A report last week noted the fed- eral government was in talks to sell a portion of AECL to General Elec- tric Co. Steve Erwin, senior media ad- visory to energy minister Dwight Duncan, doesn’t foresee any pos- sible repercussions of the sale. “No, I don’t think so,” he said. “If speculation like that proved true, it might change the players or the playing field. Our stance won’t change.” AECL uses Candu nuclear tech- nology, which is employed in al- most two dozen reactors in Canada, including the Pickering and Dar- lington stations. About half of the energy used in Ontario comes from nuclear power and a 2004 report for the provincial government suggested more reactors be built. The report, prepared by former federal Liberal cabinet minister John Manley, rec- ommended the best technology be used, not necessarily Candu tech- nology. In May of this year, Mr. Duncan announced consultants were being retained to study which technology should be used if new reactors are built. The government has said it would prefer to use “Canadian technology AECL sale won’t affect Ontario’s stance Resident group says City lagging behind other municipalities By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — For the benefit of dogs and people, Pickering needs an off-leash park, says a Pickering resident and dog owner. Nicole Scarlett, a member of the Pickering Dog Park Working Group and owner of Bill, a 14- year-old shepherd/lab mix, and Harley, a three-year-old collie/ lab mix, said dogs are beneficial to humans by providing comfort and companionship, for example, and even working in fields such as policing. She stressed dogs need 40 minutes of exercise each day to maintain physical and mental well-being. “Sufficient cardiovascular exer- cise is difficult to attain on-leash for most breeds,” she said. “Fur- thermore, off-leash interaction teaches dogs socialization skills and appropriate behaviour.” The working group, comprised of residents and volunteers, is trying to engage City staff in cre- ating an off-leash dog park in Pickering, and Ms. Scarlett said it’s been very supportive. At the latest Council meeting, Ms. Scarlett presented the group’s preliminary proposal, and said Pickering is lagging behind other municipalities, such as Toronto and Ajax, in regard to off-leash parks. “As a result, many pet own- ers resort to off-leash exercise in public areas,” she said in an inter- view. She added this can lead to bylaw enforcement challenges, more encounters between people comfortable with dogs and those who are not, and can even pose a risk to drivers or dogs if they run into traffic. The proposal lists the positives of an off-leash park, namely that it will: decrease encounters be- tween the dog and non-dog com- munity; reduce the risk of dogs- at-large; and, reduce pollution from dog feces in public parks. It further notes Pickering has an estimated 5,000 dogs.

It also mentions that 180 warnings or in- fractions were handed out in Pickering last year to owners of dogs without a leash. The proposal identified a potential site north of Finch Avenue on the west side of Valley Farm Road. Ms. Scarlett mentioned some of the land is owned by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Hydro One, but both parties are open to nego- tiations. The group considered all aspects of the park and suggested it has biodegrad- able bags available for fecal matter, for example, and that owners be subject to the Ontario Dog Owner’s Liability Act. Although Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles said, “It’s a valid thing to pursue a leash-free area,” he wasn’t convinced this is the best location since the west side of Valley Farm Road is a hydro corridor. Ward 3 Regional Coun- cillor Rick Johnson said it’s important to look at more than one site. Ms. Scarlett said they’re always open to options. Council acknowledged the submission and a pub- lic meeting on the topic will be held in the fall. “It is important for ev- eryone to hear and under- stand all the issues and viewpoints of people in our community, includ- ing those who own dogs and those who do not,” Ms. Scarlett said. The working group will soon transition into a Dog Park Management Team and would appreciate more volunteers. To receive more information on the dog park or to volunteer, e-mail pickeringdogpark@hotmai l.com. No decision yet on new nukes first,” Mr. Erwin stated. Should AECL be sold, “it may change who we deal with” but doesn’t otherwise change the government’s plan, Mr. Erwin added. “We’re waiting for the study. It will be a few months at least. No final decision has been made,” he said. The nuclear study is “tak- ing a look at the options,” and Mr. Erwin doesn’t ex- pect a decision to be made prior to the Oct. 10 provin- cial election. The environmental pro- cess for new nuclear reactors at the Darlington and Bruce stations has started, but no decision on whether to build has been made, he added.FOLLOW ALL OUR BLOGGERS:Visit durhamregion.typepad.com✦ Public from page 1 ✦ No from page 1 Mi ssing since July 8 AJAX — A 17 year-old girl hasn’t been seen since last Sunday and police are now looking for help in finding her. Katherine Allison Wilkinson of Coe Drive in Ajax was last seen by a friend on the afternoon of July 8. Her family called police on Tuesday evening when she still hadn’t returned home. “(Katherine) has numerous learning disabilities and police and her family are concerned for her safety,” stated a release issued by Durham Regional Po- lice on Friday afternoon. Investigators received information that suggested Katherine might have been picked up by a white male in his mid 20’s with blonde hair, driving a red or burgundy car. She is described as white, with long dirty-blonde hair, blue eyes and was last seen wearing khaki-coloured Capri pants and a white T-shirt.

The Region, in conjunc- tion with York Region, is in the midst of an envi- ronmental assessment of EFW as a means of dealing with garbage. The second trip to Eu- rope to investigate dif- ferent thermal treatment technologies focused on the environmental impacts of energy from waste. “Representatives (from Europe) have all conclud- ed that health impacts are not a concern in their area,” Mr. Anderson said. “The sites we visited were all over, beside schools, beside day-care centres and apartment buildings, and they were really well put together.” He said they learned that 30 Swedish plants combined had emissions of less than one gram in 2005 and the biggest con- cern among residents was truck traffic to and from the plants. Cliff Curtis, the Region’s commissioner of works, said he feels the trip was valuable for the partici- pants, especially those from Clarington, who got to see an array of plants in Denmark, Sweden, Ger- many, Switzerland and Italy and the surrounding land uses. They took advantage of meetings with pub- lic health officials to ask questions about health concerns brought up by residents at the Region’s recent series of public meetings about EFW. “Based on what we saw in Europe, I think we are headed down the right path,” Mr. Curtis said. “They used the best tech- nology and what we would use here would be compa- rable.” Now the Region will continue through siting a potential facility and will put out a ‘request for qual- ifications’ to narrow the field of possible provid- ers. Once that is completed, the Region will evaluate site-specific health im- pacts. Plans could see an EFW facility operating in either York or Durham by 2010.

All in the family as dad, son charged with fraud Police allege computers were purchased with stolen credit card DURHAM — An ongoing investigation by Durham Re- gional Police has resulted in fraud charges for a Toronto man and his son. The 42-year-old man was arrested in Ajax on July 6 after a security guard at the Costco store on Kingston Road alert- ed police to a fraud in prog- ress. Police say the man alleg- edly purchased two laptop computers worth $3,000 with a credit card stolen from Los Angeles. The security officer told po- lice he recognized the suspect from a previous fraud incident and he arrested the man after following him to a neighbour- ing business. A search of the man’s 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, parked nearby, resulted in the sei- zure of stolen credit cards in various names, counterfeit Ontario driver’s licences and numerous Equifax and Trans Union credit reports in vari- ous names, police said. Samuel Essien is facing numerous charges including fraud under $5,000, forgery, personation, and use of a credit card obtained by crime. Investigators allege Mr. Essien had the stolen cred- it cards mailed to him from across the U.S and then had counterfeit Ontario driver’s li- cences made in the names of the stolen cards. He is accused of using the cards to purchase large elec- tronics and other expensive items. The investigation took po- lice to two condominium units in Toronto that are owned by Mr. Essien. During a search, police seized computer equipment, a point-of-sale machine, nu- merous stolen and counterfeit cards and counterfeit certifi- cates of Canadian Citizen- ship. As a result of one of the counterfeit citizenship cards, Toronto police arrested Mr. Essien’s son Christian Samuel Titus-Essien. The 18-year-old is charged with possession of a coun- terfeit mark and forgery and fraudulent use of a citizenship card. Mr. Titus-Essien was trans- ported to Oshawa. Both men were held for bail hearings Saturday and were remanded until their next ap- pearance this week. Police say they are working with immigration officials to determine the status of both men, who are believed to be in the country illegally.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS durhamregion.com Every dollar counts in war on gangs While Premier Dalton McGuinty promised back on June 6 to devote $12 million to a program targeted at guns and gangs, it wasn’t until this past week that we got specifics about how the cash would help Durham. Newly minted Durham Police Chief Mike Ewles was on hand to welcome Monte Kwinter, Community Safety and Correctional Services minister, who handed over a cheque for $510,000, the local portion of the provincial crime-fighting initiative. Clearly, the issue of gangs and the fallout their criminal ac- tivities spread, is felt across society and any tools the Province can provide our police to fight them, is welcome. Concerns about the McGuinty Liberals trying to rack up pre- election goodwill by spending taxpayers’ money are second- ary to the issue of battling a problem that threatens to worsen without extensive preventive measures. High-profile arrests in Toronto -- such as the recent Drift- wood bust that resulted in the arrest of dozens of people ac- cused of gang activity -- point out the need to stay on top of gang activity. The Durham Regional Police has been active on this front, with the formation of a gangs and guns unit in 2005. The unit had identified some 32 gang locations throughout Durham a year into its formation and was actively working on intel- ligence gathering and ways to penetrate and bring down gang members. There have been significant results from all that work: in 2005/06, the guns and gangs unit arrested 96 gang members or gang associates and laid more than 450 charges in the region. And in 2006 the unit was able to seize 44 guns, including 25 handguns. Chief Ewles has a warning for gang members. “We will certainly make it known to those people who gravitate towards those activities that they are not welcome in Durham Region.” While the chief believes, “Durham Region remains a very safe place to live, work and play,” half-a-million dollars can only help further the unit’s work and help to make Durham Region a little safer. Airport would harm environment To the editor: After decades of telling us so, organizations such as Pollu- tion Probe, Greenpeace and The Suzuki Foundation seem to have finally had an influence on the governments of the world that are all waking up to the fact that the earth is in trouble. Large-scale efforts such as Live Earth, mass educate us on the small-scale powers we have in everything that we do on a daily basis to help reverse the effects that energy wastefulness has had on this planet. Finally, our government is investing money in green energy such as wind power, electric and hy- drogen-powered vehicles, and ongoing campaigns to change incandescent light bulbs in our homes to compact fluores- cents, explanations of water-boiling techniques for our cups of tea, thermostat settings for our heat, new-lawn cutting and watering guidelines, etc. Without a doubt, very few of us would argue that this is all excellent and necessary information. Can someone then, please tell me why this same govern- ment is trying to pave over 11,000 hectares of prime agri- cultural land, pollute the atmosphere with jet fuel and new highways, raise the air temperature and forever destroy the home of native plant and animal species, for an airport that is not needed? I can’t be the only one that sees the ironic deceit in this. Dianne Fordham Pickering Support for troops not the same as supporting mission Support our troops? Who doesn’t -- other than the bad guys who are trying, unfortunately with far more success than any of us would like to see, to kill them. What is upsetting about the whole sup- port our troops debate is how support our troops blends insidiously into support our mission in Afghanistan. For, how can you support our troops but not support the goals they are putting their lives on the line to achieve? And it’s then no small step to believe we can’t let the 66 troops who have died in Afghanistan so far, perish in vain. We have to keep up the fight so the sacrifices which have been made have not been made for nothing. What’s worrying is that, with more than 18 months left in our NATO forces commitment to Afghanistan, how will the debate over extending or ending the mis- sion be framed? Prime Minister Stephen Harper, asked about the mission in the wake of the deaths of six more Canadian troops, said it was too early to begin to debate whether we should stay or go. But, let’s face it, this is a question we will have to deal with soon. The idea that we must stay in Afghani- stan until we finish the job is confusing for most of us civilians. What does finish the job really mean? When you are dealing with an enemy that supports suicide bombings and roadside explosions as its prime method of fighting, how can you know how much progress you’ve made? In the past -- say the First and Second World Wars of the 20th century -- the fight- ing was over when the enemy surrendered. Canada was involved in those wars from the outset and we lost more than 100,000 soldiers in battle over the course of close to 10 years fighting in conflicts that received overwhelming civilian support. Our goals were clear and our mission, as horrible as it was, was easily understood. But times have clearly changed. The days of fighting the enemy face-to-face with a clear winner and loser and a war that had a beginning, a middle and an end, are over. That makes it more important than ever that we understand precisely what it is we are doing when we commit thousands of troops to a dangerous mission in a foreign land half a world away. Are we fighting terrorism? Providing hu- manitarian relief? Making Afghanistan ripe for democracy? Or are we answering the call from the United States that we pay in blood to do our part to battle the evildo- ers? We need to have an open, honest and heartfelt discussion about what it is we are trying to accomplish in Afghanistan untar- nished by political posturing and unblem- ished by spin. It’s not fair to our troops who are putting their lives on the line to be anything less than totally clear about what we are doing. We need to talk.

Tim Kelly staff editor We need to talk about Afghan mission DURHAM — Two reactors at the Pickering nuclear station will be offline for the summer so im- provements to a back-up system can be made. “We anticipate it will take a good part of the summer. Hope- fully, we’ll have them on-line in August,” said Ontario Power Gen- eration spokesman John Earl. The work to Units 1 and 4 is to a back-up electrical system. “We saw a weakness in that system. We want to go in and do the repairs.” The system provides an electri- cal connection from the ‘B’ side of the station to the ‘A’ side, where Units 1 and 4 are located. Units 2 and 3 are in a perma- nent shutdown state. The four ‘B’ side reactors are operating. He referred to the work as “de- fence in depth,” adding, “We saw an improvement opportunity with that back-up system. “We’re improving the system and we’ll be able to have a third- level of redundancy,” Mr. Earl stated. “It’s important we have to take that approach.” The cost to do the work hasn’t been finalized, he noted. “Until it’s scoped out, we won’t have a price. It’s not a major capi- tal project, but it’s something that will take time.” Each reactor produces about 500 megawatts of power each day. The Independent Electricity Sys- tem Operator (IESO), which is responsible for ensuring there’s enough power in the province, will have to import electricity to compensate for the loss of the two reactors. “Ontario imports power from neighbouring jurisdictions almost every day. The unavailability of the two Pickering units will in- crease the need for imports at times over the summer, particu- larly when hot, humid weather conditions occur or if additional equipment problems occur,” IESO chief operating officer Derek Cow- bourne said in a press release.

But our moti- vation only seems to kick in with the start of summer. There’s nothing like warm weather to encourage us to get outdoors, even if it’s only to begin a walking pro- gram. As with any new exercise, if you are over the age of 35, you should get a medical evaluation before begin- ning. A great way to ease into an exercise routine is to start walking. Walking not only burns fat, it tightens muscles and lowers lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Our walking rate as we go about out daily activities is approximately three miles per hour. The average person should walk at a pace of about one third faster (four miles per hour) to reach a desired exercise heart rate. We need to protect out feet, therefore a good walking shoe is very important. It should provide the most fl ex- ibility at the middle of the sole. While walking, your feet do not require the same impact protection as when you are running, so your soles do not have to be thick. Before you begin walking, it is always a good idea to start with at least fi ve minutes of stretching exercises. After you stretch, begin walking slowly. Do so for about fi ve minutes to increase your heart rate. Then walk brisk- ly for about 25-30 minutes. Your walk should end with a fi ve minute decrease in speed to cool down and than fi ve minutes of stretch- ing to prevent stiffness and increase fl exibility. Never wear ankle weights. They will put pressure on your joints that evolution never anticipated and are sure to cause future problems. Safe walking is great for all ages. Here are some summer exercise tips to get you ready for your warm weather wardrobe: 1. Dress appropriately for the temperature. Wear light coloured, loose fi t- ting clothing. Always wear a hat with a visor and use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. 2. Drink a lot of water before, during and after the walk. Don’t wait until you are thirsty, by then it’s too late and you may already be dehydrated. 3. Give yourself time to adapt to warmer weather. Exercising in the sum- mer heat puts more strain on the body than in cooler temperatures. 4. Walk in the morning or early evening when it’s cooler and traffi c is lighter. 5. Make sure you are visible when walking at night. The greatest threat to the health of a walker is an inattentive driver. Wear bright clothing with refl ective tape on your arms, front and back. Also carry a fl ashlight. 6. Avoid busy streets. Carry only enough money for a phone call or emergencies. 7. Obey the rules of the road. Walk facing traffi c where there are no sidewalks. Like any form of exercise, walking should be done in moderation, every other day. If you are concerned about the weather outside, you can always mall walk. Most malls are open early in the morning, and are a perfect temperature. Just think; you won’t have to worry about a pet owner who neglected to scoop their poop.

Too many people believe that dentures are good for over 20 years. Nothing could be further from the truth! The removable prosthesis is made of a hard, rigid mate- rial. Your face, mouth and jaw, on the other hand, change over the years. Because it can not adapt to these changes and because artifi cial teeth wear down with time, a pros- thesis cannot do its job effectively for more than about fi ve years. This reality can have devastating consequences that are often invisible and imperceptible to the wearer of a worn-out denture. Here is a short list of the most harmful possible effects suffered by wearers of prothesis more than fi ve years old: • Softening of the tissues • Painful irritated tissues • More labourious chewing and diffi cult digestion • Headaches, earaches, neck pain and joint problems • Sagging mouth, point chin and prematurely old face • Accelerated resorption of the bone And this is only a partial list! Very few people maintain their prosthesis properly. Some even neglect to remove it for the night. Don’t take chances with your health! See your denturist annually. When was the last time you saw your denturist? Pickering Denture Clinic offers free consultations.

Caution: Dentures over fi ve years old could have damaging effects (NC)-Napping seems to be on the minds of many sleep- deprived Canadians, with recent international studies praising the benefi ts of the mid-afternoon snooze, whether at home or at work. But is napping for everyone? The Better Sleep Council Canada advises that if you regularly have trouble falling or staying asleep at night, you should not be taking a nap dur- ing the day. But for others, napping can help regain alert- ness, enhance productivity, and reduce the stress of our busy days. To nap, or not to nap? That is the question. If you’re considering making nap time part of your dai- ly routine, The Better Sleep Council Canada recommends you to keep these tips in mind: • You can reduce the impact of the mid-day slump by going out for a brisk walk in the fresh air and drinking plenty of water to keep hydrated. • Get enough sleep – adults need about eight hours sleep per night. Make the necessary changes to ensure you get a better night’s sleep. • If you choose to nap, keep them between 15-30 min- utes. Longer naps allow your body to slip into deep sleep, making it diffi cult to wake and leaving you with a groggy feeling when you do awake. • If there’s no way around it and you know you need more than 30 minutes of naptime, try sleeping for an hour and a half to complete a sleep cycle. • Avoid napping in the late afternoon - you’ll have diffi - culty falling asleep at night and it will shift your biological clock, making waking up the next morning diffi cult. • If you feel you need a nap, but can’t fall asleep, just enjoy the down time and relax – your body is still restoring energy.

Today, the 16-year-old is a fountain of in- formation, teaching her friends about the disease, filling in her teachers and gearing up for a second year of fundraising through Walk a Block for Lupus. “I want everyone to know that a lot of people get this disease and it’s really tough,” she says. “But maybe, raising money will help find a cure.” It’s been two and half years since Jacyln was diagnosed with lupus. After years of being sick on and off, the Blackstock teen landed at the Hospital for Sick Children where doctors first thought she had a blood disorder. “They diagnosed me with lupus three weeks before my 15th birthday,” she says. “I didn’t know what it was. My family and friends and everyone were really surprised.” Lupus is a chronic disease that causes the immune system to attack healthy cells, leading to inflammation, tissue damage and organ failure. It can affect any part of the body and symptoms vary widely which is why it is known as “the disease with a thousand faces.” Lupus Canada estimates at least 50,000 Ca- nadians live with the disease, which is most prevalent in women ages 14-45. In Jacyln’s case, lupus attacked her brain first. “I had a headache for 26 days straight,” she recalls. “On a scale of one to 10, it was a nine or a 10 most of the time. I had to hide out in my room, I couldn’t listen to people talking.” The disease has also affected her kidneys. Fortunately, Jacyln is now being weaned off the steroids that kept her symptoms at bay and crossing her fingers that she will go into remission. She is starting to get back to normal teen things -- like playing baseball -- but is keenly aware that lupus might always be a part of her life. “It’s hard, especially if you’re my age. I lost some friends because people didn’t under- stand,” Jacyln says. But she has also found new support through the Oshawa Lupus Support Group, a group of people from across Durham who meet monthly to hear speakers, discuss issues and offer advice. Group leader Shannon Crawford says there is a huge need for public awareness when it comes to lupus and plans to make that a focus of this year’s fundraising event. In past years, the annual walk was a small event for family and friends, held at the Os- hawa Centre. This year, it is moving to Lakeview Park and will include a fun fair and silent auction to at- tract a broader range of people. “We’ve never really been visible to the public and we need to be,” she says. “I’ve talked to people who had no idea there was a local lupus support group. This dis- ease is more common than people think and we want people to know we’re here.” Last year, Walk a Block for Lupus events across Canada raised over $135,000. This year, the goal is $300,000. The local walk takes place Saturday, Sept. 15, at Lakeview Park in Oshawa. Registration starts at 9 a.m. followed by the walk at 10 a.m. and fun fair from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. To register, sponsor a participant or make a donation, visit www.lupuscanada.org. For more information on the local walk or support group, contact Shannon Crawford at 905-697-2941.

Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Ready to run a relay in Hershey AJAX — The relay foursome of Naomi Leon-Palmer, Noelle Leon-Palmer, Chanice Taylor-Chase and Zakiya McIntosh will compete at the Hershey International Track and Field finals in Hershey, Pennsylvania next month. The girls qualified with a time of 52.08 seconds in the 4-x-100-metre relay during the Hershey qualifying meet at Oshawa’s Civic Stadium. Extend win streak to five games DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins extended its winning streak to five games with a lopsided 64-0 win over the Etobicoke Eagles at Pickering’s Kinsmen Park Sunday. The Ontario Varsity Football League peewee division win was crucial, as there are currently three teams tied for top spot in the division and points differential, if tied, could determine who gets home field for the playoffs in three weeks. The Eagles’ offence ran up against the Dolphins’ steel curtain defence, which is currently ranked No. 1 in the OVFL. The defence provided a strong game giving up only 19 net yards of Eagles’ offence. Meanwhile, the ‘Phins offence started the game with the ball on the ground, moving ahead with the backfield duo of Keldyn Ahlstedt and D’Shane Chung and taking only five plays to put Chung in the end zone for the first major. Once the first major was on the board quarterback Mike Stobbart started the aerial assault, throw- ing two more majors to wide-outs Roynelle Meredith, on a 48-yard fly route, and Harrison Williams, on a 20-yard corner route. Overall, Stob- bart passed for more than 200 yards on the day. Ahlstedt and Chung added ad- ditional touchdowns before the Dol- phins ended the half up 35-0. The domination continued in the second half when, on the first series, it looked like the Dolphins were in trouble. Forced to punt from deep inside its own end, a broken play on the snap to Stobbart resulted in him scrambling and breaking loose for a 75-yard touchdown run down the sidelines, followed by a two-point conversion by Ahlstedt to increase the lead to 43-0 only minutes into the second half. Fullback Taylor Wilenski, and Stobbart would add additional touchdowns before the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, back-up pivot Nik Shah promptly threw a 25-yard touchdown strike to re- ceiver Demetrius McFarquhar, and controlled the balance of the game, allowing the defence to close out the game with a late quarterback sack by defensive end Adeem Bembridge. It was a critical game for the team as the Dolphins face Mississauga on its home field on Saturday in a battle for sole position of first place. Ajax stables host show jumping qualifier today AJAX — Seventy-eight young riders from 12 pony club branch- es compete Sunday at the second of the Central Ontario Region’s qualifiers for the Regional Show Jumping Finals. Hosted by the Ajax Pony Club, the qualifier is at Audley Road Stables, starting at 8 a.m. Selection for the Regional fi- nals is based on scores achieved at this meet and two other quali- fiers -- one in May and the other scheduled for August. In this show, three divisions of pre-entry riders compete in two classes each: a medal class and a single round plus jump-off, preceded by a warm-up round. A schooling division will follow the same format. Medal classes involve judg- ment of the riders’ equitation skills, not the horse or pony, in two phases: with and without fences. The higher classes – entry, starter, beginner, novice, inter- mediate and advanced -- com- pete in three classes each: a medal class, a single round plus jump-off, and a power and speed round, to determine a champion and a reserve in each division. Audley Road Stables is at 777 Audley Rd., between Rossland Road and Hwy. 2, Ajax. Spectators are welcome without charge. Football peewee Dolphins clip Etobicoke Eagles’ wings Devoe is de-man for Canada Junior basketball Canucks crush Nigeria, fall back to earth with loss to Turkey PICKERING — Pickering High School Trojans’ guard Devoe Jo- seph’s been integral performer thus far for Canada’s junior men’s team at the FIBA U19 World Bas- ketball Championships. Played in Novi Sad, Serbia, the world championships features 16 of the top basketball nations, with Canada playing in Group ‘C’ with Turkey, Australia and Nigeria. After a solid and impressive 82-60 victory over Nigeria on Thursday, the Canadi- ans fell back to earth on Friday, suffering a 81-58 loss to Turkey. The Canadians played Australia, unbeaten at 2-0 in Group ‘C’ play, on Saturday, with the result un- available at press time. Devoe Joseph and backcourt brother Cory each scored eight points in Friday’s loss to Turkey. Devoe went 1-for-5 in two-point field goals and 1-for-6 from three- point range. He also had seven rebounds and dished two assists. Meanwhile, Cory Joseph, in only 13 minutes of work, went 2-for-2 from three-point land and was 1- for-1 in two-point field goals. He also collected a rebound and a steal. In Thursday’s victory over Nige- ria, Devoe was a one-man scoring machine, chalking up a game-high 33 points in Canada’s opener at the world championships. He ac- complished his 33-point effort on 52-per cent shooting (7-for-15 in two-point field goals; 6-for-10 from three-point range). Devoe also grabbed five boards and dished two assists in 32 min- utes of work. Cory had no points while playing only one minute against Nigeria. Canada was out-rebounded by Nigeria 53-43, but their superb shooting (45.7 per cent) compared to Nigeria’s (28.7 per cent) was the difference maker.

Another year has passed And we are missing you so very much. Our house feels so empty; As you were the pillar of our home. We miss your smile, your advice, Your love, your caring. We miss your intelligence, your direction, They say time heals; The healing has yet to start. Everytime we turn around We see you. So many things have happened Since you have been gone; So many things to share with you, Had you been able to stay. Life seemed to mean so much before, Dad, our thoughts are of you Since you have passed on. Those who loved you are thinking of you today. How we miss the welcoming way You used to greet us all, We will always and forever thank you For the honorable name and integrity You left behind, For the way you taught us to respect, love, And care for all, young, old, rich and poor In our hearts & thoughts every second of the day God Bless You Endless love from your wife and family AIR CONDITIONING from $1595.
