Kidnapped, assaulted girl,
abandoned her in Courtice
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
PETERBOROUGH -- Jailing Stanley James
Tippett indefinitely is the only way to ensure
the public is protected from a man who has
demonstrated an escalating pattern of crim-
inal activity, a judge has ruled.
“Mr. Tippett is a substantial risk to the
community and will continue to be so,”
Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass said in
reading his much-anticipated ruling Mon-
day in Peterborough.
“Society can only be protected and not at
risk if he is sentenced to an indeterminate
sentence.”
Mr. Tippett’s lawyer Bob Richardson said
Monday an appeal of the ruling is likely.
Mr. Tippett showed no reaction as the rul-
ing was read to a courtroom packed with
reporters and spectators, among them rela-
tives of the girl he kidnapped and sexually
assaulted in the summer of 2008. The girl
was 12 when Mr. Tippett, who was unknown
to her, found her drunk on a Peterborough
street and loaded her into his van, telling
her friends he was taking her to hospital.
But Mr. Tippett drove the girl to a seclud-
ed area near a Courtice school, where she
was sexually assaulted. Her cries were heard
by residents who called police. Mr. Tippett
fled from Durham cops but was later appre-
hended.
Following Mr. Tippett’s December, 2009
conviction on charges including sexu-
al assault and kidnapping, the Crown
launched a dangerous offender application,
seeking to have the father of five locked up
for an indeterminate term. Prosecutor Jim
Hughes cited Mr. Tippett’s record of harass-
ing women and introduced psychological
assessments that concluded he is a risk to
re-offend.
Mr. Richardson argued for a term of
imprisonment followed by supervision in
the community. In a last-ditch plea to the
court, Mr. Tippett himself vowed to follow
any measures imposed on him, including
taking drugs to reduce his sex drive.
That pledge was nothing but an elev-
enth-hour bid to avoid a lengthy jail term,
Justice Glass concluded, noting Mr. Tip-
pett’s lengthy track record of deception and
manipulative behaviour.
“I don’t believe Mr. Tippett when he says
he would follow any direction given by the
court,” the judge said Monday. “This com-
ment to the court appears to be a final grasp
at avoiding a harsh sentence.”
In arriving at his decision, the judge had
among his options an indeterminate sen-
tence, or a combination of a prison term
followed by several years of supervision in
the community by corrections officials. He
could also have simply sentenced Mr. Tip-
pett to a finite jail term.
But Justice Glass chose the harshest of
those punishments, finding the indefinite
term is the only measure that ensures pro-
tection of the public. He called speculation
that Mr. Tippett might be managed in the
community “wishful thinking.
“His criminal record demonstrates he
has moved to more serious personal injury
offences,” the judge said, noting the offend-
er was on probation when he abducted and
sexually assaulted the Peterborough girl.
Mr. Tippett has amassed a lengthy record
that includes crimes against women and
impersonating a police officer. During the
dangerous offender hearing, which began
last summer, the judge heard evidence of
behaviour dating back to his days in school.
Mr. Tippett was also a prime suspect in the
1999 disappearance and death of Toronto
teen Sharmini Anandavel, but was never
charged.
In passing judgment, Justice Glass noted
Mr. Tippett suffers from Treacher Collins
syndrome, a condition that left him with
profound facial deformities and no doubt
shaped the man’s character. Mr. Tippett was
“probably the brunt of bullying and teasing”
as a youth, he noted.
“Today is a tragic day for everyone
involved,” the judge said as the grandmoth-
er of the Peterborough girl sobbed in the
front row of the courtroom.
“Nobody is a winner here.”
Tippett declared dangerous offender,
jailed indefinitely ‘to ensure public protected’
METroLand FILE pHoTo
PETERBOROUGH -- Stanley Tippett was deemed a ‘substantial risk to the commu-
nity’ and declared a dangerous offender by Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass on
Monday. The verdict means he will be jailed indefinitely.

Tippett joins
notorious fraternity
With Monday’s ruling, Stanley Tippett joined a
notorious group of criminals deemed to be Cana-
da’s most dangerous offenders.
Since the legislation was adopted by Parlia-
ment in 1977, 522 inmates have been declared
dangerous offenders, the majority of them having
amassed a history of offences against persons.
In Mr. Tippett’s case, a lengthy pattern of crimes
against women was tendered as justification for
the onerous penalty.
Of the inmates designated dangerous offend-
ers, the majority, 209, were in Ontario. The prov-
ince with the next-highest number of dangerous
offenders is British Columbia.
Durham Region has had its share of such
files. In 2007 Robert Dean May, a Whitby native
who had a history of abusive relationships, was
declared a dangerous offender after being con-
victed of assaulting and harassing an Ajax woman.
The Ontario Court of Appeal upheld the ruling this
year. In 2009 Douglas Maxwell was declared a
dangerous offender after being found guilty of sex-
ually assaulting a Courtice boy. That ruling is being
heard by the Ontario Court of Appeal this week.
Late last year an Oshawa judge rejected a
dangerous offender application for multiple sex
offender Michael Ross Stratton of Whitby. Mr. Strat-
ton was declared a long-term offender and given a
12-year prison term, after which he’s to be moni-
tored in the community.
And the Crown has announced its intention to
pursue a dangerous offender designation for Don-
ald Oag, who was convicted this spring of assault-
ing an Oshawa woman. Mr. Oag’s criminal record
dates back to the mid-1960s.

Councillors question if
money could be used to
keep tax increase down
Keith GilliGan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DUrHam -- The Region has a budget sur-
plus of about $10.4 million spread over sev-
eral areas and that has some councillors
questioning the need for a tax increase.
Oshawa Councillor Nancy Diamond said
it’s good to have a surplus, but added, “If, at
the end of the year, we have a surplus, then
we could consider not having to raise taxes
as much as we could. If there’s a surplus,
why do we need to spend more and more
each year?”
The $10.4 million includes $3.375 mil-
lion in general operations, which covers all
Regional departments. Any surplus from
general operations goes into the rate stabi-
lization fund, an account used to cover any
unexpected expenses.
The remaining surpluses come in Durham
Region Transit, which has a $650,000 sur-
plus, solid waste management ($3 million),
water supply system ($900,000) and sanitary
supply system ($2.525 million). The surplus
in each of those areas remains where it is
generated and used to fund projects.
During a meeting of Regional Council’s
finance committee last week, Coun. Dia-
mond said, “On one turn, I want to congrat-
ulate staff for having a surplus.”
But, she also noted, “We’re seeing surplus-
es in almost every category.”
Oshawa Councillor Bob Chapman shared
that view, noting next year’s budget includes
a request for an additional $14.3 million in
spending.
“We’re saving money and forecasting
more.”
Finance commissioner Jim Clapp said,
“Let’s put this into context. There was just
over a $3-million surplus before we went
to council before the guideline was passed.
That’s a $3-million surplus on a general levy
gross budget of $800 million. My position is
slanted, but you should look at this as a good
news story.”
Regional council approved a tax increase
in 2012 of 2.35 per cent.
Coun. Chapman said, “Citizens are look-
ing at us and saying we want $14 million
more and we didn’t spend all of it. You didn’t
spend $14 million and yet you’re asking for
$14 million more.”
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said
the surplus amounts to 0.04 per cent on an
$800-million budget.
“It is cutting it pretty close. It’s an inter-
esting number. I’d be worried if it was a lot
less.”
Mr. Clapp said the rate stabilization fund
has a $25-million balance and Mr. Clapp
would like it to have a balance of 10 per cent
to 15 per cent of the Region’s gross budget,
which would be between $80 million and
$120 million.
The funs has been used in the past, Mr.
Clapp said, primarily to offset higher than
expected Ontario Works, or social assis-
tance, costs.
“It’s one of the funds that gets you your
Triple A (credit rating),” Mr. Clapp stated.
“I wouldn’t use it simply to reduce taxes. I’d
use it to mitigate debt.”

Members mark
anniversary
with major donation
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Members of the Auxiliary to Rouge
Valley Ajax and Pickering Hospital contin-
ued their long tradition of giving during
this year’s 60th anniversary celebrations.
Members, hospital staff, guests and offi-
cials gathered at the St. Andrew’s Community
Centre in Ajax on Oct. 30 to mark the organi-
zation’s 60-year anniversary.
“There would be a big void in my life if I
weren’t a part of the hospital auxiliary,” said
Bev Carmichael, auxiliary president.
“This is a very happy time for us, it’s exciting
to be celebrating 60 years. The auxiliary is all
about giving back to the community because
this is our community hospital. I just want
to say thank you to everyone for their sup-
port and all the dedication, all the hours they
put in both on the floor at the hospital and
through fundraising.”
As part of the celebrations, the auxiliary pre-
sented the hospital foundation with a cheque
for $50,000, which is the first installment in its
overall commitment of $500,000 towards the
Image is Everything campaign to pay for the
hospital’s new MRI.
The latest donation was one in a long his-
tory of both monetary and volunteer support
by auxiliary members.
“When the auxiliary was created what fol-
lowed it was the creation of our hospital,
which was built around this great group of
volunteers,” said Chad Hanna, president of
the hospital foundation, noting that auxil-
iary members went above and beyond to
assist hospital staff in the early years, includ-
ing laundering clothes for the maternity ward
and other patient supports.
“Auxiliary members were, and are, incred-
ible leaders in our community.”
Hospital CEO Rick Ganderton echoed the
sentiment. “We’re here to say thank you from
the hospital for 60 years of giving by the aux-
iliary,” he said. “You are incredible members
of the hospital team and you contribute every
day to the care of our patients.”
In addition to providing volunteer staff, the
auxiliary also raised funds for hospital equip-
ment through the gift shop, lottery sales and
fundraising.
Alison Greenslade, who runs the hospi-
tal gift shop, volunteered at the hospital in
the 1970s but moved away from the area.
She rejoined the auxiliary in 2007 when she
moved back. “I think giving back to the com-
munity is important,” she explained. “I’m so
pleased with all my volunteers. They’re very
dedicated, we always have every shift cov-
ered even though we’re a 100-per cent volun-
teer operation. I really enjoy the work and it’s
well worth it because now you start to see the
impact with things like the MRI donation.”
Honourees at the celebration included the
auxiliary’s student volunteers, who togeth-
er contributed more than 6,000 volunteer
hours, and long-time members such as Edie
Murray, who received a pin in honour of her
10 years of volunteer work.
“I have always volunteered and this is
another way of helping the community,” the
82 year old said. “I plan to continue on as long
as I’m allowed.”

Plan for more buses,
dedicated lanes
greeted enthusiastically
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- News of a potential new
transit system along Hwy. 2 is receiving a
warm welcome from residents.
Staff from Durham Region Transit and
contractor Aecom were on hand at the
Pickering Town Centre on Oct. 29 for a pub-
lic information session to inform residents
about the proposal to install a third, bus-
only lane along Hwy. 2 through Ajax and
Pickering as part of a new bus rapid transit
service.
“This will address the most congested
areas of Hwy. 2,” said James Garland, project
manager of Durham Region’s rapid transit
office, noting six key intersections are being
targeted.
“In these areas we will widen the road to
increase road capacity. The idea is that this
will be the beginning of higher order transit
in the area.”
The targeted intersections along Kingston
Road include Whites Road, Liverpool and
Brock roads in Pickering and Westney Road,
Harwood Avenue and Salem Road in Ajax.
The system will employ intelligent trans-
portation systems, which use traffic signal
prioritization to change lights when buses
are running late, to ensure vehicles remain
on schedule. Dedicated bicycle lanes would
also be created as part of the project.
Residents expressed enthusiasm at the
prospect of improved transit in the area.
“The idea for dedicated cycling lanes and
bus lanes is amazing, it’s about time,” said
Lore Benjung, a Whitby resident.
“If it’s approved I think it would be amaz-
ing for Durham Region and really help with
traffic congestion.”
Ajax resident Simon Tonekham came to
the information session to learn more about
an innovation he said would make his life
much easier.
“I believe this project will bring a lot of
economic benefits and encourage people
to take transit and get out of their cars,” he
said.
“What I really like is the use of transit pri-
orities like bus-only lanes. Priorities should
be given to transit vehicles because it will
make buses more punctual and reliable.”
Although not a regular transit user,
Pickering resident Lori Gertzos brought
along her children Christina, 10, and Antho-
ny, 12, to learn more about the project.
“It’s a great idea to widen the lanes, espe-
cially because when you look at Ajax, that’s
where everything is, the centre of the city is
there and then in Pickering, there’s noth-
ing,” she said.
“I think widening the highway will bring a
lot more development here which is great,
it’s very good for Pickering. I think it’s also
really fantastic for commuters who are going
into Toronto and it could encourage people
to consider using transit more.”
Provincial funding of $82 million has
already been secured for the project, which
has been approved by regional council.
It is currently the subject of an environ-
mental assessment. Once the assessment
has been approved, the project will pro-
ceed to the construction stage. If no objec-
tions are made to the environmental assess-
ment, Mr. Garland estimates construction
could begin as early as 2012, with road work
phased from 2013 to 2015 to minimize traf-
fic impacts. The service is proposed to start
in 2013.

Glen Street P.S. a
wonderful school
To the editor:
Re: ‘Oshawa parents fed up with Glen
Street Public School’ news, durhamregion.
com, Oct. 20, 2011.
I can’t begin to tell you how upsetting this
was to read. It concerns me that the per-
sonal experiences of a couple of individu-
als is considered newsworthy. To damage
the reputation of an entire school based
upon these isolated incidents is irrespon-
sible.
This article was not at all justified and
never should have been written. I have,
over the years, attended and thorough-
ly enjoyed many visits to Glen Street as
my grandchildren are enrolled there. The
teaching staff are impressive; they go out of
their way to make school both an enjoyable
and educational experience for the stu-
dents. They certainly seem to be enjoying
their chosen profession.
I have personally been involved with a
number of schools. I am not a teacher, but
I am a mother, a grandmother and an aunt.
I have attended many functions at vari-
ous schools over the years and I feel very
comfortable in saying that the time I have
spent at Glen Street has been remarkable.
In some schools it appears that the staff
are there because it is a requirement of
their job. At Glen Street the staff give their
personal time and resources to these kids.
They obviously enjoy giving a little extra to
their students. I appreciate what I see there
on a regular basis.
I could go on about the virtues of Glen
Street but I really just wanted to say that
this article never should have been writ-
ten. One can only hope that someone will
be adult enough to apologize.
As a concerned citizen and grandparent
I can only hope that the opinions of some
misguided individuals will not alter the
way the Glen Street staff feel about their
students and families. Please know that
you are appreciated.
I am confident that Glen Street staff will
continue to do the great job they have done
for the past several years.
Keep up the good work at Glen Street; I
can hardly wait for the holiday concert.

budget
Ajax must treat taxpayers
as equal partners
To the editor:
Re: ‘Ajax council aims for 2.75 tax increase
in 2012’, news, durhamregion.com, Oct. 17,
2011.
Mayor Steve Parish is correct that “at the
end of the day people don’t like their taxes
going up.” The mayor is incorrect to con-
trast Ajax’s plan to Toronto’s. Toronto pub-
lishes specific budget plans in advance and
allows taxpayers to give opinions and input
in an open public forum in advance to pos-
sibly affect budget proposals.
Ajax council does not. Ajax council
instead thinks it is correct to spend tens
of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money
on public art. I asked members of council
for an explanation as to how this kind of
spending benefits the people of Ajax.
Councillor Shaun Collier was the only
member to respond explaining his posi-
tion. Our tax dollars appear not to be in
safe hands. There must be more important
areas in Ajax that need our tax dollar atten-
tion. This council is out of touch with the
taxpayers of Ajax. Council needs to rethink
its aims and vision in these difficult eco-
nomic times. As Coun. Collier states, coun-
cil “can do better”. Now is the time to invite
the taxpayers to the budget table as equal
partners. Let us have a say now to the fact
that our taxes keep going up and up.

Donate miniatures

To the editor:
Re: The Cullen Miniatures.
I have a suggestion to put to rest the
seemingly never-ending saga of the minia-
ture village. Take it all as a lesson learned
and offer to donate the buildings to Riv-
erview Park and Zoo in Peterborough.
For generations Durham families have
been enjoying summer day trips to this free
family destination. They’ve already started
a miniature village; this could be a great
friendship gesture between the two cities.

AP& Justice is served in disturbing Stanley Tippet case
Though the wheels of justice turned
slowly, it inevitably reached a proper con-
clusion Monday with a judge deeming
Stanley Tippett -- whose lengthy criminal
record is shocking in both number and
nature -- a dangerous offender, permitting
authorities to jail him indefinitely.
Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass, in
releasing his decision Tuesday, referred
to Mr. Tippett as a “substantial risk to the
community and will continue to be so.”
The beginning of the end for Mr. Tippet
unfolded in the summer of 2008 when he
kidnapped a 12-year-old girl from Peter-
borough and later sexually assaulted her
before abandoning the girl in Courtice.
This was the latest, most violent act in a
patterned string of disturbing and crimi-
nal behaviour by Mr. Tippett that typically
involved the harassment of women.
Justice Glass rejected Mr. Tippett’s last-
ditch plea to the court that the defendant
would follow any conditions imposed by
the court, including the use of drugs to
reduce sexual urges, in a bid to avoid a
lengthy jail term. In doing so, the judge
noted that the court had little confidence
in Mr. Tippett’s vow given that he commit-
ted his most violent crime while serving
probation for an earlier violation of the
law. Given Mr. Tippett’s record of behav-
iour, the escalation of violence and his
pattern of manipulation, Justice Glass
reached the only suitable punishment to
protect society from Mr. Tippett: an inde-
terminate jail sentence and an official
declaration that he is a dangerous offend-
er.
Nothing can erase the pain and suffer-
ing of the victims left in Mr. Tippett’s trou-
bling wake.
But we can all take a measure of com-
fort from the fact that the justice system
has served its citizens, that time and sup-
port and therapy will continue to promote
healing, and that Mr. Tippett will no lon-
ger be a malevolent factor in their lives.
We can all keep a good thought and offer
a warm affirmation to Mr. Tippet’s victims
as they continue their personal journeys.
We can breathe a sigh of relief that a bad
person has been removed from society,
quite possibly for the rest of his life. But we
must acknowledge that the justice system
allowed him his day in court, heard all of
the arguments on both sides of the case,
and came to the most reasonable and cor-
rect decision possible: Stanley Tippet is a
dangerous offender and society must be
protected from him.
I was driving home the other day and the
guy in the car ahead of me had a ‘Proud to
be a turkey hunter’ sticker in his window.
Proud to be a turkey hunter? Really?
Is that the best you can come up with?
I don’t mean to slam turkey hunters but
isn’t that kind of clawing your way to the
middle? Out of all the things in your life
that you’re feeling pretty good about, you
choose turkey hunter as your badge of
honour?
I mean, go ahead and enjoy the heck out
of the activity. Really. Knock yourself out.
I’m just not sure where the pride thing
comes into it.
According to Wikipedia, a turkey has
a brain about the size of a walnut. And I
might even take issue with that. I’ve seen a
lot of wild turkeys and it seems to me their
entire noggin is about the size of a walnut.
You’ve still got to fit the brain inside there
somewhere.
And most turkey hunting is done with a
12-gauge shotgun. A weapon with enough
firepower to punch a hole through a steel
door.
Do the math. It’s not exactly Clash of the
Titans.
Proud to be a firefighter? Sure. Proud to
be an astronaut? Absolutely. Proud to be a
mafia informer? Why not?
There’s a certain amount of skill, risk
and courage involved in all of those voca-
tions. And let’s face it, when those guys
come home from a hard day of fighting,
astronauting and informing, they’ve gen-
erally made the world a better place. Tur-
key hunter? I don’t know.
‘Proud to be a turkey hunter’ seems, to
me, to be on a par with ‘proud to be a cat
slapper’ or ‘proud to be a gerbil teaser’. I
don’t see the cachet.
I’m teeing off on the turkey hunters here
and I really should apologize. I know guys
who hunt the big bird and I am aware that
it’s nowhere near as easy as one might
imagine.
To do it well and humanely does, in fact,
require a great deal of patience, technique
and training.
But still, if you’re going to put a sticker
in the window, why not dig a little deeper?
Surely you’re selling yourself short. I guar-
antee there are some other, far more sal-
utary items on your resume that are well
worth pointing out to the rest of the motor-
ists around you. All of us have something,
some shining thing, that we can cling to
with pride.
It’s not always a big deal. In fact, usual-
ly it’s tiny, something to which you might
not even give a second glance. But that
doesn’t mean it’s unimportant.
These babies might take up a chunk of
window space, but I’d still feel good about
having them on my vehicle:
‘Proud to be a son that calls his mom
regularly’
‘Proud to be a guy who empties the dish-
washer’
‘Proud to be a person who picks up after
his dog’
Ironically, it’s not the big, headline-grab-
bing, flag-waving stuff we should be most
proud of.
It’s the little stuff. The stuff that is rarely,
if ever, acknowledged but is done anyway.
The stuff that keeps the world spinning.

BEHIND THE LENS
Emergency scenes are a part
of the job of a photojournalist.
Although rare enough, some-
times they are minor and clear
up quickly; at other times they
can be very serious. Here, a
firefighter had just given this
little girl a teddy bear while
emergency crews were attend-
ing to injuries. Thankfully, this
collision involving a van with
kids didn’t cause serious inju-
ries, but let me tell you, the 20
seconds you save by driving
aggressively is not worth it. It
could be your kids.
H air-raising month
in our newsroom
MIKE JOHNSTON - MANAGING EDITOR
The last time I had a moustache, a
young boy asked me if there was a cater-
pillar under my nose.
The next day, I shaved it off.
I haven’t had any serious facial hair
since then, almost 15 years ago. But that
all changes this month.
Several male staff members are taking
part in Movember, a month designed to
raise awareness about prostate cancer
and raise funds to ultimately beat this
form of cancer.
The male members of my family
weren’t designed to grow a lot of facial
hair, strange with our Irish background.
But this month I’m not going to give in to
peer pressure, even if it is from a young
kid.I’ll let the hair see the light of day for
a month and watch, along with my family
and people I work with, what happens. I
know this will be no Tom Selleck mous-
tache but I’m hoping for something pass-
able, especially with the Pickering May-
or’s Gala Ball coming up this month.
So wish me, and the rest of our team,
luck.
Besides myself, team members are
Brian McNair, Shawn Cayley, Ryan Pfe-
iffer, who should have a mountain-man
beard by Friday, Steve Houston, Al Rivett,
Keith Gilligan, Ken Pearson and Bruce
Froude.
Our team name is Hair-Raisers -- origi-
nal, I know -- but it was the only family-
oriented name we could come up with.
To donate, go to movember.com, click
on Canada, then donate, then type in our
team name.
Cancer has taken its toll on my family.
My mom and a nephew both succumbed
to it. So anytime I can take part in raising
funds to wipe out this scourge I will, and
Movember lets us have a bit of fun while
trying to raise some cash.
So throughout the month we’ll put pic-
tures up on our Facebook page to show
our progress. Feel free to comment, both
good and bad, post your own pics and
donate some cash.

OSHAWA -- ‘This Week’ reporter Crystal Crimi successfully completed the Durham
Regiona Police physical fitness test at Durham College on Oct. 20 after eight weeks
of intensive training.

What it takes to pass the Durham police physical...
Success, at last
reporter takes her retest after
weeks of training to prepare
Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@northumberlandnews.com
This is the last part in a series looking at what it takes to pass the police
physical training test, as well as the other components involved in
becoming a police officer.
OSHAWA -- It’s almost 1 p.m. and I am standing in the
empty gym at Durham College, looking at the police fitness
test equipment set up to find out once and for all if I really do
have what it physically takes to become a police officer.
Now I don’t actually want to be a police officer -- I love my
job, that’s why I do it, but I just can’t resist a good challenge.
So when a co-worker proposed I do a first-person story on
finding out what it takes physically to be a police officer, I
couldn’t say no, despite the fact I would temporarily live to
regret my decision. My first run through the test saw me sick
to stomach outside Durham College’s fitness facility.
Two months have gone by since then and I’ve been sore
in places I never knew existed and tired all the time from
the toll that working, being a mother
and training for the test has taken on my
30-year-old body.
All I need to pass is a time of 2:42
minutes for the obstacle course,
followed by 6.5 minutes of interval
running. It sounds easy enough, but
my first attempt at the obstacle took
me 4:30 minutes, which was probably
generous considering I wasn’t wearing
the nine-pound waist belt and didn’t
complete some of the tasks properly. For the running, I
received a level five.
Two weeks ago I did a practice run which yielded
much more promising results: completion of the obsta-
cle in 2:45 -- three seconds over -- and a successful run
through the beep test.
But sometimes being close is worse than being far away.
With only two weeks between the practice and final test
date, there wasn’t much room for improvement at the
gym, Platinum Fitness in Courtice, where I’ve been train-
ing with Justin Duguay, the facility’s health centre manag-
er. He showed me a couple of things, including getting a
treadmill up to running speed without it being turned on,
and suggested I take it relatively easy and stop training on
the Monday before my Thursday scheduled test, giving me
just one week to prep.
That week went by quickly, and as my photographer and
videographer co-workers begin to arrive inside the gym, as
well as my tester, Constable Mary
Carr, my bladder feels weaker
than it ever has and I swear
I hit the washroom three
times in 15 minutes.
“Are you ready?” Const.
Carr asks after everything
is set up, blood pressure
taken and waivers signed.
And just like that, the test
begins.
My strategy is simple: go as fast
as I can, but I as I run up the stairs, hop
the fence and come back to do it again, I feel like I’m trailing
my practice run time. My heart is already pounding and my
breathing heavy as I come off into the 70-pound push machine
and start my six wall-touch reps. From there, I run to the arm
restraint simulator, which requires depressing handles and
bringing them together with 35 pounds of force for each
arm, then head back to the 70-pound squat-pull machine
for my next six reps. One more time on the arm machine
and it’s over to the 150-pound body drag. I grab the body by
the wrists and start to drag backwards -- my legs are burning
and I can’t move as fast as I want.
“Come on, come on, come on,” Const. Carr is coaching as
the seconds tick down.
I drop the body at the white line, but it’s the wrong white
line -- it should have been the first one and I’ve dragged him
to the second and assumed I’m done. Const. Carr is yelling
at me to push him to the line.
“Which line?”
“This line,” she stomps on the white line six inches away
with urgency in her voice, and I push him into place, then
drop flat on my belly.
Const. Carr leans over me.
“You have to do it in 2:42 or less,” she says.
“What did I do?” I pant.
“You did it in 2:32.”
I throw my legs into the air and jump up to hug Const.
Carr.
“Good job,” Const. Carr says.
“I feel like I’m going to die,” I say, still trying to catch my
breath.
“Good job, 2:32,” she repeats. “You rock, girlfriend.”
So I do have what it physically takes to be a police officer
after all.
“I was telling you you would kill it and you did it,” said Mr.
Duguay, my trainer in an interview afterwards.
Passing the test has a lot to do with confidence, he added.
“And if getting more physically stronger helps you then
get physically stronger,” Mr. Duguay continued, and added
if you don’t pass right away, don’t get too down. “Because
as soon as you stop believing, of course you’re not going to
pass.”

No two policies are alike so don’t assume you are covered
without checking first. However, I can offer some basic
advice; in short, most property policies automatically cover
water damage that happens “suddenly and accidentally,”
e.g. your dishwasher overflows or a pipe bursts. For things
like sewer back-up, most policies do not provide full coverage
unless you specifically request it (this coverage you should
not be without). If you are unsure of what you’re covered for,
call your Insurance Broker as they often have many solutions.
Don’t have a Broker? Call me. I’ll be happy to review your
policy with you whether you are a customer or not.

Windows are one of the most overlooked aspects of
energy efficiency in your home. Window coverings
greatly improve the insulation value of your windows.
Closing window coverings when it is hot or cold out
or when the room is not in use will cut down your
utility bills. The most popular insulative shades are
the Honeycomb type. The most effective honeycomb
shade is the Duette Architella made by HunterDouglas.
This blind features a honeycomb inside its honeycomb
creating four layers of trapped air that acts as an
insulation barrier doubling or tripling the insulative
value of your window. For more about energy
efficiency, visit us or our website.

I have a son with ADHD. Is
there anything naturopathic
medicine has tooffer to help us?
By: ANKE ZIMMERMANN
Naturopathic medicine can be helpful to children with
ADD/ADHD and other behavioural and learning disorders. One of the simplest
things you can do is to change the lighting in your home and in your son’s school
to full spectrum lighting. Full spectrum lighting is a more natural light which
includes the full spectrum of light frequencies. In several research studies school
children exposed to full spectrum lighting in the schools showed better
concentration, reduced hyperactivity, better reading abilities and test results, as
well as faster growth, fewer absences dues to

Parents could lobby the schools to have the standard fluorescent lighting replaced

How to Maximize Your
Backyard Enjoyment
By: RONI CARLI
Recent studies indicate that an increasing number
of families are spending more time at home, and
as a result, are maximizing their backyard, transforming it into a cozy oasis
that can be enjoyed year-round. One component is the addition of a ‘hot tub
spa’‚ a catchall phrase covering any one of a number of jetted, heated, water-
filled tubs. From the ancient Romans’ healing baths to restorative hot
springs, the curative powers of water -- especially heated water -- have been
known and prescribed for centuries. Despite this fact, the serious benefits of
warm water therapy have only recently been addres
s
e
d
i
n
t
h
e
d
e
s
i
g
n
and
manufacturing of hot tubs.
February is a great month to explore more of the benefits of hot tub spas and
why it would complement your own personal oasis.

By: LINDSAY LIPTON
YES! High definition TV (HDTV) is
now a reality. In York Region, all local cable companies

In the U.S., the FCC has ordered all stations to be full-

Disconnect all garden hoses and store them indoors. Failing to do so will trap water in the
faucet or in the hose bib, which can cause damage when frozen. Properly turn off the inside

If your pipes freeze, it’s not always a catastrophe. Unless they’ve burst, you don’t have a

It can be silent meaning a spouse or partner may not hear any sound

headaches, muscle or jaw pain and even neck pain. If you have any of these symptoms your
dentist can help determine if grinding or clenching is the cause of your symptom s. Treatment for

What WWhat We Buy:
By David Morgan
STAFF WRITER
Pickering & Whitby area residents are in for a rare treat
when the Toronto Gold, Silver and Diamond Buyers (TGSDB)
host an event here November 1st - 5th at both locations.
The company has identified this region as prime territory
for purchasing valuable diamonds and precious metals—
especially gold and silver. The TGSDB estimates that local
residents have millions of dollars worth of valuables that they
no longer need or want. That is where the TGSDB comes
in—they specialize in buying those items from local sellers
throughout Canada.
Items like gold coins, sterling silver, tea sets and old or
broken engagement rings are in high demand and are being
purchased in massive quantities. Another great way to see
your profits add up quickly is through selling scrap gold. This
can include mismatched earrings, class rings, herringbone
necklaces, etc.—anything that contains gold can dramatically
raise the amount of cash you walk away with.
Currently on a national tour, TGSDB has included
Pickering & Whitby on its list of stops for a limited
engagement. Residents are urged to mark their calendar for
this special opportunity to meet one-on-one with gold, silver
and diamond specialists.
Because of TGSDB’s low overhead, extensive resources
and massive volume, the company is often able to pay out
more than other dealers and retailers. Many customers are
surprised at how much they are offered for seemingly small
amounts. “I had two bent herringbone necklaces, a class ring,
and some outdated earrings that I brought to a show. I walked
out with $425 in less than 15 minutes,” said a satisfied guest.
Providing an economic boost to each region it visits,
the TGSDB projects to pay out $350,000 at each event—a
testament to the high volume of items they purchase and the
prime prices being paid. Offers are made based on rarity,
collectability, condition and market value.
Company spokesman Matthew Enright says, “We just
paid $4,700 for a loose 1.25 carat diamond. Our mission
is to pay local residents on the spot for sterling silverware,
loose diamonds, fine jewellery, coins and precious metals—
especially silver and gold.” The company has seen a huge
influx of gold lately. “Customers have been scrambling to
cash into the record-high value of gold,” adds Enright. For
those who are unsure if their item is genuine gold or silver,
or simply costume, the company will test it for free. “The best
strategy is to bring all items to the show for a free evaluation
by our specialists. It always amazes me how a small handful
of gold and silver can turn into hundreds of dollars in just a
few moments. We test and weigh items right on the spot,”
Enright says.
At a recent show, a small-town dentist had a nice
pay day. “I have been collecting dental gold for years from
patients who didn’t want their extracted teeth. It really added
up—my check is for over $31,000!” While most people
don’t have buckets of dental gold at their fingertips, they do
have $750 worth of scrap gold scattered throughout their
homes, according to industry specialists.
In addition to scrap gold, fine jewellery and diamonds,
coins are always a big hit. Offers will be made on most
coins dated 1967 and earlier—gold coins, silver dollars,
half dollars, quarters, nickels and dimes. Enright explains,
“Canadian coins made before 1967 are worth more than
their legal tender amount because they can contain up to
92.5% silver. Rare dates and mint marks can make them even
more valuable. We recently paid $78,000 for an amazing
coin collection. One couple brought in a rusty coffee can
filled with silver coins, sawdust, and a dead spider. The can
had been in the basement for years. We were happy to send
them home with a check for more than $700!”
Pickering & Whitby area residents should start collecting
their valuables now to bring to the free event, which runs this
Tuesday - Saturday. Offers will be made and cash will be
paid on the spot. Attendance is expected to be high, but
no appointment is needed. Enright encourages everyone to
take advantage of this special opportunity to meet directly
with specialists at the Toronto Gold, Silver and Diamond
Buyers. He concludes, “It’s a great chance for people to
cash in their old diamonds, jewellery, coins and scrap gold.
This is a seller’s market. We’re only here till Saturday, so
don’t miss out!”

TERRY INKLER
Canadian Collectors Roadshow
Staff Writer
After very successful shows in Newmarket
and Burlington,The Roadshow is coming
to Oshawa. So you had better search
through your attics and garages, go
through your lock boxes and jewellery,
because you may be sitting on a small
fortune and not even know it!Roadshow
experts are here to examine all your an-
tiques, collectibles, gold and silver.
During a show near Toronto, a woman
came in with a jewellery box that she had
just inherited from her late aunt.“I don’t
wear jewellery,” explained Barbara Engles,
“so it was an easy decision to come down
to the Roadshow to sell it”.She was very
excited when she was able to walk away
with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewellery
she was never going to wear anyway.
Expert Elijah Gold explains,“We have no-
ticed a substantial increase in the amount
of precious metals such as gold and silver
coming to the Roadshow,which makes
sense considering how high it’s currently
trading at.He added,“The Roadshow is
great because it puts money in people’s
pockets, especially during such hard times.
Lots of items that are just sitting around
collecting dust in basements and jewel-
lery boxes can be exchanged for money,
on the spot!”
At another Roadshow event, a woman,
named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a
tin full of hundreds of old coins that were
given to her as a young child by her grand-
the Roadshow and see what he had given
her.She was ecstatic to learn she had
coins dating back to the late 1800’s,some
of which were extremely rare.Roadshow
consultant Perry Bruce explains “We had
uncovered an 1871 QueenVictoria 50 Cent
piece, valued at over $2,000!! She had a
nice assortment of coins that were not
rare dates, but she was able to sell them
for their silver content”.She explains,“I
never would have thought that my old tin
afford to renovate my kitchen”. Perry
Bruce continued,“Canadian coins prior to
1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are
all made with silver,and we have noticed a
large increase of customers coming to the
Roadshow with coins and cashing them in
for their silver value”.
Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and
examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE,
as well as educate you on them.The
Roadshow sees hundreds of people during
a one week event,and they have been
travelling across Canada to different cities
and towns, searching for your forgotten
treasures.
Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs,
pocket watches,porcelain and bisque
dolls, pretty much everything can be
sold at the Roadshow.Any early edition
Barbie’s are sought after by the Roadshow
collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky
Toys and Matchbox cars.LionelTrains and
a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price,
especially if they are in their original box
or in mint condition.If a collector is look-
ing for one of your collectibles, they can
always make an offer to buy it.
A man brought in a 1950’s MarxTinToy
Robot, in fairly good condition,still in
its original box.They were able to locate
minutes, and that gentleman went home
with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few
other small toys.
So whether you have an old toy car, a
broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting
in the closet,bring it down to the Road-
show,they will take a look at it for FREE
and it could put money in your pocket!
See you at the roadshow!

Ajax Budokan
Club member
Jessica Klimkait wins
two national titles
ShAwn CAyley
scayley@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- It’s been quite a year
on the judo scene for Jessica Klim-
kait.
The Whitby native and member
of the Ajax Budokan Judo Club
competed at the junior nation-
al level and captured victory not
once, but twice.
Fighting at the time as a 14
year old, Klimkait won both the
U17 and U20 championships in
Sept Isles, Quebec. The crown-
ing moment of the two big wins
came in the U20 tournament as
she defeated a black belt competi-
tor four years her senior en route
to the championship.
Looking back on her accom-
plishments, and that fight specifi-
cally, Klimkait admits she battled
her nerves a little bit in addition to
the competition.
“It was really intimidating when
I first found out that I’d be fight-
ing her,” she says of matching
up against the 18 year old. “But I
just focused on myself and hav-
ing good technique. I knew if I
had good technique and good
strength, I could be better than her
... I relied on my training and my
coaches and that’s how I beat her.”
Klimkait has been involved in
judo since about the age of five.
She grew up watching her broth-
er in the sport and was intrigued
enough to get involved as soon as
the opportunity arose.
“My dad found out about this
club in Ajax through someone, so
he got my brother into it when he
was, like, five. I saw what he was
doing and I was really interested
in it and have been interested in it
since,” she explains.
While the winning she has
enjoyed recently is nice, Klimkait
says the competitive nature of the
sport and the challenges it pro-
vides are two of the main elements
that have kept her involved over
the years amongst the lure of other
sports.
“I’ve grown up with judo my
whole life and I feel it pushes you
physically and mentally,” says
the Father Leo J. Austin student.
“I really like challenges and I feel
this sport gives me challenges that
I look forward to and improve
myself with.”
“I can always improve in it and I
am always looking forward to the
next big tournament.”
Where and when that next big
tournament is, Klimkait isn’t sure.
She had qualified for U17 worlds
this summer, but after talking it
over with her family, decided that
the time wasn’t quite right to step
up to that level.
She does have her eye on com-
peting at both the U17 and U21
worlds in the future. And she’s
dreaming even bigger.
“Obviously I’ll continue to push
myself to be better,” she says of
what the future holds, before add-
ing “every kid would dream of
going to the Olympics, so yeah, I
dream of going to the Olympics.”

AJAX -- Whitby’s Jessica Klimkait, 14, a member of the Ajax Budokan Judo Club, has been to three
junior nationals. This year, in Sept Isles, Quebec, she won first place in both U17 and U20.

Pan Am Games medal haul for local athletes
Podium finishes
in field hockey,
fencing, rugby
sevens and soccer
GUADALAJARA, MEXICO --
Athletes from Ajax and Pickering
had a strong finish to the Pan
American Games that wrapped
up over the weekend.
Canada took the silver medal
in the men’s field hockey com-
petition, which included Kee-
gan Pereira from Ajax.
Canada finished first in pool
play with wins over Trinidad and
Tobago (7-2), Chile (4-0) and
Barbados (10-0). In the semifi-
nal, Canada edged Cuba 3-2, but
lost in the gold medal game 3-1
to Argentina after leading early
1-0.
The Canadian team of Ains-
ley Switzer of Ajax, Sherraine
Schalm (Brooks, Alta.), Daria
Jorquera (Winnipeg) and San-
dra Sassine (Montreal) earned
a silver medal in the women’s
team epee fencing event.
John Moonlight of Pickering
helped Canada’s men’s rugby
sevens team defeat Argenti-
na 26-24 to win gold, scoring a
pair of trys in the championship
game.
Canada recorded opening-
day victories over Brazil 45-0,
Chile 35-7 and USA 29-21. Can-
ada advanced to the gold medal
game with a 21-19 decision over
USA in the semifinal.
The Canadian women’s soccer
team, including Candace Chap-
man of Ajax, won gold, defeat-
ing Brazil in penalty kicks in the
gold medal match.
Chapman, a 28-year-old
defender with Canada’s national
soccer team, was part of the his-
toric victory.
Canada and Brazil played to
a 1-1 draw before a 4-3 win on
kicks concluded the tournament
in style for the Canadians. Chap-
man, who played all 120 min-
utes of the game, had a chance
to be the hero in penalty kicks,
but her shot on the fifth kick,
with Canada leading 4-3, hit the
post. However, Canadian goal-
keeper Karina LeBlanc made
her second save on the next shot
and Canada celebrated its first
Pan Am Games gold in women’s
soccer.
Captain Christine Sinclair
headed home Canada’s only goal
during regulation time, tying the
game from a Diana Matheson
corner kick in the 87th minute.
Canada finished the tourna-
ment undefeated with a record
of three wins and two draws.

New acquisitions
help in 2-1 win
over Toronto
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- A couple of
recent acquisitions helped
the Pickering Panthers put
a victory in the win column
Sunday in Ontario Junior
Hockey League play.
One, goaltender Spen-
cer Bacon, stopped 43 of
the 44 shots fired at him by
the Toronto Jr. Canadiens,
while offensively, Nicholas
Popelar’s power-play goal
in the third period against
his former team proved to
be the game-winner in a 2-1
decision.
“We played well on Sun-
day,” said head coach Mike
Galati. “It was nice to come
out with a lead and be able to
hold on to it. Spencer Bacon
was a big part of it and having
Popelar score the winning
goal against his old team was
nice too.”
Evan Bruno opened the
scoring for the Panthers in
the first period on a Bran-
don Parks setup, and Bacon,
making his third consecutive
start, allowed the only shot
to get by him in the second
period during a Vaughan
power play. Popelar’s win-
ner, with 5:14 to go on the
power play, provided the dif-
ference.
Ironically it was the power
play, more specifically giving
up odd-man situations, that
cost the Panthers on home
ice Friday in an 8-2 loss to
Vaughan. The Panthers
were shorthanded 15 times,
coughing up five goals.
“Power plays cost us on
Friday,” conceded Galati.
“We gave up 15 power plays,
some deserved, some not
deserved, but that’s the way
it goes.”
Bruno opened the scor-
ing for the Panthers just 17
seconds into the game, but
it wasn’t a sign of things to
come. Vaughan scored the
next eight goals of the game,
three in the first, two in the
second and three more in
the third before Andrew
Goldberg rounded out the
scoring in the final minute.
Fortunately for the Pan-
thers (3-13-1) they can erase
the bad taste from that lop-
sided loss when they host
Vaughan on Sunday night
at the Pickering Recreation
Complex with a 6:30 faceoff.
“I think we owe them some
payback for what happened
Friday,” said Galati of the
short memory he hopes his
team maintains.
In other team news, goal-
tender Denny Dubblestyne
was traded to Milton in a
cash transaction, while assis-
tant coach Dan Sullivan
resigned from the hockey
club.

Revered MMA trainer
Greg Jackson visits
discusses ‘meat
and potatoes’
of sport
mac WilsoN
newsroom@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- With the
surging popularity of
Mixed Martial Arts, new
fans are slowly being intro-
duced to the names and
faces which have made it
the fastest growing sport
on the planet.
While the athletes
involved are facing a single
opponent, all of the com-
petitors surround them-
selves with an entire team
to support their success.
Greg Jackson has earned
himself a reputation as one
of the best strategists, cor-
nermen and training camp
organizers in the game
today.
While he started his Jack-
son’s MMA gym in 1992
as a means to provide his
friends in his native Albu-
querque, New Mexico with
some needed self defence
training, his reputation
began to build quickly as
his teaching methods and
philosophies on martial
arts began to attract stu-
dents from all over New
Mexico; then the United
States; and now the world.
Since he began train-
ing competitors for MMA,
Jackson has become one
of the most recognizable
faces of the sport as he
has produced numerous
champions, maintains a
stable of around 70 fight-
ers and has earned himself
a handful of awards for set-
ting the standard in MMA
training.
This past Friday, visitors
of World Class Condition-
ing in Pickering were treat-
ed to a visit by the world
famous trainer as Jackson
laid out a number of the
principles and techniques
that have led him and his
students to the very peak
of the MMA mountain.
When asked about the
seminar turnout and
how it had gone, Jackson
replied, “I had a blast. The
group is very educated. I’ve
been doing seminars for 15
years and it’s a lot of fun for
me to see now that I don’t
have to do the basics any-
more. So for me, it’s a lot of
fun because you can just
get to the good, fun, meat
and potatoes of it.”
The meat and potatoes
Jackson refers to are the
key ingredients that make
him the premier game plan
strategist in MMA today.
The likes of Georges St.
Pierre, Jon Jones and many
others have sought out
Jackson for the guidance
and perspective he pro-
vides through his coach-
ing. While many instruc-
tors can teach the value of
punching and kicking in
MMA, few can help you
see the big picture as in the
way Jackson teaches.
Teaching lessons passed
down from Abe Lincoln,
Genghis Khan, Miyamoto
Musashi and many more,
Jackson challenges his
students to embrace the
relation of music, military
strategy, philosophy and
more to their training in
order to use these ubiqui-
tous principles that govern
the arts to their advantage.
Participants of Jackson’s
seminar came educated on
their techniques but were
seeking these philoso-
phies that have made Jack-
son one of the most recog-
nizable coaches in MMA
today.
For those who missed
out on the seminar and
would like to see Jackson
in his element and in per-
son, you may have to wait
for UFC 140 in Toronto
where he will be corner-
ing Jon ‘Bones’ Jones as
he defends his UFC light-
heavyweight title against
Lyoto ‘The Dragon’ Machi-
da.

OntariO HOckey League
Oshawa Generals lack cohesion, consistency
Brian Mcnair
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Gener-
als are exactly one-quarter of the
way through the Ontario Hockey
League season, and, disturbingly,
sit ninth in the Eastern Confer-
ence in winning percentage.
In other words, if the season
were to continue to play out this
way, they would miss the playoffs
-- unthinkable for a team that was
supposed to contend for a cham-
pionship this season.
There’s still plenty of time to
right the ship, mind you, but frus-
tration is starting to set in, which,
during Sunday’s 5-2 loss to the
Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors,
was obvious both on and off the
ice.
“There’s just not that cohesion
right now that we’d like to have.
I’m not sure, I’m not sure,” said
head coach and general manag-
er Chris DePiero, searching for
answers for his 7-8-0-2 club. “I
mean we’re trying to find different
ways, different line combinations,
different scenarios ... I thought
for the first half of the game we
played well, played hard and then
a little adversity came in and we
started to come unglued. I think
that’s what we’ve got to work on
more than anything.”
Indeed, the Generals were in the
game through a scoreless first
period, but beyond a cross bar
hit by Lucas Lessio, didn’t come
close to denting the armour of an
unflappable JP Anderson in the
St. Mike’s net.
The Majors took control with
three goals in the second period,
two of them short-handed, and
one in particular, by former Gen-
eral David Corrente, that was the
back-breaker.
Just over two minutes after JP
Labardo had put the Generals on
the board with a power-play goal,
Corrente finished off a pretty two-
on-one with Jamie Wise to give
the Majors a 3-1 lead the Gener-
als never recovered from.
“Yeah, for sure, that wasn’t the
outcome we wanted tonight or
last night in Owen Sound,” said
captain Boone Jenner, referring
also to Saturday’s 6-2 loss to the
Attack. “We’re just trying to stay
positive here. We’ve got to learn
from our mistakes in these losses
and try to build some confidence
up here going into the next week.
We’ve got to get going for sure.”
Jenner has been the team’s best
player so far, leading the team in
goals (9), points (20) and plus-
minus (+8) in the 16 games he has
played.
But, while he’s also been fairly
consistent, the rest of the team
has not been, something it will
need to address quickly if it hopes
to advance to the upper half of the
standings, where most observ-
ers felt the team would reside this
season.
“It’s one thing to do it one night,
but being consistent is huge, and
I think that’s what we’re miss-
ing right now,” said Jenner, who
had two goals and an assist in
an impressive 5-1 win over the
Belleville Bulls at home Friday.
“Everyone in that room knows we
can do it. It’s just a matter of doing
it.
“Nobody likes losing, right, so
everyone’s a little pissed off about
that, but that’s the way it should
be,” he added, insisting the play-
ers are still on the same page. “We
want to be winners and every-
body in there wants to win, so
when you’re losing it’s not fun.
We’ve just to get out of this, put
this weekend behind us and look
forward to the next weekend and
push shift by shift.”
The Generals (7-8-0-2) are at
Niagara (7-6-0-2) Thursday, at
Sudbury (7-6-1-0) Friday and
back home Sunday against the
Kitchener Rangers (8-5-1-0) at
6:05 p.m.
