AJAX -- Thanks to a long-term plan that’s
finally come to fruition, Ajax and Pickering
firefighters will spend less time in the dis-
patch centre and more time out in the com-
munity.
Pickering Fire Services and Ajax Fire and
Emergency Services have amalgamated
their dispatch teams. Dispatchers from both
municipalities are now answering calls and
dispatching fire trucks throughout the two
municipalities.
The new Ajax fire headquarters was built
just two and a half years ago, and due to the
dispatch centre’s large size plus the advanced
computer-aided dispatch equipment,
Pickering officially moved in on Jan. 25.
“Right from day one when we (joined with
Pickering) it’s been really smooth,” said Ajax
Fire Deputy Chief Dave Lang.

and Pickering fire dispatch services united into one centre located in the Salem Road fire hall.

Boyne Court
homeowners want
extra space for parking
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Some Pickering residents
have taken an unusual approach to getting
work done on their street.
At the last meeting of council, resident
Connie Brickles presented the neigh-
bourhood’s plan to pay for the removal
of a sidewalk that has only caused head-
aches for the residents.
“We recognize removing this sidewalk
is to accommodate parking for our own
individual properties and we do not feel
the taxpayers should pay for this and
therefore we are willing to pay for all
costs associated,” said a letter on behalf
of the four residents offering to pay.
All residents on Boyne Court as well as
others from nearby homes signed a state-
ment that they didn’t have any problems
with the sidewalk removal.
In Ms. Brickles’s presentation to
council, she said the sidewalk is not of
importance to the pedestrians because
it doesn’t connect to any community
space, such as a park, and just forces res-
idents onto the street.
“We are prepared to pay 100 per cent
of the costs associated with this project,”
she said, and added the group will work
with City of Pickering staff to ensure the
work is done up to City standards
Staff has quoted an estimated cost of
$14,000.
The main purpose for the proposal is to
provide more parking spaces for the four
homes. Ms. Brickles said when people
stay over, they have to park their cars on
the street and wake up to parking tick-
ets.
The driveways have space for two cars
only, and drivers often park their cars
parallel at the end of the driveway to
avoid parking on the street.
Ward 1 Regional Councillor Jenni-
fer O’Connell called it “reasonable and
refreshing” that a group of residents
offered to pay for the work, and added
she hasn’t received any calls of concern
from other residents.
Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe
supported the offer, but felt it had to go
to staff for a proper report.
“I have trouble that we’re circumvent-
ing the process,” he said.
Council voted for staff to do a report,
which will come to council for consider-
ation at a future date.

Currently Home Week
committee holds popular
show on Father’s Day
REKA SZEKELY
rszekely@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- It was a split decision among Ajax
residents who sent feedback on whether
the Ajax Home Week committee should
move its annual fireworks from Father’s
Day to Canada Day.
The issue came up in January after Town
staff asked the committee to move the
fireworks. As it stands, the fireworks end
Home Week with a bang on the third Sun-
day of June.
They’re funded entirely by donations to
the Home Week committee, though the
Town does give permission for the event to
be held at the Ajax waterfront.
Home Week founder, committee mem-
ber and local MPP Joe Dickson said the
committee would consider the request
and look to the public for feedback.
At the News Advertiser, we asked for
feedback too and we got about two dozen
comments via e-mail, letters to the editor
and Facebook.
Initially after the article appeared, most
of the responses seemed to favour keeping
fireworks on Father’s Day. Crystal Riegert
wrote that she understood why some peo-
ple would like to see the fireworks moved
to Canada Day, but said many people
enjoy Home Week fireworks in June and
then head to Pickering for a Canada Day
display.
“A large number of people also celebrate
Canada Day with their own backyard fire-
works, and coupled with the fact that other
cities light up the skies that night as well,
it seems rather redundant for Ajax to fol-
low suit,” she wrote. “Despite it being this
way for decades, I would argue that there
is nothing traditional about fireworks on
Father’s Day. In fact, it breaks from the
norm which is fresh and unique -- some-
thing that defines Ajax.”
Lorraine Saliba agreed.
“Let’s be unique and different in Ajax
instead of offering the same thing as every-
one else on Canada Day,” she wrote.
But after a link to the article on the issue
was forwarded to members of the Town’s
advisory committee, who also shared it
with their friends and family, opinions
evened up.
“I think Canada Day is more appropriate
for the fireworks display so residents will
not be forced to go to other municipalities
to enjoy this traditional way of celebrating
Canada Day,” said Valerie Silveira.
Katheryne Jackson also thought moving
fireworks to Canada Day is a great idea.
“The Town of Ajax should have fireworks
on Canada Day,” she wrote. “However, I
think the fireworks should be paid for if
at all possible by the Town of Ajax and not
taken from the funds the committee rais-
es.”
Both Mohamed Karatella and Carol
Dixon said it might be a good idea to move
the fireworks because of the changing
demographic in Ajax.
“Over the last 10 years, there has been a
significant increase in the number of new-
comers to Ajax and the country,” wrote
Ms. Dixon. “As newcomers to the country,
many do not own cottages and their sole
home is in Ajax. Canada Day is renowned
for fireworks and a family public holiday.”
One argument for keeping fireworks on
Father’s Day is that many families leave
town on Canada Day.
On the other hand, Leigh Parker wrote
that for the Parker family, Home Week
celebrations are a reason for the clan to
come to Ajax. “We have made the annual
event truly a Home Week for our family.
My brother and sister and their families
have rarely missed attending the fireworks
after our Father’s Day dinner. Now that we
are three generations following this tradi-
tion, some of whom come from quite far,
we would be disappointed to see the event
end on Father’s Day.”
Overall, it was an even split among resi-
dents who contacted the News Advertiser.
Ten comments in favour of the change, 10
opposed and three favouring either date or
both.

Pickering celebrates literacy
PICKERING -- Rahitha Ramachanthiran, 6, took part in the recent Family Literacy Day
event at the Petticoat Creek Library. Family Literacy Day is an annual national aware-
ness initiative promoting the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-
related activities as a family. The theme of the day this year was Play for Literacy.
PICKERING -- Police have made an arrest
in the robbery of two elderly women out-
side a Pickering bank last month.
Durham cops appealed to the public for
information after the victims, a 73-year-
old woman and her mother, 95, were
accosted and robbed of cash outside an
automated teller kiosk on the evening of
Jan. 11.
The suspect fled the scene.
Last week police arrested Dejazmach
Gowe, 20, of Red River Drive in Scarbor-
ough. He’s charged with two counts of
robbery.

TAXES
Canada can’t afford
corporate tax cuts
To the editor:
Re: ‘‘Tax cuts boost business in Durham’,
editorial, This Week, Jan. 28, 2011.
To the editor:
Re: ‘Tax cuts boost business in Durham’,
editorial, This Week, Jan. 28, 2011.
Your editorial suggests that Durham resi-
dents will see new jobs as scheduled cor-
porate income tax cuts are implemented.
Historic trends and the experience of
other jurisdictions show that corporate tax
savings can result in greater levels of invest-
ment in equipment and systems, driving
efficiency and output, but not necessarily
jobs.
After the recession, many companies are
reporting losses or depressed profits so tax
savings will initially flow directly to the bot-
tom line, not investment.
Canada can’t afford $6 billion in corpo-
rate tax breaks because of Jim Flaherty’s
record $56-billion deficit. In fact, Canada
already has one of the most competitive
corporate tax rates in the developed world.
Making a country that is good for business
involves much more than shifting the cor-
porate tax rate a few points.
Focused, targeted, forward-looking
investments in learning and innovation,
energy efficiency, environmental inno-
vation and a credible approach to deficit
reduction are required. Our economic pri-
orities and investments need to focus on
easing the burden on middle class fami-
lies when it comes to family care, pensions,
learning and jobs.
One required investment for Durham is
Darlington new build. The Harper govern-
ment’s oil-first energy policy and subse-
quent AECL sale boondoggle has put the
provincial decision on the two new reac-
tors into a state of limbo. The Harper gov-
ernment has neglected Canada’s home-
grown nuclear industry resulting in uncer-
tainty around the greatest economic devel-
opment opportunity in Durham Region.

POLITICS
Ideological extremism
concerns resident
To the editor:
Re: “Politics American style”, letter, Feb. 9.
Jeff Armstrong’s letter merits attention. The
Harper Conservatives continue to slide lower
in public esteem, every time they launch their
deceptive smear campaign to sell their wares.
The ads speak louder about how misguided
and untrustworthy their product (read Harp-
er) is. It is disturbing. As Mr. Armstrong right-
ly pointed out, we don’t want to ‘drive poli-
tics in a southern direction’. Indeed.
American politics is laden with increas-
ingly toxic rhetoric with a provocative, heav-
ily slanted media, providing generous cov-
erage to people who lack clear thinking and
perspective in their discourse. Canadians, as
such, are on a higher moral ground because
of our civil discourse and a largely restrained
media. With one exception though. Since Ste-
phen Harper came to power, we are witness-
ing strands of ideological extremism in his
policies, speeches and his vile accusations
of the opposition. The ads are just one such
example. It is so un-Canadian. It is alarming.
The highest calling of politics, good politi-
cians and the media is to make the world a
better place. That is a morally essential goal.
The politicians and their fear mongering can
promote horror, hatred and extremism. Can
it also lead us to greater civility and more pro-
ductive debate? Yes, it has immense poten-
tial to build civility or destroy it.
After the tragic events in Tuscon, Arizo-
na, attention quickly focused on the vitriolic
statements spouted by some politicians and
commentators who created an atmosphere
of hostility towards their opponents. This
should be a moment to reflect on the role that
politics can play in directing the discourse in
a democratic society. Harper’s Conservative
ads are no help. What happened to our south
is profoundly instructive.

Solar panels are the way of the future
In the coming years, Durham Region’s
urban landscape will change as more and
more residents embrace the ‘go green’
way of life.
Like it or not, photovoltaic panels, also
called solar panels or PV panels, are here
to stay and it’s likely more individual
homeowners will opt to erect these green
energy sources on their properties.
Solar panels use semiconductors to
convert the sun’s energy into electric-
ity and can be stand-alone systems -- a
simple way to generate electricity away
from the grid -- or produce energy to sell
back to the power grid, according to the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and
Rural Affairs. There are numerous bene-
fits to solar panel-generated energy. First
of all, it’s a safe, clean, quiet and highly
reliable system and secondly, it doesn’t
create emissions, according to OMAFRA.
On Kingsfield Loop in Oshawa, Mar-
shall Homes entered into an agreement
with PURE Energies, an arrangement
that allowed Roma and Bruce Thibodeau
to purchase a bungalow already outfitted
with solar panels. The lease/profit shar-
ing arrangement required no upfront
costs for the Thibodeaus for the $80,000
solar system, which puts about $1,200
a year in their pockets. In the program,
homeowners sign into a 20-year agree-
ment to have the panels on their roof
and in turn, PURE Energies signs into an
agreement to sell green power back to the
grid. At the end of the 20 years, residents
have received income annually, but also
get to keep their solar system.
It’s entirely possible that putting up
solar panels could actually increase
house values in the longer term. Energy
prices are rising through the roof ... have
you checked your latest hydro bill? There
will most likely be a time not far down
the road when a home complete with
solar panels and its corresponding lower
energy bills will be considered a hot com-
modity.
Granted, change is never easy but
change as a society we must. The glory
days of consuming energy as if the supply
was endless are over. In order to leave our
children and grandchildren with a legacy
we can be proud of, each of us must do
our part to conserve, reduce, reuse and
recycle. Not everyone will choose to put
up solar panels in their backyard. How-
ever, those who do should be applauded
for their conservation efforts.

Ontario is introducing new Time-of-Use rates to help smooth “peak
demand”.With rates based on off-peak, mid-peak, and on-peak
periods, you can now decide when and how to best use your
electricity. So if, for example, you run your dishwasher and laundry
after 9pm and on weekends (off-peak) you’ll pay a lower rate.
“Off-peak” use will also reduce the strain on our system and help
the environment by reducing the
need to build excess electricity
plants and transmission
towers. For more

The idea has been in the works since 2003
when work began on a feasibility study.
It found the potential for cost savings,
increased effectiveness for emergency
response, efficiency of computerization,
and contingency planning within the area
of emergency services communications.
Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas
explained a number of options, such as
amalgamating with Durham Police, were
considered, but he and former Ajax fire
chief Randy Wilson felt pooling the fire
dispatch staff and resources would be best
for both municipalities.
Pickering council agreed and approved
the finalization of the project in June.
This means firefighters will spend less
time relieving dispatch staff on breaks and
holidays thanks to the larger staff.
“When a dispatcher was off, we, yes, had
to put a firefighter in there,” Chief Douglas
said.
Mr. Lang said the same went for Ajax,
adding the move means firefighters can
spend more time doing community out-
reach and training.
“It’s more professional, it’s computer
aided, which nowadays is what we want.
It’s good for the public and us,” said Chief
Douglas.
Pickering’s former dispatch centre was
old and had not yet moved to the com-
puter age, and upgrading would have been
expensive. Considering the City would
have had to build a new area for dispatch,
which would require new furniture, equip-
ment, a new computer system and oper-
ating systems, the move saved the City
of Pickering roughly $4 million over five
years.
“It was financially really good for both of
us,” Chief Douglas said.
And it gave Ajax another set of dispatch-
ers; Mr. Lang said staff has almost dou-
bled.
But it’s definitely needed.
“The volume has changed,” he said. “It’s
doubled.”
He said with Pickering Fire bringing over
its staff, equipment and assisting with
upgrade costs, the two departments are
about even with the overall cost.
From now on, they’ll be sharing the dis-
patch costs.
“It’s a proportional sharing based on
population,” he said.

Thanks to the change, Mr. Lang said the response
time for emergency calls through the fire depart-
ment has gone from 60 seconds on average to about
45 seconds.
“We’ve been able to cut down 15 seconds on that,”
he said.
He said the next advancement will be the addition
of computer-based mapping systems for the trucks.
Right now, the firefighters take a print-out to their
destination.
“I’m hoping (that will happen) within a year,” he
said.

Projecting $13.7 million
over several areas
KEITH GILLIGAN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The Region is projecting a
2010 budget surplus of about $13.7 mil-
lion over several service areas.
But the surpluses won’t have an impact
on the proposed tax increase of 3.15 per
cent in the 2011 budget. Regional policy
has surpluses going into reserve accounts
to be used for unbudgeted items.
The biggest surplus is in the sanitary
sewer systems, projected to be about
$4.8 million. General operations, which
includes various Regional departments,
such as social services, health, planning,
works and clerks, has a surplus of about
$4.7 million.
Solid waste management operations
has a $2.8 million surplus, while the
water supply system projects a modest
$100,000 surplus.
Also, Durham Region Transit projects a
$1.3 million surplus.
All the figures are to the end of Novem-
ber.
During a meeting of Regional council’s
finance committee Tuesday, Finance
Commissioner Jim Clapp said the sur-
pluses remain with the department or
service that generated it. So, the $1.3
million DRT generated will stay with
transit.
Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster said,
“I really liked reading this because I saw
surplus, surplus, surplus. I’m wondering
if there’s a hidden message.”
There were about a dozen instanc-
es where savings were because of staff
vacancies, he noted.
In most cases, “I would assume the
vacancies have been filled. For the most
part, they’ve either been filled or are in
the process of being filled,” Mr. Clapp
said.
He added a $4.7-million general oper-
ating surplus on an $800-million gross
budget is “good planning.”

Our ‘My Furry Valentine’ pet photo contest was a success. Nearly 100 readers
entered everything from their cute cuddly cats to their spunky little gerbil on the
Kristen’s Kritters Facebook page.
It was a great race, but only one pet could win and that was Chi Chi the chihuahua
with an impressive 86 votes. The Newtonville pooch and her owner will receive a
free 8x10 framed portrait of themselves taken by one of our professional Metroland
photographers. Way to go, Chi Chi!
In second was the entry ‘Would you be my Ducky, I mean Valentine?’ The Newcastle
sweetie garnered 68 votes. In third was Dante with the heart on his back from Cour-
tice, and a very close fourth was Teddy from Pickering, who according to his owner,
is the ‘snuggliest Valentine ever.’
New best friends Shelby and Ali of Oshawa
were the dog-cat duo that got the most votes,
and Tibbles and Max from Whitby were the
most popular cat pair. Beautiful Jakoby of
Courtice was the most popular single cat.
I couldn’t vote, but I have to give an honour-
able mention to Bubbles from Pickering. The
cat’s owner submitted a number of funny pho-
tos of the hilarious kitty with the big eyes and
matching personality. The dogs were all ador-
able, and I personally love the entry of Bentley
with his heart-shaped chew toy.
All of the pets entered were adorable and I
encourage readers to enter them again in
future contests.
I hope you and your furry friends had a
fantastic Valentine’s Day.

It was supposed to be a three-genera-
tions skating party on our local marsh,
frozen solid since December. Knee-deep
snow nixed that. So I sent them out into
the winter chill on a nature scavenger
hunt, followed by a wicked warm-up game
of fox and geese before lunch. What else
would you do at a family reunion?
The list was straightforward: find three
different leaves, three seeds, three birds,
three animal tracks, three different-
coloured stones, an insect, something
more than 100 years old, and something
less than a month old. In half an hour.
What they couldn’t collect in their bag,
they could draw or describe.
It was hard to tell who had more fun,
adults, seniors or kids, as they stumbled
through the snow, their breath fogging
in the frigid air while they schemed and
strategized. I was pleased by the booty dif-
ferent teams brought back. For the insect
category, two produced goldenrod galls,
one with a hole pecked by a downy wood-
pecker to get at the grub inside. Another
team found a snail shell in a ridge of sand
where the sun had melted the snow -- not
an insect, but we gave them marks for try-
ing.
Birds included chickadee, blue jay, car-
dinal, Canada goose, goldeneye and gull.
One team tried to convince me there was a
hawk sitting high atop a white pine, but it
turned out to be a branch.
Tracks included cottontail, squirrel, coy-
ote, fox, dog and bird. And what the seven-
year-old Jacob convinced us was deer.
Two teams brought snow for the less-
than-a-month-old category. Ironically,
the other team chose snow for their more-
than-100-years-old item, arguing that
water was ancient and had been on Earth
for millennia. Their month-old item was a
bud they claimed was sprouting. The judg-
es -- my husband and I -- rolled our eyes
but gave them their chocolate reward.
It was fitting that our fox and geese “pie”
on the frozen marsh had real fox prints
crossing it. Playing follow-the-leader to
make the giant track was as much exer-
cise as racing around it afterward, trying
to catch those younger, limber “geese.” At
the end, tired out from screaming, laugh-
ing and running, half the gang dropped on
the ground to make snow angels.
My niece, the mother of three, was lying
flat on her back, gazing at the sky, when
she spotted a raptor soaring by.
“Aunt Margaret, what’s that?” she cried,
pointing upward.
I eyed the bird’s wide, horizontal wings,
dramatic dark and white undersides, its
black “fingers.” Noted how huge it looked,
even though it was far above us, floating
on the wind. It could only be one thing: a
juvenile golden eagle.
Her team, no question, should have won
first prize.

P3 Yoga Studio is turning into a Durham Region
gem Winner of Get Out There magazine’s “Best Yoga
Studio in Ontario” four years in a row, this is not your
typical yoga studio, and its energetic, driving force is
founder and creator Suzanne Hennig - RYT 500. Her
newest and most exciting creation is Zero-Gravity
Aerial Yoga.
What is Zero-Gravity Aerial Yoga?
Zero-Gravity Aerial Yoga (ZGA) is a yoga/acro-
batic/ fitness program designed to increase overall
health, physical strength and flexibility while having
fun! Created by Hennig through her experiences and
expertise as a yoga teacher and personal training with
top Aerial Artist Rebecca Leonard. ZGA takes the
aerial acrobatic components and modifies them and
the equipment to fit into a challenging new art form
and expression of yoga.
The fabric trapeze (which is similar to a “ham-
mock”) is hung close to the floor so that students
can use the prop to either partially or fully support
the weight of the body. Many ZGA Yoga postures
are designed to help the student better understand
the purpose of traditional Yoga postures. Some ZGA
Yoga postures are designed to help students achieve
advanced traditional Yoga postures. Advanced Yoga
postures such inversions and extreme backbends can
take years to learn and physically achieve. The prac-
tice of ZGA Yoga is meant to help speed up that pro-
cess in a safe manner.
A typical class
Students spend time using
the hammocks, and also spend
time on the floor under Suzanne’s
direction.
Classes progress slowly from
using the hammocks to hold
some body weight to using the
hammocks to hold 100 per cent
of the body’s weight. The slow
progression empowers new stu-
dents, and carefully introduces
them to what can be very intense
new sensations.
Frequently students will
share a hammock, which not
only allows for traditional Yoga

Team wins sixth provincial
championship in a row
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
GRIMSBY -- Pickering’s Richard Hart is going
back to the Brier.
Hart and the Glenn Howard-skipped rink
representing the Coldwater and District Curl-
ing Club won its sixth straight Ontario title
on Sunday, defeating Toronto’s Greg Balsdon
10-3 in the final of the Dominion Tankard in
Grimsby.
The team also includes second Brent Laing
and lead Craig Savill.
While winning the provincial title and
advancing to the national championships has
become a recurring theme for the team, it’s
something that Hart doesn’t take for granted.
“A trip to the Brier is something that is pretty
special for all curlers,” he said. “The more you
go to the Brier, the more you want to get back.
It’s an amazing event.
“It’s something our team focuses on every
year to get through that provincial champion-
ship and make it back to the Brier because it
is such an honour to represent your province
there.”
At last week’s provincial championship,
Hart’s team were placed second following an
8-2 record in the 11-team round robin. An
11-5 victory over Brampton’s Peter Corner in
the Page 1-2 game earned the team a spot in
the final. Balsdon reached the final with a 10-4
win over John Epping of Toronto, then elimi-
nated Corner 9-4 in the semifinal.
It will mark the sixth consecutive appearance
at the Brier for Hart, who won a silver medal
at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano as
third for Canada’s Mike Harris. It will also be
the second time that Hart and his team will
serve as the host province, winning the Brier
in 2007 by beating Newfoundland in the final,
then advancing to become world champions
in Edmonton.
“It’s different than any other event we play
in,” says Hart of the intensity level at the Brier,
with this year’s event scheduled for London
from March 5-13. “The crowds are usual-
ly larger, they’re boisterous, love to cheer for
their own home provinces. There are people
from all over the country there.”
In addition to the success, Hart and his team
have also been the Brier runner-up three
times, in 2006 losing to Quebec’s Jean-Michel
Ménard, in 2008 losing to Alberta’s Kevin Mar-
tin, and last year in Halifax, losing an extra-
end final to Alberta’s Kevin Koe, their only loss
of the week.
Ontario has won nine Briers, the last by
Howard in 2007.
An Annandale rink of Mark Kean, Chris Van
Huyse, Patrick Janssen and Tim March also
competed at the provincials in Grimsby, fin-
ishing the round robin with a 3-7 record.
Hart going back to Brier
SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND
GRIMSBY -- Pickering’s Richard Hart, shown enjoying a moment at the BDO Canadian Open in Oshawa in January, will be heading to
London for the Brier after his team won the provincial championship this past weekend in Grimsby.
HOCKEY
Panthers win box
seats to a Maple
Leafs game
PICKERING -- A random entry into
a contest has paid huge dividends for
the Pickering Panthers Minor Peewee
AE team.
A father of one of the players took
time to enter the team into a contest
sponsored by the Metro grocery store
at the Amberlea Plaza in Pickering.
After winning the contest, the whole
team qualified to attend a promo-
tional event at the Air Canada Centre,
including watching the Toronto Maple
Leafs and Washington Capitals prac-
tices.
The lucky streak continued when
Justin Garnett, 11, was randomly
selected to participate in an on-ice
challenge.
Four players representing various
teams in attendance were required
to take two shots, with the closest to
centre ice winning. After his first shot
almost stopped right on the centre ice
dot, Garnett was declared the winner.
In addition to receiving a Dion Pha-
neuf jersey, he also received four gold
tickets to a Maple Leafs game on Feb.
7 against Atlanta.
The run of good luck didn’t stop
there.
Because the players on the
Pickering team were so exuberant
with their cheering, the whole team
received 24 box seats for a Maple
Leafs game against Buffalo in March.
TENNIS
First ATP win
for Pickering’s
Shamasdin in
doubles event
PICKERING -- Pickering’s Adil
Shamasdin is basking in the glory of
winning his first-ever Associated Ten-
nis Profession tour title.
Shamasdin partnered with James
Cerretani to win their maiden title
at the South African Tennis Open in
Johannesburg, South Africa. The
unseeded duo battled past top seeds
Scott Lipsky and Rajeev Ran 6-3, 3-6,
10-7 in the final. Shamasdin and Cer-
retani saved eight of nine break points
and rallied for an 0-3 deficit in the
match tie-breaker to clinch the vic-
tory.
They were crowned champions
of the ATP World Tour 250 hard-court
tennis tournament having lost just
one set and earned $24,500 in prize
money.

Up to the
challenge of
playing up level
LONDON -- After the Dur-
ham City Chameleons U14
girls finished last season
near the top of Division
Two at number-12 in the
province, to start this sea-
son they decided to take a
step up in competition and
compete in a Division One
tournament in Windsor.
The first game was
against Blessed Sacra-
ment Yellow Jackets who
finished third in the prov-
ince last year. This game
was close the entire way
and Durham City was able
to secure a 32-31 victory.
Rachel Woodburn led the
team in scoring with 13
points and Jennifer Perrin
scored eight points with
six blocked shots.
The second game was
against the host team the
Tecumseh Saints, who
also finished among the
top eight teams in the
province last season. Dur-
ham City started the game
well having an 11-2 lead at
the end of the first quarter.
Tecumseh fought back,
and in the second half
each team took turns with
the lead. After four quar-
ters the game was tied and
went to overtime. With
two seconds left in over-
time Tecumseh had a one
point lead, however Niki-
ta Telesford got the most
important rebound of the
game and put up a shot
with no time left on the
clock. Nikita missed the
shot but was fouled on the
possession. With no time
left on the clock, Nikita
hit the first free throw and
missed the second one to
send the game into dou-
ble overtime. Durham City
took control of the second
overtime period and won
52-48. Rachel Woodburn
had her best game of the
tournament scoring 20
points and Victoria Ander-
son scored nine points
with eight rebounds.
Durham City then beat
the London 86’ers 51-26 to
remain unbeaten and earn
a spot in the final against
SBA.
SBA was last season’s
number one team in the
province. When these two
teams played last season
it was an easy win for SBA,
but Durham City worked
hard in the off season to
improve. SBA jumped out
to an early lead but Dur-
ham City kept it close and
took the lead in the sec-
ond quarter. After going
back and forth with under
a minute left in the game
it was 50-48 and SBA was
able to pull out the victory
