KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pretty soon, the only doggies in the window at PJ’s Pets will be those from local shelters. PJ’s Pets and Pets Unlimited have announced they will no longer sell puppies in any of their stores as of Sept. 1. Instead they’ll support pet adoption from local shelters, rescue groups and organizations such as the Humane Soci- ety and the Society for the Prevention of Cru- elty to Animals. The Every Pet Deserves a Home Program will provide pet adoption agencies with space to educate people about the organizations, the pets they have for adoption and in some cases, such as at the Pickering location, allow them to adopt them out from the store. Stacey Halliday, director of marketing, said PJ’s began implementing changes, such as cutting down its breeding programs, in Janu- ary. Its sister company on the east coast, Pets Unlimited, has already stopped selling the puppies.

A request for proposals for the comple- tion of demolitions was posted by Trans- port Canada on Aug. 3 and proposals will be accepted until Monday, Aug. 22. As a first step in the process, Transport Canada has arranged for potential contractors to visit the demolition sites in order to provide an estimate. “Transport Canada is proceeding with its proposed 2011 demolition program to elim- inate vacant structures on the Pickering lands site that pose health and safety risks to the public and first responders, includ- ing vacant structures within the community of Brougham,” said Paula Fairfax, a spokes- woman for Transport Canada, in an e-mail. “Transport Canada is working closely with the City of Pickering officials to allow access to properties slated for demolition to research, document and determine wheth- er there are elements of value that need to be recorded, or that City staff would like to retrieve for other uses.” An agreement is in place that will allow City officials to conduct heritage inspec- tions and document 17 homes deemed to have heritage significance during the week of Aug. 15. Transport Canada has given the City the opportunity to lease any buildings they may want to save, with the stipulation that the City would be responsible for any repair and maintenance costs and that the buildings may only be leased to third par- ties for non-residential purposes. A deadline of Sept. 15 was set for the City to decide on what to do about the proper- ties. A previous request from the City for funding from Transport Canada to conduct heritage surveys of the homes slated for demolition was denied. Mary Delaney, a member of Land Over Landings, which is advocating for the fed- eral lands to be turned into a land trust and preserved in perpetuity, was disap- pointed to see the crews surveying sites in Brougham that she said hold important heritage value. “It really brings us up short,” Ms. Delaney said of seeing the crews on site, noting she would especially like to see a stone house at 4355 Brock Road saved. “It catches your breath because it makes it very real. This huge, long list of sched- uled demolitions has been floating around for many months now and the deadline is coming up. It’s very distressing because once these heritage buildings are gone, they’re gone forever. And once farmland is paved over, it’s also gone forever. You can’t go back.” There are currently 52 structures listed for demolition, 24 of which are listed on the Pickering Heritage Register. Ms. Fairfax said that demolitions are expected to begin shortly after a tender is awarded, and that all demolitions are scheduled to be com- pleted by March 31, 2012. 905-428-1212 to book an appointment. 360 Bayly Street West, Ajax Accepting New Patients!

Clerks at a retail outlet at the Pickering Town Centre alerted police pn Aug. 14 at 2:45 p.m.about two suspects who had pur- chased items using suspicious credit cards. The individuals were located and arrested in the parking lot and found to be in posses- sion of fraudulent credit cards and stolen merchandise. Investigators also executed a search war- rant at a home. More than 80 fraudulent credit cards and 24 counterfeit pieces of identification, including Canadian citizen- ship cards and Ontario driver’s licences, were seized. Sajid Rehan, 55, of Tennessee, U.S.A., and Nusrat Naheed, 44, of Blue Ridge Crescent in Pickering, have been jointly charged with fraud over $5,000, conspiracy, possession of a credit card obtained by crime, possession of a counterfeit mark, knowingly possessing identity information for a fraudulent pur- pose, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and fraudulent use of a certificate of citizenship card. Mr. Rehan was further charged with forg- ery, possession of a credit card obtained by crime and attempted fraud over $5,000. police Fraudulent credit cards lead to arrests in pickering durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 18, 20114 AP Petting Zoo/Face Painting Try the TrackRun:10:30a.m.to Noon Autographs with WendelClark Wii Horse Racing Craft making Food and refreshments (for nominal fee) FREE COOKIE OR CUPCAKE FOR EVERY CHILD!

Mr. Chamberlain said outdoor fire- places and chimineas are popular with retailers and homeowners, but customers are often unaware they’re prohibited in most areas. This means that residents get surprised when fire crews show up at their homes after a com- plaint about the smoke generated by the outdoor fireplaces. If caught with one of the devic- es, the homeowner will receive a verbal warning or a written viola- tion and be asked to stop using it. If fire crews are called again to the same address, the hom- eowner may be charged with the cost of the call and may be prosecuted under the Ontario Fire Code. Firefighters say one common misconception is that if the device is used for cook- ing, it becomes legal, but that’s not the case. Chimineas and outdoor fireplaces are a potential fire hazard and they’ve been responsible for several fires across Ontario. The smoke they produce is often the source of complaints to the fire depart- ment as it irritates neighbours.

Ajax Downs, 50 Alexander’s Crossing, and the Quarter Rac- ing Owners of Ontario Inc. are working together to hold Free Family Fun Day at the Races on Aug. 21 from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event supports the Image is Everything campaign which is aimed at raising funds for the purchase of an MRI scanner for the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Kids will get a chance to run in the try-the-track event and to get up close to the jockeys and horses, and the animals in the petting zoo. The event will also feature an autograph session with former Toronto Maple Leaf Wendel Clark. This is the second year for the event. “Last year was so great that all year we have been looking for- ward to returning to the race track for this fabulous family event,” said Judith Barker, Rouge Valley foundation chairwoman. “We can’t thank Ajax Downs, QROOI and all of the sponsors enough for creating what is real- ly a fun day for everyone. Watch- ing the kids enjoy themselves and seeing the parents act like kids makes this really special.” fuNdraiser Family day at the Ajax races supports hospital MeTrOLaNd fiLe PHOTO AJAX -- Ajax Downs hosts Free Family Fun Day at the quarter- horse race track on Sunday. Editorial Opinions Ever had a stranger buy you a cup of cof- fee? I haven’t. But apparently there are kind folks out there who pay it forward every now and then, picking up the tab for the person behind them at Tim Hortons. American Jonathan Stark decided to take that idea into the digital world, launching a social experiment called Jonathan’s Card. Essentially, Mr. Stark pumped $300 into a Starbucks card and then made the barcode for it publicly available, letting folks either drain the card or add to it. It became something like an online ver- sion of the ‘need a penny take a penny, have a penny leave a penny’ concept. Mr. Stark reported that about 500 people donated to the cause with a total of $8,700 being load- ed onto the card. People could follow the fluctuations on the card online at twitter.com/jona- thanscard. As a tweet would go up men- tioning that the card was empty or ‘Rut roh! I’m getting low’, someone would step up and add cash to it, $10 or $15 at a time. For the 500 or so deposits to the card, there were about 900 withdrawals, a ratio which showed that the card wasn’t wiped out every time it was reloaded. As the campaign gained attention, some critics accused Starbucks of mastermind- ing the whole thing for a bit of publicity, though the company denied doing any such thing. Instead they quietly kept an eye on what was going on. From a more cynical perspective, some commenters said it was yuppies buying each other coffee, pointing out one need- ed a smart phone to download and present the barcode for the card. Still, there’s no denying the idea had potential. Imagine, every time you grab a fast food meal, leaving a couple of bucks behind for someone who can’t afford lunch that day. Perhaps it’s a hungry student who has a cell phone contract, but lacks the cash for lunch, or someone who lost their wallet, but has a phone. The whole thing came to a crashing halt this week when an internet entrepreneur named Sam Odio wrote a blog post called “How to use Jonathan’s card to buy yourself an iPad”. Mr. Odio simply transferred $625 from the card onto his own Starbucks card and then put it up for sale on eBay. He said he intended to donate the proceeds to charity. At that news, Starbucks cancelled the Jon- athan’s Card, pointing out Starbucks cards aren’t meant to be shared. Though his experiment was over, Mr. Stark saw only good coming from it, post- ing the following on his website: “We believe this is the start to a bigger more glowing picture. In the last 5 days or so, we’ve received hundreds of stories of people doing small things to brighten a stranger’s day: paying for the next car at the drive through. Sharing a pick me up with someone who has had a rough time. Charging up a phone card and sharing it with strangers at the airport. The list goes on, and on, and on ... “So, tonight we lose our barcode. But of course, we never needed it in the first place.” Only time will tell if the spirit of Jona- than’s Card lives on in other community giving projects. --Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

Ajax-based Girls Inc. always knew it had a good thing going. Now the non-profit group knows it’s among the best. The Fraser Institute recently recognized the organization as one of the best run non-profits in Canada, putting it in a posi- tion to win $60,000 from the Fraser Insti- tute on behalf of the Donner Canadian Foundation. The institute assessed near- ly 600 non-profit organizations around the country, measuring them on every- thing from clarity of vision to board gov- ernance, financial management and pro- gram spending as a percentage of overall spending. Girls Inc. rose to become one of top three finalists after all the requisite assessments were completed. Girls Inc. serves female teens aged 16 to 18 and delivers in-school and after-school programming and a host of camps while promoting self-confidence, anti-bully- ing strategies and academic supports for its users. A strong, knowledgeable and engaged board of governors helps over- see operations and represents a diversity of talent. A mix of funding comes from all levels of government, the United Way and both individual and corporate donors. Combined, those elements allow Girls Inc. to inspire and motivate Durham Region girls. Last year, nearly 1,000 young women benefited from the programming and are now sharing what they’ve learned with peers in schools, at part-time jobs and in their daily lives. This prestigious acknowledgement sets Girls Inc. apart from other non-profits in Durham to a certain extent, and provides an excellent opportunity for the sharing of best practices, fundraising ideas and initiatives, successful programs that can be adapted, recruitment and retention of volunteers and new members. In many cases, the goals of non-profit groups across Durham Region are similar: assisting an identifiable segment of the population, building strengths, provid- ing opportunities for growth or encour- aging self-reliance. In that context, Girls Inc. can provide leadership in helping not only young female teens in Durham Region, but entire non-profit organiza- tions that could benefit from fresh ideas and approaches. In the simplest terms, Girls Inc. is at the top of its non-profit game, and local teens are the beneficiaries. Sharing its success- es, helping other groups in Durham iden- tify best practices, and providing leader- ship to assist those groups as they do their work in the region’s communities will strengthen Durham’s non-profit sector and the thousands of residents they serve daily, monthly and annually. It’s funny how every now and then you’ll bump into something that immediate- ly and vividly reminds you of how much time has gone by and how much things have changed. Like finding a pair of platform shoes in your closet or a Patty Stacker in the back of the cupboard or seeing your kid drinking your beer. I walked into a corner convenience store the other day and for some weird rea- son I was reminded of the variety store in Scarborough that, 30 or 40 years ago, we all used to buy our sugar-coated snacks from. This place had the same worn wooden floor, the same ages-old ice cream cooler with the sliding glass top, even the same smell; a combination of sour milk, news- print and hockey card gum. It seemed like very little had changed since I was a kid stuffing a brown paper bag with 50 cents’ worth of Mojos, Sweet Tarts and Black Cat gum. But then, it occurred to me, there was one change. One fairly momentous change. When we were kids, the store that we fre- quented happened to be run by a couple of men of European extraction. They were swarthy, hirsute guys who spoke with an accent and wore a lot of pomade. At some point, someone ... some clever as s... in the waspy, xenophobic parlance of the times, dubbed the place ‘The Wop Shop’. And of course, it stuck. How could it not? It clearly demarcated ‘those people’ who talked funny from the rest of us ‘normal’ folk and it was fun to say. Sort of sounds like a kids’ TV show gone horribly wrong, doesn’t it? Good Lord. And the amazing thing was that, back then, nobody really cared. Virtually everybody called it that. Even those of us too young to know what it meant. We said it glibly in front of our par- ents. And were we soundly rebuked for the use of such an ugly, racial slur? Hardly. Our parents were much more concerned with us safely crossing the four lanes of traffic on Sheppard Avenue or slipping us a fiver so we could pick them up a pack of smokes while we were there. Different times indeed. These little blasts from the past are good for us. Read enough headlines or watch enough televised news and you could easily think the world is well on its way to hell in that proverbial handcart. But moments like these tell us that we are, in fact, making progress. Unfortunately they’ve not all disap- peared, but certainly there are fewer around than there used to be. Any child growing up in the GTA these days will rub shoulders with more people of different ethnicities in their first five years than I did in my first 20. The world is getting smaller and that has to be a good thing. It’s very difficult to hate, fear or even misunderstand one of ‘them’ when you’ve eaten lunch with, played with and slept over at one of ‘their’ houses. Our children understand this perfect- ly and it gives me peace to know that the world is in their good hands. As for me, I can happily live in a world without any more of such shops. What I do miss though, is Black Cat gum. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 18, 2011NEIL CRONE The transition to taboo: We’re making progress RYAN PFEIFFER/ BEHIND THE LENS HOT TOPICS: newsdurham -- www.durhamregion.com This is such a great story.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Special treatment for special cases To the editor: Re: ‘Durham MD faces suspension over fee’, news, durhamregion.com, Aug. 3, 2011. Do we really want Dr. Dockrill to have her licence suspended for having a big heart? I do not know the details, but it seems that her practice goes over and above the quality offered by other prac- titioners. I believe the problem is that we value free health care in Canada more than logical health care. The Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons look at extra fees and their kneejerk reaction is that it should not happen. I believe the fees charged to patients should be equal and egalitarian, and should be covered by OHIP, but I also believe this is not a perfect world. If a doctor offers more than what is covered by OHIP, the only solution is to charge extra fees. If you have the money, go to private health care. Other doctors will pick up the slack. If these rules cannot be revised, it would be a shame for Dr. Dockrill to have her licence revoked or for her to lose patients. What we need is special treatment for special cases, something not currently allowed. Brad Hogg Oshawa *** Dr. Dockrill and staff are tops To the editor: Re: ‘Popular Durham doctor faces sus- pension over clinic membership fees’, news story, durhamregion.com, July 30, 2011. We are writing in support of the article about Dr. Dockrill and the staff at Mom and Baby Depot. Our children have been under their care since 2006. The reason we sought their care was because the traditional model of medi- cine was not working for our family and this model provided the type of care we wanted.

August 24 - August 28 we asked what do you think of PJ’s Pets decision to stop puppy sales? CAROLYN LANDRY --‘I think that’s awesome.’ ShARON SMITh--‘I think it’s a great idea. So many people say ‘I’m moving away’ and get rid of their dog.’ IAN BROWN --‘It sounds like a good idea to me. There are too many breed- ers.’ hEAThER CONNERY --‘There’s an awful lot of dogs in the shelter.’ Asked at...PJ’s Pets “We just thought this was a positive move,” Ms. Halliday said. The change will have an effect on the bottom line because puppies make up seven per cent of the chain’s overall business. “Yes, it’s a valuable part of our business, but by the same token, we’re here because we’re pet lovers and we want to find homes for them,” she said. PJ’s in Pickering got the ball rolling last month. Cats from Pickering Animal Services have been featured at the Pickering Town Centre location since July. “We started a pilot project and it’s been going fabu- lously,” said animal services supervisor Lindsey Narr- away. In just a month, PJ’s has adopted out 12 cats for the shelter, thanks to the signs and cages PJ’s has offered up to the homeless felines. “Their staff do all the feeding, cleaning and adopting out,” Ms. Narraway said, adding the store even has an Pickering Animal Services donation box. Ruby Richards of the Durham Humane Society said although she hasn’t yet been contacted by PJ’s, she thinks it’s a great idea. “I think it’s great if pet stores decide to stop support- ing any kind of puppy mill or out-of-province breeders and start realizing there are too many animals in shel- ters that are already looking for homes,” she said. Most of the time, people purchase from pet stores spontaneously, without thinking it through, which means these dogs often end up in shelters down the road, Ms. Richards said. “No shelter allows anyone to come in, put money down and take it,” she said. “By allowing shelters to go into places like PJ’s, it will stop that spur-of-the-moment decision.” Ms. Halliday said PJ’s hopes to reach out to as many organizations as possible. Despite common claims that PJ’s gets their dogs from puppy mills, the company has dealt only with “absolute- ly fantastic” kennels and every dog has all of its breeder documentation, Ms. Halliday said. PJ’s will continue to sell kittens because they are often abandoned by customers who don’t want them, Ms. Halliday said. She added if PJ’s didn’t take them in, it would only be a burden for the shelters. Between now and October, PJ’s will work with their private kennels to help find homes for their breeding dogs and any remaining puppies.

However, your denturist is the most qualified person to tell you when a denture needs replacing. An annual consultation to have you prosthesis checked and cleaned can prevent many problems, among them the bad habits that denture wearers develop and that require adjustments, a new base, or even complete replacement. The following are signs that your prosthesis needs attention: it does not adhere to your gums as well as it used to, it is loose, does not cut food well, makes your face look older, has yellowed, or it causes discomfort or pain. There are also many other clinical problems with an old prosthesis that only your denturist would notice. Because he constructs your prosthesis himself, the denturist actually minimizes the impact of such changes. Thus, when replacement is indicated, he makes sure your new dentures conform to the changes that your face has undergone over time. All new dentures require an adjustment period, which is entirely normal. Your denturist can give you tips on how to shorten this adjustment period and make it easier. Remember that wearing dentures that are 10 or 15 years old inevitably causes change in you physiognomy that are often irreversible. The longer you delay replacing your dentures, the more your appearance and your comfort will be affected. These are changes that occur very gradually and without your really noticing. When was the last time you saw your denturist? When Should you Replace Your Dentures? Call Susan Fleming at 905-683-5110 ext. 231 to advertise in the Health Feature. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 18, 201112 AP For anyone who loves summer, as I do, the golden days of August seem the peak of perfection. It’s as if all nature has been slowly build- ing up to this point, and we pause here in the sunshine for a week or two -– cicadas singing, dragonflies humming, monarchs flitting about -- before the outbreath begins, bringing fall migration, cooler tem- peratures and the slow descent back into winter. Seize the moment! Right now is ideal to float down a stretch of river in a canoe, kayak or inner tube, watching and listening to all that’s happening in the natural world. For sure, you’ll hear kingbirds. Now that most other birds have stopped singing, the kingbird’s short, scratchy, twittering song stands out, coming from a treetop over the river. Look up and you’ll likely see it perched in plain sight at the tip of the tallest branch, then fluttering out, as if balancing on its wing tips, to catch a flying insect. They’re not shy, these mem- bers of the tyrant flycatcher fam- ily. All through breeding season they fearlessly defend their nest- ing territories from crows and rap- tors many times their size, diving down on birds that may be simply crossing their air space. Kingbirds have a reputation for aggression against invaders, or at least a lot of chutzpah. That’s how they got their name. Anyone who doesn’t recognize a kingbird simply hasn’t been look- ing. Our most common flycatch- ers breed in agricultural coun- try across Durham, Ontario, all of Canada. They’re a forest-edge and open-space species. Where possible, a female builds her nest over water, placing the loose collection of grasses, bark and twigs, lined with sheep’s wool, half- way out on a leafy, forked branch, where land predators can’t climb, and aerial predators can’t reach it. And where, presumably, tasty insects hatch from the water below, an easy source of food for growing nestlings. While the mother incubates her two to five creamy, splotched eggs, the dad stands guard. But as soon as the babies hatch, he comes on duty, helping to feed them for up to seven weeks. No subtle browns and greys to blend in with foliage for these bold flycatchers! Their classy, crisp plumage is unmistakable: slate- black above, white below, with a white band along the bottom edge of their tail. By the end of August, all kingbirds in Ontario will gather in flocks and make their way southward, funnel- ing down through the States and Mexico and across the Isthmus of Panama. They’ll spread out for the winter as far as northern Argentina and Chile. Like all birds that eat flying insects, populations of eastern kingbirds are dropping. So grab this chance, while they’re still common, vocal and visible, to get to know these beautiful, beneficial birds. Nature queries: mcarney@inter- links.net or (905) 725-2116.

And with a significant portion of the Pickering shelter about to close, it could get even worse. But the public can help ease the load at an adoptathon and barbe- cue this weekend. Second Chance was founded in 1996 by Joyce Smith, an animal lover with a big heart. Now, three years after the founder died, the charity has managed to stay alive and house neglected and home- less felines, thanks to free rent from Club Link Properties Limited, and individual donations. Around 250 cats now live at the shelter. Second Chance consists of a home that houses the majority of the felines, and a portable. The portable that holds around 40 of them cannot be fixed -- it has no insulation and no furnace -- so the volunteer board of directors has voted to shut it down, leaving only the house. “We really can’t keep it going,” said president Phyllis Healey. Ms. Healey, who took over after Ms. Smith died, said the shelter will be too cramped for the cats after they’re all moved into the home. She has her fingers crossed that some will find homes at the Joyce Smith Memorial Adopt-a-thon and BBQ this weekend. “They’re always happy when they find a home,” she said. Nestled way up on Concession 7 in Pickering, Second Chance isn’t usually the first place one goes to adopt a cat. But I can say from personal expe- rience that it’s a wonderful place to find the perfect fit. Not only does it have more than enough to choose from, but the felines come with all of their shots, are microchipped and spayed or neutered. My Henri was just a small kitten when I adopted her, and Ms. Hea- ley made sure to follow up when she was old enough to be spayed. All I did was bring her to the vet she instructed me to, and it was all taken care of. And the cost, which can be very expensive, was includ- ed in the adoption fee of $150. At the sanctuary’s adoptathon this weekend, that cost will be reduced for people prepared to give the cats a “forever, loving home.” As much as Second Chance needs money -- it’s a charitable organization that doesn’t receive any government funding and relies completely on donations -- the major reason for this event is to find homes for the cats, both young and old. “Really we have too many cats is what it comes down to,” Ms. Healey said. Second Chance is at 2060 Con- cession 7 in Pickering, between Brock and Westney Roads. The adoptathon and barbecue is tak- ing place this Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.

He won a number of medals at the Canada Winter Games and national championships this year. nCaa sports Pistol shooting beer maker Jordan akow gets scholarship to ohio state brad KeLLy bkelly@duhamregion.com AJAX -- It’s certainly not meant as any dis- respect, but Jordan Akow has been met with raised eyebrows, snickers and a whole heap of good-natured chirping when he reveals what he’ll be doing athletically and academically over the next four years. How’s this for unbelievable: shooting pistols and making beer? Not only does the combination sound improbable, but also the fact the Ajax resident will be spending the next four years at Ohio State University, one of the most prestigious NCAA Division I programs, and enjoying a free ride as the result of a scholarship means he’s had to do some major convincing in con- versations. “The first thing I get is, ‘Shooting is a sport?’ Because most people don’t know that shoot- ing is an Olympic discipline,” he says with a laugh in regards to the disbelief he is met with from friends and acquaintances. “Then they ask me what I’m going down for, and I’m going to become a brew master. “They always think I’m joking. They think I’m pulling their leg because it sounds so made up that I’m going down to the States to shoot and make beer, and on a scholarship too.” Add one more strange twist to the improb- able story. At only 18 years of age, he’s three years away from the legal drinking age of 21 in the States, preventing him from kicking back and enjoying one of his homework creations. The scholarship to become a Buckeye at Ohio State has capped off an incredible eight- month run in 2011 for Akow. In February at the Canada Winter Games in Nova Scotia, Akow returned home with a gold medal in the team competition and a silver in the individual 10m air pistol event. At the recent national championships in Calgary, he was sharp, earning four gold medals, three in individual competitions and another in team. It was during his high performance classes at Pickering High School that things were put in motion for obtaining a scholarship. After some initial contact with the head coach at Ohio State, James Sweeney, Akow went to Ohio to compete in some open competitions. “I shot pretty high scores and got recog- nized,” he says of how easy it was. He wrote his SAT, kept his grades up and the scholarship offer followed. “I haven’t soaked in all of my accomplish- ments yet,” he says in looking back at this year. “After the Winter Games, I didn’t really even take that in. I just went right back to training. I didn’t have time to celebrate. “My training never stopped.” He has a small break now before leaving for school in mid-September. Horse raCing spend a day at the races with Wendel AJAX -- Former Toronto Maple Leafs captain Wendel Clark will be on hand for a free family fun day at the races this Sun- day at Ajax Downs. The event will run from 10:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the track, located at 50 Alex- ander’s Crossing in Ajax. Kids can pick up a race day pass- port at the registration booth that day to participate in the following activities: a pet- ting zoo, face painting, a try the track run from 10:30 till noon, Wii horse racing, craft making and autographs with Clark.

The Ajax resident dismissed some of the toughest opponents in the tourna- ment in the quarter-finals and semifinals. He was up 4-1 in the first set when he suf- fered a lower back injury and was attend- ed by a medical trainer. He was able to pull it together and win the first set. However, the pain when running and hitting the ball was just too strong and he was forced to retire in the third set. The previous day he won the U14 Canadian Nationals doubles’ champion- ship for the second time this year, winning both indoors and outdoor Nationals U14. His doubles partner this time was Dylan Bednarczyk. soCCer adult indoor soccer League set to begin OSHAWA -- The Adult Indoor Soccer League will be coming to Oshawa this fall, and playing out of the new Civic Recre- ation Centre’s Fieldhouse.

On the road to the finals, Ajax played three games, defeating the Cambridge Supersonics 3-0, Sigma 2-1 and the North Missis- sauga Panthers 2-1. The finals were then held at the Ontario Soccer Association in Vaughan as Ajax FC took on Sault Fresco premiere. The game was tied 0-0 going into the second half when Ajax FC took over scoring five unan- swered goals. The team was ecstatic with the victory, which no doubt stands as one of the major highlights of their soccer careers. Following the game, the win- ners were presented with their medals, a trophy and celebrat- ed to the playing of the national anthem, providing an experience the team members won’t soon forget. “This is the first time in our club’s history that one of our senior teams has won the Ontar- io Cup,” states Ken Burgess, pres- ident of Ajax FC. “This is a testa- ment to our coaching staff, play- ers and club. Ajax FC has always been recognized as a leader on the pitch with our younger teams. We are now working on the development of our senior teams and with our new struc- ture, we will continue to provide meaningful soccer opportunities for all ages –- youth and senior –- male and female. I would per- sonally like to thank the Ontario Soccer Association for providing this opportunity for our players. Teams can go years without win- ning the Ontario Cup. To reach this level of success with our senior team demonstrates their passion and commitment for the game.” Members of the Admirals are Darian Bygeave, James Berry, Beau Johnson, Blake Turner, Brian Mittag, Emmett O’Connor, Joey Chaves, Kaine Moar, Luke Morrison, Luke Todd, Michael Evans, Nicholas Orton, Dylan Nolivos, Dolapo Oladiran, Paul Booth, Rizwan Thawer, Spencer Kelly, Toufik Akleh, Trevor Hill, Ziad Halabi, Granville Cham- bers, Richard Downing and Errol Whittle. Team coaches are Sean Bros- nan, Asif Thawer and Diarmuid O’Connor. The Ontario Cup started in 1901, with the exception of 14 years during the war. It’s the larg- est competition of its kind in Canada. No other sport boasts greater geographical representa- tion in Ontario at more age levels and in both genders, according to a press release from Ajax FC.
