The Oshawa Generals are looking for a new voice. Larry Jacula, voice of the Oshawa Generals for 24 years, will not be the hometown announcer for the team at the General Motors Centre this season. “I’m disappointed,” said Jacula. “I know from being at the game Sunday night that the fans were not pleased.” The decision to change the voice of the Generals was made in early August before the Oshawa Generals had begun training camp. “I loved it, every aspect of it,” said Jacula. “I loved interacting with Photo by Bruce Jones/The Oshawa Express the people.” After learning that Jacula would not be the Generals down Storm announcer for his favourite OHL team, he The Oshawa Generals downed the Guelph Storm 5-2 Sunday night during game four in the exhibition game at home at the General Motors Larry Jacula Centre.

Jacula said the Ontario Hockey League Arena Guide two years ago had referred to keeps him as “the best in the league” for announcing. A self-described “number one fan” of the Oshawa Generals, Jacula said being the the bowl announcer was “a bonus.” While no longer the voice of the team during home games, he said that won’t stop him from buying a ticket to future rollin’ games and supporting his favourite team.

The organization, which provides free non-medical, in-home palliative support for individuals and families facing a life-threaten- ing illness, is running a volunteer training program this fall for those wanting to donate their time. Volunteer duties include visiting clients in their homes, taking them for walks or outings, accompanying them to appointments, providing support to an overwhelmed caregiver or assisting with fund-raising efforts. Clients are of all ages and suffer from a variety of life threaten- ing illness including ALS, end stage heart disease and cancer. Some volunteers are specially trained to provide bereavement support for families dealing with the death of a loved one and Durham Hospice client. These volunteers also facilitate bereave- ment support groups, which operate on a bi-weekly basis in several local communities. The fall session begins Sept. 19 and runs from 6 to 9 p.m. for 10 consecutive Wednesdays (except Oct. 31) until Nov. 28 at the Durham Hospice office, 209 Dundas St. E., lower level unit #1, in Whitby. Pre-registration is required and a $50 fee is charged to cover the cost of materials. Topics covered will include communication, family dynamics, spirituality, psychological and social aspects of death and dying, grief and bereavement, ethics and more.
