The group gathered at Ajax’s town hall and were joined by the mayors of Ajax and Pickering, local councillors and Ajax- Pickering MPP Joe Dickson. Mr. Holland said his goal was to welcome some of Canada’s most recent citizens and to make sure they knew who to go to when they needed to get problems fixed. “We have every corner of the planet repre- sented in Ajax and Pickering and it creates a community that’s incredibly vibrant,” he said, adding that new citizens are often the proud- See NEW page 10 and FINANCIAL SERVICES JD INSURANCE JONES - DOOLEY INSURANCE BROKERS 103 Church St. S.

Among the winners of the 2008 Civic Awards was Rae Coulter, the director of the St. Paul’s On-the-Hill Community Food Bank, taking home a lifetime achieve- ment award. “I was thrilled (to hear I was receiving the award),” she said. Although she works hard, volunteering is something she’s used to, having served the food bank for the past 18 years. “What would I do with myself?” she said. Heroes honoured were Matthew Clif- ford, Chad Hervieux and James Shaw. Mr. Shaw had witnessed a robbery of the manager of a Mac’s convenience store. He attempted to stop the suspected rob- ber, who fled on foot, but was threatened with a knife. Mr. Clifford and Mr. Hervieux were driving by, and picked up both Mr. Shaw and the victim in search of the sus- pect, who they saw enter a home. They called police, who caught the suspect and recovered the stolen bank deposit. “I’d want someone to do that for me,” Mr. Clifford said. Mr. Hervieux agreed and noted others saw the incident but didn’t act on it. Peter Carruthers has served Claremont since 1980 as a volunteer firefighter and received a lifetime achievement award. His brother, Paul Carruthers, was also recognized for volunteering in the same capacity since 1969. Jaclyn Stephenson, 19, received an access award for disability issues for spending six years volunteering with the Pickering Special Children’s Swim Pro- gram. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 28, 20092 AP First Weekend in June - June 4, June 5, June 6 & June 7 In 50 words or less, tell us what your favourite fair experience was like.

Cosmetics partner: Montreal man charged with 2006 murder BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Murdered trucker Donald Woods died of a point-blank shotgun blast to the back of the head, an expert witness testified Tuesday. Forensic pathologist Jacqueline Parai said Mr. Woods, whose body was found in the sleeper compartment of his rig in Pickering in June 2006, died immediate- ly from the execution-style shooting. “It was my opinion it was a contact wound,” Dr. Parai said Tuesday in Supe- rior Court in Whitby. “It means the end of the barrel of the shotgun ... was in contact with the scalp to cause this wound. “(Death) would have been immedi- ate,” she said. Dr. Parai was testifying at the trial of Paul Cyr, who has pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder of Mr. Woods, 35. The Brockville-area trucker was found dead in the cab of his truck behind the Wal-Mart store on Brock Road in Pickering June 23, 2006. His cargo, a load of air-chilled chicken valued at $40,000, was missing. Mr. Cyr, 51, of Montreal, was arrested several months after Mr. Woods’s body was discovered. He is also charged with theft over $5,000. Testifying Tuesday Dr. Parai said that in addition to the catastrophic gunshot wound to the head, an autopsy revealed bruising on the slain man’s wrists. Dur- ham investigators found a number of plastic ties in and around the truck, jurors have heard. Court has heard Mr. Woods was bound for Bradford with the load of chicken. He last had contact with his wife June 21, 2006, and his body was discovered two days later. Mr. Woods’s cellphone, found in the cab of the truck, recorded 49 missed calls, jurors heard. The trial continues.

COMMUNITY Pickering garage sale aids cancer research Dickson refers Parish to questions in the legislature BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ajax Mayor Steve Parish recent- ly sought an official statement from MPP Joe Dickson on his views of the Greenbelt; instead, he got two questions. In April, Mayor Parish fired off a letter to Mr. Dickson after a portion of the Ajax-Pickering MPP’s March newsletter caught his eye. The contentious issue was part of a piece on a couple celebrating their 50th anniver- sary. With regard to their Rossland Road and Lakeridge Road-area farm, the newsletter says: “After Ajax Council changed their land designation without family approval or any compensation, they have had to purchase addition- al farm acreage in Port Perry, Whitby and other areas in order to get the 600-800 acres needed for a viable farm operation.” The newsletter went on to say the farm was surrounded by new development and the family may be forced out of the area by new-home building. Mayor Parish said the farm is part of the non-urban lands included in the Greenbelt legislation in 2004. The Province has frozen development on Greenbelt lands. “We cannot have our MPP oppose the Greenbelt and go further to wrongly inti- mate that the Greenbelt was imposed by Ajax Council,” Mayor Parish wrote. He said the McGuinty government created the Greenbelt and Mr. Dickson is a member of that government. “Frankly, I was annoyed that an MPP who represents Ajax and should be a supporter of the Greenbelt attacks the Greenbelt and attacks Ajax council at the same time,” said Mayor Parish in an interview. He called on Mr. Dickson to clarify and state his position on the Greenbelt both generally and in Ajax specifically. In response, Mr. Dickson pointed to questions he posed in the legislature in early May as the answer to the mayor’s questions. At Queen’s Park, he said he felt one of the government’s great environmental achievements was the cre- ation of the Greenbelt and said members of his riding supported it. He then asked the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing about recent activities in the Greenbelt and its value to the Province. Mr. Dickson also requested a clarification on the importance of Ontario’s pesticide ban. When asked for his official position on the Greenbelt, Mr. Dickson referred to his two questions and said the mayor should do the same. “I think it’s pretty obvious from the ques- tions in the Legislature, and if he doesn’t understand that, I’d be pleased to speak with him any time in person,” said Mr. Dickson. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 28, 20094 AP Ask Katherine Send your waste related letters, questions, or comments to waste@durham.ca Waste Management, Municipality of Durham 605 Rossland Rd. E., Whitby ON L1N 6A3 MANAGE YOUR WASTE.SAVE THE PLANET. www.durhamregionwaste.ca Are residents’ efforts really making a difference when they separate their food waste and blue box materials? Yes. Durham Region residents have been continually increasing both the amount of recyclable and compostable materials diverted from landfi ll since the Blue Box program began in 1984. In 2008, residents diverted 54,000 tonnes of recyclable material, and almost 26,000 tonnes of food waste from being transported to landfi ll. Recyclables are remanufactured into either the same product or another plastic, metal or paper product. Organic food waste is processed right here in Durham Region into high quality compost for residential use. Keep up the great work! Your participation makes waste diversion programs work for both you and the environment. What does the term “EFW” mean? EFW, or energy from waste, is a process that takes residual garbage and burns it to produce energy. Residual waste is what is leftover after the recyclable products, compostable material and hazardous waste items are removed. Garbage has an energy recovery value that can be captured by burning it in a controlled environment. It then heats up water-fi lled steel tubes to produce steam, which in turn drives a turbine to create electricity. Energy produced from the waste can be sold into the Ontario hydro power grid to offset increased electricity demands. An EFW facility for Durham Region can solve residual waste landfi ll issues, increase awareness of existing waste diversion programs, and provide enough energy to power over 8,000 homes annually. Visit the Durham/ York Residual Waste Study website at www.durhamyorkwaste.ca/faq.php for more information on the EFW project. I just moved into a new house and have a lot of extra cardboard boxes. What do I do with them? Welcome to Durham Region! Cardboard boxes need to be broken down, bundled using tape or twine, and left beside your blue box on your regularly scheduled collection day. Fold or cut down the cardboard to about the size of your blue box, and no heavier than 20 kilograms (44 pounds) so they are manageable for you and the driver. Don’t use wire or plastic ties as problems may occur at the Region’s Material Recovery Facility if this material becomes unwound and wraps around the machinery in the processing plant.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions What are you supposed to do when you don’t like the people you love? This sounds oxymoronic, but I’m sure you’ve experienced it. I think we all have. Families are particularly rife with this condi- tion. And it’s challenging as hell. It’s easy to dislike a stranger or even an acquaintance. In fact, it’s easy to forgive someone we hardly know. Because we don’t have a deep emotional stake in that person or that relationship. And they’re ephemer- al. Oftentimes, we won’t ever see the person again. But when your kid or your spouse or your mother, father, sister or brother gets under your skin, that can get your shorts in a knot an Eagle Scout couldn’t undo ... because you see them all the time. You have history. And if you live with them, it’s like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Existing under the same roof as someone you’re on the outs with is like being in a boxing ring with them. It’s suddenly a very small space and it’s only a matter of time before you come to blows. I’m fairly certain this was the main reason humans invented the locked door. So we wouldn’t kill each other. How the heck, for all those years, did native people deal with fam- ily tiffs? I mean, inside that teepee or igloo or long house, there was nowhere to hide. “I see you over there, Running Deer, don’t you give me that look.” “Tell that blubber-head Akpik I’m not speaking to him. I’ll be under my robe if any- one wants me.” I guess that’s what ice floes and forests and acres of barren prairie were for. Getting away from the people we love/hate. Still, it’s a painful situation. Uncomfortable and awkward and stressful. Hang onto it long enough and it’ll make you very, very sick. Honestly, I’ve had multiple surgeries, bro- ken bones, burns ... I’ve even been stabbed, but I’ve never experienced anything that hurts as much or as deeply as disliking some- one you love. And I think it’s because when we find our- selves in that position, when he or she just doesn’t get it or we can’t believe that kid could actually do that or Mom or Dad just said that “thing” they know really, really bugs us, we feel that completely-bent-out-of- shape anger rising until our solar plexus feels like we swallowed a rusty bear trap. It’s because we are about as far from our real selves as we will ever get. We are sudden- ly at the frozen, outer reaches of our emotion- al galaxies, far and away from the love that is our sun and our source. And it feels rotten. Humans are essentially love machines. It’s what we were designed to do best. And we have these remarkable things called emo- tions that let us know how well the machine is working. When we’re happy, enthused, passionate, loving -- the machine is running like a top. We have energy and we radiate health and wellness. But when anger, fear, guilt, jealousy and all those other delights are present, the machine is gummed up. And you know it immedi- ately. You feel lousy. We sometimes say, we don’t feel like ourselves. Which couldn’t be more true, because, we have drifted from our real loving selves. The selves who want to love everyone and every- thing. And so, yes, it is hard when you suddenly find yourself not liking someone you love. But what gets me through it is remembering, all the while, that although I may not tempo- rarily like them, I will always love them. It’s just who I am. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. New Canadians remind us how special country is For long-time Canadian citizen Harry Young, the celebration for new Canadi- ans organized by Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland was, well, better late than never. Mr. Young, who emigrated from Scot- land in 1979 and was in Ajax last week to enjoy mingling with 65 other “new” Cana- dians, got into the spirit of his party three decades after his own immigration expe- rience. He lamented that, “they didn’t have a nice party for me,” but that didn’t stop him from enjoying this one. Good for him. For the other new Canadians it was a chance to literally meet neighbours who had come from all corners of the globe to be part of the Canadian experience. With Canada Day just over a month away, these new Canadians could tell stories of coming from Nigeria, Jamaica and China among other distant shores. But home is now Ajax and Pickering. As it is for so many of the nearly 200,000 citizens who make the town and city their residence. For we are all immigrants or the sons and daughters or grandsons and granddaughters or great-grandsons and great-granddaughters of immigrants to this area. That is truly our common bond. So the 65 new Canadians who gathered at the Ajax Town Hall are merely beginning their own journey and are starting their own story. They will build their new Canadian life in this land of freedom. It won’t always be easy and some of those at the gathering acknowledged that. Jeannette Headley, originally from Jamai- ca, said it was difficult to find a decent job upon arriving in Canada. She also wished it was easier to bring education creden- tials overseas. And Shuae Wei, from China, said he felt the need to change his name to Andy on his job application form. He said he had felt discrimination but felt he had been able to adjust. The immigrant experience can’t be an easy one. Then again, leaving your home- land, uprooting your family and moving to a distant place and starting over cannot be an easy decision. As Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said to the gathering, in reference to his own par- ents immigrating to Canada in the 1920s: “I have some sense of the sacrifice you made bringing your family here to be part of our community.” Ajax and Pickering are the beneficia- ries of the experience of so many different parts of the world. And we are the better for it. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com Try and remember the love even when you don’t like them Neil Crone newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 28, 20096 P ‘It’s been tough, it’s been gut wrenching,’ Buckley says BY KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- With “a huge gun to our heads” Canadian Auto Workers voted overwhelm- ingly in favour of a new contract that freez- es pay and pension benefits. Workers at General Motors voted 86 per cent overall in favour of the deal, reached last week, that will see labour costs at the embattled car maker drop about $20 an hour. CAW members at Oshawa voted on Monday and local workers voted 82 per cent in favour. Having a deal in place enables GM to apply for billions of dollars in aid from the federal and provincial governments. Speaking to about 3,000 CAW members Monday morning, Local 222 president Chris Buckley said, “This tentative agree- ment allows us to survive. This wasn’t tra- ditional bargaining. It wasn’t two-way bar- gaining.” The CAW was holding two ratification meetings in Oshawa on Monday, as its members voted on the latest contract nego- tiations. It’s the third time the CAW and General Motors have been at the bargaining table. On March 6, the two sides reached a deal to renegotiate the previously agreed upon contract. The March 6 deal trimmed about $7 an hour off labour costs. However, the federal government said that wasn’t enough if GM wanted billions in aid and ordered the two sides back to the table. The newest agreement cuts GM’s labour costs to about $57 a hour, equivalent to Toy- ota’s costs. “Let’s not kid anybody here today. We don’t have a choice,” CAW president Ken Lewenza said of the negotiations. “We said to the government, you put the pension fund into a position so it’s fully funded. We never had that in March. Now we have that,” Mr. Lewenza stated. The biggest cheer came when he said to Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, “we want the same pension protection as autowork- ers as you get as a Member of Parliament. “I know this is tough on you. This is tough on the bargaining committee. The bargain- ing committee took its hearts into your homes,” Mr. Lewenza said. The labour situation is causing stress at home and it’s affecting not only adults but children as well, he said. “Every minute of the last 15 days, we’ve been in your homes, in Oshawa. We under- stand what Ontario would look like without an auto industry. We worked our asses off. We ask that you support the agreement, to give us the confidence to fight another day,” Mr. Lewenza said. “There’s not a lot of public support out there for a bailout,” Mr. Buckley said, add- ing members should “go to the local paper” to read letters to the editor. Mr. Buckley likened the current situation to, “we have some damage to our house, but we have left a solid foundation to build on. “We have done the responsible thing. It’s been tough, it’s been gut-wrenching. Our fight is far from over,” Mr. Buckley said. Greg Moffatt, the plant chairman, said, “I understand the frustration you feel. Retir- ees can sleep at night, not worrying their pension has been underfunded.” “I know it’s been a terrible year. With aid from the government, we’ll be able to fight another day,” Mr. Moffatt stated. Jim Stanford, an economist with the CAW, said the union expects GM to file for bank- ruptcy protection some time this week. If that happens, under the agreement negoti- ated, the union’s contract, including wages, pensions and benefits, will remain. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 28, 20097 AP Mon-Wed. 10am-6pm Thurs. & Fri. 10 am-7pm Sat. 9am-5pm Sun. 11am-4pm MEET MEET MIKE HOLMESMIKE HOLMES SATURDAY, MAY 30TH 11AM WAREHOUSE ONLY AT 1400 Hopkins Street, Whitby (just North West of the AMC Theatres) 905-665-8119 ext. 242 401 to Thickson.

Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, whose par- ents immigrated to Canada in the 1920s, thanked the group for having the courage to leave their homes and come to Cana- da. “I have some sense of the sacrifice you made bringing your family here to be part of our community,” he said. Adedoyin Leigh, like many of the people at the event, became a Canadian citizen last summer. Mrs. Leigh said she came to Cana- da from Nigeria to join her children and grandchildren. “Canada is a peaceful country, there is not much crisis here,” she said. “Every- thing about Canada is just beautiful.” In addition to meeting with their local representatives, many of the new citizens got to know each other. Jannette Headley, originally from Jamaica, and Shuae Wei who came to Canada from China, were among a group talking about the chal- lenges of moving to a new country. “The difficulty when we get here is mainly in jobs, we have to settle for medi- ocre jobs,” said Ms. Headley, who wishes it was simpler to bring education creden- tials to Canada from overseas. “Once you start getting around and get- ting to know the system, you’re able to fit in and adjust,” she said. Mr. Wei said he’s dealt with discrimina- tion since he came to Canada and recent- ly felt the need to change his first name on job applications to “Andy”. “I’m not comfortable with it, but you know what, the reality is you have to sur- vive in this society, you have to adapt,” said Mr. Wei. Overall, Ms. Headley said it was a good gesture from Mr. Holland to arrange the event. “We liked meeting each other, we hit it right off,” she said. “I became a citizen in 1979 and they didn’t have a nice party for me,” added another member of the group, Harry Young, who originally came from Scot- land.

You need to understand what is important to you and your family so you can iden- tify and reach your goals. Although there are many ways to work toward your goals, the key is answering these fi ve important questions. Where am I today? Before you can plan for the future, you must assess where things stand right now. There is a lot of information to review in addressing this question, including a list of monthly expenses, your tax return, retirement plan statements and brokerage, bank or other fi nancial statements. All of this will help provide a comprehensive, accurate overview of your current situation. Where would I like to be? After determining where you are today, you next need to set specifi c goals that can be related to: • Saving for retirement • Living a comfortable retirement • Funding a child’s education • Helping support other family members • Funding a vacation or second home • Having appropriate insurance to protect your fi nancial goals Can I get there? Based on your current situation, future income requirements and comfort level with risk, you’ll need to create and implement appropriate strategies that can help you achieve your goals. How do I get there? This is all about having an appropriate investment philosophy you can stick with. In particular, it involves building a diversifi ed portfolio of quality investments and holding them for the long term. Diversifi cation cannot guarantee profi t or protect against loss, but it is a strategy that has proven to be successful for many investors. How can I stay on track? Meeting with your fi nancial advisor to review the plan at least once a year is essential. If any of your goals or circumstances has changed, you can then make appropriate adjustments that address your evolving needs. Remember, take a strategic approach to your fi nancial strategy and make sure you have profes- sional advice. Doing so could be the difference between achieving your fi nancial goals and having to change them.

Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE It is not uncommon for us to have one foot larger than the other or an eye stronger than the other. But when one leg is longer than the other leg, there are complications, which can become quite painful. When the difference is substantial, the effect on gait and posture can be quite disruptive. There are two types of limb-length discrepancies. The first is designated as structural. This is an actual difference in the skeletal length of one leg. This could be caused by polio, hip replacement or leg fracture. The other is known as a function discrepancy. The actual length of the legs are the same but a curve in the back or a dropped pelvis may lead to the difference in leg length. Changes in walking patterns occur as your body tries to shorten the longer leg and lengthen the shorter leg. This can be seen in the foot whereby the foot on the shorter side maintains a higher arch and the patient will bear weight on the outside of the foot. This foot can be a shoe Ask the podiatrist...

The foot on the longer leg will lose some of its arch and weight will be borne along the big toe side of the foot. This foot, because of the fallen arch can be a size longer. The foot on the shorter leg can be prone to stress fractures as the foot is more rigid while the leg on the longer side may be prone to knee strains due to internal rotation of the leg. The most common change in posture due to a limb-length discrepancy is scoliosis, a curve in the back. As a result of the scoliosis, the patient’s pelvis will be tilted down on the shorter leg side; the head and shoulder will be tilted down the longer leg side and even the level of the fingers when standing erect will be lower on the long side. Even skin-folds of the gluteal muscles (bum) will be uneven. All this occurs so that the body compensates for the unevenness in the length of the legs, which can lead to the patient walking with a limp. The measurement of the length of legs is not very accurate. I use two different methods and look for a raw difference as I measure from the belly button to the inside ankle and also the top of the hipbone to the inside ankle. Treatment involves lifts and/or orthotics. Purely structural deformities require a lift for the shorter leg. Functional deformities are best treated with orthotics. Asymmetrical problems should not be treated lightly. They are one of the leading causes of back problems and the third most common cause of running injuries.

Answer: Many of my clients are surprised to learn that exercise is only part of the puzzle. There are two main reasons why many people work out consistently and yet still are not able to reach their health and weight loss goals. The fi rst is that you need to adjust your workout program every four to six weeks in order to keep your body challenged and the second and most important key ingredient to success is nutrition. Our body is extremely intelligent and learns to adapt very quickly, this is why we provide our clients at U Weight Loss with professional workout programs. You must constantly change your work out regime to challenge your body in order to see the results you crave. It is also a huge nutrition myth that if you work out, you can eat whatever you want. The truth is that 75-80% of the results you will experience from any exercise program are in fact dependent on your nutrition. You need to fuel your body properly with the right nutrients emphasizing the correct balance of lean proteins, essential fats and low-glycemic carbohydrates to repair muscle tissue in order to tone, build muscle and increase your metabolism. Nutrition is the cornerstone of health and the focus at U Weight Loss. Come in to U Weight Loss in Ajax or Pickering and learn how to accelerate the results from your exercise program and reach your health and weight loss goal easily and quickly!

TWO SPORT ATHLETE Dobson dives into gymnastics Qualifies for provincials in gymnastics and diving BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Vicky Dobson has learned a number of valuable les- sons already through her partici- pation in gymnastics and diving, including how to overcome some adversity. Earlier in the competitive sea- son, the Pickering resident broke her hand, but that didn’t deter the member of the Gemini Gymnas- tics club in Oshawa. Coming off the injury and with only one week to prepare, she finished fifth at the Ontario Cup to secure a place at the Provincial Championships. Fully healthy, the better the com- petition got, the better she did. At provincials in Windsor, her third-place finish overall (bars 2nd, beam 9th, floor 3rd, vault 9th) earned her a trip to Newfound- land for the Eastern Canadians, where she did one better with a sil- ver medal finish in the Tyro 3 cat- egory based on a 2nd on bars, 3rd on beam, 2nd on floor and 5th on vault. “I think I was probably more excited than nervous,” said the 11- year-old of competing in a cou- ple of prestigious events at such a young age. The Grade 5 student at French- man’s Bay Public School started gymnastics at the age of two in Pickering, but switched to Gemini three years ago and is under the tutelage of former Olympic gold medallist Elena Davydova. “I’m not really sure, but, I guess because flipping around and all that stuff would be really fun to do, so I just chose to do gymnastics,” recalls Dobson of taking a liking to the sport at an early age. “It’s real- ly active and just really fun to do, because you get to swing on the bars and get to do all sorts of things on the floor. “It’s really hard work, but after, it all pays off and it’s really fun to do.” The experience she earned with the trip to provincials in gymnas- tics is something she can draw from when she competes at the same level in diving. A member of the Scarborough Diving Club, where she trains once a week, she will represent the club in the 1- and 3- metre springboard at the Provincial Championships as well as qualify- ing for Diving Canadian Nationals next month. Initially, she thought the skills learned in gymnastics would trans- fer well to diving. “At first I didn’t even think I would be competing, but then I ended up being really good at it,” she said with a hint of surprise in her voice. Her ultimate goal is to obtain a university scholarship for gymnas- tics. SUBMITTED PHOTO PICKERING -- Vicky Dobson competed at the Provincial and Eastern Canadian Championships in gymnas- tics.

Neujahr brings home gold PICKERING -- Sharp eyes, keen reflexes and a steely gaze are the attributes of a championship marksman, and 856 Pickering Air Cadet Squadron’s Flight Ser- geant Mathias Neujahr used these skills to bring home the gold. Competing at the National Cadet Marksmanship Champi- onship in Charlottetown P.E.I., 16-year-old Neuhahr and his 14 Ontario teammates met cadet rifle teams from every Canadi- an province and territory, and emerged as national champions. Flight Sergeant Neujahr’s team earned gold medals for Top Unit Team, Top Composite Team and overall Top Provincial Team. Sil- ver medals came in the Team Match and Standing competi- tion, and a bronze went to Ontar- io’s second Composite Team. Shooting from a standing posi- tion, Mathias is currently ranked sixth in Canada. Neujahr attends Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Second- ary School in Whitby, and is an accomplished member of 856 Air Cadet Squadron’s Air Rifle Team. ”He’s very focused and dedi- cated. He’s come close to being selected for the National Air Rifle Team the previous two years, so this is his dream year,” says proud coach Major Colette Blight, commanding officer of 856 Squadron. Team Ontario’s win comes after a year of intense local, area and regional competitions. Based on Olympic-style target shooting, the cadet marksman- ship program is an integral part of cadet training that teaches self-discipline, builds confidence and allows cadets to compete equally in a gender neutral rec- reational sport. It is one of many popular activities offered by the Canadian Cadet Organizations, the Royal Canadian Sea, Army and Air Cadets. Membership is open all youth aged 12-18 and there are no fees to enroll.

SUMMER HOCKEY LEAGUE Still a place to skate for Durham players DURHAM -- Lacrosse season may be in full swing, but there is still some hockey to be played in these parts. Metro East Junior Hockey Ltd. is again running its two annual pro- grams for the summer in the Sun- day Night Junior hockey league and the Monday Night 94 skates. Both programs are iced at the Campus Ice Centre and start the weekend of June 7. The Junior League consists of contact hockey with strict rule enforcement by OHA officials. The league consists of Ontario Hockey League, Ontario Junior Hockey League, Junior C, and midget aged players with birth dates between 1993 to 1989. The defending champions are 3 Zones Hockey, led by OHL players Luke Pither of Burkton, Marcus Carroll of Ajax, Andrew Wilkins of Pickering, and Mark Ramkema of Ajax. Individual and team applica- tions are accepted. The champions will be return- ing for play this summer, along- side teams with players from OJHL organizations based out of Stouffville, Markham, and Whitby plus a Pickering based team that is likely to be built around OHLers. The 94 Skate is run by OHL coaches and is the first chance for next year’s draft eligible players to get exposed to OHL coaching and practice sessions. Darren Keily of the Kings- ton Frontenacs, Jake Grimes and George Burnett of the Bel- leville Bulls, and Rich Ricci of the Oshawa Generals will lead the practices, which include scrim- mage time.

The Ontario Varsity League is the pre- mier league in Ontario for football with teams comprised of the best players from their high schools and area, playing clubs from all across the province. The league is heavily scouted by universities for future talent and it is an excellent opportunity to see the best of the best play against each other. Playing on their home field, Metro punched the first touchdown across after forcing a mistake by the Dolphins on a punt for a 7-0 lead. Dolphins quarter- back Mike Stobbart hooked up with A.J. Thomas on a 40-yard pass completion to take the ball down to the Metro eight, then the two hooked up again two plays later for the touchdown, but missed the convert. After Metro went up 14-6, Stobbart again found Thomas in the end zone with a 35-yard completion to finish the half down one at 14-13. After D’Shane Chung returned the third- quarter kickoff 85 yards to the Metro 10, it only took two plays for Stobbart to take it in for the major. The linebackers, includ- ing Garrett Mole, Jason Harrison, Alex Horodnyk and Patrick Stewart chipped in as Mole made a huge hit on the Metro quarterback and Stewart picked up the ball and took it in for the major. In the fourth quarter, Kami Brown made a big play on defence and three plays later Stobbart pitched to Chung on the option for another major. The Dolphins travel to Toronto to face the Thunder in game two of the season on Sunday.

Trailing 14-13 at the half, the Dolphins came back for a 33-17 victory in the season opener.
