The Pickering By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The public has a chance to sound off about future growth in Durham at a public meet- ing on the Region’s preferred growth scenario, which would focus on re- inforcing existing communities. Durham is working on conform- ing its official plan to the Province’s growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the area ringing Lake Ontario from Niagara to Durham. The preferred option would look at balancing growth in ex- isting com- munities and put employ- ment growth along the fu- ture Hwy. 407 expansion. The Re- gion’s plan- ning commit- tee considered two other scenarios, one that would focus growth in Pickering and west Whitby and one focusing on a central hub, with the largest share of growth in Whitby and Oshawa. Residents get a chance to have their say on the preferred scenario at a public information session from 6 to 9 p.m. on June 25 at Regional Headquarters (Room LL-C). The first hour is an open house format where residents can ask questions and comment on the scenario. It’s to be followed by a formal presenta- tion and question-and-answer ses- sion. At a planning committee meeting earlier this month, and at Regional council this week, councillors en- dorsed the preferred scenario. However, there are some con- cerns, specifically with employment lands. Regional Chairman Roger An- derson has often said he opposes the Province’s plan of one job in Durham for every three residents. He wants to see that change to a job for every two. He also advocated focusing em- ployment lands along the 407 as much as possible, including along links to Hwy. 401 through Whitby and Clarington. “I think we have an opportunity on these interchanges to do some really impressive things,” Mr. Ander- son said at the planning commit- tee meeting. “Who knows, maybe the Province of Ontario will see the light and build an office there.” As well, Brock Councillor John Grant raised concerns that there’s a severe shortage of developable industrial lands in his township and some of the lands slugged as employment lands are unservice- able because it would mean run- ning water and sewer pipes through rock. He’s concerned about even the small amount of growth slated for Brock. “I don’t understand where they’re going to work, unless you consider Oshawa or Whitby local employ- ment. It’s a 70- to 80-kilometre commute every day, one way,” he said. For more information on the growth plan, visit www.region.dur- ham.on.ca/growthplan.

Six tenders were ap- proved by the Durham District School Board dur- ing its June 16 meeting – including one for the un- named Meadows of Ajax public school. The other projects are additions to meet the education min- istry’s primary class-size reduction requirements of 20 students to one teacher per class. The Meadows school contract was awarded to Percon Construction Inc. for almost $9 million plus GST. The school will have two storeys, 58,816 square feet and a 535-student ca- pacity. Its total cost is al- most $11 million. Pickering’s Altona For- est Public School will get another 5,688 square feet and 82 pupil places from the addition to be built by Everstrong Construction at more than $1 million. The project includes four class- rooms and a mechanical room. The total price tag is about $1.5 million. In Scugog, Pre-Eng Con- tracting Ltd. will build a 9,870-square-foot addition to Cartwright Central Pub- lic School for more than $2.9 million. The one-sto- rey addition will contain seven classrooms, a me- chanical and academic re- source room. The change will increase the school’s capacity from 326 to 452 pupils. The mechani- cal system and control system replacement is a Good Places to Learn proj- ect. Two underground oil storage tanks will also be removed as the school is outfitted for natural gas service. The school is also getting a 20-space parking lot and modifications to its boiler room. The total proj- ect cost is $3.8 million. At Winchester Pub- lic School in Whitby, the 13,483-square-foot, two- storey addition will be built by Torcom Construc- tion Inc. for $2.4 million. The project includes eight classrooms, a mechani- cal room, 11 new parking spaces and will increase the school’s capacity to 632 from 460. Its total cost is $3 million. Also in Whitby, the ten- der award for the Bellwood Public School addition went to Gerr Construction Ltd. for $1.37 million. The total cost is $1.8 million and the 7,086 square-foot- addition includes four classrooms, a mechanical room and an academic re- source room. The change will increase the school’s capacity from 266 to 352 students.

The student public health inspector collected samples of water from Lake Ontario at the beach in Whitby on Tuesday. “We’ll test this for E. coli,” Mr. Chaimovitz said. Each week, water from 15 beaches in Durham Re- gion is tested for the bacte- ria. “We collect five samples to make sure the tests are accurate,” said Mike Pitt- man, senior public health inspector. The results of the tests determine whether the water is safe for swim- ming. If the water sample tests negative for E. coli, the beach is given the all- clear for people to dive in. The region starts sam- pling at the beginning of June and continues throughout the summer.“ Usually the beaches are fine at the beginning of the season,” Mr. Pittman said. “As we progress through the season, as the water temperature warms up, you’ll see more and more of the local beaches posted as unsafe for swimming.” In recent weeks every beach in the region passed the test. But that didn’t seem to entice people to swim in Lake Ontario. “There definitely is a stigma attached with it,” Whitby resident Jennifer MacLean said. She hasn’t been swim- ming in the lake since she was a kid. Now that she has two children of her own, she isn’t so sure she’d let them take a dip. “I’d definitely want to make sure it was being tested regularly and make sure it was clean.” Oshawa resident Cath- erine Gardhouse is confi- dent with the Region’s test results. “When they tell you it isn’t good, I don’t go in it, but when they say it is, I think it really is safe.” Mr. Pittman said the only time you should disregard the beach postings is after a big rainstorm.“ You shouldn’t go swim- ming for up to 48 hours after a lot of rain,” Mr. Pittman said. “The prob- lem with a heavy rainfall event is the rain washes through the storm water system and ends up in Lake Ontario and carries a lot of animal waste and dirt from your driveway . . . and that causes elevated E. coli levels.”For up to date beach water test results, log on to newsdurhamre- gion.com each Friday.

He sent the News Advertiser his daily reflections. Here are some of his reports: Day 1 I began to understand what our Cana- dian Forces’ soldiers experience for much longer periods of time. If I am worried about losing contact for a week, imagine how hard a long-term de- ployment must be. As an MP, it is hard being away from your loved ones during the week; but to be thou- sands of miles away and often in very dan- gerous places, with worried family missing you, well, that must be very hard indeed. I asked Neil and many other sailors I spoke to about this. They said that it was tough but that their work was their passion, and they had supportive families that un- derstood the importance of what they were doing. Day 2 Running on a treadmill on a ship at sea proved to be a challenge. We’ve been lucky with relatively calm seas, so I didn’t think much of it when I punched in my information and started up the treadmill. Once running, however, it was all I could do to stay on the track. The ship made a sharp turn and I nearly flew off the side; then the ship dipped back and I almost flew off backwards; and when the ship lurched forward, I banged into the bar... you get the idea. Moreover, as space is so limited, treadmills and stationary bikes are put in larger open- ings in the hallways. But even in these larger openings, there are only a few inches clearance above your head, as you stare at electrical boxes on the wall while you run. Day 3 Later in the afternoon, we switched to airborne or liquid biological and chemical threats and nuclear response exercises. I met with the ship’s Chief, who took me down to their marshalling point in the event that such a threat was detected. I was fitted into a bio-hazard suit and had a gas mask put over my head. I immediately panicked a bit as I couldn’t get any air. As it turns out, I couldn’t breathe because I hadn’t removed one of the apparatus’s cov- ers. The bio-hazard suit was enormously hot and breathing through the gas mask, even with covers off, was very difficult and made me feel light-headed. In a chemical, biological or nuclear attack, sailors would have to stay in these suits for upwards of eight hours - working and drinking in the incredibly uncomfortable suit. I was just in one for 45 minutes, running through procedures in slow motion, and it was nearly unbearable. Read Mr. Holland’s full reports at www. markholland.ca.

A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 22, 2008 durhamregion.com GM workers are spoiled To the editor: I was wondering why the red shirts say ‘Made in Canada Matters’, when at least 60 per cent of the parts that go into all the GM cars and trucks assembled in Canada are from all over the world including Mexico, Brazil and the U.S. -- even from Korea. GM workers want to put the blame for their problems on other vehicle brands but a person has the right to wear what she wants, eat what she wants and to buy and drive what she wants. If employees want more GM cars to sell, take a pay cut and maybe GM could drop its prices and people would buy GM vehicles. The only people who can afford to buy GM are GM workers. I work for $8 per hour and I drive a Honda. I work harder in one day than a line worker works in five days. GM work- ers are spoiled. Lori Bardowell Ajax J ust as the Durham Catholic District School Board wrapped up its pupil accommodation review with a decision to close five Oshawa schools, the public board announced it’s starting the same process in Whitby. Up for chopping block review are Flor- ence M. Heard, Leslie McFarlane and Palmerston Avenue public schools. Three other schools will also be the focus of the accommodation committee for program and enrolment purposes: Captain Michael VandenBos, Jack Miner and Pringle Creek public schools. The schools that might close are deemed in need of major repairs, lack accessibility and space for programs. Unfortunately, school closures are an unavoidable trend that comes with enrol- ment decline. Like grandma’s house, we develop strong attachments to schools that stay with us long after we’ve grown up. Even after moving away from Clarington, I still found myself upset to hear that enrol- ment was extremely low at my childhood public school in Orono, knowing what it could eventually mean. Newtonville Public School stood empty for the past academic year before it was recently announced it was closing. Its 46 students were dispersed to Orono and Newcastle; if they had stayed in Newtonville, they would have been put in triple grades. The scenario is one parents should remember as the Durham District School Board starts its process. Unfortunately, under funding formulas, empty seats mean less money for school boards. “In fact they become a liability to the sys- tem,” said Paul Pulla, the Catholic board’s education director. The Catholic board in a six-kilometre radius had 11 Oshawa schools serving a population smaller than Whitby or Ajax, where there are only seven or eight, said Mr. Pulla. If they hadn’t closed any of the schools, the board would have a 55-per cent utilization rate in Oshawa. There’s no doubt, as the public board reviews and makes its final decisions on which schools will be leaving us, there will be some pretty emotional people. But, parents must remember, although a small school offers some conveniences, in the long run students are short-changed. In a school with significant enrolment declines, the amount of split grades increases, supervision becomes difficult, and maintenance and support staff are harder to afford. They also miss out on enrichment programs bigger schools can offer. Other schools essentially have to subsi- dize these small schools, taking away from all students in general. Parents should prepare themselves for the upcoming deci- sions, participate in the process and, in the end, put their emotions aside and really examine what’s healthiest for their child’s academic and social career. Anyone with an opinion on the topic should take part in the accommodation review. The process includes at least four public meetings for people to get and give feedback, and everyone is able to attend the 14 accommodation review committee’s working meetings as observers. They can provide their comments and questions through e-mail and voice mails throughout the process as well. The first working committee meeting is June 25. A decision based on the commit- tee’s findings is scheduled for May 2009. For more meeting dates and times, visit www.durham.edu.on.ca. Crystal Crimi’s column appears every third Sunday.

School closings on horizon Thinking about food at the News Advertiser Join us in an early summer drive We’re always interested in a story, but this time we’re asking the residents of Ajax and Pickering to help us avoid writing one. The story most often presents itself in August or September, when we’re con- tacted by a representative of one or more of our local food banks who says the shelves are virtually bare. While Easter, Thanksgiving and Christ- mas food drives are often a great success in these parts, many of us forget that the need exists all year long, including the summertime. The food banks want our help to remind the community of this fact and we’re happy to do what we can to raise awareness. This year, we’re going to try and be pro- active and need your help. A staff member suggested a food drive as the summer gets underway and we all thought it was a great idea. The editorial department in Ajax and Pickering, begin- ning this week, is going to spend a month in our office gathering as much food as we can, also encouraging our colleagues in the sales and circulation departments to pitch in. We’ll donate what we collect to the St. Paul’s on the Hill Food Bank in Pickering, which co-operates with other local churches and service groups to help those in need throughout Pickering and Ajax. While we can’t accept food donations at the News Advertiser office, we encour- age residents to give a thought to those in our community who must visit food banks and have their own food drive at home. And, while it’s perfectly acceptable to raid your own cupboard for things like canned fruit, beans and the like, you are encouraged to double up when you go shopping as well. We mean that if you buy a jar of peanut butter or some pasta, double your purchase and donate half to the food bank. Food bank co-ordinator Rae Coulter says demand hasn’t gone up, but it hasn’t gone down either. The recent Rotary Ribfest was a boon as a lot of donations were collected. However more food is always needed. She listed sugar, tea, cof- fee, canned fruit, flour, snacks for kids and peanut butter as priority items. And, as the price of rice continues to climb, donations would be most welcome. Residents can make their donations at any grocery store in Pickering and at the two Sobey’s in Ajax. Crystal Crimi Ajax Councillor Colleen Jordan ‘disappointed’ By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Regional councillors took a pass on asking upper levels of government to ban food and beverage ads aimed at kids. Ajax Councillor Colleen Jordan brought the issue back to council on Wednes- day after a procedural rule meant it couldn’t be con- sidered the last time she raised it. This time, council de- feated her motion 15-10. Coun. Jordan said she’s concerned the issue of obese and overweight chil- dren is becoming a health crisis. Statistics Canada es- timates a third of children are considered overweight and about half of those kids are considered obese. “We have to counter the $12 billion that’s spent ad- vertising junk food to chil- dren,” she said, referring to the money spent on adver- tising in the United States. The figures for Canada are harder to come by. Places like Quebec, Swe- den and Norway prohibit all advertising aimed at children. Oshawa Coun. Joe Kolodzie said he was pleased to support the mo- tion and pointed to the re- cent tobacco display ban as being in a similar vein. But fellow Oshawa Coun. April Cullen voted against the motion. She said it should be up to parents to ensure kids are healthy and active. “Turn off the TV, get the kids out of the house and they’ll be a lot better off,” she said. Coun. Cullen added childhood obesity has been linked to poverty. “Some of them are reli- ant on food banks, so they don’t get the proper nutri- tion,” she said. In the end, more coun- cillors agreed with Coun. Cullen. Coun. Jordan said she was disappointed by coun- cil’s decision and thinks it should be advocating on the issue. “We are the public health unit for Durham Region, so it is a public health issue and it does fall under our mandate.” However, her efforts weren’t completely fruit- less, Ajax council endorsed the ad ban earlier this year.

The Happiest Children The Happiest Providers As the school year comes to an end, it means the inevitable arrival of report cards. Report card time is recognized as one of the most stressful times for families—mostly because of the element of the unknown. To alleviate the report card stress, Oxford Learning offers these fi ve tips to help families get through this stressful time. • Make sense of what the report card is really telling you. Understand the meaning of the marks and read the comments written by the teacher. These comments can give you a better idea of how your child is performing overall. • Request a Parent-Teacher Conference. If less-than stellar grades have you worried, speaking with the teacher can help. Often, they can paint a better picture of where your child is headed academically. • Put it in context. Some school years are more challenging than others. Certain grades are transition years, such as the fi rst year of high school, or the move into middle school. These are challenging to all students, regardless of their academic abilities. • Go to the Source. If your child’s report card contains some surprises, ask the one per- son who would knows best: your child. But before you do, identify the subjects that are the biggest concerns and address those when you sit down together. Remember you and your child are allies in education, not enemies. • Take Action NOW. A weak report card can be a serious roadblock to opportunities for the future. But it doesn’t have to be. Parent don’t have to wait until the school year begins again to get their children back on track. The report card is a red fl ag, don’t ignore it. Visit www.oxfordlearning.com or call Oxford today in Pickering 420-3141 or Ajax 683- 6660 to see how we can make this a summer to remember for your children, with better grades in the fall.

When you can’t breathe, nothing else matters.™i Life and Breath: Respiratory Disease in Canada; Public Health Agency of Canada, 2004 CLEAN AIR COMMUTE WEEK – JUNE 2008 How Does Smog Affect Health? Ozone is a powerful respiratory irritant. Typical short termTypical short term symptoms of over-exposure include: tightness of the chest, coughing, wheezing, pain and breathing difÀculty. It can also cause a worsening of asthma symptoms. “There is valid concern for the long term effect of repeated exposures to even moderate concentrations of smog over time,” says Brian Stocks, Air Quality Manager for the Ontario Lung Association. Health effects from smogcan vary. Sources of irritants can include vehicle exhaust, diesel soot, industrial emissions, agricultural emissions and emissions from residential burning of wood. Depending upon the size of the particle, it can penetrate deeply into the lungs. Repeated and long term exposure to elevated concentrations of Àne particulate matter has been linked to cardiac and respiratory disease. High Risk Individuals Some individuals are more at risk than others. An individual’s age and general health can have an impact, as well as the type and length of exposure. Those who may be at a higher risk include the elderly, people with chronic heart disease, lung disease or asthma; young children and teens; people who are active outdoors; and outdoor workers. Smog and health impacts Sensitive individuals may feel health effects sooner than most, and before a smog advisory is issued. If taking medication for a cardiac or respiratory illness, including asthma, follow your health care action plan carefully. If breathing becomes more difÀcult, contact your healthcare provider or go to the nearest Hospital Emergency Department. Rural areas can also experience high smog episodes. Always keep enough medication on hand, and before you go away, discuss with your doctor your action plan for managing your condition during high smog episodes. Know the location of the nearest Emergency Department. Monitor Air Quality A new method of advising people of the health risks of air pollution is currently being tested in the GTA. Known as the Air Quality Health Index, it calculates the combined risk of air pollutants and relates them to a 1 - 10 health risk scale. People are encouraged to learn how a particular number affects them on any given day, in order to plan ahead when that number is forecasted for the next day. Visit The Lung Association’s Air Quality page at www.on.lung.ca to check the current smog conditions in your area, or to sign up for smog alerts by email. Summer Smog Strategies Smog can make breathing difÀcult. For some, it can even be deadly. Learn how to keep yourself safe and healthy this summer with information from The Lung Association.

DRT passengers connecting to or from GO Train and/or GO Bus service at Rouge Hill, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa GO Train Stations are eligible for co-fare. Co-Fare savings are available in cash fare, 10 ride tickets ($6.25) and monthly passes ($25.00). Enjoy considerable savings, a comfortable ride, with no more parking hassles or long hike to the station. A valid GO fare must be presented on DRT Bus upon boarding, and Co-Fare is not accepted on the GO Train or GO Bus. Public Transit Facts: The use of a single large diesel-powered bus in place of 50 automobiles, could reduce air pollution by 10 to 25 times. A diesel-powered bus is up to 15 times more energy efÀcient during peak travel, on a passenger per kilometre basis. It produces 75% less nitrogen oxide, 95% less carbon dioxide and 98% less hydrocarbons than an automobile. Public Transit provides efÀcient use of space and energy and is far less costly than developing and maintaining new roads. Some of the direct beneÀts include savings in trafÀc management and policing and increased parking availability. Public Transit contributes to the growth and vitality of downtown areas and other major activity centres, by providing affordable transportation to the community at large.

Pickering was named Canada’s leading municipality in sustainable planning for 2008 at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) 71st Annual Conference and Municipal Expo. The Quebec City conference was from May 29 to June 2 and honoured Pickering with the CH2M HILL Sus- tainable Community Award, which recognizes planning - or a munici- pality’s long-term vision - that dem- onstrates environmental excellence. All members of council and Mayor Dave Ryan accepted the award before 2,100 conference delegates. The mayor said in a press release the City is thrilled and honoured for its reward. “Being rec- ognized as one of the country’s foremost sustain- ability leaders will empower the City to reach out and engage a broader and more di- verse audience with our sustainabil- ity message,” he said. “We embarked on this journey to become the most sustainable com- munity in North America, and this award affirms the progress we are making.” Coun. Dickerson agrees. “It’s the only award given for that,” he said. “We hope it spurs us on to maybe get a few more.” He, along with Ward 1 City Coun. Jennifer O’Connell and Ward 3 City Coun. David Pickles, sits on the Sus- tainable Pickering Advisory Commit- tee. All three are determined to help Pickering remain a leader in sustain- ability. They also believe the federal and provincial governments have to provide more funding for sustainable initiatives. Coun. Dickerson said FCM repre- sentatives spoke to him and the City’s director of the office of sustainability, Tom Melymuk, about possibly featur- ing Pickering as a model in sustain- ability. Doug Dickerson A modern vehicle’s fuel system consists of: gas tank, fuel supply line, gas filter, injectors or throttle body, pressure regulator, fuel return line, and a vapor line. Here is a brief description of each component: Gas Tank: holds the gas and houses the fuel pump. Fuel Pump: Delivers gas (under pressure) to the injectors. Also keeps the fuel in continuous circulation to prevent air or vapor locks. Gas Filter: Filters all the fuel in circulation, though should not cause any flow restriction. Injector: Delivers the gas right at the valves, in a fine atomized spray pattern. Fuel Pressure Regulator: Controls the fuel pressure to the required operating pressure, by dumping the extra fuel back to the tank, via the return line, thus maintaining the contunious flow. A Clogged Gas Filter: *Restricts the gas flow *Causes starvation *Causes pump overloading and consequently shortens its life *May cause hard starting, especially after a long sitting.

Born in Scot- land and start- ing soccer at age five with the DYCE Boys Club, Connon later emigrated with his family to Canada as an eight year old in 1999, living in Ajax for the past nine years and playing at the rep level for the Ajax Soc- cer Club during those years. In September, he’s headed back to Ding- wall, near the city of In- verness, Scot- land, to begin his professional soccer career. The 17-year-old signed a two- year deal with Ross County FC of the Scottish 1st Division. Connon will train full- time with the club’s under-19 team, part of Ross County’s youth academy called the Highland Football Academy. The academy is recognized as one of the top soccer academies in the UK, on par with traditional Scottish soc- cer powerhouses Celtic FC and the Glasgow Rangers. The Grade 11 student at Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School is ready to make the switch back to his native land for soccer. “I’m excited, but I’m also a little nervous,” he admits. His mother, Louise, says it’s ironic her son is headed back to Scotland after the family moved lock, stock and soccer ball to Canada. “He’s more Canadian than he is Scottish. We came over here in 1999 to give them good lives here and here he is going back.” she says with a laugh. The centre midfielder with the Ajax Admirals boys’ under-17 OYSL (Ontario Youth Soccer League) team spent two weeks in Scotland over March break training with Ross County FC. He had trained with the club previously during the summer of 2007. At the end of last summer’s train- ing session, academy director Dave Kirkwood and Director of Football George Adams advised that he work on his skills and come back. He returned on the March break and admitted he was better pre- pared for the pace of the camp. “When I went there last summer it was a big jump. The pace was tougher. In March, I expected it to be tougher and faster and I worked on my game, so I knew what to ex- pect.” Liam had previously been invited for training at Newcastle, Glasgow Rangers, Aberdeen and Millwall when he was younger, after first being scouted by Eddie Edgar of Kitchener, the father of David Edgar who plays for Newcastle United and Canada’s under-20 team. Connon credits his speed coach, Tony D’Oliveria, for helping him develop the speed that had eluded him in his previous trip to Scotland. For the summer, Connon says he plans to continue to play with the Ajax Admirals in OYSL. So far, the team is off to a slow start, with a 0-3- 1 record in the early going. He’ll move to Scotland in late June to start pre-season training in early July. In August, he’ll begin play with the Ross County U19s in the SFL (Scottish Football League), one level below the Scottish Premier League. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Ajax’s Liam Connon is headed back to his native Scotland to play professional soccer for Ross County FC of the Scottish 1st Division. Connon was offered a two-year professional contract after a March Break visit. Story notes Liam Connon will live in Ross County-owned houses; he’ll live with three other team members during the season...Ross County has a solid reputation for develop- ing excellent players and have already transferred two youth players to Liverpool FC this season... As a member of the Ross County U19s, he’ll serve as an appren- tice and all that entails. It could mean clean- ing the change rooms and cleaning boots for members of the club’s Scot- tish 1st Division team... DURHAM — The West Durham Patriots went on the attack from the opening draw en route to a 9-5 victory over the Shelburne Vets in Ontario Junior ‘C’ Lacrosse League action at the Pickering Recreation Complex recently. The Patriots built a commanding 6-1 lead after the first period and, came out for the second and third periods determined to play tough defence and succeeded, giving up only four goals to Shelburne. Patriots’ scoring was balanced with eight different players notch- ing goals. Kenny Burst led with two goals; Mike Hart had three assists. Once again, affiliated players from the West Durham midgets and intermediates played an important role with the Patriots having a few regulars out of the lineup. Goaltender Jason Armstrong got his first home win and third of the season. The Patriots host Shelburne again on Monday, June 23 at the complex at 8 p.m. Patriots return to winning ways in junior ‘C’ lacrosse action &2%%TRAININGFOR73)"%)3OCIAL!SSISTANCE n!:3PECIALFROM n"#$FROM n&ORKLIFT,ICENSING -INISTRY!PPROVED +INGSTON2D0ICKERING/. +).'34/.425#+$2)6).'3#(//, Drive the future.

Playing the KNSC Lions in the final, the Spitfires battled the Lions to a scoreless tie in regulation. The contest then proceeded to sudden-death overtime. Both teams had several chances to end the contest, but the 20 minutes of extra time resolved noth- ing, meaning penalty kicks would decide the champi- onship. It wasn’t until a miss from the fifth Spitfire shooter that the momentum swung over to the KNSC Lions. A goal by the Lions’ final shooter and they would be cham- pions. Spitfires goalkeeper Carmelo Cammisuli, how- ever, wasn’t ready to go home just yet. After making an incredible save on the KNSC Lions’ fifth shooter, both teams were forced to alternate shooters to decide a winner. On the sixth shooter, the PSC Spitfires scored again, putting pressure on the Lions shooter to keep pace. Cammisuli made another big save to his left, sealing the tourney crown. Cammisuli later earned most valuable player hon- ours for the final. The PSC Spitfires faced the Weston Wolves in the semifinals. Once again, the PSC Spitfires proved too much for the Wolves and came away with a 3-1 win. Miles Campbell, Roberts and Andreou scored. In preliminary play, the Spitfires posted a 2-1 record to advance to the semifi- nals. In Game 1, Pickering scored a 4-2 victory over Glen Shields, which is cur- rently ranked 11th in the age group in Ontario. After fall- ing behind 2-0, the Spitfires roared back to score four unanswered goals. Jordan Roberts, Alex Costa, An- dreas Andreou, and Joseph Roccasalva were the goal scorers. In Game 2, the Spitfires downed the Weston Wolves 5-1. Roberts scored a hat trick, while Andreou added two. In their final preliminary contest, the Spitfires battled hard, but dropped a 1-0 de- cision to the KNSC Lions. It represented the third time this season Pickering had lost to the Lions by that score. The Spitfires, which play in the Central Soccer League’s Premier Division, have had a great start to the 2008 season. Pickering won the first two games of the CSL schedule while outscor- ing their opponents 16-0. Team members are Alex Cuccovillo, Brandon Burn- side, Brandon Lajko (ab- sent due to injury), Nathan Brown, Joel Dow-Leo, Se- bastien Lee, Daniel Lewis, Stefan Fabricius, Matthew Mashkoor, Andrew Polley and Connor Schmitt. Cor- rado Roccasalva coaches the team, assisted by Joe Costa. Cliff Schmitt is the manager. 3:%63)".4&$0/%" "DBEFNZ.JEEMF4DIPPM 46$$&44 #6*-%446$$&44 54& $FEBS4USFFU "KBY 0OUBSJP XXXEVSIBNTFDPOEBSZDPN "UILDING3UCCESS&OR9OUR#HILDS&UTURE 1SJWBUF4DIPPM(SBEFT SUMMER SCHOOL ~ JULY 2nd - AUG 1st For high school students looking to re-take a credit, improve a grade or simply get ahead.
