And there are many other things people should keep in mind when adopting a guinea pig, which I’ll get into below. Caroline Lane, founder of Pig- gles Guinea Pig Rescue, has helped more than 800 of the small pets since the rescue opened five years ago. Ms. Lane has a long history with animal rescue, usually with cats, in the past. However, when she was asked to look at Kijiji for rehom- ing trends for rescue group Helping Homeless Pets, she came to a real- ization. “While I’m looking at cats and dogs I’m just seeing guinea pig after guinea pig after guinea pig,” she says.

For 40 years, Ms. Sangwin worked in the Region’s social services department before retiring in May. She was there on Sept. 9, working as a volunteer, when Durham marked its 40th anniversary. “I was in clerical and I went back to school to get my degree. Then I became a case work- er in income support for 15 years,” she said. “My first office was in the ambulance bay in Ajax-Pickering. I was in the kitchen where they took calls,” Ms. Sangwin added. Durham was created out of the amalgama- tion of counties, townships and municipali- ties and when it was created in 1974, there were about 1,000 employees. Ms. Sangwin noted when she started, cur- rent chief administrative officer Garry Cubitt was in family counselling. “He started just before I did.” At the open house to mark the occasion, there were displays from various depart- ments, including different vehicles used, such as snowplows, ambulances, police vehicles and buses. One display featured office equipment used when the Region was founded, including rotary dial phones, type- writers, carbon paper and desktop calcula- tors. More than 1,000 people came out for the occasion. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson noted in a speech the population of Durham has tripled since its founding, from 228,000 peo- ple to 650,000 today. “Our urban areas have grown, our econo- my is more diverse and more importantly, so is our population,” Mr. Anderson said. He noted at the first Regional council meet- ing, councillors “debated should the Region- al chair be elected. Government works slow.” The upcoming Oct. 27 municipal elec- tion marks the first time voters will select the chairman. In the past, the chairman was selected by councillors at the first meeting after an election. The first Regional headquarters was the Ontario County courthouse at the corner of Rossland Road and Garden Street. “It was surrounded by farmers. There were cows moving in the fields around us. We’re proud agriculture is still strong here,” Mr. Anderson said. A new book, called Experience Durham, was written specifically for the anniversary. It’s selling for $20 and all proceeds will go to the Durham United Way. Mr. Cubitt said his job was transferred to the Region when it was created and “I’ve been here since day one. In 40 years, there’s been a lot of changes. In 1974, there was 1,000 staff and they were transferred from the counties and municipalities. Now, there’s almost 6,000 staff.” The current Regional headquarters, also at the corner of Rossland and Garden, was opened in 2005. Since it began, the Region has taken on more services, including EMS, the provincial offences court, transit, waste management and social housing, Mr. Cubitt said. Geordie Lishman was commissioned to create a sculpture to mark the occasion. He called it 4D sculpture of Durham. It shows off the highlights of Durham, such as recreation, urban areas and farming. “I hope it inspires people for the next 40 years and beyond,” Mr. Lishman said. “I’m sure it will be here for a long time,” Mr. Anderson noted. Among those attending the event were some members of the first Regional coun- cil, including Bill Ballinger of Uxbridge, Alan McPhail of Brock Township, John Aker of Oshawa and Gerry Emm and Des Newman, both of Whitby. WHITYB -- John Goodwin, former Whitby councillor, Allan McPhail, former Brock mayor, Des Newman, former Whitby mayor, and Bill Ballinger, former Uxbridge councillor, gathered at the 40th anniversary celebrations of Durham Region at the Region’s headquarters.

EFW–WMAC Meeting #12 Pickering to look at fee for seniors’ snow-clearing program Service expanding to four Pickering hamlets this winter Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering is looking to expand its snow- clearing program for seniors and people with disabili- ties -- but that change could come with a cost. The City has offered the program since 1975 and last year counted 350 participants. The 2013/2014 year was originally supposed to be capped at 325, but that number was increased due to high demand. “A lot more people know about the program now,” says Rich- ard Holborn, the City’s director of engineering and public works. “They hear about it through word-of-mouth and we are adver- tising it through social media.” A new report recommends expanding the program to include the hamlets of Brougham, Claremont, Greenwood and White- vale this winter. It also suggests implementing a “nominal fee,” which would be proposed by City staff during the 2015 budget process and potentially implemented for the 2015/2016 season. Mr. Holborn couldn’t estimate how much the fee might be, but said it would help offset the cost of the program, which is bud- geted at $88,000 for the 2014 calendar year. Ajax offers two options -- municipal sidewalk and windrow clearing for $30 a year plus tax or municipal sidewalk, windrow, driveway and pathway to door for $130 a year plus tax. Pickering staff is recommending an increase of 25 participants with the addition of the hamlets. To gauge the level of interest, the City is reaching out to resi- dents through an information notice, social media and adver- tisements.

Police allege two motorcycle riders were racing northbound on Yonge Street around 5:25 p.m. April 6 when a vehicle turned in front of them at Pleasant Boulevard. One of the riders hit the car and was thrown from his bike; the riderless motorcycle continued on, striking a 67-year-old woman as she walked on the east sidewalk on Yonge Street. Both the pedestrian and the thrown rider, a 29-year-old Brampton man, were taken to hospital. Toronto police conducted an inves- tigation that concluded with the announce- ment of charges against both motorcycle rid- ers Wednesday. Haytham Markos, 29, of Brampton, is charged with stunt driving, dangerous driv- ing, and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. Thirty-year-old Narciso Castro Gonza- les, of Ajax, is charged with dangerous driv- ing and stunt driving. 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 4 5 AP VisitWagJag.com Don’t miss these, and other great deals! $21 FOR 4 WEEKS OF YOUTH DANCE CLASSES A $43 VALUE $120 FOR PIXEL SKIN RESURFACING A $300 VALUE Buy Online and Save $2180Buy Online and Save $180 Buy Online and Save $50Buy Online and Save $45 $45 FOR A FULL COLOUR, HAIRCUT AND BLOWDRY A $90 VALUE Discover and create moments of joy! $99 FORHOUSEHOLD DUCT CLEANING FOR 10 VENTS WITH SANITIZING A $259 VALUE Buy Online and Save $160 Save 62% $160 A PINNACLE LONGBOARD WITH WHEELS A $320 VALUE Buy Online and Save $160 Save 50% LAST DAYTO BUY $20 SEE THE FOUR ACES & THE FOUR LADS AT ACADEMY THEATRE A $40 VALUE BRIDAL DESIRESBRIDALDESIRES INC.INC.

If approved by council, three parcels of land at Bayly and Church streets would be rezoned “major tourist destination,” a new designa- tion in the city which would permit rough- ly 40 uses, including hotels, offices and a casino. To be clear, neither the casino nor any part of the Durham Live development has been approved. Council will vote on the Durham Live issue on Sept. 15 at its last scheduled meeting of the term. Indications from City staff, councillors and some residents are that they want this to happen, given the millions in revenue and thousands of jobs that it is expected to bring. But as for the process, given the size of the proposal and the ramifications for Pickering, there should have been a sepa- rate meeting or meetings on Durham Live. This is arguably the biggest development proposal to come to the City and it should have been treated as such, not lumped together with other items. A Saturday after- noon session? Why not. Most importantly, people should have had their chance to speak their mind. Again, this was their opportunity to do so and councillors should have listened, asking for clarification of a point if neces- sary. Instead, as Mayor Ryan said, and we agree because we were there, many dele- gates were “cross-examined.” And council- lors asked leading questions of the ‘don’t- you-agree-that...’ variety. The members of council could and should have saved their thoughts for the Sept. 15 meeting. Given the high level of interest in Durham Live among Pickering residents, both those who favour and are opposed to the devel- opment proposal, the City should have held a separate meeting, at a more conve- nient time, to enable as many residents as possible to attend. And when residents did weigh in on Durham Live, the focus should have been on listening, not on being heard. We all must defend our principles To the editor: Re: ‘Festival experience not reflective of Durham’, editorial opinion, durhamregion. com, Sept. 3, 2014. In response to your editorial regarding the Boots and Hearts exhibition of racism, I want to thank you for publishing such a sensitive and human expression of what I hope is a more typical Canadian attitude. As citizens it is our responsibility to defend the basic principles that define us as a civilized and progressive society. You have done that. Keep it up. Richard Yoshida Entitlement versus disability To the editor: As the wife of a disabled person, I’d like to relay my recent experiences using the GO train’s accessibility coach. Let me remind those with baby strollers that the sign for the accessibility coach is a big, blue wheelchair sign -- universally accepted as the sign for disabled people. People with babies don’t park in those spots and you don’t get a handicapped sign for your car if you have a stroller. As we boarded the GO train in Durham, the accessible coach had two people in wheelchairs and someone with a walk- er. And, at every stop, people with stroll- ers boarded the accessible coach. I get it; there’s a ramp and strollers are a pain. But don’t argue when the GO ambassador tells you to fold your stroller and make room for the accessible seats. You get to enjoy the accessible coach but you’re not entitled to it. You can lift your stroller. You can use any other coach. My husband can’t. The other disabled people can’t. And when the ambassador relents and lets you stand in the aisle with your stroller, please have the good social skills to not roll your eyes and act put out when someone in a wheelchair needs to use the washroom or exit the train before you do. On our way home from Toronto, when some stroller people saw that there were four manual wheelchairs and two scooters waiting to board, they stormed the coach from the other door and took all the seats. It took two GO ambassadors to force them out of the seats. And when my husband and I boarded, I was sworn about with statements like, “why don’t you tell her to take another f------ seat?” We spouses and attendants were stared down, talked about, sworn about and otherwise bullied. Entitlement is not a disability. Strollers are permitted onto the accessibility coach as a courtesy. And if you’re willing to steal disabled people’s seats, swear at their wives and attendants and otherwise bully this already marginalized group, I think GO should stop extending the courtesy. Christine Smith 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 4 7 APTogether, Durham SustainAbility (DSA), a Durham region envi- ronmental organization, and Durham Farm Fresh, the voice of member local growers, are proud to organize a CSAFarm Tour on September 20 & 21, 2014. This self-guided tour will showcase our local CSA’s and the importance of knowing where your food grows. If you are interested in joining a CSAand seeing first hand where your fruits and vegetables would grow, take the tour and meet the farmer, look at the fields and walk around. By doing so, you will develop a stronger connection to what you are eating. When you join a CSA, you receive a box of seasonal items that vary week by week. Some items are pretty standard: carrots, beans, and tomatoes while other items could be new to you: kohlrabi, fennel, and bok choy. The opportunity to try new flavors and recipes is exciting and can shake up your routine: Monday night spaghetti; Tuesday night sheppard’s pie; Wednesday night…you can see the pattern here. “The CSAFarm Tour is self-guided, which means you print or download the map, plan your route to the farms that are of most inter- est to you, and off you go.”says Heather Kirby, Sustainable Com- munities Program Manager from DSAand one of the tour organizers. “The CSAs will have activities planned and are prepared to answer all of your questions right there in the garden or field.” All you need to do is dress for the weather, download/print the map or set your GPS, and track your KMs (DSAwill plant a tree {s} to reduce the carbon footprint from this tour) and enjoy a day in the country! To download and/or print map, and to submit your mileage after the Tour: www.sustain-ability.ca For more information, please contact Heather at heather@sustain-ability.ca or 905-985-3279 x 10. The CSA Farm Tour showcases our local growers and the importance of knowing where your food comes from Do You Have Any of the Following Conditions? • Lower or Upper Back Pain • Muscle spasm or strains • Bulging lumbar discs • Numbness or soreness in your legs • Shooting hip or thigh pain Having back and leg pain can bring life to a standstill. You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep. You have too many dreams left undone to let back pain slow you down; too many special moments waiting to be experienced. Life is too short to let pain slow you down. Pain is your body’s warning sign telling you something is wrong. Sure, you can numb the pain if you take enough pain or anti-inflammatory pills. When you mask the pain, it can prevent your back from healing – maybe even damage it further. Not to mention many of the pain medications available are quite addictive and can have devastating side effects. Could This Be the Solution to your Back Pain? We are Dr. Michael Gauthier and Dr. Mark Kasiban. Over the past 17 years we’ve seen hundreds of people with back pain leave our office pain free. Because we’ve seen it with our own eyes, we know... Back pain is NOT “just a part of life” and something you have to live with. Chiropractic has been around for over a hundred years, and has been used to help everyone from tiny babies to the elderly. Even top sports stars and entertainers…like Tiger Woods, Emmitt Smith, Tony Robbins, Joe Montana, Lance Armstrong, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson receive chiropractic care. These professional athletes have the money to hire any kind of doctor they want, yet they choose to have a chiropractor on their team. “Here’s what some patients have to say…” “I had a sore back for 20 years and after I started chiropractic it was gone.” (D. D., Ajax) “I used to cry myself to sleep…now the pain is gone” (A. P., Ajax) “I was in pain constantly. I was told I would need a hip replacement in a few years. I would have to live with the pain. After getting chiropractic adjustments I am completely pain free. I have control back in my life. Thanks.” (M. M., Whitby) Here’s what some of the top medical researchers have to say about chiropractic… “Chiropractic adjustments, with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.” –British Medical Journal “Chiropractic adjustments of the spine are more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine, back corsets, and ultrasound.” --Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back on the golf course, playing with your kids, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

FREE family event! It’s been just over two years since the 18-year-old Pickering resident was diag- nosed with osteosarcoma, the same type of bone cancer that Terry Fox had. In July 2012, Mr Hirji was a promising teen athlete working towards a soccer scholarship when he started to feel pain in his left leg. Thinking it was an injured muscle, he tried to play through it, but the pain per- sisted. The diagnosis came as a shock. “I went from hoping to play profession- al soccer to, how am I going to make it through to next year?” he says. After six rounds of chemotherapy, one major surgery and many rehabili- tative surgeries, Mr. Hirji is now finished treatment. He is acutely aware of the fact that had this happened 20 or 30 years ago, he may have lost his leg -- and his life. “Today’s cancer patients are beating cancer and living healthy lives thanks to progress made in research,” he says. “The chemotherapy is less harsh on our bodies, treatment is shorter and people like me are able to keep both our legs.” There is still a lot of rehab to go before he can play sports again. In the meantime, Mr. Hirji loves being a spokes- man for the Terry Fox Foundation and is look- ing forward to starting Grade 12 classes at Pine Ridge Secondary School this fall. “I’m just enjoy- ing life ... there is so much I want to do,” he says. Mr. Hirji hopes his story will encourage local residents to participate in one of seven Terry Fox runs taking place across Durham on Sept. 14, or make a donation. The Pickering Terry Fox Run has raised $810,534 since it started in 1988 and typi- cally sees about 300 partici- pants. “It’s a great fami- ly oriented event,” says Pickering run organizer Kevin Cahill. “We want to encourage everyone to bring your family, your dog, your stroller and come help us finish what Terry Fox started.” In 2013, millions of Ontari- ans participated in 220 communi- ty Terry Fox runs and 4,000 school events, raising $12.5 million for cancer research.

Various cleanups will be taking place across Pickering from Sept. 20 to 28. Individuals, businesses, schools and groups are encouraged to join an existing cleanup or organize one of their own. Cleanups can take place along the edge of any body of water, such as rivers, ponds, lakes and beaches. The City will provide participants with gloves and garbage bags. The Great Canadian Shoreline Clean- up is a joint initiative between Vancouver Aquarium and World Wildlife Fund. It is the largest direct-action conserva- tion initiative in Canada. Over its history, the cleanup has helped to remove about 1.2 million kilograms of shoreline litter.

For those that love pets! adopt a pet OSHAWA -- Bandit, a four-year-old bea- gle/lab mix, has been at the shelter since the end of May. Great family dog, very gentle. Needs a home with no cats, but gets along with dogs. Does well on the leash with guidance and many walks. He knows how to sit, shake a paw and lie down. For more information, call Oshawa Animal Services at 905-436-3311. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland See a video of Bandit on Facebook Guinea pigs are not disposable I once had a guinea pig named Mr. Tibbs, but I’m now realizing he should have had a buddy. And there are many other things people should keep in mind when adopting a guinea pig, which I’ll get into below. Caroline Lane, founder of Piggles Guinea Pig Rescue, has helped more than 800 of the small pets since the rescue opened five years ago. Ms. Lane has a long history with animal rescue, usually with cats, in the past. How- ever, when she was asked to look at Kijiji for rehoming trends for rescue group Helping Homeless Pets, she came to a realization. “While I’m looking at cats and dogs I’m just seeing guinea pig after guinea pig after guinea pig,” she says. She knows that when people say ‘free to a good home,’ these poor creatures often end up as snake food. She decided to open up the Blackstock- based rescue in 2009, as a member of Helping Homeless Pets. “We hit 60 (guinea pigs) after the first year,” she says. The rescue now services many areas in Ontario. It takes in guinea pigs in need and rehomes them, and features adoptable ones in eight different pet stores. It still takes in around 60 guinea pigs a year but it’s more manageable with foster homes taking care of them until they get a new home. The most common reason a person gives up a guinea pig: the excitement wears off. “Mostly because (parents) go into the pet store with the kids...three months later the kid has lost interest,” says Ms. Lane. She says many people see guinea pigs as great ‘starter pets.’ Cats and dogs are often seen as family pets, but guinea pigs don’t usu- ally get the same status, despite making love- ly, social pets. And that’s when she finds them on Kijiji. She and other volunteers with the rescue send messages to people giving away their guinea pigs on Kijiji, warning them of the possible dangers. Those interested in a guinea pig should remember they can live eight to 10 years. Also, it’s in their nature to hide signs of weak- ness, so when they show they’re sick, they need immediate attention. “If you think your guinea pig is sick you need to get it to the vet fast,” says Ms. Lane. People must remember guinea pigs are social animals and should be kept in pairs or groups. Also, the cost of caring for two guinea pigs is around $25 to $30 per month, which doesn’t include veterinary costs if necessary. They need fresh veggies and/or fruit every day, unlimited hay (anything but alfalfa hay) and unlimited water, provided in a sipper bottle. They require a daily diet of good qual- ity pellets formulated specifically for guinea pigs. The rescue says to stay away from seeds or anything containing coloured bits. Pellets should be made from alfalfa for youngsters and timothy hay for adults. Ms. Lane says their cages should be in a draught-free location, out of direct sunlight, but not in a child’s bedroom. They should be in a central part of the house such as the fam- ily room since they love company. Pairs of guinea pigs require a minimum eight square feet of cage floor space, plus reg- facebook.com/NewsDurhamKristensKritters ular exercise. And although they make great pets for chil- dren, a guinea pig’s daily care should never be left solely to a child. The rescue is very thorough and serious about rehoming these pets. “If you’re not willing to look after it the way we suggest then I suggest you don’t get a guinea pig,” says Ms. Lane. But, if someone can commit to committing and providing the care they need, the rescue is happy to help perspective adopters. Visit pigglesrescue.com for more informa- tion.

Like the kids returning to school, each September for roughly 15 years has marked the Circuit’s start. Toronto International Film Festival movies were screened once a month from September to November and January to May at the Ajax Cineplex Odeon. But rising costs and declining audiences spelled the end of the Circuit, says chair- man Barry Butler. “We had a good run and I like to think that we enabled people to see films which other- wise would not have left Toronto,” he states. The “front man” of the Circuit, Butler gave a talk at the beginning of each screen- ing. But he’s quick to pass on the credit to his wife, Denise, and especially to commit- tee members Susan Blakelock and Margaret Nicholls. Butler says part of the reason for the Cir- cuit’s demise is the options now available to film lovers, including the Ajax library’s film group and classic films screened at the St. Francis Centre in Ajax. And then there’s Netflix. “People used to go out and rent movies and now you have something like Netflix,” he says. “I plead guilty because my wife and I have Netflix. It’s so easy.” When he and Denise took it over in 2000, it was “a thriving club,” Butler said. The Circuit was making a small profit, roughly $1,000 a year, which went to the Ajax Library. But costs to run the Circuit have risen, an extra $100 to rent the theatre and an additional $100 to the film distributor, in both cases a 66-per cent increase. It “made a big hole in the takings,” he says, and last season the profit was literally a few dollars. Butler notes the Circuit was initially an Ajax Friends of the Library program, seen as one of the ways to raise money for the main library branch on Harwood Avenue. He was a good choice to run the Circuit, although his experience is in a different kind of theatre. Butler was a pharmaceutical chemist in England when he and his wife moved to Durham to be closer to their chil- dren. Butler notes his parents, like many, want- ed him to get a steady job, “but I always loved the theatre. I always wanted to go into theatre.” So after becoming established in his career, Butler in his late 30s followed his heart’s desire. “I did a lot of very minor theatre work,” he says. “There was a travelling company I worked with.” Back to the Circuit, and Butler says TIFF, which helped set up the Ajax Film Circuit, has been “exceptional in their support over the years.” In Circuit’s time in Ajax, roughly 100 films were screened, including Gabrielle, Le Week-end, Watermark and Fruitvale Sta- tion.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Back in black and white AJAX -- An Ajax art gallery presents the return of a popular exhibition. The second Black and White Exhibition is back at Cultural Expressions Art Gallery, running Sept. 21 to Oct. 18. “Dig out your black and white attire and stop by the gallery to feast your eyes on some of the finest monochromatic mas- terpieces around,” states a press release. “This exhibition features art by over a dozen artists from the Durham and Toronto region who have created works using exclusively black and white materials. What these paintings, drawings, photos and prints lack in color, they make up for with composition, craftsmanship and originality.” The artists taking part include Panayot Dimitrov and Susan Lindo of Ajax, Don Chase of Brooklin and Marissa Sweet of Oshawa. The show’s opening reception is Sept. 21 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the gallery, 62 Old Kingston Rd. in Ajax’s Pickering Village. Learn more about the gallery at www. culturalexpressions.ca.

The Panthers opened with a pair of Ontario Junior Hockey League games at the Pickering Recreation Complex over the weekend, the first two of five in a row to start the season. It’s too small of a sam- ple size just yet, but so far, things are even. They opened with a 4-2 loss to the Ham- ilton Red Wings on Friday night, an emp- ty-net goal with just 37 seconds remain- ing closing out the scoring, but rebound- ed with a 6-2 victory over the Burlington Cougars on Sunday. “We had that last year as well,” said GM/ head coach Mike Galati in reference to the same start to the schedule, winning three of the first five at home before playing an away game. “I like it and I don’t. It’s good if you get off to a good start. It can be not so good if you don’t have the start you want. “It is what it is. We have to deal with it here. Our ice is available early so we have to use it.” In the loss Friday to Hamilton, Matteo Condotta and Chris Sekelyk had the goals for the Panthers, who were down 1-0 after the first and 2-1 through two periods. The line combination of Dalton Law- rence, Nicholas Lepone and Kevin Dim- agno had a productive night in the 6-2 win over Burlington. Lepone scored twice, while Lawrence and Dimagno potted one each, as did Brendan Hancock and Riley Devine. Due to injuries and suspensions, the Panthers were short on the bench, par- ticularly on the back end with so many defencemen out of the lineup. “Kudos to the guys. We played short. We finished the game on Friday with two defencemen and then started the game on Sunday with three,” said Galati, who had to dip into the affiliated player list to help round out the roster. “I would like to be 2-0. I think we should have been 2-0. I think we did enough to win Friday.” One of the defencemen who will be lost to the team for an extended period of time is rookie Blake Coffey, who was assessed a match penalty for spearing just over a minute into the third period of Friday’s games. He’s been given a minimum four- game suspension, with Galati expecting to hear a final number later in the week. The Panthers will welcome the Stouffville Spirit on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and the Wellington Dukes on Sunday afternoon at 2. PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers Kevin Dimagno took the puck with Hamilton Red Wings Michael Spezza close behind in Ontario Junior Hockey League action at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Lindberg making good impression on Generals Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals GM Roger Hunt recognizes it’s a little early to get too excited, but he sure liked what he saw of Tobias Lindberg over the weekend. Lindberg, an 19-year-old winger from Sweden who was added through the CHL import draft, had four goals and an assist in two pre-season games, including a hat trick Saturday as the Generals defeated the Niagara IceDogs 5-2 in a game played at the Ajax Community Centre. After playing most of last season without an import player, and still finishing first in the OHL’s Eastern Conference, the Gen- erals are hoping Lindberg can step in and make an impact similar to what Nicklas Jensen did in 2011-12. “He’s a budding pro and came to North America for a reason,” Hunt said of Lind- berg, a fourth-round draft pick of the Otta- wa Senators. “He’s what we’re looking for in a player. He’s dynamic, he’s a good team- mate and certainly he’s got some high-end talent.” Hunt, who took over from Jeff Twohey shortly after the regular OHL draft in April, made Lindberg his first pick as the new GM, with the 46th overall pick in July’s import draft. He later added Danish defenceman Sonny Hertzberg in the sec- ond round, but realizes there will be more of a learning curve there. “I think for a defenceman, it’s a lit- tle bit different,” Hunt said of Hertzberg, who played in both weekend games. “He missed our training camp, which he prob- ably would’ve benefitted from, so he came in cold. He’s a real good skater. It’s going to take some time here and he’s going to have to learn the North American dimensions if anything else.” The Generals, after opening the pre-sea- son with a 7-1 loss to the Niagara IceDogs, played better on Friday in Kingston, but let a 2-0 lead slip away and fell 4-2 to the Fron- tenacs. Lindberg and Sterk scored in that defeat, and Sterk added another in Saturday’s win. Sam Harding contributed an unassisted power-play goal in the victory, which saw Jeremy Brodeur make 23 saves. With 22 others remaining with the team, jobs can still be won and lost in exhibition play, which continues Thursday in Peter- borough and wraps up with two more trav- elling home games on the weekend, Satur- day in Bowmanville against Kingston and Sunday in Pickering against the Petes. Pickering Ajax Cubs win provincial bantam championship with victory over Mississauga DURHAM -- The Pickering Ajax Cubs ban- tam team went undefeated on its way to cap- turing a second consecutive AAA provincial championship. The Cubs opened up the double knock- out tournament with a 20-4 victory over the London Badgers. Offensive contributions from the entire lineup proved too much for the Badgers. Round two saw the Cubs take on the Mississauga Southwest Twins. Six runs in the third inning and eight runs in the fourth inning catapulted the Cubs to a 19-1 victory. The Cubs then earned a round three bye and moved on to face the undefeated Sim- coe Giants in round four. After falling behind 6-2, the Cubs bats came alive in the fourth and fifth innings as they went on to defeat Simcoe by a score of 14-6. In round five the Cubs drew the North York Blues. In a hard- fought game, the Cubs prevailed with a 5-3 win. This set up the final match against the Mississauga North Tigers. The Cubs gave up two runs in the first inning, but responded with two of their own in the second inning to tie the game. In the third inning the Cubs bunched together four hits and two walks to score four runs as they took a 6-2 lead after three innings. The Tigers managed only three hits and one run the rest of the way, while the Cubs scored three more runs in the sixth inning as they went on to a 9-3 victory. The Pickering Ajax Cubs are the first team in the 1999 age group to win consecu- tive provincial titles, having defeated the Etobicoke Rangers last year. This champion- ship team was coached by Scott Robinson (league choice award for Coach of the Year), Chris Papalia, Steve Toms and Rob DaSilva. Team members are James De Sousa, Land- on Leach, Dylan Latty, RJ Dutkiewicz, Liam Miller-North, Kurt Dawkins, Jared Evans, Harrison Toms, Neelesh Kaul, Jonathan Henry, Michael Ong (provincial tournament MVP), Malik Williams, Daniel Carinci, Cart- er Seabrook, Jacob Cheung and Kumani Dawkins (bat boy). 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 4 24 AP Fuel your school trip, your team, dance group or special project with...

I received a text from my brother asking me if I was doing The Mud Hero this year and if I was getting a team together. I told him that I was doing a run ( where they throw colour bombs at you) at end of August in Oshawa and asked him if he wanted to join. I told him that I just finished reading that Beth was going into her 5th round of chemo. It got me thinking that we could help the family with support of some kind during this time. $370 Raised Feed the need There are too many children in this world who go hungry. Hungry children cannot succeed. It is easy to help allevi- ate hunger. The Rotary Club of Ajax, in support of the international group, Kids Against Hunger, intends to undertake a food packing project that will support Rotary’s maternal and child health focus. On January 11, 2014, members of the Rotary Club of Ajax, Ontario, Canada, will mobilize community members to package 42,000 meals. Eighty percent will be donated to Kids Against Hunger Canada to be distributed internationally. $8,370 Raised Replace Community Living’s stolen wheelchair van Someone had stolen our retrofitted 2006 Ford Econoline lift van, used to shuttle people with special needs around town.
