PCs would cut spending, balance budget, leader tells Ajax, Oshawa audiences KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Province’s finances are a “mess” and the Ontario legislature should be in session, trying to find solutions, Tim Hudak says. The Progressive Conservative leader was in Durham Region Friday, speaking with commuters in Ajax and addressing a lun- cheon meeting of the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. “It’s time for straight talk in Ontario. We’re in a mess, we’re losing jobs. Financially, we’re in a hole,” he said. He said the legislature should be sitting. “We want to get back to work and roll up our sleeves.” In an interview, he noted Premier Dalton McGuinty shouldn’t have prorogued the legislature when he resigned. “McGuinty resigned and closed the place down. That’s wrong. We’re on auto-pilot,” he said. Speaking to about 50 members of the chamber at the Best Western Motel, Mr. Hudak joked about the legislature being prorogued, saying, “Now that we’re into an interesting time, I’m planning to spend the whole afternoon with you because I have nothing else to do.” Jobs and the economy are central to the party’s platform, he noted. “We need change to get the economy back on track,” Mr. Hudak said, adding balancing the provincial budget is key. “You can’t run your business on a credit card. You can’t run your home on a credit card. We can’t run our province on a credit card.” Cutting spending, balancing the books and paying down debt are keys to the par- ty’s plan, he said. “I believe tax cuts create jobs,” he said. People with more money in their pock- ets will spend it, he added, noting, “We’ll cut business taxes so you can buy that new piece of equipment.” Slaying the deficit should be done much sooner, he advocated, saying the current plan of eliminating it by 2017-18 is “unac- ceptable. It’s too long. Ontario should be first. If we’re not first, we should be close to first” in eliminating its deficit. “We’ll be last.” Getting the finances in order is “a signal Ontario is open to investors. “For the first time, Ontario is a have-not province,” he said, noting it’s been receiv- ing equalization payments from previous have-not provinces such as Newfoundland and Saskatchewan. “We know our best days are ahead,” he said, noting Ontario has enthusiastic entre- preneurs, plentiful natural resources, and a “peaceful, stable” society. Low interest rates are helping, but Mr. Hudak said a one-per cent increase would cost the Province $500 million. “That’s 250,000 MRI screenings.” Hudak brings Tory message to Durham RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak was the guest speaker at the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Best Western Hotel on Oct. 26. Mr. Hudak was at the lun- cheon to discuss party ideas and strategies to create jobs. ‘‘You can’t run your business on a credit card. You can’t run your home on a credit card. You can’t run our province on a credit card.’ Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak. >FEATURE: Remembrance Day Each day next week we will feature a video from the winners of our Remembrance Day contest reading their entries: ‘What the poppy means to me.’ Keep your eyes on durhamregion.com for your chance to win a pair of tickets to see Justin Bieber in concert at the Rogers Centre.

New Location!BesideShopper'sDrug Mart Staff writerS newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- As residents of Durham Region awoke Tuesday, they began assessing the damage left by Monday’s storm. Despite the fact that winds hit 87 km/h, the damage in Oshawa was limited. “We were pleasantly surprised with how the night unfolded, we had some wires down and some branches down,” said Oshawa fire chief Steve Meringer. There were three power outages on Mon- day afternoon, each affecting about 1,000 hydro customers, but all were resolved in less than two hours. The biggest call was a house fire on Front Street which may have been caused by can- dles left unattended, said Chief Meringer. The home was in a neighbourhood that had seen a power outage. The home was a loss, but two men survived the fire with one man escaping by shimmying down an anten- na and another jumping off the roof of a porch. “I guess the good news story of all of this is the fact that the two occupants (who) got out of the building was strictly due to work- ing smoke alarms,” said Chief Meringer. With respect to damage in other parts of the city, approximately six large trees went down and Oshawa forestry staff helped hydro workers clear a tree from cables. As well, the north and south fence of the Oshawa Civic Field 5 were also damaged by the wind. Minimal damage was reported in Ajax. “The only reports related to fallen munici- pal trees,” said Christie McLardie, manager of communications for Ajax, noting reports came from Rollo Drive, Cedar Park, Old Harwood Avenue and the woodlot next to the Ajax Convention Centre. “The Town’s forestry (workers) are in the process of responding to each location,” she said. “In addition, staff are currently inspecting the Town’s valley system, Car- ruthers, Millers and Duffins, and checking pedestrian bridge infrastructure.” Veridian Connections staff worked throughout the night, responding to approx- imately 90 calls for outages, damaged trees and broken poles. “I’m very proud of the dedication and safe work displayed by our staff, and satis- fied that our asset and management prac- tices have enabled our distribution system to withstand Hurricane Sandy’s high winds and heavy rainfall,” said president and CEO Michael Angemeer. “It’s times like these that our employees go above and beyond the call of duty, and their efforts are very much appreciated.” Most of Veridian’s outages were small, affecting less than 20 customers. North Pickering and Orono experienced larger outages that affected between 490 and 800 customers. At 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, approxi- mately 490 customers in Orono and 100 in north Pickering were still without power, and crews were working in north Pickering to repair distribution equipment. Veridian said most of its sustained out- ages were being caused by interruptions in the power flow from Hydro One to Veridi- an. Aside from power outages damage in Pickering remained minimal. “Apart from some fallen tree branches we escaped relatively unscathed,” said Mark Guinto, co-ordinator of public affairs for the City of Pickering. “We had crews out all night as a precau- tionary measure so they were able to deal with the fallen branches on scene. We didn’t experience any major damage or flooding.” The City closed the Waterfront Trail as a precaution due to concerns over high winds and tall waves, but Mr. Guinto said staff is currently monitoring weather reports and they expect the trail could reopen as early as Tuesday afternoon.

Do you have a... Police ask for public’s help locating Ajax armed robbery suspect AJAX -- Durham police are asking for the public’s help locat- ing a man who robbed an Ajax bank at gunpoint Sunday. Police say a man wearing a disguise and armed with a handgun robbed a TD Canada Trust branch, 15 Westney Rd. N., at approximately 3:30 p.m. Oct. 28. Several of the bank’s employees and customers were reportedly confronted dur- ing the robbery, in which the suspect jumped a counter and demanded cash. No injuries were reported. Police were unable to locate the suspect, who reportedly fled westbound on foot in the direction of Kingston Road. Police describe the suspect as a 25-year-old black man, approximately five-foot-10, wearing dark clothing and a ban- dana, and carrying a handgun. Anyone with information about the robbery or suspect is asked to contact police at 905-579-1520 extension 5355. Anonymous tips can also be made through Crime Stoppers online at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.com, or by call- ing 1-800-222-8477. Tips leading to an arrest may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. Woman stabbed in Ajax home invasion AJAX -- One woman was taken to hospital with multiple stab wounds after what police are describing as a home invasion robbery Friday evening in Ajax. The robbery, at a Mandrake Street residence at about 6:30 p.m., may be linked to property the homeowner has listed for sale on the Internet, Durham police said. Officers canvassed the neighbourhood after the incident, seeking wit- nesses. Police said two men gained entry to the home under the pretense of buying household items. They stabbed a woman multiple times before fleeing with a quantity of cash, police said. A four-year-old child who was also in the resi- dence wasn’t hurt, police said. The woman was rushed to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries. Cops are on the lookout for two sus- pects, described as white men in their early 20s. Durham cops to host town hall talks DURHAM -- Durham police will host a series of town hall meetings in November, starting Thursday in Scugog, as the regional force starts plotting the community’s needs for the future. The Durham Regional Police Services board will kick off its community consultations on Nov. 1 when the first of three sessions is held in the Rotary Room at the Scugog library, 231 Water St. The meetings will allow Durham residents an opportunity to provide their views on how to improve com- munity safety and service delivery. Police service boards in Ontario are required by law to have multi-year business plans. The November consultations will be used by the Dur- ham force to develop its 2014 to 2016 business plan. A west Durham town hall session will be held on Thurs- day, Nov. 22 in the auditorium at Central Pickering Library, 1 The Esplanade, in Pickering. A third community consultation, the east Durham town hall, is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 27 in the Nonquon Room at the Oshawa Library Northview Branch, 250 Beatrice St. East, in Oshawa. All of the meetings will start at 7 p.m. and are open to the public. police briefs A gala event PICKERING -- Diana Hills- Milligan, gala chairwoman, and Mayor Dave Ryan at the Port Restaurant to promote the Pickering Mayor’s Gala on Nov. 24 at the Pickering Recreation Complex.

Durham’s Dreams and Wishes char- ity brings the wonders of Christmas to youth in the region, those living with their mothers in many of Durham’s shelters. And another shelter is being added to the gift list this year, with Bethesda House in Bowmanville joining Herizon House, Denise House and the Y’s WISH Shelter. The aim of Dreams and Wishes is to pro- vide children with gifts to open on Christ- mas Day, purchased through the generos- ity of Durham residents. Every fall at this time, Dreams and Wishes begins send- ing out pre-written ‘wish lists’ for shelter youth to fill in the blanks with their name, age and the gifts they’d like to receive. Children take their letters to the annu- al breakfast with Santa event hosted by Dreams and Wishes, and volunteers then take over to fill the wish lists. The gifts purchased (or those that are dropped off by donors) are wrapped and delivered to the local shelters and placed under the tree. The effort symbolizes the giving nature of the season, and helps to bring a tiny bit of Christmas magic to children who would otherwise have nothing. Last year, Dreams and Wishes volun- teers filled wish lists for approximately 100 needy children in the region. With the addition of Bethesda House as a recipient shelter this year, even more kids will be able to unwrap some happiness on Dec. 25. But as with any charitable effort, success is best measured in the depth of donors in the community. To that end, we encour- age local school and community groups, workplaces and everyday residents to consider helping a youngster this Christ- mas season, either with cash donations to Dreams and Wishes, or through the pur- chase of age-appropriate gifts. Residents are also invited to adopt a wish list and provide the items included. Remember, too, that no donation is too small to be gratefully accepted. The magic of Christmas is felt most keenly, enjoyed most intensely, by chil- dren. Let’s help them discover, or re-dis- cover, that feeling on Dec. 25. To make a donation, or for more infor- mation, contact Dreams and Wishes at 905-239-WISH, or e-mail dreams-wish- es@rogers.com. Help Christmas dreams and wishes come true in Durham As I write this column after yet another underwhelming storm in Durham -- despite planning for the worst -- thousands of homes in Cuba are still without power and water following the wrath of Hurricane Sandy. Although I was lucky and missed the eye of the storm, I got a good taste of it as I was in Varadero last week. On a bus ride back from Havana Thursday, the storm was brewing. The ocean was angry, sending tides across the roads and flooding the streets. Locals stuck in the rain fruitlessly huddled under umbrellas and family pets ran toward the comfort of home. Back at the resort, the maids worked tirelessly to sweep out water that had snuck its way into the lobby. The hallways were soaked and the power went off and on throughout the night. It was probably the only evening vacationers weren’t sampling the country’s rum and cigars in the disco. Instead, we were holed up in our hotel rooms, hoping and praying that nothing would break and fly through the windows. I had planned to lock myself in the bathroom until the vicious storm was over. Luckily I didn’t resort to that, but my girlfriend had to put her survivor skills to the test. She had hopped off her bed and slipped, with a rude realization that her floor was soaked. Water had seeped into her third-floor room from the outside and her windows were shaking uncontrollably. After pushing her belongings into the bathroom and closet, and a few slips and falls in the pitch-dark hallways, she made her way to the safety of my room. Unfortunately, not everyone made it home in Cuba; 11 people died across the island. Roofs caved in, roads were destroyed and live- stock was lost. In Santiago, mass was held in the street after churches were wiped out. Our tour guide on Saturday said one of the company’s employees had gone fishing for red snapper after the hurricane since they’re abun- dant after such storms. He’s been missing since. It got me thinking how lucky I am to live in Cana- da, where such storms usually dissipate before reaching us. In Oshawa, the college and university were closed at the north campus Tuesday due to a watermain break after the storm hit us Monday night. There were no human casualties in Dur- ham, and maybe a few thousand homes lost power. I’ll take that. -- Kristen Calis is the education reporter with the Metroland’s Durham Region Media Group The wind in my hair: surviving a hurricane Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 1 , 2 0 1 2 6 AP du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Tim Whittaker - Publisher • Joanne Burghardt - Editor-in-Chief • Mike Johnston - Managing Editor • Duncan Fletcher - Director of Advertising Eddie Kolodziejcak - Classifi ed Advertising Manager • Abe Fakhourie - Distribution Manager • Lillian Hook - Offi ce Manager • Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager OpinionsEditorial A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

All content copyright Opinions I had a moment the other day when, for the first time in a long while, I genuinely wondered if we as a society weren’t badly off the rails. I had driven the dogs out to a greenspace nearby where there are some nice trails for hiking. It’s a favourite of local dog walkers and also, apparently, part of a fitness run route for a nearby public school. On this day, I had to sit in the car with the dogs as a whack of elementary-aged kids were already in the middle of their run. Well, ‘run’ is perhaps a misnomer. They were in the middle of their ‘walk’ would be more apt. The dogs were beside themselves. They couldn’t understand why we were staying in the car when there were a couple of hundred brightly dressed, slow-moving targets out there. Heck, some of them were even stopped, breath- ing hard and covered in kid sweat. Virtual dog-sicles. I was gobsmacked too, but for very different rea- sons. It’s been a few decades since I was anything close to a kid, but I couldn’t help but think that things had changed a great deal since then, and not neces- sarily for the better. For starters, a staggering number of these chil- dren appeared overweight. I’m not exaggerat- ing. I sat there in the car for 15 or 20 min- utes and watched dozens of kids appear from a trail in the bush on my left and then proceed to do a long circuit around the ball diamond outfield before heading past their teacher and on back to the school. Easily 50 per cent of them were heavier than they should’ve been. Worse, a far greater number were just plain out of shape. A handful, and I mean literally a dozen or so, of the hundred or more kids that I witnessed, were actually running continuously and doing so with the ease and grace one would expect of young children. The bulk of the group was walking. Some, in response to the encouragement of the lone teacher present, would begin a half-heart- ed, short-lived trot. Inevitably though, this quickly broke down into a walk or came to a complete stand-still, while, red-faced and gasping like strand- ed guppies, they attempted to get their breath back. I’m not here to judge anybody. A body type is a body type and God knows as the years pass I find myself looking less like Pop- eye and more like Wimpy, but what I was witnessing is what I believe is known as an ‘epidemic’. There’s something rotten in Denmark, folks. I don’t mean to say kids of my generation were all Kenyan marathoners, but we could certainly run around a field a few times without risking tachycardia. And yes, there were over- weight children back then too, but not in these numbers. Is the difference that we had three television channels, no video games, no Internet and parents who pushed us out the door? Maybe. Neither did we have a corner on the creativity market. My chief memory of sum- mer vacations was boredom punctuated by the odd pickup football game and shoplifting at the smoke shop. But even when we were idling, we were walk- ing or riding our bikes. Not to mention sprinting down the street with a stolen pack of Good N’ Plenty down the front of our pants. We were never sedentary for any longer than it took a grown-up to boot us out of the living room. That seems to have changed. Our children have dozens of elec- tronic diversions that can keep them wast- ing away on their ever-widening behinds and it’s tempting, from a parental point of view, to turn a blind eye to it all. Parenting is easy when they’re in the basement all day in front of a screen. But we do our kids a huge disservice by not unplugging them more often, getting in their face as least as much as Super Mario Bros and, most important of all, model- ling an active lifestyle for them. So get out and walk, play, ride and run with your kids. Just keep the Good N’ Plenty in the back pockets. The front chafes like hell. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Times sure do change, waist sizes too...

Especially when one day you go in a store and something is one price, you go a week later and it’s marked up. The same exact product, no enhancements. It’s stupid.

More than 250 trees and bushes planted during Take Pride in Pickering Day Tara HaTHerly thatherly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Almost 200 people turned up to show their pride in Pickering Oct. 13. Take Pride in Pickering Day, host- ed by Ontario Power Generation twice annually for the last 12 years, saw members of the community plant more than 250 native trees and bushes at Alex Robertson Park. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan and Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson were among those who came out to support the event, along with Sean Granville, deputy site vice-president of Pickering’s nuclear plant, and Keith Falconer, Pickering East Shore Community Association president and OPG employee. Many community organizations took part in the initiative, including the City of Pickering, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Air Cadets, Scouts, Girl Guides, Durham Medvents and Environmental Stew- ardship Pickering. Along with providing valuable wild- life resources, participants enjoyed great weather and an appreciation barbecue. Together with community vol- unteers, OPG has planted more than 11,500 native trees and shrubs through Take Pride in Pickering Day’s bi-annual events. The initiative has also seen more than 500 native wildflowers planted, an ephemeral pond built for turtles and amphibians, and a snake hiber- naculum, bat box and 35 songbird boxes installed at Alex Robertson Park, as well as several no-grass-cut- ting zones established.

In Pickering, ghosts make a pretty good argument. On Salem Road, north of Taunton Road, there are stories people tell -- stories of phantom men and dogs, untimely deaths and restless spirts. Just south of Hwy. 7 lies Salem Cemetery and Salem Church. Many stories come from here. Accompanied by paranormal investi- gators from Whitby-based South Central Ontario Paranormal Enthusiasts, I headed for the area one night recently. In the ghost-hunting world, there’s a theory that cemeteries are not haunted. Ghosts are believed to haunt the places where their human counterparts lived, loved or worked, not where their earthly bodies lie. For this reason, some people have written off reports of hauntings at Salem Cemetery. What those people aren’t considering is Salem Cemetery wasn’t a lonely, isolated place. In the 1800s, the cemetery and church were located in the heart of a close-knit, God-fearing Method- ist community where many people lived. Before that, the land, like all in Durham, was used by Native peoples. The drive up Salem Road to the cem- etery is dark and eerie. When you final- ly arrive at the graveyard, it feels like you have landed in a forgotten era preserved in time. Exquisitely haphazard tombstones line both sides of the road, both protrud- ing to the sky above and crumbling to the ground below. The ground has overgrown some gravestones, leaving barely-visible and illegible reminders of lives lived and lost. The air is still and thick. As we navigate the graves, looking for signs of life beyond our own, investiga- tors Chris Goring and Chris Boneless use a thermal imaging camera and electro- magnetic frequency detector to take tem- perature and electricity readings, based on theories the paranormal creates electrici- ty and heat. They also snap photos with a full-spectrum camera, which takes photos of different light spectrums, based on the- ories ghosts can be seen in ultraviolet or infrared light. While we analyze the area, we use digital audio recorders to see if we can catch any messages from the dead. Suddenly, the fresh battery in my digital recorder dies, without warning. I stop with a shudder and relay this to the investiga- tors, who tell me “battery drain” is thought to be caused by ghosts trying to make themselves visible to humans. The theory is ghosts need electricity to manifest. I push aside my uneasiness, and we con- tinue the investigation. Outside in the dark, your eyes will play tricks on you. I can’t say for sure what I saw or didn’t see in Salem Cemetery, but I can tell you I hope I don’t see it again. I witnessed a small, black, unfamiliar shape float smoothly along the ground from one gravestone to another. Years ago, in the exact same spot, Mr. Goring and another investigator documented a similar, more intense, sighting. Not much else of note happened at the time, but our most significant evidence was yet to come. While studying the audio I recorded, I kept an ear out for anything unusual in the hopes I caught an EVP, electronic voice phenomena, or more simply -- a paranor- mal voice. After going through most of my record- ings, I gave up hope of catching anything. Then it hit me like a sheet of ice. Dur- ing a silent break when no one is talking, there’s a voice. The voice is clearly that of a man, but it’s unclear what he’s saying. A few minutes later, another voice is heard. The second voice is louder than the first, but its message less clear. After isolating and examining the voices using a program that shows audio wavelengths, and cross- referencing the audio with their own, the investigators confirmed what I was scared of -- the voices are paranormal. The audio clips will soon be available online for public analysis at www.scope- online.ca, along with other EVPs SCOPE has captured, including two previous clips from Salem Cemetery containing clear messages -- “he’s right in front of you,” and, “I’d walk away.” I’ve never believed in ghosts, but I cer- tainly found more questions than answers in Salem Cemetery.

The 17 year old helped the Pickering Panthers snap a seven-game losing streak, doubling the Kingston Voyageurs 4-2 at the Pickering Recreation Complex. It was the first start of the season for Sharp, who has watched from the bench as Spencer Bacon was in goal for 18 straight opening faceoffs. “It was an awesome feeling to get in the net and pick up the victory against one of the best teams,” said Sharp, a Markham resident, after the game. “It’s a surreal feeling.” Sharp was just that, stopping 32 of 34 shots fired his way on the night, and was particularly sharp early in the third peri- od of a 2-2 tie, including stopping David Quesnelle on a breakaway with a quick glove hand while the Panthers were on a power play. He faced another breakaway just five minutes later, but a shot by Lud- low Harris rang off the crossbar behind him. Good to be lucky; lucky to be good. Pick either one. GM/head coach Mike Galati used another word to describe the play of Sharp. “He was massive for us,” said Galati. “He’s been working hard and the coach- ing staff have seen him get better and bet- ter every practice. “(Bacon) needed a rest so we thought we would give (Sharp) a shot tonight. It was a good choice.” After a scoreless opening period, Kings- ton opened the scoring on the power play in the second, but Pickering’s Tanner Bull walked out from the corner and snapped a shot past netminder Brendan O’Neil to tie it. Brodie Tutton put the Panthers up by one when he converted a shot from the high slot, but Kingston answered back with under two minutes to go in the sec- ond period, making good on a two on one break. Andrew McCann deflected a pass into the net just past the midway mark of the third period to regain the lead for Pickering, and Robert Lepine wired a wrist shot from just inside the blue-line with 1:01 remaining in the game for a two-goal cushion. For Sharp, it was a relief to contribute and feel like part of the team. “You learn a lot in practice, but it’s a bit- tersweet feeling because you are with the guys but you aren’t a part of it. Sticking with it was the best thing. “Just playing was a contribution. Get- ting the win is even better.” Even with the string of losses that dated back to Oct. 12, Galati never doubted his team’s work ethic, pointing out that two of the losses came in a shootout. “We’re working hard and we finally got rewarded for it. It feels great,” to win, he said. “It’s a great group of kids and they deserve it.” THE SCOOP Sunday’s win wiped out the memory of Friday’s 7-5 home ice loss to Stouffville. The Panthers were down 6-1 with five minutes to go in the sec- ond ... A scout from the Edmonton Oilers was signed in for Sunday’s game ... The Panthers take a 6-11-2 record into weekend games when they host Whitby on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and travel to Wellington on Sunday night followed by a trip to Cobourg on Monday. >Sharp performance PHOTO BY ARMANDO VILLAVONA PICKERING-- Pickering Panthers’ Jeff Heard, centre, reached for the puck in between Stouffville Spirit’s Dylan Savory, right, and Nathanael Halbert, left, on Friday during an Ontario Junior Hockey League game.

That game will be played at Oshawa’s Civic Fields at 3 p.m. Wilson enters the playoffs off a 5-1 regular season, capped last week with a convincing 34-14 victory over Dwyer, and coach Adam Papadakos feels quite good about his team’s standing as defence of their 2011 title contin- ues. He has been around long enough, however, to know that even though Wilson opens the playoffs as proverbial favourites, nothing is guaranteed once the games kick off. “We had a well-balanced attack (last Thurs- day) and played well defensively, so that’s a great way to go into the playoffs,” Papadakos said, whose team’s 23-man roster is a solid mix of returning players from last year’s run and others who have moved up from the junior ranks. “But as I’ve said all season long, it’s a toss up. Any one of the four tier I teams could take this title home.” That includes Pickering, who finished win- less in six regular season outings. And while he knows his team will be in tough, Trojans coach Cam Lee has his club, which is playing with just 21 players, believ- ing in the same thing. “My mind-set is honestly that these guys can win any game they want if they decide they want to put the effort forward,” Lee said last week after the club’s season-ending 28-8 loss to Holy Trinity. “Our issue right now is we have 21 people so we’ve got a bunch of guys going both ways. I honestly believe of all the four teams, every one is beatable in any game and with this group I see here, it’s possible.” Over in Courtice, it may not be the same David versus Goliath battle between the Titans and Saints, but Dwyer, who finished the year 3-3 in their return to the tier I loop, knows it will be in tough against a seasoned Titans outfit than went 4-2 and owned the distinction of being the lone team to beat the front-running Gators. 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 3 1 , 2 0 1 2 14 AP 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 3 1 , 2 0 1 2 15 AP WIN A $200 GIFT CARD FROM We ’ll publish selected recipes in our 14th Annual Christmas in your Community edition, Thursday November 29, 2012 along with the winner.

Those were his sentiments Sunday afternoon following a 3-2 shootout loss to the Peter- borough Petes at the General Motors Centre, a game where the Generals controlled a major- ity of the play but in the end just couldn’t generate enough offence to win. To that effect, says Smith, it was much like their previous outing less than 48 hours prior against the Saginaw Spirit, also a 3-2 loss but in regulation. “I think it’s almost a repeat of the last game. I think we out- chanced them, but we made a couple of mistakes and they end up in our net and our power play was very average,” he said of Sunday’s game. “Every mistake we make right now seems to be going in our net.” Captain Boone Jenner can’t reasonably be expected to do any more than he has for the club to this point, playing a dynamic two-way game, one that has him sitting second in league scor- ing with 11-12-23 totals in 16 games and heading an offence that, despite their outage on the weekend, still leads the Eastern Conference in goals scored. That number is sure to change soon unless some others step up. “Boone, I don’t know how much better he can play or how much harder he can play. You’ve just got to hope some other guys follow his lead,” Smith says of his captain. “We’ve got some big guys on this team that need to play a lot better if they want to go on and play at the next level. Just com- ing out here and being average is not enough.” The highest scoring forwards in the lineup after Jenner include Tyler Biggs with 13 points, Scott Sabourin with 10 and rook- ie Michael Dal Colle with nine points. The Petes and Generals meet again this week, playing Thurs- day night in Peterborough at the Memorial Centre. Friday night the Generals (9-5-0-2) visit Guelph (10-4-0-1) and Sunday they will host Kingston (6-8-0-0) at 6:05 p.m. Lightning extend winning streak to five games Outscore opposition 12-2 in weekend games Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The anticipated result of a Durham West Lightning game against the Whitby Wolves is a low- scoring, tight affair. Apparently the Lightning didn’t get the message. In the most recent battle of the geographic rivals, it was all Light- ning, racking up an 8-1 win on home ice at the Ajax Community Centre on Saturday night in a Pro- vincial Women’s Hockey League game. Despite enjoying every minute it, coach Wayne McDonald was also caught by surprise. “We played as good as we could play,” he said. “Emotionally, every- thing, we were ready for the game and it’s one of those games, even the shots were fairly one-sided. “Most of our goals were real good goals, but there’s no question, when you win 8-1 there is some luck involved and some bounces and we got them, but we played well.” Kennedy Marchment was the top point getter with four, scoring twice and adding two assists. Laura Hor- wood also had a pair of goals, with one each to Dakota Waites, Steph- anie Cooper, Michele Knecht and Brittany St. James. The Lightning had a 1-0 lead after the first period, extending it to 5-0 through two. On the shot clock, the Lightning fired 37, while goaltender Jack- ie Rochefort stopped 12 of the 13 directed her way by Whitby. The following afternoon host- ing Cambridge, the Lightning were a little flat, but still managed a 4-1 victory, running their winning streak to five games. Horwood scored twice, while Cooper and Lindsay Johnston tal- lied once each. McDonald credit- ed Kassidy Sauve with playing well in goal, facing 18 shots to earn the win. The recent run has improved the Lightning to 7-2-0 on the season and moved them into second place in the 20-team league. “We believe one of our strengths is that we are deep. We’ve got 17 strong players,” said McDonald of the reason behind his team’s suc- cess. “We think we can play with anyone. I don’t know if the girls realize it, but I recognize it. But I tell them all the time, don’t get too high and don’t get too low.” That advice will be front and cen- tre on Saturday when the Lightning pays a return visit to Whitby. “That will be a challenge because there is no way (Whitby) will be happy with that result,” noted McDonald. THE SCOOP The early season success has landed a number of Lightning players in the midst of the league leaders. Among the scor- ing leaders, Kennedy Marchment (9-4- 13), Laura Horwood (5-8-13), Carly Marchment (5-6-11) and Dakota Wait- es (1-10-11) are in the top-10. Jackie Rochefort is second among goalies with a 1.00 average and .925 save per- centage, while Kassidy Sauve is 10th with 1.81 and .920 numbers ... Sunday’s home game against Mississauga has been moved to Tuesday, Nov. 27 to allow players from both teams to participate in the National Women’s U18 Cham- pionships in British Columbia. Missis- sauga has six players involved, while the Lightning’s Horwood and Sauve will be taking part. Players will be placed on one of two teams representing Ontario. The championships run from Nov. 7-11 in Dawson Creek.
