The 23-year-old Whitby man sums up his emotional state as “bumpy” since the September 2009 incident where he was crushed by a scrap yard crane. “It’s always up and down but I’m doing all right,” he says, in the same cheer- ful tone his friends and family admired in him long before his horrific ordeal began. 905-683-6074 Full,Partial & BPS Dentures Implant Dentures Same Day Relines & Repairs Soft Liners House CallsAvailable Complimentary Consultations SaturdayAppointmentsAvailable Deegan Denture Clinic Michael Deegan DD 134 HarwoodAve.S.,Ajax (In theAjax Plaza in the corner by Home Hardware) “Denture Services –A FamilyTradition for Over 30Years!” Thinking ofHardwood?

(Markham & Lawrence) Classes to run as usual when school starts Sept. 6 KriSten CaliS kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Students could face long line- ups at Durham College next week if sup- port workers remain on strike. Just days before classes were set to begin for the fall semester, the support staff at Ontario’s 24 colleges have gone on strike after negotiations failed between the Ontario Public Service Employees Union and management. The two sides have been talking since June. “Our union has been trying to negoti- ate with the colleges for the past three months and unfortunately it’s come to an impasse where we can’t get past the job security issue,” said Linda Dillon, vice- president of Local OSPEU 353, who works in the school of sciences and engineering tech- nology at the col- lege. OPSEU repre- sents around 8,000 support workers across Ontario. A total of 329 Durham College support staff employees -- from administrative coordi- nators to cleaners to recreation staff -- are currently off the job. On the morning of Sept. 1, strikers were picketing the entrances to the college, which also serve as access to the Univer- sity of Ontario Institute of Technology. Durham College president Don Lovi- sa said the college will welcome around 8,400 new students next week. “Obviously there will be some impacts on our service levels and maybe little lon- ger lines for students,” he said. “We had quite a few students pre-register though but, there are still thousands that have to do it next week. And we’re optimistic that we’re going to get them through the lines and into the classrooms and classes run- ning as usual.” He’d like to see the strike end as soon as possible, but hopes the staff will return to work happy. “Nobody wants this situation but it is what it is,” he said. Darren Fisher, the communications chairman for Local OPSEU 353, who works in the school of media and arts design at Durham College, said job security is one of the biggest issues. Pay is always an issue, he said, but it’s just one of 55 points. More important are the colleges’ proposals for two-tier employment, a system where new work- ers would receive less money but more benefits, and the erosion of good, full- time jobs, he said. Strikers argue many of the students end up working in the colleges, so they could also get hurt in the long term . “We’re on strike for the students, as well for our own well-being,” Mr. Fisher said. OPSEU presi- dent Sid Ryan said public service workers are being forced into the lowest common denomi- nator by more and more new staff being hired as part-time workers. “We haven’t been on strike in 32 years, so that tells you something,” he said. Carol Connor, administration coordina- tor for the school of health and commu- nity services, said her biggest issue is the part-time staff. “We’ve got a very high abundance of part-time staff at the colleges who aren’t afforded any benefits,” she said. She wants to get back to work as soon as possible. “Nobody wants to disadvantage the stu- dents,” she said.

Classes are scheduled to begin as usual on Sept. 6, but services such as student ID and class registration will be affected if the strike continues. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 20114 AP Laptops, tablets and smartphones: the latest supplies on back-to-school lists Kristen CaLis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Students heading back to school are no longer concerned with buying pencils, binders and notebooks. Why would they if they can get all of that on one nifty device? Steve Coffin, operations manager at Whitby Future Shop, explained many students are purchasing the latest and greatest electronics such as laptops, tablets and smartphones for classes this September. Laptops, for example, allow students to take notes and keep track of scheduling all in one compact piece of equipment. This is the new way for students to stay con- nected with school, friends and family, Mr. Coffin said. He explained many students are buying into a new type of “eco system,” one that allows tech users to easily synch their equipment and move the information from one device to another. This is often the reason some- one will buy a Macintosh computer, an iPad for a tablet and an iPhone as a smartphone, for example. “It’s integrated into your other equipment,” he said. Although tablets have become extremely popular this back-to-school season -- they were new to the market last year -- the lap- top still seems to be the device students are buying most if they have to choose one or the other since it has much more memory than a tablet. The most common group of customers buying up the latest electronics are typical- ly those heading off to university for the first time, Mr. Coffin said. “They’re usually the 18 to 20 range,” he said. But high school students are really getting into the new technology more and more, he said. “It’s not only for school, but they use it for everything,” he said. For example, a student can take a tablet to school to take notes, and then listen to music or search the Internet on the bus on the way home. While elementary-school-age children are not really buying all of the technology, they’re becoming quite tech savvy, Mr. Coffin said. Although a lot of students leaving for uni- versity have already stocked up on their new gadgets for the fall semester, Future Shop is expecting another rush. “A lot of people tend to wait more to the last minute so the next couple of weeks will be busy,” he said. They’ll often come back after the semester has begun when they get a better feel for what they really need. what’s needed Retrevo, an American-based consumer electronics shopping and review website, breaks down elec- tronics according to “need” in its back-to-school guide. Must-haves: laptop/notebook, monitor, e-reader Nice to have: printer, accessories, such as tablets and smart- phones Tips from Retrevo • Smartphones are not needed. While they’re nice to have, budget-savvy students can get by just fine with a good laptop and a regular feature phone. If you really need applications, try an iPod Touch, which has no monthly fees. • Today’s college students don’t need a dedicated television. Students can get a large computer mon- itor with the necessary ports that can give them more workspace on their laptop and allow them to plug into their Blu-ray player, gaming console, or other media device. • E-readers are money-savers. Once you get past the initial expense of an e-reader, students will be able to buy books at a cheaper price than they’ll find on the shelves. • Minimum laptop requirements: Retrevo recom- mends something with a webcam, six hours and more of a battery life, 250GB minimum of storage, a weight of less than five pounds and a Dual Core i3 or i5.

DOORCRASHERSPECIALSEVERYHOUR Safety Motorcyclists can’t control vehicular traffic To the editor: Re: ‘Take extra care on two wheels’ letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, Aug. 15, 2011. While I totally agree with the vulnerabil- ity and often reckless behaviour of some motorcycle operators, the risks associated with motorcycling are generally the result of vehicular traffic. I have personally taken two motorcycle safety courses to be a better operator, and while I control my own motorcycle I can- not control vehicular traffic around me. This differs greatly from the controlled risks and inherent risks of skydiving men- tioned in the previous letter. However, due to these uncontrollable risks I have opted to sell my motorcycle as the price is to high for me to ride. I value my health far too much. Michelle Ardron Pickering feedback Durham chairman acts at behest of democratically elected government To the editor: Re: ‘Stand up and fight incinerator’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, Aug. 10, 2011. The errors in the letter are many. First, Roger Anderson is merely the chairman of Durham Region Council and, as such, does not sign contracts at his whim. Everything he signs is at the behest of the Regional council members as their repre- sentative. These council members reach their decisions using the democratic pro- cess. Inherent in this process are those who support and those who oppose. With regard to the incinerator, the sup- porters outnumbered the opponents, giv- ing Mr. Anderson the authority to sign the contract. The decision to proceed with the incin- erator was reached by the outgoing coun- cil last year prior to the municipal elections last fall. Candidates such as Mary Novak and Adri- an Foster in that election used the issue of the incinerator merely as a way to garner votes and, in so doing, they have polarized our community. The decision to build an incinerator was reached only after many years of research with regard to the need for such a facility and the impact it may or may not have on our environment. All I ask is that those NIMBYs who oppose virtually every viable form of alternative energy production suggested please offer your constructive suggestions to resolve our energy problem. Nancy Veals Bowmanville ReSeaRch Making Durham a positive place for all To the editor: Re: ‘Hate crimes centre around sexual ori- entation: UOIT professor’, news, Whitby This Week, Aug 10, 2011. I was glad to read that Dr. Perry is researching violence towards individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. The statistics reported in this article sur- rounding the increase in hate crimes and how the majority that are based on sexu- al orientation become violent highlights the importance of this type of research, but there are also less overt homophobic/ transphobic acts that go on in our commu- nity. Research, emphasis and action surround- ing this is crucial as it often goes unnoticed. Many youth stand up to bullying based on sexual orientation now as a result of the gay-straight alliances that many public high schools have. GSA’s educate students of all sexual ori- entations how to be allies and create posi- tive, accepting spaces. We need to model this approach in our home, business and work communities in Durham Region. It is our responsibility to align as commu- nity members and ensure that homopho- bic acts are eliminated and that we nurture our communities’ diversity. Let’s make Durham a positive space for all.

A Scugog home is reduced to char and ash after a blaze that starts in a garage sweeps through the house. A Clar- ington restaurant owner watches as his business burns in Bowmanville, even as fire crews train their hoses on the confla- gration. In a span of a few days in Durham Region, fire and fire safety has been thrust into the spotlight, reminding us all of the dangers that can lurk. Fortunately, there were no human inju- ries in the unrelated fires this week. But for the quick actions of those involved and the awareness of the danger, these inci- dents could have ended much more tragi- cally. That relatively minor burn injuries were suffered in the Clarington kitchen fire are a blessing. But as the calendar turns over to a new school year and the return to work for so many after their summer vacations, it’s the perfect time to review fire safety prac- tices at home, at work and at school. Under existing regulations, homes must have working smoke alarms on every level of a home. Families should also prepare and prac- tise a home escape route should the worst-case scenario occur. It’s a good idea, too, to install a carbon monoxide detector near bedrooms to monitor air quality and provide a warning should a critical piece of equipment malfunction. Fire officials also recommend equip- ping kitchens with fire extinguishers as an added layer of protection should a fire ignite. The traditional time for Durham resi- dents to check smoke alarms falls when we set our clocks back an hour in October. But it’s never too early to do a quick test in your home or business to ensure that alarms are in working order, that escape routes are clear, that emergency numbers are posted near the phone, and that all reasonable safety precautions have been taken. Take the time this long weekend to assess your fire safety status at home and at your workplace. Replace dead batteries if necessary, make the areas in which fire is most likely to start as safe as they can be, and include family members or work colleagues in the process. Structures and their contents can always be replaced. But the unimaginable grief that accompanies the loss of a loved one, or the pain and rehabilitation confronted by those injured in a fire lasts a lifetime. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 20117 AP SAVE $40 NOW $319.99 Samsung 27" Widescreen LED Monitor 1920x1080, 2ms(GtG) 5M:1(DCR), VGA, HDMI MTSS001830 Model: S27A350H NOW $799.99 Gateway DX4850-45CU PC Intel Core I7-2600 Processor NVIDIA GeForce GT420 1GB Graphics 8GB DDR3 Memory, 1TB HDD Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Keyboard & Mouse RTGA000340 Acer Aspire 23" All-In-One PC RTAC001605 Model: AZ5101-E3712 (Refurbished) $489.99 OCZ Solid 3 60GB 2.5" SATA3 Solid State Drive SMOC001002 Read: 500MB/s Write: 450MB/s Intel Pentium E5700 2GB DDR3 RAM 320GB SATA HDD Windows 7 Professional Keyboard & Mouse *after $10IR + $20MIR SAVE $30* $89.99* Razer Mamba Elite Ergonomic Wireless Gaming Mouse PERZ000359 SAVE $15 $114.99 Acer Veriton PC RTAC001620 Model:VM275-ED5700W Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200.12 SATA3 32MB Cache (OEM) HDSG002051 $309.99 SAVE $5 $54.99 Logitech EX100 Cordless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse Combo PELO002614 29% OFF $19.99 Toshiba Core i3 15.6" Notebook LPTO001240 Model: L650-0DN WD Elements Desktop 1TB External Hard Drive HDWD001308 SAVE $20 $69.99 Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch USB Tablet PEWC000402 SAVE $10 $79.99 copying (up to): 27 ppm printing (up to): 27 ppm 16 ppm 1200x1200 dpi SAVE $100 $1699.99 SAVE $240 $439.99 Samsung ML-1675 Monochrome Laser Printer PRSS000850 SAVE $30 $39.99 22% OFF $27.99 21% OFF $14.99 Samsung 23" Widescreen LCD Monitor MTSS001640 ASUS 17.3" Gaming Notebook w/ Gaming Backpack and Gaming Mouse LPAS003510 Model: G74SX-A1 SAVE $30 $149.99 Brother DCP-7065DN Multifunction Mono Laser Printer PRBR001158 SAVE $80 $99.99 Kingston DataTraveler DT108 uRDrive Flash Drive SMKT001250 / SMKT001240 22% OFF $20.99 16GB8GB16GB8GB 26% OFF $10.99 0099.0022 -0099..0088..22001111 SAVE $200 NOW $699.99 AMD Athlon II X4 605E nVIDIA GF 9200 Graphics 4GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB HDD Keyboard & Mouse Windows 7 Home Premium NOW $496 ASUS Eee Pad Transformer 10.1" Tablet with Docking Station and Keyboard BUND002528 / BUND00252916hr battery life with mobile docking 16GB NOW $596 32GB NOW $424.99 ASUS Eee Pad Transformer 10.1" Tablet with Protective Sleeve and Stand BUND002526 / BUND002527 16GB NOW $524.99 32GB ASUS 14" Core i3 Notebook Intel Core i3-380M Processor NVIDIA GeForce 425M 1GB Graphics 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit LPAS003265 Model: U41JF-A1 1 1 Sa su g 675 Monochrome Laser P g Patriot LX Signature Flash microSDHC Class 10 SMPT000950 / SMPT000940 Intel Core i3-380M 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD Windows 7 Home Premium OCZ Solid 3 60GB 2.5 Solid State Drive Re W *afte Mamba Elite E PERZ000359 agate Barraccuda 1T 00.12 SATA3 32MB Cache (O O0026142614 Intel Core i7-2630QM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 12GB RAM, 1.5TB HDD Windows 7 Home Premium Int NV 12 W Wacom Bamboo Pen USB Tablet 4.9" x 3.4" Active Touch Area 5.8" x 3.6" Active Pen Area ASUS 17.3 Gam w/ Gaming Backpack and Gaming Mgpg Wid LCDWidescreenLCD Prices in effect from September 02 - September 08, 2011 while quantities last.

Nothing is more fitting for the occasion than a visit to a local vineyard for some wining and dining. No need to hop on a plane, or travel too far for this adventure, Durham Region is home to two fabulous winer- ies. Archibald Orchards and Estate Winery is a fourth-generation family farm busi- ness, located on 40 acres in Bowmanville, with a beautiful surrounding country- side. After 10 years of winemaking for fun, Fred Archibald converted his hobby into an important aspect of the family busi- ness. Growing up in Niagara’s fruit belt and eating a lot of fruit influenced his concept of what he thought wine should taste like -- the fruit it’s made from. In June 1997, Fred and Sandy Archi- bald opened the doors to their orchards and estate winery with eight selections on their wine list. Today, their offerings have more than doubled, ranging from very dry to des- sert ice wines. One of their newest wines is “Black,” and is receiving rave reviews from those who enjoy dry reds. The fresh fruit blend of black cherries and black currants matches well with beef, chees- es and even turkey. The Archibalds use their own qual- ity, tree-picked apples, as well as other quality Ontario fruit in their wines. Their offerings also include non-alco- holic wines, apple cider vinegar and dessert accompaniments. Join them for daily wine tasting; you might get to meet Fred yourself, and find out which fruits the Archibalds are experimenting with now. Visit www.archibaldwinery.com. Ocala Orchards Farm Winery (or Ocala Winery for short) in Port Perry opened to the public in 1995. Fifteen acres of orchards and 20 acres of producing and maturing vineyard provide the fruit for Ocala’s wines. At least 50 per cent of the orchard fruit and grapes for its wines must be grown onsite, and any pur- chased fruit to support wine production is grown in Ontario only. Ocala’s vineyard is made up of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Auxerrios, Mus- cat, Vidal, Seyval, Baco Noir, Marechal Foch, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Its orchard of more than 3,000 fruit trees produces several apple varieties, pears, plums and cherries. Berry crops include black currant, raspberry, elder- berry, gooseberry and Northern Hardy kiwi. Together, these fabulous fruits combine to make more than 20 wine varieties. Non-alcoholic sparkling juices are another Ocala treat. Owners Irwin and Alissa Smith strive to improve their product each year. To them, winemaking is a wonderful and humbling challenge. The winery is housed within a renovat- ed century-old, board and beam dairy barn. The processing area, barrel room, tank room, warehouse, lab and tasting room are all on site as well. Contact the winery to arrange tours and tastings, or for more information on its Fall Harvest Festival happening in September, visit www.ocalawinery.com.

ENTER ONLINE @ www.durhamparent.com New investments will bolster mental health programs Moya DilloN mdillon@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Seniors struggling with men- tal health issues will have access to an increasing number of programs in Dur- ham thanks to a major investment. On Aug. 29, the Central East Local Health Integration Network, along with several other LHINs, announced an investment of $40 million to enhance ser- vices for seniors who exhibit behaviours associated with complex and challenging mental health, dementia or other neuro- logical conditions. The $40-million provincial investment includes $1.6 million for the Central East LHIN in the current fiscal year, and $4.06 million on an annual basis. The funding will allow local health-service providers to hire new staff such as nurses, person- al support workers and other health-care providers, and train them in the special- ized skills necessary to provide care with dignity and respect. “With this new investment, the LHIN and its health service providers have the financial resources to continue to imple- ment new and expanded local initiatives to care for seniors with complex behav- ioural needs,” said Deborah Hammons, CEO of the Central East LHIN. The investment is part of the provincial Behavioural Supports Ontario project, which focuses on providing quality care for seniors with mental health conditions in an environment of safety, high-quality, evidence-based care and practice. “We know Ontario’s population is aging and that the number of seniors with dementia and other complex health needs is going to increase,” said Deb Matthews, minister of health and long term care. “Patients deserve to be managed with sensitive care. The Behavioural Supports Ontario Project, the first of its kind in Canada and only one of a handful in the world, will support this vulnerable popu- lation.” The move is being applauded by com- munity groups that are already strug- gling to care for the increasing number of seniors with complex and challenging mental health issues. “The Alzheimer Society of Ontario applauds these much-needed invest- ments that will strengthen the capacity of both families and our health-care system to improve the quality of life for this group of Ontarians,” said Carey Gale, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of Ontario. “Today’s announcement responds to solutions suggested by family caregiv- ers and health-care personnel coping with these challenges every day, whether they’re in hospitals, long-term care facili- ties or in their own homes. The Alzheimer Society looks forward to working with the LHINs in implementing this important project.” The LHIN will be developing and imple- menting their local plan beginning on Tuesday, Nov. 1. fast facts facts about seniors mental health • Across Ontario 65 per cent of long-term care home residents have dementia • By 2020 the number of people with dementia in Ontario is expected to increase by 40 per cent, to 220,000 • In the Central East LHIN, three to five per cent of the population requires specialized geriatric psy- chiatry services, representing about 8,000 older adults • Including less severe disorders, substance abuse and age-related disorders such as dementia, the prevalence of mental health problems among older adults is between 17 and 30 per cent, or up to 60,000 people in the Central East LHIN Source: Central East LHIN ceNtral east lHiN Durham to receive funding for senior care durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 20119 P WATCH FORNEW DEALS DAILY! Mr. Lue, who excelled in sports while a student at Pickering High School in Ajax, was working as a mechanical apprentice at a car repair shop in Pickering when the car he was in was suddenly pushed onto a scale that weighed vehicles for scrap metal. A 20-tonne crane swung around and hit the car on an angle while another crane lifted it up. When someone informed the crane operator that Mr. Lue was still in the vehicle, he dropped the car from a height of 15 feet. The accident left the former athlete with a broken back, fractured neck, bro- ken ribs and spinal cord damage. Since then, he’s adjusted to life in a wheelchair while making regular visits to physiotherapists and occupational thera- pists. He remains in pain today, unable to sit up for more than a few hours at a time. “I can’t say that I’m not doing well because I’m happy, and that’s just how I am, but I definitely have my down days,” he says. “I get frustrated a lot quicker but I think that has a lot to do with the pain.” Of the hurdles he’s faced, Mr. Lue says it’s the financial burden that’s been weighing on him the most lately. Earlier this year, his insurance company cut off compensation for his medical expenses, forcing him to pay for most of the neces- sary supplies out of his own pocket. To help offset the costs, Mr. Lue’s sup- port team is organizing a special fund- raiser next month, called Party with Pur- pose. “When it first happened, we went to see him in the hospital and it was such a miraculous story, even though it was trag- ic,” says Cheryl Nicholson, whose daugh- ter went to high school with Mr. Lue. “We just couldn’t believe he survived that kind of accident and still maintained his positive attitude. He’s always been the life of the party and he still is -- he comes in and everyone’s laughing.” The event, which Ms. Nicholson is orga- nizing, is an ideal way to bring everyone together and eventually come up with more long-term solutions, she says. “I’m very optimistic that he’s going to be fine but right now ... this is a financial hump that he has to get over and I can’t imagine other people being as strong as he’s been.” Mr. Lue says he’s hopeful the fundraiser will spread awareness about the needs of other disabled people while also helping improve his quality of life. “It gets worrisome thinking about if I’m going to have enough supplies for the rest of the month but thankfully, things are starting to look up so I can at least sleep at night,” he says. “It’s nice to know that people are out there caring and helping me get back to life, basically.” The Party with Purpose fundraiser will be held at 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 9 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Pickering, 1555 Bayly St. Tickets are $10. Businesses interested in donating to this event, including raffle items or snacks/ refreshments, can contact Ms. Nicholson at cherylnicholson5@hotmail.com.

The performance tells the tale of the 1837 Rebellion and the residents who participat- ed. The rebellion was aimed at encouraging government reform as part of a backlash against the appointed Legislative Council, which was seen as being under the con- trol of a group of elites known as the Family Compact. The museum’s Backwoods Players per- form A Spirit Walk annually as a way to relive the history of Pickering Township and honour previous residents and their struggle for responsible government. The performance is held in Pickering Museum Village’s historic buildings, by candle and firelight. In honour of Pickering’s Bicentennial, a special performance on Thursday, Sept. 24 will be dedicated to descendants of partici- pants on both sides of the rebellion. More than 100 descendants from the northern U.S. and southern Ontario will return to Pickering to re-live their ancestors’ experi- ence. A Spirit Walk runs Sept. 16, 17, 23.

This is because furnaces typi- cally required manual ignition of the pilot light, which for the most part is a thing of the past. Now, a furnace maintenance can be performed anytime – ideally, long before the cold weather arrives and the line–ups for maintenances start. “There's another perk to booking a fur- nace maintenance off–season, as many homeowners may be unaware that their furnace operates during the summertime by circulating cooled air from the air condi- tioner.” says Dave Walton, director of home ideas, Direct Energy. “The blower motor is responsible for moving cool air through the duct work of the house. This also means it's important to continue changing the furnace ﬁ lters regularly.” And last but certainly not least, safety. Scheduling a regular maintenance for gas ﬁ red heating appliances, such as furnaces, boilers and ﬁ replaces can help detect carbon monoxide leaks and avoid the development of unsafe conditions. Having working car- bon monoxide detectors in the home is an- other key safety measure. It might be 25 degrees out, but think about getting ahead on your furnace maintenance. Consider bumping up your annual mainte- nance by a month or so, to late August or early September. Better yet, arrange to have your furnace maintenance done when you get the air conditioner maintenance done. More information is available online at www.directenergy.com or toll–free at 1–888–266–3939. www.newscanada.com When is the time right for furnace maintenance? From power tools, rakes and shovels, to patio furniture, planters and summer sports equipment, bringing the backyard into the garage—and ﬁ nding a place to keep every- thing—can seem like a daunting task. Fortunately, with some simple planning and a few helpful items, this can be one job you proudly check off the fall cleaning list. Experts at The Home Depot Canada offer these top garage storage tips: 1. Mount items such as garden rakes, hoses and sports equipment using racks and hooks on a side wall. 2. Organize hardware in plastic drawers and store alongside small power tools within a wall cabinet. Husky offers a two door wall unit with ample shelving. 3. Make use of ceiling space to store larger items. Ceiling mounted racks can hold everything from bicycles to patio chairs.

We have to keep supporting that otherwise the world is going to become com- puterized everything.” If her name sounds familiar, you’ve probably heard of the Juno- nominated songwriter through Gypsygrass, her former band. Now she has a new band, featuring for- mer Gypsygrass members Aubrey Dale on drums, cellist Cynthia Steeles and daughter and multi- instrumentalist Shanna Hanko, but also Guess Who guitarist Dale Russell and Kim Mitchell bassist Rob Laidlaw. “(Russell) and I started rehears- ing and it clicked perfect,” Body says. “Dale asked friend Rob Laid- law if he wanted to check it out.” And when the band fleshed out, she didn’t want to do the same old, playing the bar scene. Been there, done that, had enough. So Body opted for more of an inti- mate setting, enlisting Ajax art- ist Geordie Lishman and some friends and Esther Forde from Cultural Expressions Art Gallery to bring visual art into the mix. The final ingredient was food, and local establishments came on board with eats. Experience it for yourself Sept. 9 and Oct. 1 at the Rotary Park Pavil- ion from 7:30 to 11 p.m. Tickets are $15, available at Play it Again Val, 20 Harwood Ave. S., and Deb- bie’s Boutique Cafe, 94 Harwood Ave. S., both in Ajax. Body had been looking for a venue for more shows and found it in Safari Bar and Grill in Pickering Village. “The area downstairs at the Safari is beautiful and perfect for this,” she states. As a result, she has booked two more shows, Nov. 2 and 30 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for each are $27 or two for $50, which includes six appetizers, the art show and con- cert and a free CD. They are avail- able at Play it Again Val, or call 905-683-3833 to reserve. Body says you might find your- self out of luck if you choose to pay at the door as a seat may not be available. If all goes well at Safari she’ll aim to hold monthly shows there in the new year. Body says the band will be play- ing material off the two CDs she released in 2009, UPstream and Falling Into Place. “Whatever I happen to write musically happens by accident,” she says of the material. “I wasn’t really setting out to do anything. There’s still that little bit of wild essence on the CDs so there’s still a lot of that gypsy feeling and there’s that Celtic influence as well.” The band also plays some Gypsygrass songs.

The French film is the first offering in The Ajax Film Circuit’s new season, screened Sept. 7 at the Ajax Cineplex Odeon. “Set in 1977 in a provincial French town, Potiche is a free adaptation of the 1970s eponymous hit comic play,” states rottentomatoes.com. “Catherine Deneuve is Suzanne Pujol, a submissive, housebound trophy house- wife, or potiche, who steps in to manage the umbrella factory run by her wealthy and tyrannical husband (Fabrice Luchi- ni) after the workers go on strike and take him hostage. To everyone’s surprise, Suzanne proves herself a competent and assertive woman of action.

Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 201118 AP Go-KartinG Kingsley right on track ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland AJAX -- Jeffrey Kingsley, 13, became the Eastern Canadian Karting champion and the Canadian National Karting champion earlier this summer. Go-kart driver a double champion Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Jeff Kingsley liked the feeling of being a champion so much, he went out and duplicated the feat a second time. The 13 year old from Ajax won the Eastern Canadian go-kart championship, a series consisting of six races at Ontario tracks in Goodwood and Mosport, as well as Quebec tracks in Mont Tremblant and Trois Rivieres. His efforts earned him rookie of the year hon- ours. He returned again to Mont Tremblant recently to compete against the best drivers in the country, returning home as national champion in the Mini-Max class. “I was planning on winning, but there was one kid (Devlin DeFrancesco) that was my toughest competition,” said Kingsley in a phone interview. At nationals in Mont. Tremblant, Kingsley won the first two heats, finished sixth in a wet heat three, but was back at the front of the line after the pre-final. In a shortened final, he won the national title, edging DeFrances- co by 0.281 seconds. “Before the season started my dad and I never imagined that anything like this would happen. But after a year of hard work, it paid off,” he told the eKartingNews.ca website. Originally a hockey player with the Ajax- Pickering Raiders Triple-A program, as well as playing lacrosse and soccer, he turned to karting around the age of nine, following his dad, Ian, who used to race as well. “It’s more fun,” he said of switching from the more traditional sports to racing. “I was doing great in it. I loved it and wanted to do it more than hockey.” The sport has turned into a year-round endeavour for Kingsley, who will enter Grade 8 when school begins. In January, February and March he travelled to Florida to get in some practice on the Florida Winter Karting Tour. As part of his national championship, one of the perks is a trip to Dubai for the World Finals in September. However, it will only be as an observer, as there is no class offered for his age group. He will be resigned to cheering on the Canadian team, and envisioning what it would be like to be on the starting grid next year at the World Finals if he can duplicate this past summer. Before the season started, my dad and I never imagined that anything like this would happen. Jeff Kingsley BURLINGTON -- The Ajax Strikers made the most of an invitation to partici- pate in the Canadian Sheild, one of the most prestigious soccer tournaments in the country. The U17 team advanced all the way to the championship game before falling to the world club champions from Brazil 4-2. Leading up to the championship game, the Strikers beat Australia 5-0, Montreal 3-1, Mexico 8-0, and edged Holland 2-1 in the semifinals. The Canadian Shield offers the high- est calibre of soccer for its teams, draw- ing entries from the United States, Puerto Rico, Holland, Brazil, Australia and Mexi- co. Last year, the Ajax Gunners won the championship of the tournament, beating Mexico 1-0 in the final game. ajax Strikers reach final of Canadian Shield SoCCer BaSKetBall trio leads ontario to national title AJAX -- A trio of basketball players helped avenge a loss in last year’s national championship final game, helping Ontario get to the top of the podium. Agunwa Okolie, Kaza Keane and Mikyle McIntosh played prominent roles in helping the Ontario U17 team win gold with a convincing 82-68 victory over Nova Scotia in the championship game at Hum- ber College. Ontario went on a 10-0 run to start the game and were up 43-32 at the half. Ontario reached the final after dispos- ing of British Columbia 89-44 in the semifi- nals. Keane had an especially strong tour- nament, named to the first all-star team. In 2010, Ontario advanced all the way to the title game, but were defeated by Quebec. The national championship was the second significant title for Okolie this sum- mer. His St. David Blues club team won the Division I Ontario Cup held at Brock University in St. Catharines as well.

Football Dolphins win two out of three games in Scarborough atom and peewee teams victorious in road games AJAX -- It was another success- ful weekend for the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins as the club traveled to visit the Scarborough Thunder and took home wins in two of the three games. The Dolphins Atom team got the ball rolling by defeating the Thun- der 28-0 with touchdowns by Dar- ius Brown, Aaron Chung and Riley McBride. The Dolphins’ defence was spec- tacular with two interceptions and two forced fumbles and recoveries. The second game saw the Dol- phins peewees continue an unbeat- en season with an 18-0 victory over the Thunder. The score was built on touch- downs by Jayden Cruz on a 10 yard run, Craig Gonsalves on a 50 yard run and Bailey Grimes on a run of 20 yards. However, the highlight of the game was the Dolphins stingy defence that forced several fumbles and interceptions. At the bantam level, the Dol- phins team was not as fortunate as they went down 35-19. At the mid- way point of the third quarter the Dolphins recovered to within two points moving from 21-6 down to make it 21-19. But that was as close as the Dolphins would get. Several penalty calls later and the Dolphins had allowed two more touchdowns to put the game out of reach. baSketball Fire Basketball announces tryouts DURHAM -- From the Atlantic to Pacific, the sounds of sneakers scraping gym floors and basketballs echoing off gym walls has become a common song within Canada’s rich sporting landscape. In recent years Canadians have been drawn to basketball in record numbers, helping Canadian young- sters foster healthy lifestyle choic- es. Fire Basketball Association, a non-profit organization that serves Durham Region, Scarborough and North York, is once again gearing up to increase the sport of basket- ball through its grassroots initia- tives, through programs such as a developmental program for young- sters to learn the fundamentals of basketball or the competitive envi- ronment of Rep and AAU teams. From Sept. 24, to Dec. 3, Fire Bas- ketball will host development acad- emies on Saturdays in Durham, Scarborough and North York at locations to be determined. Young athletes of any skill level from 4-12 years of age are welcome. The cost of the academy is $90 per participant. In September, Fire Basketball’s established rep team programs will hold tryouts in eight age categories starting at the novice level. “Basketball is a game of reac- tions requiring the participants to play instinctively,” explained Dar- nell Charlemagne, one of Fire Bas- ketball’s founding directors. “The introduction of sport specific train- ing at an early age helps to promote and reinforce the fundamentals of the game which translates to great- er on-court success for young play- ers.” Visit www.firebasketball.ca for registration details and locations. Soccer Pickering athletes help UOIT to unbeaten preseason start OSHAWA -- The UOIT Ridgebacks men’s soccer team returned home from an exhibition series in Ottawa with a win and a tie as they remain undefeated through three games of exhibition action. The Ridgebacks upended the hosting Ottawa Gee Gee’s 5-0 in their opening game on Saturday and followed that up with a 1-1 draw against Sherbrooke. Midfielder Alex Razimor scored two goals against Ottawa including one on a penalty shot while a pair of Pickering products, Justin Gor- don and Daniel Matthews, along with Andrew Serediuk had singles. Pickering’s Matt Caldaroni and Michael Heinrich split time in net for the shutout. In the game against Sherbrooke, the Ridgebacks trailed 1-0 midway through the second half, but a goal from Matt Craven evened things up and allowed UOIT to escape with the tie. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 2, 201120 P Wa nt to know what’s happening in Pickering?

SWIMMING ETOBICOKE -- Durham Synchro’s 10 and under provincial team, coached by Holley Lundmark and Jenilee Keslering, sported a shiny gold medal and towering trophy after an award-winning performance at the 2011 Ontario open age group synchronized swim- ming championships in Etobicoke. Emily Barton, Sarah Bianco, Erin Clark, Nicole Exley, Tianna Henry, Alicia Lopers, Madeleine MacNeil and Madeleine Schropp charmed the audience with a high-energy, cowboy-themed routine. Competing against 14 other clubs, the junior competitors were cool under pressure while demonstrating their agility and synchronicity in the pool. Competing in the figures segment of this meet, the 10 and under provincial team pro- duced strong results with four team mem- bers placing within the top 20 across their respective age groups. Alicia Lopers received a podium placing with a fifth-place finish in the 10 and under figures division. The follow- ing results are for the 10 and under division: Alicia Lopers (5), Emily Barton (14), Mad- eleine Schropp (17), Sarah Bianco (33) and Nicole Exley (59). In the Figures, 11 Year Old Age Group: Madeleine MacNeil (10), Tianna Henry (21) and Erin Clark (36). Coaches Sarah Stokes and Debbie Sands produced a thriving 11-12 yr. provincial team this season. Placing ninth in the team finals championships, this team performed to a Celtic-themed routine. Team mem- bers Julie Donelle (31), Hope Grant (74), Nieve Iannarelli (51) and Samantha Low (7) showed great promise while competing in the 12 yr. division of the figures competition. Amelia Massie (69) and Mina Mladenovic (64) held their own in the 13 yr. figures. The 13-15 yr. provincial team triumphed with a third-place finish in the 14 yr. team finals. Competing against nine other clubs in this category, the team accepted their awards with coaches Kirsten Femson and Cathy Vel- dohen-Smith present for support.

In the 13 yr. fgures division: Ali- son Exley (32), Elizabeth Kozak (41), Mad- elyn Minaret (43) and Brooke Evans (54).

As a successful conclusion to the provincial level competitive season, Durham Synchro’s teams maintained respectable results in all the categories represented. Durham Synchro golden SUBMITTED PHOTO DURHAM -- It was a solid end to the season for members of Durham Synchro.PICKERINGPICKERINGADVERTISING FEATURE Summer is here and after spending more time outside and opening your windows to let in some fresh air, you’ve noticed that they are old, ugly or just in rough shape. It may be tempting to pick up some windows and install them yourself, but you may find that you’re not getting the highest quality windows and the installation is trickier than it seems. Even if you buy the best windows on the market, if they are not installed and sealed properly, they essentially become worthless. “If a window or door is not installed properly, you can get drafts coming into the house,” explains Wayne Hutchinson, owner of Durham Windows and Doors. “I often get calls from people who have tried to install windows themselves or have used a friend or family member to come out and fix the installation.” Homeowners can save themselves the cost and trouble by having their windows and doors done properly the first time. Specializing only in windows and doors, Wayne and his staff have earned a reputation for their great work. Wayne will come to your house to measure and will bring with him samples of the windows that he has available. Not only can you shop from the comfort of your own home, but you can also see exactly how the windows will look. “After being in this business for 34 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market,” says Wayne. “They’re triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware.” All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware and glass. Homeowners may also be tempted to hire a company that is willing to work under the table. The problem is that while they may save money short-term, it could cost them everything in the long run. If a worker is not insured and gets injured in your home, you are liable. Fly by night companies also won’t be around to honour warranties or help with any issues that come up. All of the installers at Durham Windows and Doors are staff, not subcontractors, are fully insured and have their WSIB certificates. Durham Windows and Doors is located at 696 King Street West in Oshawa. For more information, please call Wayne at (905) 579-2222 or 1-888-576-8575.
