PICKERING -- The City of Pickering recently built an accessible garden plot, the City’s first, for gardener Jeff Harrison, who has MS.

PICKERING -- After multiple sclerosis interrupted his passion for
gardening, Jeff Harrison is getting his green thumb back with a
little help from the City of Pickering.
A longtime member of the Valley Plentiful Community Garden,
Mr. Harrison began having trouble bending down to tend his gar-
den last year, making weeding and watering difficult, and the gar-
den’s wood chip paths proved difficult to navigate in his motor-
ized scooter.
“I felt awful but it was just getting too dangerous so I had to
take the bed away,” said Carolyn Kasperski, co-ordinator of the
garden, noting she planned to buy him an accessible garden bed
using charitable donations, but when she approached the City of
Pickering for permission, it offered to build it.

Company to spend
$850 million
on research,
development
Keith GilliGan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harp-
er made a stop in Oshawa Tuesday as Gen-
eral Motors announced almost $1 billion will
be spent on research and development over
the next five years.
The prime minister was joined by Ontario
Premier Dalton McGuinty, federal Finance
Minister Jim Flaherty, some area MPs and
MPPs and local officials at GM’s Canadian
Engineering Centre Tuesday afternoon for
the announcement.
The investment, which will be about $850
million, was part of the agreement in 2009
between the company and the federal and
provincial governments in which GM would
receive about $10.9 billion in loans to stay
afloat.
“What a pleasure it is as a company to
announce a research and development
investment of about $1 billion,” Mr. Harp-
er said. “I can’t help recalling how different
things were more than three years ago.”
The decision to invest $10.9 billion in GM
was a “difficult decision and the right one.
Indeed the only one,” Mr. Harper stated, add-
ing, “We couldn’t afford to have this industry
to relocate south of the border to the U.S.”
The investment “prevented long-term
devastation” in the Canadian economy, the
prime minister added.
“Our government’s top priority is creating
good, well-paying jobs for Canadians,” he
said.
“This investment is good news. The satis-
faction I take comes from the exciting impli-
cations,” Mr. Harper noted. “The ripple effects
will be felt far and wide. Winning creates its
own momentum.”
Mr. McGuinty said the federal and provin-
cial governments formed a partnership with
GM to prevent massive job losses.
“It would be a huge blow to your families
and to our economy. Together, we never lost
confidence in your skills, knowledge or ability
to compete. We’re committed to each other,”
Mr. McGuinty said.
Since the company has received the loans, it
has rebounded, repaid the loans and recalled
workers, he noted.
Mr. McGuinty praised the workers, saying
“your groundbreaking ideas, and willingness
to do whatever it takes” has helped move the
company forward.
GM Canada president Kevin Williams said,
“Our gratitude is deep and it’s what’s driving
us to make Canada proud of GM again. We’re
going to live up to that commitment.”
He noted since 2009, “almost 100 records of
innovation, patents” have been created at the
engineering centre.
The investment will create “game-changing
technology for tomorrow’s automobiles,” he
said.
“There’s a new passion, creativity and inno-
vation” in GM Canada, Mr. Williams noted.
He referred to the engineering centre
employees as the “innovative machine. We
have a real zest for innovation.”
Matt Crossley, director of engineering for
GM Canada, said about $100 million has
already been spent.
The money will be spent at GM facilities in
Canada, not just in Oshawa, he noted.
Mr. Flaherty, MP for Whitby-Oshawa, noted
the auto sector faced “unprecedented chal-
lenges” starting in 2008. “It hasn’t been easy,
but today, the Canadian auto sector is better
able to compete. We did what was necessary
to stabilize the auto industry.”
The money will be used on such things as
developing more lightweight metals, which
will help improve fuel efficiency.
GM will also work with its suppliers to
develop new and better products, Mr. Wil-
liams said.
In June, GM announced it would be closing
the consolidated line at the Oshawa plant,
throwing 2,000 people out of work.
After his speech, Mr. Harper said, “We’re
obviously concerned when Canadians are
losing their jobs. Our focus is on creating
jobs. Hundreds of high-paying engineering
jobs are being supported by this investment.”

AJAX -- A Facebook page has been set up to remem-
ber an Ajax youth who drowned on the weekend.
Trevaughn Miller, 17, died while swimming with
friends in the Barrie area on Saturday, July 21.
Postings on the page, which can be found at www.
facebook.com/RipTrevaughnMiller, included Cindy
Voyde Vye saying, “Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this.
What a sad loss for not only the family, but for the
entire world. My condolences.”
Another wrote, “Rip to Trevaughn. You’ll be
missed by many. We will never forget you. Forever in
our hearts.”
“I think about how much I miss him, and start to
feel sorry for myself.....but then I think about all the
people who never got the chance to meet him, and
I start to feel sorry for them,”
another person posted.
On a Facebook page for CTV
Barrie, Mike Jones posted, “rip
trevaughn you were one of the
nicest guys i knew, highschool
wouldnt have been the same
with out! ill miss you bro youll
forever be in my heart!”
The accident happened
around 10:30 a.m. when
Trevaughn, swimming with
friends, ran into difficulties. He
was pulled from the water with-
out vital signs.
Members of the Southern Georgian Bay OPP
responded to a cottage in Tiny Township and report-
ed cottagers began CPR until emergency crews
arrived. “Sadly, the youth was pronounced deceased
by the area coroner who attended the scene,” an OPP
spokesman said.
An autopsy was to be performed at the Royal Victo-
ria Hospital in Barrie to confirm the cause of death.
Paula Melless, a neighbour of the family, said,
“This is a family that truly is in need and I’d love to
see (Trevaughn’s mother) get some help. She’s got
twin daughters and she’s doing this all on her own.
“They’re a family who really struggles on the best
of days,” Ms. Melless said.
She helped set up an account with the Royal Bank
where anyone can make a donation to help the Mill-
ers. To make a donation, visit any Royal Bank and
mention Trevaughn Miller.
Trevaughn was a student at Ajax High School. A
posting on the school’s website reported the news
of Trevaughn’s death and noted grief counsellors
would be available for anyone needing them.
“It is with sadness that we are writing to share some
information involving the death of Trevaughn Mill-
er, a student who attended our school. On behalf of
the staff at Ajax High School, we express our deepest
sympathies to the family and friends of our student,”
the posting noted. “It is our goal to help our students
feel safe and supported during this unsettling time.
Please know that grief counsellors and support staff
are available to support students and staff. We will
continue to encourage anyone who feels they are in
need of support to visit our counsellors in the com-
ing days. The school is open for summer school
Monday to Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.”
Funeral arrangements are pending.

What can I do to reduce
packaging?
Virtually all products and
packaging eventually become
waste. Municipalities, being at the
‘end of the pipe’, are responsible
for their management, largely from
residential sources.
Unfortunately, municipalities
have no input or control over
how products and packages are
designed. Poor initial design can
result in packaging and products
that cannot be reused or recycled
and must be disposed of in
landfill.
Often opportunities to reduce
waste are greatest at the point-of-
purchase.
Bring your own bags when you
shop and try to buy in bulk as often
as possible. Use a travel mug for
your tea and coffee when you’re
on the go.
Whenever possible, buy refillable
or reusable containers. If you are
unable to avoid them entirely,
choose products with packaging
that is accepted into the Blue Box
program.
Don’t buy items with
excess packaging.
Contact manufacturers
and let them know that
you find their packaging wasteful
(possibly include the packaging
from the product).
Leave packaging at retailers for
them to manage.
My blue box is cracked.
Where can I get a new
one?
Ifyourgreenbinsorblueboxesare
broken,replacementsareprovided
free of charge as long as you bring
your broken bins for exchange to
the Wa ste Management Centre
located at 4600 Garrard Rd. N.
in Whitby between the hours of
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to
Friday.
If you are new to the Region
of Durham, new diversion kits
that include a green bin, kitchen
catcher, and blue boxes can
be obtained by contacting the

Durham needs to do the math
on welfare card program
The Olympics are almost here.
I’ll be watching as much of the action from London as I can, which means my reading
may suffer. I normally read while I watch TV; however, with the Olympics, if you
glance at your book, you might miss a perfect dive, a speedy 100-metre sprint or
a split-second finish in the pool.
So the book stays closed.
Well, mostly because not all Olympic events preclude reading. There’s
plenty of time during long-distance track events, mountain biking and the
marathon. Unless you are competing in them.
If you’ve got children or grandchildren who
like the Olympics, this is a good time to intro-
duce some specific reading. They can delve
into books to learn more about the sports at
the Games and the athletes who compete in
them.
And don’t forget you can check out perfor-
mances by Durham Region’s athletes and
other Ontario athletes at durhamregion.com.
Sports editor Brian McNair will be sending
stories from the Games in London.
Here are some Olympic suggestions for
books for children to serve as a starter for you:
G is for Gold Medal: An Olympic Alphabet by
Brad Herzog and Doug Bowles
The 2012 London Olympics by Nick Hunter
Great Moments in the Summer Olympics by Matt Christopher and Stephanie Peters
The Olympics: Legendary Sporting Events by Matt Christopher
If you are looking for books about Olympic athletes, try these:
The World’s Greatest Olympians by Michael Hurley.
Rapid Ray: The Story of Ray Lewis by John Cooper, about a Canadian who, among
other accomplishments, ran his way to a bronze medal at the 1932 Olympics in
Los Angeles.
Simon Says Gold: Simon Whitfield’s Pursuit of Athletic Excellence by Simon Whit-
field, a good one to read as this Canadian athlete pursues more medals in Lon-
don.
Bobbie Rosenfeld: The Olympian Who Could Do Every-
thing by Anne Dublin, about a Canadian woman who
won two medals in 1928 and is considered one of Cana-
da’s top female athletes in the 20th century.
And here’s one I might want to invest in -- How to
Watch the Olympics by David Goldblatt and Johnny
Acton.
Olympics aside, don’t forget Pass the Book.
Details here: www.passthebook.ca
Christy Chase is a copy editor at Metroland Media Group
Durham Region Division. She’s currently reading ‘The
Crippled God’ by Steven Erikson (Canadian content).
G is for gold and great moments at the Olympics
Sometimes, not being first is a good
thing.
A new welfare program about to roll out
in the City of Toronto has piqued interest
here in Durham, where officials are keep-
ing an eye on how well things go. Toronto
will replace its welfare cheques with debit
cards, an administrative change expect-
ed to save money for both the City and
Ontario Works clients.
Toronto is the first municipality in
Ontario to introduce the card, which will
have a PIN and chip security technology
and can be used to access cash through
ATMs or purchase items at retailers.
In Durham, just more than half of the
9,500 Ontario Works clients receive their
monthly payment through direct deposit
to a bank account.
The rest are issued paper cheques, in
most cases because they don’t have an
account. Those clients rely on cheque-
cashing services to access their money,
which costs them extra fees.
A switch to a debit card system could
also provide significant administrative
savings to Durham Region, and in turn, its
taxpayers. In Toronto, officials expect the
new system could save the City $2.5 mil-
lion a year in administrative costs.
Paul Cloutier, director of the Region’s
income and employment support divi-
sion, wasn’t able to say how much Dur-
ham spends issuing Ontario Works
cheques, explaining that they are part of
a larger banking contract. But he plans to
meet with colleagues in Toronto over the
summer and will report to Durham politi-
cians in the fall.
Hard numbers will need to be worked
out in Durham, so that politicians and
staff have a clear picture of potential bud-
get savings that could be realized by mov-
ing to an Ontario Works card system.
Watching to see what wrinkles Toronto
might need to iron out in the new pro-
gram gives Durham an added advantage.
Any program that can cut expenses for
both Ontario Works clients and Durham
taxpayers deserves serious scrutiny and
consideration. Durham faces tough bud-
getary deliberations each year, and tax-
payers are weary of constant increases
and working to balance their own limited
budgets. Anything that offers streamlin-
ing and more value for the money will be
a bargain too good to pass up.
In this equation, there are three parties
that, at first blush, could potentially save
money: Durham Region, taxpayers and
Ontario Works clients. We’ll be looking
for Durham to do the math and come up
with hard numbers as Toronto moves for-
ward.

Editorial OpinionsKristen’s Kritters Adopt A Pet
WHITBY -- Champ is a 12-year-old male col-
lie cross. He was found with a plastic bucket
around his neck, which had been on him for
more than five months. Underneath the bucket
was a cloth wrapped with packing tape. When
all was removed, there was a tumour the size
of a softball hanging from his neck. The benign
tumour was removed and Champ has made
a great recovery. He is very social, is a joy to
walk, and all the volunteers love him. For more
information, call 905-665-7430.

DURHAM -- I was having breakfast in the sun-
room when I happened to glance at the hibiscus
just outside the window. One of our largest house
plants, it loves to spend summer in the sun and rain,
rewarding us with bright red blossoms. So, grunting
and groaning, my husband and I wrestle it out the
door every spring and back in again come fall.
Sitting on a leaf at my elbow, beyond the glass, was a
very pretty insect shaped like a shield, with a lime-green
triangle on its leathery back.
“Dennis! Come see!” I called, when he happened by.
He did, took one look and said, “Stink bug.” He also spot-
ted the old exoskeleton it had just emerged from. It started
an ongoing conversation about these good-sized bugs that
feed on fruits and blossoms, and in some species, caterpil-
lars and other insects, via piercing, sucking mouthparts. They
defend themselves by emitting an unpleasant odor when dis-
turbed.
It turns out stink bugs comprise one family of “true bugs”
-- insects whose lower lip is extended to hold tiny syringes and
swords as eating utensils, and whose wings attach to a triangle
on their back. Stink bugs emit their smelly chemicals via tubules
along their thorax. We have about 200 species in Canada, 4,000 or
so worldwide. Most tend to wear camouflage colours of brown or
green, though some have gorgeous red or yellow markings.
I have vague memories of stink bugs from my high school biology
insect collection and from gardening through the years. But I can’t
quite recall what they smell like -- something Dennis describes as
having the pernicious, penetrating power of skunk spray. By the
time I decided I wanted to know, my bug had gone off to do what
they do best: hide in the leaves.
So began my quest to find a stink bug and get to know it, at least
in the olfactory sense. Dennis recommended I check out stands of
wild raspberries, those not dried up by the drought. Apparently the
red fruits are as delicious to stink bugs as they are to people, so you
have your best chance of touching one -- and smelling the results --
in a berry patch.
It’s occurred to me that of the hundreds of readers with nature
questions who have gotten in touch over the years, no one’s ever
mentioned stink bugs. I may be the only person in all of Durham
eager to track one down. Does that seem odd or quirky? Maybe I’d
better not advertise the fact.

Harsh laws
needed for
animal abusers
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- It was a heart-wrenching
sight as a little dog with injuries I never
wished to see on a pet teetered toward me
in Whitby last week.
The shih tzu cross had suffered severe
burns to half his body and was found by
a passerby on July 10, tied to a large gar-
bage bin behind No Frills in Pickering, in
severe pain. The citizen took the dog to
the Humane Society of Durham Region,
and he was immediately treated at Baker
Animal Clinic. I cringe to think about
what would have happened had he not
been spotted.
When I met this poor pooch, he was on
the mend, amazingly regaining his ener-
gy, and was obviously attached to Dr.
Cheryl Birss, who had performed the sur-
gery and taken him in as a foster.
She believes the dog, who original-
ly went by Rotti but she re-named Ollie,
received the burns from some sort of liq-
uid, and that he’d been suffering for days
before he was found.
The person who did this could face a
fine of $60,000 and possibly two years in
prison, which seems pretty weak to me.
Canada’s animal abuse laws are thin
and archaic, and we need harsher penal-
ties for people who are convicted of such
crimes.
Acts of violence toward animals worry
me for humans, too. It’s no myth that
crimes against pets can indicate even
more disturbing behaviour that manifests
later in the offender’s life. I’ve done some
research and the results were disturbing.
If you love animals, or mankind for that
matter, ask your local members of parlia-
ment what they plan to do to tighten these
very loose laws.
For now, we have to work with what
we’ve got, and this person must be
found.
The dog’s original owner was found
through a microchip in Ollie, but had
given him away and apparently he got
lost after that. It’s unknown who the dog
(he could have been called Rotti at the
time) was with at the time of the incident.
If you have any information on what
happened to him, please call the Humane
Society at 905-665-7430, ext. 225. If you’re
the person who found him, please call
too. A piece of information that seems
irrelevant to you could help investigators
solve the case.

“Jeff had participated in the garden all
along so to disinclude him would have
been a shame, we wanted to make sure
he could continue to participate and feel
that sense of belonging,” said Rob Gagen,
supervisor, parks
operations for the
City. “We want all
our parks and activi-
ties to be accessible
and enjoyable to all.”
For Mr. Harrison,
the new raised gar-
den plot means he
can continue enjoy-
ing one of his favou-
rite activities.
“It’s such a joy to bring something home
that you’ve grown and eat it,” Mr. Harrison
said of his crop of peas, tomatoes, cucum-
bers and beans.
The raised bed is a large box built of
cedar and filled with compost and soil. It
allows Mr. Harrison to perch on the edge to
water, weed and plant or even water from
his chair, with no need for bending down.
“I was so excited, it was like getting a new
toy,” Mr. Harrison said of the accessible
bed, which is located closer to the road so
it’s easily accessed by car. “It’s just amazing
what they did and I’m very grateful.”
Mr. Gagen said the City plans to add more
accessible beds after seeing what a success
the first one was.
“I’m sure there
are people out
there who would
love to do this but
have been hesi-
tating because
they can’t garden
at ground level,”
he explained.
Ms. Kasper-
ski said there
are plans to add one more bed this year, if
funding can be found. For now, the entire
garden community has been rallying
around Mr. Harrison, helping him create
his new plot.
“People have been giving him plants to
put in his garden or they just come over to
admire it,” she explained.
“Everyone’s really rallied around him
and taken him under their wing, it’s quite
a little community here.”

Officials stress
importance of
fire safety
while cooking
PICKERING -- Officials are warning resi-
dents of the danger of cooking fires after two
Pickering men were burned by flames from a
pot left unattended.
The men were burned after a fire broke out
around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24 when a
pot of cooking oil was left unattended on the
stove of a Liverpool Road home. A 23-year-
old man sleeping upstairs was awakened by a
smoke alarm and alerted other occupants of
the house, who were outside at the time.
Two men, both 25, attempted to extin-
guish the fire and suffered second-degree
burns to their hands. One of the men also
suffered burns to his back. Both were treat-
ed and released from Rouge Valley Ajax and
Pickering hospital.
Pickering Fire officials are stressing the
importance of staying in the kitchen while
cooking, as cooking fires are the No. 1 cause
of residential fires in Ontario.
Officials recommend keeping a proper-
fitting pot lid near the stove when cooking.
In case of fire, slide the lid over the pot and
turn off the stove, but do not move the pan.
People should always wear tight-fitting cloth-
ing or roll up their sleeves at the stove as fab-
ric can easily catch fire. If clothing does catch
fire, stop, drop to the ground, and roll over to
put out the fire. Combustible items such as
cooking utensils, dishcloths and paper tow-
els should be kept a safe distance away from
the stove. The best way to prevent fires is to
be prepared, including ensuring your home
is protected by working smoke alarms.
“Most fires are preventable,” said Pickering
Fire Chief Bill Douglas.
“Smoke alarms are one of the best and
easiest safety features you can use to pro-
tect yourself, your family and your home.
I strongly urge every resident to take a few
minutes to test their smoke alarms, practise
their home fire escape plan and replace any
smoke alarms that are 10 years or older. Many
people believe that smoke alarms last forever.
They don’t.”
Pickering Fire Service’s annual Home Safe-
ty Program runs until Labour Day, with fire-
fighters providing residents free assistance
with smoke alarm installation and mainte-
nance. Any homeowner who cannot install
or test smoke alarms in their homes due to
age or physical limitations or cannot afford
to purchase a smoke alarm or batteries can
call Fire Prevention at 905-839-9968 for assis-
tance. For more information, visit www.pick-
ering.ca/fire.

Durham well-represented in London
LONDON -- It isn’t just the athletes who hold the Olympic
Games in such high regard as to consider them the pinnacle of
one’s career.
Those who have had -- or in my case, will soon have had
-- the privilege of covering the Games feel the exact same way.
It just doesn’t get any better than this for a journalist.
I touched down at Heathrow Airport Monday at around 9 p.m.
London time, or 4 p.m. back home, a seven-hour flight that took
me 3,249 miles across the Atlantic Ocean.
It took all of about 12 minutes to hear my first “jolly good” and
it was a hint of things to come, as the many volunteers have been
nothing but friendly and helpful so far, quickly whisking us off to
our destinations.
The weather, which had been stereotypically
dreary leading up, is also off to a brilliant start, hope-
fully a sign of things to come for the Games in gen-
eral, and our own Canadian athletes in particular.
Although not as strong in the summer sports
as the winter -- we all remember Vancouver vivid-
ly, don’t we? -- Canada has its fair share of medal
hopefuls from among the 277 athletes who will
take part.
Cyclists Tara Whitten and Catharine Pendrel,
kayaker Adam Van Koeverden and our two rowing
eights teams are among those expected to battle for the top spot
on the podium.
The nine Durham Region athletes you will see featured here
come from a variety of backgrounds, but with the same burning
desire to represent their country with pride and excellence, medal
or no medal.
Among them, we have two -- Whitby gymnast Kristina Vaculik
and Uxbridge equestrienne Jessica Phoenix -- who heart-break-
ingly missed out on the Olympics four years ago in Beijing, but
never gave up on the dream.
For Vaculik, that meant taking a year off from a scholarship at
Stanford University to focus squarely on that goal.
Sacrifice is the one thing all Olympic athletes have in common.
Consider Whitby judoka Kelita Zupancic, who left everything
and everyone she knew behind to train for a year in Japan, the
birthplace of her sport.
And Pickering sprinter Kerri-Ann Mitchell, who packed up and
left a post-masters career in the United States to return home and
rekindle her athletic fire.
All nine of them will be rewarded in the coming weeks for that
sacrifice, given the chance to shine in front of a watching world.
And I’ll be there to hold the spotlight high.

Group. Follow him on twitter @MLOlympics

BROOKLIN -- Emily Batty heads into the 2012 Lon-
don Olympics as, arguably, Durham Region’s top medal
hopeful.
And it’s likely only the tip of the iceberg for the 24-year-
old mountain bike sensation from Brooklin.
The mere fact Batty was named to the Canadian team is
a testament to her potential, given that only two women
were granted spots and Canada is the best in the world
at women’s mountain bike right now.
In doing so, she edged
out Quebec’s Marie-
Helene Premont, a two-
time Olympian who
won a silver medal at
the Athens 2004 Games.
“Eight years ago, I
was coming to Sainte-
Anne to cheer Marie on
with thousands of other
fans,” said Batty, who
was named to the team
at that very same venue.
“To gain the spot over
Marie-Helene, it’s very
honouring, at the same
time it was very, very difficult ... Marie is somebody who
paved my path at a very young age and she, any given
day, is still podium potential.”
Batty, however, has proven over the course of the year
that she too is podium potential, and has out-performed
Premont on the World Cup scene, including winning sil-
ver at the season-opening race in South Africa.
She will be joined in London by British Columbia’s
Catharine Pendrel, the current world champion and
one of Canada’s best hopes for winning gold.
Batty, while still young compared to those around her,
sees no reason why Canada can’t occupy two spots on
the podium when all is said and done.
“These are women I’ve raced with now for many years
and ... I’ve beaten each and every one of them at a dif-
ferent race,” she explains. “I’d say there’s even 10 riders
who are capable of winning the Olympics, so I definitely
go there wanting to do the best that I can obviously, but
I think on a great day, I don’t think a medal is out of the
question. I think it’s absolutely possible.”
Given her age and desire to be the best, Batty admits
these Olympics are not likely to be her last.
“I would really like to be at 2016 as well as 2020. I’ll be
32, which obviously doesn’t seem very old in our sport,
so I would definitely like to attend three Olympics for
our country,” she says. “But I still go to these Olympic
Games with the drive and motivation to perform and to
medal.”
Batty will race on the second last day of the Games,
Aug. 11, at Hadleigh Farm in the Essex countryside.

Durham’s #1 Po ol & Spa Dealer Open All Ye ar Long!

AJAX -- She’s not quite Christine Sinclair kind of important, but make no mistake,
Ajax’s Candace Chapman will be key to Canada’s medal hopes in soccer at the London
2012 Olympic Games.
While Sinclair has been busy supplying much of the national team’s offence over the
past many years, the 29-year-old Chapman has been a rock on the defensive end.
It came as no surprise when Chapman was named to the 18-player roster, given that
she also played at the 2008 Beijing Games, is in the prime of her career and is the fifth
most experienced player on the team.
“She’s been around for a long time and I think just having her experience, knowledge
and that on-the-field and off-the-field presence where she’s quite a calming influence,”
says head coach John Herdman, explaining Chapman’s importance. “She’s just one of
those players that the team loves. She just has a fan-
tastic manner about her, doesn’t get overly stressed.”
Chapman and the rest of the team will be look-
ing to improve upon the effort in Beijing, when they
were sent home following a 2-1 quarter-final loss to
the United States, the eventual champion.
Ranked seventh in the world, Canada will go into
London looking for a medal, but will be in tough
in a group that also includes Japan (third), Sweden
(fourth) and South Africa (61st).
“Definitely the podium is our goal and, of course, a
gold medal,” says Chapman. “I think it’s definitely a
realistic goal for us. I think with any team, you have
to set realistic goals and I think we’re doing that.”
The Canadian women opened the tournament
against Japan on July 25, two days before the official
opening of the Games, then play South Africa on July 28 and Sweden on July 31.
Canada’s best outcome might well be to finish second in pool play, which would like-
ly mean avoiding a quarter-final match-up with the top-ranked U.S. or France, a team
considered much better than its sixth-place world ranking.
Chapman, who was born in Trinidad and Tobago but learned her craft on the soccer
pitches of Ajax, celebrated earning her 100th cap early this year for international games
representing Canada.
Her veteran presence will be counted upon greatly in London.
“I think it’s been an evolution for me on this team,” she says. “I think in these last cou-
ple of years, I’m really stepping up in the back line and being a vocal leader, and also off
the field, watching film and having meetings with the back line and seeing how we can
improve and what we’re doing well.”

Pickering’s Nikkita Holdera little ahead of her time
Beats out three former Olympians to qualify
PICKERING -- Nikkita Holder’s time to shine has come a little before some expected.
Although she had certainly been in the picture to represent Canada at the 2012 Olympic Games in
London, the 25-year-old Pickering hurdler was considered a long-shot behind the likes of two better-
known Durham athletes, former Olympians Priscilla Lopes-Schliep of Whitby and Perdita Felicien of
Pickering.
It was Holder, however, who stepped up and grabbed
one of the three available spots at the national track-
and-field championships in Calgary, along with Lon-
don’s Jessica Zelinka
and Markham’s Phylicia
George.
And while she took
advantage of a disquali-
fication to Felicien and
a stumble by Lopes-
Schliep to win the berth,
she proved her wor-
thiness not long after
by beating both again
in Toronto, winning a
National Track League
event that also included
George and another for-
mer Olympian, Angela
Whyte.
When asked if that victory helped vindicate the fact
she was Olympic-bound, she agreed, if a little reluctant-
ly.
“Yeah, I guess so, but I’m just trying to do my best and I did it,” she said. “I’ve been running with them
now for the past few years, so I think it definitely helps and eases the anxiety a little bit.”
Holder’s first trip to the big stage will be all the more special given that she’ll be accompanied by her
fiance, Justyn Warner of Markham, the lone Canadian to earn a spot in the Olympic’s premier event,
100m sprint.
“It feels great,” she said. “It’ll be a good experience and I’m glad I get to share it with him.”
She would have also liked to enjoy the experience with Lopes-Schliep, who became a Canadian hero-
ine in 2008 when she brought home a bronze medal from Beijing. The pair train together -- along with
George and another Pickering Olympian, Kerri-Ann Mitchell -- under the guidance of coach Anthony
McCleary, who is also from Pickering.
In her absence, though, Holder will do her best to deliver another medal in the event for Canada.
“Of course the podium, I want to get on the podium,” she said, adding she will draw on advice given
to her over the years from Lopes-Schliep. “She’s been mentoring me for years, so I definitely take every-
thing she says and put it in my head and keep it there.”
The women’s hurdles get underway on Monday, Aug. 6 at 5:05 a.m. (ET). The semifinals (2:15 p.m.)
and finals (4 p.m.) go the next day from the Olympic Stadium.
Pickering’s Kerri-Ann Mitchell peaks in time for London
Makes team as sprinter following five-year layoff
PICKERING -- Four years ago, when many of her athletic peers were competing at the Beijing Olym-
pics, Pickering’s Kerri-Ann Mitchell was working in the United States and had given up on track-and-
field.
Now 29, Mitchell is not only back on track, but going
to London as a member of the 2012 Canadian Olympic
team, running the 100-metre dash.
Mitchell earned a scholarship to the University of
Arkansas upon graduation form Pine Ridge Secondary
School, at the time
more of a long jump-
er than a sprint-
er, but ultimately
decided to pursue a
career after earning
her masters degree
from the University
of Oklahoma.
However, after a
five-year absence,
Mitchell got the
itch to compete
again and decided
to return home and
train with coach Anthony McCleary, also of Pickering.
“I kind of decided after my undergraduate year in ‘04
that I was done with the sport. I was good just to get onto the next chapter of working and doing my mas-
ters and so forth,” she recalls. “It wasn’t until about 2009 that I started getting the urge to come back. In
2010, I just packed my car, quit my job and drove back up to Canada to train.”
Mitchell wasn’t among the first wave of athletes announced to the Olympic team, having finished third
at the national championships in Calgary in a wind-aided time of 11:34, narrowly behind Markham’s
Phylicia George (11.295) and Scarborough’s Crystal Emmanuel (11.297).
However, with Emmanuel concentrating on her stronger race, the 200m, and George deciding to drop
out to focus on the 100m hurdles, Mitchell was one of five late additions made by Athletics Canada for
special consideration. It helped that she had run two other Olympic B standard times, 11.36 at the Dono-
van Bailey Invitational Track Meet in Edmonton and 11.32 at the Asian Community Games in Toronto.
Given the long layoff and the fact she is still learning to be a true sprinter, Mitchell was initially looking
more toward 2016 and the Rio Games than London, she admits.
“After taking all those years off I knew my first couple of years would be basically training my body to
be in shape again,” she says. “With that in mind, the Olympics were so close, I thought I’d just be in shape
for these Olympics and come 2016, I’d be rolling, but I ended up being able to roll a little bit earlier. It was
definitely a blessing to be able to qualify for these Games.”
The women’s 100-metre event begins Aug. 3 and concludes the next day at the Olympic Stadium.
Ajax’s Alexandra Landry finding her rhythm
Competing in rhythmic gymnastics
AJAX -- Ajax’s Alexandra Landry is part of a pioneering group of young
women in this country.
Landry, 18, and teammates Rose Cossar, Anjelika Reznik, Anastasiya
Muntyanu, Kelsey Titmarsh and Katrina Cameron, will make up Canada’s first
team entry into Olympic rhythmic gymnastics when they compete at the Lon-
don 2012 Games.
The six young women, who train together at the Kalev Rhythmic Gymnas-
tic Centre in Vaughan, will face stiff competition in London, particularly from
European powerhouses like Russia, Italy and Belarus, but they hope to being
among the eight teams still standing on the final day.
“We’re definitely looking forward to the experience, but we also have a goal
set for us because we don’t want to be
known as a team that just went in as the
wild card,” says Landry, explaining that
Canada earned one of the 12 team berths
as a wild-card entry, representing North
America. “We also want to go in and show
the world that we’re really good. We want to
place top eight and to make the final at the
Olympics. That’s one of our goals going in.”
Landry has been doing the sport since
Grade 1, when she joined a fun after-school
program, but it wasn’t until just recently
that she started thinking big and realizing it
could indeed land her at the Olympics.
“I started thinking about it in 2010 when
they made the team,” says Landry, who
moved over to the competitive Vaughan club in 2004. “We’re the first team that
qualified for Canada, ever, for rhythmic gymnastics. So, it wasn’t really a goal
for our country until we came along and started to do really well internation-
ally.”
The two biggest international highlights to date came at the 2011 Pan Amer-
ican Games in Mexico, where the team delivered two silver medals and a
bronze, and the world championships in France, where they secured the
Olympic berth.
Clinching an Olympic spot for Canada over the United States, in particular,
was a moment Landry won’t soon forget.
“We were sitting at the kiss-and-cry after our last routine and we competed
after all the other teams from our continent, so when the scores were added
up and everything, we actually saw that we qualified, we went crazy,” Landry
recalls. “We were all crying and hugging each other. It was really emotional.”
Rhythmic gymnastics will be held on the final four days of the Olympics,
Aug. 9-12, at Wembley Arena.

UXBRIDGE -- Few will feel greater relief than Jessica Phoenix once she takes Exponential
through his first paces on the historic grounds of Greenwich Park in London July 28.
That day will mark the Olympic debut for Phoenix, the 28-year-old equestrienne who also
qualified for the Beijing Games four years ago, but was forced to withdraw after her horse at the
time, Exploring, suffered a tendon injury in training a
month before.
It will also come despite the fact Phoenix herself suf-
fered a broken collarbone in a spill with Exponential
some two months ago,
an injury that should
be fully healed and not
inhibit her at all come
time to compete with the
world’s best.
“It’s such a huge hon-
our to be given the
opportunity to repre-
sent your country and
always when you get that
phone call, it’s an incred-
ible feeling,” said Phoe-
nix, of being named to the team. “Honestly when I
was 11 years old and I took my first jumping lesson, I
loved it and I can remember deciding at that point it
was something I wanted to do forever and I always had
a dream of representing Canada at the Olympics.”
Phoenix and Exponential are part of Canada’s five-
member eventing team, the triathlon of equestrian
that includes dressage, cross country and show jump-
ing.
She’s a key member of the team, too, having been
named Equestrian of the Year by Equine Canada in
January and coming off an historic individual gold-
medal finish at the 2011 Pan American Games in Mex-

Exponential, a 1998-born thoroughbred, came to
Phoenix five years ago after a career in racing. Phoenix
said he had strong results at two four-star events -- the
highest level -- last year in Kentucky and England that
locked him in as a candidate for London.
“He’s one of the most exceptional jumpers I’ve ever sat on and probably the best jumper I will
ever sit on,” said Phoenix, who competes with as many as 12 horses. “He’s just an incredible
athlete that loves doing his job and I couldn’t be more excited to ride him at the Olympics.”
Eventing is held from July 28-31.
PORT PERRY -- Port Perry’s Michele Mueller will make her first trip to the Olympics just
over a year before she will celebrate her 50th birthday.
Although far from a typical route to the world’s premier sporting stage for most who
attend, the sport of equestrian allows for such dreams to come true.
It’s the horse, after all, who is more of the athlete,
although it requires a special relationship between
the two to get the job
done and, of course, a
great deal of expertise
from the rider.
For Mueller, who rode
her first horse at the
age of five but didn’t
get into the sport of
eventing until her mid-
30s, she knew she had
hooked up with a spe-
cial horse when she
first competed with
Amistad in 2005.
Seven years later, the two will ride together against
the world’s best from July 28-31 at Greenwich Park as
part of the London 2012 Games.
“He just kept answering the questions, mov-
ing up to the next level, moving up to the next level and not batting an eye,” Mueller says of
Amistad, whom she keeps at her Cedar Valley Stables in Port Perry. “Then it sort of got into
the back of my head that maybe this (the Olympics) is a possibility.”
The two rose up through the ranks to the highest four-star level of competition, but an
injury to Amistad threatened the Olympic dream. Thankfully he started this season healthy
and has stayed that way.
Eventing involves three different disciplines: dressage, cross country and show jumping.
Mueller says the final event, the show jumping, will be Amistad’s biggest challenge at the
Games.
“His strengths are more his dressage and his cross country,” she says. “He is quite the
cross-country machine. I guess our weakest phase would be our stadium, although he is
not bad at it.”
Mueller is one of two from Durham Region on the five-person Canadian eventing team,
along with Uxbridge’s Jessica Phoenix, who will ride Exponential.
Being named to the team was a memorable moment for both, of course, but more of a sur-
prise to Mueller than for Phoenix, who was Canada’s 2011 Equestrian of the Year.
“I bawled, I did, I cried,” admits the 48-year-old Mueller of learning the news at the Bro-
mont Horse Trials in Quebec. “It was like, ‘Oh my gosh’. You try to contain yourself a bit, but
you just want to jump up and down and go crazy. I couldn’t help it, I got all teary-eyed.”

OSHAWA -- Nothing was going to get in the
way of Kristina Vaculik’s Olympic dream this
time around.
The 20-year-old Whitby gymnast was a
strong candidate to compete at the Beijing
Games four years ago, but the fact Canada
failed to qualify a full team combined with
an elbow injury derailed her chances.
After a year-long recovery from surgery,
though, Vaculik went
right back at it, and now
heads into the London
Games as the leading
member of Canada’s five-
member artistic gymnas-
tics team.
The Olympics were
so important to her, in
fact, that Vaculik took
a year off from a schol-
arship to Stanford Uni-
versity, returned to train
with coach Elena Davy-
dova at Oshawa’s Gemi-
ni Gymnastics and made
sure her life-long dream
became a reality.
“It’s just an incredible feeling,” Vaculik said
when she was officially named to the team at
a selection meet in Quebec in late-June. “I’ve
wanted to go to the Olympics for a long time.
Now I’m just going to be working hard every
day, marking down the time to the Olym-
pics and being really excited about what I’m
doing.”
Vaculik played an integral role in earning
Canada’s its full team Olympic berth since
2004, meaning that five athletes would go to
London as opposed to two in Beijing.
She then proceeded to win her third
national all-around championship in Regi-
na and top the field of 11 finalists during the
selection meet in Quebec. Also qualifying for
Canada’s team were Victoria Moors of Cam-
bridge, Ont., Brittany Rogers of Coquitlam,
B.C., Dominique Pegg of Sarnia, Ont. and
Ellie Black of Halifax.
Vaculik will be joined in London by Davy-
dova, who won the all-
around Olympic gold
medal for the Soviet Union
in 1980 and is part of Cana-
da’s coaching staff.
“I’m just very happy for
Kristina because it’s been
a long road and last time
around she was very, very
close and then she didn’t get
to go,” said Davydova. “She
stayed in and even though
she went to university for a
scholarship, she came back
to fulfil the goal. So I would
be first of all happy for Kris-
tina that she stayed with the
sport. It’s pretty demanding.”
Vaculik got a small taste of the Olympic-
like atmosphere at the 2011 Pan American
Games in Mexico, where Canada placed sec-
ond as a team and she came home with two
individual medals as well, including the all
around bronze.
The qualification round for the Canadian
women in London begins on July 29, with
the medals being awarded the next day.

WHITBY -- Kelita Zupancic’s resolve to become an Olympian has been so strong for so
long it should come as little surprise she will accomplish that dream in London at the age
of 22.
The Whitby native followed the path of her father, Ed, a fourth degree black belt and for-
mer national judo champ, joined the Formokan Judo Club in Oshawa at the age of five, and
was soon dominating competitors several years older than she was, including boys.
At six, she drew a picture of herself for school standing on an Olympic podium and at
nine she watched Nicolas Gill win a silver medal at the 2000 Sydney Games, cementing her
notion that she would one day get there herself.
“At that point I realized, you know what, I’m doing judo and it’s pos-
sible for a Canadian to make the final at the Games. Right there,
I said, ‘I’m going for it. I’m going for the Olympics’,” she said.
“That was definitely a defining moment in my life when I real-
ized the Olympics Games and winning a gold medal is pos-
sible for a Canadian in the sport of judo.”
Gill, a four-time Olympian who also won bronze at
Barcelona in 1992, is now one of her coaches in Mon-
treal, where Zupancic trains with the rest of the
national team. Her Olympic goal was fast-tracked
by a recent year away in Japan, where she learned
from, and competed against, the very best the sport
has to offer.
“My biggest sacrifice was definitely moving to
Japan for the year,” she said. “I left my family,
friends, my culture ... I went there for a year and
trained my guts out.”
Zupancic locked up her Olympic berth by win-
ning a bronze medal at the Pan-American Judo
Championships in April, giving her enough points
over the past two years to be among the top 14
women in the world in the under 70-kilogram weight
class.
She has represented Canada at two world champion-
ships (2010 in Tokyo and 2011 in Paris) and finished fifth
at the 2011 Pan American Games in Mexico. A three-time
Canadian senior champion in 2007, 2009 and 2010, Zupan-
cic dominated the junior national scene, winning four consec-
utive titles from 2006 through to 2009.
Zupancic will compete in the women’s under-70-kilogram division
on Wednesday Aug. 1 beginning at 4:30 a.m. (ET). The gold medal match
is scheduled for 11 a.m.

Yarrr ninth
at provincials
DURHAM -- For the second year in a row
Durham Region was represented by the com-
petitive touring team known as Yarrr at the
2012 Ontario Ultimate Championships (also
known as Ultimate Frisbee) in North Bay.
The mixed team finished ninth, needing
a top-five finish to qualify for the Canadian
Ultimate Championships in Victoria, B.C. in
August.
Ultimate continues to be a quickly grow-
ing sport, both across North America and
here in Durham Region, where the Durham
Ultimate Club now boasts over 600 mem-
bers. The sport is unique in its ability to pro-
vide a competitive environment for a co-ed
sport (there are open, women’s and mixed
leagues, with mixed leagues tending to have
the highest participation). The sport also for-
goes formal referees and instead relies heav-
ily on sportsmanship and honesty, with line
observers being used at the highest competi-
tive levels.
This is Yarrr’s fourth season as a team,
though co-captain Mike Millar points out
that, “The first couple of seasons were more
about getting a group of people out to have
fun at tournaments. Last year was our first
year trying to blend that sense of enjoyment
while also focusing on competitive goals.”
In 2011 Yarrr set milestones by winning
the Oktoberfest and London Calling tourna-
ments, as well as victories over some of Can-
ada’s best competition. The team has also
offered up a few All-Star Selections in the
Toronto Ultimate Club’s Competitive Divi-
sion.
Yarrr kicked off the 2012 season with a
runner-up placing at Guelph’s Soggy Bot-
tom Bowl, and more recently competed in
Montreal’s Comedy of Errors Tournaments,
where they faced last year’s Canadian Cham-
pionship runner-up Odessey from Quebec.
As they stand now, Yarrr is a collection of
elite veterans mixed with a handful of mem-
bers who have converted to the sport in
recent years.

COVENTRY, ENGLAND – The Olympics
may be over just as soon as they had
begun for Ajax’s Candace Chapman.
Chapman, a veteran defender with 113
international caps and previous Olym-
pic experience, left late in the opening
game for Canada’s women’s soccer team
Wednesday at City of Coventry Stadium,
a 2-1 loss to Japan.
Afterward, instead of going through
the mixed media zone as all players are
asked to do, Chapman was seen leaving
on crutches with her right calf taped.
Canadian head coach John Herdman
was predictably short on details in the
post-game press conference.
“It’s something I’m not fully aware
of what the injury is,” he said. “I mean
she was rushed straight down the tun-
nel. I was just hoping she was going to
come back on but obviously she didn’t,
so whether she can return to the pitch,
we’ll find out in the next couple of hours
and we’ll let you know.”
It was an innocent enough looking
play, as Chapman appeared to twist and
fall on her own, but she was in obvious
agony and unable to put any weight on
her right leg as she left.
She had certainly been put through
a rigorous test up to that point, as the
potent Japanese squad, reigning 2011
World Cup champs, dominated the
first half and appeared on their way to a
blowout victory.
To Canada’s credit, however, a bril-
liant defensive play by Lauren Sessel-
mann five minutes into the second half
prevented a 3-0 deficit and sparked the
team to a strong finish.
With star player and captain Chris-
tine Sinclair kept mostly in check, it
was Ancaster’s Melissa Tancredi who
stepped up and provided the offence,
converting a pretty feed from Rhian
Wilkinson into a goal nearing the game’s
55th minute.
When asked afterward if she was
inspired by Sesselmann’s play, which
saw her rob Japan’s Yuki Ogimi with the
ball part way over the line, Tancredi was
quick to reply.
“Absolutely,” she said. “I think when
your defence is working that hard, you
kind of want to relieve the pressure off
them but somehow get something going
for us offensively and I think we did
that.”
Unfortunately for Canada, it wasn’t
quite enough, as the Japanese not only
held on, but in fact still had the better of
the scoring chances for the duration.
“Listen, we knew it was going to be a
tough game tonight,” said Herdman.
“They’re the world champions for a rea-
son.
“It’s the first game of the tournament,”
he added. “We have another five to go
for us, hopefully, and we learned some
lessons tonight.”
Herdman’s optimism isn’t totally
unfounded, as Canada is still well with-
in reach of a quarter-final berth, given
that eight of the 12 teams will advance.
The next game, however, is a virtual
must win for the Canadians, ranked sev-
enth in the world and playing against
No. 61 South Africa on Saturday, back at
Coventry Stadium at 9:45 a.m. (ET)
The final game of Group F play is
against No. 4-ranked Sweden, Tuesday,
July 31 at St. James’ Park in Newcastle
(9:30 a.m.).
There is no Olympic action Thursday
and only archery gets underway Friday,
prior to the 4 p.m. opening ceremonies.
The Games get underway in full
force Saturday with 18 sports featured,
including the start of equestrian, where
Uxbridge’s Jessica Phoenix and Port
Perry’s Michele Mueller will make their
Olympic debuts.

Scobie on par with best
Brad Kelly

AJAX -- Matthew Scobie
did better than just sur-
vive one of the toughest
tests of golf for a junior.
The Ajax resident made
the trek to New Hampshire
to compete in the 65th US
junior amateur champi-
onship, finishing tied for
third after advancing all
the way to the semifinals,
falling to a previous cham-
pion in match play. Not
too bad a result, consid-
ering 3,000 young golfers
try to qualify for the event
annually.
“To finish tied for third,
losing in the semis, it’s a
huge accomplishment,”
Scobie acknowledged on
Monday, already back
at Deer Creek Acade-
my working on his game.
“Right after, certainly
there was a bit of disap-
pointment replaying what
I could have done bet-
ter. But right now there is
nothing but positives to be
looked at and drawn upon
from the week.”
It was a taxing week
of golf for the Ajax High
School graduate, who has
a verbal commitment to
attend Houston Universi-
ty on a golf scholarship in
the fall of 2013.
The US Amateur opened
last Monday and Tuesday
with two rounds of stroke
play, as Scobie fired an
opening day round of 77,
followed by a 75 to just
squeak past the cutline
by one stroke, included
among the top 64 to move
on to match play. Scobie
made quite a charge in the
second round, sitting six
over par through six holes,
but after parring seven
through nine, he covered
the back in three under
par to get through.
Seeded 60th based on the
opening two days, in the
round of 64 on Wednes-
day he took out the fifth
seed, Carter Jenkins of
North Carolina, winning
the match one-up. In the
round of 32 on Thursday
morning, he beat Cam-
eron Champ of Califor-
nia one-up, followed by
an afternoon win over Tae
Wan Lee of Korea three-
and-1 in the round of 16.
In the quarter-finals on
Friday morning, he out-
lasted Maverick McNealy
of California, winning on
the second playoff hole
after being up by four
through eight holes and
three through 15. The
incredible run came to
an end against Jim Liu,
the 2010 champion, in the
afternoon semifinals, fall-
ing three-and-one.
In the match play rounds,
he took his game to anoth-
er level.
“I’d already dealt with as
much adversity that could
be thrown at me, so taking
that into match play, I just
knew I had gone through
the adversity, had bat-
tled, and I could take that
through to match play,” he
said.
Carrying his own bag
until the quarter-finals,
Scobie was forced to enlist
the help of a local caddy
after acquiring blisters on
his feet, the result of play-
ing seven rounds of golf
over a five-day period.
“It was a common sense
thing to do,” said Scobie. “I
liked doing my own thing,
playing my own game
and being responsible
for every part of my own
game when I was carrying
my own bag.”
Sunday he flies out to
Nova Scotia to compete
in the Canadian junior
championships that get
underway Tuesday. That
format consists of stroke
play throughout the tour-
nament.

Durham Synchro
cleans up at Trillium
12 and
under
teams
are tops
LONDON -- The University
of Western Ontario, West-
ern Student Recreation
Centre was the site for the
2012 Trillium 12 and under
open championship in
London.
Hosted by London Syn-
chro, this competition is
for provincial swimmers
under the age of 12 com-
peting in all categories of
synchronized swimming
from figures to team rou-
tine championships. Sev-
eral swimmers from Dur-
ham Synchro qualified for
this competition and four
of DSC’s youngest athletes
swam solos for the first
time during this competi-
tive season. Coaches Hol-
ley Lundmark (11-12 pro-
vincial team) and Cathy
Veldhoen-Smith (10 and
under provincial team)
groomed their swimmers
for this important end of
synchro season competi-
tion.
Four swimmers from
DSC’s 10 and under team
(coach Veldhoen-Smith)
participated in this meet.
The first day of compe-
tition saw these swim-
mers participate in figures.
Megan Biss swam away
with a first-place finish in
this event followed by her
teammates Megan Gomes
(59), Amy Nickerson (70)
and Tara Goettisheim (72).
In the 10 and under solo
technical final champion-
ships, these competitors
swam with great compo-
sure. Once again appearing
on the podium was Megan
Biss with a bronze-med-
al finish for her solo. Per-
forming solos for the first
time, the following 10 and
under swimmers received
respectable results: Megan
Gomes (32), Amy Nick-
erson (34) and Tara Got-
tisheim (37).
There was no surprise
when Madeleine MacNeil
captured another gold in
the 12 and under figures
event. Following MacNeil
were Tianna Henry (15),
Erin Clark (21), Megan Biss
(23), Rachel Lall (27), Ali-
cia Lopers (29), Emily Bar-
ton (38) and Sarah Bianco
(77). In the 12 and under
solo finals championship,
Madeleine MacNeil swam
away with bronze with her
energetic and gracefully
choreographed routine.
Duet team Erin Clark and
Tianna Henry continued
the DSC presence on the
podium with their sixth-
place finish in the 12 and
under duet finals champi-
onship. Duet team Emily
Barton and Alicia Lopers
were just shy of the podium
with their ninth-place fin-
ish in this division. Final-
ly, team members left the
competition with bronze
medals around their necks
for their third-place finish
in the 12 and under team
finals championship.
