville’s Cory Tanaka was called for roughing, the Battalion en- joyed a man advantage for the final 1:34 of the scoreless third period, peppering Pasquale without netting the winner. Cody Hodgson and de- fenceman Ken Peroff were among those who came close to capitaliz- ing. Shalla, recalled from the Bow- manville Eagles OHA Ontario Pro- vincial Junior ‘A’ squad for the game, opened the scoring from the right circle at 7:59 of the first period, con- verting a pass from behind the net from defenceman Alexander Eriks- son, who pressed the play down the right boards. Randell tied it 28 seconds later on a wrist shot. Stephen Johnston, on the end boards, fed Randell in the right circle. Middup gave the Battalion a 2-1 lead during a two-man advantage at 5:45 of the second period, tipping a point shot by Kevin Christmas be- tween Pasquale’s legs. Matt Duch- ene drew the other assist. Randell tied it again at 11:14 when he fired a snap shot from the left circle on a pass from the corner by Keaton Turkiewicz. Jason Dale, the lone Pickering resident on the Battalion roster, was a scratch for the contest. The exhibition OHL game and fundraiser was a return match from a year ago when the Battalion trav- elled to Baltimore, Ontario for an exhibition match to raise funds for the Cobourg Cougars Ontario Pro- vincial Junior ‘A’ squad, the Bulls’ tier II junior affiliate.

Sports briefs SEPTEMBER 14, 2007 [ Lacrosse ] Veltman to play one more season DURHAM — Ajax-Pickering Rock captain Jim Veltman will stay with the Toronto Rock after signing a five-year agreement with the National Lacrosse League club. The 41-year-old lacrosse legend, however, will play only one more NLL season before agreeing to spend the remaining four years behind the bench as an assistant to Toronto head coach and one-time teammate Glenn Clark. Veltman was totally at ease with his decision to play one more season, and then turn to coaching. “I’m ecstatic that Toronto has committed to me and my family for the next five years,” Jim Veltman told the Toronto Rock website. “The Rock is an organization that I started with and watched grow through the good and bad times. I’m happy to continue with that group of people and with a club that we’re all so proud of.” Veltman enters his 10th and final season on the floor as a Rock player before making the transition to coach- ing. The Rock will host a tribute to Velt- man at their last regular-season home game this coming season. Veltman has played with the Ajax-Pickering Rock for the past four seasons, helping them get within a game of winning the Presidents Cup, the national championship of senior ‘B’ lacrosse. The Rock, however, was stopped by the Sherwood Park Outlaws of Alberta in the final in Owen Sound last month by an 8-6 score. At the Presidents Cup, Veltman was named as the tournament’s most valuable player and he was also named to the first all-star team.

Playing with only three forward lines, with the decision not to add midget call-ups to the mix, the Pan- thers still managed to hold off the North York Rangers 4-2 on the road in Toronto in Pickering’s OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League season opener on Wednes- day night. The Panthers are back in ac- tion tonight (Friday, Sept. 14) in Markham against the Waxers in the first of a home-and-home series which reverts to Pickering on Sun- day for the Panthers’ home opener at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 6:30 p.m. In Wednesday’s win, the Panthers experienced a shortage of bodies due to four Panthers’ players still attending Ontario Hockey League tryouts. Undeterred, the Panthers came up with a solid overall effort to give rookie head coach Mark Joslin his first victory as a junior ‘A’ bench boss. “It was an incredible team effort on the road,” summed up Joslin. Moreover, the Panthers held tight to a 3-2 lead into the third period, although the Rangers had several quality chances to net the equalizer. Tyler Hauer’s goal at the midway point of the period gave the Panthers the two-goal cushion it would hold through to the final buzzer. Individually, Joslin praised the work of second-year Panthers’ goaltender Connor Sampson, who stopped 34 of 36 shots to earn the victory, and rookie forward Kain Al- licock, who led the Panthers on the scoresheet with a goal and an as- sist. His first-ever junior hockey tally came as a result of second effort around the net. Veterans Greg Riggs and Jamie MacQueen, both on the power play, had the other Panthers markers. De- fenceman Scott Brown added two assists. Panthers’ Postscript Allicock scored his first career junior ‘A’ goal during Wednesday’s season opener. The strapping forward, who’s 6-foot, four-inches tall and 200 pounds and played with the Toronto Red Wings midgets last season, also added an assist...Joslin was touched that after game team staff made the effort to retrieve the game puck and give it to him as a memento of his first win as a junior ‘A’ head coach. “There’s a good bunch of people there.”...FOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.comFOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.comFOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.comFOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.comFOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.comFOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, September 14, 2007 PAGE 31 A/Pdurhamregion.com For more information on Gold Book call 310-GOLD or email info@goldbook.ca The phone book has officially EVOLVED.

The CESL Cup tourna- ment featured the top U10 girls’ team from Durham Region and east Toronto. Facing the Wexford Pan- thers in the Cup final, a team the Strikers have bat- tled with all season long for first place in the CESL West Division, both teams set a high tempo in the first half with neither side scoring. In the second half, however, the Strikers upped the pace and penetrated into Wex- ford territory frequently enough to connect for two goals. The Strikers’ defence kept the Panthers off the scoreboard. Shalena Ackerman and Nikalya Rodney-Scarlett scored for Pickering, with keeper Madison Taylor earning the shutout. In the semifinal, the Strikers met the Oshawa Kicks Fury, a strong team that eliminated top-ranked Whitby Iroquois ‘A’ in first- round Cup action back in July. With confidence gained from the quarter- final win, the Strikers exe- cuted a disciplined defence and offence to eliminate the Oshawa Kicks 4-1. Heather Brownlee, Kailey Steinhau- sen, Rodney-Scarlett and Sara Scholefield scored for the Strikers. The road to the Cup in- cluded the quarter-final game against the Darling- ton Fusion. The playoff con- test started with each team tentatively testing each other’s abilities. After the first half the Strikers took control of the game en route to a 2-1 victory. Megan Doll and Scholefield scored for Pickering. Keeper Taylor kept the scoring to a mini- mum. To earn a spot in the quarter-finals, the Strikers first had to get past their sister team, the Pickering Warriors, in preliminary ac- tion. The Strikers prevailed 9-0. Rodney-Scarlett struck for three goals, Doll and Steinhausen each had two, Brownlee and Nicole Laing added one apiece. Taylor earned the shutout. The Pickering Strikers are Shalena Ackerman, Heath- er Brownlee, Megan Doll, Ashna Ganeshan, Nicole Laing, Fiona Leung, Nicole McMillen, Nikalya Rodney- Scarlett, Sara Scholefield, Kailey Steinhausen, Stepha- nie Tannis and Madison Taylor. Gene Gesualdo coaches the team, assisted by Krish Ganeshan. The team trainer is Shannon Gesualdo. Bill Scholefield is the manager. The Strikers have a few spots open on its roster for next season and are look- ing to make additions. Call Gene Gesualdo at 905-509- 1988 or via e-mail at Gene. Gesualdo@sun.com.
