But her 15-year-old son, Chris (not his real name), has been robbed twice in just more than two months. “I’m scared for him,” Lucy said in an inter- view. “I’m frightened and I don’t like to feel that way.” The first robbery was on Friday, Nov. 14 at about 3 p.m., outside of Dunbarton High School. While walking alone to the bus, a group of four teens encircled him. One of them told Chris to empty his pockets while another threatened him and pulled the headphones off his head. “We move here and it’s happening in broad daylight in the busiest parts of Pickering,” Chris said, adding he wondered why no cars stopped to help. The second incident, on Friday, Jan. 23, was outside of the Pickering Recreation Complex. He and three female friends were leaving the rear of the building after skating at around 9 p.m. when a group of three teen- age boys began making rude comments to the girls. Chris and his friends ignored them, but the group chased them and caught up, asking Chris if he had anything in his pock- ets. He said ‘no’, but they spotted the cord to his MP3 player and asked him to hand it over. When Chris refused, one of the boys flashed a “gold knife with a big blade” at him. “Then he demanded me to take it out,” he said, adding he later reported it to Durham Regional Police. Detective Dan McKinnon of the 19 Divi- sion Street Level Robbery Unit said the situ- ation is not unique since teens often carry expensive electronic devices. “The criminals at that age definitely use strength in numbers,” he said. “Very seldom is it a one-on-one confrontation.” Between 2007 and 2008, the amount of reported street-level robberies in Ajax and Pickering dropped by 34 per cent, he said. But many victimized teens don’t come for- ward “because they’re the ones that have to go to school every day...They have to walk the streets.” But if the suspect is charged, they’re re- quired to stay away from the victim, Det. McKinnon said. If they attend the same school, they’re expelled until the trial is over. They’ll also be put on probation, have to pay restitution for the stolen goods and can end up in a youth detention centre. Even though some offenders wear balacla- vas or bandanas to hide their faces, they’re still often caught. “They go to school here, they live here and they commit their crimes here,” Det. McKin- non said. “Those consistencies definitely help identify any suspects responsible for the robberies.” Meanwhile, Chris will try his best to leave his expensive gadgets at home. Anyone with information on such crimes or questions in general can call Det. McKin- non or Detective Constable Craig McInall at 905-579-1520, ext. 2565.

Shelter has already collected nearly $100,000 in monetary contributions By Parvaneh Pessian ppessian@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Public support for the Hu- mane Society of Durham Region (HSDR) is now on display for the world to see after the shelter landed one of the top spots in an online fundraising contest. American websites Care2.com and Adopt- a-Pet.com launched their second annual “America’s favourite animal shelter” compe- tition recently. A grand prize of $10,000 was promised to the shelter that received the most online votes and other amounts for the remaining top 20. Voting wrapped up on Jan. 31 with the HSDR taking fifth place after raking in 3,833 votes -- an effort that will be rewarded with a $500 donation. “They announced this contest and I thought I would get the word out about the need this shelter has and it was wonder- ful because people did respond to it,” said Mary Crow, an advocate for various causes through Care2.com. The Cobourg resident signed the HSDR up for the online petition after hearing about the mid-December fire at the Oshawa shelter that left nearly 200 animals dead and the building destroyed. “It just broke my heart for those people,” she said. “Especially when they knew there were problems that were existing and they were trying to get out of that building to start with.” The site was one of hundreds of shelters across Canada and the U.S. that entered the race. Others include Boxer Rescue Ontario in Ajax, Clarington Animal Shelter, Camp Lotsa Dogs in Oshawa, Chance Wildlife Sanctuary in Pickering and the Uxbridge-Scugog Ani- mal Control Centre. The prize will add to a slew of donations that have already been poured into the shel- ter since the blaze through numerous fund- raising events. “It’s been great, the numbers of people who have been coming forward to express their support for everything that we’re doing,” shelter manager Ruby Richards said, adding she doesn’t know exactly how much has been raised thus far but the total is near $100,000. Most of the funding will go to rebuilding the shelter but some of it has been used to support veterinary bills for newly arriving animals. The total number of animals currently under care of shelter staff sits at about 50 including at least 30 cats and 10 dogs.

Mr. Buckley said he ex- pects to sit down with GM representatives this week. The union will be look- ing for guarantees GM will maintain a presence in Canada if they make chang- es to the existing contract to save the company cash, he said. “GM must commit to a Canadian footprint.” Oshawa Mayor John Gray said it’s too early to jump to conclusions, saying there is a lot of “noise and postur- ing” going on behind the scenes. The comments come in the wake of gloomy sales news from the auto giant. On Monday, General Mo- tors released Canadian sales figures for January. Vehicle sales were down 46.6 per cent compared to the same month in 2008. The union knows the sit- uation is dire and they are going to put their “best foot forward” in talks with GM. But the situation is unfair to the workers the CAW rep- resents, Mr. Buckley said. “It’s not about members’ wages, benefits and pen- sions,” he said. In a news release, the CAW said talks would be aimed at ensuring labour costs at the Canadian plants of the three companies re- main competitive with the companies’ U.S. plants. “We have consistently indicated the CAW will be part of the solution,” CAW national president Ken Lewenza said. “But the workers could work for free and it wouldn’t make any difference without a broad- er national strategy to ad- dress this industry’s deeper problems.” The CAW has approximately 8,500 active members in Oshawa, Mr. Buckley said. Last week the CAW mas- ter bargaining committee gave the union permission to engage in extraordinary contract talks. In order for a tentative deal to be reached conditions will have to be met including ratification votes and participation by the companies in a finan- cial assistance agreement with the federal and On- tario governments. The CAW resolution said it will require that compa- nies make commitments regarding their future pres- ence in Canada and a com- prehensive National Auto Strategy to address what the CAW said are “huge trade imbalances between North America and the rest of the world.” These demands might be an issue, auto analyst Dennis DesRosiers said. “Face it folks, Canada is a fly on the wall in the bailout of the Detroit 3,” said the head of DesRosiers Auto- motive Consultants Inc in an e-mail. “The heavy lift- ing is going to be in the U.S. and the U.S. political agenda is going to drive the equation, not the Canadian agenda.” Wherever...Whenever Please check out our website for courses offered: www.elearningdurham.com *Courses are subject to suffi cient enrolment • Courses available 24/7 • Courses not available at your school • Earn credits toward a high school diploma • Courses offered by qualifi ed Ontario teachers • Courses meet Ontario curriculum expectations • Accommodates shift work schedules Semester 2 begins February - June 2009 WE’VE GOT YOUR SIZE Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING COMFORT FROM ITALY YOUR CASINO TOUR SPECIALISTS!

That is why you must remain vigilant and catch any sign that forewarns of academic diffi culties. The reaction of a parent to a child’s learning diffi culties can help the child overcome them more quickly. You must understand the needs of your child and the desired results in order to select the best method of assistance. First, determine when your child started having problems: only this year or for more than a year? The older the problems, the more the student will require regular support. Besides, if a helping hand is all that is needed, the student doesn’t necessarily need to resort to a method that requires intensive work. The extent of a child’s learning diffi culties is also based on the number of subjects involved. Does it apply to only one subject or many? Does it involve courses that require greater effort in concentration, such as mathematics and physics, or disciplines where written expression plays a primary role, like grammar and history? Then, examine your child’s report card and compare his or her average to the class average. Finally, meet with the teacher. To clearly identify the nature of your child’s learning diffi culties, don’t hesitate to discuss the situation with the teacher or tutor.

The six-year plan was developed after consultation with councillors, Region staff, local businesses and the public. This included public forums and a phone survey of 800 residents, said Pau- line Reid, a policy and research advisor for the Region at a recent finance commit- tee meeting. Ms. Reid said five themes emerged through the discussions: the need to pro- mote a vibrant local economy; protect- ing and enhancing the environment; bal- anced growth and sustainable communi- ties; promoting safe, healthy and inclusive communities; and, enhancing partner- ships through service excellence. Guiding all that is the need to preserve the quality of life in Durham for future generations. “What we do today must not negatively affect the future,” said Ms. Reid at the meeting. This is likely the first time sustainability has been formally included in Durham’s strategic plan, said Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce, who chaired the steering commit- tee that developed the plan. Now that it’s approved, each of the Region’s departments will have to come up with actions that support the plan’s objectives. Mayor Pearce sees a focus on economic diversification. “A diversification that will be certainly more focused on energy, a knowledge- based economy ... you’re seeing the growth of Durham College and UOIT,” she said. The agricultural sector will be a key focus as well. “That’s flowing out of the need for a local food strategy,” she said. This may include a requirement that a certain percentage of food in Region nursing homes and day cares be locally grown. The balanced growth portion of the plan advocates intensification instead of urban sprawl. Mayor Pearce said no municipality wants more sprawl. “Our goal is to stay within our built boundaries and look at the density issue.” As well, Durham will focus on a better communication strategy.

The urgency to build an airport, at all costs to the environment, agricultural and other potential sustainable and economical options for the ‘vacant’ land in north Pickering, is scary. Building an airport will create initial employ- ment in building, but beyond that, with mechanization and technology, there still wouldn’t be a huge numbers of jobs. Unless of course from all sorts of other industrial and other employment oppor- tunities that would also need to locate on this vacant land. To do this, the people of Durham would be sacrificing all that gives it character. The clean rivers and forests will be lost. The biodiversity – all that the world is losing, exponentially, would soon fade away and become urban myth. All sorts of animals, plants, insects and fungi exist on this vacant land. In fact, there is a cacophony of nature that is now no lon- ger seen anywhere else in the entire GTA. All that is real. It is here now but it won’t be if this vacant land is plowed under and covered in concrete. Please, don’t rush to build an airport that would destroy what is left that I love. I miss the farms and forested valleys that existed in the southern Ontario of my youth. It has been replaced with high- ways and buildings and cars and most of the wild animals I see in the city are road kill. This is our National Geographic story, our environmental dilemma. Let the citizens of the GTA know that there is a treasure amongst their midst that can be lost if we let it go. Bernadette Zubrisky Agincourt Airport still ‘doesn’t make economic sense’ To the editor: Re: ‘It’s high time to build an airport in Pickering’, editorial, Jan. 23. In case the editor and Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson haven’t been pay- ing attention for the last 38 years, there are one or two glitches to be worked out before the Pickering airport is “shovel- ready.” Let’s start with the fact that the vast majority of people and ELECTED politi- cians in Ajax-Pickering are opposed – and with very good reason. It doesn’t make economic sense now any more than it did when it was first shelved. Quite frankly, until Mr. Anderson is elected to office, I am not interested in his opinion. Until then, I would rather hear from elected politicians who are look- ing into the future, those who care about foodland security, the environment and fresh air, rather than an unelected official who seems to be wearing blinders manu- factured back in the 1970s. Wake up to the reality of the future, Mr. Anderson. You don’t pave Class A farm- land to provide jobs to autoworkers who are out of work because GM also failed to see the writing on the wall. You grow food on farmland and you design automo- biles that don’t burn fossil fuels and pol- lute our air. Any Grade 5 student knows that...... Mary Delaney Pickering Human cost of airport too high To the editor: Whenever the subject of the proposed Pickering airport is raised again it is always with regard to how it will affect business growth and the region’s coffers. How about the daily impact this will have to the individuals in the area? With airplanes comes noise and pollution issues. Filter that down and you have allergies, sleep disorders and grumpy citizens young and old. Off we go to the doctor, if you even have one. We stop at the store on the way home to get fresh fruit and veggies. They are absurdly high priced because we can’t grow them locally. Oops, we paved over quite a bit of our prime farmland for an airport that was going to save us all. Then we decide to get away from it all and go on a nice vacation. Due to the air- line industries’ economic slump we are nickel and dimed about all the creature comforts that we used to take for granted on our flights. It is the little things in life that impact us the most.

While growth will continue apace, it’s heartening to see the draft plan’s inten- tion is that it be managed in such a way that the quality of life for residents here does not suffer. The new six-year plan has five prongs: to promote a vibrant economy; protect and enhance the environment; balance growth and sustainable communities; promote safe, healthy and inclusive communities; and, enhance partner- ships through service excellence. Sustainability reflects an interest in greener lifestyles and a more respon- sible attitude going forward. The draft plan was developed with input from Regional councillors, staff, local busi- nesses and through public forums and by way of a phone survey with 800 Dur- ham residents. So, it is fair to say that it does represent the views of a cross-sec- tion of Durham opinion. Sustainability is something we’ve had to learn about the hard way through the waste disposal process. Because we’ve had to find our way around the landfill process and learn to push harder to divert to blue box and green bin meth- ods, much more thought is being put into waste now than say, a decade ago. The same applies to any strategic plans we may apply to future development and growth. Durham residents have a right to expect a high quality of life with excel- lent services, top jobs, excellent and safe communities and a thriving econ- omy. We should demand that upper levels of government provide us with, dollar for dollar, the same standards of social services and health care as are provided across the province and across the country. This draft strategic plan indicates that local councillors, staff and citizens also realize the responsibility for making sure Durham remains clean, healthy and vibrant for decades to come is up to all of us. We must ensure that develop- ment and growth are orderly and, yes, sustainable and green so that we can all enjoy this place we call home.

Kirsten Schmidt-Chamber- lain spoke to Pickering council recently about the organization, mostly made up of volunteers, that provides palliative care - care for the terminally ill - and bereave- ment services to people and their families in Durham. Services are free and for people living at home, in the hospital, long-term care centres, retirement facilities and shelters. But the organization is missing something: a residential hospice. “We want a 10-bed residential hospice located in central Dur- ham,” Ms. Schmidt-Chamberlain said, adding it would serve all Dur- ham residents and the length of stay would be three months or less. It costs about $1,000 per day to care for a palliative care patient in a hospital bed, as opposed to $300 a day in a residential hospice, Ms. Chamberlain said. The ministry of health and long-term care in 2005 allocated $586,000 to support the costs of nursing and personal support workers in a residential hospice in Durham, but no capital money was given. Seventy-seven per cent of Durham Hospice’s funding comes from the Central East Local Health Integration Network (CE LHIN) and the rest comes from fundraising. Durham Hospice is urging people to write letters to the CE LHIN in support of operational funding. In Pickering, about 350 people die each year, 200 of them from a terminal illness. “With an estimated five people impacted by one death, at least 1,750 people are grieving in your community,” Ms. Schmidt-Cham- berlain said. So for the first time, Durham Hospice, in partnership with Com- munity Care Durham, is starting a bereavement support group in Pickering for those who have expe- rienced the loss of a loved one or friend. The group will meet every Tuesday starting Feb. 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. To register call 1-888-790- 9414. Durham Hospice recently set up a task force in order to find ways to establish the much-needed residential hospice. To help raise funds, the organization will host the Flying High gala and auction on Saturday, May 9 at the Enter- prise Air Hangar at the Oshawa Airport, which will feature airport tours and Luba Goy from The Royal Canadian Air Farce.

Lend a hand to those who may not be physically able to shovel or who may fi nd walking to the store or bus stop too treacherous because of the snow or ice • keep your children safe - don’t let them play in the snow piles or on the snow banks at the side of the road • when clearing snow, pile it on your property - it should not be shovelled onto the sidewalk or street • place your garbage containers and blue box on a cleared area - do not perch them on the top of snow piles • help prevent street fl ooding and icing by clearing snow away from storm sewer catchbasins. When the weather turns warmer and snow begins to melt it’s important that the runoff water gets into the storm sewer. If the catch basin is fully or partially covered by a build-up of snow and ice street fl ooding can occur. Should the thermometer dip again the street can become an ice rink A few things you can do to help yourself: • sometimes it takes several passes with the plow to completely clear the street. Wait until plowing is completed, and you will only have to shovel your driveway once • when you shovel your driveway, place the snow on the “downstream” (right side) so your driveway won’t be fi lled in the next time the plow comes by Things you can do to help the City crews: • observe snow by-laws • don’t park overnight on any City street • don’t push snow from a driveway or parking lot onto a City street or sidewalk • don’t park your vehicle at the end of your driveway in a way that would impede the City plow • to help prevent localized fl ooding, try to keep the catch basin adjacent to your property free from ice and snow • don’t place garbage or garbage containers where they can be buried, damaged or interfere with snow removal • avoid unnecessary spinning of tires at intersections. This practice is dangerous and is hazardous to other motorists. It also tends to “ice up” the intersections • avoid installing mail boxes where they can be damaged by plowing operations.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, February 4, 2009 PAGE 9 Pdurhamregion.com PICKERING — Police are warn- ing people to take extra care after a rash of “distraction thefts” and frauds over the past month in Pickering commercial parking lots. “It’s quite clever,” Durham Re- gional spokesman David Selby said. Victims say they’ve been ap- proached just after they enter their vehicles in large parking lots. A person approaches the victim’s ve- hicle window and attempts to get the victim to get out of his or her vehicle, under the pretense there are problems with the back end of the vehicle. While the victim is dis- tracted by the first person, a second goes into the vehicle and steels the victim’s wallet and other items. In two of the reported incidents, the victim’s credit cards were used at various nearby stores before the victim was even aware they’d been robbed. These types of thefts are more common in Toronto and York Re- gion, police say. The descriptions of the sus- pects vary, ranging from Hispanic to Middle Eastern to fair-skinned. Both men and women have been reported as culprits. It appears women shopping dur- ing daytime hours are more fre- quently targeted, police say. In a recent incident, a woman’s vehicle was blocked in by a suspect’s dark blue van. Police are reminding people to be extra vigilant under the circumstances. “If they think they are in the midst of a scam, lock the doors and call 911,” said Sergeant Nancy van Rooy, of Durham Regional Police.

Born and raised in Canada with a British sensibility passed down by her parents, the Uxbridge resident has always been intrigued by natu- ral scenes, gardens and landscapes, particularly Canadian and Scottish scenes. Getting her start in watercolours just eight years ago, Bunn quickly developed a passion for them. Driv- en by her affinity for the transpar- ency and lightness of the medium, she found it an ideal outlet to ex- press her love of gardens and floral imagery. “(Watercolours) have a glow to them no other medium can capture,” she says. Choosing to stay within a natural palette, Bunn opts for blues, browns and yellows with hints of red in the majority of her work. Mixing it up, she also works from basics to cre- ate the hues she needs, noting, “I like the steadfast ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, raw sienna and aliza- rin crimson. Most any colour I need can be made from them.” Another asset in her artistic arse- nal is her camera. “I love to photograph the places I visit and nature around me, even my own garden,” she says. “Some plac- es just inspire me to want to pull out my paint brushes and paint right then and there and that’s where the camera can come in handy if I don’t have time to sit and sketch.” Luckily, Bunn did find time to sit and create the works of art that are now on display at the McLean Centre as part of the PineRidge Arts Council’s Art in Public Places initia- tive. The PineRidge Arts Council is a non-profit organization that supports local artists and aims to develop appreciation for and in- volvement in the arts throughout the community. Bunn became a member of the group in order to find like-minded friends and partic- ipate in such events, adding, “join- ing a local arts group allows access to shows and events, while at the same time supporting fellow local artists.” The council seems happy to have her, too, as Bunn is the first art- ist of 2009 to show art at the McLean Centre. To check out Bunn’s pretty floral watercolours and landscape paint- ings, head to Ajax’s McLean Com- munity Centre at 95 Magill Dr. (at Westney Road) before Feb. 9. Ad- mission is free and the exhibit is open to the public Monday to Fri- day from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information about Di- anne Bunn and the PineRidge Arts Council, visit http://pineridgearts. org/.

After an impressive three wins in four games the weekend before, the Panthers hoped to duplicate that success in a three gamer this past weekend. But, success can be fleeting and that certainly applied to the sud- denly slumping Panthers, which dropped all three, including two one-sided losses to a potential play- off opponent. The Panthers finished the three- game-in-three-days set against the Bowmanville Eagles in Bowmanville on Sunday, losing 4-1 at the Garnett B. Rickard Recreation Complex. As has been the case in numer- ous games this season, the Panthers once again showed their inability on Sunday to bury their scoring chanc- es. Conversely, the Eagles capital- ized on their chances around the net. “I’m not going to say we should have beaten Bowmanville but, we did show up, we did compete and we did battle,” said Bill Brady, the Panthers’ head coach. “But, Bow- manville was better than we were. They took advantage of their oppor- tunities and we didn’t.” Despite the loss, the Bowman- ville game was more palatable to Brady than the Pickering juniors’ play during a home-and-home se- ries against the Peterborough Lift- lock Stars. Playing against a poten- tial first-round matchup, the Pan- thers were steamrolled by the Stars, scorching the Panthers 6-1 on home ice on Friday night and, to add insult to injury, crushed them 14-2 in Pe- terborough on Saturday. The Panthers’ play wasn’t up to snuff against a Peterborough team that outscored them 20-3 in the two- game set, said Brady, who’s hop- ing to put the losses behind them quickly. “Peterborough made a strong statement, so we need to re-group. The playoffs is a different season and if they’re the ones we meet, we’ll have to get together and re- group and come up with a plan to combat how they exploited us,” said Brady. Although Brady said he was sat- isfied, for the most part, with the team’s play in Friday night’s home loss to the Stars, the team capitu- lated in the return date in Peterbor- ough. “We didn’t compete. Defensively, we were atrocious, especially in front of our net. Our defence didn’t have a good day. We have to be much bet- ter with our play in front of our own net.” The final weekend of league play will ultimately decide where the Panthers (12-29, 3 OT wins, 2 OT losses, 1 shootout loss) will finish within the Ruddock Division. The Panthers host the first-place Kings- ton Voyageurs on Friday night at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. They end the season in Lindsay against the Muskies Sunday afternoon. The seventh-place Panthers need at least one win on the weekend to finish ahead of the eighth-place Whitby Fury, which have three games remaining. Pickering is cur- rently three points ahead of Whitby. Tri-Town Championship renamed Don Sanderson Cup DURHAM — The Tri-Town Championship involving the Ajax Attack, Pickering Panthers and Whitby Fury junior hockey teams will bear a new name this season to honour the memory of a fallen local hockey player. All three teams announced the Tri-Town Championship has been dedicated to the memory of Don Sanderson, and the tourna- ment has been renamed The Don Sanderson Cup. The Don Sanderson Cup is presented by Pickering Village Source for Sports. Sanderson died at age 21 on Jan. 2, as a re- sult of injuries suffered on the ice three weeks prior while playing with the Whitby Dunlops se- nior ‘A’ hockey club. Sanderson had close ties to the local hock- ey community, playing for the Whitby Dunlops and the Ajax At- tack junior ‘A’ club. The Don Sanderson Cup is a round-robin format, using the teams match-ups dur- ing the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s regu- lar-season schedule. It will be awarded to the winning franchise to keep for the following season. Should they retain the cup, it will remain in their pos- session. Should a new champion emerge, the Sanderson Cup will be presented to the new champions to hold for the year. The tournament celebrates the close professional rivalry the three neighboring communities have had in minor and junior hockey over the years and will take place every season. Currently, through 14 tourna- ment games, a mere one point separates all three teams in the extremely close competition. Fittingly, the Don Sanderson Cup will come down to a one- game, winner-take-all final this Thursday, Feb. 5, between the towns he played for: Ajax and Whitby. The game is being played at Iroquois Park Sports Centre (the same arena the Whitby Dun- lops compete in) at 7:30 p.m. Fallen player honoured by junior hockey teams Donald Sanderson AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Pickering Panther’s Jeff Broekema received a two-minute penalty after haul- ing down Bowmanville Eagles’ Brett Gilmour during Ontario Junior Hockey League action in Bowmanville on Sunday.

Scott Brown had the Panthers’ lone marker in Friday’s loss to Peterborough...The Panthers will be without defenceman Eamonn Courtney and goal- tender Tyler Kimmel for this weekend’s games and possibly for the start of the post-season. “I’m not sure if both will be back for the playoffs. We’ll have to wait and see,” said Brady. Ajax player earns college honours AJAX — Durham College women’s volleyball captain Mandi Doris of Ajax has been named the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) Athlete of the Week. Doris, a fourth-year student- athlete who is enrolled in the Office Administration program, broke the OCAA all-time record for career blocks last Tuesday night in the Lords road win over Fleming Col- lege. Doris now has 154 career blocks, surpassing Tracey Smith of Niagara College, who had 147 blocks in her career. Earlier in the season, Doris also smashed the record for most blocks in a single season. In 19 games, she has recorded 78 blocks, passing Courtney Warren of Mo- hawk College, who had 61 blocks in 2003/04. The Lords have been dominant on the court as well as on the score sheet this year. The Lords are 14-5 in conference play and have clinched a home play off game. Meanwhile, Doris leads the league in blocks (78) and points (251), while teammate Kristen Conner of Oshawa leads the league in kills (203). The Lords are on a six-match winning streak and are fifth in the provincial rankings. Doris becomes the fourth Durham College athlete to win the OCAA Athlete of the Week honour this season. Women’s soccer play- ers Katie Watts of Oshawa and Brit- tany Micucci of Newmarket won the award earlier in September, while men’s basketball standout Eric Smith of Ajax was honoured in January.
