The violent home invasion occurred just after 10 p.m. on Aug. 26 at a residence in the Pickering Parkway and Notion Road area. Police say five men burst into the home, pointed a gun at the homeowner and assaulted him and his 10-year-old daugh- ter. They were not seriously injured. The suspects stole two cellphones before fleeing. Police searched the area but no arrests were made. One suspect is described as a black man between 17 and 19 years old, about six feet tall with a medium build, wearing a T-shirt and jeans. There are no descriptions available for the other four male suspects. Anyone with information is asked to con- tact Detective Constable Kollaard at 1-888- 579-1520 ext. 2530. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca. Tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. Ten-year-old girl, father assaulted in Pickering home invasion WARKWORTH -- An Ajax child was airlifted to SickKids hospital with serious injuries after a wagon ride accident in Warkworth over the weekend. Police say the boy, 8, sustained non-life threatening injuries and was airlifted from Campbellford Memorial Hospital to the Toronto hospital. Northumberland Coun- ty OPP Constable Phil Clarke said the boy is expected to be OK. Const. Clarke said on Aug. 25 at 10:30 p.m., 25 people, many of whom were children, were enjoying a wagon ride during a family func- tion just north of Warkworth. The driver of a tractor, which was pulling the wagon, lost con- trol while travelling down a hill where it then hit a tree. The driver was thrown from the tractor and several other people fell from the wagon. The 52-year-old driver of the tractor, also from Ajax, was airlifted to Kingston Gen- eral Hospital with serious injuries. A 28-year- old Pickering man was taken to Peterborough Regional Health Centre with a serious inju- ry, while another 28-year-old man, from the Windsor area, was treated for a serious injury at Campbellford Memorial Hospital. Const. Clarke said the OPP are still investi- gating. The OPP’s Technical Traffic Collision Investigation Team attended the scene to assist in the investigation.

Guinness record for longest distance travelled in 24 hours returns home Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Members of the Pickering Dragon Boat Club have recaptured their lost world record after a weekend of relentless rowing. In July 2004, the club became the orig- inal Guinness World Record holders for the longest distance traveled in a dragon boat in 24 hours. In 2008 the record was snatched away by a club in Australia before being claimed by another team in Great Brit- ain. This year, the Pickering members resolved to bring the title home. “A number of people from our club said they feel like that’s our record and it should live here, they wanted it back,” said coach Scott Murray. “We decided we wanted to take it back in a big way.” The determined members took to the waters of Frenchman’s Bay just off Pick- ering’s Progress Park at noon on Aug. 25 for their 24 Hour Paddle event. The 26-member crew had a goal of hitting 200 kilometres, which would beat the 175-kilometre record held by the Brit- ish by a comfortable margin. At noon on Aug. 26 they had traveled 214.39 kilome- tres. “We feel like we smashed that record,” Mr. Murray said of the effort. “We hope it holds for awhile. We wanted to set the bar really high so the next group will have to consider all the pain and torture they’ll have to go through to break that, and then think twice about trying.” The crew experienced that pain first- hand, rowing four hours at a time with one hour breaks in between. “I can tell you that was not enough,” said Meghan Bhatia, director of 24 Hour Pad- dle event, who shuttled rowers between the boats and land. “The athletes were physically done, but you could see them transform when they heard we broke the record. It gave them the motivation they needed for the next four hours.” Mr. Murray, who was one of the rowers, recalls the record-breaking announce- ment, which came just before 7:30 a.m. “There were moments where every- thing felt like it was breaking down, your shoulders, your hands. Everyone was feeling the effects, but when we heard we had broken the record it was a really good feeling because so much had gone into it. I’m so proud of everyone, we had athletes from 17 years old to 50. It was fantastic.” The club is always accepting new mem- bers, and Mr. Murray encourages anyone who loves physical fitness and travel to check out the sport.

The following data applies to 2010, the most recent data available from Region officials. Signalized intersections Kingston Road and Whites Road (Pickering) -- 32.5 Kingston Road and Salem Road (Ajax) -- 28.26 Brock Road and Pickering Parkway (Pickering) -- 24.05 Kingston Road and Harwood Avenue (Ajax) -- 24.01 Ritson Road and Bond Street (Oshawa) -- 22.02 Taunton Road and Brock Street (Whitby) -- 17.59 Harmony Road and Taunton Road (Oshawa) -- 16.84 King Street and Ritson Road (Oshawa) -- 16.71 Rossland Road and Mary Street (Oshawa) -- 15.20 Simcoe Street and Bloor Street (Oshawa) -- 15.07 Non-signalized intersections Ritson Road and Viola Street (Oshawa) -- 5.19 Simcoe Street and Russett Avenue (Oshawa) -- 3.86 Simcoe Street and Coates Road (Oshawa) -- 3.11 Ritson Road and Toronto Street (Oshawa) -- 2.93 Darlington/Clarke Townline Road and Con- cession 3 (Clarington) -- 2.78 Consumers Drive and Paisley Drive (Whitby) -- 2.65 Harmony Road and Conlin Road (Oshawa) -- 2.48 Winchester Road and Regional Road 57 (Clarington) -- 2.34 Winchester Road and Ritson Road (Oshawa) -- 1.66 Henry Street and Burns Street (Whitby) -- 1.64 This is the second in a two-part series examining Durham Region’s most dangerous intersections High-volume intersections top list Reka szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com Every time there’s a collision on a Dur- ham road, the data gets forwarded to the Region and it becomes part of the big picture that allows staff to identify Dur- ham’s most dangerous intersections. The Region factors in collision data from Durham police, traffic volume and the severity of collisions and assigns intersec- tions and road segments scores under its potential for safety improvement (PSI) index. Currently, data is only available for 2010 and in that year, the Kingston Road and Whites Road intersection had the highest score among signalized intersections with a score of 32.50. In 2011, that intersection had 59 collisions, the fourth highest number in Durham, according to police. The second highest PSI index number was assigned to the Kingston Road and Salem Road intersec- tion with a score of 28.26, which saw 87 collisions in 2011. Jeff Pammett, traffic engineer- ing supervisor at the Region, said that when an intersection scores above 15 on the index, it’ll come under scrutiny. Region staff will look for obstructions, items that impede line-of-sight such as a bus shel- ter or a large advertisement, and will work with Durham police if speeding is a problem. However, he said there are three factors involved in collisions: the driv- er, the vehicle and the roadway. The Region can only work on the last item. “There’s little opportunity to make improvements at some of those locations, because there’s not always road problems,” said Mr. Pammett. “It’s a combination of driver behaviour and traffic volume and congestion.” Complicated intersections where there are channels, such as right- and left-turn lanes, can see more col- lisions. However, having turning lanes improves traffic flow. Things like a car stalling during a busy period can lead to drivers making bad lane chang- es to avoid it and sideswiping other vehicles, he said. According to the Region’s data, the south leg of the Kings- ton and Salem intersection sees 42,670 vehicles per day. The Kingston and Whites intersec- tion sees 33,400 vehicles per day on its busiest leg, the north leg. Other top-ranked intersections, Brock and Kingston roads and Brock Road and High- way 401, each see roughly 40,000 vehicles per day on the busiest stretches. In some cases the road may be a factor, but there are limits to what can be done. For example, at Kingston and Whites, Kingston does not run straight in the east-west direc- tion, it’s on a slight diagonal, meaning the intersection is skewed and drivers are not making 90-degree turns. Another factor is the proximity to Hwy. 401 which increases volume on the road. “Some of these places we’re limited to what we can do in terms of the geometry, Kingston Road is built out ... we can’t pick the 401 up and move it,” he said. Several of the non-signalized intersec- tions with the highest PSI scores in 2010 have already seen improvements or they’re in the works. They include signalizing the Harmony Road and Conlin Road intersec- tion in Oshawa, a median at Consumers Drive and Paisley Court in Whitby and a warning system at Simcoe Street and Coates Road in Oshawa letting drivers know about hazardous conditions. It’s all something of a work in progress. Mr. Pammett said his department will continue to monitor collision reports from police, look at road volumes and conduct safety and engineering road reviews. > Durham’s worst intersections Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Au g u s t 2 9 , 2 0 1 2 5 AP A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Beyond the question of whether the construction of an ethanol plant is a suit- able development, located as it would be between Oshawa’s scenic and highly popu- lar Lakeview Park to the west and the envi- ronmentally sensitive Second Marsh to the east, it’s the highly arbitrary and secretive process behind the scenes that is stoking controversy. FarmTech, the proponents behind the plant, and the Oshawa Port Authority are fully aware of the solid opposition and brewing discontent in the community sur- rounding the proposal, but have done little to respond publicly to concerns raised, let alone work to alleviate them. And Oshawa councillors are leery enough of the goings on that have marked the process that they are asking the federal integrity commis- sioner to examine the appointment of Oshawa Port Authority members and the relationship between Whitby-Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty, FarmTech and the port authority’s decision to approve the ethanol plant. If the proponents are under the impres- sion that the will of Oshawa and Dur- ham Region residents can continue to be ignored, they are miscalculating. Anger in the community is palpable, and growing. If they haven’t already, residents will soon be organizing to bring their dissatisfaction to MPs, MPPs, local councillors, FarmTech, port authority members and the commu- nity at large. And Oshawa councillors are working feverishly to oppose the plan. Why? Because residents and democratically elected municipal councillors are being treated with a level of disrespect that bor- ders on contempt by the ethanol plant’s proponents. Because the process has been secretive and unaccountable. Because the clearly expressed position of the City of Oshawa that it is it not a willing host has been unceremoniously ignored. It is precisely this sort of conduct -- unac- countable, non-transparent, high-handed -- that breeds suspicion and cynicism. No wonder city residents, Oshawa councillors and others are lining up so firmly in oppo- sition. FarmTech and the Oshawa Port Author- ity owe Oshawa and its citizens fairness, openness and accountability, and need to persuade them of the plant’s merits on a level playing field. To date, however, none of that seems to be on offer. Stepping out of the security blanket By the time you read this column I will be in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, or very close to it. Like thousands and thousands of parents before me, and thousands this week making a similar trip all across Cana- da, we are taking our oldest son to his first year at St. Francis Xavier University. But this is more than just a trip for post-secondary reasons. We have turned it into a bit of a holiday. In all my years living in Canada, I have never been outside Ontario except for one trip to Montreal I made in high school with some friends. Thanks to basketball and hock- ey I have been to most areas of Ontario, including the north, but stepping outside the border has eluded me to this point. A combination of not needing to go anywhere and a lack of funds (see the comment about hockey and basketball) have kept me in my security blanket. But it’s time to travel and to my surprise, almost everyone I have talked to about the trip has been to Nova Scotia. I have had tips on the best way to get through Quebec, which small towns to stay in and about a 50/50 difference of opinion about seeing Peggy’s Cove. My wife just wants to see the ocean. No problem, everyone tells me, just drive 10 minutes in any direction. Make sure you try the lobster. That won’t be happening as I’m not a fan of seafood. I had thought the Cabot Trail was a walking trail but I have been told if I don’t make the drive around the trail it will be a wasted trip. I’m not sure what to expect from our first trip to another part of Canada. Honestly, if our van survives and we get back in one piece I will consider it a success. But I know one thing, when the van starts moving west next Saturday morning with one less occupant, there will be a few tears and lots and lots of anxious moments wondering if he is ready to be on his own. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston is crossing his fingers for a safe trip out east. Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Au g u s t 2 9 , 2 0 1 2 6 AP du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m I just had the delight of spending some wonderful cottage time with good friends and their beautiful children. It’s interesting; our kids, like our clothing, books and even haircuts, really do say a lot about what kind of people we real- ly are. So much so that different styles of parenting have often been the cause of failed friendships. I can’t be the only person to have ever started what looked to be a pleasant relationship with another couple, only to have the whole thing come to a screaming halt upon meeting their demon-seed off- spring. I hate when this happens. It’s heartbreaking. You meet another pair of individuals and things really do look promising. They are interesting, intelligent and you seem to have so much in common. Being with them is fun. Naturally, you next invite them over for a barbecue. They arrive, get out of their well-main- tained, recent model car, smiling and waving, one hand grasping a bottle of your favourite wine, the other a Tupperware container of homemade potato salad. These are really good peo- ple. It’s all so absolutely idyllic. That is, until they open the back doors and release the spawn of Satan. Two over-indulged, sugar-stoked, world-class pills spill out of the vehi- cle and noisily proceed to trash your property, terrorize your own chil- dren and generally behave abomi- nably with complete and shocking impunity. You watch in helpless, slack-jawed horror as your own cherubic offspring learn new words and gestures, things you had hoped would not join their lexicon until they became longshoremen, entered into a life of prostitution or perhaps enlist- ed in the marines. Further, your children, who have grown up happily understanding rules, boundaries and consequences, look at you in abject puzzlement as rule by bro- ken rule, boundary by breached bound- ary, the hideous little visitors wreak havoc with not a trace of consequence in sight. Your newfound friends sit, cocktails in hand and beam oblivi- ously as their murderous little vomits whiz in the chimenea. If, perchance, they do register your ashen look, they never admon- ish, reprimand, teach their children, or in any way actually ‘par- ent’ them. Instead, they smile, shrug and say remarkably stu- pid things like: “Kids will be kids”!, or, “Quite a pair of scamps, huh?” or “Whaddya gonna do, they’re boys.” You know, of course, what you would like to do. What you would like to do is call both Children’s Aid and the nearest vasectomy clinic and see if you can’t arrange to have both your new friends’ present and all future children taken away from them. You would like to drown them in their own stinking potato salad. You would like to throw them and their vicious little progeny the hell off your property with instruc- tions to never darken your doorstep again. That’s what you’d like to do. But of course, you don’t. You do what most of us do. You suffer through the rest of the afternoon, biting your tongue so often you almost cleave it in half. You do your best to protect your children from further injury, both physical and psychological. Whis- pering to them in brief, clandestine kitchen meetings that it’s OK, the bad people will be leaving soon. And, finally, after a lifetime that you can never get back, they do leave. With them vanishes any fur- ther chance of another get-togeth- er. It’s so wonderfully different with parents who actually parent. Instead of being a source of anxiety, anger and embar- rassment, these children are an interesting, delightful addition to the mix. Coinciden- tally they also grow up knowing and valuing the difference between the two. And that, in a nutshell, is our job as parents isn’t it? To leave things a little better than when we got here? -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Dealing with o ther people’s kids ... sigh Poll > 7% 23% Cast your vote at durhamregion.com today! This week’s question: The NHL players union could face a lockout if a new collective agreement isn’t reached between the players association members and club owners before the new hockey season starts. What do you think? A. I couldn’t care any less, even if I tried. B. It disgusts me. As always, it’s about greedy ownership. C. They had better agree on something soon. Play hockey! A. Nah. It lost its charm for us many years ago. B. We don’t go every year, but it’s fun when we do. C. Absolutely! It’s something we look forward to each year.. Last week’s question: the 134th edition of the Canadian National Exhibition opened last Friday. Do you go to the CNE every year? ...Facebook focuses on disabled couple who were recently robbed in Durham... Facebook discussions in the past week focused on news of an Oshawa couple confined to wheelchairs who were robbed while going about their business in Oshawa. Here’s what our Facebook friends had to say: Avril Attfield Fernley: Disgusting! I REALLY hope the police catch this pond scum! Lori-lolo Budd: Wow I can’t believe someone would stoop so low. I hope they catch the guy. Leanne McMurtry: If it’s the couple I think it is, they are very nice and considerate. I used to see them all the time at Zellers. I hope someone helps them out a bit. Blaine Leal: Maybe we could get a local business to donate a computer to them as well (if they don’t have one) and teach them how to do internet banking to pay their bills so that it is more secure for them and they are not car- rying cash on them. Time for them to use an inter- act card for now on. So sad that they have to go through this, the person who did this is the lowest of the low. If anyone thinks it is a good idea I will write letters to local businesses to see if they can donate a laptop or computer and I am sure their bank would walk them through online banking. Mike Finn: This happens to Vets every day. I don’t see you report- ing on that. Dorothy Reynard Hopson: Sum- mer brings out a lot of bad people of all ages. No one should carry that amount of money on them. This young couple should look into paying their bills online. They wouldn’t have so many miles to put on and have more time for a day at the park. I do hope they catch the @#$!! and I hope this couple learns some safer way for their bill paying. Our mistake: We identified a missing dog, ‘Cart- er’, as being reunited with his owner. He remains at large. In fact, it was missing dog ‘Carson’ who was found safe. Let’s Talk Join the Facebook conversation with fellow residents and durhamregion.com readers.

Drunk drivers are not always named but someone accused, maybe unjustly, of child molestation is named and sometimes their address is published too. If they are innocent, their lives are ruined. Someone will always look at them and say, ‘that’s the person who was accused of child molestation.’ -- Lynn Bailey Cummins 10. Florence, Italy 9. Transylvánia, Romania 8. Hyde Park, England 7.

The drill is routine for members of PARA, an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organiza- tion that conducts search and rescue and assists boaters in distress off the shores of Ajax and Pickering and beyond, if needed. “If someone dials 911 in Durham Region and they need assistance on the water, odds are it’s our smiling faces they’ll see,” said Gary Endicott, commodore of PARA. The closest Coast Guard vessels are sta- tioned in Cobourg and St. Catharine’s and could take up to two hours to reach some- one in Durham. From their base at Picker- ing’s Frenchman’s Bay Yacht Club, PARA crews can be on Lake Ontario ready to assist within 15 minutes. PARA’s 48 current volunteers are on call 24/7, with crews on the water weekday evenings and weekends from April through November. “We go out and save people every year,” Mr. Endicott explained, noting they’ve been called upon nine times so far this year. In 2011, the group responded to four res- cues and in 2010 there were 12. “This is extremely important to the com- munity,” Mr. Endicott said. “Unless you want to leave people out there in distress, you need us.” The group recently put its rescue skills, and some new equipment, to use to assist a man who had fallen off a boat off the shore of Ajax. The crew used a Jason’s cradle, purchased using donations, to haul the man out of the water. The tool, which Mr. Endicott calls a “game changer,” can be used as a ladder or as a scoop to rescue victims from the water. “It’s a benefit,” said Mr. Anderson, noting before the cradle, crews would use brute strength to haul victims from the water, creating a risky situation for rescuers, who could easily fall overboard themselves. “It’s extraordinarily challenging to get someone into a boat from the water,” Mr. Anderson continued. “Hypothermia is always a risk, and this is a huge advantage because we can bring them in horizontally. If a hypothermic victim comes out vertical- ly they are at risk of post-rescue collapse.” Hypothermia is a constant threat in Lake Ontario, where even at the height of sum- mer people can survive only about half a day in the frigid waters. In winter, that win- dow narrows to less than an hour. The most frustrating thing for volunteers, however, is the searches that don’t have a happy ending, such as an Aug. 5 search for two canoeists who capsized in the waters off Ajax. Although one was rescued by an area kayaker, the second canoeist was not immediately found. “It’s tragic that we didn’t find anyone,” Mr. Anderson said, shaking his head. “We tried our best.” His body was recovered from the lake on Saturday, Aug. 25 and he was positively identified as Moustafa Ahmadi, 26. The risks that come along with boating are always top of mind for crew members such as Mark Hanz, a five-year volunteer. “As a boater myself I appreciate the fact that they’re out there rescuing boaters in distress,” he explained. “I know you can get in trouble really quickly out there. It’s nice to know they’re here to help you if you need it.” The job does offer lighter aspects, how- ever. “I think the camaraderie is one of my favourite parts,” said Cindy Marcellus, pub- lic relations officer for PARA. In addition to donations, the organiza- tion receives funding from Durham Region and the federal government. For more information on PARA or to learn how to volunteer, visit www.para-rescue.org.

The man has been identified as 26-year-old Moustafa Ahmadi. He went missing Aug. 5 when a canoe he and a 28-year-old Ajax man were travelling in capsized in the lake at night. Officials recovered the canoe, paddles and a life jacket from the water Aug. 6. A passing boater noticed a body in the water just after 1 p.m. on Aug. 25 and notified police, said Ser- geant Jeff Galipeau of the Durham force’s marine unit. It was discovered about one kilometre from the shore, just off the southern end of Lakeridge Road. The 28-year-old canoeist survived the incident -- he was able to swim to shore near Lakeridge Road, where he managed to get the attention of Ajax lake- shore resident Cameron Wilson and his girlfriend. Mr. Wilson, a kayaker, sprang into action after hearing the man’s cries for help. He jumped in the water, while his girlfriend threw his kayak to him and alerted officials. “I’m scared of going in the water when it’s dark, but for some reason all the fear I had just went away, because I can’t imagine being in the middle of the lake,” Mr. Wilson said. “I pray that never happens to me, and I hope that if it did happen to me there’d be someone to help me out.” Mr. Wilson pulled the 28-year-old to shore, but was unable to locate the 26-year-old man who was presumed to have drowned. He said the man he saved told him the miss- ing man was not a strong swimmer and had cho- sen to stay with the canoe while the other man swam for help. -- With files from Tara Hatherly and the Toronto Star Destiny Church presents Larry & Angela Keeton Come Expect A Miracle!

The Panthers head into their final OJHL exhibition game of the month on Thursday at the Ajax Community Centre -- against the visiting New Jersey Titans of the AJHL -- as winners of two of their last three. Their most recent effort was the loss, but it was one on which to build off of Monday night. The Panthers, for two periods anyway, stayed right with the always-tough St. Michael’s Buzzers, entering the third tied 2-2 before eventually dropping a 5-2 decision. Two goals early in the first from Dylan Hut- ton and Derek Sheppard actually provided the Panthers with a 2-0 lead. St. Mike’s would then cut into that advantage later in the peri- od, tie things up in the second and then score the only three goals of the third. Spencer Bacon played the first half of the game, leaving with a 2-1 lead still intact, before Wyatt Pickerall manned the crease the rest of the way, allowing four goals on 23 shots. A day earlier, a three-goal second period helped lift the Panthers to a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Junior Canadiens. Down 1-0 going into the second peri- od, Alyn Nanji scored 17 seconds in to tie it up before Tanner Bull tallied a minute later shorthanded to put the Panthers ahead. After Toronto tied things up with a short- handed marker of its own, John Woolsey put Pickering back on top with a goal and Shep- pard added another early in the third. Pickerall got the win in goal, while splitting the game with Bacon. That win marked Pickering’s second straight over Toronto. Last Thursday the Pan- thers scored the game’s final three goals in a 4-2 victory. Pickering opens its regular season Sept. 7 at home to the Newmarket Hurricanes. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Cole commits to Kirtland Pine Ridge grad to play for Firebirds basketball team BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Alastair Cole didn’t think he was a good enough player to even consider heading to the United States to play basketball at the university or junior college level. Turns out it was more of an issue with his confidence, or lack of it at the time, than it was his talent on the floor. Kirt- land Community College head basket- ball coach Ty McGregor thought that way, recruiting the Pickering resident to play for the Division-II school in Michi- gan for the next two years. “I always wanted to go, but I didn’t think I was good enough to go when I started playing competitively,” says Cole of his aspirations on the court. “After I transferred from Notre Dame and played with Jamal Reynolds (at Pine Ridge), I would meet him and go out every morn- ing to school and train. “Last year we won LOSSA and that real- ly opened a couple of doors for me.” The six-foot-three shooting guard found his game after leaving Notre Dame to attend Pine Ridge. After being cut from the Notre Dame high school team in Grade 9, then making the team in Grades 10 and 11 only to have limited playing time, Cole made the switch to Pine Ridge. There, he joined one of the best talents in the area in Reynolds. This past season, Cole’s fifth and final year of high school, he helped Pine Ridge to the LOSSA title, claiming some redemption of sorts with a resounding 86-54 win over Notre Dame in the cham- pionship game. At the OFSAA provin- cial championships in Ottawa, Cole and his teammates advanced to the quarter- finals. Away from school Cole played club basketball beginning in Grade 9 with the Whitby Saints, Durham City and Markham-Unionville. The extra time on the court caught the eye of a couple of Canadian schools and four more in the States. He made just one visit -- to Kirt- land. “The coach seemed like a really good guy and he was willing to put all his effort into me and push me basketball-wise and school-wise,” says Cole of the favour- able first impression. “He said the play- ers there are like a family and that sold it for me.” Excited and nervous to become a Fire- bird, Cole knows he will have to impress quickly. “My plan is to go in and work hard and earn my minutes,” he says. He plans on taking business courses at Kirtland, and beyond the two years there, strive toward securing a spot at a Division-I school to continue his studies and basketball career. > JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND PICKERING -- Alastair Cole will be heading to Kirtland Community College in Michigan to play basketball for the Division-II junior college. Durham College alumni games scheduled for September OSHAWA -- Many of the top Durham Lords basketball and volleyball players from the last 40 years will hit the court at the CRWC once again for a Durham College event. Men’s and women’s alumni teams will suit up against the 2012-13 varsity teams in four exhibition games scheduled to take place on Saturday, Sept. 29. “We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back on campus,” said athletic director Ken Babcock in a press release. “It is important that our former players and their families remain involved with our program. “It is also a great opportunity for them to visit with old teammates, friends and coaches to share some memories.” All former members of the Lords volley- ball and basketball programs have been invited back to campus for the alum- ni games. A number of Durham College greats have already committed to play in the game and the list continues to grow. Following the alumni games, there will be a social taking place at Shagwell’s on the Ridge at the Campus Ice Centre. Former players, coaches and staff mem- bers can register for the event by contact- ing Scott Dennis at 905-721-2000 ext. 2784 or scott.dennis@dc-uoit.ca.

Training camp opens today for Oshawa Generals Photo by Walter Passarella OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Generals open training camp today for the first time under the guidance of new general manager Jeff Twohey. Ontario Hockey League team looking for a new identity in 2012-13 brian Mcnair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The old sports cliche that there’s no ‘I’ in team is one that’s familiar to all, but perhaps not taken fully to heart by the Oshawa Generals over the past couple of years. Jeff Twohey, the man hired to right the ship as general manager, plans to ingrain that attitude beginning Wednesday when the Ontario Hockey League team opens its main training camp. Any players not on board won’t be around long, he insists. “I think it was just a group that wanted to play more as individuals than as a team, and I think at some point the onus has to go onto the players to buy into the concept that team success will equal success for them as indi- viduals,” Twohey says, when asked why he thought last season’s team under-achieved. “It’s pretty clear to the players that if they don’t buy in then they’re not going to be here because it hasn’t worked the way they wanted to do it.” The lack of success last year, when the Generals scraped and clawed simply to make the playoffs before being ousted in the first round, has seen an overhaul in the man- agement and coaching ranks, with Twohey hired in April to replace Chris DePiero, and D.J. Smith brought in by Twohey two months later as head coach, replacing Gary Agnew. “I would say that it was a long, drawn-out process, but it was necessary because it’s such a key component of our team,” Twohey says of hiring Smith, who had been an assis- tant with the Windsor Spitfires the previ- ous six years. “Without solid coaching, your team’s chances of success are limited. But it was well worth it. I think at the end of the day, we’ve got a really good young coach that brings a lot of experience, a lot of pas- sion.” The camp begins with fitness testing and other off-ice activities Wednesday before the 55 players are broken into three teams for scrimmages Thursday and Friday, and then reduced to two for a trio of red/white games > Friday and Saturday at the General Motors Centre. Twohey has so far signed only the 16 play- ers returning from last season’s club and Michael Dal Colle, the first-round pick in the 2012 draft. “We haven’t committed to anyone else and I don’t think we can because a lot of these guys I’m gaining knowledge on,” says Twohey, pointing out he wasn’t part of the draft process. “It’s crucial that the young players come in and don’t waste time feeling their way. They’ve just got to come in and go for it. That’s what successful players do, so hopefully there’s a lot of that.” At the same time, Twohey says the veter- ans will have to earn their way onto the team, and won’t simply be handed jobs based on their past. “If they show early that they don’t want to buy in, or want to resume some old habits, then we can move on pretty quickly from them, so I would anticipate there should be competition here,” he says. Barring any surprises or major changes, the Generals expect to be strong up front again, and especially at centre, where cap- tain Boone Jenner and Scott Laughton should form a potent one-two punch. The return of Lucas Lessio and the expected addition of Tyler Biggs should mean a least two high impact wingers as well. “There are some good pieces there, espe- cially up front on the forward lines, for sure,” says Twohey. “We should be able to put six to nine forwards out there that can match most teams in the league.” Like all hockey teams, the Generals’ suc- cess will hinge on the play they get between the pipes, a job this season that will be placed squarely on the shoulders of Daniel Altshuller. Altshuller had an up-and-down rook- ie campaign as a 17 year old, but showed enough signs of promise, especially in the playoffs, to get drafted into the National Hockey League this summer. “Daniel’s going to have to take on a big role this year,” admits Twohey. “I know based on what I saw of him in his midget year, I saw the potential, and then what I saw in the playoffs when I was working for the Coyotes, you could see the potential, so it’s crucial that he accept the responsibility as our num- ber one guy, and really move forward with it and play with some consistency and maturi- ty, and show why he was a third-round pick to Carolina. “His play and his commitment and his outlook is crucial to us.” Training camp and preseason schedule Wednesday, Aug. 29 Camp Opens Thursday, Aug. 30 10:00-11:30 a.m. Team Red vs. Team White 5:00-6:30 p.m. Team Blue vs. Team White Friday, Aug. 31 10:00-11:30 a.m. Team Blue vs. Team Red 3:45-5:45 p.m. Game 1 Team Red vs. Team White Saturday, Sept. 1 9:15-11:15 a.m. Game 2 Team Red vs. Team White 3:45pm-5:45 p.m. Game 3 Team Red vs. Team White Monday, Sept. 3 2 p.m. Oshawa Generals at Niagara IceDogs Thursday, Sept. 6 7 p.m. Oshawa Generals at Peterborough Petes Saturday, Sept. 8 7:05 p.m. Oshawa Generals vs. Peterborough Petes at Ajax Community Centre Tuesday, Sept. 11 7:05 p.m. Oshawa Generals vs. Belleville Bulls at Garnet B.

Pickering’s Sean Pierson draws new opponent for UFC fight Lance Benoist in for Dan Miller on next month’s card LAS VEGAS -- It didn’t take the UFC long to find Sean Pierson another opponent. After his expected combat- ant Dan Miller was forced out of their scheduled fight in Septem- ber at UFC 152 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, the next day it was announced that Lance Benoist would be stepping in to face Pierson, a Pickering native who will be making his fifth appearance for the promotion. Benoist is 6-1 in MMA and has split two fights with the UFC. He is coming off his first loss, falling to Seth Baczynski via split deci- sion at UFC on FX 3 in June. On that same card Pierson snapped a two-fight losing streak, defeating Jake Hecht in a unanimous decision. Pierson is now 2-2 in four UFC fights and 12-6-0 overall in 18 career pro mixed martial arts bouts. Pierson and Benoist enter the fight with at least one thing in common as both hold wins over Matt Riddle from their respec- tive UFC debuts. Pierson beat Riddle back in December 2010, while Benoist turned the trick last year. As for Miller, he was forced out of the fight with Pierson after his young son Danny was scheduled for kidney transplant surgery. > Apartments & Flats For RentA Apartments & Flats For RentA VendorsWantedV VendorsWantedV Cleaning /JanitorialC Cleaning /JanitorialC In Memoriam In Memoriam Deaths Deaths Deaths Deaths Classifieds YourClassifieds.caFor Delivery Inquiries, please call 905-683-5117 News Advertiser To Place an Ad Call: 905-683-5110 Or Toronto Line: 416-798-7259 durhamregion.com • Email: classifieds@durhamregion.com To place your personalized In Memoriam, call 905-683-5110 (Ajax) and let one of our professionaladvisors help you. continued from pg. 17 TOLL, Stanley - Peacefully at his home on August 28th, 2012.
