ACUDDLYGIFT is Waiting for You! Charges pending after 13 animals seized Keith GilliGan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Charges are pending after 13 severe- ly neglected horses were seized from a farm in Durham Region last week. Debby Houghton, an animal cruelty investiga- tor with the Society for the Prevention of Cruel- ty to Animals, said the horses -- thoroughbreds, standardbreds and quarter horses -- range in age from six months to 17 years. “I received information about horses in dis- tress and I went to the property. I found many horses in various stages of neglect,” Ms. Hough- ton said. “We’re optimistic,” Ms. Houghton said of the horses recovering. “They’re gaining weight, but they’re still very compromised and emaciated. But, they’re being treated, so yeah, we’re opti- mistic. “The six-month-old horses were severely underweight. They haven’t developed properly. The devel- opment of these horses is so lacking. The emaciation is very disturbing,” she noted. Even with the hors- es gaining weight, bones are still visible and their backs are concaved, she said, adding their fur is also splotching and falling out. “But, they’re eat- ing well and gain- ing weight, so we’re optimistic,” she said. The SPCA and the Humane Society of Durham Region are concerned incidents like this could be the tip of the iceberg, with changes coming in how revenues are divvied up between the provincial government and the horse racing industry. “We’re going to slowly see the fallout of that and the horses will be caught in the middle of that,” Ms. Houghton said, adding people with- in the horse racing industry share that con- cern. The Ontario Racing Commission has been notified of the incident, she said. The horses are now being looked after at a facility and the humane society is appealing for help in covering the costs. “We’ve had high-profile cases. We’re a char- ity and we rely on donations. The horses, we’re boarding them. There are boarding costs, vets, we had their hoofs done,” Ms. Houghton said. It could cost the organization between $6,000 and $7,000 a month to look after the horses, she added. “Anyone who can help us, we would appreciate it,” she said. “Being a charity, it’s very hard for us dealing with these costs.” The humane society will be taking applications in the future for the horses, she said. “We’ll probably have an open house that indi- viduals can participate in to adopt them.” Neglected horses rescued from Durham farm> ‘‘They’re gaining weight, but they’re still very compromised and emaciated.’ Debby Houghton, animal cruelty investigator, SPCA DURHAM -- The Humane Society of Durham Region rescued 13 severely neglected horses from a farm in Durham last week. The horses range in age from six months to 17 years. Officials are optimistic the animals will recover.

Pickering 905-831-2641 The interchange will provide a direct link from the highway to the planned Seaton development, which will include more than 800 acres of employment lands providing a planned 30,000 jobs for up to 70,000 resi- dents. “Seaton is an absolutely critical area of future development for the city of Pickering,” said MP Chris Alexander. “It is one of the bright spots in the bright future of the GTA, but the success of Seaton depends on the transportation corridor.” The project will be funded through the Provincial-Territorial Base Fund, with the provincial government overseeing the proj- ect, since much of the Seaton lands are pro- vincially-owned. “Once Seaton is developed we will work with the 407 to create this interchange for greater access to the highway in the com- munity,” said MPP Joe Dickson. “More than 40 years have gone into the develop- ment of Seaton and opening of the employ- ment lands, and with this project residents and business will have highway access and greater connectivity.” Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said the announcement of the first key piece of infrastructure for the Seaton development means the long-gestating project is a “real- ity. “This is very important because it’s the beginning of servicing for the employ- ment lands, it’s extremely important we not become a bedroom community with anoth- er 60,000 people coming to us,” he said, not- ing he’d like to see Pickering’s focus on envi- ronment, engineering and energy business- es expand to the employment lands, but is welcoming all businesses. “I’d like to see high-end manufacturing, office space and it would be ideal if we had a provincial ministry located here,” he said. “I see opportunities for anybody really, the financial sector, biochemical, pharmaceuti- cal. The key message is the City of Pickering is open for business and we have exciting opportunities along the 407 corridor.” While several components of the Seaton development remain before the OMB, a key dispute between the Province and the Region of Durham on employment and population numbers for the development is set to be settled by the end of November after both parties resolved the issue. City staff estimates construction could begin in Seaton by 2015. “We are shovel-ready,” Mayor Ryan said. “Seaton is coming to fruition and it’s com- ing rapidly.” PICKERING from page 1 Pickering interchange a direct link to Seaton Make us your facebook friend >> newsdurham -- durhamregion.com sabrina byrnes / metroland PICKERING -- MPP Joe Dickson, MP Chris Alexander, Mayor Dave Ryan and Regional Chairman Roger Anderson shook hands at an announcement on Nov. 14, regarding a new interchange to be constructed on Hwy. 407 in Pickering. 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 • No v e m b e r 1 5 , 2 0 1 2 5 APWinter Safety Starts with Winter Tires All season and summer tires take longer to stop at or below 7 degrees Celsius…EVEN ON DRY PAVEMENT.

One suspect has been arrested in connection with the incident, which began at about 7 p.m. last Friday when the victim, a 22-year-old Pickering man, was abducted as he walked home from the Pickering Town Centre, Durham police said. Several suspects forced the victim into the back seat of a car, beating him and demanding to know where he kept his marijuana, police said. The man was robbed of his personal belongings and dropped off on Orchard Road in Ajax. He made his way to a rela- tive’s house and called police, but by that time his Pickering apartment had been ransacked, police said. The victim, a licensed medical marijuana user, was treated for minor injuries at hos- pital. A police investigation led to the arrest of a suspect as he left a Pickering restaurant at about 4:20 a.m. Tuesday. Jon Miller, 30, of Marshcourt Drive in Pickering, is charged with kidnapping, rob- bery, breach of probation and driving while under suspension. Pickering pot grower kidnapped, robbed AJAX -- Having working smoke alarms in your home can increase your chances of surviving a fire by up to 50 per cent. Ajax Fire and Emergency Services is reminding residents that working smoke alarms are required by law on each storey of a home and outside all sleeping areas. The requirement applies to all homes, cot- tages, cabins or recreational vehicles. “Despite improving building codes and heightened public fire safety awareness, numerous people across our province lose their life in a fire every year,” said Kyle Chamberlain, Ajax fire prevention inspec- tor. “Often a working smoke alarm could have prevented many of those deaths.” In the event of a fire, working smoke alarms provide early warning, allowing people time to escape or call for help. The department recommends replacing smoke alarms after 10 years, testing alarms monthly and changing batteries twice a year when clocks change in the spring and fall. Cleaning alarms twice a year is also rec- ommended, by opening an alarm’s cover and gently vacuuming its interior, without touching the vacuum to the unit.

It reminds us there isn’t just one way of looking at some- thing. Pickering’s Nicolle Georgiev and her two- year-old daughter have challenged our image of a princess. Think of every princess you’ve seen in cartoons and in animated films: they generally have long, perfect hair. Sophia Megan has no hair, but she’s still a princess. And the Pickering mom’s gift to Sophia this summer has struck a chord in people. Ms. Georgiev received the news this sum- mer every parent dreads: her daughter has leukemia. And while Sophia’s prognosis is very good, that doesn’t mean she won’t face some tough days ahead. “Ultimately she’s going to be fine, but she’s going to suffer through treatments for the next two years and that’s hard to watch,” Ms. Georgiev told us. “She’s a tough cookie, she’s been amazing through all this. We try not to treat her like she’s sick because she’s still a child, she just wants to play.” To cheer her up after Sophia lost her hair to chemotherapy treatments, Ms. Georgiev made her a special present for her birthday this summer. A creative type who says she’s “always made stuff,” Ms. Georgiev fashioned a princess purse that looks like a ballerina’s tutu. When she posted a photo of Sophia and the purse to her Facebook group, Super Sophia, requests for the design started com- ing -- and coming. “It was crazy, everyone was e-mailing say- ing they wanted one for their daughter. I left my job when Sophia started treatment so I figured I might as well do this for now, and the requests have kept coming in.” In addition to making purses, Ms. Georgiev is working on fun, patterned scrubs for kids, originally conceived to make Sophia’s hospi- tal visits a bit sunnier, and a children’s book featuring a bald princess. “All the images we see of princesses have all this hair, I want them to know they’re still princesses, they’re bald princesses. We’re kind of reworking that traditional image.” The timing for her new business couldn’t have been better, as Ms. Georgiev has expens- es related to Sophia’s hospital visits. But this isn’t just a money-making venture: she has set her sights high, aiming to inform people about the disease while driving home an important message. “I hope to educate people about the dis- ease, because it can happen to anybody, like it did to us. The message is you’re still a prin- cess, hair or no hair.” It’s always nice to see people or groups who do good things get rewarded. So I’m sending congratulations to Durham’s public libraries which just won the Best Creative Collaboration Award at last Friday’s Durham Art of Transition Creative Awards ceremony at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. The libraries won for Pass the Book, a reading program designed to get peo- ple in all eight municipalities reading, discussing and recommending the same book and the eight libraries promoting the book and running events around the book. Each year the libraries pick one book and encour- age as many people as possible to read it, talk about it and suggest others read it. This year’s book was Fauna, by Alissa York, a novel about people and wildlife and the many ways they interact, both good and bad, in the Don Val- ley in Toronto. Libraries offered up visits from the author and also ran programs based on animals, from “wild” storytimes for children to edu- cation programs about care of pets to the showing of documentaries. One library also brought in a Canada Borders Services Agen- cy officer to talk about smuggling of animals, appropriate since one of the humans in the book is a CBSA officer. There’s a website dedicated to Pass the Book, www.passthebook.ca, and libraries posted photos of people from the community reading the book. There were also prizes up for grabs. This is a great program and I’m glad the libraries were recognized for their efforts to enrich Durham’s literary culture and to connect Durham’s communities. I’m a big fan of libraries and have been for years. When I was a child, the library in the village I grew up in was a regular stop for me. I was there almost every Saturday, taking out an armful of books and racing home to read them. Once I was older, I’d also take out books for my dad, who worked Satur- days and didn’t get much chance to visit the library. I swear I read my way through most of that library before I left home for university. (I just Googled Frankford Public Library and found out it’s part of Quinte West Public Library and is closed for renovations.) So congratulations once again, Durham libraries. Keep up the good work. And I’ll be waiting to hear about Pass the Book 2013. -- Christy Chase is a copy editor at Metroland Media Group Durham Region Division. She’s about to start Room by Emma Donoghue.

Keith GilliGan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A Regional committee has rejected a request to review Durham council’s composition, but the matter might not be over. The members of the Region’s finance and administration committee were dead- locked at 3-3 on Tuesday about doing the review. A tie vote is considered a loss, as a majority is needed for approval. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson was seeking to have the review done and he was supported by Whitby Councillor Don Mitchell and Ajax Councillor Shaun Collier. Opposing a review were Oshawa councillors Bob Chapman and Nancy Diamond, and Scugog Councillor Bobbie Drew. Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster and Pickering Councillor Jennifer O’Connell were absent. While the request was turned down at the committee level, it could still come before Regional council on Nov. 21. For that to happen, two-thirds of the 28 coun- cillors, or 18 of them, would have to agree to having the matter discussed. In June of last year, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish asked for a similar review, but it was defeated by a 17-9 vote. In that vote, all eight Oshawa councillors and five of the six councillors from the three northern communities -- Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge -- voted against a review. Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor was absent from the meeting. Mr. Anderson said of his review request, “Mayor Parish brought it up, but we were going through ROPA (Regional Official Plan Amendment) 128 and Seaton. There wasn’t a lot of time to put into this.” A review would look at the size of coun- cil, as well as how many councillors each municipality would have, he added. “Once we form the committee, the com- mittee would be open to making a deci- sion. It’s up to them.” Mr. Anderson said. Coun. Mitchell said he supported a review, provided each of the three north- ern municipalities retained their two rep- resentatives each. Coun. Chapman said in an interview he didn’t support the review because the matter was dealt with last year. “It was heavily debated and lost. It lost and not by a slim margin,” he said. Mayor Parish pushed the issue last year and Coun. Chapman said the Town is “looking for more representatives. What happens when we start building Seaton (in north Pickering)? “Why is it being brought up again when it was debated before? It was a dead issue back then and that’s where it should stay, at least in this term,” Coun. Chapman said.

On September 11, 2012, the Ontario Liberal government passed Bill 115, the Putting Students First Act, 2012. Bill 115 is undemocratic, unconstitutional, and unprecedented. •It takes away the democratic rights of teachers and education professionals to bargain collectively. •It places the government beyond the reach of the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Ontario Labour Relations Act, and even the courts. •It takes local decision-making away from school boards and puts it in the hands of the provincial government. That’s why we’re standing against Bill 115. It sets a dangerous precedent for all Ontarians. In fact, the government has already threatened other public sector workers with similar legislation. As teachers, we teach your children to stand up for their principles. Today, we ask you to do the same. What can you do to help? Join us in standing up for democratic rights. Let your MPP know that Bill 115 must be repealed.

Students will be assigned to different groups and participate in five different sessions throughout the morning, fol- lowed by an action-planning work peri- od in the afternoon.

She’s declawed and prefers no other cats. For more information call the humane society at 905-665-7430. KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com The Humane Society of Durham Region is now caring for 13 animals that are larger than those it usually rescues. I was horrified to hear about the conditions the eight horses and five ponies were found in, somewhere in Dur- ham Region, last week. They ranged in age from six months to 17 years, and their bones were protruding, obviously emaciated. The young ones haven’t developed properly and animal cruelty investigator Debby Houghton called the situation “disturbing.” She’s optimistic about their recovery but said it will cost between $6,000 and $7,000 a month to look after these poor majestic creatures. These costs includes board, vet care and blacksmith fees. This is not something that the humane society can han- dle easily -- it’s still paying off its debt for its new facility and cares for tons of cats, dogs and other animals on a reg- ular basis. I’m glad somebody called the humane society about these horses. I don’t want to imagine what would have become of them if Debby hadn’t stepped in. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the humane society are concerned there will be more inci- dents like this. Changes are coming in how revenues are divvied up between the provincial government and the horse racing industry, and Ms. Houghton said they’re afraid the horses will be caught in the middle. There’s also concern for the lack of feed existing after last summer’s drought. So please keep your eyes open for anything unusual regarding horses in the area. Please report any incidents of cruelty or neglect to the humane society at 905-665-7430. This is also a great reason to donate to the charity. If inter- ested, visit humanedurham.com.

All proceeds go toward the charity’s goal of opening a low-cost spay and neuter clinic in Durham. There is a misconception that dogs and cats can with- stand low temperatures just because they have fur. In fact, in cold temperatures, frostbite can occur in less than an hour. Pets can develop frostbite on the tips of their ears, tails, face, foot pads, and even genetalia. Puppies, senior pets & smaller pets with less fur are most at risk. In severe cases, frost bite may result in loss of limbs, ears, or even death. Do not leave your pets outside during cold temperatures. If you notice Ask the Vet: Safety tips to prevent frostbiteWritten by Dr. Melanie Dell www. pethealthnetwork.com any signs of weakness, shivering, discol- oration in your pet’s skin, or are concerned about hypothermia or frostbite, please con- tact your veterinarian immediately for care. For more information please visit: Visitor from out west drops by MARGARET CARNEY “We normally put our hummingbird feeders away at the end of September, but I read an article that we should leave them out two weeks after seeing the last hummingbird, in order to assist stragglers coming from the north,” wrote Cheryl O’Donnell of Bowmanville. “It is now Nov. 1 and we still have at least one hummer coming to the feeder many times a day. Will she leave when it is time for her to go?” A hummingbird in Ontario in November? Our ruby-throats go streaming south in September, on their way to Mexico for the winter. Cheryl’s e-mail likely meant one thing: that it wasn’t a ruby-throat, the only species that manages to fly 800 kilometres across the Gulf of Mex- ico and breed throughout eastern North America, taking advantage of great amounts of nectar pro- duced in our flower-filled summer. “This is the time of year when rare rufous hum- mers, vagrants from out west, sometimes show up,” I wrote back. “What does your humming- bird look like?” And so began a back-and-forth flurry of e-mails and photos that confirmed the O’Donnells’ visitor, browner and slightly plump- er than other hummers that had visited their nec- tar feeder since it showed up in mid-August, was indeed different, an adult female of the Selaspho- rus family. A bird that had somehow, by some shift of wind or trick of the jet stream, flown 2,000 kilo- metres east instead of south after nesting season. Close examination by a licensed expert who gladly made the trip to Bowmanville to see the intrepid little celebrity confirmed that she was a rufous, which breed all the way up the Pacific Northwest into Alaska, and not a look-alike Allen’s, which nest along the California coast. Both species winter in southern Mexico. Rufous hummingbirds are known to be hardy, flying over high mountain passes in the Rockies. And they’re feisty, making sure they get their fair share of nectar at any feeder they come across. Obviously, the O’Donnells’ bird settled in happily, guzzling their sugar water many times a day, and snapping up hapless spiders and small insects she came across. As to her odds for survival if she lingered, with winter coming on ... not so good. Many hum- mers have the ability to enter a torpid state on cold nights, slowing their breathing and heart rate and dropping their body temperature. But it’s probably a good thing that she finally took off. “The last time we saw her was Nov. 8,” Cheryl reported. “It went to 4 below the night before and she drank a lot in the morning and we haven’t seen her since then. I hope she decided it was time to get out of town and go south.” Hopefully, the warm weather we had over the weekend aided her flight. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks.net or 905- 725-2116.

To be sure, the Pickering native loves her hockey and takes each opportunity to hold down the fort between the pipes for the Ridgebacks in a serious manner, but this game was about more than just hockey. It was Remembrance Day, and for Lara- bie somewhat of an emotional experience to be playing less than a week after her sis- ter, Master Cpl. Holly Larabie, returned from a nine-month tour of duty in Afghan- istan. Armed with the knowledge that her sis- ter was home and safe after spending a majority of the year overseas, the veteran netminder did her thing in goal, stopping 27 shots and backstoping the Ridgebacks to a 5-1 victory over the York Lions. “It was pretty emotional trying to fight back tears and pride and all that emo- tion, but it was great in that we said right from the beginning that we were going to try and win this one for her and all of the other soldiers who came home that day,” Larabie says of the experience, part of which saw her sister recognized in a pre- game Remembrance Day ceremony. “It was great that we could pull it out.” Though Master Cpl. Larabie, a member of the 2 Service Battalion, wasn’t able to attend the game in person, she did catch her sister’s performance through the live web streaming of the game. It was the same way she attempted to keep tabs on her sister during deployment. “I was hoping for a shutout for her, but unfortunately they got one by me,” the goaltender says with a laugh. The last nine months, though, were any- thing but a laughing matter. While the group of soldiers Master Cpl. Larabie was deployed with was the first major group sent overseas since the conclusion of the Canadian combat mission in July 2011, the fact she was over there at all made for some very tough days for the Larabie fam- ily. And especially for Jessica. “We’re very close, only like a year-and- a-half apart. When she’s home we talk like every single day. We’re very, very close, so to all of the sudden not have a reliant means of communication was tough,” she recalls. “Skype doesn’t work and Facebook was sketchy. E-mail was the most reliant I guess, but even phone calls would cut out. Everyday just waiting to hear from her on a call and if she doesn’t, you’re wondering what’s going on? Why didn’t she call? “It was a very emotional nine months. I think a lot of people don’t realize that while they are going through so much over there, the people at home are also going through a lot with the worrying and not really knowing a whole lot of what’s going on,” Larabie adds. “It was very, very diffi- cult. Luckily we have a huge support sys- tem in my family and we all got through it together and luckily it was a good experi- ence.” Master Cpl. Larabie, who returned to CFB Trenton on Nov. 6, served as a mobile support equipment operator and was sta- tioned in Kabul. Her fiance, Sgt. Josh Ward, had previously spent two tours in Afghani- stan, stationed in Kandahar. But now that everyone is home safe, the Larabies can rest easy and smile. “She is our whole family’s hero and it’s great to have her home,” Larabie says. > A day to remember PHOTO BY AL FOURNIER OSHAWA -- UOIT Ridgebacks goalie Jessica Larabie backstopped her team to a 5-1 victory on Remembrance Day. Larabie’s sister Holly just returned last week from a nine-month tour of duty in Afghanistan. One 2 Watch AJAX -- Matthew Scobie’s status on the golf course just took another positive step forward. The 17 year old from Ajax has been named to Team Canada’s 2013 development squad. Selection takes place in November of each year, and is based on objective performance results. The intention of the program is to pro- vide the best possible support and services to athletes and assist them in attaining their long- and short-term goals. Scobie will make his debut on the develop- ment squad after a strong season north and south of the border. He made it through to the semifinals of the USGA Junior Amateur this year and posted a fifth-place finish at the Canadian junior boys’ championship. Scobie also competed at the CJGA Canadi- an International Junior Challenge where he tied for second. The Ajax High School gradu- ate has a com- mitment to attend Houston University on a golf scholar- ship in the fall of 2013. Each play- er commits to the Golf Can- ada develop- ment program through an athlete agree- ment designed to create formal guidelines as to the expected behavior for ath- letic excellence. Standards for participation, anti-doping, amateur status, behavior and dis- cipline, anti-harassment, travel, equipment and team uniforms are all clearly set out in these guidelines. The Team Canada program is year-round in scope and encompasses fitness, sports psy- chology, nutrition, technique, equipment and international competition. A full-time national coach and part-time assistant coach work with the development team. Each player receives a personalized pro- gram tailored towards his or her needs and in turn each team member is expected to be fully committed to the program with the goal of becoming one of the top-ranked amateur golfers worldwide. Competition schedules are reviewed and approved by the national coaching staff and tournament exemptions are sourced. A battery of physical tests is done three times per year, improvement plans are implemented and physical data is tracked on- line in a database. Team members obtain the latest test- ing results, feedback and recommendations regarding clubs and balls to suit their swing and launch characteristics. Golf Canada believes that players involved with Team Canada will be much better pre- pared to qualify and compete at internation- al events and/or go on to a professional golf career. 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 • No v e m b e r 1 5 , 2 0 1 2 21 AP Jessica Larabie makes 27 saves just days after sister returns home from Afghanistan Scobie named to Canada golf team MATTHEW SCOBIE 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 • No v e m b e r 1 5 , 2 0 1 2 22 AP Ajax & Pickering Locations 279 Kingston Rd.

Panthers return home with Motown Cup championship Atom AE team blanks Mooretown in final game DETROIT -- The Pickering Pan- thers minor atom AE team trav- elled to Detroit compete in the Squirt/AE 03 division of the Motown Cup and came away as champions. The team came out strong and won its first game in convincing fashion over the Redford Royals 7-2. The Kitchener Jr. Rangers got the best of Pickering on Saturday morning and the boys fell short by a score of 4-3. Needing a tie or win against the Mooretown Storm in the final round-robin game to advance to the finals, the boys played great in a battle of two evenly matched teams that ended up in a 6-6 tie. With that tie, Pickering advanced to face the undefeated Moore- town Storm in the finals. A goal in Submitted photo DETROIT, MICHIGAN -- The Pickering Panthers atom AE team won the Motown Cup in Detroit. each of the first and second peri- ods, great team hustle, and some outstanding goaltending by Ethan McKellar, named the finals MVP, gave the Pickering Panthers a 2-0 win in the championship game. The boys making up the team are Bradley Cameron, Brendan O’Donnell, Bryce Thakore, Chris- tian Rappos, David Kolyn-Tough, Ethan Gillis, Ethan McKellar, Evan Graham, Jack Papadopou- los, Jonathan Lopez, Lino Malan- drino, Lucas Paul, Lucas Vincen- zi, Marcus Mintsopoulos, Oshaye McMeo, Ryan Quigley, Stefan Soosaipillai and Taylor Temple- ton. Head coach of the team is Kyle Fredericks and he is assist- ed by Kyle Cope, Brendan Cleary, Chris Nickle and trainer Ryan McKellar. >Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Larry Blunt says his Oshawa Power is a team bereft of a superstar. But, in his eyes at least, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Rather, the head coach of the Power, sees it as something of an advantage that his team can build around early in this NBL Canada season. “We don’t have a superstar. Our strength is in our team and it’s hard to prepare for a team when you never know who is going to get 15 or 20,” Blunt said on Saturday fol- lowing a 106-87 victory over the Windsor Express at the General Motors Centre. “We’ll play every- one on our bench, from top man to bottom. We’re going to play every- one and it’s going to be a different guy’s night every night.” Evidence of that was on display Saturday. A total of 10 different players saw action for the Power in the victory, with seven of them scoring in dou- ble figures, led by the 15 from point guard Nick Okorie. Amani Daanish, William Harris and Mark Gomillia each had 14, while Larry Diamond and Papa Oppong chipped in with 12. Rounding things out was Jushay Rockett with an 11-point effort that also included six rebounds and three blocked shots. The effort was pleasing in many ways for the Power. One, it came in their home opener and, two, it helped erase the memory of an ugly loss on the road against the London Lightning just two nights prior. “We went up there and lost to a really, really good team,” Blunt said of the 121-95 defeat last Thursday. “I think sometimes you can learn from losses and our guys came in here really focused and prepared. We started realizing that we need each other. When we figured that out I think our team got better and we put that behind us, using it as an opportunity to get better.” Just how much better they’ve got- ten in the last week will be put to the test tonight as the Power get another crack at London, with the Lightning paying a visit to the GM Centre, led by former Oshawa star Morgan Lewis, who dropped in 20 points and 11 rebounds in last week’s victory. Following the London rematch, the Power (2-1) have a busy week- end ahead with a game at home Saturday night against the Sum- merside Storm before heading east for a Sunday afternoon tilt with the Moncton Miracles.

Tier One Junior Pickering 19, Holy Trinity 18 The Pickering Trojans and Holy Trinity Titans were meeting for the third time this season and given the fact that the two previous games had seen one point differences in the final quarter, one should not have been surprised when the teams were once again engaged in a one-point game. The Titans had opened up a 12-0 lead on a first-quarter touchdown run by league MVP Nathan Jones (32 yards) and a second-quarter fumble recovery in the end zone by Mikey Akeson. Thirty-seven seconds following Akeson’s touch- down, Darnel Jarrett unleashed a 51-yard run to cut the lead in half. The first half concluded with Jus- tice Johnson being forced out of bounds at the Titans two-yard line. Following intermission, Johnson returned the second-half kickoff 65 yards to knot the score at 12. His convert gave the Trojans their first lead of the game. Trinity responded with a touchdown by Nathan Jones, his second, from two yards out with just over three minutes remaining in the third quarter. Less than two minutes later, the Trojans recap- tured the lead on a 26-yard run by Kesean Bennett. The fourth quar- ter saw the teams exchange posses- sions until the Titans started their third long drive of the game and moved the ball deep into Pickering territory. With 29 seconds on the clock, the Titans were inside the Trojan 15-yard line, and coach Lyons called for a game-winning field goal attempt. The attempt was blocked and the junior Trojans narrowly escaped with their record 10th LOSSA football title. The victory earns the Trojans a berth in the Ontario regional junior football championship. They are scheduled to host Assumption Col- lege School (Brantford) in quar- ter-final play. The game is tenta- tively scheduled for Friday, Nov. 16 at noon. Location will either be Pickering High School or Oshawa Civic Field. Tier Two Junior Ajax 5, J. Clarke Richardson 0 The Ajax Rams held off a furi- ous final-minute drive by J. Clarke Richardson to capture the Tier II junior championship. The two teams fought to a score- less draw through the opening half of play. The Rams were kept deep in their end of the field thanks to a couple of strategically placed punts by George Goudogianis. The sec- ond quarter saw the Rams step it up a notch offensively, however the Storm defence came up big with a fumble recovery by Tevin Law- rence and an interception by J’van Manhertz, keeping the game level. Ajax, led offensively by league MVP Trey Humes, was finally able to move the ball into field-goal position with just over two minutes remaining in the third quarter. Tris- ten Wilson was called upon to kick a field goal which broke the tie and gave the Rams a slim three-point cushion. Pinned deep in their own zone with five minutes remaining, Richardson elected to concede a safety and rely on their defence get- ting the ball back. The two points credited to Jacob Harrison extend- ed the Ajax lead to five. Richard- son was able to get the ball back with a minute remaining when Wahid Ibrahimi recovered a Ram fumble. The Storm then quick- ly marched the ball down inside the Ajax 10-yard line with 20 sec- onds remaining. Needing a touch- down for the win, the Ram defence held strong as a Richardson run- ning play fell five yards short of the house, giving the Rams their sec- ond Tier II title in the past five sea- sons.
