The victims, a 95-year-old Pickering woman and her 73-year-old daughter, were accosted by two male sus- pects as they walked to their vehicle outside the bank, on Kingston Road at Rougemount Drive at about 5:20 p.m., Durham police said. The 73-year-old woman was knocked down and her purse was stolen, police said. She sustained minor injuries that didn’t require medical attention. The suspects, described as black men in their teens or early 20s, fled to a wait- ing vehicle being driven by an accom- plice, leaving behind the woman’s purse and making off with cash, police said.

The suspect is believed to have assumed the identity of a Peterborough man between September and November last year when he opened accounts at TD Canada and Royal Bank branches, Durham police said. He also obtained Rogers cellphones, an American Express-Costco membership card and a Sony Style credit card by taking advantage of the unwitting victim’s good credit rating.

DURHAM -- Durham police officers have been cleared of any wrongdoing after three investigations by the provincial Special Investigations Unit, including a probe into the death of a man after a confrontation with cops in Whitby last summer. • A man went into cardiac arrest and died Aug. 14 after a confrontation with Dur- ham cops, who responded to a report of an impaired person walking around a north Whitby neighbourhood with a bat. Offi- cers subdued the man, who became ill after ingesting an unknown substance. Efforts to revive him failed. After receiving a medical opinion about the cause of the man’s death, SIU investigators exonerated the officers. • Durham cops were also found to have committed no wrongdoing during an inci- dent Oct. 24 where a man plunged five stories during a drug raid in Oshawa. The man, 18, tried to climb from a balcony as cops arrived at an apartment to execute a search warrant. • Officers were also cleared in a Nov. 16 incident in Ajax during which a man stabbed himself as officers arrived at a Falby Court apartment for a domestic complaint. Officers subdued the man with a Taser. The SIU is a civilian agency that investigates incidents of death or serious injury involving police officers.

Construction has officially begun on the 250-metre, enclosed bridge that will pro- vide safe and convenient travel for pedes- trians. It will link the GO station on the south side of Hwy. 401 to the office tower and the GO parking lot on the north side, east of Liverpool Road. The parking lot is currently being constructed at the base of the tower and will provide more than 500 parking spaces for GO Transit commuters. “This is actually one of our most impor- tant stations in the GO system,” said Gary McNeil, president of GO Transit, at the groundbreaking Tuesday. He added more than 4,000 people use the station each day, and that number is expected to grow over time. The Province has identified Pickering’s downtown core as a transportation hub and an urban growth centre in its regional transportation plan, and the area is expect- ed to explode in coming years. Aside from the start of the bridge, the office tower that’s currently being constructed on the north side of Hwy. 401 has leased out almost all of its office space already. “It will be the first of many to come, I believe,” Mayor Dave Ryan said of the tower. He explained the bridge has been in the works since 1996 and was a vision of the council of the day, most notably Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson. According to a GO Transit press release, in October 1995, Pickering council approved the Town of Pickering Trails and Bikeway Master Plan, which identi- fied Hwy. 401 as a barrier to safe and con- venient north-south bike and pedestrian travel in Pickering. The bridge proposal was developed shortly afterward. Coun. Dickerson, who said 14 years ago the bridge would be a catalyst for econom- ic growth in the area, was at the ground- breaking and said it feels “great” to see that vision coming to fruition. “It feels even better that I’m still in office to witness it,” he said. Mr. McNeil said the bridge is one of a kind. “Really, this is the first major bridge crossing over the 401 for pedestrians only,” he said. Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson was excited for the construction. “This looks like it’s going to be the bridge which is the gateway to Durham Region,” he said. The provincial and federal governments will contribute $5 million toward the proj- ect, and GO Transit will pay the remaining $12.5 million.

Planning committee refers letter to Ottawa to next council meeting KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- With the clock ticking, council hopes to save some of Pick- ering’s cultural heritage by sending a strong message to the federal govern- ment. Council will on Jan. 17 put final touch- es on a letter asking the federal minister of transportation to hold off demolishing seven structures of heritage value on the Pickering airport land until a decision on an airport is made. On Tuesday, the planning and development committee referred the item to the council meeting in order to come up with the best plan possible before the Jan. 31 deadline. The seven homes located on the federal lands have been listed on the Pickering Heritage Register as being culturally sig- nificant. “There are dozens and dozens of these buildings we’ve lost over the years,” said Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. In August, Ottawa informed the City it would demolish more than 40 structures on the site. Upon the City’s request, Transport Canada agreed to hold off on nine of the buildings until the end of January so they could undergo a detailed assessment. The City hired a consulting team, including local historians, to identify the building’s structural and heritage signif- icance. They found seven are consid- ered sound and can still be restored, warranting preser- vation. But now the City needs more time to roll out a plan to save the buildings. The letter will also ask the feds to reinstate a local heritage steering com- mittee to develop a strategy for build- ings deemed locally significant. Coun. Pickles noted there was one in the past, and asked why the meetings stopped. “We’re not sure why. The federal gov- ernment just stopped holding meetings,” said planning and development director Neil Carroll. Coun. Pickles noted this problem probably wouldn’t be happening if the committee hadn’t been lost in the first place. Apart from this current round of demo- litions, about 100 more buildings on the heritage register sit on the federal lands, Mr. Carroll said. According to the report, some are occupied but others are vacant and are not being maintained. “The house I’m in is 180 years old,” said Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues. “Don’t you (Transport Cana- da) take care of your property?” The City will also ask Transport Can- ada for reimbursement for the recent assessment, as well as pre-funding for future assessments of the 100 additional homes. CITY HALL Pickering hopes to save local heritage homes There are dozens and dozens of these buildings we’ve lost over the years. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles DAVID PICKLES POPPY CONTROVERSY Street naming should be reserved for Canadian veterans To the editor: Re: Street naming policy has been amend- ed in the past, letter to the editor, durham- region.com, Jan. 5, 2011. I’m sure the majority of Canadians would agree that it’s not a question of being “open-minded” or of discrimination against “Canadian citizens serving in allied militaries” but rather a simple, common- sense approach to recognize those who made the ultimate sacrifice for Canada, not for another country. With all due respect to those who have served a country other than this beloved one, street naming in our Canadian munic- ipalities should be reserved for those who represented Canada. If you, or a member of your family, served for another country, please feel free to focus your determination where it should be and take up your cause with the country you fought for. Also, please do not accuse any of our Canadian Legions of being unsupportive of this issue. Our Canadian Legions are just that -- Canadian. Gillian Renee Ajax BYLAWS ‘Unreasonable’ ticket from Pickering irks resident To the editor: I received a very strange parking infrac- tion notice on Saturday, Jan. 8. The notice was for “stopping while salt/ sand or snow clearing is underway.” The strange part is that the salt/sand and snow-removal trucks were already by our street and I moved my car off my driveway for 20 minutes while I used my snowblow- er to clear the driveway. The ticket is for $25 if paid within seven days but $38 if paid within 15 days. If I want to dispute the ticket, I need to take time off work to go to the City of Pickering offices to file a notice, then get a court date and then take more time off to appear in the Whitby court. If I lose in court, I would need to pay court costs, too. Even if I win, all this would likely cost more than $25 in gas, plus time lost off work, so there is no winning this. I have lived in Pickering for more than 13 years. I have always been able to clear my drive- way without having to get a fine. Isn’t this just getting unreasonable? Frank Andreacchi Pickering SPORTS Be proud of Team Canada for winning silver medal To the editor: Re: ‘Heartbreak for de Haan’, news, dur- hamregion.com, Jan. 5, 2011. I was at the heartbreaker and could only feel for our team and it still is hard to believe. If you had said three weeks ago that we would be in the gold-medal game, most would not think so. I watched as Team USA won the bronze over Sweden and how happy they were but they were the pre-tourna- ment favourites. So how is it that we win the silver and it’s a failure? I know we had a 3-0 lead but this game is built on emotion and pressure and it’s a fine line. I will always stand behind our team. I salute Calvin, Ryan Ellis (who played hurt) and now Brayden Schenn is out with a shoulder separation. Our team did a great job overall and we all should be proud of them. In the last 10 years, we have played in the gold-medal game and of the last seven we have broken the other teams’ hearts five times. No shame in silver. Congrats, Team Canada, on a job well done.

These sure seem to be good times for the Oshawa Generals, at any rate, despite the fact they’re coming off a disappointing 4-3 loss at home against their fiercest rivals, the Peterborough Petes. The news of late has been almost exclu- sively positive, especially when you view the Ontario Hockey League club as a springboard to bigger and better things, an opportunity to advance the careers of these young men donning the red, white and blue of the Generals. Of the 24 players on the team’s current roster, five have already been drafted by National Hockey League teams, includ- ing captain Calvin de Haan and top scorer Christian Thomas in the top two rounds. That list is on the verge of perhaps dou- bling for next season; that is, at least, if the mid-term rankings of NHL Central Scout- ing are an accurate gauge. Four Oshawa players are among 210 on the list of North American skaters, includ- ing a remarkable three in the top 50, with Boone Jenner at 18th, Nicklas Jensen at 20th and Lucas Lessio at 44th. A ranking that high typically results in players being drafted in the first two rounds. Defenceman Colin Suellentrop is down a fair bit further, at 117th, but he has made nice strides this season and should also find a home. Tyler Biggs, who’s fifth on the list, is also property of the Generals, but currently part of the United States development program. Chris DePiero, head coach and general manager of the team, has been optimistic from the day he drafted him in 2009, that Biggs could call Oshawa home next season. If it plays out that way, and even if it doesn’t perhaps, the Generals will be among the most feared teams in the league next season, an explosive offensive force. The team is likely to lose de Haan to the pro ranks, a promotion that will have been earned through his time with the Generals. He came to Oshawa as a small and unher- alded defenceman from the Ottawa area, and will leave as a first-round draft pick of the New York Islanders and two-time silver medallist at the world junior hockey cham- pionships. Next week, Jenner, Jensen and Lessio will be among 40 Canadian Hockey League players taking part in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game in Toronto, a sign that they too aren’t far from the big leagues. We should enjoy them all while they’re here. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 13, 20117 AP Monday through Thursday - Evenings Saturdays - 10am to 2pm Female Doctor Available Glendale Walk-In Clinic Clinic Hours Starting January 2011 905-831-1110 1101 Kingston Road (Dairy Queen Plaza), Pickering We offer a 10% Seniors Discount Everyday! %%%%%• We are a Compounding• We are a Compounding Pharmacy.

Lt. Governor David Onley talks about his career and life-long learning MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- What started as a class assign- ment ended in a visit by a prominent polit- ical figure to a local high school on Mon- day. As part of a Grade 10 careers course at O’Neill Collegiate, student Robin Evans and his classmates were told to invite someone with an unusual job to speak to their class. Robin invited family friend Lieutenant-Governor David C. Onley. “Since the teacher asked for someone with a unique job, I thought of him,” he said. “There are only 10 (lieutenant-gover- nors) in Canada.” The honoured guest entered the school’s audi- torium down a red carpet set out for the occa- sion and talked to students about his position and the responsibil- ity that comes with his role as the Queen’s rep- resentative in the province. Lieutenant-gov- ernors are the ultimate guardians of the democratic pro- cess, he said, positioned above elected officials as a safeguard. He discussed the work of his predeces- sors and explained how their actions made Ontario what it is today. “It’s important to understand how we got here and what our system is all about.” The first lieutenant-governor of Ontar- io, John Graves Simcoe, made profound changes to the province, called Upper Can- ada at the time, including introducing the court system and moving the capital of the province to Toronto, Lt.-Gov. Onley told an auditorium of students. Ontario’s first lieutenant-governor was also integral to moving human rights for- ward, Lt.-Gov. Onley said. “He set in motion a series of measures that in effect ended slavery.” He told students to prepare for a lifetime of learning because they live in a society where technology is changing rapidly. “I have a surprise for you, the learning doesn’t end when you leave these hal- lowed halls,” he said. After Lt.-Gov. Onley’s speech, Robin called him a role model for all. 905-665-7575 3500 Brock St. N., Whitby www.chatterpauls.com Chatterpaul’s Fine Casual Dining& Lounge We Would Like To Say A Huge Thank You To Our Fabulous And Loyal Customers Who Have Made Chatterpaul’s A Winner In So Many Reader’s Choice Awards For 2010 And For Nominating Us As • Best All Around Restaurant • Best Business Lunch Restaurant • Best Steak Restaurant • Best Independent • And Best Seafood Restaurant We Take Great Pride In Being Your Number One Choice As Best Fine Dining Restaurant And Are Extremely Proud That You Have Selected Our Chef, Chad, As The Top Chef In Durham Region.

The Town’s business development department and the library are team- ing up on the project and each session will be led by experts from Ajax’s Search Engine People, Canada’s largest Internet marketing company. “The Town of Ajax should be com- mended for its commitment to the com- munity and businesses in the communi- ty. This 10-course undertaking gives Ajax- based businesses a tremendous advan- tage online when compared to other municipalities,” said Jeff Quip, CEO for Search Engine People Inc. The first workshop was held on Jan. 5 and focused on the basics of develop- ing a business Facebook page, why a business needs ‘fans’, and how to cre- ate momentum in developing a business following. The next session, on Feb. 5, is called Advanced Facebook and focuses on apps for the popular social media site. The session will run from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and registration is required. Con- tact the Town’s business development team at priority@townofajax.com or 905-683-3000. Sessions will continue on the first Wednesday of every month this year except for July and August. Topics will include Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, search engine optimization, Google analytics and more. “Each year, the Town’s business devel- opment team surveys the local busi- ness network to clarify needs,” said Lisa Hausz, manager of business develop- ment and marketing for the Town. “One of the overwhelming demands is assistance in navigating the social mar- keting tools available for businesses.” Ms. Hausz added the series was made possible through the partnership with the library, Search Engine People and CIBC.

The dog, a chocolate-coloured female Stafford- shire terrier, was spotted by passersby near Han- cock Road and Hwy. 2 in Courtice on Jan. 8. Her toenails were overgrown, she had sores on her body and was trembling due to the cold weather. “We don’t think she was there very long because I don’t think she would have survived in the bitter temperature in her condition,” said animal cruel- ty investigator Debby Houghton. “It amazes me that somebody couldn’t do the right thing as opposed to leaving an emaciated dog in a ditch.” The dog, named Gracie by shelter staff, is esti- mated to be about six years old. She is currently being cared for at the new loca- tion of the Humane Society, 1505 Wentworth St. in Whitby, while the investigation continues, Ms. Houghton added. “She went to a vet, we’ve got her on medica- tion and eating proper food so it will be a process where she’ll have to be fed four or five times dur- ing the day and then we’ll hopefully get her into a foster home.” The shelter has seen a spike in the number of neglected dogs discovered across the region. Sev- eral dogs have been rescued over the past two months, including three pitbulls. “It’s hard to say why this sort of thing happens,” said Ms. Houghton. “Whether it’s the economy and people can’t afford veterinarian costs or it’s just that they can’t NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Class Environmental Assessment to address Outfall Capacity Limitations at the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant In 2006 the Regional Municipalities of York and Durham completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment that identified the preferred strategy for expanding wastewater treatment capacity at the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) from a capacity of 420 million litres per day (MLD) to 630 MLD. Construction of the expansion is underway, with completion scheduled for 2011. Treated effluent from the WPCP is discharged via an outfall that facilitates rapid assimilation of the treated effluent into Lake Ontario. An assessment of the existing outfall determined that it will reach its capacity at approximately 560 MLD, which will limit the operating capacity of the expanded WPCP. The Regions are working to resolve the outfall capacity limitations prior to WPCP flows reaching the lesser rate of 520 MLD. The Study York and Durham Regions are jointly initiating a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to identify the preferred method of addressing the future capacity limitations of the existing outfall. The study will follow Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process (as amended October 2007), and will satisfy the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA will define the issues to be addressed, identify feasible alternatives, evaluate the technical, natural, social/cultural, and economic impacts of the alternatives, and recommend a solution. The Class EA process provides members of the public and agencies with opportunities for input and ensures that all comments are appropriately addressed and documented for the public record. The Consultation Process Public and agency consultation is a key component of the Class EA process and the submission of comments is encouraged at any time during the study. Comments may be submitted via the project website at www.durham.ca/OutfallEA or via email at info@outfallEA.com or by contacting either of the Regions’ Project Managers directly at: Mr. Rich Tindall, P.Eng.

Silver medals are awarded each academ- ic year to Conservatory exam candidates in Preparatory A and B and grades 1 to 10 who achieve the highest standard of excellence in their province or region. Eligible candidates must score at least 80 per cent on their practical exam and complet- ing theory exams for their respective grade and discipline. “Kayla scored a 96 (per cent),” said her proud father, Glen McFarland. She was awarded alongside other pianists at a silver medal ceremony at the Royal Conser- vatory’s TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning on Jan. 8. Mr. McFarland pointed out famous Canadi- an pianist Glenn Gould was a recipient of the same award. “It’s pretty amazing,” he said. Kayla’s reason for taking piano lessons in the first place was simple. “Daddy, he used to play the piano, then we wanted us to start so we started,” she said. The “we” refers to her younger sister, Paige, six, and brother, Noah, four. Noah began tak- ing lessons in September when the girls’ teacher, Marion Roberts, determined he was ready. Mr. McFarland only played for a couple of years and wished he’d stayed the course. His mother played as well and gave her piano to her grandchildren when she learned of their interest. “I didn’t really like to practise at first but then I got some really fun songs that made me want to practise more,” Kayla said, adding The Bronze Bear is a personal favourite. While Kayla has a busy schedule -- she also participates in swimming, skating and Irish dancing -- she can often be heard playing the piano while waiting to leave for school in the mornings or squeezing it in at night. She takes lessons once a week. “We encourage her to practise a bit every day,” Mr. McFarland said. When she gets frustrated during practise, she’s learned to “go and take a break.” Recitals can be nerve-wracking for Kayla because she’s “afraid of messing up,” but she’s learned to master the odd mistake. “I just continue to play and pretend it’s part of a song,” she said. Although she plans to be a dentist, a nurse and an artist, she said she’ll continue to play because “it makes me happy.” JASON LIEBREGTS / METROLAND Pilates demo at open house PICKERING -- Gabrielle Manski and Lisa Kennedy demonstrated a pilates reformer during an open house at the Pickering Recreation Complex Jan. 8.

The program is now three years in the running and what started out as a pilot project has become a demand longed for by many of the other insti- tutions. From September to December, Zanshin School in Ajax promoted educational karate for its members and gave back to the community with several speakers in different fields of expertise. During the last two terms, Zanshin students were educated and trained on the art, sport, technical, ethical and philosophical areas of karatedo. For its efforts, the Zanshin School of Karate was presented with the May- or’s certificate of recognition to sensei Stephen Parris for his contribution and commitment to youth education in the community. Anyone interested in more infor- mation about the school can contact Parris at 905-427-2252 or e-mail sir- rap@gmx.com. BASKETBALL Agunbiade named Rookie of the Week for Duquesne PITTSBURGH, PENN. -- It didn’t take Wumi Agunbiade very long to establish herself in NCAA Division 1 basketball. The Dunbarton graduate earned her second straight, and fourth of the season, Rookie of the Week honours as a member of the Duquesne wom- en’s basketball team. The six-foot-two freshman paced Duquesne to a perfect 3-0 record, including a pair of road wins at Ohio State and Ball State, along with a home win over Austin Peay. The 18-year-old forward averaged 15.0 points and 8.0 rebounds in the three contests, shooting 63 per cent (19-30) from the floor and 60 per cent (3-5) from long distance. Agunbiade added eight steals, four assists and two blocks for the Dukes. NCAA HOCKEY Link goes a long way back Former Pickering Panthers eye NCAA championship at Oswego State SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- From their later days in minor hockey, through junior and now at the college level, there has been one constant for Whitby natives Kevin Huinink and Justin Fox. The presence of each other. Huinink and Fox have been teammates almost as long as they’ve been friends, and by the end of their senior season at State Uni- versity of New York in Oswego, the pair hopes to share one more experience: an NCAA championship. And while plenty of work lies ahead if the two, along with their Lakers teammates, hope to achieve that goal, it wasn’t all that long ago really that Huinink considered icing his hockey dreams. Following the conclusion of his minor hockey days in Whitby, Huinink had attended rookie camp for the Tier II Junior A Pickering Panthers and when it appeared nothing would be coming from that, he forged ahead with plans to attend school. Then one day the phone rang. John Winder was running the Panthers then and after one of his players had left the team, he invited Huinink in for another tryout. This time the defenceman made the grade. That opportunity to continue playing helped lead to a post-junior career, with the first stop -- for both him and Fox -- being Salem State in Massachusetts before finding a home at Oswego, a Division III program in New York State. Huinink proudly wears the captain’s C for the Lakers and relishes each day at the rink. “When you look back, it’s kind of flattering. It’s nice to still do something you love. I’ve just always loved playing hockey,” explains Huinink. “I wanted to play as long as I could because I had so much fun with it growing up. To still be doing it today at 23 years old is probably something I never thought I’d be doing.” And though currently in the midst of a two- week layoff, he and the Lakers are moving ahead quite well as their 15-2-0 record would attest. A major key to that has been the play of Fox, also a former Panther, but perhaps bet- ter known in these parts for his success on the lacrosse floor with the Junior B Claring- ton Green Gaels and Junior A Whitby War- riors. Though held without a point in the last two victories, Fox had entered the team’s brief Christmas break as the leading scorer with eight goals and 11 assists. He now sits third in that category. “It’s always good to contribute to the team. I guess you could say that is kind of my role on the team, to contribute offence, score goals,” says Fox. “So far the team is doing well and that’s all that really matters in the end. It’s a compete effort. Without the guys I play with, I wouldn’t be able to do the things I do per- sonally.” While Huinink made his decision to pur- sue hockey a few years back, Fox also had lacrosse in the equation when it came time to make his decision. He juggled both for a time, but it’s been a couple of years since Fox laced up the shoes and grabbed the stick. However, with his hockey career winding down, Fox didn’t rule out the possibility of getting back on the floor. “I haven’t played since my last year with the Warriors, which was two years ago now. I’ve played lacrosse since I was a kid and hockey since I was a kid. It was something that peo- ple always told me I was better at and should stick with. It’s always in the back of my mind and once hockey is done, you never know what could come up,” he says. But in the meantime, hockey remains the focus as Oswego, ranked No. 1 in the OSCHO. com Division III poll alongside St. Norbert, work towards their national championship goal. As seniors, both Fox and Huinink agree that it’s boom or bust in their final year. Anything less than a championship will be unaccept- able. “I’d say that for sure. It’s always something you think about playing college hockey,” says Fox, whose father John won an NCAA cham- pionship in the 1970s with Boston Universi- ty. Huinink adds: “It would be a huge disap- pointment if we didn’t get back to the tour- nament, but the process of getting there is what we need to focus on right now.” Oswego’s next game is Jan. 21 at Buffalo State. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND WHITBY -- Justin Fox and Kevin Huinink are two local players who are key members of the men’s hockey team at Oswego State. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • January 13, 201114 AP HOCKEY Central scouting holding Gens quartet in high regard Pickering’s Brennan Serville also makes NHL prospect list OSHAWA -- Four current mem- bers of the Oshawa Generals -- and one possible future mem- ber -- were among the notable names featured on the NHL Central Scouting’s mid-season rankings for the 2011 draft. Highly-touted forwards Boone Jenner and Nicklas Jensen were the highest-rated Generals, with Jenner clocking in at No. 18 on the list of North American skat- ers and Jensen, who has been on an offensive tear as of late, was just two spots back at No. 20. With 14 points in his last seven games, Jensen is now third in the Generals in scoring with 18-16-34 totals in 32 games. Jenner, meanwhile, has just 11 goals in 35 games, but does have 34 points and evidently in the eyes of scouts, has been effec- tive at both ends of the ice for Oshawa. Lucas Lessio, who arrived in town with much fanfare last summer after opting out of scholarship at the University of Michigan, was on at the list at No. 44. After a bit of a slow stretch before the Christmas break, Lessio has come back from the holiday seemingly reinvigorated with five goals and nine points in six games and, all told, the left-winger has 16-17-33 totals in 39 games. All three of them will be in Toronto next week to compete at the Home Hardware NHL/ CHL Top Prospects Game at the Air Canada Centre. Meanwhile, second-year defenceman Colin Suellentrop has quietly worked his way into the picture, making Central Scouting’s list at No. 117 after a solid first half to the OHL sea- son. Not a huge points guy, as his nine assists in 38 games attests to, Suellentrop has been a rock in his own end and is second on the team among defenceman in plus-minus at plus-12, trail- ing only captain and New York Islanders first-round pick Cal- vin de Haan. Suellentrop, a native of Plan- tation, Florida, played for the United States U18 program last summer at the 2010 Memorial of Ivan Hlinka. Another American, and for- mer second-round pick of the Generals in 2009, Tyler Biggs, also found his name on the list, all the way up near the top at No. 4. Biggs has a scholarship lined up to attend Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, but has been rumored as a possibility to join the Generals’ lineup next sea- son when the team is expected to take a run at the OHL cham- pionships and a Memorial Cup. Biggs is currently a part of the U.S. National Team Develop- ment Program that plays in the United States Hockey League. Also of note, Pickering’s Brennen Serville of the OJHL’s Stouffville Spirit and Bowman- ville’s Brian Bunnett, an ex- Bowmanville Eagle now with the Wellington Dukes, also made the list. Serville was listed at No. 145 and Bunnett came in at No. 161.

The team went undefeat- ed in group play, scoring 16 and only conceding two goals. After winning their group, Madrid played the very strong Cherry Beach U13 boys who currently sit in first place in the Han- gar Downsview U13 boys’ indoor league with a record of 7-0. Madrid got off to a great start, taking the lead five minutes in. Madrid worked hard for the insur- ance goal but missed a number of chances. Cherry Beach equalized with less than 10 minutes to play off a corner kick. Madrid almost won the game in the final seconds, only to see a well- hit volley go inches over. The game was decided on penalties with Madrid win- ning 3-1 after three great penalty saves by Madrid goalkeeper Devin Smith. The team is playing a year up in the Wild Water King- dom Indoor League where they currently sit in first place with a 5-0 record, with 16 goals scored and only two conceded.

When we set about completely redesigning the 2011 Jetta, we paid special attention to every detail, especially the price. The All-New Jetta is our most affordable Jetta ever, but that doesn’t mean we’ve cut corners – quite the opposite, actually. Class-leading cargo space†, class-leading rear passenger space†, and bold new German styling mean that, when it comes to delivering bang for buck, we’ve decided that the bigger the bang, the better. THE ALL-NEW 2011 JETTA FROM ONLY $XX,XXX* *Base MSRP of a new and unregistered 2011 Jetta 2.0L base model with 5-speed manual transmission is $15,875 (including $1,365 freight and PDI, $29 EHF (tires), $5 OMVIC fee and up to $295 dealer administration fee). License, insurance,registration, options, TFFC, if applicable, and other applicable taxes are extra. Dealer may sell for less. 2011 Jetta 2.0L Comfortline as shown is $20,475 with options and accessories. Model shown with wheels that are not available on the trimline shown in Canada. Dealer order/trade may be necessary.
