Ward, youth leader of Whitevale United Church. But its fate is currently unknown as it will soon go up for sale. Before the land in Whitevale was expropri- ated by the provincial government in 1972, along with the expropriation of the federal airport lands, about 125 families occupied the village, says long-time Whitevale resi- dent Gordon Willson. “Together, these two announcements RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND WHITEVALE -- Ann Ward and Heather Armstrong, members of the Heritage United Church group, stand in front of Whitevale United Church, which was recently put up for sale. The church has served the community for more than 125 years and was being used for local youth programs up until the end of 2008.See HISTORIC page 2 CRIME 3 Charges after chase Attempted murder alleged against driver EDUCATION 5 What’s in a name?

It’s absolutely FREE! caused an exodus from our village and others in north Pickering,” he said. Within five or six years, 125 fami- lies dwindled down to 25. Due to low occupancy, the church eventually became part of a three-point charge and services rotated between nearby Box Grove United Church and Zion-Cedar Grove United Church. In 2004, the three churches amalgamated into one - Heritage United - since many people had dropped out from the congregations, Ms. Ward says. Box Grove was sold and services were held mainly at Zion-Cedar Grove. In order to salvage Whitevale Unit- ed, Ms. Ward and others proposed using it for youth programs, con- certs and fundraisers. “The facility has almost perfect acoustics,” Ms. Ward says. So, Kid.stage was created, and youth (aged eight to 16) in the community put on a number of musicals and concerts and Ms. Ward, who has an arts back- ground, arranged for a number of people in the arts field to help the kids with their performances. The church also hosted various fund- raisers such as food drives, rum- mage sales and pancake break- fasts. But in September 2008, mem- bers discovered their fears had come true, and the church would go up for sale. On Dec. 22, 2008, the church closed its doors after a Christmas performance and they haven’t re-opened. Reverend Carol McKinley, chair- woman of York Presbytery, which oversees Heritage United, says the Heritage-York Pastoral Charge and York Presbytery have decided sell- ing the Whitevale property would be the best way to keep a United Church presence in the communi- ty, and it also finalizes the amalga- mation process. “The Heritage-York Pastoral Charge are in the process of taking inventory and having an appraisal completed,” she says in an e-mail. Locals fear for the church’s fate. “I just want it to stay a Christian church,” says Heather Armstrong, Whitevale United youth leader and resident. Mr. Willson and Ms. Ward hope the community can purchase it. Ms. Ward suggests it would make a good centre for performing arts. “It’s going to be missed,” Mr. Willson said. Rev. McKinley says the United Church of Canada values new and old buildings where the faithful can gather to worship God. Tom Melymuk, Pickering acting chief administrative officer, says the City hasn’t discussed purchas- ing the property.

Resident Gordon Willson Two youths died in Feb. 27 clash BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A Pickering teen charged in the deaths of two youths during a melee last month in Ajax will learn Friday if he is to be released on bail. Following a day-long hear- ing Wednesday in Oshawa, Jus- tice of the Peace Robert Boychyn reserved judgment on the teen’s bid for release, which is being opposed by the Crown. The 17-year-old accused, whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is charged with two counts each of criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving causing death and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. The Crown alleges he was at the wheel of a vehicle that struck two Toronto teens who were among a group of young people involved in a brawl at Hermitage Park in central Ajax on Feb. 27. The Toronto boys, aged 15 and 17, died in hospital. Publication of their identities is also prohibited. Police said the brawl was the result of a simmering dispute among youths who met to settle their differences. Wednesday, Mr. Boychyn heard submissions from lawyers and tes- timony from a proposed surety. A publication ban prohibits report- ing on evidence presented during the hearing.

AP Cop fired shot at oncoming van BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A charge of attempted murder has been laid against the driv- er of a truck that was allegedly driven at a police officer during a wild pursuit Thursday in Pickering. And a second suspect has been charged with offences including forcible con- finement in connection with the bizarre series of events, which began with a report of a possible impaired driver on Hwy. 401 and ended with two suspects desperately trying to commandeer pass- ing cars in rural Pickering. The mayhem ended when two tow truck drivers, who had been monitoring the pursuit, tackled the suspects and held them for police. The suspects, a man and a woman, remain in custody pending a bail hearing Monday. The chain of events began at 10:30 a.m. Thursday when police received reports of a possible impaired driver on Hwy. 401 in the Pickering area, Sgt. Dave Woodford said. The driver of the U-Haul ignored an OPP officer’s attempt to stop the vehi- cle, instead leaving the highway at West- ney Road and heading north, speeding through stoplights on the way. Police called off the chase over safety concerns but soon encountered the van on Hwy. 407, Sgt. Woodford said. An OPP cruiser followed the suspect vehicle as it exited at the York-Durham Line, travelled north to Hwy. 7 and turned east, he said. The driver of the van veered onto an unpaved, dead-end street in the ham- let of Green River. The officer followed and had gotten out of his cruiser when the driver of the van turned and drove toward the cop, Sgt. Woodford said. The officer fired a shot at the truck and dove out of the way, he said. The van was driven into a ditch and the two occu- pants bailed out, running to Hwy. 7 and attempting to flag down passing cars. The suspects tried to hijack three vehi- cles before being overpowered by tow truck drivers Richie Barnes and Mike Bailey. Barry Allen, 41, of no fixed address is charged with attempted murder, two counts of dangerous driving, forcible confinement, failing to stop for police and breach of probation. Melissa Maxwell, 20, of no fixed address is charged with forcible confinement, assault with a weapon and breach of pro- bation. Sgt. Woodford said the investigation is ongoing. He wouldn’t comment on what police might have found inside the rental truck. “I don’t know what was in the truck -- that’s ongoing,” he said. “Other police forces are involved in that.” Witnesses or anyone else with informa- tion is asked to call Constable Chapman at 905-668-3388. CRIME Attempted murder charge laid in wild police chase CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND GREEN RIVER -- Two suspects were taken into custody following a wild chase that began on Hwy. 401 and ended with their vehicle, in far background, in a ditch on dead-end sideroad in Green River in north Pickering.

The Rouge Valley Health System, which has campuses in Ajax and Scarborough, was one of the 17 but Lakeridge Health Corporation was not. The recently-released Hospital Report Card: Ontario 2009 compares in detail the perfor- mance of Ontario’s hospitals on indicators of quality and patient safety. This year’s num- bers reveal a drop from 2006 when 43 hospi- tals agreed to be identified. Nadeem Esmail, the institute’s director of health system per- formance studies and co-author of the report card, said those who refuse to be identified are “hiding behind a wall of silence. “By refusing to be identified, Ontario hos- pital administrators are hiding vital infor- mation from Ontario taxpayers and patients about the quality of tax-funded health care provided in their community,” he said. RVHS is one hospital that has allowed the public to see how it stacks up against others in Ontario, he said in an interview. “By agreeing to be identified, I think (RVHS) should be applauded,” he said. Janet Harris, RVHS vice-president of quality, risk, professional practice and chief nursing executive, said she understands some hos- pitals might have trouble with the methodol- ogy used in the report, which was developed by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. But RVHS chose to participate as a way to demonstrate transparency and help gauge where improvements can be made. “It really comes down to the board and the CEO’s commitment to being open and trans- parent,” Ms. Harris said. RVHS will communicate the data in the report with the different departments in both hospital campuses, she said. Lakeridge Health Corporation, which has sites in Oshawa, Bowmanville and Port Perry, was one of many Ontario hospitals that did not agree to be identified in the study. “Lakeridge doesn’t actively participate in the Fraser Report because we, like many other hospitals, have concerns with regards to the methodology used,” said Lakeridge spokesman Arnel Schiratti. He stressed Lakeridge does value account- ability and participates in many other studies and performance measures. The report can be found at www.hospital- reportcards.org. HEALTH CARE Ajax-Pickering hospital lauded for transparency HOW AJAX HOSPITAL FARED Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering specifically was rated above average in 11 areas, below average in 12, on average in four and the rest of the fields didn’t apply. It had the best results in the following areas: lowest rate of deaths among patients who are considered unlikely to die in the hospital, and in deaths due to hip replacement surgery. The hospital didn’t receive the lowest score in any category, but areas in which it was lower than average include deaths due to heart failure and deaths from acute strokes. AJ GROEN / METROLAND AJAX -- Rouge Valley Health System’s Ajax-Pickeirng site received generally good reviews in the recently released report card by the Fraser Institute.

Watch the Dr. Liem Show April 5th, 3:30pm on City TV AP Committee sent back to the drawing board to collect more selections BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It looks like Durham’s univer- sity is stuck with its “problematic” name for a little longer. With options such as the University of Ontario, University of Ontario Durham, University of Central Ontario, and Univer- sity of Southern Ontario, it’s back to the drawing board for a sub-committee slated with recommending a new name for the University of Ontario Institute of Technol- ogy (UOIT). “I would rather keep the name the way it is,” said Michael Martin, a member of the board of governors. The school’s president, Dr. Ronald Bord- essa, has been pushing to rename the uni- versity to get the word “institute” out of its current title. It leads students and parents to question if it’s a real university, he said. “I think UOIT has really been successful,” said board member Larry Seeley. He’s not against the name change, but doesn’t want to take away the esteem the school’s developed from it, Mr. Seeley said. He’s worried any name change could cause more negative effects than positive. The post-secondary sector could have a third tier added of colleges looking to become polytechnics. The schools would offer degrees and describe themselves the same way UOIT does, Dr. Bordessa said. “When you read their literature, you might as well read our literature,” Dr. Bord- essa said. The university needs to separate itself now so it doesn’t become lumped in with the polytechnics, Dr. Bordessa said. Regarding the term ‘technology’ in its title, some people feel the term is detri- mental, but Dr. Bordessa is not opposed to it being there, he said. In time though, the school will add more programs that aren’t science and technology based. The word ‘institute’ diminishes the school as a university in the view of many people, Dr. Bordessa said. It makes it hard to display itself as research intensive. “The word institute is very problematic,” Dr. Bordessa said. Members also wanted more information on the cost of a name change. Mr. Martin said he’d changed the name of his own business and it was much more expensive than he’d expected. He agreed they need to have a set budget for the expense. Another member suggested asking the government for the name University of Ontario, and if it isn’t granted, the school can run institute of technology beside the name in eight-point font. The name change has been sent back to committee to have another look. EDUCATION What’s in a name? UOIT remains the same for now JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND OSHAWA -- UOIT is looking to change its name.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions MPAC Property owners need to respond to ‘flawed system’ To the editor: Many chapters of the Ontario Landowners’ Association throughout Ontario are hold- ing town hall meetings to assist all property owners in filing a “Request for Reconsidera- tion” of their property tax assessments. The property tax notices, sent out recently by the Municipal Property Assessment Cor- poration (MPAC), show your individual sit- uation for the tax years 2009 to 2012. If you don’t file a “Request for Reconsid- eration” with MPAC before March 31, your assessment will go up in each of the next four years. The local landowner association is host- ing a meeting Friday, March 20, at Garnet B. Rickard Recreational Complex, 2440 Hwy. 2 West, Bowmanville, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. All property owners are invited to attend. There will be speakers addressing the problem. This economic slump defies assessment increases. I wonder if MPAC checks with the munic- ipal politicians to see what their spending habits have been? If politicians have over-spent their bud- gets year after year, is MPAC the tool to raise more taxes accordingly? It doesn’t seem to matter what the prop- erty is actually worth that politicians give MPAC to work with. Politicians rely on property owners to be submissive to their every wish. It will take all property owners to rise up against this flawed system. Please attend this meeting. It is vital to your interests.

Enlighten us. Matthew Dobbs Lakeridge Health chooses not to take part in Fraser Report At a time when Ontarians can’t be blamed for looking in any and every direction they can find for information on the state of public health care, it’s a relief to know the Rouge Valley Health System has nothing to hide. That’s one conclusion that can be drawn by the decision of the RVHS board to be included in the Fraser Institute’s Ontario Hospital Report Card for 2009. Sadly for Ontario taxpayers, especially those in Durham Region where Lakeridge Health Corporation decided not to take part, just 17 of Ontario’s 136 acute care hospitals chose to participate in the Fras- er Institute study. And that was down from the 43 that were involved in 2006. It’s important, in a public health care system funded wholly by taxpayer dollars, that an outside entity like the Fraser Insti- tute offer an objective viewpoint on how that system is running. While internal controls and surveys are also valuable and provide a snapshot of quality control, an organization that stands at arm’s length from the system can give some added insight. Not a bad thing and one would think, nothing to be afraid of. So, one wonders, what are those 119 acute care hospitals trying to hide? Why did they choose not to take part in the Fra- ser Institute report? Lakeridge spokesman Arnel Schiratti was asked that question and answered: “Lak- eridge doesn’t actively participate in the Fraser Report because we, like many other hospitals, have concerns with regards to the methodology used.” To its credit, the RVHS board had no such concerns and was willing to let Fra- ser Report co-author Nadeem Esmail, have access to its data. Janet Harris, RVHS vice-president of quality, risk, professional practice and chief nursing executive, spoke for the hos- pital and the board. “It really comes down to the board and the CEO’s commitment to being open and transparent.” Perhaps that’s an important point of departure between the two hospital sys- tems which serve Durham residents. In this particular instance, at least, Lakeridge has chosen to avoid scrutiny and run with the pack that would rather avoid the prying eyes of the public, the public who pay its bills. The Rouge Valley Health System is will- ing to allow taxpayers who fund its pro- grams and procedures and who use its ser- vices the chance to see how it’s doing. Lakeridge should take part in future report cards. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com Rouge Valley Health System deserves praise for open stance newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 19, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 19, 20097 AP www.ajaxsmiles.com Simply Dial 310-BITE Special offer for in offi ce whitening with new patient exam and cleaning offer valid until March 31/09 161 Harwood Ave. N.

L.C.M., P.T.S., F.L.T. Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE We all desire the benefi ts of good health and to be symptom free. Many of us are convinced that this is not possible and as age increases we have to accept disease. Those convinced of this only view disease from the outside and are not considering what is going on inside the body, and they can be a bigger part of their own health and healing process! By the year 2030, it is estimated that the number of North Americans over 65 will be doubled. Statistics tell us people are living longer, and we need to be concerned about quality of life. A health assessment and nutritional recommendation by a professional is your best option for prevention. Think of the battle our immune system has by regularly being exposed to offending foods, chemicals, food additives, indoor and outdoor pollution, bacteria, viruses, and the list goes on. Poor health is an accumulation of injury from poor nutrition. Is it a wonder allergies are said to be at the root of all disease? Two important strategies necessary for the path to optimal health are preventative nutrition guidelines, and allergy awareness through sensitivity testing. Here’s an example of how poor nutrition can provoke allergies and disease. When a certain food is consumed repeatedly, such as wheat (a common food allergen), the body begins to have trouble digesting it. Problems can arise in the intestines such as infl ammation, and sometimes a condition known as ‘leaky gut syndrome’ can develop. This actually means that undigested foods escape (or leak) through the damaged wall of the intestine and gets absorbed into the blood stream. The undigested particles recognized by the internal organs as foreign invaders alert the body to an allergic response. You may be questioning whether you have allergic responses? Allergic reactions commonly go unrecognized and are often disguised as fatigue, acne, bowel disorders such as Irritable bowel syndrome and even constipation just to name a few. Allergies can begin from a single trigger or a combination of antagonists. Some antagonists are poor food combining, repetition of the same foods in the diet, lack of digestive integrity and not doing anything about it, or having a gall bladder removed (which alters the natural Sensitivity testing and prevention for optimal health By Karen Steward digestion process). It becomes apparent that when allergies are present, food can enter the digestive tract and exit it without providing any nourishment to the body. Knowing what your sensitivities/allergies are is part of good prevention against disease. Electro-dermal screening is a method for accurately testing your food sensitivities and provides a report for 220 foods. The report indicates which foods are benefi cial, neutral, poor choice and the foods that need to be completely avoided. This information enables you to focus on foods that will provide the very best nourishment to your body, and help reduce symptoms that may have arisen from previous non-benefi cial food choices. Many years of consuming food that you are sensitive toward may cause serious symptoms and promote disease. As a fi nal conclusion, sensitivity testing is an important fundamental to the platform of health. It can help you to restore digestive integrity and in turn improve nutrient absorption. This is one way to address the root cause of symptoms, and is a preferential avenue over masking symptoms with medication. The more knowledge you can obtain of yourself (including your sensitivities), the better off you’ll be.

Answer: Many of my clients are surprised to learn that exercise is only part of the puzzle. There are two main reasons why many people work out consistently and yet still are not able to reach their health and weight loss goals. The fi rst is that you need to adjust your workout program every four to six weeks in order to keep your body challenged and the second and most important key ingredient to success is nutrition. Our body is extremely intelligent and learns to adapt very quickly, this is why we provide our clients at U Weight Loss with professional workout programs. You must constantly change your work out regime to challenge your body in order to see the results you crave. It is also a huge nutrition myth that if you work out, you can eat whatever you want. The truth is that 75-80% of the results you will experience from any exercise program are in fact dependent on your nutrition. You need to fuel your body properly with the right nutrients emphasizing the correct balance of lean proteins, essential fats and low-glycemic carbohydrates to repair muscle tissue in order to tone, build muscle and increase your metabolism. Nutrition is the cornerstone of health and the focus at U Weight Loss. Come in to U Weight Loss in Ajax or Pickering and learn how to accelerate the results from your exercise program and reach your health and weight loss goal easily and quickly! newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • March 19, 20099 AP Open is In was written by Audiologist Lila O’Neill, founder of the fi rst Audiology Clinics to dispense hearing aids in Durham Region. Q. I have a high-frequency hearing loss, and I was told that hearing aids could not help me. I have trouble hearing women’s and children’s voices. More embarrassing, I cannot converse in groups, at meetings, or at restaurants. I’ve seen advertisements claiming new technology can help all hearing problems. Is that true? A. Advances in hearing aid technology have recently been achieved — even more than throughout history. Open-fi t hearing aids — which leave your ear partially open — have become extremely popular for high-frequency hearing loss. They allow low-frequency sounds into the ear normally, so that only high-frequency sounds (soft consonants) are amplifi ed. You select what and where you need to hear better: Digitally programmed to match your hearing loss; no two hearing losses are the same, everyone is unique. Digitally programmed for your style of living; programmed for listening in noisy restaurants, or for small groups, whatever your needs may be. Q. Do these hearing aids show? A. Open-fi t hearing aids are virtually invisible. A very thin clear plastic fi ts inside the ear and connects to the tiny device fi tted behind the pinna, which is matched to your hair colour. Designed for active persons, they are lightweight, easy to use, and disappear into your ears. Come and see for yourself. Hearing aid demonstration appointments are available.

Pickering resident and Ajax Attack player joins Battalion for late season run and playoffs OSHAWA -- Ian Watters’s first road game with the Brampton Battalion got off to a rocky start in Oshawa against the Generals last week. The Ontario Hockey League game wasn’t two minutes old when Watters, playing in front of a large group of family and friends, saw his first shift end prematurely when he was hit by Robert Kousal of the Generals. Watters received two stitches to close a gash under his nose. He missed the rest of the period but returned to take a regular shift in the Battalion’s 7-2 victory. “He hit me right in the mouth with his shoulder,” left winger Watters said on the team’s website, www.battalion.com. “I had no idea I was cut until I got to the bench.” Watters, a Pickering resident who turned 17 on Dec. 27, had a number of supporters occupying a suite at the General Motors Cen- tre. “I had around 20 guys there. It was kind of nerve-wracking, but it was fun,” he said. An eighth-round pick in the 2008 OHL Pri- ority Selection, Watters signed with the Bat- talion on Feb. 25 after recording 31 goals and 48 assists for 79 points in 46 games with the Ajax Attack of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. He had two goals and one assist for three points in eight playoff games. Watters made his OHL debut in a 5-2 home- ice win over the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors. “I had some time to think about it and was pretty nervous coming in,” said Watters, who skated with centre Sam Carrick and right winger Jason Dale, also of Pickering. “I hadn’t played in some time, and my legs were dead. Dale and Carrick have been here for a while, and it was good to play with those guys. I got more comfortable after the first couple of shifts.” Waters said he hopes practising with the Troops will help him get ready for next sea- son. “The practices have really helped me get used to the speed at this level. The guys are a lot bigger, and the games were more physical than I thought they’d be. “I like getting the chance to get used to the league right now, and I look forward to com- ing in next season and being able to play a lot better.” Watters adapting to rigours of OHL with Brampton HOCKEY Riggs closes out career at Niagara University on high note ERIE, PA. -- Senior forward Ashley Riggs of Pickering ended her career at Niagara University on a high note, named to the All-CHA team for her exceptional play this season. Riggs closed out her career at the school by earning First Team All-CHA honors. This is the fourth all-team honour for Riggs. She made first-team as a freshman in 2004-05 and made second- team as a sophomore and junior. Riggs led the team in scoring this season with 16-19-35 totals in 32 games, and will leave NU as the school’s all-time leader in goals, assists and points. She was named U.S. College Hock- ey Online (USCHO) National Offensive Player of the Week in early November for her four-point weekend against then- No.10 Clarkson. Riggs has been nominated to appear in the NCAA Frozen Four skills competition in Washington, DC in April. SOCCER Fun for the kids PICKERING -- In a partnership with the City of Pickering and Supe- rior Events Group, the Pickering Soccer Club is offering two days of fun activities for kids of all ages.

BASKETBALL Padillo a top shooter PICKERING -- Maico Padillo, a stu- dent at St. Monica Catholic School in Pickering, was the best shooter from the foul line in the annual Knights of Colum- bus free throw competition. The 13-year-old won the competi- tion, which included participants from a geographic area covering Scarborough, Peterborough and Belleville. His scores will now be compared to those world- wide to declare an overall winner.

Even after a tough draw, the athletes pulled together to win fourth place in a tough field of 13. Team members were: Shannon Blaney, Meagan Caulfield, Wen- jing Deng, Julia Ehrt, Ellen Hamilton, Amber Mealing, Ellen Ritchie, Brooke Ste- vens and Julia Thornton. The T3 duet of Ellen Hamilton and Julia Ehrt swam to an outstanding second place finish. Their routine, coached by Sarah Rowe, is simply breath-taking and will certainly continue to succeed. The Tier 2 team made a strong debut with their disco sensation routine. Coach Amy McPherson and swimmers McKen- zie Broad, Stephanie Dalgleish, Rachel Enright, Samantha Gurrieri, Nicole Mil- ligan, Reyanne Padgett, Nicole Rayment and Samantha Weima competed in a field of 13 teams from around the region. In Tier 1 action, coach Michelle Lopers’ team finished just off the podium in sev- enth place. Athletes Andrea Beekman, Brooke Campbell, Nieve Iannarelli, Ellie Kozak, Samantha Low, Madelyn Minaret and Laura Walsh put in a sweet perfor- mance with their candy-inspired routine. At the Provincial Championships in Eto- bicoke, the T7 girls faced the addition- al challenge of competing without their highly-valued teammate, Julia Maclean, who was simply too sick to compete. The remaining seven swimmers rallied in spectacular fashion to claim the gold. Holley Lundmark’s determined group of athletes include Stephanie Geller, Jessica Henry, Alycia Halyk, Brianna MacLellan, Brooke Manson, Carrie Mouck and Rachel Nickerson. The Tier 7 team of Francesca DiPietro, Hannah Koke, Carly McCagherty, Brittany Michaud, Alex Opydo and Berkley Soder- strom, under new coaches Leslie Wickens and Debbie Sands, captured sixth place. In T7 solo action, Durham finished a fan- tastic third, fourth and fifth. Carrie Mouck, Jessica Henry and Brianna MacLellan had an outstanding effort. The duet of Steph- anie Geller and Jessica Henry claimed an impressive third place finish in their first year of Tier 7 competition. Carrie (3rd) and Jessica (5th) added podium figure fin- ishes to their list of accomplishments. The T6 duet of Alycia Halyk and Rachel Nickerson captured first place in a high- ly-competitive field of teams. Halyk also had a third place finish in T6 figures and Nickerson had a sixth place podium finish in T6 solo. The Sarah Masters and Heath- er Clarke duet finished 11th which gained them a berth in the upcoming East Divi- sionals. Tier 6 Team competitors, Carly Byberg, Heather Clarke, Lindsay Dawson, Katie Gagnon, Sarah Masters, Ashtyn Nauff- ts, Venessa Trajanos and Kionna Whyte, under coach Taya Amundson, swam a strong routine to finish fourth, up one place from Provincial trials. Jenilee Kes- lering’s T6 team placed 11th. Swim- mers included Emma Campbell, Krysten Davies, Meg Grylls, Tyerra Lowe, Caro- line Ristow, Sarah Thompson and Sarah Walsh. 711 KROSNO BLVD.
