AjAxOpticAl The Animal Guardian Society donates oxygen masks to help save pets in Pickering fires Newest Pickering fire truck can now save small, medium and large pets suffering from smoke inhalation Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Dominic Browne has saved more than one pet’s life in his time fighting fires. “It’s a fantastic feeling,” says the Pickering Fire Services platoon chief. He’s revived both dogs and cats that had suffered from smoke inhalation over the years, but in those times, he used an oxy- gen mask made for humans. He was on hand for The Animal Guard- ian Society’s donation to the fire depart- ment of a pet oxygen mask kit on Feb. 4. “These masks will assist animals in an emergency situation, before veterinary care can be accessed,” says Kathy Asling, president of TAGS. “By equipping Picker- ing’s newest fire truck with a kit, we hope to help save the lives of animals who are affected by a tragic event such as a fire.” Deputy Fire Chief Jason Yoshida says the department is more than happy to carry the kits. “They’re a vital tool,” he says. “It defi- nitely improves our service delivery when it includes peoples’ pets.” Pickering’s other fire trucks are already equipped with pet oxygen mask kits. “Pets are often on the scene in emergen- cy situations, and like humans, they are susceptible to health risks that arise from a fire,” says Fire Chief John Hagg. “This donation will greatly support our efforts in saving a pet during an emergency.” Each kit contains three reusable masks, appropriately sized for small animals such as cats, small dogs, and pets with short snouts like ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs and birds; medium-sized animals between 20 and 25 pounds; and large dogs 50 pounds and heavier. “They’re versatile,” says Mr. Browne. “You can use them for all animals.” While humans are a priority when responding to a fire, pets are always on the back of his mind. “Pets are a part of the family,” says Mr. Browne. “We will always do our best to save them.” Mr. Yoshida says Pickering fire will res- cue pets when they fall through ice too. “If we have an opportunity to rescue it, we will,” he says. Pet owners should let firefighters know if pets are inside when they arrive on a fire scene to better their chances of saving them, says Mr. Brown.

The governments of Canada and Ontario, along with Metrolinx, recently announced the new lot on Brock Road at Hwy. 407. Beginning Feb. 9, it will provide com- muters with 334 parking spaces as well as a pick-up and drop-off area. Also, GO bus route 51B (Pickering/York Universi- ty) and route 52 (Oshawa/York Universi- ty) will serve the lot, giving commuters a quick and easy way to share their ride and connect to GO Transit. Pickering-Uxbridge MP Jennifer O’Connell said safe and reliable public transit makes communities livable, sus- tainable and prosperous. “This park and ride and carpool lot will provide commuters, students and fam- ilies with better access to public tran- sit and encourage carpooling which will help reduce traffic congestion across the region,” she said. The $7-million project was funded by the Government of Canada and the Prov- ince of Ontario through the GO Transit Improvement Program.

Marco Muzzo likely faces years behind bars, but arriving at the appropriate sentence requires consideration of factors beyond the desire of some observers for harsh punish- ment, said Oshawa criminal lawyer Bernie O’Brien. “This is going to be a very difficult one,” Mr. O’Brien said. “The basic principle involved in a case in which death ensues is not ret- ribution; it is denunciation. So the public knows: if you commit an offence like this, the penalty is severe.” Mr. Muzzo, 29, pleaded guilty earlier this month to impaired driving causing death in relation to a crash last September in York Region that killed siblings Harrison, Milly and Daniel Neville-Lake and their grandfa- ther Gary Neville. Justice Michelle Fuerst will hear submissions on sentencing Feb. 23. In crafting the sentence, the judge will con- sider the horrific outcome of the crash and Mr. Muzzo’s culpability. Rulings from similar cases will be available as a guide, but there’s no definitive template to follow, Mr. O’Brien said. “Each individual is sentenced as an indi- vidual,” he said. The circumstances of the Muzzo case are particularly vexing: On the morning of the fatal crash, the 29-year-old Mr. Muzzo, a member of a wealthy family, with a fondness for sports cars, had landed at Pearson air- port on a private jet from Miami and was well over the legal limit for impairment when his SUV sailed through a stop sign and collided with a van carrying the victims. “The optics in this case, I don’t think they could get much worse,” Mr. O’Brien said. That said, there are mitigating factors for the judge to consider: Mr. Muzzo is a first- time offender with no criminal record. He has admitted his guilt; his lawyer has expressed the remorse his client feels. And when the sentencing hearing occurs, Mr. Muzzo will be given the opportunity to say as much himself. Those words will likely be countered by victim impact statements from the devas- tated family, notably Jennifer Neville-Lake, the mother of the children who also lost her father in the crash. Ms. Neville-Lake has spoken eloquently in the past of the horror and heartbreak she and her husband have endured, and her views will likely factor into the judge’s considerations, Mr. O’Brien said. Mr. Muzzo could have spent some of his family’s considerable resources fighting the charges by challenging evidence gath- ered by the police, but that’s getting tougher to do as investigative techniques improve, Mr. O’Brien said. Typically when a case like this gets to the courtroom, prosecutors are armed with compelling evidence of guilt, and it is difficult to mount effective challeng- es. “They do a tremendous job in this day and age,” he said. “”The general level of investi- gations has picked up; the quality has been exponentially greater over the years. These cases are difficult to defend, and so they should be. Society demands that.” Page 6 - Today’s editorial Past cases show prison term likely for drunk driving causing death Charges of impaired driving causing death typically result in penitentiary terms, as a sample of some high-profile cases shows. • Last October, Sabastion Prosa, 22, was sentenced to five years in prison for a crash that killed a man and his daughter in Toron- to. Mr. Prosa was drunk and driving the wrong way on the QEW when the crash occurred in August 2012. • In 2009, Matthew Junkert was sentenced to five years for killing a jogger while driving drunk in Richmond Hill. He appealed, but his sentence was upheld. • Andrew Kummer was speeding and had twice the legal limit of alcohol in his blood when he crashed his pickup in London in 2009, killing three people. His eight-year penitentiary term was upheld by the Ontario Court of Appeal in 2010. • In 2009, a judge in Quebec sentenced Roger Walsh, who had 19 previous drunk driving convictions, to life in prison for an impaired crash that killed a woman in a wheelchair. • In 2008, a judge in Alberta declined to declare Charles Yellowknee, who was drunk when he killed a woman and her three daughters in a crash, a dangerous offender, instead sentencing him to 10 years. • In 2009, a judge sentenced Michael Hol- liday of Bowmanville to three and a half years in prison for a drunk driving crash in Oshawa that killed Pat Gostlin, a well-known teacher who also ran as a Green Party candidate. • Christopher Dubreuil, 29, of Cobourg was sentenced to four years in prison for killing a 23-year-old woman while speeding and driving impaired on Rama Road in Orillia in 2011.

Part 1 looked at the concerns. Part 2 discusses how to spark change. People in Durham are work- ing together to help improve the region’s most vulnerable neigh- bourhoods. The Building on Health in Priority Neighbourhoods report by the Region of Durham’s health department identifies seven low-income neighbourhoods rank- ing poorly compared to 43 others in Dur- ham in areas pertaining to health. Downtown Whitby, Downtown Ajax, Downtown Oshawa and the Oshawa neighbourhoods of Lakeview, Gibb West, Central Park and Beatrice North make up the list. The report is intended to inspire change. “Priority Neighbourhoods is really the top of discussion as to what we’re going to do, how we’re going to do work in the communities,” says Regina Elliott, Dur- ham’s manager of public health nursing and nutrition. The Region plans to work with commu- nity partners and develop strategies on how to work together, specifically to focus on children and youth. “The other thing is to engage with the people within these communities them- selves because we feel they probably have the best ideas on how to improve health in these communities,” says Durham Region epidemiologist Mary-Anne Pietrusiak. Paula Carter, the Oshawa Communi- ty Health Centre’s resource development and communications manager, represents an organization that is using the informa- tion to focus on areas that need attention. She notes many organizations do great work in Durham. “Collectively we’re trying to find ways to make our population healthier and I think that only results in good things at the end of the day and I think we’re much further than we were 10 years ago,” she says. Ms. Carter notes dental care is one of the fundamentals of good health, but a check- up or a cleaning gets pricey. Durham’s health department sends an oral team to CHC periodically and the health centre runs a casual clinic itself. “It is something that a lot of families can’t access but certainly something we’d like to develop a little more of because there’s a need for that for sure,” she says. The CHC was also recently given the green light to start a youth and mental health program. “Those are positives I see coming our way,” says Ms. Carter. CHC runs many other programs, includ- ing Community Kitchen, teaching how to cook nutritious food on a budget. Bowmanville resident Amanda Rolson and Cathy DeJong of Oshawa are enjoying the program and others at CHC. Both feel more programs for youth and job training opportunities in Durham would be beneficial. Since Ms. Rolson puts her kids first, it’s hard to focus on her- self and she’d like access to more afford- able fitness programs. “You don’t want your kid to be the only one not getting,” she says. The Town of Whitby submitted a grant proposal to the Province following the report, for a youth community outreach program in the White Oaks apartment buildings, part of the Downtown Whitby zone. The Boys and Girls Club of Durham offers a program and drop-in twice a week, but this funding would expand it to four days a week and focus on physical activity. The Town’s report noted only 64 per cent of children in Downtown Whitby live in a child-friendly neighbourhood, compared to the regional average of 79 per cent. The Durham District School Board uses the data too. “What it does for us is it helps us focus our initiatives and look at how we can enhance our partnerships with the com- munity and finetune and expand some of the programs we’re already offering,” says superintendent Lisa Millar. The Make a Difference Program, for example, was launched by the board in 2013 in select Oshawa elementary schools to ensure that young children have access to programs and opportunities that can address the impacts of poverty on stu- dents’ development and long-term suc- cess. Also, many schools in the prior- ity neighbourhoods offer commu- nity hubs, where people can gath- er to learn about a variety of topics, receive multiple supports and ser- vices, stay active and participate in activities delivered by community partners. Oshawa Councillor Amy McQuaid-England isn’t pleased that the school board is clos- ing Oshawa Central Colle- giate Institute, an asset in the Lakeview neighbourhood. “That’s the last thing that neigbourhood needs,” she says. She plans to use the Region’s data to start indi- vidual projects in the pri- ority neighbourhoods, such as community gar- dens. Priority Neighbourhoods is really the top of discussion as to what we’re going to do, how we’re going to do work in the communities. -- Regina Elliott Improving health, well being in Durham HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • The average median after-tax income in Durham is $70,100. The average in the priority neigh- bourhoods ranges from $32,500 in Downtown Oshawa to $52,700 in Central Park. • Teenage pregnancy, hepati- tis C, obesity and dental decay are among the indicators used in the Building on Health in Priority Neighbourhoods report • On top of health and well-being concerns, these neighbour- hoods have many community assets such as libraries, parks, community centres and schools, which can be built upon to make improvements Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland WHITBY — The apartment buildings on White Oaks Court are located in a part of Whitby that has some of the lowest income levels in Durham. The Region of Durham’s report, Building on Health in Priority Neighbourhoods, identifies seven neighbourhoods that require focus to build on health and well-being. “ Part 2 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 • Fe b r u a r y 1 8 , 2 0 1 6 11 P Nest Wealth Traditional and hard to understand investment fees could be costing you up to 30% of your potential wealth. * Visit nestwealth.com ©Copyright 2016 Nest Wealth Asset Management Inc.“Nest Wealth”is the trade name of Nest Wealth Asset Management Inc.

Organizers are hoping that up to 30 teams will challenge for the seventh annual Lake Scugog Pond Hockey Char- ity Tournament crown on Feb. 21 when the fundraiser returns to the ice in front of Port Perry Marina. The event was originally scheduled for Jan. 30, but ice conditions on Lake Scu- gog prompted organizers to postpone the fundraiser until later in February. Teams of up to six players will compete in three-on-three games played on rinks throughout the day, starting at 8:30 a.m. Each team will be guaranteed at least three games, with playoff participants to be decided that day. Cash prizes and medals will be awarded to the winning teams. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. Games will be 30 minutes in length and refereed by volunteers. There will be no goalies and the puck cannot be raised above the ice surface. There is a $360 entry fee for each team. Unlike in past years, there will be only a single division for participants. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be passed along to the Ontario Volunteer Emergency Response Team (OVERT), which is now co-ordinating the annu- al tournament, as well as the Jennifer Ashleigh Children’s Charity. The goal of the event is to raise funds for local charities who do not receive government funding, explained Dale Stevenson, OVERT’s deputy co-ordina- tor. “This fits our niche perfectly because we wanted to do something for a chil- dren’s charity,” she said. To date, the tournament has raised more than $70,000, which has been used to support the Scugog library expansion, Autism Ontario, Precious Minds and the Durham Dragons hockey team. Teams from across Durham Region are expected to take part in the tournament. For those who prefer to stay put on fro- zen ground, there will be a silent auc- tion, various skills contests and other activities for spectators. Coffee will be provided by Tim Hortons. Donations for the silent auctions and sponsors for the annual fundraising tournament are still being sought. The Port Perry Marina is at 215 Water St. For more information about the tour- nament or to volunteer or sponsor the event, visit www.scugogpondhockey. com or e-mail pondhockey@overt.ca.

DURHAM -- The tough guys of the Oshawa Generals are speaking up about mental health at the Wednesday, Feb. 24 game, in partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association Durham. The Gens home game will include videos featuring hockey players talking about the importance of mental health, announce- ments about mental health and CMHA Dur- ham representatives dropping the puck. CMHA Durham -- a community mental health and primary care centre providing mental health services to Durham Region -- will have a kiosk at the game so fans can learn more about mental health. The awareness effort is part of the ongo- ing Talk Today campaign -- a partnership between the Ontario Hockey League and CMHA Ontario to provide mental health support to players and raise awareness about mental health and suicide through- out OHL communities. Every OHL team received mental health training specific to suicide awareness and each team is also now linked to a CMHA mental health coach, who provides support and resources. Tickets are available, starting from $19, for the Gens game on Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 7:05 p.m. at the General Motors Centre, 99 Athol St E. in Oshawa.

An actor who has performed in Whitby, Pickering and further afield, it seems natural that his first effort at a full- length work is a play. But it took a deeply personal experi- ence for him to put in the hard work to bring it to the stage. The result is Best Friends, a “very auto- biographical” romantic comedy which premieres on Feb. 25 in Oshawa and runs to March 5 at the Dnipro Ukraini- an Cultural Centre in Oshawa. “My play was inspired by the loss of my own dog,” says the Pickering resi- dent. “I was devastated. I’d had him since he was six weeks old.” “I wanted to sort of commemorate his life, and being in the theatre so much, I knew the format to write a play, I just didn’t know if I could write a good play.” As ideas came to him, he would plug them in, until Marks was ready to “workshop it,” let others have a read to see what they thought. He says the reac- tion wasn’t great and admits he took it badly, putting the play on the shelf for a year. Marks then came to his senses: accepting the criticism as input to make the play better, he dove back in, spend- ing almost five years polishing it. Best Friends is the story of two “kin- dred spirits,” Alice and Turner, who have lost their dogs and who help each other move on with their lives. They meet in a strange pub, where Turner is “drowning his sorrows,” and he discov- ers every patron is mourning the loss of their best friend. Marks says the characters are relat- able and he’s been aided by a very experienced cast. Paul Kit of Oshawa plays Turner and Ajax’s Stephanie Kok- tan is Alice. He’s also directing and says it’s “a dream come true” watching the actors bring his words to life for the world pre- miere with Dancyn Productions. “My cast is so open to suggestions,” Marks says. “Everything I’m asking them to do they’re trying and they’re bringing so much themselves to the table.” The Dnipro Centre is at 681 Dnipro Blvd., Oshawa.

ESSENTIALS SERVICEBIKES BRANDS WE CARRY Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS Pickering First Choice Fish & Chips serves up the best in town If you’re looking for the best fish and chips in town, it’s time to head to First Choice Fish & Chips! The owners come from a family with a long tradition in making delicious fish and chips, and have now brought their unique family recipe to Ajax. Their previous restaurants received rave reviews and the new restaurant on Westney Road South is following in that tradition. The secret to their success is their fresh food, cooking techniques and refined recipes. They use 100% vegetable oil to make their meals healthier, use only the highest quality fish and hand cut all of the fish daily. You can taste the difference that using fresh fish makes! Their famous batter is based on an 80 year old recipe from England that has been refined over the years, making it perfect. Customers love that the batter is paper thin, delicately crispy and never greasy. A meal is not complete without chips, and First Choice Fish & Chips shows the same care for their chips as they do with their fish. First, they select the finest potatoes, which they hand cut and fry for just the right amount of time. The results are a flavourful tenderness locked inside a golden crispy shell. Customers are greeted with a cozy atmosphere and a friendly service. During the lunch hour, the restaurant adopts an open kitchen style to ensure that clients receive their orders in a timely manner. Ask about their customer appreciation card, which gives you a free one piece haddock and chips with the purchase of every 10 fish and chips. They also offer delicious sides, including onion rings, poutine, garden salads and Greek salads. You can also opt for seafood and chicken dishes. Despite their generous portion sizes and high quality meal, First Choice Fish & Chips still offers the lowest prices in Durham Region! Take out is also available.

Huether heats up for Generals OT winner, five points helps keep Oshawa even with Hamilton Bulldogs Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — Kenny Huether heated up at just the right time for the Oshawa Generals on Family Day Monday, Feb. 15, helping keep the team even with the Hamilton Bulldogs in the battle for the final playoff spot in the OHL’s Eastern Confer- ence. While the Bulldogs were pull- ing off a 5-4 upset victory over the Kitchener Rangers, Huether and the Generals needed an improbable win of their own, and produced it, coming back from a 4-1 first-period deficit for a 5-4 overtime victory over the Owen Sound Attack before 5,901 fans at the General Motors Centre. Huether assisted on Oshawa’s first three goals, scored the tying goal on the power play with 1:23 remaining in regulation time, and put home the winner 1:30 into overtime, giving him 22 goals and 22 assists in 51 games. Huether’s first goal came on a diving backhand that saw him bat a bouncing puck past Attack goalie Michael McNiven, and the winner on a nice burst down his off wing, the left side, before he patiently fooled both defenceman Jacob Friend and McNiven with a shot. The Generals (20-28-3-4) and Bulldogs (20-28-7-0) remain tied for the eighth and final playoff spot in the conference with 13 games remaining for each. Oshawa and Hamilton both picked up four points last week, the Generals also defeating Peterborough 4-1 while losing 3-0 to Ottawa, and the Bulldogs getting points from overtime losses to Niagara and Peterbor- ough, while letting a big lead slip away in a 7-6 defeat to Bar- rie. Jeremy Brodeur was given the nod for all three games again in goal for the Generals, giv- ing him six straight starts down the stretch despite the deadline acquisition of overager Justin Nichols. In Peterborough Feb. 11, two nights after watching his leg- endary father, Martin, have his number retired by the New Jer- sey Devils, Brodeur turned in an inspiring performance reminis- cent of his old man, making 37 saves and picking up an assist to earn the first star. Brodeur allowed only two goals on 34 shots in defeat against Ottawa and stopped 34 in the overtime win, including all 20 after the first period. The Generals have another stiff challenge ahead next week- end, playing in Kitchener (37- 11-5-0) Friday, Feb. 19 and Bar- rie (34-17-0-2) Saturday before hosting Ottawa (29-24-1-1) Sun- day at 6:05 p.m. GENERALLY SPEAKING: The Generals have yet to produce a win in six games against Otta- wa this season, with two games remaining, including the sea- son finale March 20 … Riley Stillman, Jalen Smereck, Alex- andre Renaud and Domenic Commisso scored in the win over Peterborough … Captain Anthony Cirelli and Lukas Lofquist each had a goal and assist, while defenceman Ste- phen Templeton scored his second of the season against Owen Sound … Whitby’s Matt Mistele, who was traded by the Generals to Sarnia this sea- son, scored five goals in an 11-4 romp over Saginaw that resulted in Spirit coach Greg Gilbert get- ting fired … Hamilton captain Justin Lemcke, also of Whitby, returned to the Bulldogs lineup Feb. 13 after missing more than four months with a broken leg … Former Generals goalie Daniel Altshuller has been called up to the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes for the second time this sea- son to replace an injured Cam Ward . 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 • Fe b r u a r y 1 8 , 2 0 1 6 21 AP *Limitedtimeoffer.Availableateligibleandparticipatingdealersonly.Somerestrictionsapply.Pleaseseeparticipatingdealerfordetails.Financing subjecttocreditapprovalofqualifiedbuyersbyauthorizedBobcatfinanceproviders.Theunittradedinmustbe12yearsoldornewer.Trade-inoffer goodforNEW,neverbeforesoldBobcatskid-steerloadersandall-wheelsteerloadersinUSandCanadaonly.Thetradeallowancerebateisonaone toonebasis.BobcatCompanyreservestherighttodiscontinuethisprogramatanytimewithoutpriornotice.Bobcat®andtheBobcatlogoare trademarksofBobcatCompany.15-B196 OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY Authorized Bobcat Dealer CALL YOUR LOCAL BOBCAT SALESMAN Bobcat of Toronto 241 Deerhurst Drive •Brampton, ON L6T 5K3 416-697-4172 •www.bobcattoronto.com .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY Mentionthisad andget 10% O F F onYOURNEXTBOBCAT PARTSORDER TACBOT BXER NUOY REDR OSTRPA OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC ds aihn toitneM EAST Steve Sarginson 416-451-5329 Ajax, Pickering,Uxbridge, Peterborough,Lindsay, Kawarthas, East Gwillimbury EAST CENTRAL Stu Johnson 647-668-3229 East Toronto, Markham, Stouffville, Scarborough, King City, Aurora, Newmarket WEST CENTRAL Bob Bell 647-668-8405 Brampton, Northeast Etobicoke, Vaughan CENTRAL Gino Cervo 416-909-6597 York, Metro, Vaughan, Richmond Hill WEST Jake Gowland 647-668-5257 Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke The largest stock of Bobcat ®equipment and parts in Eastern Canada0%$2,50060months* FORUP TO CAD Tradeallowance on new Bobcat compact track loaders and excavators*for your used Bobcat loader* The above trademarks are owned by PDM Royalties Limited Partnership used under licence.

SportS Travel is a part of life for many athletes but it can present many challenges for meeting nutritional needs. Whether you’re travelling across the province or just to a neighbouring town, the aim is to arrive ready to perform at your best. It is important to keep nutrition top of mind, to keep you at the top of your game, when travelling out of town for tourna- ments or competitions. Here are my tips for managing your nutri- tion while travelling. When travelling by car, leave room to pack a cooler. Make some ice ahead of time, and seal it in plastic bags in the cool- er. For short trips, pack your own food so you do not have to rely on roadside stops. Include cut up-fruit and veggies in sealed bags. Add a container of dip or hummus. Pre-wash and cut fruit and veggies; seal in small containers. A few 100 per cent juice boxes can help keep you hydrated, but remember, water is your go-to thirst quencher. Include a non-disposable bottle filled with water. Include protein-rich foods in your travel pack like hard-boiled eggs (cook and peel ahead of time), nuts, seeds, trail mix and hemp heats; cheese cubes, pre-cooked sliced chicken and Greek yogurt are all great protein-rich snack options. Be sure to include some whole grain options. Healthy pre- and post-workout snacks should include both a protein- rich food and a carbohydrate source. Add some whole grain crackers, whole wheat pita bread or mini whole wheat bagels. For early morning trips, pack some whole grain cereal in a container and add milk to your list of cooler items. Plan ahead for overnight tournaments and try to book a hotel room with a mini fridge, kettle, toaster and a microwave oven. You can pack the kettle, toaster and a mini blender yourself, if the hotel does not have these. Take extra fruit and yogurt, so you can make smoothies in your room. Pre-made pancakes with fruit and yogurt make a great pre-work out breakfast or snack. Pack the pancakes in a sealed bag, then re-heat in the toaster or microwave oven. Instant (plain) oatmeal, made with milk (in the microwave) or with hot water (kettle) with added fruit and nuts is also a great way to start the day. Hit the dollar store for re-usable plates, bowls, cups and cutlery; add a few napkins, a small container of dish soap and a tea towel. Keep these items in a travel bin, so they are ready to go, every time you hit the road. Create your own go-to cooler shopping list to help you plan and shop for the trip. Training, rest, food and hydration all play a role in athletic performance. Plan ahead to keep your nutrition a priority on your next road trip.

But, they sure haven’t made it easy on themselves. The Dunlops lost their final three games of the regular season to slip from first place to third, and as such will open a best-of-seven semifinal on the road in Brantford Friday, Feb. 19. The Blast (17-5-2) are trending in the opposite direction, winning 10 of their final 11 games to move up and steal home ice from the Dunlops (16-7-1). The Dunlops had control of their own des- tiny heading into the stretch run, but lost 2-1 to the Blast Feb. 6 and then both games on the final weekend, 6-3 at home to Thor- old (11-11-2) and 4-1 in Stoney Creek to the Generals, who ended up in first place with a record of 18-4-2. The most surprising of those defeats came Saturday, Feb. 13 at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre, where the Dunlops outshot the Ath- letics 43-27 but lost after an empty-net goal sealed it. Kyle Ventura opened the scoring and later tied the game 2-2 for the Dunlops before Thorold took control by scoring the next three. Ventura also struck first in Stoney Creek, but the Generals scored the only three of the second period, including two short-handed by Nathan Pageau, to win the key Valentine’s Day match-up. If the regular season is any indication, the Dunlops and Blast should have a close and entertaining semifinal. The Blast won three of the five games, one in a shootout, and each team scored 11 goals, an unusually small number for senior hockey. Ventura led the Dunlops with 18 goals and 34 points in 20 games this season, while Derek Medeiros had 23 goals and 39 points in 24 games for the Blast, finishing fifth in the league behind four Stoney Creek players. The Dunlops will host Game 2 of the series on Saturday, Feb. 20, a 6:30 p.m. start at Iro- quois Park.
