After being ordained in 2010, Mr. Cuthbert, who suffers from cerebral palsy, found it more and more difficult to continue his work of vis- iting those in the homeless communities of Toronto and Durham without a wheelchair- accessible vehicle. When the community heard of his plight, several residents and businesses came for- ward to help him obtain a wheelchair-accessi- ble minivan, which has allowed him to contin- ue his practice of bringing his ministry to the streets, providing food and other supplies to those in need whenever he can.

Members of the Pickering nuclear plant’s communi- ty advisory council got some answers at their September meeting. Terry Doran, vice-president of the nuclear waste man- agement division for Ontario Power Generation, explained there are three types of waste. Low-level waste could include paper or clothing contam- inated with radiation that is handled with minimum pro- tection, such as wearing gloves. “It’s generally waste that could be easily handled,” said Mr. Doran. Intermediate-level waste includes things such as filters and resins used in the operation of the plant and would have to be handled with more protection. The highest level is the spent fuel bundles from the reac- tor. As it stands, low- and intermediate-level wastes are shipped to a storage facility near Kincardine at the Bruce Nuclear site. There, the material is stored at an interim facility with the low-level waste stored in a warehouse and the intermediate-level waste stored in in-ground contain- ers at the site. The latter level of waste requires radiation shielding during transportation, handling and storage. Though there have been four fender-bender accidents since 2000, Mr. Doran explained that in 17 years of trans- porting the low- and intermediate-level waste there has never been an injury as a result of an accident involving OPG trucks and no material has ever been released into the environment. The OPG trucks log about 50,000 kilome- tres a year. As a long-term storage solution for the low-level and intermediate waste, OPG has proposed a deep geological repository in Kincardine on the Bruce Nuclear site along the shoreline of Lake Huron. The area is geologically stable with rock formations that date back 450 million years. Mr. Doran explained the proposed storage area would be 680 metres underground. By comparison, the CN Tower is 550 metres tall. The facility would be 30 hectares above ground, including a waste rock pile and storm water man- agement ponds, and 40 hectares underground. “Basically the DGR is a small surface footprint with a large footprint underground,” said Mr. Doran. As it stands, the process to build the DGR has been ongo- ing since 2004 when the hosting agreement was signed with Kincardine. The earliest construction could start is 2013. DGRs already exist in Sweden, Finland and the United States. “Deep geological repositories are used internationally, and have been for a number of years,” said Mr. Doran. For the most hazardous form of nuclear waste, spent nuclear fuel, the federal government has created the Nuclear Waste Management Organization to deal with the issue. NWMO operates like a non-profit organization and is funded by nuclear waste owners in Canada, including OPG. Peter Simmons, director of municipal and community engagement for NWMO, said the organization is currently engaged in a site selection process for its own DGR. To be considered as a host for the facility, a community must volunteer. “We don’t go looking for anyone. It’s really up to them to say we’re interested in being a potential host,” said Mr. Simmons. As it stands, eight communities are interested in learning more. In Saskatchewan, they are English River First Nation, Pinehouse and Creighton. In Ontario, Ear Falls, Ignace, Schreiber, Hornepayne and Wawa have expressed interest. Some of the communities have experience with hydro power generation or uranium mining and many are hop- ing for economic development. “Some of the communities are talking to us because the economic opportunities inside those communities are next to nil,” said Mr. Simmons, who added that NWMO will do lengthy consultations with the communities so they con- sider all factors, not just the economic benefits. The toxicity of nuclear fuel reduces with time, but it remains a potential hazard indefinitely. The half-life of uranium is hundreds of millions of years so the fuel will remain for the foreseeable future. FAST FACTS Canada’s spent fuel nuclear waste - 2 million bundles safely stored currently - 4 million bundles projected by 2035 from existing nuclear facilities - 90 per cent currently stored in Ontario and five per cent each in Quebec and New Brunswick - Currently stored at nuclear plants in temporary storage - Nuclear Waste Management Ontario working on creating a deep geological reserve for more permanent storage - The toxicity of nuclear fuel reduces over time, but it will take millions of years Plans to store Pickering and Darlington nuclear waste underground METROLAND FILE PHOTO PICKERING -- OPG’s Pickering Nuclear Generation Station.

The organization got its start in 2004 after Sue Pitchforth and Debbie Williams attended a series of women's lunches in To ronto.They felt that Durham Region had more than enough business professionals to support hosting local luncheons. To gether, the approached CIBC and BMO, who loved the idea and agreed to support them in this endeavour. The first lunch was held at RoyalAshburn. "We thought that if we got 50 people to come out, the event would be a success," says Sue. "We had 130 people come out!" Even though the initial idea was just to host the one luncheon, participants loved it and started asking when the next lunch was going to be. Let's Do Lunch was born! After the third successful lunch, Sue andDebbiedecidedtoaddacharitablecomponent to the luncheons. Over the years, the organization has helped raise funds for a variety of charities, from small to large, including the Children's Wi sh Foundation and Sick Kids Hospital. All of the luncheons now offer fundraising opportunities for charities that participate, including silent auctions. "It's touched us in a way we never thought possible," says Sue. "We never thought we would be able to pay it forward so much with our luncheons." Each luncheon is an opportunity for business owners and professionals to network, connect and learn about each other, both personally and professionally. Inspiring speakers offer great tips and advice from their area of expertise. While the format of the luncheon is consistent, the theme changes with each charity. Some luncheons have entertainment such as belly dancers and once the guests were served lunch by firefighters! Luncheons are open to both members and non-members of Let's Do Lunch.

Let's Do Lunch Let's Do LunchCelebrates 7th Annivers aryCelebrates 7th Annivers ary St. Paul’s-on-the-Hill Community Food Bank hosts annual food drive Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion. PICKERING -- The need for support is obvi- ous on an early Friday morning in Pickering as clients line up out the door of the St. Paul’s- on-the-Hill Community Food Bank. On Oct. 7 the food bank was handing out turkey dinners on behalf of Al Dente Restau- rant and Walker Head Lawyers, but direc- tor Rae Coulter said the line-up is a normal occurrence. “It’s always so busy, we always have lines,” she explains of the community-run food bank, which operates 100 per cent on dona- tions and volunteer hours. The Food Bank is an outreach program of St. Paul’s . “We were just supposed to be here a short time, just to get over the hump,” Ms. Coulter said of the food bank, which has now been operating almost 20 years and serves Ajax and Pickering residents. “But the need never went away, we had a big increase in numbers last year. And now we’re getting to that point where the food starts dwindling down, summer is always a slow time for us. We rely on the Thanksgiving food drive to get us into next year.” The food bank is particularly in need of sta- ples such as sugar, tea, coffee, cereal, juice boxes and snacks for school. Also, monetary donations, in the form of cash or gift cards, are always appreciated and go towards pay- ing overhead such as rent and purchasing food. “We buy things like milk and eggs, which a lot of food banks don’t do,” Ms. Coulter said, showing off a new industrial fridge that was purchased with donations from a charity golf tournament and now holds dairy products for distribution to clients. “These food drives are really important,” she said, pointing to the bustling group of vol- unteers unloading food, packing boxes, bag- ging dinners and running food out to clients. “You see them all happy and smiling over there now, but it really upsets them when there’s nothing on the shelves. A lot of times when we’re running short on something, the volunteers will bring it in themselves.” Food and monetary donations can be dropped off at grocery stores throughout Pickering as well as local fire halls. Ms. Coulter stresses that every donation, no matter how small, is appreciated. “We want to thank everyone, we have such a generous community,” she said. “They just give all the time, we are a very for- tunate area. And our clients really do appreci- ate it. It’s not an easy thing to come to a food bank but they know no one is criticizing them here.” CoMMUniTy Pickering food drive to help families in need Ryan PFEiFFER / METRolanD PICKERING -- Shirley Pierce sorted canned goods for the Thanksgiving Food Drive at St. Paul’s-on-the-Hill Community Food Bank Oct. 7. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 12, 20114 AP 1-866-550-5462 Call 905-426-BRUSH 161 Harwood Ave. N.

On Wednesday, Oct. 12 the temple will host a celebration featuring performances from the temple’s youth, refreshments and a trade show. The temple’s new 10-kilowatt PV solar panel will also be on display. The installation was built on the temple’s roof thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and will be plugged into the grid on Wednesday. “This is a big thing for our faith communi- ty,” said Cecil Ramnauth, secretary for Devi Mandir. “Our scripture teaches us to be mindful of the earth and to offer worship to Moth- er Earth. We feel like a lot is happening in terms of pollution and we feel we have the power to do something about it by mobiliz- ing our youth and educating our congrega- tion. In our community, because we have the numbers, we believe we can make a dif- ference.” In order to further the education compo- nent of the temple’s green initiatives the event will also feature a trade show with green-energy products such as solar pan- els, green lighting and other green prod- ucts. “We are really excited about this,” Mr. Ramnauth said of the event. “This is part of our culture and our beliefs.” On Oct. 12 from 6 to 10 p.m. the public is invited to come to the temple for a tour of the solar installation as well as music, refreshments and dance performances. In addition, a green-focused information net- working trade show will be held at the tem- ple throughout the evening.

As a taxpayer, I do not support any of our tax dollars being spent on such a fence. If your dog is a “car chaser” then your dog should not be at the Westney Road leash- free park. I am assuming this is not a problem at the Greenwood Conservation Area, so if dog owners are worried about the road, then they should just use Greenwood. I am sure there are better uses for our tax dollars. Donna Danks Ajax HealtH care Lamenting loss of Baby Depot To the editor: Re: ‘Whitby pediatrician shuts down breastfeeding clinic after complaint’, news, durhamregion.com, Oct. 1, 2011. My wife and I have been members of the Mom and Baby Depot since our daughter was born in 2007. We have since had a son (10 weeks premature) born in 2009. The reason we had decided to become members and ‘pay’ for better health care than was being provided from our family doctor, or any family doctor available to us, was because we wanted the best for our children. This has paid for itself over the years, as we have had caring, in-depth childcare advice, and services not provided by our, or any, family doctor. When you have an appointment with the Depot you show up a few minutes before and there is no wait, no room full of people waiting for their 15 minutes with a doctor who is overworked and doesn’t know your child from the next. You get proper, patient-specific advice that is informative and directed, which is the best way to address the child’s con- cerns. We chose to do this because it was avail- able. We were extremely happy with our choice, but now the College of Physicians has shut down Dr. Dockrill’s services to which we had become accustomed. Since her clinic has been shut down, we have taken our son to the emergency ward on two separate occasions. Once to Lak- eridge and once (in ambulance because of a seizure) to Ajax. On both occasions we ended up walking out of the hospital after numerous hours in the waiting room with our son. The most recent time was this past sum- mer, at Ajax hospital, where, after being taken by ambulance to the emergency, we waited over three hours with our son, after the twisted ankles and sore knees went before us. This is why we paid for our children’s health care; we were happy and the ser- vices provided were not offered anywhere else. It is a shame that the clinic had to shut its doors, and the well being of so many chil- dren in Durham is poorer because of it. Joe, Kim, Emily and Brandon McCormack, Whitby Feedback Downtown carnival must return to Whitby To the editor: Re: Letters calling for the return of the County Town Carnival to Whitby’s down- town. I agree with other readers; please bring back the County Town Carnival with the Friday night Mardi Gras parade with floats and the throwing of beads. It was exciting for all -- young and old. The Heritage Day downtown was great with the food festivals and vendors, the music and all. I know the planning and work involved takes a great number of volunteers to make these events happen. Most towns and cit- ies have events so Whitby needs its own special event. Mary Prettie Elliott Whitby A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

And while it’s true that Premier McGuinty is just one seat shy of the coveted majority he sought, miserable voter turnout com- bined with a substantial reduction in seats for the Liberals creates a picture much less certain than the one painted by the Premier the day after last week’s provincial election. In fact, Liberal-held seats were reduced to 53 from 70 at dissolution, while Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives picked up 12, to 37 from 25 on election night, and Andrea Horwath’s NDP party gained seven, to 17 from 10. Premier McGuinty might want to tone down the talk of a ‘strong mandate’ hand- ed to the Liberals by Ontario and Durham Region voters and instead start focusing on ways and means to make this minority gov- ernment one that works for Ontarians and with the opposition parties. It’s true that the Liberals and NDP may find common ground on some files and will engage in some horse trading as a consequence. But the Conservative gains and sensible mes- sage of fiscal responsibility and reduced taxation cannot be dismissed out of hand. To that end, we encourage the Liberals to explore with the Conservatives measures that a great many Ontarians voted for on Oct. 6. In Durham Region, for instance, in tra- ditionally held PC ridings, candidates this time around generally saw their vote totals increase, even as overall voter turnout across the province was reduced to a dis- mal 49.2 per cent. Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott and Durham Riding’s John O’Toole both saw their share of the vote increase. Smaller increases were seen in other Durham ridings, but were still up, even when the candidate placed second. If Premier McGuinty is looking to such numbers for guidance going forward, sure- ly he’ll have to contend with them all and take the lead and make decisions accord- ingly. Time will tell if this is a minority govern- ment that manages to get things done and avoid the sort of gridlock that occurred in Ottawa in recent years with Stephen Harp- er’s Conservatives. The Premier must be held to account for the success or failure of this government, but a sombre responsibil- ity falls to the other leaders, Mr. Hudak and Ms. Horwath, to lead their membership in the provincial legislature with a view to what’s best for Ontarians and not partisan gain. Thanksgiving snuck up on me again this year. It always does. Part of it has to do with the fact that Thanksgiving seems to be either wanted by the law or in the Witness Protection program. The date maddeningly shifts around every year and nobody ever seems to know exactly where it’s located. The other problem is that both of my son’s birthdays bracket either side of the Thanksgiving holiday and so my mind, ordinarily preoccupied enough with efflu- via like where babies come from and why do I have nipples, is now crammed to the point of being overwhelmed with gift ideas, dates of birth and party schedules. Needless to say, Thanksgiving, if we’re not careful, can end up getting crammed in as a bit of an afterthought. And that’s unfortunate because I think it’s a very important occasion. Just as important as Christmas, Hanukkah or Easter and miles ahead of Labour Day. For what could possibly be more vital to our well-being than taking a little time to count our blessings and put ourselves in a state of genuine appreciation for all that we have? A day or two to hit the reset on our ‘per- spective’ buttons. Let’s face it, most of us spend far more time bemoaning the state of our lives and the world in general than in delighting in what is wonderful about our existence. For some goofy reason we seem to be hard- wired to bitch. Just try going through a day not saying anything negative or joining in on a belly- ache session. People will think you’ve joined a cult or taken a vow of silence. It would be funny except that this stuff is noxious. It’s like putting bad gas into a Ferrari engine. Garbage in, garbage out. Over a pro- longed period things can really get gummed up to the point where you for- get what ‘high performance’ used to feel like. You’re walking through paradise but you’re staring at your shoes. So a weekend to give thanks...to re-align and remember...to lift our gaze off of the dog turds in our life and put it back, if even for a little while, on that which is exqui- site, is a very good idea. A B-12 shot for the soul. God knows I could use it. No doubt like many of you, I have sadness and worry and stress in my life. And there are days and situations where I wonder how things got so impossibly far off the rails. And how, in God’s name, can it all be made right again? My eyes firmly planted on my shoes again. Time with family and friends. Breaking bread with those you love and whose love you cherish. Talking, laughing, looking around the table and smiling at your good fortune is the best remedy I can think of for days such as those. Indeed it is the only reme- dy. And the only way to ensure we will have more to be grateful for in the future, is to be aware of what treasure we currently possess. Wouldn’t it be nice if every weekend were, in its way, a Thanksgiving weekend? -- Durham Region resident Neil Crone, actor, writer, comedian, saves some of his best lines for this column durhamregion.com7 AP News Advertiser • October 12, 2011HOT TOPICS: ‘... the political divide between west Durham and the rest remains with Ajax and Pickering going Liberal and the rest going Progressive Conservative.’ Join the conversation on Facebook with reporter Reka Szekely ONLINE POLL RESULTS Halloween costume trends 1.

Change the light- ing and you change the mood. I have always appreciated the subtle effects of available light in darker situations. The tech- nology of cameras are becom- ing more capable of shooting in dark situations without suffer- ing from graininess. In this pho- tograph, I took a frame of a col- league while we were on assign- ment, shooting a rowing club during the pre-dawn hours. Her face is illuminated by the LCD of her camera which was captured subtly. The left hand side of the frame was not altered. This is how the camera saw the scene. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Coyote sightings provoke fear To the editor: I was stopped by a motorist while walking my small dog in the spring. He rather excitedly told me he had just seen a litter of coyote cubs in the Gibb/ Burns street vicinity. Fearing the parents of the cubs could be nearby, the man told me to watch my dog. The rest of our walk was apprehensive to say the least being of small stature myself and having seen a large animal one eve- ning last winter that caused me to lift my dog and run. The very next week, a woman on Lim- erick Street reported seeing another lit- ter of cubs in the nearby forest area of her home. Since then I’ve heard of more sightings of coyote cubs and adults from people on my route. One woman apparently had her dog snatched and carried off while walking it. Neighbours with small children and pets have been shocked to find coyotes in their fenced backyards and are afraid to let their children out on their own property. My husband saw a young coyote one night last week; our neighbour saw one last night in front of his house. Pets have disappeared, entrails of small animals are seen strewn in parks and trails, people have seen coyotes wander- ing down the sidewalk. It seems the coyote population is growing and getting a little too close for comfort for the residents of this neighbourhood. Calls to local wildlife authorities have informed residents that the area is the nat- ural habitat of these animals and there is nothing they can do. When I called after having now seen three large ones on sev- eral occasions, I was told to wear a whistle. I was told coyotes don’t generally attack people, though I think any animal that is hungry enough could -- and would. This may have been their natural habitat at one time but now it is a residential neigh- bourhood of taxpaying citizens becoming increasingly anxious. These animals need to be rounded up and relocated to less populated areas. Heaven forbid, it won’t have to take a trag- edy for the authorities to take action.

PICKERING (905) 686-2121 THE SHOPS at PICKERING RIDGE - 1755 PICKERING PARKWAY (BROCK ROAD & HWY 401) 1388860 “It’s devastating what’s out there, there’s a big need and things are changing dras- tically,” Mr. Cuthbert said of the amount of poverty he sees through his work with the non-denominational Holy Spirit Ministries Food Basket. “I want people to know that people do listen, they do help, just like they helped me with the van.” Mr. Cuthbert founded the Food Basket in 2008 to help people who “fall through the cracks”. “So many people don’t want to go through agencies,” he explained. “The thing is the agencies that are cur- rently in place are overloaded and often one agency may not know what anoth- er agency is doing and so people fall through the cracks. There are a lot of cracks that are not being filled, so that’s where I come in, to fill in the gaps.” Mr. Cuthbert collects donations of food and good used clothing, which he then hands out to people in need, either to those he meets doing work at street level or through referrals from local churches and organizations. “This is not just about food,” he explained of his work. “I also make myself available if people just want to talk, whatever they need. In my calling I’ve discovered that if peo- ple are hungry they’re not very tenta- tive, they’ll be much more willing to seek help.” Mr. Cuthbert is currently partnering with the Montessori Learning Centre of Pickering on a Thanksgiving Food Drive. Items can be dropped off at the school, 401 Kingston Rd., in Pickering, through Thursday, Oct. 6. Needed items include canned meats, canned fruits and vegetables, peanut butter, canned and boxed meals, canned or dried beans, pasta, rice and cereal. Mr. Cuthbert is also hoping to start a new tradition this year with a communi- ty Christmas dinner, which is still in the planning stages. Although he is currently running the Holy Spirit Ministries Food Basket out of his Whites Road home, Mr. Cuthbert said he hopes to find a dedicated facility for the charity this year, as well as complet- ing the organization’s transition to a reg- istered charitable organization, which would allow him to give tax receipts. “A lot of people don’t want to talk about it, they don’t want to know what’s going on right in their own communi- ties,” Mr. Cuthbert said, citing a recent study by the Community Development Council Durham that found as many as one in six Durham residents are living in poverty. “There is a need for this. People need to realize what is happening and know that we can make a difference.” For more information on Holy Spirit Ministries’ Food Basket: CALL 905-839-9031 (Pastor Garry Cuthbert) EmAiL gcuthbert@rogers.com PiCKERiNG from page 1 In my calling I’ve discovered that if people are hungry they’re not very tentative, they’ll be much more willing to seek help.

The victim and an employee chased the suspects on foot and directed police to the area in which they fled, said Inspector Steve Ross. “The officers were able to set up a perimeter,” he said. The canine unit was called in and an officer found a sweaty, out-of-breath teenager hiding nearby, said the inspector. The boy, 17, of Toronto, was arrested for robbery and cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The police were unable to retrieve the jewelry, and the victim suffered minor injuries to his neck. Police are looking for another black male suspect.

The Strikers entered the final as the top seed in their pool after going 3-0-1, edging SWU Pre- miers of Alberta on goal differ- ential after the teams finished in a tie for first place. The Strikers were way ahead in the tie break- er, scoring 20 goals and allowing just one in pool play. St. Hubert were tops in their pool with a 2-0-2 record. The tournament opened Wednesday with a 7-1 win over Mount Pearl, NL, as Peter Boylan scored twice for the Strikers. The following day the Strikers battled to a scoreless draw with the SWU Premiers, but bounced back with a resounding 9-0 win over Saskatchewan Unidad on the strength of four goals by Jordan Dover on Friday. They closed out the round robin on Sunday by blanking Nova Scotia 4-0. Hockey Jenn Wakefield selected to represent Canada Pickering resident off to Sweden for 4 Nations cup PICKERING -- Jenn Wakefield will be wearing Canada’s colours at this year’s 4 Nations Cup from Nov. 9-14 in Sweden. Wakefield, of Pickering, was one of 23 players selected to the roster for a Canadian team that will be looking to defend its gold medal performance of a year ago. The 2011 4 Nations Cup will bring together the top four wom- en’s hockey countries in the world -- Canada, Finland, Swe- den and the United States –- for the 16th annual international tournament. Canada has won the gold medal at the 3 Nations Cup/4 Nations Cup a total of 12 times, including last Novem- ber at the 2010 4 Nations Cup in St. John’s and Clarenville, New- foundland, and has claimed sil- ver three times. Wakefield, a senior scholar- ship athlete at Boston Universi- ty, is coming off a stellar junior season. The Dunbarton gradu- ate led her team to the champi- onship game of the Frozen Four tournament last season, and was nominated for the Patty Kazmai- er Award, presented to the top women’s player in NCAA hockey. She led the team in scoring with 32-22-54 point totals in 34 games. Her goals (32) and points (54) set school records. In this, her final season of eligi- bility, she has been named cap- tain. She has picked up where she left off, honored by Hockey East after being named Player of the Week. Wakefield notched two goals and added an assist to help lead Bos- ton University to a 4-1 win over North Dakota. Her second-peri- od assist was the 150th point of her career. Both her goals came on special teams, as she tallied a power-play goal in the second period before she potted a short- handed goal in the third period. The Terriers are ranked fourth in the country. roN PietroNiro / MetrolaNd Up for grabs AJAX -- Notre Dame Cougars’ Malik Williams tried to haul in an interception as he leapt in front of J.Clarke Richardson Storm’s Leigh Philip during Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior boys’ football action on Thursday.

OntariO HOckey League Generals avoid sinking into cellar Pickering’s andy andreoff in attendance at game Brian Mcnair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Generals were 40 seconds away Monday from having an unthinkably bad start to the Ontario Hockey League season. The fact that they avoided sinking into the East Divi- sion basement by pulling out a 4-3 overtime win over the Kingston Frontenacs may well be the turning point they were looking for in what is still a season that has fallen well short of expectations so far. Nicklas Jensen tied the game with a power-play goal in the final minute of regu- lation and J.P. Labardo was credited with the winner, his second of the game, in the first minute of overtime, as the Generals earned their first home win of the season before a small Thanksgiv- ing Day crowd of 3,043 at the GM Centre. Labardo was in front of Kingston goalie Igor Bobk- ov when Colin Suellentrop’s point shot bounced around and found the back of the net for the winner 48 sec- onds into OT. It was credited to Labar- do, although it appeared the puck may have rebounded in off a Kingston defenceman. Regardless, it sparked a huge celebration for the Generals, who improved to 3-4-0-1 overall, leaving them in seventh place in the East- ern Conference. “It counts, it counts. We needed that,” said a relieved coach, Chris DePiero, after the game. “To be honest with you, no, I don’t (care who scored the goal) at this stage. I’m just happy it went over the line. “You hope that this is one of those kick-in-the-pants kind of things,” he contin- ued. “You can never real- ly tell or predict if it’s one of those watershed moments. You don’t know. I just think for us, we have to play better than we did today.” Indeed, the Generals were not expected to be struggling for wins against the likes of the Frontenacs, who dropped to 1-6-1-1, nor for that matter teams like the Belleville Bulls (4-3-0-0), another division rival to whom the Generals have lost to twice already. Although they have dealt with having several players away at pro camps and two lengthy suspensions already this season, now that play- ers such as captain Boone Jenner, Christian Thom- as, Lucas Lessio and Nick- las Jensen have all returned and settled back in, the team should have plenty enough firepower to get the job done. Jensen, who stayed away the longest and earned a contract from the Vancouver Canucks, admitted afterward to both a sense of relief at the goal he scored, and disap- pointment with the way the team has played to date. “I think we’re a lot bet- ter team, so we should have won in regulation time, but yeah, it was really nice to get that goal,” said Jensen, who admitted it gave him goose bumps. “We’ve had a cou- ple of tough games here with some losses, so it was good getting a win again.” The Generals were coming off a rough road trip, having lost 5-2 in Sarnia Friday and 5-4 in a shootout in Windsor Saturday. Despite the slow start, Jensen said he still expects big things from the team. “I’m definitely not worried about the team,” he said. “I think we have the best team in the league. We’re like a big family in there and we’re def- initely not going to fall apart. We’re definitely going to get on a roll again.” generally Speaking Although Chris DePiero said there had been no change to the status of his potential overage players as of Mon- day, the fact that Pickering’s Andy Andreoff was at the game that day has to be a good sign for the Generals. Andreoff, who was drafted in the third round by the Los Angeles Kings after a break- through 2010-11 season in Oshawa, has yet to sign a pro contract and did not start the season with the AHL’s Man- chester Monarchs as was thought possible ...

The round robin scores were 3-0 over Oakland United, 4-0 over Rochester SC Lightning and 7-0 over Magic Black.

Other team members were Sarah Matesic, Aman- da Kraft, Briana Colange- lo, Jenna Spark, Amanda Wray, Chelsi Jadoo, Kyla Mattingly-Lue, Meaghan Adam, Bailey Colangelo and Taylor Lantaigne.

Ajax FC in Classic form winning Michigan tourney ontario Junior hockey League Pickering Panthers give up double digits in loss Fall 10-6 in kingston KINGSTON -- In a wild shootout in Kingston over the Thanksgiving weekend, the Pickering Panthers just didn’t have enough ammu- nition. After giving up a pair of power play goals and another shorthanded in just over five minutes to start the game, the Panthers managed to rally back on a couple of occasions, trail- ing 6-5 and 7-6 at different points in the third period, only to fall 10-6 in the end. Specialty teams, particu- larly the power plays, con- tributed to the 16-goal out- burst the teams combined for on the afternoon. Both teams were better than 50 per cent with the man advantage, with the Pan- thers scoring on four of their seven opportunities, and Kingston going five for nine. Tanner Bull scored twice for the Panthers, who trailed 4-2 after the first period and 5-3 through two. When Sean Levac closed the margin to 7-6 with just 9:59 remain- ing in the game, it set the stage for a wild finish. But it was Kingston who man- aged to finish strong with three unanswered goals in just under six minutes. Matt Galati, Mike Sicil- lia and Taylor Pryce had the other goals for the Pan- thers. The Panthers used both goaltenders in an attempt to stop Kingston, as Adam Stein was pulled after allowing the fourth goal midway through the first period in favour of Denny Dubblestyne, who stopped 38 of the 44 shots he faced. The Panthers were outshot 48-19, according to point- streak.com. The Panthers have also lost the services of defence- man Mark Ramkema, who was suspended for three games by the league after receiving an instiga- tor, aggressor and fighting major in the second peri- od. The loss dropped the Panthers to last place in the seven-team South Division of the Ontario Junior Hock- ey League with a record of 2-7-1, and have just one win in their past seven games. After a relatively light schedule with just two games over a 14-day span, the Panthers will be busy this weekend with three games in four days. It kicks off with a home game on Friday against St. Michael’s at 7:30 p.m., continues Sat- urday at the Showcase Weekend in Cobourg with an 11 a.m. game against Wellington, and concludes Monday in Vaughan. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 12, 201120 AP Microsoft Office Specialist 2010 Training Stand out from your competition Microsoft Office Certification helps you differentiate yourself in a competitive job market and gives you the desktop computing skills to tackle the toughest tasks and projects.
