Suspect wields knife
in confrontation
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — A man who attempted to
collar a robbery suspect Friday afternoon in
Pickering narrowly avoided injury when the
fleeing bandit swiped at him with a knife,
police said.
The incident prompted Durham police
to issue a warning about intervening when
crime is occurring. Spokesman Dave Selby
said people ought to call police when they
see a crime in progress but counselled
against getting directly involved.
“If you see a dangerous situation unfold-
ing keep a safe distance and contact us,” Mr.
Selby said. “There are other ways you can
help without putting your life in danger.”
The Pickering drama began at about 4
p.m. Friday when an employee at a Mac’s
Milk store on Kingston Road was assaulted
and robbed as he walked to his vehicle with
the day’s deposits, Mr. Selby said. A man in
the area gave pursuit and caught up with
the bandit, who turned and confronted the
citizen with a large knife.

Group argues plastic bottles
are bad for the environment
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The next time people reach for a
bottle of water, Anthony Boland wants them to
think twice.
Through a group at the University of Ontario
Institute of Technology (UOIT), Mr. Boland is
trying to raise awareness about the negative
impacts of bottled water, from health, environ-
ment, and social viewpoints.
“The ultimate goal is to educate people,” said
Mr. Boland, a founder and spokesman for the
group.
He’s entering his second year at the UOIT,
where he’s pursuing a bachelor of science in
physics and a bachelor of education.
The bottle campaign only recently started,
but has been recognized as a group by the UOIT
Student Association, which provides some
funding, space for events, meetings, a booth
at orientation, and the ability to put up posters
around campus.
Mr. Boland became interested in eliminat-
ing plastic bottles while attending All Saints
Catholic Secondary School in Whitby a couple
years ago. There, he was on its development
and peace committee and attended a confer-
ence which featured researchers discussing the
impact of plastic bottles.
“The majority of them end up in our land-
fills,” Mr. Boland said.
There’s also lots of pollution that goes into
fabricating them and fossil fuels to transport
them.
“So we’re hitting the environment three times
which is definitely contributing to global warm-
ing,” Mr. Boland said.
Then there are the health risks associated
with drinking bottled water. Some studies say
toxic contaminates can leach into the water
over time, Mr. Boland said.
Traces of other contaminates can be found
as well. Those things are only present in small
amounts, but consuming them every day could
cause problems. One of the chemicals that can
be found is antimony, known to cause nausea,
dizziness, and depression, he said.
“From a social justice perspective, water is
life,” Mr. Boland said.
Bottling water is privatizing something essen-
tial to life; it’s 240 to 10,000 times more expen-
sive than tap water, he said.
If preference boils down to the taste differ-
ence, he suggests using a water filter or filling up
a jug and putting it in the fridge overnight.
“Sometimes, the temperature has a lot to do
with it,” Mr. Boland said.
If transporting water is an issue, a reusable
metal water bottle has no risk associated, he
said.
Some people also think tap water is danger-
ous - the major reason for which he says is likely
the marketing of bottled water showing it as
clean and pure.
“Tap water is very vigorously tested daily by
experts,” he said. “It’s certainly safe to drink.”
Municipal water facilities also have to dis-
close information on water quality.
About 40 per cent of bottled water comes
from tap, he added.
Mr. Boland hopes the water group can turn
into a multi-university campaign.
Initiatives the group is planning include a
conference at the university with researchers
and a tap water challenge with taste tests to
determine if people can tell the difference be-
tween tap and bottled water.
Mr. Boland’s also been invited to speak about
the campaign at a provincial environmental ad-
visory committee meeting in Oshawa this fall,
he said.
People can show support by joining the Face-
book group at facebook.com/group.php?gid=2
5193951431&ref=ts, and reading the eight rea-
sons for acting, as well as telling friends and
inviting them to join, and becoming a club
member if they attend Durham College, Trent,
or UOIT.

DURHAM — An Edmon-
ton-based soldier killed
in an insurgent attack
Monday has become the
second Canadian soldier
killed in Afghanistan in
the last three days.
Master Cpl. Erin Doyle,
of the 3rd Battalion Prin-
cess Patricia’s Canadian
Light Infantry, was killed
in the Panjwai district of
Afghanistan early Monday
when a group of as many
as 10 insurgents attacked
the combat outpost he was
stationed at.
According to a military
spokesman, Canadian
soldiers returned fire and
called in air support. A
second soldier injured in
the attack was taken to the
hospital at Kandahar air-
field for treatment.
Master Cpl. Doyle is the
90th Canadian soldier to
die in Afghanistan since
the conflict began in 2002.
This was his third tour in
the country.
He is survived by his
wife, Nicole, and daughter
Zarine.
The attack that killed
major Cpl. Doyle came just
days after Master Cpl. Josh
Roberts was killed during
a firefight in the Zhari dis-
trict of the province.
An investigation into
the Saturday firefight that
killed Cpl. Roberts is still
ongoing but it is suspected
a passing private security
convoy may have acciden-
tally opened fire on Ca-
nadian troops when they
engaged with a group of
about 15 insurgents.
The repatriation for
Master Cpl. Roberts will
be held Wednesday, Aug.
13, at 2 p.m. in Trenton.
The ceremonial proces-
sion along the Highway of
Heroes is expected to pass
through Durham region
around 3:30 p.m.

You are invited to direct any inquiries, comments or requests regarding the exploration
proposal to Mr. Ian Dobrindt of Gartner Lee Limited (agent acting on behalf of Toronto Hydro
Corporation), or Mr. Mark Patterson of the MNR. Comments must be received within the 30-day
comment period, which expires on September 12, 2008. At this time, MNR will consider all
comments that address the potential impacts of the wind testing activities as proposed by the
applicant. Any approval of future wind farm development scenarios will require completion of a
separate EA and public consultation process.
The proposal is being planned in accordance with a Category B project under the Class EA for
MNR Resource Stewardship and Facility Development Projects. A Notice of Completion will be
provided only to parties who have provided input or requested further notice. MNR may proceed
to authorize the wind exploration project without issuing a further general notice.
In addition to the MNR EA requirements, the proposal is also subject to the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA), as it is anticipated that a federal trigger (relating to fund
allocation) will occur. A CEAA Screening will take place to seek formal Federal approvals.

THANK-YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN THIS STUDY
PROPOSED WIND MONITORING STATION
Toronto Hydro Lake Ontario Anemometer
Toronto Hydro Energy Services (Toronto Hydro) has submitted to the Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources (MNR) an application to conduct testing of wind resources and secure
a Land Use Permit and an Application of Record Status for the Crown lands shown on the
map below. Only Crown Land is being considered. The Land Use Permit and the Application
of Record Status are used to secure the right to use the Crown land area approved for
exploration, on condition that all MNR requirements, including Environmental Assessment
(EA) requirements, are met. The proposal is part of a possible two year exploration phase to
determine the potential economic viability for the development of wind energy facilities.
To conduct the wind testing, Toronto Hydro proposes to construct an anemometer platform. An
anemometer platform is a stand-alone structure with no moving parts that would be affi xed to
the lake-bottom, but would be removable after it has served its purpose. The structure would
have the following general dimensions/characteristics:
• A structural steel platform in approximately 15 m of water extending from lake bottom to
approximately 4 m above lake water level with a width of approximately 5 m; and
• An anemometer instrument, auxiliary power system and navigation beacons located atop this
platform.
Additional project details and drawings are available on the Toronto Hydro website at the
following address – www.torontohydroenergy.com/offshorewind.
The specifi c location would be determined following a non-intrusive geotechnical study of
the lake bottom area, which would confi rm the type and quality of lake-bed soils. Following
this study the optimal location would be selected with the least possible disruption to the lake
bottom.

AJAX — A dog that bit a teenager in the face has
been found by Ajax Animal Services.
The German shepherd-mix is in the care of the
service, said Clayton Weller, a senior bylaw officer
for Ajax.
“The dog was signed over to our care. It’s in our
care and not the owner’s care,” he said.
The family of the animal is co-operating with
authorities, and the dog will be euthanized.
An officer with the animal services found the
dog and seized it, Mr. Weller said.
“The good news is we got the dog and it’s not in
the neighbourhood,” Mr. Weller said.
On Wednesday, Aug. 6, around 10 p.m., a 16-
year-old girl and two friends came upon the dog
running free in north Ajax. After petting the dog
for about 10 minutes, the girl stopped and was
then attacked by the dog. The animal bit the girl
in the face and her friends had to pry the dog off.
The dog eventually let go and ran off.
The victim was taken to the hospital by a nearby
homeowner, where she received stitches.

Witnesses helped police trail a suspect to a
home on Walnut Lane. Cops surrounded the
house and made contact with the people inside,
eventually arresting seven males. Six of those
people were released after questioning and police
charged one, a 17-year-old Ajax male, with rob-
bery, assault with a weapon and possession of a

DURHAM — Two men face
several charges after Durham
Regional Police seized four guns
from a north Ajax home.
The arrests were part of an on-
going investigation into a home
invasion in Oshawa on July 28 in
which a man was shot in the arm.
Officers with 17 Division (Os-
hawa) Criminal Investigations
Bureau (CIB) and the Offender
Management Unit (OMU) arrest-
ed the two men. Police believe
one of the men, an 18-year-old,
was one of six males involved in
the home invasion.
Durham police don’t believe
the other male was involved in
the home invasion, but was ar-
rested because of the firearms
seized.
The two were arrested around
3:40 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 7 at
the Ajax home.
While searching the house, po-
lice found three shotguns, one
rifle, two pellet guns, a sword and
30 rounds of ammunition.
Nicholas Hunte, 18, of no fixed
address, faces 15 charges, includ-
ing discharging a firearm, care-
less use of a firearm, pointing a
firearm, robbery, possessing dan-
gerous weapons, breaking and
entering, using a firearm while
committing an offence, obstruct-
ing police, possession of a con-
trolled substance (marijuana),
using a disguise and two counts
of breaching a prohibition order.
Joshua Gillett, 20, of Fishlock
Street in Ajax, has been charged
with three counts each of care-
less storage of a firearm, possess-
ing a dangerous weapon, unli-
censed possession of an unregis-
tered firearm and possessing an
unauthorized firearm. He’s also
been charged with possessing a
restricted firearm with ammuni-
tion and possessing a weapon
obtained by crime.
The two men were held for a
bail hearing.
The Durham police continue
to look for three other suspects in
the home invasion.

Pickering bylaws
should be respected
To the editor:
Re: ‘Will Mr. Fix-it go to court?’, News
Advertiser, July 18.
I have to say in response to this whole
lawnmower man story that people seem
to be defending this man and supporting
him. My opinion is that if bylaw officers
have to get involved and this man needed
to complain to the news for support, then
there is obviously something wrong.
As far as I’m concerned Pickering has great
bylaw officers who keep this city clean and
safe. In the news Councillor Bill McLean
said he was “embarrassed” by what was
going on. What’s embarrassing is that
Coun. McLean didn’t support his own
team of officers in his city. The law is the
law. Whether ‘lawnmower man’ is guilty or
not, police officers and bylaw officers are
obligated to investigate when something
is reported to them. If not then we would
have dirty vacant lots, loud music blasting
every night, garbage rolling along the roads
and election signs blocking the view of our
roadways.
I’m proud to be a Pickering citizen. I’ve
lived here going on 29 years. I follow the
city’s bylaws. I don’t park in handicap park-
ing or fire routes, I keep my home clean
and my noise level to a minimum. I don’t
park over the sidewalk and I respect the
parks my kids play in.
Everyone needs to start supporting the
bylaw officers instead of trying to bring
them down for following their job outline.
If you don’t like a law, complain to the
mayor and do your best to have it changed.
It’s not the bylaw officers’ fault for doing
their job properly. Be thankful we have
them. If you don’t like the laws, move.

In defence of Mr. Fix-it
To the editor:
Re: ‘Will Mr. Fix-it go to court?’, News
Advertiser, July 18.
This man deserves the Order of Canada,
not a day in court. Perhaps if more children
had this type of role model, we wouldn’t
need to replace burned-down park equip-
ment. Quote me in court if you want. This
is simply wrong - and a symptom of our
society gone wrong. By the way, what
“business” do you know that works for
free? Define “business”.

Let’s bring back
capital punishment
To the editor:
Don’t you think with all the crime we
have in this country, that people are put
away for silly things? And when they do
something that is real bad they get a slap
on the hand and let go free.
Maybe the law should change back again
to years ago when we had capital punish-
ment and maybe some of the violence
might stop. Forget about the young offend-
ers. If you do the crime you should do the
time. We have DNA and it helps keep inno-
cent people out of jail or prison.
Thee criminals should go to prison, they
should have never taken capital punish-
ment away. I can’t believe how many
people plead insanity.
Let’s get this country back on track. Let’s
stop the violence. Enough is enough. Inno-
cent people are dying for no reason.

Ethanol is not a solution
To the editor:
Ethanol is not green or clean.
Just like gasoline, it’s a product of plants
and vegetation.
It’s a hydrocarbon and, inside of an inter-
nal combustion engine such as you would
find in a car, the hydrogen is separated
from the carbon which transforms into
other substances like water and the green-
house gas which is destroying our atmo-
sphere, carbon dioxide.
Thus, it is a pollutant and not an environ-
mental solution.
Ethanol carries 30 per cent less energy
than the same amount of gasoline so we
have to use 30 per cent more of it to be able
to drive our cars in the manner to which
we have become accustomed. And we pro-
duce 30 per cent more pollution. So much
for helping the environment.
Since it is already being mixed with gaso-
line at the pumps at the rate of five per cent
by volume, and since it has less energy in
it, then we are already paying two per cent
more for a litre for our cars. If the ratio goes
to 10 per cent then our cost for a litre of fuel
would increase by four per cent.

Drug court
makes a
difference
in lives
of youth
Y ou’ve got to hand it to Ontario court
Justice Kofi Barnes. He was a man
who saw a problem, didn’t like
the current solutions and sought a new
way to deal with those charged with drug
offences.
The Durham-based judge, who had
experience working as a prosecutor in
Toronto with people charged with drug
offences, had seen the same old depressing
pattern of revolving door offences. Young
people would be charged, appear in court,
receive sentencing and show right back up
in the same place time after time.
Whatever was being done in the name
of justice with these offenders, it wasn’t
working. It was a short-term answer to a
long-term problem and no discernible dif-
ference was being made.
So Justice Barnes decided to change the
way the system worked. His goal was to
make a meaningful difference in young
lives gone off track, with the hope of getting
them back on the rails.
The answer is Durham Region’s Drug
Treatment Court. The goal of the court is to
help drug addicts facing non-violent crimi-
nal charges get to the root cause of their
problem. They have to be willing to make
an effort to change. And if they do their
part, Justice Barnes, part judge, part par-
ent, part brother, part friend, will be there
to congratulate them for success.
The judge gave kudos recently to a young
man after receiving reports from the
Crown attorney and the defendant that
suggested he was making good progress in
life. He dealt with several others who are
experiencing varying degrees of success
and failure but are under the watchful eye
of the judge and the system. The message
seems clear: If you really want to change,
we’ll help you along the way. We won’t for-
get about you or neglect you.
The long-term goal is to help save young
lives and provide a way for people to real-
ize their potential before they end up going
down a black hole into a life of crime and
addiction.
Justice Barnes is leading the fight and
deserves credit. But it’s clear the winners
in this story are those who take advantage
of what’s offered and turn their lives
around. We’re all better for it.

HEALTHY GREAT LAKES KEY TO HEALTHY COMMUNITIESHEALTHY GREAT LAKES KEY TO HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
The foundation for our community: Fast facts on the Great Lakes
VThe five Great Lakes contain a fifth of the world’s
surface freshwater, deposited there by receding ice
during the last ice age. Less than one per cent of the
water is replaced each year by precipitation.
V The Great Lakes basin, including the water and land
areas that drain into a lake, covers 766,000 square
kilometres, larger than any one of Canada’s prairie
provinces.
V At 17,000 kilometres the shoreline of the five Great
Lakes and their connecting rivers is long enough to
reach nearly halfway around the world.
V The lakes contain the world’s largest system of fresh-
water islands, some of which are refuges for rare and
endangered species.
VThe basin includes parts of the province of Ontario
and eight states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Dr. Douglas Holdway is a specialist in environmental toxicology at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. He says
some chemicals banned for decades can still be found in the Great Lakes.

A MESSAGE FROM
PICKERING FIRE SERVICES
Everyone Enjoys a Barbecue -
Do it Safely!
Every year in Ontario, people are injured needlessly
while lighting their barbecues. The correct way to
light your propane barbecue is to open the lid and
strike your match or barbecue lighter before turning
on the gas. When you are fi nished barbecuing, turn
off the propane cylinder valve and then the barbecue
burners. Always use and store your barbecue and
propane cylinder outdoors.
For information about cleaning and maintaining
your barbecue, read the manufacturer’s instructions.

LHIN has
$11.5 million
to give away
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Funding
is being made available to
groups providing services
for seniors. The Central East
Local Health Integration Net-
work has $11.5 million avail-
able to health-care providers.
The funding is focussed on
community support services,
caregiver support and well
being, supportive housing or
assisted living and special-
ized geriatric services.
The funding is part of the
Province’s ‘Aging at Home
Strategy’, a three-year, $700-
million initiative launched in
2007. The Central East LHIN
will receive $20.5 million over
the three years.
“The LHIN has been given
three years of funding and
then it rolls into our (finan-
cial) base,” said Katie Cro-
nin-Wood, the communica-
tions lead for the Central East
LHIN. “The need to improve
services for seniors and their
caregivers was identified as
a priority by the community
when the LHIN’s Integrated
Health Service Plan was cre-
ated in the fall of 2006,” said
Kate Reed, seamless care for
seniors portfolio lead with
the Central East LHIN. “The
Aging at Home funding pro-
vides the Central East LHIN
with the opportunity to stra-
tegically invest in the priority
area.”
“Seniors and their care-
givers are starting to see the
benefits from this new strat-
egy. Already, new programs
to provide more supportive
housing, vision care, demen-
tia support, Meals on Wheels
and day programs are un-
derway,” said Dr. John Peto,
chairman of the Central East
LHIN’s seamless care for se-
niors network.
The Central East LHIN
covers all of Durham Region,
a portion of Scarborough, Pe-
terborough City and County,
Northumberland-Havelock
and Haliburton-Minden.
In the first year, funding was
provided for such things as
expanding Meals on Wheels
programs, providing support
to caregivers, and aiding in-
dividuals with hearing prob-
lems. Proposals are looked at
to see if it’s “one-year fund-
ing or ongoing funding. The
proposals will be evaluated
as one-time or ongoing,” Ms.
Cronin-Wood said.
In the third year, the fund-
ing raises to $20.5 million.
Funding could go to “any
health service provider,” such
as a hospital or community
agency, Ms. Cronin-Wood
said. Proposals have to be
submitted to the Central East
LHIN no later than Thursday,
Sept. 25. More information
on applying is available at
www.centraleastlhin.on.ca.

New charges
coming, police say
By Jennifer Stone
jstone@durhamregion.com
PETERBOROUGH — Stanley
Tippett’s wife, five children and
fiancee were in court Monday
morning as he learned new charg-
es, beyond those he already faced
for kidnapping and sexual assault,
were about to be laid against him.
His wife and fiancee had just
found out about one another since
the Peterborough man’s arrest last
week and sat together in the court-
room as suggested by Mr. Tippett’s
mother, Susan Anderson.
“I want to see his reaction,” she
said.
Mr. Tippett was stone-faced in
court, looking over at his children.
They included his son Ryan, 10,
who read out a letter outside the
courtroom, essentially disowning
his father.
“You are not my father,” Ryan
read from his letter. “A loving and
caring father would not hurt his
family this way.
“Don’t ever talk to me again and
never call me your son again.”
Ryan said he wanted to ensure
his father knew how he felt.
“I want him to stay in jail and
never come out,” said the small
boy, dressed in a suit.
Mr. Tippett’s bail hearing was
held over until Thursday.
His reported fiancee, Felicia
Neals, who only recently found
out Mr. Tippett was married, had
no comment, but her friend, Dawn
Mabey, said Ms. Neal is “not very
happy.” Last week, at Mr. Tippett’s
first court appearance, Ms. Neals
was said to be pregnant.
“She lost the baby on the week-
end,” Ms. Mabey said.
Mr. Tippett’s children were with
his wife Natalie and were quiet
in court. But outside, his young
daughter was heard crying and
yelling, “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.”
There was a reason to bring all
the kids to court, Ms. Anderson
said.
“My daughter-in-law brought the
five children because she wanted
him to feel the hurt,” she said.
“She wanted him to see what he’s
losing.” Mr. Tippett was arrested
last Wednesday morning after a
12-year-old Peterborough girl was
allegedly abducted at about 1:30
a.m. Wednesday. She had left a
birthday party in south Peterbor-
ough. She was sexually assaulted
and left at Courtice Secondary
School, police say.
Natalie Tippett said her husband
told her he had been carjacked and
dumped in Bowmanville.
He was eventually arrested, in
his uncle’s van, at about 8:40 a.m.
Wednesday in Manvers Township.
Court heard new charges were
pending, but Peterborough Lake-
field Police spokesman Walter Di-
Clemente said he could not con-
firm that until the charges were
sworn in court.

OSHAWA — A cab driver who
says he picked Stanley Tippett up
in Bowmanville and dropped him
off in Manvers just before the Pe-
terborough man was arrested said
his “heart just about fell out of
(his) mouth” when he heard about
Mr. Tippett’s subsequent arrest.
The Blueline taxi driver, who
asked not to be identified, said he
picked Mr. Tippett up on Baseline
Road in Bowmanville last Wednes-
day morning.
“I asked him, did he work at
Millwork?” the cabbie recalled
Monday. “And he said no, him and
a buddy of his commuted back
and forth to Toronto in a car pool
and the transmission went out on
his truck. So, he said they had the
truck towed to a garage and he
needed a ride home.
“So, I proceeded to drive him
home,” he said.
It was later while he was watch-
ing the news on Thursday event
that he heard about Mr. Tippett’s
arrest on TV just as he was ready
to return to work.
“They flashed a picture of him
on the TV, and I thought, ‘Holy
cow, that’s the guy I picked up on
Baseline.’ So I phoned the police
right away.”
That’s in contrast to what Mr.
Tippett’s wife, Natalie, was told.
“He said that he was held at
gunpoint and he was thrown in the
van, his van got stolen, (and) they
went on a highway pursuit,” Ms.
Tippett said last Thursday, as she
awaited her husband’s bail hear-
ing in Peterborough. “They threw
him out of the van and he blacked
out and he was walking along the
railway tracks in Bowmanville.”
The cabbie said he dropped him
off near Hwy. 115, on Porter Road
in Manvers Township.
Tippett bail hearing held over until Thursday

Purchases
attempted with
f ake credit cards
PICKERING — A Toronto man was ar-
rested a second time for alleged fraud
attempts in Durham Region.
The man was arrested Aug. 7 for alleg-
edly attempting to use fake credit cards at
the Canadian Tire on Pickering Parkway,
just a couple weeks after he was arrested
for the same type of offense in Port Perry.
Durham Regional Police were called to
the Canadian Tire for reports of a man try-
ing to buy merchandise and gift cards val-
ued at more than $500 with a fake credit
card.
Store employees requested to see some
identification and called police.
The suspect fled on foot with another
man, but police waited for them at a ve-
hicle in a parking lot and arrested one of
them upon his return.
A search of the 2008 GMC Yukon found
merchandise and gift cards purchased
with the forged credit card.
The other man was located and arrested
the next day.
He was previously released from police
custody July 22 on 32 charges relating to
forged credit cards at a Port Perry gas sta-
tion.
Johnson Johnpintan, age 33 of Hart
Avenue in Toronto, is facing seven new
fraud-related charges in addition to the 32
previously laid.
Sivarajah Tharmaratnam, age 40 of
Guinevere Road in Markham, is charged
with attempted fraud under $5,000 and
conspiracy to commit an indictable of-
fence.
Both men were held for bail hearings
Aug. 8.
Anyone with information is asked to
contact Detective Jeff Caplan at 905-579-
1520 Ext. 5702.
Anonymous information can be sent to
Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-
800-222-8477 and tipsters may be eligible
for a $2,000 cash reward.

I don’t quite understand who has the right
of way at intersections here in Beijing.
Pedestrians and cyclists cross on green and
red lights, sometimes straight across and
other times diagonally, depending on where
they are headed. Sometimes drivers wait,
other times they lay on the horn and keep
proceeding. The horn seems to be a popu-
lar form of communication on the streets. For
the media travelling on shuttles, we seem to
have the right of way no matter where we go.
People move or stop on the spot when our
drivers lay on the horn.

Here’s a fashion trend not seen our way. On
hot days, men often roll up the bottom of their
shirts over their stomach, bunched just below
the chest. Because of the slender build of
most of the men here, it’s not too bad, other
than odd looking. Think of some of the body
shapes you know back home, and cross your
fingers the trend doesn’t come our way.

Turning on the TV last night before bed and
it was Olympic heaven. Each channel had
a live feed from the different venues, so the
remote got a good workout bouncing from
basketball to boxing to soccer and so on. The
best part? It’s commercial free and there are
no announcers.

Only at the Olympics could this happen. A

‘We hate each other’
CANADA MOVING ON TO SOCCER QUARTERFINALS AGAINST THE U.S.
By Brad Kelly
BEIJING -- The Canadian women’s soccer team
has come a long way to play against a team that is
virtually next door.
But that’s what is on the docket Friday, when
Canada will face the United States in the quarterfi-
nals of the Olympic Games in Shanghai, the winner
guaranteed a shot at a medal game next week.
Despite dropping a 2-1 decision to Sweden at the
Beijing Worker’s Stadium on Tuesday night, Cana-
da’s 1-1-1 record was enough to put them through
to the next round.
Canada and the U.S. are familiar foes, having
played against each other in a number of high pro-
file games and friendlies. Ajax’s Candace Chap-
man is one of many on the Canadian squad look-
ing forward to the challenge.
“We played them numerous times and we know
their style and they know us pretty well, so I think
it’s going to be a really tough match,” she said.
Melissa Tancredi of Ancaster, who returned to the
lineup after sitting out the previous game against
China with an injured ankle, was a little more point-
ed in her comments about the quarterfinal show-
down with the mighty U.S.

By Brad Kelly
BEIJING -- Erin McLean and her Canadian team-
mates took the first step here today in what they
hope will be a march to the medal podium in wom-
en’s softball.
Opening the Olympic Games against Chinese
Taipei, the Canadians cruised to a 6-1 victory at the
Fengtai Sports Centre Softball Field, missing out
on the shutout in the bottom of the seventh inning,
when Chiu-Ching Li homered to left field off reliever
Robin Mackin with two out. It was one of only two
hits that Chinese Taipei could muster on the day,
earning a single off starter Lauren Bay Regula in
the fifth.
“That was as important as they come,” said
McLean of getting off to a good start. “We are taking
this one step at a time, so Chinese Taipei was the
first step in getting on to the podium and doing what
we need to do, so taking care of them was huge.”
The Whitby resident batted second in the lineup
and patrolled third base for Canada, stroking a sin-
gle in the fifth inning in four trips to the plate on the
day. She was later doubled off of second on a line
drive to left field.
Canada was in control of the game from the sec-
ond inning on, scoring a pair of runs on four hits
and two Chinese Taipei errors. Canada also plated
a pair of runs in each of the third and sixth innings.
Despite looking poised throughout the seven-
inning game, McLean admitted that the Olympic jit-
ters were there prior to stepping on to the field.
“Oh yeah. One hundred per cent,” said the 22-
year-old. “Once we got on the field in the first inning,
we realized we’re here and it’s time to turn it on.
“I think everyone was nervous and had a little
sickness in their stomachs. After that first inning, we
felt pretty good.”
The team has known for a long time that it would
be competing at the Olympics in Beijing. A 3-0 victo-
ry over Italy at the World Championships in Beijing
back in September of 2006 secured a top-five plac-
ing, allowing the team to become the first Canadian
entry to officially qualify for the Olympic Games.
Over that time, the expectation level of what this
experience might be like had time to slowly build.
So far, McLean has been awestruck with the whole
thing, right from the first day.
“The opening ceremonies were pretty amazing,”
she said.
Canada is right back at it here on Wednesday
when they face the Netherlands.

WHITBY’S #20 REVELS IN WIN AS WOMEN’S SOFTBALL TEAM BEATS CHINESE TAIPEI 6-1
Ron Pietroniro/ Metroland
Whitby’s Erin McLean runs out a bunt during Canada’s opening game in the women’s softball against Chinese Taipei. Canada was victorious, 6-1.
“I am so excited to play the States,” she admit-
ted. “We hate each other. It’s a great rivalry. It’s
going to be a great game. It’s the Olympics, so it
just raises the bar that much more.”
Canada wasn’t as sharp against Sweden as
it had been in previous round robin games with
Argentina and China, which produced a win and
tie. Some of it could have been attributed to the
fact the players already knew before they took the
field they were going to advance. The only ques-
tion that needed to be answered was who they
were going to play.
“Maybe subconsciously,” agreed Chapman
of the team holding back a bit. “We were think-
ing don’t do anything stupid, don’t get any yel-
low cards, but of course we wanted to play for the
win.”
Sweden jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of
goals by Lotta Schelin (19th, 51st). Tancredi made
her mark in the 63rd minute on a beautiful header,
completely airborne and parallel to the ground as
she put the finish on a ball fed in by Amy Walsh.
Tancredi was still glowing about the goal long
after the game. “Amazing,” she said of what it
feels like to score in the Olympics. “I just love scor-
ing no matter what or where it is. Scoring a goal in
the Olympics against a team like Sweden is just a
huge feat for me.”
The other quarterfinal matches will feature Bra-
zil against Norway, Germany will face Sweden,
while China and Japan will hook up.

Cook eyeing weekend medal race
WHITBY NATIVE FOURTH AFTER SIX OF 10 RACES
24/7 coverage gtaathletes.com
by Brad Kelly
CHRIS COOK, TORONTO
SAILING
QUINGDAO -- Chris Cook has little room for
error now as his Olympic sailing event passes the
midway mark.
The Whitby native sits fourth in the Finn class
after completing six of 10 races at the Qingdao
Olympic Sailing Centre in the City of Quingdao.
Tuesday was an off day for Cook.
“Early success has been due to my downwind
ability to come back in races and to not give up
until the finish line,” said Cook, who first began
sailing at the Whitby Yacht Club.
Since then he has moved to Toronto and is
based out of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club. “I
have come back from deep places in most of the
races so far and am staying tough waiting for an
opportunity to present itself.
“The conditions are a little on the light wind
side for me. I would like a lot more wind but came
prepared for what we are getting. The forecast is
not looking that positive for the next couple days
but we should get some good wind for our medal
race on Saturday.”
That medal race is something the 33-year-old
has been envisioning for a long time, hoping to
make the most of his first Olympic experience by
capping it off with a podium finish.
“I always knew I would be in the medal race,
I am just happy that I am still in the hunt for a
medal,” he said of the expectations coming in.
“I have to stay consistent to win a medal... I
have a bad race now so that will be my drop race
leaving me no room for mistakes from here to the
end of the event.
“I am still confident that I will put together four
more good scores to put me in the top bunch of
guys.”
BEIJING -- Oshawa-born Colin Russell is get-
ting an excellent view of Michael Phelps, if noth-
ing else.
Now, he’d like a medal of his own.
Russell and the rest of Canada’s 4x100-metre
relay team turned in a blistering time to finish
sixth at the National Aquatics Center in Beijing
Monday morning, still well back of Phelps and the
celebrated American team that won gold.
Brent Hayden, Joel Greenshields, Russell and
Rick Say came in at a Canadian record time of
3:12.26, which would have set a world record
prior to these Olympic Games.
As it was, five other teams broke the old stan-
dard in the final, topped by the 3:08.24 time of the
U.S.
Russell and company will now set their sights
on the 4x200-metre relay, where they hoped to
earn a Wednesday morning (today) in Beijing.
The team qualified in fifth spot without Hayden
and Russell, who are considered to be their top
two swimmers.
Russell also reached the semifinals of the indi-
vidual men’s 200-metre freestyle, but finished
seventh in his heat and failed to reach the final.
Phelps won the event in a world-record time of
1:42.96, his third gold medal of the Olympics.
JENNIFER PROVAN &
MARTHA HENDERSON, TORONTO
SAILING
Day 4...Toronto’s Jennifer Provan, skipping Toron-
to’s Martha Henderson and Sarnia’s Katie Abbott,
had a middling day, finishing ninth and 12th
among 15 boats in the fifth and sixth races. They
are 12th with 40 points, far behind leading Great
Britain (15 points) and the Netherlands (18). Aus-
tralia holds third with 32 points, level with the U.S.
They are back on the water today (Wednesday).

Second bird
in Durham
this summer
to test positive
for virus
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
PORT PERRY — A sec-
ond crow in Durham has
tested positive for West Nile
virus, after being picked up
in Port Perry.
The bird was found Aug.
5 and sent for testing to a
Guelph lab. The first in-
fected crow of the summer
was picked up on July 24 in
Uxbridge.
“What it tells us is West
Nile Virus is present in the
region and nothing more
than that, it doesn’t tell
us one area is more at risk
than the others,” said Neal
Mattes, senior inspector for
the health department.
Mr. Mattes said everyone
should take precautions
against mosquitoes, which
transmit the virus.
“We know that it’s present
in the region and we would
advise people in Pickering
to take the same precautions
as those in Beaverton.” The
Region monitors for West
Nile virus starting in May
each summer. So far, it has
submitted 31 dead birds for
testing. Residents are urged
to report sightings of dead
crows, ravens, blue jays and
raptors like eagles, hawks
and owls by visiting the
Region’s website at www.
region.durham.on.ca or by
calling the environmental
help line at 905-723-3818 or
1-888-777-9613, ext. 2188.
“It’s the mosquitoes that
transmit the virus and it just
so happens the birds are
more susceptible,” said Mr.
Mattes. “We can get bitten
by the same mosquitoes. It’s
the same virus that affects
the birds that would affect
us.” Symptoms of West Nile
virus in humans are similar
to other illnesses and in-
clude headaches, muscle
aches, tiredness and a slight
fever. “Most people will
feel no ill effects at all, it’s
a very small percentage of
the population that exhibit
symptoms and need medi-
cal assistance,” he said.

Tips for residents
• Avoid areas with high mosquito populations.
• Take extra precautions from dusk to dawn when mosqui-
toes are most active.
• Use a mosquito repellent which contains DEET, carefully
following manufacturers’ instructions. Adults should wear
a repellent with no more than 30 per cent DEET. Children
six months to two years old should use a less concentrat-
ed DEET product (10 per cent or less) applied once a day.
For children two to 12 years old, apply the less concen-
trated DEET product no more than three times daily.
• Wear light-coloured clothing, as mosquitoes like dark
colours. Dress in long sleeves, pants, socks and a hat to
cover exposed skin.
• Make sure all windows and doors in the home have tight
fitting screens in good condition.
• Get rid of stagnant water that remains for more that
a week around the outside of the home to help eliminate
potential breeding sites.

Students
are enjoying
summer vacation
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Eating some
ice cream treats from Ajax’s
Rotary Park snack bar, Emily
Harrison isn’t eagerly await-
ing Sept. 2.
With summer vacation
half over, some kids are al-
ready looking forward to re-
turning to school; 12-year-
old Emily and her younger
brother Jacob Harrison
aren’t among them.
“It’s been a really busy
summer,” said Emily, lean-
ing against her bicycle,
a helmet strapped to her
head. “We’ve been doing
soccer and he’s been doing
hockey. We’ve had family
over and done bike rides,
scooters.
“I don’t want to go back
to school.”
“Me either,” Jacob said.
The only thing that does
make Emily want to go back
is her friends.
“Not for the school work
though,” Emily said.
This year she’s going into
Grade 7 and she’s a bit ner-
vous. “I never thought I’d
be in Grade 7 and stuff... it
just seemed like a long time
away and now it’s almost
here,” Emily said.
She’s worried about the
increased workload and
quality of teachers. She
hopes she doesn’t get one
who’s angry or yells. On the
plus side, she looks forward
to lockers.
“And not much more,”
Emily said.
Like Emily, Tristan Brown
starts Grade 7 this year. He’s
almost ready to go back to
school.
“Not yet, after the cruise,”
Tristan said.
He has spent the summer
going to the park, spending
time with his grandmother,
and soon he’ll be going on a
Caribbean cruise.
At school, he’ll look
forward to meeting new
friends and learning lots of
new stuff.
“I’m looking forward to
getting As and Bs and get-
ting better at my reading,”
Tristan said.
Selina Armstrong is visit-
ing her godmother in Ajax.
A Michigan resident, Selina
has had a busy summer
participating in a Kids Dis-
covery Network and taking
field trips. She’s “kind of”
looking forward to going
back to school.
“The good part is I have
a nice teacher and a lot
of people say she’s good
with students,” Selina, age
10 said. She’s looking for-
ward to getting good grades
and compliments from her
teacher. She also misses her
friends and recess.
Selina usually starts miss-
ing school about half way
through the summer. Be-
fore going back, she’ll get a
new backpack, pencils, and
markers.
“And an apple for my
teacher,” Selina said.
Elsa Samayoa, age seven,
looks forward to school.
“Because it’s fun there,”
Elsa said.

Ajax and Pickering
artists show their
wares at popular
Uxbridge event
AJAX — Fifteen years ago, Kirsty
Naray was teaching stained glass art
and making kaleidoscopes when
she decided to see if she could bend
a piece of glass in a flame. The suc-
cessful experiment blossomed into
a new venture for the self-taught
Ajax artisan, who now creates a full
line of glass beads and jewelry from
her home studio.
“People know me as the floral
bead lady,” says Ms. Naray, who
will be returning for her fifth year
at Uxbridge’s ‘Art in the Park’ event
this weekend, a show she says is
very successful. “People are very
appreciative of handmade things.”
Ms. Naray starts with a coloured
glass rod and uses an oxygen gas
torch to melt the glass, sculpting
it to form a bead. Her creations,
which can be seen on her website,
kirstynarayglassarts.com, include
necklaces, pendants, bracelets and
collector marbles, featuring ani-
mals, insects, flowers, teddy bears
and more. She also makes sterling
silver chains, and is in her studio
every day before 4:30 a.m., giving
herself time to work before her
young granddaughter, whom she
babysits, arrives for the day.
Her pieces range from $6 to $250,
depending on the complexity of the
creation and whether they include
a chain.
Ms. Naray, along with more than
80 other artists and artisans, will
be displaying their wares for sale
at the Uxbridge Lions Club’s ‘Art in
the Park’ in Uxbridge’s Elgin Park
on Saturday, Aug. 16, and Sunday,
Aug. 17, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both
days. Ms. Naray will be joined by
painters, photographers, sculptors,
potters and individuals who work
in other disciplines during the two-
day show.
The featured artists are arriving
from Owen Sound, London, Orillia,
Toronto, York Region, Cannington
and Greenbank as well as Whitby,
Ajax and Oshawa, said Larry Peet,
president of the Uxbridge Lions,
who added the event is the biggest
annual fundraiser for his organiza-
tion.
Although Ms. Naray is no strang-
er to Art in the Park, there “will be
some new artists this year,” said Mr.
Peet.
Food will be available in the park
during both days and entertain-
ment is planned, he added. Kids
will have a chance to join the art
fun in a supervised play area, fea-
turing finger-painting, added the
Lions president.
He couldn’t say how many peo-
ple last year’s show attracted, but
noted it was a sizable crowd.
“We’re guaranteed good weath-
er,” he said jokingly. “We expect a
good turnout.”
Cost of admission to the event is
a donation at the gate for those en-
tering the park on foot from Main
Street, or driving in from Elgin
Park Drive. Proceeds are directed
to the Uxbridge Cottage Hospital
and “other community projects”
said Mr. Peet. A silent auction held
over the two days, featuring do-
nated work from local artists, rais-
es money toward Guide Dogs, he
added.

Art in the Park, visit www.uxbridge.

relationship to the site.
The winning artist will receive

ognition through a number of
mediums, including an official
unveiling, the Town’s Web site,
media communications and

The panel may include art-
ists, community representatives,

ing all the rules and how to apply,

Tugnutt, Watters
say new eight-team
group formed without
league permission
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Two area junior
‘A’ hockey club general managers
are steaming mad at a new divi-
sional alignment that’s been given
the green light, albeit on a one-year
basis, by the Ontario Hockey Asso-
ciation.
Starting for the 2008-09 season,
the OHA has permitted eight teams
to form their own ‘Central Division’
within the Ontario Provincial Ju-
nior Hockey League, playing an in-
dependent schedule to produce a
playoff winner that would advance
to the league semifinals. Teams
in this new division are
the Cobourg Cougars,
Hamilton Red Wings,
Markham Waxers,
Newmarket Hurri-
canes, St. Michael’s
Buzzers, Stouffville
Spirit, Toronto Ju-
nior Canadians and
the Wellington Dukes.
The move by these
eight OPJHL teams was
made ostensibly to boost the com-
petitiveness among the teams, as
many of the squads involved in the
realignment have generally been
viewed as powerhouses within their
own conferences over the past sev-
eral seasons.
The problem is, according to
Ajax Attack general manager
John Tugnutt and Pickering
Panthers GM Gary Wat-
ters, the OPJHL board
of governors was
never consulted and
never voted on the
proposal that’s cur-
rently going ahead as
a one-year pilot proj-
ect.
“We’re dead-
set against it and we feel a
certain number of our teams have
taken their ball and net and are
playing on the next street up be-
cause they didn’t like a rule.
“The OHA overstepped their
boundary, allowing this project
without the consent of the OPJHL,”
said Tugnutt, adding the league
board of governors, with the excep-
tion of those teams in the new di-
vision, were “unanimous” in their
opposition.
Tugnutt noted the dissenting
league board of governors intends
to “fight it vigourously” and have
subsequently launched a lawsuit
against what he calls a “splinter
group” that pushed through a pro-
posal “under the table and under-
handedly.”
Watters is only slightly less acri-
monious about the new divisional
alignment, noting there’s a definite
level of “bitterness” about the way
the changes came about. But, the
Panthers are prepared to move
ahead despite the controversial
move by the OHA.
“We did not endorse any of this
and neither did any of the other
teams not involved,” said Watters.
“We’ve just got to move on. It hap-
pened, so you deal with it. I think
they made a mistake. There’s a law-
suit against it. As far as we’re con-

do our thing.”
Joseph Cornacchia, director of
hockey operations and the GM with
the Markham Waxers, says the new
division was formed in response
to what he labels a general lack of
organization among some OPJHL
teams.

By Al Rivett

AJAX — When Linsey Fer-
nandes begins her collegiate field
hockey career in the U.S. this fall,
there will be at least one touch-
stone to home.
The 18-year-old, who’s won nu-
merous national medals as part
of Team Ontario
over the years,
will take the
field with the
American Inter-
national College
Yellow Jackets
(Springfield,
Mass.) women’s field hockey in the
fall on a full athletic scholarship.
While there, she will live with fel-
low Notre Dame Catholic Second-
ary School graduate Rhea Pascal,
who’s also attending AIC on a bas-
ketball scholarship.
Fernandes maintains it was ser-
endipity that led the two school
friends to attend, study and play at
the same university.
“I didn’t know she was going
there until afterwards,” said Fer-
nandes. “After we found out, we
wanted to live together.”
Fernandes left for Springfield
on Aug. 11 and began training
today (Wednesday, Aug. 13) for
the 2008 season under the direc-
tion of third-year AIC head coach
Julie Zoolkoski. The team begins
play in its 20-game schedule with
non-conference games against
Merrimack College of Maryland on
Aug. 29 and C.W. Post University
on Aug. 31, both at Holyoke High
School in Holyoke, Mass.
The Yellow Jacket’s Northeast-10
(NCAA Division II) schedule be-
gins Sept. 4 against UMass-Lowell.
The Ajax resident notes she’s
anxious to start her collegiate ca-
reer with the
Yellow Jackets
women’s field
hockey team
after initially
signing for her
scholarship in
mid-June.
“I’m excited to go, but nervous,
too,” she admitted. “The campus is
really nice and the education there
seems really good.”
Fernandes said she was pursued
by several other U.S. schools, in-
cluding Rutgers, Michigan State
University, Dartmouth College
and the University of Maine before
settling on AIC. In order to get an
audience with the various schools,

DREAM DRAMATHETHE
TAKING ON THE WORLD’S BEST IN BEIJING

Ajax Hornets hang with Toronto FC
AJAX — Ajax Hornets girls’ U9 soccer players lived out a dream by standing alongside their soccer heroes at a Toronto FC friendly against Club Atletico Inde-
pendiente from Argentina at BMO Field in Toronto recently. The Hornets received the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity through a program organized by McDonald’s
Restaurants.
she sent DVDs of herself in action
to the various coaches. There were
a number of factors that went into
her decision to attend AIC.
“I liked the coach, I like that
it’s a smaller school and I like my
program, too,” says Fernandes,
who’ll major in chemistry within
the school’s pre-dentistry program.
“The teachers and everyone there
were really friendly.”
Fernandes admits the AIC field
hockey program is currently in
transition, having posted an overall
3-15 mark, including a 2-14 record
within their conference last sea-
son.
“The team is not bad, but basi-
cally they’re starting from scratch,”
she explained.
Fernandes has played field hock-
ey since age 7 and has competed
for the past 11 years with her club
team, the Toronto Titans. She was
selected at age 12 to be part of the
U16 Ontario provincial team and
has played for Ontario at nation-
als since 2002, winning 10 medals,
including seven gold, at the indoor
and outdoor championships. Her
last national medals came at the
U19 level, where Ontario won gold
at the 2008 indoor nationals last
March.
She expects the experience
of playing in a collegiate setting
shouldn’t be much different than
what she’s used to playing for the
provincial teams, she said, allow-
ing that training could be more
intense.
“I think it should be similar,” she
said. “Maybe we’ll train a bit more.
I think we’re supposed to be train-
ing more times a week.”
In preparation for the com-
ing collegiate season, Fernandes
played a full schedule with her To-
ronto Titans women’s team, help-
ing the team reach the semifinals
in its Ontario league that stretches
as far as the Kitchener-Waterloo
area.
She expects to play either the
centre-defence or centre-midfield
positions with the Yellow Jackets.
ganized and are not competitive,”
said Cornacchia. “Certain teams
run their franchises like a glorified
juvenile team. We felt that in order
to both be competitive and attract
better players they have to run it like
a junior program.”
Cornacchia maintained he and
the other member teams within the
new division brought forward their
concerns about flagging competi-
tiveness within the OPJHL to past
chairman Al Doria and board of
management commissioner Bob
Hooper and were met with silence.
“Out of frustration, this has snow-
balled into what we have now,” said
Cornacchia.
As for the impending lawsuit,
Cornacchia says he and other Cen-
tral Division team management are
non-plussed.
“Not at all. It doesn’t concern us.
They can talk all they want about
legalities. We’re doing what’s in the
best interests of kids and junior
hockey. If we have to overcome cer-
tain legal hurdles, we will.”
Marc Mercier, on the executive of
the Central Division and a governor
of the Cobourg Cougars, says his
understanding of the lawsuit is it’s
in the form of an appeal to Hockey
Canada. He’s unsure when any ap-
peal to the governing body of hock-
ey in Canada would be heard.
Cornacchia says he hopes the
pilot project will continue beyond
its one-year mandate and he hopes
other junior ‘B’ and OPJHL squads
will join the new Central Division in
subsequent seasons.
As it currently stands, the Attack
and Panthers will form part of a new
East Division within the OPJHL with
the Bowmanville Eagles, Kingston
Voyageurs, Lindsay Muskies, Peter-
borough Stars, Port Hope Predators,
Trenton Hercs and the Whitby (for-
merly Durham) Fury.
Another byproduct of the league’s
re-alignment is interdivisional play,
with the Attack and Panthers to play
teams from other divisions through
the course of the regular season.
While it will mean a bit more travel,
Watters is in favour of giving Pan-
thers’ fans new teams to watch.
“We’ll be seeing different teams
coming into Pickering, so that’s not
a bad thing.”

In Memory of a beloved Son, Brother & Grandson,
Kyle Gage Lamb
August 12, 1993 to February 22, 2007
If you had never left us,
You’d be 15 today,
But that wasn’t for us to decide,
We didn’t have a say.
Our memories of you will never fade
They’ll never go away,
We each dream of our time spent with you
As we rest, work, and play.
Although you’re not here right now
It doesn’t change the way
You are a part of our family
We still have much to share and say.
We praise God for Restoration,
Of what was put astray,
And thank Him that you can now be honoured,
In the place you have been laid.
And although our hearts ache as we miss you,
Each and everyday
We will wait patiently, until again,
With you we will stay.
We will love you always, and you will live on
through our lives,
Dad, Tanya, Talya, Zackary,
Grandma and Poppa McVitty and Hayward.
