The new Pickering Learning Centre will offer graduate certificates and continuing educa- tion programs to students throughout Durham Region and beyond. The facility, which will be located in the new office complex adjacent to the Pickering Town Centre, will be linked to public transit by a pedestrian bridge, currently under construction, spanning Hwy. 401. “About three years ago we started on the journey to build this facility,” said Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan at an event to announce the new learning centre on Monday, June 20. “We have this wonderful new pedestrian bridge, which has been coined ‘the bridge to our future.’ And now here we are with that first step in our future. This is the first learning cen- tre in our community and it’s a truly momen- tous occasion.” New learning centre for Pickering DURHAM, CENTENNIAL COLLEGES PARTNER ON INITIATIVE JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Durham College president Don Lovisa spoke on June 20 of a new college in Pickering that will be located in the new office building at the Pickering Town Centre. 905-683-6074 Full & Partial Dentures BPS® Dentures House Calls AvailableDenture ClinicsDeegan we’ll give you a reason to smile...

In the past two weeks two men have died after separate trailer fires in Ontar- io. Investiga- tors from the Fire Marshal’s office have since con- firmed that no working smoke alarms were recovered from either trailer. Fires in seasonal homes can spread incredibly fast, and as a result Pickering Fire Services is reminding residents that they are required by law to have working smoke alarms in trailers, motor homes and other recreational vehicles. In addi- tion, vehicles or boats used for sleeping should also be equipped with a carbon monoxide alarm. “The Ontario Fire Code requires every dwelling unit in Ontario to have working smoke alarms on every storey and out- side all sleeping areas,” said Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas. “What many people may not know is that the term dwelling unit includes sea- sonal homes such as park model trail- ers, cabins and cottages and may include trailer homes, motor homes and other recreational vehicles.” While new trailer and RV models may already meet a construction standard requiring working smoke alarms, older models may not be equipped with any or alarms may not have been properly maintained. Smoke alarms should be tested before sleeping in any seasonal homes and then monthly and after any absence of more than a few days. Smoke alarms that are more than 10 years old should be replaced. “Smoke alarms can alert you and give you and your family the precious time needed to safely escape a fire,” said Chief Douglas. “Install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in any structure where people may be sleeping or living.” Failure to comply with Fire Code smoke alarm requirements can result in a $235 ticket or fines of up to $100,000.

And while we all know our country is big and beau- tiful, how well do we know its history? Roderick Benns, our friend at Fireside Publishing House in Whitby, knows his stuff. So here’s a Cana- da Day Quiz he made up for us. Check out how well you did when we print the answers on Canada Day in next Friday’s paper. 1) Known as ‘the greatest land geographer who ever lived’ this Canadian (1784-1850) mapped 3.9 million square kilometres of North America. Was it Meri- wether Lewis, David Thompson, Alexander Macken- zie or Lester Pearson? 2) What was John A. Macdonald’s middle name? 3) When Canada became a country in 1867, it was comprised of only four provinces. Name them. 4) What province became the fifth to join Canada? 5) Who was Canada’s longest-serving prime min- ister? John A. Macdonald, Wilfrid Laurier, William Lyon Mackenzie King or Pierre Trudeau? 6) One Canadian prime minister is not buried in Canada. Is it Alexander Mackenzie, Wilfrid Laurier, Robert Borden or Richard Bennett? 7) One of the greatest victories of the First World War was won by Canada, occurring in 1917, the first time the Canadian Corps fought together. Was it the Battle of Ortona, Battle of the Somme, Battle of Passchen- daele or Battle of Vimy Ridge? 8) All of the following were Canadian inventions except one. Which one is not Canadian -- the zipper, the game of basketball, Q-tips or the paint roller? 9) How many prime ministers has Canada had -- 18, 20, 22 or 25? 10) Have there been more Conservative or Liberal prime ministers?

Correction TorsTar news services LINDSAY -- Kawartha Lakes Police have confirmed that five people, including a Bowmanville woman, were arrested dur- ing the execution of a search warrant on Georgian Street in Lindsay June 22, in which a Peterborough police constable was shot multiple times. It’s also reported that a man killed inside the residence was identified as a 21-year-old Durham Region man. Police say all but one of the people arrested were released unconditionally pending further investigation, but Jenni- fer Nicholson, 39, of Bowmanville, faces one charge of breach of recognizance and is scheduled to appear in Lindsay court June 23. Few details about the investigation have been released, but the Province’s Special Investigations Unit has confirmed a man was shot and killed at the home, located at 31 Georgian St. Constable Keith Calderwood, 37, was taken to St. Michael’s Hospital in Toron- to. At a press conference held by Kawartha Lakes Police Chief John Hagarty and Peterborough-Lakefield Police Chief Murray Rood in Lindsay, Chief Rodd said Const. Calderwood was conscious and talking when he was being transported to Toronto. “He was in good spirits and he was cer- tainly relieved to see his wife before he got on that helicopter,” he said of the father of three. His condition is listed as stable and he is expected to recover. Const. Calderwood has been with the Peterborough-Lakefield police force since 2004.

I hope you are proud. You see, I just pur- chased myself my very own bike, with a child’s trailer, about a month ago. I was very proud. It was mine, but my two-year- old daughter and six-year-old son enjoyed our bike rides together. Not only that, this was my primary mode of transportation. As a single mother, funds are tight but I made this purchase know- ing it would improve our summer. We had already started our summer by exploring all the wonderful trails Ajax has to offer. My plans were to take my children to every park in Ajax throughout the sum- mer. In the end I really hope you needed it more than I did. I hope you know you have crushed my spirit. But you will not win. I will bounce back from this but you get to look at yourself every day in the mirror and you do know what you have done, and know that you stole from someone who needed the bike. We will enjoy every moment of this sum- mer. Angela Coombs Ajax feedback Columm needs clarification To the editor: Re: Neil Crone's column 'My kind of Rap- ture happens with a beautiful day,' dur- hamregion.com June 3, 2011. I appreciate good humour (even if it is couched in sensationalism) as much as anyone, but there is also truth. Neil's column needs clarification, espe- cially what the new birth (born-again) is, what mainstream Christians actually believe about the Rapture (i.e. no date set- ting), what the Bible actually teaches and that there are several views of the Rapture, which takes place in the context of Christ's return. I (and many others) believe that if some- one is going to write on religious events or issues, he or she should at least check out the background of Harold Camping (who determined the ‘date’ of the Rapture) and tried to understand where he stands in terms of mainstream Christianity. I (and others) would appreciate an opportunity to reply. Rayburne F. Winsor Oshawa finance Federal budget cutting important social spending To the editor: Re: ‘Same old prudent budget, new major- ity government’, editorial, June 8, 2011. Unfortunately, the Harper budget is far from prudent. Over four years there is $11 billion in cuts, on top of $10 billion in previously announced cuts. Twenty-one billion dollars is not com- petent fiscal management, it’s hacking the economy with a butcher knife. This is not the “waste” or “fat” they like to talk about, but important social spending that helps people in need, like job training or safety regulations. If Mr. Harper and Mr. Flaherty really want ed to balance the federal budget, they could have started by cancelling their cor- porate tax cuts. The right-wing Fraser Institute consis- tently rates Canada as one of the top 10 most business-friendly countries in the world, so raising the rate several points will hardly imperil our growth.

For years, Pickering has been surrounded by higher-learning facilities: to the west is the Scarborough Campus of the University of Toronto and Centennial College. To the east is Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. And while they aren’t that far away from Pickering, and local residents attend all four, if you’re a university or college student with a lot of studying to do and perhaps a part-time job, if you don’t have a car, travel time on public transit can take a fair chunk of your valuable day. The Pickering Learning Centre opens in the fall of 2012, a partnership between Dur- ham and Centennial colleges. It will offer full- and part-time programming where stu- dents can pursue graduate studies, enhance their skills or gain additional training. It’s a great mix of opportunities provided, given our slow recovery from the economic reces- sion, with jobs hard to come by and work- ers, many of them experienced, looking for opportunities to train. Besides that, Pickering residents are among the best- educated in the region, and the opportu- nities the centre will provide takes this into account. And the centre’s location is an ideal one for students: it will be in the new office complex near the Pickering Town Centre, linked to public transit by the pedestrian bridge currently under construction. As a result, the centre should become an attrac- tive option for students beyond Pickering’s borders, who will be able to easily access it. Mayor Dave Ryan, speaking of the centre when it was announced on Monday, noted it was a “momentous occasion” as the cen- tre is the City’s first learning centre. And both he and Durham College presi- dent Don Lovisa suggested the centre might be the beginning of something even bigger, given the tens of thousands of people who will call the Seaton development home. Mayor Ryan said, “we believe this is the first step to having a full-blown post-secondary campus in the city.” And, in fact, there is a property in the Seaton lands earmarked for post-secondary, with Mr. Lovisa stating “several partners are currently having con- versations about what might be possible there.” The Pickering Learning Centre is an excel- lent birthday present for the City in its bicen- tennial year. It’s definitely the time for such a facility here. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 24, 20117 AP Durham Catholic District School Board Continuing Education Personal Support Wo rker Certificate Program (PSW) Summer orientation dates are Thursday, July 7, August 4 and September 1, 2011 at 10 a.m. New semester will start on September in Oshawa and Ajax.

The 2011 Well Aware program is a con- fidential and non-regulatory service offered to well owners by Durham Sus- tain Ability. It’s offered for educational reasons, to help residents identify risks and direct them to solutions. During a home visit, the homeowner will be given tips on caring for a well and septic system. “There are approximately 750,000 pri- vate wells in Ontario serving the water needs of a quarter of the population and nearly 16,000 wells here in Durham,” Shawna Mutton, executive director of DSA, says in a press release. “Ensuring these wells are thoroughly inspected, maintained and tested is vital in provid- ing safe and healthy water to well own- ers. We are doing our part to ensure Dur- ham residents are provided with good education and information to properly take care of their wells.” In the past three years, 230 well owners in Durham have taken advantage of the service. Space is limited and anyone interested should book an appointment soon. Call DSA at 905-427-0061 for more information or to set up an appoint- ment.

The roof needs reshingling, the electrical system is ailing and the furnace is on its last legs. Forget about the fact the bathroom hasn’t been redone since the 1970s. You’ve taken loans and are maxing out credit cards to pay for just part of what needs to be done. A Metroland Special Report shows that’s the situation for Ontario municipalities as they struggle to fix our crumbling infra- structure - the roads, buildings, water and sewer systems that underpin our daily life. Third in a three-part series. ONTARIO -- They’re known as public-pri- vate partnerships, or alternate financing arrangements, or by the acronym P3s. They have become popular tools in the limited range of options available to gov- ernments trying to find money to repair or renew the crumbling roads, public buildings and other infrastructure that underpin our communities. Residents of many communities will already be familiar with the concept through the new hospitals, courthouses and other public facilities for which the Crown agency Infrastructure Ontario is responsible. A $335-million courthouse in Durham Region that opened in 2009 was the first proj- ect to go through Ontario’s new alternate financing program. Infrastructure Ontario’s projects now include hospitals, the eastern extension of Hwy. 407, the modernization of Ontario Pro- vincial Police facilities and highway service centres across the province. But a move is on to increase access to pub- lic-private partnerships as municipalities try to cope with the enormous burden of fund- ing infrastructure, a job that has already put many of them into debt. York Region, for example, in search of new ways to fund transit, has formally asked Metrolinx (the regional transportation authority) to look at alternate funding sourc- es for municipal transit systems. The Province is scheduled to soon make public its long-term, 10-year plan for infra- structure funding, and while Infrastruc- ture Minister Bob Chiarelli declined to dis- close details, he said one element will be an expanded role for Infrastructure Ontario, which was created six years ago. P3s are not uniformly popular, generat- ing criticism from opposition politicians and groups such as the Canadian Union of Pub- lic Employees, in part because the Canadian approach to most public facilities and servic- es has been to keep the entire process public, or as much of it as possible. Critics found fuel in an Ontario Auditor General’s report that concluded in 2008 that $200 million could have been saved if the Province had done the borrowing itself on the new Brampton Civic Hospital. But Mark Romoff, chief executive officer of The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships, disagrees. “You need to follow the program from beginning to end and you’ll see the strong, successful P3 program does deliver value for money,” he said. Partnerships have evolved from their beginnings in the early 1990s and are now being used in more sectors at more levels of government, Mr. Romoff said. A recent Edmonton breakfast brought out 370 attendees to hear how P3s can help municipalities, he said, a sign of increased interest at the cash-strapped municipal level. “When you’re looking to move the infra- structure needle ... if there’s an infrastruc- ture gap and a fiscal challenge, the P3 model could be worth looking at,” Mr. Romoff said, acknowledging the partnerships are not a sil- ver bullet for every project. John Loxley, a University of Manitoba eco- nomics professor who studies and writes about P3s, evaluated prominent projects including Hwy. 407, the controversial toll highway built in a private-public partnership and now owned privately. He believes the highway was a “poor deal for Ontario taxpay- ers. “You need (infrastructure), but it’s got to be done right,” he said. “You don’t get some- thing for nothing.” But public-private partnerships are not the only potential options available to help municipalities solve the funding puzzle. Solutions popular in other jurisdictions are being looked at as well, including new mod- els that would apportion a certain percent- age of income tax or a percentage of sales tax such as the HST for infrastructure. The push for alternative financing is driven by the realization that municipalities sim- ply cannot hold the fort much longer. From 1955 to 2007, the federal share of public infra- structure fell from 27 per cent to five per cent while the municipal share increased from 27 per cent to 55 per cent, according to a 2008 report. Earlier this month, the mayors of Canada’s largest cities agreed at a meeting in Hali- fax that municipalities must watch the new majority government of Stephen Harper to ensure there is a change. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, chair- man of a big-city caucus in the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, said he hopes municipal leaders and the Tories can develop a far-reaching infrastructure plan that won’t drop in priority as the new government tries to cut costs. After the federation issued a report on the national infrastructure deficit in 2007 -- when, it calculated, the gap for Canadi- an municipalities alone was $123 billion -- Finance Minister and Whitby-Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty countered that municipalities should take care of themselves and that Otta- wa was “not in the pothole business.” The attitude changed as the recession took hold and the federal government took into account the jobs that could be created through infrastructure projects. However, as the infrastructure deficit grows and the economy resumes, the traditional equation is back in force. The federation points out that 92 per cent of a Canadian’s tax dollar goes to the two upper levels of government, but municipalities are responsible for more than half the existing infrastructure -- and have to do whatever jobs are passed to them -- with the remaining eight per cent. inFrastructure ontario It is an arm’s-length Crown agency that manages public projects and arranges funding that includes private sources for infrastructure ranging from courthouses to sewer systems. It also provides municipalities and other pub- lic bodies with access to affordable loans for new buildings and renewal. The agency has not issued an annual report since the 2008-09 fiscal year, so it is difficult to track projects and loans on paper. However, the Province says that since 2005, the agency has managed 52 infrastructure proj- ects worth $21 billion, including 35 hospital proj- ects and approved more than $4 billion in loans for more than 1,000 projects. Major projects include: Facilities for the Pan Am Games, including Hamil- ton’s soccer stadium Durham Consolidated Courthouse Montfort Hospital Quinte Health Care Ottawa Hospital Regional Cancer Program Lakeridge Health Markham Stouffville Hospital Halton Healthcare Niagara Health System Royal Victoria Hospital Waterloo Region Consolidated Courthouse Hwy. 407 East Extension West Lincoln Memorial Hospital A METROLAND MEDIA SPECIAL REPORT How to fix our crumbling infrastructure jason lieBregts / metrolanD PICKERING -- Construction continues on the pedestrian bridge at the Pickering GO Station.

Although it may look untidy, leave grass clippings on your lawn when you mow it for nutrient recycling. 2. Over–seed patchy areas in difficult spots. 3. In heavy traffic areas replace grass with mulch or paving stones. 4. Check your lawn for early signs of pests and other problems such as holes caused by small animals digging for insects. 5. Set your mower so that your grass is 7 to 8 cm high; this encourages deeper roots and helps fend off weeds. 6. Water infrequently, but when you do, make sure you allow the water to get deep into the soil (about 1.5 centimetres) to promote deep roots. Over–watering starves the soil of oxygen and invites disease. TIP: Apply at least 2.5 centimetres of water. Put a container on your lawn to measure how much you've watered. An empty tuna can is about the right height. 7. Maintain good soil with ample depth and organic matter to prevent problems. 8. If physical control methods fail and you use a pesticide, be sure to pick one suitable for your pest problem and follow all the instructions on the label. 9. Aerate compacted soil in the fall: this helps oxygen, water and nutrients reach roots. www.newscanada.com Healthy lawn tips to keep pests and weeds away A Revolution in Furniture is here...

As we looked at the population of Pickering, which has one of the highest percentages of graduates in the region, that really pro- vided us with an opportunity to do some- thing different in terms of offering gradu- ate and continuing education programs.” A first for Durham College, the facil- ity will offer full and part-time program- ming where students can pursue gradu- ate studies, enhance skills or gain addi- tional training. “This facility really gives us the chance to offer great learning opportunities, which can really change the economic environment of a city,” said Ann Buller, president and CEO of Toronto’s Centen- nial College. “Those who already have great careers can come back and retrain or those who want to buff up their skills can do that too. We’re looking forward to meeting our first students next year.” Mayor Ryan also hinted that the learn- ing centre could be a sign of things to come for the community, “We believe this is the first step to having a full-blown post-secondary campus in the city,” he explained, noting it would be much-needed due to continuing growth in the community, including the planned Seaton neighbourhood development. “We are going to be the largest munici- pality in Durham, and this is an opportu- nity for us to meet the needs of a growing population.” Mr. Lovisa also acknowledged that the centre could lead the way to further expansion, including possible under- graduate study opportunities. “There is a parcel of land reserved in the Seaton lands for post-secondary and several partners are currently having con- versations about what might be possible there,” he said, noting that expansion of programming at the new facility would also be a possibility. “We see this as an opportunity for us to learn about Pickering and understand what the community needs. This is real- ly a wonderful way to start, it’s great for us. We are a growth college and this helps us continue to meet the demand of all the people who want to go to college.” Wa nt to know what’s happening in Pickering?

PICKERING from page 1 Birds will be collected and relocated from Frenchman’s Bay PICKERING -- Many of Pickering’s Canada geese will soon have a new home as part of a relocation program run by the Toronto Region Conservation Authority. Beginning the week of June 27, geese will be collected from areas around French- man’s Bay while they are molting and therefore unable to fly away. Round-ups are normally done early in the morning when there are fewer people around in order to reduce stress to the birds. Col- lected geese are put into pens, banded and transported to approved host locations using a climate-controlled transport trail- er. “Many municipalities have conduct- ed relocations over the past six years and TRCA has been performing Canada goose relocation programs with the Canadian Wildlife Service for a number of years,” said Danny Moro, project manager for the TRCA. “There is no guarantee that the relocat- ed geese will not fly back; data shows that 15 per cent of the relocated birds return to area.” Since 2004, Pickering has undertaken a number of programs to reduce the impact of large geese populations on green spac- es, especially around the waterfront. The City has been participating in the TRCA round-up program since 2008. “By oiling eggs, using dogs and birds of prey to scare geese, planting vegetation in strategic locations, erecting fences, post- ing educational signs about not feeding geese, distributing educational brochures, and experimenting with grape seed extract spray, the City has minimized the impact,” said Michelle Pearce, co-ordinator of envi- ronmental awareness programs for the City.

Following up on the success of the Songwriters Music Festival earlier this year, Whitby singer/ songwriter Ron Beer has orga- nized the free Songwriters at the Waterfront Concert Series. A variety of local performers are playing in Ajax and Whitby, start- ing this Sunday. When he put out a call for audi- tions, Beer says there was an excellent response. But there’s still time to be a part of the series. After this weekend’s opening concerts, there are shows July 17 and Aug. 14 at both venues. “We’re looking for more artists; we’re looking for more singer/ songwriters,” Beer says. Interested musicians are invit- ed to e-mail him at youngsong- writers@rogers.com. The first concerts are June 26 from 1 to 3 p.m. and occur simul- taneously at Port Whitby (at the pier at Rotary Sunrise Park) and at Ajax’s Rotary Park (near the Rotary Pavilion). Each venue is hosting six musi- cians who hail from across south Durham. At the Whitby con- cert, Roy Smith (Bowmanville), Ed Babut (Oshawa), Ray Smith (Oshawa), Rebecca McKin- non (Whitby), Claudia Pelletier (Oshawa) and Eric Kristensen (Courtice) are performing. In Ajax, catch Barbara Lynn Doran (Whitby), Cole Hermer (Ajax), GT Harris (Oshawa), Kimberly Clarke (Oshawa), Hallie Anthony (Ajax) and Ron Beer (Whitby). After the Songwriters Music Festival at Whitby Courthouse Theatre, the Town of Whitby allowed Beer to use the Brock Street Activity Centre to hold meetings of songwriters. He audi- tioned for the waterfront con- certs and says songwriters kept showing up. Beer pitched the idea to Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins and when he was walking along the Whitby waterfront with his wife, he noted that it would make a great venue. Beer says the musicians range from blues to country to soul and pop artists.

Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 24, 201118 AP Track It’s all in the family for Sharpes Track success filters down from mom and dad to twin daughters Brad kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- If genetics account for any- thing, there is no way to predict the unlim- ited potential of the Sharpe twins. The offspring of a couple of nation- al level athletes, Sommer and Taylor are beginning to make a name for themselves on the track after returning home with medals from the OFSAA high school pro- vincial track-and-field championships in Sudbury. That may not come as much of a surprise, considering their dad, Tony, won a bronze medal for Canada at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles as a mem- ber of the men’s 4x100m relay team, and their mom, Colene, represented Canada at the international level as well. Now the parents are sharing their knowl- edge and experience with their daughters at the Speed Academy. “It does pose its challenges,” chuckles Tony of the dynamic of being an Olympian who coaches his own kids. “A lot of times they treat you as dad and don’t necessarily react to your instructions. “I’ve had Taylor say, ‘No, I’m not doing that’. And I said, ‘OK, I have another 20 kids here and I don’t have time to take you on’. I’m very lenient with them in terms of the work. My daughters are very social. So, for them, it’s all about who is going to be at practice versus what is going to actually happen when they get there.” Colene, a former sprinter who spends a lot of time coaching the girls in the club, says initially her daughters had little interest in track, and were brought to practice just to get out of the house. “They were pests initially,” she recalls. “We told the other kids, ‘Don’t talk to the Sharpe kids because they are distracting’. “It’s a really tough dynamic to coach your own kids. It’s extremely difficult because you can only push so far and they only lis- ten to you so much.” Now that the twins are putting more into the training sessions, they are seeing the results. The message is getting through. Taylor won gold in the 400m, ran the anchor leg of the gold medal-winning 4x100m relay team at St. Mary, and earned bronze in the 200m. She also qualified for the 100m, but passed on the event because it would have been too busy. She says she has benefitted from having an Olympic medallist coach her, even if it’s dad. “I think it’s pretty awesome,” says the 14-year-old Grade 9 student. “People come from all over to be trained by my dad and I have him everyday. It’s awesome to be able to say that my dad won a bronze medal at the Olympics. I know a lot of peo- ple can’t say that. He’s also a role model for me.” Sommer, who ran the second leg of the relay team that won gold, echoes those same sentiments. “I like my dad being the coach because even when I go home he tells me what I can improve on,” she says. As for the level her dad reached, “We’re kind of used to it. Other people usually take it as more of a big deal than we do. I still think it’s pretty cool. I admire him. I think what he did was amazing and I look up to him for that.” Tony says his approach with his daugh- ters is the same with any of the other ath- letes in the stable -- that they have to have fun and like what they are doing. “I don’t think it’s about trying to reach any standards that I have achieved,” he says. Both girls are hoping to pursue athletics and academics down the road by obtain- ing scholarships to an NCAA school. Their brother, Mitchell, who is a year older, is a premiere soccer player, who has some potential in track but shies away from the sport at this point, says Colene. Proud parents, with reason to be. Ironheads face tall order in first round of playoffs Brad kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Any time a seventh seed faces a second seed in the opening round of play- offs, it’s a tall order for the underdog to pre- vail. Take into account that in this situation, the second seed just happens to be the defending Founders Cup national Jr. B lacrosse champion Halton Hills Bulldogs, and you begin to realize the uphill battle the Ajax-based Ironheads are facing when the best-of-five series kicks off Saturday in Halton Hills at 7:30 p.m. While the Ironheads have made it into the playoffs a number of times during head coach Ron Reed’s tenure behind the bench, they have yet to win an opening round series. Things won’t be any easier this time around. “Because we’re seeded so low, we always end up playing one of the top two teams in the league, the Green Gaels or Halton Hills or someone of that calibre,” said Reed. “We put ourselves in this hole by some of the mistakes we’ve made throughout the year. “It’s going to be up to us to dig ourselves out of it.” The Ironheads enter the post-season in a bit of a funk, having lost their past seven games in a row to close out the season, including an 11-5 loss to Halton Hills on Tuesday night at the Ajax Community Cen- tre. The loss left the Ironheads with a 9-11 record after jumping out to a 9-4 start. “Some of those were our own doing,” said Reed of the losing streak. “Some of those games we were in and some of them we just didn’t play 60 minutes. That’s been our dilemma from the beginning of the year. “Hopefully going into the playoffs we can play our game, play five-on-five, and we should be competitive.” The Ironheads were down 4-0 against Halton Hills before Tuesday’s game was eight minutes old and couldn’t recover, trailing 4-2 after the first period and 7-4 heading into the third. They also gave up four in a row in the opening 10 minutes of the third to fall behind 11-4. Brock Levick had a goal and assist, finish- ing the season as the top point producer for the Ironheads with 33-38-71 numbers in 20 games. Michael Hart, Adam Zulak, Gage Board and Tyler Roche had the other goals for the Ironheads. Game 2 of the series is Tuesday at the Ajax Community Centre at 8 p.m., with Game 3 Thursday in Halton Hills at 8 p.m. If need- ed, Game 4 will be back in Ajax Saturday, July 2 at 7 p.m. Details for Game 5 were still being worked out at press time. Jason lieBregTs / MeTroland PICKERING -- Tony Sharpe won a bronze medal for Canada in the relay at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984, and his wife, Colene, was a national level track athlete. Their twin daughters, Sommer and Taylor, won gold at the 2011 OFSAA high school track-and-field championships.

Back in March, the 16-year- old sprinter ventured to an indoor meet in New York, where he stepped into the starting blocks against a higher level of competition in the 60-metre run. It didn’t turn out too well. “I had the mindset and I was ready to run, but once I got into the blocks, it was new people, new environ- ment, your perspective of things changes your race. I lost focus and was over- whelmed by everything,” says the Grade 11 student at J. Clarke Richardson. He is hoping to take that experience and learn from it this time around for the 100m and 200m races he has qualified for in Lille, France. The championships will be held from July 6-10. “You just have to run your race. You shouldn’t be focusing on the people next to you,” he says. “They’re focused on their race and aren’t worried about you. You just have to do your own thing.” Best has the proper mind- set this time around, looking to run a personal best and not worrying about finishing in the medals. That’s exactly the kind of attitude that his coach at the Speed Acade- my, Tony Sharpe, wants him to take. “The first time you get to something on the interna- tional level you are real- ly there for the experience of the event,” says Sharpe, whose experience run- ning for Canada included a bronze medal at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles as a member of the men’s 4x100m relay team. “The intention is to go there and be the best you can be and not set too high of an expectation. If he goes there and runs his best, in terms of time, we’d be ecstatic with that.” Sharpe adds that Best qualifying for the world youth championships is a direct result of his work ethic and attitude in training ses- sions. There is a cost associat- ed with making the trip for Best, who is responsible for coming up with $2,000 to cover expenses. His club has set up a trust account to help alleviate the cost. Donations can be made at any BMO branch, with cheques made payable to either ‘Brian Rodrigues in trust for Wesley Best’ or ‘Connie Ono in trust for Wesley Best’. The bank transit number is 29972-001 and the bank account num- ber is 8989-175. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND AJAX -- Wesley Best will be representing Canada in the 100m and 200m at the 2011 IAAF World Youth Championships in France July 6-10.PICKERINGPICKERINGPICKERINGPICKERINGADVERTISING FEATURE The summer is finally here and it’s time to soak up the rays!

Boxing Cook ready to step back into the ring for second pro fight AJAX -- Brandon Cook of the Motor City Boxing Club is about to hit the ring for his second career pro bout. The Ajax native will take on Hungarian fighter Rich- ard Hajdu as part of a Fri- day Night at the Fights card at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, the same venue in which he made his professional debut back in February. In that bout against Mon- treal’s Francis Lafreniere, Cook was awarded a split decision and will be look- ing to add another win to his resume. Cook’s first fight came as a middleweight, but he has since dropped weight for this bout and will compete as a light-middleweight. His opponent, making the long trek from Hun- gary, is equally motivated to come out strong. Hajdu (1-1-1) is hoping to bounce back from his first loss at the hands of undefeated fighter Ferenc Hafner (7-0, 5 KO’s). With so much on the line for both fighters, this should provide fans with plenty to cheer about. Another Motor City prod- uct, Whitby’s Phil Rose, is also fighting in Missis- sauga, up against Horace Hunter of Toronto in the super middleweight divi- sion. Rose (2-1, 2 KO’s) is look- ing to rebound following a shocking loss in his last fight to Julius Bunda back in February. Hunter will pose a stiff test, however. He is com- ing of a win over Ahmad Selemani in Quebec a few weeks back. Motorsports McColm returns to Mosport BOWMANVILLE -- Oshawa’s David Thorndyke and Ajax’s Joey McColm will be competing at their home track in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Vortex Brake Pads 200 at Mosport International Raceway on Sunday. McColm is a NASCAR Canadian Tire Series veteran at the tender age of 25, having been with the series since its inception in 2007. This will be his first race of 2011, but he’s hopeful to run a few more races this season. “I love racing at Mosport,” said McCo- lm, who will be driving the #50 Race Time Radio Dodge Avenger. “It’s truly a driver’s track. It’s like a roller coaster out there and it’s so much fun to drive on. Being a local racer, it’s an added bonus because I consider it my home track and I am proud to compete here.” McColm has been noted as one of the more personable drivers in the series and can often be seen signing autographs and interacting with fans. Off-track the 25 year old recently grad- uated with a degree in civil engineering from Ryerson University and is involved in several charities, including Earth Day Canada.

"Scrap 7" March 6, 1944 - June 26, 2001 Miss Me, But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me. I want no rites in a gloom-ﬁ lled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little - but not too long, and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that was once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone. It's all a part of the master plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know. Bear your sorrow in good deeds. Miss me, but let me go. Author Unknown Remembering 10 years ago on June 26, 2001, a very special loved one was lost. Dearly missed by loving wife Judith, daughter Gayle, son Steven (Tonya), grandchildren Blake and Mackenzie, nieces, nephews & many, many friends.
