AJAX NISSAN 500 BAYLY STREET WEST,AJAX TEL: (905) 686-0555 Board doesn’t expect classes to run into July Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham’s public high school students were back in the classroom on Wednesday, ending a strike that has spanned more than five weeks. The Ontario Labour Relations Board announced late Tuesday that a strike by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Fed- eration at three school boards -- Durham, Peel and Rainbow -- is illegal. Teachers -- as well as educational assis- tants who were redeployed during the strike -- were back at work May 27. School bus service also resumed on its regular schedule. Durham District School Board Chairman Michael Barrett said he wasn’t surprised by the ruling. “We didn’t enter into this with- out thinking we had a strong case,” he said. “We believe this was a local action that was part of a provincial framework.” In its ruling, the OLRB determined the strikes were partly related to central issues. The School Boards’ Collective Bargaining Act 2014 requires local strikes to be on local issues. Mr. Barrett says the ruling will set an important precedent. “Today’s decision is not only important because our students will now be able to return to their schools and continue their education, but also because it reaffirms the required bargaining framework for school boards and all employee groups, moving forward in negotiating fair agreements that put student success first,” he said. Dave Barrowclough, president of OSSTF District 13 in Durham, said Tuesday night that his email inbox was being flooded with messages from members who were “out- raged” by the ruling. “At no point did we ever believe we were doing anything unlawful,” he says. “We filed for conciliation, we asked for a no board report, we gave ample notice...we did every- thing we were supposed to do.” He questioned why the DDSB didn’t raise concerns at the outset of the strike -- instead taking action four weeks in. Mr. Barrowclough said he anticipates some members will be “upset” returning to class on Wednesday, but stressed they will all “act as professionals.” Despite students missing 26 days of school, DDSB Superintendent Luigia Ayo- tte said the school year is not expected to extend into July.

Ajax student wins contest with inspiring essay about volunteers Trip to Turkey among prizes at fifth annual Durham Art and Essay contest Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A local student says it was her mother’s volunteer work that inspired her to write an award-winning essay. Jessica Watters, 16, recently won first place in the essay category at the fifth annual Durham Art and Essay Contest, organized by the Intercultural Dialogue Institute GTA. Both her parents volunteer, but Jessi- ca says she was especially moved by the time her mother spent volunteering at her elementary school. “I’ve seen how she impacts the stu- dents’ lives,” she says. On May 20, high school students from four local school boards were recog- nized for posters and essays they cre- ated on the theme “Volunteers - Heroes Among Us.” “I was shocked,” Jessica says, of learn- ing she had won. The Grade 10 student at Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School in Ajax has done her own share of vol- unteer work too, most recently as a camp counsellor. She says she loves writing and Eng- lish class and was excited to take on the essay challenge. “I wanted people to know why we should appreciate volunteers,” she says. Prizes included a laptop for first-place winners, and tablets or eReaders for sec- ond- and third-place winners. The six top prize winners also receive a semi-sponsored educational trip to Tur- key. Jessica says she is hoping to go next summer.

As chief of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation – proud owners of the Great Blue Heron (GBH) Charity Casino – I appreciate the role gaming plays in the prosperity of Durham Region and the province. I also understand the importance of preserving our existing assets and ensuring that their benefits continue to reach our community. GBH generates 1,100 jobs and contributes more than $250 million annually to the region. Expanded gaming threatens these benefits and puts existing gaming facilities across Ontario at risk. GBH hopes to contribute to Durham Region well into the future, but expanded gaming in Ajax will hurt our ability to do so. Gaming facilities thrive when they support the local economy and are welcomed by residents. It is important to give residents an opportunity to voice their opinions on gaming expansion. The MSIFN commissioned a poll from Abacus Data in June 2014 and found that: • A majority of Durham residents (64 per cent) think the region has enough gaming facilities and do not want expansion; • 51 per cent of residents believe there will be many social and economic costs if a new or expanded casino is developed; and • 41 per cent of respondents said they were strongly opposed to a new or expanded casino built within five kilometres of their home. Durham residents have spoken loud and clear against more gaming in the region. GBH and Ajax Downs have both made substan- tial contributions to the region and the province. I hope that both facilities can continue to generate wealth and prosperity for the local economy. In order to maintain the positive impacts gaming has had on our community, it is crucial that we say no to an expanded Ajax casino. -- Kelly LaRocca is chief of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation Kelly La Rocca Guest Column Gaming Students caught in the crossfire To the editor: I am for the students, the teachers, the union, and the school board because they are a part of a whole. But I’m against con- fusion, delay tactics, bullying and the strife they produce to keep all divided as with the Durham secondary school teachers’ strike. Someone always gets caught in the crossfire of broken relationships, usually children, not just in homes, but their education too. The saddest part is when it comes from friendly fire -- from those who are on the same team. If one side feels as though the other is now the enemy, there’ll be trouble because they’ll react rather than repair, no longer aiming their guns in the same direc- tion against the real enemy -- anything that would keep students from learning -- then no one outwits this tactic. And wouldn’t it be horrible if those called to be part of the solution actually became part of the prob- lem? If that’s the case, stop, turn the tables on this drama and rewrite the ending not only of this school year, but on the history of labour relations in Ontario. This must change. May those involved right now lead the way. Renae Jarrett Durham Region ready for its closeup Thirteen days of competition. Three Durham venues. Thousands of spectators. Hundreds of athletes. One beaming sense of pride. Durham Region is ready to play host at the upcoming Pan Am and Parapan Am Games and welcome the quadrennial sporting spectacle in the next few weeks. Oshawa’s GM Centre will host high-pro- file boxing and weightlifting competitions in July, while Ajax will see softball and baseball action. Whitby’s state-of-the-art Abilities Cen- tre plays host to judo and boccia competi- tions for the Parapan Am Games that fol- low in August. And the excitement is building: local torchbearers are stretching limbs and get- ting ready for the privilege of carrying the flame from city to city; host municipalities have worked diligently to prepare their sites for arriving athletes; Oshawa’s down- town is getting a new tree canopy to wel- come visitors from the 40 countries that will be represented at the games; and citi- zens are starting to snap up event tickets. It’s been a long, slow roll towards the games, but to use a sporting analogy, the finish line is in sight. Those of us here at home in Durham’s rich and diverse multi- cultural communities, meanwhile, will all have a ‘home’ team to cheer on through- out the games. We encourage residents across the region to be a part of this historic celebra- tion of friendship and elite athletic com- petition. Purchase tickets to the local events and experience vicariously the rush of victory, or the sting of defeat. Get outside and take in the torch run when it passes through your town or city. Look into volunteering in your commu- nity, organize or host a Pan Am or Para- pan Am neighbourhood party, and take the initiative to be an informal commu- nity ambassador when the world’s visitors arrive. It’s fair to say that Durham Region as a whole will be in a bright spotlight for two glorious weeks this summer. Let us all support the athletes, cheer from the stands and sidelines, and cheerfully wel- come our guests. If these Games represent the future and the very best of these young athletes, Dur- ham must represent itself as progressive, open and welcoming society with the very best of engaged citizens. Bring on those games. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd. is a signa- ture sponsor of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by Pres- ident’s Choice and OLG. Attention spans decli ... cool truck! Microsoft Canada, through a number of studies, has discovered that humans now have a shorter attention span than that of a goldfish. Less than nine seconds to be exact. Many of you may have missed this particu- lar news item because...well, enough said. I had initially thought that this phenom- enon was due to the ubiquitous presence of reality TV and/or Kanye West, as nothing loses my interest faster than either one of those yawn inducers. But the main culprit, according to the study, is, actually technol- ogy; more specifically, social media usage and ‘technology adoption rate’. In other words, the more gadgets we have and the more time we spend gazing at screens and pointing, clicking and swiping, the more we are turning into Kim Kardashian. As a person who stares at a screen for a liv- ing -- usually a blank screen with a blink- ing cursor mocking me -- I understand this completely. As much as I love the Inter- net, for instance, I cannot count how many times I have left my writing screen to seek out a fact or reference on the web, only to find myself, hours later, down some digital rabbit hole pursuing some vitally important question like: ‘Whatever happened to the guy who played Pottsy on Happy Days?’ or ‘Who invented socks?’ It’s maddening and not a little terrifying. I come away from such experiences feeling like one of those pigeons in a science exper- iment, pecking at a button for the next food pellet. Granted, most of those pigeons still have a much higher IQ than Kim Kardashi- an, but still, it’s a slippery slope. Recently, I have become better at dis- ciplining myself at the keyboard and am now able to put in a good morning of large- ly undistracted thought on whatever proj- ect I am currently working on. Unless, of course, the dogs are doing something funny or a cool truck or digger drives by the win- dow. But it has not been easy. At the nadir of my focus I was doing disastrously dumb things like not only leaving Facebook open while I wrote, but having my message notifi- cations and ‘chat’ alert on as well. That was like trying to write in a room full of people, every one of whom was tapping me on the shoulder and showing me pictures of their children, pets or dessert. For a while, too, I had my computer set to check email every 15 minutes and notify me of new messages. This seemed important to me. I’m not sure who I thought I was exactly, some rail baron or business mogul perhaps? In fact, I was an idiot. Most of my email was and contin- ues to be grammatically butchered letters of introduction from lonely Slavic women or invitations from complete strangers to do something vaguely sexual called ‘link in’. I’ve since stopped that but, like many of you, I still have my phone on and nearby at all times. I tell myself I do this because I am a good parent and if my children need me I want to be able to respond immediately. But this is tripe and I know it. Most of the texts I receive are even less salient than my emails. No, I do it because writing is hard work and I’m dopily human and I like distractions. I’m not quite a Kardashian just yet, but I still need that pellet now and then. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 6 Top Ribfests in Durham Region Let’s Talk Weigh in on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 AP Andrea Lista-Corbeil: My daughter was told by her teacher BEFORE the strike to remove personal objects from her locker. This is very disap- pointing to say the least. These kids deserve better. They will be so far behind when being delivered next year’s curriculum and students entering their first year of College or University will be at a tremendous disadvantage. What do you think will happen with the Toronto Maple Leafs next season with top coach Mike Babcock behind the bench?Poll Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ma y 2 7 , 2 0 1 5 SCHOOL LOCKERS: Some Durham students and parents believe the school year is effectively over as the public high school teachers’ strike continues, with some saying they were told by school officials to clean out their lockers. That, incidentally, was dis- puted by the Durham District School Board, but it prompted a lively disussion on Facebook. Here’s what people were saying: Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Ha Ha Ha Ha ... hilarious! 26% At least they’ll make the playoffs.17% More of the same. What else? 57% Joanne Carnovale: Cleaning out your belongings only means they don’t know when it will end and they don’t want kids coming in and out of the school because they forgot something. Cleaning out lockers of food makes sense. I remember doing it before every break. Malisa Caprio: Yes these kids do deserve better hence the reason for the strike. Teachers are fighting for them! Laura Margison Gallacher: Hon- estly. After this week there are only 17 days left of school before formal exams begin. So someone tell me what could they possibly accomplish going back for that short of time? Maybe i’m wrong but I think our students are screwed. Michael Rolph: If teachers are real- ly striking with the students in mind, they should face the reality of the times and return to work. At the end of the day, in the present time strikes are always for the strikers! Shawna Burrows: I have spoken to many teachers and they are not all happy to be going into week 5. This affects them just as much as it does everyone else. Keep in mind a lot of teachers are parents too.

Pickering resident Julian Baugh may be cheering the loudest after finding himself a cool $1 million richer from the May 15 Lotto Max draw. “I checked my ticket at the ticket-check- er; when I saw the amount I asked the person next to me to verify it for me,” Mr. Baugh said. “I couldn’t believe it.” Mr. Baugh, who’s been staying with his sister, was eager to share his good news with family and friends and has big plans for the winnings. “I am going to buy a house, start a busi- ness and invest the rest,” he said. Mr. Baugh’s winning ticket was pur- chased at Convenience King on Kingston Road in Pickering. Other Durham residents had a lucky spring as well, with Brooklin resident James McCormack winning $82,612.60 in the March 7 Lotto 6/49 draw. The winning ticket was purchased at the Kitchen Food Fair on Baldwin Street in Whitby. In Ajax, residents Wendy Spencer and Carlos Gayle are celebrating after winning $183,397.10 in the May 1 Lotto Max draw. Their winning ticket was purchased at the Metro grocery store on Salem Road in Ajax. PICKERING -- Lottery winner Julian Baugh with his $1-million cheque. OLG photo Durham health department begins West Nile virus surveillance activities Ten confirmed cases of WNV last year DURHAM -- The Durham Region health department has started West Nile virus surveillance activities for the 2015 season. WNV, a mosquito-borne disease, is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected by feeding on the blood of a bird that carries the virus. The disease is not passed from person to person or from bird to person. WNV has been found in birds, mosqui- toes, horses and humans in Ontario since 2001. Since that time, evidence of the virus has fluctuated each year, with more activ- ity reported in 2012 than in previous years. In 2014, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care reported 10 confirmed human cases of the virus in Ontario, as compared to 53 in 2013. Durham Region had no reported human cases of WNV during 2014, while three cases were reported in 2013. In addition, there were no WNV positive adult mosqui- to pools identified in the Region in 2014, compared to 15 in 2013. As part of its monitoring activities, the health department uses indicators such as adult and larval mosquito surveillance to determine the risk of WNV for area resi- dents. “Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water,” said Ross MacEachern, manager of environmental health with the health department. “Area residents are remind- ed to remove or cover any standing water around their homes to help reduce the development of mosquito larvae.” Throughout the summer, the health department will conduct a number of activities to monitor WNV concerns across Durham, including implementing an adult mosquito-trapping program, a larval mos- quito surveillance program and a larvicid- ing program. The health department recommends the following specific steps to help mini- mize potential breeding sites for mosqui- toes: chlorinate rain barrels or cover them with mosquito screening; drain water from areas such as pools and chair covers, and containers such as ceramic pots, wad- ing pools, bird baths and planters; check that roof gutters are clear and drain prop- erly; clean and properly maintain swim- ming pools and outdoor hot tubs; remove all unused tires from property; and ensure that drainage ditches are not backed up. To help reduce the possibility of being exposed to WNV, the Region also encour- ages residents to take the following precau- tions: wear shoes, socks and light-coloured clothing with long sleeves and full-length pants when outside, especially overnight between dusk and dawn when mosqui- toes are most active; ensure doors and windows have screens that are tight-fitting and in good repair; keep grass, shrubs and hedges trimmed; turn over compost piles regularly; and use insect repellent con- taining DEET on exposed skin, following Health Canada’s safety tips on using per- sonal insect repellents. More information from Health Can- ada on using insect repellents contain- ing DEET can be found in at http://bit. ly/1PIt1wy .

Officers responded after receiv- ing a call about a man climbing onto the roof of the plaza, at Kings- ton and Whites roads, at about 11:40 p.m. May 20, Durham police said. A man was arrested on the roof; police determined the car he was driving had been reported stolen and that several stolen items, including personal identi- fication, were inside the vehicle. Jesse Brian Teel 30, of no fixed address faces several charges, including attempted break and enter and posses- sion of property obtained by crime. 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 • Ma y 2 7 , 2 0 1 5 10 AP All components of a home are looked at Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Is your dream house a poten- tial money pit of repairs? To an untrained eye, the house looks perfect. To someone with a trained eye, the downspouts might be too short, caulk- ing is needed around some windows or perhaps the furnace has seen better days. That’s where spending a few hundred dollars on a home inspector could be a big-time money saver down the road. Long-time home inspector Bob Durno can attest to the need to have a home, even a newly-built one, inspected before it’s bought. An inspection will give a buyer a “better valuation of what they’re spending their money on. We lay out the major problems found in the house,” Mr. Durno said. During an inspection, the “major sys- tems of the home are inspected,” such as the roof, exterior, electrical, heating, plumbing, cooling, insulation and the interior of the house, he noted. “A home inspection cannot identify every item flaw in the home, as inspec- tions are visual inspections,” Mr. Durno cautioned. “No destructive testing is per- formed during a home inspection. The inspection and report will put you in a better position to make an informed decision regarding your purchase of the home.” He added, “I go with what we see. I write a report on what we see.” Most of his business involves doing inspections for people looking to buy a house. Inspecting a newly-built home is a good idea for the provincial homeowners warranty program. For all this, he charges $375 plus HST. “You get a lot of people just starting off and they’re going to charge $275 to get business. I’ve lost a lot of inspections because I won’t drop $25. They’re spend- ing $300,000 on a house and they want to save $25. You get what you pay for. It’s not in their best interests, I believe,” he said. “I start outside and I take a lot of pic- tures. It’s a checklist for myself, to see what I did wrong. I can do the list and say ‘did I get this’?” Once inside, he goes through each room. He’s looking for issues such as water stains. He also uses an infrared camera to look for imperfections. The camera can pinpoint potential problems that can’t be seen. In the basement, he checks the electrical panel and the furnace. If the basement is finished, he uses a moisture metre to see if there are water leaks. “It’s the best I can do because I can’t see through walls.” An inspection takes two to three hours. He provides each client with an exten- sive written report along with pho- tographs of items of issues that need addressing. “It’s quite detailed.” He said clients can read the report and then they can make the decision on whether to buy the house or not. “I don’t like to recommend they buy,” he noted, preferring the client make the decision. When asked what’s the worst he’s seen, Mr. Durno laughs. “I’ve seen some bad stuff.” He declined to give details. He noted most reputable inspectors don’t do repairs or recommend contrac- tors. “It’s considered a conflict of interest.” Mr. Durno said clients should ensure their inspector belongs to a professional organization, such as the Ontario Associ- ation of Home Inspectors or the Canadian Association of Professional Home Inspec- tors. These groups require members to take ongoing education courses to main- tain their credentials. Clients are “encouraged to attend the inspection,” he said. “This can be a learn- ing experience for most buyers.” He added if an inspector doesn’t allow a client to attend, the client shouldn’t use the inspector. How this impacts you • For about $400, a home inspection could save a home buyer hundreds, if not thou- sands, of dollars in unexpected repairs. • During an inspection, all systems are examined, including roof, exterior, electri- cal, heating, plumbing, cooling, insulation and the interior of the house. • An inspection will give a client a better understanding of the value of their pro- spective home. How to hire a mover If your movers are relatives and bud- dies, things to consider are limited to rent- ing a truck and what type of food -- KFC versus pizza -- and beer are required to get the job done. For those planning to hire a mover, the considerations are little more involved. The Canadian Mortgage and Hous- ing Corporation suggests asking friends and relatives to recommend a professional mover. Ask a mover for an estimate and how they charge -- is it a flat rate or by the hour? And, ask for references. After selecting a mover, have them come to your home to ensure the estimate is OK. Check with your insurance broker to make sure your belongings are insured during the move. A lot of moving compa- nies offer additional insurance coverage. Move valuable items, such as money, jewelry and important papers, yourself. Atlas Van Lines notes that packing shouldn’t be left until the last minute. It takes longer than it seems. What to do when moving The adage goes that the devil is in the details. That is an apt description of mov- ing. Before moving, break it down into phases. As soon as you know you’re mov- ing, the first step, according to Two Men and A Truck, is to reserve a truck (if mov- ing yourself) or hire a mover. Clean out closets, the garage and the attic. There’s no use taking items you consider junk; bet- ter to get rid of it. Hold a garage sale or donate things to charity. If you have school-age children, arrange to transfer school records. Head over to the post office for change of address cards. A week or two before moving day, schedule to have the gas, electricity, water and telephone (for those with a land line) disconnected. And, schedule connects for your new home. Cancel such things as TV and any other services you have. The week of the move, mail out the change of address cards and clean the stove. When the big day is upon you, make sure you have enough cash to see you through for a few days. When you move into your new home, you may want to consider having the exter- nal locks changed for security purposes. Home inspectionIt could save you from costly repairs down the road DURHAM — (Front page photo) Having a home inspected prior to purchase is strongly urged. Longtime home inspec- tor Bob Durno prepared a video camera (photo at right) to look into a chimney at a home in Oshawa. An inspection takes two to three hours and could save a buyer hundreds, if not thousands, of dol- lars in upgrades or repairs. (Photo above) Mr. Durno gave the furnace a thorough inspection.

More than 300 hundred athletes between the ages of 8-13 from teams all over Eastern Canada made the trip to com- pete for the No. 1 spot at the top of the podi- um. Members of Team Impact Wrestling Club, based in Durham Region, made the trip down the QEW to not only represent their club, but also their community. In total, 29 male and female members of the club from across the Durham and Toronto region stepped on the mat against some of the country’s best in their respective age groups. For many of the Team Impact ath- letes, this was their first time attending the yearly festival. Many have been training any- where between two to three nights a week. When the final whistle was blown, Team Impact wrestlers walked away with an impressive medal haul that was unmatched by any other club. In total, the club took home 15 gold, seven silver, five bronze, one 5th place and team titles in novice boys (ages 8-9), bantam boys and girls (ages 12-13). Their impressive 124 team points was a new festival record that resulted in the club being named overall club champi- ons. The success of the athletes is not only due to their commitment and endless hours of training in preparation for this major event, but to their coaches Ken Burgess, Courtney Lewis, Laura Steffler, Rob Hug- gins, Dan Chartres, Paul Harrison and Kyle Chorcolan, who have dedicated their time in teaching these athletes what it takes to become a champion. Novice (ages 8-9) Taylor Prokosch gold (named female MVP), Matteo Romano gold, Manraj Dhillon silver, Caleb Chartres silver, Joey Prokosch silver, Alyna Eastmond bronze, Tiago Roop- chand bronze Kid (Ages 10-11) Katelyn Romano gold, Jullian Kato gold, Dylan Chocorlan gold, Jake Prokosch silver, Phoenix Gatchalian silver, Blayne Helou bronze, Cruz Lewis 5th place Bantam (ages 12 and 13) Nyla Burgess gold, Kiera Kuebeck gold, Stone Lewis gold, Mateo Anisi gold, Mateo Valles gold, Patrik Leder gold, Kai Woods gold, Carson Young gold, Gregor McNeil gold, Lachlin McNeil gold, Amelia Blanco silver, Moriah-Lynn Morine silver, Suchnoor Dhillon bronze, Dechlan Papadopoulos bronze, Aiden Barclay honorable mention. QUEBEC -- Justin Linaker of the Kelowna Rockets tried to jam the puck past Oshawa Generals goalie Ken Appleby as Generals centre Anthony Cirelli tried to clear the crease during the first period of Tuesday’s game at the Memorial Cup. The Generals beat Kelowna 2-1 to earn a trip to Sunday’s final. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland Beat Kelowna Rockets 2-1 to punch ticket to championship game on Sunday night at 7 Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com QUEBEC -- The Oshawa Generals are one win away from winning the franchise’s fifth Memorial Cup, and first in 25 years. The Generals hung on for a 2-1 win over the Kelowna Rockets Tuesday, May 26 at Le Colisee Pepsi, their third straight at the junior national championship, to advance straight to the final on Sunday, May 31. The Generals played their best game of the tournament so far, a defensive gem like they’re accustomed to, and held the lead through a scoreless third period and despite a late five-on-three Kelowna power play that lasted a full minute. The Generals took the lead when Cole Cassels converted a brilliant pass from Dakota Mermis 4:15 into the second period. Tobias Lindberg put Oshawa ahead 2-0 with 2:44 remaining in the period, keep- ing on a two-on-one and beating Kelow- na goalie Jackson Whistle through the pads. The Rockets showed some signs of life at the end of the period and scored a huge goal less than a minute after Lind- berg’s as Gage Quinney notched his tour- nament-leading fourth. Generals goalie Ken Appleby made a diving, cross-crease save on Rourke Chartier with about a minute left in the second period to maintain the lead, and made 11 stops in the third. Oshawa controlled a better part of the play through two periods, and ended up out-shooting Kelowna 29-21, but the Rockets had an 11-8 edge in the third. Michael Dal Colle, who leads the Gen- erals with five points at the tournament, was dominant in the game and picked up an assist on the Cassels goal, but he couldn’t find the net himself, including on a late empty net attempt. The Generals now await an opponent for the championship game on Sunday, May 31 at 7 p.m. The final round-robin game goes Wednesday, May 27 between the host Quebec Remparts (1-1) and Rimouski Oceanic (0-2).

On Saturday, Ajax first defeated U13 King United 2-0, then went on to win against U13 Leaside 360 Tigers 2-0. In the last game of the day, Ajax protected its streak by not ceding any goals to CGSL U14 Bolton Wanderers, ending the day with a tie game 0-0. On Sunday, Ajax kicked off the day with a semifinal win against King United 2-0 and then clinched the championship in the final playing up against the U14 Bolton team with a win in penalty shoot- outs. This is the Ajax team’s first tournament championship. Having only been togeth- er for little more than a year, the team has come a long way in a short time. Originally playing in house league at Pickering Soccer Club, the girls were looking for a chance to play at a higher competitive level. Without an opportuni- ty to do so in Pickering, the girls turned their sights to Ajax Soccer Club, where coach Michalicka gave them the oppor- tunity to play at the rep level. “This tournament win demonstrates the girls’ ability and desire to compete. I’m very proud of them and look forward to continuing their development into an even stronger team,” she said. Team members include Reesa Barrett, Khalea Brathwaite, Lianne Camilleri, Alessia Cicciarella, Kristina Floras-Juru- kovski, Alexis Glykis, McKenna Lavine, Serena McDonald, Samantha McKee, Iman Osman, Alyssa Pound, Emma Rob- son, Asiyah Shakeek, Eve Sihvonen, Zoe Somersall, Mia Webb and Riley Woods.
