Event introduces students to world of local farming KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- More than 300 students at an Oshawa high school now know that anyone from environmentalists to computer enthusiasts can get involved in Durham farming. The third annual Farm Connections taught students at Maxwell Heights Secondary School about local opportunities in farming. The pro- gram focused on the high school science pro- gram, and the content was designed as an exten- sion of the information covered in grades 9, 11 and 12 curriculums. “Our job is to help them learn about the agri- culture portion of the curriculum,” said Nicole Swain, a volunteer with Farm Connections who comes from a farming family herself. She’s also a teacher at Donald A. Wilson Sec- ondary School in Whitby. Durham Farm Connections has a mission to enhance knowledge, understanding and appre- ciation of agriculture and the agri-food industry within Durham, and to foster a broader under- standing of what farmers do and the importance of agriculture today. Now in its third year, the Farm Connections high school program is orga- nized by volunteers and supported by Durham Region’s planning and economic development department. Students visited stations that featured speakers on topics such as cheese making, crop protec- tion, green energy and technology in agriculture. Ms. Swain said she appreciates that many stu- dents don’t hide the fact that they know little about farming. This allows volunteers to dispel the myths that are often associated with farming, said Katelyn Larmer of Ontario Agriculture Food Education, an organization that provides educational pro- grams and resources to enhance awareness of the agri-food industry. “There are a lot of myths so we’re trying to tell them the facts,” she said. For example, some students in the past have thought brown cows produce chocolate milk. “I think it’s a fantastic opportunity for high schools students to learn about agriculture, espe- cially the agriculture in their own back yard,” she said. Maxwell Heights science teacher Andrea Mill- er said having the people actually working in the farms speaking to the students is a good way for them to learn. “One of the things that’s really helpful for us as teachers is bringing in real-life connections to what we’re teaching in the science course,” she said. And it’s a good springboard to generate discus- sion among the students on issues such as pesti- cides, genetically modified agriculture or the pro- tection of watersheds. “They found it really inter- esting,” she said of the feedback she’d received so far. “It’s fast-paced and interesting, which appeals to students today.” Students make farm connections RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Danielle Findlay, a Grade 12 student at Maxwell Heights Secondary School, listened to a presentation during the Durham Farm Connections program at the school Sept. 27. Stations were set up in the library with speakers who discussed agriculture and how Durham Region farmers help to put food on local dinner tables.‘‘It’s fast-paced and interesting, which appeals to students today.’ Andrea Miller, Maxwell Heights >FEATURE: Gluten Free Week What is gluten?

Pickering fire department reminds families to have escape plan PICKERING -- Pickering res- idents are being reminded to “Have Two Ways Out”, the theme for this year’s Fire Pre- vention Week. “In a fire emergency, your family may have only sec- onds to escape from your home,” says Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas. “Practise your home fire escape plan and make sure everyone can get out safely.” The fire department offers the following tips for home fire escape planning: • Assess the needs of every- one in your home. Identify anyone who requires assis- tance, such as small children or older adults; • Ensure that you have working smoke alarms on every storey of your home and outside of all sleeping areas, and make sure every- one in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm; • Identify all possible exits (doors and windows) and make sure they work. Know two ways out of all areas, if possible; • Everyone must know what to do when the smoke alarm sounds. Assign some- one to help those who need assistance; identify a safe meeting place outside; call the fire department from a neighbour’s home or cell- phone; • Practise your home fire plan. • Make changes to your plan if necessary.

Just ask public sector unions that have borne the brunt of Premier Dalton McGuinty’s cost-cutting campaign to date. But what of those who have no voice, no powerful union bosses to challenge gov- ernment policy, no advocate to champion their cause? That’s the case for hundreds of Durham Region cardiac patients who can no longer receive life-saving treatment here at home because funding for a much-used cardiac care centre was substantially reduced. They must once again travel to Toronto for vital check-ups. Heart Care, a cardiac care centre on King Street in Oshawa, treated extremely ill patients, focusing on implantable cardio- verter defibrillators (ICDs). These are men and women who essentially suffer from end-stage heart failure and are at a high risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricu- lar fibrillation. The clinic ensured that the implanted devices were working properly and reprogrammed them where necessary. The funding cuts didn’t close Heart Care, but eliminated the ICDs program, forcing the most vulnerable patients to once again head west to Toronto for necessary medical care. This is a perfect opportunity for Conser- vative health critic and Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott to intervene, raise the issue in the provincial legislature and seek measures that can save the ICDs clinic or have it operate, perhaps, on a smaller scale through Lakeridge Health or Rouge Valley Ajax. Governments of any stripe must take stock of the impacts of their cuts in situations such as this, particularly when the most vulnerable citizens are at risk. In reducing costs associated with the ICDs clinic, the Province increases the chance of serious ill- ness, even death, for Durham residents. We welcome the efforts of Durham MPP John O’Toole, who says he’ll take the gov- ernment to task on the decision given his next opportunity at Question Period, and strongly encourage MPP Elliott to push the issue as her party’s health critic. Local specialists who helped patients here at the ICDs clinic have indicated they’d be willing to get back to assisting those patients if funding is secured. By combining their efforts, they can at least force the government to look at the human impact of these cuts and encour- age members to revisit the issue with a view to extending necessary funding or finding other ways to serve Durham’s most vulner- able cardiac patients. It’s officially official: I’m a 5K runner My first 5K run was four months in the making but I’ve done it. It was a great feeling joining hundreds of other runners and walkers in Durham Region’s Run For The Cure Sept. 30 at Oshawa’s Lakeview Park. Not only had I completed my goal of a 5K run, but the enthusiasm in the crowd was contagious. People decked out in pink -- from the sublime to the outrageous -- all working together toward the common goal of wiping out cancer. It’s impossible not to smile when you’re run- ning beside a chihuahua wearing a pink tutu! My decision to start running dates back to June of last year and my unsuccessful attempt to climb even part way up Castle Mountain near Banff. It turns out Castle Mountain presents a mighty challenge for even the fittest of hikers and my husband and I didn’t make it very far at all. As I gasped for breath just a couple of kilometres into our climb, a very spry couple who looked to be 25 years older than us merrily waved as they, seemingly effortlessly, continued their climb. I realized then that I just didn’t have the energy I once had and it was hampering my ability to really enjoy the activities I want- ed to undertake. It took me a year of thinking about it to actually get started on my get-in-shape program. You’d think running is the most natu- ral thing in the world but when I finally laced up my runners in early June I couldn’t run for one minute before having to stop and walk. It took four months but with the help of the Learn to Run group at Whitby’s Running Room, and some encouragement from fam- ily and friends in the office, I’m now able to run 5K with only a couple of one-minute walking breaks. My knees no longer scream at me for days after a run and I feel a lot better both mentally and physically. If you’re thinking about taking that next step to better health, please do it. I did and it was worth it! -- Editor-in-Chief Joanne Burghardt is registered for two more 5Ks.

Or even a redundancy? Who among us doesn’t live in remarkably interesting times? Everyone has stuff. All of us are given our measure of worry, annoyance, guilt, anger, resentment and jealousy as well as a closet full of their lesser cousins: failure, insecurity, self- loathing. These things and, more importantly, the way we deal with them, are what make life interesting. A life completely free of stress, worry and irrita- tion, as much as we might desire it, would not be much of a life. I’m grasping this more fully nowa- days as my own life has gone from one of relative- ly quiet predictability to what feels like free-falling without a chute. Most days I think I’m living in a snow globe that some joker picks up and shakes the hell out of the minute my eyes open in the morning. Everything, it seems, is in flux. Firm ground is as rare as hen’s teeth. And the only rule books I can get my hands on seem always to have just gone out of date. Interesting times indeed. Luckily I am not alone on this carnival ride. My family and my extended family, old and new, are in the middle of a sea change that makes continental drift seem like a hiccup. At least, that’s how it feels to us. Every- thing most of us knew, relied upon and set our days by has been turned on its head. My wife is now my ex-wife and is faced with the monumental task of rediscover- ing herself and building a new life upon that foundation. She visits often but she does not live here anymore. She no longer gets to hear the voices of her children when she awakens every morning. No instrument has been built that can measure the empti- ness of that feeling, I am certain. Likewise are the boys adjusting to a world where Mom is not always a shout away. They are learning to share their home, their lives and their Dad with a woman who is kind and patient and loving but who is not their mom. A woman who, by the way, may have the hardest row to hoe of all of us. A woman who has packed up her entire life and moved it into a home that is not only not hers, but clearly another woman’s. Who, like Olivier’s understudy, has the unenvi- able task of assuming a role made famous by an adored other. A mother in her own right, she not only has to learn to dance with my sons, but she has her own daughter’s feelings to attend to. And as if all that weren’t enough ... she has to live with me. The ripple effect is astounding. And what about me? It’s my universe so, naturally, I put myself squarely in the middle of it all. Foot-sore from walking on egg- shells, mouth aching and stretched from regularly placing my feet in there, knees abraded and stiff from apologizing. Most of my time feeling a day late and a dol- lar short. Still, in the midst of all of this chaos, I am alive. Intensely alive. I don’t think I’ve ever felt any more alive. There’s no coasting in a life like this. Stand still too long and something is guaranteed to steamroll you. The days are long, exhausting and very often bewildering. But they are full. And yes, it’s all very, very interesting. -- Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column.

The hos- pital will just become one compo- nent of a range, or gamut, of health care services." Currently 42 per cent of Ontario's annual budget is spent on health care. Mr. Ganderton said that num- ber is expected to rise to 50 per cent in five to 10 years. "If we continue at that rate ... that will squeeze out funding for educa- tion, for roads, for everything else," he said. The new funding model will end fixed annual incomes for hospitals. "Seventy per cent of our funding within three years will be fully vari- able, based on the rank of services and volume of services that we pro- vide ... We are unlikely to be able to continue to provide every service," Mr. Ganderton said, adding, "From the Ajax-Pickering hospital's point of view, the opportunities are great- er for growth than contraction." The restructuring will see funding for community services increased at the expense of hospitals and their physicians. "The concept is that it will pro- vide faster access to high-quality care, hopefully at lower cost, that funding will follow the patient, and that high-performing organiza- tions will be rewarded with more volume and funding, and hospitals will have to become more com- petitive on both quality and a cost basis," Mr. Ganderton explained. Since the Ajax-Pickering hospi- tal has a high-volume emergency department, he said its basic range of services should continue to receive funding. "I think what we might see is some tinkering, or at least consoli- dation around the edges for minor procedures, which can be delivered in alternative settings," he said. He assured any changes in ser- vices at the Ajax-Pickering hospi- tal will be accompanied by pub- lic consultation, and noted health care providers may join together under the new funding model. "I think we'll be looking at public partnerships," he said. "The reality is that at some point the concept of mergers, whether that's between hospitals or other providers in the health system, will be on the table, and I think we will be led down that particular path." While unclear exactly what the funding restructuring means for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering, Mr. Ganderton said the hospital will not be immune to change.

Basic Health Club Annual Membership* $405+HST Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com This is part two of a two-part series looking at agriculture in Durham Region. Part one looked at the effects of growth on agricultural operations and part two focuses on options for preserving farmland.As irreplaceable farmland contin- ues disappearing across the prov- ince, conservation advocates are cheering efforts to preserve ara- ble land. When the new Rouge National Urban Park was announced in July, conservationists praised the creation of an unbroken park sys- tem connecting the Oak Ridges Moraine to Lake Ontario. To achieve this, Parks Canada also created an entirely new park model that will integrate conservation, modern urban infrastructure and non-park uses such as agriculture. “We see agriculture as an important ele- ment in Parks Canada’s long-term vision,” said Catherine Gremier, director for the Rouge National Park Initiative. “Agriculture is a significant land use in the territory right now, and we would like to see that celebrated and promoted. It’s about cel- ebrating the agricultural heritage of the valley and promoting sustainable agriculture into the future.” Approximately 75 working farms can be found within the study area for the proposed park, constituting 60 per cent of the land base. Some of those farms are located on feder- al lands in northern Markham, which have been in limbo since they were expropriated for a potential airport in 1972. The Markham lands are a just small piece of a larger chunk of land encompassing much of northern Pickering, where residents have been advocating for the creation of a land trust to preserve the area for agricultural use. “Conservation trusts are not a new thing, they have them all over the world,” said Lorne Almack, a Claremont resident and founding member of the Green Door Alliance, which advocates for a land trust. “We don’t think farmland should be in some Soviet form,” Mr. Almack explained. “We believe in free enterprise, we think most people would buy farms with ease- ments registered on the title saying they could never be developed. They would be owners and stewards of the land, protecting it from urban sprawl.” Mr. Almack’s own 34-hectare property in Claremont has been protected by a conser- vation easement to the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. “It can never be built on, this way it will be preserved in perpetuity,” Mr. Almack explained, calling land trusts “absolutely” an option to combat farmland loss. Based out of the University of Guelph, the Ontario Farmland Trust works to protect and preserve farmland by working directly with landowners who want to see their farms per- manently protected for agricultural use. “We always say farmers are the original con- servationists,” said Matt Setzkorn, policy co- ordinator for OFT. “They are so closely tied to the land, their whole livelihood is invested in how they steward the land.” The organization has long seen the federal lands as a unique opportunity. “We have a really unique scenario here where we have land that’s been held by the government for so many years without any of the development pressure you see in other parts of the GTA,” Mr. Setzkorn explained. “Removing that development pressure cre- ates a really unique opportunity with a large amount of land so close to an urban area. It’s really exciting.” Mr. Setzkorn sees the move to include agri- culture in the new Rouge Park as a step for- ward in preserving the lands, along with adjoining lands expropriated by the provin- cial government for a companion commu- nity, even if it is a small portion. He applauds the move as having the potential to offer secu- rity to farmers who have been working under month-to-month government leases. “Month-to-month leases don’t allow farm- ers any security in their land, they can’t make investments such as tile drainage or other infrastructure components,” he said. “The long-term leasing idea really hasn’t been done before in Ontario. We see that as really exciting because it’s not only protecting a significant amount of land but also support- ing the farmers and investing in relationships that will allow farming to exist alongside the protection of natural areas.” Mike Whittamore is the current owner of Whittamore’s Farm, located on provincial lands at 8100 Steeles Ave. E. in Markham and part of the provincial lands. He says he is “cau- tiously optimistic” about the new park, which could allow farmers to better focus on busi- ness. “They’re talking 30- to 40-year leases, which would give farmers security, they would be able to invest in the land and have a more long-term view,” he said. “I think agriculture and conservation can live in harmony. It’s a great opportunity to not only talk about conservation but also edu- cate people about agriculture and where their food comes from.” For Mr. Almack, the collaboration is a better alternative to the land staying under its cur- rent government stewardship, but he says it doesn’t go far enough. “We’re all happy to see it preserved, but it shouldn’t be park land,” he said. “Agricultural use should trump park uses.” The OFT hopes creative approaches to agriculture such as that in the new park will encourage people to recognize farmland as a diminishing resource and look at ways to pro- tect it. “I think we have to look at planning agri- culture and conservation together for the sustainability of our communities across the province and otherwise,” he said. “Agricultural preservation is a solution we should be thinking about. We’ve already seen an interest at the local level with the federal lands, while provincially we see the greenbelt cutting through those lands. There is an inter- est in seeing rural lands protected for agricul- ture.” That interest could be spurred by the possi- ble collaboration of farmers and Parks Cana- da. “We are not an agricultural organization, we can’t tell people how to farm, but by working with farmers we can help with public educa- tion, teaching people about the importance of having agricultural lands close to the city,” Ms. Gremier explained. “We see agriculture as part of the fabric of having a national urban park. It’s a new concept for us, something that’s never done before, so there’s no comparable place any- where in the country.” Watch the video story @ durhamregion.com Safeguarding future farmlands SaBRina ByRnES / MEtRolanD PIcKERING -- Lorne almack, a member of Land Over Landings, has been advocating for the Pickering federal lands to be turned into an agricultural trust. his own land in claremont has been converted to a trust to ensure no future development. faSt factS Farmland loss • Only five per cent of Canada’s land is prime agri- cultural land; Canada Land Inventory classes 1 through 3 signify farmland with no significant con- straints for crop production • Only 0.5 per cent of Canada’s land area is Class 1 farmland, the most productive land resource, with 50 per cent of it located in southern Ontario • Combined with southern Ontario’s moderate cli- mate, this land can produce a greater diversity of crops than anywhere else in Canada • Ontario’s agriculture and agri-food industries contribute over $30 billion to the provincial econ- omy annually. • Over the past 30 years, more than two million acres of Ontario farmland has been lost to non- farm developments such as urban expansion and mineral aggregate extraction. We continue to lose more than 100 acres, or one farm, per day. • In the GTA alone, more than 2,000 farms and 150,000 acres of farmland were lost to production between 1976 and 1996 • The amount of farmland in the GTA decreased by 600,000 acres between 1996 and 2006, including 18 per cent of Ontario’s Class 1 farmland • The best land is disappearing the fastest.

The Get Involved campaign is the pub- lic phase of Durham College’s $5 million Growing for our Future fundraising cam- paign to support the new Centre for Food. Being built on the northwest corner of the Whitby campus, the 36,000-square-foot building is designed to accommodate around 900 additional students studying in culinary, hospitality, tourism, agricul- tural and horticulture programs. It’s designed to bring students and com- munity members together to watch the food of Durham grow, from planting the seeds to serving the final dish. Scheduled to open in September 2013, the centre will give students access to a full-service, green-certified teaching res- taurant and lounge; demonstration the- atre; public-viewing kitchens surrounded by glass walls and equipped with the lat- est technology; and state-of-the-art labs, classrooms and meeting spaces. “This comprehensive approach to culi- nary education is absolutely fabulous and I’m happy to support Durham College and the new Centre for Food,” said celeb- rity chef Jamie Kennedy at a kickoff event Thursday night at the college that saw around 150 special guests, and allowed culinary students to show off their skills. Mr. Kennedy, one of Canada’s most crit- ically acclaimed chefs, promotes agricul- ture and advocacy of the local food move- ment, a key element of the Centre for Food. “The Centre for Food has been designed to create a unique learning environment for students, which captures the spirit, innovation and progressiveness of the local food movement,” said Mr. Kennedy. “I know this centre will attract students from across this country as they learn about growing, harvesting and preparing food.” VISIT: durhamcollege.ca/centre-for- food du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 2 12 AP Ω ≠ Ω ≠ DurhamOptometric Clinic Dr. Farook Khanand Associates 62 Harwood Ave. S., Unit 2, Ajax (905)426-1434 1360 Kingston Rd, Ajax (905)831-6870 NEW PATIENTS WELCOME Have you had your eyes checked lately?

Conversely, the 20-year-old goal- tender and native of Victoria, B.C. has developed into that player thanks in large part to the confidence and belief Panthers head coach and general manager Mike Galati has shown in him since he arrived in Pickering. “I’ve played for a few teams, been around the continent a bit, but I am happy with the situation here,” Bacon said after a recent game. “From day one our coach Mike Gala- ti has been my biggest supporter here. From my first practice here he saw what I could do, and it’s been awe- some. I owe a lot to him for his faith in me.” Bacon re-paid a little of the faith over the weekend. After a less than stellar showing in a 5-1 loss to the Whitby Fury Friday night, Bacon rebounded less than 48 hours later, making 42 saves through regulation and overtime and another two in a shootout to lead the Panthers in a 4-3 victory over the always tough Newmarket Hurricanes. Meanwhile, though Bacon’s focus is firmly planted on his efforts with the Panthers, it would be difficult to fault the netminder for looking ahead, even just slightly. Over the summer Bacon received an offer that will see him embark on an NCAA scholarship at Mercyhurst Uni- versity, as he’ll fight for time in the Lakers’ crease in the 2013-14 season. “When I think about it I get butter- flies still,” Bacon said. “I am so excited to go. I can’t wait for the next step.” A scholarship is something that has long intrigued the six-foot-six puck stopper, and after a visit to the campus during the summer, the rest of the pro- cess came together quite quickly. “I had been speaking with them since about January, so we had kept in touch until I went out there for my visit in July. I didn’t think I would get my offer until September or October, but I got a nice little phone call on the day I got back with an offer. It was great. I felt I had a strong year last year, so it felt great to get the commitment,” he said. Much like his experience with Galati and the Panthers, Bacon admits it’s a pretty pleasant feeling to have the peo- ple at Mercyhurst believe in his abili- ties. “I’ve always had my tough times. I’ve played on a lot of teams and been in some unfortunate situations, but I just had to keep battling and I’ve had a lot of strong support from my fam- ily, so with them keeping me in the right direction, that’s all I needed,” he said. “I knew I was good enough to get there, I just had to keep working at it and you’ve got to be at the right place at the right time sometimes to make things happen.” “There were definitely some tears shed,” he added. “It was really good for me and my family. A great moment.” Bacon and the Panthers return to the ice Friday night at home to the Trenton Golden Hawks. The Scoop Friday’s game marks the start of a three-in-three for the Panthers, with games to follow on Sat- urday at home to Wellington and Sunday at the Governors Showcase in Cobourg against Trenton ... Dylan Hutton had the shootout winner against Newmarket, while Robert Lepine had the other. Regulation goals came courtesy Brodie Tutton, Hutton and Lepine to erase a 3-0 Hurricanes lead ... Lepine and Cody Dorian with two assists had multi-point efforts ... Jarret Smith had the lone Panthers goal in the loss to Whitby ... Matt Galati currently sits fifth in league scoring with 16 points, tied with teammate Andrew McCann. > OJHL IMAGES PICKERING -- Spencer Bacon is carrying the workload for the Pickering Panthers so far this season. Next season the Victoria, B.C. native will be off to Mercyhurst on a scholarship. Bacon finds a home One 2 Watch PICKERING -- Matt Galati’s strong start to the Ontario Junior Hockey League season has been recognized. The OJHL announced that the Pickering Panthers forward has been named the Gong- show Gear North-East Conference Player of the Month for September after a high-scoring month that saw him record nine goals and 15 points in nine games played. The four-year OJHL veteran has made an immediate impact during his return to the Panthers, sitting tied for the team lead in scoring, as well as tied for third overall in the OJHL with his 15 points during September. Galati paced the impressive Panthers start to the season by recording nine goals, of which seven came in back-to-back games, scoring all four goals during a 5-4 loss to Whitby and following that up with a hat trick, four-point performance, in an 8-6 win over Stouffville. One of the big reasons for Pick- ering’s early season success was the power play, led by Galati, who notched five of his nine goals with the man advantage to take the early lead among OJHL players. “It is an honour to be recognized as Player of the Month for September,” said the Pan- thers star winger. “Looking back on some of the great players that have won the award over the years, it feels awesome to be recog- nized on the same level as some those guys. “I want to thank the OJHL for their selec- tion, my linemates Andrew McCann and Aiden Wallace, all my teammates, as well as the Pickering Panthers organization, as they’ve been a huge part of my success this month. I’m looking forward to a successful season with this group of guys.” Panthers GM/head coach Mike Galati, the older brother of Matt, discussed his organiza- tion’s pride in the selection, “Matt has been huge for us. He has been a big part of any success we’ve had thus far, scoring big goals, as well as being a leader on and off the ice. He has had a great start to the season and we look forward to many more successful months. The Pickering Panthers are proud to have September’s Player-of-the- Month.” du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 2 15 AP Galati is player of the month OJHL IMAGES PICKERING -- Matt Galati of the Pickering Panthers was named the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Gongshow Gear North- East Conference Player-of-the-Month for September. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP OCTOBER 10TH, 2012 Flyers We dnesday Carrier of the We ek If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

And some clutch goal-scoring. Both elements were on dis- play during a pair of wins at the General Motors Centre over the Thanksgiving weekend, wins that vaulted the Generals to the top of the league standings with a 6-1- 0-0 mark, including a perfect 4-0 standing on home ice. Their most recent victory, Osha- wa’s fifth straight, came on Mon- day when centreman Scott Laugh- ton scored 2:16 into overtime, lift- ing the Generals to a 4-3 victory over the visiting Belleville Bulls. Perhaps the only person happi- er than Laughton was goaltender Daniel Altshuller, who allowed the game-tying goal on an innocent- looking shot from just inside the blue-line off the stick of Hampton native Garrett Hooey with just 23 seconds remaining in regulation. “You know, obviously that’s a goalie’s worst nightmare to let one in in the last minute, especially like that,” Altshuller said, in refer- encing the shot that caromed off his glove and dropped into the net, stunning the 3,854 in atten- dance when a victory looked all but assured. “But at the end of the day I am really happy we were able to win and keep the streak going. The boys battled back.” The battling back actually began at the outset of the third. Down 1-0 after 40 minutes, Oshawa captain Boone Jenner stepped up just 20 seconds into the third, blasting a shot off the rush after he stepped in over the line, beating Malcolm Subban to tie it. Later in the period, from nearly the same spot, defenceman Matt Petgrave provided Oshawa with a short-lived 2-1 lead, depositing his first of the campaign. Belleville notched the equalizer less than a minute later and then with overtime looming, Gener- als rookie Michael Dal Colle took a pass from Laughton and roofed a slick shot up over the glove of Subban to restore the lead for the home side. All looked good from there until Hooey’s goal, his second of the season. But full credit for the Generals, as rather than fold in the face of adversity, they stepped up in over- time and gained the extra point to remain perfect within the friendly confines of the GM Centre. “That’s what good teams do, they find a way to get those wins,” said coach D.J. Smith. “You don’t always deserve them, and I am sure some will go the other way, but at home here we’ve found some chemistry, especially in the third period where we’ve scored most of our goals.” Indeed, that third period has been key. Oshawa scored three times in the final stanza on Monday, four in the third en route to a 6-4 vic- tory over the Kingston Frontenacs on Friday and four in the third one week prior in a win over Bramp- ton. That’s 11 third-period goals in three games for a team that has scored a total of 34 goals in seven games. “The third period here, there is a belief that we can score goals,” Smith said. The belief each player has devel- oped, not only in themselves, but in the person beside them, has been a big reason for that, added the coach. “I think we’ve got a great group of character guys that believe in each other. Whether we’re down or not down, they’ve found a way. I think these guys, they want to prove something to the league,” he said. With a league-leading 12 points, they are certainly doing that as the season moves through its fourth week. Generally Speaking Boone Jenner’s goal Monday gave him 8-8-16 numbers as he continues to lead the OHL in scoring ... Goal-scorers in Fri- day’s win over Kingston were Michael Dal Colle, Scott Sabou- rin, Scott Laughton, Tyler Biggs, Brian Hughes and Adam Lloyd, who was making his season debut against his former team ... Fri- day’s game got rough in the sec- ond with four fights in the first six minutes of the period, and three in span of 1:02. Oshawa has the most fighting majors in the league with 12 ... Daniel Altshuller made 25 saves in Friday’s win and 24 in Monday’s victory ... The Generals return to action Friday at home to the Barrie Colts before heading to Belleville on Saturday and host- ing London on Sunday. > Photo by armando VillanoVa OSHAWA-- Oshawa Generals’ Scott Laughton celebrated an over- time winning goal during an OHL game against the Belleville Bulls on Monday night at the GM Centre. The Generals won 4-3. Dolphins peewees win DURHAM -- The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins football club travelled to Niagara with high expectations after coming off a sweep of the Scarborough Thunder. The Dolphins atoms put forth a great fight but suffered their second loss of the season by a score of 12-9. There were some great defensive plays from defenders Myles Hylton, Jonathan Wieder, Aaron Chung, Kelly McBride, Elijah Trench and Aaron Armitage. On offence, Kelly McBride caught a terrific pass from Aaron Chung but fell short of scor- ing the touchdown in the dying seconds of the game. The Dolphins peewees saved the day with some great offensive and defensive plays in a 30-24 win. The offense would rush for five touch- downs. The defence stepped up its game with some blocks and tack- les. The Dolphins bantam team met up against a formidable opponent. Down 14-0 at the end of the first quarter, the Dolphins came alive in the second when Daniel Davy rushed in two touchdowns, one from a 90-yard run down the mid- dle, then, bolting down the side- lines, cutting the deficit to 21-12 at half. Although the Dolphins had some big plays from defen- sive players Jaiden Cruz, Cameron Tabatabaei and Quintyn Pettiford, the Generals still found a way to get to the Dolphins’ end zone. In the third quarter Daniel Davy added another touchdown. Jaron Nguy- en also rushed in a touchdown for the Dolphins in the fourth quarter. Bailey Grimes rushed for 45 yards from a kick return. The Dolphins comeback effort ended when the Generals rushed in a couple more touchdowns. The final score was 49-28 for the Niagara Generals. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 1 0 , 2 0 1 2 17 AP 95% of our management team began their career in a position like this.
