Megan Douglas searched the fields for signs of bugs and butterflies. The program focused on the relationship between plants and animals. Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com I come from people who know how to turn an empty field in the early days of spring into a bountiful harvest by fall. As a child growing up in Romania, I recall there were no strawberries or toma- toes on store shelves in January. In fact there wasn’t much of anything on store shelves. So families grew potatoes, corn, beans, cabbage and other staples to see them through the winter. The summers and the fall were full of in-season eating of fresh produce. I came to Canada in 1987 as a child, and of course everything was different. Since my parents bought their house in Ajax, my mom always had something growing in the backyard in the summers: tomatoes, hot peppers, cucumbers, hard parsley that lasts until the snow hits the ground and more. I surely enjoyed the fruits of my moth- er’s labour, but my help was usually limit- ed to watering the tomatoes if she was out of town. Still, I’ve always liked plants and watch- ing things grow, and as a new resident in a balcony-deprived box of an Oshawa apartment building, I figured that this was the summer to get growing. Initially I looked for a spot at an Oshawa community garden, but after being told the Mary Street garden was full for the summer, I contacted Mary Drummond, co-ordinator of the Whitby Ajax Commu- nity Garden. She was kind enough to accommodate me and on May 12 I went for my orien- tation at the Hwy. 7 and Lakeridge Road garden and was assigned my plot. The deal is, I can rent a four-foot-by 30-foot plot for the summer at a cost of $35. I also committed to at least four hours per month of volunteer work in the com- munal plots. The harvest from the communal plots is donated to local food banks, shelters, soup kitchens and families in need. Last year, they produced almost 7,000 pounds of food for Durham residents. I’m responsible for purchasing the plants and seeds for my plot, but there’s a garden shed full of shared tools I can use, ranging from shovels to garden gloves. The site has rain barrels, but when there’s a period of dryness, I’m expected to bring water for my plot. After getting assigned plot P3, my first order of business was a thorough weeding, followed by working in a couple of loads of compost, also provided at the garden. I also had to set up the path next to my gar- den which involved layering cardboard, landscape fabric and straw. It’s intended to suppress weeds and make the paths as accessible as possible. When it comes to physical labour, get- ting the garden plot ready and hauling wheelbarrows of compost was probably the hardest part. Then came the fun of planting. I decided I would use a mix of seeds and plants bought from garden centres. The cheapest method of gardening is to grow directly from seeds, but it was getting well into May and I felt I didn’t have enough time to start my tomatoes at home. Directly from seed, I sowed beans, rad- ishes, spinach and basil. Keeping my eye out for sales at garden centres, I bought onions, zucchini, toma- toes, eggplant, squash plants and a four- cell of lettuce so I can harvest it as soon as possible. I have a packet of lettuce seeds I plan to sow later in the summer so I get another harvest. All in all, it cost me no more than $30 to fill the whole plot. So, with my vegetables planted and the summer before me, I’m ready to spend my time growing not just my plants, but myself as a person. I’m ready to get back to my roots. -- Reka’s Roots: A summer of community gardening will appear every two weeks.

Ajax, Pickering hospital welcomes new chairwoman Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Rouge Valley Health System is welcoming a familiar face to a new position. Area business leader Joan Wide- man will be taking over as chair- woman of the RVHS board of direc- tors, after serving as a board mem- ber for five years and vice-president for the last two. She will bring that experience to her new role, which was announced during the hos- pital’s annual general meeting in June. “I believe I have a better under- standing now of some of the issues in our community and specifical- ly with the hospital and hospitals in Ontario,” she said of her board experience. “I’m not an expert by any means but after being on the board you gain a good understanding of the issues facing our health-care sys- tem.” Ms. Wideman is no stranger to community involvement. As vice- president of corporate services for the Pickering-based Lenbrook Group of Companies, Ms. Wide- man is also a director of the Ajax- Pickering Board of Trade and an active community volunteer. Ms. Wideman plans to continue the board’s ongoing focus on quali- ty patient care and providing a good experience for patients. “Sometimes you get so caught up in the business of operating a hos- pital that you lose sight of what you need to do instinctively to provide a good experience for patients,” Ms. Wideman explained, citing a Patient Declaration of Values released in 2011 as one way the hospital has been focusing on improving the patient experience. “We’re going to continue focus- ing on quality care for patients and looking at what that might mean from every perspective, whether you’re a board member, staff mem- ber or physician,” Ms. Wideman explained. “That includes making sure front- line workers have what they need to do their jobs and making sure we are looking through a patient lens when it comes to developing sys- tems. In a broad sense it also means making sure what we have in the community hospital is representa- tive of what we need in the commu- nity.” Despite the challenges facing the health-care system, including man- dated government cuts, Ms. Wide- man said she is looking forward to her new role. “I’m looking forward to work- ing with the team we have, it’s an exceptional board and we have a very good relationship with stake- holders,” she explained. “It’s a challenging time but I think we’re ready for that, we’re feeling very good about where we’re at.” SubMitteD photo AJAX -- Area businesswom- an Joan Wideman has been named as the new chairwom- an of the Rouge Valley Health System board of directors. Give your opinion on new Rouge National Urban Park Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- As planning moves ahead for a new Rouge National Urban Park, officials are inviting members of the public to share their ideas for the new facility. A study area for the new park was released in June, extend- ing from Lake Ontario to the Oak Ridges Moraine and including lands within the existing Rouge Park and portions of the federal lands west of the York-Durham townline. “We really see it as a huge oppor- tunity for GTA residents, but also all Canadians,” said Catherine Grenier, director of the Rouge National Park Initiative for Parks Canada, of the new park. “This is something new. It’s unlike anything we’ve done before and we’re taking a new and innovative approach. I think the concept highlights that and we’re looking for input on that concept.” Officials are hoping to complete a land transfer agreement by fall, with all the public lands within the study area transferred to Parks Canada. Community consultation began in June and runs through Sept. 17, after which staff will take the input into consideration while forming a legislative opinion. “This is an important moment for people to get involved and help shape the legacy of the park,” Ms. Grenier said. “We’re still early in the pro- cess, the boundaries are not yet defined. We want to hear from residents in terms of any ques- tions, concerns or ideas they may have.” Residents can find information about the park, including a map of the study area and information on the ongoing process, online at www.parkscanada.gc.ca/rouge. Questions, comments and ideas can be submitted online through the site’s public involvement ses- sion, or residents can attend one of three public information ses- sions being held in the area, including one in Pickering on Tuesday, Aug. 14 at 7 p.m. at City Hall. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 3 AP ACADEMY OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING Group Discounts Available (for 3 or more) Mini Package Available An Installment Payment Plan For Yo ur Convenience Beginner Driver Education Course Provider CALL NOW, SPACE IS LIMITEDHOURS: 7 DAYS A WEEK, 10 AM -10 PM PETER’S •20 hours in classroom instruction •10 private in-car lessons on automatic •FREE pick-up at home •Courses start every week •Defensive driving instruction Learn Life Saving Skills •Skid Control Evasive Maneuvers •Braking Te chniques •FREE progress report card •EARLIER ROAD TEST TRAIN WITH THE PROFESSIONALS! 965 Dundas St.W.

The homeowners told police they answered the door after three men dressed as construction workers came knocking. The male homeowner was then hit on the head and back with a gun and several items were stolen from the home. Police got the call at about 12:20 p.m. on July 4 and arrived at the home -- in the Rosebank Road and Sheppard Avenue area -- to find the homeowners waiting on the front lawn. Officers and K-9 searched the neighbour- hood but came up empty handed. The three suspects were dressed in orange construction overalls with hard hats, gloves, glasses and masks. The first two are described as black men, both about 20 years old and six feet tall. The third suspect is described as a white man, about the same age and height. Anyone with information is asked to call Det.

Great Outdoors camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. at Pine Ridge Secondary School begin- ning July 3, and is open to chil- dren between the ages of 5 and 12. “Campers will have the oppor- tunity to participate in a vari- ety of activities that encour- age teamwork and friendship, and promote a healthy and active lifestyle,” said Alexa Mid- dlestadt, camp director. “Weekly classes can include survival skills, outdoors games, nature crafts, indoor games, low ropes and archery.” Camp includes a variety of outdoor activities as well as off- site trips to the Seaton Hiking Trail and Whitevale and Rouge parks, as well as theme weeks based on the television show Survivor. To register or for more infor- mation on the Great Outdoors camps, visit www.pickering.ca or call 905-420-4621. from Page 1 Different activities are offered each week. Beautiful Butterflies kicked off the program this year. Kids learned about butterflies and other pollinating insects, and how they work together with plants to help each other out. Smiles were in abundance as the kids hiked excitedly through a butterfly garden identifying plants and looking for bugs with Margo Sloan, OPG biodiver- sity program coordinator. Kids learned about butterflies while making crafts after the hike, and before leaving, released live but- terflies into the park. “It’s fun, it’s a new experience,” said nine-year-old Parth Rana from Ajax, who attended with his mother Jagruti and five-year-old brother Rudra. “I’ve been learning about the butterfly cycle and the design of the butterfly.” Ajax resident Kim Murphy said she and her son Alex look for- ward to Tuesdays on the Trail every year. “We’ve been doing it for a few years now, it’s a great program, they always have really neat things,” she said. “It’s really great, and for free, it’s wonderful. He always has fun.” Ms. Murphy brought her two- year-old daughter Sarah this year too. Seven-year-old Alex said he was having a lot of fun, and couldn’t pick a favourite part, deciding all the activities were a blast. Weather permitting, Tuesdays on the Trail is held twice every Tuesday. Sessions begin at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. and run for approxi- mately two hours. All sessions are held at Alex Robertson Park, 700 Sandy Beach Road, Pickering, with the exception of Sun, Shades and Sandcastles on Tuesday, July 31, which is held on the beach just west of OPG’s Pickering site, near the end of Liverpool Road. Tuesdays on the Trail activities are suitable for children six to 12 years old and do not require pre- registration. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Due to the nature of the pro- gram, groups cannot be accom- modated. Ms. Johnston encouraged every- one to check out the program. “Come and see us in the park every Tuesday,” she invited. “I want everybody to come and have a chance to participate and have fun.” To download the Tuesdays on the Trail 2012 activity guide, visit www.opg.com, select ‘In the Community’ and choose Pickering Events. -- Reporter Tara Hatherly can be found on Twitter @Tara_Hatherly and on Facebook by searching Tara Hatherly.

Butterflies a big hit with kids on the Pickering trail Toronto Blue Jays help city swing into summer fire safety Pickering Fire Services reaches out to students PICKERING -- Pickering Fire Services is teaming up with the Toronto Blue Jays to educate kids with their Swing into Summer safety campaign. The campaign, a partnership with the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office, aims to educate school- age children and their families on about fire safety and injury pre- vention in a fun, memorable way. As part of the campaign, Pickering Fire Services is distrib- uting thousands of Blue Jays base- ball cards containing safety mes- sages. Cards were handed out during Pickering’s Canada Day festivities to children who could correctly demonstrate how to test a smoke alarm, and more will be distrib- uted during Pickering’s summer camps and through the Pickering Softball Association. Additional information and resources are available at the Pickering Recreation Complex. “A winning team requires great defence. By working together we hope to reduce injuries, pre- vent fires and save lives,” said Bill Douglas, Pickering Fire Chief. “We invite you to step up to the plate and hit a home run for your family and community by mak- ing sure you have working smoke alarms on every storey of your home and implementing a home escape plan.” > 24/7 LocaL breaking news, sports, photos, video and weather: aLL da Y, everY daY when YoU want it. >> Head to the Great Outdoors with Pickering camps this summer> du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 5 P A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Durham District Catholic School Board Trustee Chris Leahy, who represents Whitby Catholic board supporters, says he’ll work on a motion he plans to introduce later this year to encourage equity and fairness among schools in their fundraising initia- tives. The recent examination by Metroland Media Group journalists focused on the substantial gaps that exist among schools, particularly in comparison between affluent communities and those that are less afflu- ent. For example, a school in south Oshawa might struggle to raise the amounts enjoyed in other Durham Region communities, where annual family incomes are consider- ably higher. Specifically, Mr. Leahy noted the options explored in the special series such as a fund- raising cap for schools in which schools share with others any funds raised beyond the cap threshold as a means to equalize fundraising figures for all. As well, he sup- ports the idea of a mentorship approach in which schools with successful histories of fundraising share their expertise and knowl- edge with other school communities. The idea behind it -- to level the playing field for schools that have struggled for years to raise money for school extras -- must be given every consideration by trustees in Durham, preferably by both publicly funded school boards. Educators across the region, regardless of the communities and schools in which they teach, are deeply dedicated to the students in their charge as it relates to academics. But schools without any of the extras that can add to the overall school experience, such as gym equipment, or safe and modern play- grounds, are in some cases being left behind by schools in more affluent neighbourhoods where the fundraisers are more frequent, and more frequently successful. Children attending school in communities with lower annual family incomes shouldn’t be forced to live without some of those extras because their parents might be facing unemploy- ment, or struggling to pay rent, or saving every additional dollar for groceries. We encourage trustees to give Mr. Leahy’s intended motion every opportunity to suc- ceed. There is a way in which equity can be introduced among schools. There is a way in which less wealthy school communities can benefit from additional amenities that have, to date, been quite hard to come by. There is a way to make it work.

Bev Oda, my MP, walked away that night with 31,431 votes to easily retain her seat as the Durham MP. Her closest rival, NDP candidate Tammy Schoep, garnered 12,551. Even if you add up the votes of everyone who ran against Ms. Oda -- 26,576 -- she still easily took the riding. The strange thing about that win is I have asked lots of people since then if they voted for Ms. Oda and no one has ever admit- ted to me they have. They didn’t say ‘I’m not telling you’, it was a clear, ‘She didn’t get my vote.’ So who voted for her? I certainly didn’t. I have lived in Clarington for 20 years and before she was elected, I had never heard her name. Even after she was first elected in 2004, I don’t recall ever see- ing her at any event I was at, with the exception of the Bowmanville Canada Day celebration. Even this year, she seemed to appear out of nowhere shortly before the fireworks started, gave her 30-second speech and, poof, vanished. Since she announced she would be stepping down (or, as some have suggested, was pushed out by the Prime Min- ister) as my MP and the minister responsible for international co-operation, I have been following the fallout of the decision. The media, including us, used the opportunity to lambaste the MP. We called her an embarrassment to her constituents for her past transgressions as a minister but some Toronto media took that a bit further with one suggesting as a heavy smoker she won’t be around long to collect her golden pension. People on Twitter wrote about her strong-arm tactics as a min- ister, with some saying that type of heavy hand was needed to get her ministry into shape. But what showed me just how much contempt she has for the constituents she has represented since 2004 was her unwavering stance that she wasn’t going to speak to the media, even local media. We would love to be able to tell our readers what really hap- pened -- did she quit, was she asked to leave -- but it seems we will never know unless she writes a tell-all book. So long, Bev, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. -- Managing Editor Mike Johnston is having fun hearing all the names being bandied about as possible candidates for the Conservatives.

Facebook discussions on news stories in the last week include the surprising resignation of Bev Oda, the controversial MP for Durham Rid- ing and Minister of International Cooperation: Cynthia McGiverin: I think it is time for a change. Randy J. Kirk: Oh yes it’s time, how can one person make so many mistakes... Bye Bye Bev Sylvie Legault: Well rumour is it was more of a forced step down due to some questionable travel expenses... So..... Bob Teefy: Maybe our Country should be acting like we are only a population of 34 million people. Instead of thinking we are big shots on the world stage. The only reason we are touted along with the hugely popu- lated nations, is so they can gain access our natu- ral resources and use them to steal our jobs and lower the way of life, for our future generations. Everything we need, can be made here, not flaunt- ed through recklessness in thinking we are a big shot nation, by spoiled brats, in this Conservative Government, flirting and flaunting our hard earned money and way of life, away! The importance of a Canadian families life is at home, not away. Blaine Leal: Gregory Thomas, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, noted on Tuesday that Oda would immedi- ately start collecting an annual parliamentary pension of $52,183, which would add up to $701,464 if she reaches the age of 80 years old. Not bad for 8 years of work. That is total BS. She will be gone and still be sucking the tax- payers dry. Laura Feeney: Time for Claring- ton to get an MP who doesn’t have caviar for lunch and drink $16 orange juice. Chris Ninnim: I should run for her riding. I would promise to travel in my North American built jeep when I can, and I’d use my travel allowance sparingly to buy a McDouble here and there.

And Pay attention !!! -- Madzia Dawidek Kuczepa Total votes cast: 309 Rainstorms dumping more than 100 millimetres (3.9 inches) of rain in a single day have hit eight of Canada’s major cities. These are the largest one-day rainfalls on record: City Rain Date Halifax 218mm Aug. 15, 1971 Regina 160mm June 15, 1887 Oshawa 145mm June 27, 1971 Kingston 129mm Sept. 14, 1979 Toronto 121mm Oct. 15, 1954 St. John’s 121mm July 27, 1946 Edmonton 114mm July 31, 1953 Hamilton 107mm July 26, 1989 Source: www.currentresults.com I think it was Heraclitus who said change is the only con- stant ... or words to that effect. He may also have said ‘Sh*t happens’, but for some reason that one never got written down. Both statements, of course, are true. And one gener- ally follows the other. Either sh*t happens and we end up with a whole lot of change or something changes and we end up with a whole lot of sh*t happening. In any event, change is good. And change is neces- sary. Sh*t, not so much ... but, as Jesus (or was it Hit- ler?) said, you can’t make an omelet without cracking a few eggs. Having said that, change is not often easy, or even welcome. Truth be told, most of us fight it like a bad reputation. Over the past year and a half, my life and the life of my immediate family has been turned on its ear. It began when, after months of working together and with professionals to find out why our mar- riage wasn’t firing on all its cylinders, my wife, my best friend for the past 26 years, in one of the bravest, most diffi- cult and yes, loving things I’ve ever wit- nessed anyone do, came to me and with tears in her eyes, told me she was gay. I don’t think any marriage can survive something like that. Indeed, I don’t think it should. That’s a big fat signpost pointing out ‘Change Ahead, Reduce Speed’. A friendship, however, can survive it. And a love certainly can. Now, almost two years later, that’s kind of where we all find ourselves. We have been through the ringer of the initial shock, we have shed our tears and do still have the occasional bouts of confused sadness, but the change is inexorably occurring. And because we did not choose to fight this, point fingers or lay blame ... and, in fact, have learned to embrace it, it has wrought healing and, amazingly, even more love into our relationship and family. Although the writing is clearly on the wall for our marital union, our relationship, ironically, has never been better. We have found other, equally profound ways to love each other. That happens when you invest a quarter of a century and two beautiful children together. Those children have been a priceless resource of humour and perspective for their sometimes panicked parents throughout all of this. I suppose, given the security of witness- ing both of us still living in the same house, still respecting one another, still laughing, still enjoy- ing each other’s company, our boys have been able to absorb the thing for what it is ... nobody’s fault. Just change. Just life. And they have done so with the gentle facility the young have for such things. Luckily too, there has always been a lot of laughter in this house. I don’t know of a more healing balm than laughter. Shortly after this revela- tion occurred, Suzanne and I attended the 50th birthday party of a friend in a local pub. We found ourselves, sitting at the bar, laughing conspiratorially as we picked out female partners for one another. Go figure. So here I am. Here we are. In the midst of this roiling sea of change. Still, we know landfall is out there; the green terra firma that is the second half of our lives; new partners, new challenges, new territory. And although the change scares us, we know, in our heart of hearts, that things will be good, even better than ever. Because sometimes change is not the only constant. Sometimes love is. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

During the robbery, police say a man brandishing a gun and claiming to have a bomb demanded money from employees at a Bank of Mon- treal branch on Kingston Road just before 10 a.m. The suspect is said to have fled on foot with an amount of cash, leaving behind a package which was thought to possibly contain an explosive device. After Durham police’s explo- sives squad and tactical sup- port unit checked out the scene using a robot and water can- non, Sergeant Nancy van Rooy said, “There’s no confirmation of any explosive device within the premises.” No one was injured during the robbery. Following an investigation, police arrested a lone male sus- pect without incident July 3. Forty-four-year-old Saman- tha Herath, of Haskell Avenue, is charged with armed rob- bery, possession of a danger- ous weapon while committing an offence and wearing a dis- guise with the intent to commit a criminal act.

While some cultures place great significance on dining out as a family, North Americans seem less inclined to do so -- unless it is at a family-friendly (not food-friendly) chain restaurant or fast food establishment. However, dining out with young children doesn't have to be a debacle. Employ a few of the following tips, and your next night on the town with the youngsters in tow might just prove to be a nice family experience. * Get munchies. A hungry child is often a cranky child. Ask if bread, crackers or chips can be placed on the table early on so that the kids have something to snack on and distract them from hunger pangs. * Request a table near the bathroom. While looking at the restroom doors may not make for the most inviting ambiance, it does reduce the hassle of snaking through tables and rows with a child who needs to use the restroom. * Order for the table. Giving kids a choice may waste time and lead to arguments. Order a few items that everyone can share, increasing the likelihood that your child will find something he or she wants to eat. * Stick with recognizable foods. Now is not the time to ask junior to delve into seafood salad or osso bucco. Save taste-testing for another time when there's nobody else around to hear your child's protestations. * Make dessert a reward not an expectation. If the children behave to your liking, dessert can be a reward. It will reinforce good behavior the next time you decide to dine out.

This two-day, 36-hole tournament was held at the Pinestone Resort in Haliburton and attracted the top-rated junior golfers from across the country. Pestell fired a first round 77, finished five over on the tight tree-lined Pinestone course and sat in first place after the first day. On day two Pestell relied on his short game and followed up with a round of 78, giving him a two-day total of plus-11. Daniel Li of Toronto shot a solid round of 76 during the final round to catch Pestell and force a playoff, where only one hole was needed to settle the affair as Pestell’s par on the first playoff hole sealed the victory over Li. Pestell’s two rounds at this championship represent two of his best competitive rounds. His rounds included five birdies and a per- sonal best drive of 233 yards to take home the long drive championship. This event also included a CN Future Links Skills Competition which challenged junior golfers from all across the country in driv- ing, iron play, chipping and putting. At the conclusion of this competition, Pestell was ranked No. 1 in the country in his division of this competition. Pestell attends Maple Ridge Public School and will be entering Grade 6 in the fall. He plays golf around the Pickering area and does a good portion of his practice at The Devil’s Den Golf Centre. He also enjoys his hockey and will be play- ing for the Pickering Panthers Minor Peewee A team this coming season. SUBMITTED PHOTO PICKERING -- Connor Pestell continues to impress on the links. Pestell wins at Pinestone AJAX -- The stories about the battles between brothers on the backyard ponds of the Staal and Sutter families, which carried on later in life in the NHL, are legendary. In these parts, those same kind of bat- tles took place at the Keane residence, although there was a bit of a twist. Instead of on the pond, it was in the driveway or on the local court, and the sport of choice was basketball. The other kicker is that while the battles were among siblings, it involved a brother and two sisters. The sisters, Kalisha and Takima, grew up and went on basketball scholarships to NCAA schools, Kalisha to Michigan State and Takima to Cleveland State. Now it’s little brother’s turn, as Kaza will be off to Illinois State this fall to play for the Redbirds. “Most of the time it ended up in brawls,” says Kaza with a laugh in looking back at those competitive games with his sisters. “It started as a game but was very com- petitive. “I don’t think I’ve won to this day to tell you the truth. When they realized I could beat them they stopped playing. They didn’t want me to play them anymore.” All kidding aside, as Keane admits, it was his sisters who provided the inspi- ration for him to pursue basketball at the highest level. Following their careers along as they unfolded provided the backdrop for him to match their suc- cess. “Them going, it motivated me and fired me up because our family is very com- petitive and I didn’t want to downgrade the family name,” he says. “Seeing them go away motivated me to work harder and get a scholarship too.” The route to Illinois for the Ajax resi- dent went through North Carolina. After attending Pickering High School for grades nine and 10, he and teammate MiKyle McIntosh, a close friend, enrolled together at Christian Faith Center Acad- emy, a prep school in North Carolina. “I wanted a better opportunity at bas- ketball,” says Keane of the decision. “Pickering gave me a good opportunity for the situation we were in, but I wanted to go somewhere where I had more of an opportunity to excel and get a scholar- ship to Division-I and that is where bas- ketball took me.” The experience turned into more that just academics and athletics for the 18 year old. “It was a lot different than living in Ajax. There was a lot more country, the food was different. It helped me turn into the person I am now. I loved it because it helped me grow up and be a better per- son.” After two years there he had a num- ber of schools contact him during the recruiting process, narrowing it down to Penn State, Oklahoma State and Illinois State. Wanting to go somewhere with a good atmosphere and where he could have an impact, the six-foot-two point guard opted for Illinois State, where he will study business and psychology. “I went on my visit and Illinois State grabbed my heart right away so I decid- ed to go there,” he says. His basketball travels took him to Bra- zil earlier this month, helping Canada to the bronze medal at the FIBA Ameri- cas U18 Championships, beating Argen- tina 68-66 in the battle for third. Keane finished the tournament with six points, nine rebounds and six assists. The result has qualified Canada for next year’s FIBA U19 World Championships in the Czech Republic. “The main idea was to qualify for the worlds. We obviously wanted the gold but it didn’t go as planned,” he says of the experience. “We got the bronze and now we’re focusing on next year. Next year we want to get the gold so that’s what we’re focus- ing on.” >Local hoops star off to Illinois State on scholarship JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND AJAX -- Kaza Keane will head off to Illinois State on a basketball scholarship this fall. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 14 AP JULY 11, 2012 We dnesday Flyers Carrier of the We ek If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

In their first game since dealing away top goaltender Tyler Carlson and transition star Jordan McIn- tosh, the Rock was blown out of the water by the Peterborough Lak- ers last Thursday, falling by a 21-4 count in Major Series Lacrosse action. The Lakers scored just 21 sec- onds into that one and led 7-1 after one period, with the Rock, predict- ably, unable to fight back from the early deficit. By the end of the second Ajax was in a 14-goal hole, trailing 16-2, before Peterborough outscored them once more in the third, this time by a 5-2 margin to round out the scoring. Peterborough spread out its offensive attack with 12 players scoring at least two points each, led by six each from Mark Steenhu- is, John Grant Jr. and Shawn Evans. McIntosh didn’t play for the Lak- ers, nor did Carlson, according to pointstreak, as he was listed as the back-up netminder to starter Kevin Croswell, who made 36 saves on 40 shots. Ajax’s meagre offensive effort was fronted by Jesse Guerin, who had his hand in all the scoring, register- ing four assists, while Travis Bland, Brendan Muise, Craig England and Justin Gibson all had a goal. Tye Belanger allowed 18 of the 21 goals in 57-plus minutes of action, while Gary Muzzin surrendered the other three on just four shots on a short relief effort. One night later the Rock was much more competitive against the Brooklin Redmen, but the end result was the same in a 12-11 over- time loss. After the Redmen jumped out to a 4-1 first period lead, Ajax stormed back in the second and early in the third, turning a three-goal defi- cit into a two-goal lead, outscor- ing Brooklin 6-4 in the second and adding the first three goals of the third. However, two late goals by the Redmen, including one from Derek Hopcroft with the extra attacker on and just 1:01 remaining in regula- tion, tied the game up, setting the stage for Geoff Griffiths and Shawn Williams to score in overtime to seal it. Guerin and Bland did more than their part in trying to get the Rock back on the winning track, with Guerin scoring 10 points and Bland eight, but it wasn’t enough. Among Guerin’s double-dig- it effort were four goals, while John Quarrie and Muise scored two each, along with singles from Bland, Kyle Davis and Robert Koger. Belanger took the loss in goal, but did so facing a whopping 73 Redmen shots, according to point- streak. With three regular season games remaining and a 1-10 record to their name, Ajax returns to the floor Friday night at home to Peterborough and will then have a full week off before finishing out against Kitchener-Waterloo on July 20 and Six Nations a day later, both at home as well.

Ajax Swimming adds John Calnan as assistant coach AJAX -- Ajax Swimming has wel- comed a new coach to the deck. Head coach Matt Bell has added John Calnan to the staff as an assis- tant head coach in the wake of Jen Porenta’s amicable departure. Calnan has spent a lifetime immersed in the sport of competi- tive swimming. He has spent the last six seasons as assistant head coach with the North York Aquat- ic Club and this past season was assistant head coach of both the University of Lethbridge Varsity Squad and LASC swim club. As a coach his swimmers have won numerous provincial and nation- al medals, broken club and pro- vincial records and have gone on to represent Ontario and Cana- da on a number of tour teams. In 2009 and 2010 he was awarded the Swim Ontario High Performance Coaching Award for his work with 13 and 14 year old boys. He is a two-time member of the Swim Ontario Youth Tour Team coach- ing staff and was also selected as a coach for the 2011 North Ameri- can Challenge Cup that competed in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. As a National level swimmer with the North York Aquatic Club his commitment to training and fitness has produced exception- al results. He is an Olympic trials finalist in the 1500m freestyle at the 2004 Canadian Olympic tri- als. As a member of the Duquesne Dukes he was a school record holder and Atlantic 10 finalist in the 200m fly. He has combined these competitive performances with an honours degree in kinesi- ology in Pure and Applied Science in Kinesiology from York Univer- sity, holding special qualifications in fitness assessment. Calnan assumes his duties beginning Sept. 5. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 15 AP du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP Business & Law Honours Business Administration Supply Chain & Logistics Accounting & Payroll Administration Paralegal (LSUC Accredited) Law Clerk Police Foundations Technology Mobile & Desktop Support Technician Video Game Design & Development Web Design & Development Network Engineer Network Specialist Oshawa Campus: 200 John St. W.
