The late Jack McGinnis was honoured for his lifelong work in various environmental issues in Pickering, many of which reached across the continent. Mayor Dave Ryan handed out the civic awards in the City’s bicentennial year on May 30 to acknowledge people, groups and businesses that have contributed greatly to Pickering. Mr. McGinnis’s wife Barb McGinnis and chil- dren accepted the special citation award on his behalf; he died of cancer at age 64 in January. “He was an amazing person,” said his tearful daughter, Shannon McGinnis, after the ceremo- ny. Mr. McGinnis founded Durham Sustain Abil- ity and before that, started the fist multi-materi- al curbside recycling program in 1974, and went on to establish the Recycling Council of Ontario. He led the design and development of Blue Box recycling, which is now used weekly by more than 70 million people across North America. “It was a happy moment for all of us,” Ms. McGinnis said of the standing ovation for her late husband.

Hideaway Bingo was originally located in Whitby but after owners closed their doors, they failed to receive permission from the Town of Whitby to open a new and smaller location downtown. Instead of applying for another site in Whitby, owners went to the Town of Ajax with plans to open a bingo hall in the Dis- covery Bay Centre at the corner of Lake Driveway and Westney Road, which is anchored by a Giant Tiger. The hall will be next to Giant Tiger on the south side in what used to be a day care. Councillors considered the issue at the committee level on May 16 and approved the hall at council on May 24. Hideaway owner Binod Singh was thrilled Ajax councillors supported his application. The next step is for the issue to go to the Alcohol and Gaming Commis- sion of Ontario (AGCO) and Mr. Singh is optimistic things will go well. “I could probably be open in August,” he said. But the approval didn’t come without a fight. Mr. Singh first went to Ajax council in June 2010 with the proposal to open the new hall and received approval at the com- mittee level. However, before it could be approved at council, Ajax’s bylaw department was alert- ed that Mr. Singh and the other proponents of the plan hadn’t given businesses and residents in the area the proper notice of a public meeting on the issue. At the time, bylaw manager Derek Han- nan said that since Hideaway would have to go through the application process again and since the municipal election was coming up in the fall, the issue likely wouldn’t be addressed until 2011. Just like last year, at the May 16 com- mittee meeting, councillors heard from proponents and opponents of the plan, including the owner of Pickering’s Delta Bingo, who along with Oshawa hall own- ers, purchased and closed Ajax’s former bingo hall in 2007. Several people spoke and said they were hoping for a small hall in Ajax where they could play with friends, as did represen- tatives for businesses including Giant Tiger store manager Sean Wilson, who said traffic to the plaza has been declin- ing in recent years and a bingo hall could help. “It’s just another thing to solidify the plaza as a destination for customers,” he said. Karen Ormerod, executive director of Durham Hospice, was among those opposing the plan, saying there would be less revenue available for charities that currently fundraise through bingos at Delta Bingo in Pickering. As it stands, 45 per cent of the take at bingo halls goes to charity. “My concern is really saturation, the pie is only so big and the slices get smaller and smaller,” she said. Pickering Delta Bingo owner Cam John- stone also opposed the plan, saying he didn’t think the area could support two halls, but Mr. Singh countered that his customers were looking for a different experience from the larger Delta Bingo. “If a bingo player is really interested in winning big prizes, they’re not going to come play bingo in Ajax because our prize levels are much lower ... why are they going to come? They’ll come because their friends are there.” Mr. Hannan urged Ajax councillors to focus on the local issues. “Ajax council should only be considering factors that deal solely with Ajax ... abso- lutely no consideration should be given to the bingo industry as a whole in the region while considering this proposal,” he said. Mr. Hannan added that it’s up to the AGCO to decide if the area can support another bingo hall. Ultimately, councillors unanimous- ly supported Mr. Singh’s proposal with Mayor Steve Parish saying he believed the bingo hall would create economic spin-off for plaza owners. Councillor Pat Brown said she thought it would be popular with residents. “Many seniors have approached me over the years about a lack of place to play bingo in Ajax.” UNDER THE B...

Durham police are still investigating the accident, which occurred at Brock Road and Concession 7 at about 7 a.m. Police said a 20-year-old Oshawa man driving a Grand Am turned onto Brock Road from Concession 7 and struck a southbound Toyota Camry being driven by a Scugog Township man. The Scugog man, 65, was airlifted to a Toronto-area hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Grand Am wasn’t hurt. Police closed the roadway for several hours to investigate the crash and want to hear from witnesses. Call 905-579-1520, ext. 5213. AJAX -- Four people have been arrested by Durham police investigating a home inva- sion robbery earlier this year in Ajax. On Thursday cops, including members of the Guns and Gang Enforcement Unit, exe- cuted search warrants at three residences in Scarborough and North York, nabbing suspects and in the process seizing large amounts of drugs and cash. The investigation began Feb. 28, when three men, one of them armed with a semi-auto- matic pistol, barged into a basement apart- ment on Ravenscroft Road and forced four people inside to lie on the floor. The bandits stole two cellphones and left the scene in a car. During Thursday’s raids police arrested five people and seized a pound of marijuana, 40 grams of crack cocaine, more than $31,000 in cash and ammunition. Lyndon Rainford, 23, of Lee Centre Drive, Scarborough, and Mikeesha Izzard-Bryan, 21, of Greenvale Crescent, Pickering, face 21 charges including robbery, weapon and drug offences. Two other people, Kalvin Malcolm, 25, and 19-year-old Natalia Williams, face drug charges.

The day included a tour of the decades, refreshments and student performances. PICKERING -- Police used GPS coordi- nates to locate a boat carrying seven peo- ple as it drifted off the shore of Pickering Sunday night. The owner of the 25-foot vessel called 911 at about 9:30 p.m. after running out of gas, Durham police Sergeant Nancy van Rooy said. As Durham’s marine unit was deployed elsewhere, a call was made to Air and Sea Rescue, based out of Trenton. Before a helicopter was deployed Toronto police offered help and sent two boats to the area, Sgt. van Rooy said. Using GPS coordinates, police located the vessel about three kilometres south- east of the Pickering nuclear plant. The vessel was towed safely to shore and no one required medical attention, Sgt. van Rooy said. POLICE Boaters stranded off Pickering shoreline rescued by Toronto cops LONG WEEKEND Fun fireworks, dangerous mess To the editor: Every year we look forward to the time for the magic fire in the sky. For a few brief moments all in the world just seems to be right while we fall under a mystical spell, whether we head to the local fireworks dis- play or we buy our own. It seems people are forgetting about the safety factor. Lots of fireworks were done safely at the park nearby, although it was disappointing to see the mess that was left behind. Really, if you brought it you should take it. This morning I saw a bad side of it as I rescued a robin that was hanging from a tree by a string. The string had wrapped around the poor guy’s foot. He did fly away, although it looked as if his leg was broken. We share our world with many other creatures whether they are out all day long or scurry around at night. We may not always see them but they are there so we should take a few minutes to think about our animal friends and clean up our parks. Angela Coombs Ajax DEVELOPMENT Paving, chopping don’t help environment To the editor: Re: ‘Proposed Liverpool development con- cerns residents’, news, durhamregion.com, May 11, 2011. The environmental benefits of one hect- are of grass is that it produces more oxygen than one hectare of forest and can provide a cooling effect up to 8 C in the summer. According to Internet sources, a 15.24 x 15.24-metre area of lawn can provide oxy- gen for a family of four; and a mature tree absorbs ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc. What will the environmental effect be when the existing nine homes, lawns and dozens of mature trees along Liverpool, Glendale and Glenanna in Pickering are bulldozed and 67 townhouses, driveways, lollipop trees and roads replace them? A conservative estimate would bring an additional 100 vehicles and if each vehicle drove in an out of the development only once each day where is the exhaust pollu- tion going? What is the developer required to provide to help clean the air and reduce our carbon footprint? I urge Pickering council, Durham Region and other layers of government to rethink their alternative to urban sprawl. Paving over and chopping down the very sources vital to improve our air quality is not for- ward thinking. Mary Cook Pickering SAFETY Emergency vehicles could cause an emergency To the editor: There is an incredible focus on health and safety in our society. I was recently driving into an intersection on a green light at 9:30 p.m. Out of the cor- ner of my eye I saw an ambulance (lights flashing but no siren) travelling through a red light. I slammed on my brakes, and barely stopped in time. The driver sheep- ishly looked at me as he just missed my bumper. The next day a friend with his wife and toddler in the car was hit broadside by a police car (same thing, no siren and going through a red light at over 100 km/h). Running a red at full speed is criminal. Stop playing Russian roulette with our citi- zens. We all want to get home safely at the end of the day. Greg Lockhart Whitby A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

The data, gathered at flu shot clinics across Durham Region at the height of the H1N1 scare in the fall of 2009, was contained on the tiny memory device and apparently lost by a public health staff member in a parking lot. In consequence, a $40-million class action lawsuit was launched and generat- ed much debate on both sides of the issue. Those whose identities were compromised have every right to seek judicial interven- tion as they could be at risk for identity theft. Some, however, even those whose identities were included on the USB key, say they haven’t been harmed as a result of the loss and believe the lawsuit is a sim- ple attempt at leveraging cash from a gov- ernment perceived as having a bottomless well of revenue. Each position has merit. But our system of justice provides rem- edies for those who believe they’ve been harmed through the actions of others, and rejects those deemed frivolous or vexa- tious. In Durham’s case the lawsuit was duly filed and now we must let it take its course. The suit filed by the Whitby law firm of Flaherty Dow Elliot and McCarthy was cer- tified in late April and claims the Region was negligent, that it breached its fiducia- ry duty, violated individual privacy and breached the Canadian Charter of Right and Freedoms. None of the allegations have yet been proven, but the process is underway and, again, we must let the process unfold. That the USB key was lost or misplaced is not in dispute. The court must decide the appropriate remedy that flows from that. But in another context, this unfortunate circumstance underscored the need for greater oversight of sensitive personal data of Durham Region’s residents, and a more rigorous process to ensure the security of that information, steps which have since been taken by Regional officials. Regular reviews of its rigour would ensure the high- est possible level of security for the infor- mation entrusted to its care. In the meantime, those whose identities may have been compromised in the loss but who don’t support the case, can easily opt out by following the details explained in the letter and reduce the volume of liti- gants that are party to the suit. But some action must flow from this loss of important, sensitive personal data, if Durham is to move beyond the incident, review its policies to ensure the utmost security of this vital information of citizens in the future, and meet its obligations to each and every Durham Region resident to properly protect them from identity theft. If you’re reading this, then you, like me, didn’t make the cut for last week’s much- prophesied Rapture on May 21; the bodily removal to heaven of all born-again believ- ers. I’m not saying it didn’t happen. It just didn’t happen to anybody I know. I play hockey with a guy who had a rupture on that day and my son actually cleaned his room without being asked, but that was as close to any miracle as I got. And I had actually thought I had a pretty good chance of being on the short list. In my early 20s, in a combined state of insecurity, loneliness and general confusion with my life’s destiny, I fell in with a crowd of born- again Christians. And I’m not here to disparage them in any way. They were lovely, nice people who treated me with kindness and respect. And they helped get me through a difficult part of my life. You’ll never hear me speak ill of them, for the same reasons you’ll never hear me badmouth those roller derby twins from Keswick I met in the early ’80s. Any port in a storm. No, the problem, as usual, lay with me. I just wasn’t terribly good at being born again. At first it was easy. I had lots of new friends, many of whom wore dresses, smelled won- derful and were curvy in all the right plac- es. I had a suddenly full social calendar and while Bible study might not exactly rate with ‘clubbing’ for excitement, I must point out it was frequented by many of the afore- mentioned nice-smelling females. Things were going terrifically. But then something changed. A year or so into my born-again sojourn, I enrolled in a Bible school in the Adirondacks of upper New York state. One night, I found myself walking alone beneath a sea of bril- liantly blazing stars in a February sky. The rest of the students were gathered in a huge auditorium, singing hymns, clapping and getting fired up by a visiting evangelist. They seemed to be having a pretty good time. I could hear their ‘Amens’ bouncing enthu- siastically off of the mountains around me. But I just couldn’t join them. The penny had already dropped for me. It was suddenly as clear as that mountain air why I would never amount to much of a born-again anything. I felt that being born once was just dandy. I couldn’t see how anything, in any heaven, anywhere, could be more beautiful than what I was seeing and experiencing around me. Life had stopped being scary and uncer- tain and ominous and had instead, become, wonderful and inviting and full of untold promise. Right here...on earth. I remember stopping at a pay phone that night, my frosty breath rising lazily towards the heavens, born upon the echo of several hundred zealous, ecclesiastical voices, and calling my parents to see if they could come and take me home. Bless their hearts forev- er, they drove all night to get me. And so yes, I thought perhaps, if and when the Rapture occurred, my name might still, possibly, be on the roster. Maybe not the starting lineup, but possibly the DL or waiv- ers? I’m the first to admit it was a long shot and frankly, in the end, it didn’t matter. I don’t know if you remember what kind of a day it was on May 21, but it was stagger- ingly beautiful. It was, in fact, heavenly. And truthfully, there was a Rapture of a kind hap- pening. I know I felt it. I hope you did too. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. 7 P durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 1, 2011NEIL CRONE My kind of Rapture happens with a beautiful day NIMBYism is alive and well To the editor: Re: The issue of cell towers, windmills and other ‘not in my backyard’ issues: I am not a proponent of the communi- cations industry in this country. In fact, I believe the companies involved are bloat- ed, inefficient, and poor providers of cus- tomer service. That being said, the demand for their services is increasing. The use of social media, texting and old-fashioned phone calling is becoming so ubiquitous that it is rare to find some- one in a group not tied to their phone. So-called “dead zones” (areas with lim- ited reception) are a nightmare as peo- ple become more and more addicted to the idea of being in contact with all of the world all of the time. However, we certainly can’t be expected to build the infrastructure that is required -- not in my backyard. Windmills, road networks, nuclear safety sirens, garbage facilities -- the list of required necessities that aren’t built because a minority doesn’t want them is seemingly endless. Of course, Councillor Jennifer O’Connell is standing up for the “little guy”, who I will term the minority, yet I personally doubt that she will give up using her phone. People cite health concerns as one of the detrimental factors of windmills and cell towers. Many of these same people drive their cars, use their phones, go out in the sun, breathe the air that is riddled with pol- lution. The hypocrites and not-in-my- backyarders can’t always be right. Some- times the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. So many are quick to condemn without finding a viable solution. Maybe an alter- native to help the situation would be all those who don’t want the infrastructure should not be allowed to use the service. No electricity for the windmill and fos- sil fuel and nuclear detractors. No cell- phones for the tower opponents, etc. With the reduced demand, maybe noth- ing more would have to be built. Then all would be happy. Adrian Goldmintz Pickering RYAN PFEIFFER/ BEHIND THE LENS WHITBY -- A couple of patrons browsed the stacks at the Whitby Pub- lic Library on Feb. 15 dur- ing centennial year cele- brations. It’s nice to get an assignment with a little bit of creative freedom such as this one. I was simply asked to get a handful of pictures of people using the library. I wanted to get a shot of someone in the stacks and the massive windows at the library lent themselves well to shooting a silhouette. I just needed to wait a little bit for the patron to pull a book from the shelf. The Real Estate Investment Network ranked the top Ontario cities and towns for real estate investment.

NE061H111 OWN FROM $80 PER MONTH † TOTAL PICKERINGTOWN CENTRE 905-420-8000 Jason McGinnis said his father had high hopes for Pickering’s journey to sustainability. Other award categories included individual volunteer, youth leader- ship, economic development and amateur sports. Brother and sister Jeremy Stott, 15, and Courtney Stott, 19, began rowing at the same time and the two champions both received ama- teur athlete awards. “I’m glad we’re getting it togeth- er,” said Courtney, a sprint kayaker and University of Ottawa student. “That’s pretty cool.” The two took home 10 medals combined from the Canadian Sprint Canoe-Kayak Championships in Regina last year. Courtney hopes to make the Canadian National Team, and Jeremy is focusing on the Junior Canoe Sprint World Champion- ships that will be held in 2013. Jeremy, a St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School student, said their father has been rowing for nearly 40 years and the siblings began rowing when Courtney was 12 and Jeremy was nine. New this year was the heritage award, going to John Edmonds and John Sabean. Both sported period costumes at the awards ceremo- ny, and in a gathering for the win- ners beforehand, Mr. Sabean gave a short history on the two men his 1830s costume represented: Ebenezer Birrell, an amateur art- ist, farmer and superintendent of schools, and Charles Fothergill, an artist and naturalist. “They’re two of my favourite char- acters in Pickering,” he said. This enthusiasm got him the award, along with his founding of the Pickering Township Histori- cal Society, of which he’s currently president, and chairing Heritage Pickering for many years. He also played a big role in revitalizing Pick- ering’s waterfront and is chairman of the Pickering Library Board. Mr. Edmonds has volunteered at the Pickering Museum Village for more than a decade, writing scripts, directing and performing in pro- ductions such as A Spirt Walk. Another big winner was Lorne Almack, who received a lifetime achievement award. He’s been heavily involved for many years with Ontario Naturalists, now known as Ontario Nature. He also donated 34 hectares of his prop- erty in Claremont to the charitable organization. “Thanks to his gener- osity and vision, the land will contin- ue to provide vital habitat for wildlife while also providing other significant environmental benefits,” Mayor Ryan said. He founded the Green Door Alli- ance and was a catalyst in found- ing the Durham Conservation Asso- ciation. Over the years, he’s writ- ten many presentations in support of various environmental causes, such as his recent argument for maintain- ing private working farms within the proposed national Rouge Valley Park system. “At 87, Mr. Almack remains active and passionately engaged in environmental issues,” Mayor Ryan said. 2010 RECIPIENTS Special Citation Award • Intellimeter • Jack McGinnis Lifetime achievement award • Lorne Almack • Jeffrey Martell • Walter Norwood Individual volunteer award • Rose Cowan • Keith Falconer • Andy O’Connor • Rajalakshmi Shukla Service group award • Canadian Progress Club, Durham South • Kinsmen, Kinette Club of Pickering Community group award • Pickering Caribbean Canadian Cul- tural Association • Pickering Squash Club Amateur sports award • Shelley-Ann Brown • Erik Glavic • Courtney Stott and Jeremy Stott Youth volunteer award • Aaren Gillis Youth leadership award • Boris Dyakov • Shanice Tenyka Stewart Sustainability award • Hubbell Canada LP Arts award • Kayla McFarland • Matthew Riches Cultural diversity award • Tamil Cultural and Academic Society of Durham Region • Tanesha Thirukumar Heritage award • John Edmonds • John Sabean Economic development award • Howard Marten Company Ltd.

The good news is that the economy has forced manufactures to become more efficient and to provide their mattresses at better prices. MasterBedroom is passing on these reduced prices to the customers, which means owning a great mattress is now more affordable than ever! In addition to becoming more efficient and price conscious, manufacturers such as Sealy and Tempur-Pedic are also making their mattresses better. The new mattresses are becoming more organic and breathable. There is more use of bamboo, cotton and wool in making of mattresses that help keep a normal temperature and make the mattress more comfortable. Bamboo specifically whisks moisture away, which has the added benefit of discouraging mites that thrive on your body fluids left in your mattress. At MasterBedroom, there is a great selection of mattresses to choose from, including mattresses from manufactures such as Sealy, Tempur-Pedic, Therapedic and Strata. The sleep specialists at MasterBedroom have been helping Durham residents find the right sleep surface since 1982. If you are not getting the sleep you need, or are waking up tired or sore, you owe it to yourself to visit MasterBedroom and find the perfect mattresses. They can help you determine the cause of your problem, whether its allergies, feeling too hot while you sleep, a partner who disturbs your sleep or just an old mattress. Let their experienced staff help you find the right mattress the first time! A mattress alone doesn’t make a bedroom. MasterBedroom also has a great selection of Canadian made bedroom furniture. The store has Durham’s largest selection of College Woodwork Furniture, a manufacturer based in Oshawa. For over 100 years, College Woodwork has been making birch hardwood furniture. Customers can choose their preferred style, size, stain and hardware - essentially creating custom furniture. MasterBedroom also carries a pine line from an Ontario manufacturer with similar custom choices available. One of their most popular brands isAmisco, a manufacturer based in Quebec, that includes custom made stools, beds in lots of styles, sizes and finishes. MasterBedroom has two convenient locations in the Durham Region and is open seven days a week. The Pickering store is located at 1755 Pickering Parkway in the Home & Idea Centre. They can be reached at (905) 427-2047. The Whitby store is located at 1540 Dundas Street East, on the northwest corner of Thickson Road and Dundas. They can reached at (905) 668-4300.

Sean Brown said, “I can’t answer that. Leave it at that.” The Whitby firm of Flaherty Dow Elliott and McCarthy are representing plain- tiffs in a $40-million class action lawsuit against the Region over the loss of a USB key containing information on 84,000 people who received an H1N1 flu shot in 2009. Justice Peter Lauwers of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved the suit in late April and Bowmanville resident John Sherlock Rowlands was appointed as the ‘representative’ of the class. Mr. Brown wouldn’t say if Mr. Rowlands contacted the firm or if the firm contacted him. “I can’t get into that. Attorney, client privilege,” Mr. Brown said in an interview. The suit claims the Region was negli- gent, breached a fiduciary duty, violated people’s privacy and breached the Cana- dian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. None of the claims have been proven in court. The USB key was lost in the parking lot of the Regional headquarters by a public health nurse in December of 2009. On the key was information on the 83,524 people who had been vaccinated between Oct. 23 and Dec. 15, 2009 at flu vaccination clinics provided by the Regional health depart- ment. Information collected includes the person’s name, address, phone number, date of birth, health card number, name of their primary physician, and personal health information provided when they got the vaccination. “As a consequence of the various causes of action, the Plaintiffs have suffered spe- cial damages, meaning money damages for the purpose of obtaining credit mon- itoring for a period of years by the court. Further, the Plaintiffs may be entitled to punitive, aggravated and exemplary dam- ages,” the plaintiffs state in their court fil- ing. Mr. Brown said the $40 million total was chosen based on a “defendant’s sub- mission, that was the limit of their insur- ance.” From a litigation standpoint, the exchange of documents and discovery are the next steps, which will happen in Sep- tember. “We hope 2012” for when the mat- ter would be dealt with in court, he stated. “Certainly won’t be by the end of this year. Subject to court availability, 2012, early 2012.” Under class action rules, people who don’t want to take part have to opt out. If they don’t, they’re automatically involved. The period to opt out runs to 5 p.m. on Aug. 31. “Claim members may opt out if they wish,” Mr. Brown said, adding he wouldn’t speculate on why someone would opt out of the suit. “This law firm isn’t receiving the notic- es,” he noted. Opt out notices are sent to Deloitte and Touche, the firm appointed by the courts to act as administrator of the suit. “I don’t know what the options might be. Everyone has a choice.” The Region is being represented by the Toronto firm of David Boghosian and Associates.

LET’S BE FRIENDS >>newsdurham -- durhamregion.com FOLLOW OUR TWITTER FEED >>newsdurham Drop opening two games to Kitchener and Brampton BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Through two games of Major Series Lacrosse, the Ajax Rock have been good enough to stay close. But that’s not good enough any- more, said GM/head coach Paul St. John. The Rock are O-fer to start the season after losing 9-6 to Kitchen- er in the season opener last week, and then dropping their home opener on Sunday night 8-6 to the Brampton Excelsiors at the Ajax Community Centre. “It’s never good enough to be close,” said St. John after Sun- day’s game. “We should be 2-0 in my mind. We’re not executing on offence. You don’t win with six goals in any league. Very rare- ly will you win a 6-5 game. Losing 8-6 and 9-6 tells me we could have won both games. “It’s disappointing to be 0-2. Last year we would have said, ‘OK great. We’ve played two good, close games.’ But we’re no longer an expansion club so we can’t use that as an excuse anymore.” The Rock had to play catch-up all night long, and almost did at different points in the second and third periods, closing to within one each time after falling behind by a trio early in the game. Brampton was up 3-0 before Ryan Tower got the Rock on the board, with the teams exchang- ing goals to close out the period, Mike Vertolli scoring for the Rock for a 4-2 Brampton advantage through 20 minutes. Travis Bland pulled the Rock to within one with a short-handed tally in the second, but Brampton answered with two more to close out the middle frame ahead 6-3. Rock goals by Brandon Collins and Kyle Donahue pulled the Rock to within one at 6-5 with 6:30 to go, but Brampton scored twice more to just one for the Rock by Garett Kikot for the final. Bland led the offence for the Rock with a goal and three help- ers, while Jason Mainer assisted on three goals and Jesse Guerin on two. Asked to pinpoint the difference between winning and losing the close games, St. John didn’t hes- itate to answer “scoring goals.” Early on, it’s something the Rock are struggling with, a carryover from last season when they had the lowest total in the league as an expansion franchise. “Not enough practices with everybody,” said St. John of the reason behind the lack of execu- tion on offence. “We haven’t had a chance to really work on any offen- sive systems. That’s still no excuse. We have talent that can put the ball in the net. They’re having a tough time getting the shots they need. “We need to get secondary scor- ing in transition like we have in the past. This year, so far, we haven’t had enough of that.” The Rock will be back in action tonight against the Brooklin Red- men, with game time 8 p.m. at Iro- quois Park Sports Centre. Peter- borough will be in Ajax on Friday at 8 p.m. Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 1, 201118 AP MAJOR SERIES LACROSSE Ajax Rock not good enough early on Last year we would have said, ‘OK great.

B LACROSSE Undisciplined play costs Ironheads two points Ajax-based team settles for split BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ron Reed has his coach- ing certificate, but it’s beginning to sound like he needs one in psy- chology as well. The head coach of the Iron- heads Jr. B lacrosse team based in Ajax is having a hard time trying to figure out what his players are thinking sometimes, especially when it comes to taking penalties. Particularly needless ones that cost the club a chance at a victo- ry. Take Friday’s 20-13 loss in Mim- ico for example. “Undisciplined nonsense once again,” was how Reed summed up the setback. “We are addressing the issue of undisciplined play. Sometimes you just don’t know what’s in a kid’s head. I don’t even know how to say it tactfully that you could put in print. “The thing is it comes down to a lack of discipline and cost us another two points. Those are issues we are going to have to continue to deal with if we are going to get better.” Nine of Mimico’s 20 goals came courtesy of the power play, as the Ironheads racked up 73 minutes in penalties to just 33 by Mimico. The Ironheads actually had the lead at 6-4 after the opening peri- od and stretched it to 8-5 in the second before Mimico scored five in a row, with all but one on the power play. Down 11-9 heading into the third, the Ironheads sur- rendered five goals in eight min- utes to start the period, stretch- ing the deficit to 16-9, and it was over. Four players collected four points each on the night, with Gage Board scoring four times, Kenzie Smith scoring twice and adding two assists, Cade Zulak adding a goal and three helpers, and Brock Levick assisting on four. At the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday afternoon, the Iron- heads took care of business early in a 13-6 victory, up 5-0 after the first period and 8-0 into the sec- ond before Mississauga got on the board. Zulak led the way with 2-4-6 point totals, followed by Michael Hart (3-1-4), Board (3-1- 4) and Smith with four assists. The weekend leaves the Iron- heads with a 7-4-0 record, good enough for second in the Mid East division, sixth overall in the conference with just nine games left in the regular season. For the first time in a long time, the Iron- heads can start looking ahead to the playoffs with just under half the season remaining. “We’re going into the second half of the season and going into it with a new vision,” said Reed. “Hopefully a vision of more disci- pline, let’s make ourselves better, and hopefully we get ourselves into a favourable playoff position. “As it stands now we are in a playoff position. We hope we can improve our quality of play and quality of discipline as we go along. Who knows where that will lead? Hopefully into the play- offs and we’ll see what we can do there.” The Ironheads will do a little team bonding this weekend with a trip east to play in Nepean Sat- urday and Gloucester on Sunday.

Entering the Tier 1 division as the 15th seed, the Durham team came away with gold after going undefeated on the Saturday and Sunday of the tournament, including a win over the Wood- stock Warriors in the final. Day 1 had the girls in a pool with the Quebec provincial champions and second overall seed, Celtique, from Montreal. The DRVC girls placed second in the pool behind Celtique after a three-set loss. Day 2 was another difficult day with the girls facing the Ontar- io provincial champions Aurora Storm, but that may have been the best thing as they finished the day undefeated to be placed first overall. Day 3 was win-or-go-home day and the first game put DRVC against Celtique again, but this time DRVC were ready and took the match in two straight sets. The local girls continued from there, defeating the Etobicoke Titans in the semifinals and the Woodstock Warriors in the final to win the prestigious Tier 1 national championship title. Team members include Laura Duncan, Kristen Bond, Emma Somerville, Sarah Hill, Sam Car- roll, Alisha Poole, Danielle Mur- phy, Brier Kaake, Nicole Taylor and Abbigail Prins. The team was coached by Lindsay Brennan, Matt Brennan and Laura Wells. SUBMITTED PHOTO SHERBROOKE -- The DRVC 14U girls’ volleyball team won the Canada East open girls’ national championship tournament in Quebec this season. VOLLEYBALL National champions Durham 13U girls’ team takes Tier 1 provincial championship WATERLOO -- The Durham Attack Aces 13U girls’ volleyball team closed out a successful sea- son by finishing first in the Tier 1 division of the provincial cham- pionships in Waterloo. Being ranked third out of 38 teams, the girls were ready for tough competition throughout the weekend. The first game put the Aces against Hamilton MVC and they won, 25-8 and 25-11. In match two, the Aces faced Oakville Thunder White and won again in straight sets, 25-16 and 25-10. The toughest competition that day came against Durham Attack Knack, and after some great ral- lies, the Aces won 25-19, 25-10. Day 2 presented more challeng- es as the Aces went into the cross- overs and faced another Durham Attack team, T.A.B.U. After drop- ping their first set of the tourna- ment, 17-25, the Aces battled back to win the next two, 25-16 and 16-14. In the quarter-final match, the Aces were up against South County Black Bandits, winning 25-16, 25-13. They started to feel the pres- sure by the time they started the semifinal match, but proved they could play under tough condi- tions when they won 25-14, 25-17 against Barrie Elites Black. For gold, the Aces had to play against Niagara Rapids Black, a strong team. All 12 girls brought their A game and won both sets, 25-19, 26-24. Coached by Chris Dunn, the team includes Abby Ridding, Bre- anna Golding, Brittany Miller, Deanna Naccarato, Emily Arm- strong, Emma Armstrong, cap- tain Giselle Edwards, Julia Balat- bat, Lillianna Hariasz, Madison Jenkins, Sierra Steele and Stepha- nie Armstrong.
