AJAX -- Liberal leadership candidates
vowed to improve transit in Durham Region
and the Greater Toronto Area -- even criti-
cizing the federal government for not con-
tributing more -- at an Ajax Convention
Centre debate on Jan. 6.
“The federal government paid around 15
cents on the dollar for new subway builds.
It’s criminal,” said Gerard Kennedy.
Sandra Pupatello said transit in the GTA
needs attention and that the new premier
would need to make the business case to
bring the federal government to the table.
“Every modern economy out there has
their federal government helping their big-
gest city on transit. Everywhere but Canada.
We need to change this,” said Ms. Pupatel-
lo.
Kathleen Wynne said Canada needs a
national transit strategy and she would ask
local MPPs to sit down with federal Finance
Minister Jim Flaherty.
“What other jurisdiction does not have the
input and support of federal government in
an incremental way? Because the big thing I
learned as minister of transportation is you
can’t take breaks of 30 years. You can’t dig
holes and fill them in, as we saw under the
previous government, and still expect to get
ahead,” said Ms. Wynne.
All seven premier hopefuls touted the idea
of a long-range transit plan that was less
susceptible to short-term political interfer-
ence.
Charles Sousa’s transit plan includes a
high-speed rail and making the entire GTA
region one system for transportation.
“One transit system. Get away from
municipal boundaries and let’s get on with
it,” said Mr. Sousa.
Glen Murray said there is a serious discon-
nect between where new employment and
office space is being built and downtown-
centred transit system. He said transit is not
“build it and they will come” but needs to
be built where people need to go.
“The other myth is that is has to be mas-
sively publicly subsidized. Build it where
people go and it’s much more self-sustain-
able,” said Mr. Murray.
The new premier will have to balance
plans for major transit and infrastructure
initiatives while working with opposition
leaders in the minority government and
tackling a large provincial deficit.
Harinder Takhar has put forward the idea
of funding new projects with Ontario Infra-
structure Savings Bonds. He said gridlock is
costing $6 million in lost productivity in the
GTA and was the single greatest barrier in
job creation in the area.
“I remember (Hwy.) 407 east discussion
when I was minister of transportation in
2006 and it’s still not built,” said Mr. Takhar.
Erin Hoskins said he was committed to
sharing the gas tax revenue with all munic-
ipalities, to include smaller communities
that are struggling to maintain their roads
and bridges.
“It doesn’t matter whether you live in
Durham or whether you live in a small rural
village. You have transit and transportation
needs,” said Mr. Hoskins.
The Ontario Liberal Party leadership elec-
tion is scheduled for Jan. 25 to 27.
Next Liberal premier wants to
break traffic gridlock in Durham

Area dancers
compete on world
stage in Germany
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- One Pickering resident is
tapping her way into the history books after
finishing first at the International Dance
Organization’s world tap dance champion-
ships.
Brianna Visconti, 11, took gold in the chil-
dren’s female solo category at the competi-
tion in Riesa, Germany in December with
her performance Over the Rainbow.
“I competed last year too so it wasn’t as
nerve-wracking this time, but it was really,
really exciting,” said Brianna.
“I was shocked to win. It was my dream
come true. I started this routine last year
and have been practising all the time so it
was exciting to not only perform it but then
to win.”
Brianna, who has been dancing since she
was six years old, also trains in jazz, ballet,
hip hop and acro, but calls tap her favourite
style.
“I like the rhythm and the sound, it’s cool
that just your feet can make that type of
sound,” she said.
For her family, getting the chance to see
Brianna’s dedication to dance pay off is
something they will always remember. This
was her second gold at the competition, as
she won in the duet category in 2011 with
her partner Ashley Chambers.
“Dance training has given Brianna the
opportunity to develop a remarkable work
ethic and essential time management skills,
she understands that great things are not
achieved overnight, but that they require
hard work and dedication,” said Brianna’s
father, Domenic Visconti.
“We were all so proud to see Brianna up on
the podium, singing our national anthem as
the Canadian flag rose. To be world cham-
pion is such an accomplishment.”
Brianna, a student at Notre Dame de la
Jeunesse, has spent time training at both
Ajax’s Dance Inc. and Pickering’s Durham
Dance Centre. She spent a lot of time per-
fecting her award-winning solo with So You
Think You Can Dance Canada alum Ever-
ett Smith at the Tap Dance Centre in Missis-
sauga.
Training alongside her was fellow Dur-
ham competitor Sachin Beepath, who
attends Pickering High School. Sachin took
the gold medal in the junior male solos.
Fellow Ajax and Pickering area dancers
Ariana Beepath, Krystina Elbertsen, Emma
Elliott, Shanice Nembhard, Anjelica Para-
schos, Stéphanie Visconti and Madison
Williams also competed in Germany.
Success in learning to meet the challenges of the future.

AJAX -- An Ajax man convicted of a vicious
sexual assault on a teenaged girl will contin-
ue to be jailed indefinitely after the Province’s
top court rejected an appeal of his sentence.
There’s no guarantee Christopher Ramga-
doo’s tendency toward violent sexual behav-
iour will lessen as he ages, the Ontario Court
of Appeal said in a ruling released Dec. 27.
Nor has it been established the three-time
offender would comply with an order to
take medication to curb his sex drive, the
court found. Ontario Court Justice Don-
ald Halikowski correctly concluded that Mr.
Ramgadoo meets the criteria for a danger-
ous offender designation, as he presents a
high risk to reoffend and is not likely to be
safely managed in the community, the court
found.
“This finding was firmly grounded in the
evidence” presented during a sentencing
hearing in 2009, the court said in a written
ruling.
Mr. Ramgadoo pleaded guilty to sever-
al charges, including sexual assault, chok-
ing and unlawful confinement, relating to a
2007 attack on a 13-year-old girl in Ajax. Mr.
Ramgadoo, who was 30 at the time, followed
the girl into a building and subjected her to
a sustained and violent sexual assault, court
heard.
It was his third conviction for crimes against
women. He had been convicted for a 2004
attack that saw him choke a woman, and in
2005 he was arrested for sexually assaulting
an 18-year-old woman.
Mr. Ramgadoo had been out of jail for just
a month before the attack on the Ajax teen in
April of 2007.
During a dangerous offender hearing fol-
lowing Mr. Ramgadoo’s guilty plea to that
crime, Justice Halikowski heard evidence
from psychiatrists who said the man presents
a high risk to commit more violent offences.
Mr. Ramgadoo’s prognosis was compli-
cated by his schizophrenia, which made the
likelihood of his violent tendencies receding
as he aged less certain, the judge heard.
The judge also heard evidence that it was
doubtful Mr. Ramgadoo would comply with
any orders to take drugs to curb his sex drive.
In his ruling in early 2010 Justice Halikowski
declared Mr. Ramgadoo a dangerous offend-
er. The designation means he is jailed indefi-
nitely, with periodic reviews of his status by
the National Parole Board.
The Court of Appeal, which heard Mr. Ram-
gadoo’s appeal in April of 2012, found Justice
Halikowski had properly applied expert evi-
dence in arriving at his finding.

Collision killed
Ajax boy on
New Year’s Day
AJAX -- Police have charged
a Toronto man in connection
with a Jan. 1 hit-and-run crash
that killed a seven-year-old
Ajax boy.
OPP arrested a man Friday
night on the eastbound Hwy.
401 near Cobourg.
On Jan. 1 on the 401 in Mis-
sissauga, a westbound Honda Odyssey
was involved in a collision with a Hum-
mer near Dixie Road. Police
said the Hummer did not stop
and was later found aban-
doned on Dixie.
Jacoub Favila, 7, who
was sitting in the rear seat of
the Odyssey, died of his inju-
ries in hospital. Five other
children and two adults in the
minivan were not injured.
Days after their son’s
death, his parents, Bloomy
and Jovita Favila, pleaded for
the driver to turn himself in.
They described Jacoub as a
smart, happy boy who liked LEGO.
Jose Olmedo Renteria, 30, of Toronto,
is charged with dangerous driving caus-
ing death, criminal negligence causing
death and failing to remain at the scene
of an accident.
He appeared in a Brampton court Sat-
urday.

PICKERING -- A fire that broke out shortly after 9
p.m. Jan. 1 at Ontario Power Generation’s Pickering
nuclear generating station is currently under inves-
tigation.
The fire occurred in an offline unit, shut down
for planned maintenance, which was being worked
on when the fire started.
“There was outage work underway on Unit
One, and so all employees were assembled for
a counting, everybody was present, and there
were no employee injuries,” said Neal Kelly, OPG
spokesman, adding the plant’s fire protection team
made quick work of the flames.
“It wasn’t burning that long, and our own fire-
fighters at Pickering Nuclear, and our sprinkler sys-
tems, extinguished the fire safely on their own. The
(City of) Pickering fire department did arrive; they
helped with ventilation.”
The blaze happened on the non-nuclear side
of the plant, in a lube oil purification system in Unit
One’s turbine hall, which supplies turbine bearings
with clean cooling lubrication oil.
An investigation is underway by OPG to deter-
mine the cause of the fire and extent of the dam-
age.
Mr. Kelly said nothing of this particular nature
has happened at the plant before.
Operation at the plant was not affected, nor
were any other units, and OPG said the situation
does not raise any community safety concerns.
Pickering Nuclear always has its own firefight-
ers on hand at the plant.
The plant’s regulator, the Canadian Nuclear
Safety Commission, community stakeholders and
the appropriate provincial agencies were notified of
the fire.

Durham Region has a bad case of the
flu.
With winter barely started, the Region’s
health department says there’s a large
spike in the number of flu cases reported
this year, with the season of sickness start-
ing earlier than usual.
And it’s likely that most people didn’t
need the health department to tell them
what they already know -- lots and lots
of people are under the weather, sneez-
ing and sniffling and just plain sick. Next
door, in neighbouring Northumberland
County, the Northumberland Hills Hos-
pital in Cobourg is under siege, with its
emergency department overwhelmed
with patients exhibiting respiratory illness
and flu-like symptoms.
The good news for anyone who got their
flu shot this season is that the prevalent
bug going around matches the vaccine
doled out this year, according to Anne
Grant, a senior public health inspector
with the Durham health department.
She notes there are three types of flu
strains being seen this season -- influenza
A H3N2, influenza A H1N1 and influenza
B.
Those who have been vaccinated are
not guaranteed they won’t get sick, but
symptoms should be less severe, she says.
According to the health department, the
vaccine can prevent the flu in 70 to 90 per
cent of healthy adults and children, and
up to 50 per cent in elderly people.
Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore
throat, severe headaches and body aches.
And while not everyone with flu requires
medical attention, young children and
the elderly are most at risk for secondary
infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis
and ear infections.
It’s up to each of us to safeguard our
health and follow common-sense precau-
tions.
It’s not too late to get your flu shot if you
haven’t already, and be mindful to wash
hands often and well with anti-bacterial
soap. The flu spreads from person to per-
son through the air by coughing, sneez-
ing and talking, and can also be picked up
through direct contact with surfaces con-
taminated by the virus such as toys, door-
knobs and unwashed hands. Since it’s vir-
tually impossible to avoid contact with
others, it’s a good time of year to carry
and use hand sanitizers and disinfectant
wipes.
If you get sick, stay home and rest, so
as to avoid spreading the virus to others,
and help yourself recover faster. Ms. Grant
advises drinking plenty of fluids, treating
symptoms and seeing your doctor if you
are very ill.

Mapping the Path Forward for local news
It’s no secret the media industry is in a state of flux.
Across the industry, North America-wide, the advertising dollar
is morphing with some advertisers preferring print, others web
advertising, and still others fragmented across any number of
media options. For many newspapers, publishing frequency is
decreasing and print news holes shrinking while the Web repre-
sents unlimited space and a different reading experience.
Journalists can sit around wringing their hands, pro-
claiming the sky is falling, or they can adapt to the chang-
ing landscape and find new and better ways to deliver
information to their readers.
Since November, a task force of eight in our edi-
torial department has been meeting to create a road
map for news coverage moving forward. The Path
Forward project focuses on three areas:
1. Determining what our customers are interest-
ed in reading about and what job they want us
to do for them.
2. Reviewing all the requests we have for edi-
torial coverage and determining how best to
tell each story, including whether the story
is better presented in print or online.
3. Creating a toolbox of storytelling and pre-
sentation options for our journalists that includes designing new,
modular in-paper layering elements to make storytelling more
effective for our readers.
The objective is to reshape the way we deliver news based on
reader interest and the medium the story is best suited to, using
the resources we have. Also, to provide our reporters, photogra-
phers and editors with a playbook that ensures we are communi-
cating more clearly exactly what the expectations are for an assign-
ment in terms of time spent on it, length, detail and presentation.
Last week you might have noticed our readership survey includ-
ed in your newspaper flyer bundle. This week the same survey
will run in all our Durham Region newspapers. It’s also available
online at durhamregion.com.
The Path Forward will be our road map for future coverage and
has the potential to significantly change our approach to commu-
nity news. We’re counting on your suggestions and feedback to
make this a success so please take a few minutes to fill in the sur-
vey and share your thoughts with us. You could even win a prize
just for participating!
We are excited about the possibilities; I’ll keep you posted on
our progress.

of Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region division.

I have two male dogs in the house these days. It’s nothing
new for me to own two dogs at the same time. I’ve had two
dogs with me for most of my adult life. But usually I’ve had a
female and a male. The dual male combo hasn’t been any-
thing of an issue until just recently.
Young male canines, as some of you may be aware,
do not start lifting their leg to pee until around a year
old. As I understand it, this has something to do with
maturity and confidence levels. The leg lifting
occurs concurrent with the urge to mark terri-
tory. It’s the male dog’s way of staking out turf:
“This is my hood, these are my people, stay
away.”
Not a big deal and actually, zoologically kind of
fascinating ... that is, until you try to walk two male
dogs at the same time. My older pooch, Owen,
is about as confident as they come. It’s like
having Bruce Willis on the end of the
leash.
He feels duty bound to mark every
inch of real estate within a 10-kilo-
metre radius of our home. I once
saw him pee on the coat of a
woman who made the simple
mistake of standing still for too
long in his vicinity.
So, walking him, necessar-
ily, has become a bit of a stop/
start affair. Every 10 feet or so,
Owen will find some egre-
gious olfactory evidence
of trespass that he needs to
immediately redress. He’s
completely without humour
regarding this task. In fact, he will
very often shoot me a look, while he goes
about his business, that seems to say,
‘What’s your problem? Can you not see
we have a situation here? How about a
little help?’
The upshot of all of this stopping
and marking, of course, is that the walk can take a long time.
Throw another territory-tagging male into the mix and you’ve
now got a process that moves slower than a public works crew.
It can take me 15 minutes to cover a single block.
Things might move along a little more quickly if the two of
them had the sense to work as a team. ‘You cover that
side of the sidewalk, I’ve got this side over here’. But
what happens more often than not is a kind of mani-
acal, duelling squirt guns. The two of them racing
around, twisting leashes and desperately trying
to out-paint each other to the point that on more
than one occasion they’ve actually peed on each
other’s head. This would be funny were it not for
the fact that inevitably I am the one who has to clean
them off once we come back home.
It occurred to me the other day, while wit-
nessing yet another display of canine acro-
batic urination, that human males are not
really all that different.
We too mark our territory with equal
zeal and we’re not always that subtle
about it.
Anyone who tried to park at a mall
over the Christmas shopping
season will have undoubtedly
encountered some serious two-
legged territoriality.
Likewise, if you’ve ever been
unfortunate enough to have had to
use a public men’s room, the mess
encountered inside some of the stalls
is a staggering portrait of male propri-
etorship. It’s like Jackson Pollack had a uri-
nary infection.
The actual toilet bowl, it would appear,
is nothing more than a suggestion. The bot-
tom line is, you can dress us up, but we’re
still all dogs underneath.

Male dogs and men tend to mark territory
The return of the NHL
and more on Bill 115...
Facebook debate this week came in response to
news of a contract deal in the NHL and the lat-
est move by the Province on Bill 115.
Lea Carter Adams: I’m thrilled the
NHL is back. NFL holds no interest
for me, never has, likely never will.
Rebecca Murray: BLAH, BLAH,
BLAH, who cares.....greedy play-
ers...
Chris-Sherry Thompson: Leafs
always do amazing at the start of
the season then mess up so with
that said 1/2 season means they
should do good :)
Phil Minty: Put it away. Better luck
next year. Sorry to all the indepen-
dent vendors who depend on it.
Mike Moon: Looks like a lot of the
haters are responding. Woot.
Hockey is back on. Fun times.
Something to do besides worrying
about burning kids and negative
news.Go Leafs Go
More on Bill 115... Laura Feeney: The McGuinty
government is the most useless
government in Ontario history,
manufactures a crisis, and leaves
voters without representation at
Queens’ Park while they attempt to get their house
in order while in a minority situation. Why did the
Lt. Governor allow this? I’d have told Dalton to go
float his boat.
Randy J Kirk: It’s a crime to allow
this to happen... We must all fight
legislation that restricts our rights
and freedoms. So so sad she
(Minister Broten) has gone too far
and this was dictated by Hudak... They both look
like the cat that swallowed the Canary... Lets all
stand up and fight this...
Scott Brewer: Good job to Minis-
ter Broten! As for the extra activi-
ties, that is something teachers
should be paid for if they decide to
take it on.

IRANT response, this one via email:
As an elementary teacher, and in response to the Jan. 2 RANT, this is not fun for us either. Most law-abiding, taxpaying teachers are hard-working citizens who are offended that our ability to bargain has been axed by the government, after decades of give and take that have resulted in positive school environments (e.g. class size). I would like to know who made Dalton the king, and gave him veto power to abolish collective bargaining. Governments shouldn’t impose agreements, because that’s not an agreement. It is unfortunate for Grade 12 students. I suspect that Kelly has a child who is graduating this year. However, her child is still getting the education her taxes paid for. If anything, this has been a wake-up call to parents; in addition to an excellent education, think of all the extras your child has been getting for free! Nowhere in our job description does it state that we have to do extra-curriculars. I know of few professions that work extra hours for free, time that I could spend with my own children. Don’t get me wrong; we like doing extra-curriculars because we genuinely like your kids. However, what
other recourse do we have? McGuinty claimed that he would never interfere with collective bargaining (August 2011) and now he is changing the rules to suit his political agenda and overspending. Now he has repealed a disposable law that worked only in his favour! I know that you care about your own kid, but in the long run, this year will make dramatic changes for all students, and teachers, for years to come. Kelly wonders “what’s the point of students showing up at school”. I don’t mean to belittle proms, trips, sports and clubs but the real point of going to school is to get an education. You may be jealous of our summers off, you may think we are overpaid, but I bet you wouldn’t trade places with me. I love my job. Many people can’t say that. I don’t want to destroy the great public education that Ontario has established. My working conditions translate into outstanding learning conditions for your child. Take your anger and tell your MPP. Isn’t that the way democracy is supposed to work?
-- Janet Clements,
Pickering

Thursday afternoon in Pickering.
No one was hurt during the mugging,
near the Pickering Recreation Complex at
about 1:30 p.m., Durham police said.
Three 17-year-old males told cops they
were accosted by a group who
demanded they empty their
pockets, then forcibly took
property when they refused.
The suspects, described
as black males, fled with
property including cell-
phones and a wallet.
The victims gave chase for a time before

DINING OUT ADVERTISING FEATURE
In Ajax & Pickering
Over the last twenty years or so, Durham Region residents have received a variety
of benefits from the various cultures that have become part of our community. One
of those benefits is the cuisine. And one of the most successful cuisines to make its
mark in the area is that of sushi or Japanese food. One of the best examples of sushi
restaurants in the area are the two locations of Makimono Japanese Restaurant with
locations in Ajax and Pickering.
Updated with a more modern style recently, Makimono Pickering maintains an
ambience that appeals to a younger crowd as well as families and more mature cus-
tomers. Their menu offers a variety of raw and cooked dishes including such favorites
as Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura and Bento Boxes. And as many of their staff has lived in
Japan, they bring an authentic Japanese style of cooking to every dish.
Makimono Pickering and Ajax both offer All-You-Can Eat and a-la-carte dining,
take-out, delivery and party trays. Makimono Pickering can accommodate groups of
up to 60 people and functions for up to 130 people.
In November 2010, Makimono opened a new restaurant in Oshawa called Kake-
mono. Located at 1300 Harmony Road North on the south-west corner of Harmony
and Taunton Roads, Kakemono features All-You-Can-Eat Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura
and Bento Boxes. Kakemono offers a real taste of Japan for lunch or dinner!
And what’s more; a new location named Tatemono opened just over a year ago in
Whitby in the Empire-Whitby Entertainment Centrum on Consumers Drive, just west
of Thickson!
Both locations of Makimono are open Monday through Thursday from 11:30am
to 10:30pm, Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30am to 11pm and Sundays Noon to
10:30pm.
All-You-Can-Eat lunches start at $13.99 per adult while All-You-Can-Eat dinners are
$20.99 per adult. Some restrictions apply. Visit www.makimono.ca or one of their
locations for details.

east of Harwood Avenue (905-427-2726) while the Pickering location is at 1790 Liv-
erpool Road on the west side between the 401 and Kingston Road (905-831-0355).

Players in final
year of eligibility
are available
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- With the Jan. 10 trade dead-
line fast approaching, the Pickering Pan-
thers are open for business.
GM/head coach Mike Galati confirmed
on Tuesday morning that he has made all
of his 1992-born players in their last year
of eligibility in the Ontario Junior Hockey
League available for trade. Calls from other
teams looking to pick over his roster had
increased over the weekend as the compe-
tition seeks out a player who will help for
the playoffs.
“Whether we make the playoffs, (the
1992s) deserve a chance to go to a place
where they can win,” said Galati. “It’s their
last year. I think they deserved that. I know
a couple will be wanted by a lot of teams.
Hopefully they can move on and win.
“We still have a goal here to make the
playoffs. That’s still our goal. We’ll finish
the year and see how it goes.”
Included on the list of 1992-born players
are defencemen Josh Herrington, Cody
Doiron and Micah Nichols, while the for-
wards include Robert Lepine, Matt Galati,
Sean Levac and Alex Clements.
Of particular interest will be Galati, the
younger brother of the GM/head coach,
who is second in team scoring at bet-
ter than a-point-a game pace, putting up
21-18-39 point totals in 38 games. Doiron
is right behind in third with 7-23-30 num-
bers as a defenceman, while another blue-
liner, Nichols, would add instant tough-
ness to a lineup, sporting 80 minutes to
lead the Panthers this season.
In return, Galati is looking to add some
prospects.
“I want young kids back only because
we’ve been picked apart by teams in other
leagues. We do need a couple bodies back,”
he said. “We have a couple of cards left, so
if we can get a couple of kids that will be
here for this year and next year, that’s the
goal.”
The Panthers lost a couple of key pieces
to their team with nothing in return when
Carlos Amestoy left to join the Wood-
stock Slammers of the Maritime Junior
Hockey League after putting up 14 points
in 14 games in his brief stay with the
team. Just before Christmas, defenceman
Derek Sheppard signed with the Gatineau
Olympiques of the Quebec Major Junior
Hockey League.
“He was one of our top defencemen. At
the same time, you never want to hold a
kid back from moving on,” said Galati of
Sheppard. “It hurts us. He’s got a big shot,
is tough, and he’s only a 1994, so he’s a kid
that would have been here for another two
years.”
The Panthers are nine points out of the
eighth and final playoff spot in the North
East Conference, sporting a 12-22-4
record. Tonight they are in Aurora, hosting
Wellington on Friday at 7:30 p.m.
THE SCOOP
The Panthers split a pair of weekend games, dou-
bling Stouffville 4-2 on home ice Friday, but were
spanked 12-1 in Trenton on Sunday ... Defence-
man Wil Pointon, a Pickering resident, was
acquired in a trade with Hamilton. The Panthers
will be Pointon’s third team this season, having
started in Milton, playing just two games before
heading to Hamilton. He played in both weekend
games for the Panthers ... Over the Christmas hol-
idays, Andrew McCann and Matt Galati played
for the OJHL North all-star team, each recording
three assists in four games at the tournament held
in Wellington ... In a prospects game during the
same week at the same location, Aidan Wallace
scored in overtime to lift the OJHL over the CCHL
4-3. The OJHL prospects team was coach by the
staff of the Pickering Panthers.

PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers’ Joseph Benvenuto and Tanner Bull closed in on Michael Stevens from the Stouffville Spirit
during Friday’s game at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The Panthers doubled Stouffville 4-2.
One 2 Watch
PICKERING -- Achieving her Gold Inter-
pretive test is a moment Christin Spencer
will never forget.
Spencer began skating at the Pickering
Skating Club at the tender age of three.
She began in the Preschool program and
then moved up to Canskate and then
into the STAR-
Skate program.
She said the
most challeng-
ing thing about
figure skating
for her was find-
ing the confi-
dence in her-
self to let go and
really perform
well. She said
she struggled for
years with the
feeling of being
scared and her
insecurity of her
athletic abili-
ties. She grew
over the years
and slowly began
to trust herself and rely on her coach to
over come this challenge.
“Skating has taught me that every time I
am down, I can pick myself up,” she says.
“It provides such a sense of accomplish-
ment.”
The York University student is study-
ing psychology, with hopes of becoming
a clinical psychologist.
She says her greatest achievement in
skating was achieving her Gold Interpre-
tive.
“It felt incredible. I couldn’t believe I
got it.”
After finding out she achieved her Gold
test from coach Cheryl Hockley, both
Spencer and her mom cried.
“It made me want to keep skating and
gave me the confidence in myself and my
abilities that I struggled for years to get,”
she says.
Her coach says that, “Christin worked
very hard on this program and it was a
joy to be a part of this accomplishment.
She is a very studious person who excels
in school and is very dedicated when on
the ice.”
Spencer skated her interpretive pro-
gram to Iron by Woodkid.
“It was music from the Assassin’s Creed
trailer that I fell in love with,” she says.
“I thought it was appropriate because it
reflected a warrior.”

End of NHL lockout could affect Gens
Oshawa captain
Boone Jenner likely
off to Columbus
Blue Jackets’ camp
Brian Mcnair
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Jeff Twohey and the Oshawa
Generals were hoping this would be the time
where questions would start to get answered
with respect to the Ontario Hockey League
club and the direction it would be headed
down the stretch.
In fact, the opposite is now true.
Although four key players have returned
from international tournaments and oth-
ers are finally trickling back from injuries,
the end of the National Hockey League lock-
out has thrown yet another wrench into the
team’s plans.
The biggest and most likely disruption to
accomplishing anything significant this sea-
son would be losing captain Boone Jenner,
whose stellar play this season has made him
a candidate to stick with the Columbus Blue
Jackets, the team that selected him in the sec-
ond round of the 2011 draft.
Jenner, just back from a disappointing
world junior tournament with Canada, will
at the very least get a look during the Blue
Jackets’ abbreviated training camp, which is
expected to start Saturday.
Twohey, Oshawa’s general manager, said
Monday that there are still many questions
left to be answered, including whether or not
the OHL’s Jan. 10 trade deadline would be
extended in light of the confusing times sur-
rounding the NHL.
“You have to be cautious with how to pro-
ceed here because we’re kind of moving into
the unknown. We don’t really know the sta-
tus of our team here,” said Twohey, who
added Tuesday that he believed the deadline
would remain noon Thursday. “We’re trying
to have some foresight here and plan prop-
erly, but I don’t think any of us really knows
where this is going and where it’s going to be
two or three weeks from now.”
The Generals have managed to get by
remarkably well since Jenner, the league’s
leading goal-scorer at the time, left for the
world junior tournament, winning five of
eight games.
In fact, they’ve managed to stay afloat and
in contention in the East Division despite
missing Tyler Biggs, Sebastian Uvira, Michael
Dal Colle, Lucas Lessio, Matt Petgrave, Hunt-
er Smith, Adam Lloyd, Chris Carlisle and
Tyler Hore for some or all of those games as
well.
“It’s been frustrating but it’s been really
rewarding too,” said Twohey, pointing out
the team has lost 158-man games so far this
season, nearly four per game. “I think the
coaches have done a great job of holding this
together while we’ve been missing players
and I think the players deserve a lot of cred-
it for having us not fall right out of the race
given everybody we’ve lost.
“The frustrating part is that we know when
we’re at full strength, we’re a pretty good
team, but we just haven’t been able to get
there yet.”
The Generals hope to get Petgrave and
Hore back from injury for Wednesday’s game
in Ottawa against the 67’s, a team that has
been busy in advance of the deadline, trad-
ing sniper Tyler Graovac to Belleville and
defenceman Cody Ceci to Owen Sound.
Jenner, Biggs, Dal Colle and Uvira should
all be back for that game as well, while Car-
lisle and Smith are possible for the weekend
and Lessio perhaps by the end of the month.
“We’re a little frustrated because we were
looking forward starting on Wednesday to
inch towards a full lineup,” said Twohey, who
expects at least Jenner to leave for NHL camp
after that game. “Now we don’t really know
where we’re at, but we’ve dealt with this all
year and we’ll continue to deal with it.”
As for the trade deadline, Twohey said he’s
been active in talks and will make the team
better if he can, but won’t fill one hole at the
expense of another.
“They’re a tight-knit group and they’ve
come through for us all along, so we don’t
want to disrupt them too much,” he said.
“We’re going to try, but at the end of the day
if the worst case is we don’t do anything, we
can live with that.”
Generally Speaking
The Generals dropped to 22-15-1-2 with a 6-3 loss
Friday in Kingston, where they had just 15 skaters,
including call-ups Pat Hamilton, Matt Hore, Evan
Buehler and Austin Boulard ... Brian Hughes,
Scott Laughton and Cole Cassels scored in defeat
... Defenceman Will Petschenig scored his first OHL
goal in a 4-1 road win over the Brampton Battalion
Thursday. Laughton, Cassels and Bradley Latour also
scored ... Laughton had six goals and five assists in
the eight games without captain Boone Jenner in
the lineup, while Cassels had four of each ... Tyler
Graovac had a goal and three assists in his debut
Sunday with the Bulls, who moved two points ahead
of the Generals with a 6-2 win over Sault Ste. Marie
... After Wednesday’s game in Ottawa, the Generals
will host Peterborough Friday and Windsor Sunday
afternoon.
