The garden’s seeds were first planted just two years ago at Diana Princess of Wales Park behind the Pickering Recreation Com- plex and the amount of people using the plots has exploded, reaching around 75 users in its third season. In fact, it’s become so popular that a second garden has been created closer to Kingston Road. “It’s more than just a garden,” said Tim Weber, who started gardening a plot last year. “It truly is a community contribution.” Not only does the garden attract people of all backgrounds, promote sustainable com- munities and fresh, organic foods, and allow seniors to get exercise and socialize, but it also helps to feed those in need throughout Ajax and Pickering. “We sort of wanted to give back to the community,” Mr. Weber said. Last year Ontario Power Generation start- ed a plot and donated all of the produce, including tomatoes, radishes, beets, let- tuce, beans, zucchini and cucumbers, to the Saint Paul’s On-the-Hill Community Food Bank. Allen’s Independent Grocer at Dixie Road and Finch Avenue in Pickering has donated the seeds to OPG, which will sup- ply the food bank with fresh produce once again this year. This year Valley Plentiful has also decided to manage a plot for the food bank itself. “We’re also encouraging the other garden- ers to contribute,” Mr. Weber said. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Rae Coulter, of St. Paul on the Hill food bank, sorted through some recent donations of fresh produce from people using Pickering’s community garden.See CLIENT page 4 TRAFFIC 3 Drive safely Durham police, OPP stepping up focus on drivers SUMMER FUN 5 Beach postings Where you can swim this weekend ENTERTAINMENT 15 Young artist in spotlight Kiwi paints Canada 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 • Ju l y 3 0 , 2 0 1 0 2 P 4HE¬PHYSICAL¬CHANGE¬¬ IN¬ME¬IS¬OBVIOUS¬BUT¬ WHAT¬)¬FEEL¬INSIDE¬IS¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬MORE¬PROFOUND¬¬ )¬FEEL¬IN¬CONTROL¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬ CONlDENT¬AND¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬COMFORTABLE¬IN¬¬ ¬¬¬MY¬OWN¬SKIN "RENDA -APLE¬2IDGE¬"# ¬,"3¬,/34 ÜÊ>ÊÕµÕiÊ«À}À>ÊL>Ãi`ÊÊÞÕÀÊi>ÌÊÃÌ>Ìi]ÊviÃÌÞiÊ>`Êii`ÃÊ ViÛiÊÌiÊÀ}ÌÊ`ÊvÊÜi}ÌÊÃÃÊÌ>Ì½ÃÊÃ>viÊ>`Ê>ÃÌ} ÞÊÀi>Êv`ÊvÀÊi>ÃÞ]Ê`iVÕÃÊ>`ÊL>>Vi`ÊÀiV«iÃ ,iViÛiÊ«iÀÃ>]ÊiiÊÃÕ««ÀÌÊ>`ÊÌÛ>Ì >ÝâiÊÞÕÀÊiiÀ}ÞÊ>`ÊL>>ViÊÞÕÀÊÀiÊiÛiÃ ÀiiÊÞÕÀÊL`ÞÊvÊ>ÀvÕÊÌÝÃÊ>`ÊVÀ>Û}Ã «ÀÛiÊÞÕÀÊi>ÌÊ>`Ê>Û`ÊÌiÊÀÃÊvÊVÀVÊ`Ãi>Ãi 7iÊÌiÀÊÜi}ÌÊÃÃÊ«À}À>ÃÊ>ÀiÊ`iÃ}i`ÊÌÊÜÀÊvÀ¬%6%29/.%]ÊÌiÊ 5¬ 7EIGHT¬ ,OSS Ê «À}À>ÃÊ >ÀiÊ LÕÌÊ >`Ê VÕÃÌâi`Ê L>Ãi`Ê Ê i>VÊ ViÌ½ÃÊ 0%23/.!,Ê ii`Ã°Ê "ÕÀÊ ÃViViL>Ãi`Ê >`Ê `VÌÀvÀÕ>Ìi`Ê «À}À>ÃÊ >ÀiÊ `iÃ}i`Ê ÜÌÊ ÞÕÀÊ ÕµÕiÊ }iiÌVÊ >iÕ«]Ê iÌ>LÃ]Ê L>ÀÀiÀÃÊ ÌÊ Üi}ÌÊ ÃÃ]Ê>`Êi>ÌÊV>i}iÃÊÊ`°Ê Ý«iÀiViÊÌiÊ5¬$)&&%2%.#%Ê>`Ê>ViÛiÊ i>ÌÞ]Ê À>«`Ê >`Ê >ÃÌ}Ê ÀiÃÕÌÃÊ ÜÌÊ >Ê «À}À>Ê Ì>Ì½ÃÊ VÕÃÌâi`Ê vÀÊ 5° #HRIS 3ASKATOON¬3+¬ ¬,"3¬,/34 1Ê7 /Ê"--ÁÊ Ê"Ê* , Ê £xxäÊ -/" Ê,"]Ê1 /Ê££ÊÊÊÊÊÊ /i\Êäx°nÎ£°{n{ÊÊÊÊÊÊ >\ÊÕ«ViÀ}JÕÜi}ÌÃÃ°V "6 ,ÊÈxÊ" /" -Ê ,"--Ê Ê Ê,"7 t ÜÜÜ°LiViÕ>}>°V .O¬OBLIGATION¬-UST¬BE¬¬YEARS¬OF¬AGE¬OR¬OLDER¬ 1 7 / "-- Á " * , -/,/Ê/"9°Ê ""Ê9"1,ÊÊ 0%23/.!,¬(%!,4(9¬7%)'(4¬!.!,93)3¬ Ê /ÊÊ&2%%¬$%4/8¬¬#,%!.3%Ê* ÊÊ ",ÊÊ&2%%¬5¬9/'!¬$6$t / ¬¬ / Ê" ,t 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 • Ju l y 3 0 , 2 0 1 0 4 P Golf on the NORTH COURSE between 1pm and 3pm and receive a FREE DINNER at the Gem Room Restaurant.

Food bank director Rae Coulter showed off the zucchini, peppers, toma- toes, beans, rhubarb and other produce volunteers were about to hand out on July 27, “They really do the best that they can,” she said of Valley Plentiful. Customers get the produce on a first- come, first-served basis. Saint Paul’s client base has grown by about 30 per cent in the past year. “I’ve never been up that much,” Ms. Coulter said. This May, 246 families used the food bank, compared to 186 in June 2009. In July 2009, 145 families lined up for the food bank’s help. “I’m already up to 127 and we’ve still got two more weeks to go,” Ms. Coulter said. The food bank plans to open one night a week in September, on top of the two mornings each week it normally hands out food, to support the growing need. The food bank mostly needs flour, sugar, pasta sauce, canned veggies, tea, coffee, rice and canned fruit. In the summer, it’s open every Tuesday morning for donations, and is located at 1537 Pickering Pkwy.

Tim Weber, Valley Plentiful Community Garden Durham Region sets timing for its 2011 budget DURHAM -- Property owners should circle March 9, 2011 on the calendar. That’s the day Durham Regional Coun- cil is expected to approve its 2011 bud- get, including the property tax increase for next year. What increase councillors and staff will be aiming for won’t be known until Jan. 26 of next year. That’s when the budget guideline will be approved by Regional council. This year, the Region raised taxes 2.15 per cent. For a house assessed at $299,100, that worked out to $47. For the past few years, Regional bud- gets have been finalized in February, but it’s being pushed back about three weeks next year. The municipal election is in October of this year and Regional council won’t be meeting in October and November. 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 • Ju l y 3 0 , 2 0 1 0 5 Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE Grab Table 75%Off PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING LEASE EXPIREDLEASE EXPIRED STORE CLOSING SALESALE Bring a friend and Bring a friend and shareshare a bargain!a bargain! 30% OFFOFF or or 2 FOR 12 FOR 1 QUALITY SHOESQUALITY SHOES CLARK • ROCKPORT • ECCO • AMALFI R.

All content copyright At the peak of the summer season res- idents from across Durham are prepar- ing for the Civic Holiday long weekend. They’re packing family vans and campers for a weekend of communing with the great outdoors in cottage coun- try campsites. They’re preparing to host friends or visit locally, perhaps spending part of the weekend around the back- yard pool. Still others will be spending a day at the beach, or visiting a local attraction, or heading out to the neighourhood tav- ern’s patio to spend time with friends, listen to music and share a drink. These are the pursuits that make sum- mer long weekends memorable. Sadly, these same pursuits can lead to tragedy: in the pool, at the beach, on a provincial highway. Make a vow today, before you head out for your weekend, to practise safety and use common sense. If you’re on the highways, make sure you and your passengers are proper- ly belted in. If you’re pulling a trailer, ensure the contents are securely fas- tened to avoid creating a hazard on the road. In the water -- at the beach or in the pool -- knowledge of your surround- ings and supervision are vitally impor- tant. Ontario has seen a spike in drown- ings so far this summer -- there were 10 deaths in 10 days last month -- under- scoring the need for common sense and awareness when near any bodies of water. Never leave children unattended, even if they can swim. And if your long weekend includes driving a boat, new legislation requires possession of an operator’s card. If you choose to drink and boat, however, you risk losing all driving privileges in Ontar- io. To that end, the Durham Regional Police Service and OPP will be patrol- ling the region’s roadways and water- ways, targeting those who drive aggres- sively, ignore safety regulations and take the wheel -- of a boat or a car -- after drinking alcohol. Long weekends are tailor made for summer. They should be the best of times that lead to relaxation and redis- covery, a time to reconnect with friends and family, or commune with nature. By using common sense, abiding by the rules and taking the necessary safety precautions we can all build memories of the great weekend we shared. Don’t drink and drive. Make sure auto- motive passengers are securely belted in and that boat passengers are wearing properly fitted flotation devices. Don’t dive into unfamiliar water and cheerful- ly share the road with fellow travellers. It’s the long weekend. Be safe and have fun. Here are some of the things I know about a 17-year-old youth gunned down in Ajax last week: he loved language and poetry, he helped classmates with French homework, he dreamed of becoming a rapper and had a big gig this Friday in Oshawa. I never met Chris “Splitz” Tshilombo but I know what he looked like, what he sound- ed like and what his friends thought of him because it’s all captured online. His music is on YouTube and like many much bigger artists he created a fan page for his music on Facebook. And after his death the number of people who “like” his fan page or view and comment on his videos keeps growing. Commenters have dubbed him one of the best young rappers in Dur- ham and they mourn his death with daily messages. This kind of public outpouring of grief is nothing new in the world of social media, for a whole generation of people the natural instinct after someone passes is to visit their Facebook page and leave a message. These pages become impromptu memo- rials where people share their sadness. In some cases, people even send their loved ones private messages and e-mails, despite knowing that they’ll never get a response. As it stands Facebook does not delete pro- files of members who have died and so for now they remain a snapshot of lives frozen in time, never to be updated. In some cases, profiles will see a flurry of comments each year on the anniversary of a person’s death. In fact, four years ago, a blog called mydeathspace.com launched specifically to link public deaths to social media pro- files. Initially, the blog connected mainly MySpace pages to news articles detailing murders and accidents. The victims were generally young, in their late teens and 20s. The site occasionally included suicides, cancer victims and drug overdoses. The site now links to Facebook pages as well and includes celebrity deaths. It’s also become more interactive with readers post- ing their own links in the forums. It’s all somewhat macabre, but it repre- sents the very real curiosity the public has about death and dying. If pressed, I think many people will admit to searching Face- book when they hear about headline-mak- ing deaths. Facebook’s ubiquitous ‘Rest-in- Peace’ groups often garner hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of members when the death is public, particularly if it involves a child. Examples include the death of Tori Stafford in Woodstock and Keagan Davis, the toddler found dead in January in Oshawa. Keagan’s RIP group has more than 5,000 members. In many cases the members of the group have a tenuous connection with the victims; perhaps they know a relative, or they’re complete strangers who would normally have no other place to express sympathy. In the case of Chris Tshilombo, a dozen bouquets and a handful of notes were left in the parking lot of St. Nedela’s church where he died. Those tokens are far outnumbered by the notes and photos posted online. Ultimately, these days we share our lives online and it seems our loved ones will share our deaths there as well. -- Contact Ajax reporter Reka Szekely on Facebook, follow her on Twitter @rszekely or e-mail her at rszekely@durhamregion.com Death and mourning have become a part of life online Reka Szekely Let common sense guide you this holiday weekend Residents take to streets to demand accountability JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Protesters took to the streets of Pickering Saturday, complaining council’s abandon- ment of the fight against the so- called Big Pipe doesn’t meet the sniff test. “We thought the mayor was lead- ing a fight on our behalf,” dem- onstrator and mayoral candidate Maurice Brenner said as a group of residents, toting signs with slo- gans like ‘Stop The Stink’ and ‘Stop York’s Crap From Flowing Into Pickering’, departed City Hall to distribute information pamphlets. “What has changed?” Mr. Brenner asked. Saturday’s protest was sparked by a council decision, made during a closed meeting July 5, to abandon a lawsuit targeting York Region’s plans to expand its massive sewer line, known as the Big Pipe. The lawsuit, launched last fall, claimed residents hadn’t been properly consulted about the construction of an odour control facility near the Cherrywood West subdivision. At council’s final meeting before its summer break, Mayor Dave Ryan announced the legal action would be dropped because there was no likelihood of it being suc- cessful; instead the City will nego- tiate a settlement with York on expansion of the Big Pipe, said Mayor Ryan. Expansion opponents are incensed at the abandonment of the suit and the way in which it happened. They’re demanding to know how councillors voted dur- ing the in-camera meeting and their reasons for doing so. “There’s an element of account- ability here,” Mr. Brenner said. “Council has no right to meet behind closed doors.” Protest organizer Peter Rodrigues, also a candidate in next October’s municipal election, said Saturday’s action was intended to inform Pickering residents about council’s decision. “Our objective is to let the pub- lic know what happened and our objection to what’s happened,” Mr. Rodrigues said. Addressing protesters at the start of the demonstration, Mr. Rodrigues noted the issue is politi- cal “but we’re not framing it as an election issue.” The comment elicited a guf- faw from resident Marion Thom- as, who stood on the fringe of the group as it assembled. “It’s totally political,” Ms. Thom- as said. She said council made the right move in dropping legal action. “I don’t think we have a hope in hell of winning,” she said. “I’m dead against the pipe but I’m dead against continuing with this law- suit as well.” That said, Ms. Thomas agreed with one point raised by the pro- testers: councillors should come clean on how they voted on the issue, she said. “They made the deal,” Ms. Thom- as said. “They should be clear on how they voted.” 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 • Ju l y 3 0 , 2 0 1 0 7 AP POLITICS Pickering move on Big Pipe lawsuit stinks: protesters JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Protestors gathered at City Hall in Pickering to protest the Big Pipe July 24.

As of Aug. 1, drivers age 21 and under are prohib- ited from consuming any alcohol before getting behind the wheel. Young drivers found with a blood alcohol level above zero will receive an immediate 24-hour licence suspension. They could also face a 30-day suspension and fines of up to $500. “If something like this was in effect four years ago, my daughter may still be alive,” said local resi- dent Blair Carter, whose daughter Melanie died in 2007 at age 21. She went to a party with no plans to drive and later got behind the wheel of an impaired friend’s car, even though she had been drinking herself. “At 21, you’re not think- ing the same way as some- one in their 30s, 40s or 50s,” said Mr. Carter, founder of advocacy group Safe and Sober Canada. “You don’t have the same judgment and experience.” New drivers will also be impacted by the legisla- tion. Drivers of any age with a G1 licence face the same zero-tolerance poli- cy until they graduate to a G2 licence. The changes come after extensive lobbying by groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving. “There will be people that are unhappy with this, including some peo- ple in my own house- hold, but we know this is the right legislation,” said Andrew Murie, MADD’s chief executive officer. He expects the new rules to result in a 15 to 25 per cent decrease in impaired driving deaths of young people. Ontario is the fourth province to take a zero- tolerance approach to young and new drivers, following in the footsteps of Manitoba, New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotia. Critics have said the changes unfairly target young people and several Facebook pages opposing the legislation have been created in recent months, drawing thousands of members. Sgt. Shaun Arnott with the Durham Regional Police traffic unit said sta- tistics clearly show that when drivers between the ages of 16 and 25 are involved in car accidents, driver inexperience or alcohol are typically to blame. He thinks the new rules are likely to make a differ- ence. “In the past, we would take someone’s licence for 12 hours, that didn’t make much difference. You go home and go to bed and then 12 hours have passed,” he said. “The immediate 24-hour sus- pension definitely impacts your life if you have a job to go to the next day. And a potential 30-day sus- pension has an even big- ger impact.” -- With files from the Toronto Star 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 • Ju l y 3 0 , 2 0 1 0 12 AP D ELIVERING F OR T HE F UTURE What do you call someone who runs their own business, braves summer heat and the winter chill, is on the job in the rain, snow and sleet, is always cheerful and courteous and who brings the product right to your door every time without fail while also trying to conquer the intricacies of math, science and auditioning for the fi rst-chair saxophone in the school band?

While residents are doing a good job of re- cycling waste headed for Blue and Green bin programs, items that shouldn’t go in the garbage and require special handling often end up gathering dust in cupboards, draw- ers and garages. Building regular material drop offs into Ontarians’ al- ready successful recycling routines is the goal of a new campaign spearheaded by Stewardship Ontario, the orga- nization responsible for the Blue Box Program Plan. The campaign, called Orange Drop, takes recycling beyond the driveway by urging Ontario residents to use desig- nated drop off zones for special waste items including pharmaceuticals, cleaners, batteries and other materials. In landﬁ lls, besides taking up space, these materials can contaminate the soil and ground water, eventually making it into rivers, lakes and wildlife. Orange Drop builds on the foundation created by the ﬁ rst MHSW (Municipal Hazardous or Special Waste) program, Do What You Can, that was launched in 2008. The original program implemented an environmen- tally-safe recycling and disposal routine for nine special waste items. Orange Drop adds 13 new items to the list of hazardous and special waste materials designated for collection, recycling and safe disposal. To accommodate the new items the province is utilizing the more than 92 municipal recycling depots and 238 return-to-retail col- lection counters, as well as including the broad network of Call2Recycle battery collection drop offs as part of the Orange Drop program. There are also many special collection events held throughout communities across On- tario. For certain special waste items like pharmaceuticals, sharps and syringes, it’s not just a matter of environmental safety, but also public safety. Orange Drop will work with the more than 2,700 Ontario pharmacies to collect these materials ensuring that consumers have access to dispose of these materials safely. Last year nearly 30,000 tonnes of hazardous and spe- cial waste materials were dropped off at recycling depots across the province. This included over 11,000 tonnes of paints, 571 tonnes of batteries, almost 11,000 tonnes of oil ﬁ lters, and 1,028 tonnes of pressurized containers. While this is signiﬁ cant, there is still much more work to be done. Stewardship Ontario estimates that the 1,232 tonnes of oil containers and 400 tonnes of solvents that were recycled represent only a fraction of what Ontarians actually used. As a result, these materials are making their way to landﬁ lls or languishing in homes. “Ontarians have already demonstrated they are willing to recycle these materials,” said Lyle Clarke, vice presi- dent of operations at Stewardship Ontario. “We need On- tario residents to start thinking about these items the way they do for the Blue or Green Bin programs, recognize what is an Orange Drop recyclable and understand how to dispose of them appropriately.” New items accepted in the Orange Drop program in- clude: syringes and sharps, paint brushes, batteries, car batteries, prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, oil ﬁ lters, CFL light bulbs, pesticides, pressurized containers, toxics displaying the “crossbones” symbol and reactives.

And while women might certain- ly see some of themselves in the work, Ottaway says the play, which explores the sharing of knowledge and experience from mother to daughter, is also a chance for guys to do some undercover work, so to speak. “I think men will enjoy it as it gives them a look at how women think,” he says, adding, “and men really don’t learn from one anoth- er.” Old Wives Tales, written by Kevin Riordan, is at Class Act Dinner Theatre until Aug. 22. “It takes place over 30 years, starting in the 1980s and then the 1990s and ending in 2010,” Ott- away says. “We first meet the mother and daughter on the wedding day of the daughter. Then we meet them about 10 to 14 years later when people have questions about their marriages.” He says we see the similarities in their lives as they change and get older, describing the work as “funny but quite poignant as well. “The mother is constantly giv- ing her advice on how to deal with life’s problems,” he says. The play features Marion Reid- Clarke of Bowmanville, Barry Neil- son of Whitby and Mississauga’s Jane Hailes. And the female cast members are certainly familiar with the Wallace- burg author’s play, Ottaway says: Reid-Clarke and Hailes starred in Old Wives Tales when it premiered last summer in Wallaceburg. “It was actually written with Mar- ion in mind,” he says. “It’s not based on Marion’s life or anything but on who she is as an actor.” Class Act is at 104 Consumers Dr., Whitby.

AUDITIONS Sing with the County Town Singers this fall Whitby-based choir looking for members COLUMN Tina Horn connects the skies of two worlds Tina Horn is in Canada to mature her artistic voice. The 26-year-old native of New Zealand has been living with her émigré parents in Ajax for the past year, churning out acrylic paint- ings on canvas, featuring the Cana- dian landscape. She has assem- bled enough work to put them together with landscapes from her native land to warrant a show. Two Worlds – One Sky is at the Durham West Arts Centre in the Greenwood library in Pickering to Sept. 5. Horn is largely self-taught, but comes from a life-long affinity for visual expression. Her parents are in the applied visual arts field, her mom a photographer and her father an architect. And Tina has always excelled at visual arts, start- ing with crafts and then painting in elementary and high school -- and returning to fine arts, in spite of an art teacher who shut her down for the years directly after her formal education with some unhelpful criticism of her formative works. She worked at various jobs until finally the pressure from peo- ple asking for commissions plus her inner need to express herself resulted in her focusing on abstract and figurative works that explored frustrations, disappointments and inspirations in her life up until the move to Canada. Living in Durham Region and travelling in Quebec gave her a more positive perspective and Horn plunged into the execution of the present and ongoing series of landscapes. They are bright and engaging with dramatic black outlining key elements -- a look inspired by graffiti art she saw in the streets of her hometown, Wel- lington. When her work visa expires, Tina will return to Wellington, which she describes as having a vibrant and emerging art scene, where she intends on taking classes to learn new techniques, allowing herself the freedom of more experimenta- tion and beginning the crucial net- working that artists must pursue to fashion a successful career. The library is at 3540 Westney Rd. N. For more information, con- tact tinahorn@gmail.com or see her work on Facebook by search- ing I am Tina Horn – Art Works.

TRACK AND FIELD Perdita versus Priscilla Durham hurdlers to meet Saturday at University of Toronto RANDY STARKMAN newsroom@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- The battle between Durham hurdlers Priscilla Lopes-Schliep and Perdi- ta Felicien for the Canadian title in Toronto this weekend is being hyped like a heavy- weight prizefight. But instead of stepping on the scales and flexing their muscles at a news conference to pump the four-day national champion- ships, they good-naturedly agreed to stage a different battle for the cameras -- squaring off in a thumb wrestling bout. Score this one for Lopes-Schliep. If it counted in their head-to-head race totals, it’d bring the Whitby native even clos- er to her Pickering rival. Felicien holds a 17- 14 edge so far but Lopes-Schliep has been gaining steadily. Don’t think that the head-to-head record doesn’t matter to these steely competitors. They definitely don’t like to lose to each other. But they’re mature enough to know that as a unit it’s important they be on friendly enough terms to help promote their sport, as they’re by far Canada’s two most well- known track and field athletes. “We’re good acquaintances,” said Lopes- Schliep. “I think people like to build the rivalry more than it is.” Felicien was more in a mood to dish. “We hate each other actually. In the limo yesterday, we were fighting,” she said, refer- ring to some promotional appearances. “No just joking,” added Felicien with a smile. “We get along really well. We’re going after the same No. 1 spot, the same gold medal and on top of that we’re from the same region, the same country and we do the same event. That makes things tense at times, but not a bad tense.” The Canadian title holds a lot of cache for both athletes, with Felicien holding a huge 8-1 edge in that regard heading into Satur- day’s showdown. Lopes-Schliep’s only win so far came in 2008 when her fellow Dur- ham-ite was sidelined with a foot injury that kept her out of the Beijing Games. It was at those Olympics that Lopes-Schliep finally ran out from under Felicien’s shadow. Lopes-Schliep would have to be consid- ered the favourite based on her silver medal at last year’s worlds and more consistent form, and Felicien is hoping people are counting her out because that’s when she’s at her best. “Toronto’s a different kind of racing for me,” said Felicien. “When I’m in my home- town, it brings out a little bit of a different person in me.” That could certainly be seen at last year’s nationals, also held at Varsity Stadium, as Felicien looked like she’d just won the Stan- ley Cup in celebrating her victory. She’s a bit sheepish about it now, saying she got car- ried away because many thought she was finished after her foot injury. “I look at the video and I kind of go, ‘Oh God.’ I got a little crazy and I don’t usually celebrate like that, I don’t usually do that. It was just the emotional relief of being back on top and doing something I was counted out for.” The women’s 100-metre hurdles final is scheduled for 5:50 p.m. Saturday. Randy Starkman is a sports reporter for the Toronto Star FOOTBALL One season ends, another continues for Ajax-Pickering Dolphins football AJAX -- The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins’ new bantam entry in the OMFL finished their season this past Sunday, losing a heartbreaker to the TNT Express. Having finished their inaugural foot- ball season tied for fourth place with a 5-4 record, the tiebreaking formula used by the league relegated the team to sixth place. This past Sunday’s game saw the team come out flat in the first quarter, fall- ing behind 20-0. While the team buckled down and played well the rest of the way, the score was too much to overcome against a strong Express defense in a 32- 6 final. Kyler Woodburne scored the lone Dolphins touchdown on a tight-end quick slant from Rion Johnson. Despite a small roster this season, the team played up to their capabilities and surprised many of their opponents. Commenting on the season, head coach Phil Johnson said: “These are a great bunch of young men, who have shown through their attitude, hard work and play, that they are true athletes that have a love and passion for the game. They will be playing football for years to come. It has certainly been a plea- sure watching them represent the Ajax- Pickering Dolphins.” Many of those responsible for getting the team off the ground this year were Tommy Kerr, managers Lisa Kerr, Brandi Kelly and Brenda Aranha, coaches, Vedh Nancoo, Mark Morel, Duane Bateman, Joe Palumbo, Kaed Nancoo and Phil Johnson, along with players’ families. At the senior level, the Dolphins OV team won its fourth in a row against the Huronia Stallions. With the 34-21 victory on Sunday, the Dolphins locked up third place and a playoff spot. They will play Ottawa to open the post-season. In the Huronia game, the Dolphins offence started slow, but came on late in the first half, led by the backfield of Mike Stobbart at quarterback and Marley Pat- terson, Myles Daly and Brian Derkson at the running back positions. Each of them posted touchdowns on the day. Fullback Jallani Pascoe also had an impressive day putting up big yards. Defensively, the Dolphins had a strong game from linebackers Kyle Was- son, Shane Winner and Shane Lock who were all over the Stallions offence limiting them to short gains and shutting down any passing. Also having strong games were Jaheed Julien with some huge returns on kick-offs, along with Dexter Damboise and Jordan Oram. 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 • Ju l y 3 0 , 2 0 1 0 18 AP SUNDAY AUGUST 1, 2-4 PM 25 BARTLETT DRIVE, AJAX www.sugarteam.ca TAYLOR SUGAR Sales Representative 416-569-8919 905-836-1212 York North Realty, Brokerage Backyard Oasis Featuring a Pool, Deck and Gardens.

Doyle had seven points in the game, a 16-10 victory for Six Nations. Game 3 was last night after our deadline. AJAX -- An awful stretch of near- ly eight minutes in the first peri- od cost the Ajax-Pickering Rock big time Wednesday night. The Rock, locked in 3-3 game with the Six Nations Chiefs mid- way through the first period of Game 2 of their Major Series Lacrosse playoff series, watched as the opposition fired home five straight goals before the period was out, leaving them behind 8-3 in an eventual 16-10 loss. Game 3 of the series was back at Six Nations last night (after our deadline). Ajax’s Jessie Guerin, nominat- ed this week for the MSL rookie of the year award, opened the scoring in Game 2, beating Jake Henhawk just under six minutes in. The Chiefs responded quick- ly though to tie before Zac McIlmyole restored the one-goal Rock lead under a minute later. Two more Six Nations goals put them up 3-2 before Bill McLean scored a transition goal, assisted by goalie Pat Campbell at 11:53. Then it was all Six Nations with goals from Delby Powless, Kim Squire with two and Rob Mar- shall. Steven Keogh, who was briefly a member of the Rock earlier this campaign following the Barrie Lakeshores dispersal draft, Squire and Craig Point had the earlier first period goals. In the second, Ajax-Pickering was able to turn the tables some- what, outscoring Six Nations 5- 3 in the period, but that still left them trailing 11-8 heading to the final stanza. In the third, the two teams trad- ed goals twice inside the first 15 before the Chiefs reeled off three straight to close things out. Brock Boyle with a pair, Jus- tin Gibson, Bryan Johnson and Dilan Graham had the second period goals for Ajax-Pickering, with Marshall, Brenden Then- haus and Point responding for Six Nations. Goals in the third came from the Rock’s McIlmoyle and Bran- don Collins, while Colin Doyle fired home a pair to wrap up a seven point night for the Chiefs, with others going to Powless, Marshall and Tom Montour. Campbell took the loss in goal, with Tyler Carlson getting a few minutes in relief, while Henhawk was credited with the win. Game 4 of the series will be back at the Ajax Community Centre Sunday at 4 p.m. RACING McColm finishes 10th AJAX -- Joey McColm achieved one of his main goals for 2010 with an impressive top-10 finish in NAS- CAR’s Canadian Tire 100. The Ajax driver improved with every session on track in his WATCH IT! Dodge, peaking with a tenth place finish. “It feels amazing to finally crack the top 10 on a road course,” said McColm in a press release. “We planned to take our time learning the track, and we conserved our race car until the race. “I felt the car was much better than what we showed qualifying 13th. When the race started I knew right away I could move forward.” The wide City Centre Airport cir- cuit in Edmonton provided plenty of passing opportunities, and the combatants swapped spots fre- quently. In the end McColm took the checkered flag in 10th. The race was the fifth on the schedule. “We raced hard, but I also feel like I learned a lot about racing on a road course as well. Congratula- tions to JR Fitzpatrick for his win and to Anthony Simone and Scott Steckly for their podium finishes. McColm is back on the track Sat- urday at Motoplex Speedway near Vernon, B.C.

Oshawa, ON MOBILE SHOWROOM Readers’ Choice Winner SOCCER Pickering Power wins third tournament of season U10 team adds Kingston title to collection PICKERING -- The Pickering Soccer Club U10 girls’ soccer team won its third consecutive soccer tournament of the season in Kingston. A total of 12 teams partic- ipated in the tournament. The Pickering Power girls’ team not only battled the rival soccer teams but also the high summer tempera- tures in completing a per- fect 5-0 record at the tour- nament. The Power beat the Flamborough Flames in the final game by a score of 4-1 to take home first place. Along with the Kingston tournament victory, the Pickering Power U10 Green team has also won two other tournaments this sea- son. The team won their first tournament in May in Oshawa. The Power bat- tled the elements, includ- ing cold temperatures, hard rain and high winds, and even a brief bout of hail. The team still managed to fight off very tough challenges from the Aurora Stingers in the semifinal by winning 2- 1, and then again beating a tough Etobicoke team 3-2 in the final in extra time. The team finished a per- fect 5-0 in taking home the first place trophy. The team also travelled to Ottawa in late May to participate in the Ottawa Ice Breaker Soccer tour- nament. The tournament included 13 teams from Ontario and Quebec. The team played a total of eight games in two days winning all eight games including the final game 5- 0 against the Seaway Valley Blazers from Cornwall. The Power girls scored an amaz- ing 43 goals in the eight games while only allowing two goals against. The Pickering Power U10 Green soccer team is also enjoying a very successful season in league play. The team plays in the Central East Soccer League against local Durham, Scarbor- ough, and East York teams. The Power Green team is undefeated so far in league play.
