The operations training centre on Anderson Street will help the service launch a new com- munications platform and, for the first time in decades, conduct firearms training at a police-owned facility, Chief Mike Ewles said. The building will also house the service’s 911 call centre, as well as IT backup servers. “We place significant emphasis on our train- ing,” the chief said, noting the underground firearm range at the downtown Oshawa police station was closed down 25 years ago. Construction on the 47,000-square-foot building -- it’s located on land north of the existing Central West police station -- began in April 2011. The structure addresses what’s been identified by the service as critical needs, the chief said. The communications and 911 call centre will accommodate staff who deal with ever- increasing calls for service. Each year the unit handles about 640,000 emergency and non- emergency calls, the service said. Police will join other Durham emergency services in a new communications platform next year, Chief Ewles said. The centre also houses backup servers that will allow information systems to remain operable in the event of problems at the ser- vice’s main IT site. And a significant portion of the building is dedicated to a new firing range and related training rooms, allowing Durham cops to conduct their compulsory annual firearms training in Whitby. “We haven’t had our own firing range since 1988,” Chief Ewles said Thursday. In the intervening years Durham cops have conducted their gun training at private rang- es, such as the Ajax Rod and Gun Club, where DRP has leased space for the past decade. The building design allows for future expan- sion should the additional space be needed, the service said. The new centre is “well deserved and well needed,” said Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson, also chairman of the police services board. “Training is critical to main- taining the high standards of policing we have in Durham,” Mr. Anderson said. WHITBY -- Durham Regional Police Chief Mike Ewles spoke during the official opening ceremony for the new Durham Regional Police Service Operations Training Centre at 4060 Anderson St. in Whitby.

IntersectionImprovementsIntersectionImprovements Fire marshal to investigate Ajax blaze One home heavily damaged, others affected AJAX -- Officials with the fire marshal’s office will investigate a blaze at a home in north Ajax on Friday. Ajax Fire and Emergency Services Deputy Chief Michael Gamba said it’s protocol for the Office of the Fire Marshal to conduct an investigation based on the size of the blaze and the amount of property damage. He anticipates it will take one to two weeks before the OFM determines a cause. The fire at 52 Hinsley Cres. began around 5 p.m. and by the time fire crews arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames. Neighbouring homes on both sides sus- tained minor damage. “The damage (to 52 Hinsley) is extensive,” Mr. Gamba said. “Engineers will have to come in and look at the structure to deter- mine what can be saved and what can’t.” There were no injuries, either to occu- pants of the houses or to firefighters, he noted. AJAX -- Ajax Firefighters were on the scene of a house fire at 52 Hinsley Crescent in north Ajax. The home was heavily dam- aged. The Ontario Fire Marshal is cur- rrently conducting an investigation into the cause of the blaze.

The victim sustained minor injuries as a result of the altercation, during which he wrestled with his attacker for the sword, Dur- ham police said. The incident began at about 9:15 p.m. at an intersection in the vicinity of Kingston and Whites roads. Police said a pedestrian cross- ing the street berated a 36-year-old motorist for blocking his path. The driver continued on to a nearby plaza where he was once again confronted by the angry pedestrian after get- ting out of his car, police said. The victim was attempting to walk away when the other man pulled a two-foot sword out of his pants, cops said. The victim was able to wrestle the sword away from his assailant but the altercation continued when the suspect wrapped a sil- ver necklace around his fist and punched the victim in the face, police said. Cops arriving on the scene arrested a sus- pect, who at first did not identify himself. Mudasser Sheikh, 25 of Mossbrook Square, Pickering, is charged with two counts of assault with a weapon, possession of a dan- gerous weapon and obstructing police. Pickering elementary school gets a name DURHAM -- The newly consolidated ele- mentary school in south Pickering has been named after an educator who gave up a life of wealth and comfort to become a priest and mission- ary. The Durham Cath- olic District School Board recent- ly approved the consolidation of Holy Redeemer and Our Lady of the Bay Catholic Schools. Following that, a community con- sultation process involving staff, students, families and the Naming of Schools Com- mittee took place, and the name Father Fenelon Catholic School was chosen for the school, effective this September. Father Fenelon is marked in the board’s history as the first educator to set foot in the Greater Toronto Area, and is credited with establishing the first Catholic school in Ontario on the shores of what is now known as Frenchman’s Bay. Pending approval from the Ministry of Education, a new school will go where Our Lady of the Bay currently sits. While that school is on its way up, the students will be housed at the current site of Holy Redeem- e r. ADVICEMETROLAND DURHAM REGION MEDIA PRESENTSExpert PUT TRUST IN A LOCAL PROFESSIONAL ...

But even if you’re not a gardener, you can learn some valuable lessons from one - especially if you’re an investor. Just as gardeners choose seeds or plants that are appropriate for their particular plots of land, you need to consider selecting investments suitable for your needs.And gardeners usually don’t grow only one variety of flower or one fruit or vegetable - so you shouldn’t stick with one type of investments. Owning a variety of investments can help you make progress toward your objectives. But remember, diversification does not guarantee a -profit or protect against a loss. And just as gardeners nurture plants through all types of weather, you need patience and discipline to stick with appropriate investments through good times and bad. So the next time you see some industrious gardeners at work, take note.They may have something to offer you.

Many add their boat to their home policy without realizingthecoverageisoftenverylimitedbycomparison. For example, a home policy will depreciate the value of the boat at the time of a claim, where as a boat policy will pay an agreed value. In addition, costs related to recovering a sunken vessel are also not covered by a home policy. Given how inexpensive it is to insure your boat separately I suggest that route to most consumers. Have an insurance related question? Feel free to contact me directly. Should I buy a separate policy for my boat or add it to my home policy?

Two girls aged 8 and 9 told Durham police they were approached twice by a suspicious man as they played at a resi- dence in the Harwood Avenue and Westney Road neighbourhood recently. The man got out of a van and asked one of the girls if she want- ed some candy, police said. He left the scene when she called out to her friend. He returned a few minutes later, this time on a blue bicycle, offering the chil- dren candy and asking them to come with him, police said; the frightened girls ran inside and the man left the area. The suspect is described as a black man, about 60, with dreadlocks and a scruffy grey beard. He wore a yellow, green and red hat, a blue T-shirt and brown shorts and drove an older model minivan. The vehicle, possibly green, had a roof rack and damage to the passenger side headlight, police said. The incident was the latest in a number of similar occurrences in Ajax. On April 12 a man grabbed a 13-year-old girl as she made her way to Romeo Dallaire Public School on Williamson Drive. That came on the heels of a March 18 occurrence at nearby Applecroft Public School. In that incident a man and woman are report- ed to have attempted to lure a 10-year-old girl into a vehicle. An investigation into the June 23 incident continues. Call police at 905-579- 1520, extension 5320 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477. A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Anytime you can miss a work day is great in my books but this weekend to me is always about celebrating our great country. As I sat at home Monday night I said to my wife that the weekend had gone fast and I didn’t think we had done many ‘Canadian’ things during the weekend. But as I thought more, I realized we had. On Saturday I sat through almost two hours of the NHL draft on television. I watched as those young hockey play- ers hugged their moms and dads as their names were called, then go up and put on their new team’s sweater. You can’t get anymore Canadian. On Saturday night I played nine holes of golf, wearing red and walking through the largest mosquito popu- lation I have ever seen. And this year they seem to be the size of bees. We finished our nine holes about 8 p.m. and quickly hit the Benadryl. Then the next night, knowing what had occurred the night before, we hit the same golf course with the same mos- quitoes at the same time, only this time with a cart thinking we could outrun the bugs. Only in Canada. Canada Day was a trip to a few farmers’ markets where everyone was wearing red, despite the threat of rain. Oh, and did I mention the barbecue never seemed to be turned off all long weekend? Watching Canada Day fireworks meant a walk up to Garnet B. Rickard arena in Clar- ington where the weather may have caused some people to stay home early on. But by the time the first boom was heard at 9:45 p.m. the park was packed and the oohs and aahs from an appreciative audience didn’t stop for the next 20 minutes. The long Can- ada Day weekend may not have been filled with anything spectacular at my house but I can safely say it was very Canadian. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston is still using willpower to stop scratching his mosquito bites. So many issues, where to begin? To the editor: After reading recent letters to the edi- tor, I have concluded that some people in Durham Region must lay awake at night trying to think of things to complain about. Regarding the search for better green bins: There is a simple effective lock on the bin. Regarding the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl: Chernobyl’s disaster in the Ukraine was caused by unqualified peo- ple attempting an unauthorized test while another group was testing the cool- ant levels. Regarding logic and dandelions: There was no logic to that argument. Regarding bus schedules: I don’t know about other routes but I can set my watch when the bus hums by.

Hopefully that won't be the case going forward. With the end of the school year came acceptance of a Memorandum of Under- standing by the Elementary Teachers' Fed- eration of Ontario (ETFO) members. The new deal overrides terms imposed in Bill 115, the controversial legislation at the heart of the unrest in local public schools and the cause of the withdrawal of many school trips, after-school sports and other extra-curricular activities. Bill 115, which was passed in Septem- ber 2012, called on the Ontario Second- ary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) and the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario to negotiate new contracts with their local school boards by Dec. 31. They were instructed to reach a deal similar to one signed between the Province and the Ontario Elementary Catholic Teachers' Association, which included a wage freeze and a reduction in sick days and benefits. The contracts were imposed in January. The new memorandum, supported by 91 per cent of ETFO members participat- ing in an online vote, includes a two per cent wage increase in September 2014 -- bringing them in line with what teachers in other publicly funded elementary schools receive -- better benefits, but also unpaid days off. ETFO locals and school boards will now work to append the memorandum to their collective agreements. Some bitterness will linger for some teachers, as it always does. Likewise, some parent volunteers, students, and principals will never totally forget the actions some teachers took in support of their unions, but hopefully, the worst is over and things will go back to normal come September. At the end of the day both sides gained something. The union made its point and got terms in the bill overturned. The Province still faces a huge deficit, but it made some gains as well. In the simplest terms, teachers got more than they would have with Bill 115, and the Province got more than it would have had the bill never been introduced. Hopefully, this compromise will provide a period of labour peace for those who really matter: students. t is the kids, not the teachers or govern- ment of today, who will decide this prov- ince and country's future. Let's make sure that this year they have everything they need to become well- rounded people and leaders. Wistfully watching whales Like scaling Everest, walking the El Cami- no or going into the office with the back of your dress tucked into your pantyhose, get- ting up close and personal with humpback whales is a life-altering experience. On my recent foray to Newfoundland, I was lucky enough to see dozens of these magnificent creatures feeding, diving and generally having a whale of a time in the spectacularly wild and beautiful north Atlantic. When one ventures out onto the ocean to whale watch there are immediately several fairly dramatic transformations one experiences. First and foremost, the unfathomable vast- ness and terrifying power of the sea around you tends to put things into quick perspec- tive. We are ants on this planet. Very pow- erful and sometimes ignorantly destructive ants, to be sure, but still, we are pusillani- mously diminutive in comparison to most of what was here before us and will likely be here after us if we keep up with the shenani- gans. Secondly, unless one is so irreparably jaded as to be rendered insensate, the mind- blowing beauty of the sea, sky and shore- line, not to mention the wind and the waves, leaves one literally breathless. In my case I was transformed into a goggle-eyed two year old. I spent the first hour of the adven- ture bouncing up and down and excitedly gesticulating with an outstretched arm and index finger, happily blurting profundities like ‘Pretty’, ‘Look’ and ‘Oh boy.’ But this is what happens when we come face to salt-sprayed face with majesty. It is wonderfully and importantly overwhelm- ing. And I’ve come to realize that we humans need a dose of that now and again. We need to be reminded that we are not ‘all that and a bag of chips’. That, while we are decidedly magnificent creatures, we are still only a part of an even grander, more awesome scheme. There is real wisdom in grasping that. Fortunately we have some pretty remark- able teachers. As I say, I saw dozens of them over a couple of days, but I honestly felt that every single humpback that spouted and breached and dove in front of me had a lit- tle, freely given intelligence to offer. I was too far away to prove it, but I’d swear a lot of them were winking. I am a big believer in Jung’s collective unconscious. The idea that we humans and everything else that has ever lived, breathed, grown and existed on this plan- et, make deposits into and can withdraw from a vast ethereal repository of every idea, thought or experience ever felt by anything. That knowledge and wisdom is there for us to enlighten ourselves if we care to. But we have to care, too. As humans, we are rela- tive newcomers to this planet. But whales are old. Very old. In fact, no one knows the extent of the understanding they carry in their DNA, the ancient stories of this world that they have passed down from genera- tion to barnacled generation. If all of this sounds like a lot of New Age tripe, then may I suggest you go and watch the whales. But don’t go to a zoo or an aquarium. The only stories being told in those places are stories of fear and captivi- ty and anxiety. Go see them where they live. Where they play and eat and thrive. Where the young are told the tales. Where the wis- dom is handed down. Put yourself in the middle of their ocean. Observe the abso- lute harmony in which they exist with their world, our world. Let them thrill you, teach you, bring you back. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

Have your say on Facebook Sasquatch story stirs up several comments... Featured Letter WIN! A Tim Hortons gift card if you are the Featured Letter author Tragedy averted ...this time To the editor: I had heard about a two year old perish- ing after being left in a hot car. I cried for a child I did not know because whatever the reason, it should not have happened. That next day, my daughter and I came out of an Oshawa store to see a young child, about three, behind the steering wheel of a van parked next to mine. We did not see an adult in the passenger seat, so my daughter looked in and saw two other babies in the back that looked to be one and two, scream- ing their hearts out, with no adult present. The windows were rolled up tight. We called 911 and promised we would wait. In the meantime an adult female came back to the van, with her bag of merchandise. Not once did she show remorse for her actions. We explained that the police were called and she said, “Fine, let them come.” We told her about the death of the two-year-old in a vehicle and the fact that one should never leave children unattended. She drove off, but we did make sure the police had her licence plate number. Strangers who overheard the commotion told us how sweet it was of us to do some- thing. I would rather have not had to report anyone because it never should have hap- pened. The woman was lucky that nothing happened to those children -- this time. What was so important to buy that she would put those children in danger? Wheth- er is was hot, cold, humid or perfect outside, you don’t leave children unattended, no matter where you are. A.M.

It really must be a slow news week....I have to wonder if your all just looking for anything to smear Durham Police.....Secondly I myself would also think that was the stupidest reason for being out there......Bigfoot??? Really??? Thirdly.....The officer was dispatched to check out a report of suspicious activity in the area SO TO ALL THOSE COP HAT- ERS! THEY WERE OUT DOING THEIR JOB.... Josh March: I’m not suprised the cops were like that. Majority of Durham cops are on a power trip and would do anything to rough someone up. It happend to me waiting for a cab on a curb. Kim Young: I am relieved this complete idiot wasn’t trespassing on my property. Whatever would have been left of him after my guard dog found him would have been placed under citizens arrest. If he was car- rying a “survival knife “ with him he would have been considered armed and dealt with accordingly. As for his story of search- ing for Big Foot....you would have to be a bigger idiot than he is to believe that B.S. Lifeis Tooshort: Thank you newsdurham for making me laugh. Robert Meiusi: Stupid!!!

Herearesometips to help residentsandwildlifepeacefully coexist: •Garbage should always be stored in animal-proof containers, and kept indoors until the morning of pick-up. •Do not feed wildlife (wild animals are attracted to bird seed and other food sources).Fe eding small and cute critters can also attract larger and more aggressive animals. •Do not allow pets to run freely; keep them on a leash; and clean up after your pets as coyotes and other animals are attracted to animal feces. Never approach or touch wildlife unnecessarily.Leave babies alone, even if it appears the parents have abandoned them.While baby birds often appear abandoned when they are learning to fly,their parents are usually close by monitoring them. Remain calm if you encounter a wild animal. Back away slowly, and do not turn your back or run away. Do not allow your pet to interact with wildlife.Animals such as coyotes are attracted to dogs that are not spayed or neutered. Keep your property well maintained to deter wildlife fromtakingup residence.Long grass,weeds, and easy access into and under structures make perfect homes for wild animals.July4 Caughtinthe Crossfire Thursday Evenings at the Lake 7:00 pm –9:00 pm at PickeringMillennium Square.

But Mr. Ganderton said only the Ajax- Pickering campus’s leadership, administra- tion and “back office” departments would be affected by the merger, being studied by a joint committee of RVHS and TSH. “We’re not going to move (medical) servic- es from Scarborough to Ajax-Pickering and we’re not going to move Ajax-Pickering ser- vices to Scarborough,” if a merger is approved, he pledged. “If you’ve got it today, you’ll have it tomorrow.” Everything done at the Centenary, Gen- eral and Birchmount sites, however, will be examined in the study, the $1.1-million cost of which the hospitals will split. The committee, checking each hos- pital’s buildings and finances, will start an “engagement” phase in August. The CEOs, members of the group along with hospital board chair- persons Stephen Smith and Joan Wideman, say they’ve learned lessons from the past, including the discontented reaction in 2005 to a temporary transfer of pediatrics and obstetrics from the Ajax site to Centenary, and from a merger study Mr. Biron’s prede- cessor Dr. John Wright initiated between TSH and Toronto East General Hospital. That merger study, Mr. Biron said, failed because it “took everybody by surprise.” It was shelved in 2012, despite a favourable consultant’s report, by both hospital boards after opposition from medical staff, residents, and the LHIN, which did not want to see TSH merge with an East York hospital outside its jurisdiction. After TSH proposed reorganizations of its campuses this year -- plans a LHIN-appoint- ed expert panel later dismissed as too risky -- the LHIN steered TSH and RVHS towards integration. As provincial funds for hospitals “flatline” and costs rise three to five per cent each year, standing pat is not an option, said Mr. Biron, but he added he sees no value in asking stake- holders if they want to merge. Community engagement for the study won’t include town hall-style meetings with “yelling matches” and microphones, he said. “That is not engagement.” “We’re not going to go out and ask for per- mission,” said Mr. Ganderton, but he said the committee will seek guidance on a merger’s potential risks and benefits. Though it can be approved only by the Province, the CEOs said they see a merger as a natural fit. Hospitals offering higher volumes of a med- ical service can expect higher quality and are more competitive against other hospitals, they say. All three campuses in Scarborough are aging and need substantial capital investment and can better get funding as one cluster, Mr. Biron and Mr. Ganderton add. Centenary and Birchmount have emergency rooms built for less than half their current patient numbers, while operating rooms at Centenary and the General aren’t up to current standards. Mr. Biron acknowledged fears the future of the Birchmount emergency room is not being guaranteed after a merger. “I think it’s a legiti- mate discussion point we need to have with our stakeholders,” he said. Mr. Ganderton, however, said of now, “none of the (emergency) facili- ties (in Scarborough) has the capacity to take over any of the other’s work. Noth- ing’s going to change in the short term.” The study must demonstrate access to care and quality would at least be maintained at a merged hospital, or a merger won’t happen, he promised. Ganderton says ‘nothing’s going to change in the short term’ at Ajax-Pickering hospital GANDERTON from page 1 Robert Biron ‘‘We’re not going to move (medical) services from Scarborough to Ajax-Pickering and we’re not going to move Ajax-Pickering services to Scarborough.’ Rik Ganderton DINING OUT ADVERTISING FEATURE In Ajax & Pickering Over the last twenty years or so, Durham Region residents have received a variety of benefits from the various cultures that have become part of our community. One of those benefits is the cuisine. And one of the most successful cuisines to make its mark in the area is that of sushi or Japanese food. One of the best examples of sushi restaurants in the area are the two locations of Makimono Japanese Restaurant with locations in Ajax and Pickering. Makimono Pickering features an ambience that appeals to a younger crowd as well as families and more mature customers. Their menu offers a variety of raw and cooked dishes including such favorites as Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura and Bento Boxes. And as many of their staff has lived in Japan, they bring an authentic Japanese style of cooking to every dish. Makimono Pickering and Ajax both offer All-You-Can Eat and a-la- carte dining, take-out, delivery and party trays. Makimono Pickering can accommodate groups of up to 60 people and functions for up to 130 people. Both locations of Makimono are open Monday through Thursday from 11:30am to 10:30pm, Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30am to 11pm and Sundays Noon to 10:30pm. All-You-Can-Eat lunches start at $13.99 per adult while All-You- Can-Eat dinners are $20.99 per adult. Some restrictions apply. Makimono Ajax is located at 50 Kingston Road East (RioCan Durham Centre), just east of Harwood Avenue (905-427-2726) while the Pickering location is at 1790 Liverpool Road on the west side between the 401 and Kingston Road (905-831-0355). www.makimono.ca Summer Dining Includes Sushi!

Why do those beds look so cozy, so inviting, so finished while ours look flat and boring? The designer secret is simple: it’s all in the layering. Just like fashion designers tell us, layers are key to making a stylish bed (and outfit for that matter). Start with some solid basics -- you can never go wrong with crisp white sheets. White mixes well with pretty much everything and you’ll never get tired of them. Plus, they’re what comes in contact most with your skin so if you want to invest in high-quality sheets, it makes sense to spend money on something that’s timeless. Next, find a duvet cover that’s just, well...dreamy! Maybe embrace this year’s romantic florals with water- colour hues like aqua, raspberry and spring green like the duvet shown here. Whether your duvet cover has pattern or not, make sure it has interest through colour or texture. Now start making the bed with your white sheets and pret- ty duvet and don’t forget to fold the bedding back to reveal the crisp sheets. Add an accent pattern or colour with a throw pillow and bed skirt. A small graphic design like this one offsets the large scale floral and repeats one of the main colours for cohesion. Remember the white sheets keep things in balance and from getting too crazy. Top things off with a couple of shams in a solid fabric or repeat the patterns for extra height and that read-in-bed comfort you crave. Finally, don’t forget the headboard! I like how this upholstered example is simple and neutral so you can let the bedding sing (and so you can switch things up when the mood strikes). You can go for classic stained wood, something painted or upholstered, but a headboard really finishes things off nicely and adds that a real ta-da! If you remember the layers (sheets, duvet cover, accent cushions, bed skirt, shams and headboard) you’ll build a bed that’s not only the ultimate in comfort but also the ulti- mate in designer style.

Now, it’s a full-time gig for the Whitby resident. With his retirement at OPG, Goodwin’s free time will be taken up behind the bench of the North Bay Battalion after joining the OHL club as an assistant coach. “I’m definitely excited. I can’t wait. I wish it was starting tomorrow,” he says of the new opportunity and challenge that awaits. “When I was a head coach and assistant (in the OHL) I still was working. Our kids were young and we were running from one rink to another. This will be a chance to focus on the North Bay Battal- ion and not have another job. This is it. “I’m rejuvenated. It’s the first time I’ve been able to have hockey as the only thing I’m doing. This will be my sole focus, so it will be exciting.” Goodwin, 51, spent three seasons as head coach of the Oshawa Generals from 1997-2000. As a junior hockey player he spent three seasons with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, winning the Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy as the league’s top scorer with 56 goals and 110 assists for 166 points in just 68 games during the 1980-81 season. He spent time in the AHL with Nova Scotia, New Haven and St. Catharines, as well as the IHL with Peo- ria. He was also the head coach of the Pickering Panthers for one season in 2010- 11. His relationship with Battalion GM/ head coach Stan Butler goes back to his days with the Oshawa Generals. Goodwin joined the Generals as an assistant under Rich Cornacchia for one season, and held the same position the following two sea- sons when Butler took over as head coach. The two have remained in contact over the years. When retirement became an option and with his kids now independent, Good- win talked it over with his wife about the timing being right to return to the OHL. He reached out to Butler in late March or early April, he says. “I let it be known to Stan that I knew they were moving (from Brampton to North Bay) and if there was an opening to let me know,” he says. When Battalion assistant coach Jason Ward opted not to make the move north, the door opened for Goodwin. “Then it was just a matter of making the decision to retire and go up there,” he says. “It came up pretty quick.” Noted for his offensive skill set, Good- win says his responsibilities will be with the forwards and the power play. “He knew how to put the puck in the net as a player, and hopefully he can work with our power play to make that better,” said Butler in a press release. “I hope he can help our young forwards understand more about having success offensively. “We have some guys with the potential to be good offensive players, and hope- fully working with John can really help them.” Goodwin says his family will keep its Whitby home, and that he will rent a place in North Bay, where he has signed a four- year deal. WHITBY -- John Goodwin has been named an assistant coach of the North Bay Battalion of the Ontario Hockey League. Goodwin was the head coach of the Oshawa Generals for three seasons and the Pickering Panthers for one. He just recently retired from OPG. ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland‘‘I’m definitely excited. I can’t wait. I wish it was starting tomorrow.’ John Goodwin Golf Meghan Bennett tops at junior golf championships LONDON -- A three-under par total of 141 (71-70) was enough to lift Meghan Bennett of Pickering to a one-stroke victory in the junior girls’ division at the Ontario Junior Champion- ships in London. This past weekend’s stop on the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour was at the Forest City National Golf Club. Bennett, 18, fought a tough battle with Madison Easterbrook, 17, of Burlington, to tri- umph by one stroke and win the MJT-Ontario PGA Junior Girls Champion’s title with her three-under-par total. “I stuck a lot of wedges over the past two days which led to birdies,” said Bennett in a press release, who receives an exemption into the Beth Daniel Junior Azalea at Charles- ton Country Club in South Carolina with her win. “It feels awesome (to win) and now I have a lot of confidence going into my next event, the Ontario Junior (Championship).” football Summer touch football league looking for players AJAX -- A summer touch football league is looking for teams to play under the lights on Wednesday night’s at Denis O’Connor High School in Ajax starting July 10 or 17.

SAVE TIME, SAVE MONEY View Flyers/Coupons At Pair of Gens selected at NHL draft Cole Cassels picked in third round by Vancouver Canucks, Josh Brown sixth round by Florida Panthers OSHAWA -- It’s been a busy few days for the Oshawa Generals. Two days after seeing Cole Cassels and Josh Brown drafted into the National Hockey League, the Generals acquired the rights to another NHL draft pick, import Artur Gavrus, from the Owen Sound Attack. Prior to that, the Generals also saw centre Scott Laughton invited to the Canada’s world junior team develop- ment camp and three prospects, Mitch- ell Vande Sompel, Sam Harding and Ian Johnston, invited to the final Ontario under-17 camp. And, for those who end up playing for the Generals this coming season, they now know exactly when that will be with the announcement of the 2013-14 OHL schedule last week. The most recent news, the addition of Gavrus, sees the Generals sending a con- ditional 14th round pick in the 2014 OHL draft to Owen Sound. “Artur is a skilled player who will add to our offence and be especially valuable on the power play,” said general manag- er Jeff Twohey in a press release. “He’s an import player who is already familiar with the league which should make for an easy transition.” A native of Belarus, Gavrus had 15 goals and 37 points in 45 games as a rookie in the 2011-12 season, and eight goals and 14 points in 21 games last year, after rejoining the Attack late in the season. He was selected in the sixth round of the 2012 NHL draft by the New Jersey Devils. Cassels, son of former NHL’er Andrew Cassels, went in the third round of Sun- day’s draft, 85th overall to the Vancou- ver Canucks. The 18-year-old second- year centre had 15 goals and 43 points in 64 games with the Generals last season, nearly four times more than his rookie campaign. “Cole steadily progressed with us this year and was a major contributor to our success especially when we were deci- mated by injuries,” said Twohey. “Cole is a smart, creative two-way centre that is emerging as one of our leadership group moving forward, a good pick by Vancou- ver.” Brown, a six-foot-five, 210-pound defenceman, was selected in the sixth round by the Florida Panthers, a year after he was first eligible. He played in all 68 regular season games last season with the Generals and was a plus-17 with 16 points, all assists. “Josh deserves so much credit for his contributions to our team this sea- son,” said Twohey. “He was under the radar all season except for those of us that watched him on a daily basis. He is a quiet leader and brings a steady pres- ence on our blue-line.” The Generals will kick off the OHL sea- son in Windsor Sept. 19, the first of three straight road games. They will welcome the Kitchener Rangers to the General Motors Centre for the home opener Sun- day, Sept. 29, at 6:05 p.m. The Generals will also play exhibition games Sept. 8 against the Niagara IceDogs in Whitby, Sept. 10 against the Peterbor- ough Petes in Ajax and Sept. 11 against the Kingston Frontenacs in Pickering.OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals centre Cole Cassels was drafted in the third round of the National Hockey League draft by the Vancouver Canucks. Metroland file photo Taijah Campbell named to development women’s national basketball team AJAX -- Taijah Campbell of Ajax has been named to the development women’s national basketball team that will represent Canada at the 2013 FISU Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia. The team, consisting of student-athletes from across the nation, will wear the red and white at the largest sporting competition out- side of the Olympics. Head coach Fabian McKenzie looks for- ward to the upcoming competition. “We have a diverse group of young ath- letes from all corners of the country who have become a cohesive unit and are work- ing very hard to represent Canada in a first- class manner.” Campbell, 19, who graduated from Pickering High School, just completed her freshman season on scholarship at Virginia Tech. She played in 17 games this season, 15 as a starter, but an injury kept her on the sidelines for a dozen games. Canada will play in a series of scrim- mages in Kazan in advance of the 27th FISU Summer Universiade. Also known as the World University Games, the competition will open with Canada matching up against Japan on Monday, July 8. Canada will also play the Ukraine and Taipei. The quarter- finals will begin on Friday, July 12 with the semifinals the day after. The gold medal game goes Monday, July 15. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 3 , 2 0 1 3 24 AP NEW!NEW!DISCOVER IMPROVE ACHIEVE Oshawa: 200 John St. W. oshawatrucking.com � �� 4-month internship with leading-edge transportation companies � �� Introduction to Supply Chain & Logistics � �� Commercial Driver Improvement (Defensive Driving) Course Certificate � Air Brake Training � 50 hours of one-on-one in-cab instruction � Training on state-of-the-art 3D simulators 40WEEKS PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORT OPERATOR � �� Air Brake Training � Commercial Driver Improvement (Defensive Driving) Course Certificate � Preparation for AZ Class license � Training on state-of-the-art 3D simulators 8WEEKS TRACTOR-TRAILER (AZ) Member of:Delivered inPartnership with: Courses include a diploma from theTruck Training Schools Association of Ontario (TTSAO).
