"The situation in Durham is similar to other areas within the province," said Durham Region public health nurse Chris Arnott. "We are also seeing an increase in overdoses." In 2016 emergency department visits related to opioid use were 248 at Lakeridge Health, and in 2017 that number jumped to 347, said Paul McGary, director of mental health and addictions at Lakeridge Health and Pinewood Centre. He said fentanyl use has been on the rise in recent years. "As a drug it's a very powerful opioid," he said.

The Durham District School Board recently an- nounced the names for two new elementary schools opening this fall - Northern Dancer P.S. in north Osha- wa and Viola Desmond P.S. in Ajax. Northern Dancer was a Canadian-bred thorough- bred racehorse that won the 1964 Kentucky Derby and retired at Windfields Farm, close to the new school's location. Desmond is best known for challenging racial seg- regation at a cinema in New Glasgow, N.S., in 1946. Her image will appear on a $10 bill set to start circulat- ing later this year. So, how exactly are school names chosen? Christine Nancekivell, chief facilities officer for the DDSB, says an ad hoc committee is created for each school in need of a name - it includes trustees, a superintendent, the prin- cipal of the school in ques- tion as well as community members. Then, the public is invit- ed to submit name sugges- tions. A DDSB guideline says proposed school names should reflect a person who has made a "significant contribution" to the region, province or country - but it's not an option to name a school after a current DDSB employee or board member. Other options include a historical name that once applied to the area the school is located in, or the name of the street the school is on. Nancekivell says the DDSB really encourages the public to get involved in the process. "A school is such a big party of every community," she says. "It's a building that's in a community for many years and it's a big part of the makeup of each neighbourhood." She says the DDSB typ- ically receives "quite a sub- stantial list" of name sug- gestions. For example, 93 name suggestions were submit- ted for the new Ajax school opening this fall - examples included Juno Beach P.S., Jim Flaherty P.S. and Mul- berry Meadows P.S. The DDSB received 89 name suggestions for the new Oshawa school, some examples were Gord Dow- nie P.S., Battle of Dieppe P.S. and Agnes Macphail P.S. The DDSB has four new elementary schools set to open in the next couple of years, which will need names as well. They include another new north Oshawa school opening in fall 2019, and three schools set to open in fall 2020 - one in Whitby, a French immersion school in Ajax and a consolidated school in Brock. The naming process typically takes place the spring before opening. While most DDSB school names follow the convention of a famous Ca- nadian or a local street name, there are some un- usual ones in the mix. For example, da Vinci P.S. in Ajax is named after famous artist Leonardo da Vinci, even though he was not Canadian. DDSB superintendent Camille Williams-Taylor said in 2012 that the name was chosen because da Vinci's "visionary works have stood the test of time" and the name is "associated with forward thinking and creativity." Schools are occasional- ly renamed too. O'Neill C.V.I in Oshawa opened as Oshawa High School in 1909, but was lat- er renamed after Albert O'Neill, a longtime princi- pal who led the school's ex- pansion and transition to collegiate status. Sometimes, school name choices become con- troversial, after the fact. Last summer, the Ele- mentary Teachers' Federa- tion of Ontario called on school boards across the province to rename schools bearing the name of Canada's first prime minister - such as Sir John A. Macdonald P.S. in Pick- ering. ETFO urged boards to rethink the name "in recog- nition of his central role as the architect of genocide against Indigenous peo- ples, the impact that this has on the relationship be- tween Indigenous and non- Indigenous students, par- ents and educators, and the ways in which his name- sake buildings can contrib- ute to an unsafe space to learn and to work." So far, the DDSB hasn't made any move to recon- sider the Pickering school's name. The Durham Catholic District School Board also seeks public input when naming new schools, which typically reflect "names or places associat- ed with the Catholic faith," or a person who has made contributions to the school community or society as a whole. The DCDSB's most re- cent new school name is St. Kateri Tekakwitha C.S. in north Oshawa, which opened in 2015. St. Kateri Tekakwitha is the first female, Indige- nous saint in North Amer- ica. She is the patron saint of ecology and her feast day is celebrated on April 17. DCDSB superintendent Bob Camozzi said St. Kate- ri was chosen out of 48 name suggestions because it "reflects our rich First Nations history in Oshawa and the surrounding area." HOW DURHAM'S SCHOOLS GET THEIR NAMES The Durham District School Board recently announced the names of two new elementary schools set to open this fall -- Northern Dancer Public School in north Oshawa and Viola Desmond Public School in Ajax.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM EDITORIAL LETTERS & COMMENTARY Baseball should be a field of dreams for all who want to be involved in the game. And, that's why it's so impor- tant that a dream comes to fruition to construct a fully accessible diamond in Whitby for all special needs kids in Durham to showcase their abilities. The Durham Region Challenger Baseball League is pitching a fundraising campaign to get an accessible diamond of its own. And, the group appears to be en route to hitting a grand-slam home run in making it happen. What started out as the Whitby Challenger Baseball League with about a dozen players four years ago, has morphed into a Durham-wide league that now has more than 70 players from the ages of five to 20, with some exceptions, turning out and playing the game they love. The name was changed to become more inclusive and to encourage all players with special needs throughout Durham to join in the fun. Challenger Baseball allows children with cognitive or physical disabilities to enjoy the benefits of participa- tion in baseball at a level that is structured to their abil- ities. Each player gets an able-bodied "buddy" who stays with them for the entire game, helping them make the most of their time on the field. The Town of Whitby has been most accommodating to the needs of Challenger Baseball, offering the league a parcel of land at Willow Park in the northeast side of the town for its diamond. And, the league has recruited some all-star help in their quest to construct the acces- sible diamond. No less than former Toronto Blue Jays second baseman, two-time World Series winner, perenni- al all-star and hall of famer Roberto Alomar has come out to the field to help out the players, but has also con- tributed financially through his Foundation 12, a Cana- dian charitable organization started by him and his wife Kim Alomar to serve youth baseball players. The diamond project is expected to cost about $350,000. Foundation 12 will be contributing $100,000 to the initiative. Another organization has also committed to topping up the funding. Pending Whitby council's support of the project, a target date for opening of the diamond is late 2019. We hope a fully accessible baseball diamond is ready for next summer to meet the needs of all special needs players in Durham. It will be good to hear the diamond crackle with the sounds of the ball on the bat next sum- mer. A FIELD OF DREAMS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS BALL PLAYERS IS A DREAM COME TRUE SOLVING OUR REFUGEE CRISIS To the editor: Don't you get tired of the name calling and fin- ger pointing? As a parent and educator, I've always taught my kids that find- ing fault is not important, but finding solutions is. I only wish some of our pol- iticians would heed that simple message. While it may not seem like it from our relatively isolated place of privilege in Port Perry, Canada is in the middle of a refugee crisis that is only going to get ex- ponentially worse. Our emergency shelters are overflowing now? Guess what? One million former refugees from Haiti and El Salvador are soon going to discover they are no longer welcome in the United States under Don- ald Trump's Zero Toler- ance policy on refugees. Consider that this num- ber is more than 15 times higher than the total number of refugees wel- comed to Canada in 2017. Yet it truly is just the tip of the iceberg as this presi- dent attempts to close his borders. Where do you think these people will go? Blaming the other guy is politically expedient, yet massively unproduc- tive. Attempting to label asylum seekers as "illegal border crossers" is not on- ly deliberately inaccu- rate, but blames the vic- tim, which is divisive, mean and decidedly un- Canadian. Let's take an- other approach, shall we? Let's try to be grown-ups and work together at all levels of government to come up with real solu- tions. Invest more re- sources into the refugee screening process to al- low applications to move quicker through the sys- tem. Make meaningful in- vestment in affordable housing and our emer- gency shelter system for the first time in decades. Support the resettlement of refugees to other parts of our province that are looking for labour and have available housing. Provide front line support for people who are seek- ing asylum, many of whom are fleeing atroci- ties most of us cannot even begin to imagine. Canada is a country of immigrants. This is not only the right thing to do, but it is also an opportuni- ty. Like I tell my kids ... Get along. Get to work. Get it done. STEVE KREIDER PORT PERRY READER PROPOSES REMOVING TOLLS IN SUMMER MONTHS To the editor: Re: The time to remove tolls from Hwy. 412 is now, letter, June 21 I am responding to the letter regarding the tolls on Highway 412. Like ev- eryone else I agree with the removal. I also under- stand the government needs money. I would propose remov- al of tolls from May 1 to Oct. 31. There is a lot more traffic due to cottages, summer vacations and different events. The re- moval would alleviate some of the heavy traffic. JACQUELINE MCPHERSON WHITBY 9 | New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , J u l y 2 6 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m "Three years ago I planted three milkweed plants in my garden," Dean Pegler of Ajax told me in an email. "The two that lived grew only a foot tall, no flowers or pods. Last year five plants emerged and grew about two feet, no flowers, no pods. This year they came out in the garden and through the grass, about sixty of them!" Dean sent a picture of his milkweed patch in bloom and sug- gested a column on how they reproduce. I've written about the all-important host plant of the endangered mon- arch butterfly many times, but not about com- mon milkweed's spread- ing root system. Each stalk has a deep taproot that reaches far down in- to the earth for water and nutrients. At the same time shallow rhizomes grow out around it, help- ing to anchor and feed the plant, and where condi- tions are right, eventual- ly send up new shoots. T hat's how we get whole groves of these waist-high nectar facto- ries, the globular mauve blossoms of which are perfuming the air right now, drawing all sorts of pollinators to come for a drink, not just butter- flies. And each tiny tubu- lar flower in each lush umbel develops a seed that, once the pods split open in fall, goes floating off on a silken sail, help- ing to spread the species. Monarchs were wise to evolve in tandem with these successful and rig- orous colonizers, which range through most of eastern North America. It is also smart for yellow- black-and-white-striped monarch caterpillars to feed on milkweed leaves, taking in the toxic, bitter- tasting chemicals that milkweeds produce to protect themselves from grazing animals. It makes the monarchs taste bad to possible predators as well. To transplant milk- weed, dig a root ball that's wide and deep, come fall, preserving as much of the taproot and rhizomes as possible. Put it in a pail to keep the soil in place, plant it in a sunny loca- tion where it has room to spread, and water well for a few weeks. Milkweed seeds must undergo win- ter cold before sprouting, so sow seeds you collect in late fall in a mulched bed. Water for the first year, then stand back, let 'em grow, and wait for monarchs to come find them.

When their doctor won't pre- scribe it anymore, they turn to the streets and score drugs from illegal sources. McGary said in many cases drug overdoses from fentanyl are not related to a person who shouldn't have taken that extra hit; it was someone who didn't know just how strong the drug was. "It's a public health disaster in fact," he said. But Lakeridge and many orga- nizations in Durham are working to address the problem. In August 2017, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care an- nounced public health units across the province were ac- countable to improve local opioid response capacity. The scope of this work is divided into three components: local opioid re- sponse; Naloxone (a medication used to block the effects of opioids, especially in overdose) distribution; and opioid overdose early warning and surveillance. The Durham Region health department has released the new Opioid Response Plan Report which highlights the goals and next steps in dealing with opioid misuse in Durham. In October 2017, the health de- partment held an opioid forum, bringing together local agencies to discuss opioid misuse in Dur- ham and to begin planning for a co-ordinated local response to this urgent situation. "We had over 90 participants, representatives from community agencies attend that forum," said Arnott. The results of that forum are detailed in the Durham Region Opioid Forum Report, available online at durham.ca. The Durham Opioid Task Force, which emerged from the Opioid Forum, consists of a broad representation of key community stakeholders. It includes treat- ment and harm reduction organi- zations, first responders such as police, fire and paramedic servic- es, local school boards, First Na- tions and people with lived expe- rience. The task force has worked to develop a local opioid response plan to reduce the rates of opioid use, misuse, overdose and deaths in Durham Region. "It really is an excellent re- presentation of first responders, people who have access to their own data," Arnott said. From that task force, three subgroups were formed. One looks at real time over- dose data and surveillance; the second focuses on co-ordinating and enhancing local treatment services and harm reduction ser- vices; and the third addresses do- ing more education and aware- ness strategies to really address stigma and inform public and health care providers on the con- nection between mental health, trauma and substance use. "That's really in the hopes of trying to increase compassion as to why many people are resorting to use substances and to help break down barriers of stigma so people suffering substance abuse disorders are more interested in seeking help," said Arnott. McGary agreed that many people who misuse opioids have experienced trauma. "It may be childhood specific and it may be through sexual as- sault as they got older and so forth," he said. The most common are those who have experienced physical or sexual trauma and haven't re- ceived special care. "There's a very close associa- tion with (it) all," he said. Lakeridge focuses on treating multiple disorders, such as drug dependency and mental health. And it too is taking part in ad- dressing the issue, which McGa- ry referred to as an epidemic. "We have a lot of things on the go," said McGary, also the co- chair of the Central East LHIN Opioid Strategy Action Group. One project was opening a rap- id addiction medication access service. It's on a walk-in basis, and people can walk in and get started on medication on the spot. "We've seen just over 200 peo- ple. We opened on Jan. 30," said McGary. Ideally, clients go for four to six sessions. "Those 203 people so far have made 605 visits to the clinic," he said. People can also be referred by their family doctor or an ED (emergency department) doctor. Lakeridge has also launched a service providing fentanyl test kits. "To make things even better we don't require people to be cli- ents of our service," he said. They can just walk in and ask for it. "We're going to spend 10 min- utes with you and just give you some education on how to use it," he said. Lakeridge has also hired ad- diction counsellors to not only support the new clinics but also to provide better community withdrawal management sup- port. Lakeridge is also addressing over-prescribing. Canada is the second largest prescriber of opioids, with Ontario the biggest in Canada. McGary was part of a large ed- ucation session on prescriptions and over-prescribing opioids in June. He's had dental work a num- ber of times, said each time he came home with an absolute "boat load" of Percocets or Tyle- nol 3s. "Not only are dentists pre- scribing them, dentists are re- sponsible for a whole bunch of opioid starts," he said. Lakeridge is also leading the pack in being one of the very first in the province that started using Suboxone, a drug to treat opioid dependency. "People until now have only thought of Methadone as a safer alternative just to using street drugs," McGary said. He said it's cheaper, safer to administer, and clients don't have to do a urine test every day. "We're not done yet. We've got other stuff that we want to do," said McGary. According to statistics in the Durham report, the number of hospitalizations from an opioid overdose in Durham Region resi- dents increased from 59 to 82 in 2016. The number of deaths in- creased 2.5 times from 17 in 2005 to 41 deaths by 2016. In 2017, 24 per cent of Durham Region students (grades 7 to 12) reported that it was very easy or fairly easy to get prescription pain relief pills if they wanted them and nine per cent reported getting them most often from a parent or sibling. Perinatal exposure to opioids for pain management, or as a re- sult of misuse and abuse of pre- scription opioids or heroin, is as- sociated with adverse birth out- comes such as neonatal opioid withdrawal. Since 2002, the inci- dence of neonatal abstinence syn- drome (NAS) in Durham Region has increased. By 2016, there were 33 deliveries of infants with NAS.

At the last meeting be- fore summer break, coun- cil approved tender for the project to Road NEI Con- struction Corp., in the amount of $1,171,469.87 (HST included). The total gross project cost of $1,661,995 (HST in- cluded), including the ten- der amount and other asso- ciated costs, and the total net project cost of $1,496,678 (net of the HST rebate) was also approved. The next section, Eighth Concession to Ninth Con- cession, will be hard sur- faced next year, said Ward 3 Regional Coun. David Pick- les. The councillor got the ball rolling on this in 2014, with his motion to develop a plan to hard surface main roads in north Pickering. The resulting plan was ap- proved by Pickering council in 2016, and planning and de- sign prioritized Westney Road.

An investigation began when officers responded to a report of a multi-vehicle collision at the in- tersection of Stevenson and Ross- land roads at about 10:50 p.m. on July 23. An eastbound Mercedes struck two vehicles, causing ex- tensive damage to all the cars in- volved, Durham police said. The driver of the Mercedes walked away from the scene of the crash, police said. No serious injuries were reported. Officers found a man suspect- ed of being the driver in the back- yard of a home on Ferndale Street. Cops soon learned that shortly before the crash they were investigating, the same Mercedes had rear-ended a Mus- tang at King Street and Thornton Road. The Mercedes was driven away from the scene of that colli- sion, police said. The Mustang sustained minor damage. Adam Gardner, 22, of Whites Road in Pickering is charged with impaired driving and driving while exceeding the legal blood- alcohol level, two counts of fail- ing to remain at the scene of an accident, drug possession and trespassing by night.

Register a n d Get C o u p o n s FREE Ladies, may someone hear this and wake up: get a grip on yourselves! This clarion call was sparked by two news sto- ries involving women. The first had to do with the young woman caught on video assaulting a Tim Hortons employee and the other is of a little boy whose mother's ex-boy- friend has now been charged with his attempt- ed murder. Clearly, I don't know all the details surrounding these situations, but these two stories represent a growing reality. The first is that we've lost it, ladies. We've lost a sense of our identity, our purpose and perspective. We find ourselves in plac- es that we should never be, doing things we should never do. That's not who we are, but it's who we've allowed ourselves to become. We have scraped the barrel and our dignity is no- where to be found. We re- act and later have to pay the price. The bail for the accused in the Tim Hortons as- sault was $1,000. Was it worth it? We lose our- selves in the heat of the moment, in jealousy and rage, and for what? Woman, you were cre- ated to have a divine sense of purpose; to be in the right relationship with your creator and the right men and women. You were created to be part of the so- lution and to carry this wherever you go. You have a womb for a reason. Car- ry the right thing and thereby drive fear into anything that would dare cross you or your purpose! We are not meant to create problems, but somehow we have become vessels of insecurity and lack and instruments of comparison, gossip, back- biting and fighting each other. Come higher. Do better. Love yourself. The second story re- g arding the little boy is be- ing played out all over our region. Woman, was that rela- tionship worth it? Was re- lating with that question mark in your life worth jeopardizing your future? Why does your past still have a key to your pre- sent? You are the last line of defence for that child in your life. They are worth more than what you have given them and yourself. Unless you receive this to be true and begin to make deci- sions that lead to life, you will live like a slave (that's if you live at all) when you were called to be an heir of something greater. Wake up! Otherwise, you'll be- come a statistic when you were meant to be so much more. Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is passionate about truth in current affairs.

Denim Henderson, 25, made a brief court appearance in Osha- wa by video on Friday. His lawyer said at Henderson's next court appearance a date for a bail hearing will be discussed. Henderson appeared by video from the Central East Correc- tional Centre in Lindsay. A publication ban is in place and evidence can't be reported. He's been charged with sec- ond-degree murder, aggravated assault and assault causing bodi- ly harm in the death of Kaleb McKay. The incident happened on Dec. 29, 2016, when Durham re- gional police were called to an apartment on Robson Street in Oshawa for an unknown trouble call. Police found Kaleb wasn't breathing. Paramedics couldn't revive the child. Henderson and co-accused Jordan Brownell were arrested on Friday, July 6 following an ex- tensive police investigation. Brownell, 26, the mother of Kaleb, was initially charged with manslaughter. She was subse- quently also charged with failing to provide the necessities of life to a child under 16. On Thursday, July 12, Brow- nell was granted bail. She returns to court on Aug. 20.

The combination of a poor-quality diet and heavy training can lead to decreased immune function for some peo- ple. Longer endurance events, such as mara- thon, triathlon or cy- cling races, place signif- icant demand on the body and require atten- tion to ensure calorie and nutrient needs are met. Research has shown that low-calorie diets and low-fat diets may compromise muscle en- ergy stores and do not provide enough essen- tial nutrients, potential- ly leading to a compro- mised immune system. The diets of athletes should be balanced so that total calorie intake equals expenditure, and so that the carbohy- drates and fats used in exercise are replaced. Many athletes do not meet these guidelines and have low glycogen or fat stores, and do not take in sufficient vita- mins and minerals to support exercise perfor- mance, immune health and antioxidant de- fence. Either overtrain- ing or undernutrition may lead to an in- creased risk of infec- tions. Athletes are at risk for decreased immune function during periods of high intensity train- ing without adequate recovery time; when they are exercising un- der extreme environ- mental stress, includ- ing climate and alti- tude; when they are ex- posed to infections or viruses; and if they get inadequate sleep. Signs of decreased immune function in- clude recurring or pro- longed common infec- tions, such as upper re- spiratory infections, ear infections or gastro- intestinal infections, in- creased fatigue and in- ability to recover be- tween training ses- sions. A well-chosen diet meeting energy, carbo- hydrate, fat and vitamin and mineral require- ments is usually suffi- cient to maintain a healthy immune sys- tem. Include a source of whole grains, lean pro- tein and heart-healthy fats in each meal, along with fruits and vegeta- bles. Include foods high in vitamin C (strawber- ries, tomatoes, peppers, citrus fruit), dark green vegetables (spinach, kale, arugula, broccoli); consider adding beets to your diet, as there is some evidence they may decrease muscle oxygen demands and include foods rich in probiotics such as kefir and yo- gurt. If you are unsure if your diet is meeting your energy and nutri- ent requirements or if your immune function has decreased, talk to a registered dietitian about optimizing your nutrient intake. –Andrea Miller is a consulting registered dietician who emphasiz- es that healthy eating should be good, nourish- ing and delicious.

The 32-year-old profes- sional boxer from Ajax has been put through the ringer as he anticipated being part of the biggest event of his career - a pay-per-view bout on a card featuring heavy- weights Dillian Whyte and Joseph Parker July 28 at O2 Arena in England. Twice now Cook's oppo- nents have been forced to pull out of the event, includ- ing most recently over the weekend, just before Cook boarded a July 22 flight to London along with his pro- moter, Tyler Buxton. Kell Brook cited an ankle injury for withdrawing from the super welter- weight fight on July 13, and Sam Eggington suffered an eye injury sparring shortly after he was named as a re- placement on July 20. Cook, while obviously frustrated, is trying to make the most of the situa- tion, and continued on with the trip in order to see Lon- don for the first time, and try to iron out a future fight through Eddie Hearn, a well-known English boxing promoter who is putting on the event. "It's been a really tough couple of weeks, that's for sure, but I know it's not go- ing to be any tougher than this now, so hopefully ev- erything works out," Cook said by phone from England on Monday, July 23. "My name is out there now, so that's all that matters, and hopefully something good comes from it." Cook, who has a profes- sional record of 20-1 with 13 knockouts and is ranked 42nd in the world by boxrec- .com, has had his flight and hotel costs covered, and is hoping to recoup some oth- er expenses, including the $700 US he forked over to get a requested magnetic reso- nance imaging (MRI) scan of his brain two days before he left. While suspicious of the circumstances surround- ing Brook, aged 32 and ranked fifth in the world, Cook said he had less doubt about the injury sustained by Eggington, 24 and ranked ninth. "I can't see this guy pull- ing out because he's tough," Cook said of the English fighter, who improved to 23-4 with a four-round stop- page of Peter Kramer less than a month ago. "He al- ways comes to fight, he al- ways fights tough guys. He even texted me saying he's completely sorry." The biggest win of Cook's career came in Janu- ary 2017, when he beat fel- low Canadian Steven But- ler in Butler's hometown of Montreal, at the Bell Cen- tre. He has since suffered his first pro defeat, to Kanat Is- lam in Kazakhstan last Sep- tember, before easily han- dling Hector Carlos Santa- na and Miguel Angel Sua- rez at the Hersey Centre in Mississauga, site of 15 of his wins. Although now ranked 19 spots behind Butler, Cook is still hoping for another big breakthrough, and hopes to iron something out with Hearn this week - either for Sept. 8 at Birmingham Are- na or Sept. 22 at Wembley Stadium. "We'll talk to them and hopefully figure something out because this whole thing has been a joke," said Cook, who travelled with- out his fight team and will definitely not be added again to the July 28 card. "It was too tough to make it all work, but he gave us his word he would make some- thing happen in Septem- ber."

Photo supplied by Dunbarton High School NETANYA, ISRAEL - It went right to the wire, and perhaps a little beyond, but Canada couldn't quite de- fend its world field lacrosse championship on Saturday, July 21. A controversial last-sec- ond goal by Tom Schreiber lifted the United States to a 9-8 victory and the gold med- al at the 2018 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) Men's Lacrosse World Championship in Netanya, Israel. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise strong tournament for the Canadi- ans, who twice had two-goal leads in the game, and went up 8-7 on a tally by Oshawa's Mark Cockerton with 5:17 re- maining. But the Americans tied the game with 3:03 remain- ing and won it on Schreiber's goal as time expired, much to the dismay of the Canadian coaches and players who were convinced time should have run out. A discrepancy between the stadium clock, the one the coaches and play- ers were relying upon all game, and official game clock caused the confusion. "It is what it is," said head coach Randy Mearns after the game. "It felt to us like there was nine seconds on the clock, and the play start- ed and the clock didn't move for four seconds, and it went on and on. The U.S. took a shot and there was four sec- onds left and we were like, 'How is it not at zero?' ... It was chaotic down there. I don't know what else to tell you." To people that follow la- crosse, if you watch the video below, I'm not saying US La- crosse shouldn't have won the game, but if you're call- ing the clock based on the whis- tles....hmm?@BJ_Glash @Marisa_Ingemi @Lax- SportsNet pic.twitter.com/ IB118WvPL9- Chandler Mac- Kenzie (@chanmack21) July 22, 2018There were five play- ers from Durham Region on the Canadian roster, includ- ing Cockerton, who scored twice in the final and 13 times over the seven games, third most on the team. Mark Matthews, also of Oshawa, had a goal and as- sist in the championship game, finishing the tourna- ment with seven goals and 11 assists. Port Perry's Graeme Hos- sack was named to the all- world team on defence, while Oshawa's Matt Gilray also played on the back end. Whitby's Jason Weber was the third-string goalie on the team behind veterans Dillon Ward, the tourna- ment's top goaltender, and Brennan Donville. The game marked the sixth straight time the North American rivals have met in the final, with Canada win- ning the last tournament in Denver four years ago. The U.S. has now won 10 times, and Canada the other three. There was also a key off- side call made in the champi- onship game that Canada felt may have affected the outcome. After Cockerton had giv- en the Canadians the late lead, they won the ensuing faceoff, but the offside call during the clear gave the U.S. possession. Ryan Brown then tied the game with his third goal of the game and 25th of the tournament. "We didn't feel like we were offside," Mearns said in a press release. "That hap- pened with about three min- utes left. We were up a goal and we have the ball ... and we are pretty good at holding the ball." Canada ended up with a 5-2 record at the tourna- ment, having earlier lost 11- 10 to the U.S. Wins came by scores of 12-6 over England, 22-3 over Scotland, 10-5 over Iroquois Nation, 13-7 over Australia and 15-4 over Iro- quois Nation in the semifi- nal. Canada will have home field advantage at the next championship, four years down the road in Coquit- lam, B.C.
