Grade 6 students
at Altona Forest
Public School
collect hundreds
of soccer items
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Cleats, shin pads, jerseys
and just about all the items a soccer play-
er needs to play the game filled the hallway
at Altona Forest Public School Wednesday
as students packed them up for children in
need.
As part of their character education, Paula
Mbonda’s Grade 6 class chose to collect
soccer gear for Sec-
ond Kicks, a non-
profit charitable
organization that
collects and dis-
tributes used soc-
cer uniforms and equipment to needy com-
munities in Canada and around the world.
Last year Altona Forest principal Marga-
ret Lazarus began asking each class to think
of different ways to give back to the com-
munity and show empathy, responsibility
and kindness.
This year, this group of students took it a
step further by holding an assembly in the
school’s gym so all of the students could get
involved, and by advertising their mission
to other Pickering schools.
“They really, really like helping,” said Ms.
Lazarus. “I think we need to provide kids
with more opportunities to help others.”
The students were able to get eight other
schools fully on board, ending up in just
two weeks with much more equipment
than they had expected.
“You could almost say you could outfit a
league,” said Ms. Mbonda, attempting to
gauge the amount collected.
She gives the students the credit.
“It was honestly their idea,” she said.
“They recognized (organized sports are)
what’s important to them.”
Ryan Gillis, 11, feels lucky to have sports
in his life, and hopes the donations make
the kids feel “supported and happy.
“Sports is important to me because I make
more friends and have physical activity to
do,” he said.
Madison Hale, 11, feels for the children in
needy countries who don’t have the money
to get involved in sports.
“If we don’t help other kids then they may
feel they’re not anything to anybody else,”
she said.
She felt the project wouldn’t only benefit
the children receiving the equipment, but
the givers too.
“I think it will build on our strengths to
help other kids,” she said.

AJAX -- Three males were arrested and charged
with weapons and drug-related offences after a
high-risk takedown in Ajax Nov. 20.
A weapons investigation by members of Dur-
ham police’s guns and gangs unit led officers to
an Ajax residence, resulting in the arrests.
One of the males reportedly fled the scene in
a vehicle, forcing officers to follow and initiate a
high-risk arrest. After stopping the vehicle and
arresting its occupant, police found a 12-gauge
shotgun and marijuana inside. Police believe the
marijuana was being used for trafficking.
Police would not disclose the location of the
residence involved in the investigation, citing
the sensitive nature of guns and gangs investiga-
tions.
“Obviously there’s some issue with the guns
and gangs stuff,” said Dave Selby, director of cor-
porate communications for Durham Regional
Police. “They want to be extra careful.”
Following the investigation, 19-year-old Calum
McCarthy, of Zator Avenue in Pickering, was
charged with numerous firearm-related offenc-
es, as well as possession of marijuana for the pur-
pose of trafficking. Mr. McCarthy was held in cus-
tody pending a bail hearing.
Also charged is 20-year-old Suleman Hussain,
of Rushbrooke Way in Ajax. Mr. Hussain faces
numerous charges, including weapons and mar-
ijuana trafficking. He was also held in custody
pending a bail hearing.
A third, unnamed male was charged with a
minor drug offence.
Anyone with information related to this investi-
gation is asked to contact police at 905-579-1520
extension 5800. Anonymous tips can be made
through Crime Stoppers online at www.durham-
regionalcrimestoppers.ca, or by calling 1-888-
222-8477. Tips leading to an arrest may be eligi-
ble for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

Youth pointed gun
at officer, SIU finds
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- A civilian oversight agen-
cy has cleared a Durham police officer of
any criminal wrongdoing in the shooting
last summer of a teenaged robbery sus-
pect.
The officer, who wasn’t named, was jus-
tified in using force when confronted by
a suspect who pointed a gun at him, Spe-
cial Investigations Unit director Ian Scott
concluded in a report released Monday.
“(The officer) reasonably believed that
he was in imminent danger of death or
grievous bodily harm when the suspect-
ed robber began raising what appeared to
be a handgun in his direction,” the report
said.
The SIU is an arm’s length agency that
investigates incidents involving police
that result in death, serious injury or alle-
gations of sexual assault.
The incident unfolded early on the
morning of July 16 when a suspect
robbed a Kingston Road veterinary clinic
at gunpoint. Durham cops responding to
a report of an armed robbery in progress
converged on the area and the subject
officer confronted the 17-year-old sus-
pect near the clinic.
When the officer drew his gun and
ordered the suspect to stop, the youth
pulled what appeared to be a gun out of
his pocket and pointed it at the officer,
the SIU report said.
The cop fired his gun eight times, strik-
ing the youth twice. The suspect was
rushed to hospital and survived.
The weapon the youth carried was
found to be a cheap cap gun that had the
fluorescent orange muzzle plug removed,
the SIU found. But that didn’t change Mr.
Scott’s finding.
“The fact that the firearm turned out to
be an imitation does not affect the anal-
ysis,” he wrote. “The officer had an hon-
est and reasonably held belief that he was
being threatened by a real firearm at the
material time.”
The youth, whose name is protected
under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has
since pleaded guilty to robbery with an
imitation weapon. During a court appear-
ance in October it was revealed that the
youth, who has struggled with mental
health issues, was intent on committing
suicide when he committed the robbery.
The youth demanded euthanasia drugs
from a worker at the clinic but was pro-
vided with vials of ampicillin sodium, an
antibiotic, court heard.
He was confronted by police soon after
leaving the clinic.
The youth has been ordered to under-
go a psychiatric assessment prior to sen-
tencing. At his hearing in October, Ontar-
io Court Justice Mary Teresa Devlin noted
it’s unlikely the teen will be given time in
custody.

Wa nda Leach is the first to admit that
Lakeridge Health has a culture that opens
opportunities to people with disabilities and
other impediments to employment.
As Senior Director of Human Resources
and Workforce Strategy at the hospital, she
is part of a team that takes a pro-active
approach to being an accessible employer.
Matt Cannon, who has worked at the
hospital for six years, has benefitted from
the opportunity he received when he started
as a job shadower in the engineering
department. It was clear that he wanted
to work and it wasn’t long before he won
a part-time job with the Environmental
Services department. Now he’s full time at
the hospital.
Lakeridge Health has been nominated a
number of times for its efforts to remove
barriers to employment and was an
EmployABILITY Award winner at the 2008
EmployABILITY Gala hosted by Durham
Region Employment Network (DREN).
“We reduce barriers to employment.We dowhat we can. It’s our culture,” Ms. Leach
said.
While Matt enjoys his job and loves beingpart of a team, the hospital has also gained
from the employment relationship.
“It has benefitted us. The impact is in
patient care. Everyone here has an impact
on patient care. Matt now does patient
transport for the lab. He’s an enabler,” she
said.
Matt’s positive outlook has spread among
his co-workers.“We ’re here for the patients
and their families. He just gets that. He goes
the extra step.”
“We’ve been well served by having Matt,”
she said.
“We reduce barriers to
employment.We do what
we can. It’s our culture.”

Police probe possible
alcohol links in two
serious crashes
DURHAM -- Durham police charged
another 23 motorists with drinking and
driving offences during the second week of
the Festive RIDE campaign, bringing this
year’s total to 46.
Officers stopped more than 1,500 vehicles
at checkpoints in communities through-
out the region during the week, demand-
ing 65 roadside breath tests. In addition to
those charged with drunk driving offences,
another 17 motorists were given three-day
licence suspensions for registering a warn-
ing, police said.
Cops also charged five young drivers with
breaching the no-alcohol provision of their
licences, and laid five drug charges during
the week.
Police also continue to investigate two
weekend accidents that may have involved
alcohol.
In the first incident, a 42-year-old man
was seriously hurt when his vehicle veered
off Oxford Street in Oshawa and hit a tree
just before 3 a.m. Saturday. The driver was
fleeing the scene of an earlier accident,
police said. A female passenger was also
injured.
Also early Saturday, a 22-year-old Oshawa
man died after the car in which he was a
passenger spun out of control on Colonel
Sam Drive in south Oshawa and struck a
tree in the median.
The driver of the car, a 25-year-old Beth-
any man, remains in hospital with serious
injuries. Police said alcohol and speed may
be factors in the collision and an investiga-
tion continues.
Passersby stopped to help an officer free
the occupants of the car, which burst into
flames, police said.

Passport application another sign of growing up
I’m growing up.
At least I think I am and I got another marker along that road
last week when I finally applied for my first Canadian pass-
port.
The process was a long one and I can’t remember being so ner-
vous about something I was filling out for the government.
I kept hearing everyone tell me how exact you had to be on the
forms, forms we had picked up months in advance.
Don’t go outside the lines, make sure all the areas have signa-
tures, make sure the guarantor signs the photos. It seemed like a
million things to remember and knowing people usually exag-
gerate a difficult situation, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
They all were right. The forms
were a little overwhelming and
took a few months to fill out, sit-
ting at the table one hour at a time.
Health card numbers, Canadian
citizenship numbers, height, weight,
it all took a while for a busy family to
compile.
Then the photos, taken exactly right,
with everyone wearing the right-coloured
clothes.
My wife wore a white top the first time
and was told that wasn’t correct. So a second trip to the photog-
rapher was required.
Then finally all the paperwork and photos were ready, except
my oldest son, away at university, had not signed inside the box
which is the signature that would appear on the passport.
A quick trip to my dad’s house, as someone with a passport who
has known me, my wife and kids all our lives, he was allowed to
be the guarantor. He carefully filled in all his information and I
made my way to the passport office in the Whitby mall last Fri-
day.
I don’t know why, but I was nervous walking in there. Was
everything filled in right? Did I have the right forms?
It turns out I did and the woman who helped customer D5632
was very polite and accommodating. She didn’t notice my
twitching leg as she went over every line item on the application,
asking a few questions then making some notes.
I paid and 45 minutes later I was out of there and on my way
over to the variety store to buy some chocolate as a reward for
myself. The passports should arrive in two weeks. Now I just
need to find some place to go with my new shiny passport.
My wife turns 50 in a few years; maybe we’ll need them then.
-- Managing editor Mike Johnston can’t
remember the last time he was so nervous.
Getting behind Durham’s
Grandview Children’s Centre
Even while bursting at the seams in antici-
pation of a long-awaited expansion approv-
al from the Province, Durham Region’s
Grandview Children’s Centre is doing its
best to serve special needs children.
Officials at Grandview, which provides a
wide spectrum of programs and services for
children and youth with physical and men-
tal challenges, succeeded last week in hav-
ing the weight of Durham Regional Council
thrown behind its ongoing quest for a larger
facility to serve the region.
Grandview provides speech and language
therapy, physiotherapy and occupational
therapy for children up to 19 years of age
with physical, developmental or commu-
nication impairment. It currently serves
some 4,500 children and youth across Dur-
ham Region annually, with 1,000 more on a
growing waiting list.
The success stories that emerge from
Grandview are plentiful; children and youth
across the region have benefited in myriad
ways over the years as a direct consequence
of Grandview’s intervention in young lives.
Officials have quietly and patiently waited
since their original 2009 proposal for a big-
ger, better facility to serve Durham Region
residents, at an estimated cost of $42 mil-
lion. And given the current fiscal limita-
tions being faced by the provincial govern-
ment -- it is still struggling with huge defi-
cits -- Grandview officials have vowed to
work to reduce that financial burden and
undertake local fundraisers with the money
earmarked for expansion to create a more
affordable plan.
But few could reasonably argue that
Grandview isn’t in dire need of assistance
if is to continue adequately serving Dur-
ham Region residents. Every dollar spent
on programs and services at Grandview
saves other health care dollars in Durham,
according to executive director Lorraine
Sunsrum-Mann. And Grandview’s pres-
ence here at home -- even with its daunting
waiting lists -- means fewer trips to Toronto
for residents with special needs.
However Durham Region, in supporting
Grandview, can do much more than pro-
vide moral support. Short of providing a
portion of funding for the expansion (which
would be helpful), Durham can use its
considerable clout to breathe new life into
expansion discussions with the Province,
and help the organization monitor its pro-
posal and keep it on government agendas.
There is no dispute that Grandview has
outgrown its current facility, built in 1983
to serve 400 children. Durham Region, its
residents, and those who know the special
impact Grandview has had on young lives
can help keep the pressure on and the dis-
cussion ongoing. Children and youth in

ing less.

Opinions
Walk down the breakfast cereal aisle in your local grocery
store and you’ll see boxes crammed with fibre, nutrients, eight
essential vitamins and just about anything ‘new’ they can think
of to get you to swallow the stuff.
What you won’t find much of, however, is integrity. In the
frenzied rush to jump on whichever consumer band-
wagon seems to be carrying the most cash, cereals and
their manufacturers are changing their look, content
and brand so often it’s impossible to keep up.
For instance, it’s no longer enough to simply be
Cheerios anymore. Now we need multi-grain
Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Apple Cinna-
mon Cheerios.
Boxes covered with horrible words like soy, glu-
ten-free and low fat are crowding out the once plen-
tiful cartoon characters.
Where are the leprechauns, cowboys, tigers and
cuckoo birds proffering heaping bowls of
wonderfully artificially flavoured and col-
ored goodies? Where is red dye No. 2?
Where is the sugar? Gone. Pushed
aside. Swept away by mountains
of colon-cleansing fibre and psyl-
lium. We are no longer promised
toys and prizes inside our cereal
boxes, but longevity. What kind
of a trade is that?
Only one individual remains
steadfastly old school in the
midst of this wholesale, nutri-
tious mutiny: The Captain.
Captain Crunch is still the
same as it has always been. It
is still laden with real sugar. It
still cuts the roof of your mouth.
It still beckons you to hold the
bowl to your lips and happily slurp
the sweet leftover milk when the last ker-
nel is gone.
The Captain is who he is and makes no
apology. He doesn’t pander or worry
about focus groups or health trends.
If it’s fibre you want, grins the Cap-
tain, eat the box. He has ridden out more marketing storms
than you can imagine. He has watched as year after year more
and more of his breakfast confederates jump ship to become
healthy alternatives to their former tasty selves.
And yet the Captain does not judge. He stands confidently
at the sweet helm of chemically enhanced flavour and
welcomes all aboard. Give me your hungry, your
snack-deprived, your hung-over, he seems to say.
Like any real sailor the Captain knows that the seas
of life can get rough occasionally. And at those
times fibre is of no help. Iron will only sink
you. And niacin is only a word.
What you need at those moments is a cargo
of yummy. When you’re down and out, when your
job’s a drag and your girlfriend has dumped you,
when you’re a little tired of being a grown up and
you’d give just about anything to sit and watch
Walt Disney again on a Sunday afternoon
... the Captain will be there for you.
He and his never-soggy payload
of goodness will happily float you
right back to a simpler time: A
time of Saturday morning car-
toons, comic books, hot dogs and
homogenized milk. Think you’d
get a similar deal from a box of
Colon Blow, or Cardio Puffs or
Kale Away?
Think again.
Along with their list of
nutritional daily percentages and
Health Canada stats, each and
every one of those packages car-
ries a very distinct and pointedly terrify-
ing message; ‘You’re getting old ... quick,
eat me.’ Not so, the Captain. The Captain
reminds us with every bowlful of what
the kid inside us has never forgotten; if
you’re not having fun, what’s the point?
-- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor,
comic, writer, saves some of his
best lines for this column. du

On ‘deadbeat’ dads:
Drives me crazy to know that some DEADBEAT fathers hide income to play the faulty court system. Therefore, honest taxpayers’ money(social services) pay to support their children. Some of these deadbeats go on spending money on vacations, lcbo, girlfriends..etc and their kids suffer! I truly blame the court system!

“We want people to have a comfort level with the
project, to know we’re listening and at the end of
the day we hope they’ll be pleased with the project,”
said Arnold Mostert, co-ordinator of landscape,
parks and development for the City, noting the har-
bour project is aimed at creating a safe harbour
entrance.
“The entrance is listed as
a navigational hazard now
and we don’t want people
saying they don’t want to
stop in Pickering because
it’s not safe. The key is
providing a safe harbour
entrance.”
The project was wel-
comed by resident Bernie Luttmer, owner of Swan’s
Yacht Sales and a resident of the area for 45 years.
“I think it will be tremendous and a huge benefit
to the city from an economic perspective, it’s not
just for boaters,” he said.
“Boaters will get attracted to the area and when
they leave, they’ll sail into another port somewhere
and say ‘we sailed into Pickering and it was beauti-
ful’. This entrance will be a feeder for existing busi-
nesses and an incentive for new businesses to come
here and prosper.”
Fellow resident Simon Gardener agreed.
“It’s good, it’ll benefit the bay and benefit
Pickering,” he said. “It’s a positive approach.”
Debbie Hogg, a resident of the West Shore neigh-
bourhood, said she had mixed feelings about the
harbour project. “Making some improvements
would be good, but do we really need the stuff
they’re proposing?” she said, noting her main
concerns were with the project’s environmental
impact.
“The environmental assessment was done in
2009 and would have expired this year. I’m wonder-
ing if it’s still pertinent to the environment in terms
of species that have moved
in since then. I’m concerned
about migratory birds and the
species of animals that use the
spit now. If the end product
is something positive, I can’t
really say this is a bad thing,
but I think there are a lot of
people who don’t want huge
amounts of concrete down
there.”
Fellow resident Laurence Cudlip came out to the
meeting to learn more about the project, and said
he was pleased with the amount of information and
the planned updates, which will be sent to residents
monthly.
“Most of this information is fairly recent so it’s nice
to see some visuals,” he said, noting that the display
boards showed him the planned pier wasn’t as long
as he feared, though he still had some reservations.
“I’m not convinced it’s completely necessary, I
think they’re catering to a small group of users, but
I’m not completely against it. I think there’s been an
uptick in disclosure and commentary on the project
that was lacking before and that’s good, more dis-
cussion is always useful.”

‘‘ This tipi feels like a living being. It’s a
very organic structure and will help to
bring learning alive for visiting students.’
Cathy Galberg
JENNIFER WALKER
jwalker@durhamregion.com
UXBRIDGE -- Learning about First Nations, Métis and
Inuit people and culture will now be available to stu-
dents on a whole new level after a 30-foot tipi has been
erected as an outdoor learning facility at the Durham
Forest Outdoor Environmental Education Centre.
On Wednesday Nov. 14, Kim Wheatley, a member of
the Shawanaga First Nation, and André Bosse, a Métis
elder, hosted a traditional Aboriginal opening ceremo-
ny for the new structure at the Durham Forest Out-
door Environmental Education Centre, Concession 7,
Uxbridge.
Many Durham District School Board staff members,
Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor, Uxbridge councillors and
students gathered to celebrate.
Ms. Wheatley opened with a traditional unity song as
she drummed over a small fire. The song is used as a
form of prayer which calls on spirt grandmothers and
grandfathers, she said.
The audience slowly clapped to the beat and swayed
back and forth as they focused on the bright flames of
the fire.
Cathy Galberg, interpretive naturalist for outdoor
education with the Durham District School Board,
DDSB, spearheaded the project.
According to Ms. Galberg, the Durham Forest Centre
is part of the outdoor environmental education depart-
ment of the school board. Grade 6 students from across
Durham visit the centre to live and learn for three days
in the woods.
Social study expectations at this grade level include
the study of the indigenous peoples of North America
both prior and post European settlement, she said.
Ms. Galberg believed a tipi would provide students
with a gathering place that would offer a realistic
approach to the curriculum.
The large structure will be used as an outdoor class-
room all year long and it will be “dressed” with tradi-
tional crafts, tools, sacred drying plants and other arti-
facts over time.
The tipi has a cedar plank floor and a stone fire circle,
which vents through a tarp that wraps the shelter.
Through the planning and building process, Ms.
Galberg was joined by Mr. Bosse and many others.
Mr. Bosse provided authentic, traditional knowledge,
building advice and his expertise.
During the opening ceremony, Mr. Bosse was over-
come with emotion and was seen wiping his tears on
several occasions. “These kids will come out further
ahead then we would have,” he said.
According to Ms. Galberg, 28 cedar trees were har-
vested from land near Curve Lake for the poles that
hold the structure together. In September, two Native
Studies classes from Port Perry High School visited
the centre and helped complete the poles by covering
them with protective linseed oil.
The structure officially began to take shape on Oct.
2, when additional students, outdoor environmental
education staff members, Métis elders and the DDSB
Aboriginal education and maintenance departments
all worked together to raise the tipi.
“This tipi feels like a living being. It’s a very organic
structure and will help to bring learning alive for vis-
iting students,” said Ms. Galberg. “It will not only play
a role in the social studies and natural history part of
what we do here but will also add greatly to our charac-
ter development and leadership focus.”
The new structure stands among the massive trees in
the forest and the smooth white canvas boasts hand-
painted art illustrating a boy and a girl and the Four
Winds of Earth.
“Happy children who are in awe, soak up so much
more information,” said Ms. Galberg. “When you learn
these special things in a special place, it sticks with
you.”

UXBRIDGE -- Doug Wilson, of the maintanence department
of Durham District School Board, fastened the front of the tipi
with spruce sticks.
UXBRIDGE -- Zack Stevens, a University of Waterloo co-op
student, circled the tipi, binding the poles together.
UXBRIDGE -- Many hands made for light work as sections
of rope were spliced together.

UXBRIDGE -- Kim Wheatley, of Shawanaga First Nation, sang a unity song inviting elders and grandparents who have
passed on, and all those in attendance to join in the traditional sacred ceremony on Nov. 14 at the Durham District School
Board Environmental Outdoor Education Centre. The ceremony celebrated the unveiling of the centre’s tipi after months
of preparation and building.

DURHAM -- New Durham riding MP Erin
O’Toole’s first order of business was having
a quiet morning at home with his family the
day after the riding’s byelection.
Then the newly mint-
ed Conservative MP
said he wants to con-
tinue meeting Dur-
ham residents and
hearing the issues that
matter to the people
he’s been charged to
represent in Ottawa. “The focus is really to
continue to be active in the community. To
be a very active local representative and to
make sure we keep on track in terms of job
creation and trying to hold taxes low,” said
the corporate lawyer and former Canadian
Forces helicopter navigator.
His first priority of protecting and attract-
ing jobs to the riding was mentioned in his
victory speech on Nov. 26. He also stressed
the need to keep taxes low and said the gov-
ernment is working to make sure the pres-
sure on families and seniors is kept down
while the economy recovers.
This was Mr. O’Toole’s first time running
for office, although he’s been involved with
a number of campaigns, especially helping
his father, long-serving Durham MPP John
O’Toole, the provincial representative for
Clarington, Scugog and Uxbridge.
“I, of course, have to thank my father,
John, who has been an inspiration to me. I
would say nobody typifies a true public ser-
vant more than John O’Toole ... He would
always say to me ‘You don’t know the highs
and lows until your name’s on the sign’,” said
Mr. O’Toole.
On election night, John O’Toole said he
was proud of his son, saying he worked
hard and ran a positive campaign. He said
he hopes his son has learned his motto that
everyone has responsibilities, rights and
deserves respect.
“I’m so happy for him and I hope he’s
ready for it,” said the elder Mr. O’Toole, who
offered advice. “The proper sequence is
family first. And you’re elected by your con-
stituents, not Ottawa.”
Erin O’Toole and his wife Rebecca live in
Courtice and have two young children. For
good luck on election night, Mr. O’Toole was
carrying in his suit pocket a picture drawn
by his six-year-old daughter, Mollie. Mol-
lie was allowed to stay up past her bedtime
to attend the celebration party. She admit-
ted she was “a little” tired. “I think it’s really
good,” said Mollie of her father’s win.
She said she’s never been to Ottawa.
“I’ve always been wanting to go to it,
though.”
Mr. O’Toole won 50 per cent of the votes
cast on election day.

JP Cesario added,
Spencer Bacon
traded to Oakville
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- The one position on the
Pickering Panthers that seemed to be
solidified in the off-season was in net.
Turns out that wasn’t the case.
The Panthers made a move over
the weekend, trading Spencer Bacon
to Oakville, and signing JP Cesario to
become the team’s No. 1 goaltender
ahead of backup CJ Sharp.
“We thought Spencer would be our
guy,” said GM/head coach Mike Galati.
“He played well at times and didn’t play
well at others when we really needed
him. And he saw it too, it wasn’t only on
our side.
“Spencer is a great kid and I will always
have great things to say about him. Some-
times it just doesn’t work out and I think
that’s the situation here with him.”
In the past couple of seasons the Pan-
thers had goaltending issues as Adam
Stein, the son of then-owner Rob, tend-
ed net for the team. But with the Steins
out of the mix this season, it was thought
that Bacon, who has signed a scholarship
offer with Mercyhurst, would help solidi-
fy the position.
Bacon leaves the team after compil-
ing a 5-10-2 record, allowing 77 goals for
a 4.01 average and .889 save percentage.
The 116 goals the Panthers have allowed
through 27 games is the most in the North
East Conference. That statistic is one of
the contributing factors to why they are at
the bottom of the standings, 10th overall,
and three points back of the eighth and
final playoff spot in the conference.
In Cesario, the Panthers are getting a
19 year old with OJHL experience with
Couchiching, Streetsville and Mississau-
ga, as well as a few games in the OHL with
Owen Sound and Erie.
Galati is looking for one thing from
Cesario.
“We need consistency in the net and
we weren’t really getting it,” he said. “He
has to play decent every night and that’s
what we need here to make a little bit of a
push.”
Things didn’t get off to the best of starts
for Cesario in his debut on Saturday in
Cobourg. He violated a new rule that
requires players to remain motionless
during the anthem, resulting in a 10-min-
ute misconduct. It was a sign of things to
come, as Cobourg scored six times on 29
shots over two periods to chase Cesario
from the net. Sharp finished out the third
period of an 8-2 loss.
With a 9-16-2 record, the Panthers head
to Newmarket on Thursday, host Lind-
say on Sunday at 6:30 p.m., then head to
Whitby Tuesday.
Galati expects to be able to ice a healthy
team for the upcoming games, pointing
out that as many as 10 players missed
practice last week due to the flu. There
were so few bodies one day, the team
cancelled a workout, sending everyone
home, he added.

Notre Dame
reaches
consolation
final at
OFSAA
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The Notre Dame Lady Cougars got to
play for a championship at the OFSAA Quad-
A basketball championships, albeit not the
one they were striving for heading in.
A loss in the second game relegated Notre
Dame to the consolation side, where they
advanced to the championship game against
Northern, dropping a 53-46 decision.
All in all, despite not going deep into the
championship side of the draw, head coach
Rose Booker was happy with her team’s
showing.
“Any time you can go to OFSAA and get five
games in against the top teams in the prov-
ince, then you have to look at it as a success,”
she said.
Notre Dame, seeded eighth in the 16-team
tournament in London, opened with a 36-29
victory over the No. 14-seeded John Paul II
on the strength of 13 points from Brianna
Thomas and 10 from Lorraine Enabulele. In
the second game, against No. 9 Blessed Pope
John Paul II, Notre Dame trailed 6-5 after the
first quarter, but failed to score a single point
in the second quarter, trailing 20-5 at the
half, eventually falling 40-19.
“I don’t think we played terrible, the ball
just wasn’t sinking for us,” said Booker. “Pope
peaked at the right time ... I think Pope was
the second best team there.
“(The girls) were really disappointed after
the game that we lost, but they regrouped
and knew they still had a championship to
play for.”
In the consolation quarter-finals, Notre
Dame played a strong game in a 56-22 win
over No. 16 Newmarket, then got past a
strong No. 7 seed St. John’s College 56-41 in
the semifinals. In the final, despite 17 points
from Enabulele and 13 from Jazzy Simons,
Notre Dame came up short 53-46 to No. 11
Northern.
Looking ahead to next year, Booker said her
team loses just one starter, Brianna Thomas,
who is off to Duquesne University on schol-
arship, and that the experience of playing at
OFSAA this year will give the team an idea of
how hard they have to work to get back.
Notre Dame qualified for OFSAA after
knocking off two-time defending LOSSA
champion Pickering 35-27 in this year’s
final.

Pickering qualifies for
Ontario regional junior
football championship
Crush Ashbury
College 42-14
in semifinal
TORONTO -- The Pickering Trojans
have advanced to today’s Ontario
regional junior football champi-
onship following a 42-14 win over
Ashbury College (Ottawa) on Sat-
urday at St. Michael’s College.
Although the final margin was 28
points, the Colts gave the Trojans a
great battle behind the stellar pass-
ing of quarterback Jake Hamm.
The Colts opened the game with
drive that took 8:30 off the clock
which resulted in Hamm keep-
ing the ball and scoring from one
yard out. Sascha Jammes added a
two-point convert on the follow-
ing play. The Trojans, gambling on
fourth down, gave the ball to Dar-
nell Jarrett who swept around the
outside for a 40-yard gain. They
immediately followed that play
with a 20-yard run by Keyshaun
Cumberbatch for a touchdown.
Justice Johnson added the convert
as Pickering reduced the deficit to
one.
The second quarter was head-
lined by Darnell Jarrett, who was
onside when Pickering punted
and was able to recover that punt
at midfield allowing the Trojans to
maintain possession. Three min-
utes later, Pickering picked up a
big break when a Colt punt return-
er had difficulty fielding the ball at
the goal line. As he finally started
to control the ball, he was hit hard
by Jarrett, who then fell on the ball
in the end zone to put the Trojans
ahead 13-8. Ashbury responded
with a long drive highlighted by a
long pass and run to Sascha James
who carried the ball to the 11-yard
line before finally being tackled.
Shortly after, Hamm completed
a nine-yard touchdown strike to
Viktor Lorenzen. The point after
attempt failed and the teams
reached the half with Ashbury
holding a narrow 14-13 lead.
Pickering regained the lead at
the midpoint of the third quarter
as Jarrett took the ball to the house
from two yards out. Once again the
Colts battled back and appeared
to have the Trojan secondary beat
as Hamm delivered a long pass to
Tommy Friedlich, who was unable
to hold on to the ball.
In the opening minute of the final
quarter, Kesean Bennett increased
the lead to 27-14 as he scored
from one yard out. With just under
eight minutes remaining, Hamm
appeared to suffer an injury to his
throwing hand and was moved
to running back. The injury obvi-
ously affected the Ashbury passing
game from that point on. The Colts
appeared to tire in the final quar-
ter as Pickering delivered a couple
of big plays, including a 93-yard
screen pass to Kesean Bennett,
who probably ran 150 yards before
finally being brought down at the
Ashbury two-yard line. Jarrett, on
the next play from scrimmage, and
Johnson closed out the scoring.
Game MVP awards went to Dar-
nel Jarrett and Jake Hamm.
Pickering advances to the tour-
nament final for the first time
since 1997. Their opponent will
be Blessed Trinity (Grimsby), who
defeated Notre Dame (Burlington)
34-20 in the game preceding the
Trojan-Colt match.

AP Jenner scoring big with Oshawa Generals coach
DJ Smith
praises
captain’s
work ethic
Brian Mcnair
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Gener-
als are staying afloat amid a series
of injuries through good, old-fash-
ioned hard work from every single
player on the ice.
But it all starts at the top, where
captain Boone Jenner is building a
strong case as the Ontario Hockey
League’s most valuable player.
Jenner scored two goals for the
third straight game Sunday, lead-
ing the Generals to arguably their
most impressive victory of the sea-
son, a dominant 3-1 decision over
a Niagara IceDogs team that hadn’t
lost in regulation in their six previ-
ous games.
Remarkably, just 27 games into
the season, Jenner is now only one
goal shy of his previous high with a
league-leading 24.
But more than that, the 19-year-
old Columbus Blue Jackets pros-
pect is setting an example with his
work ethic all over the ice.
“I would be hard-pressed to think
of a player I’ve coached that works
this hard day in and day out,” said
coach DJ Smith after Sunday’s
game. “I guess good defence is
good offence when you have the
puck.”
Jenner did indeed have the puck
a fair bit on Sunday, scoring the
opening goal on a rebound 11:32
into the game, and adding an
impressive insurance marker in
the third, dodging around Dougie
Hamilton, the best defenceman
in the league, and snapping a low
shot past Niagara goalie Christo-
pher Festarini.
Jenner continues to mesh well
with linemates Tyler Biggs, whom
he set up for the other goal, and
rookie Michael Dal Colle, who
earned an assist Sunday and leads
the team with a plus-16.
But, while the top line is carry-
ing the offence, Smith attributed
Sunday’s win to an extremely solid
defensive effort, as the Generals,
with only 10 forwards dressed for
the game, out-shot the IceDogs
38-25.
“I thought our guys played hard,
played physically, stayed out of the
penalty box, and Boone continues
to score for us, so I’m really happy
with the way we played,” said
Smith. “We’re a team that has to
commit to defence. If you’re going
to do anything in this league, it has
to start with defence and discipline,
and I thought we did that, and got
some timely goals.”
Goalie Daniel Altshuller didn’t
need to be spectacular, but was
solid in earning his 14th win of the
season. He lost his shutout bid with
5:12 remaining when Steven Ship-
ley scored on a power play.
The Generals improved to 14-10-
1-2 and remained tied in first place
in the East Division with the Bel-
leville Bulls heading into last night’s
game in Peterborough.

November 24, 2012. Bob's final journey
began in July 2011, when he was diagnosed

lowest life expectancy of all cancers and Bob
fought a valiant battle for just over sixteen
months. Bob was deeply loved and will be
forever missed by his wife, Fanny Handjes
and his two sons, Jonathon (wife Rebecca)
and Jeremy. He is survived by his mother
Helen Munn and his siblings Brian (Dawn),
Jo-Ann, Candice (Kim) as well as many other
relatives and friends. Those who were
instrumental in supporting Bob through his
journey and assisted in increasing his
survival time include St. Michael's Hospital
(Dr. Richard Perrin), Sunnybrook Health
Sciences Centre (Dr. James Perry, Julie,
Hyla, and Dr. Mainprize), Lakeridge Health
Oshawa (Dr. Ngo, Dr. Ladak, Connie Stamp
and all the amazing nurses and support staff
on the Supportive Care Unit). Special thanks
also to Hearth Place (Sonja Sheppard) for
their amazing support and to the Brain
Tumour Foundation of Canada for the
resources that they provided. As expressions
of sympathy donations to any one of the
above organizations would be much
appreciated. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. C.T.
(Terry) Rosen, Maxine and Jane. In memory
of Bob's kind, gentle spirit - hug someone you
love today. Family and Friends are invited to
