Pickering a water sports mecca LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SHOW WHAT CITY HAS TO OFFER BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- There’s no need to head all the way to the East Coast to get a taste of that shoreline atmosphere. Pat Olive, Regional commissioner of eco- nomic development and tourism, said all local residents need to do for some East Coast-type hospitality is take a quick trip to Progress Frenchman’s Bay East Park in Pickering. “Why go to Muskoka or the East Coast to kayak?” he said. “The Pickering shoreline has an ambiance that is extremely East Coast.” On weekends, the area is a mecca for water sports enthusiasts and families. It’s a recre- ational hub, said Michelle Pongracz, from the City of Pickering.

Michael Ross Stratton admitted sex assaults BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Legal arguments have begun as the Crown launches its attempt to have an admitted sex offender declared a dangerous offender. Monday in Oshawa, Ontario Court Justice Paul Bellefontaine heard submissions from the Crown and defence on evidence to be heard in the case of Michael Ross Stratton. The Whitby man pleaded guilty in April to 13 charges related to the sexual abuse of several young girls over more than a decade. The first hurdle for the Crown in what will undoubtedly be a long court process is to convince Justice Bellefontaine to order an assessment of Mr. Stratton to determine if the 41-year-old man fits the profile of a danger- ous offender. If Mr. Stratton is eventually declared a dan- gerous offender, he could be jailed indefinite- ly. The heavy-set Mr. Stratton, his long curly locks tied in a ponytail, sat shackled in the prisoner’s box in a small Oshawa courtroom Monday. Lawyers for the Crown and defence argued about what evidence ought to be heard by Justice Bellefontaine as he considers the Crown’s application for an assessment. Prosecutor Kent Saliwonchyk said the evi- dence he plans to present will show there are reasonable grounds for the court to find Mr. Stratton fits the profile of a dangerous offend- er. Defence counsel Alan Risen said that while there’s no dispute about some of the Crown’s evidence -- including Mr. Stratton’s criminal record and an agreed statement of facts read in court when he pleaded guilty -- some of the material shouldn’t be considered by the judge. Mr. Risen said some proposed evi- dence, such as police reports that haven’t been proven in court and a years-old citation for a noise violation at Mr. Stratton’s home, ought to be excluded. “Only reliable evidence should be admitted and only relevant evi- dence ought to be admitted,” Mr. Risen said. Mr. Stratton has been in custody since Dur- ham police, acting on a tip, raided his home in June of 2006. Among the evidence recov- ered by police were hours of videotape show- ing Mr. Stratton in sexual situations with young girls. Justice Bellefontaine viewed a number of those tapes during an intense trial in April. The case continues.

A/P Appreciation for country runs a bit deeper this year BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- For Corporal Jose Ramirez, the Canadian flag his platoon officer brought everywhere evoked his national pride while in Afghanistan. For Corporal Mitchell Allems, seeing the Canadian flag on a well or school donat- ed by Canadian organizations made him proud. And for Master Corporal Rory Feeley, the sight of people standing on highway over- passes during repatriation ceremonies for soldiers killed in combat or viewing ‘We Support Our Troops’ bumper stickers after returning home, made him feel good about his country. The group of reservists recently came back to Canada after a fall-to-spring stint in Afghanistan. While sitting in the Junior Ranks Mess room inside the McLaughlin Armoury in Oshawa, the men spoke about their mis- sion and their feelings about Canada Day and their country. “I always thought (Canada) was great, but now I have a greater appreciation,” Master Cpl. Feeley said. Cpl. Allems, just 20 and from Oshawa, definitely feels different about Canada Day now. He just can’t put his finger on how, he said. “It’s nice to see people appreciate what we have,” Cpl. Ramirez said. Master Cpl. Feeley would happily go over- seas again to ensure Canadians can keep what they have here. “So you can wake up on Saturday and cut your grass,” he said. “(Canada has) the best status quo in the world.” At age 28, the Ajax resident has been to Afghanistan twice now. He also did a tour of Bosnia in 2001 and Kabul in Afghanistan in 2004 and 2005. During his recent stint, he and Cpl. Ramirez were in the same unit providing convoy security for deliveries. Cpl. Allems, who joined the military with Cpl. Ramirez, was a driver with the civil military co-operation. “You miss greenery and the water,” said Cpl. Ramirez, 21, an Ajax resident. “Because it’s all very desolate,” added Master Cpl. Feeley. He missed just being able to cook up a steak. Sometimes, things were pretty routine in Afghanistan, Master Cpl. Feeley said. Their day often started at 4 a.m. with making sure they had their gear and clothes gathered and stowed away, pre- paring ammunition and making sure their vehicle was sound, then receiving their route orders, which included everything from who and what they were picking up, to the weather and any threats they could face. They’d also be told which position their vehicle would be in. Each spot plays a different role, such as looking for bombs or carrying medical personnel or interpreters, Master Cpl. Feeley said. Some days were boring, but others includ- ed explosions en route or other obstacles they would face. “You just have to stop and deal with everything as you go along,” Master Cpl. Feeley said. They also had to do vehicle and weap- on maintenance. Sometimes they had free time to go to the gym, write letters, or play cards. Sometimes Master Cpl. Feeley and Cpl. Ramirez would run into Cpl. Allems while on the road at campers. His days were simi- lar to theirs. “I’d do two to three patrols a day,” Cpl. Allems said. For patrols, he’d drop people off who worked on instructing Afghans on proper governance and policing. Now at home, Cpl. Ramirez sometimes hears people his age complaining about how hard things are, but going to Afghani- stan was a real eye opener for him. “You can really see some true hardships overseas,” Cpl. Ramirez said. “Be glad of what you have.” Canada is one of the best countries in the world, he added. “I love this area now,” Cpl. Ramirez said. “I love this country, I want to take full advantage of everything it has. I’ll never leave. You can’t get any better than this.” WATCH the video story @ newsdurhamregion.com BACK FROM AFGHANISTAN Durham soldiers share their pride in serving Canada Please recycle this newspaperWALTER PASSARELLA PHOTO OSHAWA -- Reservist soldiers Rory Feeley, Mitchell Allems and Jose Ramirez talked about their experiences in Afghanistan during a visit to the Oshawa Armouries. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 2, 20094 AP Donate and Feel Great Your Unwanted Car Can Help Others • Receive a valuable tax receipt • Save the time & hassle of selling the vehicle yourself • Stop paying fees and premiums on an infrequently used vehicle • Stop spending so much in repairs • Free towing and vehicle pick up within 48 hours • Environmentally friendly program ALL CARS ARE ACCEPTED AND EVERY CAR MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE KIDNEY HEALTH AND IMPROVED LIVES FOR ALL PEOPLE AFFECTED BY KIDNEY DISEASE For detailed information call 1-866-788-CARS (2277) Or Donate Online at www.kidney.on.ca Dunbarton facility now more efficient, accessible BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- After a much-needed make- over to modernize the Dunbarton Pool and make it accessible for all, Pickering officials and a bunch of excited kids cele- brated its reopening pool-side Tuesday. The Dunbarton Pool was built in the early 1970s and serves both Dunbar- ton High School and the public. Council decided a major renovation was needed, not only due to its out-of-date appear- ance, but also because the community is changing and various organizations, such as programs for those with special needs, now use it. The $2-million renovation to the six- lane pool with a diving board included: a fresh paint job; wall and roof repairs; a new family and accessible change room; an accessible washroom; a refurbishment of the men’s and women’s change rooms; a new mechanical system; and new floor- ing. Grants from the federal and provincial governments totalling $1.2 million helped offset the cost. Barry Knoll, of Aecom, the lead archi- tect on the project, is happy with the final product. “When a building is this old, they really start deteriorating quite significantly,” he said. Although the pool isn’t new, they were able to do a lot with the renovation, he said, especially in regards to making it environmentally friendly. Sustainable improvements include: extra insulation in the roof and the walls; high-efficiency heating equipment; low-flow washroom fixtures; and an efficient filtration system that doesn’t require as many chemicals. “I think it’s long overdue,” said Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell. “The improvements look amazing and just the sustainability is incredible.” Coun. O’Connell is well acquainted with the pool; she attended Dunbarton High School and joked she’s jealous the reno- vations didn’t take place when she was a student. Karen Coleman, co-ordinator of aquatic programs, said the pool wasn’t very acces- sible before and now that more people with special needs wish to use the pool, the renovations are welcome. Plus, she can’t complain about the up-to-date look, a far stretch from the typical 70’s-style high school pool. “I think it’s the most you could do in a facility that’s already been built,” she said.

The area also features a natural beach, direct access to Lake Ontario and a large migratory bird population, Ms. Pongracz said. The features aren’t just water-based. Depending on the day, visitors to the area may hear the beat of steel drums filling the air or the sounds of a jazz band drift- ing through the shop-lined streets. It all makes for an interesting shopping experience in what Pickering Council- lor Jennifer O’Connell calls a jewel in the local community. Coun. O’Connell was recently in the area for a tour of what the harbour has to offer. A purple, feathered headband from Loran’s Gifts and Collect- ables caught the councillor’s eye and she said she had to have it. Ann Doucet, owner of Loran’s, said the store has a range of unique and appealing products that customers may not expect to find in Pickering. “We have to let people know we carry them and they don’t have to leave the city to find them,” she said. The strip, located at the bottom end of Liverpool Road, has a variety of offerings. The street has a tea shop that serves tra- ditional cucumber sandwiches or jerk chicken for those who want something a bit different.

Pat Olive, Regional commissioner of economic development and tourism AJAX -- Due to an increase in traffic injuries throughout the summer holidays, Canadian Blood Services is urging Ajax and Pickering residents to help top up the blood supply at blood donor clinics around Canada Day. “An increase in hospital demand last sum- mer led to the need for Canadian Blood Ser- vices to call on donors nationwide as our national blood inventory was depleted by 40 per cent,” said Diana McCulloch, Blood Ser- vices community development co-ordina- tor. “We urge blood donors to give this sum- mer to maintain inventory levels, especially around long weekends.” According to the Canada Safety Council website, travel to the cottage has its risks; half of all road fatalities and about 40 per cent of serious traffic injuries in Canada occur on undivided rural roads. According to Trans- port Canada, road traffic injuries are the sec- ond leading cause of death for people aged five to 25, and an accident victim may require 30 to 50 units of blood and blood products to survive. A blood donor clinic is at the McLean Com- munity Centre (95 Magill Dr.) on Saturday, July 4, from 10 a.m. 2 p.m. For more information or to donate: CALL 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283) COMMUNITY Blood needed in Pickering WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com & A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions EDUCATION Free language classes not reasonable To the editor: So the Durham Catholic District School Board is going to be offering free language classes to children. I totally disagree with money being spent on such a program when school children are constantly sell- ing chocolate bars and other items for fundraising. As far as I know, the official languages of Canada are English and French. If parents want their children to know their native tongue then it should be their responsibil- ity to teach them or pay for classes. We have people who have been in our country for years and have still not learned English. Stop wasting taxpayers’ money. Start spending it on programs that will benefit everyone. Marjorie Seymour Pickering POLITICS New leader a chip off the old Mike To the editor: I hope everyone is watching because if Tim Hudak of the Progressive Conserva- tives is elected to become our next premier then we will surely have another Mike Har- ris government in power. I realize Mr. Hudak is not Mr. Harris, but I believe they possess the same ideals. So if you want another government that will surely cut everything then vote Conserva- tive. I also know the NDP and the Liberals are not being received too happily this time around. We do have to vote for the person or party that will do a good job {hopefully} this time around. Please do not elect the Conserva- tives. You will definitely be looking forward to more and more cuts to everything at a time when we can least afford it. Ron Horner Oshawa GOOD NEIGHBOURS Be courteous with your pet To the editor: Re: Train your dog to do his business on your own lawn, Lois Dewsbury letter, June 26. Dog owners need to show respect for others: I totally agree with Lois Dewsbury about pet owners letting their dogs “do their business” on other peoples’ lawn. I live on a quiet street, do not own a dog, but have watched as many dog owners let their dogs “go” on my lawn! Last evening two ladies were walking with their dogs and one lady just stopped and stood there watching it as her dog peed on my front lawn! Not only is it disgusting, but pet urine kills grass. Come on people, let your pets do this on your own property. It’s not only common sense but common courtesy. Mary Prue Oshawa ENVIRONMENT Incinerator decision means worsening health, increasing taxes To the editor: In dealing with the incinerator issue the way it did, Durham Region council has truly demonstrated its true colours at the marathon meeting of Wednesday, June 24. Yes, Durham Region will have an incin- erator. And as the motto of the City of Oshawa says: “Prepare to be Amazed.” Indeed, prepare to be amazed at a very predictable future of worsening health and increasing taxes. Paul-Andre Larose Oshawa Know all the ways to keep kids safe around water With the heat on and school out, the oppor- tunity for kids to hit the water is at its high- est point in the year. However, according to a provincial survey on drowning prevention compiled by the Lifesaving Society, many adults aren’t aware of the best way to keep children safe in the pool or the lake. The survey, conducted last month by Angus Reid, gave Ontario residents only a C grade when it comes to water safety. he random sample of 801 adults revealed only a 60 per cent knowledge of basic water safety techniques. That’s not nearly good enough. A third of those surveyed believe such items as water wings, arm floaties and inflatable tubes or rings are sufficient flota- tion devices for smaller children. Wrong. Those water toys will not allow a child to turn right side up if he falls into the water. A lifejacket, with proper flotation in the front and designed to keep a child’s head above water, is the only safe choice. The survey results did reveal 85 per cent of adults under- stand lifejackets are good life-saving devices but a spokeswoman at the Lifesaving Soci- ety, a charitable organization which works to prevent drowning, was concerned that a third of the respondents thought water toys were adequate. The other major area of con- cern revealed in the survey was that a third of respondents believe drowning victims often make lots of noise, wave their arms and splash around when in distress. In most cases, according to Barbara Byers, spokes- woman for the Lifesaving Society, drowning is silent. While 62 per cent of those answer- ing the survey knew drowning can be very quiet, the third of respondents who thought it was accompanied by plenty of noise, is dis- concerting. “We feel it’s really important to make the public aware that it’s silent, it’s quick, so therefore you (parents) need to be close,” said Ms. Byers. How close? Parents should be within arm’s reach of a young child at all times. If the par- ent is beyond arm’s reach of a youngster, they are too far away. Ms. Byers said drownings can happen in as little as 10 seconds, so hyper-vigilance around the water is critical. Just 43 per cent of respondents knew they should always be within arm’s reach, a miserable grade. Obviously, more awareness is needed in order to avoid senseless tragedies in our pools and lakes this summer. On a positive note, 80 per cent of those responding said they had enrolled their children in swim- ming lessons and 82 per cent realized the best way to restrict children’s access to a backyard pool is a four-sided fence. But nothing beats the use of proper flo- tation devices, active supervision around water, and always being within arm’s length of young children. It’s all basic information, but it needs to be reiterated and emphasized over and over again. For the safety of our children. 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 newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 2, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 2, 20097 PSchool DaysDays Mike Johnston Managing Editor mjohnston@durhamregion.com newsdurhamregion.com STUDENT VIEWS Why I love my school When you open the front doors of Frenchman’s Bay Public School you immediately feel the warmth of vibrant spirit emerging from the stu- dents and teachers. This humble school offers so much for students who are ready to face challenges with a positive atti- tude. Whether we are sitting in class or playing outside for recess, some- thing new is being learned all the time. Every day of the week is a new adventure and teachers are always willing to make it fun and exciting. The students at our school are hard- working and are always striving to be their best. At our fantastic learning facility, our students always have a voice and are encouraged to keep their chins up and to be confident. Our student council speaks for all students and helps to reinforce themes of anti-bullying and keep- ing a clean school all the time. At our eco-friendly school, we encour- age students to always keep in mind that not only are we responsible for keeping our school clean, but also our community. A beautiful new outdoor class- room has been created at the front of our school, sponsored by the Toy- ota Evergreen Learning Grounds. It is ready to be used to help teach our students about respecting nature and wildlife. Frenchman’s Bay P.S. is going to be recognized as a Bronze Level Eco School next year! With the help of our principal and vice principal, students strive to be optimistic, persevering, honest and empathetic. Every month, a new character trait is introduced to the students. This month, we are deter- mined to be kind to one another at school and at home. These key words are what keep our school running like clock work. Our school offers so much more than what meets the eye. Teachers, students, and parent volunteers are what make it what it is today. FRENCHMAN’S BAY PUBLIC SCHOOL From past to present History of our school by the bay dates back 44 years ADRIANA ROMAGNINO PICKERING -- A long time ago, well, forty- four years ago, Frenchman’s Bay P.S. was built at 920 Oklahoma Dr. Yep, the school has been around since 1965! The doors opened wide on Nov. 3 that year, when the first students to ever step foot in Frenchman’s Bay P.S. walked in to take their classes. At the time, there were only 12 classes between kindergarten and Grade 8. When Frenchman’s Bay opened, Mr. Plumptre, the principal of Scarborough Col- lege, came to talk to the school. He gave a good speech about our place in the past and our responsibilities for the future. He wished the school every success for development in the future and for the school’s growth. One phrase stood out to many listeners, “The past should be appreciated, the future anticipated and the present savoured.” This is a powerful phrase that in many ways, describes our school. On Sept. 6, 1966, Frenchman’s Bay P.S. became the first senior school and a new wing opened on Nov. 4, 1966, for the senior students. As the school grew and more kids became students at Frenchman’s Bay P.S. new activities were suggested, and on April 3, 1967, the first student council meeting took place. The student council is made up of Grade 7 and 8 students who prepare and think of activities for all the students. From the past to the present, French- man’s Bay P.S. has had its leaders who have inspired our school. Our leaders have been the principals: Roudy Huebert, Ray Oliver, Brian Wilson, Helene Daleman, Barb Jones, and our present principal, Lynette Nastich. Since day one of Frenchman’s Bay P.S., we have been showing our great school spirit by wearing our school colours to events and using them for sports uni- forms. Our school colours are grey on maroon. With the help of our principals, teach- ers, staff, and even students at French- man’s Bay P.S., we have much more than 12 classes, many more activities at school. We have great school spirit and to this day we still have the student council. This is Frenchman’s Bay P.S.’s history and I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about my school.

PICKERING -- Steve Poirier has his face tasted by the sensitive tongue of ‘Brewtus’ an Argentine black and white Tegu. Brewtus was shown off by his keeper Amy Fraser of the Reptilia Zoo in Vaughan dur- ing the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area celebration to mark the seasonal opening of the pool last Sunday. Children’s entertainers, pony rides, live music, a hot dog and burger barbecue, exotic ani- mals and reptile shows, and much more were available to entertain rain-dampened visitors. DURHAM -- Police have renewed their call for information from potential witnesses after another historical sex assault charge was laid against a former figure skating coach. The call for information came Monday as Toronto police announced more charges have been laid against 52-year-old Wayne Michael Sanderson. The Belleville man was first charged in May with sexually assaulting a girl he coached in the GTA between 1982 and 1986. Since that time another woman, now 45, has come forward to allege she was sexually assaulted by the man in Toronto when she was 16. Toronto police said in a media release they are concerned there may be more victims in the Ajax, Pickering, Uxbridge and Oran- geville areas. Anyone with informa- tion is asked to call investigators at 416-808-3305 of 416-222-8477. Mr. Sanderson’s son Don, a hock- ey player who played with the Whitby Dunlops, died in January after falling and hitting his head on the ice during an in-game fight. CRIME Police seek Durham witnesses in coach’s sex assault case METROLAND FILE PHOTO DURHAM -- Wayne Michael Sanderson, 52, is charged with sexual assault. Toronto police say there could be more vic- tims. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 2, 20099 AP Spring Registration, Summer Camps & Birthday Parties BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Paul Cyr has been found guilty of the brutal slaying of Donald Woods, a trucker whose body was discovered three years ago in Pickering. Jurors returned with a verdict just before 4 p.m. Tuesday, having deliberated a little more than a day. They pronounced Mr. Cyr, 52, of Montreal, guilty of first-degree murder; he was also found guilty of theft over $5,000 in the theft of the slain trucker’s cargo, a load of fresh chicken with a value of $40,000. The muscular Mr. Cyr, clad in a blue shirt and jeans, betrayed no emotion when the verdict was delivered. Nicole Woods, wife of the murdered man, gasped and began to sob when the finding of guilt was read out. Tuesday’s conviction is Mr. Cyr’s second for a killing; he was released on parole in 2001 after serving 14 years for the second-degree killing of a Toronto man in a botched drug heist. Mr. Cyr now faces an automatic sen- tence of life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years for the first-degree mur- der of Mr. Woods. Jurors were not told of Mr. Cyr’s prior murder conviction or of other violent offences he’s committed. The case against Mr. Cyr was a circumstantial one. The prosecution, led by assistant Crown attorney Jinwon Kim, painstakingly presented evi- dence including phone records and security video clips that put Mr. Cyr in the area on the night Mr. Woods disappeared, June 21, 2006. Jurors heard evidence that Mr. Cyr’s truck- ing company had extended a job offer to Mr. Woods. And Nicole Woods testified that the last time she talked to her husband, he told her he was planning to meet a representative of that company at the 10 Acre truck stop in Belleville. Evidence presented by the Crown put Mr. Cyr at the truck stop at the same time as Mr. Woods the night he vanished. Mr. Kim also presented the jury with evidence that Mr. Cyr made contact the next morning with a GTA food processing company, where the stolen chicken was sold. It’s believed the sale of the stolen chicken netted about $20,000. Mr. Woods’s body was found in the cab of his truck, parked near the Wal-Mart on Brock Road in Pickering, on June 23, 2006. He had been shot point-blank in the back of the head with a shotgun. Mr. Cyr is to be formal- ly sentenced by Superior Court Justice Bryan Shaugnessy Thursday.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the problems we once associated withaging are actually related to disuse of the body - and the baby boomer generation are becoming wise to this fact. However, it isn’t only about bigger biceps and quads. One part of the body that many people don’t realize is directly linked to overall health is the mouth. However, good oral hygiene contributes to more than just an attractive smile and the elimination of bad breath. In fact, keeping your teeth and mouth clean can reduce the risk of heart disease and other medical conditions. In an effort to keep your mouth healthy, many oral healthcare professionals recommend incorporating a rechargeable power toothbrush into your daily routine, like a Philips Sonicare, which offers many advantages over regular manual modes. “The Philips Sonicare FlexCare adapts to your oral care needs and is clinically proven to remove signiﬁ cantly more plaque,” says Court Elliott of Philips Electronics, a global leader in personal care products. “Whether it’s a power rechargeable toothbrush that helps improve oral hygiene, or a CFL light bulb that cuts down on energy consumption, Philips is dedicated to improving consumers’ health and well-being.” Generation 50+ are sweating to the oldies and continuing to keep their bodies in great shape. It is important for them - and everyone else for that matter - to remember to keep their mouths ﬁ t and healthy as well.

Then in 2005, for an additional gallery expansion, the station and the Stanley box car were moved again across the street.

SR. B LACROSSE Weekened wins have Rock inching closer to third place Ajax-Pickering just one point behind Brooklin AJAX -- The Ajax-Pickering Rock have made the long climb out of a bit of a hole they dug and are now back to where they started. With just one victory in their first six out- ings to start the OLA Sr. B schedule, the Rock are now rolling, winners of three in a row and four of the past five, including an 8-7 victory in Wellington on Friday, and a big 12-9 home floor win over Brooklin on Saturday. Their record is now even, back to where it was when the season opened, sitting fourth in the six team loop at 5-5-1 with five games remaining on the docket. In Wellington, the Rock trailed 2-1 after the opening period, but exploded for seven goals in the second period to surge ahead 8-3. Wel- lington made it interesting in the third with four unanswered for the 8-7 final. Jamie Plunkett led the goal scoring with three, while Travis Bland led the team with four points, including two goals and two assists. Other goals went to David Brown, Glenn Clark and Garrett Kikot. At home the following day, the Rock were the ones with a big third period, erasing an 8- 7 deficit through two periods and outscoring Brooklin 5-1 over the final 20 minutes to pull out a 12-9 decision. The Rock’s leading scorer, Mark Craig, scored four times and added an assist, giv- ing him 16-11-27 totals on the season. Gar- rett Kerr scored twice, with singles going to Clark, Plunkett, Bryan Johnson, Travis Bland, Clem D’Orazio and Billy McLean. Jonas Derks chipped in with four helpers to lead the assist parade. The weekend leaves the Rock just one point behind Brooklin for third place, and a com- fortable seven points up on Wellington and Oshweken for the fourth and final playoff spot. The Rock returns to action on Friday when they host Brooklin at 8 p.m. at the Ajax Com- munity Centre. BASKETBALL Keane named to Canadian basketball team AJAX -- Kalisha Keane has been named to the final roster for the Develop- ment Women’s National Teams (DWNT) that will be competing at the Summer Universiade in Belgrade, Serbia, from July 1-12. Hosted by the International Univer- sity Sports Federation (FISU), this year marks the 25th edition of the Summer Universiade, the second largest multi- sport games in the world after the Olym- pic Games. Keane is a 6-foot-1 guard/forward basketball player with Michigan State University of the NCAA. Canada’s development teams are comprised of young athletes currently attending university, either in the CIS or NCAA. A sophomore at Michigan State University, she set the record for most points scored as a freshman with 460 and was named MSU’s Co-Player of the Year in 2008. A national team alumni, Keane has played for Canada on the Junior and U21 teams. As she develops along the national elite pathway, she is sure to play an integral role on the team this summer. The Canadian team will be looking to improve on a seventh place finish at the 2007 University Games in Bangkok, Thailand. BASKETBALL Gagliardi off to World Basketball Championships WHITBY -- Rob Gagliardi of Whitby is off to Auckland, New Zealand this week to compete with Canada’s Junior National basketball team at the FIBA U19 World Championships.
