The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) recently released the 2017/2018 assessment re- sults for each school board in Ontario. Math has been a hot topic in Ontario this fall, after On- tario Education Minister Li- sa Thompson called the EQAO math results "unac- ceptable." The provincial govern- ment has issued a directive to school boards to get back to math "fundamentals" and both Durham school boards will be dedicating an Octo- ber P.A. day to helping teachers brush up on teach- ing math basics. The new EQAO data shows that, across the prov- ince, 61 per cent of Grade 3 students were at or above the provincial standard for math - that number was 67 per cent for the Durham Dis- trict School Board (DDSB) and 61 per cent for the Dur- ham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB). Both Durham boards saw a slight drop in this year's Grade 3 results. Provincewide, 49 per cent of Grade 6 students met or exceeded the expecta- tions for math - at the DDSB it's 54 per cent, and at the DCDSB it's 53 per cent. DDSB superintendent Anne Marie Laginski says this is the second year in a row the board has scored above the provincial aver- age in every area of EQAO testing, calling the results "really good news for us." "What we really want the public to know and to recog- nize is that student achieve- ment and success remain a guiding focus," she says. Grade 9 math results are divided by the applied stream and academic stream. Forty-five per cent of Grade 9s in applied math met the standard province- wide, locally it was 53 per cent for the DDSB and 42 per cent for the DCDSB. Grade 9 students in aca- demic math fared better with 84 per cent across the province meeting the expec- tation - 85 per cent at the DDSB and 82 per cent at the DCDSB. DCDSB superintendent Gerry O'Reilly says it is posi- tive that the Catholic board is at or above the provincial average in most areas. He says two and three- step questions are often where students have diffi- culty on the EQAO tests, and that staff will "break down the data" to pinpoint where students are strug- gling. The DCDSB will be send- ing home math kits with ac- tivities parents and stu- dents can do together to make math "positive, fun and rewarding," O'Reilly says. The Catholic board's par- ent involvement committee is also hosting several up- coming "Math Cafe" events, which are hands-on work- shops where parents can learn to support their chil- dren at home. DDSB superintendent Sylvia Peterson says it's im- portant for parents to un- derstand that EQAO results are a "snapshot" of how stu- dents performed on a specif- ic test, on a specific day. "It's important for us to look at the trends over time, we get a much more com- plete picture," she says, not- ing that report card data and assessments that teachers do in the classroom, are also important. Dr. Ami Mamolo, an as- sistant professor with the faculty of education at the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology (UOIT) in Oshawa, says poor test re- sults don't necessarily mean poor teaching practices or a lack of student understand- ing. "Test results are a reflec- tion of test performance," she says. "Achievement is not the same as understand- ing - and I think that this point needs to be clearly made." Mamolo says there is a "ton of pressure" for stu- dents to do well on EQAO tests, and that research has shown children as young as Grade 3 feel it. "Kids are suffering from test anxiety and this im- pacts their performance when completing the tests," she says. She also points to the im- pact of mixed messages about math, noting that some elected officials "chas- tise, ostracize, and mock anyone with an education, particularly in a so-called 'elite' area such as mathe- matics," which can shape the attitudes of both parents and students. In late September, par- ents and guardians will re- ceive an individual student report about their child's EQAO results.

NEWSDURHAM'S EQAO MATH SCORES BY THE NUMBERS JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- DCDSB math consultant Mike Jacobs worked with students Axel Baker and Mateo Molano at St. John the Evangelist Cathoilic School on June 1, 2017. Ron Pietroniro/Metroland DURHAM - The provin- cial government is putting the brakes on the Drive Clean program. The government an- nounced Friday, Sept. 28 it was stopping the program on April 1, 2019. Environment Minister and Ajax MPP Rod Phillips said when the program was brought in by the Mike Har- ris government in 1999, about 16 per cent of vehicles failed an emissions test. Last year, that number had dropped to five per cent. The drop can be attri- buted to "improved technol- ogy in the vehicles, the gas and the older cars are off the road," he noted. Phillips noted the Audi- tor General in 2012 pointed out "emissions were re- duced by steadily increasing amounts from 1999 through 2007." In that report, titled Val- ue for Money Audit of Drive Clean, the Auditor General found domestic vehicles were the biggest contributor of carbon monoxide and ni- trogen oxides. The Auditor General said Drive Clean "isn't a program doing what it was meant to be doing any more. It was time for the program to go," Phillips said. Each year, about two mil- lion cars are tested and few- er than 150,000 fail the test. Phillips said the govern- ment will be focusing on heavy duty vehicles. "It will be a more aggres- sive program, with more testing. It's an area we need to focus on now," he added. Chris Ballard, the former environment minister with the Liberal government, noted in a tweet, "The govt. will announce the end of Drive Clean following a re- view by my Ministry that showed, given today's mod- ern technology in cars AND the reduced carbon gasoline cars are burning, Drive Clean has little impact. He'd better keep the program for heavy vehicles, though." Cancellation of the pro- gram will save the govern- ment $40 million annually. When the program be- gan, a test cost a motorist $35. However, the previous Liberal government dropped the price to $30 be- fore announcing last year it was dropping the price again. The government would have assumed the costs.

Ryan noted his position in support of an airport has been clear for a number of years. He believes there is a business case for an airport and noted the federal government has had its hands on KPMG's study on the matter but has yet to release it to the public. "Airports are economic drivers," he said. His opponent Eileen Hig- don is on the opposite side of the fence. "I do not support the build- ing of an airport in north Pick- ering," she said. "I have never heard nor seen a decent busi- ness plan to support an air- port." She said she supports the view of Land Over Landings that calls for agriculture and agri-tourism in north Picker- ing. Cortez said he remembers he used to be against the cre- ation of an airport, but "time has changed." An airport will create bet- ter infrastructure and create the jobs that are needed, he said. Henry is opposed to an air- port. "The folks in Pickering don't want an airport," he said. "We need to respect that." Both Collier and Jordan are undecided. "I make decisions based on evidence," Jordan said. "I haven't seen a business case, and until I do it's very difficult to make a decision on that." Collier is also waiting to see a business case. "But the accountant and business owner in me says anything within reason to bring jobs and prosperity, I'm for," he said. Augustine does not sup- port a Pickering airport, for a few reasons, including the "traffic nightmare" it will cre- ate. "Noise is another factor that's going to affect a lot of the residents," he said. When asked about priori- ties and projects, Ryan said first, jobs are needed in Pick- ering. He indicated with Ku- bota Canada moving to Pick- ering, as well as other eco- nomic opportunities in the city, such as a hotel and con- vention centre planned for the Durham Live develop- ment, those jobs will come. He said he is interested in oppor- tunities in agribusiness as well, noting Pickering is not just about big industry devel- opment. "It's a balanced approach and it's one that's focused on economic benefit," he said. Higdon said her priorities include creating a communi- ty association in every ward. She also wants to protect the waterfront, and save it from the eight-storey condo development that is proposed at Wharf and Annland streets. "This is our waterfront," she said, referring to it as a jewel. Henry said if he is elected mayor, he hopes at the end of his four-year term there will be lower property taxes, espe- cially for seniors. "You're going to see facili- ties for youth and for chil- dren," he said. Cortez said it's important to prepare young people for progress in the future. "We have to get rid of the apathy and the indifference that the youth are feeling at this point," he said. Jordan said increasing sewer capacity in downtown Ajax is a top priority for her in order to attract business and economic development, and she's working to ensure water quality is improved. She also feels strongly about ensuring responsible development and to stop de- veloping places that shouldn't be built on, such as places that cause flooding and erosion downstream. "I tie in a lot of environ- mental issues into business because whether we like it or not it all is linked and we're go- ing to pay if we don't act on some of these issues," Jordan said. Collier wants to attract business and create more jobs. He often hears property taxes are too high, and people want to see them lowered. "The only way (we'll) ever address that is to broaden our tax base, increase those com- mercial taxes," he said. He said he'll work co-oper- atively with people to cut red tape and roll out red carpet and get investment in Ajax. Having more jobs will mean more people work close to home, causing less grid- lock, he said. High frequency transit routes need to be ex- panded, and students need to get back onto transit, which can be done by free bus passes for children under 12 and af- fordable student passes. He's looking at donating surplus town lands to pro- mote social housing, as well as looking at alternate afford- able housing options, such as the use of shipping contain- ers. Augustine wants to see an improved waterfront, and the removal of tolls on Highway 412, and an improved down- town that will attract small business and keep people shopping in Ajax. "In four years it will be a downtown where people will feel comfortable," he said. Ajax needs better senior care and better facilities for seniors, he said. "My goal is to remove all fares for seniors," he said. "Se- niors in Ajax must travel for free." He also would like to see the bus lanes on Highway 2 used as HOV lanes. MUNICIPAL ELECTION Continued from page 1 MAYORAL HOPEFULS OFFER OPINIONS ON PICKERING AIRPORT ISSUE Mayoral candidates for Ajax and Pickering discussed important business issues at a forum hosted by the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade on Sept. 27. The forum was at the Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility in Ajax. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m Pic k e r i n g N e w s A d v e r t i s e r | P | W e d n e s d a y , O c t o b e r 3 , 2 0 1 8 | 4 PICKERING - How far is Peter Crerar's home from Dunbarton High School? It depends on who you ask. Durham Student Transportation Services (DSTS) says Crerar's home is 3.1 kilometres from the Pickering school. But Crerar has mea- sured it himself several times, and says it's more than 3.2 km. A small difference? Yes, but one that means the difference between riding the school bus, or a 40-minute walk for Cre- rar's 14-year-old daughter, who recently started Grade 9 at Dunbarton. "It's 40 minutes power walking. That's not carry- ing a heavy backpack or musical instrument, or walking on sidewalks with snow that hasn't been cleared," says Crear. DSTS provides school bus transportation to about 30,000 Durham Dis- trict School Board and Durham Catholic District School Board students. Policy states that ele- mentary students are eli- gible for busing if their primary address is more than 1.6 km from their des- ignated school; the dis- tance is 3.2 km for high school students. The cut-off was previ- ously four km for Durham District School Board high school students. It was changed in 2017 to bring it in line with the distance used by Dur- ham's Catholic school board. The switch to 3.2 km opened up busing eligibili- ty to an additional 1,898 students. Crerar has concerns about how DSTS arrives at its measurements, saying he has measured the dis- tance himself several times and come up with a distance above 3.2 km. Regardless, he thinks there should be "good will" for students who fall just outside the distance re- quirement, saying lengthy walks take time away from homework and extracur- ricular activities. "In my mind, a reason- able walk is about 20 min- utes." Crerar says. "I'd like to see some of these trust- ees and superintendents walk this on a cold Febru- ary day with backpacks and musical instruments." The 3.2 km and 1.6 km distance cut-offs are the standard used by many school boards in Ontario. DSTS uses "geometrics planning software" to measure the distance from the residential property line, to the closest proper- ty line of the school. Kelly Mechoulan, chief administrative officer for DSTS, says they are the same maps used by local police and 911 dispatchers and provide "a very accu- rate measurement." She says every single DDSB and DCDSB school has students who live just outside the 3.2 km and 1.6 km cut-offs, and that it can be "very challenging" to address concerns but keep the rules fair for everyone. If there is a dispute about a DSTS distance cal- culation, Mechoulan says a recalculation can be re- quested. DSTS will also do a "re- consideration" for busing if there are safety con- cerns about the walk path. Crerar says he is looking into a reconsider- ation request, and also plans to approach Picker- ing city councillors about the idea of free transit passes for all high school students. Durham parents and students can visit www.dsts.on.ca to learn more about busing eligi- bility and how to request a recalculation or reconsid- eration. NEWS PICKERING DAD FRUSTRATED DAUGHTER MISSES CUT-OFF FOR BUSING BY METRES Buses delivered students to Dunbarton High School in Pickering on Sept. 27. A Pickering parent raised concerns about how busing eligibility is decided. Durham Student Transportation Services says high school students must live 3.2 km or more away from their home school to qualify for busing. Jason Liebregts / Metroland JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING - Construc- tion has officially begun on the new Pickering Museum Village Conservation Build- ing. This project will reno- vate the former Gas and Steam Barn to create cli- mate controlled artifact storage, a conservation lab space, and upgraded facili- ties for the staff and volun- teers who work with collec- tions at the museum. One of the key project goals is to provide proper storage for the museum's ex- tensive agricultural, techno- logical and vehicular arti- fact collection. This will al- low staff to access, assess and monitor artifact condi- tion and plan for future pres- ervation. In preparation for this work, museum staff with the support of Total Transpor- tation Solutions Inc. relocat- ed more than 300 artifacts to a temporary storage facili- ty. The move took six days to complete, and was fully funded by the Pickering Mu- seum Village Foundation. The conservation build- ing is expected to be com- pleted early next year, with the aim to be open and occu- pied in the spring. Construction of the con- servation building is the first in a series of infrastruc- ture upgrades at the Picker- ing Museum Village site. Design is currently under- way for the creation of the Pickering Heritage and Community Centre, a new visitor centre that will incor- porate museum, library, and community centre facil- ities at the entrance of the museum. COMMUNITY CONSTRUCTION BEGINS AT PICKERING MUSEUM VILLAGE A 1928 steam traction engine will be housed in the new Pickering Museum Village Conservation Building.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM EDITORIAL LETTERS & COMMENTARY Canadian post-secondary institutions focus on preparing graduates for careers of the future. Equally, universities should enhance competition in the global marketplace, and help Canadian businesses innovate and remain productive. The University of Ontario Institute of Technology understands this need and takes an active role in helping its local municipalities thrive during times of economic change. One way to drive economic competiveness is through collaborations that focus on fostering in- novation. Consider TeachingCity, a partnership between the City of Oshawa, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Trent University, University of Toronto, Durham College and the Canadian Urban Institute. Together we are addressing Oshawa's urban issues through innovation, collaboration, applied research and shared experiential learning opportunities. Mu- nicipalities have a crucial role in Canada's economic fabric. This unique model will position the city at the forefront of urban innovation by developing best prac- tices that could be adopted by municipalities across Canada. Another great example of collaboration between the public and private sector, the projects conducted at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology's ACE. Here, researchers and industries from all over the world use ACE's innovative research and devel- opment capabilities to disrupt their standard testing methodologies and to validate the next-generation products in ways that can't be done anywhere else in the world. ACE's wind tunnel is unique in that it can examine both climactic and aerodynamic innovation simulta- neously. Collaborations between sectors are essential in order to support Canadian economic growth and com- petitiveness, and to keep industry partners and jobs here in Durham Region and in Canada. In the late summer, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau validated this notion by visiting ACE and announcing a $9.46 million Government of Canada investment in the ACE Enhancement Project. It's disrupting the norm, and challenging ourselves to think differently that drives innovation and eco- nomic competitiveness. Need proof? We disrupt our- selves by rebranding a misunderstood and mispro- nounced acronym into a handle that will serve us well as a tech-focused university with a social conscience: ONTechU. Be an innovative disruptor or prepare to be disrupted. -Dr. Steven Murphy is President and Vice-Chancel- lor of the University of Ontario Institute of Technolo- g y DRIVINGECONOMICCOMPETIVENESSTHROUGHCOLLABORATIONAND INNOVATION NOISY VEHICLES SHOULD BE AN ELECTION ISSUE To the editor: Recently, Toronto's May- or John Tory raised the is- sue of noisy vehicles in that city. I have also noticed that problem is not unique to To- ronto, but also here in Whit- by. The souped-up motors of cars and motorcycles not only create noise but, when stopped at red lights, the drivers need us to know they are there by revving their motors and cranking up the volume on their sound systems. Stopping at stop signs and running red lights are also very much in fashion. With the municipal and regional elections on the doorsteps, I intend to bring these matters up and I hope many other readers will do the same. D.A. STEWART, WHITBY ORONO FAIR ORGANIZERS DESERVE A BIG THANK YOU To the editor: The 166th Orono Fair is now behind us and we, as a family, want to thank and recognize a few peo- ple we are grateful for, af- ter the unfortunate mis- hap at the James Barker Band, VIP stage. The quick and immedi- ate help, care and re- sponse of people we knew, as well as complete strangers, was incredi- ble. Seeing our "jovial, cheerful" past president, Todd Graves, immediate- ly kick into his "profes- sional fireman mode," as well as our current presi- dent, Michael Di Lella, was amazing. This only goes to show, that the system in place works well and our fair continues to operate each year, due primarily, to a dedicated team. It also shows that, de- spite all the negativity we hear within our society, there still are amazing, caring, helpful people. Thank you so much to the random folks who stepped in alongside the police and medics. When a fair of this size operates as professional- ly as we have witnessed firsthand, we realize it's be- cause of a dedicated, caring board, multiple committee members and innumerable volunteers. It's no wonder our fair is one of the longest- running fairs in Ontario. Kudos to all.

On Sept. 20, about 20 Dur- ham District School Board teachers spent the day learn- ing wilderness first aid, at Purple Woods Conservation Area in Oshawa. "It kind of reduces anxi- ety should something go un- expected," says Victoria Woods, a teacher at Picker- ing High School. She already has standard first aid training as well as training for canoe tripping, but says the extra skills will offer peace of mind for school trips. The course - offered for the first time last year - is part of the DDSB's efforts to review field trip policies and risk management. Organizer Phil Matsush- ita, principal at Pine Ridge Secondary School, says about three quarters of DDSB high schools offer out- door trips such as canoeing, cycling and backpacking. The training is about safety for students, but also a "comfort level" for teach- ers, he says. About 40 DDSB high school teachers took the training last year with oth- ers on a waiting list. Matsushita expects it to become a regular offering - recertification is needed ev- ery two years. The DDSB's wilderness first aid training is provided by Code of Confidence, a company that uses firefight- ers, paramedics, nurses and other first responders as in- structors. "These are more in-depth skills than standard first aid," says retired firefighter and company owner Marty Smith, describing the course offered to DDSB teachers. For example, partici- pants learned advanced bandaging techniques and how to safely "package" and move an injured person out of the woods. Last fall, the DDSB beefed up its school trip pro- cedure to increase safety and accountability. The board added a new "attestation" form that must be signed by the school prin- cipal for riskier trips - those that are out of province, out of country or involve "high care" activities such as swimming, canoeing or cy- cling. The principal must check off a box indicating that all relevant policies and proce- dures have been followed, and that "trip leaders, in- structors, volunteers and students have demonstrated the requisite skills and qual- ifications." The stronger rules and added teacher training are happening after some high- profile incidents involving GTA students on school field trips. A Toronto District School Board teacher was recently charged with criminal negli- gence causing death, in the 2017 drowning of 15-year-old Jeremiah Perry on a school trip to Algonquin National Park. A third party review of the board's school excursion procedures found that the teen did not pass the TDSB's mandatory swim test before the trip and was not wearing a life-jacket. In March 2018, a 15-year- old Brampton boy with au- tism disappeared while on a school field trip after getting on the wrong bus, sparking a seven-hour search. The DDSB offered the wilderness first aid training as part of Safety Week from Sept. 17 to 21. NEWS DURHAM TEACHERS TAKING FIRST AID TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH WILDERNESS SKILLS John Carnie, a teacher at Oshawa's Adelaide McLaughlin Public School, Victoria Woods, a teacher at Pickering High School in Ajax, and Holly Harris, a teacher at Pickering High, practised doing CPR during a wilderness first-aid training course at Purple Woods Conservation Area Sept. 20. The Durham District School Board was offering the training as part of Safety Week. Teachers were taught emergency skills to be used during class excursions to remote locations.

Fortunately, you can use these tips to makeover any space. Kitchen. Instantly make this room look sophisticat- ed and transformed with a new backsplash. Since it’s a relatively small surface area, you can splurge on more luxurious tiles to create the aesthetic of your dreams, whether it’s sleek and modern or rustic and country. Finish off the room by swapping out cabinet hardware for a fresh and polished look. Living room. The right window coverings can add value, style and ambiance to your main living area. Frame the space with custom-designed window treat- ments from Hunter Douglas that let you choose the perfect fabric, size and style, whether you have patio or sliding glass doors or a bay window. Their shades offer both natural light and privacy, as well as energy ef- ficiency and smart-home operating systems that move the shades automatically to their perfect positions throughout the day. Bedroom. Switching up the bed linens can have a major effect on the mood in your bedroom, whether you want to go for chic and cheerful or eclectic and bo- hemian. Just be careful not to be too matchy-matchy with your comforter, sheets and pillows — it screams bed in a bag, which lacks style and personality. Instead, add your own flair with a variety of colours and pat- terns for space that is unique to you. Bathroom. It’s wise to keep plumbing where it is, as moving the location of your sink or tub can be a pricey move that isn’t worth the expense. For a more afford- able makeover, focus on decorative elements that can give you that home-spa feel. Add a bold frame to the vanity mirror and invest in open storage shelves. Store personal items in drawers or textured baskets, and line shelves with plush towels, candles and live greenery for a lush, comforting ambience. dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | We d n e s d a y , O c t o b e r 3 , 2 0 1 8 | 12 For more information about WEEMAX Children’s Charities and how you can help, please contact your RE/MAX Jazz sales representative at 905-728-1600 or at remaxjazz.com a RE/MaX Jazz REal EstatE pRofEssional, you aRE contRibuting to this Most woRthy causE!

For the unassuming eye this may seem normal, but this fresh wave seeks to un- leash a civil war of sorts. We need only look at our political leaders to see what's at play. On the first day of Parliament's fall ses- sion former Liberal MP Leona Alleslev crossed the floor to join the Conserva- tives, saying, "The govern- ment must be challenged openly and for me to pub- licly criticize the govern- ment as a Liberal would undermine the govern- ment and according to my code of conduct would be dishonourable." She went on to say, "To my Liberal colleagues, thank you. But my oath is to country, not party, and my sacred obli- gation is to serve my con- stituents." That last part sounded good, but she chose to hurl this spear at the prime min- ister and her former team not during their summer retreat or at their caucus meeting, but on the first day of battle, and Conser- vative leader Andrew Scheer stands with this turncoat as though this is a great victory. I suppose he's looking for some encouragement after the Maxime Bernier situation. Just before the Conservative convention began, this former Conser- vative caucus member an- nounced that he was leav- ing the party to form his own. Those we expected to help lead are taking their internal war public and are carrying a spirit of division with them there. I've not even mentioned our very own disrupter in Ontario, Premier Doug Ford. In regards to Toronto city council, for me it's nev- er been about if the prov- ince has the right to reduce its size. It does, but the how, when and why matter. That said, politicians who are still belly aching about the court of appeal's decision need to stop debating how unfair it is, move on and do what they were elected to do while they can. Still Ford has brought his Ford Nation mentality into his role as premier and with that, there will be lit- tle camaraderie ahead. It's clear the growing an- imosity on all sides has pol- iticians more interested in showing the public how different they are from their opponents rather than what makes us the same as Ontarians and Ca- nadians, which is a danger- ous place for all of us to be. - Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is passionate about truth in current affairs.

Ron Pietroniro / Metroland RUNNING TO VICTORY DURHAM - Police have issued an arrest warrant for a man accused of using fraud- ulent documentation to obtain cars from dealerships in Durham and York regions.

The 25-year-old used counterfeit identification documents during the transactions, police said. Poirier, who has ties to Quebec and New Brunswick, is wanted on charges includ- ing fraud over $5,000, personation with in- tent, and uttering a forged document. He is a white man with dark hair and a medium build. Police are urging Poirier to retain a law- yer and turn himself in.

By Lucy Allen Julia Roberts stars in her first leading role for television in ‘Homecoming’. The new Amazon series is from the creator of ‘Mr Robot’, Sam Esmail, and also stars Bobby Cannavale. ‘Homecoming’ is a half-hour psychological thriller that follows Heidi Bergman played by Roberts, a caseworker helping soldiers return- ing from war to reintegrate into civilian society. Roberts was at the recent Summer 2018 Televi- sion Critics Association press tour to talk about the new 10-episode series. At the event, she also spoke about working with Dermot Mulroney for a third time, her relationship with television and whether she and her husband have plans to work together again... So Julia this role seems like a bit of a departure for you. Can you talk about what film role might have best equipped you to play a social worker who transi- tions soldiers back to civilian life? JULIA ROBERTS: Nothing springs to mind [laughter]. Well, honestly, Sam Esmail, is what attracted me. And I just think that what Eli and Micah [Bloomberg] have written is such a great sort of old-fashioned yarn set in this really mod- ern conundrum of a morality play. And to put that in Sam’s incredibly stylish, capable hands, seemed a very safe place to be. What is Sam like as a director of actors? JULIA ROBERTS: Just a treasure, he’s just a total treasure. I loved every minute we spent together creatively, and socially. He just knows exactly the thing to say at all the right times. I mean no pressure but, yeah, I just felt that we had a great symbiotic relationship. Was this the right part at the right time? You seem very excited? JULIA ROBERTS: It is exciting. You know, I’ve always believed that the parts that I’ve been able and lucky enough to do always came at the right moment with the right people and that collective has worked out. And I think that this one, I think part of my enthusiasm is that we just finished. It’s all so fresh in your mind, you can remember it because usually we’re doing this a year down the line so… Does doing a television show enable you to have a more structured life away from work? JULIA ROBERTS: Not really. I mean kind of. When we worked at the studio it was predict- able driving to and from work but then we were on location sometimes and it was so far away. So a bit like film in that respect? JULIA ROBERTS: Yeah, I didn’t really see much difference. What was the part of this that was unexplored territory, be it the time you had to luxuriate in this character with the amount of episodes or the way the role pushed you? Were there new things for you that you found in this? JULIA ROBERTS: I like that you said ‘luxuriate’. That is not what anything felt like, ‘luxuriating’. But it was a great mental challenge every day. Continued on next page “I guess I didn’t really think of it as small screen-big screen. I don’t know. My television is very big.” – Julia Roberts Julia Roberts in Homecoming, a TV series that screened at TIFF’s Primetime program. Photos c ourtesy of TIFF Lucky lady, Julia Roberts challenged by TV series debut 15 | New s A d v e r t i s e r | We d n e s d a y , O c t o b e r 3 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m I kind of loved that. It became really the fuel a lot of times. How many pages are we going to get to do tomorrow? And is there going to be one shot with all of them or do we get a couple of shots to make? And it became exciting. And I think as a crew and as a cast, we all really enjoyed how challeng- ing Sam made all the aspects for us. It’s not just about having ourselves prepared. It’s about can you be prepared and walk up and down 10 flights of stairs? And keep it going and be on the phone or do this or do that or prepare a 10-course meal while you’re juggling with your feet. And so it was exciting for the crew to figure out ways to accomplish his dreams, as well as for all of us I think. You and Dermot Mulroney have worked together before, so what was it like work- ing together again on this project? JULIA ROBERTS: This is our third time work- ing together. We weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend the first time. We were best friends. And then he was my sister’s boyfriend in ‘August: Osage County’. Fiancé. JULIA ROBERTS: Fiancé, excuse me. And finally, my boyfriend. It only took 30 years. [laughter] Sam takes all the credit. He was like, ‘Oh, I have a good idea about a pair. How about Julia and Dermot? I bet that would be a good match.’ With so many big-screen stars coming to the small screen, were you looking to do tv after ‘The Normal Heart’? Was it really the script that made you fall in love or was it a larger goal to kind of explore the small screen? JULIA ROBERTS: I guess I didn’t really think of it as small screen-big screen. I don’t know. My television is very big. [laughter] And I think with Sam, we were so excited to collaborate on this and what we could do with it and just what you can do with more time to shoot and more time to unravel things for people. It seemed like a great opportunity. How long was the shoot? JULIA ROBERTS: We started in February and finished in June. So what were some of the challenges that necessitated seven or eight Takes? JULIA ROBERTS: Likely me tripping at some point or another in my heels. I always had a lot of props. You could take my entire career and put it all together and I didn’t touch as many props as I did in this program on a daily basis. How does Sam compare to other direc- tors you’ve worked with? JULIA ROBERTS: I’m fortunate that I’ve worked with a few directors that are as sort of genius-minded as Sam is. But I don’t think any- body can top him for his just daily enthusiasm. He’s just always smiling and just loves it so much and that is really contagious where we all end up feeling that way. And even though we say we work four-hour days and everything else, there were some long days, long scenes, we had a lot of complicated things to do, Stephan [James] and I, together and we were always happy. Is this a character that you’d like to live in a little longer? JULIA ROBERTS: Well, we just finished in June so I’m happy to take the summer off of Heidi. You talked before about working with Dermot previously, do you have a favou- rite memory of working together? JULIA ROBERTS: Gosh, I mean ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ was super fun and that’s really when we became best pals. So that has a place in the heart for sure.

THEY’RE HERE TO HELP YOU! From previous page When living in your own home becomes more than you are able to manage, it might be time to consider moving to a retirement residence. As you begin your search for the perfect new home, it’s important to visit as many residences as possible in your pre- ferred area. It’s also important to ensure you are asking the same questions at every place you visit so that you can compare apples to apples. Retirement residences are not all the same. Some cater to very independent res- idents and provide little to no care while others have the ability to provide very high levels of care. Some will provide three meals per day and some may only provide two. Some residences will include a weekly cleaning of the suite and one load of per- sonal laundry while some will charge extra for these services. ere is a fairly comprehensive check- list available for free at www.orcaretire- ment.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/ Visit-Checklist.pdf. I would suggest print- ing o a copy for each retirement resi- dence you plan to visit and then compare notes after you have visited them all. I would also suggest requesting that you be permitted to have a meal in the main dining room with the residents at each place you visit. You want to be sure you will enjoy the food. Speak with other resi- dents about what they like and what they don’t like. ey will be very honest with you about what life is like in that particu- lar residence. Also, take note of the sta . Do they smile and say hello as you tour the building? Do they introduce themselves? How do they interact with the other resi- dents? All of these details should be con- sidered when you are deciding where you want to live. Retirement residences are licensed and governed by the Retirement Homes Regu- latory Authority (RHRA). On their website, you may enter your postal code and a list will be generated of all of the retirement residences in your area. You may access the Public Register on the RHRA website at www.rhra.ca/en/search-the-public- register/?keyword=Ontario&type=addre ss. I would encourage you to print o the list of retirement residences in the area where you want to live and then, do some research online, if possible. Look at the website for each building you want to see. ey will likely have photos for you to see and some preliminary information about their services. Once you have narrowed down which residences you would like to visit, call to schedule your tour. I would suggest doing a trial stay at your top three favourites. Most residences will allow you to stay for up to 30 days on a short term stay agreement. is should allow you to make an informed decision. Happy hunting. — Anne Murphy is the seniors’ colum- nist for Forever Young. She can be reached at anne.avibrantlifemagazine@gmail.com. Anne Murphy Guest columnist You talked about your big TV at home, what is your relationship to television and how much does it play a role in your life? JULIA ROBERTS: I wish it played a bigger role in my life. I have three young children so I’m very careful about turn- ing the TV on and by the time we do turn the TV on I’m usually ready to go to sleep. Are you planning to work with your hus- band again any time soon? JULIA ROBERTS: Well we love work- ing together. We’ve collaborated I think seven times. Any upcoming projects together? JULIA ROBERTS: Erm, nothing really but I mean I love it personally, I don’t know how it is for him [laughs], you’d have to ask him but I love it. Finally, can you talk about whether you will be back for the second Season? JULIA ROBERTS: I think we’re going to peel one onion at a time. –The Interview People Our Canadian Sudoku By Walter D.

As a rule of thumb, if you have a base portfolio of less than $100,000, you might find that mutual funds are preferable.With a single mutual fund purchase, you can get exposure to many stocks or many bonds, or a combination of both. This gives you instant diversification with a relatively small amount of money.While diversification does not guarantee a profit and does not protect against loss in a declining market, it can significantly reduce your risk. On the other hand, once you have a base portfolio size of greater than $100,000, you might consider beginning to invest in individual stocks. For example, you could create a basket of high-quality, dividend-paying stocks in different sectors and geographies for proper portfolio diversification. Speak to your financial advisor about your particular situation.Whether it’s stocks, mutual funds or a combination of both, it’s important to select the right ones in the right amounts.
