Angie Littlefield has long been involved with the Durham West Arts Centre and she’s also a former educator, having served as a teacher and vice-principal at several local high schools including Pine Ridge in Pickering. In 2005, she decided to apply her skills as an educator into the creation of lessons relat- ed to remembering and commemorating the sacrifices made by Canadian veterans. “2005 was the year of the veteran and it just seemed perfect to come up with something,” she said. And working with graphic designer Mary Cook, the two women launched www.read- ingandremembrance.ca. With different themes explored each year, the site has dozens of lessons available for teachers and more than 200 schools across Ontario are using it. Intended for high-school age students, the lessons follow the same format as the Prov- ince’s literacy test and incorporate local examples. “I try, as much as possible, to anchor things in Ontario and as much as I can in Durham. ... it was born in Durham and I like it to have pretty strong Durham roots if it can.” This year’s theme is Peacekeeping and Peacemaking and themes in previous years have included Homeland Stories, Medals and Memories, Art of Dissent, Women and War, Anti-Racism and Holocaust Education and In Flanders Fields. With this year’s theme, she thought it might be somewhat controversial because not everyone agrees with every peacekeep- ing mission Canada has participated in. But instead of focusing on the politics, she focused on the people. “I didn’t want the discussions to be about whether Canada should have been here or Canada should have been there, I wanted it to be about the individuals and the sacrifices they made.” The lessons include e-mails from Rob Gold- stein, who served on a Civil-Military Coop- eration Team in Afghanistan. Mr. Goldstein works with Ms. Littlefield’s husband in the depart- ment of justice and while he was in Afghanistan, he sent several e-mails to the office. “We have this first- hand account of a Canadian soldier, that’s never been published anywhere, of what he thought about Afghanistan.” Another lesson is called “The soldier, the diplomat and the journalist: forming inde- pendent judgments” and it highlights Ajax- Pickering MP Chris Alexander, who was Canada’s ambassador to Afghanistan, Picker- ing-Scarborough East MP Corneliu Chisu, who served in the Canadian military in Afghanistan and Bosnia and Globe and Mail correspondent and former Pine Ridge student Hamida Gha- four, who was born in Afghanistan and wrote a book about her return to the country. And although the website is targeted towards students, Ms. Littlefield said anyone can benefit from visiting and suggested it might be a good Remembrance Day activity for anyone who isn’t doing something else to commemorate the day.

Durham Regional Police report the pair was head- ing southbound on Lakeridge Road on Nov. 6 around 12:30 p.m. when a GMC SUV, operated by a 68-year-old Toronto woman, turned onto Lakeridge from Townline Road, in front of the motorcycle. The motorcycle driver, a 49-year-old man, attempted unsuccessfully to avoid the vehicle. The motorcycle driver and his passenger, a 55-year- old woman, both suffered serious life-threatening inju- ries and were taken to Uxbridge Cottage Hospital by ambulance.

To combat influenza, Durham Region is offering free flu shot clinics in November. Flu shots are also available from family physicians. Leslie McLaughlin, a public health nurse with Durham, said the reason for getting a flu shot is “basically, it helps to protect themselves and the ones they love.” Getting a shot will protect between 70 per cent and 90 per cent of adults and children, and 50 per cent of the elderly, she noted. “It prevents getting pneumonia and hos- pitalizations, and even death.” Dr. Robert Kyle, the Region’s medical officer of health, said the flu is a “serious acute respiratory illness. It’s worse than the common cold and can affect anyone at any age.” A flu shot is considered the most effec- tive way to prevent someone from con- tacting the virus, Dr. Kyle stated. “We encourage anyone six months and older to get vaccinated,” he added. Anyone at a high risk of complications from the flu is especially encouraged to be vaccinated, Dr. Kyle said. This year, the vaccine contains strains of A/2009 H1N1, A/2009 H3N2 and B/Bris- bane/2008. The World Health Organiza- tion “recommended these three types be incorporated into the flu vaccine,” Ms. McLaughlin said. The vaccine doesn’t contain a live virus, so getting a shot won’t give you the flu. It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to take effect, but it can last up to a year, she noted. As the vaccine only lasts a year, it’s important to get a shot annually. How long someone would be sick with the flu “depends. For most, it’s two to seven days. It can be longer, especially for the elderly or those with a chronic medi- cal condition.” Anyone with an allergy to eggs or egg products can get a shot, but they are advised to get it from their family doctor. If they don’t have a doctor, call the Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729 for more information.

They started because of the economic crash caused in 2008 by Wall Street invest- ment bankers, who sold toxic mortgages mixed with sound investments on a glob- al basis. The resulting worldwide recession has shaken economies to their very core, resulting in massive unemployment. This has been compounded by a lack of credit being extended because of distrust among lenders of the viability of economic institutions. To add insult to injury, those bankers not only were never charged with criminal intent, but were also given mas- sive bailouts from the U.S. government. The protests in New York addressed the terrible fallout from the economic turmoil caused by the investment bankers. Not one Canadian bank was involved in this nor did any of them fail. The protests in Toronto have evolved into something else for the sake of objecting to a variety of populist complaints, many of which fail to recog- nize that Canada is the economic envy of the world. We are not New York or America. A little perspective is necessary. Chris Topple Oshawa Sex educatiOn Informed kids are better kids To the editor: Re: ‘Sex education curriculum an insult’ letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, Oct. 26, 2011. I think that the parallel drawn in this let- ter between corporal punishment in the classroom and the determined effort to eradicate homophobia is inappropriate. The former has negative consequences; the latter has positive ones. Cultivating kind kids should be a goal of everyone in our community, from parents to educators. Therefore, teaching our kids to respect others, regardless of their differ- ences, is paramount. A lack of knowledge or familiarity with something can lead a person to deem it in a negative light. This can result in fear or disdain -- nei- ther of which are likely to result in kind- ness. The adage, “It takes a village...” is espe- cially true today with the hectic schedules that the average family juggles. Parents have a lot on their plates as they try to teach their kids social skills at every age, support homework, cheerlead at extracurricular events, and provide a safe environment to grow up in. I think that our kids benefit if the village around us participates in a positive fash- ion. Homophobia may well be a topic that is not top of mind, and never gets discussed at the dinner table. If our schools can assist us in ensuring that our kids are informed, we may well benefit from diminished ignorance and increased kindness. This, I think, is a wor- thy goal. Jennifer Short Bowmanville inSight Eating disorder project a revelation To the editor: For a school project I was given the topic of eating disorders. Once I started doing research and looking more into the sub- ject, I was horrified to realize that more girls than I realized suffer from them. In fact, one in 10 girls in North America has an eating disorder. There is not much I can do by simply completing my school project, but I want- ed to try and at least bring awareness to the fact that the girls of our community do not feel that they are beautiful enough the way they are. The media tells them that they have to look a certain way to be beautiful and, if not, then they are ugly. Yet, we know sim- ply by looking around that this is not true. So, please, make sure that the women in your life realize that they are beautiful and worthwhile. When we look at our sisters, daughters and mothers, we don’t see someone who is overweight or ugly, we see the most beau- tiful girls in the world. I just wish that they could see it, too.

All content copyright We think... email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Editorial Opinions durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 9, 20116 AP& Durham residents urged to get their flu shot this month With winter approaching, so too comes the dreaded flu season. A severe respiratory illness, the flu can cause complications such as pneumonia and hospitalizations, and can even result in death. Each November, the Durham Region health department offers a num- ber of local clinics where residents can get a free flu shot to protect their health from this contagious illness. A bit of prevention goes a long way. The time spent getting the shot at a local clin- ic is nothing compared to the down time of being sick. Those who take the pre- caution of getting their shot protect not only themselves, but also help curtail the spread of the respiratory bug. Since the shot is only good for one year, we need to make an annual trip to get the needle. This year’s vaccine contains strains rec- ommended by the World Health Orga- nization, and does not contain the virus itself, so no one can get the flu from the shot. Leslie McLaughlin, a public health nurse with Durham Region, says getting a shot will protect between 70 per cent and 90 per cent of adults and children, and 50 per cent of the elderly. Anyone older than six months is encouraged to get a flu shot, and it will take about two weeks for the vaccine to take effect. Getting a flu shot is basic common sense, and should go hand-in-hand with other preventative health measures such as washing hands regularly, eating well and getting enough rest. Now that the Region has reviewed its procedures in the wake of losing resi- dents' personal data collected during flu clinics in 2009, that mishandling of confi- dential information should not deter any- one from doing whatever they can to per- sonally guarantee their health this winter. When respiratory illness receives the kind of attention that SARS and H1N1 received, residents need no urging to line up for a needle, but a regular flu shot each winter is just as important. Don't overlook it. Anyone with an allergy to eggs or egg products can get a shot, but they are advised to get it from their family doctor. If they don’t have a doctor, call the Dur- ham Health Connection Line at 905-666- 6241 or 1-800-841-2729 for more informa- tion. Visit the Region’s website at www.dur- ham.ca for more information and where the free, drop-in clinics are being held. Have you ever found yourself in one of those situations where you’re fairly cer- tain the universe is trying to teach you something? I think I was in one last Sat- urday. The problem is that I still haven’t really figured out what the lesson was. I had been to see the optometrist earlier that morning and she had put some drops in my eyes to dilate my pupils. No biggie, except that when you no lon- ger have any real control over how much light is entering your eyes, they get watery very quickly and the world suddenly looks like a Van Gogh canvas. I wasn’t thinking about that however. In fact, I suppose I must not have been doing much at all in the way of thinking, when I grabbed a plastic bag and a trowel and decided that now would be an opportune time to pick up the dog poo. If you’re a dog owner you know that picking up after your animal, while cer- tainly the responsible thing to do, is never anything close to fun. Picking up after your dog in the fall, when the lawn is covered in maddening- ly poop-colored leaves, is at best, tricky. Doing it while you are experiencing the visual acuity of Mister Magoo is a recipe for disaster. The ridiculous thing is that the futility of the situation was not something that had to creep up on me. It wasn’t like I was half- way through the task and became aware that things were getting a little dicey. No, within seconds of stepping onto the lawn, leaning over to within six inches of the ground and squinting myopically at my feet, I knew this was a bad idea. But I kept doing it. I’d like to say I kept going simply because I’m an idiot, and there would be some validity to that statement. I am, after all, the same guy who thought he could bal- ance a full gallon of paint on a single rung, 30 feet up a ladder. Unfortunately, I think the ineptitude runs deeper, all the way into the DNA in fact. This is a male thing. I’m not sure why we exhibit such baf- flingly illogical behaviour but I suspect there is something anthropological about it. Men are hardwired to respond to chal- lenges, to meet adversity head on and push through it, to finish what we started. Without this kind of stick-to-it-iveness mankind would never have reached the moon, plumbed the depths of the ocean or slaughtered millions in the First and Second World wars. We’re do-ers. In the old days, men had numerous, constructive outlets for this trait. There were great tracts of land to clear, wilder- nesses to chart and homesteads to build. Nowadays, when everything seems to be done for us and challenges are harder to come by, men have to take what they can get. Which is why we end up in the back- yard with a bag and a trowel, blinking into the lawn like Roy Orbison looking for a dropped cuff-link. Only you don’t want to step on one of these cuff-links. In retrospect, I believe the universe real- ly was trying to tell me something that day. Like never wear your good loafers while picking up dog poop in the fall.

Tucked inside are dozens of advertising flyers which, combined with the newspaper, pro- vide a broad reading experience. The advent of the Internet has prompt- ed several new channels for news con- sumption: at durhamregion.com we pub- lish daily news, features, video and photos which can be accessed from your laptop or tablet device; the new mobile version of durhamregion.com makes news from across Durham Region accessible on your smart phone; and our new mobile apps allow you to access stories from your home municipality. Or do you gravitate towards Facebook and Twitter? For us, it’s all of the above. No one medium can be discounted as having no value. Likewise, no one product can be seen as our defining medium. Here’s what I think I know: breaking news -- fires, major crime, major political announcements -- belong online as quickly as we can factually get them there. Analysis, opinions, features, things to do -- combined, these can create a wonderful, leisurely print package. Over the coming weeks and months we will be doing a deep dive into our website traffic stats, we’ll be asking our print read- ers what they like best about our newspa- pers and what they’d like to see more of. You may be asked from time to time to be part of the process. Please feel free to weigh in because we appreciate your input. -- Editor-in-Chief Joanne Burghardt can be found on Twitter at jbnewsdurham durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 9, 20118 P The spooky sculpture is just one of many odd things she’s baked over the course of her career. Some of her favourite creations include wedding cakes in the shape of a 22-inch, upright doughnut, and another in the image of the happy couple’s prized Pug puppy. “These are not your average cakes, people wouldn’t come to me for your everyday birth- day,” Ms. Bugeja explains of her creations, which can take up to 100 hours to create. “Just the flowers alone could take you up to 60 hours, since each petal has to be made individually, then coloured and assembled. Then there’s all the planning and designing and research that goes on beforehand, there’s a lot of background stuff. So even if the actu- al baking takes eight hours, it feels like a cake takes weeks.” In addition to her cake artistry, Ms. Bugeja offers cake-making supplies and classes at Flour Confections. The retail side of her busi- ness has slowly overtaken the custom cake portion since she opened the retail outlet in 2009. “It turned out to be a very good business plan,” she said, noting she opened during a risky time, at the height of the economic downturn. “Now we’ve already moved to a bigger space and we’re shipping supplies worldwide to places like Australia and Saudi Arabia.” Ms. Bugeja said she has always been inter- ested in baking, but was sort of shoved into the business when her cousin “forced” her to make his wedding cake in 2004. “It really snowballed from there,” she explains. “I love the creativity of it, I’ve always been artistic. I’ve also always loved food, maybe too much, so it seemed natural to take those two loves and combine them. Also, any- time you have a cake it’s a special event where people are happy. I love being a part of that.” Ms. Bugeja is still celebrating after receiv- ing second runner-up for her cake creation and first place in masters confections for her cookies at this year’s Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show, held Oct. 2, the largest judged art show in North America. “It was totally surreal for me,” she said, explaining that runners-up are placed according to a point range, and she was just points away from first place. “When you come to the top five it means you’ve met some big standards, so to be the second runner-up is huge. It makes me sort of anxious too. Someone once said ‘you’re only as good as your last cake,’ so it makes you wonder what you’re going to do next year.” Ms. Bugeja notes that she sometimes takes the cake industry by surprise, coming from a lesser-known city such as Pickering. She recalls one Chanel-themed wedding cake that was chosen from an earlier Oklahoma competition to be photographed for Brides Magazine, and then became the design for Kim Kardashian’s wedding shower cake. “People don’t really expect what they can get here, I’m sure all those people read- ing Brides Magazine were kind of confused when they saw ‘Pickering, Ontario,’” she says, laughing. “But this is my area, I’m from Dur- ham and I’m not moving. I could easily go to Toronto but we have just as much to offer as downtown, if not more.” Ms. Bugeja is currently getting ready for another televised competition, this time in the U.S., where she will participate in an upcoming wedding cake episode of the Food Network Challenge. She will also be teach- ing at the That Takes the Cake Sugar Art Show and Cake Competition in Texas and the Great Lakes Mini-classes and Michigan Sugar Art Showcase Cake Competition.

Our kids are back in school now, with all the opportunities and challenges that new grades may bring. Every new school year presents a fresh start and a new chance to avoid slipping into common problem areas that many students encounter at one time or another. Want better grades this year? Knowing how to identify common school problems and how to avoid them helps stu- dents get on track to getting better grades. Check out these Six Common Trouble Spots, and tips for how to avoid them, that all students should know about: •Disorganization. Being disorganized is a major issue for many students. Whether it is a messy book bag, an unkempt locker, confusing notes, or sloppy handwriting, being disorganized makes it difficult for students to stay focused and achieve their potential • Homework. Like it or not, homework is a school reality. Avoiding it won’t make it go away. The sooner a student develops good homework habits, the easier it becomes. Put a homework strategy and schedule together and stick with it. • Study Skills. Most students don’t really know how to study and that is simply because proper study skills are rarely taught in school. To be effective, studying doesn’t have to take hours. Proper study skills reduce stress, cut down on study time, and help students during testing. • Attendance. One of the easiest ways to get good grades is to show up – in body and in spirit. Missing class every now and again might not seem like a big deal, but a portion of a student’s grade usually comes from classroom participation - but students can’t par- ticipate if they are not there! But just being there still isn’t enough – sitting at the back of the class waiting for learning to sink in doesn’t really count. They must be engaged in the learning process – listening and thinking, asking and answering - they must be active learners. • Forgetting Work. Students shouldn’t rely on their mem- ory to help them remember all their homework and assign- ments. Most schools provide students with their own agenda or planner to help keep track their work. Agendas also help students to remember important dates, plan extra curricular activities, and set goals. • Get Help. If a student had trouble last year, chances are that the same problem will be an issue again this year. Don’t wait and see if the problem will arise again - get help now and get back on track. Whether it is a school subject like Math or English, or in a school skill like organization or study habits, outside help can solve problems once and for all.

A OFAYDEMEMBRANCER Every November 11th, Canadians pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who served their country during wartime and in the cause of peace.More than 1,500,000 Canadians served overseas—in the First World War (1914-18),the Second World War (1939-45), and the Korean War (1950-53). More than 100,000 died. Let us remember the sacrifice of our Ve terans; as well as the young members of our community who have, and continue to dedicate their lives to safeguarding our nation and our values.

ROYA L COURIER&CARTAG E Cyril is continuing to serve, as he was out during Remembrance Week, selling poppies at Sunnybrook Hospital where he is a current resident in the Veterans Wing. During the second World War, Cyril was in the airforce serving as a navigator in the Bomber Command in the 426 Squadron based out of Yorkshire, England. His group was the number 6 Canadian Bomber group. He navigated a two engine Wellington plane. We are lucky to have him in our lives to this day, as a twist of fate occurred. His squadron was wiped out while he was recovering in the hospital from a horseback accident! Though we know it was a sad fate for his fellow comrades, we are eternally grateful to have him with us, for without him, all of our lives would be different!

The poppy has stood as the official symbol of Canada’s Remembrance Day since 1921, a visual reminder of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for war. Some may wonder why this small flower is used to represent the fallen soldier. Poppies and fallen soldiers have a long history together. The origins of the flower can be traced back to the Napoleonic wars in France. During these times of unrest and battle, many soldiers went on to final resting places in graves in Flanders, France. Ensuing literature describing how poppies grew so thickly and vibrantly over these graves - in soil that once could not produce much vegetation. Years later, a soldier would be instrumental in bringing the symbol of the poppy to the hearts and minds of Canadians. When John McCrae served in World War I as a Lieutenant-Colonel, he was stationed near Ypres, Belgium, the area traditionally called Flanders. McCrae observed how poppies grew so well among the makeshift graves of the soliders, which were marked by wooden crosses. When McCrae lost a fellow soldier and close friend, he penned a poem called “In Flanders Fields” and portrayed the picture of war and the poppy flower visual. Remembrance Day November 11, 2011 Lest We Forget The poppy is a symbol of Wartime Remembrance On behalf of the Ajax Council and all the residents of the To wn of Ajax, a solemn thank you to those who risked everything so that we could continue to know the blessing of freedom.

Love Mom & Dad Remembrance Day November 11, 2011 Lest We Forget NC)—Devoting a few minutes of silence on Remembrance Day can seem like a lifetime when you have meetings to attend, items to check off the “to do” list, and emails to type. But in the business of life, it’s important to remember soldiers and veterans who have sacrificed their lives and personal comforts so we could enjoy our own. Show your appreciation to our troops by participating in these meaningful gestures: Attend a ceremony. Back in grade school, mandatory assemblies kept us on track with the purpose and significance of Remembrance Day. But with age comes responsibility, and without your teacher’s insistence, it can become difficult to stay accountable. Give your respect to those who fought and continue to fight for your freedom by scheduling time to attend a ceremony or watching one on television. Poppy pride. From the last Friday in October to November 11, pin a poppy on the left lapel of your garment or as close to the heart as possible. This will publicly remind you of what it represents and will also encourage others to do the same. Thank soldiers personally. Send a letter or card to express your appreciation. Mailing addresses are listed on the Department of National Defense website. You can also post a message to troops on the site’s message board. Put others first. Follow the example of Canadian soldiers who aim to bring peace and security to countries in need and do your part to help those who suffer.

That’s the message emanat- ing from the hockey staff of the Pickering Panthers, in particu- lar head coach Mike Galati, who pulled the trigger on a couple of deals over the weekend to try to improve his struggling Ontario Junior Hockey League club. “We’re trying to start fresh,” says Galati, who has been tak- ing care of the hockey opera- tions since former general man- ager Rob Toffoli resigned. “We want to win and we’re not giv- ing up. We’re only a couple of points out of a playoff spot and I think once we get on a bit of a roll here, I think we’ll be fine. “Once we’re in the playoffs, anything can happen. It’s get- ting there. Making these last couple of adjustments will help us.” On Saturday the Panthers completed a trade with Orange- ville that landed them defence- man Michael Mastrangelo in exchange for forward Cosimo Fontana. Mastrangelo is a six-foot-five, 220-pound, 1993-born play- er from Scarborough who was drafted by the Brampton Battal- ion in the fourth round in 2009. He played 40 games last season in Villanova with the Knights, and appeared in five with Oran- geville this season. “I’ve known him from minor hockey a little bit,” says Galati. “He’s a big, tough defenceman who has a big shot. He’ll help on the back end for sure.” Fontana is trying to get his hockey career back on track after suffering a concussion with the Ottawa 67’s last season after just 14 games, missing the remain- der of the schedule and playoffs. A fourth-round pick of Ottawa in 2010, Fontana had one goal and two assists in 14 games this season with the Panthers. The second deal came on Mon- day in a swap of forwards with Aurora. The Panthers acquired Dylan Hutton, sending Andrew Goldberg the other way. It’s a homecoming of sorts for Hutton, who hails from Ajax, and was a 12th-round OHL pick of Ottawa in 2008. The 19 year old has experience in the league with Orangeville where he reg- istered 30 points in 44 games in 2008-09, and the following year with the Toronto Jr. Canadiens where he had 16 goals and 26 assists in 47 games. Last season he packed his bags for the Mari- time Hockey League, playing for the Woodstock Slammers and Yarmouth Mariners. “He went out to the Maritimes and got over a point a game there in a pretty good league,” says Galati. “We’re trying to get as many local kids back because there are a lot of good players from the area and he’s one of them. He’s a premier player in the league for sure.” Goldberg was third in team scoring with 4-9-13 numbers in the 12 games he played with the Panthers this season. This past weekend produced a 7-2 loss on home ice Sunday to Vaughan, with Mike Sicillia and Andrew McCann accounting for the goals. The Panthers (3-14- 1), will host Kingston on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and visit the Toron- to Jr. Canadiens Sunday. ajax forward representing canada east at World Junior a Hockey challenge SHaWn cayley scayley@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- It’s been quite a year for Devin Shore. The 17-year-old dynamic for- ward from Ajax has opened some eyes, it seems, in every hockey cir- cle around. Back in the spring, after a season playing at the Hill Academy, the former Barrie Colts draft pick made a verbal commitment to bypass the Ontario Hockey League in favour of the NCAA where he’ll attend the University of Maine, either in the fall of 2012 or 2013. On the heels of that, Shore hooked up with the Whitby Fury, who were more than happy to add a player they had tried to get their hands on one year prior. And all Shore has done since join- ing the Fury is get some ink on the NHL watch list for next summer’s draft, attend camp and eventual- ly make Team Canada East’s ros- ter for the World Junior A Hockey Challenge. Oh, and he leads the Fury in scor- ing as well. The key? It’s simple, says Shore. “I think just going to the rink every day and trying my best to help the team win and not focus- ing on individual anything. Just to say, ‘what can I do to help the team win’. Sometimes it’s block- ing a shot, sometimes in winning a faceoff, sometimes it’s getting points,” he explains. “Whatever I can do to help the team I just try to do that and it’s fun when I can help the guys win.” Having a little fun in the process helps too. “It’s the best game in the world. You have to treat it like a game sometimes. You can’t get caught up in all the emotion of it. You have to remember to have the time of your life with your buddies and it’s a ton of fun,” Shore adds. What wasn’t fun though, he admits, was trying to arrive at a decision regarding the OHL and NCAA debate. With prime options for both sit- ting in front of him, the debate raged. One day Shore was headed one way. The next it was anoth- er. That went on for quite a while before he finally arrived at a con- clusion. The OHL was intriguing, but the NCAA was a better fit in his mind. “It was one of those decisions that I agonized over for months. I was like a teeter-totter. Back and forth, back and forth,” he recalls. “I just figured that education is very important to me. Even if I went the OHL, I’d still get an education, but to be able to get a post-secondary education and be able to play elite level hockey is a great feeling. Also, it gives me more time to develop instead of rushing things in the OHL, where there might only be that two- or three-year window.” So for now he’s content plying his trade with the Fury under coach Curtis Hodgins and his staff. In fact, it’s the presence of Hod- gins behind the bench that led, in part, to Shore’s decision to pull a Fury jersey on this season. “I love Curtis as a coach. He’s the best coach I’ve ever played for. He was a huge reason why I came here. It was a really easy decision on my part,” he said.

OntariO HOckey League Generals ready to start Agnew behind the bench Oshawa makes coaching change Brian Mcnair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Generals began thinking about a coaching change as far back as last season’s playoffs, says major- ity owner and president Rocco Tullio. A slow start to a promising season prompted the axe to fall Sunday, as Tullio replaced Chris DePiero with Gary Agnew as head coach shortly after a 3-1 loss to the Kitchener Rangers at the General Motors Centre. On Monday, Tullio cited undisciplined play and a lack of identity among the rea- sons for making the switch now, just 20 games into the Ontario Hockey League season. “The team was under-performing in our estimation. I think to be at 8-10-2 was not acceptable. We were hoping the team would find its identity and unfortunately it didn’t happen,” explained Tullio. “We haven’t been playing the game right for some time, undisciplined penalties and a lot of things, giving up too many shots. It’s not acceptable for the amount of tal- ent we have in that dressing room.” Agnew brings a wealth of experience at every level, most recently as an assistant coach with the Columbus Blue Jackets from 2006 to 2010. The 51-year-old Niagara Falls native coached in the OHL for 10 years, from 1990 to 2000, and won the Matt Leyden Trophy as coach of the year twice, both with the London Knights. He also spent six years as head coach of the American Hockey League’s Syracuse Crunch before moving up to the NHL. “It was an opportunity where the timing was just perfect and we’re pretty excited to have him onboard,” explained Tullio, saying Agnew’s contract with Columbus had recently expired. “He’ll bring some accountability, some structure and some systems that hopefully we can imple- ment and right the ship rather quickly. It’s a different voice and I think we need- ed that.” DePiero will keep his general manager’s role, while assistant coaches Joe Cirella and Roger Hunt will also stay on. While admitting it could be a little awk- ward now working alongside DePiero, Agnew said he was excited about the opportunity to join such an historic fran- chise as the Generals. He said his first order of business will be to deal with the players, their attitudes and their willingness to do what’s best for the team. “I’m more interested in dealing with the core values, trying to build them as a team, trying to build them and make them better players individually, and then when we look at what makes a good hockey team, we talk about competitive level and blocking shots, taking a hit to make a play,” he said. “So I think initial- ly anyway we’re going to really focus on that area, rather than the x’s and the o’s.” DePiero joined the Generals as an assistant under coach/GM Brad Selwood in 2006, replaced Selwood as head coach near the end of the 2007-08 season, and as general manger the following season. Last season, he guided the Generals to a 39-19-4-6 regular season and through a round of playoffs before the team was eliminated in five games by the Niagara IceDogs. The Generals entered this season with high expectations, but have not been able to build any momentum, which DePiero admitted Monday cost him his coaching job. “I look in the mirror and I’ll take full responsibility for our record and where we’re at and as part of that responsibil- ity, sometimes you have to be brutally honest with yourself,” he said. “I think he (Agnew) is going to be able to bring a dif- ferent voice, different ideas to our play- ers. We have 48 hockey games to go, so he’s going to have a big chunk of the sea- son to get what he wants across. I look forward to working with him.” Agnew and DePiero met for the first time Monday, and it went well, accord- ing to both men. “It’s a really interesting dynamic and I really like the way he’s approached it,” Agnew said Monday. “We had a lit- tle meeting this morning and we’ll work through it for sure. It’s a little uncomfort- able but he’s a classy guy and a true pro- fessional in the way he’s dealt with it.” DePiero’s main focus now, it would seem, will be to shore up a blue-line that has lost and dearly missed Calvin de Haan, Scott Valentine and Tony DeHart from last year’s team. He said Monday, however, he would likely give Agnew a month or so to make his own evaluations and suggestions for change. durhamregion.comdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • November 9, 201120 AP PSW Diploma Program Launching this exciting new Personal Support Worker program in Whitby Nationally accredited by NACC, KLC College has been successfully serving the needs of SE Ontario since 1983, is now expanding to the Durham Region.
