Real Local Service. W hen it comes to the impending legaliza tion of m arijuana Oakville residents have no shortage of questions or diverging opinions. Oakville MP John Oliver and Canada' s for mer minister of health Jane Philpott found this out firsthand during a town hall meeting on the legalization and regulation of cannabis, which took place at the Operating Engineers Banquet Hall and Conference Centre Wednesday (Aug. 30). Philpott served as Minister of Health from Nov. 4, 2015 until Monday this week, when she became Minister of Indigenous Services. Around 100 people attended the town hall to ask questions about the government's plans for marijuana, which is expected to be legalized in Canada in early July 2018. The proposed Cannabis Act would allow those over the age of 18 to: · Possess up to 30 grams of legal dried can nabis or equivalent in non-dried form · Share up to 30 grams of legal cannabis with other adults · Purchase dried or fresh cannabis and canna bis oil from a provincially or federally licensed retailer · Grow up to four cannabis plants, up to a maximum height of 100 cm, per residence for personal use from licensed seed or seedlings · Make cannabis products, such as food or drinks, at home provided organic solvents are not used. Philpott said the government of Canada has chosen this coarse for two reasons. The first, she said, is the government believes legalization and strict regulation will keep mari juana out of the hands of youth.

Canadians among highest users Philpott said the proposed legislation ac knowledges the reality that Canadians are among the highest users of marijuana in the world and seeks to make that reality safer. "When young people do use cannabis they are buying it from people who are very likely associated with criminal organizations. They are buying products that are unregulated and they are buying products from people who might also be selling other substances, which are po tentially much more dangerous than cannabis," said Philpott. "We are taking a public health approach to this, which is something that maximizes educa tion and minimizes harm. There is very much a strong focus on education and some of that has already started." Philpott and Oliver heard a variety of ques tions concerning the legislation. Oakville Town Councillor Nick Hutchins asked questions about where the tax revenues from cannabis sales would be going and wheth er municipalities would be getting some of that money for things like infrastructure projects.

But, as a bonus, they received a financial reward for their efforts -- the Peter Gilgan Leadership Award, which recognizes out standing YMCA youth leaders who have made notable contributions to the Y and Oakville community. Funded through the Peter Gilgan Founda tion, five awards of up to $4,000 were pre sented to youth staff to assist with their post secondary education costs. In its seventh year, the leadership awards were handed out Tuesday, Aug. 22 at the Pe ter Gilgan YMCA of Oakville. Nikita Cadranel, Evan Lubanszky, Ryan Natividad, Caroline O'Brien and Michael Vanstone were this year's recipients. "The YMCA is a really strong developer of youths and that's because we offer very ethi cal, first hiring experiences. We give them a chance to have a great start to their working career," said Kyle Barber, YMCA of Oakville president and CEO. The Oakville Y received 17 award applica tions, which are getting "stronger and stron ger" every year, making the selection process more difficult, Barber said. "So many youths have so many different extracurricular activities. I'm amazed at the leadership capacities, the leadership (they demonstrate). There is just a different matu rity," said Barber. of youth and mentoring younger counsellors. The 19-year-old felt an "immense amount of gratitude" after being selected as a recipi ent, he said, since he has put a lot of effort into his role at the Y. "This award means more to me than just being a way to help further my education. I know the impact it's going to have on my family -- the people who have been help ing with my education my entire life," said Lubanszky. From his previous experience as a volun teer leader for Scouts Canada came a desire for Lubanszky to help more youth, and in 2015, he took the next step as a camp coun sellor with the YMCA of Oakville. "People that I've valued as mentors...I know I would not be nearly as successful if it wasn't for them. That's the thing I want to express and pass on to as many children as I can," said Lubanszky. Currently studying translational and mo lecular medicine in an undergrad program at the University of Ottawa, Lubanszky eventu ally wants to become an oncologist or a he matologist. Ryan Natividad After receiving a diploma in early child hood education in 2012, Natividad came to the YMCA looking for a position related to his study. He became a teacher in the before-andafter school program, but has since taken on a supervisory role, supporting various child care centres. "I wasn't expecting it at all.

Since joining the Y, the 24-year-old has taken on more responsibility, working with families to help their children succeed. The experiences you gain from working at the YMCA are "larger than life," Natividad said, which is why he got involved with the group. "Being a part of this field and this ex perience, giving exposure to myself, opened a lot of doors for me." This fall, Natividad is heading to the Uni versity of Guelph-Humber to acquire his bachelor of applied sciences in early child hood studies. "(The Y) is like a big family. I just wanted a second home and extended family, which is what I found at the Y," said O'Brien, on why she joined the group. O'Brien's dream is to become a high school teacher and will be attending Brock Univer sity this fall to obtain her bachelor of educa tion. After completing leadership camp to be come a counsellor, the 20-year-old' s skills quickly developed as Vanstone guided younger campers and fellow counsellors. He worked as a program co-ordinator at the Peter Gilgan Camp this summer. Cur rently a teacher education student at Brock University, Vanstone hopes to complete un dergraduate and post-graduate programs to continue working with youths in a educa tional capacity. "Working for the Y, I learned to love being in a leadership position. Working with kids and wanting to pursue teaching as a career is very similar to what I do at summer camp," said Vanstone.

Nikita Cadranel For the past seven years, Cadranel has held a variety of roles at the Oakville Y including as a membership services representative and program co-ordinator at Bronte Camp this summer. As summer camp co-ordinator, she devel oped innovative programming ideas based on the goals of the program, creating impact ful experiences for campers. As a team leader at Mother Teresa Elemen tary School in 2016, Cadranel built positive relationships with children, staff and parents. "(The Y) has helped me get hours for work and get the experiences in, as well as giving me opportunities I may not have had. It was really nice being given the opportunities," said Cadranel, 24. Next month, Cadranel enters her second academic year of teacher's college with a goal to inspire more children and youth to be leaders. N e e d h e lp w ith h o u s e -c le a n in g ?

She first learned the significance of com munity as a camper in the junior leadership program at YMCA Geneva Park. Following that, O'Brien became a camp counselor at the Oakville YMCA in 2014. "I really admire this organization and the work it achieves in the community. It feels really wonderful to be a part of it because I value it so much," said O'Brien.

Begins September 5th 2017, valid to December 31st 2017 www.insidehalton.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, Septem ber 1, 20 17 | 6 EDITORIAL | OPINION Slow down, pay extra attention when driving in school zones The last vestiges of an all-too-short summer are falling away. On Sept. 5, the doors to Oakville schools will be wide open and awaiting the arrival of elementary and high school students once more. The lead-up to back-to-school has begun in earnest across Halton. Moms and dads with their kids in tow are beginning to flood shopping plazas and local malls to en sure there are new clothes for their students as well as backpacks, pens, and pencils, and other necessities are purchased for the new school year. It's a familiar progression in the lead-up to school be ing back in session. For parents, it also means re-estab lishing the daily routine of getting their children to bed at a reasonable hour, up earlier in the mornings and either getting to the bus stop or giving them a ride to school before the bell rings. It's also a time to remind children to be mindful of the streets, as traffic ticks up with the start of the new school year. Unfortunately, each school year seems to bring about a spike in injuries -- even fatalities -- from ac cidents involving pedestrians. Safe Kids Canada reports that pedestrian injury is the third highest cause of injury-related death among Ca nadian children. Driving defensively and observing the rules of the road will help ensure everyone remains safe. We sincerely hope motorists in Halton show courtesy and patience on the road when school begins next week -- looking out for the safety of children and teens at crosswalks, signalled intersections and side streets across the region. Children can be unpredictable and may run out into traffic at any time. Watch carefully as you approach a school zone and be prepared for children to step on the road unexpectedly. The message is simply this: slow down and certainly pay extra attention when driving within school zones, so no parent has to experience having their child either killed or injured simply by attempting to get to school. Pedestrians need to remain alert and should dress to be seen. Wear light or brightly-coloured clothing or re flective material. In dark or bad weather, wear reflective material on clothes, coats and backpacks so you are more visible to drivers. Stop, look in all directions and listen for traffic before crossing safely when the road is clear. It is very important to remove headphones, and put away phones when crossing. Parents also have a responsibility to teach their chil dren the rules of traffic safety and school bus etiquette. Our wish for students across the region is a problemfree return to school, meeting new friends and teachers, and having a positive learning experience this year.

The CSJ program is a federal program that provides funding to help employ ers create summer job opportunities for students in their community, allowing them to gain the experience and skills they need to get their careers started. This summer, more than $600,000 in government funding helped Oakville North-Burlington employers hire 165 students through the CSJ program in a variety of fields, including health care, not-for-profit, law enforcement, engi neering, social services, the arts, en vironmental studies and education -- nearly double last year's numbers. Through the CSJ program, employers gain extra staff to improve productivity while students learn transferable skills such as time management and organiza tion, work experience, self-confi dence and enjoy a reliable income through paid summer employment.

"We do hear from many people who be lieve it would make sense to use revenues generated to fund public health campaigns and research campaigns," said Philpott. "There is a huge need for more research about not only the potential harms associ ated with cannabis, but the benefits associ ated with the cannabinoid part of cannabis." Other speakers voiced concerns about pesticides used by Health Canada on mari juana plants, while another resident called for the accommodation of "craft growers" who want to be legally allowed to grow more than four plants for the marketplace. Philpott said many craft growers are in the process of applying to become legally li cenced producers. "We fully expect that the number of li cenced producers will expand significantly and that there will be producers of all sizes, some large, some small similar to what you see in the beer industry," she said. Another resident voiced concerns that un der the proposed bill if an adult gives mari juana to a youth under the age of 18 that adult can receive up to 14 years in prison. One young woman commented that her Mississauga middle school was nicknamed "The Pharmacy" and said she believed legal ization would ultimately have no impact on who does drugs and who doesn't. "Young people who are going to go after cannabis or other substances are going to go after it whether it is legal or not. They will find it," she said. "The people who aren't going to buy it are still not going to buy it whether it is legal or not." records for its possession, but said the gov ernment should not be moving toward legal ization and regulation. Oliver noted decriminalization would not drive out the black market aspect to mari juana and would not result in the regulated production of marijuana in licenced centres so people actually know what they are get ting. Another resident voiced concerns about the potential health impacts the legalization of marijuana could have on Canada's youth. She noted more information is needed about the impacts of smoking marijuana particularly when it is known that the brain does not stop developing until a person reaches their mid-20s. The potential link between marijuana and the development of mental health issues is another area that she said needs to be looked at further. She also voiced concerns about marijuana being a gateway drug for some and noted with Canada in the middle of an opioid cri sis this could pose a real danger for young people. Philpott agreed more research is needed and said she hoped to find more opportuni ties for that work through the Canadian In stitutes of Health Research. She said concerns about cannabis being a gateway drug have been largely dismissed by research. Concerns raised Oliver and Philpott also heard from a number of residents who voiced concerns about the path the government is taking in this area. Oakville's former Conservative MP and chair of the public advocacy group Drug Safety Canada Terence Young called the idea that the legislation would keep money out of the hands of organized crime "ridiculous." He noted criminal gangs make huge amounts of money off marijuana sales in Canada and will not simply stop if the drug is legalized. Young added that despite legalization many people would still choose to buy mari juana from these sources. "Given the choice between going to a gov ernment-approved store to buy marijuana, where your boss might see you go in and out, and getting it from your friendly dealer who delivers it to you or your local pub 25 30 per cent cheaper -- many people are go Former Oakville councillor Sean Weir called for the decriminalization of cannabis at the meeting. | Riziero Vertolli/Metroland ing to take the second route," said Young. Young also argued that allowing people to have up to four marijuana plants in their homes would make marijuana use among young people more prevalent, not less. He is calling for this bill to be pulled from parliament and reworked. Consultation extensive: Oliver Oliver said there has been extensive con sultation with the Association of Chiefs of Police, the Canadian Police Association, the Canadian Bar Association and the Canadian Association of Police Governance concern ing the legislation.

COM www.insidehalton.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, Septem ber 1, 2 0 1 7 | 8 Couple w alking together to try to end ovarian cancer by Marta Marychuk Oakville Beaver Staff Barbara and John Fleming will be walk ing together at the Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope in Burlington/Oakville on Sunday, Sept. 10 to raise money and increase aware ness of the disease. "People are so unaware of this disease," says Barbara, a former nurse, who has be come an advocate after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer five years ago. "It is such a sneaky disease." The common symptoms of ovarian can cer include: increased or persistent abdomi nal bloating; difficulty eating or feeling full quickly; pain in the pelvis or abdominal ar eas; and urgency or frequency in urination. All women are at risk of developing ovar ian cancer and 2,800 women in Canada are diagnosed with the disease every year. There is no reliable screening test for ovarian can cer and no vaccine to prevent it. Women with a higher risk include: being over the age of 50; having a family history of certain types of cancer (ovarian, breast, endometrial and colorectal cancers); women of Ashkenazi Jewish descent; and having a genetic mutation associated with ovarian cancer. Barbara experienced back pain. "It just came up out of the blue," she recalls. She went to her doctor who did some test Barbara and John Fleming are hoping to raise funds and awareness in the Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope. | Nikki Wesley/Metroland ing and found that Barbara had fluid under her lungs. Subsequent testing revealed she had an advanced stage of ovarian cancer. Two days after experiencing symptoms, Barbara was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. That was on Valentine' s Day in 2012. The family was planning a vacation to Florida. Barbara and John remember the doctor telling them -- "You are not going anywhere." Barbara went through a surgery called debulking to remove all visible tumour, as well as chemotherapy. John, who has held senior leadership po sitions in government, including CAO of Hal ton Region, City Administer in Tondon, Ont., and Deputy Minister at the Province of Ontario (Community and Social Services, Correctional Services, Solicitor General and Environment), immediately called a contact at Ovarian Cancer Canada to offer his assis tance. John now volunteers as the chair of the Ovarian Cancer Board of Directors. "It' s an amazing organization (Ovarian Cancer Canada)," says Barbara, adding that the registered charity offers information, support and advocacy for women with the disease, and their families. The Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope is a very "powerful experience," adds John, as participants talk about their journey with cancer during the event. In December of 2105, Ovarian Cancer Canada launched the Tadyballs marketing campaign to increase awareness about the disease. Men don't have a problem talking about their reproductive organs, says John. It has been a game changer, according to Ovarian Cancer Canada.

"You know it' s always going to take you down," says Barbara, who had a recurrence of the disease three years ago. The husband and wife team offer support for one-and-other on this "journey" they have embarked on since Barbara was diag nosed. John also has health concerns after being diagnosed with melanoma. The Flemings say Oakville MP John Oli ver has also been a tremendous supporter for ovarian cancer, as well as Burlington Mayor Rick Goldring. Oliver, who participates in the Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope, also supported a pri vate member' s bill to prevent genetic discrim ination to protect employees from being re quired to undergo or to disclose the results of a genetic test, and provides employees with other protections related to genetic testing and test results. Unfortunately, survival rates for women with ovarian cancer have not improved in 50 years, with only 44 percent of women diag nosed with ovarian cancer living five years beyond their diagnosis, according to Ovarian Cancer Canada. The Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope, es tablished in 2002, raises money to support women and their families living with the dis ease and increase awareness among the gen eral public and health care professionals. The walk also raises money for detection techniques, improved treatments and ulti mately a cure. Since 2002, the walk has raised more than $23 million. This year, organizers are hop ing to raise $2.1 million. Walks are planned throughout the country, including 14 walks in Ontario. The Burlington/Oakville walk takes place in Nelson Park.

I have two adult children who had really difficult times finding work during their summer months of high school and university. I also have a 12-year-old who has yet to face that reality of trying to find work," said Oliver. "When I was knocking on doors two years ago the people I was finding at home most during the day were people like yourselves, students that weren't able to find work in that economy at that time. To know that 510 students are at work this summer -- get ting experience and making money -- that' s just a great outcome for this program." Oliver took a moment to thank the employers who created the positions for the youths noting that without their work this positive outcome would not have happened. He also pointed out that the funding that went into the program was money that was well spent. "As a Canadian I know that Canada' s future prosperity depends on you, on young people today getting the education, getting the experiences you are having this summer that is going to lead you to full employment as adults," said Oliver. "Everyone should have a fair opportunity for a good job in Canada." 2017. Each year the government invests $330 million into that strategy. He also said Ontario' s economic growth is currently among the highest found among G7 countries. "The jobs are there now. The jobs are opening up," said Oliver. "For those of you who are about to graduate or are going into your last years of study, keep an eye on the job market because I believe there is going to be work for you when you come out." More funds for Youth Employment Strategy Those present also heard from Oakville Mayor Rob Bur Oliver noted the Liberal government has made putting young ton who said council applauds the federal government and people to work a priority and has committed an additional $395 the town' s local representatives for their continued support million over three years to its Youth Employment Strategy starting of the Canada Summer Jobs Program.

Every dog in Oakville is required to have a dog licence and our job is to make sure everyone is on top of that and following this bylaw," said Isaxell.

The Oakville Soccer Club employed four students this summer. According to David Harris, executive director of the club, they simply could not do the large number of things they accomplished this summer without them. "Each summer we have more than 19,000 registrations as the largest soccer club in North America, so having additional staff to manage that and the programming means so much to us," he said. "Our CSJ students are a vital part of our or ganization. Without them we wouldn't have nearly as much of a community presence." Emma Manjialardi, one of the Oakville Soccer Club's summer employees, is a stu dent at chiropractic school and grew up playing at the club. "I want to give kids the same experience I had, and the experience of working here in marketing has been invalu able," she said. During a visit to another CSJ work site, Xiris Automation Inc., I was pleased to hear that summer student Leigh was doing an ex cellent job technical writing for the innova tive company that develops optical systems for quality control from its headquarters in Burlington. "Ensuring our technical writing documen tation is up to date and well written means we can better serve our customers and enter new markets," said Leigh's supervisor Alex. And Leigh found the experience of learn ing from a team of professional engineers a definite asset to his education and experi ence. I know how valuable it is for students to have access to paid employment during the summer months, particularly in the fields that match their career goals. I look forward to expanding the CSJ program next summer and pairing more students with local employ ers to gain experience and confidence as they prepare for the future.

The 16-year-old, who dances with the Oakville School of Classical Ballet, will be one of 54 dancers in the competition from across the world. "I was very excited," says Camille, after learning she had scored top marks on her last ballet exam. Her marks were submitted for the ballet compe tition and Camille was selected to participate. "It's going to be nice," she adds. The Genee International Bal let Competition, which is one of the most prestigious ballet competitions in the world, is held from Sept. 7-16. Candidates between the ages of 15 and 19 receive a unique opportunity to work with re nowned choreographers and teachers for five days before performing at the semi-finals, and then the final, where they compete for a range of medals. Applicants must be current members of the Royal Academy of Dance. Camille, who attends St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School, has been dancing for eight years. As a child, Camille says she was "really excitable" so her mother enrolled her in dance classes as a way to chan nel the energy. To prepare for the competi tion, Camille trains two hours every day from Monday to Fri day doing classical ballet, Pilates and contemporary dance. After the Genee International Ballet Competition, Camille is hoping to secure an apprentice ship with a ballet company in North America or Europe. Oakville School of Classical Ballet student Camille Rene-Waterhouse, 16, will be heading to Portugal on Sept. 6 to compete in the International Genne Ballet Competition. | Nikki Wesley/Metroland Kevin Nagel, Oakville Beaver Sports Editor, sports@oakvillebeaver.com S p o rts "C o n n e c t e d t o y o u r C o m m u n i t y " CD t-- ' CL T3 Ul m LU § 00 LU The Oakville Crusaders won the Rugby Ontario girls' under-18 championship, beating the Oshawa Vikings 48-5 in the gold-medal game.

Bruises from the Toronto Rugby Union girls' under-18 championship game against the Oshawa Vikings two days earlier were still visible, but the biggest wound inflict ed couldn't be seen. Oakville had built a 17-point halftime lead against the Vikings, but it all unraveled in the second half as Oshawa took the league title with a 50-34 victory. "They dominated us in the second half," said Crusaders coach Peter Black. Now the teams were set to square off again for the Rugby Ontario Junior Cup. When halftime rolled around, the Cru saders found themselves in the exact same position, leading 22-5. "They knew they had to play the entire game and not give away the lead like they did before," Black said. "Our girls under stood how important it was to keep pos session against them and win those indi vidual battles." Those lessons paid off as the Crusaders refused to give the Vikings an opportu nity to mount another comeback. Instead, Oakville put a large exclamation mark on their provincial title by scoring 26 unan swered points for a 48-5 victory. "Everything we had been working on all year, it just clicked with them," Black said. The Crusaders finished third in the fiveteam Toronto Rugby Union West Division, but played most of the year without Bridg et Peros, Taylor Black and Idia Ihensekhien who were playing with the Canadian under-18 team. And, though they were back for the Crusaders final games, several players missed provincials after returning to school. Despite having players taking on new roles, the Crusaders didn't miss a beat. "We were missing a few of our regular players and girls came in, stepped into those positions and stepped up immense ly," Black said. "It was a complete team ef fort." Nowhere was that more evident than in the Crusaders' defensive play. Oakville shut out Fergus 36-0 in the provincial semifinal, finishing the weekend allowing only one try. "Our defence was spectacular," Black said. Buzz hope to bring their A gam e with proposal to OLA for reclassification By Herb Garbutt Oakville Beaver staff After watching the top homegrown talent leave town, the Oakville Buzz is hoping to give those play ers a team of their own. The local Jr. B lacrosse team is working on a proposal to become the 12 th team in the Ontario La crosse Association' s Jr. A league. "It' s been in discussion for a while," said team president Sam Rook. "A lot of Oakville players are being drafted by Jr. A. We have one of the strongest minor associations, not only in quality, but in depth. We're losing our best midget play ers every year." An Oakville player has been se lected in the top 10 picks in the Jr. A draft in each of the last eight years. Most recently, Jonathan Donville went first overall in 2015 and Matt Sykes was taken ninth in 2016, both by Mimico, and Josh Dawick was picked second overall by To ronto in this year' s draft. Moving to Jr. A would allow Oakville to protect players from its minor system. "We feel that players that have grown up playing in Oakville should be playing in Oakville (in junior)," Rook said. "You play at home and it brings a lot of pride. It gives the kids something to strive for." The Buzz will make a presenta tion to a group of three Jr. A gover nors in mid-September. That group will then make a recommendation to the full board in late October or early November. Acceptance into the Jr. A ranks requires 10 of the 11 votes of the full board. The Buzz had a long-time af filiation with the Jr. A Burlington Chiefs, but that was ended prior to this season. Burlington affiliated with Hamilton while the Buzz was without a Jr. A affiliate. "That worked for a long time and we had a good relationship," Rook said of the affiliation with the Chiefs, "but they understand our reasoning (for wanting to move to Jr. A)." There were seven Oakville na tives on the Chiefs this season but Rook believes the two teams could co-exist. "We don't want to come in at the expense of another team," he said. He said the proximity of the two teams would create a natural ri valry. "Burlington and Oakville in the (Ontario Junior Hockey League) have a really good rivalry," he said. "We hope that we would have that same kind of thing." Rook said by Jr. A bylaws, Oakville could not make the move until the 2019 season, although he said the team could be ready for next season. Another condition states that Oakville could not have a Jr. B team if the Buzz moves to Jr. A. "The Jr. C team would stay in Oakville and be a very important part of our development system," Rook said, "but we would have to actively search out a Jr. B team to be our affiliate." Rook said the budget would not increase significantly because of the reduced travel. In Jr. B, the Buzz have an overnight trip every season to play the Ottawa-area teams. The Buzz would continue to play out of Joshua' s Creek Arenas. The Buzz began play in 2001 and have 15 consecutive winning seasons in Jr. B. Oakville won the Founders Cup, the national Jr. B championship, in 2006. Roughnecks, Rock win Jr. NLL titles Walker Stevenson broke a 5-5 tie with 4:44 to play and teammate Marshall Bloomfield added an insur ance goal as the Roughnecks edged the Rock in the midget final of Rock Elite League Jr. NLL Tournament. Bloomfield scored twice and Na than Lam, Jacob Sieppert, Brydon Robichaud and Nolan Oakley had the other Roughneck goals. Curtis Goddard scored twice for the Rock with singles going to Bryce Cordingley, Chris Dong and Jayden Smith. Bloomfield led all scorers in the midget division with 15 goals and eight assists in six games. Trey Sacus of the Black Wolves had 12 goals and 20 points in six games. Will Sheehan had a hat trick and Alex Marinier and Ethan Gomes each scored twice as the Rock won the bantam final 13-4 over the Stealth. Brian Jackman had a goal and four assists and Jake Dawick scored and set up three more. Alex Roussel, Cam Sanderson, Jack Macalpine and Gavin Thibeault had the Rock' s other goals. Zack Richards made 14 saves for the win. Caden Peters, Jordan Vincent, Jaxon Anderson and Silas Rich mond scored for the Stealth. Dawick was the leading scorer in the bantam division with 11 goals and 20 assists in six games, followed by Roussel with 10 goals and 10 as sists.

Ontario was perfect in roundrobin play but had to settle for bronze after losing both its medalround games. Ontario steamrolled through the round-robin, outscoring its oppo nents 58-13 on its way to a 9-0 re cord. Ontario had not even trailed until its final round-robin game, when it rallied to score a run in each of the last two innings to edge the host Manitoba 6-5. Benn scored the winning run in that game, leading off the bottom of the seventh with a base hit and coming around to score on a twoout single. After scoring at least four runs in each of its games, Ontario was held to just four hits in a 3-1 loss to B.C, which earned a spot in the goldmedal game with the win. Ontario's had nine hits against Al berta in its second chance to reach the final but couldn't push runners across the plate in a 7-1 loss. Benn, who played left field, shortstop and first base, batted .347 for the tournament (8-for-23) with a double and a triple, scored eight runs and drove in three. Rivait, a catcher, hit .278 (5-for-18) and scored two runs. A story in the Thursday, Aug. 31 edition incorrectly stated Ontario' s final standing in the tournament. The Oakville Beaver regrets the er ror. The Swarm's Reed Allen leaps as he tries to put a shot over the shoulder of Rush goalie Shane Friesen.
