He simply followed in his father’s footsteps. “He’s the ex-chief -- the first fire chief for the City of Pickering (then the Town of Pickering),” he said. For the same reason, it was an easy decision for his best friend at the time, now Platoon Chief Rick Ingram. The two became volun- teer firefighters together and were eventually hired on full time. Thirty-five years later, they were among the recipients at the Pickering Fire Services Awards Night on Tuesday at the Petticoat Creek Community Centre. Mr. Lynde, Mr. Ingram, Deputy Chief Gord Ferguson and Platoon Chief Brian Danks received provincial recognition for their 35 years of service with a Fire Services Long Ser- vice Bar. The federal Fire Services Long Ser- vice Medals were also handed out to those who have been with the service for 20 years. Pickering firefighters honoured DECADES OF SERVICE CELEBRATED AT CITY AWARDS NIGHT JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Pickering Fire Captain Greg Abbott, left, received honours for 20 years of service, along with Platoon Chief Rick Ingram for 35 years, on Oct. 20.

Our numbers are hope- fully going to go over the 2006 numbers,” said City Clerk Debbie Shields Tuesday. As of Monday night at 8 p.m., 1,331 residents had gone to the advance polls in the three days the polls had been open in Pickering, compared to the 1,476 who voted early after four days in the 2006 municipal election. “In three days, we’ve almost reached our 2006 four-day advance vote and we’re hoping to go over today,” she said on Tuesday. By the end of Tuesday when the last advance poll closed, 1,871 residents had cast their votes before election day - that’s nearly 400 more than in 2006. Ms. Shields found Friday quite busy with some lineups, Saturday to be a little quiet and Monday to be rather busy. As for total voters, just 28 per cent came out to vote in the 2006 election in Pickering. “Of course, we’re always hoping to get more, but it all depends on the voter,” Ms. Shields said. Although there are some interesting races this time around, Ms. Shields hasn’t noticed an increase in interest from the voters. “It’s pretty standard,” she said. “It’s not any- thing different than what it normally is.

Following a morning where the colonel admitted on tape in an interview with police to killing Corporal Marie-France Comeau and Jessica Lloyd, the afternoon session was taken up with dozens of victim impact statements being read into the record. In those letters, the writers try to explain their emotions after hearing about the mur- ders and the man who admitted to them. The court requested the media be sensitive to the identification of the writers. “The very person whose job it was to pro- tect my country and keep me safe is the very person who terrorized my community. .. Who can I trust?” wrote Lisa. “I constantly ask myself why. I have a feeling of guilt won- dering why she was chosen and why I am still here. My belief in God is diminished.” At times during the session, those read- ing the letters demanded that Col. Williams raise his head while he listened. “I despise Russell Williams. I am so angry that that man felt he had the right to take away someone I loved. I resent that he doesn’t even have the courage to look at me,” said one woman. At that point the colonel did raise his head and look at the woman. “I hope that man loses everything. I hate him,” she finished. One friend of Ms. Lloyd’s wrote, “Jessica was the love of my life (best friends). Every weekend we would have sleepovers. After her father passed away, I made a promise to myself I would take care of her and never let anyone hurt her. I failed.” “I told them that I knew Jessica was gone because I could no longer feel her with me. That was the day Russell Williams was stopped. Life as I knew it would never be the same. I never got the chance to say good- bye. He took that from me,” said another friend. Ms. Lloyd’s brother Andy also read a state- ment on behalf of his family, noting Col. Williams dishonoured the Canadian Forc- es. “Looking ahead, I can’t even imagine what Christmas will be like. I was looking forward to being an uncle almost as much as I was looked forward to being a father. I have been put through sheer agony since that moment,” he read. He read aloud how he felt Col. Williams was laughing each time he was on TV ask- ing someone to come forward with infor- mation about his sister. “I can’t help think that he laughed at me, saying ‘I know where she is, she’s in my garage.’ I am fighting depression, anxiety and have a terrible time sleeping. The only good thing to come from all this is these crimes have been stopped. It’s because of my sister that he was stopped.” When he finished ,the public and mem- bers of the media in the courtroom applaud- ed as he returned to his seat.

Proceeds from haircuts in October to help buy MRI KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The owner of a new men’s hair studio in Pickering is offering a generous promotion this month. One-hundred per cent of money from all haircuts will go to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital’s Image Is Everything cam- paign to purchase the hospital’s first MRI. “I’ve been in this business for 30 years and we’ve done promotions like this in the past,” said Domenic Bumbaca, owner of Maver- ick Studio For Men, located next to Eastside Mario’s at the Pickering Town Centre. The Mississauga resident opened his full- service, men’s-only salon on Oct. 12, and until Sunday, Oct. 31, Maverick is offering free men’s haircuts with a minimum donation of $15. All proceeds will go to the hospital. “If we could do a thousand clients in these weeks, that would be great,” the owner said. When Mr. Bumbaca first decided to open up a shop in Pickering, he immediately con- tacted the local hospital, and was then told about Image is Everything. The hospital hopes to raise $5 million by March in order to purchase a state-of-the-art MRI for the newly expanded diagnostic imaging centre. Mr. Bumbaca also hopes the gesture will give the hair studio some positive recogni- tion. “The reason we did that is we want to establish a goodwill in the community,” he said. The mall is at 1355 Kingston Rd.

WASTE No additional items can be added to Big Blue To the editor: Further to letter to the editor in your Oct. 13 News Advertiser from Jim Siddall, I am also amazed and concerned with the mon- ies spent to send out to all in the region these large boxes. The response to a recent e-mail I sent to councillor Scott Crawford (works commit- tee member) was that I should be pleased with their effort to divert much more from the waste presently being trucked to Mich- igan. My review, however, of their material is that nothing additional is being added to the small list of items we can already recy- cle. Arnold Jackson Ajax ENERGY Shorter billing provides more timely information: Veridian CEO To the editor: Re: ‘Smaller Veridian bill, shorter billing period’, letter to the editor, durhamregion. com, Sept. 18, 2010. I would like to respond to Mr. Swaga’s let- ter in which he stated that he was surprised to learn that Veridian has changed its three- month billing cycle to a two-month cycle. Mr. Swaga concluded that the change is an attempt to hide the impact of increasing electricity costs. The decision to move from quarterly to bi-monthly billing is to provide our cus- tomers with more timely information on their electricity use patterns as they shift to Time-of-Use (TOU) rates. The change in Veridian’s billing fre- quency was recommended and requested by many of our customers, and it brings Veridian’s billing practices in line with the majority of electricity distributors in the province. Veridian has been and will continue to provide its customers with advance notification of the shorter billing period. Affected customers are first notified of the change by direct mail approximately one month prior to the date that TOU rates are to take effect. A second notice is provided with the cus- tomer’s final quarterly invoice statement. Veridian is a community-owned ener- gy company that is committed to dealing with customers with honesty, fairness and respect. We strive to be transparent and open in the work that we perform -- pro- viding reliable, efficient and sustainable energy solutions and services that add value to customers and the communities that we serve. Michael Angemeer, P.Eng. President & CEO, Veridian Ajax SEWAGE York must bear responsibility for Big Pipe facility costs To the editor: Our water bills are to pay for York Region’s sewage? I’m a volunteer on the southeast collector advisory committee, which Ontario’s Min- ister of the eEvironment created in approv- ing the ‘Big Pipe’ that will carry one bil- lion litres of York Region’s sewage through Pickering every day to a treatment plant here before releasing it into Lake Ontario. I’m concerned Pickering will suffer envi- ronmental consequences of York’s Big Pipe (e.g. water pollution next to our drinking water supply intake, odours and poisonous gases released into the air). I also have financial concerns. York will pay to build the Big Pipe. After that, York and Durham will share the ongoing costs based on the volumes of treated sewage (the plant also treats our sewage from an existing pipe). But York’s Big Pipe includes some large, expensive components (e.g. odour control facility, corrosion control facility, air handling fans). When those wear out, any cost of repair or replacement to which Durham agrees will appear in our water billing rates! We should not pay to maintain York’s Big Pipe. Once the system components fail, our environment will suffer until fixes arrive, which could be delayed if the responsibili- ties are still fuzzy. All City council members should insist that York commit today to nothing short of immediate restoration to full working order at York’s sole cost to prepare for the eventual loss of effectiveness of the system components.

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 21, 20106 AP Many Durham votes cast, the rest needed to make a difference Advance polls in south Durham have seen an uptick in voter interest as the Oct. 25 elec- tion day nears, while Scugog and Uxbridge -- the traditional centres that enjoy the high- est voter turnout -- have seen a disappointing number of votes cast to date. In the southern communities -- Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington -- vot- ers have turned out to advance polls in great- er numbers in the days leading up to the 2010 municipal election, suggesting an over- all improvement in the level of engagement among municipal ratepayers. Ajax has seen the largest jump in advance poll numbers, up nearly 20 per cent over the 2006 election. That can be credited to the Town’s ambitious effort to raise awareness and interest among voters using some high- profile local residents to boost interest. It’s particularly encouraging given Ajax’s dubious distinction of consistently drawing the lowest number of voters in past municipal elections. Pickering, meanwhile, has seen a slight bump in numbers at advance polls in a com- munity that has several good races shaping up. Interest among voters in Whitby is also increasing, with 2.9 per cent of eligible voters casting ballots at advance polls, up a full per- centage point over 2006. Oshawa’s numbers are up only slightly, by approximately one- half of one per cent, while 2.3 per cent of eligi- ble Clarington voters, being offered advance polling for the first time since 1997, have cast early ballots. Taken as a whole, it appears voters are interested in making a difference in the 2010 municipal election. Voter engagement in Uxbridge and Scugog has traditionally been high; any disappointment over slightly lower ballot numbers should dissipate by the close of voting on Oct. 25. The important message contained in these numbers -- good or bad -- is that Durham Region voters who haven’t already made their ballot choices must make the effort to vote on Oct. 25. Those choices create the municipal councils and school boards that will touch our lives in various ways for the next four years. Those choices create the conditions in which tax rates are applied, schools are built or declared surplus and roads are built or maintained. Making a difference in the future is the vital foundation on which elections are built. Inform yourself. Resolve to make a choice. Cast a ballot and ensure that you are one of the individuals -- from Pickering to Clar- ington and up into Uxbridge and Scugog -- whose ballot helped make a difference in your community. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 21, 20107 AP Tightens:Skin on Face & Body up to 90% Reduces:Fine Lines & Wrinkles Eliminates:Capillaries, Rosacea & Sunspots Hair Removal:Only technology with FDA approval on the removal of all colours of hair including Blonde, Red, Gray & Fine “Peach Fuzz” - on all colours of skin including tanned skin.

Wastewater flows are nearing the rated capacity of the WPCP; therefore, the Region of Durham is initiating a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to plan for additional wastewater treatment capacity to service the Port Perry urban area. The study shall strive to accommodate the long-term goal of servicing all of the Port Perry urban area with municipal wastewater systems, including the areas currently serviced by private septic systems and holding tanks. The Study The study will follow Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process (as amended October 2007), and will satisfy the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA will define the issues to be addressed, identify feasible alternatives, evaluate the (technical, natural, social/cultural and economic) impacts of the alternatives, and recommend a solution. The Class EA process provides members of the public and agencies with opportunities for input and ensures that all comments are appropriately addressed and documented for the public record. Comments are encouraged as the study proceeds to facilitate resolution of issues before critical decisions are made. At the conclusion of the study, an Environmental Study Report will be filed for public review. In accordance with the Class EA process, all reasonable and feasible alternatives for providing additional wastewater treatment capacity will be considered. The alternatives to be considered, include: expansion of the existing Nonquon River WPCP, provision of a new local wastewater treatment facility, and the conveyance of wastewater to a Lake Ontario based treatment facility (in Whitby, Oshawa or Clarington). Advanced treatment technologies and innovative servicing strategies will be taken into account during the assessment of the alternatives. The Consultation Process Public and agency consultation is a key component of the Class EA process and the submission of comments is encouraged at any time during the study.

The suspect was found in a rent- al vehicle at the intersection of Waterloo Street and Ritson Road South in Oshawa and arrested without incident.

The fund is a permanent endowment established in 2006. Interest on the fund is used each year to support a range of char- itable organizations. As the endowment grows, more funds are available to support groups who serve the community. Until Dec. 31, donations are being lever- aged as Veridian donates $1 for every $3 raised for the fund. Upcoming events include the Nov. 13 Ajax Fall Classic Dance, which features live entertainment by the Nomads. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online at dur- hamcommunityfoundation/ajaxfund. Res- idents can also donate through the site. Diners who visit the Ajax Boston Pizza are invited to write “Ajax Community Fund” on their receipts and deposit it at the box near the entrance anytime during the year. At the end of the year, Boston Pizza will donate 10 per cent of the sales to the charity listed on the receipts. In fact, Boston Pizza is just one of sever- al local businesses that have pitched in to support the fund. On Sept. 24, a fundrais- ing day saw participation from them and Mount Everest Restaurant, The Village Ice Cream Shoppe and two Ajax Bank of Mon- treal branches. Employees at the Town organized an Applefest with pie baking contests, a bake sale and apples for sale. The apples were a donation from Stroud Farms and the baked goods from Baking At Its Best. Judy Wight, from the Town’s economic development, worked the tables and said people were lined up before the sale start- ed. “It was crazy,” she said. A total of $2,700 was raised and, because of the matching funds from Veridian, another $900 was donated. COMMUNITY Businesses and Town work to support Ajax Community Fund RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND AJAX -- Judy Wight and Rhonda Randazzo posed with some of the goodies available for sale at a recent fundraiser by Town employees for the Ajax Community Fund.

Mr. Stratton, who was arrested in June of 2006, has pleaded guilty to sexual assaults on nine victims, most of them children. Defence lawyer Alan Risen is trying to convince Ontario Court Justice Paul Bellefontaine that Mr. Stratton can be reintegrated into the community with the appropriate treatment and support. The judge must weigh the risk of Mr. Stratton re-offending against his prospects for successful treatment and rehabilitation. The judge could declare Mr. Stratton a dangerous offender, or designate him a long-term offender, subject to supervi- sion following his release from prison. Or he could reject both labels and sim- ply sentence Mr. Stratton to a finite jail term. Mr. Crisp said Mr. Stratton has consis- tently stated his willingness to comply with counselling and his desire to avoid any more legal troubles. “I think if Michael gets some psychiat- ric care on the outside, he will not come before the courts again, ever,” Mr. Crisp said. “He’s lost everything.” Friday court also heard from Mr. Stratton’s mother, Joyce, who said she believes that with the support of family and friends, the offender can successful- ly rejoin society. “He’s my son,” she told Mr. Risen. “You can’t turn the love button on and off.” Mrs. Stratton testified that if funding for therapy can’t be obtained through Mr. Stratton’s union, his family with foot the bill. “We paid you,” she told the lawyer. “We’ll pay the counsellor.” The sentencing hearing continues.

While they’re trained to take such actions, “They’d do it anyway because they’re just nice people,” the chief said. Mr. Danks said a desire to help the community was one of the reasons he got into the service in the first place. “We all started this with a feeling of wanting to help people and help the community,” he said. Mr. Ingram said 35 years after his start, he still loves his job, and has the utmost respect for his fellow firefighters. Whether they’re pulling someone from a burn- ing building or attending an accident scene, “they will do anything to win at whatever it is,” the pla- toon chief said. All of the firefighters interviewed said if it weren’t for their supportive families, the job wouldn’t be possible. “If it wasn’t for their support, we wouldn’t be so successful at this job,” Mr. Danks said. Mr. Ingram pointed out a group of people who are often overlooked for their efforts in rescues: the public. He’ll never forget the time he found passersby searching in extremely cold water at the side of the road for am accident victim. And there have been many times firefighters have found a victim at the scene of an accident with a stranger’s coat to keep them warm. “Before you can get a chance to ever thank them, they just seem to disappear,” he said.

In Pickering, the Sierra Club has endorsed Ward 1 Regional council incumbent and candidate Bonnie Littley, as well as Peter Rodrigues, running against incumbent Rick Johnson for the Ward 3 Regional council seat. Signs A number of candidates have contacted the News Advertiser, complain- ing about election sign violations. Signs have either been damaged, candi- dates are putting signs where they don’t belong, or are using ones that are too large, in contradiction to the City’s sign bylaw. While damage is a police matter, the City’s bylaw department has been dealing with complaints from candidates regarding signs being put on City property and roads (which is no longer allowed as the bylaw was changed this year). “We’ve been contacting them to bring them into compliance,” said Kim Thompson, Pickering manager of bylaw services. She said she’s found the signs are usually removed within 24 hours and the department has been somewhat accommodating to the candidates since the bylaw is new. Ms. Thompson has also found a number of new candidates are unfamiliar with what are regional, and what are local roads. But the accommodating period will soon come to an end as the election nears. “We will be advising the candidates, as of (Oct. 15), we’ll be taking down signs that are on municipal property,” she said. The candidates will have to pay the City $25 to recover those signs, and while candidates are generally compliant, they could be charged $150 if the bylaw department makes the request for compliance to a candidate and it’s ignored. “That would be a last resort,” Ms. Thompson said. As for complaints of signs being too close together or too large on regional roads, the City refers those complaints to the Region of Durham, and the Region usually removes those ones, she said. The City’s biggest concern with election signs is the safety of the resi- dents and drivers. “I’ve only had two calls from the public about traffic and sight line con- cerns and that would be our main concern,” Ms. Thompson said.

JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND 2010 ELECTION NEWS>>>>BREAKING NEWS: ALL DAY, EVERY DAY >> durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 21, 201014 AP JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Employment advice AJAX -- Chantal London listened to advice from Shameed Ali during a job fair held at the Forest Brook Community Church recently. But, CAW union not making any recommendations TONY VAN ALPHEN newsroom@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The union representing most General Motors workers and retirees in Can- ada won’t be making any recommendation to them on whether they should buy the company’s new stock. Leaders of the Canadian Auto Workers said they would neither urge nor dissuade mem- bers from participating in the initial public offering (IPO) of GM shares in Canada by a deadline registration date of Oct. 22. “It’s up to them,” said CAW national presi- dent Ken Lewenza. “I think if employees have confidence in GM, that confidence could be reflected through an investment in their company. Then, I wouldn’t discourage it.” At the same time, Mr. Lewenza added he doesn’t think many auto workers would have a lot of money to invest in the company since the minimum amount under the offer’s terms will be about $1,000 (U.S.) GM recently sent letters to about 9,000 employees and 35,000 retirees across the country with the offer. The company is also extending the offer to about 480 dealers here. The auto giant has not set a price for the new shares but Ed Whitacre, chairman of the Detroit-based parent company, said earlier this week he estimates it will be between $20 and $25 a share. GM is planning the offering in mid-November, its first stock sale in more than half a century. Since a massive restructuring last year, the company has sputtered in Canada despite a gradual industry recovery. In the first three quarters, production has bounced back to meet export demand but sales and market share continued a long decline. Chris Buckley, president of the largest union local at GM’s operations in Oshawa, also said he would not attempt to counsel members about whether they should buy the new stock. “I personally won’t be buying any shares,” he added. “Over here, our members are focused on building the best cars so the com- pany does well and our jobs and futures remain secure.” Mr. Lewenza said he won’t invest in GM because it would put him in a conflict of interest. -- Tony Van Alphen is a business reporter for the Toronto Star BUSINESS GM offers employees chance to buy new stock durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 21, 201015 AP • Updated Poll Results throughout the evening • Pictures from the hustings • Video interviews • Ongoing blog updates • Breaking news alerts • Reaction from the winners and the losers Metroland Durham Region Media Group Make your voice heard on Monday, October 25 Get out and VOTE!

Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 21, 201018 AP MICHAEL HAYAKAWA newsroom@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Last year, Bren- nan Serville envisioned himself attending school at Canisius Col- lege after he gave its varsity hock- ey program a verbal commitment to accept a scholarship offer start- ing in the fall of 2011. Those dreams, however, came to an end last month when the 17-year-old second-year Stouffville Spirit defenceman elected to turn down the package offered to him by the National Col- legiate Athletic Association Divi- sion One Buffalo, N.Y., school. That decision, the six-foot, three-inch 180-pound Pickering native acknowledged, wasn’t an easy one to make. “(Canisius College) just wasn’t a good fit for me,” he says. “I thought about it a lot with my parents and it was on my mind for about one month prior to making my deci- sion. “I felt bad in doing it, but it was what I wanted.” A Grade 12 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, Ser- ville said several factors came into play when changing his mind. Among them, he said, was that Canisius did not have its own on- campus arena. As well, he felt the school was a little small for his lik- ing. “I want to go to a bigger univer- sity,” he says. In de-commiting from that offer, Serville revealed he’s been carefully listening to scholarship offers from other NCAA Division One hockey programs. “When I originally made my commitment, I didn’t realize there were more offers out there and I hope to get another schol- arship from a bigger school,” he says. Serville, an eighth round draft choice, 145th pick overall of the Sudbury Wolves in the 2009 Ontario Hockey League’s prior- ity selection, hasn’t ruled out heading to Sudbury. During the Labour Day weekend, Serville skated at the Wolves main train- ing camp prior to returning to the Spirit before he would be ruled ineligible by NCAA regulations. But for the time being he was quick to point out his priority is to go the NCAA route. “The OHL is more of a backup plan if the NCAA thing doesn’t work,” he says. “But my first prior- ity is to get an NCAA scholarship. School is always important and that’s what I’d take.” Michael Hayakawa is a sports writer with the York Region Media Group. HOCKEY Serville fielding more hockey scholarship offers LOSSA FOOTBALL Dunbarton comes up big over DOC Week 4 wrapup from Durham Region DURHAM -- The Donald A. Wilson Gators are still perfect. A four-yard touchdown reception by Greg Morris with 3:55 remain- ing to go in the first half broke up a 7-7 tie as the Gators knocked off the St. Mary Monarchs 16-7 in LOSSA senior boys’ football action. Keldyn Ahlstedt opened the scor- ing, hauling in a seven-yard touch- down pass. However, the first- quarter Gator lead was short-lived as Dillon Campbell returned the ensuing kickoff 83 yards to pull the Monarchs even. The loss dropped St. Mary to 2-2. Pickering 24 Ajax 0 The Pickering Trojans were back in the win column following a 24-0 victory over the Ajax Rams. Pickering posted three first-half touchdowns by Tristan Clough, Spencer Stewart and Shane Lock, while their defence was outstand- ing, intercepting four Ajax passes. The Rams remain winless. Holy Trinity 49 Paul Dwyer 21 In a high-scoring affair, the Holy Trinity Titans dumped the Paul Dwyer Saints 49-21, reeling off their third win a row. The seven- touchdown effort was led by Ryan Dus, Earl Anderson and Nathaniel Allen, each with two. Alex Scott had the other. Trent Fawley had two majors for Dwyer, which has a long road to climb to reach the playoffs as only the top four teams advance. Port Perry 35 Bowmanville 12 In the tier two senior loop, Port Perry upped their record to 4-0 with a 35-12 victory over Bowmanville. All of their points came in the first half, with Logan Evans notching two touchdowns. Arthur Strahl, Sean Demmer and Nathan Scott had the others. Kyle Woodburne and Nikolas Isovski both found the house for Bowmanville in the second half. Eastdale 27 Uxbridge 0 Eastdale, meanwhile, won a 27-0 decision over Uxbridge, improving to 2-0. Garrett Williams had three touchdowns and Tyler Ogg one. Williams now has seven majors on the year. Dunbarton 35 Denis O’Connor 6 In one Ajax/Pickering battle, Dunbarton came out on top with a 35-6 win over Denis O’Connor. Scoring details for that game were not available. Pine Ridge 22 Notre Dame 8 Pine Ridge walked away with a 22-8 victory over Notre Dame. Scor- ing details for the winners wasn’t available, while Jordan Urquhart recorded the Notre Dame score. O’Neill 7 St. Stephen’s 5 The lowest-scoring game of the week saw O’Neill slip past St. Ste- phen’s 7-5. Jeremy Alexander had a touchdown for the winners, while Conner Vale booted a field goal and two singles in a losing cause. Junior results In addition to success at the senior level, Wilson’s juniors also won, shutting out St. Mary 14-0 on touchdowns from Andrew Smith and Jerome Gonsalves-Akers. Pickering, too, posted a shutout, demolishing Ajax 56-0. Raekwon Grant had three touchdowns, Nev- ell Provo two and Andy Collison, Tashaun Brady and Burke Tyree had one each. For Holy Trinity, they were led by three touchdowns by Blair Winner in a 22-13 triumph over Dwyer. O’Neill, at the tier two junior level, chalked up a 28-6 win over Port Perry, led by two touchdowns from Tre Campbell and one each from Spencer Arnott and Isiah Wil- son. In a tight game, Eastdale emerged by three over Uxbridge, posting a 30-27 victory. Konaar Bell record- ed two touchdowns for Eastdale, while Cody Moss and Riley Palmer scored one each. Jason Boake broke the plain for two Uxbridge majors, Pine Ridge and St. Stephen’s didn’t play their game due to a lighting issue at Clarington Fields.

In addition, the Power team went undefeated in the entire 2010 season, win- ning all 14 games the boys played to claim the Centre Soccer League champions title and ensuring the team’s promotion to the U14 L3 for next year. “A perfect season is a major achievement but what stands out more is the individual improvement of the players and their obses- sion with the game,” said team coach Desmond War- ner in a press release.
