Prosecutor Kerri-Ann Kennedy also indi- cated negotiations are under way to resolve the case by way of a plea. “There are ongoing discussions,” Ms. Kennedy said Wednesday morning, after a brief hearing during which the matter was adjourned until November. The 12-year-old accused, whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Jus- tice Act, was not present. He’s represented by lawyer David Maubach, who declined to comment. The courtroom in Oshawa was packed with members of Mitchell’s family and their supporters. Outside court Mitch- ell’s dad, Craig, said it’s his family’s hope his son’s tragic story will shed light on the issue of bullying among young people. A family’s hope amid despair STATEMENT OF BULLIED PICKERING BOY MAY BE HEARD IN COURT SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Craig Wilson, centre, with his mother Pam, left, and his wife Tiffany Usher by his side, addressed the media Sept. 28, after court was adjourned in the case regarding a 12-year-old boy who was charged with the assault of Mr. Wilson’s son Mitchell.

Just as the 5:10 p.m. train pulled in to Union Station, Mr. Koshil, who had been scheduled for coronary artery bypass sur- gery in late October, collapsed and went into cardiac arrest on Platform 12. The 60-year-old Scotiabank technology manager was lucky GO customer service ambassador Derek Thompson was in the vicinity. “A woman came running up from the end of the platform, yelling that a man had col- lapsed,” Mr. Thompson said. “He was pale and turning blue with about one breath a minute.” After about four minutes Mr. Koshil stopped breathing, so Mr. Thompson, 26, fastened a portable automated external defibrillator to Mr. Koshil’s chest and hit the shock button. He then performed 10 seconds of CPR before Mr. Koshil coughed and started breathing. Paramedics arrived soon after and rushed Mr. Koshil to St. Michael’s Hospital. His sur- gery was bumped up to Sept. 12. “I knew I was overexerting myself,” said Mr. Koshil, now recovering at his Scarbor- ough home. “I should have let the train go and caught a later one.” GO customer service reps receive first- aid and CPR training and are instructed to bring an automated defibrillator to any emergency. Mr. Koshil and Mr. Thompson have yet to meet. Mr. Thompson, who lives in Pickering, has reached out to the family after a thank-you message was published in t.o.night’s “Shout Out” section last week- end. He was recently awarded a certificate of recognition by GO Transit. “I couldn’t imagine my family members going through this without anyone around them,” said Mr. Thompson, who had never used CPR, let alone an automated defibril- lator. “I was trying to stay calm and confi- dent and do the best I could.” Mr. Thompson wasn’t the only Good Samaritan at the scene. Mr. Koshil had just purchased a 10-ride ticket and it was still in his hand when he fell unconscious. The stranger who retrieved the ticket saw the “Shout Out” and e-mailed in, explaining she had slipped it into Mr. Koshil’s briefcase. “I checked last Friday and it was there,” Mr. Koshil said. “Not only is there that feel- ing that people are willing to help, but there are honest people out there who won’t take advantage of a situation.” GO Transit has about 100 automated defi- brillators scattered across its rail network. According to the Toronto Safe City pro- gram, the devices have been used 16 times in the GTA since September 2010, saving the lives of nine people.

The attack was the start of a downward spiral for Mitchell, who was bullied by other kids and fearful of having to go to court to testify, he said. On Labour Day Mitch- ell received notice he was to testify on Sept. 28. When his father went to wake him for the first day of school the next day, he found the child dead, a plastic bag secured around his head. The suicide was devastating for Mitchell’s dad and grandparents, who were recover- ing from the death of the boy’s mother three years ago. Pam Wilson, Mitchell’s grand- mother, cradled a picture of the smiling boy as she spoke outside the courthouse. “After Mitchell’s mom died, he became like a son to me,” she said. “It isn’t OK to beat a little disabled kid and get away with it,” a weeping Mrs. Wilson said. “It’s not right. It’s broken my heart to lose my grandson. He was my only grand- child and now he’s gone. It’s horrible.” Still, she empathizes with the boy who’s accused of robbing Mitchell. “We don’t want to victimize him,” Mrs. Mitchell said. “He’s just a child, too.” Mitchell’s aunt Cheryl Wilson, a high school teacher, agreed. “We can’t bring Mitchell back,” she said. “All we can do is make change for the future.” In court Wednesday, Justice Mary Teresa Devlin granted the adjournment requested by Ms. Kennedy, instructing the lawyers to use the time between now and November to either reach a resolution or prepare for trial. “It’s important enough that a lot of people have come to court to see what’s happening today,” the judge noted. Mr. Wilson said his family has been con- sulted on the potential elements of a plea arrangement. The family has asked that they be allowed to read victim impact state- ments into the record if that occurs, he said. Failing that, Mr. Wilson is hopeful a state- ment Mitchell gave police following the incident last year will be allowed at trial. “Mitchell’s voice will still be heard through his affidavit,” he said. “Our intention as a family was to try to reach the (accused) boy to show him his behaviour has an impact.” Among the members of the public at the courthouse Wednesday were a number of young people, one of them a boy who didn’t want his name published but identified himself as Mitchell’s best friend. The young man, like several others at the courthouse, said he was alarmed by speculation the MITCHELL’S from page 1 courts ‘Mitchell’s voice will still be heard through his affidavit’: Pickering dad charges might be dropped because Mitch- ell’s not here to testify. “I wanted to see (the case) go ahead,” the boy said. The matter returns to court Nov. 21.

Organizing committee member Matt Leduc said that tally was about $3,000 more than last year and close to 400 people par- ticipated in the run along the Ajax water- front. Mr. Leduc said perfect weather and enthu- siastic volunteers made the day a success. Proceeds from the run benefit the Terry Fox Foundation and Mr. Leduc said 87 cents of every $1 raised goes directly to can- cer research.

Starting with the widely despised health tax introduced in his first term of govern- ment in 2003, which Mr. McGuinty imple- mented after promising not to raise taxes at all, Ontarians have been hit with a host of new costs on a regular basis. They’re paying more for heating bills with the har- monized sales tax. They paid higher fees for ecologically related consumer items -- the so-called eco-tax -- before the gov- ernment retreated. They’re still paying off the old hydro debt retirement charge, and were informed last year the payments are being extended for another several years. They’re subsidizing the cost of the nascent solar energy sector, an ongoing and expensive proposition that continues to show few positive results. It’s time for change in Ontario, led by a young and energetic leader and a Progres- sive Conservative team that will reduce the onerous levels of taxation built up over the last eight years, strip layers of red tape and bureaucracy for business, overhaul Ontario’s outdated apprenticeship pro- gram to create new jobs, reduce income and business tax rates and introduce a bill of rights for small business. These are the options voters face on Oct. 6 as they head to the polls. In Durham Region and across Ontario, voters are faced with a simple question: after eight years of Liberal governance, are we any better off for all of the additional revenues collected at every turn by the provincial government? Ontarians have an opportunity for a new approach in these difficult times. Keen fis- cal stewardship that doesn’t rely entire- ly on personal and business taxation is a good place to start. Undoing the costly experiments of the McGuinty government -- over-the-top taxpayer subsidies for the solar energy sector is a good example -- would be another area ripe for review and reform. A reduction in personal income taxes and business tax rates as promised by the Progressive Conservatives would bring timely and necessary relief to Ontar- ians, and provide an economic boost. Ontario is at a critical juncture as this provincial election looms. A government committed to reducing the tax burden, creating conditions for prosperity and reducing the footprint of government that intrudes daily into our lives is the govern- ment Ontario needs today.

Last week, Facebook launched changes to correspond with its annual conference, f8, and for many the immediate reactions were negative. And then we got used to it. The biggest changes centred around the popular newsfeed. Facebook now has Top Stories and Recent Stories in one news- feed. Top Stories are the ones Facebook thinks you’ll find the most interesting and they’re also marked with a little blue dog- ear. Scroll down a bit and you get to your most recent stories. Stories include status updates from your friends and the links and photos they share. Then on the right hand side there’s a tick- er for other types of news such as when a friend comments on someone else’s status, likes something or is tagged in a photo. Hover over a ticker item and it pops out for you to see more. You can then jump into the conversation through the little pop out without having to navigate away from your page. In addition to “liking” Facebook will be adding new verbs like “cooking”, “running” and “listening” for activities, expanding on the tendency of Facebook users to docu- ment actions in their lives. The ticker moves fast, kind of like Twit- ter, so it’s a snapshot of exactly what your friends are up to at that moment. And coming soon is the new timeline feature set to be launched in the next few weeks which Facebook has dubbed as a way to “tell your story with a new kind of profile”. A sample of what it will look like is available at facebook.com/about/timeline. With large photos and a fun layout, frank- ly, it looks great. In addition to highlighting current sta- tus updates and activities, the timeline will also share and highlight memorable posts and events. If you fill it out it will be a snap- shot of your life. For those of us who have been on Face- book for a number of years, we already have weddings, births and travel stories we can include in timeline. Timeline also allows us to integrate apps like Netflix so we can share what we’re watching or the music we’re listening to or the route of a morning run. When the whole package comes together, it seems like a more effective way to inte- grate our real lives with what we put out online. Folks who marvel at the level of personal information people tend to post online will probably be staggered by the new Face- book. But those who love updating their profiles and keeping up with their friends will spend even more time sharing their life. As for Facebook, one columnist wisely pointed out that Facebook users aren’t the company’s customers, its advertisers are. I’m sure all the changes will allow for better and more seamless ad targeting for people who use the apps and mock ups of timelines for companies look much more personal and unique. With sites like Google+ going after Face- book, I think users will find Facebook has upped its game and they’ll find themselves once again addicted to the undisputed leader in the world of social media.

Reka Szekely Facebook freshens up and gives users more reasons to log on durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 29, 20117 P With an estimated $100-billion shortfall, hopefuls discuss funding Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- With many municipalities struggling to keep up with needed infra- structure improvements and repairs, pro- vincial candidates say government fund- ing is necessary. The Federation of Canadian Municipali- ties has estimated the municipal infrastruc- ture backlog at $123 billion, including need- ed repairs and unbuilt infrastructure. To deal with the looming spectre of failing infrastruc- ture, NDP leader Andrea Horwath has float- ed the idea of creating a sustainable annual funding framework so municipalities can fund infrastructure without having to apply for funding per project. Green Party candidate Kevin Smith sup- ports the idea of sustainable funding, saying his party would move to create a new per- manent and predictable funding system for municipal roads and bridges, but only after the budget is balanced. “The government has $100 billion of unrepaired or unbuilt infra- structure, but doesn’t have $100 billion; this is a long-term problem that needs a long- term approach to fixing,” he explained. “One of our first priorities should be to bal- ance the budget, as interest payments on the debt will continue to drain available funding. The next step is to prioritize those projects that have the greatest impact on reducing our energy consumption, like promoting active transportation such as walking and cycling, and those that have the lowest yearly mainte- nance costs.” Conservative candidate Kevin Gaudet said sustainable funding wouldn’t be feasible for capital projects, but that a Conservative gov- ernment would support municipalities by expanding the number of cities who receive gas tax transfers from the current 89 to 444. He said he would also like to see a more bal- anced approach to projects and derided what he called the “war on the car,” noting a Con- servative government would build out Hwy. 407 to relieve congestion. “We’re looking at increasing spending for transit and infrastructure by $34 billion over three years,” he said. “That would be based on a couple of princi- ples, which include making all projects trans- parent so they would be accessible on the Internet, and the projects need to be balanced so we can stop the war on the car. Something that will be important on the Pickering front is increasing the cities who are getting the gas tax transfer. Historically, Durham gets $1 of every $10 Mississauga gets, so it would be nice to see a renewed focus on this area.” Liberal candidate Tracy MacCharles emphasized the Liberals have taken the province from an environment where the previous PC government was freezing tran- sit funding and closing hospitals to an era of investment, with 18 hospitals and 550 pub- lic schools built since 2003 and $11 billion in transit funding provided. She referenced the Liberal’s long-term Building Together infrastructure plan as con- crete evidence of the party’s commitment to supporting municipalities’ infrastructure needs. The plan details $35 billion in fund- ing to be doled out over 10 years and would build on infrastructure advancements and improvements made under the government’s stimulus program. “We’ve worked closely with municipali- ties to stimulate the economy and lessen the impact of the recession on families,” she explained. “We already have in place the ability for municipalities to have some infusion of funds such as the 2 per cent gas tax for pub- lic transit, and our commitment to upload costs such as public health and ODSP will free up municipalities to deal with smaller investments. We’re going to keep working with municipalities as we’ve always done to ensure their infrastructure needs are met; we’re going to keep doing what we’re doing because we think it works well.” NDP candidate Nerissa Carino did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

According to the Liberal Party’s platform, the $10,000 tax credit was intended to offset the training costs for companies integrating foreign-trained workers who have been in Canada five years or less. Liberal incumbent Joe Dickson said he was “embarrassed” by the way PC leader Tim Hudak has characterized the issue as an affir- mative action plan for foreign workers and said the tax credit was proposed for fields such as engineering, accounting and archi- tecture. He said the idea came after consultation from professional associations in those fields. “We were dealing with a situation where pro- fessional organizations, those representing engineers, accountants and architects, faced a shortage and they wanted to eliminate the shortage of employees,” he said. Mr. Dickson also pointed out that this isn’t a new idea and after the Second World War, displaced persons were housed in Ajax and they received help including language les- sons. Ajax-Pickering Progressive Conservative Todd McCarthy said the plan amounts to picking winners and losers among unem- ployed Ontarians. “We should never pick and choose one individual or one group of individuals over another. We must ensure first of all that the half million Ontarians of every race, creed, colour and religion who are unemployed get jobs and contribute to soci- ety and have long-lasting, well-paying jobs.” For immigrants who need language help, the PC Party is suggesting a $400 tax credit for employers who sponsor language training. Generally, Mr. McCarthy said his party would reduce the corporate tax rate to 10 per cent and offer up other incentives for busi- nesses including vowing to reduce govern- ment red tape by 30 per cent, making it easier for businesses to get the permits and approv- als they need. As well, he wants to get rid of smart meters for small businesses. “With those three items in place, I can tell you as a small business person those are key aspects of ensuring cash flow is strong and the burden of administration is reduced and the decision that is made as a result of that, more often than not, involves reinvestment in the business by creating new jobs,” said Mr. McCarthy, who is a partner in the law firm of Flaherty Dow Elliott and McCarthy. On his jobs plan, Mr. Dickson said his gov- ernment has reduced the business tax on small businesses from 5.5 to 4.5 per cent and there are further reductions coming. He said the Liberal Party is also committed to reduc- ing the corporate tax rate to 10 per cent. He pointed out his government had already reduced the corporate tax rate from 14 per cent to 12 per cent. “Lower taxes allow busi- nesses to be more competitive and to gener- ate more sales, but in the big picture what it really does is it means more jobs and more people working,” he said. Mr. Dickson also said his party has invested in local jobs including helping bring an ACS Technologies line to Whitby from Mexico. For the NDP, Evan Wiseman talked about a $4,500 tax credit for companies that create a job. He said that tax credit helps all Ontarians who are unemployed. In order to help immigrants to Canada, Mr. Wiseman said more needs to be done to help newcomers navigate the Canadian bureau- cracy. “There need to be more networks in place to help people get acclimatized to Canada and help them get the jobs they need and that they were trained for,” he said. He mentioned one case where he met a trained surgeon from Afghanistan working as a stock boy. “You cannot tell me that because he was trained in another country he’s only qualified to work as a stock boy in a hardware store. There’s no way that is possible.” Green Party candidate Steven Toman said the key is to help immigrants gets their cre- dentials recognized in Canada, particularly by professional boards, so they can have the same opportunities as other Canadians. “The Green Party believes we shouldn’t be picking and choosing and we shouldn’t be interfering with how the private sector decides to hire people,” he said. aJaX-Pickering riDing Election candidates tackle jobs, immigration issues durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 29, 20118 AP ©2011 Sears Canada Inc.

And on Friday, Sept. 16, the Durham Region Media Group discovered exactly what goes on in Durham over a 24-hour period. The results of that work will be featured in a publication titled Night and Day, to run in late October, showcasing what local residents did during a typical day. From births to weddings and families get- ting ready to face the day, we’ll document it all in the publication. We found out how Durham residents unwind at the end of a day and what they do for fun. From the chaos at a popular restaurant at lunch time to the tranquil scen- ery of a grounds crew getting a golf course ready for the day, our team was there to wit- ness it. Photographers and reporters were in all cor- ners of Durham that day, out in the communi- ties we cover, for 24 hours. But this day wasn’t just for our staff. As part of our 24-hour project, Durham shut- terbugs have the opportunity to show us the images they capture that day. To enter, go to the photo contest tab on our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/newsdurham, and upload a web-ready version of your pho- tos. You can upload and vote for your favorite photos until Sept. 30. Amateur photographers can enter pictures in categories for landscape, people, architec- ture, nature and abstract.

Participants have a chance to have their artwork featured on a limited edi- tion TD FEF reusable shopping bag, and win a $7,500 environmental grant for their school. “We regularly hear from teachers about the importance students place on pro- tecting the environment, so we devel- oped the art contest with Earth Day Can- ada to engage students and instill a life- long passion for protecting nature,” said Mary Desjardins, executive director, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. “It’s a great opportunity for elementary school students to appreciate the natu- ral world while having fun creating their masterpiece.” The $7,500 environmental grant will be used towards the development of an outdoor classroom or a schoolyard natu- ralization project. The winning student will also receive a digital camera valued at approximately $250, and a litterless lunchbox for each student in their class. Nine secondary winners will receive a $500 environmental grant for their school, $25 cash and a litterless lunch box. The drawings may also be featured in the 2012-2013 edition of Earth Day Can- ada’s EcoKids Calender. The deadline for entries is 5 p.m. on Oct. 14, with winners to be announced Nov. 16.

On Sept. 16, more than 100 sup- porters gathered at Glen Cedars golf course in Pickering to honour local youth volunteers as part of the annual Terry James event. A dedicated volunteer, the late Mr. James helped to spearhead local Special Olympics swim meets and raised funds for the Best Diabetes Centre as part of his role as president of the Ajax- Pickering Civitan Club. He also helped to organize the Durham Seniors Games and was president of the event. To honour his legacy, the Terry James Honour the Vol- unteer organization hands out six $500 scholarships each year in six categories. Youth must be between six and 18 years of age and nominated by a youth group leader such as a coach, teacher, registered charity or community organization. Pickering’s Mahesh Persaud was recognized with the commu- nity/social service award in rec- ognition of his volunteer activities at Devi Mandir temple. The 18 year old has been volunteering at the temple for more than 10 years and runs the annual Devi Mandir Walk-a-thon in support of those with disabilities. The Sports Promotion Award- ed was handed out to Sunder- land’s Josie Linton, youth chair- man for the North Durham Relay for Life for the last three years. In 2011, Josie organized a silent auc- tion for the event that raised more than $3,000. Dev Ramkallie, of Ajax, was rec- ognized with the Environmen- tal Awareness award for his role in providing leadership on envi- ronmental improvements at Devi Mandir Temple and within the community. Dev leads a youth group focused on fundraising for environmental causes, which include running an annual Earth Day event. Oshawa’s Sarah Defoa was rec- ognized in the Performing/Visu- al Arts category. As a volunteer with the Rise Up Kids leadership team, Sarah helps serve breakfast to more than 30 children at risk two mornings a week and also helps them with games, crafts and music programs. The Health Awareness Award was awarded to Brooklin’s Lind- say Brown, who has campaigned for Heart and Stroke Foundation, volunteers at St. Vincent’s Soup Kitchen and has completed 25 hours of counsellor training with a focus on working with people with physical and mental disabili- ties. Also honoured in the Environ- mental Awareness Award was Pickering’s Alexandra Kasper. Alexandra was recognized for her efforts to organize a team of 150 students to participate in an environmental awareness event focused on reducing the use of cars and promoting walking and biking. She has also contributed more than 500 hours of volun- teering to various causes over the last four years. This was the fifth annual Terry James Honour the Volunteer golf tournament. In addition to the six scholarships, the balance of any funds raised goes to the Durham Community Foundation. communiTy Durham youth recognized for volunteerism submiTTed phoTo PICKERING -- Durham youth accepted their scholarship awards at the fifth annual Terry James Honour the Volunteer golf tournament.

But when blue jays are migrating, loose lines of them flying by day from woodlot to woodlot, they’re often silent. These gregarious birds, never very territorial, love to congregate. Small family groups of adults and young join together in late summer and move about the countryside, gathering at feeders, cornfields, wild apple trees, oaks, beech trees -- wherever there’s food, or where there’s a sleepy owl to pester. In years when there’s little wild food produced here, most jays leave Ontario in autumn, heading south to the acorn forests of the Carolinas. This year we should have a good number around all winter, filling their cheeks with sunflower seeds at feeders, then flying off to hide their cache and dine at their leisure. It’ll give us a chance to study the striking plumage of these beauti- ful birds up close, as it deserves to be seen. The colour blue doesn’t occur in pigments in a bird’s feath- ers, but is produced by refraction of light. Catch a blue jay in bright sun- shine and what looks grey or even black in shadow turns a glowing cobalt hue, truly one of the won- ders of evolution. Since adult jays molt in July and August, their black chest band and white wing marks are especially crisp right now, and their neck feathers most vivid. Every summer one or two read- ers report seeing “bald, black- headed” jays at their feeder -- ones whose head and crest feathers all molted at once, leaving them look- ing like a small vulture for a week or two. According to experts at the Cornell Ornithology Lab, it’s a nat- ural occurrence in rare individuals, and not the result of some strange feather mite infestation. The same thing happens with cardinals. Those crest feathers are so expres- sive -- raised in excitement, flat- tened when stealth is required -- that jays must feel truly naked with- out them, and have to rely more than ever on their wide variety of vocalizations to communicate with one another. Though quiet when nesting, blue jays are noisy birds that produce a number of unusual sounds, including hollow, throaty calls and clicking noises. They often imitate the screams and calls of hawks. And they’re smart. Members of the corvid family, along with crows, magpies and ravens, they have a long pedigree of intelligence. Fos- sil records show that corvids lived 25 million years ago. When Euro- pean settlers started clearing North American forests, blue jays readily adapted, and more recently have moved in from the woods and started nesting in urban settings right next to people’s houses. Seeds and nuts are staples of their diet, but these omnivores eat just about anything. Three-quar- ters of their food is vegetable, with grasshoppers, beetles and caterpil- lars making up most of the animal content. Jays are a natural control for tent caterpillar outbreaks. Durham outdoors writer Margaret Carney has more than 3,000 species on her life list of birds, seen in far-flung corners of the planet.

Scan this QR code for video of this week’s adopt-a-pet on the Kristen’s Kritters blog Dog flea treatment can kill cats KriSten CaliS kcalis@durhamregion.com This time of year, pets are bat- tling some of their biggest enemies: fleas. While many treatments are avail- able to help relieve the terrible itch, a local veterinarian is warning cat owners about dog products that could poison and even kill their precious felines. Dr. Ann Bissett-Strahl of Heron- gate Animal Hospital in Ajax treat- ed two cats just last week that had been poisoned after exposure to a flea treatment intended for dogs. Spot-on flea control for dogs, con- taining pyrethrins or pyrmethrins, can be toxic for cats. “They have a strong neurotoxin for cats,” she says. These cats were lucky to survive; in the past, some of Dr. Bissett- Strahl’s cases weren’t so lucky. In one of the two recent cases, the product that was used did not warn buyers not to use them on cats. It simply said it could be used on dogs or puppies. Cats are so sensitive to this treat- ment, Dr. Bissett-Strahl says, that they can even be affected by sim- ply coming into contact with a dog that is using it. She does not suggest using these products on a dog in a household where it has close con- tact with a cat. Although she doesn’t advocate over-the-counter products, if a cat owner cannot afford a flea treat- ment for their cats -- she suggests Advantage or Revolution -- she suggests a flea collar, Ovicollar, which is a preventative. “It’s $17 for the whole year,” she says. But since it simply keeps the fleas from infesting the pet, all pets in the household will have to wear one, she says. If you do decide to purchase a spot-on treatment for your feline, it must be spe- cifically labelled for cats. On top of the trauma to cats, this misuse can leave a pet owner in a tough financial spot. Affected cats are usually in the clinic for 12 to 48 hours, Dr. Bissett- Strahl says, and that plus the treat- ment can cost anywhere from $500 to $2,000. Flea Fighting tipS -from Health Canada -- Look for black particles the size of milled pepper on your pet’s skin -- Before using a flea control product, consult a veterinarian -- Be sure to use flea and tick control products only on the animal specified on the product label -- Keep the amount and combination of different chemical exposures to a mini- mum, especially if pets are already taking some form of medication -- Flea combs can remove some fleas, flea feces and dried blood. Focus comb- ing where the most fleas congregate on the pet, usually the neck or tail. -- Kill fleas in hot soapy water -- Vacuum carpets and cushioned furni- ture daily -- Clean around cracks and crevices on floors and along baseboards and basement - Steam-cleaning carpets will kill fleas in all stages with the hot steam and soap -- Wash all pet bedding and family bedding in hot, soapy water every two to three weeks -- Lift blankets by all four corners to avoid scattering the eggs and larvae -- If an infestation is severe, replace old pet bedding treatMent tipS -from Health Canada -- Some animals may develop a skin rash from flea collars -- Powders are not as effective for pets with thick coats -- Foams may be preferable to sprays for nervous pets, especially cats -- Flea shampoos will kill fleas on direct contact but provide little residual control -- Spot-on treatments, applied mainly between the shoulder blades and near the back of the neck, pro- vide longer term control of fleas for approximately one month DUrHaM -- a local vet is warning cat owners about the dangers of using spot-on flea treatments not intended for cats, as they can be lethal. 1445 Harmony Rd./Taunton E., Oshawa (Grooming Available)905-725-9225 300 Taunton Rd./Ritson Rd.,Oshawa905-433-5564 1 Warren Ave., Oshawa905-571-6235 TM durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 29, 201115 AP Open Saturday, October 1 The Altona Mennonite Meeting House The Bentley Gibson House Brougham Hall Pickering Civic Complex TRCA Claremont Field Centre Cleeve Horne Home Devi Mandir Herongate Barn Theatre Masjid E Usman, The Pickering Islamic Centre Mount Zion United Church Ontario Power Generation, Pickering Nuclear Information Centre Pickering Recreation Complex St Joseph of Arimathea Orthodox Church Thistle Ha’ Whitevale Schoolhouse The Caspar Willson House Open Sunday, October 2 Pickering Museum Village Greenwood Walking Tours On Saturday October 1 st, begin your self-guided tour at any of the 16 sites or visit the Doors Open Pickering hub, located in the Pickering Civic Complex.

It can easily break due to shock (if it drops) or from fatigue caused by continual micro-shocks while chewing. Fiber Force is a strong, esthetic, comfortable fiber reinforcement system that can be incor-porated into your new dentures. The unique technology uses impregnated specially-treated E glass fibers coated with a resin that bonds to the acrylic resin used to make dentures. A Fiber Force denture is more than 300% stronger than traditional acrylic dentures. Previous methods of strengthening dentures relied on various types of metal reinforcements. These methods added considerable weight and thickness to the denture. They didn’t bond to the denture resin base, which limited their strength. They were not esthetic. They transferred heat when consuming hot drinks. Fiber Force is a comfortable reinforcement system Fiber Force is a strong, esthetic, comfortable fi- ber reinforcement system that can be incorporated into your new dentures. Fast & Easy The Fiber Force process offers reliable and consistent results using specialized equipment and a custom technique that has been learned by your dental professional. The Fiber Force pro-cess does not add any delays to the time required to make your dentures. Fiber Force only adds a small percentage to the overall cost of your dentures. It is well worth the investment in relation to the increase in comfort and strength of your new dentures. All informa-tion provided by Synca.

Team members include Safiya Antrobus, Shanica Baker, Brittney Wharton, Kimeshia Henry, Racquelle Maragh, Jazlyn Simons, Alicia Chua, Brianna Thomas, Dakota Whyte, Stephanie D’Ornellas, Lorraine Enabulele, Tisha Malcolm. HigH scHooL Notre Dame ready to defend title Lady cougars host ajax news advertiser classic tournament brad KeLLy bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Last year, the Notre Dame Lady Cou- gars senior girls’ basketball team didn’t taste defeat until the final game of the season. The loss in the LOSSA final to rival Pickering was the only one the team encountered all season after reeling off 33 wins in a row lead- ing up to the game. It didn’t take as long this year to get a mark in the loss column. Which makes this week- end’s Notre Dame Ajax News Advertiser Bas- ketball Tournament all the more intriguing. After winning the Limestone Tipoff tourna- ment in Kingston four times in a row, Notre Dame was dethroned earlier this month, fall- ing 45-40 in the final to Holy Cross of Kingston in a game that was tied with a minute and a half to go. “It was good for us,” says head coach Rose Booker of the loss. “The girls were upset because we’ve won it all the time. I thought it was the best thing for us actually. “Last year we went to the LOSSA finals and were 33-0 and everyone said, ‘Don’t you wish you would have lost earlier?’” While the loss in Kingston may have been a character builder and helped the team grow with a little adversity early on, they obviously hope it’s not going start a trend. Especially this weekend, where Notre Dame are the five-time defending champions of their own tournament. Last year on their home court they were tested in the final by the third- ranked team in the province, Campion from Brampton, but prevailed 49-40. This year’s team will be led by fifth-year seniors Shanica Baker and Safiya Antro- bus, as well as Dakota Whyte, who spent the summer representing Canada at a couple of international events. Another player who will be looked to for her leadership is Racquelle Maragh. While she is still on the sidelines with a knee injury, Brianna Thomas will be a wel- comed addition when she returns to the fold. Notre Dame opens the eight-team tourna- ment on Friday at noon against Uxbridge. Other teams in the tournament are Holy Name (Windsor), Aurora, Dunbarton, J. Clarke Rich- ardson, St. Christopher (Sarnia) and Father Leo Austin (Whitby). The championship game is slated for Satur- day at 4 p.m. Beyond this weekend’s tournament, Booker says a trip back to OFSAA is the ultimate goal. Last year Notre Dame made its sixth consecu- tive trip to the LOSSA final, and had advanced to three OFSAA championships in a row, But after earning the No. 1 ranking in the GTA with their undefeated run, the were upset by the second-ranked team from Pickering 60-54 in the LOSSA championship game. “It is motivation,” says Booker of getting back at it. “Especially since it’s the last year for a few players and we want to make that trip to OFSAA. So that’s in the back of our mind.” soccer ajax’s chapman named to Pan american games roster OTTAWA -- The Canadian Soccer Association has selected its women’s roster for the Pan American Games Guadalajara 2011. Newly-hired coach John Herdman will have 17 players in red and white for the Women’s Football Tournament which runs Oct. 18-27, and among those players will be Ajax’s Candace Chapman. The 28-year-old defender and member of the Olympic team in 2008, Chapman will lead Canada into group match games against Costa Rica, Argentina and Brazil. The top two teams from each group advance to the semifi- nal stage and then from there the win- ners advance to the championship final on Oct. 27. In 2007, Canada’s women’s team won bronze following a 2-1 victory over Mexico. Canada previously won silver in 2003 and finished fourth in 1999. The Pan American Games Gua- dalajara 2011 will help serve Canada’s preparations for next year’s London 2012 Olympic Games. Canada’s qualification tournament takes place in January 2012 in Vancou- ver at BC Place Stadium. They will be going up against seven different CON- CACAF nations, fighting for two avail- able spots at the London Games. soccer Pickering’s caldaroni picks up two shutouts for Uoit OSHAWA -- While the UOIT Ridge- backs went 1-1-1 in their most recent three games in the OUA men’s soccer loop, Matt Calderoni of Pickering is enjoying a perfect run. The first-year goaltender collected a pair of shutouts, one in a 0-0 draw against the McMaster Marauders and the other in a 2-0 Ridgebacks victory over the Laurier Golden Hawks. In the McMaster game, while he faced just four shots, Caldaroni was key in keeping a tough Marauders offence off the board. McMaster came into the game with the conference’s top offence. The Laurier game saw Caldaroni make five saves and Andrew Serediuk boot home both UOIT goals on the rain- drenched pitch. Meanwhile, in between the win and the tie was a 1-0 loss to Brock. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 29, 201126 AP P065055CN Providing In surance and Financial Services statefarm.ca® State Farm ® Aurora, Ontario A time to gather with FA MILY AND FRIENDS.

The strategy has trans- formed from hoping to do well, to expecting to win games this season. In fact, the second-year bench boss feels that this year’s team is capable of finishing in the top six of the 18-team loop. “Last year we went into a game and hoped. Now we go into a game and expect,” said McDonald of the change in mindset. “There are certain teams in this league that we are going to expect to get two points out of.” Looking to build on a 14-15-5-2 record and opening-round playoff win against geographic rival Whitby last season, McDon- ald envisions a team that will score more this season with some added creativ- ity encouraged offensive- ly, while still playing solid defence. The scoring will have to come from differ- ent sources, as the top two scorers from last season, Marissa Maugeri (14-12- 26) and Carly Marchment (6-16-22), have graduated. Numbers three, four and five last season, Emily Kekewich (7-10-17), Rebec- ca Rutherford (7-8-15) and Marissa Redmond (9-5- 14), are back for another season, while some of the new additions in Taylor Edwards, Kennedy March- ment and Stephanie Coo- per will be relied on to pick up the slack. “We tried to go out and get a few goal scorers who have scored at other levels,” says McDonald. “It’s just a mat- ter of once they figure this level out if they can score at this level.” The defence will be anchored by returnees SaraJane Pratt and Lind- sey McDonald, while Jackie Rochefort returns to solidi- fy things in goal. Big things are also expect- ed from a couple of young- sters in Marchment and Lindsay Johnston, who are 1996 birthyears. March- ment, in fact, will wear her sister Carly’s number 11 from last season. “It is younger and there’s not a lot of 96 (born players) in the league,” says McDon- ald. “Kennedy Marchment, at every level she’s gone through she’s scored. She’s a natural goal scorer. We couldn’t pass up on her. “Lindsay Johnston, we believe she is going to be a top-five player in this league one day. If you watched her play, you would recognize it. “Division I scouts are ask- ing about them already. We’re very high on both of them. By the time they hit their third year in the league, they will be pre- miere players in this league. I have no doubt about that.” The leadership core of the team will come from Keke- wich, who has been named captain, while Rutherford, McDonald and Edwards will serve as assistants. Last weekend, the team got a little taste of Division I hockey falling 4-2 to Niag- ara and 7-0 to Quinnipiac, who are ranked in the top 10 in the country. This weekend the Light- ning will take a road trip, starting with an exhibition game Friday at the Univer- sity of Western Ontario, fol- lowed by a game in Wind- sor on Saturday and Blue- water on Sunday to open the regular season. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 29, 201127 AP Canadian Owned & Family Operated Your ProjectCentre ServingTheCommunityForOver61Years!WATCHFOROURUPCOMINGHUGEFLOORINGSALE!

Ajax 42, Denis O’Connor 7 The Ajax Rams, powered by four second-half touchdowns, downed the Denis O’Connor Chargers 42-7. At the half, the score was 14-0 on a couple of Morgan Humes touchdown receptions. Chris Hay scooped up a Charger fumble on the opening play of the second half and carried the ball 30 yards for another major. Alex McIlmoyle hauled in a 30-yard touch- down for Denis O’Connor’s lone score. Other Ajax scores came from Brad Benedetto with two touch- downs and Dougie Crawford with one. Crawford also con- verted all six touchdowns to fin- ish the game with 12 points.

After a valiant fight against glioblastoma brain cancer, Bill's battle ended peacefully on September 26, 2011 surrounded by his family. A husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, Bill leaves behind his wife and life-long companion, Debby, his daughters Rebecca (Jeff), Amy and Hollie (Sean). He was the adored Poppa to eight darling grandchildren: Lydia, Jacob, Lucus, Ashton, Emily, Nathan, Cole and Ciara. Beloved brother to Barb, John (Linda), Liz (Jim), and Rick (Sue), predeceased by brother Bryan (Renee), sister Lorraine and parents Bill and Corinne. In February 2009, when given the devastating diagnosis, Bill fought with passion, pride and laughter, always saying that he didn't live with cancer, but that cancer lived with him. Rather than letting his diagnosis keep him down, he used it as an opportunity to increase awareness and support, including raising over $30,000 for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and almost $10,000 for the Rouge Valley Health Systems Foundation "Image is Every- thing" campaign.
