Durham Region Transit has cancelled its restricted student bus pass, so students now have to pay $86.50 per month for an unlim- ited pass. The old restricted pass cost Dur- ham District School Board students $51 per month, and gave them busing from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays. “I can’t help but think there are families that are going to find this particularly hard, especially those with two going to school,” said Ajax mother Cynthia Hawkins. In February, Durham Region council voted to raise the bulk bus pass pricing for Dur- ham school boards from $49.50 to $74 per pass. At the time, the public board charged a small administrative free, selling the pass for $51 to students, and the Catholic board sold it at cost. “Essentially the school boards decided not to go down that route and purchase the bulk rate,” said Durham Region Transit general manager Vincent Patterson. Durham Catholic District School Board superinten- dent Ryan Putnam explained $74 was a far greater cost than boards providing their own bus- ing on traditional yellow and black school buses, the route both boards chose to take. The cost per student is roughly on par with the bulk cost of bus passes at $49.50 each. But not every student qualifies for school board bus ser- vice. “It’s been challenging,” Mr. Putnam said. Mr. Patterson said last year, a num- ber of students chose to upgrade to the unrestricted pass, since they would use it to travel on weekends and to and from after-school jobs or extracurricular activities. Parents are also upset that the public board has set a policy that students living more than four kilo- metres from school will receive bus- ing provided by the board, but those who live closer have to find their own way to and from school. “It’s about a 45-minute walk to school every morning,” said Ajax mother Jenny Cruxton. Ticket to ride jacked AJAX -- Students living less than four kilometres from Ajax High School have to walk to school if they cannot afford the bus pass that costs $86 per month. Parents of the chil- dren living in this area claim it takes around 45 minutes each way.

It’s all apart of an 85-day, 8,260-kilome- tre bicycle tour across the country on behalf of their friend Craig Aucoin, who is raising money for charity. Mr. Aucoin was diagnosed with retinitis pig- mentosa at the age of eight. The inherited and degenerative eye disease, which causes severe vision impairment and often blindness, really took over at the age of 16, when he was told he could never drive a car. Mr. Aucoin believed that was the end of his independence. After withdrawing from society and suffering from depression and weight gain, he finally decided to turn his life around. By his mid-twenties, Mr. Aucoin sought the help of three organizations: CNIB, Cana- dian Guide Dogs for the Blind, where he met his guide dog Baldwin, and YMCA Canada. On Aug. 4 in St. John’s Newfoundland, Mr. Aucoin began the ride of a lifetime: a bike ride across the entire country to raise funds for three organizations that made a major impact on his life. Unfortunately, only after four days into the tour, Mr. Aucoin returned home due to an achilles tendon injury. Despite the major set- back, the ride continued on for his two friends Mr. McLean and Mr. MacDonald. The team made a pit stop at Home Hard- ware in Oshawa on Sept. 4. Mr. McLean is the sighted guide cyclist who sits in the front. “We want to promote able- bodied people to come out and be guide cyclists or runners, whether it’s through CNIB, or other local organizations that do tandem bike rides or running,” he said. “Because of these charities, Craig is able to live indepen- dently today.” In total, the team hopes to raise $300,000. “We think it’s just wonderful. It raises aware- ness about blind and visually impaired indi- viduals and embodies that they are able to do things that people who do not have vision loss can do...Our mandate is independence. We try to encourage clients to be independent in their lives and in their communities,” said Rose Kitney, regional manager, service and operations for CNIB Durham. Mr. MacDonald rides on the back. He joined Mr. McLean for the ride in North Syd- ney, Nova Scotia. He was also diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at the age of 32. After slip- ping into depression, Mr. MacDonald started training with his bike eight years ago. “To me, it’s you get on that bike and just pedal...It’s just refreshing, clear. If your heart is pumping and your brain is not thinking, you can’t think about negatives and being down on yourself. The ride is upbeat. A healthy body is a healthy mind,” said Mr. MacDonald. The two men are well over 3,000 kilometres into the ride and have completed approxi- mately 40 per cent of the tour. They have received widespread attention both online and on the road. A “Craig Gives Back” Face- book page and website has been tracking the team’s progress. It’s hard to imagine, but the team has had to haul all of their own gear, body weight and heavy bike along the journey. The bicycle, an Altena Janus recumbant back-to-back tan- dem, was imported from Holland. Unlike a standard bike, on the recumbent you can’t stand on the pedals and use gravity to your advantage. The men say on this model, it’s all muscle power. “The muscle pains do go away eventual- ly and Advil liquid gels really do help a lot,” chuckled Mr. MacDonald. The two hope once they hit Calgary, Mr. Aucoin will rejoin them after undergoing enough rehab. “I don’t care if Craig is in a body cast, he’ll be strapped on the back of this bike, going the last 30 kilometres to finish,” said Mr. McLean. “Cause this is Craig gives back.” WATCH the video story @ durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Lloyd McLean and Bob MacDonald, who have been travelling across country to raise funds for the CNIB, Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind and YMCAs in Canada, stopped at Home Hardware in Oshawa Sept. 4 before continuing their ride. The ride began with the efforts of blind cyclist Craig Aucoin who credits the organiza- tions for saving his life, but, due to an injury, he will be re-joining the Craig Gives Back team later in the ride.

Durham police Chief Mike Ewles told members of the police services board the senior officer, who so far has not been named, will answer to a charge of discredit- able conduct Oct. 1. “The officer is facing what I deem to be serious misconduct charges,” the chief said Monday, adding an investigation into the Twitter affair included considering grounds for criminal charges. “There were none,” said Chief Ewles. The controversy erupted in early August when a series of crude statements appeared on Twitter, criticizing Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin over comments he’d made about police use of force strategies. Mr. Marin quickly fired back, saying the account from which the remarks were sent was traced back to Detective Constable Scott Dennis, a fraud investigator. A subsequent probe by Durham police revealed another officer was responsible for sending the tweets, and had set up the account in Det. Const. Dennis’s name with- out his knowledge. The chief told reporters Monday the inci- dent is troubling, especially considering the officer now facing charges was in a super- visory role (he was immediately relieved of those duties, the Chief said). “Our supervisors we definitely hold to a higher standard,” he said. The Chief said he doesn’t know why Det.- Const. Dennis was apparently set up by a colleague. He wouldn’t comment on whether or not the two officers work together. The accused officer has been ordered to appear at a Police Services Act tribunal Oct. 1 in Whitby. A senior OPP officer will act as hearing officer. Sanctions for a finding of guilt on a charge of discreditable conduct can include dis- missal, the Chief said. An investigation continues and more charges are possible, he said. Durham Regional Police Association Pres- ident Randy Henning said the union is obli- gated to fund the accused officer’s defence. He’ll be represented at the hearing by law- yer Joseph Markson. Mr. Henning wouldn’t comment on the odd circumstances of the allegations -- an officer accused of using the identity of a fel- low cop, apparently to advance political views. “I haven’t heard the officer’s side of the story so I don’t know,” he said. “We’re police officers,” said Mr. Henning. “We’re firm believers in getting both sides of the story.” Police services board chairman Roger Anderson credited Durham police with aggressively pursuing the investigation into the Twitter flap. “The ethics and behaviour of our men and women is paramount,” he said. Mr. Anderson also slammed Mr. Marin for making comments about the police service and the board, saying the Ombudsman had never contacted him personally. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 1 1 , 2 0 1 3 3 AP WE KEEP OUR PATIENTS SMILING BY TAKINGTHE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS.

Durham police issued 2,070 tickets for infractions committed in school zones between Sept. 3 and 6. Most of the tickets -- 1,502 -- were for speeding, while another 50 notices were issued for distracted driving, police said. The Back In The Zone initiative is an annu- al effort by police to enforce safe driving hab- its, particularly in school zones. “It’s proven to be effective and so it has con- tinued to be an anticipated and a welcomed program in the community,” said Sergeant Nancy van Rooy. “Everybody wants that reminder to be strong and efficient.” In Ontario, speeding fines double in areas identified as community safety zones, as well as school zones. Police are reminding drivers to slow down and remain mindful of all signs, especially in school zones and areas where children could be walking or playing.

I saw the video of the driver after the acci- dent, clutching his heart and pacing before throwing himself on the back of the police cruiser. Perhaps it’s because I just went through something I wished I could have taken back that I sympathize with him. It made me think of the death sentence we often receive through our own guilt and ‘unforgiveness’ or that which oth- ers condemn us with. It may be justified, but I heard a quote the other day by Chip Ingram that said “holding on to unforgive- ness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” That sounds ridiculous but what a vivid description of what actually happens. My faith in Christ also makes me thank- ful that I can be forgiven, forgive myself and others too. If you happen to still be able to forgive, I can’t say “just do it” like it’s a snap. But at least be thankful that you can forgive whether it’s yourself or some- one else because it means you’re still alive to do so. There may come a time when we can’t and we only wish we could or did. Renae Jarrett Ajax Marijuana debate all wrong To the editor: It is a little unnerving when high-ranking politicians come out of the marijuana clos- et and claim they have had past experience of taking the drug. It is even more upsetting when they almost boast of having done so, such as Mayor Rob Ford’s admission that he has done it many times. Nor does it sit well with many of the elec- torate when Justin Trudeau says he has smoked the mind-altering substance even while working as an MP. Premier Kathleen Wynne is only a little more discreet, claim- ing indulgence many years ago. What they have failed to do (as far as I know) is to admit their involvement in cre- ating a market for the drug. Even if they imbibed at a friend’s house, someone usu- ally had to buy the pot from a dealer. Unfortunately, gangs have formed to market the drug with resulting gun vio- lence over territorial matters. It is heartbreaking to watch the mothers of young men cry on TV because their sons have become casualties of the drug wars. Nor would making marijuana legal help. It would still be illegally sold on the street, minus any sales tax. What would be helpful is if politicians worked to get society off drug dependence in the first place. George Heron Ajax Drivers need to slow down, use common sense It’s startling -- frightening actually -- the number of tickets Durham Regional Police has given out to drivers speeding through school zones. The police initiative dubbed ‘In the Zone’ is an annual program designed to catch speeders in and around school zones while helping keep students safe on their way to and from Durham Region schools. The traffic safety blitz started on the first day of school, Sept. 3, and continued for four days around local schools. Which brings us to the shocking numbers -- 2,070 tickets, yes, 2,070, were handed out during the four-day traffic safety blitz. Most of these 2,070 tickets, 1,502, were for speeding, but 50 of these tickets were issued for distracted driving -- a $155 fine under the Highway Traffic Act. By any definition, these numbers can only be described as alarming, knowing full well that any driver worth his or her salt knows that extreme caution must be exer- cised while passing through school zones. Even hardened police officers, who’ve probably seen it all on the roadways of Durham Region, were surprised by the sheer volume of tickets handed out in the early going of the safety blitz. “During the morning conference call, which happens daily Monday to Friday to our divisions and leaders, everybody was like ‘Wow,’” says Sergeant Nancy van Rooy of Durham Regional Police, regarding the high number of infractions in just a few days. We don’t need to be reminded of the fall- out when drivers fail to use caution on the roads near school zones. Tragedy ensues, as it did in Toronto on the first day of school this year when a Toronto teen lost her life en route to school, after being struck by a truck. Could the same thing happen here in Durham Region? Absolutely. We’re just lucky tragedy hasn’t struck already given the number of motorists who feel the need for speed through our neighbourhoods. And for those motorists who feel the need to text and check cell phone messages while driving, please do the right thing and put your handheld devices down. Those messages will still be ready to respond to when, and if, you make it to work safely. The need for such a police blitz is obvi- ous as Durham drivers have certainly thrown caution to the wind where it per- tains to school zones in the early going of the school year. Let’s hope this was all just a bad week for motorists adjusting to a new school year. Let’s hope police do not have to make ‘In the Zone’ a regular traffic safety program. Let’s hope everyone who got a ticket from police last week learned a lesson and slowed down. Let’s hope no student gets killed walking to school because of some- thing so unnecessary as speeding. Come on, people! Slow down and take care to ensure our students have a safe environment getting to and going home from their classes. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Four-way stop shows what kind of people we really are The four-way stop is a very telling expe- rience. It’s like a vehicular Rorschach test. How we behave upon arriving at a four-way: the good, the bad and the ugly, speaks vol- umes about the kind of individuals we real- ly are. Believe it or not, whatever you do at the junction of those four roadways, how you comport yourself, especially at those moments when three other drivers have met you at such a crossroads, is a fairly accurate snapshot of how you’re living the rest of your life. To fully understand how this plays out, it is necessary to briefly re-cap the official, Ministry of Transportation guidelines for behaviour at a four-way. Here, verbatim, are the directives from the MTO Driver’s Hand- book: “At an intersection with stop signs at all corners, you must yield the right-of-way to the first vehicle to come to a complete stop. If two vehicles stop at the same time, the vehicle on the left should yield to the vehicle on the right.” As you can see, on paper this is not a ter- ribly convoluted process. It seems remark- ably straightforward. That is, of course, until we put human beings into the equation. Consider the A Type driver. That self- absorbed, navel gazer who enters the inter- section with an emotional and mental agen- da so profoundly pressing that it renders the arrival times of all other drivers present completely moot. There could be an ambu- lance, fire truck and a fully loaded famine relief vehicle already queued up to go and the A Type will still find a way to be the first one through. Nothing trumps his idiotic pri- orities. At the opposite end of the scale we have those drivers who seem to be forever apolo- gizing to every other person on the road for their very existence. One of these unfortu- nate, nervous creatures can tie up a four- way interminably with their frantic flapping of arms and unrelenting insistence that everyone else go first, regardless of their arrival time or, unfortunately, oncoming traffic. Then we have those graduates of the Oblivion Driving Academy. Individuals who are so completely preoccupied with their phone, iPod, breakfast, tweezers or mascara applicator that they are barely even cogni- zant of a stop sign in front of them, let alone the patient presence of other drivers. For your own safety it is best to let these individ- uals blithely pass in front of you. Although I will say that I have enjoyed a measure of retaliation on occasion by pretending to drive towards these people just far enough to make them panic and jam on their brakes. The pleasure at seeing them spill a scalding cup of Timmy’s in their lap or jab a small brush into their eye cannot be under- estimated. You can also, of course, as most of us have done, lay on the horn in righteous indignation at the imbecility of these indi- viduals, but inevitably all this will net you is that classically stupid look of ‘What?’ from the offending driver. Perhaps the real problem endemic to the four-way stop is a matter of seman- tics. When, for instance, was the last time you actually saw anyone come to a com- plete stop at an intersection? Modern driv- ers have made the rolling stop an art form. We’re all far too busy to waste precious seconds actually coming to a halt. Given that, perhaps the MTO instructions should read...you must yield the right-of-way to the first vehicle to kinda, sorta come to a stop. Think that will help? No, neither do I. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

TICO Registration #50020132 New York through the Ages New York is a city that has always changed with the years. From the jazz and architecture of the ‘20s to the fashion and technology of the ‘50s, here’s a look at what to do if you’re craving nostalgic New York. For a day in the life of the 1920s— America’s first era of true opulence—take a wander down Wall Street towards Broadway and the Woolworth building, one of the oldest skyscrapers in the country. From there, hop into a cab and head to Harlem for Charleston and flapper dress fun at the Cotton Club, a re-creation of a popular 1920s speakeasy. For Mad Men-style ‘50s adventure, go to NY Vintage on 117 W 25th Street for period fashion. Then hit up the Jackson Pollock exhibit at the MoMA before grabbing a slice of Lombardi’s pizza and listening to some Frank Sinatra while you stroll past Radio City Music Hall. For present-day New York, Do a Sex and the City walking tour or grab a bite at Torrisi Italian Specialties a favourite dining spot of Jay-Z.

Just ask my wife, my friends or my family. Or even some of my colleagues. They’ll tell you, I’m sure. We all have those kinds of moments and I’ve had my fair share, no doubt. The most recent one, though, was one I brought on myself. One I welcomed, even. I recently decided to trade in my notepad and recorder for jeans and a pair of work boots in an attempt to navigate my way through the 10-acre corn maze at Coopers Farms in Zephyr. Thousands of people do the same every year, and this season will surely be no different. I have to admit though that the 2013 version of the maze tour caught my eye for one sim- ple, sports-related reason. The centre of the maze has been cut out to mirror the logo of the Toronto Blue Jays. In a year that was sup- posed to see the Major League Baseball team return to relevance and challenge for its first World Series title in some 20 years, the Coo- pers thought what better way to draw people into the maze than by capturing the spirit of Jays fever that gripped southern Ontario this year -- at least until the under-achieving club hit the field and struggled mightily. One has to wonder if some of their players perhaps got lost in the Coopers’ maze, but that’s a tale for another day. This space is designed today to deal with my experience of touring the maze. And it was as advertised. Cool. Neat. Fun. Interesting. All those words and more. It was also challenging and frus- trating. Lisa Cooper, owner and operator of the maze with her husband Steve, met me and two of my colleagues, photographer Sabrina Byrnes and videographer Leeanna McLean, at the entrance of the maze and gave us a quick crash course of what to expect. Before entering, the three of us were pre- sented with a few options. We could enter through phase one, the easiest option for adults, phase two, apparently the much more difficult of the two, and then there was the Kids’ Zone. After pondering the decision for a moment, phase one was the choice, and away we went through the opening, twisting this way, turn- ing that way, all the while surrounded by nothing more than the dirt at our feet, the six- to-10-foot-high corn stocks and an overcast sky that threatened rain. For the first 10 or 15 minutes it was all smooth sailing and I’m thinking to myself, this is pretty easy. We’ll be done this in no time. On we went and I’m thinking now it’s about to get even easier as we approach one of the two hint questions placed in phase one. To find out where to head next, all I had to do was know the answer to the question of which back-to-back years the Blue Jays won the World Series. Easy: 1992-1993, of course. Who could forget Mike Timlin flipping the ball to Joe Carter against Atlanta in ‘92 to clinch the first of two titles, and Carter’s mon- umental walk-off home run to win the cham- pionship against Philadelphia a year later. After nailing the correct answer, at this point we’re roughly 20 minutes into what Ms. Coo- per told us was probably about a 40-minute tour. I’m figuring we’ll be done way ahead of that time frame. However, that was my first mistake. I got too far ahead of myself, literally and figuratively. Soon afterward I became as lost in the maze as Blue Jays’ catcher J.P. Arencibia often is at the plate. Zing. Trying to lead myself and my colleagues through the maze and to the wooden bridge lookout located in the middle, I swear we must have walked the same path at least a handful of times. It seemed just as we were making some headway, we would come across our own footprints that were head- ing in a different direction from our first trip around. Then the second, And third. And so on. It’s embarrassing to admit -- considering my passion for sports -- but part of the prob- lem was, I put up the wrong answer to the second question in the maze, asking which year the Jays were granted expansion into the MLB. I had 1977 in mind because that was their inaugural season, but in fact expansion was granted a year prior, in 1976. So yeah, I’ve got to say at this point, frustra- tion was setting in. I’m generally all over any kind of sports trivia questions and often pret- ty reliable when it comes to having a sense of direction. This just threw me for a loop and we began wondering at this point how much longer we would be walking in circles before the Coopers sent in a rescue party to extract the three lost media folk. Thankfully it didn’t come to that, though I have to admit we had to cheat the trail in order to avoid that fate. Having ended up in the same spot that was blocked off by a makeshift fence for at least the third time -- probably more -- I made the executive decision to scoot through the fence rather than trek back from where we came, which surely would have resulted in another circle or two walked. After scooting around the fence, we made our way to the bridge, climbed the stairs and enjoyed a bird’s eye view of the corn and trails that had entrapped us for the better part of the previous 40 minutes. Cheating aside, there was a sense of accom- plishment for having made our way to the bridge. Well, maybe excitement is a better word than accomplishment, but no matter how you slice it, we were there. Of course, the tour wasn’t over as we still had to find a way out. Despite a couple of wrong turns off the hop on that route, though, that proved to be a lot easier than the trip in. Within a few minutes we saw light at the end of the tunnel and Rocky Balboa-style, I stepped out of the maze, hands piercing the air above me with a smile on my face. Not a bad day at the office, I must say.

E · WHITBY MUSTGO From Page 1 Public board superintendent Mark Joel said the board chose to provide transporta- tion to students after unsuccessfully asking Durham Region Transit to keep its student pass at a low cost. “We spoke up against (the increased cost) on multiple occasions,” he said. Earlier this year, as Regional council was considering the increased transit fee for students, Durham finance commissioner Jim Clapp told politicians that transporting high school students “is a major cost to the taxpayer. The adjustment in the rate is to reduce the cost to the taxpayer.” Mr. Joel pointed out board-provided bus- ing for public high school students is new this year. In the past, only students with special needs, or those with no access to public transit, received the service. The board chose four kilometres since it’s the Ministry of Education’s standard, he said. But parents point out that the Durham Catholic board buses high school stu- dents living more than 3.2 kilometres from school. The Kawartha Pine Ridge and the Peter- borough Victoria Northumberland Clar- ington Catholic district school boards also use the 3.2-kilometre limit. “What I’d like to see is the (public board) to be more responsible with budgeting and more imaginative to solve the problem to make it equally distributive of the student body within their catchment,” said Ms. Hawkins. Mr. Joel said the four-kilometre mark used up the board’s transportation budget. “To go any less than 4.0, we would have been in a situation where we would have had to take money from other programs to fund transportation,” he said. If the board were to extend the area to 3.2 kilometres, it would cost $1.6 million per year, according to a staff report. The four- kilometre policy is costing $600,000 annu- ally in busing costs. Parents have also shared safety concerns on the route south Ajax kids take to walk to Ajax High, including traffic and path safe- ty, as well as some nearby construction. Mr. Joel and Ajax Trustee Donna Edwards said these responsibilities should fall to the Town of Ajax or the police. However, Trustee Edwards successfully got the board to provide temporary busing to students living in an area deemed unsafe due to construction, and she plans to raise the parents’ issues at the Sept. 16 public school board meeting. She is urging parents and students to con- tact their regional councillors for a change to the cost.

The incident was among a number of reports about suspicious activity near schools, Durham police said. They’ve issued a reminder to parents to talk to their kids about personal safe- ty. The Ajax incident occurred at about 2:45 p.m. in the vicinity of Brand Court and Top Street. Police said a 12-year-old boy was on his way home from Moth- er Teresa Catholic School when he was approached by a man who tried to grab him. The boy fought back and fled to his home nearby, police said. The suspect is white, 20 to 30, about five feet three inches with a medium build. He drove a dark blue Ford pick-up, police said. In another incident, at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, three 12-year-old girls walking in the vicinity of Centre Street and Maple Street West in Whitby were approached by a man who called out from his vehi- cle, asking if they wanted a ride home, police said. When the girls refused and began to make a phone call, the suspect fled. He’s described as a man of East Indian descent, about 40. He drove an older model grey or silver van.

Now that he’s reached his initial goal of winning the light middleweight (154 pound) championship belt, he’s moved the bar higher, first wanting to put on an impressive show in his first title defence, and then, start climbing the North Ameri- can rankings. But first things first. The Ajax resident will make the first defence of his title on Satur- day, Sept. 14 against veteran Tebor Brosch at Casino Rama in a Orillia, part of a card entitled Resurrection that features three championship title fights. Since his first- round knockout of Fitz Vanderpool on June 1 at the Hershey Centre in Mississau- ga, Cook hasn’t lost his focus or drive. “I went right back to work the next Mon- day. I didn’t really get to do too much,” says the 27 year old. “I went to the gym and the kids were pretty inspired over the belt. “After this fight I will realize it all came true. I’ve had to train really hard for this fight. You have to defend it once to really be the champ. That’s how I look at it.” Cook enters the fight a perfect 10-0-0 with six knockouts, while Brosch is 7-4-5 and moving up in weight for the fight. “He’s the very first guy I ever watched at a pro card,” says Cook of attending fights that Brosch was a part of at the Powerade Cen- tre in Brampton a few years ago. “I know he’s a warrior. He just keeps coming. He’s coming up in weight. When he feels the shots I’m going to give him, we’ll see how long he lasts. “I know I’m not taking him lightly. I say it’s going to be the toughest fight I’ve ever had. I have to be on my game 100 per cent for this guy.” The fight should certainly be longer than his last one, when he stopped Vanderpool with just seconds remaining in the first round to win the title. Brosch, who has been knocked out just once in a six-year pro career, is a former Canadian welter- weight champion, usually fighting in the 135-140 pound range. The 30 year old is moving up to 154 pounds for this fight. “Some people think I’m a little nuts for going up to that weight, but I wouldn’t take the fight if I didn’t believe I could win it,” Brosch told the Mississauga News. “I see flaws in Cook. He hasn’t fought the oppo- sition that I have fought ... He hasn’t been past six rounds and I’ve fought 10 rounds against some of the most dangerous guys in the country.” While Cook was motivated by winning a Canadian title when he turned profession- al in 2011, he has found another goal to pursue. A win over Brosch is likely to move him into a top-20 ranking in North Amer- ica, and perhaps down the road, a shot at that title. “That’s huge for me,” says Cook. “I never thought I would be ranked in North Ameri- ca let alone Canada. It gives me the drive to keep going.” Also fighting on Saturday’s card will be Whitby’s Brock Arthur, who operates the Ajax-based Durham Boxing Academy. He will have a rematch with Jordan Smith, as the cruiserweights (200 pounds) fought to a draw back on June 1 at the Hershey Cen- tre in Mississauga. The News Advertiser is giving away four free tickets to Saturday’s card at Casino Rama. For a chance to win, send an e-mail to newsroom@durhamregion.com with Brandon Cook in the subject line. The win- ner will be chosen at random at 5 p.m. on Thursday.

The competition brings together 15 countries and over 900 athletes from around the world to compete in several individual and group/team based com- petitions. Wieser and Dow successfully placed in solo’s through the preliminary and semifinal rounds in varying posi- tions, eventually placing seventh and ninth respectively among the remaining finalist’s in their category. Their Sinatra group performance remained consistent throughout the com- petition by maintaining second place, earning a silver medal, unable to dis- lodge the first place winning group from France. The girls have been twirling together for many years, initially out of the Ajax Comets Baton Club, recently moving to the Pizzazz team based out of Burlington to compete in the worlds.

SAVE TIME, SAVE MONEY View Flyers/Coupons At Generals look to be young, hard-working team Final pre-season game tonight in Pickering against Kingston Brian Mcnair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Trainer Bryan Boyes may have to place lunch buckets beside the water bottles for members of the Oshawa Generals this season. Gearing up for the 2013-14 Ontario Hockey League season, general man- ager Jeff Twohey is realistic enough to admit that a team that has lost the likes of Boone Jenner, Lucas Lessio and Tyler Biggs will be hard-pressed to match the offensive output of last season. But what they are expected to lose in scoring punch, they should be able to make up in other areas, says Twohey, who along with head coach D.J. Smith is entering his second season with the club. “It was one of the more competitive training camps I’ve seen,” said Twohey, who has experienced some 30 more of those camps in various roles with the Peterborough Petes. “What our team may lack in overall skill, we look like we might make up for with hard work and determi- nation and a commitment to a defensive style because we don’t have the offensive guns that we had last year.” One big gun, Scott Laughton, is also in doubt at this point. The 19-year-old cen- tre is at camp with the Philadelphia Fly- ers, who drafted him in the first round two years ago, and is expected to com- pete for a roster spot. Coming off a career-high 23 goals and 56 points in 49 games with the Generals, Laughton had a five-game audition with the Flyers last season, but was returned before his entry-level contract kicked in. This year, he could play as many as nine NHL games before a final decision is made. “Obviously they can get into nine games before the contract counts, so I’m antici- pating he could start the year there and probably will,” said Twohey. “After that, I have no idea.” Laughton, clearly, would make a big difference to the team and, should he return, would be a logical choice as cap- tain, as well as a strong candidate to play for Canada at the world junior champi- onships. Beyond that, the Generals will be expecting the likes of Cole Cassels and Michael Dal Colle to lead the offence, Colin Suellentrop, Josh Brown and Chris Carlisle to anchor the defence, and Dan- iel Altshuller to handle a bulk of the work- load in goal for a second straight year. Prior to Tuesday night’s exhibition game in Ajax, the Generals had a pair of wins, including 4-1 over Niagara Sunday in Whitby, a tie and a loss in pre-season play. Second-year forward Bradley Latour seems ready for a much larger role on the team, scoring four times and adding a pair of assists in the four games. Hunter Smith chipped in with three goals, while rookies Joe Manchurek and Sam Harding had three points apiece. “Sometimes teams like this are kind of fun for the fans to watch because it’s a team that we’re anticipating is going to be a hard-working, gritty team that’s going to play the same way every night,” said Twohey. “It’s a team that obviously fans can grow with a little bit, watching young kids and I think be entertained. What they may lack in overall skill we’re hopeful they’ll make up for in determi- nation and work ethic.” WHITBY -- Oshawa Generals’ Michael Dal Colle chased after the puck during an exhi- bition game against the Niagara IceDogs at Iroquois Park in Whitby.
