The fourth-grader was riding his bike near the Rouge River and East Woodlands Park in Pickering with his mom, brother and sister in mid-October when spotted the large yellow leaf with bits of green in it. “I thought it was pretty big,” he said. So be brought it home to investigate and showed his find to his mom, Angie. “I’d never seen a leaf so huge,” she said. Joseph became so enthusiastic about his leaf that his parents decided to take it seri- ously. facebook.com/newsdurham twitter.com/newsdurham Pressrun 51,400 • 24 pages • Optional 3-week delivery $6/$1 newsstand CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND PICKERING -- Angie Donato looked with pride on Nov. 19 at her son, Joseph Donato, who recently was awarded a certificate from the Guinness World Records for having found the world’s largest maple leaf.

Those charged ranged in age from 19 to 56 and the majority are Durham residents, police said. Each year, Durham cops undertake an aggressive RIDE cam- paign, with officers each night checking hundreds of vehicles on roads through- out the region. It’s a high-profile initiative, kicked off each November with a media event stressing a simple message: don’t drink and drive. And each year, Durham leads GTA-area police services with the number of impaired charges laid. Last year, 122 motorists were charged with drunk driving offences by police working the RIDE beat. During the first week of this year’s cam- paign, officers checked 998 vehicles, admin- istered 74 roadside breath tests and issued three-day suspensions to 22 people who registered a warning level on testing devices. In addition, seven drivers with G1 or G2 per- mits were charged with breaching a zero- alcohol prohibition. The startling numbers led Chief Ewles to call on everyone, including bar owners and party organizers, to help combat drunk driv- ing. “We will not let up and these results make us want to work even harder,” Chief Ewles said. RIDE WEEK 1 Twenty-one drunk driving charges ‘shocking’: Chief MIKE EWLES JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A Durham police officer who pleaded guilty recently to assaulting two teenaged boys in Whitby has been given a suspended sentence and placed on proba- tion for 12 months. Last Monday’s conviction marked the second time this year Constable Basil Odei has been found guilty of criminal charges. In August, he was convicted of a domes- tic assault and handed a conditional dis- charge. In pleading guilty, Const. Odei agreed to a statement of facts read into the record by prosecutor Brian Gilkinson, who said the assaults arose from a spat among two groups of high school kids who gathered at a Whitby restaurant on Feb. 7, 2010 to watch the Super Bowl. There was some good-natured razzing of a younger group of boys by some older kids, Mr. Gilkinson said. But as the afternoon wore on, the remarks became more pointed. Const. Odei, 41, arrived at the Consum- ers Drive plaza to pick up his son, who told him he and his pals had been threatened by the older kids, court heard. The off-duty cop confronted the boys, punching one in the stomach and head and trying to pull another from inside his moth- er’s car, Mr. Gilkinson said. The muscular officer, dressed in a dark suit, sat with his head down throughout the proceeding, He declined an opportunity to address the court. Defence lawyer Bernie O’Brien said his client was angered when he learned his son and his friends had been targeted by the older boys. “Some of these young men were scared,” Mr. O’Brien said, adding one boy reported being called a n-----. Mr. Gilkinson said the alleged use of the epithet was “inconsistent with every other statement” made by witnesses at the scene. “I certainly would not accept any assertion that racial epithets were uttered,” he told Ontario Court Justice Donald Halikowski. The judge accepted the joint sentence submission. He said that while the 15-year officer’s actions were unacceptable, they’re understandable. “I understand exactly what Mr. Odei was going through that day, as could anybody else who’s a father or moth- er,” Justice Halikowski said. “Mr. Odei has accepted responsibility and did so quickly,” the judge added. Const. Odei has been suspended with pay since the incident in February. He faces a Police Services Act hearing on a count of discreditable conduct. 905-472-3085 HERONGATE DINNER THEATRE 2885 Altona Rd., Pickering Savings at herongate.com Funniest Show On Stage...

Volunteer organizers invited special guests to talk to the children at Altona Forest Public School, which was followed by a massive lunch, to help the children understand more about Eid-ul-Adha, the end of the Hajj. Some of the girls were even offering free temporary henna tattoos to the stu- dents who wanted them. “The Muslims in your school, they are your brothers and sis- ters,” said Alimamy Ban- gura of the Muslim Edu- cation Network. Mr. Alimamy explained to the children it’s important to learn about one another’s activities and the types of traditions they have. “When you learn from each other you learn to appreciate each other,” he said. Mayor Dave Ryan commended the organizers for hosting the event and told the children it’s a wonder- ful thing to learn about different religions and “how we can celebrate each other’s traditions without giving up our own.” Organizer Shiraz Nuraddin, who has three children at Altona Forest, hosted the same event last year to help all the children familiarize themselves with the holiday. “It’s not about teaching them to become a Muslim or something; it’s just to let them know about the holi- day,” she said. She wants the Muslim kids who celebrate Eid to feel comfortable and proud of their customs, and for the non-Muslims to be able to have some fun as well. “I think the real reason (we throw this party) is to let all the children feel included,” said Ms. Nuraddin. Mayor Ryan said hundreds of people attended the recent Eid ceremony at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex. SOLD HERE!

All content copyright WE THINK... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 25, 20106 AP RESPECT Talking at Remembrance ceremony not appreciated To the editor: I attended the Remembrance Day cere- monies again this year and I was very moved by the tremendous turnout. I couldn’t help noticing, however, that the ceremony was a lot longer this year because of all the dif- ferent companies laying wreaths and it just seemed like they were using Nov. 11 as an advertising opportunity. Worse than that, though, was the dis- respect shown by our local politicians who were front and centre waiting to place their own wreaths. Bonnie Littley whispered blatantly into the ear of first Doug Dicker- son, then Kevin Ashe and then our mayor. In fact, she never stopped talking during the entire ceremony. If you are going to attend these ceremo- nies, please be aware that many of us are there to honour not only our fallen heroes but our fathers, mothers, sisters and broth- ers who served our country and have since passed on. If you have the privilege of standing in front of everyone, please have respect for those behind you. And I did vote for you, Bonnie. Mary Stewart Pickering SEXUALITY PFLAG marks special day of remembrance To the editor: Of all the days recognized by the LGBT community, Nov. 20, The Transgender Day of Remembrance, is by far the most diffi- cult. It is an occasion where we memorialize friends and people we know only in news headlines –- all victims of transgender hatred and prejudice. “Transgender” refers to the state a per- son’s gender identity, or inner sense of self, as not matching their body type. We all have a natural need to express our gender in the same way we communicate other aspects of who we are. Being transgender is not in itself a mental disorder, but being unable to live in one’s appropriate gender role can often lead to severe mental health issues. According to a 2008 survey of Canadian students, 87 per cent of transgender youth feel unsafe at school and 40 per cent have been physical- ly harassed, (Egale). Schools recognizing this issue are reach- ing out in greater numbers to organiza- tions like PFLAG Canada. They are work- ing to inspire change. However, Canadian society must also grow in its understand- ing and acceptance. The Transgender Day of Remembrance reminds us that preju- dice still exists, but if we can face the worst possible outcome of intolerance with an open heart, maybe society can change. Cherie MacLeod Executive director, PFLAG Canada Moncton, N.B. SAFETY Skateboarders weren’t wearing helmets To the editor: I was dismayed by your double-page photo spread entitled ‘Durham stoked about skating’ in the Nov. 19 issue. Not one of the young people fea- tured in this skateboard- ing photo montage was wearing a pro- tective helmet. This is not the first time I’ve seen photos in my community newspaper of young people skateboarding without helmets. Yet, I seem to recall not long ago you pub- lished a story about a young man who had suffered an extremely serious brain injury due to falling and hitting his head while skateboarding ... naturally, without a hel- met. Please, don’t promote this kind of reck- lessness to our young people. By all means, publish photos featuring skateboarding, but show photos of those enjoying the sport responsibly. Helmets save lives, and that is the mes- sage my local communty newspaper should be promoting in its photos.

The minister was back in Durham Region this week to meet with local politicians, but indicated again that the proverbial cup- board is bare and the Province can’t afford to meet its earlier commitment to extend the highway to Hwy. 35/115 in Clarington. But given the billion dollars the Ontario government found last week to mute the chorus of complaints against rising electric- ity costs in the province, Ms. Wynne could forgive Durham Region residents and poli- ticians for raising their eyebrows at the sug- gestion there is no available funding for the government to meet its Hwy. 407 obliga- tions. In the simplest terms, the highway extension must be completed as planned. By ignoring the credible case being made by citizens’ groups and municipal govern- ments, the Province gives short-shrift to Durham Region taxpayers, not to mention the notion of fairness and living up to prom- ises. Oshawa taxpayers would be most affect- ed by the shortened terminus of the new highway at Simcoe Street. Pressure on local roads -- Winchester and Taunton roads, Simcoe Street and other north-south routes in close proximity to the exit ramp -- will likely require expansion and maintenance. That translates into millions of unnecessary tax dollars raised locally to compensate for the Province’s lack of foresight, and stub- born intransigence. Durham officials must continue to apply pressure on the Prov- ince, continue a dialogue with local grass- roots organizations and continue to make a strong case for completion of the highway to its original terminus in Clarington. For its part, the provincial government must meet its original obligation and build the highway as it was originally envisioned. It will fos- ter greater ease of movement for goods and people, provide needed jobs during con- struction and boost prosperity in communi- ties in close proximity to the highway. As noted earlier this year, a deal is a deal. The Ontario government must build the 407 from Brock Road in Pickering to Hwy. 35/115 in Clarington and live up to its com- mitment. To end it at Simcoe Street is to risk future phases being set aside in the interests of political expediency. It’s too important to the residents of Durham Region to let the government off the hook. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 25, 20107 AP PICKERING CO-ED CLUB 1792 Liverpool Road (beside Loblaws) 905-839-9635 NEW CO-ED CLUB goodlifefi tness.com/newclubs 12 Weeks FREE!

So the family contacted the News Advertiser to tell the story about the maple leaf that’s officially measured in at 13 and 5/8 inches across by 15 and 5/8 inches from tip to stem end. After other papers picked up the story, Guinness World Records got word of the find and contacted Joseph. Soon after, an excited Joseph sent a photo of the leaf with the tape measure to prove its giant size, Guinness opened a brand new category for his leaf. He was presented with the certificate when World Guinness Day was marked on Nov. 18. “It feels very exciting and I feel lucky,” he said. Plus, his friends who didn’t believe that he’d found the biggest maple leaf ever at first, had no choice when the world-record keepers made the announcement. “Now they’re like, ‘oh, cool’,” said Joseph. Since then, Joseph’s been on televi- sion and interviewed by a number of newspaper reporters, and his story even appeared in one of the United King- dom’s daily papers. “It’s a memory he’ll always have,” Ms. Donato said. Joseph’s proven calm under pressure and, according to his mom, handled the interviews with ease. “We had no idea the amount of atten- tion it would generate, but he was great,” she said. But that doesn’t mean he plans on a life in the limelight in the future. In fact, at the time of the News Advertiser inter- view, he was looking forward to taking a few days off. However, he still had his work cut out for him when the weekend was over. “I’m going to bring it to school on Monday and bring it around to each class,” he said. The leaf currently sits in a large frame, and just so no one can beat his record, Joseph plans to keep his eye open for an even bigger leaf. PICKERING from page 1 PICKERING -- A battle of the maple leaves is breaking out all over the country, and now even the Toronto Maple Leafs have unwittingly jumped into the fray, perhaps prematurely. Just last week. Joseph Donato of Pickering caught the eye of the Guinness World Records people by finding a maple leaf 33 cm wide by 38 cm long, including the stem. Guinness officials approached him after hear- ing rumours of his big leaf through a local newspa- per. On Guinness World Records Day, a well-publi- cized event on Nov. 18, they awarded him a Guin- ness World Record plaque. The Leafs, who haven’t won a Stanley Cup since 1967, got wind of this record achievement and contacted Joseph to invite him to a Leafs game, hoping his supersized maple leaf would bestow super powers upon the team. However, now there is a flurry of other record wannabes across the country, all claiming to have bigger maple leaves. Randy Steel and daughter, Eve, 10, of Vancou- ver, say they have a leaf that measures 44 cm by 34. On the weekend, another Ontario challenger, nine-year-old Nolan Toner, emerged, claiming his maple leaf is 43 cm wide by 38 long. Mr. Steel’s leaf is wider, but Nolan’s is longer and weighs more. Right now Joseph’s leaf has set the benchmark and he’ll be the world record holder for the foresee- able future, Guinness spokespeople say. Other claims have come in over the past few days. However, all have lost the advantage of timing following Joseph’s achievement. Spokespeople for Guinness World Records say they’re not rushing to verify any new claim because the onus is on the claimants to prove their leaves measure up. They welcome all claims. “Records are made to be broken after all, and we want to make sure we are chronicling them,” Jamie Panas, of Guinness World Records, said in an e-mail. Claims must be submitted online to www.worl- drecords.com/online, and a records management team will make an assessment within six weeks. A new system can fast-track claims within three days, but that costs £400 (about $650 Canadian). Another option is to have an adjudicator per- sonally come to judge your record, but the fee for that is £3,000 (about $5,000 Canadian). -- Torstar news services Challengers emerge for Pickering maple leaf record FOLLOW OUR TWITTER FEED AT NEWSDURHAM durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 25, 201010 AP Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented, evidence-based alternative to medication.

The same is true for your car, including antifreeze and snow tires. But how many of us are aware if the need to ‘shape up’— to ready our bodies and muscle for the winter season? Healthy feet and ankles must be ﬁ t and strong to act as accelerators, to steer, brake and absorb shock. Any weakness to these extremities can lead to injuries and even end any winter sporting season prematurely. Here are some ways to prepare yourself for the winter. Fitness A ﬁ tness program should begin right now to ready yourself for the ﬁ rst snowfall. For skiing, strong quads and abdominal muscles are most important. Knee bends, sit ups, crunches and skipping rope all help to strengthen your quads and abdominals. Racquet sports are equally beneﬁ cial in maintaining cardiovascular beneﬁ ts and reaction time. Greater ﬂ exibility allows for a wider range of motion and minimizes the chance of strains. Stretch antagonistic muscle groups to maintain a point of tightness, hold for 40 to 60 seconds and release. Repeat each stretch three times. Strength of muscles is also important but overdoing it can lead to muscle tears. Warm-ups are most important before beginning the activity, espe- cially for cold weather sports. Warm-up exercises help stretch muscles and allow for greater mobility. This minimizes the chance of injuries by allowing the muscles to be more responsive and act as better shock absorbers. Stream the part of the body used in the activity; for ex- ample, your legs in skiing or skating when warming up, but also your upper body with circular arm swings. A cool-down period after the activity is also important. A sauna or whirlpool followed by a cool shower will help. Stop the activity when you’re tired. Remember, more injuries occur on that last run of the day when fatigue hampers your reactive time and you are not paying atten- tion. Attire Winter sports require proper clothing. Upper body layering will keep you warmer and always wear a hat to prevent heat loss. Proper footwear includes insulated waterproof boots or shoes. Socks must re- main dry to prevent the occurrence of frostbite. Those suffering from pre-existing circulatory problems such as diabetes or Raynaud’s Dis- ease should consult their medical doctor. Ski boots and skates should ﬁ t properly for a safe and uneventful activity. If the boots and skates are too loose, toes quickly get irritated in the toe box. If they are too tight, pressure leads to blisters and abra- sions, causing painful feet, which may compromise control and circu- lation and lead to injuries or accidents. Do not put children in hand-me downs. Skates that are too small, too large or too wide may lack proper ankle support leading to strains, sprains or even fractures. Winter runners may unconsciously change their foot strike pattern, which can lead to overuse injuries. To increase traction on slipper surfaces, runners may land with the entire foot instead of the natural heel-toe strike. Lateral slippage may lead to groin pulls. Some runners are trying spikes that ﬁ t over their shoes when jogging on slippery surfaces. Some common winter problems to watch out for are: 1. Frostbite: Skin freezes when exposed to cold temperatures and high winds. With longer exposure, blood vessels constrict and skin colour changes from blue to white. A feeling of numbness or burn- ing may indicate frostbite. Wet feet are more prone to frostbite as are people with a previous history of frostbite. Prevention includes chang- ing wet clothing and avoiding the intake of alcoholic beverages. Shield yourself from high winds and keep moving. Treatment in- volves putting ﬁ ngers in your armpit or touching warm skin. Remove clothing from the affected area and avoid rubbing the skin. Immerse the affected area in warm water (40 degrees Celsius) for 20 to 30 min- utes until the affected area turns red. If blisters develop, add an antisep- tic such as Betadine to the skin. If no water is available, keep affected areas warm with blankets or in contact with another person’s skin. See your medical doctor as soon as possible. 2. Blisters: Friction from ill-ﬁ tting footgear can cause blisters. Do not pop a blister as it will be more easily infected. If it breaks on its own, disinfect it and cover it with a sterile bandage. 3. Hypothermia: This affects the entire body and involves a rapid loss of body heat. Initially shivering will generate more body heat. If shivering stops, a person is not nec- essarily warmed and this is some- times a warning sign. Continued exposure to cold temperatures can lead to hypothermia. This is a medi- cal emergency and professional care should be sought. 4. Strains and Sprains: These are common injuries, especially in skiing and skating. They should be treated with rest, ice compressions and elevation of the limb (RICE). Winter can be a fun season if proper care is taken. Attention to mus- cle ﬂ exibility, proper clothing and warm-up exercises will ensure a season of injury-free fun. Ronald Klein is a podiatrist and foot specialist who owns three foot clinics.

Richard Lindsay of Messier-Dowty was one of many local business people who recently attended Smart Shift: Moving Busi- nesses Toward a Sustainable Future, held at the Ajax Convention Centre. The workshop was hosted by The Region of Durham’s eco- nomic development and tourism depart- ment and Durham Sustain Ability. It offered businesses an opportunity to learn how to prepare for a market where profits, people and the environment are interlinked. DSA has a program to help businesses go green called EcoBusiness. The program is free to join and offers tools and support for every step of a business’s environmental journey. Those wishing to sign up just have to make four commitments: a senior man- agement commitment; the appointment of a staff coordinator; adopting action plans; and an providing an annual status report. The program includes an eco checklist, which consists of easy, cost-effective chang- es that businesses can implement to make their operations greener in areas such as transportation, and waste reduction and energy conservation. “We were one of the first businesses to complete the checklist about a year and a half ago,” said Mr. Lind- say in an interview. Messier-Dowty went a step further this year. “We have put in an organics project this year, and we’ve reduced waste to land- fill by 30 to 35 per cent,” he said. Shawn Williamson of the Baleen Group, an eco business member, sits on DSA’s board of directors. He encouraged businesses to get involved in DSA’s program. “There is something there for everyone,” he said to the crowd. He said around 130 businesses not only from Durham Region, but from other coun- tries, have jumped on board and said any type of step, even a small one, is a step in the right direction. Benefits of becoming an EcoBusiness member include networking opportunities, enhancing reputation and reducing energy and operating costs. Even though there are some initial costs to make the “smart shift,” it’s worth it in the end and “the right thing” to do,” Mr. Lindsay said. He feels more and more businesses will eventually catch onto the trend.

Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 25, 201014 AP UOIT SOCCER Charity begins with trip from home Pickering’s Justin Gordon, Oshawa’s Paul Craven lend a hand in Jamaica SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- For Paul Craven and Justin Gordon, it was an experience unlike any other. Earlier this month, the two Dur- ham residents and members of the men’s soccer team at UOIT trav- elled to Kingston, Jamaica along- side members of For Kicks, the Toronto Police Force, the CSJP Goals for Life program and a Dar- lington girls’ U16 soccer team, to run clinics for underprivileged youth. Coming from these parts, Craven and Gordon said the time spent in the crime-ridden capital of the island was a real eye-opener. “The experience, to me, was life- changing. I’ve never done char- ity work in that fashion before and to actually get to do that in anoth- er country, see something that is different than how kids interact in Canada, it was something spe- cial,” said Gordon, an 18-year-old Pickering resident. “The kids down there, they treated us with so much respect and they were so welcom- ing towards us. “I think we’d find something dif- ferent if we did that in Canada.” Though aware of many of the dif- ficulties the youth of Kingston face, Craven said the stories only tell part of the tale. Meeting the many kids they worked with, seeing the conditions they live and play soccer in, and gaining a real appreciation for their mindset told more than any story could. “They have issues getting soccer cleats and we have issues picking a university and university isn’t even an option there,” said the Oshawa resident. “I was just amazed that they appreciated everything they had. If they had a pair of soccer cleats, it was like their life. They cherished them, whereas here, you get a new pair every year and for most, it’s really no big deal. “We were traveling the highways and you can see houses made out of cardboard boxes and stuff. It was just unbelievable. There were open sewers. Then you go to the soccer fields and it’s hard to believe.” What perhaps hit home the most for both Gordon, whose family is originally from Jamaica, and Cra- ven, was the mindset of many youth. “One of the things that amazed me is that kids that are involved in gangs and stuff, they don’t expect to live past 25,” said Craven, who is 21. “That’s what they expect, which is very different than here where you expect to live into your eight- ies.” While learning of those realities was tough, the UOIT duo came away from the experience feeling quite positive. Gordon spoke of the Jamaicans’ passion to play soccer, despite the fact their pitches were more dirt than grass. Case in point was the excitement the youth showed when the two ran a little makeshift tournament for them. “Paul and I had the privilege to ref the games and to see the pas- sion and with how much intensity they were playing. (We) and all the spectators were just in awe,” Gor- don stated. “They love the game so profusely. I don’t think I’ve seen that anywhere else that I’ve played soccer before.” And both agreed that one thing they took away from the experi- ence, aside from the desire to do it again, was a feeling of appreciation for the opportunities available to youth here at home. “You get a different perspective, not only of soccer, but the world,” Craven said. “Soccer is their life, here it’s just kind of something you do. You really learn to appreciate the opportunities we get here. They don’t have them.” MLS team seeks new bench boss BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The Ajax-Pickering Rock is in the market for a new head coach. Jim Veltman, who guided the team through its inaugural sea- son in the Major Series Lacrosse league, has resigned to spend more time with his family, and coach his son and daughter, said GM Paul St. John in an e-mail. “As disappointed as I am to lose Jim as our head coach, especially after a real good expansion year into the Major Series Lacrosse league, I fully understand Jim’s reason to walk away now while his children are young,” wrote St. John. “Jim has always thought things through before making decisions and I know from talking to him this is one of the biggest decisions he’s had to make and we both feel comfortable it is the right deci- sion at this time in his life.” The Rock finished with a 3-13-0 record in its first year in the league after moving up from the Sr. B ranks. The season was highlight- ed with a 14-13 win over Bramp- ton, but ended with a four-game playoff sweep at the hands of Six Nations. Veltman was a coach with the Rock for three seasons, the past two as head coach. He also played for the Rock for four seasons in the summer, spending his winter captaining the Toronto Rock of the NLL. St. John had nothing but the highest praise for Veltman. “Jim spent endless amounts of time these past three years in his coaching role, the last two spent as head coach. He especially worked hard this past summer on and off the floor, ran great practices, was very well prepared for games, film sessions, meetings, charts, you name it, Jim brought it,” notes St. John. “His calm demeanor during games was well respected by the referees and especially our play- ers. He will be missed as the team looked up to him and we were able to stay close in most games we played because of all his hard work and preparation.” The search for a replacement is underway as the Rock begins a search for a qualified coach with experience at the junior, major or NLL level, says St. John of the criteria it will take to land the job.

UOIT HOCKEY Pickering duo contributes to Ridgebacks win OSHAWA -- Three-point nights from Josh Vatri and Kyle Wetering were key as the UOIT Ridgebacks ended a four-game los- ing streak with a win over the Concordia Stingers. Both Vatri and Wetering, of Pickering, posted a goal and two helpers in a 6-4 vic- tory Saturday night, helping the Ridge- backs to their first win since Nov. 3 against Brock. Vatri netted the game-winner at 9:23 of the second period, his fifth of the year. He now has nine points in his last seven games. Others to get in on the point parade were Brendan Wise and Pickering’s Jere- my Whelan, each with a goal and an assist, while Mike Noyes recorded two assists. Luke VanMoerKerke and Nathan Spaling also had a goal each. A night earlier, former Oshawa Gener- als captain Jeff Hayes scored his seventh goal of the year to help the Carleton Ravens knock off the Ridgebacks 5-3. UOIT, at 5-7-2, remains two points ahead of York for the final playoff position in the OUA’s Western Conference. The Ridgebacks’ next game is Friday at Ottawa, while they don’t play another home game until Jan. 7 against Guelph. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 25, 201016 AP ONTARIO JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE Same old song and dance for Pickering Panthers Solid effort not enough Tuesday night in Peterborough SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com PETERBOROUGH -- The sec- ond half of the season started the same way as the first half for the Pickering Panthers. With a loss. And with just six wins in their first 26 games, the hope for coach John Goodwin and his club is that over the final 24 games of the Ontario Junior Hockey League campaign, a few more wins -- like last Friday’s game against Cobourg -- will be sprinkled in more frequently with the losses. Their most recent setback came Tuesday in Peterborough, 4-2 at the hands of the Stars. For the Panthers, it was a story all too familiar. They club worked its tail off at both ends of the ice, staying in the game against a more talented club before a pair of third-period breakdowns led to the team’s effort going for naught. “Every mistake we make right now, comes back on us. We’re scoring just over two goals a game (2.38), the lowest-scoring team in the league,” Goodwin said after the game. “It’s tough to win games 2-1. It puts a lot pressure on the goalie, the defence. You don’t see a lot of 2-1 scores in this league and that’s about the only way we’ll win games.” But despite an anemic 6-19-1 record that has the Panthers wal- lowing in last place in a tough East Division, Goodwin continues to be encouraged by his club, and specifically their desire to put an all-out effort in on most nights. It’s not an element generally found in the pedigree of last-place clubs. “You see the effort they give. They do everything we ask. We just aren’t scoring goals. If we were a team that didn’t believe in what we were doing, we’d proba- bly give up 60 shots and lose 10-1 every night,” Goodwin said. “Peo- ple around the league are notic- ing what we’re doing and there is a lot of respect for the way we play our game. We’re not getting a lot of results in the win column right now, but it’s small steps.” There are times, though, Good- win admitted, that those encour- aging thoughts transform into worries. While the coaching staff can continue to be pleased with the effort and the development in the smaller facets of the game, the bottom line remains that the players need results in the form of wins. Without the wins, that message he continues to relay to the club about sticking it out and battling hard could begin to ring hollow. “You worry as a coach that you might lose the room, but we have a good bunch of kids here,” he said. “They are all very good kids and they work hard. We go to practice every day and they don’t take a day off. They work hard. If we had lost them, we would have lost that. “It’s always a concern though. You say the same things over and over. We are working hard, but not getting the results. It’s tough,” Goodwin added. Pickering’s next game is Friday at home to the Whitby Fury at 7:30 p.m. Notes Tyler vonEngelbrechten and Tyler Prendergast scored the Pickering goals Tuesday, while Adam Stein made 28 saves on 31 shots in goal ... There was a roughly 10-minute delay in the second period after a hit behind the Peterborugh goal dislodged the parti- tion that holds the glass together ... Fol- lowing Friday’s game against Whitby, the Panthers hit the road for a pair, the first being Sunday in Wellington and the second Monday at Vaughan.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Pine Ridge, Pickering fall short in playoff quest Pumas bow out in Tier II junior final, Trojans in Tier I junior regional quarterfinal BOWMANVILLE -- After going undefeated during the season, the Pine Ridge Pumas came up just one win short, losing the LOSSA Tier II junior championship to Eastdale. Meanwhile, in Tier I junior play, Pickering bowed out in the Ontario regional quarterfinals. The Eastdale Eagles captured the Tier Two junior title as they downed the previously undefeated Pine Ridge Pumas 27-6 to earn their first junior title since 2003. The game plan for the Eagles was ‘stop Meschach Green’, who earlier this year tallied all 25 scoring points for Pine Ridge in a season opening win over Eastdale. Keying on Green, the Eagles came within 11 seconds of shutting out the Pumas. Eastdale opened the scoring with 11:26 remaining in the opening quarter as Riley Palmer scampered 68 yards for a touchdown. A sec- ond quarter safety credited to Drew Moore extended the lead to eight. With 24 seconds until the half, quar- terback Drew Pottle delivered a 24-yard pass and run to Palmer to give the Eagles a 14-point half-time advantage. Pottle then connected with Matt Cox on a 46-yard passing play mid- way through the third quarter to up the margin to 20. In the final quarter, Konaar Bell would record the fourth Eastdale touchdown as he carried the ball 27 yards to the house. Ben Donnelly rounded out the Eagle scoring with the point after. Green was finally able to break through the stubborn Eagle defence in the final minute as he unleashed a 65-yard touchdown run to put the Pumas on the board. Game MVP’s were: Offensive players of the game: Eastdale, Konaar Bell; Pine Ridge, Chris Hawke Defensive players of the game: Eastdale, Drew Pottle; Pine Ridge, Imrad Mourad Meschach Green was presented with the league MVP award. The football season for the junior Pickering Trojans has come to an end as they were eliminated from the Ontario regional junior football championship by the host team, St. Michaels College 18-14. The Trojans found the final three minutes of the first half to be their undoing, as they saw a 6-1 lead evaporate as the Kerry Blues would tally two touchdowns, the first a four-yard run by Loughlin Kelly, the second a 17-yard pass reception by Lennox Adinkrah, which vaulted the hosts in front 15-6 at the half. Playing three-down football in the second half (the first half was four- down football, which LOSSA plays), the Trojans were able to reduce the deficit to 18-12 with just over six minutes remaining as Jesse St. John connected with Jackson Lyder on a 51-yard pass-and-run play. A fumble on the ensuing kickoff gave the Trojans the great field position. However, the Kerry Blue defence rose to the occasion and repelled the Trojan attack as Pickering was unable to generate any more offen- sive points. Hayden Murphy was credited with a safety when St. Michaels did take a knee in the end zone on a third-down play with 2:39 remaining. Matthew Boateng scored Picker- ing’s first touchdown on a 38-yard run in the opening quarter. Anthony Iafrate with a single on a missed field goal, two converts and a 35-yard third-quarter field goal accounted for six kicking points for the hosts.

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.
