BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- When family friends joked that Darius Parsons could play the drums so well that he should play on the street to see how much money he could make, the seven year old liked the sound of it. His parents, Nikki and Greg Parsons, how- ever, said it would have to be for a charity. “I wanted to raise money for cancer because my grandma and grandad both died from cancer,” he said in an interview.

Grade 1 student Megan Yiu and her friends explored the new classroom that’s part of the school’s Eco Project. Facility now called Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences BY PARVANEH PESSIAN ppessian@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- The Whitby Mental Health Centre will soon be reborn with a new identity that will better reflect the hospital’s key goals. Members of the facility board unveiled the new name, Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, along with a new mission statement at the annual general meeting held Wednesday afternoon, June 10. “Our mandate in the health care system is to be a specialized resource for treating patients with complex mental illness, doing innovative research, training, and supporting professionals who work in mental health,” said Brian Hart, chairman of the centre’s board of directors. “As we enter the next era of our organization, it was timely for us to align our brand and identity with our vision and create a new mission statement that better reflects our purpose,” he added. The new brand features a circular logo combining the letters O and S within an image of a shoreline to demonstrate a path symbolic of a patient’s recovery, while the bright colours convey energy, healing and hope. Extensive consultation with more than 500 staff, patients, physicians, and volunteers resulted in the concept and development of the new identity.

Development charges recover a por- tion of the growth-related costs associ- ated with capital infrastructure needed to service new development. A back- ground study for Pickering’s develop- ment charges bylaw amendment came to council Monday night. “Why should a person in rural areas living 10 miles away from City services (pay the same) as people right there?” said Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson. He added most rural residents use Hwy. 407 and regional roads. Cam Watson, of Watson and Associ- ates Economists Ltd., which prepared the background study for the develop- ment charges bylaw, said those charg- es are there because people living in rural areas use City roads, which require upgrades and maintenance. “They’re living on regional roads, but I don’t accept your premise they’re not using City roads,” he said to Coun. John- son. City treasurer and director of corpo- rate services, Gil Paterson, reminded Coun. Johnson, “The fact that they live on a rural road is their choosing.” Mr. Paterson said every municipality has to charge a uniform rate for taxes and development charges to keep gen- eral order, otherwise the same argument could be made in other areas. “It’s a whole philosophy and it goes much further than (roads),” he said. Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell questioned why commercial businesses are exempt from all charg- es except for those relating to roads. For example, in 2008, a single detached home carried a charge of $435 for the cost of fire services, and commercial developers were charged nothing. Mr. Paterson said employees main- ly use roads -- not recreation facili- ties or libraries for example. But Coun. O’Connell pointed those companies need storm water man- agement and if there’s a fire, they’ll call Picker- ing’s fire depart- ment. Pickering cur- rently charges lower rates than Ajax, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington in both non-residential and residential charges. Randy Grimes, of IBI Group, repre- senting the Seaton Landowners Group, argued Seaton should be included in the development charges study. The report said Seaton will be subject to a separate development charge bylaw or a revised city-wide bylaw once the planning for the neighbourhood has advanced. Mr. Paterson said he’s taking all com- ments into consideration, and the staff report will come to city council on July 13.

Gil Paterson LOCAL BREAKING NEWS, SPORTS, PHOTOS, VIDEO AND WEATHER >>newsdurhamregion.com BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Testimony has begun in the trial of a former Durham Region coach accused of sexually assaulting a male gymnast. Ray Collingham is charged with offenc- es relating to sexual assaults alleged to have occurred when the Newcastle boy was aged 11 to 15. Superior Court Justice David Salmers is hearing the case without a jury. The first witness for the Crown was the boy’s mother, who testified she reported her suspicions of abuse to police after sharing a home with Mr. Collingham, who also coached the boy, in Newcastle several years ago. A court order prohib- its publishing information that might identify the alleged victim. The woman rejected a suggestion by defence lawyer Graham Clark she had been motivated by jealousy that grew out of the close bond struck between Mr. Collingham and the boy. But she did say their relationship caused tensions. “He was constantly getting in the way of my parenting my own son,” the woman said of Mr. Collingham. Mr. Collingham has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. “We’re looking forward to the truth coming out,” Mr. Clark said outside court. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 11, 20094 AP COURTS Trial begins for coach accused of abusing Newcastle boy PICKERING -- Community partners will take part in the 4th annual Sustainable Pickering day this weekend.

AP BREAKING NEWS 24/7 >>newsdurhamregion.com DURHAM -- As part of ongoing West Nile virus surveillance, the Durham Region Health Department will be monitoring regional and municipally-owned catch basins throughout the summer. Starting in mid-June, the health department will be working with a licensed larvicide con- tractor, to administer catch basin larviciding treatments using specially-equipped bicy- cles. “Residents can be assured that while using bicycles to apply the larvicide is different this year, the larviciding program is the same that has occurred in previous years,” said Laura Freeland, manager of environmental health with Durham Region Health Department. The health department is planning to con- duct three catch basin treatments beginning mid-June, with subsequent treatments in mid-July and mid-August. When monitoring results indicate the pres- ence of mosquito larvae in a catch basin, it will be treated with a larvicide product and marked with a latex-based paint to let area residents know it has been treated. Each treatment period will be distinguished with three different colours of paint; treat- ments in mid-June will be marked with green paint, mid-July will be marked with orange paint and mid-August with blue paint.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions POLITICS Provincial government’s a disaster To the editor: The provincial Liberals are an embar- rassment. They continually say we will do better. Well, that’s not good enough. The latest scandal ends up costing us almost $1 million for a few months’ work by the CEO of eHealth. Stop letting Dalton McGuinty have a free ride. They have been at the job for six years and probation time is long over. They have presided over the worst eco- nomic downturn and do little more than blame everyone else for their mess. Call your local politician and demand answers. We need forward-thinking leaders that have a plan to get Ontario working again. It’s long overdue that we turf out the jelly- fish and get some people with backbone willing to stand up and lead Ontario. Allan Williams Ajax EDUCATION Too many make too much at Durham District School Board To the editor: The Durham District School Board need- ed to report in 2007 that there were 121 salaries over $100,000 to the Ministry of Finance, the so-called Sunshine List as it is referred to. In the 2008 report the list had increased to 152 reportable salaries over $100K for a 26.88-per cent increase. There is not one teacher or educational assistant on the list. Why can’t we shave a little off the top before having to make cuts that drastically affect the students? The term “Best and the Brightest” does not cut it, not in a board that sees declining enrolment and declining test results. When the list is available for 2009 will it show less people on the 100K list? I see senior salaries being maintained and/or increased as the biggest constraint causing textbooks and EAs to be cut. This is com- pletely in the local board’s control and if they lose the “Best and the Brightest,” so be it. They are not there for the kids anyway. Karem Allen Ajax AUTO SECTOR GM, Chrysler bailout leaves legacy of debt for future generations To the editor: Re: CAW ‘didn’t have a choice,’: Buckley, May 27 I read with interest a statement by the CAW’s Chris Buckley that there’s not a lot of public support for a bailout. No wonder. After decades of making unreasonable and unsustainable demands from all levels in the North American auto industry, the Big Three have finally been brought to their knees. It seems this is not good enough, now those taxpayers not employed by the Big Three should be brought to their knees as well. Although I feel sorry for those affected by the shutdowns and token wage reductions, I by no means feel respon- sible. It seems the attitude of entitlement has survived the negotiations and can only serve to bleed those financing the bailout- - us -- for years to come. Well, those of us opposed to leaving a legacy of debt for our children to deal with can still be heard. We can speak with our chequebooks. We can support the automakers where our appar- ently less worthy neighbors are employed - - Toyota, Honda, etc. In closing, I have only one question to ask of the two levels of gov- ernment involved. Have you lost your col- lective minds? John Gobby Whitby Little drummer boy bangs skins for cancer charity gold When young Darius Parsons decided he wanted to drum up a little support for himself, his parents told him he’d have to do it for charity. So the youngster, all of seven years old, took that challenge literally. He took his drum kit down to Big M Burgers at Liverpool Road and Kros- no Boulevard in Pickering and, with the blessing of owner Chris Papatheodorou, started slapping the skins on Thursday night. The cause: Drumming for a Cure for Cancer, in honour of his grandma and grandad, who both died from the horri- ble disease. As Mr. Papatheodorou says, “The kid just came in one day and asked if he could set up his drums and play, to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.” Well, the kid has been such a hit, no pun intended, that he raised a whop- ping $1,5069.07 in just an hour of bash- ing away. And, by playing in conjunction with the All Canadian Riders Club bike rally, which also meets on Thursday night to raise funds for charities, he was able to pick up a little extra scratch for his cause. The group holds a 50/50 draw and the winner kicked in his winnings of around $400, giving Darius almost $2,000 his first night for just an hour of playing. Not a bad effort for someone barely old enough to see over the top of the high- hat. But Darius is an old hand at the drums. He’s taken lessons for the past couple of years and wowed the crowd with his renditions of versions of Hard to Handle, Raise a Little Hell, and Born to Be Wild. Even had to play Born to Be Wild a second time to raucous applause. You can be sure the bikers enjoyed that last song even though it came out about 35 years before Darius was born. Still, the young crowd-pleaser certainly knows his audience and also knows how to raise funds. And he is far from done yet. The little drummer boy has a not-so- small challenge for all those cymbal smackers out there. He wants them to see if “you can bat- tle me and see if you can raise as much money as me.” Sounds like the kind of battle where nobody is a loser and everybody’s a win- ner.

MP1539 (01/2009) Kids should be taught what road signs mean, say police BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Kids from across Durham ped- alled through a course on bike safety at the Kids Safety Village in Whitby last weekend. More than 200 people showed up for the event, with kids bringing bicycles in every colour, jazzed up with streamers, and stickers on their helmets. Some of the kids breezed through the course set up for them, while others took a more cautious approach. The event was organized by the Durham Safety on Wheels Coalition, which includes local police and the health department. “The basic concern is the kids do not understand what the road signs are so they’re not obeying them,” said Officer Astrid Morse, of the Durham Regional Police Services. Among the features in the miniature town in the Safety Village, located at Sir William Stephenson Public School on Athol Street, are a variety of signs including stop signs and a railroad crossing. As the kids passed through the course, they not only learned to recognize the signs, but they also learned balance and control by navigating through a series of orange pylons. Officer More said the kids can practise at home, too. “Put some pop cans down on the driveway and they have their own obstacle course,” she said. Matt Lohmann, of Oshawa, brought his almost four-year-old daughter Riley to the event. “She has enough bumps and bruises so we figured the safety course would be a great thing to learn,” said Mr. Lohmann. Riley tackled the course like a trooper, ped- alling as fast as her training wheels could carry her. Nine-year-old Jade Moffatt, of Whitby, was a pro at navigating the course. She’s been to the Safety Village before through a school program. “In Grade 3, I already came here and did the bike thing,” she said. Her mom, Michelle Moffatt, added that it was a good way for her kids to refresh their skills as biking season kicks off. Before leaving the event, parents took their children to a station where their helmets were checked for fit and wear and tear. Michelle Dawe, of Pickering, was told her seven-year-old daughter Holly Naves would need a new helmet. “She needs a bigger helmet, even though it’s new. That’s the reason I came, because I knew it was questionable,” said Ms. Dawe. Volunteers stressed the importance of wearing helmets in preventing injuries. A 2001 health department survey found 74 per cent of Durham youth aged five to 17 always wore a helmet while biking, but by 2008, that number had dropped to 71 per cent. Once they were done biking, the kids also had a chance to play in a jumping castle or do some colouring before finishing up. Some of the luckiest kids won new helmets and bikes in a raffle. At the exit, volunteer Zandra Parro laughed as she relayed what one of her colleagues had been telling the kids: “If you don’t run over a policeman with your bike, you get a loot bag and a certificate.” COMMUNITY Durham kids pedal their way to bike safety REKA SZEKELY / METROLAND WHITBY -- Holly Naves, 7, of Pickering, tried out the course at a bike safety event at the Kids Safety Village in Whitby last Saturday. Holly was to get a new helmet after staff at the event told her mom the one she was wearing was too small. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 11, 20098 AP Reservations 905.982.1106 www.scugogcruises.com 166 Water Street Port Perry Sightseeing Private Charters Lunch Dinner BOAT CRUISESBOAT CRUISES Brunch Cruise Sunday, June 21st 11 a.m. ~ 1 p.m. FATHER’S DAY Upcoming Dinner Dance Cruises 7-10 PM • DJ Summer Kick-Off June 20th • Beach Surf N’ Turf June 27th • Country Dinner Dance July 4th • Elvis - Live Tribute July 10th • French Riviera July 11th • Caribbean July 17th Book Early & mention this month’s magic word “TREASURE” and recieve 10% off your next dinner dance.

ANNIVERSARY WindReach Farm to celebrate 20 years Popular farm setting catering to disabled marks anniversary on Saturday BY JONATHAN VAN BILSEN SCUGOG -- Many of us go through life taking much for granted, yet others face challenges the rest of us do not even think about. One such individual is Sandy (Alexan- der) Mitchell, founder of WindReach Farm in the southwest corner of Scugog. The man behind the dream is as amazing as the accomplish- ment he created and on June 13 WindReach Farm will celebrate its 20th anniversary. Mr. Mitchell was born in Edin- burgh, Scotland toward the end of the Second World War. His family was in the coal- mining business in Scotland and western Cana- da, but when the British govern- ment national- ized the indus- try, Mr. Mitchell’s father moved to Bermuda to oper- ate the business from there. Mr. Mitchell, the youngest of four children and the only boy, was born with cerebral palsy, a crippling disease, which has never held him back from accomplishing what he wants out of life. During his early years, Mr. Mitchell once again found himself back living in Edin- burgh, where he helped at his uncle’s farm whenever he could and developed a keen interest in agriculture. Years later, Mr. Mitchell, undecided about his future, still had a passion for agri- culture. After attending McDonald’s Facul- ty of Agriculture, part of McGill University in Montreal, he purchased a 200-acre farm near Arthur, Ontario but after three years the farm was not turning a profit and Mr. Mitchell was ready to throw in the towel. He then spent a few years in Bermuda and came to the realization that people like himself, with special needs, would enjoy a facility where they could visit and explore a farming way of life. At the same time, a property had been found in the southwest corner of Scugog, which would be perfect for Mr. Mitchell and in 1985 Win- dReach Farm became his. It took Mr. Mitchell two years and an extraor- dinary amount of his personal capital to create the beginning of his vision, but on June 16, 1989, Mr. Mitchell invited the first group of special-needs individuals to visit his farm. The farm did well and became a household word in the special- needs communi- ty. Apple trees were specifically culti- vated so the fruit grows low to the ground, providing wheelchair access. Wheelchair car- riages, drawn by horses, are also available. WindReach has been designed to be accessible for everyone. Doorways are wide, signage is in braille and the equestrian centre is designed with harnesses and steps so that everyone can experience the joy of riding a horse. In 1996, Mr. Mitchell opened WindReach Bermuda. It’s a smaller property than the Scugog farm, but catering to the same needs with the same attention to detail. “Now I can ride my own horses in two countries,” Mr. Mitchell joked. Mr. Mitchell has been competing in the Paralympics games as an eques- trian, participating in Sydney, Austra- lia in 2000, in Ath- ens, Greece in 2004 and last year in Bei- jing, China. Mr. Mitchell has always been involved in the community where he lives. The dedi- cated work of Mr. Mitchell has not gone unnoticed as he was awarded the Member of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth in 2002. As for the upcoming celebration to mark WindReach Farm’s two decades, Mr. Mitchell has a lofty goal in mind. “We want to have the biggest party Scu- gog has ever seen,” Mr. Mitchell said. As part of the festivities, WindReach Farm will feature the world’s only hot-air, wheelchair-accessible balloon, offering rides to anyone wanting to rise high above the property. David Onley, Lieutenant Gover- nor of Ontario, has agreed to attend and dedicate the opening of a Foun- dation Garden. Diane Dupuy has come forth with her Famous People Players to perform throughout the day. Dozens of artists, both local and inter- national, will provide music, dancing and singing. And, food stations will offer savoury treats. Best of all, it’s free. WindReach Farm is at 312 Townline Road, just west of Hwy. 12. Visit www.win- dreachfarm.org.

LOCAL BREAKING NEWS, SPORTS, PHOTOS, VIDEO AND WEATHER >>newsdurhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 11, 200914 P Pickering. “The kid just came in one day and asked if he could set up his drums and play, to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Soci- ety,” he said in a press release. So, he told him to go ahead and suggested it be in conjunc- tion with the All Canadian Rid- ers Club bike rally that takes place at the burger joint Thurs- day nights. So, Dari- us started the Drumming for a Cure fund- raiser. He opened his Big M solo show last month, play- ing to back- ground music, with Hard to Handle by the Black Crowes and followed with tunes such as Born to Be Wild, Raise a Little Hell and Black Velvet. Although Darius’s favourite bands are Linkin Park, Billy Talent and Evanescence, he played a classic rock set to appeal to the bikers and others stopping by. And, to his glee, the crowd cheered for an encore. “I had to play Born to be Wild again,” he said. Darius has discovered his favourite part of performing live is “how they cheer.” He ended up raising $1,569.07 in just an hour of playing. The bike rally also raises funds for charities, so the winner of the 50/50 draw donated his win- nings of around $400 to the cause. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean was so impressed with Darius’s performance that he called the News Advertiser to share the news. “It was really dynamic the way he played those drums,” Coun. McLean said. “It was hard to pic- ture a seven-year-old kid play- ing the drums so well.” He found it refreshing and mentioned the City is trying to get Darius to play at the annual Canada Day celebration at Kins- men Park. “It’s really nice to see some- one that young so caring and thoughtful that he took it upon himself to do this for unselfish reasons,” Coun. McLean said. Darius began taking drum- ming lessons at Legend Music Enterprises in Pickering with Frank Russell a couple of years ago, but his parents could tell he had an ear for music before that. While Darius’s two older broth- ers, Dakota and Keegan, are athletic, the drummer said he plays sports “not as much.” “He always messed around on the drums,” Ms. Parsons said. And now, he has a charitable challenge for other drummers to “battle me and see if you can raise as much money as me.” Darius on Youtube: http://www. youtube.com/watch?v=68keoIgz a4g&feature=channel Page 6 - Today’s editorial COMMUNITY Little Pickering drummer boy raises big cash for cancer 1-866-873-9945 www.welcomewagon.ca If You Are...

According to the Canadian Patient Safety Institute, studies show that the more informed you are about your health, the better your health outcomes. That means being in- volved in your health care decisions, says Anne Coghlan, President of the Federation of Health Regulatory Colleges of Ontario (FHRCO). “All regulated health professionals are re- quired to keep you informed. But part of being a smart health consumer is proactively discussing options and approaches around your care,” says Coghlan. Here are the three keys. • Talk. Tell your provider about any relevant treatments, medications, or conditions (previ- ous or current). Mention if you’re seeing other health care professionals, and discuss how your provider might work in tandem with them. Inform your provider of any changes in your health or reactions to treatment (whether good or bad). • Ask. Ask as many questions as needed until you feel comfortable with treatment options, instructions or advice. If you’re unclear, have your provider explain your condition in simple words. When dealing with multiple health care professionals, get their various perspectives on your issue. You want a complete picture in order to make an informed decision. • Listen. Pay attention to what your provider is saying; get clariﬁ cation as needed, or bring along a family member or friend to help ensure you understand. Write down important informa- tion, to remind yourself or share with others (e.g. family, other providers) who can help with your health decisions. Follow your provider’s instruc- Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Information is good for your health Three keys to making the best health care decisions tions or suggestions; the best decisions are meaningless if you don’t act on them. “You rely on your health care provider or team for their ex- pertise, but you also need to be a participant in your health,” Coghlan says. “By sharing and seeking as much information as possible, you’ll be in the best position to make sensible deci- sions about your care.” We Care About Your Care. FHRCO comprises Ontario’s 22 health regulatory colleges, which govern almost 260,000 health professionals. The colleges support these professionals in pro- viding the people of Ontario with safe, competent and ethical health care; and hold them account- able for their conduct and practice.

Not that the Sr. B lacrosse club is complaining, mind you. The Rock registered its second win of the season last Friday in Norwood, erasing a couple of four-goal deficits to pull out a 12-11 decision in overtime. “It just felt like the guys were catching on a little more to what we’ve been trying to preach in practices,” said head coach Jim Veltman, adding his club employed better ball and player movement on offence, resulting in quality chances. The Rock persevered despite trailing 6-2 at one point in the second, and 8-4 again in the third before rallying with five unanswered, the fifth with just 1:30 to go in the game, to move ahead 9-8. Norwood tied it 9-9 with just a minute to go, and was actually up 11-10 in overtime before the Rock rallied with a pair, including the winner from Mark Craig. In addition to the improve- ments on offence, Veltman pointed to the team’s condition- ing as a key factor in the win. “It was 8-4 in the third period and our legs were just starting to kick in and we really dominated the rest of that game,” he said. “I felt even in overtime it looked like we were dominating. It just felt like we were ahead of them in all aspects of the game as far as conditioning.” Jonas Derks had a big night for the Rock with a pair of goals and five assists, while Jamie Plunkett scored four times and chipped in with a couple of assists. Scor- ing once each were Mike Vertol- li, Clem D’Orazio, Garett Kerr, Bryan Johnson and Garrett Kikot. Travis Bland had three assists, as did Craig, D’Orazio and Kikot. With a 2-4-1 record and hav- ing played six of seven games on the road, the Rock returns to the Ajax Community Centre on Sat- urday for a date with the league’s best team from Owen Sound which has compiled a perfect 9- 0-0 record. “We were disappointed with our result last time in Owen Sound, so this time we hope to show more of what we are made of,” said Veltman, referring to a 19-7 setback recently. “We feel we’re a good team. We have to all play well to have success. We showed in Norwood that when we play like that, we’re a pretty tough team to contend with.” Playing a home game this time out will be a welcomed advan- tage, said Veltman. “It’s a big floor at the ACC and it’s more conducive to our style which is more up-tempo, run- and-gun style.” Game time is 7 p.m. Pickering sprinter will be in 100m race against Usain Bolt BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- When Anson Henry sets his feet into the blocks for the start of the men’s 100m race at the Festival of Excellence tonight, he knows the fan base will over- whelmingly be pulling for Jamai- ca’s Usain Bolt. The two staunch supporters he will have, however, are his mom and dad. And that’s only because their son is in the race. “My parents are Jamaican and they are really big Usain Bolt fans when I’m not in the race,” said the 30-year-old Pickering native on Wednesday during a phone PHOTO BY MICHAEL JURYSTA Everyone together now PICKERING -- A helmsman and drummer kept a straining crew on course June 6 at the annual Dragon Boat Festival on Frenchman’s Bay. FESTIVAL OF EXCELLENCE Henry looking for some ‘love’ SR. B LACROSSE Rock find way to win on road interview from Toronto. “Even my mom was joking with me, saying, ‘I’m Usain’s number one fan. Just not when you’re in the race.’ They are big Usain fans. “Hopefully some of the Jamai- can fans will give me some love, too, because my parents are Jamaican and it’s in my blood.” Henry will be pitted against the No. 1 sprinter in the world in the marquee event at the Festival of Excellence, being held at the Var- sity Centre in Toronto. The 100m race is scheduled to start at 8:21 p.m. Since representing Canada at the Olympic Games in Bei- jing, China in the 100m and the 4x100m relay last August, Henry has made a couple of changes. He switched coaches, resulting in his move from California, where he has been stationed the past cou- ple of years, to Arlington, Texas. The change has had some posi- tive results. “I’m in really good shape. I’ve just had a few hamstring issues, but I’m feeling good and ready to get my season going.” He has competed in a couple of events leading into tonight and will use this race as a stepping stone for the Canadian Cham- pionships later this month, fol- lowed by the World Champion- ships in Germany later this sum- mer. He’s excited about racing so close to home, but not intimidat- ed by the fact he will be running against Bolt. “I’ve been in a lot of big races in my career,” he said. “It’s good the attention he is bringing out here. From that standpoint, that bene- fits me.” He plans on returning to Texas on Friday for more training before making the trek back up here at the end of the month for Nation- als. A couple of other Durham Region athletes will also be com- peting tonight, as Whitby’s Priscil- la Lopes-Schliep and Pickering’s Perdita Felicien will race against each other in the 100m hurdles. The News Advertiser will be at the event with full details appearing in Friday’s edition and online at www.newsdurhamregion.com. I felt even in overtime it looked like we were dominating. It just felt like we were ahead of them in all aspects of the game as far as conditioning.
