The Crown has announced its intention to oppose his release. The young man, whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, remains in hospital. He spoke to a justice of the peace by telephone when a brief hearing was held Wednesday morning in Oshawa. Durham police said the shooting occurred shortly after 7:30 a.m. Monday when officers responded to a report of an armed robbery in progress at the clinic, on Kingston Road near Glenanna Road. Mr. Pieters said outside court the shooting should have been avoided. “This is another case where a person with mental health issues was shot by police,” he said. “Sadly, it happens over and over.” The Special Investigations Unit is examin- ing circumstances surrounding the shooting. The independent agency probes instances of death and serious injury involving police. Durham police spokesman Dave Selby said the service cannot comment on details of the incident while the SIU probe is underway. But he said officers are trained to deal with any number of scenarios, including those involv- ing people with mental health issues. “Our officers are extremely well trained pro- fessionals who take the steps required given the situations they are presented,” he said. “Our community should know that our mem- bers are well equipped to address whatev- er community safety issues are presented to them.” In court Wednesday were the youth’s par- ents. “His parents are very traumatized by the situation,” Mr. Pieters said. “You can imagine how a parent would feel if their son was shot twice by the police.” The young man, whose voice was heard over a speaker in the courtroom Wednesday as he responded to questions by justice of the peace John MacDonald, sounded weak and somewhat disoriented. He’ll appear in court next week only if he’s cleared by doctors to do so, Mr. Pieters said.

The Durham York Energy Centre was selected from projects around the world as an Infrastructure 100: World Cities Edi- tion 2012 Project by KPMG in Canada. “Being profiled in Infrastructure 100 is a mark of distinction for the Durham York Energy Centre, as large-scale infra- structure projects are vital to support strong communities,” said Cliff Curtis, the Region’s commissioner of works. “We are excited to proceed with construction -- this project is essential in ensuring resi- dents of Durham and York regions have a long-term local solution for managing solid waste.” Construction of the facility is under way, with a target operation date in late 2014. The first edition of Infrastructure 100 was issued in 2010, with more than 12,000 hard copies distributed worldwide. The second edition was released this month at the World Cities Summit in Singapore.

The proposal would see a Rogers cell tower constructed on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) lands just north of Rodd Avenue. Local residents are concerned about the tower’s placement on conservation lands and its proximity to the residential Rosebank neighbourhood. Nicole Herbert-Sutton, who lives about two minutes from the proposed site, lists health and environmental concerns as her top priorities. “I have a six-month-old, and I know they say there’s not enough evidence to say it’s not safe, but that’s not good enough for people with babies,” she explained. “I want them to say they know it’s 100 per cent safe. I also don’t understand why they would choose a piece of land along the waterfront trail, there’s a sign on that prop- erty that says ‘no trespassing, conserva- tion lands.’ I was really surprised because I didn’t think they would be able to build anything there.” A Rogers public consultation package lists the current cell coverage in the Petti- coat Creek area as “well below our accept- able standards,” and says the new tower would provide a “high quality network sig- nal for its high speed wireless voice and data network.” According to Rogers, other potential sites were evaluated, including opportunities to locate the tower with an existing structure, but all were either beyond the distance or below the height required to address the coverage deficiencies in the area and would not have improved the existing ser- vice. There is currently one other cell tower located on TRCA lands, with two other leases being sorted out and two requests pending, of which the Rodd Avenue tower is one. TRCA staff are currently investigat- ing the proposal and will make a recom- mendation to the board in the future. “The TRCA considers all applications for use of TRCA lands very carefully,” explained Mike Fenning, senior manager of the TRCA’s property lands and services division. “Before making any decisions, we review the proposal with respect to the impacts on the environment and adjacent TRCA lands both during construction and dur- ing the length of the lease. We also con- sult with members of the community so we can receive input on the project. The proj- ect will only be presented to the board for approval if TRCA staff are satisfied with the results of the review and public consulta- tion.” Pickering Councillor Jennifer O’Connell also has concerns with the proposed tower, and joined other members of Pickering’s Waterfront Co-ordinating Committee in consensus that the project was inappropri- ate, after the body was informed of the pro- posal at a November 2011 meeting. “I was surprised because even if there was no policy, it always seemed to be the practice to not have cell towers on conser- vation lands,” Ms. O’Connell said. “Having a cell tower in a conservation area is contradictory in terms of keeping a natural environment and to the whole idea of conservation. I don’t support that, I think there are more appropriate loca- tions.” Largest in stock selection in Durham over 1,000 choices available Mon-Wed 9am-6pm • Thurs-9am-7pm Fri-9am-6pm • Sat-9am-4pm Tel: (905) 420-6800 615 Kingston Rd., Pickering, Ontario L1V 3N7 (One Light West of Whites Rd) Wh i t e s R d .

RVHS was recently awarded first prize at the Community and Hospital Infection Control Association 2012 National Con- ference for a poster presentation on its hand-hygiene program. The hospital also received two 2012 APEX Awards for Com- munication Excellence from U.S.-based Communications Concepts Inc., one for the hand-hygiene campaign and another for RVHS’s 2011 online annual report. “The awards exemplify how our staff think and act creatively to prevent infec- tions and communicate,” said Rik Gander- ton, president and CEO of RVHS. “Congratulations to the many people involved. All of these awards reflect the hospital’s continuing drive to constant- ly improve the patient experience, a chal- lenging journey we have embarked on.” For more information on the awards or the campaigns visit www.rougevalley.ca.

If visual art interests you, you’ll find plen- ty this weekend in Ajax with Art in Public Places. Those with an appreciation of per- formance can enjoy an outdoor whodun- it being staged this weekend at Pickering Museum Village. And that’s not all. The Highland Games of Durham orga- nizers are preparing for annual festivities in Uxbridge starting July 27, celebrating Scottish heritage. There’s live music and performances on Tuesdays at Whitby’s Celebration Square, an upcoming Festival of Fruit hosted by the Oshawa Senior Citi- zens Centres and Sunday Evenings in the Park in Scugog. In short, Durham has a wide assortment of interesting, compelling, entertaining and enjoyable events on tap throughout the summer months. And like the region’s municipalities that host everything from outdoor concerts to full-out festivals, it’s all about bring- ing people and communities together to share in fellowship, enjoy the warmth and sunshine, and to reconnect with family, friends and acquaintances. The events also appeal to just about everyone: family events featuring kids’ activities, outings for individuals or a night of outdoor music for couples, festivals with a seniors’ flair. In these uncertain economic times, many families are perhaps curtailing tra- ditional summer vacation plans to save a bit of money. Instead of a trip south of the border or abroad, they’re thinking closer to home. That’s prudent and wise, but it doesn’t mean a less enjoyable vacation. Along with the many events and festivals and celebrations that are being planned across Durham Region, local municipali- ties also boast several interesting attrac- tions. You can hear the roar of racing engines at Clarington’s Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, soak up local heritage at museums in Oshawa, Pickering and Clar- ington, among others, learn about nuclear power generation at OPG’s excellent visitor centres, play the slots in Ajax or the tables at Blue Heron casino in Scugog, walk the wonderfully scenic waterfronts and trails from Pickering to Newcastle, not to men- tion the water-based fun offered on Lake Scugog in Port Perry. Looking for something to do for a day or two -- or longer -- during your down time this summer? Look no further than your own backyard. Durham Region has you covered. When a neighbourhood barbecue turned into a mass shooting in Scarborough on Monday, it sent shock waves through the GTA. While reporters were hitting the street looking for interviews and waiting eagerly for official word from police, a Reddit user was out- doing them. Outdoing us, if I’m going to be honest. If you’re not familiar with it, Reddit is a social news website where people share news stories, personal stories, photos and more and other users comment. Basically, it’s a really popular message board where user votes determine what stories are at the top of the page. Like many GTA residents, user “bitchslappedbylogic” heard about the shooting on CP24. Instead of sticking with TV, he turned to Twitter to find more on the story. What followed was a timeline of events that’s still being updated. It starts with a couple of tweets from the guy who seemed to be organizing the party, tweeting a photo of bottles of Hennessy as a promise to party-goers. Even before it starts, some tweeters express con- cern. Here’s what one girl writes ominously: “*starts praying* father God, guide and pro- tect my friends from thy enemy tonight. Let us not war but party”. When the violence erupts, there are tweets from people who got shot, and from people who watched their friends die. And then the tweets promising retribution begin to flow. The Reddit user has the same reaction many of us do. “I fear for this community’s future,” he writes. It’s not to say Toronto reporters weren’t all over Twitter, but look- ing for good information can be like finding a needle in a haystack when there are hundreds of tweets popping up every few minutes on the breaking news story and it doesn’t help if you’re not familiar with the slang used by teens. I noticed several news sites using the Reddit user’s timeline of Twitter events on Tuesday. At least one list- ing of Tweets from a major Toronto newspaper seems to be culled from Reddit but there’s no hat tip to the user who did all the work. Several reporters jumped on it, messaging Twitter users listed in the post. Some may have responded and others, such as witness- es at the scene, probably blanked the reporters, reluctant to talk. And so it goes. In future situations like this I expect media types will be scouring Twitter that much harder for information. Likely, it’ll be some young intern who finds the relevant stuff, not a seasoned journo, because they have some second or third degree connection to someone involved. To me, the most haunting part was the last tweet from Ajax resi- dent Joshua Yasay, a bystander who lost his life in the shooting. A message to new Toronto Raptor Landry Fields: “welcome to Toronto! You’ll love it here! City like no other!” -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every second Thursday in this space.

As soon as I bought the ice cream treats from the snack stand down at the beach, it was a race to get them back and ready for the challenge. I ran as fast as I could to where we had our cameras ready to roll. I probably looked ridiculous to bystanders as I was screaming “ouch,” “yikes,” “ah,” due to the sand burning the bottoms of my feet. When I got back the melting process had already begun. We borrowed a bucket from a couple of our interviewees. They helped us build the magnificent sand dome for our ice cream competitors. It only took 19 min- utes for all three ice creams to wither away in the 35 C heat. Ryan, our photographer, and I waited anxiously to see which treat would take the lead. They began melting before we could even stick them in the sand. Results were accurate with people who voted on our poll online. Nearly 50 per cent chose the Sour Patch Kids as the winner. Congratulations to those who chose correctly. The poor Sour Patch Kids lost its head at around eight minutes and finished off at nine minutes, melting in the piercing sunlight like the wicked witch of the west from The Wizard of Oz. According to our poll, 36 per cent chose the fudgsicle. It came in second place at 12 minutes. Interestingly, the firecracker popsicle took almost 20 minutes to melt. Due to the popsicle’s density, it took longer than the others. Only 14 per cent chose the firecracker popsicle as the winner. The remains of the three treats were quickly swal- lowed by the greedy sand and there was nothing left except for bare popsicle sticks. So the winner is the Sour Patch Kids. Thanks to all those who participated. Stay cool.

That’s why it’s best to bring in a professional, someone who can pinpoint the problem and repair it right the first time. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for more than 30 years and has been in close to 15,000 homes in Durham region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine,” he says, “and I’m still learning.” Crawford’s extensive experience has taught him to be innovative and try different techniques to solve problems. He takes pride in his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Crawford adds that if he can try something else first, he will. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping,” he says. Crawford warns that it’s important not to ignore the problem. He says homeowners who invest in their foundations will save money in the long term. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one,” he says. “You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation.

As a result, the company rolled out sched- uled service interruptions throughout Ajax and Pickering, beginning at 5 p.m. and con- tinuing until about 7:30 p.m., to manage the high demand. About 4,400 customers were affected, with power outages lasting up to 30 minutes at a time. The company had asked residents to cur- tail their electricity use as much as possible before 9 p.m. in order to minimize the need for outages. “We reached our peak demand for this summer yesterday,” Mr. Mace said, noting it was the first time outages had been required. “The distribution system is back to normal today.” With hot temperatures expected to contin- ue throughout the summer, resident can help minimize demand on the grid and save a few dollars by signing up for one of Veridian’s conservation programs, which can be found online at www.veridian.saveonenergy.com. A few helpful tips for conserving through- out the summer include shifting non-essen- tial electricity use to off-peak times, setting the temperature one or two degrees higher when leaving the home for extended periods of time or even turning air conditioning off while you’re gone, using ceiling fans to help beat the heat, keeping doors and windows closed while the air conditioning is on, hang- ing clothes to dry instead of using the dryer and cooking outside on the barbecue instead of using the oven.

While there was flooding in areas of the GTA this weekend, due to torrential thunderstorms that moved through, much of southern Ontario remained parched and thirsty. A recent drive to Ottawa with my sister brought home to me how badly we need a good soaking. Cornfields were green, wheat fields golden and water lilies dot- ted the many wetlands along Hwy. 7 en route to the capital -- idyllic summer vistas. It wasn’t until we got to Arnprior, to drop off a friend of my sister’s, that reality set in. On a pleasant residential street within sight of the Otta- wa River, we were surprised to find the lawns completely brown. Not patchy green and tan, but totally bleached and crispy. A local resident told us they hadn’t had a drop of rain in the Ottawa Valley for 32 days. We were visiting my niece in Nepean, where lawns were nearly as brown, except where homeowners watered them. Bicycling along the canal to the his- toric village of Manotick in the cool of the morning, we could tell who the gardeners were by the lush greenery and colourful flowerbeds standing out in a sea of dried grass. We commented on a distinct, not unpleas- ant scent in the air, only to learn later that a 40-hectare brush fire was burning southwest of Ottawa -- ironically, in the Stoney Swamp Conservation Area. How often does a swamp catch fire? In the extreme conditions of what so far is the driest year on record in the Ottawa area even wet- lands dry up. They’re dry in cottage country as well. Taking part in the Halibur- ton County Butterfly Count on the weekend, I tromped around a beaver meadow that last week, on the dragonfly count, had been squishy and wet. Water levels had dropped so significantly I hardly got my feet damp. Big puddles on back roads last week, popular places for butter- flies to get a drink or absorb minerals, were caked with dried mud. Wherever the soil was shallow, on hilltops and ridges, the vegeta- tion was fried. Even the springs at Gull Lake, many cottagers’ source of drinking water, had run dry. At the family farm, we were surprised to flush two ruffed grouse from the wet, grassy seep below the well, the first time ever. They must have come across the hayfield from the bush to get a drink. The only turkeys we saw were along a wooded stream, also drawn to water. The only good news: at least mosquitoes aren’t as pesky.

Our pet of the week, a 14-year-old chow chow, was rescued after the Humane Society received a tip on June 21. Tied next to the porch of a house in north Oshawa, he was near death when animal cruelty officer Debby Houghton reached him. “I didn’t think he was going to make it,” she says, adding the vet- erinarian said if he’d been found 10 minutes later, Thor probably would have died. The humidex level on that day was near 43 C. Almost a month later, Thor is happy and comfortable at the Humane Society. He’s been groomed, has his own dog run and loves the cool tempera- ture inside the shelter. But he needs a home. “He needs to be somewhere until the end of his days where he’ll be comfortable and happy,” says Ms. Martens. Thor has arthritis, but other than that, his blood tests came back clean. “He’s older, but I know there are people out there that feel that’s the way to go, is to give them a forever home for not a long period of time, but just a period of time so the dog has a good life,” says Ms. Houghton. She will be pressing charges against the former owners. Although she can’t say Thor had a bad life before the incident, the owners made a “life-changing decision” that day and have to deal with the consequences, she says. The call about Thor is just one of many Ms. Houghton has received this summer relating to dogs left outside or in cars on hot days. If you want to give Thor a loving home, or if you see animals left out- side in the heat or in a hot car, call 905-665-7430. > DURHAM -- Thor, a 14-year-old chow chow, was rescued from near death on June 21 when he was found tied up outside in the scorching heat in Oshawa.

Call 911 immediately if you're with someone who has a high temperature and is either unconscious, confused or has stopped sweating. Move them to a cooler place, apply cold water to their skin and fan them un-til help arrives. Health Canada has more information at www.healthcanada.gc.ca./cc A root canal is the process of removing infected, injured or dead pulp tissue from your tooth. The space inside the hard layers of your teeth is referred to as the root canal system. This system is filled with soft dental pulp comprised of nerves and blood vessels that help your teeth grow and develop. When the nerve of your tooth becomes infected, a root canal allows you to keep your tooth rather than having it pulled out. Saving your tooth through this procedure helps prevent other teeth from drift-ing out of line and causing jaw problems. You also avoid having to replace your current tooth with an artificial one. Without a root canal, the tissue sur-rounding your tooth can become infected and ab-scesses may form. Unfortunately, root canals have the reputation of being painful. In actuality, this is quite the opposite. Most people report that the treatment is no more painful than having a filling placed. In fact, a root canal is just a deeper filling! While getting a root canal might require more than one dental appoint-ment, the procedure itself is quite standard: Your dentist will give you a local anesthetic (freezing). To protect your tooth from bacteria in your sa-liva during the treatment, a rubber dam is placed around the tooth. An opening in the tooth is made to reach the root canal system and the damaged pulp. Using very fine dental instruments, your dentist re-moves the pulp by cleaning and enlarging the root canal system. After the canal has been cleaned, your dentist fills and seals the canal. The opening of the tooth is then sealed with ei-ther a temporary or permanent filling. At a follow up appointment, a crown is placed on your tooth to protect it. Dr. Marvin Lean and the Pickering Square Den-tal team have been committed to providing excel-lent family dental care for over twenty-five years, with patients ranging from toddlers through to se-niors. Their goal is to provide their patients with the highest level of professional dental care in a safe, clean and trusting environment.

It's important to take precautions to protect yourself and those you may be caring for. In Toronto alone, an average of 120 deaths from extreme heat occurred annually between 1954 and 2000. In 2009, B.C. experienced an extreme heat event that lasted eight days with temperatures reaching 34.4oC/93.9oF contributing to 156 deaths. In Montreal in 2010, with average maximum temperatures exceeding 33oC/91oF for five consecutive days, 106 excess deaths were reported. Heat illnesses include heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat fainting, heat edema (swelling of hands, feet and ankles), heat rash and heat cramps (muscle cramps). Watch for symptoms of heat illness, which include: - Dizziness or fainting;- Nausea or vomiting;- Headache;- Rapid breathing and heartbeat;- Extreme thirst, and;- Decreased urination with unusually dark yellow urine. If you or someone in your care experiences any of these symptoms dur-ing extreme heat, move to a cool place immediately and drink cool liquids. Water is best. Summer Safety Week Signs and symptoms of heat stroke and heat exhaustion Heat stroke is a medi-cal emergency and must be treated. Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately if you see someone who is either unconscious, confused or has stopped sweating. While waiting for help, move them to a cool place, apply cold water to large areas of their skin and clothing and fan the person as much as pos-sible.

The thermostat peaked at around 36 C, but with the humidity it felt like 45 C. In Fahren- heit, that’s 113, or a temperature Canadians would normally associate with Phoenix or Houston or the Sahara Desert. While temperatures were reaching a new high, there was plenty of electricity to keep air conditioners and fans running, said Martine Holmsen, spokeswoman for the Independent Electricity System Operator. The IESO is responsible for ensuring the day-to-day availability of electricity. Demand on Tuesday was at “the highest levels we’ve seen all year,” Ms. Holmsen said, noting in the afternoon, about 24,000 mega- watts of electricity was being used. Ms. Holmsen noted, however, that while demand was high Tuesday, the amount “isn’t even in the top 20” in days when the most electricity was used. The highest volume came on Aug. 1, 2006, when 27,005 mw were used. “The high levels of demand are driven by air conditioning,” she noted. Tuesday evening, Veridian, which supplies power in Pickering, Ajax and Clarington, asked residents to cut their consumption. As for the water supply, Durham Region reported there are no restrictions beyond the odd-even lawn-watering rules. “At this time there are no additional water use restrictions in Durham, but it’s been (and continues to be) a very warm summer,” said spokeswoman Joanne Paquette. “If we’re going to avoid water restrictions we need resi- dents to keep up the good work by continu- ing water conservation efforts, including only watering their lawn when needed and follow- ing the odd-even day lawn-watering prac- tice.” Under the odd-even system, anyone with a street address ending in an odd number can water their lawn on an odd-numbered day. The same goes for anyone with an even-num- bered address. All but two of 14 beaches in Durham are open for swimming. Lakeview Beach West in Oshawa and Thorah Centennial Park in Brock Township have been posted as unsafe for swimming due to high bacteria counts. Temperatures are expected to remain in the 30 C range for the rest of the week and there’s no rain in the forecast.

What better place to do that than Har- vard? That’s where the 17 year old will be tak- ing his immense talent in August, when he joins the Crimson men’s basketball program for the next four years. “It’s the best school in the world and it’s the best fit for me to get a great edu- cation and play basketball at a high level,” says Okolie, a six-foot-eight for- ward, who recently wrapped up exams at Denis O’Connor and will head to Mas- sachusetts in August. “Harvard is chang- ing. The basketball program is getting a lot better. They see themselves compet- ing with other top schools as well. “They are a top-25 team and are doing really well.” The basketball program received an endless amount of publicity over the past year, with the emergence of Jeremy Lin, a Harvard grad in 2010, who carried the New York Knicks for a period before a knee injury ended his season. As well, the men’s basketball team qualified for the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1946, but bowed out in their open- ing game, losing 79-70 to Vanderbilt. A growth spurt as a youngster persuad- ed Okolie to give up soccer and concen- trate on basketball. Along the way he played club ball with the St. David Blues out of Vaughan, and a couple of times with the provincial program. It was about the time he was in Grade 8 or 9 that he began to entertain the thought of heading to the United States on a basket- ball scholarship. He watched as others signed on, including his sister, Adaeze, who will be a junior on the University of California Santa Barbara women’s bas- ketball team this season. “I look up to people like my sister and other people from the Toronto area who got scholarships as well. Seeing them do it gave me the motivation to do it as well,” he says. A number of schools reached out to Okolie, with his interest narrowed down to Kansas, Oklahoma, Rice, Penn State, Northeastern, Lafayette, Colgate and Harvard. It was the Ivy League schools that piqued his interest the most, with visits to Harvard and Rice. The scho- lastic reputation, basketball program and opportunity to play for coach Tom Amaker at Harvard were the factors that ultimately led to his decision. In the classroom he will be study- ing sciences, with special emphasis on biology and chemistry. On the court, he hopes his athleticism, defence and abil- ity to hit the open jump shot translates into playing time. “As long as you work hard and show that you are ready to play, rebound, play defence, you can make an immediate impact as a freshman,” he says of earning playing time. >BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com Okolie a Harvard man CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND AJAX -- Agunwa Okolie was all smiles as he packed his bag for Harvard. The Denis O’Connor graduate is heading to Harvard to play basketball for the NCAA university. Sports Briefs Ajax Minor Hockey Association announces Todd Smith as president AJAX -- The Ajax Minor Hockey Association (AMHA) has announced that Todd Smith has accepted the position of president. Smith has been involved with hockey for more than 40 years and has served as a head coach, trainer and board member in the AMHA since 2003. Recently, he served as the direc- tor of coaching for the AMHA where he oversaw coach development and selection for rep teams. “I’m extremely excited to represent the AMHA as president,” says Smith in a press release. “The Ajax Knights are an institution in the Durham Region and I look forward to con- tinuing the strong tradition of hockey excellence in Ajax.” Smith takes over the role from Wayne McNaughton, who vacated the position when conflicts arose that could not be resolved in a timely manner. In an effort to ensure that the preparation for the 2012-2013 season continued uninterrupted, Smith was voted in as president, unanimously, by the board of directors. Smith will be tasked with leading the AMHA over the next two years, focusing on growing enrolment, creating strong partnerships within the community and instituting procedures to bet- ter serve AMHA parents and players. He will be instrumental in strengthening the house league program and improving player development across the Ajax Knights rep program. Smith says, “I’m excited to work with the board of directors to build the necessary infra- structure so we can focus on developing our young hockey players and providing a safe and fun environment for our stars of tomorrow to shine.” He lives in south Ajax with his wife and three sons.

The ‘it’ being the level of suc- cess achieved both as a team and individually for members of the Pickering Soccer Club’s 94G team that he coaches. The entire roster of 18 players from throughout Durham Region has secured post-secondary commitments from a variety of schools, both in the United States at the NCAA level and closer to home here in the OUA and CIS. “Actually no, and I have been coaching for 23 years,” said Dea- breu when asked if he had any- thing to compare it to. “I believe we probably hold a record for that. I’ve never heard of a team getting (scholarships) for nearly every player on the team. Never.” Perhaps most interesting with regards to the process is that sev- eral of the teammates will contin- ue to be just that. Kayla Adams. Katelyn Arathoon, Rachel Hoek- stra and Chanice Rhoden have all committed to Fairleigh Dick- enson University in New Jersey, while Taylor Potts and Danielle Rotheram will join forces on the pitch at Central Michigan. Two others, Tamara Orlando and Colleen Beesley, will make the short move into Toronto and suit up for York University. Other commitments include Tessa Edwards, who is off to Indi- ana Purdue Fort Wayne, Noelle Leon-Palmer to the University of Maine, Amani Thomas at Eastern Kentucky University, Diarra Sim- mons at the University of Dayton, Danielle Pierce at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Mar- garet Carmichael at Wilfrid Lau- rier. Katharyn Avery is uncommit- ted but will be attending univer- sity in Canada, while three others, Madeline Iozzi, Nichelle Prince and Kailen Sheridan, have verbal commitments for 2013. The three Team Canada U17 members have given their word to Mississippi State, Ohio State and Clemson University, respectively. When Deabreu was asked what the key to success was for the group, he said it was rather sim- ple. “They are a talented bunch and they were disciplined and very mature for their age. I was able to take them over after the prior coach (Nixon Bernardino) did a lot of work with them,” he stated. “Their work ethic was great. It’s a lot of work, a lot of training. This is our third year and it’s really a remarkable accomplishment for all of them and it’s basically about the work ethic, discipline, atti- tude, respect and things that like that make you a good player and they have that.” Jason Liebregts / MetroLand PICKERING -- A number of members of the Pickering 94 girls’ team are moving onto NCAA scholarship opportunities and others will be playing at the next level at universities in Canada as well.

Ajax (inside Ajax Home Depot) Eight heading to nationals PICKERING -- When eight members of the Speed Academy head to Prince Edward Island next month for the Canadian nation- al youth track-and-field championships, they will do so with one goal in mind. To come back with a solid medal haul. “I think they all can medal, but there are a cou- ple that anything less than a win they’d probably be disappointed,” Speed Acad- emy coach Tony Sharpe says of his group of young athletes. “Well, not really disappointed, but I think they are going to nationals with the expectation to win ... That’s the given. We’re going there to win.” The elite eight consist of Brandon Bobb (100m sprint and relay), Keyshaun Cumberbatch (300m run and relay), Taylor Sharpe (400m run and relay), Mar- iam Abdul-Rashid (100m, 300m and relay), Joshua Cunningham (200m, 400m and relay), Myles Williams (400m and relay), Tacuma Anderson-Richards (high jump, triple jump) and Zack Lakeit (pentathlon). Their inclusion on the team represents 20 per cent of the roster. While Sharpe repeats his belief that all should be in line to medal, the two athletes he is most refer- ring to when the discus- sion entered the likelihood of winning gold are Abdul- Rashid and Anderson- Richards. Abdul-Rashid was a triple OFSAA gold medalist this past high school season at Eastdale Collegiate in Oshawa, while Anderson- Richards won at nationals last year and most recent- ly took home the senior national crown at the trials in Calgary. Meanwhile, the inclusion of eight on this year’s Team Ontario roster is up from the three named this time a year ago. That development, under- standably so, brings a big smile to Sharpe’s face and he says the reason behind the spike in high-level ath- letes within his club is a combination of their ded- ication to their craft, the help of a new member of the coaching staff and a change in general focus. “When we started the club it was sort of rec- reational almost. Since 2006 we’ve changed a bit of the direction,” Sharpe says. “Our focus became on being more of a high- performance organiza- tion and I think that has sort of attracted some of the more talented kids and we’ve brought in some bet- ter coaching resources,” Sharpe said. Case in point is the addi- tion of level 3 hurdles/ jump coach in Patrick Rus- sell, who is a teacher at Bill Crothers in Unionville. “He’s had a huge impact. He came onboard back in September and has had a huge impact on the jump- ers and I’ve got to give him credit. Anything related to hurdles or jumps, Patrick owns it. “There’s a great talent pool in Durham Region and when you put the right talent with the right coach- ing together, you start to see the results,” he says. The championship will be held on Aug. 17-19 in Char- lottetown, P.E.I.

Pictured, from left, are Josh Cunningham, Myles Williams, Mariam Abdul-Rashid, Brandon Bobb, Taylor Sharpe, Keyshaun Cumberbatch and Zack Lakeit. Absent is Tacuma Anderson-Richards. By shawn cayley scayley@durhamregion.com NEPEAN -- A total of 21 swimmers from the Pickering Swim Club com- peted in Nepean at the 2012 Jr. provincial swimming championships. Ten medals were brought home and Pickering fin- ished 18th out 68 Ontario swim teams in the over- all team point standings. A total of 51 best times were swam and Kayla Sanchez took the most time off in her individual events (-31.70 sec.). Janelle Gursoy (10 yr.) had a fabulous meet, swimming six individual events and three relays. Janelle won gold in the female 10 and under 100m back (1:17.91) and in the 50m free (31.16). She won silver medals in the female 10 and under 100m freestyle (1:08.62) and the 200m backstroke (2:49.50). These times set club records. The 50m back- stroke record was previous- ly held by Stephanie Peters from May 28, 1999. Janelle smashed this by two sec- onds. Warren Mayer (13 yr.) swam six individual events and brought home three silver medals in 50m free (26.70), 100m free (58.14), 100m breast (1:13.47) and a bronze medal in 400m IM (5:06.50). Kayla Sanchez (11 yr.) swam six events bringing home a gold medal 50m free (30.29) and bronze medal 100 freestyle (1:06.61). Other swimmers who qualified competed and took time off were: Jaime Baylon, Katrina Berry-Stav- ropoulos, Danielle Cornac- chia, Jacob Dosen, Sarah Elliott, Nicholas Geofroy, Ginelle Gursoy, Alex Lee, Matthew Lee, Kylie Max- well, Emily Mayer, Tyler Olson, Sabrina Rivas-Jaspe, Amy Smith, Hollie Smith, Jenna Stokes, Nader Tannir and Alexandra Vragovic.
