Durham Regional Police are ask- ing for public assistance to help quell an increase in vandalism, graffiti and property damage incidents in south Pickering. The majority of the reported graffiti has been located on school properties, public fences and other private property locations. The culprits are using various colours of aerosol paints and markers that per- manently damage the targeted surfaces. Police are warning residents to take precautions to safeguard communities by locking doors and closing windows in parked vehicles, leave exterior lights on to illuminate homes and vehicles, be aware of unfamiliar people in your neighbourhood and report any suspi- cious people or activities to police and if you see vandalism occurring, contact police immediately. Anyone with information about the ongoing vandalism and graffiti is asked to contact Sgt. Soffie or Cst. Micallef at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2521. Anonymous tips can also be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.durhamregional- crimestoppers.ca. sabrina byrnes / metroland Joggers at sunset in Pickering PICKERING -- Joggers ran past the marina near Millennium Square in Pickering as the sun began to set on a warm summer’s day recently.

The university’s Centre for Evaluation and Survey Research is now hosting its second Durham Area Sur- vey. This Durham-wide online quality of life study aims to identify Durham residents’ opinions on factors such as work, commuting, safety and stress. It’s secure, anon- ymous and confidential, says Dr. Hannah Scott, a UOIT associate professor and director of the centre. “We will never know who you are but we would like to know how you’re doing,” she says. In last year’s pilot study, 443 people took part, and the results and comments were taken into consideration when the centre prepared this year’s questionnaire. “They did want to know more about the environment,” says Dr. Scott. So questions regarding vacation were taken out and replaced with queries on attitudes toward environmen- tal issues such as nuclear energy, for instance. These Durham-specific results will allow the univer- sity to prepare locally-based research reports, and offer insight that could benefit community partners and busi- nesses. “We want to be able to expand this every year so we can see how Durham is doing,” says Dr. Scott. She hopes the number of survey participants will dou- ble this time around. “The more people who respond, the more likely they are to get the best results that will help our community,” she says. Last year Dr. Scott was glad to see participation from Oshawa residents, but found areas such as Ajax and Pickering, and especially rural spots such as Brock and Scugog, were underrepresented. Since Durham is unique with both urban and rural dwelling, participation from all over the region would garner the best results. “Rural folks have different issues than city folks,” she says. Those without access to the Internet can go to their local library, an Internet cafe or a friend’s place, sug- gests Dr. Scott. The survey takes about 20 minutes and is available until Aug. 17 to all people who live and/or work in Durham. Results from last year’s study can be found online too.

Event sponsor Covanta believes it offers an environmentally sustainable way to get rid of trash and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority says it doesn’t make a habit of judging its corporate sponsors. “I was surprised and deeply concerned,” said Clarington Councillor Corinna Traill of the partnership. CLOCA agreed when Covanta approached them to sponsor a free outdoor showing of The Lorax at Purple Woods Conserva- tion Area in north Oshawa on Friday, Aug. 17 at 8 p.m. Patricia Lowe, director of com- munications with CLOCA, said the group works with a long list of corporate sponsors to deliver free programs for the public. Ms. Lowe said it was not a huge sum and the sponsorship does not commit CLOCA to an ongoing relationship with Covanta. “If you dig deep enough with any cor- porate sponsor you could find all sorts of things,” said Ms. Lowe. “Our mandate is to partner with our community. It’s better to be at the table (with Covanta) and have a voice.” There are several members of the pub- lic who are deeply opposed to the planned incinerator. They feel the new facility will irreversibly damage the local environment. That group was outraged to hear the com- pany was partnering with the water-protec- tion agency to offer the Dr. Seuss story that chronicles the plight of the environment. “The mandate of CLOCA is to preserve environmental integrity ... This company has an international reputation for numer- ous environmental violations,” said Coun. Traill. “(The partnership) is incoherent to me,” Covanta manager of corporate commu- nications James Regan calls the allegations of their energy-from-waste facilities being harmful to the environment false. He added he was surprised by opposition to the fam- ily event; Covanta partners with numerous environmental groups in the U.S. and has won many awards for its work.

Adoptathon featuring low price and bake sale on Aug. 18 DURHAM -- For those who love cats, sup- porting a good cause and enjoying some baked goods, Aug. 18 just might be the perfect day.

The sanctuary is at 2060 Concession Rd. 7 in Pickering. For more information, call 905-649-8282. The Joe Dickson, MPP Community Day Bar B Q was a huge success again this year on June 15th.

All content copyright Editorial OpinionsOpinionsOpinionsOpinions email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Community shows how deeply it cares To the editor: In the midst of tragedy when darkness swamped us, the lights of our communi- ty began to come on as the brightness of their love and endless support shone with compassion yet unprecedented. My mother was the 79 year old who was killed Sunday, July 15 at the intersection of Kingston and Rosebank roads, as she left her church’s Sunday service, at Heights City Church. She was in my husband’s vehicle. My husband was hospitalized with a broken pelvis, and another friend, a passenger in the back of the vehicle, is still in the hos- pital with a broken neck, ribs, hip and pel- vis. Horrific enough one would think. Our lives as a family changed forever in a split second of agonizing grief and chaos. Bad news, it seems, these days, is rife, but here, amidst the trauma and heart wrenching pain of this awfulness, good news is making its greater stand for our future. Our mother, affectionately known by all as Mama B, was a humble, caring pillar of strength to all who knew her. Her wisdom and dignity permeated every life and she is a legend, leaving a leg- acy of faith and loving care in her wake. Through the generosity and deep, genu- ine concern of our neighbors, friends and church family, people have stepped up and into our lives in creative ways that we would never have considered possible. We had a wheelchair ramp built profession- ally by a master carpenter in our church, meals provided for at least two months and our home cleaned and cared for. Our police force has been exceptionally supportive. Our ambulance and fire services awe- some in their professionalism. We have been able to bask in the love and assistance of our Durham “family” during our time of grief, that has enabled us to take care of the necessary logistics. We thank you and love you, and are so proud to call ourselves Canadian Dur- hamites. Warmest blessings. The Shivnarain, Jarvis, and Aladdin families Pickering I want to donate, but I can’t... To the editor: Re: ‘Give a little more: Durham blood donors needed’, editorial opinion, durham- region.com, July 6, 2012. I have tried over and over again only to be refused. I am a healthy person surviving breast cancer for 15 years now. I’m cancer- free and I have blood to give to save some- one in need and maybe save a life. A blood transfusion with my blood will not cause cancer. When will blood services come to their senses? Maybe there would be a bet- ter outcome for people in need if they just relaxed their restrictions. How many peo- ple in Durham Region are in the same cir- cumstances as I who are willing to help out by giving blood? I and many others are willing and able to give the gift of life. Karen Day Oshawa Crone column offensive To the editor: Re: ‘Life changes, and love continues to grow’, Neil Crone column, durhamregion. com, July 12, 2012. In Neil Crone’s latest column, he describes his current family situation and says that change in life is good. He continues to ‘clarify his observa- tions’ and I quote: ‘Sh*t not so much ... but as Jesus (or was it Hitler?) said, you can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs).’ In addition to this non-existent quote, I find it highly offensive to have Jesus, a man of peace, quoted in the same sentence as Hitler, a man responsible for millions of deaths. I am appalled how a local news- paper supposedly representing all faiths, races, sexual orientation, cultures, tradi- tions, etc., allows such to be printed. I am the first to acknowledge and embrace free- dom of speech but with this also comes responsibility. Perhaps Mr. Crone by using the ‘shock factor’ tries to draw attention to himself, as a writer, ‘actor’ or to his new children’s book. What a great example Mr. Crone. You’re the one with egg on your face. You and this publication owe the community an apology. Rudy Heezen Sr. Whitby Olympic athletes can stand proud in Durham Region How can anyone conclude Canada’s effort at the London Summer Olympic Games was anything but a success? Our athletes competed against the best in the world in individual and team sports and performed in typically Canadian fash- ion: grinding, low-key efforts with just enough never-say-die in reserve to provide some wonderful, memorable surprises. There was Mark Oldershaw, finding the deep reserves needed for a come-from- behind finish in the 1,100-metre canoe competition to win bronze. There was Carolyn Hunyh defending her gold medal with class and distinction, fighting to another medal finish (bronze). There was the quiet, impressive work of Derek Drouin in his first-ever Olympic competition, claiming a bronze in men’s high jump. And who could forget Thursday morn- ing’s bronze medal claimed by Canada’s women’s soccer team -- Ajax’s Candace Chapman contributed in that memorable match -- which rebounded from a heart- breaking semifinal loss against the U.S. earlier this week? Overall, these Games and our Canadian competitors deserve nothing less than a hero’s welcome when they return home. Every athlete, whether they reached the podium or bowed out early in competi- tion, represented our nation well, provid- ed supporters with two weeks of inspiring performance, and left everything they had on the field, on the track, and in the water. Here at home, a special nod of recogni- tion goes to Durham-based Olympic ath- letes Emily Batty, Kerri-Ann Mitchell, Alex- andra Landry, Jessica Phoenix, Nikkita Holder, Kelita Zupancic, Kristina Vaculik, Candace Chapman, Michelle Mueller and Kyle Johnson (competing in basketball for Great Britain). Each athlete has endured years of com- mitment to their discipline, undertook untold hours of training, travelling and competing. In that sense, they represent the best characteristics of Canadians. With the abiding support of local family and friends and the heartfelt cheers sent out from home, our Canadian Olympians have lived up to their obligations and must stand proud with the knowledge that Can- ada’s iconic symbol, the maple leaf, was on prominent display throughout the Games. We cheer their effort, acknowledge their achievement and offer a wish of support for those already contemplating the next step in their athletic endeavours.

A message from Durham Tourism Kerri King What’s shaping up to be the biggest country music festival in Canada’s history is taking place here in Durham Region this weekend. Boots and Hearts takes place at Canadi- an Tire Motorsport Park in Clarington from Aug. 10 to 12. I’m so excited that thousands of people will be flocking to Durham Region to see big-name country music stars including Tim McGraw, Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, Lio- nel Ritchie and Sheryl Crow among others. On top of these fantastic musical acts, Boots and Hearts is offering on-site attractions that put Durham Region in the spotlight. For the family, there’s a petting zoo, camel rides and elephant rides courtesy of the Bowmanville Zoo. There will also be crafters (some will be crafting right on site) and food vendors from Durham Region and the surrounding area. You’ll even get a chance to catch local up- and-coming band, the Stone Sparrows. This dynamic quartet hails from Bowmanville and they’ve crafted a great sound and some brilliant songs. With a diverse mix of blue- grass, folk, jazz and soul, they’re a great rea- son to show up early on Friday night. Con- gratulations to the Stone Sparrows on this great opportunity to play alongside the world’s most famous country music stars, and thanks for representing Durham Region so well. With days packed full of music, beach volleyball, a midway, nightly after-parties, attractions for the entire family and on-site camping, Boots and Hearts is revving up to be the biggest party of 2012 in Durham. For those of you visiting from out of town, we welcome you with open arms and hope you take the time to explore our beautiful coun- tryside, quaint downtowns, farms and win- eries. Come back again soon. For more information on Boots and Hearts, visit www.bootsandhearts.com.

Kerri King is the Region of Durham’s tourism manager Boots and Hearts features local musicians, businesses > PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G Spring is in the air and after a long winter you’ve opened your windows to find that they are old, ugly or just in rough shape. There are several benefits to having new windows and doors in your home. First, they improve the overall look of your house and increase its value. New windows and doors are also much more energy efficient, which means you can keep your heating and air conditioning inside, reducing your monthly bills. It may be tempting to pick up some windows and install them yourself, but you may find that you’re not getting the highest quality windows and the installation is trickier than it seems. Even if you buy the best windows on the market, if they are not installed and sealed properly, they essentially become worthless. “If a window or door is not installed properly, you can get drafts coming into the house,” explains Wayne Hutchinson, owner of Durham Windows and Doors. “I often get calls from people who have tried to install windows themselves or have used a friend or family member to come out and fix the installation.” Homeowners can save themselves the cost and trouble by having their windows and doors done properly the first time. Specializing only in windows and doors, Wayne and his staff have earned a reputation for their great work. Wayne will come to your house to measure and will bring with him samples of the windows that he has available. Not only can you shop from the comfort of your own home, but you can also see exactly how the windows will look. “After being in this business for 34 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Homeowners may also be tempted to hire a company that is willing to work under the table. The problem is that while they may save money short-term, it could cost them everything in the long run. If a worker is not insured and gets injured in your home, you are liable. Fly by night companies also won’t be around to honour warranties or help with any issues that come up. All of the installers at Durham Windows and Doors are staff, not subcontractors, are fully insured and have their WSIB certificates. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King Street West in Oshawa. For more information, please call Wayne at (905) 579- 2222 or 1-888-576-8575 or visit the website at www.durhamwindowsanddoors.ca.

TM windows for life! www.durhamwindowsanddoors.ca International psychics, mediums, clairvoyants and more come together for annual event TARA HATHERLY thatherly@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- People wondering what the future holds had a chance to find out at the 21st annual Whitby Summer Psychic Fair Aug. 3 to 6. Psychics, mediums, clairvoyants and more came from around the world to the Whitby Curling Club to help Durham residents get in touch with their spiritual sides. Hosted by Niagara Falls-based First Star Enterprises, the festival featured profession- al spiritual readers and fortune tellers of all kinds, along with a unique shopping experi- ence and many interesting demos and lec- tures. Stan Mallow of First Star Enterprises said the Whitby show is special, because it was one of the company’s first. “The one thing we like special about over here is the relationships, the people here feel like family,” he said. A highlight of the show was its advanced kirlian aura and chakra photos. In the spiri- tual world, aura refers to the electromagnet- ic energy that surrounds people. Auras are said to come in many colours that describe a person’s state of being. Everyone is said to have seven chakras that represent the body’s main energy centres. The colours and sizes of chakras are said to indicate how healthy and balanced someone is. Using an electromagnetic sensor and digi- tal camera, photographer Ray Faucher cap- tured photos of my aura and chakras which I got to keep, along with a detailed personal report on what my photos mean. My aura is larger than average, Mr. Fauch- er said, explaining that means I have strong, attractive energy. He said two spirit guides were also cap- tured in my photos, appearing as bright orbs on each side of my body. A bright orb that appeared above my head was said to be my guardian angel. Angelyn introduced me further to my guardian angel, whose name she said is Ste- fanie. Angelyn, an angelologist from Whitby, communicated with Stefanie to tell me about myself. She detailed an exciting future for me, which one would day bring me to Africa to help bring attention to the plight of people there. “Keeping in mind that you do have free will, and you do have the power to change any- thing that any psychic tells you,” she added. “Nothing is carved in stone.” Residents can soon find Angelyn at Under the Tea Cup, opening in September in White- vale, 425 Whitevale Rd.

Angelyn said she sees me travelling a lot, which Dia, a psychic adviser, said will be good for me. “That’s your meditation,” Dia told me. “You can’t live like a nomad, but you’re an almost nomad ... Travel is what’s going to sus- tain you.” I got great advice from Dia, a psychic advis- er from Oshawa, about following my heart. “You’re always better off following it,” she said. “Even if stuff turns out disastrous, at least you can put the period on the end of the sentence.” Dia offers professional readings at her home, which can be booked by calling 905- 725-4143.

The $200 million state-of-the- art ethanol facility will be located at the south east corner of the industrial site, adjacent to an asphalt plant and near a sewage treatment plant. The location of the new ethanol facility at Oshawa’s working port allows FarmTech to ship corn and distiller grains in the most efficient and environmentally friendly way possible. Utilizing Oshawa’s industrial port will help to keep 12,000 trucks off our roads, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. FarmTech’s Modern Facility Will Help Fuel Oshawa’s Economy •Creating 300 constructionjobs.•Creating 50 direct full timewell-paying jobs at thefacility.•Bringing hundreds ofindustry related, full timejobs in farming, shippingand port operations.•Injecting millions ofdollars annually into thelocal economy and localtax base.•Supporting agriculture bycreating a local market forarea farmers.•Will be a catalyst forincreased movement ofagricultural productsthrough the port which willhelp local and regionalfarmers and otherbusinesses. Oshawa Benefits from Clean, Green Technology ETHANOL IS MADE from corn and is a drinkable alcohol. It is biodegradable and will be produced at a facility that has gone through an extremely rigorous environmental assess- ment by agencies of the Federal government. The federal and Ontario government mandate of 5 percent ethanol in all gasoline requires approximately 2,054 million litres of ethanol each year. Producing 210 million litres in Oshawa annually will help meet this mandate and create jobs in Oshawa. FarmTech Energy will not only create news jobs and opportunity in Oshawa, it will help support our local tax base. Oshawa's Supporting the Local Tax Base residential tax rate is one of the highest in the GTA. One major contributing factor is slower growth and a reduction in tax revenue from the industrial and commercial sectors. Industries pay higher tax rates than residents. Welcoming a new industry, like FarmTech, will increase Oshawa’s industrial tax base and could help keep the residential tax rate from rising. Benefiting the Environment and Our Community THE GTA, including Durham Region, represents the largest market for ethanol in Canada. FarmTech’s new project will become the 6th fuel ethanol facility in Ontario, putting our community at the forefront of a significant industry that supports both the environment and Oshawa’s economy. By-products of ethanol processing include feed pellets for livestock, and CO2, which is captured and sold. Injecting millions of dollars annually into the local economy and local tax base.

Appliances like bar and wine fridges and ice makers ensure that your various libations are kept cool, while blenders and juicers allow you to show creative flair. Consider installing a bar/prep faucet. Ideas are found at deltafaucet.ca. The Trinsic, for example, with Touch2O Technology is a sleek, compact design which brings form and function to smaller spaces. Shaken or stirred? Equip your bar with beverage staples, including a variety of beers, wines, spirits, sodas and freshly-squeezed juices to ensure you can prepare any cocktail. A cocktail recipe book can help you achieve world-class cocktails and mocktails, like Trevor's family friendly signature Spicy Island Splendour mocktail: Spicy Island Splendour ½ oz lime juice 2 oz orange juice 1 oz lemon juice Ginger beer ¼ oz grenadine Ground nutmeg Shake lime, lemon and orange juices in a large ice-filled shaker, and strain into a glass filled with crushed ice.

Last chance to see Bard’s Bus Tour in west Durham Family affair for Kaminski girls Pickering mom, daughters working in entertainment industry MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- When Debbie Kaminski brought her daughters, Alexandria and Lauren, to one of talent agent Pat Jarosz’s open interviews in Durham, she joked with her girls that she might out-shine them and get chosen for work in the enter- tainment business. It was no joke: Jarosz did gauge Deb- bie Kaminski’s interest and now all three Pickering residents are her clients. “We’ve had a really great time,” Debbie Kaminski says. “I think it’s just bringing everybody out of their shell.” “I think it gives you more confidence in yourself,” Alexandria, 15, adds. She and her mom are a bit reserved. Not so 12-year-old Lauren, who has always had acting ambitions and was very keen to go to the open interview. All three have worked in television. Lau- ren was in the running to play Bella and Edward’s child in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2. After two call-backs, it was looking so good that Jarosz advised the Kaminskis to pack their bags. Lauren, who could pass for Bella and Edward’s child and did a lot of homework beforehand, was beyond excited. “I was nervous, but so hyped,” Lau- ren says of the Breaking Dawn auditions. “They were actually telling me, you need to relax.” It wasn’t to be, but the whole experience left Lauren wanting more. She says when she’s finished a shoot, she feels “a rush” at having accomplished something. Alexandria’s had a regular spot as an extra on Degrassi: The Next Generation. She’d never seen the show, but when she watched it was impressed that “it’s like what really happens in high school. “They make you feel really at home. I was so star-struck as soon I walked in,” she says, noting one of the show’s stars held the door for her. “I’d love to have one of the recurring roles; I think that would be so fun.” And let’s not forget Debbie Kamins- ki, who used to model. She’s had roles in episodes of Urban Legends and Paranor- mal Witness. But she says her favourite job was a billboard ad for Extra gum. The ad showed a large image of a beautiful woman smiling. Much smaller in the ad is Debbie Kaminski, as a maid, reaching up to clean the woman’s teeth. “We saw it driving to one of Alex’s soccer games. I said, ‘there I am!’,” she says, add- ing in the excitement they almost hit the curb. She also had a role in a short film. “For me, I enjoy doing it. I didn’t push (the girls) to do it.” “I used to never go in front of people and talk,” Alexandria says. She says that changed after she met Jaro- sz and her first task was to do a runway walk in front of an audience. After that, “I became more comfortable.” Even father Rick Kaminski, who’s very proud of his daughters, has been called in for a couple of auditions. Debbie Kaminski says she laid down the law from the beginning, telling the girls that if their marks drop “we quit every- thing; school comes first.” No worries there: Debbie says her daughter’s teach- ers have been supportive. Besides, both Kaminski girls are straight A students. Both girls were in a Next Star music video. While they don’t tell everybody what they’re doing so as not to appear as show-offs, their peers noticed. “When The Next Star came out all their friends watched it and freaked out,” Deb- bie Kaminski says. Not surprisingly, some want their help getting into the industry. All three are having a lot of fun with it. And while there wasn’t a lot of work at first, Jarosz advised them it would pick up and it has. “She’s so supportive,” Lauren says, add- ing Jarosz is “hilarious.” “We have the support of a wonderful agent who’s looking out for our welfare,” Debbie Kaminski says. “She’s there to guide us.” RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND PICKERING -- The Kaminski family women, from left, Lauren, 12, Debbie and Alexandria, 15, are working in all aspects of the entertainment industry.‘‘We’ve had a really great time.

Canadian women’s soccer team comes through BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com COVENTRY, ENGLAND -- Candace Chapman sure didn’t look hurt when she sprinted up the field to celebrate Diana Matheson’s goal that won Canada an Olympic bronze medal in women’s soccer Thursday. There’s no question she was, mind you, but all the pain and suffering that goes with a torn calf muscle and having to sit on the sidelines for much of the tourna- ment was washed away when Matheson pounced on a loose ball and put it home, giving Canada an improbable 1-0 win over France and its first Summer Olym- pic medal in a traditional team sport since 1936. As miraculous as the outcome was -- France dominated the game and especial- ly the second half -- it was arguably even more so that Chapman was on the field when it happened. The 29-year-old defender from Ajax, a veteran of more than 100 internation- al games and the Beijing Olympics, went down in a heap at the end of Canada’s opening game, and left the stadium on crutches with her calf taped. She confirmed Thursday that there’s a torn muscle in her calf, and generously listed herself at 70-per cent healthy, but when coach John Herdman finally gave her the nod in the 83rd minute of the medal match, she excitedly joined the fray. “I tried not to think about (the injury). I’ll tell you the last 10 seconds I didn’t feel it all,” she said, referring to Matheson’s goal, which came with time added on. “It was epic. I can’t really describe it any other way.” The medal brought a happy end to a roller-coaster of a ride for Canada. After dropping that first game to Japan, and losing Chapman for what looked like the rest of the tournament, Canada put it all together and took a remarkable run at reaching the gold medal game, something many feel was denied to them by ques- tionable officiating in a 4-3 semifinal loss to the United States. On Thursday, Canada lacked the jump and emotion seen in the U.S. game and was thoroughly dominated in the sec- ond half, where France hit the post and cross bar, put several other chances high or wide, and otherwise were stymied by keeper Erin McLeod. The Canadians never gave up, howev- er, and took advantage of one of the few opportunities the other way. “I feel like things like this never happen for Canada and to finally come away with it, it’s great. I’m so happy,” said Chapman. “Winning something like this, especial- ly where we came from a year ago, it’s an amazing feeling. I’m happy to experience it with pretty much family.” There’s little doubt Chapman is a big part of that family. Captain Christine Sinclair, who scored all three goals against the U.S. and whose status was in doubt for the game after making critical comments about the offi- ciating in the semifinal, was thrilled to be able to share the moment with Chapman. “She’s just a rock on our team. Our back line, seeing her go down in the first game, I think a few of us were going, ‘What’s going to happen now?’ Chappie’s always there,” said Sinclair, who’s been a teammate of Chapman’s for about 11 years now. “Obviously we had players step in and step up and fill the role exceptionally well, but to see Chappie back on the field and seeing her face after we won the game, it means the world to her,” Sinclair contin- ued, tearing up a bit. “She was so positive behind the scenes, even while she was injured, supporting us, taking the new centre backs under her wing and sort of guiding them. She’s just a tremendous individual and I was so happy to see her get back on that park and win that game for her.” Chapman agreed it was a special feeling to get back on the field, and even ventured to parts of it she rarely sees from the back line. “I never sprint up the field, and I sprint- ed,” Chapman recalled of joining the goal celebration. “Of course I had more energy than everybody else, but it was exhilarat- ing.” >Bronze for Chapman 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 1 0 , 2 0 1 2 15 AP Carrier of the We ek Ajax & Pickering Locations8 Salem Rd South Ajax, ON L1S 7T7 To day’s Carrier of the Week is Tianna & Celeste.

After falling behind 7–0, the Dolphins fought back, but after a long 60-yard inter- ception by defensive back Sharlon Smith, the Dolphins had to settle for a field goal. Wide receiver Josh Henry put the Dolphins ahead with a touchdown pass thrown by quarterback Raishaun Provo, making the score 10–7 for the Dolphins. Ottawa would later even the score with a field goal. In the third quarter Ottawa kept the pres- sure on with another touchdown, then added a field goal to make the score 20–10. The Dolphins’ Darnel Jarrett caught a cru- cial touchdown pass from quarterback Provo to cut the deficit to 20-17. In the fol- lowing series Provo scrambled for a critical first down. This led to the final touchdown of the game coming from running back Trey Humes of the Dolphins. Kicker Alonzo Addae completed the convert making the final 24-17 for the Dolphins. Providing some big defensive plays for the Dolphins were Yasean Steitieh, Trevaughan James, Nathaniel Benjamin, Alonzo Addae, Trey White, Adrian Price, Elijah Williams and Kamau Farrell-Burke. Also providing some big quarterback sacks were Matthew Prusin, Trevaughan James and Kesean Ben- nett. The offence was also in top form with rushes from Nicholas Chambers, Mark Cru- ciano, Jordan Grimes, Nathan Jones and Matthew Williams. The team is led by head coach Tony McIn- tosh. The Dolphins Junior OVFL team will play the Kingston Grenadiers on Saturday, Aug. 11 in the semifinals. The Dolphins COMFL tryouts have start- ed.
