The 61-year-old said the land she and her hus- band own in north Pickering, which is up for sale and not currently attractive due to the increasing garbage, is being used as a dump. One of the entrances to the land is filled with heavy bags of sod, something Mrs. Bitondo admits may be from locals, as well as garbage. But the next entrance is filled with random trash from printers to sports equipment to lawn chairs. “The garbage is strewn all over,” she said assess- ing the garbage Thursday morning. “That’s not nice. That’s a shame.” The Toronto civic strike began on Monday, June 22, and City garbage, green bin and recycling col- lection has also halted.

HEALTH CARE 2 Present for preemies Ajax-Pickering hospital gets gift from Mayor’s Gala COMMUNITY 4 One penny at a time Ajax boy raises money for Sick Kids hospital SPORTS 20 Pickering teen signs Midfielder off to New Hampshire on scholarship newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 3, 20092 AP Hospital gets equipment for nursery, thanks to funds raised through annual Mayor’s Gala event BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ajax-Pickering hospital staff members were thrilled to get a piece of equipment last week they’ve long been living without. “I think we were without a transport incubator for almost two years so we were delighted to have this added to our team,” said Susan Fyfe, Rouge Valley Health System program director for women’s and children’s programs. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan presented a new state-of-the-art transport incubator to the labour and delivery unit at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital Thursday. It’s used when a stable pre- mature or low-birth weight baby has to be relocated. About 1,600 babies are delivered at RVAP a year, Ms. Fyfe said, and those under 34 weeks at the time of birth must be transferred to a hospital that specialize in preemies. The apparatus, like a self-contained neonatal intensive care unit on wheels that can be transport- ed in either an ambulance or a helicopter, main- tains an environment of controlled temperature, humidity and oxygen concentration for the baby. The light-weight plastic apparatus has a large door and portholes for easy access to the infant. “It’s an exciting opportunity for us and for the babies we have here,” Ms. Fyfe said. RVAP had a transport incubator in the past, but it came to a point where it couldn’t be fastened in an ambulance anymore and hospital staff had to rely on other hospitals to help transfer the preemies. Mayor Ryan was pleased to donate to the new- born unit, especially since his newest grandchild was born at RVAP in April. “I now have a personal stake in this hospital,” he said. The apparatus cost $42,000 and the transport frame was an extra $7,000. The incubator was purchased with money raised at the Fourth Annual Mayor’s Gala, which raises money for the Rouge Valley Health System Foun- dation each year, along with different organizations each time. This year’s event accumulated $130,000, totalling about $430,000 since the gala’s inception.

HURRY IN!Courtroom outburst: ‘I didn’t kill him’ BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Even as he was being sentenced to prison with a judge’s recommendation he never be released, convicted killer Paul Cyr forcefully denied any role in the mur- der of a trucker found dead in Pickering three years ago. Mr. Cyr, who had stood passively for sev- eral minutes Thursday morning as Supe- rior Court Justice Bryan Shaughnessy admonished him for the brutal murder, finally interrupted as the judge described how the killing had impacted the family of victim Donald Woods. “I didn’t kill him,” Mr. Cyr said forcefully. “The jury thought otherwise,” Justice Shaughnessy replied. “I didn’t kill him!” Mr. Cyr repeated, more loud- ly. The judge ordered Mr. Cyr, 52, to sit in the pris- oner’s dock as he com- pleted the sentencing. While the sentence was a formality -- Canadian law dictates a life sen- tence with no parole for 25 years upon conviction for first-degree murder -- Justice Shaugh- nessy added his own recommendation that Mr. Cyr, now a two-time convicted killer, never be freed from penitentiary. “There’s little or no hope of rehabilitation for him ... he poses a serious danger to this community and to any community,” the judge noted as Mr. Woods’s family mem- bers, including his wife Nicole, looked on. “It is my recommendation to the parole board that Paul Cyr should never be released from custody.” Jurors returned Tuesday afternoon with a verdict after deliberating a little over a day. They found Mr. Cyr of Montreal guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of Mr. Woods, a 35-year-old Brockville-area trucker found dead in the sleeper cab of his truck in Pickering on June 23, 2006. Mr. Woods, who last spoke to his wife from a truck stop in Belleville on the eve- ning of June 21, 2006, had been shot point- blank in the back of the head with a shot- gun. His cargo, $40,000 worth of air-chilled chicken, had been stolen. The Crown’s theory was that Mr. Cyr, a fellow trucker who knew Mr. Woods, abducted and murdered the victim with the intention of selling the chicken. At trial jurors saw security video placing Mr. Cyr at the 10 Acre truck stop at the same time as Mr. Woods the night he went missing, and were presented with phone records indi- cating Mr. Cyr was in the GTA and in contact with a food-processing busi- ness where the chicken was sold that same night. In his final address to the jury prosecutor Jin- won Kim acknowledged the circumstantial nature of the Crown’s case, but insisted evidence point- ed to the “irresistible” conclusion Mr. Cyr is the killer. This week’s finding of guilt is the sec- ond murder conviction for Mr. Cyr. He was found guilty of second-degree murder in 1988 for the stabbing death of a man in a botched drug robbery and released on parole in 2001. Jurors at this trial were not told of the prior murder conviction. After an intensive investigation by Dur- ham police, Mr. Cyr was arrested for the murder of Mr. Woods in October of 2006.

Call for Details! Alex Khan, 10, pays it forward by collecting change BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Every penny counts for an Ajax boy fundraising for Sick Kids. Ten-year-old Alex Khan is collecting change for the Hospital for Sick Children and he’s amassed almost a bucketful from friends, family and his classmates at Alexander Graham Bell Public School. Alex has an auto-immune disorder that affects his lungs and he visits the hos- pital, on average, once a month. About two and a half years ago, he spent three months in the hospital. “I’m a patient there and it’s a really good hospital,” he said. “Good care, a lot of good nurses, great people.” Alex started his fundraising campaign by cre- ating flyers and with help from his little broth- er Robert, posting them around the communi- ty. He also put out a box at his school and made announcements over the PA. And even though school is out, Alex is still ask- ing the community to dig deep for donations. He’ll be collecting until mid-July. “If you have pennies sitting around your purse or home, our motto is every penny counts,” he said. Alex and Robert, the official accountant, will be totalling it up after that and they’re hoping to raise $1,500. “They’re very excited about it when someone drops off a bag of pennies; they’re like we got anoth- er one,” said Alex’s moth- er, Anna Khan. “They put a lot of effort into it.” Alex will have a little help in reaching his goal as his aunt has promised to match anything he rais- es, and he says he has no problem bankrupting her if it comes down to it. “Seriously, I will,” he said. Donations can be dropped off at 19 Weekes Dr. in Ajax. COMMUNITY Ajax boy penny pinches for Sick Kids hospital If you have pennies sitting around your purse or home, our motto is every penny counts.

It will be located in the Taunton and Aud- ley roads area beside the existing Sportsplex. Before coming to the general government committee, Town staff and the architects for the project consulted community groups and residents in the area, including holding a public meeting. Howie Dayton, director of recreation and culture for the Town, said the goal is to create a community centre that serves people of all ages and ethnicities. “Today’s really about seeking your input,” said Mr. Dayton to councillors last Thursday. Architect David Miller said the project team will complete three conceptual designs for the centre this summer and present a pre- ferred concept in September. At the end of that month, the public will be consulted at an open house. The current plans include: three pools with a lane pool, a leisure pool and a hot tub; a full-size basketball court which can be divid- ed into three smaller courts or configured for other sports; a group fitness studio and car- dio and weight training areas; community areas for meetings, art programs and more; a youth area including a lounge, pool tables, computers and video games; and a preschool play area, with low sinks and toilets, geared toward younger children. And the halls and lobbies will also encour- age active recreation and will include special features. “I know a green wall is hoped for and hopefully we can integrate that into the lobby,” said Mr. Miller. He added the building can be equipped with features that would earn it a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design silver certification. Among the community’s requests were gender-specific and universal family change rooms, modesty screens for all-female swims, parent with stroller parking and healthy choices at the concession stands. The facility will also include outdoor fea- tures with most of the space as passive green space as opposed to being configured for a particular sport. This will allow for multiple uses.The Town is considering adding a crick- et pitch, beach volleyball courts, a skate park and a splash pad. “Can there be some flexibility built in, if it does arise that a library is necessary in phase one?” asked Coun. Renrick Ashby. “Yes,” responded Mr. Dayton. Coun. Ashby also asked whether the facili- ties could serve elite athletes, pointing to the number of elite athletes who attend Pickering High School, and have the potential to host tournaments. Mr. Dayton said if that’s what councillors want, it would be considered. “We’re open to it, it’s just can we afford it,” he said. The cur- rent price tag for the centre sits at $18.4 mil- lion for the community centre and $1.25 mil- lion for the surrounding park. But the costs will likely fluctuate and increase if the Town wants more features. RECREATION Three pools considered for new Ajax centre & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

As an American in Ajax, I am continu- ally amused and confused by Canadians. Why is it that on Canada Day, the day Canadians should and would presum- ably focus solely on Canada, yet anoth- er column is published bashing America and stereotyping Americans? Last year it was a News Advertiser edi- torial, this year a column by a Dutch immigrant. Dirk van der Werf’s generalizations about Americans are comical. To suggest that all 300 million Ameri- cans are “brash, presumptuous, in-your- face, and almost superficial” is simply ignorant. As far as health care, Mr. van der Werf conveniently fails to point out that the 265 million Americans who do have health care do not have to wait for it - - what a novel concept: not waiting for health care! On American Independence Day, rest assured there will be no editorials or let- ters in any American newspapers bash- ing Canada and Canadians. Instead, the focus will solely be on the country, which is where it should be. Why do Canadians have to bash Amer- ica and Americans to feel good on Cana- da Day? Laszlo I. Buda Ajax ENVIRONMENT Incineration is best option for now To the editor: I don’t see another viable option for dis- posing of residual waste other than through incineration. The zero waste solution being pushed by some is unworkable at our community level. Zero waste occurs when manufac- turers and producers make products that come in completely recyclable containers and the products themselves need to be 100 per cent recyclable as well. This type of pressure cannot come from Durham Region alone -- zero waste requires a concerted national and inter- national effort to reduce packaging and make end products recyclable. That is why, for now, incineration is the best option. Do what you can to cut consumption and waste in your own lives so that you are not contributing as much material to the incin- erator. That is the best thing Durham resi- dents can do for now. James McGowan Oshawa ENERGY We must look beyond nuclear energy for other options To the editor: Now that the provincial government has put the Darlington nuclear new build on hold indefinitely, it is time to reconsider the mas- sive subsidies that have been lavished on the nuclear industry at the expense of taxpayers in Ontario and the rest of Canada. Durham Region has been a net beneficiary of nuclear largesse but relying on a few large employers exposes the region to political decisions beyond local control. The unthink- able happened to GM and the new build that everyone was counting on is no longer a sure thing. The current jobs at the Darlington sta- tion are not going away anytime soon, but it is time to look forward to the thousands of good jobs that could be generated by small- er scale enterprises in wind, solar and hydro energy production, as well as harnessing inventiveness in energy saving products and services. Louis Bertrand Clarington Mayor’s Gala gives newborns new lease on life The need to move low birth-weight babies from Rouge-Valley Ajax-Pickering Hospital has been an ongoing problem for several years now. But the problem has been solved thanks to some timely help from Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan. The Mayor’s Gala, a fundraising bonan- za which generates money for all man- ner of causes in the community, raised $130,000 this year bringing the four-year tally to $430,000. That’s a lot of cash from generous peo- ple in the community who bid on auc- tion items and contribute to help out their friends and neighbours. In the last year Mayor Ryan was able to kick in $49,000 for a transport incubator for low birth-weight babies so they can be moved from RVAP to another facil- ity. The local hospital has been without an incubator for the past couple of years and this donation certainly couldn’t have come at a better time according to hospi- tal staff. “I think we were without a transport incubator for almost two years so were delighted to have this added to our team,” said Susan Fyfe, Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem program director for women’s and children’s programs. At a time when provincial health bud- gets are stretched to the absolute limit and dollars are scarce, it’s gratifying to see the mayor step up and provide help where it’s needed. As Ms. Fyfe says, “It’s an exciting oppor- tunity for us and for the babies we have here.” The apparatus is critical for low-weight babies -- those under 34 weeks at time of birth who need to be transferred from one hospital to another. It provides an environment with a con- trolled temperature, humidity and oxy- gen concentration and has large door and portholes for access to the child. This new piece of equipment will liter- ally help save lives in years to come and is an ideal addition to the hospital’s arse- nal. And it has some personal meaning for Mayor Ryan as well. His newest grand- child was born at Rouge Valley Ajax- Pickering this past April. “I now have a personal stake in this hos- pital,” he said while on hand to present the new piece of equipment. And Mayor Ryan’s fund will make RVAP a safer place for all future mothers and babies as well. 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 WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 3, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 3, 20097 AP EXT: 2082 PRIME WHITBY LOCATION Realty Inc., Brokerage 1-800-396-1058 Durham: 905-556-0540 Toronto Line: 416-548-7870 For more property listings, visit: www.reccmox.com • Stunning all brick 6 yrs old home, ceramics • 4 bdrms, 4pc ensuite & separate shower • Ceramic ﬂ oor and 5 appliances 24 Hrs.

And that’s part of the reason he received the 2009 Pickering Senior of the Year award in June, which is also Senior’s Month. Mr. Sutton moved from Scarborough to Pickering in 1985 and has been married to his wife, Carol Sutton, for 49 years. The cou- ple has three daughters and seven grand- children. “We moved here to get the country atmosphere and get a bigger house for our growing family,” he said. Although he added Pickering is growing fast, he still enjoys “the fresh air, and it’s an environmentally sensitive community.” Mr. Sutton retired from Bell Canada in 1990 after 34 years of service, and shortly after, began volunteering in the community. “It gives me something to do,” he said. “It keeps me busy. It gives me purpose.” To name just a few of his accomplishments Mr. Sutton: is chairman of the industrial/ commercial task force for the Ajax-Pickering- Uxbridge United Way; serves on the Rouge Valley Hospital Gala Committee; is on the Pickering Mayor’s Gala committee; is vice chairman of the Veridian Hydro Corporation board of directors; and serves on the York- Durham Big Pipe Advisory Committee as Pickering’s representative. Mr. Sutton felt humbled to receive the award, especially since his family could see his efforts. “I’ve got grandkids and they said ‘Wow, I didn’t know you did all that’,” he said. And Mr. Sutton won’t be surprised if his grandchildren move in the direction of volun- teering; it runs in the family. Mrs. Sutton also lends her time to the community. She won a volunteer award at the 2006 Pickering Civic Awards for her work on various organizations such as the Mayor’s Gala Committee and Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax and Pickering. “We’re kind of embedded in each other,” he said. When Mr. Sutton isn’t helping the com- munity, he enjoys fishing, swimming, relax- ing at his cottage and playing pool. FAST FACTS Why volunteer? Volunteering has its perks for Mr. Sutton, but they’re not of the financial variety. Here are the joys he gets from volunteering: P is for the people you help and the people you meet E is for education R is for rewards it gives to those in need K is for the kindness you give out and the kindness you receive S is for sustainability, because without volunteers, these organizations wouldn’t be able to survive COMMUNITY Pickering senior of the year humbled by award METROLAND FILE PHOTO PICKERING -- Ralph Sutton, accompa- nied by his wife Carol, was honoured as Pickering’s Senior of the Year.

Calendar AJAX -- A blockade of an Ajax parts plant is over, the Canadi- an Auto Workers (CAW) union announced on June 29. BBi Enterprises Inc.’s Ajax plant manufactured hood and dash acoustic insulators for General Motors, Chrysler and Toyota. Work- ers set up the blockade on June 22 after being told they would be laid off and there was no money left over for severance because the car companies hadn’t paid their bills. Their goal was to prevent the car manufacturers from retrieving their tooling and equipment. Last week, the union negotiated deals with Chrysler and two Toyota suppliers, which will see part of the severance covered by them. The union says General Motors is the only company that hasn’t agreed to make a payment to the workers, but they agreed to meet with the union. The CAW also said GM made several attempts to pick up their equipment but was rebuffed by workers. “Without a doubt, this is a vic- tory for our members and for our union,” said Steve Batchelor, CAW Local 1090 president. “Our mem- bers showed tremendous resolve and proved, once again, that fight- ing back makes a difference.” LABOUR Union members end blockade at Ajax parts plant PICKERING -- A 15-year-old boy has been charged with the sex- ual assault of a woman who was attacked in her Pickering home in February. It’s believed the suspect is a for- mer neighbour of the 59-year-old woman, who was sexually assault- ed after she awoke to find some- one inside her Krosno Boulevard home sometime after midnight on Feb. 14, Durham police said. After a lengthy investigation the boy was arrested at a Whitby res- idence Thursday morning. Police say information from the public as well as DNA evidence assisted the investigation. The teenager is to be charged with sexual assault. His identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Mrs. Biton- do said the dumping has been going on for some time, but has noticed an increase since the strike began. Dumping probably encourages others to do the same, she said, so she asks that people simply stop. “The other day it was so smelly,” she said. “We try to keep our Ajax and Pickering clean.” Neighbour Anne Baun says the problem has been continuous for the past few years. “I feel like we live between two garbage dumps,” she said, adding the dumping takes away from her nice property, which people often compliment. Mrs. Bitondo and her husband have put rocks on at least one entrance to deter the dumping, but she thinks people should just take their waste to a legal dump. But she may have to take it to the transfer station herself, which costs about $100 per 1,000 kilograms, said Richard Holborn, Pick- ering’s division head of municipal property and engineering. “If it ends up on their property, unfor- tunately they’re the new owners of it,” he said, adding illegal dumping is something the City deals with occasionally on its own property. “Unless we catch somebody in the act of doing it we can’t do anything (about) it,” he said. Even if mail is found in a garbage bag, the City cannot charge the person the envelope is addressed to because it could have been dumped by someone else, such as a compa- ny that person has hired to remove waste. If people see someone illegally dumping, how- ever, they can call Eyes on the Street at 905-420- 4666. Although the pro- gram’s main purpose is to notify the property owner of vandalism or dumping, or remove it if it’s on City land, Pickering will follow up if there’s a vehicle description, time and date. Mr. Holborn thinks Mrs. Bitondo’s idea to put rocks on the driveways is a good deter- rent. Although the City used to patrol illegal dumping regularly in the past, especially with the closing of the Brock West Landfill in the late 1990s, it’s now done very mini- mally. “We’ve tried to heighten our patrols on the west end because of the strike,” he said. PICKERING from page 1 ILLEGAL DUMPING Pickering resident must pay to get rid of other’s trash: City I feel like we live between two garbage dumps. Anne Baun SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PICKERING -- Cathy Bitondo, a resident and landowner in Pickering, believes the Toronto workers’ strike has meant an uptick in illegal dumping as all manner of garbage has ended up on her property. The City, however, claims there’s little it can do unless the perpetrators are caught in the act of dumping. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 3, 200913 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 3, 200914 AP WE’VE GOT YOUR SIZE Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING COOL & LIGHT MAKE ONE SMALL MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR ALL YOUR DEBTS!

Remaking StoneCircle Theatre RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND DURHAM -- Courtice resident Ken Bond, co-founder of StoneCircle Theatre, which has been based in Ajax for five years, is expanding the company to create a Durham-wide focus.

Courtice resident Ken Bond aiming to make it ‘more varied and flexible’ BY MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com COURTICE -- StoneCircle The- atre’s next season is “a little open”, says Ken Bond. After a five-year run of offer- ing quality theatre in Ajax, he’s moving it to east Durham while at the same time expanding it to the entire region. While ideas abound, exactly what’s going to happen and when is a bit up in the air. Bond, an award-winning playwright, wants to be able to spend more time writing. He wants StoneCircle to be “more varied and flexible,” to be a vehicle for play development in Durham, to be able to offer very specific, theatrical expe- riences to audiences large and small, from a traditional theatre setting to a local group’s annual general meeting, from a play to a one-person monologue. “There’s stuff involved in managing a facility. You have to be creative, but not necessarily creative in a way I’d like to be,” he says, starting to laugh. He says his writing has taken a back seat over the last two years as he’s dealt with a range of issues that came with the ter- ritory as the StoneCircle front man at the Village Community Centre theatre. Bond began operating in Ajax, he says, because at the time he was living in Whitby and there was no theatre in Ajax. From the outset, the goal was to work with experienced, accomplished actors and they would be sought out for roles. Rarely, if a few actors were being considered for a part, they would be asked to read with an actor or actors who had already been cast so that the director could make a decision. Audi- tions were by invitation. “StoneCircle isn’t a commu- nity theatre, never has been,” Bond says. “We see ourselves as a theatre for the community.” He recalls providing 20 min- utes or so of entertainment at a golf club’s annual tournament in the first season in Ajax, not- ing it was well received. It’s the kind of thing he’d like to do and plans to do more of. “We did a little bit and in the second season we went to four plays and that was emphasized,” Bond says. “It’s something that I enjoyed and wanted to get back into.” He envisions offering compa- nies and associations “oppor- tunities to have entertain- ment custom-designed or writ- ten specifically for them,” from monologues to short plays. And, with a number of very good writers in the region, Bond says the type of entertainment offered can even be tailored to a particular venue. “We can choose the material and actors that allow us to pres- ent something very specific,” Bond says. As for having a home base like the Village theatre, Bond says “possibly. “If it falls in our lap,” he says. I’m not sure.” While he’s figuring out plans for the coming season, Bond’s working on a series of vignettes he calls Limbo. He says the common element will be mailboxes and the let- ters people receive. “Something that they’ve received will put them in a state of limbo,” Bond says, adding their responses will vary. “It’ll depend on what information they receive.” Bond advises theatre-lovers to stay tuned to the website, www. stonecircletheatre.com, to see what’s in store for the coming season. “StoneCircle isn’t a community theatre, never has been. We see ourselves as a theatre for the community.

Alpheus Jones links tropical, local landscapes Pickering artist enjoys the immediacy of working outdoors Pickering painter Alpheus Jones recently returned to his native Bahamas to reconnect with his beloved and root landscape: the lush tropical flora and turquoise- hued waters of the Caribbean. He did some en plein air (in the open air) sketching and shot photographs and also took the opportunity to connect with the largest gallery in Nassau to dis- cuss the showing of some of his works. When talking about his art, he speaks about the landscape of his adopted country: the verdant foliage and the multi-coloured water surfaces of rural Ontario, where he has travelled and paint- ed extensively. And he shows the same kind of passion he maintains for those distant tropical vistas. The artist talks glowingly and expansively about the immediacy, the cap- turing of the moment, the great teaching that working out-of- doors brings to the en plein air artist. Although he had no specific art training in his youth, Jones credits rubbing shoulders with international and local artists and watching them working on location and in their studios for inspiring him to teach himself how to paint. And having young contempo- raries go off to study in Canada (at OCAD in Toronto) and to the Artist League in New York was important in opening him up to the idea of widening his horizons and locating himself in other landscapes. Making a living outside of art - - the conundrum for all creative souls -- has forced him to train and work in various insurance and financial positions over the years and he continues that to the present, offering accounting and tax services from his home in the Frenchman’s Bay area of Pickering. Here he maintains a home stu- dio, where he finishes off some of his en plein air pieces and works up studio paintings from refer- ence photography. Jones has shown extensively in solo and group shows across Ontario. He is presently working towards a major exhibition in a yet-to-be-determined venue in Durham Region. He will be following the muse of his ongoing affection for water surfaces and treed landscapes, but will also include small-town themes in which he, increasing- ly, portrays local figures strolling past the “lived-in” strips of hous- es and businesses.

Lawn arden Advertising FeatureG&Home, Nutritionists have long touted the health benefi ts of green tea. It’s power-packed with antioxidants, making it a disease fi ghter and generally healthy brew to enjoy. But the benefi ts of green tea do not need to end at tea time. Green tea leaves can be recycled for many other purposes around the home and garden. The “green” in green tea can take on a new connotation when this environmentally friendly product is used in new ways. The same antioxidant ingredients in green tea are also known for their odor-absorbing abilities. Tea is loaded with catechins - the antioxidant substances. The catechins have antibacterial properties that make tea leaves great for fi ghting odor. Usually the tea leaves need to be dried before use as a deodorizer. To do so, simply put the wet tea leaves into a strainer and spread out. Press the leaves to remove as much moisture as possible. Then allow to air dry, turning the leaves over several times in the process. Pet Beds/Litter Boxes: Sprinkle dried tea leaves onto a pet bed, blanket or pillow. The leaves will help dissipate any foul pet odors. The same technique can be applied with litter boxes. The tea leaves help remove odor and can repel fl eas from dogs and cats. Carpeting: Skip the chemical carpet deodorizer and use dried tea leaves instead. Sprinkle over the carpet, let sit 10 to 15 minutes and then vacuum. Refrigerator/Kitchen: Put used wet tea leaves or bags in a bowl in the refrigerator to help absorb odors from strong-smelling foods. Wet tea leaves can also be used to rid hands of the smell of garlic or onions after preparation. Garden: Sprinkle the tea leaves into the garden as a form of mulch and nutrition to plants. Cleaning: In some Eastern cultures, a solution of tea is used to disinfect and cleanse things like yoga and sleeping mats. Use tea for deodorizing and cleaning where applicable. Just note that wet tea leaves can stain, so test in an inconspicuous area before using on a large area.

Pickering goalie earns scholarship BY SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A chance encoun- ter with a university soccer coach worked out well for Sarah Dobush. The 18-year-old Pickering res- ident was attending a training camp with the Super-Y select team in 2008, and that is where she met one of the guest instructors, Michael Jackson, who also serves as head coach of the women’s soc- cer program at the University of New Hampshire. Fast forward to this spring, and the roots planted in that first meet- ing ended up paying the ultimate dividend when Dobush put pen to paper and signed a scholarship to join the Wildcats program this fall. “It’s really surreal,” Dobush says of having signed the scholarship. “It was one of the things growing up that I really wanted to happen but didn’t think it would. To actu- ally have it happen is unbeliev- able.” A midfielder until the age of 10, Dobush never advanced above the house league level. However, a desire to take the next step led her between the pipes, as a switch to goaltending was suggested by the rep team coach at the time. That undoubtedly turned out to be a change for the better. With it came a whole new batch of challenges. “The coach of the rep team knew me and knew I could play goalie,” recalls the 5-foot-10 netminder. “He was straight up with me and my parents and said ‘Sarah, if she wants to play rep isn’t good enough as a midfield’. So I had to make the decision to pick being a goalten- der. That added a whole bunch of practices and extra training. “I basically had to start all over again,” she adds. Dedication to her craft over the past few years helped Dobush make the transition to playing goal and since then she has enjoyed some immense success. Now in her second year with the Oshawa Kicks program, Dobush has an Ontario Cup and OYSL U18 championship to her credit, while as a previous member of the Toronto Lynx pro- gram, the Dunbarton High School graduate had the opportunity to train with the Lynx’s W-League team, which helped lead to her spot on the Super-Y selects. After meeting Jackson, Dobush and New Hampshire were in con- tact while she attempted to deter- mine her future. That process included giving consideration to attend Boston University and Bing- hamton University. The family even went as far as planing a trip back in March to visit the three schools, with the first, and only real necessary stop being New Hampshire. “(It) was the first school we went to and I just knew when I got there that that was where I wanted to live,” Dobush recalls. “That’s where I wanted to be. I looked at other schools, but it was one of things that I knew I wanted.” Dobush has been put on a strict training plan for the summer to prepare for her freshmen season. In addition, it was recently announced that Dobush has been chosen to participate in the Cana- dian U20 Women’s National Team’s camp in Denver, Colorado July 3 to 16. Talk about coming a long way from when she first hit the pitch. “My parents put me in house league when I was like five and my mom always tells me I com- plained about it and that I really didn’t want to do it,” Dobush notes. “I used to cry and stuff, but I ended up growing to love it.” Having played on many teams since then, there is one stop along the way that Dobush speaks espe- cially high of. “I have actually loved it,” she says of tending goal in Oshawa for the Kicks. “I have been on a lot of dif- ferent teams all over the place ... but honestly after every team I have played for this is the one that makes me feel the happiest. The group of girls are fantastic. It’s an amazing team.”newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 3, 200920 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com SOCCER Dobush saves one for New Hampshire PHOTO BY WALTER PASSARELLA PICKERING -- Sarah Dobush will be heading to the University of New Hampshire this fall to study sport psychology on a soccer scholar- ship. TRACK AND FIELD Felicien initiates fundraiser Pickering hurdler hopes to raise $7000 for Right To Play BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Now that she has her hurdles career back on track, Perdita Felicien has another proj- ect she hopes takes flight. The Pickering athlete is attempt- ing to raise $7,000 by the end of her competitive season in September for the Right To Play foundation, which helps bring sport to kids in disadvantaged areas. Felicien has pledged to donate $12.46, the equivalent to her personal best in the 100m hurdles, every time she races. She’s asking Canadians, fans, friends and anyone who believes in the program to donate the same. A member of the group since 2007, the 28-year-old wanted to take her involvement to another level. “I want to do more than just be a name or go to the sponsor dinners and sign autographs,” she says. “I decided to put my money where my mouth is.” Started in 1992, Right To Play is an international humanitar- ian organization that raises funds through sport for some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world. A number of Olympic athletes from around the world have joined in support of the program. “In Canada, it’s something we don’t really have to think about because kids are always outside playing,” says Felicien of the advan- tages kids in this country enjoy, compared to others around the world. Anyone wishing to donate to the initiative can visit www.righttoplay. com/perdita for more information. Felicien has a busy schedule planned leading up to the World Championships from Aug. 18-19 in Germany. Her July includes races in Norway (July 3), Switzerland (July 7), Rome (July 10), Monaco (July 28) and Sweden (July 31). SR.

The cash in the trade with Kahnawake helped formulate another deal with the Ohsweken Warriors that would have seen sniper Jason Henhawk in a Rock uniform. But some three hours after the deal was made, Hen- hawk decided he didn’t want to report to the Rock, and was sub- sequently dealt to St. Regis of the Major Series League. “I was very disappointed because the deal was done, everything was in place and we had agreed on the terms,” said St. John. The next deadline comes July 15, when teams are allowed to sign released players, providing they have an open spot on the roster. St. John says he has one card available for the right player if one is available. Friday night the Rock hosts Brooklin in a game that will go a long way in determining third place. The Rock sits one point behind Brooklin with just five games remaining in the season. Game time at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre is 8 p.m. The Rock hosts Wellington on Saturday at 7 p.m. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 3, 200921 AP Patriots busy PICKERING -- The West Dur- ham Patriots will get a couple of stiff tests to see if they are playoff ready over the next four days. With just four games remain- ing in the Ontario Lacrosse Asso- ciation Jr. C season, two of those will come against the first place club from Peterborough (11-1-0), beginning tonight at the Pickering Recreation Complex, with a rematch Monday in Pickering, both at 8 p.m. In between, the Patriots will hit the road for a game in Kingston on Sunday afternoon. The Patriots enter the weekend with a 4-7-0 mark, just two points up on fourth place Kingston. In their most recent outing, the Patriots rolled over Shelburne 10-6, as Gareth Gibson led the way with a goal and three assists, while Spencer Bentley and Spen- cer Takeda chipped in with a pair of markers each. Ryan Gilm- our, Blake Fraser, Kyle Kropman, George Jimas and Ben Sawyer had one goal each. Todd Nakasu- ji and Jason Armstrong had three assists each. JR. C LACROSSE FOOTBALL Ajax-Pickering Dolphins tame the Bears by a touchdown GUELPH -- The Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins Junior OV team improved its record to 4-1 and moved into a tie for first place in its division with a win against the Guelph Bears. This game was played in heavy rain and sloppy field conditions. In the first quarter, defensive end Adeem Bembridge was able to get into the backfield for a big sack on the Bears QB, followed by an interception for a turnover. But the Bears scored first early in the sec- ond quarter to take a 7-0 lead. The Dolphins were quick to come back three plays later with a 50- yard pass/run combination from QB Mike Stobbart to Keith Cyrus for the major and a tie game. Guelph, rated No. 1 in passing to start the season, was not ready to give up the fight and again worked its way back down field and to regain the lead. The passing game kept the Dol- phins’ corners of Taylor Eskins and Evan Joynze on their toes all game as Guelph continued to go to the air. The half would close with the Dolphins trailing 14-7. The Dolphins started the second half strong with the defence con- tinually getting in the backfield with sacks from Rielly Johnson, Tarique Anderson and Justin Smith having an effect and getting the ball back in the hands of the Dolphins offence. The platooning of QB’s Stobbart and Downer confused the Bears’ defence and allowed the Dolphins to change directions. With a com- bination of passing and running, Downer took the Dolphins deep with passes to receiver Toi Simon, followed by a 15-yard run by Keith Cyrus for his second major of the game. A convert by Finlay Thomp- son tied the game. The Bears were still not ready to give up and kept up the pressure, forcing a missed field goal attempt and a dropped punt to keep it close deep into the fourth quarter. The strength and depth of the Dolphins came through with solid running by D’Shane Chung and Tristan Clough, and passing by Downer ending with a 10-yard run for the major, and win, by Tristan Clough to seal the game 21-14. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 3, 200922 AP VIEW ON-LINE AT...
