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.

HOLIDAY SHOPPINGHOURS Tara HaTHerly thatherly@durhamregion.com 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Durham with special needs deserve noth- ing less. 6 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 • N o v e m b e r 2 8 , 2 0 1 2 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 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 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 • N o v e m b e r 2 8 , 2 0 1 2 In a sea of nutrition, celebrating the Captain’s crunch ...On a guilty verdict in the murder of Keagan Davis and Durham’s battery recycling bid...

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.” PICKERING from page 1 jason liebregts / metroland Cooking up holiday treats PICKERING -- Award-winning chef Warren Berman held the first of four workshops hosted by the City of Pickering at Petticoat Creek Community Centre Nov. 22 to highlight show-stopping holiday food dishes.

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.” CELIA KLEMENZ / METROLAND PHOTOS 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.

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.

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. >Panthers make goalie change SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND Net front coverage WHITBY -- Ajax Knights’ Theo Spiro and Whitby Wildcats’ Connor Platt battled for the puck in the Knights’ zone during minor peewee AA hockey action in the Silver Stick hockey tournament held at Iroquois Park. Ajax were blanked 2-0. One 2 Watch 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. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 8 , 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 • No v e m b e r 2 8 , 2 0 1 2 15 AP NOVEMBER 28 TH, 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.

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.

The Bulldogs should be primed for another strong season in 2013 as they will return the talented midfield duo of sophomore Lucas Guerriero and fresh- man Matt Guerriero of Pickering. Predicted to finish 11th in the North- east Conference Preseason Coaches Poll, Bryant finished in seventh place in the conference. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 8 , 2 0 1 2 16 AP NEW!NEW!DISCOVER IMPROVE ACHIEVE Oshawa: 200 John St. W. oshawatrucking.com � �� 4-month internship with leading-edge transportation companies � �� Introduction to Supply Chain & Logistics � �� Commercial Driver Improvement (Defensive Driving) Course Certificate � Air Brake Training � 50 hours of one-on-one in-cab instruction � Training on state-of-the-art 3D simulators 40WEEKS PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORT OPERATOR � �� Air Brake Training � Commercial Driver Improvement (Defensive Driving) Course Certificate � Preparation for AZ Class license � Training on state-of-the-art 3D simulators 8WEEKS TRACTOR-TRAILER (AZ) Member of:Delivered inPartnership with: Courses include a diploma from theTruck Training Schools Association of Ontario (TTSAO).

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. > ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals captain Boone Jenner leads the league with 24 goals this season.
