An employee was assaulted in one of the heists, at a Whitby gas bar, while bandits fled with cash following a second incident in Pickering, Durham police said. The first incident occurred at about 11:20 p.m. Sunday when a female clerk at an Esso station on Brock Street North in Whitby was thrown to the floor and held by a man at gunpoint while an accomplice grabbed cash and lottery tickets. The worker wasn’t seriously hurt and the suspects, one white and one black, fled. They’re described as being in their teens or early 20s. In the second incident, two masked men, one armed with a handgun, held up a Bayly Street Husky station at about 4:45 a.m. The suspects, described as two black men in their late teens, fled the scene on foot. Police are still trying to determine if the same suspects were involved in both inci- dents. police Pickering, Whitby gas stations robbed overnight PICKERING -- A taxi driver was roughed up and robbed by three passengers Friday night in Pickering. Durham police are trying to identify the sus- pects, believed to be in their teens or early 20s. A cab driver picked them up at the Pickering Town Centre at about 8:30 p.m. Friday and took them to St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, near Whites Road and Finch Avenue. When the 54-year-old driver pulled behind the school as instructed he was grabbed and held by a suspect in the back seat, while an accom- plice in the front seat repeatedly punched him in the head and face, police said. The suspects fled with the victim’s wallet and cellphone. They’re described as black youths, ranging in age from 16 to 20. crime Taxi driver beaten, robbed in Pickering Seven charged with public sex acts in Durham WHITBY -- An HIV-positive Oshawa man has been charged with sexual assault for failing to disclose his condition to a partner, one of the charges laid after police investigat- ed complaints of sexual activity in a south Whitby conservation area. Seven men have been charged with sex- related offences as a result of the crack- down, which occurred after Durham police received complaints about sex acts being committed at the Lynde Shores Conserva- tion Area. It’s believed the secluded site was iden- tified online as a place for sexual liaisons, police said. Cops patrolling the area charged seven men, most of them aged 49 to 71, for committing an indecent act after they were observed either exposing themselves or participating in sex acts. The Oshawa man, 62, was charged with sexual assault after he admitted to cops he’s HIV-positive, but did not advise a man he was with of that. Another man was charged with obstruct- ing police for allegedly telling others police were in the area. Several people were charged with trespassing. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 31, 20114 AP In May of 2006, The Regional Municipality of York completed a Schedule C ClassEnvironmental Assessment (Class EA) to identify road improvement alternatives forYorkDurhamLine(YorkRR#30).

Kathy Pasveer Shiloh, Manitoba ParkinG FinE Sense of entitlement regarding ticket To the editor: Re: ‘Safety issue or cash grab?’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, Aug. 18, 2011. While I can sympathize with the letter writ- er about the frustration of getting a parking ticket, I have to take exception with her atti- tude of entitlement. She seems to think that paying a certain amount in property taxes exempts her broth- er from the bylaw prohibiting vehicles from blocking sidewalks. She then goes on to state with near certain- ty that his car wasn’t impeding any pedestri- ans. How does she know? Was she watching the sidewalk? How would she feel, for instance, if she was bound to a wheelchair or a walker and couldn’t pass the blocking vehicle? She apparently thinks it’s an absolute right for her brother to park anywhere he pleas- es, but that pedestrians have no right to an unobstructed sidewalk. This is another display of the selfish entitle- ment that has become rampant in society. No one is ever to be personally blamed for anything and it’s always someone else’s fault. My advice is to take the ticket as a lesson and learn from it. Todd Hughes Oshawa *** To the editor: Re: ‘Safety issue or cash grab?’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, Aug. 18, 2011. I live on a closed end court where park- ing is always an issue. I believe the problem described by the letter writer is due simply to ignorance and selfishness of the parties involved, plus a very large dose of, “Hey but it’s me.” Well meaning I am sure, but such folks sim- ply don’t realize that even if they think they are “only going to be a minute”, they are still either breaking the law or trespassing. I get this all the time -- people block my driveway because its convenient for them to deliver, wait for a friend, etc. They don’t seem to understand the concept of private property or public property either. I say more power to the ticket givers. I would like to see them more often on my street. The letter writer’s short-term visitor should have had enough common sense to obey the law.

So much so, that when staff at Distress Centre Durham are training new volunteers, they go around the room and make people practise asking, “Are you thinking about sui- cide?” According to the centre’s help line statis- tics, about 1,000 people in Durham Region will think about it this year; at least, that’s the number of people who will pick up the phone and call the Distress Centre to talk about it. Earlier this month, the tragedy of suicide made widespread headlines when Mike Flanagan, once a World Series-winning pitcher with the Baltimore Orioles and then part of the team’s staff, shot himself at age 59, stunning friends, colleagues and fans. Suicide carries a special burden of pain for friends and family left behind to make sense of the senseless. Donna McQuade knows; she started the Walk for Suicide Awareness in Durham Region in 2000, after her hus- band took his own life. “Part of suicide awareness is being aware of the survivors left behind and what they’re going through,” Ms. McQuade says. “You feel so alone, like you’re the only one this has happened to. When you tell people, they give you the deer-in-the-headlights look and change the subject.” This year, the centre will host the seventh annual Walk for Suicide Awareness on Sept. 10, World Suicide Prevention Day. Last year’s event drew about 100 people and raised nearly $12,000 for Distress Centre Durham programs. The five-kilometre walk starts and ends at Heydenshore Pavilion in Whitby and includes a barbecue lunch and a remem- brance ceremony that sees people write messages on helium balloons and release them in memory of loved ones lost to sui- cide. Distress Centre Durham notes that most people considering suicide don’t want to die, but want to end their own pain. Warning signs can include depression, loss of inter- est in personal hygiene, giving away posses- sions, changes in sleeping or eating habits, increased substance use and marked chang- es in personality or behaviour. The centre says people should not hesitate to be direct, asking questions such as whether the person is thinking of suicide and whether they’ve tried it before. The belief and stigma that talking about it is more likely to encourage someone to try it is untrue, Distress Centre staff say. Education, discussion and the willingness to shine understanding and support on the topic will help remove the stigma surround- ing it and may also encourage those who are struggling to reach out for help. Distress Centre Durham and walk organiz- ers are doing an important job. In a perfect world, no one would feel driv- en to this painful and hopeless act, a perma- nent solution to what is often a temporary problem. -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group After a number of years away from each other, I’ve reacquainted myself with an old flame: scuba diving. Thanks to a recently certified friend nudging me back into the sport to be his dive buddy, I’ve decided to go underwater again. I started diving back in 1982 and had, over the years, done a good deal of it. I even had a lot of my own gear. Looking back, I’m not really sure why I stopped. Part of it may have been the arrival of my children, but kids never really slow you down unless you want them to. I remember snorkeling a reef off the coast of Turks and Caicos with my wife. We took turns, one of us staying in the boat with the kids while the other was underwater with the other divers. We got to see some cool marine life and the boys had a ball riding in a dive boat. So it can be done. I just think that as with a lot of other things in this life, if you’re not vigilant and actively engaged in activities that keep you sharp and enthused about getting up in the morning, it’s easy to slip into neu- tral and start coasting. Diving is a little like riding a bike. And the old adage does apply to a degree... a lot of it comes back to you even if you’ve been away for awhile. The analogy however, runs a little thin once you descend below the surface. Fall off your bike underwater and you can die. For that reason I thought it might be prudent to take a refresher course before heading out on any dives of my own. And I’m glad I did. Like most technologies these days, dive tech has moved at light speed. A few minutes spent chatting with my instructors had me feeling like my last dive might have been made with Jules Verne. I hauled out my equipment and there was much eye rolling and shaking of heads. One of them slipped into the office to notify the Antiques Road Show. OK, OK, I get it. I might need to update things a bit. I guess nobody dives with the round steel helmet anymore. Sheesh. Fortunately, one of the things that never changes about diving is the people. Div- ing seems to attract a very laid-back, easy- going kind of clientele. One does occasionally bump into the odd idiot, but luckily, thanks to under- water mishaps, general stupidity and the presence of large predatory marine life, these people don’t tend to hang around long. I remember a dive holiday in Curacao where, after our dive master had made it explicitly clear that we were not, under any circumstances, to touch any of the reef or marine plant life on the bottom, watching some bone-head climb back into the boat with an arm-load of freshly cleaved brain coral. The DM tore him a new one...right through his wet suit. But as I say, most people who dive are good eggs, and I’ve never met an instruc- tor or dive master who wasn’t thrilled to meet somebody new to the sport. To that end, yesterday, I spent a most enjoyable afternoon in the pool with some terrific teachers, gently easing me back into something I love to do. In fact, I discovered that for me, diving is a lot like sex. Whenever I do it I always ask myself why I don’t do it more often. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. durhamregion.com7 AP News Advertiser • August 31, 2011NEIL CRONE Taking a loving plunge back into scuba diving HOT TOPICS: ‘A proposal for an eco-burial cemetery is creating controversy in Ajax, so we took a look at Ontario’s only eco burial site...’ Visit us at http://newsdurhamregion.com/news/ajax/ article/183366 Join us on Facebook today!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Incinerator is still a burning Durham issue Editor’s note: Due to the volume of let- ters received regarding the recent ground- breaking of the energy-from-waste incin- erator in east Durham, following are excerpts from reader letters. For complete version, click on the ‘Opinion’ tab at dur- hamregion.com To the editor: Re: ‘A done deal and a healthy democra- cy in Durham’, editorial opinion, durham- region.com, Aug. 19, 2011. It was a done deal in 2005. We just didn’t know it yet. Ever since the vote to proceed with an environmental assessment study with skewed terms of reference, This Week scrutinized the project with all the skep- ticism of an airhead cheerleader, spout- ing headlines taken straight from industry talking points (cue the pom-poms). Louis Bertrand Bowmanville *** ...Elected representatives have a scope of responsibility that is broader than that of interest groups with focused concerns. While a dedicated group demanding checks and balances around the incinerator is praiseworthy, inflammatory rhetoric targeting politicians will not get the mandate accomplished. In an ideal world there would be zero waste. As we are all contributors to the volume of garbage bound for that incinerator, let’s continue demanding accountability... Ulrike Fliesser Newtonville *** ... Who, other than non-elected politi- cians, can be pleased by this? Even our own mayor is afraid to do the right thing, the one thing he promised, and the one thing that secured my vote. Sigh... Bill Calder Courtice *** ...Our family was aghast and offended by this editorial, but not surprised since the Metroland Media Group Limited’s Durham Division has proclaimed it has “long been a supporter of the incinerator project”. Democracy is not alive and well in Dur- ham on this issue. In fact, it’s barely on life support. This incinerator is not a done deal. Durham Region council can opt to break the contract with Covanta and they should. Even with the substantial finan- cial penalties Durham Region could still save money pursuing safer, sustainable waste management solutions. Doug Simpson Courtice durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 31, 20118 P “The 3T is faster than older MRIs so we can get the procedure done in about 20 minutes, instead of one hour. Because it’s faster we’re able to do more MRIs and through that we hope to reduce wait times from 120 days to 30 days. The other thing is the image is much better and clearer.” For Dr. Stas, having the “Ferrari of MRIs” at Ajax Pickering Hospital is a boon for patients. “For the people of Durham, it means we’ll be able to provide the fastest and most accurate diagnosis and treatment that anyone can provide anywhere in the country. And we can do that right here in Durham. It’s fantastic, it’s hard to believe we’ve raised all this money but every- body was involved and I think that really shows community spirit and that’s what it’s all about.” The Image is Everything campaign has raised more than $4 million since it began just more than one year ago. With $1 mil- lion left to raise, campaign workers were more than happy to celebrate the arrival of the MRI, which will be up and running by the end of September. “It’s very rewarding to see everyone’s efforts paying off,” said Lucy Stocco, chairwoman of the campaign. “There was, and is, huge support from the community in terms of bringing an MRI here. It has been a very successful and memorable campaign, and the best part is that we’ll have an operational MRI at the end of September.” Many of those community supporters were on hand, including mayors from both Pickering and Ajax. Both commu- nities contributed $500,000 to the cam- paign. “It’s very exciting and long overdue,” said Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, who arrived at the hospital after hosting a separate welcome event at the Pickering Recreation Complex. “This is a diagnostic tool that’s been lacking in the community and it’s some- thing that we’ve recognized a need for for many years. This is a great day.” Ajax Mayor Steve Parish had personal experience with the lack of an MRI in the area. “Last time I had an MRI I had to go to Mount Sinai in Toronto,” he explained. “That’s not a huge deal, but now I can go one kilometre to get one done. It’s so much more welcoming and efficient. People need to be close to their family and their support systems, I think there’s nothing like having high-level care close to home.” Residents were also eager to welcome the new equipment to their community hospital. “This is a big deal, especially for the lit- tle hospital that grew,” said Ajax resident Heather Tighe, who was watching the scene from a lawnchair along with her husband Bill. The couple has donated to the hospital regularly over the years. “We just wanted to come out and sup- port this,” Mr. Tighe added. Resident Harold Hutchinson, whose wife is a volunteer at the hospital, was also on hand to witness the event. “By all means, we need an MRI here in Ajax, so we’ve been supporting the cam- paign all along,” he said. “I think it’s great and there was no way I was going to miss this. I wanted to be here to see it go in.” Construction crews removed a section of the hospital’s outer wall to allow for the installation of the magnet in the new MRI suite.

THE END OF HIGH SCHOOL MEANS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW JOURNEY FOR ONE DURHAM STUDENT KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com This is the third in a series of four stories looking at Durham students making the transition from high school to university. DURHAM -- It’s almost time for Kelly Gibson to head off to university. Kelly’s been taking advantage of her sum- mer at home before she leaves her family and friends in Whitby to start post-secondary school at the University of Western Ontario in London. “I’m not going to be home again until Thanksgiving, so I’m thinking that’s going to be a long time to be away from my friends and family,” she said. After a vacation with her parents and sister Mandy on the east coast, she let This Week tag along with her when she did what thou- sands of students starting university this fall are doing: shopping for her new dorm room. Kelly and her mother, Henny Gibson, tack- led the Walmart at Taunton and Harmony roads in Oshawa, with a list of items on Kel- ly’s iPhone. Thinking of what to buy for residence can be quite a challenge, and Ms. Gibson is almost certain they forgot some things. “We got quite a bit of stuff,” said her mother. “We’re going to have to come back for some more things.” Kelly’s laundry, eating, sleeping and basic living have all been done in the comfort of her family’s home. So she and her mom put their heads together and decided what to buy. They went to multiple university web- sites to see what each suggested. Waterloo University, for example, has the items in categories such as school supplies; clothing and laundry; bath and grooming; bedding and decoration and appliances and electronics. Waterloo also provides a list of what not to bring, such as candles and pets. They tried to think “small” rather than “big” due to the size of the dorm, Ms. Gibson said. They also got some tips from Kelly’s boy- friend, who is going into his second year of university at Western, and went through the experience himself a year ago. Felicia Fefer, Walmart Canada public rela- tions manager, said in an e-mail the three things that college and university stu- dents don’t have a lot of are time, space and money. She suggested, since dorm rooms are very small, students should look for compact and collapsible items that don’t require renting a truck or van. “These items can add flare but can fit into your car,” she said. “These same items are great for having guests over.” She said folding chairs are handy since they can be stored under a bed or in a closet and can easily be taken out when friends come over. Buy multi-purpose items, she said, such as an ottoman that can be used as a bedside table, storage, table, additional seating and a footrest. Ms. Fefer also suggested using colour to per- sonalize dorm rooms as it’s easy and afford- able. “Look for decor items that are available in bold colours and patterns,” she said. “Focus on high-impact items that can change a room instantly and affordably. These include bed- ding, pillows, rugs and accessories. Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns, colours and textures.” Kelly decided to pick up the basics, and got items such as a kettle, laundry basket, bed- ding and storage containers. When the an-hour-and-a-half shopping adventure was complete, Kelly started get- ting excited about her future home away from home. “Now I can kind of picture what it’s going to be like, what it’s going to look like,” she said. To Ms. Gibson, the shopping trip once again reminded her of the change that’s about to occur in her family’s life. “It’s more real as time gets closer,” she said. Kelly plans to find camaraderie from her future dorm mates, many of whom will also be in the same boat of being away from home for the first time. “It’ll sort of be easier talking to them about missing families and friends,” she said. In the meantime, she’s mentally preparing herself, and “trying to keep an open mind because I know it’s not always going to go my way.” Ms. Gibson plans to cherish the time she has left with Kelly before she takes the big step. “It’s going to be different but it will be more real when we’re actually there dropping her off,” she said.

As part of the library’s bicenten- nial celebrations, the Local His- tory Room at the Central Library is playing host to the ‘200 Years of Pickering Families’ display. The project, which kicked off at the beginning of the year, will con- tinue with a display dedicated to the contributions of the Bhatia fam- ily. Ashok and Shashi Bhatia were the first members of their family to immigrate to Canada in the late 1970s. Since then they have both worked tirelessly to promote mul- ticulturalism in the community through efforts such as the found- ing of the Indo-Canadian Cultural Association of Durham. The 200 Years of Pickering Fami- lies project will continue through- out the year and feature month- ly displays highlighting different Pickering families and their contri- butions to the community. The displays offer a unique oppor- tunity to view artifacts and docu- ments that have never been on dis- play before and learn more about Pickering’s history as the city marks 200 years.

The Ontario Public Service Employees Union has filed notice with the College Employer Council that the sup- port workers at 24 of the colleges across Ontario will strike unless a contract settlement is reached before the start of September. The union represents administrative staff, IT special- ists, maintenance workers and others working at the community colleges across Ontario. They’ll be in a legal position to walk out at 12:01 a.m. Sept. 1 if talks between both sides do not produce an agreement. The main issues for the union include job security, benefits and wages. Rod Bemister, chairman of the bargaining team for the support workers, said in a press release little prog- ress is being made at the bargaining table. The two sides have scheduled three days of negotia- tions beginning Aug. 29. Durham College is preparing students for the possi- bility of strike on its website. Although classes will run as scheduled, students could experience longer than normal wait times for a number of services traditionally accessed at the start of the school year. Durham College encourages students to take care of a number of issues before September to be safe, such as registering for classes, making tuition payments, get- ting their campus identification cards, renting lockers and signing up for meal plans.

I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life,” said Ajax native Mike Lum-Walker, two days after the Warriors clinched the national champi- onship with a 12-7 win in Game 3 over the defending champion Coquitlam Adanacs. “We were the underdogs right from the start, so to see the score, a five-goal difference, we knew we went there to win the Cup and we did it.” The win gave Whitby its first Minto Cup since 1999 and Lum-Walker, a tough, hard-nosed defender, played a big part in their run. “Lummy is just a real physical presence and a good locker room guy, just real positive all the time,” said Warriors head coach Derek Keenan. “I love the physical presence that he brings. He hits extremely hard and he’s an intimidating factor out there.” After losing the series opener last Friday, 12-9, Lum-Walker and his defensive team- mates were at their best -- along with goalie Zach Higgins -- in the second game of the best- of-three final, as they limited the high-power Adanacs offence to just four goals in a 5-4 vic- tory to force the decisive Game 3. Armed with that momentum, and the knowl- edge that he and his teammates have had a knack all playoffs for stepping up when the games matter most, the Warriors were able to open things up and take control in Game 3 to cap a championship. “I think as a whole we always have slow starts when it comes to a series. We lost (Game 1) to Six Nations, we lost (Game 1) to Orangeville,” said Lum-Walker, referring to the Ontario semifinal and final series. “It’s just the way our team is sometimes. Losing the first game, we knew we could always bounce back. So having the confidence and knowing what we needed to do to win is the big reason we were able to bounce back.” Another key during Whitby’s run to the championship was Pickering’s Ryan Serville. It was an up and down season for the 90-plus point scorer in junior B. Serville missed all but five regular season games as he recovered from surgery, and when he did get into the lineup, points were tough to come by. Come playoff time he started to come around, as evidenced by his 9-20-29 totals in 15 games. The one game he missed was a stinger though. Keenan opted to sit Serville out in Game 7 of the Ontario final against Orange- ville. “It was a tough call. It was. We brought in a junior B kid in Stef Diachenko who played very well for us that night,” Keenan said in looking back. “At the time it was the right call, but I said to (Serville) if we win, you’re right back into the lineup when we get out west. That was what we did and he performed.” Serville finished the Minto Cup with 13 points, including seven goals, none bigger than the two he potted in the championship clinching game. “One stopped their run in the second peri- od and then he got the 10-7 goal in the third, which really kind of put them on their heels and pretty much put it away,” Keenan said. “He was big for us. He got to the dirty areas. He’s a big body and was hard to handle and that’s what we needed him to do.” While the Warriors graduate a half dozen key players from this team -- Mark Matthews, Shayne Jackson, Adrian Sorichetti, Nick Dia- chenko, Higgins and captain John LaFon- taine -- a host of others, including Serville and Lum-Walker will be back for a shot at a repeat, this times as hosts of the tournament. “That is something we’re taking about. We were joking about it on the plane. We defi- nitely want that to happen,” said Lum-Walk- er. “We have a lot of 91’s that will be graduat- ing next year, so hosting it is definitely amaz- ing and having the opportunity to do it again. We’re definitely going to have to be working hard to make sure we can do it.” ron Pietroniro / MetroLand WHITBY -- Mike Lum-Walker, left, and Ryan Serville, pose with the Minto Cup after the Whitby Warriors arrived home with the national championship trophy Monday night. GoLf Pickering’s connor Pestell golden in ottawa PICKERING -- Pickering resident Con- nor Pestell has struck gold. The nine-year-old golfer travelled to Ottawa to compete in the Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) tourna- ment held at the Loch March Golf Club. The golf course was in great shape but soggy from the previous day’s rain and played very long for the competitors. Pes- tell played great golf which resulted in a 10-stroke victory on the nearly 5,000 yard course. This marked his first victory and gold medal of the year in the boys’ 9-10 division. The month of August proved to be a very successful month as he also received a bronze medal at the 5,200 yard Cardinal Golf Club in Newmarket at his previous start on the CJGA circuit. Pestell, who will be entering Grade 5 at Maple Ridge Public School this fall, has been taking golf lessons from Jason Knill at the Devil’s Den Golf Centre in Whitby. His teaching methods and keen interest in junior golfers have helped ele- vate Connor’s game to a level which has allowed him to earn four medals on the CJGA tour this year. Pestell practises out of both the Devil’s Den Golf Centre and Deer Creek Academy in Ajax. Pestell will be competing at the final event on the CJGA calendar, the Tour Championship, being held over three days (Aug. 30 to Sept. 1) at the Cones- toga Golf Club just outside Waterloo. GoLf Local golfers shoot it out for ontario title DURHAM -- Some young local golfers posted strong rounds at the Ontario juve- nile girls and boys championships. In the girls’ division, held at the Loyalist Golf and Country Club in Bath, Meghan Bennett of Pickering had the top local finish, coming in fifth. The Whitevale Golf Club member was consistent, post- ing three rounds of 78 for a 234 total of +18. She was just six strokes off the win- ning total of 228 posted by Kennedy Bod- field of St. Catharines. Crystina Kertsos, also of Pickering, finished in a three-way tie for 14th, as the York Downs Golf and Country Club mem- ber finished with rounds of 83-80-85. In the boys’ tournament at the same location, Matthew Scobie of Ajax was the top finisher among the locals, tied for 15th with two others. The Deer Creek member had rounds of 71-79-76 to finish +10, well back of winner Josh Walen who was -7. David Kuksis (75-80-76) of Ajax fin- ished in a tie for 26th at +15. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • August 31, 201119 AP Joe Dickson, MPP 905-427-2060 | www.joedickson.onmpp.ca THIS YEAR, ONTARIO CREATED MORE JOBS THAN ALL OTHER PROVINCES COMBINED.

BasketBall Trio of Durham’s best to represent Canada in Italy Pierre, Whyte and Campbell tabbed for 3 on 3 worlds DURHAM -- Canada Basketball has selected three players who will represent Canada at the first ever FIBA Invitational 3x3 Youth World Championship, which is set to take place from Sept. 9-11 in Rim- ini, Italy. This event will bring together men and women in the U18 division from all over the world, gathering 40 teams, (16 women and 24 men). On the men’s team, Dyshawn Pierre of Whitby has been with the National Team Program since 2010 when he helped Can- ada win the bronze medal at the FIBA U17 World Championship for men in Germa- ny. This summer, the Anderson Colle- giate student competed in the FIBA U19 World Championship in Latvia, leading the Junior Men’s National Team in points and rebounds. On the women’s team are a pair of ath- letes from Ajax in Dakota Whyte and Tai- jah Campbell. They helped Ontario win the gold medal at the 17U National Champion- ships this summer in Winnipeg, Manito- ba, where Whyte was named the tourna- ment’s Most Valuable Player. Whyte, a student at Notre Dame Catho- lic Secondary School, is the only member of both Canadian squads to have interna- tional 3x3 experience, as she participat- ed in the 2010 Youth Olympic Games last summer in Singapore, where she helped Canada to a fourth place finish. Camp- bell is a student and mainstay on the Pickering High School team. The women will be coached by Christa Eniojukan, who also hails from Ajax. She has a background with Canada Basket- ball as a Targeted Athlete Strategy (TAS) coach as well as a coach for the Centre for Performance. Game stories and boxscores of each game will be posted on Canada Basket- ball’s website at www.basketball.ca. HoCkey Ajax duo picked up by ECHL team in Cincinnati CINCINNATI -- Ajax’s Ryan Annesley is set to give a career in professional hockey a go. The 25-year-old Ajax native and former captain at Niagara University has agreed to terms on a contract with the East Coast Hockey League’s Cincinnati Cyclones. Annesley is coming off a senior season at Niagara where he led all Purple Eagles defencemen in scoring and finished fourth overall with 27 points on four goals and 23 helpers. In addition to posting a career-high in points in 2010-11, he also earned AHA Third- All Conference Team honours. During his five-year career at Niagara he registered 70 points, including 16 goals in 144 NCAA games. In 2007-08, he helped the Pur- ple Eagles capture the CHA Championship and was named to the league’s all-star team. In a press release on the team’s website, head coach Jarrod Skalde noted he expects big things from the five-foot-10 defenceman in his rookie season. “Ryan comes highly recommended and is a puck-moving defenceman,” said Skalde in the release, that also announced the sign- ing of former Kingston Frontenacs scorer Nathan Moon. “He is a very good skater who I see playing on our power play and in offen- sive situations. I know he’s looking forward to making the next step in his career and I’m excited to have a guy who can make that first pass, join the rush, and be responsible defen- sively.” Prior to heading off to Niagara, Annes- ley spent four seasons in the Ontario Junior Hockey League with the Pickering Panthers. On the heels of his signing, the club has added the rights to another Ajax native, Brad Snetsinger. Snetsinger, a 24-year-old forward who spent parts of five seasons in the OHL with Mississauga and Windsor, had his ECHL rights acquired by the club in a trade with the Florida Everblades. Last season with the Everblades, Bakers- field Condors and Utah Grizzlies, Snetsinger posted 21 goals and 51 points. He also played seven games in the Ameri- can Hockey League with the Binghamton Senators, scoring once.
