Firefighters were called to the plant at Tuesday morning in response to a probable methane explosion in the building used for odour control. There were no injuries and operations at the plant were not affected. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Explosion damages Pickering sewage plant No injures; cause still unknown PICKERING -- No one was hurt in an explosion and fire at the Duffin Creek sewage treatment plant in Pickering Tuesday morning. The explosion happened at about 9:15 a.m. at the plant on McKay Road, near the Pickering nuclear generating station. “There was an explosion in a bio-filter building at Duffin Creek (plant) at approximately 9:15 a.m., causing a small fire, which was quickly contained by local fire officials,” Cliff Curtis, works com- missioner for Durham Region, said in a press release. “We do not yet know the cause of the explo- sion. We are grateful that there were no injuries, and all staff and contractors have been accounted for.” The facility is jointly owned by Durham and York regions and treats wastewater from residents and businesses in Ajax, Pickering and York. Pickering Fire Chief Bill Doug- las said firefighters from more than one station were called to the plant.

Durham has a lot for the nature enthusiast Eco Durham eBook describes Durham’s natural areas, wildlife and potential dangers Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- In 2013, I was asked to write an eBook on Durham’s ecological sys- tem. Each person I spoke to about the book told me what a huge project I was about to undertake, even before I realized myself how much there is to learn about Durham’s envi- ronment. Turns out they were right. Durham has numerous conservation areas, trails, marshes, creeks, forests and more. Many animals, amphibians, reptiles and insects live here, and thousands of birds either reside in Durham or stop by each time they migrate. As I worked my way through the infor- mation with the help of local nature enthusiasts, groups and organizations, I realized the reason it seemed such a big task is because there’s just so much nat- ural beauty in Durham. Columnist and nature lover Margaret Carney was kind enough to point me to the right people to interview, and loaned me some of her resources to help me get a handle on things. A great source was Bob Hester, a former Ontar- io Power Generation employee who is now a volunteer with Durham Sustain Ability. Mr. Hester was able to not only share important information through a lengthy interview, but also through the work he and a team of others at DSA did on all of Durham’s natural areas, which is posted on its website. Durham Region Field Naturalists was another great resource, as were other organizations and nature enthusiasts, such as Chris McConnell, a local resi- dent and wildlife photographer. The conservation authorities provided great information, especially Perry Sisson of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. They taught me that there is plenty of nature right here. A simple walk to the lake or into a forest will offer plenty. Sim- ply sitting in one’s backyard can prove fruitful for bird sightings. But if you want to do some serious birding, places like Second Marsh in Oshawa or Thickson’s Woods in Whitby are great. There are plenty of others, too many to include in this short piece. They also opened my eyes to the dan- gers that Durham’s beautiful natural areas face. Development is happening all around us, and it’s up to not only munic- ipal, provincial and federal governments to remember these areas need protect- ing, but for everyday people like you and me to speak up when it’s needed. The book includes information on invasive species and the potential dangers they pose, and how to avoid spreading them. We’ve included a map of the natural areas I wrote about, and the book is filled with beautiful photos taken by our pho- tographers. A table of contents makes the book user-friendly. I wasn’t able to include all of the natural areas and wildlife Durham has to offer, but now that I’ve been given a nudge to get out and experience more of the out- doors, I hope to come across them in my local travels.

Ms. Peters had been driving a 13-year-old car. “I found out about the contest on Facebook,” she said. “It’s actually a good prize.” Ms. Peters and her husband Joseph Gibson picked up the car Jan. 16. Ms. Peters said it’s her car and Mr. Gibson won’t be allowed to drive it. “I’ll just be the one cleaning it,” Mr. Gibson said. “It’s a great way to start the new year. She was jumping pretty high.” It’s the first time Ms. Peters has won such a big prize. “It’s a good first,” said Greg Mason, owner of Ontario Hyundai. “She’s never won anything before. What a terrific thing, a brand new car.” Mr. Mason added, “I’m happy that it’s some- one local. The car was set aside at the begin- ning of the contest. We were holding onto it for this owner.” Mark Weir, online sales supervisor for Metroland’s Durham Division, said, “This car giveaway contest was a fantastic way to really introduce our new Win’ems contesting page to the residents of Durham Region. The 30,000 entries we received showed us how much people love to win great prizes. Giving a brand new car away to a young family was really exciting and a great way to kick off what is going to be a great year of great contests.” WATCH the video story @ durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Melissa Peters, recipi- ent of the Win a 2013 Hyundai Accent contest hosted by Metroland Media Group and Ontario Hyundai, checked out her new car with sales represen- tative Luke Madeg.

The college has been selected by the Asso- ciation of Canadian Community Colleges, the representative for Canadian colleges, to shoot, write and edit two videos about a sig- nificant educational initiative in the Carib- bean. Titled CARICOM Education for Employ- ment, it is a collaborative effort between the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, the ACCC and several Caribbean post-secondary institutions. It is focused on developing programs to gradu- ate a skilled workforce that can meet the demands of local employers. In January and February, digital video pro- duction student Chris Gauvreau, journal- ism student Manjula Selvarajah and jour- nalism professor Danielle Harder will trav- el through Jamaica, Antigua, Barbados and possibly Guyana for filming. They will inter- view employers, educators and students about the economic and social impact of these programs. Currently, entrepreneurs and employers are often forced to go outside of their coun- tries for qualified workers. The C-EFE initia- tive is aimed at helping them to meet their hiring needs locally, while decreasing unem- ployment, alleviating poverty and stimulat- ing the economy. Through C-EFE, Canadian colleges are working directly with Caribbean institutions to develop curriculum and share knowl- edge about how to involve industry in pro- gram development. The video produced by Durham College will become a key part of the ACCC’s marketing strategy around the C-EFE initiative. Greg Murphy, dean of the school of media, art and design at Durham College, says the documentary will be a great showcase of his students’ skills. “As a college, we are really grateful to have this opportunity to show what our students can do and to be able to put them on stage,” said Mr. Murphy. “Everyone in Durham Region, across Ontario, all across the coun- try and internationally can see what Durham College students from the school of Media, Art and Design are capable of doing.” The international office at Durham College is preparing the team for the travel expe- rience. Fiona Richards, executive director for international education, is tasked with attracting foreign students and internation- alizing the college. She said such opportuni- ties enable the faculty and students to gain some kind of global experience, beyond interacting with international students in the school corridors. As the team travels, a group of five stu- dents at home will curate a microsite docu- menting the progress of the project, conduct live interviews with the travelling team on the college’s station, RIOT Radio, and help develop related content for Durham College courses. Mr. Gauvreau is excited about the different elements of the project he will be producing, from the primary video through to the daily traveller blogs. “This is a big opportunity for everyone involved and for me too personally. I’m look- ing forward to the pressure of working with a real-world client and potentially exceeding their expectations,” he said. The team leaves for the first trip on Jan. 26, returning Feb. 2. The second trip will be from Feb. 11 to 19. More information on the project is available on Twitter at the hashtag #projectcaribbean and at www.durhamcol- lege.ca. -- Manjula Selvarajah is a third-year Dur- ham College student studying print and broadcast journalism.

An investigator with the Office of the Fire Marshal arrived on the scene “and he’s working with our investigator,” Chief Douglas said. The cause and damage estimate won’t be known until Wednesday, he noted. “There were no injuries anywhere, so that’s a good story,” Chief Douglas said. Earlier in the day, the chief said firefight- ers were called in response to a “probable methane explosion in the building used for odour control.” Durham Regional Police Sergeant Nancy van Rooy says several 911 calls came in at around 9:20 a.m. reporting a “large explo- sion” at a building on McKay Road. “It appears everyone is accounted for,” she said, noting callers said the roof was blown off the building. Mr. Curtis noted the plant continues to operate normally.PICKERING -- Emergency crews were called to the Duffin Creek sewage treatment plant for a probable methane explosion in the building used for odour control.

Te lecommunications and related facilities are regulated by the Federal Government (specifically Industry Canada) under the Radiocommunications Act.Proponents of wireless facilities are required to consult with local governments and the public as part of the approval process for proposed antenna installations prior to construction.Industry Canada encourages local governments to develop their own protocols, for the consideration of antenna system installations, because of their local knowledge and because local governments are very well qualified to explain to proponents the particular amenities, sensitivities, planning priorities and other relevant characteristics of their municipality. In response, the City Development Department has prepared a draft protocol for Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems (Cell To wer Protocol) which was presented to City Council on December 9, 2013. City Council has provided direction to the City Development Department to seek input from the residents of Pickering and other stakeholders on the draft protocol. A copy of the draft protocol and feedback form is available at the City’s website pickering.ca/CTP. The deadline to submit comments is January 31, 2014.

Sandy Freake, an Oshawa resident who just took part in last weekend’s Walk for Memories hosted by the Durham College and University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology Wellness Centre, provided a touch- ing insight into the journey her family took with her mother, Luzia Carvalho, and her 12-year battle with dementia associated with Alzheimer’s. Ms. Carvalho died last October at age 71. The Freake family’s experience in dealing with the disease and caring for their moth- er as it progressed, took a toll. Family mem- bers had to strike a difficult balance of pro- viding care while raising their own families, working at their jobs and living their lives. Their family, like so many others touched by Alzheimer’s and dementia, relied to an extent on the services provided by the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region, the charity that benefits from the annual Walk for Memories. Patients with the disease and families struggling to cope can avail them- selves of such services as support groups, individual staff supports through face-to- face, phone or e-mail discussions, refer- rals to available community services, work- shops to learn coping and living strategies, and public education programs. Taken as a whole, the system combines to make extremely challenging family situ- ations more manageable, especially as the disease progresses. All of these efforts and programs require funding. Some come from agencies such as the United Way, but the generosity of mem- bers of the public who support charitable initiatives such as the Walk for Memories are critical to their existence. Currently, the focus is on early diagnosis to provide some relief. For some people, the earlier they can begin taking medication to mitigate the effects of Alzheimer’s the more effective the treatment is. Local statistics indicate that up to 8,500 Durham Region residents are currently living with Alzheim- er’s or dementia, a number expected to grow substantially in the coming years. In that context, Alzheimer’s has the poten- tial to touch each of our lives, either directly or through a family member or friend. Take a moment to think about it, and save a good thought for the Freake family. Give a little today to boost the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region and assist those in need. Confronting gambling issues in Durham According to research from the Respon- sible Gambling Council, one in 10 Ontar- ians report being negatively affected by someone else’s gambling. That works out to approximately 45,750 adults in Durham. RGC research also shows that approxi- mately 3.4 per cent of Ontarians have a moderate to severe gambling problem. In Durham Region, this equates to approxi- mately 15,555 adults. The RGC provides information about how to spot a problem, how people can protect themselves and get help through local resources. A key sign of a gambling problem is ‘chasing losses’, or gambling more to win back what’s been lost. Research by the RGC found that almost 50 per cent of Ontario adults who gambled in the past 12 months exceeded their self- imposed limits. Further, approximately 30 per cent also chased their losses. Signs of a potential problem include: • Hiding bills, past-due notices, winnings or losses. • Neglecting work and personal needs because of gambling. • Increased tension, stress and arguments relating to money. • Getting irritated more easily or having less patience when dealing with normal, every- day activities. • Increased debt, unpaid bills or other finan- cial troubles. If you are the spouse, a family member or friend of a person with a gambling prob- lem, here’s what you can do: • Get informed before you raise the issue. • Negotiate and set firm boundaries. • Take action to protect assets such as joint accounts, credit cards, lines of credit and RRSPs. Durham residents can find help at Pin- ewood Centre, 905-571-3344 ext. 114 or 905-683-5950. The Ontario Problem Gam- bling Helpline is at 1-888-230-3505. -- This column was provided by the Responsible Gambling Council Gaming Guest column Problem gambling Other community images more offensive than abortion sign To the editor: Re: ‘Church abortion sign riles Pickering parents’, news, durhamregion.com, Dec. 17, 2013. Isn’t it strange how much interest there is in an anti-abortion sign? Funny, I’ve been teaching 25 years and I don’t know many six-year-old kids who can even read that word. Maybe children are smarter in Pickering. These parents should worry more about the adult sex shop and its window mural at Whites and Kingston roads. I find these images far more offensive and damaging to the self-esteem of young minds. Maybe those parents so concerned should try a public school. Louise Twydell Pickering Getting a glimpse of the real picture I have been fortunate enough to get away to a cabin up north for the past few days. I have been even luckier in that the cabin has an enormous window fronting the fro- zen lake and wilderness beyond. No televi- sion in the world, no satellite or cable feed, no motion picture silver screen could possi- bly serve up the entertainment this window on the natural world has given me. I spend hours sitting, gazing out, watching story after story unfold. The sky alone is infinitely fascinating as it reveals, cloud by cloud, pas- tel shade by pastel shade, the mood of the evolving day. There is enormous drama in simply observing the sun beginning to light the world. The expanse of the ice is so white and the edge of the advancing sunlight so crisp it feels as though we have been in a box all night and someone is slowly lifting the lid. At sunset the scene replays itself in magnifi- cent reverse, the icy blue indigo of the win- ter night slowly cloaking the fading embers of the sun. We hear and use the word every day in a hundred inappropriate ways but this, truly, is awesome ... dude. There is an equal amount of pleasure to be taken from the smaller, closer world outside the glass. I have heard that no two snow- flakes are the same but it never occurred to me, until I sat and watched a squall play itself out, that there were so many different kinds of snow. From the downy, eyelash- coating variety to the angry, dangerous, I will bury you, kind. Mother Nature batting her eyes and baring her teeth in the same storm. It is breathtaking and terrifying in the same moment. And, of course, there is, among the trees and drifts and deadfall, an entire world of flying, darting, scuttling creatures. Every one of which is fully engaged in a knife- edge struggle to survive as I sit, comfortably ensconced by the fire, sipping coffee laced with Baileys, my bare feet propped on the windowsill. Two hilariously animated red squirrels entertain my girlfriend Kathryn and me for hours as they scurry from cover to cover, frantically engaged in both seeking food and trying desperately not to be food. As much as we enjoy watching them, they seem to be fascinated by us too, occasionally popping out from beneath the cottage onto the drifts directly in front of our window and staring, a comical look of both WTF and OMG on their twitching, whiskered faces. These encounters are short-lived how- ever; we barely get to say hi before an omi- nously circling shadow, twitching branch or the wet noses of the dogs pressed to the window sends them hysterically off to the nearest shelter; frenzied, furry commuters late for a train. I’m not certain why this window and its show are so appealing. I can and do sit and watch the world occasionally at home. The allure, I think, lies in a matter of scale. The world outside the cabin seems vast, wild, even dangerous. At home everything seems tamer, more orderly, understandable. And the sky never seems as boldly huge as it does over a frozen lake. It makes me feel small. And in a world where so much of our time and effort is spent in trying to make ourselves, homes and bank accounts larger ... there is a kind of relief in seeing the real picture now and then. -- 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 • Ja n u a r y 2 2 , 2 0 1 4 7 10 Canadian storms APAll this blustery, cold, snowy winter weather makes me think:Poll Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Let’s Talk Join us on Facebook and weigh in with readers on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham BE CAREFUL OUT THERE: An SUV driv- er whose vehicle broke through the ice on Frenchman’s Bay in Pickering on the week- end took a drubbing from most commenters on Facebook. Although there were some who defended the decision, most were, to put it mildly, less than kind in their responses... Casper Leal: Has nothing to do with being careful has to do with being intelligent... thankfully no one was hurt from this person’s stupidity. Steve Rowland: It’s a Jeep thing. You wouldn’t under- stand. Donna Noble: We saw a jeep on the highway in Michi- gan last winter with the “it’s a jeep thing” on the bumper. On our way back we saw the same jeep in the ditch. Lol. Guess we don’t understand stupid. Chris Roach: There are always a few cowboys that just don’t know how to ride. Andrea Hutchings-Raymond: Shame on all of you that called this person an idiot ... it was the wrong decision... like all of u have never tried something risky or daring with the assump- tion that everything would be ok. It was a wrong decision doesn’t make this person any more stupid than the people calling them names ... and we question where the children get the bullying from...we all have to take responsibility for our actions... Jason Kerr: It’s great that everyone has an opinion on this, it’s even greater to think that this person is the only person out there who would have a lapse in judgment and make a mistake... Sarah Winkel: Who in their right mind would do this? Even if the ice was consid- ered safe and was thick I would never drive my car out onto it.

Many may also be asking for some extra cash to in the New Year. Key findings of the poll include: 69 per cent of parents say they gave money to help with school or living expenses when the school year started in September. 47 per cent say their children in college or university have asked for more money since the start of the school year. The average amount parents say they have sent to their children in school is $1,246 so far this school year. Cash was the most common method parents used to give money to their children (47 per cent). Electronic transfers accounted for 25 per cent. Sharing a joint account accounted for 11 per cent. School Expenses Impact Parent Finances: 60 per cent of polled parents with kids under 25 say the funds they have used to help their children with education costs were intended to help fund their own retirement. 36 per cent believe they will need to delay their retirement as a result. Average amounts parents have given to their children this school year: Ont. $1,408; Que. $874; Atlantic $1,169; National Average $1,246. 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 • Ja n u a r y 2 2 , 2 0 1 4 8 AP How Jim Crosby lost 178 pounds and changed his life Judi Bobbitt jbobbitt@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Jim Crosby of Oshawa isn’t quite the man he used to be. And for that, he’s grateful. Describing himself as a “completely new person with a second chance,” the 53-year-old husband and father of two is happy to talk about how he lost an incredible 178 pounds in just 14 months, and changed his life. Back in May 2012, when he started his journey to transforma- tion, he expected to lose weight and slim down. And he did, but along the way he discovered the process gave him much more than a new physique. “It’s changed everything.” He was 400 pounds at his highest weight ever, “a prisoner of my own routine.” After changing his job to eliminate a lengthy commute time and getting his finances in order, he says he ran out of excuses not to do “the third thing. One morning I woke up and it just clicked. I couldn’t think of a good reason not to. I was tired of being tired.” He signed up at the Har- vey Brooker Weight Loss for Men program in Toronto, where the focus is on making healthy food choices, eating regular meals, keeping a food journal and support group meet- ings. In the first week, he lost eight pounds. Five weeks in, he had dropped 43 pounds, and found he had extra energy. It was at that point he began to exercise at the Oshawa Leg- ends Centre. “That took off, and all summer I couldn’t get up there enough.” At his starting weight -- 367 pounds when he enrolled with Harvey Brooker -- he was consuming 5,000 calories a day. His new, healthy eat- ing habits have him taking in 2,000 to 2,200 calories a day, and “I’m not starving. I was never hungry.” He now eats healthy food every three hours, and doesn’t miss pizza and wings. “We crave what we eat,” he explains, saying he now craves fruits and vegetables. As his body changed, he began to notice other changes, too. “You feel better about yourself, more confident,” he enthuses. “My eyes used to be on the ground. Now I smile more ... my personality changed more than anything.” Being able to buy clothes at “regular” stores for the first time, he says, is “hard to put into words. It’s so empowering. I’ve got my life back.” He discovered he could fit comfortably into seats at the theatre -- where he no longer buys popcorn and pop. There was more room for him behind the steering wheel of his car. He went to a concert at Massey Hall in April, and ran into some golfing buddies he hadn’t seen since the previous Sep- tember. They didn’t know who he was. “I’ve created a bucket list now,” he laughs, rattling off some of the things he enjoys -- skiing, white water rafting, walking, ultimate frisbee, hockey and skating, “everything we did in our 20s and 30s.” He’s starting to play guitar now. Most importantly, there were health benefits. He went from suffering from severe sleep apnea to being able to do away with his CPAP breathing machine at night with his doctor’s blessing, and now sleeps just fine. His cholesterol and bloodwork numbers, “borderline” before, are “normal for the first time ever.” His job now is to maintain his weight, and he speaks at Harvey Brooker and encourages others in an effort to pay it forward. In hindsight, he now realizes how low his self esteem was as a heavyset man who used to make self-deprecating jokes and refer to him- self as Santa Claus. “This is a second chance, I’m not going to blow it,” he says firmly. “I’m not going back to what I was. There is no amount of money that would make me go back to that again.” He doesn’t hesitate when asked what advice he would offer anyone just starting out on a weight-loss journey. “Don’t wait. Don’t think about it, just do it. It’s the best gift you could give yourself. Don’t procrasti- nate.” Stories of Inspiration will appear monthly in 2014.

Durham police confirmed the incident and referred to it as a “case of misadventure.” A police official said no charges have been laid. Social media users in Durham Region were quick to weigh in on the mishap on Facebook, but without much sympathy. “There are always a few cowboys that just don’t know how to ride,” noted user Chris Roach. Police say there were no injuries related to the inci- dent. PICKERING -- A vehicle went through the ice on Frenchman’s Bay Saturday afternoon.

Slapped with a 13-game suspension resulting from a post-game verbal con- frontation at the referee’s dressing room on Jan. 3, Galati was able to get that number reduced to 10 following a hearing last week. He’s been in the stands, and not behind the bench, for seven of them, all losses, as the Panthers have now dropped eight straight. “It’s so frustrating any time you’re sit- ting and watching your team,” he said after watching from afar as the Panthers lost 5-4 on home ice Friday to Newmarket and 6-3 in Trenton on Sunday. “The time of the year just makes it worse. Especially when you come off a streak like we had before the suspension, winning nine of 10 games. I feel bad for the boys. They’re working hard but it’s been a tough time, a tough month so far.” The Panthers closed out 2013 on an incredible run with nine wins in 10 games, and even in the loss collected a point in the shootout. But since the turn of the calen- dar into January, they have picked up just one point in the past eight games, coming from a shootout loss. Friday they fell behind to Newmarket 2-0 by the midway point of the first peri- od and played catch up throughout, falling just short in the 5-4 loss. Mike Nedoszyt- ko scored twice, with one each to Michael Walker and Brodie Tutton. Things started out better on Sunday in Trenton, up 3-1 going into the third on goals by Robert Cammalleri, Nedoszyt- ko and Tutton. But Trenton scored five straight over the final 16:08 of the game, one on the power play and the final into an empty net in the 6-3 loss. While the collapse has been hard to watch, from Galati’s view high in the stands, his team isn’t playing that much differently than when they were winning. “There’s not a lot going wrong. It’s just the bounces. The boys are working hard,” he said. “Sunday we were up 3-1 in Tren- ton and a couple of bounces that we didn’t get that we were getting before the holi- days. “Along with not having their coach around has taken its toll on the team a lit- tle bit. That (winning) streak was good for us that if we can come out of this with a few points, we’ll be OK.” The comfortable gap the Panthers were holding for a playoff spot in the North- East Conference has dwindled as a result of the eight-game losing streak. They still maintain seventh, but are just two points up on eighth-place Newmarket and five on ninth-place Stouffville, who have two games in hand. “It’s been a tough time but we’re five points in a playoff spot and not five points out and I think that’s the way we have to look at it,” reasoned Galati. “A few points here and there, when we get into Febru- ary our schedule gets a little easier, we can solidify a spot in the next few weeks.” Things won’t get any easier this week- end for the Panthers (17-19-3-2), who host Cobourg (29-7-1-4) on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex, and make the short trip to Whitby (28-11-1-2) on Sunday for a 2:10 p.m. start at the Iro- quois Park Sports Centre. PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers’ Mike Nedoszytko and Newmarket’s Adam Smith battled for the puck in an Ontario Junior Hockey League game at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Newmarket won 5-4. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Justin Gordon invited to pro soccer combine OSHAWA -- UOIT men’s soccer player Justin Gordon has been selected to attend the United Soccer League draft combine from Jan. 24-26 at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Now in its eighth year, the USL Pro Combine provides an opportunity for the elite men’s soccer players to showcase their talents for both the domestic and inter- national scouts and professional coaches. Gordon joined the Ridgebacks in the 2010-11 season. The Pickering native was a 2012 OUA all-star as well as the 2011 UOIT offensive player of the year. He has played in four seasons totalling 63 games and is UOIT’s all-time leading scorer. The Ridgebacks senior is known for his speed and tenacity on the field. Gordon will have three days to prove his potential in a professional atmosphere. Playing competitive soccer for so long, Gordon knows how important his prepara- tion will be and is extremely excited for his journey. “I am ecstatic to have received this invitation from the USL draft combine,” said Gordon. “Although my goal of ultimate success is not completed, it is still a really good start in my eyes. With this opportuni- ty, I can finally pursue my dreams of taking my career to the final level.” Gordon has the support of his team- mates and coaches as he embarks on this opportunity of a lifetime. Head coach Vaso Vujanovic is confident in Gordon’s skills and overall ability. “Justin has developed into a strong offensive player while working with the Ridgeback program for four years. He was a key contributor to our team and we wish him all the best with the combine.” 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 • Ja n u a r y 2 2 , 2 0 1 4 23 PHunter Smith has come a long way with Oshawa Generals Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The shortest shift that Hunter Smith took on Sun- day afternoon might have been his most rewarding. It came after the game, with many of the 5,191 fans at the GM Centre making their way to the exits and both teams hav- ing returned to their respective dressing rooms. As part of the post-game celebration following a 5-2 victory over the Sarnia Sting, Smith was named the game’s first star, taking the customary skate to acknowledge the fan’s support. It was a deserving selection for the six-foot-six, 210-pound power forward, who had a tidy afternoon with two goals and an assist. His three points eclipsed his career point total in two previous sea- sons, scoring just once and add- ing one assist in 45 games with both the Windsor Spitfires and Oshawa Generals. This season he has 11-16-27 numbers in 41 games, converting his value from suspect to a pros- pect. “He’s a team-first guy that works on his game every day,” said head coach D.J. Smith. “I think per- sonally he might be the most improved player in our league. Coming from last year where he didn’t play to being a major part of one of our top lines, (playing on the) power play. “As well, he’s probably one of the toughest guys in the league. He’s a guy I’m sure NHL teams are looking at.” And that statement probably best exemplifies how far Smith’s game has come in the past two seasons. A second-round draft choice, 39th overall, by Wind- sor in 2011, Smith appeared in just 15 games as a rookie, scor- ing once. Acquired by the Gen- erals just prior to the 2012 sea- son in a trade that included for- mer General Emerson Clark and some draft picks, Smith played 30 games last season, registering just one assist. In his defence, an injury after being cut by a skate kept him out of the lineup for sig- nificant time. This season his play has stoked the interest of some NHL scouts, and he was ranked 140th at the midterm. The recognition has helped his confidence. “I’ve taken massive strides in my game,” he said. “That just came from hard work in the summer. It’s kind of humbling just being on that list. I definitely appreciate just being on there.” His first goal of the game in the second period was typical of what you would expect from a player his size. He corralled a rebound from a point shot, out- reaching and outmuscling a Sar- nia defenceman in from of the net, and scored on a backhand. “I have to own the front of the net every night,” he said of play- ing his game. “I’m such a big body that a lot of D aren’t going to be able to control me out there. I have to use my size to my advan- tage every opportunity I get. “We work on that in practice everyday, burying pucks in there tight. It was nice to see it translate on to the ice.” His second of the game, which stood as the winner, came in the third period to put the Generals up for good at 3-2. Following the play in over the Sarnia blue-line, he let a laser of a slapshot go from the top of the circle that blew past Sarnia goalie Taylor Dupuis high on the block side. He got all of it. “It was a great drop pass by Brad,” Smith said in crediting Bradley Latour, who had a pro- ductive game as well, finishing with four assists. “I just ripped it. Buried my head and took it and hoped for the best. It was nice to see it go in.” The Generals padded the lead later in the period, Michael Dal Colle scoring on a five-minute power play to make it 4-2 with under five minutes to go, and Josh Brown blasting a slapshot from centre that went into an empty Sarnia net with just eight seconds to go. Cole Cassels had the other goal for the Generals in the first period, tying the game 1-1 at the time. The Generals are back in action Wednesday in Belleville, will host Peterborough on Friday at 7 p.m. and Erie on Sunday at 6:05 p.m. OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals forward Hunter Smith tried to deflect the puck past Sarnia Sting goalie Taylor Dupuis during first-period Ontario Hockey League action at the General Motors Centre. The Gens beat the Sting 5-2. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Carrier of the We ek Congratulations Hannah for being our Carrier of the Week. 279 Kingston Rd. E.,Ajax 260 Kingston Rd.

The team pulled off its first vic- tory of the season in round-robin play and, after putting a scare into the eventual champions, quali- fied for the bronze-medal game. The bronze-medal game was a nailbiter. The Panthers staked themselves to a 3-0 lead early in the third period. The Port Cred- it team refused to roll over and stormed back with two goals to get within one with five min- utes remaining. With just over two minutes left and a Pickering penalty and a pulled goalie, the Panthers had to fight off a six-on- four man advantage to finish the game. With the same determina- tion the boys showed all tourna- ment, along with incredible goal- tending, they were able to with- stand the onslaught and win the bronze medal. This tournament has been oper- ating for 16 years and attracts top teams from all over the Great- er Toronto Area. It is run out of the MasterCard Centre, the practice facility for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the boys had a great time watching Randy Car- lyle put the Leafs through their paces prior to the outdoor clas- sic in Detroit. Several members of the team also met players and received autographs. The team consists of goal- ies Adam Croteau and Chris- tian Dower, and players Joshua Jones, Mackenzie Peckford, Con- nor Pestell, Jakob Porter, Mat- thew McDonald, Sebastian Dech- ene, Sameer Saleem, Charlie Per- ryman, Matthew Philpot, Tyler Hayes, Trevor Lee, Liam Carey, Aidan Balluch, Bryan Bertrand, Noah Marshall, Jonathan Car- die and Luke Robert.
