Head injuries still on the rise despite increased awareness and knowledge BY AL RIVETT AND BRIAN McNAIR newsroom@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Much more than Craig Fisher’s hockey career came to an end on Nov. 12, 1999; his life was forever changed. Fisher, a 46-year-old Whitby resi- dent and employee at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, suffered a debilitating brain injury that day while playing in the Ameri- can Hockey League with the Roch- ester Americans, absorbing a clean but hard hit from a Wilkes-Barre opponent, then taking an accidental knee to the head from another play- er before crashing to the ice and hit- ting his head a third time. Suffering what he would later call “the perfect storm of concussions”, Fisher, a third-round NHL draft pick who at the time was leading the AHL with 15 goals in his 17th game, hasn’t played a game of hock- ey since and is still doing his best to cope with the symptoms, which for the first year saw him sleep 20 hours a day and avoid virtually all light and sound. Twice since then, Fisher has been forced out of hockey coaching jobs, first after taking a puck to the head during a Whitby Fury game in 2013, and then again last year when he conceded he wasn’t fit to coach the UOIT Ridgebacks men’s team.

The executive committee approved the plan at the Nov. 14 meeting. The program, which will run from Dec. 1 to Dec. 16, accepts toys or groceries in lieu of payment for parking tickets. Donations must be dropped off at City Hall, and a receipt must be presented to confirm that the value of the donation equals or exceeds the fine. Tickets for parking in a disabled parking space are not eligible for the program. The first Toys for Tickets/Food for Fines program was offered by the City of Pickering in 2009. According to a staff report, participation from the community is always generous and enthusiastic. Last year’s program brought in around $2,500 in donations, as compared to the $1,450 in lost fine revenue. The dona- tions will go to the Durham Regional Police and the Pickering Fire Services food and toy drives. Paint night at Pickering Public Library free for members PICKERING -- Pickering Public Library users can learn painting techniques and even create a piece of art of their own at the upcoming Paint Night. This special event is part of Hobby Nights, which runs out of the auditorium at the central branch every Wednesday night.

Board games are also available for those who would like to play games such as chess, Chinese checkers, Uno and Scrabble. On specified hobby nights, the library hosts programs which have included wine and cheese tasting, jewelry making and now, this. Paint Night will take place on Wednes- day, Nov. 30 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the central library, located at One The Esplanade. Materials will be provided. Registration is required.

Feraidon Ibrahem said the incident was triggered by anxiety and despair over the death of his wife, Nasira Fazli, who died of stab wounds in their Ajax home in the sum- mer of 2013. Ibrahem was being held at the Central East Corrections Centre in Lindsay when he made the suicide attempt a month after his arrest, court heard Tuesday, Nov. 15, his second day on the witness stand. Through an interpreter, the native of Afghanistan said he dismantled a safety razor he’d been given to shave with. “I separated the razor and I stood in front of the mirror and I cut my neck,” Ibrahem said, his voice barely above a murmur. “The wound was really big and I bled a lot.” Ibrahem was rushed to hospital, where he remained for several days, court heard. A month later, jail officials seized medica- tion Ibrahem had hoarded in preparation for another suicide attempt, he testified. Ibrahem said he suffered from long-stand- ing anxiety and depression issues, and he felt sorrow over the death of Fazli, a woman with whom he’d lived for just weeks before her death on July 19, 2013. “I was feeling strong anxiety and strong depression,” he said through the interpreter. “I was also devastated by my wife’s death.” Defence lawyer Fariborz Davoudi spent Monday and Tuesday questioning Ibrahem on his background, touching on his mental health issues and the fractious relationship he shared with Fazli. Ibrahem has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Court has heard the two entered willingly into an arranged marriage in Afghanistan in 2010. Ibrahem finally joined Fazli in Canada in April 2013, but their relationship quickly became strained, court heard: Fazli was dis- enchanted with Ibrahem, writing in her jour- nal he wasn’t the man she’d thought he was. Ibrahem, who was trained as a doctor, was unable to get accreditation in Canada and chafed at what he saw as control being exert- ed over him by his new wife and her family. Testifying in his own defence, Ibrahem acknowledged the tensions in the marriage. Davoudi spent considerable time Mon- day and Tuesday reviewing with Ibrahem the copious notes he kept in journals, refer- ring in one instance to Fazli as a “dangerous woman” who wanted to plumb his “limits”. “My wife wanted to control me and order me around; nobody likes that,” Ibrahem tes- tified. “Me and my wife were sometimes like two kids,” he continued. “Sometimes I had patience; sometimes I didn’t.” The trial continues in Oshawa before Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass and a jury.

Man on trial for murder of Ajax woman testifies he attempted suicide in jail Man armedwith knife, chain forces way into Durham home BROOKLIN -- A man was taken into custo- dy under the Mental Health Act after forc- ing his way into a home in Brooklin while armed with a knife and chain Monday. No one was injured dur- ing the incident, at a house on Baldwin Street at about 10:30 p.m. Nov. 14, Dur- ham police said. Resi- dents fled the house and asked a passing motorist to call police after a man known to them forced his way into the residence and refused to leave. Cops attempted to negotiate with the man; when that failed, officers with the Tactical Support Unit gained entry to the house and arrested him in an upstairs bed- room, police said. The man, who wasn’t identified, was taken to hospital for an assessment. Submitted photo DURHAM -- Feraidon Ibrahem and Nasira Fazli in 2013.

An Ontario study published in 2014 found the total number of visits for pediatric concussions to emergency departments and physician offices jumped 70 per cent to 14,886 in 2010 from 8,736 in 2003. During that period, the rate per 100,000 population increased to 754 from 467 for boys and to 441 from 209 for girls. A 2013 Canadian study from St. Michael’s Hospital found there were 12,799 team sport brain injuries for kids aged 3-19 iden- tified between 1990 and 2009. Of those inju- ries, hockey accounted for 5,675 or 44.3 per cent. Minimizing the risk of concussions and recognizing them quickly when they do occur is something the Ontario Minor Hockey Association -- the largest minor hockey body in the province -- has been working hard to address. “I think we’ve taken a step forward,” said Kevin Hamilton, the OMHA’s manager of development programs. “I don’t think the issue is completely solved, but we’re mov- ing in the right direction. “Education is the focus,” he continued. “Hockey is a collision sport and there is the potential for injury. Educating the partici- pants and the trainers who know how to respond appropriately when injuries hap- pen. They know where players need to be referred to, to medical professionals when appropriate.” The seriousness of concussions was brought into stark focus by the tragic death of 17-year-old Ottawa athlete Rowan String- er, who suffered a fatal head blow in a high school rugby match in 2013. Her death has brought about the creation of Rowan’s Law for management of youth concussions in Ontario, the first of its kind in Canada. Among the coroner’s 49 recommenda- tions that followed were: making concus- sion awareness mandatory in Ontario’s cur- riculum, the promotion of an annual Brain Day awareness campaign, better tools for coaches and players to identify and treat concussions, and the creation of a expert panel to implement those steps within the next year. Concussions where they pertain to UOIT athletes have resulted in much more vigi- lance and awareness over the past five to seven years for athletic therapist Jessica Salt, with whom Fisher has worked closely in his new role. The therapy staff at the uni- versity are fully versed on concussion pro- tocol, which is an assessment tool to dis- cover an athlete’s level of cognitive or phys- ical impairment following a blow to the head or neck. “We immediately remove them from play and we have a standard set of processes and protocols that we go through that will keep athletes from returning until they are symptom free,” Salt explained. “We have medical staff at all the games and practices, so we tend to catch concussions early on.” While it’s acknowledged athletes are gen- erally more aware of the ramifications of concussions, many still carry the macho mindset of wanting to continue to play after a hit to the head, Salt said. “Absolutely, they will soft-pedal (concus- sion symptoms) because they want to play,” she said. “They identify as an athlete first and because they know what the protocol is, they don’t want anything to keep them out.” A new development in the diagnosis of concussions is a simple blood test which has been developed by a team of doctors and scientists in London. The blood test is reportedly 90 per cent accurate in detecting a concussion within 72 hours of a hit to the head.

Dear reaDers: every so often I come across some information that I know will be of interest to more everyone, whether they currently have foot problems or not, yet no one would even think to ask. For example when you buy a new pair of shoes, how do you lace them? Do you take into account your foot shape, arch height and flexibility, tendency for heel slip page or blackened toe nails? Probably not, because out mothers taught us how to lace a shoe in one particular way (the conventional crisscross to the top of the shoe technique) and we have not varied from it. For the most of us this will continue to work well. Beginning at the bottom of the shoe and pull the laces one set of eyelets at a time to tighten. This will distribute stress evenly across the eyelets and therefore across the top of the foot and allow for a more comfortable fit. However, for those who do not have specific gait problems or who have feet that are not average shaped, here are a few lace alternatives to the standard that may help keep you tied to be fit. Did you ever wonder why your new shoes seem to have extra eyelets? even manufactures have designed their shoes to allow for custom lacing. The wider placed eyelets allow for laces to be pulled in more tightly and are there for used for narrower feet, while the narrower placed eyelets allow for more girth and are more suitable for wider feet. The following patter of lacing is idea for those with a bony prominence on the top of their foot as it minimizes pressure. You begin in the conventional manner until you approach the problem area. The lacing continues in the conventional way until the top of the shoe. To prevent heel slippage a conventional patter or lacing is done until the last eyelet. By looping the end of each lace and using the loop as an eyelet, a more secure fit around the heel can be obtained. a square box pattern of lacing is used for those with high arched rigid feet or again for those with a boney bump on the top of their foot. In this method the lace never crosses over the tongue, but passes under each eyelet. This method eases pressure across the top of the foot. If you are a runner who is prone to blackened toe nails or pressure at the front of the foot, a single lace cross-over may help/ begin with the end of one lace much shorter than the other. Place it in the upper most inside eyelet and run it to the lowest more diagonally opposite eyelet. The begin lacing from inside to side through the remaining eyelets. This patter pulls the tow box of the show up, relieving pressure on the toes. For a custom fit, an independent method of using two different laces may be employed. This may work well for people with a wider forefoot, for those whose foot is two different widths.

Pickering TownCentre www.kleinfootcare.ca Another new arrival spotted in Durham so far in this mild November “I think I saw a flock of Bohe- mian waxwings on a crabapple tree today. Seems pretty early for them to be looking for ber- ries in this neck of the woods. Any other reports?” Diane McCurdy’s e-mail sent me scurrying to check bird- ing hotlines, curious to see what interesting new arrivals have been spotted in Durham so far this mild November. The Whitby resident always keeps an eye out for birds, and if she’s seeing waxwings, I should be looking for them, too. These sociable birds are so unique, so beautiful, they’re a joy to find in any season. Temperatures have a lot less to do with waxwings being around than food supply. They’re berry specialists, so wherever there’s fruit hanging on trees and bush- es, waxwings may show up. It’s a good wild apple year in southern Ontario, so check crabapple trees in particular for flocks perched high in the branches, now that leaves have fallen. Mountain ash didn’t produce much of a crop this year, but there are lots of buckthorn ber- ries in creek valleys, enough to keep waxwings happy for a good long time. As to which waxwings we might be lucky enough to find, our local cedar waxwings have been around all autumn. After nesting, they gather in nomad- ic flocks and start combing the countryside for fruit and ber- ries, just as likely to visit orna- mental trees in urban areas as orchards, woodlands and fencerows in farm country. Bohemian waxwings are nomadic as well. After breeding in boreal forests out west, they often wander cross-continent in search of fruit, sometimes flying all the way to the Mari- times when there’s not enough available back home. Already several flocks have been reported in Algonquin Park and vicinity, perhaps fore- telling a sizable influx this year. They tend to stream eastward at that latitude, then wander more widely when they’re heading back west again later in winter. But there’s always a chance of coming across an aberrant flock wherever there’s fruit to draw them, as Diane McCurdy likely did this week. The two species can be told apart by their voices, with Bohemians much louder and harsher than the cedars’ quiet lisp. Both are a warm greyish- brown, with black eye masks, swept-back crests and a yel- low bar at the end of their tail. Bohemians are larger, lack the yellow wash on their belly and have a rufous undertail patch. They fly in tight formations as skillfully as starlings, while cedar waxwings tend to follow each other in loose, strung-out flocks.

The Oshawa Golf and Curling Club was filled to capacity for two sittings with region- al chefs serving their signature soups and desserts. The concept of Empty Bowls is used world- wide to recognize and raise support for hun- ger by emphasizing that many people simply do not have enough to eat. Attendees at the event selected their favou- rite locally handcrafted pottery bowl donat- ed by the Durham Potters Guild for soup sampling. The bowls were a takeaway and reminder of the empty bowls in the commu- nity that need ongoing help to be filled. Ben Earle, executive director for Feed the Need in Durham, was happy with the turn- out. “This is a great way to connect with the people who support us every day,” he said. Earle said every month there are roughly 6,500 visits to food banks in Durham Region, adding 10 per cent of families experience some form of food insecurity at different points in the year. Kwasi Douglas, season two top 12 finalist in Master Chef Canada, was one of the chefs at the fundraiser. He said hunger is bother- some to him. “It’s something that doesn’t sit well with me,” he said. He added the work food banks do is impor- tant and what he’d like to do is start teaching people how to prepare food properly so they can take full advantage of it. “I’d like to put you guys (food banks) out of business,” he said. Also at the event were many local volun- teers who Earle praised. “They’re (volunteers) not only here today but they’re there everyday in our ware- house,” he said. At the second sitting, Sandy Hawley, four time Queen’s Plate winner and Order of Can- ada recipient, was the special guest speaker. Based in Oshawa, Feed the Need in Dur- ham began distributing food in 2009 to Durham-based emergency food provid- ers. Today it distributes more than 100,000 pounds of food a month to 53 member agen- cies (including food banks, shelters, soup kitchens, in-school programs and social ser- vice agencies) across the Region.

Up to $10,000in Fr eeUpgrades* GRAND OPENINGTHIS WEEKEND November 17 - November 27, 2016 Pressrun: 367,970 Ken Russell was celebrated as the 63rd president of the Durham Region Home Builders’ Association (DRHBA) at a gala event held on Saturday, November 12. “I am very honoured,” said Russell as he addressed the full room at Deer Creek Golf & Banquet Facility in Ajax. Russell thanked the previous president, Heidi Stephenson, “for her dedication and admirable service as President.” DRHBA had a very busy 2015- 2016 year of advocating for choice and affordability in housing as the housing market continued to boom in Durham Region. The association also offered their members numerous networking opportunities and kept them informed and up-to-date on crucial home-building information. At the event past-president Stephenson awarded Michelle Cote the Presidential Star Award for her participation on the board the past year. She also thanked her outgoing board which consisted of past president Victor Fiume, 1st VP Ken Russell, 2nd VPs Manuel DeSousa and Dave Henderson; and directors: Danielle Bleau, Michelle Cote, Emidio DiPalo, Mike DiPalo, Drew Dowling, Jennifer Hurd, Lisa Lippai, Stephen Snider, Corette Stevens, and Marianne Tracey, as well as presidential appointee Peter Saturno. New president Russell is anticipating a busier year ahead as the industry moves forward to provide the homes that consumers want and need in Durham. “This year we have an amazing board, I believe we will do some incredible advocacy work, as well as host a number of builder information sessions and become a more vibrant network.” Russell is looking forward to working with his new board, which includes many veterans of the Association as well as new faces: it will be comprised of past-president Heidi Stephenson (Halminen Homes), 1st VP Manuel DeSousa (Accubuilt Construction Ltd. and DeSousa Homes) and directors: Danielle Bleau (Candevcon), Brenda Colvin (Sensational Signs), Emidio DiPalo (Don & Son Building Supplies), Mike DiPalo (Rona), Matthew Eon (CRS Contractors Rental Supply), William Greig (Brookfield Residential), Jennifer Hurd (Cricket Home Comfort), Lisa Lippai (Bell), Johnathan Schickedanz (Far Sight Homes), Corette Stevens (Cambria), Marianne Tracey (D.G. Biddle), and presidential appointees: Michelle Cote (Dettson Industries), Peter Saturno (Midhaven Homes) and Stephen Snider (Steve Snider Construction). The MC for the evening was 2015 top stand-up comedian award winner Maliaka Bryce. For more information on the Durham Region Home Builders’ Association, visit www.drhba.com.

Wall brought Newfoundland to the world ‘Living Legend’ is one of a kind BY MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- He’s been everywhere, man. Newfoundland native Michael T. Wall has taken his brand of traditional country music all over the world, from Poland to Japan to Australia to Ger- many. “I had a dream,” he says. “I just want- ed to promote Newfoundland.” Mission accomplished. And Wall, 78, known as The Singing Newfound- lander and, in Arizona and Austra- lia, as “the other man in black,” has received a tonne of awards and acco- lades. Most recently, he received the Living Legend Award from the Nation- al Traditional Country Music Asso- ciation in the US. In 2015, he became the first Canadian to be inducted into the Australian Country Music Hall Of Fame. A decade ago, he was the recip- ient of the Stompin` Tom Award pre- sented by the East Coast Music Asso- ciation. The Germans even put him on a postage stamp. At home, former premier Joey Smallwood christened him Newfoundland’s Official Musical Ambassador. As a young man in Newfoundland, Wall says country music was the first music he heard on the family’s bat- tery-powered radio, and he absorbed artists such as Wilf Carter and Hank Snow. But another man in black really caught his attention. “When Johnny Cash came on the scene I said, ‘that’s what I want to do’,” he says, adding Cash’s “down-to-earth songs” were what attracted him. At 22, he told his parents he was going to Toronto to promote the Rock and to be a musician. Wall says they supported his decision, but cautioned that it was a tough life. And it was. But Wall’s genuine music and persona were popular in the big city, especially at The 300 Club. He released his first of many albums in the early 1970s. But Wall didn’t stay put in the GTA. He went everywhere and met, well, everybody: Cash, Bill Munro, Charley Pride and many others. Stompin’ Tom Connors was a good friend. “One time he almost ran me down on Bathurst Street,” Wall says. “I had to jump out of the way.” “He was a great man ... friendly, signing autographs for everybody.” When he was a schoolboy, Wall says he was fascinated by the shape of the Australian continent and used to trace it with his pencil. He want- ed to visit the land down under, and eagerly accepted the invitation when it arrived. He’s been back a few times since, and Wall says he was surprised to find out how big country music was in Australia. There’s tributes to Johnny Cash all over the country, he says, and little kids sing Hank Snow songs. Wall recently moved to Scarborough and his music is being re-record- ed and re-released. A new CD, Little Boats of Newfoundland, features his daughters. Look for his CDs at flea markets. He plans one more trip to Australia, but Wall says he’s written his farewell song, titled My Farewell Song. “I’m not quitting,” he stresses. “I’m slowing down a bit. “Music has always been in my heart.” Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland PICKERING -- Former Pickering resident Michael T. Wall, known as The Singing Newfoundlander, is a traditional country artist who has received many awards and accolades over a long career. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 1 7 , 2 0 1 6 30 AP www.theartoftrees.ca |479 Kingston Road W.

See Woods and his band on Dec. 14 at 7 p.m. at Westminster United Church in Whitby. “This uplifting live show celebrates the magic of the fiddle and the joy of the Christmas season with traditional Christ- mas songs, sensational step dancing, wholesome family humour and Scott’s famous trick fiddling -- somersaults and walking on a barrel while fiddling,” states a press release. “Joining Scott on stage in Old Time Christmas is his sister, Kendra (Woods) Norris -- a multi-instrumentalist and certainly no stranger to old-time fid- dling, having won the Canadian Duet Fid- dle Championship title three times with Scott as well as several solo wins in vari- ous classes including the 2016 Canadian Open.

This column I would like to expand on the five steps involved with the return to play process. This process is incredibly important to avoid second impact syndrome -- a potentially serious or even fatal inju- ry that can occur when an athlete gets a second head injury before a previous one has completely healed. The first step in the return to play pro- cess is no activity. Another term used for this is cognitive rest. This means for a period of time halting all activities that involve mental processing, such as school work, television, text messaging and physical activity. This can be difficult for young athletes as they may need to miss a period of time at school, and later when they return to school may need to start back on a grad- uated time basis depending on symp- toms. Athletes should stay in this step until they are symptom-free for 24 hours. At this point they can begin step two. It is important to state it may take a long period of time for a young athlete to make it through this step without feel- ing symptoms, usually headaches. It is imperative for athletes to be honest with what they are feeling, and not down- play symptoms as this could lead to pro- longed recovery. The second step is light aerobic exer- cise. This includes activity that slightly increases heart rate for about 15 min- utes, such as walking or using a station- ary bike. If athletes are symptom-free for 24 hours they can progress to the next step. If symptoms return, they need to go back to the previous step of no activity. The same pattern is followed with the remaining steps. The remaining three steps are: sport specific exercise adding movement, such as running/skating drills with no head contact, for 45 minutes; non-contact training drills that progress to increased exertion, coordination and attention, for 60 minutes; and, finally, full-contact practice.

Dr. Andrew Fagan Guest columnist Pickering’s Avery Mitchell, Durham West’s Danika Ranger key to Ontario Red national hockey gold BY BRIAN McNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com REGINA — Pickering’s Avery Mitch- ell and Durham West Lightning goalie Danika Ranger were instrumental in leading Ontario Red to hockey gold at the 2016 national women’s under-18 championship in Saskatchewan. Mitchell, a defenceman with the Toronto Aeros of the Provincial Women’s Hockey League, scored the winning goal and Ranger made 31 saves for her third win of the tournament as Ontario Red defeated Quebec 4-1 in the final Sunday, Nov. 13, claiming a 10th gold medal in 11 years for the top Ontario team. “It was amazing,” Mitchell said by phone Monday. “I thought our team played really well and we just worked together great as a team and we finished all the opportunities we had. We just played great all week.” Ontario Red was a perfect 5-0 overall at the tournament, beating Ontario Blue 4-1, Atlantic Canada 6-1 and Saskatch- ewan 5-3 in the preliminary round, before pounding British Columbia 9-1 in the semifinal. Ranger, who hails from Astorville, near North Bay, but plays locally with Durham West, was in net for the open- ing game against Ontario Blue and both playoff tilts, allowing just a single goal in each game to earn top goalie honours for the tournament. “It was definitely something I had to earn,” Ranger said of getting the final two starts. “Playing Team Blue in the first game was definitely a challenge and I think I rose to it pretty well and they felt comfortable putting me in for the semis and the final.” Mitchell, who played her minor hock- ey with the Whitby Wolves and also spent a season with the Jr. Wolves of the PWHL, has one goal and three points in 12 games this season with the Aeros. Typically more of a defensive-mind- ed blue-liner, she stepped up big time at the nationals, scoring twice in the semifinal and going top-shelf for what proved to be the winner in the champi- onship game. “It was a really fast-paced,” said Mitch- ell, a Dunbarton High School student. “I thought that our entire team just rose above and sort of took over and played our best hockey. If your team is playing good, you sort of do the same.” Mitchell has a scholarship lined up next season with Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York, while Ranger will return home to play for Nipissing Uni- versity in North Bay. For now, they return to two of the top teams in the PWHL, as Mitchell’s Aeros are tied for second place at 12-4-0-1 while Ranger’s Lightning are tied for fifth at 9-2-2-1. Alicia Pallister and Brooke McQuig- ge of the Whitby Wolves, both from Bowmanville, were part of the Ontario Blue team that lost the bronze-medal game 5-3 to B.C. The Wolves are also right in the PWHL mix, in fourth place at 11-4-1-0.

SportS ryan pfeiffer / Metroland LOSSA net moves OSHAWA -- Among those who participated in the LOSSA senior tennis championships this year at the Oshawa Civic Dome were, above, Jailyn Joensen from Dunbarton High School and, right, Aamir Aboosally from J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate. Two more OJHL home games this weekend at Pickering Rec Complex DURHAM — The Whitby Fury have moved into a tie for second place in the ultra-competitive East Division with a pair of resounding victories last weekend in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. The Fury are now on a four-game win- ning streak and tied with the Cobourg Cougars at 17-5-0-1 after wins of 6-0 in Stouffville Saturday, Nov. 12 and 4-1 at home over Newmarket Sunday. Six different players found the back of the net Saturday and Logan Gauthi- er made 23 saves for his first shutout in five games since being sent to the Fury by the Oshawa Generals. Tiger McDon- ald, Ryan Heeps and defenceman Justin Brand each had a goal and assist, while Matt Latin, Brock Welsh and Liam Rob- ertson also scored. Latin, who spent last season with the Generals, scored twice in the win over Newmarket, while Luke Keenan and Nik Coric each had a goal and assist. Austin Cain made 23 saves for his 11th win of the season. The Pickering Panthers, meanwhile, picked up their fifth win of the season with a 5-4 double overtime win at home against Aurora Friday, before falling 5-2 to Lindsay Sunday at the Pickering Rec- reation Complex. Steven Elliott, acquired in a trade with the Fury, had a goal and two assists Fri- day, as the Panthers battled back from a 4-1 third-period deficit to win the game on Adam Wheaton’s goal seven seconds into double OT. Wheaton also scored in the third period, along with Davis Kuksis and Thomas Hernandez. Kuksis and Wheaton had goals Sunday in defeat as well. The Panthers (5-17-0-1) have two more home games this weekend, 7:30 p.m. Fri- day against St. Michael’s (15-6-0-4) and 6:30 p.m. Sunday against Kingston (10-6- 2-4).

SportS Contributions from all during winning streak BY BrIAN McNAIr bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — It’s no small coincidence the Oshawa Generals have been on a tear since getting captain Anthony Cirelli and goalie Jeremy Brodeur back from NHL camps four games into the Ontario Hockey League sea- son, but that sure doesn’t tell the whole story. The Generals are as hot as can be right now, winning eight straight and taking 21 points from the past 11 games to improve to 15-5-0-1, good for a six-point lead atop the OHL’s Eastern Conference after opening the season with three straight losses. And, sure, they’ve been led by Cirelli, Bro- deur and Mitchell Vande Sompel, their stud defenceman who also missed a couple of games at the outset, but the true strength of the team so far has been contributions from throughout the ranks. “We’re on a bit of a roll right now and it’s coming from different places every night, and that’s the sign of a good team,” assistant coach Greg Nemisz said after Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Sudbury Wolves at the Tribute Communities Centre. “We have everyone bought in and we’re getting contributions everywhere, so it’s a lot of fun right now.” In Mississauga Wednesday for a school day morning game, backup goalie Kyle Keyser made 38 saves to lead the Generals to a 2-1 shootout win over the Steelheads. On Sunday, Nemisz was quick to point out that the fourth line of Sullivan Sparkes between Robbie Burt and defenceman- turned-winger Stephen Templeton has been particularly strong of late, getting more ice time and thriving on it. Sparkes scored two big goals on the week- end, putting the Generals on the board Sun- day and scoring his first of the season Friday, on a penalty shot, in a 5-4 win in Mississau- ga. Burt also scored Friday and assisted on Sparkes’s goal Sunday, but the story sur- rounding him took a different and frighten- ing turn 1:47 into the third period, when he was knocked out by a hit from Sudbury for- ward Drake Pilon. Thankfully, after being attended to for about 20 minutes on the ice and then stretchered off, Burt was released from hos- pital later that night and returned to his bil- let family. GM Roger Hunt said Tuesday he expected Burt would miss 7-10 days. “You don’t want to see that happen in hockey, especially Robbie, he’s one of my best friends off the ice,” said Sparkes, who was relieved to learn along with his team- mates that Burt would be fine. “I was really worried for him.” The success of the line, and of the team in general for that matter, has come from hard work, a formula that has been consistent under head coach Bob Jones, just as it was under his predecessor and good friend, D.J. Smith. Sparkes, who had two goals and nine points in 51 games as a rookie last season, recognizes that he will have to continue working hard all in all three zones to see his ice time increase. “I think it all starts with how we forecheck,” he said of his line’s recent success. “We’re heavy on pucks and we’re trying to get more pucks on the net now, and just making sure we’re good in our own end so that Jonesey can trust us later in the game. I think that’s paid off. “We have Cirelli and Vande Sompel but we’re not a superstar-built team like other teams in our league,” Sparkes added. “I think we’re all just pulling on the same rope and we’re just a bunch of hard workers.” The Generals swept all three weekend games they played, including 2-1 in overtime Saturday over the Hamilton Bulldogs, who left the weekend six points back of the Gen- erals in the East Division and Eastern Con- ference. GENERALLY SPEAKING: The Gener- als are now 10-1-0-0 at home, with the lone loss coming to Sudbury Oct. 16, and 5-4- 0-1 on the road, but 5-0-0-1 in the past five … They have two more road games com- ing up, in Kitchener Friday and Peterbor- ough Tuesday, Nov. 22 before returning home to face Flint Friday, Nov. 25 and Sault Ste. Marie Sunday, Nov. 27 … Defenceman Medric Mercier scored Oshawa’s only goal in regulation Wednesday, his fifth goal and 10th point in 11 games as a General ... Lat- vian Renars Krastenbergs, who had his first fighting major in the second period, scored the shootout winner against the Steelheads ... Jeremy Brodeur was pressed into duty Saturday in Hamilton after Kyle Keyser took an ice chip in the eye, and ended up stopping all 20 shots he faced to record the win. He’s now 12-2-0-1 for the season, second in the league in goals-against average at 2.27 and first in save percentage at .922 … Defence- man Riley Stillman scored the OT winner in Hamilton and had an ice-long, short-hand- ed empty-net goal Sunday … Anthony Cirel- li scored in a 4-3 loss for Team OHL as part of the CIBC Canada Russia Series in North Bay Nov. 10, while Mitchell Vande Sompel was held without a point.

SportS UOIT women’s soccer team defeats Queen’s 1-0 for bronze at U Sports championship BY BrIAN McNAIr bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — History was made and remade by the UOIT Ridgebacks women’s soccer team this season. After winning the Oshawa school’s first Ontario University Athletics champion- ship Nov. 6 in London, the Ridgebacks made their way to Wolfville, N.S., last week and came home with the first-ever nation- al medal, a bronze, at the U Sport champi- onships. The victims in both instances were the Queen’s Gaels, and both times by a 1-0 count, on the strength of shutouts from OUA all-star keeper Helen Frampton. Midfielder Katherine Koehler-Grassau scored on a left-footed mid-range shot in the 59th minute to provide the lone offence of the bronze-medal match Sunday, Nov. 13. The Ridgebacks were right in the thick of things throughout the tournament, knock- ing off No. 2-ranked Trinity Western 1-0 in overtime in the quarter-finals and then dropping a heart-breaking 2-1 overtime decision in the semifinals to Laval, the top- ranked team and eventual champion. Peyvand Mossavat, who has coached the UOIT team since it started up five years ago, was disappointed at coming so close to reaching the final, but proud of deliver- ing the university’s first medal. “Perspective always comes later. At the moment (of losing the semifinal), you’re disappointed, but what this team and group has accomplished over the last five years is just remarkable. I’m quite proud of the group,” he said. “I think we have such a great school and such a supportive envi- ronment from all levels. It’s remarkable for the school. I’m just so excited for UOIT.” Mossavat led the team to the nationals in 2014 as well, after winning OUA bronze, but he had this year pegged as a peak all along. A veteran group that included four play- ers -- defenders Sara Voisin and Kylie Bor- deleau and midfielders Nicole Zajac and Jessica Mithrush -- who have been with Mossavat from the beginning, the Ridge- backs started this season with an eight-day trip to Sweden that proved invaluable. “We had a great bonding that happened in Sweden and the energy from that car- ried on through the season,” Mossavat explained. “That was the start of our jour- ney this year. I can honestly tell you one of the success factors for this year was the great chemistry between the girls.” Shynice Williams scored the lone goal against Trinity Western in the quarter- final, while Taijah Henderson of Ajax notched her 11th goal of the season in the loss to Laval. Justin Greaves / Metroland Ice-breaker for Cougars AJAX -- Notre Dame Cougars goalie Justin Dacosta made a save during a LOSSA senior hockey game against Brooklin High School at the Ajax Community Centre Monday.

Maybe you’re not getting the sleep and nutrition you need? 1. Get the most from your diet. Prepare balanced meals for your family that are rich in organic foods. Health Canada reports that the majority of Canadians consume excessive calories, salt, and sugar yet fail to meet their nutrient needs. In fact, many adults don’t consume enough minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium. They also fail to get enough vitamin D and fibre from their diets. If you think you’re deficient in one or more of these areas, talk to your healthcare practitioner about natural supplementation to achieve the nutritional balance your body needs. It may be as simple as adding a multi-vitamin to your regimen to fill in any gaps. 2. Keep the bugs at bay. Flu season is upon us and one thing is certain — you’re neither healthy nor happy when you’re sick. Not only that, but being sick can lead to lethargy, anxiety, and even depression. To get the boost you need to stay healthy during the worst of the season, make sure you’re getting a regular dose of probiotics that’ll help keep your immune system ready to tackle invading bugs. In case something does slip past your best defenses, zinc is a great way to help reduce the length and severity of a cold or flu. 3. Hit the sack. A good night’s rest will help your body recover from the gym, boost the immune system, balance your mood, and improve your work performance. If you have trouble falling asleep, you may want to try magnesium which helps the brain settle down at night. Other options include melatonin, which helps regulate sleep patterns, or valerian, a root that’s been used medicinally for thousands of years to reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep. During NHP Week, identify your own holistic healthy habits to keep everyone in the family healthy and happy.

Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS PickeringAjax/ The Big M originally opened in 1965, and seven years ago Chris Papatheodorou reopened the drive-in style joint. He is proud to be continuing his father Ted’s tradition of offering delicious, original recipe, award winning homemade hamburgers. The restaurant’s blueprint for a better burger includes a toasted soft bun (that are delivered fresh daily), a seven ounce freshly grilled beef patty, topped with crisp iceberg lettuce, sliced beefsteak tomato, a slice of red onion, pickles, ketchup and yellow mustard. To make your burger even better, you can add on cheddar cheese, Canadian bacon and/or peameal bacon. Customers also love their famous steak on a Kaiser, homemade onion rings, French fries, sweet potato fries, homemade chicken souvlaki and The Big M chicken Caesar salad as well as the tasty Greek salad. While you are here, you can also enjoy one of the signature milkshakes, a soft ice cream cone or a sundae. When you visit The Big M, it’s like taking a trip back in time. The restaurant offers an authentic 60’s vibe. The combination of great food and outstanding customer service will have your coming back time and time again. “We pride ourselves on our 50 plus year tradition of serving the Bay Ridges area, which is why we’ve gone back to the restaurant’s original feel,” Chris says. “We offer high quality food and a good time – plus, you can’t get a better hamburger or steak on a Kaiser anywhere else.” It’s no surprise that that the restaurant was voted in as number one hamburger in Ajax and Pickering. Drop by or drive up to The Big M at 711 Krosno Blvd. (at Liverpool Road, south of the 401) in Pickering for an incredible dining experience.
