Steve Carlisle, president of GM Canada, said local worries over the future of the Oshawa plant have been clearly communi- cated to him. But he reiterated a decision will be made after the automaker completes bargaining with Unifor, the autoworkers’ union. Nego- tiations are slated for August and Septem- ber. “As we’ve said consistently over the last 18 months or so, we’ll be in a much bet- ter position to comment definitively as we move through and conclude negotiations,” said Mr. Carlisle in an interview with Met- roland Media Group’s Durham Region Division. But the future of the Oshawa plant hinges on other factors as well. Mr. Carlisle said the labour agreement with Unifor will be a determining factor but there are also policy issues like energy costs, the proposed cap-and-trade system, changes to CPP and government incen- tives. He pointed out that there had been a lot of discussion on the creation of an Ontario pension plan, however the Provincial gov- ernment recently announced those plans were cancelled after the feds committed to improving CPP, leaving uncertainty. “By the time we get through negotiations, we need to have the best snapshot of these issues so we can make an informed deci- sion,” he said. Ultimately, he said his goal is to find the best and most sustainable way to grow the auto sector in Canada and that will involve looking to increase the tech development side of the auto industry. In June, GM announced it would be increasing its engineering and research and development contingent in Ontario by 700 workers over the next three to four years. That includes employees in Oshawa, Markham, Kitchener-Waterloo and Kapus- kasing focusing on electric, connected and autonomous vehicles. Mr. Carlisle sees Ontario as an ideal place for tech growth as the province pro- duces more tech, science and math grads than any other jurisdiction in the world, he said. “It gives us an opportunity to add a whole pathway for growth ... that we can build up new supply chains around,” he said. He’s hoping to create a critical mass so Canada is punching above its weight class in the tech sector. “There’s a window that’s opened now on the tech side of things, if you look around the tech industry, people are look- ing at where do you put this work ... so we reached out and grabbed it.” He also points out that the company has invested $1.6 billion in Canada since 2009. “This engineering announcement is rep- resentative of a very significant commit- ment of General Motors to Canada, includ- ing the community here,” said Mr. Carlisle.

As for new product for Oshawa’s manufacturing plant, he continues to say the company will be better able to make a decision on the plant following contract negotiations with Unifor, the autoworkers’ union. inside July 21, 2016 Pressrun 54,400 / 40 pages editorial Page / 6 What’s On / 23 sports / 27 Classified / 32 905-215-0442 durhamregion.com The latest news from across durham Region, Ontario, Canada and the world all day, every day. search ‘newsdurham’ on your favourite social media channel.

The Big City Bus Tour is taking place on Saturday, Oct. 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., departing from and arriving back at City Hall. The tour takes residents to key places of interest and showcases some of the facil- ities, services, and projects that impact the community and residents’ everyday lives. People attending can learn about devel- opments like Seaton and the City centre, as well as the economic, environmental and cultural goals. Stops include Rouge Nation- al Urban Park, and Pickering Museum Vil- lage, where lunch will be served. This is a free event for Pickering residents 18 and older. Due to space limitation, not all residents who apply will be accommodated. Pro- gram administration will conduct a random selection process. Those interested can register online or visit Pickering’s custom- er care centre at City Hall, located at One The Esplanade in Pickering, to complete an application.

A lot of the time these warnings are directed at seniors who are often tar- geted by fraud artists. But last week the DRPS issued a warn- ing about an online scam that could catch fans of the Tragically Hip off guard. Fans of this Canadian band are typically younger than 65 and one such fan got taken in by an ad posted on Kijiji offer- ing tickets to its upcoming ‘The Man Machine Poem Tour’. The Tragically Hip announced this tour shortly after news circulated that Gord Downie, the band’s lead singer, was diagnosed with termi- nal brain cancer. When tickets went on sale they were quickly sold out as this will likely be the band’s last tour. The Kijiji ad looked real enough to this unsuspecting Hip fan. The woman met the seller in Scarborough to pick up and pay for the tickets. Only later did she become concerned the tickets were fake when she noticed the ad for the exact same tickets remained on Kijiji. The woman told police she contact- ed the seller using a different name and he provided her a picture of the tickets which were the same section, row and seat numbers as the pair she had already purchased from him. From there, she went to police to alert them. Police set up a meeting with the seller and apprehended the suspect. He now faces charges of fraud under $5,000, escape custody, resisting arrest and pos- session of proceeds of crime. This should come as a cautionary tale to anyone wanting to see the Tragically Hip or any other band for that matter. If you’re buying tickets online make sure you’re doing it from a reputable website or organization. Kijiji is not in the busi- ness of promoting or distributing con- cert tickets. The website is a free local classified section that cannot guarantee anything being sold is legitimate. Scam- mers know this and try to take advantage of unsuspecting people looking for great deals. Kijiji is but one of many websites that offer free online classifieds. Craig’s List is another popular one. Thousands use these sites to buy and sell each day. But like anything in life, it only takes one bad person to ruin it for everyone. This isn’t the first time somebody has been scammed online and rest assured it won’t be the last. It’s the risk you take if you get involved in online transactions. In this latest case the perpetrator knew there was a huge demand to see the Hip and he took advantage of it. Whether or not there was only one victim or many more is still under investigation. If you’re looking for concert tickets be careful. Not everything is as great a deal as it’s portrayed.

Send us a letter to the editor, max. 200 words. newsroom@durhamregion.com, The world is getting better column If an alien beamed down from outer space and into one of our living rooms, flipped on the tele- vision, radio or glanced through a newspaper for a few minutes, chanc- es are he and his people would quick- ly beam right the hell back up, imme- diately cancelling all plans they might have had for any meaningful contact with the folks inhabiting this little blue ball of lunacy. Based solely on what the media serves up, visiting earth would be like deliber- ately planning a holiday in downtown Detroit. That’s how ugly and complete- ly misleading is what passes for news these days. I’ve mentioned this before but I think it bears repeating. I don’t watch the news at all and I only listen to the radio long enough to get a traffic and weather report. I generally only read local news- papers because they’re more about community than catastrophe but when I do look at one of the big rags, I skip the front section completely. That’s where they put all the really hideous stuff; the murders, rapes, terrorist bombings. The stuff that sells. It’s the same with radio and television. The stories they lead with are scary and awful ... the items that they know will hook you and keep you tuned in. Like our friend the visiting alien, if you mire yourself in that crud long enough you can get a very distorted picture of what is really happening on this planet. In short, you may think we are all going to hell in a hand basket. But quite the opposite is the reality and it’s a travesty that so much of the media do such a poor job of informing us of that wonderful news. The world is getting better and we are all going to be much more than fine. Is it perfect? God, no. Do we have still work to do? Of course. But for every shooting that is broadcast, for every suicide bombing, for every hateful word that comes out of every fearful, angry mouth, there are thousands of unmentioned acts of love, kindness and grace ... and innumerable breakthroughs of brilliance and inno- vation. If we’re not aware of them, it’s only because our eyes and ears have been hijacked elsewhere ... at whichev- er electronic Chicken Little we happen to be nearest to. The sky isn’t falling. There may be some clouds on the horizon but the winds of change will soon sweep them away and, trust me, the sun will shine brighter than ever before. There are many more of us leaning in the direc- tion of good than bad. Trust in that. Feel good, tend to your own vibe and do what you can to brighten your cor- ner of the world. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column neil crone Enter Laughing Tim Whittaker - Publisher twhittaker@durhamregion.com Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising feismont@durhamregion.com Mike Johnston - Regional Managing Editor mjohnston@durhamregion.com Deb Macdonald - Sales Manager dmacdonald@durhamregion.com Abe Fakhourie - Director of Distribution afakhourie@durhamregion.com Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager chaines@durhamregion.com News Advertiser 865 Farewell St., Oshawa ON L1H 6N8 www.durhamregion.com ADVERTISING 905-215-0472 CLASSIFIEDS 905-576-9335 DISTRIBUTION 905-579-4407 GENERAL FAX 905-579-2238 NEWSROOM 905-215-0481 LETTERS: We welcome letters.

Ma turtle stops by to lay eggs Mother Nature threw me a breaking ball this week. Of all the wildlife sur- prises that turn up in the yard, I wasn’t expecting this one. There I was, wander- ing across the lawn one morning, won- dering how long it would take the dew to dry so I could mow the ankle-high grass, when I noticed something dark at the edge of the vegetable garden. A small domed shape tucked against the chick- en-wire fence. A painted turtle. I gazed in wonder, so glad to think our local wetland was healthy enough to support any turtle species besides tough, feisty snappers. There were lots of frogs and toads in the neighbourhood when we moved here 30 years ago but they’ve virtually vanished, likely stressed by a combination of industrial pollution, road salt, diesel spills and lawn chemi- cals flowing in from upstream. We used to see lots of painted turtles sunning themselves on logs in the old days, too. And here she was, a mother paint- ed turtle quite a ways from the marsh, ready to lay her eggs. She was tipped at a 45-degree angle, with her hind legs tucked down in the thick, matted grass. Oh no! Not there! I thought with alarm. She must have been heading for the loose, sandy soil of the garden but come up against the wire barrier -- put there to discourage cottontails, not reptiles. And out of desperation, or exhaustion, she’d decided to dig her nest right where she was, in the grass. I happen to know turtles like to lay eggs in tilled gardens, because last spring my neighbour Ana Duff found a two-foot- in-diameter snapping turtle climbing out over her chicken-wire fence one morning, after digging inside. And this summer my niece in Manotick found a great big snapper in her garden at dawn, same scenario. But six-inch painted tur- tles can’t climb chicken wire. Dennis was out running an errand, so I turned to my wildlife-savvy neighbour Warren Brailsford for advice. We scout- ed both yards and then carefully moved momma turtle to a much better site, on loose soil closer to the marsh, with no roads for her to cross heading back to her wetland home. Or for her six to twelve babies to navigate when the eggs hatch and they instinctively start scram- bling toward water. Warren said he’d keep an eye on her, but when he checked just 15 minutes later, our painted turtle had gone, hope- fully finding a safer, more sheltered place for her precious cargo.

Kathy McKay set to retire in March 2017 after 12 years on the job PICKERING -- After 12 years at the helm of the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, execu- tive director Kathy McKay will retire in March 2017. “The Board of Trade has thrived under Kathy’s leadership. She has grown our membership significantly, built a top notch team and delivered tremendous value to the local business community,” said board president Denise Jones. “Kathy leaves big shoes to fill but luckily she leaves us in great shape and has given us ample time to search for a replacement that’s up to the task.” Under Ms. McKay’s leadership, the board has won numerous awards, includ- ing many accolades for its groundbreak- ing Eco Business certification program, the first of its kind in Canada, and a Canadian Chamber of Commerce Award for its advo- cacy efforts around transportation. Individually, Ms. McKay has won the Ontario Chamber of Commerce’s Bernie Gillespie Memorial Award for Excellence in Chamber Leadership in 2015, and in 2009, she won the Executive Director of the Year Award from the Chamber of Com- merce Executives of Canada. “The Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade thanks Kathy McKay for her tireless work on behalf of the businesses of Ajax and Pickering,” said board chairman Paul Przy- bylo of Walker Head Lawyers. “This Board of Trade has served the local business community for 60 plus years and, thanks in no small part to Kathy’s efforts, we are well positioned to continue to our work for many years to come.” The board of trade’s human resources committee will determine a plan for find- ing Ms. McKay’s replacement.

Pokemon GO officially launched in Cana- da on Sunday and it’s easy to see the craze is here. “It’s pretty obvious when someone is play- ing. They’re walking around staring at their phone,” said Nnamdi Arimah, 15. “It’s not just a game. It gets people moving.” He said he has walked about 25 kilometres since he started playing about a week ago. “I’ve walked 46 kilometres,” said Nnamdi’s friend, Justin Prince, 16. He admitted to usually being a gamer at home but now he’s out in the sunshine, walk- ing with his pals. “It really brings friends together.” The group of seven teens had been play- ing for about an hour when they were spot- ted at Rotary Park, looking just how Nnamdi described players. “We’ve met about 20 people walking around downtown,” he said. T h a t number is no exaggeration, if anything it is an understatement. I downloaded the game on Sunday night and met a couple dozen peo- ple while “researching” this story on Monday around noon hour. I realized it’s a lot more fun than I thought and there’s a lot more to it than just running around town throw- ing balls at Pokemon, although that is a big part of it. You only get so many balls and to capture the Pokemon you need balls. To get them, you go to PokeStops, which are usually local landmarks. Spencer Eldridge, 17, and Tyler Martin, 20, were at the war memorial. They told me that that is one of four PokeStops within a five- minute walking distance. Others are the Clar- ington Public Library, the Masonic temple and a church across the street from the water tower. You can also get eggs at PokeStops. These eggs are pretty cool because they hatch into Pokemon but only after you’ve walked a certain distance. From what I saw, the aver- age incubation was 10 kilometres. “I’ve been going on three-hour walks not even realizing I’m exercising,” said Spencer, admitting it was more than just a game. “It’s a fitness app.” Zach King and John Martell were on their lunch break from driver’s ed when they walked over to the cenotaph. The pair said this was not their first time at that particular PokeStop, in fact they learned that if they sit on the stairs of Clarington town hall, they can hit three Pokestops at the same time. “We’ve been here for seven hours at a time,” said Zach. “We were here until like 2 a.m. last night and there were like 25 people,” explained John. “The PokeStops refresh after five min- utes so you keep getting more stuff.” Another part of the game is Pokemon GO gyms. Once you hit level five like Nnamdi and his group, you get to go to the gym (Rotary Park is one), train/strengthen your Pokemon and battle it out until you take over the gym. “When we got here, it was yellow but then we won the competition and now it is blue,” explained Steven Devera, 15. He’s a member of team blue with Nnamdi and the rest of the guys, aka team Mystic. You get a few bonuses for controlling a gym but mostly from what I saw the real win is bragging rights. Steven, like many of his friends, used to play the Pokemon card game when he was a child. “It’s the nostalgia of it,” he said. When asked what the point of the new game was, Steven replied “gotta catch ‘em all.” Durham Regional Police Sergeant Bill Calder said he downloaded the game last night also and can see why teens are having so much fun. “There are so many positives. It’s getting kids out and being active, we just need to remind them to be careful. Look up from your phone every now and then,” he said. Sgt. Calder said an incident in the United States where teens were robbed after being lured to an area after a “module” appeared is one of his worries for players here. “If one of these appears, be cognisant of where you are and why it appeared,” he said. At this point, there have been no crimes in Durham Region related to Pokemon G0 but Sgt. Calder stressed that players must not trespass on other people’s properties and should not drive while attempting to catch Pokemon.

The incinerator, touted as a “world- class facility” by Durham Region Chair- man Roger Anderson seems to have been operating under a metaphoric black cloud since day one. While, Mr. Anderson said in January, the facility has been able to “meet the stron- gest emission standards in the world in addition to the strict requirements man- dated by the Province of Ontario,” many members of the public were skeptical. The recent failure of a stack test by one of the incinerator’s two boilers churned that skepticism into all-out concern from local residents and critics of the EFW facility. Lab results showed air emissions from boiler 1 exceeded limits of dioxins and furans with levels 1,363 per cent higher than allowed. The limit is a maximum of 60pg/Rm3 (ictograms per reference cubic metre). Boiler 1 was tested at 818. Clarington resident Donna Lanigan told Clarington councillors the results scared her, while speaking at the May 30 general government committee meeting. “This is poison. It causes cancer,” she said. Ms. Lanigan isn’t wrong. Dioxin is known to be a highly toxic and persistent chemical that can cause cancer. Durham’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Robert Kyle, said ingestion of food grown in contaminated soil is the biggest risk to human health, not inhala- tion. He said he is not concerned and res- idents shouldn’t be either. “It would take years of the plant run- ning with an uncontrolled exceedance to contaminate soil and vegetation,” he said. “This was a single exceedance and as you know the boiler was shut down.” Durham Region works commissioner Cliff Curtis said, “We’ve been testing soils and we’re not getting any exceedances. That leads to the conclusion it’s not get- ting into the food chain at this point.” A decade-long study conducted in the Netherlands and publicized last year by the European Commission claimed waste incinerators there did not affect nearby agriculture. Researchers grew kale and spinach close to three EFW facilities in the coun- try. It found that the level of contaminants were no different than those of vegetables grown elsewhere in the country. Dr. Stan R. Blecher, a Port Hope resident and a medical doctor who specializes in genetics, spoke to the Durham Region works committee on June 15. He shared his concerns about being “downwind” from the incinerator and said the emissions from the facility can cause cancer. “Cancer is caused by damage to a per- son’s DNA, a process called mutation. It requires only a minute amount of a car- cinogen, namely one molecule, to cause a cancer mutation,” he explained. “There are no filter systems known to science that can prevent release of these poisons to the environment, and they can travel thousands of kilometres.” The Courtice EFW facility is monitored by Covanta (the company that owns and operates the incinerator), the Region of Durham and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. “The ministry’s guidelines set out strin- gent in-stack emission limits to ensure that emissions from municipal waste thermal treatment facilities are as low as possible,” said MOECC spokesman Gary S. Wheeler. “The Environmental Compliance Approval for the Durham York Energy Centre contains an in-stack emission limit of 60pg/Rm3 for dioxins and furans, which is even lower than the provin- cial standard of 80pg/Rm3 and we also require the DYEC to meet the air emission standards at their property line.” “As a fundamental, our monitoring pro- cess is seven days a week, 24 hours a day,” said Covanta’s director of communica- tions and media relations, James Regan. “This one result is not the norm.” He said he was confident boiler 1 would operate without issue when it’s back up and running. It is identical to boiler 2, which tested well in the most recent stack test, mea- suring a reading of 12 for dioxins and furans. Boiler 2 has been processing all of the waste that comes into the facility on its own since boiler 1 was shut down on the evening of May 26, after Covanta was alerted of the stack test failure. “There are a number of things we do to control the emissions, many steps, many stages and many people involved. We are committed to making it right,” said Mr. Regan. “Our facilities are around the world and have operated safely for decades with lim- its higher than Durham York facility, while remaining safe.” “We haven’t operated that unit since. There was no danger then so there is no danger now,” he said. Mr. Anderson said Covanta will not be allowed to restart boiler 1 until it is granted approval from the Region and the MOECC. He said the company needs to prove it can function properly. “Personally, I believe this facility will operate as good as we said it will,” he said, at the May 30 meeting. “If we don’t have an operator that can do it, then we will find another one who will.” Covanta has created an ‘abatement plan’ which the MOECC is currently review- ing.

While soccer is presently on the mouths of victorious citizens, there is much more to Portugal. Portugal’s wine history goes back some 4,500 years, though the Romans can be credited for developing much of the ancient industry. One of the first to use qual- ity control system, Portugal has several designations, the highest of which is the Denominação de Origem Contro- lada or DOC. Famous for its fortified wine called Port from the Douro wine region, Portugal has 13 other wine regions -- all diverse in both topography and climate with an equally diverse group of grape varieties. Some of the most popular Portuguese wines come from Dao, Alentejo, Tejo (formerly Ribatejo), Lisboa (for- merly Estremadura), Vinho Verde, Madeira, Bairrada and Setubal (formerly Terras do Sado). Among the grape varieties of the most popular are: White: Arinto, Alvarinho, Fernao Pires, Loureiro, Tra- jadura and Verdelho Red: Alfrocheiro (my favourite), Aragonez (Tinto Roriz in Dao/Douro and Tempranillo in Spanish), Baga, Castelao, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional Cabernet, Syrah, Merlot and Chardonnay grapes are also grown. Wine styles vary but range from the very light, zesty whites of Vinho Verde to the rich, full-bodied whites of Alentejo. The reds also range from the light, low-alcohol- ic wines of Vinho Verde, the superbly structured wins of Tejo and the rich, robust reds of Douro and Alentejo. New winemakers with new ideas such as the Young Winemakers Of Portugal blend the traditional with the new. The growing popularity of Portuguese still wine is reflected through local liquor outlets, which offer some superbly great value. The white Quinta da Aveleda Vinho Verde (LCBO #89995, $9.60) is fresh, light, spritzy and lively with grapefruit/apple flavours and a refreshing citrus acid fin- ish that is super with salads, fish and cold cuts. Alentejo’s Loios White (LCBO #92114, $9.15) is made from native Rabo de Ovelha and Roupeiro grapes and offers a refreshing acidity, white fruit and citrus flavours. Quinta do Portal is a famous Douro estate that produc- es a host of great wines. Great value is offered by Fron- taria (Vintages #324533, $12.75) certainly worth much more. It oozes black fruit -- blackberry and black cher- ry and vanilla on both nose and palate. Wine Enthusi- ast magazine gave it a 90-point mark. It is a great burger, grilled meat and fowl wine.

The zoo and director Michael Hackenberger have been at the centre of a storm of controversy, fuelled in large part by the release last year of sur- reptitiously-shot video that appears to show Mr. Hackenberger whipping a tiger during a training session. Mr. Hackenberger, who has since been charged with animal cruelty, has stepped aside as his case make its way through the courts. He disputes the allega- tions of animal cruelty. Supporters of the zoo vouch for the facility’s record of responsible care for animals. Brandi Kelly, whose family began attending the zoo after a move to Bowmanville 15 years ago -- and whose children now work there -- said critics are unaware of the quality of care pro- vided for the animals, many of whom have been rescued from unsuitable situations. “It’s a community staple,” said Ms. Kelly, who has started online fundraising efforts and is also selling t-shirts in support of the zoo. “I think a good chunk of the communi- ty has that same vision,” Ms. Kelly said. “But it’s had such bad publicity those things have been forgotten.” Mr. Mace, who spread word about the July 17 event by way of the Supporters of the Bowmanville Zoo Facebook page, said that while raising funds is important, he’s hoping simply to convince people to come to the zoo and see it for themselves. “I can understand why people reacted the way they did,” he said. “But you can’t judge 97 years of animal care and conservation efforts on a 27-second clip. It’s not fair.” SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1 PM TO MIDNIGHT SUNDAY, JULY 24, NOON TO 6 PM BLOOR STREET, FROM DUFFERIN TO LANSDOWNE. CAR-FREE FUN! Celebrate Arts, Culture, Community and Small Business.

OPP said the 27-year-old, whose name wasn’t released, was airlifted to a Hamil- ton-area hospital following the crash, at Toronto Motorsport Park, south of Cayu- ga. The man remains in hospital. Police haven’t commented on what may have caused the single-vehicle crash.

The Charity Golf Tournament hosted by Tribute Communities raised over $215,000 in support of individuals with developmental disabilities at Reena. For over 40 years Reena has been improving the lives of those with developmental disabilities within a framework of Jewish culture and values. This history and success is because of the quality of service that is provided. Reena focuses on individual abilities, creating customized plans for each person; setting goals and working towards achieving them. Reena meets the diverse needs of children, youth and adults by offering a wide range of programs that promote dignity, independence and personal growth. Reena focuses first and foremost on building inclusion and access in the community; working with businesses and other organizations to provide employment and volunteering opportunities. Reena is out in the community bridging the gap for those with developmental disabilities. All proceeds from the charity golf tournament support residential respite at Reena. Respite is a proactive and preventative service which provides a safe and supportive environment where individuals with developmental disabilities can learn and flourish. It can prevent families from going into crisis by giving them a needed break or time for other family members. The need for Reena has never been greater. The waitlist for supports in Ontario is growing. According to the Provincial Network on Developmental Services, nearly 12,000 people are waiting for residential care and another 6,000 are waiting for services that will provide community based programs, job training and help at home. Reena is responding to this challenge by developing new supports in the areas of housing, employment and aging. But the need is still great and individuals with developmental disabilities continue to go without help. Events, like Swinging For Reena, provide the support needed to do more. Sheila Miller, Executive Director of Reena Foundation, noted “Much like golf, this tournament is less about physical strength as it is about concentrating on a goal that matters. Thanks to generous fundraising partners, like Tribute Communities, we are able to respond to the growing needs of the Reena Community. Each year Tribute Communities sets the bar higher making Swinging For Reena more successful, helping us work towards our goal of bringing in much needed funds to support families in crisis.” To learn more about the Reena Foundation, visit www.reena.org.

Alotofpeople havetroublecatching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear.A newtypeof hearingaidcan help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearingothersclearlyonadailybasis. Bad acoustics, unclearpronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say.Thisresultsin them having to repeatedly ask questions,straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in largegroups.As mentionedearlier,thismaybecaused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers,“motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifyingquiet sounds.Theyvibrate upto 20,000 times per second.Ifthese hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leadstomore difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations.If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearingaidsthatamplifyquiet speech anddampenloud ambientnoisecanbe a good solution for most people. Hair cells in the ear move very rapidlyandcanactasanamplifieror dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. This improvement in hearing can be achievedforsomeclients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Sears Hearing Centre is currently lookingto improvehearingforpeople who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We areparticularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussedaboveandcan benefitfromatrialtoseewhether they notice an improvement.

The eight-year-old Oshawa girl met the actress on the set of Our House, which recently wrapped up shooting. Kate isn’t just another of Peltz’s fans: she’s got a principal role, her first, in the film, which is due out next year. Kate says the two got along famously. “I really bonded with Nicola. She’s the only other girl. I spent time with her on set,” she says, adding the actress is “really nice.” “She was walking around with me, talking with me, in scenes with me.” Kate has a nice memento from the movie: a framed photo of the cast, with some congratulatory and complimen- tary comments from her fellow actors. As much as she liked being in front of the camera, she most enjoyed see- ing what goes on before it starts roll- ing, the work that goes into preparing the camera angle, for example. “It was actually really fun seeing what’s behind the scene,” Kate says. Our House is a psychological hor- ror movie for young people, based on Matt Osterman’s 2010 film Ghost From The Machine. It also features Thom- as Mann and is directed by Anthony Scott Burns in his feature film debut. Performing in her first movie was made a lot easier thanks to the coach- ing she’s received for roughly two years from Ajax actress, singer and writer Asha Bromfield, who runs an acting workshop called I am my first love. “She helped me with teaching me what to think about when you’re sup- posed to get sad or cry,” Kate says. Kate’s dad, Mike, says Bromfield is “like family” and provides invaluable help to his daughter. “What Asha’s always been telling Kate is to not just memorize a line, but to read deeper; what is the motiva- tion?” “(Kate) was able to relate it to herself ... and dive deeper into it.” He added that Bromfield doesn’t “overwhelm” Kate with a hundred things she should focus upon. Being in a movie (Kate’s now a full ACTRA union member) was a new experience for her parents as well, and mom Kim, who was with her when she was on set, says Kate was there for 20 days of the six-week shoot. Kim says she could see Kate become more and more comfortable, ad libbing in a scene and even making a suggestion or two to the director. “I give credit to the professionals on set; they knew what to do, how to get the best out of Kate,” Mike says. “For her first one, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.” He says being involved in the movie “has built Kate up,” made her more confident, describing her as “by nature competitive, an entertainer” who likes to make people laugh. Mike says he recognizes that while she was ready for the opportunity to shine, the stars aligned for Kate with Our House. And if acting doesn’t turn into a serious pursuit in the future, that’s fine with him. He and Kim aren’t pushing her to do more. While Kate has auditioned for other movies and a TV pilot, they opted to give her a break for the summer. “We just want to help her, what- ever it is (she does),” he says. “Right now, this is her goal. If she never does another movie, that’s fine.” Kate, also a competitive dancer who likes jazz best and does well in school, is definitely up for more acting. “Now I know what to do and how to do it,” she says. “It’s cool.” Make plans for Shelter Valley Folk Festival Justin Greaves / Metroland OSHAWA -- Kate Moyer, 8, of Oshawa recently landed a role in her first feature film.

The summer sports wrapped up by Labour Day weekend and then the new hockey season would begin with kids energized and excited to be back on the ice. My, how the hockey season has changed for the youth of today. Nowadays, playoffs are quickly fol- lowed by tryouts for the next season, which can take weeks to complete as a player works their way through the dif- ferent levels of tryouts. Then comes the temptation of the many hockey camps available to play- ers over the summer, everything from skills camps to power skating schools. And every parent of a minor hock- ey player knows the prevailing fear of having their child fall behind the other players because he/she isn’t doing enough in the off-season to improve. I am a firm believer that young hock- ey players need to take time off and get away from the game in the off-season. There is certainly nothing wrong with taking part in any of the skills develop- ment or hockey camps that are offered, and looking to make improvements as a hockey player, but players should also build a healthy break away from the arena into their off-season schedule. Encourage your child to play other sports during the summer and to expe- rience the benefits that come with sports such as lacrosse, soccer and baseball. Improved footwork, better hand-eye coordination, and cross training of dif- ferent muscle groups are some of the advantages that will help the young athlete when they return to the ice for the new hockey season. But by far the biggest advantage will be the mental break they get away from the game. The declining enrolment in hockey strongly suggests that too many of our kids are getting burnt out by the time they are 12. A little downtime away from the game can go a long way in enhancing kids’ enjoyment of the sport and keep- ing the love of the game ignited.

Ajax won 4-0. Generals lean toward Mem Cup bid GM Roger Hunt believes team can contend again soon Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — Roger Hunt believes the Oshawa Generals are set up well for a quick rebound following their Memo- rial Cup win of 2015, quickly enough to entertain thoughts of hosting the national championship tournament in 2018. The Canadian Hockey League recent- ly announced details about the bid pro- cess for 2018, which will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the event and be open to every team in the three junior leagues in the country. Hunt, vice-president and general manager of the Generals, says the team is likely to submit its intent to bid by the deadline of Sept. 1, 2016 and would be thrilled if it’s one of the two Ontar- io Hockey League teams chosen by the league to move forward on Nov. 15. The CHL will release its shortlist no later than Nov. 30, and national bid pre- sentations will be heard by no later than Jan. 31, 2017. The 2018 host city will be announced the first week of February, 2017. “At the end of the day, I believe we’re ambitious,” said Hunt, confirming the team’s interest in making a bid. “I think we’re intelligent in how we make deci- sions. It’s been a goal of ownership to be able to host a Memorial Cup here in Oshawa. Certainly if it doesn’t come true in 2018, I’ve got to believe we will try again.” Among the most crucial elements considered in a successful bid is the quality of the host team, which in the Generals case means they will need to show they are ready to contend again in two seasons. After winning the national champions in 2015, the Generals took an inevitable step backward last season, but still man- aged to make the playoffs with a young roster while making several trades to recoup draft picks and prospects lost the previous year. Hunt is confident he can show the selection committee, should the bid get that far, that the team will be in a good position again in two seasons. “I really think last year was the impor- tant year,” he said. “We’ve got the poten- tial with the exception of (goalie) Justin Nichols to have every player back this season. By the time the 2018 Memorial Cup comes around, those kids from last year will be in their third year.” The team’s two most important play- ers this coming season, captain Antho- ny Cirelli and defenceman Mitchell Vande Sompel, are likely to begin their professional careers in 2017-18, but that doesn’t mean Hunt will be looking to trade his two stars to bulk up for the Memorial Cup bid, he said. “I think we allow this team to grow a little bit together and see where we’re at. I don’t think the trading of big names will be as prevalent this year,” he said, referring to the fact he dealt away Michael Dal Colle, Matt Mistele, Ste- phen Desrocher and others last year. “I really feel strongly with this core group of players now, with the ‘98s, ‘99s and 2000s, that’s the group of kids that will be the Cole Cassels and Bradley Latours of yesteryear.” Hunt has kept busy in the off-season, and this week announced the addition of Nathan McIver as assistant coach and the signing of Serron Noel, the 25th overall selection in the 2016 OHL draft. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 28 AP Carrier of the Week Congratulations Eli for being our Carrier of the Week.

Defensive depth added with acquisition of Corbeil and Rubisch Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com WHITBY — Although the finish to the Major Series Lacrosse regular season is shaping up to be interesting, it should pale in compari- son to what will follow. The Brooklin Redmen are still fighting for a top spot in the standings, but the playoffs are where the focus lies for them and the other three teams contending for an Ontario title. The Peterborough Lakers appear most likely to finish in first place, but the battle for positioning between them, the Redmen, Six Nations Chiefs and Oakville Rock has been tight all season. When the post-season begins and the four teams have full lineups on the floor, it’s any- body’s ball game. “All four teams are very talented,” says Wayne Colley, coach and general manager of the Redmen. “I think we can challenge all three teams. “Come playoff time, we’ll definitely have a full lineup,” he adds. “It’s just that we’ve got to pull it together.” The Redmen have no shortage of offen- sive talent when all are available, with the likes of Mark Matthews, Shayne Jackson, Dan Lintner, Austin Shanks, Ryan Keenan, Cur- tis Knight, Reilly O’Connor and the ageless Shawn Williams, but they have allowed far more goals-against than Peterborough and Oakville. It was with that in mind that Colley pulled the trigger on a deal with Brampton just before the trade deadline, landing Chris Cor- beil and Kyle Rubisch for Kyle Buchanan, Jor- dan Houtby and TJ Sanders. Corbeil and Rubisch are defenders who have won back-to-back championships in the NLL and gold medals with Canada at the world indoor championships. Along with Matthews, Knight, John LaFontaine and Adrian Sorichetti, they are teammates with the Saskatchewan Rush, and coached by Derek Keenan, now also with the Redmen. The Redmen improved to 9-5-1 for the sea- son with an 11-9 win in Cobourg Sunday, July 17, overcoming a 7-5 deficit in the third period. Knight and Williams had five points each, while Corbeil chipped in offensively with a pair of goals. The Redmen hosted the Lakers Wednes- day (after our deadline) and close out with a home-and-home set against the Rock, July 25 in Oakville and July 27 in Whitby. Redmen gear up for playoffs Jason Liebregts / Metroland WHITBY -- Brooklin Redmen newcomers Chris Corbeil and Kyle Rubisch sandwiched Cobourg Kodiaks’ Chad Cummings in Major Series Lacrosse action at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 29 AP www.metrolandshows.com |www.durhamregion.com HomeShow 2016 FALL Friday September 23rd 3 pm -8 pm Saturday September 24th 10 am -5 pm Sunday September 25th 10 am -4 pm 155 Arena Street,Oshawa (Off Adelaide between Park Rd.&Simcoe St.) Children’s Arena For Exhibitor Information Contact: Join us for our Fall Home Show and discover ways to spruce up your home -inside and out!

Thompson finished first individually in level 3 of double mini trampoline and also won gold in level 4 of synchronized trampoline with teammate Nicholas Hasson. Thompson won silver in level 4 of indi- vidual trampoline and finished second overall for double mini trampoline in the Team Ontario awards. Brent Farnsworth and Kiernan Bridge also captured gold for the Pickering club in level 1 of synchronized trampo- line, while Hasson won bronze in level 4, individual trampoline while hitting his national mobility score. Katherine Mora finished 14th in level 3 of double mini trampoline and earned gold in the Team Ontario awards. Kassidy Spittal was fifth in level 1, dou- ble mini and 24th in level 2, individual trampoline, while earning silver in the Team Ontario awards. Farnsworth placed 11th in level 1, indi- vidual trampoline and earned silver in the Team Ontario awards. Veronica Large, meanwhile, finished off her season by heading to Edmonton for the 2016 Canadian national champi- onships, where she not only made finals in every event, but also placed well in each. Large won the bronze medal in individ- ual trampoline (level 5, age 17+), placed fifth on double mini trampoline (level 5, age 17+) and fifth in synchronized tram- poline with partner Kennedy White from Barrie in level 5, novice.
