PICKERING -- After reading the true story
of a boy who took it upon himself to raise
money for a well in Uganda, Jamie Farrell
was inspired to take up the noble cause as
well.
Jamie, 12, came across the tale of Ryan
Hreljac, and the journey that took him to
Africa and back, as a participant in Pickering
Library’s Splash! Summer Book Club. Sarah
West, children’s librarian at the Central
branch, shared the book ‘Ryan and Jimmy
and the Well in Africa That Brought Them
Together’ with the book club in July.

TRUE STORY LEADS TO COLLECTION FOR WELLS IN AFRICA
RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND
PICKERING -- Jamie Farrell, 12, with help from her brother Lucas Farrell, 8, has put a wishing well collection box at the main branch of the
Pickering Public Library, collecting donations to go to the Ryan’s Well Foundation to help developing countries receive clean drinking
water. Jamie got the idea after reading the book ‘Ryan and Jimmy and the Well in Africa That Brought Them Together’.

Liberal, NDP candidates
share plans to address
issue
Moya DiLLoN
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Pickering-Scarborough East
candidates ended up sharing more than
just their party priorities at a community
poverty forum.
Liberal candidate Tracy MacCharles and
NDP candidate Nerissa Carino were at the
East Shore Community Centre on Monday,
Aug. 29 for the poverty forum, hosted by the
social justice committee of St. Martin’s Angli-
can Church. In between questions from resi-
dents and committee members, both women
shared their own experiences with poverty.
“Living in poverty is a difficult thing, and
I’ve lived it,” Ms. MacCharles said, getting vis-
ibly emotional.
“As a teen my mother was a single parent
and we lived in poverty. It’s a very emotional
thing, but I understand it. Through the sup-
port of family, friends and our school we were
able to come out of that, but I understand that
it’s not easy to come out of poverty, and many
people don’t.”
Ms. Carino highlighted the importance of
accessible education as a means of combat-
ting rising poverty.
“I’ve lived in poverty, up to this day, and
that’s real,” she said.
“When we talk about being equal, we’re
talking about me being 20 years old, just hav-
ing had my first son, and struggling to make
ends meet in a minimum wage job. The only
option was to go back to school, so that was
a sacrifice my partner and I had to make, to
make it possible for one of us to go back to
school and requalify.”
Conservative candidate Kevin Gaudet
declined to attend the meeting and Green
Party representative Bradley Gibson had to
cancel due to a family emergency.
Scott Riley, chairman of the social justice
committee, stressed the meeting was not a
debate, but an opportunity to raise awareness
of the issue of poverty.
“Public opinion polls have indicated that
health care, job creation and the economy
are the top concerns among Canadians,” Mr.
Riley said.
“Our question is why isn’t poverty reduction
a priority? Despite government’s efforts the
number of working adults below the poverty
line is actually going up, not down. I think the
key message tonight is that poverty needs to
be a public priority and needs to be an elec-
tion issue.”
Moderator Ted Glover, who is a member
of the Interfaith Social Assistance Reform
Coalition (ISARC,) questioned the candi-
dates on whether their parties would support
a monthly $100 healthy food benefit to help
families using food banks to eat healthier.
“In an effort to raise awareness, many of
us went on a food bank diet last year,” he
explained, noting he subsisted off food bank
food for five days.
“We were hungry, we were lethargic, we
were moody, it was a diet full of carbohydrates
and sodium, with virtually no fresh produce.
It was a real eye-opener for me. Would your
party support a $100 monthly healthy food
supplement so people can eat better?”
Although the NDP and Liberal parties have
yet to release platforms, the candidates did
their best to answer the questions.
“I think this is a huge issue and it’s impor-
tant we address it,” Ms. Carino said.
“We would support an immediate supple-
ment. The food bank diet you ate, that is what
many people have to do every day, for years
and years, and I think it’s important we sup-
plement that. We also have to factor in people
who have dietary restrictions due to medi-
cal conditions or allergies. Poor eating hab-
its lead to poor health, and that leads people
into the health care system, which can further
worsen a low-income situation.”
Ms. MacCharles highlighted the achieve-
ments made so far by Dalton McGuinty’s
Liberal government, including minimum
wage increases, increases in social assistance
rates, full day kindergarten, child benefits and
more.
“Under the Liberal government a sin-
gle mother working full time has seen her
income increase by $10,500 since 2003,” she
explained.
“Because the Liberal platform is not out I
can’t say whether we would be able to deliv-
er on the healthy food supplement, but I can
assure you that our party will continue to
speak out on behalf of low income residents.”
Both candidates agreed that growing pov-
erty is an important issue that needs to be
addressed no matter what party takes power.
Ms. MacCharles pointed to the recent Poverty
Reduction Act, which was passed into legisla-
tion in 2009, as a promising step.
“The Liberal Poverty Reduction Strategy
was made into legislation to make sure suc-
cessive governments stay focused on the fight
against poverty. We’ve already seen impor-
tant initiatives such as full day kindergar-
ten and the child benefit and I think those
efforts will and are contributing to poverty
reduction. There is more to do, but there are
already 19,000 less children living in poverty
today due to the strategy.”
Ms. Carino also promised poverty would be
a key issue.
“The foundation of the NDP campaign
is making life affordable and making sure
no family is left behind. We want to imple-
ment crucial solutions so people can make
it through these times and also address long
term goals of poverty reduction and, eventu-
ally, poverty elimination.”

AJAX -- Durham residents are being asked
to help in the battle against ovarian cancer
by joining in the annual Ovarian Cancer
Mini Walk of Hope on Sept. 10.
The event will be held at Rotary Park in
Ajax, starting at 9 a.m., a day before the
national walk on Sept. 11. Rotary Park is
located on Lake Driveway West near Parkes
Drive.
This is the second year for the Durham
event and event co-chairwoman Siabh
McCarthy said it was a big success last year
when Durham residents raised $26,000 and
Winners chose the site to present a $275,000
cheque to Ovarian Cancer Canada. “Every-
thing was just positive and everyone was just
there to support women with ovarian can-
cer,” she said.
Ms. McCarthy lost her sister and sister-
in-law to the disease that more than 17,000
Canadian women live with each year.
“I felt that I needed to support women in
the community who are battling this dis-
ease and wanted to bring the walk closer to
home,” she said.
The fundraising dollars will go to Ovarian
Cancer Canada for research into improving
survival rates and developing an early detec-
tion test. Ovarian cancer is the most fatal
women’s cancer because of the lack of a reli-
able early detection test. Late detection of
the disease results in a five-year survival rate
of less than 30 per cent.
Ms. McCarthy said she was touched by the
community spirit at last year’s event and by
how many people know someone who has
been impacted by ovarian cancer.
Participants can expect a lively atmo-
sphere for the walk, which is a five-kilometre
loop along the Ajax waterfront. The plan is to
have a band play the walkers out.
“When they come back there will be
refreshments, a barbecue sponsored by the
Ajax Lion’s Club,” said Ms. McCarthy.
People can come in teams or as individu-
als and families and pets are welcome too.
“They can donate whatever they want from
$5 to $500,” said volunteer Janice Burton.
Anyone who donates $20 or more gets a
tax receipt. Participants can register ahead
of time by visiting www.ovariancancer-
walkofhope.ca or they can register the day of
the event.

Singer Beyonce has set a new record.
It’s not for number one hits or awards or
even for nabbing a big contract. It’s all about
her baby bump.
On Sunday night she revealed her preg-
nancy in dramatic fashion before millions of
TV viewers at the MTV Video Music Awards
(VMA) and set a new record for most tweeted
event ever.
She started her performance by saying, “I
want you to feel the love that’s growing inside
me,” throwing down a blast of energy onto the
stage as she sang.
At the end she opened her sequined jacket
and stroked her stomach as the camera cut to
her husband Jay-Z being congratulated in the
audience. And Twitter caught fire resulting in
8,868 tweets per second, spreading the news
of her pregnancy.
That smashed the previous Twitter record
set earlier this year during the Women’s
World Cup of Soccer when Japan beat the
United States, which drew 7,196 tweets per
second.
To put it into context, Beyonce’s pregnancy
news generated more tweets per second than
the breaking news of the death of Osama
Bin Laden. Now, Beyonce’s new record isn’t
just about an international celebrity with big
news. It’s about the way young people con-
sume news and entertainment these days.
Consider this: TV viewership among young
people has been on a steady decline in recent
years, mainly due to the myriad of other
entertainment options they have in their
tech-filled lives.
There’s no such thing as a must-see TV
night for a 20-year-old. There’s must-remem-
ber-to-download. That doesn’t work so well
for advertisers and TV executives because
downloads skip those pesky ads that pay for
the shows. So MTV found a way to make sure
that much-desired 18-to-49-year-old demo-
graphic had their eyes glued to the show.
First of all, the MTV awards have a long his-
tory of producing talked-about moments,
from Madonna’s Like a Virgin performance
in a wedding dress to her kiss years later with
Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera to
Eminem ending up with Borat’s unmention-
ables in his face. With that history in mind,
MTV’s publicity department hyped up their
show as they do every year, but also took to
social media to promote the show both before
and during the main event.
Their Twitter feeds are full of comments and
banter with viewers. That means that folks
who follow those Twitter feeds but had for-
gotten to watch the show were in their seats
glued to the screen before the big reveal.
It also means thousands of retweets from
teens reminding their friends to watch.
When Beyonce arrived on the red carpet in
a flowing orange gown, not her usual spar-
kling skintight mini, it furthered the buzz.
By the time her big reveal arrived, she had a
big audience.
And in addition to the new Twitter record,
the show went on to become the second-
most viewed VMAs ever, something the ad
execs appreciated. So what difference does it
make? Traditionally media types have relied
on TV viewers to tune in on their own. Maybe
they ran some commercials or billboard ads,
but with social media they can reach right
into viewer’s personal lives by grabbing them
through their friends. After all, if all their
friends are tweeting and Facebooking the
VMAs, how can even the tech savviest teen
resist?.

As summer winds down,
saftey awareness winds up
Reka Szekely
Beyonce’s baby bump on MTV shatters Twitter record
It might not be official, but when the
calendar flips to September there’s no
doubt summer is winding down, on its
final lap.
The Labour Day weekend is summer’s
last fling, the last long weekend before
school starts, various groups and organi-
zations resume regular meetings and life
picks up the pace again. Already the ear-
ly-morning air has a certain bite of fall
in it, a slightly sharper edge that’s bitter-
sweet.
As residents all over Durham Region
use this upcoming long weekend to rush
about getting last-minute school sup-
plies, pack up the older kids off to uni-
versity or pay one last beautiful visit to
the cottage, you can be sure the roads
and highways will be busy. And with
another school year about to begin, it’s
the perfect time to remember that giving
yourself extra time to get anywhere and
slowing down are the lessons of the sea-
son.
Come Tuesday morning, motorists will
once again be sharing the roads with
school buses, while sidewalks and cross-
walks will be crowded with kids head-
ing back to class. The morning commute
will no doubt seem a little busier than
usual, as prime vacation season comes
to a close. Motorists on all of Durham’s
roads, side streets and travelling through
school areas and subdivisions are asked
to slow down and be extra cautious.
Watch out for kids on foot, be aware that
crossing guards will be on duty at certain
intersections, and obey school bus flash-
ing signs.
For the younger children, especially,
Tuesday will be an exciting day. Please
watch out for the youngsters. Remember
that speeds are reduced in school safe-
ty zones, where disobeying the limit can
carry extra, hefty fines.
With another school year about to
begin, it’s also the perfect time for par-
ents to refresh road safety rules with
their kids. It’s shocking and surprising to
observe that many still don’t practise the
basic “look both ways” rule before cross-
ing a street, and by now the kids as well
have become accustomed to the quieter
streets of summer.
In many ways, fall brings renewal,
another lease on life. It can be a beau-
tiful time of year. Let’s all pull together
to make it a safe and happy time for our
families, and for each other.

ers Federation
Tell us a bit about yourself: Kevin is well-
known as a leading
Canadian advocate
for better and limit-
ed government. He
spent the last four
years as the federal
and Ontario direc-
tor for the Canadian
Taxpayers Federa-
tion, where he pro-
posed constructive
solutions to make
governments across
Canada work better
and make life easi-
er for Ontarians. One of his proudest accom-
plishments was to work with the prime minis-
ter to get a law passed, last year, which ended
the practice of giving Old Age Security and
Guaranteed Income Supplement benefits to
prisoners such as child serial killer Clifford
Olson.
Reasons for running: During my time
with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, I
watched Ontarians suffer eight years of Dal-
ton McGuinty’s broken promises, tax hikes
and outrageous electricity price increases.
I decided that the best chance I’d have to
reverse the damage done by the Liberal gov-
ernment was to stop being an armchair quar-
terback and run for office with the goal of
making life better and more prosperous for
hard-working Ontario families and seniors.
Three main issues: 1. Dalton McGuinty’s Lib-
erals have created countless new and unnec-
essary taxes -- the HST, health tax, and sneaky
eco-fees, to name a few -- that have created a
huge drain on the family budget. Taxpayers in
Ontario need some relief.
2. Reckless energy experiments, secret deals
with foreign manufacturers and the imposi-
tion of smart meter tax machines have dou-
bled the cost of electricity for households in
our community. Homeowners and tenants
deserve a break.
3. It’s time to keep our neighbourhoods safe
for those who work hard and play by the rules,
while ensuring that those who break the law
face appropriate penalties. It’s time to put the
emphasis back on victims, not on criminals.
What is your favourite local restaurant and
why? Maybe it’s partially because its name
reminds me of my wife Maki, but Makimo-
no Japanese Restaurant on Liverpool has a
great selection of one of my favourite foods
-- sushi.
Kevin Smith
Green Party
Occupation: Marketing Director for an
Enterprise Software solution for Dell.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I’m a problem
solver. I’m the type of person who is inter-
ested in what other people are challenged
with and find that I’m always trying to find a
unique or creative
way to help them.
Originally from
the small town
of Hornepayne,
I have lived in
Pickering with my
wife Amber for the
past six years and
moved to Durham
Region as a teenag-
er. I lived in Toron-
to during school
and a number of
years after, working
in sales and IT.
I’ve worked at Dell for the last 12 years in
a number of progressively responsible roles
from sales to marketing. I tend to read quite
a bit, mostly non-fiction, either politics relat-
ed or work related and I’m also working on
a book project called Information Launder-
ing, which deals with various tactics used to
create disinformation campaigns that are
used to create doubt about issues like global
warming, and how to put an end to them.
Reason for entering politics: I have a talent
for foresight, the ability to understand data
and trends and accurately predict where we
are heading, and we are not heading for a
very good place based on what I’ve learned.
We have entered an era of new economic
realities, and so far none of the other parties
have really acknowledged that this is the case.
I chose to run for the Green Party as they
were the only party that really understood the
scope of the challenges we face and how to
solve them. If you don’t know what the root
cause of a problem is, you have no hope of
fixing it.
Three main issues: Jobs/economy, energy,
health care -- in that order.
With the prospect of another economic cri-
sis, and record debt, the Province has very
few levers left to pull to try and create jobs.
Any focus on stimulus should be focused on
driving energy efficiency, and that can cover
both energy and jobs. We should be invest-
ing in transit, and energy retrofit programs.
We should be focusing on green energy pro-
grams that make it easy and simple for both
consumers and small businesses to take part,
instead of the complex byzantine process
that is the FIT program today. The Province
has done a good job at building a green repu-
tation, but we are at risk of losing our credibil-
ity if we don’t accelerate the pace.
As for energy, we need to hold the line on
nuclear. It’s neither safe, clean, nor is it afford-
able.
As for health care, we need to improve wait
times for all kinds of services, not just emer-
gency room visits. A visit to a specialist can
take months to happen, and people can’t
get access to services unless there is a cri-
sis, usually when it is the most expensive to
treat. Unfortunately this means both increas-
ing the number of staff, and making hospitals
and health care services run more efficiently.
There are areas where we can deliver servic-
es more cost effectively, but we have to real-
ize that health care investments will need
to go up to improve service. And we need
to encourage people to live healthier lives.
Something I will personally work on when
I’m an MPP is our approach to mental health
services. Having lost my sister to mental ill-
ness I’ve seen first hand what a travesty the
current system is.
What’s your favourite local restaurant and
why? In Pickering, our favourite restaurant
is The Red House. They have the best Thai
food in the area, and it’s a locally run busi-
ness which I support. It stands out from all
of the chain restaurants that seem to blan-
ket the suburbs. Our other favourite, just out-
side the riding in Ajax is Safari, which has
a great atmosphere, good food that some-
times showcases local food, and is also local-
ly owned. It’s actually owned by a friend of
mine from high school. It’s always good to see
members of our community succeed in their
small businesses.
Tracy MacCharles
Liberal
Occupation: I have
served as a human
resources executive
in the non-profit, pri-
vate and public sectors.
Most recently, I have
been running my own
human resources busi-
ness in Pickering.
Tell us a bit about
yourself: First and
foremost, I am the
mother of my two wonderful children, Tra-
vis and Genevieve, and married to my hus-
band of almost 17 years, Stephen Little. I was
born and raised in east Scarborough and my
family now resides in Pickering. The kids are
excited to enter their first year at Dunbarton
High School this fall. I have dedicated much
of my life’s work to my community, in partic-
ular improving the quality of our schools and
health care services. My volunteer efforts have
focused on the areas that I am most passion-
ate about -- health care and education. Most
recently, I have served as a member of the
Durham Board of Education’s Special Educa-
tion Advisory Council and the chairwoman
of my local School Community Council.
Reason for entering politics: I have been
privileged to live my entire life in a communi-
ty that works hard to ensure a high standard
of living for our families, including good jobs,
quality health care services, and first-rate
public schools for our kids.
I have thrown my hat in the ring because I
want to protect those things that matter most
to our community. We need to move forward
to create more jobs, continue to lower hos-
pital wait times, and fully implement North
America’s first full-day kindergarten.
There is a lot at stake in the upcoming elec-
tion and I want to do what I can to keep our
province on track and build on our progress
and our prosperity.
Three main issues: Keeping Ontario’s econ-
omy on the right track; securing our kids’
future by protecting our investments in edu-
cation; ensuring we continue to have reliable,
high-quality health care services.
What is your favourite local restaurant and
why? Stephen, Travis, Genevieve and I love
the food and service at Lone Star Grill and
Samosa Empire. When Stephen and I get a
“date night”, we like to try out new places in
Scarborough and Pickering.
Nerissa Cariño
NDP
Occupation: Entrepreneur
Tell us a bit about yourself: I am a life long
resident of Pickering-Scarborough East, a
mother of four, University of Toronto gradu-
ate, entrepreneur and
a passionate social jus-
tice activist.
Reason for entering
politics: I feel like pol-
itics ‘found me’ as it is
a natural fit for how I
live my life. It is who
I am and it is my pur-
pose in life to work for
social justice issues. I
am an honest, com-
passionate, positive
and hard-working
woman with morals that will not be compro-
mised. I am someone who can understand
and bring the real root issues to the table and
ensure that my community is respected and
that our needs are efficiently addressed.
Three main issues: The three main issues
that I am hearing at the doorsteps of my
neighbours are the lack of quality jobs, health
care and affordability. Living life is simply too
expensive, it’s too difficult to make ends meet
and we find ourselves living from paycheque
to paycheque.
What is your favourite local restaurant
and why? Jaspers Fish and Chips on Liver-
pool because it is a locally owned small busi-
ness, the yummy fish and chips, and the most
importantly, the genuine customer service
that customers always get (Jenny is an abso-
lute gem). It is this skill to create real and
positive human connections that has been
missing from business and politics alike that I
admire and aspire to bring into politics.

The first cool morning, the first hint
of fall in the air -- that’s all it takes.
It started last week, in fact. I looked
out the sunroom window into the
lilacs and saw two little birds hop-
ping about among the leaves, hunt-
ing for insects. And when one came
close, in plain view, I eyed it in
puzzlement. Was that plain, olive-
backed bird a yellowthroat? It had
a clear yellow throat but no familiar
black eyemask. Was it a juvenile, or
something else entirely?
The million brilliantly coloured
wood-warblers that flowed through
Durham as trees were leafing out in
May are heading south now, before
those same leaves fall. Since nest-
ing in northern forests, Canada’s
most beautiful birds have been not
only rearing families, taking advan-
tage of the long hours of daylight
and abundance of insects pro-
duced, but have been growing new
feathers in preparation for their
long flight south to winter in tropi-
cal forests.
Many look completely different
now than they did in their flashy
breeding plumage, which they don
in a partial molt of body feathers
just before spring migration. Mixed
in with the adults are this year’s
drab immatures, ending up with a
lot of the “confusing fall warblers”
made famous in the first field guide
to birds of North America. When
the late great Roger Tory Peterson
was illustrating his historic book,
he included two pages of pictures of
what warblers look like in autumn,
pointing out the best field marks to
help people recognize them.
Individual male warblers can
retain breeding plumage through
fall -- black-throated blues and red-
starts, for example. You may still
see a Blackburnian with an orange
throat, though its fine black mark-
ings have changed to grey. But most
chestnut-sided males will have lost
the familiar black face streaks and
much of the rich rufous striping
that gives them their name. They
end up looking like bald-faced,
greenish-backed, yellow-crowned
little birds -- complete strangers.
Male Cape May warblers lose
their diagnostic rusty cheek patch.
Magnolias’ vivid black streaks fade
from their yellow underparts, as
does the black robber mask that
helps identify them in spring. Yel-
low-rumped warblers keep their
yellow rump patch in all plumag-
es, but become a subdued brown
instead of a sharp slaty-grey.
I saw a strange-looking bird crawl-
ing upside down along branches of
a pine recently, looking much like
a nuthatch, but sporting a bright
white eyebrow line. It turned out
to be a very faded black-and-white
warbler.
Tragically, there’s been almost
as huge a decline in our woodland
songbirds as with grassland species
this past decade, so be thankful for
every warbler you see. And please
tack up garden netting or stick
CollidEscape decals outside your
windows to help prevent collision
deaths, one of the worst threats to
migrating birds.

links.net or 905-725-2116.

has more than 3,000 species on her life list of
birds, seen in far-flung corners of the planet.

The Port Perry Fair Pet Show
this Monday will be all about
kids, their pet companions, and
fun.
“This show gives them the
opportunity to show off their
pets, win little prizes, and just
have fun,” said organizer Cyn-
thia Mackey.
The categories tend to change
year to year, but are always light
and fun, such as the longest tail,
fuzziest ears, and best personal-
ity.
But organizers bring back
some staples each year, such as
most unusual living pet, and the
dress-up class, which usually
has owners dressing in costume
along with their pets as some
famous duo. Past favourites
have been Mickey and Minnie
Mouse and Dorothy and Toto
from The Wizard of Oz.
The free show is open to kids
14 and younger and their pets.
“The children and the pets are
the show,” Ms. Mackey said. “We
don’t really have to do anything
except let them take over, and
of course make sure that chaos
doesn’t break out completely,
which is not always easy.”
Those interested in participat-
ing simply have to show up on
the morning of Sept. 6. Registra-
tion will begin at 8:15 a.m. and
the show will start at 9 a.m. at
the entertainment shelter.
Pets must be in a cage or on a
leash.
Ms. Mackey is still looking
for judges for this year’s event.
Those interested in judging can
call Ms. Mackey at 905-985-0962.
Judges receive free admission to
the fair and a great opportuni-
ty to promote their pet-related
business or charity, Ms. Mackey
said.
The Port Perry Fair is located
at the corner of Reach Street
and Simcoe Street North in Port
Perry

A leaking basement is frustrating and expensive – and it’s not
something you want to have to fix repeatedly. That’s why it’s best
to bring in a professional, someone who can pinpoint the prob-
lem and repair it right the first time.
Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax
has been in the business for more than 30 years and has been in
close to 15,000 homes in Durham region.
“I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can
imagine,” he says, “and I’m still learning.”
Crawford’s extensive experience has taught him to be inno-
vative and try different techniques to solve problems. He takes
pride in his troubleshooting ability.
“I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most
reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may
involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replac-
ing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely neces-
sary.”
Crawford adds that if he can try something else first, he will.
“An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be
extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages
to exterior landscaping,” he says.
Crawford warns that it’s important not to ignore the problem.
He says homeowners who invest in their foundations will save
money in the long term.
“Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem
until it escalates into a bigger one,” he says. “You have to get in
quickly.”
Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a
free professional evaluation. For more information, call Gordon
Crawford at (905) 686-6880.

heatre programming is a lot like party planning:
knowing what to offer to a variety of guests, astute
choices so that the best of the appetizers can mix with
the featured entrees, and then a delectable fi nish so
that your guests will always have something to talk
about once the party has fi nished.
Ontario is home to two large repertory companies
that are offering fare for even the most discriminating taste – from
Broadway musicals and Tennessee Williams to Moliere, Pinter and
Lennox Robinson. Here are my recommendations for those who
have missed the early treats but who want to sample the pieces de
resistance:Stratford Festival, Stratford, Ont.
• Jesus Christ Superstar (Avon Theatre, to Oct. 29): A thrilling,
fast-paced, pitch-perfect production of the Tim Rice-Andrew
Lloyd Webber rock opera, with a magnifi cent cast directed by Des
McAnuff. With the sensational Bruce Dow, Brent Carver, Chilina
Kennedy and Paul Nolan – and headed for California and then,
perhaps, Broadway!
• Camelot (Festival Theatre, to Oct. 30): The book is top-heavy
with whimsical fantasy, and the story of King Arthur, Guinevere,
Lancelot and Mordred goes on too long but the Lerner and Loewe
score proves its class in this sumptuous, gorgeously designed pro-
duction directed by American Gary Griffi n. A treat for eye and
ear.
• The Grapes of Wrath (Avon Theatre, to Oct. 29): The classic
Steinbeck novel about the 1930s Dust Bowl and the noble Joad
family who survive tests of the human spirit. Antoni Cimolino di-
rects Frank Galati’s Tony Award-winning play with a fi ne cast, and
an exceptionally good performance by Janet Wright as Ma Joad.
• The Misanthrope (Festival Theatre, to Oct. 29): Moliere’s acer-
bic satire about an inveterate social critic who succumbs to a
beautiful social butterfl y who turns his world upside-down.
Richard Wilbur’s rhyming couplets have the mischievous lyrical
bounce of Alexander Pope, and David Grindley’s gimmick-free
direction shows that some museum theatre can be truly beauti-
ful and absorbing when it has superb visual design and a cast
that includes the always delectable Sara Topham, suave Juan
Chioran, the very funny Peter Hutt, marvellous Kelli Fox and
the most versatile Canadian actor of this era, Ben Carlson, who
gives a central performance of incisive honesty, clarity and rhe-
torical virtuosity.
Also worth a view: Pinter’s The Homecoming at the Avon (a
chilling, rancid black comedy, starring Tony Award-winner Brian
Dennehy), Tom Rooney’s very original Malvolio in Shakespeare’s
Twelfth Night at the Festival, and John Mighton’s The Little Years
at the Studio (only till Sept. 24), a superbly acted Canadian play
about lost opportunities.
Shaw Festival, Niagara on the Lake
• My Fair Lady (Festival Theatre, till Oct. 30). A fi rst-rate, un-
orthodox re-envisioning by American Molly Smith, who takes the
Lerner and Loewe musical to new heights with this joyous, exu-
berantly danced and sung version, starring Deborah Hay, Benedict
Campbell, Neil Barclay and Patrick Galligan. • Cat on a Hot Tin
Roof (Royal George Theatre, till Oct. 23). The dramatic tempera-
ture gets really hot in this sultry Tennessee Williams play about
mendacity and frustration in a dysfunctional Southern family.
With a sexy performance by Moya O’Connell as Maggie, a very
good one from Gray Powell as her alienated husband Brick, and
a toweringly impassioned and intimidating one by Jim Mezon as
Big Daddy. Also worth viewing: The Admirable Crichton (Festival,
to Oct. 29) and the Irish comedy Drama at Inish (Court House, to
Oct. 1), in which Thom Marriott and Corrine Koslo are brilliantly
comic in their send-up of old-style touring players.
***
There are only two major Ontario cities with large-scale theatre,
Toronto and Ottawa, and while they cannot compete with the big
festival companies, they often come up with admirable surprises.
Ottawa
In mid-October, the English section of the National Arts Centre is
presenting David French’s best-known romantic comedy, Salt-Wa-
ter Moon, in which 18-year old Jacob Mercer returns to Newfound-
land from Toronto, hoping to win back his former sweetheart. This
production is a modest but
sincere tribute to the memo-
ry of the late David French,
and it is of a play that brims
with dreamy affection
and comedy.
Toronto
The best ensemble reper-
tory acting in the province
(probably even the country)
occurs at Soulpepper, and
their fall menu offers searing
domestic drama with wry,
darkly comic twists by way
of Judith Thompson’s White
Biting Dog (to Oct. 1), di-
rected by Nancy Palk.
Also on view is Arthur
Miller’s The Price (to Oct. 6,
directed by Diana Leblanc)
in which two estranged
brothers meet in a con-
demned home to sell their
father’s possessions and dis-
cover that their actions and
memories have more of a
price than any family heir-
looms ever could.
Mirvish Productions often
defi nes large-scale theatre
in Toronto, chiefl y by virtue
of musicals, though David
Mirvish starts things off by
luring Kim Cattrall (Sex and
the City) back to Canada
to star opposite handsome
Paul Gross in Noel Coward’s
hilarious Private Lives, that
deathless classic about a di-
vorced couple rediscovering
each other’s passions, faults
and charms on the French
Riviera. (Royal Alexandra
Theatre, September and Oc-
tober)
Over at the Princess of
Wales (September and Oc-
tober), ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus
and Benny Andersson collaborate with lyricist Tim Rice to concoct
Chess, an elaborate musical allegory of political intrigue centred
around two great chess masters, one American, one Russian, who
battle for the world championship in Bangkok, with the love of
a woman as an important award. This new production has an
all-star British cast and comes directly from its UK tour, and just
ahead of its West End debut.
And fi nally, looking ahead to November, Dancap Productions
follows up its August presentation of the Sinatra-fl avoured Come
Fly Away with musical comedy The Addams Family, created by Jer-
sey Boys authors Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with Drama
Desk-winning composer/lyricist Andrew Lippa. Runs Nov. 16 to
27 at the Toronto Centre for the Arts.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a short-term,

In fact, study after study has shown CBT to be as
effective as pills for the treatment of depression and
more effective than pills for the treatment of anxiety.

So many favorite fruits have short growing seasons.
Come September many of us long for the delicious
fresh strawberries, blueberries and cherries of sum-
mer. While tangerines, oranges and pears are good
healthy fall and winter fruit choices, they don't pro-
vide the same nutrients as fruits and berries with their
deep red, purple and blue colours.
Plant compounds that prevent oxidation, or free
radical damage, are called antioxidants and some of
the most potent antioxidant sources are those red and
purple fruits. Antioxidants help prevent disease, im-
prove blood glucose levels, boost immunity and slow
aging. Cranberries, blueberries and exotic tropical
fruits like acai and mangosteen, offer high antioxidant
potency.
When you can't get the 'real' thing fresh, you can
boost antioxidant health support by choosing potent
real fruit concentrates, like webber naturals Blueberry
36:1 Concentrate supplement. The “36:1” means that
each gram of blueberry concentrate is equivalent to 36
grams of fresh blueberries! While a fruit concentrate
supplement doesn't taste like blueberries, your body
will appreciate the antioxidant support.

The book tells the tale of Ryan’s fundrais-
ing efforts, which began at the age of nine
and culminated in a trip to Uganda to meet
the villagers in Agweo, where his well was
built.
Along the way he met Akana Jimmy,
a young Ugandan who wanted to thank
Ryan in person for the well.
The boys formed a fast friendship that
continues today, with the Hreljac family
eventually adopting the young Ugandan
and bringing him to Canada.
“I was very inspired by the story myself,”
said Ms. West, who learned of the book
after hearing Ryan, who is now 19, speak
at an event.
“I think it’s a great story and I try to
share it with as many kids as I can because
it shows kids that they can make a differ-
ence, and I think that’s so important.”
For Jamie, who was unaware that many
people in the world don’t have easy access
to clean water, the story struck a nerve.
“I felt bad because as Canadians we’re
wealthy, we have water at the flick of a
tap,” she said.
“In Africa some people have to walk up
to 20 kilometres for water. I thought if I did
something then they might be able to put
wells in places (where they) don’t have
water. I felt inspired
because the story is so
great, and I learned a
lot from reading it.”
Her efforts
are now focused on
Ryan’s Well Founda-
tion, a charity started
by Ryan to raise funds
for additional well
construction in Afri-
ca.
Since its incep-
tion in 2001, the foun-
dation has helped to build 680 wells. After
receiving permission from Ms. West and
Cathy Grant, CEO of the Pickering Library,
Jamie and her brother Lucas, 8, created
an information poster and a donation box
in the shape of a well, which was placed
at the Central Library’s front entrance in
early August.
“When I heard, it was like ‘Chicken Soup
for the Librarian’s Soul’” Ms. Grant said,
laughing.
“Because this is what you hope for, that
when you share a story someone will be
inspired by it. This is a perfect example of
that.”
So far, Jamie has raised more than $85 for
the foundation, and the collection box will
remain at the library until Tuesday, Sept.
6.
After that, Jamie hopes to transfer it
to the front lobby of St. Wilfrid Catholic
School, where she will be starting Grade 7
in September.
“I hope to leave it there for the whole
year if I’m allowed,” she said of the dona-
tion box, noting that she has some fund-
raising experience from playing rep hock-
ey, but has never tried raising money on
her own.
“I hope my friends and other people see
what I’m doing and try to do something
like that, because everyone can help.”

Fast Facts
Facts about
water sanitation
• 884 million people lack access to an improved
water supply.
• At any given time, half the world’s hospital beds
are occupied by people suf-
fering from water-related
diseases.
• While basic needs
vary, the minimum thresh-
old of water use is 20
litres per day. Factoring
in bathing and laundry
needs would increase
this to 50 litres per day.
• Most of the nearly one billion people lacking
access to clean water live on about five litres of
water a day. That’s about one-tenth the amount
needed to flush a standard toilet.
• A person can live about a month without food,
but only about a week without water.

Panthers coming along as season nears
coach Mike Galati
pleased with how
team is buying in
SHawn cayley
scayley@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Despite suffer-
ing a fourth straight pre-season
loss last week, things are look-
ing up for the Pickering Panthers,
according to head coach Mike
Galati.
“The first three games we didn’t
have many of the guys that are
going to play here. We added a
few more veterans to the lineup
and we did a lot better,” the first-
year head coach said in reference
to last Friday’s 3-1 loss against
the Aurora Tigers. “That was their
team in Aurora. They went with
the guys they are going to go with
and we played a good game. A
2-1 game with an empty netter,
but really it could have been 2-1
the other way. We had opportuni-
ties to score and just didn’t bear
down enough.”
Perhaps the most impressive
aspect Galati pulled from the
game was his team’s work ethic.
They went hard from start to fin-
ish, and seem to be grasping the
concepts being preached to them
by the coaching staff.
“The work ethic, there has been
a huge improvement. As a staff,
we wanted to install the work
ethic before anything and I think
we’ve done that,” he said. “The
guys work hard and they are well
conditioned after two weeks.
“Now we’ll just work on things
that will make us better as a hock-
ey team.”
That, however, is going to take
some time. Despite the fact train-
ing camp is winding down, the
Panthers still have a lot of moving
parts.
A couple of players are out nurs-
ing minor injuries and several
others departed earlier this week
to attend Ontario Hockey League
camps, including Andrew Gold-
berg, Aiden Wallace, Matt Bal-
dassara, Billy Lovatsis and goalie
JP Cesario.
While the team would love to
have kept them around for Thurs-
day’s exhibition season finale
against Trenton, Galati wished
them the best in their quest to
impress at the OHL level.
“You’ve got to give them that
opportunity and all the best to
them. If they stick that’s great,”
Galati said, before adding he does
expect most of the departed to be
back in the fold by the weekend.
At that point he expects to hud-
dle with his staff and GM Rob Tof-
foli to hash out their final roster.
“I am assuming by the week-
end we’ll have a final roster put
together,” noted Galati.
The one player most likely not
to return within that time frame is
Cesario, who will be in camp with
the OHL champion Owen Sound
Attack. Cesario played a game for
the club last season and Galati
expects the Klienberg native will
see some exhibition action with
the Attack during the pre-season.
Pickering has also added a few
players via trade recently, pick-
ing up Sean Levac in a deal with
Cobourg, Justin Periera in a trade
with Aurora and Darryl Snelling
in a trade with Wellington.
Snelling, a former third round
draft pick of the Belleville Bulls,
decided against reporting to the
team’s training camp earlier this
week, according to a report out of
Belleville.
Galati said the Ajax native
should be in uniform for the Pan-
thers sometime in the next seven
to 10 days.
The Panthers open the regu-
lar season Sept. 9 at home to the
Toronto Junior Canadiens.

Luca Gasparotto signs with Glasgow Rangers FC
ajax resident will
focus on soccer

bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The strong impression
Luca Gasparotto was able to leave
on the soccer pitch in just one
week has secured his future for
the next three years.
A week was all he had to impress
the Glasgow Rangers Football
Club in Scotland during a tryout
arranged by his agent. The day
before he was scheduled to leave,
the club made sure to get his
name on a contract before getting
back on the plane for home.
“I headed over, trained there
for a week and played a couple of
games with them,” he said of the
audition. “The day before I left
they offered me a contract and
said they were interested in me.”
The 16 year old from Ajax will
literally live and breathe soccer
six days a week with the academy.
Two a day workouts are held on
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday, with games on Saturday.
Wednesday is set aside for school,
with a tutor available any evening
if needed. Sunday will be an off
day.
“It’s every kid’s dream to go
overseas and play with a profes-
sional team’s academy and hope-
fully get to be on the professional
team one day,” said Gasparotto
before departing. “I’m really look-
ing forward to it, but I’m also real-
ly nervous. I think once I get there
I’ll be fine.”
He will billet with a family while
living in Scotland, returning home
for a break at Christmas, another
in March, and for five weeks in
the summer.
Originally, he was looking into
the opportunity of going to Italy
to join the AC Milan academy,
but passport issues prevented
that deal from getting completed.
The graduate of the Ajax Soccer
Club had a busy summer in prep-
aration for his trip overseas. Play-
ing with the national U17 team as
an underage -- he’s a year young-
er than the others -- Gasparotto
helped Canada qualify for the
World Cup.
At the CONCACAF qualifier held
in Jamaica, Canada advanced to
the gold medal game before los-
ing to the United States 3-0, with
all three goals coming in extra
time.
“It was really good because
nobody expected us to get that
far,” said Gasparotto of the nation-
al team’s accomplishments. “We
didn’t let a goal in until the final
game.”
At the World Cup in Mexico in
June, Canada managed a cou-
ple of draws against England
and Rwanda, but didn’t earn
enough points to advance to the
next round. Despite being a year
younger, Gasparotto played every
minute of every game. He wasn’t
there to sit, watch and learn.
“I was there to play and it was
a good learning experience,” he
said of the opportunity.
He’s expecting the same of the
Glasgow experience.

OntariO HOckey League
Oshawa Generals welcome
Daniel Altshuller to crease
OHL team surrenders four
draft picks for new goalie
Brian Mcnair
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Considering he has yet to play
a single OHL game, it’s a little early to say
the Oshawa Generals have solved their
goaltending concerns with the acquisition
of Daniel Altshuller.
But, considering what the 17-year-old
Nepean native has accomplished in the
past year, that may well be the case, and it’s
sure to add to the excitement level as the
Generals head into their 75th anniversary
season with high expectations.
Altshuller, who
has won gold med-
als with Ontario’s
under-17 team and
Canada’s under-18
team in the span
of eight months, is
certainly pumped
since being dealt
Tuesday from the
Belleville Bulls,
along with a fifth
round draft pick in
2015, in exchange for second and fourth
round picks in 2012, a second round pick
in 2014 and a fifth round pick in 2013.
“I know they have a great team with a
great history of lots of players being draft-
ed into the NHL, especially as of recent,” he
said by phone shortly after the trade was
made official. “I just know that their orga-
nization and coaching staff is one of the
top ones in the league.”
Altshuller, who turned 17 last month,
was originally Belleville’s third round pick,
45th overall in the 2010 OHL draft, one pick
after the Generals selected defenceman
Josh Brown.
Chris DePiero, head coach and gener-
al manager of the Generals, said the team
had Altshuller on the radar at the time, but
had decided to go with a defenceman after
having chosen forwards Scott Laughton
and Mark Petaccio in the first two rounds.
The third goalie taken in that draft, Alt-
shuller played last year for his hometown
Nepean Raiders of the CCHL, where he
posted a 3.22 GAA and a .906 save percent-
age in 43 games.
But he distinguished himself even more
in international play, especially in leading
Canada to a gold medal at the recent Ivan
Hlinka Memorial U18 tournament, where
he was a teammate of Laughton’s. There,
he had a 4-1 record with a 1.29 GAA and
won player of the game honours in the
final for Canada.
Altshuller was also Team Ontario’s goal-
ie at the 2011 Under-17 Hockey Challenge
last December, leading that team to gold as
well, with a 1.66 GAA and a .924 save per-
centage in six games.
“We feel that acquiring him and some of
the experiences he’s
had on the interna-
tional stage, winning
some gold medals
at the recent Ivan
Hlinka tournament
and at the under-
17, we feel that puts
him in good stead in
terms of having that
pedigree behind
him,” said DePiero.
“He’s highly touted
and we’re excited about having him come
in and be a part of the Oshawa Generals.”
Altshuller became expendable in Bel-
leville due to the strength in goal there
with Malcolm Subban and the recently-
acquired John Chartrand.
There had been some talk that he was
considering going to the NCAA to play,
but that changed after the trade was made,
and he reported to the Generals’ first day of
training camp Wednesday.
Already considered a top goaltending
prospect for the 2012 NHL draft, Altshull-
er will likely battle to be the go-to guy in
Oshawa, despite the fact Kevin Bailie is two
years his senior.
“I’m just focusing on winning as many
games as possible and the rest will just fall
into place,” he said.
“I’ll be the guy who works the hardest
and does everything he can to make that
possible.”
i just know that their
organization and coaching staff is
one of the top ones in the league.
