Sabrina Byrnes / MetrolandPickering mayor’s race heats up Dave Ryan seeking re-election for fourth term Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- With four months to go until the 2014 municipal election, the race for Pickering’s top political job is kicking into gear. Mayor Dave Ryan officially launched his bid for re-election with a celebration at Waterfront Bistro on June 18. He is being challenged by former council- lor Maurice Brenner and political newcomer Edoh Apaloo. This election will be a re-match for Mayor Ryan and Mr. Brenner, who last faced off in 2010. Mr. Brenner garnered 8,661 votes in that race, losing to Mayor Ryan, who won the seat with 10,361 votes. The municipal election is Oct. 27. Here’s an introduction to Pickering’s three mayoral hopefuls. • Dave Ryan Dave Ryan was first elected to Pickering council in 1994 as Ward 1 City councillor and made the jump to mayor in 2003. He is now seeking a fourth term, saying there is still much to accomplish. “I have been serving Pickering for 20 years, I have a proven record,” he says. “I want to build on that record to help secure a very exciting future.” Mayor Ryan, 67, says his campaign will focus on three main issues -- jobs, trans- portation and health care.

Much of the silence had to do with it being mid-morning on a Wednesday. But that didn’t dimin- ish the enthusiasm of a group of players who were enjoying an outing, escaping for a few hours together. Each member of the Durham Hospice day group has been deemed terminally ill, but the get- together was an illustration of just how much life is still within.

Durham professor helps wrongfully convicted Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Part of a relatively small network of researchers involved in eyewitness iden- tification, a UOIT professor knows this testi- mony can result in someone going to jail for a crime they didn’t commit. “I’ve been involved as a consultant or an expert witness in over 150 different cases,” said Dr. Brian Cutler, a University of Ontario Institute of Technology professor and associ- ate dean in the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities. Dr. Cutler mainly educates judges and juries on the psychology of eyewitness identi- fication, and how memory can sometimes go wrong. “I’m an educator,” said Dr. Cutler. “I find that fulfilling, regardless of how the case ends.” Most recently, Dr. Cutler was involved, albeit modest about his role, in assisting in Northwestern University’s Center on Wrong- ful Convictions’ efforts to exonerate a man who spent 19 years in prison for armed rob- bery and related charges. Christopher Cole- man was convicted based on eyewitness tes- timony only, as there was no physical evi- dence linking him to the crime. As a result of advocacy by the CWC, Mr. Coleman was released on bond in November and granted a new trial. Dr. Cutler reviewed the case file and submitted a report on the eyewitness identifications in the case. He was prepared to testify in the retrial, but in the end, the prosecutor dropped the charges. Dr. Cutler has written numerous books and articles on mistaken identification, having studied the topic since the 1980s. Dr. Cutler said between half and three- quarters of all known cases of wrongful con- viction involve mistaken identity. Although these witnesses were ultimately wrong, they were honest and confident. “Confident witnesses are persuasive to judges and juries,” said Dr. Cutler. Dr. Cutler is also an expert in false confes- sions and explained that suspects can be coerced into confessing to a crime, even if they didn’t do it. Techniques adopted by police include feigning sympathy for the suspect’s situation and offering face-saving excuses for the suspect’s behaviour. Tech- niques such as these can cause a suspect to start believing new truths, as can long inter- views and fatigue. Youth and people with developmental disabilities or mental illness are particularly susceptible to admitting to a crime they did not commit, Dr. Cutler said. Factors such as stress or the presence of a weapon can also make eyewitness testimo- nies less accurate. Other factors that can lead to mistaken identity include the manner in which a lineup is composed and conducted. Dr. Cutler was recently involved in a case where the lineup played a large role in a conviction. Duke University School of Law’s Wrongful Conviction Clinic is working to exonerate Charles Ray Finch, who has been in prison in North Carolina since 1976 when he was convicted of murder based on eyewit- ness identification. “Mistaken identification was a big factor in this case,” said Dr. Cutler. Dr. Cutler believes Mr. Finch was indicted based on many flaws, including a misleading lineup that largely led to his conviction after the murder of a store clerk. Mr. Finch was one of six black men placed in the lineup, and he was the only one wear- ing a three-quarter length coat -- a common item of clothing in the 1970s, one that the only eyewitness had recognized. Mr. Finch was largely indicted based on that eyewitness account. Dr. Cutler is still waiting to hear whether Mr. Finch, now 75, will get to walk free. While there is always pressure to close cases, police services have been improving their methods of collecting and presenting information to witnesses. “I think by and large, investigators want to get the right person,” Dr. Cutler said. For example, a witness used to be shown a lineup of six to eight photos simultaneously and asked to identify the person they believe committed the crime. Now, the photos are often shown one at a time so witnesses can just try to choose the correct person, rather than comparing them and choosing the per- son who simply looks most like the perpetra- tor. Also, officers not involved in the case will now usually show the photos because there is a risk that an officer involved in the case will inadvertently convey their expectation of whom to pick. These newer practices are based on research conducted by Dr. Cutler and others from universities across Canada and the U.S. OSHAWA -- Dr. Brian Cutler, a professor and associate dean with the faculty of social sciences and humanities at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, assisted Chicago-based Northwestern University’s Center on Wrongful Convictions in its efforts to exonerate a U.S. man.

About 300 union members were walking the picket line outside Regional headquarters in Whitby Monday. On Saturday, 52 per cent of the members voted to reject the final offer. The Region took the unusual step on Friday to make its final offer to the employees public, posting it online. Late Monday, the union offered the Region a settlement package it said would end the strike. “We have sent to management and all the councillors a proposal that we believe would end this dispute,” said Pauline Hopley, president of the local. No details of the pack- age were released. The CUPE members are ‘inside workers’ at the Region. The primary disruption in service is the closing of six of seven Region-run day- care centres during the dispute. On the picket line Monday, a striker who didn’t want her name used said arbitration should be considered to end the strike. “Real- ly, get back at the negotiating table right now, hippity hop.” The sticking point in negotiations is a clause dealing with absenteeism by paramedics. Another woman, Cecilia said, “We love our EMS. They saved my father’s life. If not, he wouldn’t have seen his grandchildren. A sick paramedic wouldn’t be able to do the job.” She said not giving in on the sticking point is “a matter of principle.” The Region is proposing changes to the cur- rent rules by requiring the first three sick days taken to be unpaid. If an employee was sick for more than three days, the Region is pro- posing to increase sick benefits beyond the current 15 weeks to 26 weeks. Those on the picket line have been arriv- ing at the Regional headquarters at 6:30 a.m. each day and staying until after 4:30 p.m., when employees would normally leave for the day. The strike is affecting some services at Durham Region’s Provincial Offences court building in Whitby, but cases, including tri- als, are still proceeding. “Court is going on as planned,” said court services manager Linda Fortier. “None of the matters are postponed, so people with court matters should attend.” It’s understood that people attending the Rossland Road building may be delayed because of pickets, and those with court dates are asked to take that possibility into consid- eration, Ms. Fortier said. Counter service is being provided between 10 a.m. and noon and between 1 and 3 p.m. Fine payments can’t be accepted, but those wishing to file documents relevant to their proceedings can do so. Those wishing to make payments can do so online at paytickets.ca, or by attending the Provincial Offences court in another jurisdic- tion. Court locations are available online at www.ontariocourts.ca. In addition there is no service for general telephone enquiries. Information on court files can be obtained at alternate POA courts. Matt Gaskell, the Region’s commissioner of corporate services, said, “We haven’t had a return to the table yet for negotiations.” The Region wants to see a “willingness” by the union to move off its position relating to paramedic absenteeism, he said. When asked if arbitration was an option, Mr. Gaskell said, “No it’s not. In a free bar- gaining process, the parties have to come to a resolution. It’s part of the sanctity of the pro- cess. We have to come to a resolution and not have one imposed by a separate party. A solu- tion is there to be found if we discuss them.” -- With files by Jeff Mitchell is closer than you think!

DEALS YOU LOVEFOR LESS He points to his track record on economic development, noting Pickering businesses employ about 8,000 more people than they did when he first took office. The mayor says examples include the attraction of new companies such as Search Engine People and the expan- sion of existing companies, such as Eco-Tec and Purdue Pharma. He says the focus in the future should be bringing jobs closer to where people live to alleviate traffic conges- tion, and working with the Province to mar- ket 800 acres of employment lands in Seaton. On the health care front, Mayor Ryan says a new hospital site is needed to take the pres- sure off Rouge Valley Ajax-Pickering -- poten- tially in northeast Pickering along the Hwy. 407 corridor. “Better health care helps us attract jobs, people are looking for that social infrastruc- ture,” he says. “I believe very strongly with the additional growth we’re having, there needs to be an additional hospital campus.” Asked about affordability and property taxes, Mayor Ryan says the key is getting help from upper levels of government. “We need to advocate at the federal and provincial level for more assistance with infrastructure in particular,” he says, pointing to success with projects such as a new $9 mil- lion harbour entrance, the cost of which was split between the three levels of government. If re-elected, Mayor Ryan also wants to bring an arts centre and hotel and conven- tion centre to Pickering over the next term of council, as well as expanded services for seniors. The mayor has lived in Pickering since 1985. He and wife Anne raised two daughters here and he has been involved with a long list of community organizations. When he was elected mayor in 2003 he retired from a 33-year career in business man- agement at IBM. In 2010 he was recognized by Alive magazine as one of Canada’s greenest mayors. • Maurice Brenner Maurice Brenner comes to the mayor’s race familiar with the council table. He was first elected as Ward 1 City coun- cillor in 1985 and again in 1988, then repre- sented Ward 1 residents as regional council- lor until 2006. “I understand budgets, I understand how things work, I have that experience,” he says. In his time away from politics, Mr. Brenner, 63, says his commitment to serving the com- munity hasn’t changed. “Instead of Regional councillor Maurice Brenner, I became community advocate Maurice Brenner,” he explains. One of his major concerns is property taxes, which he describes as unaffordable. Mr. Brenner says he would tackle the issue by including the public in the budget process from the beginning, as opposed to soliciting opinions “in the final hour” when the docu- ment is nearly complete. He is also calling for better overall transpar- ency and accountability at City Hall. Mr. Brenner says he is concerned by recent rumours that the Town of Ajax offered to pay the City of Pickering a share of its casino rev- enues, and that the offer was never taken before council. “There should have been debate and discussion on this,” he says. Other planks in his campaign include cre- ating a seniors’ strategy, creating an employ- ment strategy tied to the construction of new development and fostering a more inclusive council -- a reference to the current council’s 4-3 voting pattern. “The current council has been divided with no attempt by the current leadership to address the impact this is having,” he says. Mr. Brenner’s professional background in human rights includes his current role as managing director for the Office of Diversity Fairness and Human Rights at Toronto Com- munity Housing. He is also an active community volunteer who received a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award in 2013 in recognition of 40 years of community service. A longtime Pickering resident, his blended family includes “soulmate” Anne Bridge, four children and three grandchildren. • Edoh Apaloo Edoh Apaloo is a newcomer to politics and says it was property taxes that motivated him to seek the City’s top political job. “Over the past few years property taxes have been going up and going up,” he says. “Peo- ple can’t afford it, it’s making it impossible for people to live in Pickering.” While Mr. Apaloo, 53, has never run for office before, he comes from a political fam- ily and says an interest in civic issues is “in his genes.” If elected, his priority will be keeping property taxes “low and affordable.” He hopes to accomplish this by stream- lining City services, finding efficiencies and increasing public input in the budget process. Mr. Apaloo says he is concerned that a large percentage of Pickering’s revenue goes to pay salaries and benefits, an equation he says is unsustainable. He suggests that comparing Pickering’s employee salaries with those in the private sector could unearth possible savings. “I want to make changes, City Hall needs a new direction,” he says. His other campaign priorities include scru- tinizing City debt -- he is opposed to the amount of money being borrowed for the new soccer dome -- and job creation. Mr. Apaloo says he wants to change Pickering from a “sleep city to a booming city” by increasing incentives for businesses to locate here and streamlining regulatory requirements. Mr. Apaloo has lived in Pickering for 14 years and is an accountant with a profession- al background in finance and law. He is a married father of three children and an active community member.

Some say that cannabis is no more dangerous than alcohol. I submit that can- nabis is not even remotely as dangerous as alcohol. If we consume a 1.75-litre bot- tle of either whiskey, rum or vodka within an hour, we will almost certainly die as a result. On the other hand, if we consume the world’s most potent cannabis all day long, the worst result would be a severe case of the munchies.

Neil wondered how the ETR 407, a private company, “wangled” the Ontario govern- ment’s help in its bill-collecting process. How it is that the government of Ontario can break privacy laws and provide person- al private information without a person’s consent to a non-government company to facilitate billing? Answer anyone? Dave Povinsky Habitat still building dreams in Durham Beauty pageants and cockfights �ack home in Whitby, it is not often that I would think to watch the moon rise. Now, as I sit on the library roof alone, I can see the glow of the waning moon creeping through the mango trees. It’s simply stunning. Once again, I will sleep up here tonight, under the star-filled sky, embracing the bugs. I have gladly dragged my floor mattress to this spot, from my dormitory, to witness this nightly occurrence. It is hard to believe that I have already been volunteering here in San Augustin, Philippines, for two weeks. In some ways it feels as if I am just beginning to grasp where I am; and at the same time, it feels like I have known people here all my life. The young regulars of the library call me “Ate Madelin,” meaning “big sister Mad- elin,” and I feel like I am a member of a beautiful extended family. I am volunteering with a great group of individuals, hailing from four continents. We each bring different experiences and skills to the various projects we are work- ing on in the community: be it building a water tower, teaching at a local grade school, assisting at a daycare centre, or in my case, based at the library and dab- bling in various projects. Last week, I had the rare opportunity to be a supply teacher in a Grade 3 class for two days. It was well worth it for me to lose my voice, as I pulled out every sing-along song in my repertoire. While I am here promoting the use of a library as a means of gaining free access to information, I believe that most of my learning here is a direct result of my daily experiences. Being abroad reinforced for me the importance of travel -- there is so much to be gained by stepping outside one’s local- ity. Where in Whitby can I attend a cock- fight and a beauty pageant all in the same day? -- Madelin D’Agnillo is an 18-year-old Whitby resident volunteering in the Philippines who has become a sunscreen hoarder. Madelin Burt-D’Agnillo Guest column Mission abroad A group of committed and cheerful workers is helping Habitat for Humanity in its quest to build a dream for local families in Durham. The Women’s Build took place June 19 and 21 at Habitat for Humanity’s Centretown project in Oshawa which, when completed in 2016, will consist of six townhouse units at Centre Street. Some 150 volunteers came out over the course of the two-day volun- teer effort, and their cheerful countenance served to complement the sounds of a work in progress: hammering, cutting, screwing and fitting sheets of drywall. And though the mood was light -- also making the workload easier to manage -- the job being done is a serious step towards self-sufficiency for those who will earn the right to purchase the units, raise families and join other Canadians in the challenges and rewards of home ownership. Here at home, Habitat for Humanity Dur- ham has been active in the region’s com- munities. Along with the Centretown build, Habitat is working with officials in Scugog to secure a plot of land deemed surplus by the municipality to eventually begin another project. Internationally, Habitat for Humanity has built more than 300,000 homes, 1,400 of them in Canada. And while the Centretown build has drawn a host of happy volunteers in recent months, corporations such as RBC have come through with cash. Habitat gratefully accepted a cheque for $10,000 from RBC, presented by Oshawa Mayor John Henry. The Women’s Build event also brought out some high-profile volunteers such as MPPs Christine Elliott, Tracy MacCharles and Jennifer French. But Habitat always welcomes volunteers, donations and expertise. Local residents interested in donating time or money can contact the organization locally at 905-428- 7434 or toll-free at 1-877-758-4343. Alter- natively, residents can assist by patronizing Habitat’s ReStore outlets which sell gently used building supplies, household items, and more. The ReStores are also supported by a host of Durham-based businesses. The community-based builds help cre- ate bonds, provide a perfect opportunity for charitable work and, in the end, literally make dreams come true for families. The Centretown build is the current focus, but there will be others, and Durham will be called upon again to do their part. If the past is any indication, there will never be a shortage. As the saying goes: build it and they will come. Yes, I have an app for that If you have a smartphone, chances are you have apps. And no, that doesn’t mean you should rush to a hospital or get a pen- icillin shot. Although, who am I to say? Depending on your lifestyle and choice of friends, that might be a good call. Apps, for the purposes of this essay, is the short form for ‘applications’; those games, tools and nifty little bits of software that clutter up our phones and suck up great gobs of our lives. There are literally hundreds of thou- sands of apps. Some of them, like weather, map or scheduling applications are actu- ally quite handy but a quick perusal of the top sellers at the App Store paints a slightly less productive picture. Most of us are using our phones as very expensive, hand-held, Soma. Life getting you down? Stuck in an uninspiring job? Not really into the person sitting across from you? No worries. Happi- ness, or at least a sparkly, animated, high- res facsimile of it, is only a click or two away. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-goof- off by any means. I’m practically the post- er boy for Daydreamers Anonymous, but I like to think I pick my moments. What a lot of people are not at all coming to grips with is that these little electronic gizmos that are touted as time savers and life enhancers are actually highly addictive time guzzlers and life-wasters. I think it would be frighteningly eye-opening if we were able to see, through some kind of time-lapse photography, just how many times a day we reach for that phone. And it’s only getting worse. But smartphones and tablets are not going away any time soon, so perhaps it’s time to introduce some slightly more practi- cal applications. Consider the following: Instacramp: For individuals stuck in the chronic cycle of photographically docu- menting life instead of actually living it in the present moment. Each time you begin to waste a little more time by clicking on this app, it automatically triggers an onset of irritable bowel syndrome, forcing you to drop your phone and find a washroom. Angry Turds: this is the companion app to Instacramp. Thinterest: Every time you ‘pin’ a digi- tal picture of something you think is cool instead of actually going out and experienc- ing real beauty first-hand, this ingenious app infects you with increasing amounts of ennui and lethargy until eventually you have no interest whatsoever in picking up your phone and would rather take a walk in a forest. Fritter: this wonderful app kicks in every time you waste precious ‘living’ time, send- ing out 140 character bursts of inanity. When you feel the urge to tell everyone on the net about what flavour ice cream cone you’re eating or how you totally love J. Beebs or how you just had the longest burp ever, a clever algorithm displays how many seconds are left in your life and exactly how many of them you have already squandered on this type of bilge. eHowmany: an incredible dating app that inspires you to get your head out of your phone by showing you a continually run- ning count of how many people around you actually met and fell in love while getting outside and doing something active. Lose my iPhone: this great little app does exactly what it says. When you’ve hit rock bottom in your digital addiction and can no longer hold a meaningful conversation without tweeting, texting, pinning or post- ing every two minutes, this program causes your phone to throw itself down the nearest sewer.

Hon- estly where are their parents and who let’s these kids run around late at night? BEHIND THE LENS OSHAWA -- I liked this shot taken during a Hed- ley concert. The camera position and the lighting at the concert was extremely challenging, with bright overpowering flashes of light followed by deep shadow. The backlighting of this spotlight shows the atmosphere and energy of the per- former with the glitter of all the cellphones in the mist. JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND 1. Nova Scotia 2. Florida 3.

South Carolina Source: Canadian Automobile Association Bill Armstrong: Why do people think that the paper towel dispensers need to be so high on the wall so that when you wash your hands and reach for the paper towel the water has now run up to your armpit? Or the hand dryer is right in line with the door so when you’re drying your hands you get smacked with the door every time someone comes in. This stuff drives me insane. Timothy Sparrow: People who don’t know how to accelerate up to speed while merging onto the highwaykids run around late at night? Jess Wannamaker: No manners! People who never say thank you or hold the door, things like that. It’s pathetic and gets worse every day. I hate to see what society will be like when our chil- dren are adults. Lisa Marie: People who are rude to people who work in retail -- or with the public in general. We might not have what you’re looking for in stock. It happens. It is not our fault. Lou Lou Hickling: People with invis- ible disabilities like myself who are disrespected and challenged when using disabled parking or lose balance so others think you’re drunk. Just ask nicely, more than will- Kelly-Ann Bowman-L’heureux: AMEN! And the jerks that don’t let you in when your trying to merge ! Liz Graham: People are in such a rush driving, that they forget how to read and obey the traffic laws. STOP, means come to a full stop and allow the first car that arrives at the sign to proceed, NOT try to get through the intersection as quick as possible while almost causing an accident. It’s not a game. I also see cars not stopping for school buses. They see the sign out and the lights flashing, but ... feel the need to proceed anyway. Slow down people. If you kill someone or get into an accident, it will be too late. Too many people in Oshawa need driver training or they drive illegally without a licence... 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 n e 2 5 , 2 0 1 4 8 P Discover and createmoments of joy!

Working in conjunction with Durham Hospice, we will profile people who are nearing the end of life’s journey. We will also be featuring the people and volunteers associated with Durham Hospice. OSHAWA -- It was unusually quiet for a bowling alley, except for the lanes occupied by those with the Durham Hospice day program. Much of the silence had to do with it being mid-morning on a Wednes- day. But that didn’t diminish the enthusiasm of a group of players who were enjoying an outing, escap- ing for a few hours together. Each member of the Durham Hos- pice day group has been deemed terminally ill, but the get-together was an illustration of just how much life is still within. “It’s a wonderful time renew- ing friendships, meeting new peo- ple that have joined the group,” said Barb Henderson of Oshawa, who can only make monthly visits instead of weekly because of chemotherapy treatments. “It’s a great opportunity, other- wise I feel isolated. This gives me a chance to come out with people and do new things.” Millicent Todd, originally from England but now residing in Oshawa, had never rolled a traditional game of bowling before. “It’s company and change for me because I live alone,” she said of the appeal to the pro- gram. “We support one another which is another thing. I’m just loving it.” The Durham Hospice day program allows terminally ill clients to get together with co- ordinators and volunteers on a weekly basis to share their stories, build some camarade- rie, enjoy lunch and an activity together. The sessions give each of them something to look forward to. On this day, a palliative care co-ordinator, the interim executive director and five vol- unteers from Durham Hospice are oversee- ing the outing. One of those volunteers, Mag- gie Cavalier, has been donating her time with hospice for three years. “This brings an element of fun,” she said of the bowling. “A lot of them would never get out to anything like this, so it’s really impor- tant. “It’s important how they look at things. They bond so well. They are just wonderful people.” Terminally ill go bowling with Durham Hospice day programLet the good times roll instead of weekly because of chemotherapy treatments. “It’s a great opportunity, other-OSHAWA -- Barb Henderson lined up her shot (top) during a hospice day program bowling event at Neb’s Fun World on June 17.

These extraordinary young men and women have exhibited strong leadership, volunteerism, athletic and artistic ability, and also academic achievement. There are ten Ontario Hyundai Scholarships awarded per year to graduating Grade 12 from Durham Region. The scholarships awarded are $1000.00 per student per year and are renewable each year for up to four years. There will be a maximum of forty students in the program at any given time. For more information, or to donate to The Ontario Hyundai Scholarship Foundation, please visit ourweb site at www.ontariohyundaischolarships.ca “The Ontario Hyundai Scholarships’ main mission is to help financially assist Durham Region students. Over our 30 years in Durham Region, Ontario Hyundai has supported many causes and charities. The establishment of The Ontario Hyundai Scholarships is a natural progression for us and one we felt was important and timely. Post-Secondary education is rapidly becoming more expensive. Students and their families are struggling to come up with the resources to achieve the dream of continuing their education and the journey towards success. Our belief is that the world is becoming more and more competitive and we have to promote the value of education to our youth. Education is their passport to the future and without it they may be left behind. We are proud and honoured to offer our support to these exemplary young men and women”.

Eco-Tec is a global supplier of industrial water treatment and chemical recovery systems. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Ironheads come up short in playoff push Jr. B lacrosse club finishes ninth overall, one point out of playoffs Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ajax Ironheads head coach Ron Reed got a glimpse of the future and he likes what he sees. Much of the future for the Jr. B lacrosse club was in the lineup this season, as the Ironheads dressed 11 rookies for the OLA Jr. B season. And, because of inju- ries, Reed was able to call up some of the future from the West Durham organiza- tion. While the future looks promising, it didn’t translate to much success this sea- son, and as a result, the Ironheads failed to make the playoffs. They finished with a 6-13-1 record, one point back of the Nepean Knights for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East Conference. Injuries plagued the Ironheads all sea- son, and in their final game in Mimico, a 9-7 loss, were only able to dress 15 run- ners. “I’ve never had a year like this in all the years I’ve been coaching as far as the injuries went,” said Reed. “Tons of inju- ries. Long-term injuries which is surpris- ing.” Mitchell Gustavsen scored twice and added three assists in the loss, while Pat- rick Morgan also scored twice. Single tal- lies came from the sticks of Steven Berg- er, Easton McDonald and Ryan Morrison. The Ironheads left some points on the table this season that cost them a spot in the post season. A tie against Mississau- ga who had just three wins, a loss to Oril- lia who finished with just two wins, and letting a 9-5 lead after two periods slip away, losing 13-10 on their home floor to Gloucester are just a few examples of missed opportunities. When just one more win was needed to sneak into the playoffs, the Ironheads dropped their final three games. “Inconsistent lacrosse,” Reed said in summing up the season. “Not being able to play lacrosse for 60 minutes cost us a playoff spot. “It was just one of those years with a big change-over at the start. Very inju- ry prone this year. On a positive we only lose three kids to overage this year versus nine last year.” Those three are Josh Kennedy, Easton MacDonald and Robert Grant. If everyone eligible returns to the fold and some new additions contribute, Reed is optimistic about next season. “If we manage to stick together we’ll be much more competitive,” he said. “Hopefully playoff bound and once you get there you don’t know what you can do.” 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 n e 2 5 , 2 0 1 4 15 APSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 CLARINGTON -- Clarington Green Gaels’ Alex Brennan tried to keep a handle on the ball while taking a glove to the face from Ajax Ironheads’ Ryan Morley during Jr. B lacrosse action at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex. Clarington won 12-4. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Chelayne Bailey off to world basketball championships PICKERING -- Chelayne Bailey has had trips to France and the Czech Republic added to her summer itinerary. This was confirmed after Canada Bas- ketball named the Pickering resident as one of 12 women who will represent Team Canada at the 2014 FIBA U17 World Championship in the Czech Republic. The Cadette Women’s National Team will look to build off their recent suc- cess, which included a bronze and silver medal in the past two years respectively. “We are thrilled with our team. Over my four years, this was the toughest year for selection. It is always an honour to be a part of the athlete’s first experience at a world championship,” said head coach Carly Clarke. “All of our athletes have put in a tre- mendous amount of work to prepare themselves for the World Championship experience. “Every world championship presents different challenges game to game -- the cohesiveness, IQ and diversity of our ath- letes skill sets will present challenges for our opponents.” Bailey, a five-foot-five guard, led Pickering High School to a LOSSA cham- pionship this past season. First, Canada played in an exhibition tournament in Nogent-sur-Seine, France to prepare for the World Championships. They played France, the United States and China on consecutive days from June 20-22. At the World Championships, Cana- da will compete in Group A. The group features Hungary, Korea and the host nation, Czech Republic. Canada’s first game will be on Saturday, June 28 against Hungary, followed by Korea (June 29) and the Czech Republic (July 1).

Submitted photo Cyclists off to a speedy start PICKERING -- The 2014 cycling season is underway with two races already completed. Barrie hosted the first race of the season with the second being held in Newmarket. Pickering’s Olivia Pali and Ema Archbold picked up where they left off last season in the Ontario Youth Cup road cycling series. Pali, 9, finished second overall in the U11 division last year, and won her first two races of 2014. She used her cornering skills to avoid crash- ing in Barrie, and finished with a strong uphill sprint in Newmarket to secure top spot in both events. Archbold, 12, was Ontario’s third- place finisher last season and has moved up to the U15 division for 2014. Using her small stature to her advantage, she placed fourth over- all in Barrie. In the hillier Newmar- ket race, she was able to use her climbing skills and aerodynam- ic body position to her advantage which earned her an overall silver on the podium. Both girls, who ride for Madon- na Wheelers PB-Transplace, will be working on sprinting in prepa- ration for the next four races in the Youth Cup series. The races in Lon- don, Windsor, and Markham will be much flatter than the hilly New- market course. Other Durham racers who par- ticipated included provincially ranked speedskater Noah Chow of Pickering, Summer Sandford of Pickering, and JD Archbold. Ajax’s Max Schindler used his fitness from triathlon to finish10th in the boys’ U-15 division in Newmarket. PICKERING -- Olivia Pali of Pickering led the way during an Ontario Youth Cup road cycling race in Newmarket. Submitted photo Cubs win opening tourney MISSISSAUGA -- The Pickering Ajax Minor Peewee AAA Cubs opened their season with a tour- nament championship. The team went an impressive four wins and one loss during the Mississauga Majors Tournament. The championship game required extra innings as the team was able to overcome an early deficit for the comeback victory. Timely hitting by Ethan Gomez with an extra innings tri- ple, Michael Junior Chambers with a walk off winning smash to left field and PJ Bauer with a bases loaded triple, gave the team the life lesson reminder to never give up. The team got outstanding pitching on championship Sun- day from lefty Dylan Brady who pitched the final four innings for the win. Michael Asselin pitched awe- some in the semi-finals and Michael Watson pitched in both the semi-final and final games for the victories. Noah Mitchell, Alex Gaspar and Caleb McVeigh had an excellent tournament batting average that helped contribute to the winning weekend. The defensive stand- outs were Robert Groen at catch- er and controlling the pitchers, Justin Carinci in center field run- ning many fly balls down and throwing lasers to the infield, Maxwell Fraser-Stewart who had the vacuum glove at third and Mitch Ireland who was able to be a versatile stand-out in pitching, catching and shortstop. The team will attend a Cooper- stown tournament in August. Carriers of the Week Congratulations Michael for being our Carrier of the Week. 279 Kingston Rd. E.,Ajax 260 Kingston Rd.
