Last week, 17 people tried to drop off cats in just one day, adding to the crowd of more than 150 cats currently at the Whitby facility. “We are jammed to the rafters,” says shelter president Karin Martens. “There are no cages left. People are coming in droves to drop off their cats and we just can’t take them because we have no room.” In response to this ongoing issue, the Humane Society has teamed up with local veterinarians to offer a low-cost cat spay-neuter assistance program for qualified applicants. Using eligibility criteria from the Ontario Vet- erinary Medical Association’s Farley Founda- tion, the program is open to seniors receiving the Federal Guaranteed Income Supplement, disabled individuals receiving the Ontario Dis- ability Support Payment or the Canada Pen- sion Plan Disability Payment, women at risk of abuse entering registered women’s shelters, cats owned by senior care facilities in Ontario, and individuals receiving financial assistance through the Ontario Works program. “What we would like to see is the client come to the Humane Society who will deal with them respectfully and privately to confirm their eli- gibility,” says Dr. Susan Dorland of the Oshawa Animal Hospital. “Then, they will issue a voucher to the appli- cant who has 60 days to call any of the animal clinics in Durham to set up an appointment and have their cat spayed for $100 or neutered for $80.” While the price of the surgery varies from clinic to clinic, most spay and neuter proce- dures cost cat owners between $300 to $500. “It’s very significant but we also have torecog- nize that these people have significant (finan- cial) constraints, so we’re willing to subsidize the program,” Dr. Dorland explains. “This is what we do every day so who else is in a better position to do this?” The new program, which includes the partic- ipation of 42 veterinary practices across Dur- ham, was inspired by a similar initiative devel- oped in the Niagara Region. In its first year, that program resulted in the spaying or neutering of more than 500 cats, dramatically reducing the feral cat population and euthanasia of unwant- ed cats. Dr. Mark Coleman of Taunton Road Animal Hospital in Oshawa says the goal is also to offer people the opportunity to do what’s right for their pets, despite their financial circumstanc- es. “These cats that come through the clinic are going to be treated exactly the same as people who are paying full price for the services,” he says. “If there are complications after the proce- dure, we’re going to deal with them just like we deal with complications at our own practice. They will be dealt with the same care and com- passion. There will be no difference.” The low-cost cat spay and neuter program in Durham was launched Aug. 2. Ms. Martens hopes that in addition to reduc- ing the feral cat population in the region, reliev- ing some of the pressure on shelter staff, it will also help spread awareness about the impor- tance of spaying and neutering cats. “People want to be responsible pet owners but sometimes it’s cost-prohibitive to them so I think the program is going to be a big help,” she says. “It’s a phenomenal program and I’m so pleased all the veterinarians have come for- ward to be a part of it.” Reporter Parvaneh Pessian covers the town of Whitby for Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division Low-cost cat spay and neuter program comes to Durham FAST FACTS Are you eligible for the low-cost spay/neuter program? Under the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association’s Farley Foundation eligibility criteria, pet owners must fall into one of the four categories: • Seniors receiving the Federal Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) • Disabled individuals receiving the Ontario Disabil- ity Support Payment (ODSP) or the Canada Pension Plan Disability Payment (CPP Disability) • Participants of OVMA’s SafePet Program or women at risk of abuse who are entering a registered women’s shelter in Ontario • Pets in care facilities for seniors such as supportive housing, retirement homes or long-term care homes in Ontario • Individuals receiving financial assistance through the Ontario Works program JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND WHITBY -- Karen Martens holds kittens at the Humane Society of Durham Region, which is teaming up with local veterinarians to encourage more people to spay or neuter their cats by providing vouchers to reduce the price of the procedures. > ‘‘These cats that come through the clinic are going to be treated exactly the same as people who are paying full price for the services.’ Dr. Mark Coleman, Taunton Road Animal Hospital Follow your Ontario Olympians at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

PICKERING -- A man was taken to hospital with serious injuries after being clubbed and stabbed in a Pickering park Thursday evening. Durham police have arrested two suspects in the attack, which took place at 7:20 p.m. in Princess of Wales Park off Valley Farm Road. Police said the victim and his girlfriend were walking through a parking lot at the Pickering Recreation Complex when he became embroiled in an argument with a man on a bicycle. As the 19-year-old victim and his girlfriend entered the park, they were accosted by sever- al men. During the attack the man was beaten with several items, including a piece of a tree trunk, and stabbed in the arm with scissors, police said. Cops quickly rounded up two suspects. The victim was treated at hospital. Charged with assault with a weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon are Roma- ro Cameron, 18, of Arfield Avenue, Ajax, and a 17-year-old Pickering youth whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. peter redman photo Thomas the tortoise pays a visit to Claremont kids PICKERING -- Brooke Webster, 8, stroked Thomas the tortoise at the Zoo to You show, part of the Claremont Lions fund- raising barbecue Aug. 4.

TORONTO -- Two Ajax men face 24 charg- es after a Scarborough robbery led to a police chase, small crash and the seizure of a gun. Police say two gun-wielding men robbed a 25-year-old man of his phone and wal- let at an address on Eglinton Avenue East near Birchmount Road around 3:20 p.m. Thursday. They say the men fled in a maroon Ford Taurus, which police found two kilometres away near Birchmount and McGregor roads. One man ran away from the vehicle, was chased by police, dropped a knapsack containing a loaded .38 calibre handgun and was arrested. The man who remained in the car hit a light pole on Howden Road and was arrested. Kenneth Muir, 25, faces robbery and fire- arm charges. Kyle Stevens, 22, faces simi- lar charges, along with dangerous opera- tion of a motor vehicle. -- Torstar News Services ACADEMY OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING Group Discounts Available (for 3 or more) Mini Package Available An Installment Payment Plan ForYour Convenience Beginner Driver Education Course Provider CALL NOW, SPACE IS LIMITED HOURS: 7 DAYS A WEEK, 10 AM -10 PM PETER’S •20 hours in classroom instruction •10 private in-car lessons on automatic •FREE pick-up at home •Courses start every week •Defensive driving instruction Learn Life Saving Skills •Skid Control Evasive Maneuvers •BrakingTechniques •FREE progress report card •EARLIER ROAD TEST TRAIN WITH THE PROFESSIONALS! 965 Dundas St.W.

I’m not talking about that first day at university that managing editor Mike Johnston is wrestling with. Mike will soon find out the front door is on a two-way hinge and that his son will like- ly move in, and out, and in again several times. This move is different. It’s for good. When daughter number one and her fiancé take posses- sion of their first home this week it will be a matter of days before her room empties, cupboard space opens up and the sound of their puppy scampering down the stairs in the morning turns to silence. The overflowing coat closet that we’ve wrestled with is left with but a few dangling hangers and a half dozen pairs of men’s running shoes, the space turned over to my son. Last night as I was about to check my e-mail after a weekend away, it dawned on me that it was perhaps the last evening she and I would have to sit in her room, puppy sprawled on the bed, and chat just the two of us before she embarks on this new journey. So we sat. We talked. I didn’t cry (but I wanted to). Because she’s excited, I’m excited. But not so far below the sur- face there’s a weepy puddle of mush waiting to bust out. With every dish she buys or chair she paints a little voice inside me wants to scream ‘don’t go’! But it’s time. When I go home tonight I will dig into a drawer and pull out a tiny golden frame I’ve been holding onto for 23 years. Tucked between the glass is a wilted dandelion, picked by a little girl as she walked home from school, a gift for her mom. Fate seems to be shining on me this week; perhaps it knows I need to be eased into this emptying of the nest. As I write this daughter number two is in transit, Ottawa apart- ment emptied and bound for mom and dad’s house, a brief stop- over as she prepares for a new career in Toronto. It will be only weeks before she too moves on to her next home, but for now the bedrooms are full, the sink full of dirty dishes, the laundry overflowing and the sound deafening. I am happy. -- Joanne Burghardt is editor-in-chief of Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region division Who wasn’t moved by the story of Helene Campbell, the young Ottawa woman who received a double lung transplant in April of this year, after she took to Twitter to share her story and recruited some A-list celebrity friends to help raise awareness of organ donation? The young woman’s fearless and inspir- ing story had a happy ending and served to raise awareness of the importance of organ donations in Ontario. She has since mingled with the likes of Justin Bieber and Ellen DeGeneres, met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and continues to encour- age more people to register for organ donation. Here at home, and particularly in Ajax and Pickering, the rate of registered organ donors is extremely low in comparison to other Ontario communities, with reg- istration rates of only 15 per cent. Even the town of Whitby, which has Durham’s highest registration at 30 per cent (with 26 per cent of Oshawa and Bowmanville residents registered), is still considerably below that of other communities. A simple visit and a few clicks of your computer mouse are all that it takes to officially become an organ donor. It’s that easy. Ajax resident Debbie Bredin’s two chil- dren are living examples of the benefits of organ donation. Each received transplant- ed hearts when they were born with hyp- oplastic left heart syndrome and now live happy, active and dynamic lives. The alternatives when they were born were extremely limited and offered few long-term guarantees to the Bredin chil- dren or their family. Transplant in the case of Kailyn and Ayden (now 15 and 11) was the best available solution. The intervening years have clearly illus- trated that it was also the correct one. But there are others like Kailyn and Ayden who remain on waiting lists for necessary organs. Residents across Durham Region must consider the Bredins, the Helene Camp- bells and the many others who struggle with chronic disease and who require a transplant to enjoy a good quality of life. They must consider registering as organ donors to ease the burden and create real opportunities for healthy, productive lives to unfold. Do your part today. Visit online at www. beadonor.ca for more information and to learn how you can be a donor. All it takes is a few minutes and a few clicks to offer someone else a better chance at life. Is it just me or has it been some time since you heard the word ‘gumption’ employed to describe someone? It’s a strange word, I’ll admit. At first blush saying some- one has ‘gumption’ sounds more like we’re talking about some poor unfortunate with hugely swollen lower legs or a distended bowel, than an individual imbued with great courage or tenacity. Likewise are ‘pluck’, ‘spirited’ and ‘sassy’ more and more difficult to come by these days. Offhand I can’t recall the last time I, or anyone still breathing, used any of these. But they’re good words, all of them, and they stand for good things; bravery, char- acter, stick-to-itiveness. And I dearly hope that the fact that we don’t hear of these words much anymore isn’t an indication that we’re now in shorter sup- ply of what they represent. Now, more than ever, do we need people with pluck, gumption, spirit and sass. In the old days pluck and gumption were commonplace. Everybody had pluck and gumption. If you didn’t, you probably didn’t live long. It was standard equipment in a time when you could die just walking to school and a jaunt into town for a bolt of calico and a few nostrums put you at risk of being scalped, robbed, eaten or d) All of the above. Growing up in the turn of the century was sort of like living in Australia ... everything could kill you. My fear, in this push-button age, is that we have gotten ‘soft’. That was another word they used to use a lot back then. Usually the first people to die on the trail or fall behind and get eaten by pumas and the like were those who had lost their gumption and gotten ‘soft’. If you don’t consider yourself soft, think of this; back then most people knew how to bake their own bread and build their own house. How many of us these days even know how to set the clock on our microwave? Let’s face it. Most of us are puma bait. I know that nowadays there are words in use that would like to take the place of gumption and pluck. But they’re not the same. Most of the time they refer in some way to male genitalia. We say a brave individual has cojones or balls or that someone who isn’t particularly courageous had better ‘grow a pair’. The obvious flaw here is there is a rather obvious gender bias. In the old days a gal who had gumption or pluck was considered a real catch. I’m not certain I’d like to date a woman who had balls, cojones or was at all interest- ed in growing a pair. For the same reason, the words ‘sand’ and ‘grit’ quickly fell out of favour in pioneer times. All well and good for a fellow to possess a cer- tain amount of those attributes. But again, a woman who came to be chiefly known for her sand and/or grit was more likely to be surreptitiously handed a salve of some kind than to be accorded the same respect as her male coun- terpart. Unfair, I know, but nonetheless true. Which is precisely why gumption and pluck need to make a comeback. They are equal opportunity epithets. Most of us having grown soft however, baby steps are in order. Too much pluck, too fast, is a reci- pe for disaster. Still, someone has to get the ball rolling, so today, I’m going to exhibit gumption and pluck by cooking my own dinner. OK ... by heating up my own din- ner ... baby steps, remember.

Look forthelinkat 2012 Take extra care when using alternative cooking and lighting: fire department PICKERING -- Fire officials are warn- ing residents to be careful when using alternate sources of lighting and cook- ing during power outages. Pickering Fire Services is caution- ing residents that electrically connect- ed smoke alarms and carbon monox- ide alarms that do not contain a battery backup will not work when the power is out. “Homeowners should ensure they also have battery-operated smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms to provide early warning of fire and carbon monox- ide,” said Steve Fowlds, fire prevention officer for the City of Pickering. “During a power outage, families should make sure electric stove ele- ments and small appliances are off, or unplugged to prevent fires from starting when the electricity is restored.” Other tips for power outages include using flashlights or battery-operated lanterns instead of candles or hurricane lamps. If candles are used, place them in a secure container and make sure they are covered by a glass chimney. Have a home escape plan in place, everyone should know how to get out of the house immediately, and safely, if there is a fire. It is recommended that homes have at least one phone that doesn’t require electricity to operate, as cordless phones will not work when the power is out. Do not bring propane or charcoal bar- becues inside, they are for outdoor use only. Only use portable space heaters designed for indoor use, and always fol- low the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation by opening a window slightly while the heater is in use. Only purchase generators with rec- ognized approval labels. Make sure the unit has proper connection receptacles and circuit breakers. Portable generators should only be used outdoors, and located to ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the home. Always allow the generator to cool before refuelling and refuel the generator outside, following the manu- facturer’s instructions. Store fuel for the generator in approved containers out- side the home. The Ontario Fire Code requires smoke alarms to be installed on every level of a home and outside all sleeping areas. This includes cottages, cabins and rec- reational vehicles. Failure to comply can result in a ticket of $235 or a fine of up to $50,000.

LiveChatinformation at Former Pickering resident, Garnier grad sets personal best at Olympics Brian Mcnair bmcnair@durhamregion.com LONDON, ENGLAND -- There may not have been any runners wearing Canada’s colours in the women’s Olympic marathon race Sunday, but there was one among the 118 competitors whose heart still bleeds red and white. It was Canada, after all, that accept- ed Diane Nukuri as a refuge from war- torn Burundi 11 years ago, which in turn opened up so many doors for the now 27 year old. Ms. Nukuri came to Ottawa for the 2001 Francophone Games, and stayed, moving in with a cousin in Pickering and attending Ecole Secondaire Catholique St. Charles- Garnier in Whitby. And so, while she is representing Burun- di at these Games, and even carried the flag for its six competitors through the opening ceremonies, she admitted after finishing 31st in Sunday’s race that she likely would not have been there if not for Canada. “Canada took me in and I’m so thankful,” said Ms. Nukuri, who ended up at the Uni- versity of Iowa on scholarship, has since married and still lives in Iowa. “I was sup- posed to return to Canada and maybe represent Canada, but things just worked out totally different. I never expected to go back and run for Burundi, but I’m so thankful that Canada gave me the oppor- tunity to go to school, and get residence and get a scholarship in the U.S.” This is not the first Olympic experience for Ms. Nukuri, who remarkably ran for Burundi as a 15 year old at the 2000 Syd- ney Games, where she finished 14th in the 5,000-metre run. But soon after, she escaped a bloody civil war that had claimed the life of her father, settled in Durham Region and went to Garnier, for which she won an OFSAA title in the 5,000m in 2002. A relative newcomer to the marathon, Ms. Nukuri ran a personal best time of 2:30:13 Sunday -- which also set a Burun- di national record -- and appeared barely winded afterward. “I feel good,” she said smiling, while many others collapsed around her. “I’ve been having issues with my hip, but I think I ran the best race by almost four minutes. “I think it’s because I ran really smart, a little conservative at first,” explained Ms. Nukuri, who was 64th through five kilome- tres and moved steadily up from there. “It’s easier to pass people than being passed. I don’t think anyone actually passed me from after halfway.” The race, which started and ended at The Mall, one of London’s most famous streets, featured both brilliant sunshine and rain, and was wet at the end when Ethiopia’s Tiki Gelana crossed first in an Olympic record time of 2:23:07. Ms. Nukuri, who speaks both English and French, said she was proud to repre- sent her native country once again, and hopes to do so at least one more time, at the Rio 2016 Games. “I’m only 27 and I can’t wait for the next one. This is only my fourth marathon, and the last one I broke my toe in New York, so this is really only my third marathon,” she said. “It was amazing to be back after 12 years and represent Burundi,” she continued. “I left because of the civil war, it wasn’t like I didn’t love my country. I wanted to get an opportunity to go to school and continue running. “Canada is the reason why I’m here real- ly because if it didn’t work out that way I’d probably never have gone to school. I love my country, but Canada is still my home as well.” Brian McNair is in London covering the Olympics for the Metroland Media Group Burundi marathoner bleeds red and white Brian Mcnair / Metroland LONDON, ENGLAND -- Diane Nukuri, who spent three years living in Pickering and went to Whitby’s Ecole Charles Garnier for high school, was all smiles after finishing in 31st place and setting a new national record for her native Burundi in the women’s marathon at the London 2012 Olympics. Moya dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It was a bittersweet day for family and friends who gathered to cheer on Pickering Olympian Nikkita Holder after the hurdler failed to qualify for the race finals. More than 50 people were on hand at Bol- lock’s Pub in Pickering to cheer on the hur- dler, who was competing in the 100m hurdle semifinals on Aug. 7. “It’s just an exciting day for us, for the family and especially for Nikkita, what she worked so hard for is now coming to pass,” said her father, Lincoln Colaire. “Now is her moment to shine.” The event was organized by Heather Phipps, who’s been best friends with Ms. Holder since Grade 6 and will be maid of honour at her upcoming wedding to Cana- dian sprinter Justyn Warner. “I haven’t slept in three days,” Ms. Phipps said of watching her best friend compete on the world stage. “I was so nervous about today, but she has so much grace in the sport. She never com- plains. We grew up together but in many ways she’s outgrown me, now she’s some- one I look up to.” The tension was high at the pub as Ms. Holder’s race time neared, and the gath- ered crowd let out an ear-splitting cheer when she first came on the screen. A false start that resulted in the disqualification of French hurdler Reina-Flor Okori left many clutching their chests and laughing in ner- vous relief. In the end, Ms. Holder crossed the finish line sixth with a time of 12.93 sec- onds. Sadly, not fast enough to make it to the final race. Despite the setback, Ms. Holder’s friends and family gave a big cheer for the rookie Olympian, proud of everything she’s accom- plished so far. “I’m so proud of her, she worked so hard,” Ms. Phipps said, noting she “can’t wait” for the next summer games, which will be held in Rio in 2016. Ms. Holder’s younger brother Ashton is confident his sister will continue towards her goal, noting watching her train has taught him to “never give up.” Mr. Colaire is also confident in his daugh- ter’s bright future. “I’m still proud, she did an excellent job and just to get to the Olympics is a huge accomplishment,” he said. “I’d just tell her to keep her head up, and we’ll see you in Rio.” Family gathers to cheer on Pickering Olympian SaBrina ByrneS / Metroland PICKERING -- Kuldip Mudhar signed a banner for Nikkita Holder, who was competing in the semifinals of the 100m hurdles at the 2012 London Olympics Aug. 7.

As it was, there was just the finish line, and Pickering’s Kerri-Ann Mitchell didn’t quite reach it in time to advance to Sat- urday’s semifinals at the 2012 Olympic Games. In fact, her time of 11.49 was well short of where it needed to be -- she was sixth in a heat that advanced three and 41st overall -- and also shy of her personal best of 11.32, something she had hoped to better. Nevertheless, Mitchell was as happy and bubbly as could be afterward, con- tent in the knowledge that’s she a relative newcomer to the sprint, having converted less than two years ago from long jump, and confident there’s plenty of room for growth. “This is definitely the beginning for me, so I’m really excited,” said Mitchell, who returned to athletics two years ago after a few years away. “I’m getting my mind all set for worlds and 2016 (Rio Olympics), and all these things to come because it’s just com- ing together for me after taking a couple of years off. I’m excited.” Mitchell, a Pine Ridge Secondary School grad, completed an athletic scholarship at the University of Arkansas and earned her masters degree from the University of Oklahoma prior to settling into a career in the United States. However, about two years ago she got the itch to compete again, packed up and headed home. She figures she still has plenty of gas in the tank, and much more to learn. “Oh definitely, definitely,” she said when asked if she truly believed she could reach the Olympics again at 33. “People are always amazed when I tell them my age, because I don’t look it and then I guess because I have these new legs that can sprint instead of jump. So, yeah, I’m confi- dent. “It’s been just over a year now that I’ve focused on sprint,” she continued. “I still have some jumper moves out there that don’t belong on any straightaway. I have a lot of things to clean up and polish and that can drop two-, four-, five-tenths of a sec- ond, so I’m there, just technically I’m hold- ing myself back.” Mitchell will now take in the rest of Games, although she still has a few plans, including working with her coach, Pick- ering’s Anthony McCleary, and perhaps indulging herself a bit. Pickering’s Nikkita Holder had higher expectations BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com LONDON, ENGLAND -- Nikkita Hold- er has no interest in looking four years down the road right now. While the 25-year-old Pickering hur- dler may well be at her peak at that time, when the 2016 Olympic Games will be held in Rio de Janeiro, she had bigger plans for herself at these partic- ular Games in London. Unfortunately for her, the Games ended in the semifinals rather than the final as she had hoped. Canada did send two hurdlers to the eight-person final Tuesday before some 80,000 fans at the Olympic Sta- dium, but it was Markham’s Phylicia George and London’s Jessica Zelinka who advanced, ultimately finishing sixth and seventh in a blistering fast race. Holder was quite a bit shy of her personal best of 12.80, running 12.93, which was sixth best in her heat and 16th overall among the three semifi- nals. “It’s disappointed, but I mean any- thing can happen and clearly it didn’t happen for me today,” said Holder, whose smile from the night before, when she advanced through the pre- liminary round, was noticeably absent. “I waited forever and ever to get here and now I have to wait forever and ever again, so I guess it’s kind of a bit- tersweet moment.” Holder was critical of her start on Monday, but Tuesday she was more concerned with contact she said she had to deal with from Jamaica’s Sher- maine Williams in the lane beside her. “My start was great. The girl in lane three just kept hitting me and I couldn’t get away, so it obviously set me back,” she explained. “Everything felt right in that race. I just couldn’t get away from lane three. She kept hitting me. A year ago, I would have probably been thrown off way more than I was today.” Holder, a graduate of Dunbarton High School who earned a scholar- ship at the University of Illinois, is engaged to be married to Markham’s Justyn Warner, who also saw his Olym- pics come to an end in the semifinals in London, in the 100m dash. Both of them, and 24-year-old George for that matter, should be at their best come time for the Brazil Games, but Holder wasn’t eager to look that far down the road on Tuesday. “Yes and no,” she said when asked if she looked forward to the next Olym- pics. “I mean four years is so far away from now. Who knows what’s going to happen in four years? You never know. You kind of need to take it a day at a time.” George ran a personal best of 12.65 in both the semifinal and final, but was still .17 short of a medal and 0.3 back of winner Sally Pearson of Aus- tralia. Zelinka ran 12.66 in the semifinal and 12.69, both close to the personal best of 12.65 she had set earlier in the heptathlon, where she ultimately also placed seventh. >Olympics end in semis PHOTO BY SEAN KILPATRICK/CP LONDON -- Pickering’s Nikkita Holder clears a hurdle during the 100m hurdles semifinal on Tuesday at the Olympic Stadium in London.

This one will be with the Canadian U18 basketball team that will compete at the FIBA Americas championship in Gurabo, Puerto Rico from Aug. 15-19. The Cana- dian junior women’s national team will be looking to get a medal in this event for the fifth consecutive time. Campbell is a six-foot-two forward who will be on scholarship at Virginia Tech beginning in the fall after graduating from Pickering High School. She is one of 12 players named to the team after a training camp at Georgian College. The event serves as a qualifier for the 2013 FIBA world U19 championship for women, which will be held in Lithuania. For Canada to qualify, they will need to reach the semifinals in the FIBA Americas U18 championship. Canada has qualified for the last four FIBA world U19 champi- onships and is currently ranked fourth in the FIBA youth women’s world rankings. “We have a great representation of girls across the country, they went through a weekend of high intensity and effort and responded very well,” said head coach Andy Sparks. “We are looking forward to getting our execution down so that we are ready once the FIBA Americas U18 Cham- pionship for Women begins.” The team has great experience from five players who have represented Canada in international competitions before, includ- ing Campbell, who played in the 2011 FIBA U18 3on3, and 2011 Pan Am Games. Canada has been placed in Group B and will open the tournament against Brazil on Aug. 15, followed by Puerto Rico on Aug. 16 and Mexico on Aug. 17. The top two teams from Group A and Group B will advance to play for first through fourth places, while the No. 3- and No. 4-ranked teams play out for fifth through eighth places. The semifi- nals will be played on Aug. 18 and the gold medal game will be held on Aug. 19. > Taijah Campbell du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Au g u s t 8 , 2 0 1 2 14 AP Specializing in artisan cakes, cupcakes, and cookies baked from scratch using high-quality ingredients. 774 Liverpool Rd.

But with grocery store prices now rising faster than restaurant menu options, many people could be turning back to dining establishments for one or more daily meals. According to analysts, grocery stores tend to pass charges in food costs on to consumers faster than operators of restaurants, which keep key food item prices relatively steady. Factor in slight improvements to the economy, and restaurant dining could be popular once more. Individuals who live alone or retired couples could find it's more affordable to eat the majority of their meals outside of the home instead of stocking up on grocery items that could spoil before they are enjoyed. For those who do choose to dine out, follow these tips for even more savings. * Dine early. Live up to those early- bird stereotypes. Head to restaurants when they offer special discounted prices, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner. * Share a meal. Dine at establishments that don't charge for an extra plate. Order a meal (which tends to be an oversized portion anyway) and split it. * Clip coupons. Restaurants routinely offer coupons for "buy one, get one," and other deals. Scour advertisements for the restaurants you enjoy. * Curbside pickup. Instead of dining out and paying for a tip or items you don't need, consider curbside pickup and simply dine at home. * Just order appetizers. Sometimes a salad and a side item can be a filling meal -- and one that's less expensive. These tips can make dining out even more affordable for the average diner Dining Out Becomes a More Affordable Option DINING OUT ADVERTISING FEATURE In Ajax & Pickering Call Donna McNally at 905-683-5110 ext. 241 to advertise in the Dining Guide du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Au g u s t 8 , 2 0 1 2 15 AP ≠ 12th Annual August 19 8am to 4pm Bond and Center Streets.

Sponsored by LionsClubofNorth Oshawa andMotorCity CarClub AutofestChildren’sSoap Box Derby Gens sort out overage situation Schemitsch, Petgrave expected back but not Graves or Labardo Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- One overager down and a couple more to go. That’s the situation Oshawa Generals GM Jeff Twohey finds himself immersed in right now as he tries to piece together his club’s roster for the 2012-13 season, with specific attention paid to the club’s crowded stable of overage eligible players. The first card on that front was played Wednes- day morning with a deal that sent goaltender Kevin Bailie to the London Knights in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick. When the next card gets played is unknown. Twohey said on Thursday that defencemen Matt Petgrave and Geoff Schemitsch have indi- cated a willingness and desire to return to the club for their final year of eligibil- ity, so if indeed that is the case, it makes the GM’s job a little easier as the two should help anchor the blue-line in front the goaltend- ing tandem of Dan Altshuller and Ken Appleby. “I think it’s crucial to have Matt Petgrave and Geoff Schemitsch,” Twohey said. “We really need them back there and they’ve indicated they are keen to come back, which is good. “I think they’ve responded well to meeting (new head coach) D.J. (Smith) and I think for them it’s a great opportunity. They’ll put them- selves in position with a good year where they could get themselves a contract,” the general manager added. It’s up front where some decisions have to be made. With just one overage spot likely open and four players still on the roster that could fill it, the picture is a bit muddled. However, Twohey said that winger Josh Graves has been informed the club is looking to find a fit elsewhere and will trade him should the oppor- tunity arise, while centreman J.P Labardo is in a similar situation, though if a deal isn’t con- summated, Twohey said he would be welcomed back for a chance to compete for a job. “We will welcome (him) back to compete, but I think he would like to be settled somewhere and if we can we will,” Twohey said of Labardo, who has spent the past three seasons in Oshawa. “Otherwise we’ll give him a chance here.” In the likelihood he does get dealt, that leaves Emerson Clark and Scott Sabourin to fight it out for the vacancy. And while the team could start the campaign with four 1992-born players on the roster, that’s an unlikely scenario. “I could sit here and say everyone is on an equal fitting, but if you’re asking me realistically, I think those two are the leading candidates,” Twohey said of Clark and Sabourin. “I think in all likelihood one of them will be here. I don’t think both can be.” Meanwhile, with training camp set to open in about a month’s time, Twohey said he’ll continue to scour the market and see what’s available through trade, but doesn’t expect anything major to happen anytime soon. > du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Au g u s t 8 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP Business & Law Honours Business Administration Supply Chain & Logistics Accounting & Payroll Administration Paralegal (LSUC Accredited) Law Clerk Police Foundations Technology Mobile & Desktop Support Technician Video Game Design & Development Web Design & Development Network Engineer Network Specialist Oshawa Campus: 200 John St. W.
