KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Like Terry Fox, Yusuf Hirji was thrown a loop as a young athlete with big dreams. The 16 year old working toward a soccer scholarship thought he had injured his hamstring in July -- nothing new to the athletic teen who attends Pine Ridge Secondary School. But this time, ice and rest wouldn’t fix the problem. He was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. “At first I didn’t know what to think about it,” he says in an interview at Pine Ridge Thursday, about to share his story with students partici- pating in his school’s annual Terry Fox Run. He has the same type of cancer that Mr. Fox had, and like the Cana- dian hero, it’s in his leg. www.audiologyservices.ca SOUND TIP OF THE MONTH Advanced Technology for those with Higher Standards!

Keith GilliGan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A property tax increase of about $64 is “a good rec- ommendation in terms of afford- ability,” says the Region’s finance commissioner. Durham’s finance committee on Tuesday approved a 2013 tax- increase guideline of 2.75 per cent, which works out to $64 on a home assessed at $319,600. “The recommendation is, I think, a good recommendation in terms of affordability,” Jim Clapp told the committee. Most departments would see lit- tle increases in their budgets, he noted. However, the Durham Region- al Police would get a 7.2-per cent increase and Durham Region Transit a 12.2-per cent increase. The increase for the police totals $11.5 million, pushing the force’s budget to $180.2 million. About half of the police budget increase goes to covering debt charges relat- ed to projects being built, includ- ing the new Clarington station and an investigative centre in Whitby. The increase in the transit bud- get totals just over $5 million, with about $3 million going to cover a full year of salaries and benefits for employees hired last year. Even with the increase, Mr. Clapp said, “I tell you, it will not be an easy task for police and it will not be an easy task for transit, even with those increases.” For other Regional departments, “there isn’t anything increasing. It’s status quo. “I think this is a reasonable guideline in affordability and com- petitiveness,” he said. Regional council will consider the guideline at its meeting on Oct. 10. The final budget will be consid- ered on Feb. 13 of next year. The only person to speak to the committee was Oshawa resident Greg Milosh, and he said, “My main concern has been and will be the scale and cost of Regional gov- ernment.” He pointed to the 444 new staff members over the next five years different departments are seeking. “The scale and cost of Regional government is getting prohibitive,” Mr. Milosh said. He suggested the Region start charging employees for parking and not giving grants to hospitals or post-secondary institutions. “I would consider a hiring freeze if not a wage freeze,” he said. Mr. Clapp warned of a wage freeze, saying, “It’s the kind of thing you have to be careful of. Our human capital is one of our biggest assets. That kind of discussion is a knee-jerk reaction.” Matt Gaskell, the commissioner of corporate services, agreed with Mr. Clapp, saying, “An arbitrary freeze tends to come back and affect you.” The 2.75-per cent guideline is “well below (staff) submissions,” Mr. Clapp noted. Over the next five years, the Region could be taking on $790 million of debt. That assumes all projects requested are approved. However, he noted the capi- tal requests “aren’t achievable. They’re beyond taxpayers’ ability” to pay. The budget is based on assess- ment growth of one per cent, although he noted the Region hasn’t yet reached that mark. “A cautious outlook is what is required,” he said. 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 • Oc t o b e r 4 , 2 0 1 2 3 AP �� Fo r all your DEBTS!Make One Small Monthly Pa yment credit � Visit: Make One Small Monthly Payment Fo r all your DEBTS! 62 Russett Av e., Oshawa 905-723-0282 bringing playful moments to life for over 60 years! www.oshawalittletheatre.com Ti ckets are $20 and are available at: @OLT1950 directed by Robert Calvert produced by Tr istan Smith presented by Special arrangement with Samuel French Inc.

Durham police said Wednesday the death of Mitchell Somerville, 17, has been labelled a “case of mis- adventure”. An autopsy revealed no evidence of foul play and toxicology testing is pending, police said. Mitchell, an aspiring baseball play- er, was last seen on the night of Fri- day, Sept. 21 in Whitby. Some of his personal effects were located later that weekend in Bruce Hanscombe Park on the Pickering lakefront, police said. Hopes of the youth’s safe return were dashed Sunday, Sept. 30, when a body was found in Frenchman’s Bay. While acknowledging it was likely Mitchell, police delayed making an official identification until an autop- sy was conducted. Sabrina byrneS / metroland AJAX -- Pickering High School students shared their condolences on a board after one of their peers, Mitchell Sommerville, was found dead in Frenchman’s Bay on the weekend.

But Pickering Pastor Aud- ley Castro challenges people, one at a time or in a group setting, to take a different path, one of hope and forgiveness. The issues came to the forefront this sum- mer when gunfire at a Scarborough barbe- cue left 23 people wounded and two people dead, including 23-year-old Joshua Yas- say of Ajax. On that same July day, police responding to an armed robbery call in Pickering shot a 17-year-old Pickering boy. Inevitably, the questions arose: why are these incidents happening and what can be done about them? Pastor Castro has been dealing with such issues for years, both at Apostolic Pentecos- tal Church of Pickering and in his work in the community at large. And, unfortunate- ly, at funerals for young men whose lives have been claimed by gun violence, where he challenges those who have gathered to say goodbye to search within themselves for answers. “I think deep down people know right from wrong,” he told us recently. But between the knowledge and the behaviour, people can and do go astray. When they do, Pastor Castro says it is the church’s job to get them back on track, to remind them there is a higher standard, a different way where hope triumphs over despair and love slays hatred. His ministry from the start has stressed programs for young people and he’s seen first-hand how they, and a powerful mes- sage at a funeral, can have a beneficial effect. Pastor Castro isn’t blind to the fact that such a message can fall on deaf ears. But he hasn’t given up on the problem. And per- haps Pastor Castro’s approach is best in that he breaks it down to one person at a time making that change, opting for life instead of death. “The power of one, in its right place, can be the catalyst to provide change,” he says. “People can change, and they are open to a new way of life. “That is extremely profound to me.” It’s too easy to give up, to isolate ourselves, bar the door, if you will, when confronted by the issue of violence in our community. Pastor Castro has taken the opposite approach. And by engaging people and ask- ing them to think about their own behav- iour and choices, he’s a catalyst for positive change. It’s common knowledge you can find books at public libraries but it might not be as well known that you can also find authors there, at least in Ajax. Ajax Public Library has a local authors data- base that’s available to everyone, library member or not. This online base lists authors from Durham Region and their books. So if you’re on a 100-mile diet of books, you might want to check it out. Donna Bright, chief librarian and executive officer of Ajax Public Library, sent me an e-mail about the database, after checking to see if an author I’d written about in my column was on the database. (She is.) I called Ms. Bright to find out more about the database. She says it highlights the wealth of talent in Durham. It certainly does. There are currently 66 local authors on the database. You can find a list of their books, their profiles, even their pictures. The library started putting together the data- base to profile that talent two years ago. Ms. Bright says libraries serve multiple purposes and for Ajax, one of those is serving the local literary arts community. In this instance, the community is all of Dur- ham, not just Ajax. The database is a great resource for local students, historians and readers looking for local content. Ms. Bright said the library does not carry all books listed on the database but it gives people a starting point. To be included, authors must be people who live in Durham and have published works while living here. If authors live here now but haven’t published works while living in Durham, they can sign up as a local connection. This database is yet another connection, connecting local readers and local authors to each other and local authors to anyone able to access the database. Authors who aren’t on the database can go to www.ajaxlibrary.ca, go to eServic- es and click on ‘durham authors’. They can click to connect with the library and get approval to be included. Once approved, they’ll be given a password and be able to add themselves to the database. Readers, students, historians can access the list of authors through the website. Ms. Bright said she’d like to see databases developed for other artistic talents, such as visual arts, film and media arts.

CHURCH STREET MARKETPLACE PLAZA EVENT SITE - THIS SATURDAY @ 2pm 24 CHURCH ST.S.IN PICKERING VILLAGE Durham students encouraged to walk October is International Walk to School Month DURHAM -- Waking or cycling to school promotes fun, fitness and safety, says the Durham Region Health Department. That’s why it’s encouraging all area schools to participate in International Walk to School Month in October and International Walk to School Day on Oct. 10. The annual event promotes physical activity, safe communities and clean air, and is part of the transportation initiative Active and Safe Routes to School, which is organized by Green Communities Cana- da. “Walking and cycling to school is an easy and fun way for children and youth to add physical activity into their day,” said Sta- cey Papanicolaou, a public health nurse. “Being physically active can help improve children’s overall health and fitness.” According to Green Communities Cana- da, other benefits include having less traf- fic around schools, cleaner air and safer streets. Also, IWALK may encourage com- munity members to work together to help make their community a safer place. Participating schools are eligible for prizes. Schools can register for IWALK and take the ‘iCANwalk to school’ chal- lenge by posting their school’s kilometres walked throughout the school year at saf- eroutestoschool.ca. For more information on strategies to support more active schools, call the Dur- ham Health Connection Line at 1-800- 841-2729 or 905-666-6241, or visit dur- ham.ca. Durham students challenged to spread kindness this month > Random Acts of Kindness challenge set for Oct. 15 to 19 DURHAM -- Students across Durham are being challenged to do something nice for somebody else in October. The YWCA Durham’s Random Acts of Kindness Challenge promotes and cel- ebrates kindness among students, and focuses on the positive effects students can have among their peers and envi- ronment. Throughout one week in October, stu- dents are asked to do unexpected and unprovoked kind acts that benefit some- one or something else. Picking up books someone has dropped, inviting someone who looks lonely to play or drawing a picture to cheer someone up are all examples of random acts of kindness. YWCA hopes these acts will be contagious and contin- ue throughout the year without incen- tive. In 2011, 11,000 students performed nearly 20,000 acts of kindness, and this year, the YWCA hopes students will dou- ble that number. During the week of Oct. 15 to 19, schools are asked to record ‘kindness acts’ and submit the school total on Oct. 22. Results will be announced on Oct. 26. To register, schools must RSVP by Oct. 12 to Lesley Ellis, project co-ordinator by calling 905-576-6356 or sending an e-mail to lesley.e@ywcadurham.org. Local business have donated prizes and the three schools to do the most acts of kindness will be rewarded. Any other businesses wishing to donate should contact Sue Dafoe, manager of commu- nications and fund development at sd@ ywcadurham.org. > Local MPP says getting deficit under control is ‘paramount’ Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- As the Durham Children’s Aid Society prepares to mark Child Abuse Prevention Month in October, officials say the organization is facing increased financial strain. Durham CAS recently learned it will receive about $1.5 million less in provin- cial funding for this fiscal year, compared with last year. The Province has announced “cost con- straints” for children’s aid societies across Ontario as it wrestles with a 2011/2012 deficit of about $13 billion. “We know the Province has a defi- cit they are trying to manage, but we cer- tainly weren’t antic- ipating a decrease. We were hoping to at least remain at what we got last year,” says DCAS execu- tive director Wanda Secord. It means Durham CAS will lay off the equivalent of seven full-time positions and disband a new service team created to help children in care return home more quickly. The local agency will also scrap plans for new hires and down the road could be looking at program cuts. Durham CAS is also carrying a $3.3-mil- lion historical deficit, the result of fund- ing changes the Province implemented in 2006/2007 and 2009/2010. “We are being asked to do more with less,” says Ms. Secord, noting demand for CAS services in Durham spiked at the start of the 2009 recession and has remained steadily high. In 2011/2012 Durham CAS conducted 4,630 child welfare investigations and was serving about 1,100 families at any given time. “The deficit, in my mind, is the biggest threat to health care, education and social services -- and the good work of CASs is included in that. It’s paramount that we get it under control,” says Pickering-Scar- borough East MPP Tracy MacCharles, who serves as the parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Children and Youth Ser- vices. She says the Province is working closely with Ontario CASs to come up with better funding formulas and address the histori- cal deficit issue, but stresses the agencies have to recognize the economic reality. “We’re asking everybody to help us manage ... we need all the people in all the sectors to kind of take a pause and look for efficiencies,” Ms. MacCharles says. Durham CAS officials are especially concerned about how the financial strain will impact recommendations to improve services for youth who are “aging out of care.” A recent report called “25 is the new 21” suggests extending financial support for former crown wards to age 25, noting young adults are now relying on family support well into their 20s. It says every $1 the Province spends to extend support to age 25 will save taxpay- ers about $1.36 in the long run. 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 • Oc t o b e r 4 , 2 0 1 2 8 AP Durham Children’s Aid Society struggling with funding cuts Fast Facts Purple ribbon celebrates 20 years The purple ribbon that has become a symbol of Child Abuse Prevention Month in October is cel- ebrating its 20th anniversary.

Dr. Robert Kyle, medical officer of health for the Region, says it’s a first. “I’m not aware of any other deaths before this,” he said. So far in 2012 Durham has document- ed seven cases of West Nile -- three con- firmed and four probable -- including the two deaths. Dr. Kyle said dying from the virus is “exceedingly uncommon.” Just contracting it at all is unusual; most years Durham Region has few or no human cases reported. In 2011 a man and a woman in their 50s were the only human cases, while Dur- ham reported one human case in 2010 and zero in 2009. Health department officials would not provide information on the two residents who died, citing privacy issues. However, a Sept. 27 death notice says Durham resident William Connolly died Sept. 16 at Lakeridge Health Oshawa “after a courageous battle with West Nile virus.” No age was given, but the death notice noted he had been married for 50 years. Those who do contract the virus typi- cally have mild flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue and headache. Dr. Kyle said less than one per cent of those infected will have serious neurolog- ical symptoms such as paralysis, while an even smaller percentage will die. “It really depends on their general state of health,” he said, explaining why West Nile makes some people sicker than oth- ers. “You have to consider underlying risk factors like age, weakened immune sys- tem, whether they’re malnourished.” West Nile virus is mosquito-borne and is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected by feed- ing on the blood of a bird that carries the virus. The disease is not passed from per- son to person or from bird to person. This summer there was an uptick in West Nile virus activity in Durham. By mid-August eight pools of adult mos- quitoes had tested positive for the virus, which matched the year-end total for 2011. Warm weather over the last two sum- mers, coupled with mild winters, have allowed more mosquitoes to survive the cold season. The longer breeding period caused by this year’s early summer led to more larva and more West Nile-positive mosquito pools. “Temperature is one of the factors that affects it; with increased temperatures you see an increase in the amount of virus in mosquitoes themselves,” says Laura Freeland, manager of environmental health for the Region. The health department conducts a West Nile virus surveillance program each year from May 1 to Sept. 30. It includes surveillance for larval and adult mosquitoes and a larviciding pro- gram that targets standing water such as catch basins and storm water manage- ment ponds. -- With files from Moya Dillon 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 • Oc t o b e r 4 , 2 0 1 2 10 AP Full details at www.drive 4 dollars .ca LAKERIDGE HEALTH OSHAWA Participating Dealers will make a contribution towards the purchase of a new CT Scanner for everyvehicle that is test driven or purchased during the months of September and October 2012.Partnering for Healthcare Excellence, Every Moment, Every Day.

His talk at Pine Ridge was his second so far; he spoke to some kids in Scarbor- ough earlier in the month. “I hope it makes people more aware how common cancer is in kids,” he says. Initially convinced osteosarcoma would mean the end of sports, Yusuf’s now determined to push through. “As much as it limits you, it inspires you to do more,” he says. The reality of cancer quickly changed Yusuf’s life, but he’s dealing with it. He wasn’t happy to lose his hair, but he’s learned to embrace the new look. He didn’t want to be home schooled, but he’s grateful for supportive friends and teachers. “He’s accepted it,” says his mother, Shy- rin Hirji. But that doesn’t mean he’s given up. On Oct. 11, doctors will try to remove the cancer at the Hospital for Sick Children, and he hopes it will save his left leg. He’s scheduled to complete chemo- therapy in March. “By next summer we’re hoping our detour is done and we’re back on track,” says Ms. Hirji. Yusuf is pleased to support the work that Mr. Fox started in 1980 when he ran across Canada with an amputated leg to raise awareness about cancer and funds to support research. “I couldn’t imagine what the treatment would be like if technology didn’t evolve because of the run,” the Pickering teen says. For example, a solution in Yusuf’s backpack that’s connected to a port in his body is minimizing stays at the hos- pital by giving him the hydration he needs after chemotherapy. Before getting the backpack, he’d spend days in the hospital as the solu- tion flushed out his system. It’s one of a number of projects Yusuf is testing out at SickKids. He’s also become a mentor to a fellow teenager who was recently diagnosed with cancer, less than three months after his own diagnosis. “I think the positive attitude is under- rated and you can’t realize how impor- tant it is,” says his mother. That positive attitude shone through at the run as hundreds of students chant- ed Yusuf’s name after he shared plans to participate in the run next year, as a full- time student. “I’m so proud of him,” says Ms. Hirji.

Majestic vistas pull you from lush cactus- studded deserts to lofty pine forests to breath-taking multi-hued canyons at ev- ery twist and turn of the highway between the state capital, Phoenix, and the world- renown chasm that lends its name to the Grand Canyon State. The Phoenix area, in the south of the state, and home to many Canadian snowbirds, is the perfect launching point for a driving tour to the north. Natural attractions are the features of six natural forests, 22 Native American reservations, 27 state parks and 26 national parks in what became a state in 1912 that grew famous for cattle, copper, cotton, citrus and climate. On the two-and-a-half-hour drive north to Flagstaff from downtown Phoenix’s Sky Har- bor Airport, the scenery segues smoothly from the giant saguaro cactus of the desert to Christmas pines as you climb to the 2,100-me- tre elevation amid canyons and shrub. Flagstaff grew up around a railroad depot and contains historic buildings dating from the 1800s. One of the newer facilities is the Arizona High Spirits Distillery, which produces vodka. The Arboretum at Flagstaff is on 2,000 acres of Ponderosa pine forest and houses more than 2,500 regional plant species in natural settings and formal gardens. The Museum of Northern Arizona tells the story of the re- gion’s pioneers along with the geology and frontier life of northern Arizona. It also explores, interprets and preserves the artistic tradition, native culture and natural sciences of the Hopi, Navajo, Pai and prehis- toric peoples of the Colorado Plateau. Arizona’s Rainbow Bridge, a two-hour jaunt from Page, is the highest natural bridge in the world. Anne Gordon photo Street scene in historic Flagstaff. Mispahn, fl ickr. c.c. 2.0 By Sandy Katz The Phoenix area, home to many Canadian snowbirds, is the perfect launching point for a driving tour north to Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon Awesome Arizona WWW.FOREVERYOUNGNEWS.COM | OCTOBER 2012 Evidence of the lifestyle of Senaguan Indians who once populated the area is found at the Wupatki National Monument north of Flag- staff that contains the ruins of hundreds of cliff dwellings built by what are believed to be ancestors of the Hopi Indians. Visitors can walk along trails fashioned by folk who lived there some seven centuries ago. The Cameron Trading Post nearby was found- ed in 1916 and is one of the last authentic trading posts in the Southwest. It offers a mini taco of Navajo fried bread topped with a spicy combination of lean ground beef, mild chili, beans, cheese, lettuce and tomato. It’s a three-and-a half-hour drive to Page and the Lake Powell National Golf Course, which sits on a high mesa overlooking the Vermil- lion Cliffs in Page and the Glen Canyon Dam and lake. The 30-kilometre-long lake draws nearly three-million visitors a year, many of whom tour Antelope Canyon, a monument made of petrifi ed sand dunes created by wa- ter, wind and time. Page sits amid spectacular steep-walled can- yons and red-rock mesas and is the gateway to numerous national, state and tribal parks, all within 15 minutes of the sparkling lake. A century after a one-armed Civil War hero named Powell set out in May, 1869, with a small band of men to chart the last frontier west of the Colorado, a group from Page es- tablished a museum to preserve and promote the memory of Major Powell’s achievements through exhibits that feature photographs, etchings, paintings, documents and recon- structions. When you’re in this region, you can’t pass up a helicopter hop over the Grand Can- yon, which was designated a national park by President Woodrow Wilson on Feb. 26, 1919. The park, which hosts more than four-million visitors annually, is a geologic museum that displays nearly half the earth’s 4.6-billion-year history. Its rocks tell of climatic changes that allowed several seas, rivers and dune-fi lled deserts to dominate the region. The chasm had its be- ginnings about six-million years ago as the sediment-laden Colorado and its tributaries worked away at it and, with the aid of rain, ice and gravity, widen it to its present 15-k average width. From there, you can board the Grand Canyon Railway to Williams. The fi rst passenger train arrived at the South Rim more than 100 years ago. Today, there is daily round-trip service to and from Williams. Passengers get to ride on a restored 1920s Harriman Coach while musicians and mock train robbers keep them entertained during the two-hour trip. You can still enjoy a soda from the fountain in the Route 66 Cruiser’s Cafe just outside this early-19th century Western town. Back in Phoenix, you can drop by the Heard Museum to learn more about Native Ameri- can art, culture and heritage via the more than 3,500 displays of prehistoric and contem- porary baskets, ceramics, jewellery, kachina dolls, examples of typical lodging and audio- visual presentations. 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 • Oc t o b e r 4 , 2 0 1 2 15 AP durham.ca Sept 12 150 boothsto browsethrough Free ShuttleRide From parking lot to gym front door Admission Adults $6 Seniors $5 Children Free The DurhamCraft & Gift Show October 19, 20, 21, 2012 Your one-stop shopping for ultimate gift giving this Holiday Season! www.showsdurhamregion.com Show Hours Fri.

Scan this QR code for video of this week’s adopt-a-pet on our Kristen’s Kritters blog Lark horned in on weekend watching Thanksgiving pet safety tips A phone call one morning last week set off a day-long ripple of excitement. “I have a question for you about some birds,” announced Ingrid Dolan of Scarborough. She’d been walking along Wasaga Beach on the weekend, and saw a few unfa- miliar birds running around on the shore. Not piping plovers, the darling pinkish shorebirds that nest there, almost the exact colour of the sand. During breeding season, volunteers take turns protecting the well-camou- flaged eggs of these highly endangered birds, trying to steer people and pets away from them on the beach. The birds Ingrid was trying to identify sounded like shore- birds, from what she told me of their location and behaviour, plus colouration: a streaky greyish brown with pale underparts. There would still be some shorebirds migrating south from the Arctic in late September. Another possibility could be palm war- blers, which often feed on the ground, and move down the Bruce Peninsula in great numbers in fall. Luckily, she had snapped a few pictures with her cellphone and forwarded the fuzzy images by e-mail. At once I knew they weren’t palm warblers. The mystery birds had bold face markings -- yel- lowish slash over the eye and down the cheek, with a dab of white on the side of the neck -- and their shape was all wrong. Plus she didn’t mention them bobbing their tails, which palm warblers do. They weren’t shorebirds. I immediately thought of open country birds like pipits and horned larks, and started thumbing through field guides, checking winter and juvenile plumages. Could they be dickcissels? I knew those were more of a grassland species than bare ground, but the field marks looked pretty close. Meanwhile Ingrid hunted through bird books with coworkers, and wondered if they might be sharp-tailed sparrows. To solve the puzzle we had to turn to Ron Pittaway, a retired nat- uralist from the MNR who knows more about plumage variations than anyone in Ontario. His prompt response: northern race of horned lark. Flocks of which “unlike the prairie race, are often seen along the shorelines of the Great Lakes in autumn.” Bingo. It turns out that these barren-land breeders molt once a year, in late summer. So the streaky greyish feathers of the birds on Wasaga Beach were fresh and new, and likely great camouflage for a bird feeding in a grey wintry field down in the States. By the time northern horned larks migrate back through Ontario again, in April, the tips of their feathers will have worn off, reveal- ing the familiar plumage pattern everyone recognizes: bold black cheek patch, bib and crown, the males with the small erectile black “horns” that give them their name.

Limit human food for pets this weekend KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It’s common to see Rover hovering around the Thanksgiving din- ner table, licking his lips in anticipation of leftover scraps. But feeding pets some human foods can be upsetting to their stomachs and even fatal. Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and happy this weekend, from the American Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals. Many people know chocolate, grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs. So is Xyli- tol, a sweetener and baking ingredient in many types of gum, mints, candy and pastries. Consuming a little bit can give dogs seizures, low blood sugar, liver fail- ure and can even cause death. Alcohol, onions, yeast dough and macadamia nuts can upset their stom- ach and lead to diarrhea or pancreatitis. Sage, often found in stuffing, can lead to upset stomach and possible depression of the central nervous system. It and many other herbs contain oils and resins that can cause gastrointestinal upset and central nervous depression. All lilies can cause kidney failure in cats. If you suspect your pet has ingest- ed something toxic, call your veterinar- ian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435. If you choose to give your pet a lit- tle nibble of turkey, make sure it’s well- cooked and boneless, and never under- cooked or raw. This can contain salmo- nella bacteria. Cake batter with raw eggs can also contain it. If dogs eat raw bread dough, it can rise in their stomach, causing vomiting, severe abdominal pain and bloating. It’s OK to give pets a few small piec- es of cooked turkey, a taste of pota- toes or even a lick of pumpkin pie, but don’t allow them to overindulge. This can cause stomach upset, diarrhea and worse, pancreatitis. While humans are indulging, give your cat or dog their own treats. Try stuffing a Kong toy with their usual dinner and a few added bits of turkey, vegetables and dribbles of gravy. Finally, keep in mind all the guests can stress out pets, and could cause them to escape out the door, so take precautions. And let visitors know feeding your pets table scraps is off the table. > JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND DURHAM -- Pet owners are encouraged not to allow pets to feast with the rest of the family this Thanksgiving. Since few small pieces of human food are OK, it’s suggested to put a few dribbles of gravy inside their Kong toy while the humans are eating.Thanksgiving usually involves a holiday feast, but becautious of what you offer your pet. Never give your petsraw meats, bones, or fat, as these can pose health risks andcause stomach upset & obstruction. If you are going to offeryour pets a treat, only offer very small amounts, & don’t letthem over indulge. Sage can cause neurological side effectsif ingested in large amounts. Ensure that desserts are keptout of reach. Never let your pet eat baking dough, as this canexpand in their stomach and lead to pain and bloating whichcan be life threatening. Lastly, several friends& family in the home can be stressful forboth cats and dogs. Always ensure thatthey have a safe place to go to in the home.For more information visit: Ask the Vet: Thanksgiving Safety tips:Written by Dr. Melanie Dell http://www.aspca.org SportsSports Brad Kelly- Sports Editor • bkelly@durhamregion.com Crepinsek goes first round to Minnesota, Koger in fifth to Toronto SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- After two summers of honing his skills as a member of the Ajax Rock, defender Alex Crepinsek is now realizing the fruits of his labour. The Oakville native and two-year Major Series Lacrosse veteran was cho- sen with the 10th pick of the first round in the 2012 National Lacrosse League Entry Draft Monday night at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto. “I’m so excited to get a chance to play in Minnesota, to play in this league,” Crepinsek said moments after donning a Swarm jersey for the first time. ”I’m almost at a loss for words right now. It’s really great. I’m just so excited.” Crepinsek was one of four Swarm first rounders, joining Brock Soronson, Kiel Matisz and Shayne Jackson, who were all taken in a row with picks two through four. After adding the likes of those three to the fold, Swarm head coach Joe Sul- livan says it was integral that his team addressed the need of a pure defender with that No. 10 selection. “We rounded out the first-round with a shut-down defenceman,” Sullivan told the Swarm website. “Every team in our league has two or three players that can burn you on offence, and when I can allocate one player to shut-down a par- ticular player, that helps. There’s going to be an opportunity for him to step in and learn our system real quickly.” And while the opportunity appears to be there for Crepinsek, he knows his lofty draft status won’t be enough to lock up a spot. “It’s going to be tough. There’s no easy lineup in this league to crack. It’s going to take a lot of hard work. I’ve just got to go out there and give everything I’ve got and do everything they ask,” he said. Making a good impression and earn- ing his keep is nothing new for Crepin- sek, who got his opportunity two years ago with the Rock, and after a rookie season with mixed results he took a big step forward this past summer to put himself in position to be drafted high. “This summer I had a pretty good summer. I played some really good lacrosse and I really grew as a player. This time last year I don’t think I would have ended up in the first round, but the middle of this summer I was doing pretty well and I gave myself a shot,” he said. Robert Koger found himself in a simi- lar situation, playing a lot of minutes for a struggling Rock team. However, it has paid dividends for him as well, as Koger swapped one Rock jer- sey for another, chosen in the fifth round by the Toronto Rock. “I started to get a little nervous towards the end there, but to be chosen by the Rock, I was hoping to go there,” said the Toronto native. “It’s an honour to get drafted and just get a chance to go to training camp and show what I can do.” Koger said moments after being tabbed by Toronto that his time spent on the floor with Ajax was a big reason he heard his name called. “I really think it is. Playing against men and playing against some of the best players in the world, it’s a challenge and it is the best way to prepare yourself for (the NLL). It was really great to get that experience,” said the six-foot-five, 220 pound defender, who attended George- town University. >Rock defenders chosen PHOTO BY GRAIG ABEL TORONTO -- Oakville native Alex Crepinsek, who plays for the Ajax Rock during the summer, was a first-round pick, 10th overall, by the Minnesota Swarm in the 2012 National Lacrosse League. He is pictured in the middle between two mem- bers of the Swarm front office. NLL Draft Lum-Walker selected in round two by Rock SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- Mike Lum-Walker has always wanted to be a member of the Toronto Rock. He just never thought it would be possible. However, this winter the Ajax native and former Whitby Warriors defender will get a chance to make that dream a reality after the Rock selected him in the second round, 20th overall in the 2012 National Lacrosse League Entry Draft that took place earlier this week in Toronto at the Westin Harbour Castle. Lum-Walker has had success at every level in which he has played, but says the feel- ing of being drafted by the Rock differs from any other triumphant experience he has enjoyed. “It’s surreal. I’ve wanted to play for the Rock ever since I was little and being draft- ed by them, there is no better feeling in the world,” Lum-Walker said moments after hearing his named called out by NLL com- missioner George Daniel. In his final year at Brock, Lum-Walker and his teammates have designs on capturing another a title, so that remains, understand- ably, a big part of his focus at this time. Not lost, though, is the knowledge that he has a lot of work ahead to earn a spot on the Rock back end for this upcoming season. “I’m really excited for it. So pumped. I’m starting training right away and getting ready for anything and everything,’ he said, before adding, “I’ve dedicated a lot of my training to this lately and I really want this. When I want something I get it so I am excited for this opportunity.” Heading into and during the draft there was some thought Lum-Walker might find a home out west, considering his junior coach Derek Keenan was in the process of stockpil- ing a host of former Warriors. He had pegged Mark Matthews with the first overall pick and then grabbed Curtis Knight with the eighth selection and speculation had him going mid-second round to Edmonton with their next pick. That group won a Minto Cup in Whitby in 2011. The dominoes didn’t fall that way, howev- er, as Keenan opted for another former War- rior, albeit an older one in Mike Cudmore. And while Lum-Walker was getting antsy in hopes of hearing his name called, there wasn’t a hint of disappointment from his end on not ending up out west with a host of familiar faces. Truth is he would have been thrilled to have any one of the league’s nine teams call his name as it wasn’t long ago where he didn’t buy into the hype that his level of play would put him into the draft picture. “I’ve always doubted myself, but seeing the mock drafts with my name in it and other things like that, hearing people talk about how they think I could do, I really started to push myself and get my body to where it should be for a chance at the NLL,” he said. It’s fair to assume the Rock has washed any reason for that feeling away following the draft. 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 • Oc t o b e r 4 , 2 0 1 2 17 AP 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 • Oc t o b e r 4 , 2 0 1 2 18 AP Ajax & Pickering Locations 279 Kingston Rd.

Wilson remained undefeat- ed and in a tie for first place after week two of the Tier 1 senior foot- ball league. TIER 1 SENIOR Donald A. Wilson (2-0) 39, Pickering (0-2) 0 Four different Gators record- ed majors as Wilson defeated Pickering. Touchdowns by Andrew Smith, Manny Quainoo and Chris- tian Rose were followed by CJ Ste- phens with a 60-yard punt return and a 24-yard run. Brandon Hatzes converted all five touchdowns. The Trojans have been shut out in back to back games to open the season. Paul Dwyer (2-0) 35, Holy Trin- ity (0-2) 30 The Saints overcame a 30-14 deficit with less than three min- utes remaining as they successful- ly executed back-to-back onside kicks following touchdown pass- es to Bryce MacDonald (31 yards and 54 yards). The final of the three touchdowns, which spanned only 33 seconds on the game clock, was a 55-yard pass to Ryan Dixon. The Saints will now travel to Donald A. Wilson with first place on the line. TIER 2 SENIOR Eastdale 38, Bowmanville 6 The Eagles made a triumphant return to senior football following a one-year absence. Josh Cousins turned in a two-touchdown effort while Ty Neubauer, Dan Chariton- ov and Ian Ross each contributed single touchdowns. Ben Donnelly was perfect on all five converts and added a field goal. Kyle Kelly scored the lone major for the Talons. St. Stephen 47, Port Perry 7 Matt Peters and Darby Bradley combined for 35 scoring points as the St. Stephen Royals opened their season with an emphatic 47-7 vic- tory over the Port Perry Rebels. Peters, who also handles the point after duties, contributed three touchdowns and five converts. Chad Cleverton reached the end zone for lone Rebels touchdown. Sinclair 33, O’Neill 16 Garrett Arsenault and Xavier Ellis each scored two touchdowns including all three first half majors to vault Sinclair to a comfortable 20-0 lead at the half. The fifth Sin- clair touchdown was scored when Sanjay Francis reeled off an 88-yard run in the third quarter. Callum Cove and Tristan Muir both record- ed touchdowns for the Red Hawks. Ajax (1-0) 51, Uxbridge (0-1) 0 The senior Rams, led by Bradley Benedetto and Matthew Williams, turned in an impressive opening game shutout over Uxbridge. Bene- detto’s three-touchdown effort was matched by Williams with the lat- ter returning a punt 71 yards for his final major. Nasaire Wallace contributed one touchdown while Brad Till had nine points (field goal, six converts). Ajax: Bradley Benedetto 3TD; Matthew Williams 3TD; Nasaire Wallace TD; Brad Till FG, 6C Notre Dame (1-0) 12, J. Clarke Richardson (0-1) 2 After a winless season in 2011, Notre Dame shares the divisional lead as they defeated the Richard- son Storm 12-2. Kouvahn Dankin and O’Shane Richards accounted for the Cougar scoring. Richard- son’s points came from a safety with Alexander Goudogianis earning credit for the two scoring points. Notre Dame: Kouvahn Dankin TD; O’Shane Richards TD J. Clarke Richardson: Alexander Goudogianis SFT TIER 1 JUNIOR Holy Trinity (2-0) 27, Paul Dwyer (0-2) 0 The Titans remain undefeated as they shut out the Saints at Paul Dwyer. Nathan Jones spearheaded the Titan effort with a pair of majors and a two-point convert while Tyson Rose and Mike Akeson each added a touchdown. Cody Papp added a convert. Pickering (2-0) 35, Donald A. Wilson (0-2) 14 Trailing 7-0 early in the game, the Trojans erupted for four touch- downs to take a 21-point halftime lead. Leading the Trojan offence was Darnell Jarrett with three touchdowns. Justice Johnson (his third of the season) and Tarrick Brissett also recorded majors. Wil- son touchdowns were scored by Cody Sylvester and Daiten Rhone. Pickering: Darnell Jarrett 3TD; Justice Johnson TD; Tarrick Brissett TD; Julius Griffiths 5C Wilson: Cody Sylvester TD; Dait- en Rhone TD; Bailey Jamrik 2C TIER 2 JUNIOR Eastdale (1-0) 35, Bowmanville (0-1) 7 The defending champion Eagles opened the 2012 season with an emphatic win over the Bowmanville Talons. Aaron Young with three majors and Brodie Switzer with two accounted for all five Eastdale touchdowns. Sebastien Malette, handling converts, was a perfect five for five. Brendan Goldsworthy posted the lone Talon touchdown. Ajax (1-0) 52, Uxbridge (0-1) 12 Uxbridge could not contain running back Trey Humes, who romped for all three opening quar- ter majors (on runs of 38, 13 and 19 yards) as the Rams built a 38-0 halftime lead. Alfred Green (90 yards) and Josh Aquas (81 yards) both recorded touchdowns on pass interceptions. Ty Sinclair and Sam Valerie both scored for the Tigers. Ajax: Trey Humes 3TD; Alfred Green TD, 2ptC; Brandon Bissoon TD, 2ptC; Oman Edobar TD, 2ptC; Josh Aguas TD; Gevoni Modeaste 2ptC; Jacob Harrison 2C Uxbridge: Ty Sinclair TD; Sam Valerie TD J. Clarke Richardson (1-0) 33, O’Neill (0-1) 13 Two touchdown efforts by George Goudogianis and Tevin Lawrence paced the Storm to victory over O’Neill. Goudogianis added three converts.

New coach D.J. Smith has certainly found the right recipe for success so far for the Generals, who swept three weekend games and now sit at the top of the league with eight points, thanks to a 4-1 start. The ingredients he’s using include a top line that’s firing on all cylinders, a dynamic winger who’s scoring almost at will, a blue- line that’s steadier than expected, a work- horse in goal, and role players who are all doing their part for the bigger picture. This weekend, it added up to home-ice wins of 5-1 over the Peterborough Petes Fri- day and 7-4 over the Brampton Battalion Sunday, sandwiched between a 5-2 road victory over the Belleville Bulls Saturday, a game Smith called the most complete effort of them all. “Our first full 60-minute game was in Bel- leville,” he said after Sunday’s win, which he was far less impressed with. “We still have spurts here and there, but at the end of the day I really like the makeup of this team.” Smith sure has hit on something by put- ting captain Boone Jenner between two newcomers to the league, 19-year-old Tyler Biggs and 16-year-old rookie Michael Dal Colle. Jenner, in particular, has been dynam- ic, so good in fact it’s likely the Columbus Blue Jackets have taken note. If and when the NHL lockout ends, it will be interest- ing to see what the Blue Jackets do with the 19-year-old centre, whom they drafted in the second round in 2011. Jenner picked up eight points in the three wins, including two goals and an assist Sun- day, and now leads the league in goals with seven, points with 12 and plus-minus with a whopping +11 through five games. “I’m just trying to play my game, work as hard as I can and chip in offensively as well, but it has a lot to do with my teammates,” Jenner said after being named the first star of Sunday’s game. “My linemates I’m playing with are great players, so we’re working well together and I’m getting some good bounc- es and stuff. It’s working out right now.” Biggs, a first-round draft pick of the Toron- to Maple Leafs who played in the NCAA last season, scored his first OHL goal Friday, with Leafs GM Brian Burke looking on from the crowd, then added three more over the weekend, including two Sunday. Dal Colle, the Generals’ first pick in the most recent OHL draft, also notched his first league goal Friday, but more impressively, is second only to Jenner in the league with a +10 rating. “Boone and D.C. are highly skilled guys and Biggsy is the power who grinds it down low, so obviously they have great chemistry and I don’t plan on breaking them up any time soon,” said Smith, who has been per- haps most impressed with Dal Colle, given his age. “I don’t know if you’re going to find an underage kid that plays a more complete game than he does right now.” Beyond that, the whole team is playing well, especially left winger Lucas Lessio, who scored twice on hard, accurate shots Sun- day, Matt Petgrave, who’s leading OHL blue- liners in points (8) and plus-minus (+9), and goalie Daniel Altshuller, who has started all five games, and earned the win Sunday despite not being at his sharpest. While admittedly pleased with the start, Smith recognizes that it is just that: a start. “It’s a 68-game schedule,” he pointed out. “Coming out 4-1 is great, and that sets things up for later when you run into lulls, but that means nothing at the end of the day. It’s where you are at the end of the year. I’m happy with where we’re at right now, but I don’t put a ton of stock into it.” The Generals will face the unbeaten Kings- ton Frontenacs (3-0-0-0) 7:35 p.m. Friday at the GM Centre, then host the Belleville Bulls (2-2-0-0) at 2:05 p.m. Thanksgiving Mon- day. > 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 • Oc t o b e r 4 , 2 0 1 2 20 AP Discover a Richer, More Rewarding Future DISCOVERIMPROVEACHIEVE 1-888-806-1856 Call Today!
