Page B2 ♦ THE CANADIAN STATESMAN ♦ May 10,2006 durhamregion.com Gens gamble with a couple of picks From page B1 Generals club that owned the league's second worst power play last season, and only received 20 goals from various blue-liners throughout the year. In the second round, Selwood believes he made a steal with the selection of Sault Ste. Marie centre Dean Howard. "He is the closest thing to (Ottawa 67's rookie) Logan Couture that I have seen in a long time because he is so good defensively as well being able to play all three forward spots," Selwood says. "We are really, pleasantly surprised to get Dean Howard." They thought so highly of Howard, they passed on highly regarded goaltender Anthony Peters in the second round. Selwood's gamble paid off in the end, however, as he was able to nab Peters with his third round pick. "Did we gamble a bit?" Selwood asks. "Yeah we probably did. We were discussing Howard and Peters at the top of the second, we went with Howard, and we ended up with both. So obviously we are happy." Perhaps the most interesting pick Selwood made on Saturday Saturday came in the form of Robert Czarnik, a right winger from the Detroit Honeybaked 90's, who was taken in the sixth round. Czarnik was ranked No. 9 on the International Scouting Scouting Service's draft preview after posting 39-53-92 numbers in 49 games, but he fell to the sixth round because he has already committed to the University of Michigan. That is where things get interesting. Czarnik and Tavares are good friends, they train together and even share the same agent. With those connections in mind, Selwood took a chance on Czarnik, knowing he may never pull a Generals jersey on, yet intrigued enough at the thought that he might. ■ "I guess you could say. we took a flier on this kid, but if he ever comes, it'll be one heck of a gold strike," he says. "After talking with his agènt, it was clear if any team had a chance to get him into the OHL, it would be us." On the local front, with their final selection, the Generals took Oshawa product Evan MacLean. GENERALLY SPEAKING: A1 Clarke, formerly of the Mississauga Chargers organization has been hired on as Director of Player Development for the club... Coach/GM Brad Selwood is slated to meet with Peter Tsimikalis in the near future regarding the captain's status for next season. Tsimikalis finished the year on an amateur tryout with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL.

Breaking Records For A Cure From humble beginnings, the M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day has grown into CCFC's largest annual, fundraising activity by any single supporter. To date, M&M Meat Shops has raised more than $10 million million for medical research dedicated to finding a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, two similar yet distinct conditions also known as inflammatory inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Canada has the highest incidence incidence of Crohn's disease in the world and the incidence of ulcerative colitis is also among the highest, yet the public profile of this "taboo" disease disease continues to be low. There are more than 175,000 Canadians suffering suffering from .this painful and unpredictable unpredictable disorder, there is no known cause or cure, and the number of cases continues to grow. The funds raised through events such as Charity Charity BBQ Day have allowed CCFC to fund more than $40 million in medical medical research projects. Charity BBQ Day began in 1988, when Mac Voisin, Co-Founder of M&M Meat Shops, learned that Canadians suffer from IBD at an unusually unusually high rate. He quickly realized that he had the unique opportunity to help raise awareness and funds for a little known, and even less spoken about condition and Canadian charity. charity. Charity BBQ Day was born and the CCFC gained both a corporate sponsor and a public voice. Over the past 18 years, Charity BBQ Day has grown rapidly. Last year, $1.55 million million was raised and this year the goal is set at $1.75 million. "What began in 1988 with just a handful of stores has evolved into a national event at more than 400 M&M Meat Shops locations across Canada. It's definitely become become an expression of who we are as a company and the commitment of our franchisees and volunteers in communities from coast to coast," says Mac Voisin. "Our goal is to ' help find a cure so that our event can become an annual celebration of the cure for IBD." The success of Charity BBQ Day depends on the generous contri butions of several partners including Schneider Foods, Dutch Mill, Frito- Lay and Humpty Dumpty, who donate donate products for this event.
