Dungeon victim horrified Busy highway remains safe, study finds JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A study that identi- fies a stretch of Hwy. 401 in Dur- ham Region as a high-collision zone comes as no surprise to the cops who patrol the busy free- way. Poor driving habits, high traffic volume and numerous converg- ing lanes combine to make the four-kilometre stretch of Hwy. 401 between Liverpool Road in Pickering and Westney Road in Ajax a potential “hot spot” for collisions, Staff-Sergeant Rob Kobayashi of the Whitby OPP detachment agreed. “We have done several stud- ies and have identified that (sec- tion of highway) as one of the hot spots on the (401) corridor,” he said. A provincial Ministry of Trans- portation study found that the heavily-travelled Hwy. 401 cor- ridor is remarkably safe, with a fatality rate of .62 per 10,000 licensed drivers. But several stretches, in Mississauga, Scar- borough and Pickering, have col- lision rates in excess of the rest of the highway, the study found. Staff-Sgt. Kobayashi said the busy Liverpool to Westney stretch presents drivers with a number of challenges, including numerous on and off ramps and lanes merg- ing between express and collec- tor routes. Add in driver behav- iours such as speeding, tailgating and unsafe lane changes and the potential for crashes increases, he said. “We are constantly looking to change driver behaviour,” Staff- Sgt. Kobayashi said. To sway driver attitudes, the OPP rely on visibility and enforce- ment as well as education cam- paigns, constantly attempting to discourage aggressive, distract- ed and impaired driving while encouraging safety measures such as seat belt use. Collisions on a busy corridor such as the 401, which teems daily with a blend of commuter and commercial traffic, are inev- itable, Staff-Sgt. Kobayashi said. But something as simple as slow- ing the speed of traffic can greatly affect the outcome of those crash- es. “We haven’t necessarily reduced the collision rate but we have reduced personal injury rates,” he said. “I am absolutely confident we have one of the safest highways in North America.” 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 • Se p t e m b e r 1 2 , 2 0 1 2 2 AP Continuing EducationFall Workshops www.durhamcollege.ca/coned | 905.721.3052 Learning really can be fun...and quick.Try a workshop this fall.

Durham police say the body was found inside a vehicle at the Whitevale Cemetery just before 9 a.m. The identity of the deceased has been determined and next of kin were being contacted, police said Thursday after- noon. No name, age or gender information was released. While foul play is not suspected police said “normal investigative procedures” were followed and an autopsy is to be conducted. Police have classified the incident as a sudden death. The cemetery is located on Whitevale Road in northwest Pickering.

All content copyright Editorial OpinionsOpinionsOpinionsOpinions Help us write history of Durham landmark I have a proposition for you: let’s work together to document a piece of history. For years the great pumpkin-come-golf-ball stood as a land- mark in north Oshawa signalling to motorists they had arrived in the Motor City on their return from places north. Early Saturday morning the giant orb went up in flames. Most recently the site was the home of Oshawa Creek Family Golf cen- tre, 1569 Simcoe St. N. The property was long vacant, the hydro and gas shut off in anticipation of demolition. One could be forgiven for speculating the great pumpkin didn’t burst into flames on its own, but likely had a little help from human interlop- ers. It’s a sad ending for a property that holds fond childhood memories for many of us in Durham Region. How ironic that just a week ago I received an e-mail from Darryl Taylor of Oshawa seeking my help in finding historic photos of a speedway that once operated on the site. I was surprised to hear that Pleasure Valley Speedway operated there in 1952-53, definitely before my time. Glenford Taylor, Darryl’s grandfather, raced at the speedway in a car sponsored by Salter’s Body Shop. Darryl is hoping to add some photo history of the era to his family tree project. According to the website canadianracer.com, the speedway at Pleasure Valley Ranch was part of a 1952 circuit that included tracks at Port Bolster, Streetsville and Orillia. Do you have photos of the property from the time it was a speedway? Do you know the history of the giant orange pump- kin (or orange, I’m not entirely sure)? Or how it changed hands over the years? Share the knowledge you have, send me your pictures, and together we will write a feature on the history of this fascinating landmark.

In Clarington, the issue of adverse health effects remains the main topic of concern among opponents of a proposed wind farm in Port Granby, but there is a disconnect between what residents living in proximity to a wind turbine report regarding ill effects, and what scientific study has so far conclud- ed. Anecdotally, there are reports of common symptoms experienced by those living near wind turbines -- disrupted sleep, headaches and nausea, among others -- but a 2010 study by Ontario’s chief medical officer of health concluded the turbines simply do not make people sick. A July announcement by the federal gov- ernment that it would conduct a research study exploring the relationship between wind turbines and human health is an important next step as Clarington officials and residents continue working through the process. At issue is a plan by Leader Resources Ser- vices Corp., the company building five 150- metre wind turbines in Port Granby, while Zero Emissions People plans a 10-turbine farm in the area from Mosport Park to Ken- dalwood Park. Residents living in proximity to the proposed turbines -- with a 550-metre setback -- remain unconvinced that the plan will not negatively affect their health, property values and quality of life. In that context, the federal study announced in July can’t be completed soon enough to help determine the direction of the Clarington proposal. But the fact is that wind power must be developed as a viable, long-term energy source in Ontario, particularly as a means to reduce and eventually eliminate our collec- tive reliance on the burning of coal to meet energy needs. And despite arguments to the contrary, wind power will not, any time soon, replace nuclear energy and should, instead, be seen as a complement to exist- ing power sources. The depth of engagement among Claring- ton and Durham Region residents on this issue is encouraging. By remaining involved and gathering information, they can help shape the debate, weigh in on decisions and ensure that decision-makers are responsive and aware of community efforts. The jury may still be out on the health impacts, if any, of wind turbines, but change is coming, is in fact required, if Ontario is to further develop alternative energy indus- tries and build a cleaner energy future. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 1 2 , 2 0 1 2 6 AP I attended a wedding recently and I was reminded of how much and why I’ve always enjoyed going to these affairs. I love the ritual, I love the juxtaposition of solemnity and unbridled joy, I love the free food. I’m also a sucker for wed- ding speeches. Even bad ones. Any time spent, however awkwardly, conveying real emo- tion, real love and sincere gratitude is time well used in my books. It’s really why we’re here. And I can never seem to get enough of it. For all of those reasons I’ve always considered it a very real honour to receive an invitation to a wed- ding. This is an enormously big day for a couple of peo- ple and the fact they’ve asked me along is some- thing I don’t take lightly. My presence there, and the fact that I’ve put on a suit and tie, shined my shoes, shaved and combed my hair are all signs of my respect and reverence for what is taking place. All those things speak volumes about who I am and what is impor- tant to me. And yes, even what gen- eration I am from. At these nuptials, this last item became significantly apparent as I watched younger people arriving in the church dressed as though they were attending a barbecue or a hockey banquet. I know this has ‘old fart’ written all over it. Even as I type this, I can hear them preparing my bed at the seniors’ home, but I happen to think flip-flops at a wed- ding is a no-no. Likewise, would it kill you to throw a tie on and tuck your freaking shirt in? If you’re attending one of those, ‘I am the wind, you are the dirt’ woo-woo, hippy- dippy weddings on a beach or a com- mune somewhere, one of those odd- ball deals where the bride and groom are named after plants, then maybe you can be a little more lax in your dress code. Otherwise, step it up a bit. Here’s a general rule of thumb that may be helpful for indi- viduals who have difficulty with this concept: if the wait staff look nicer than you, chances are you’re under-dressed. Remember, you’re entering into a house of someone’s God, you’re not going clubbing. And again, I know I sound like Andy Rooney, or my dad, but what the heck is with all the skin? I found myself wondering if I was at St. Augustine’s Episcopal or the Brass Rail. Please understand, I’m not a prude. At any other time and place I’d probably be pretty happy to have a boo at your tattoo and your cleavage, or your tattooed cleavage for that matter, but not here, not today. Today is not about you. Today is all about that lovely woman up there in white and the handsome cat beside her. It’s their day. Yes, you look hot, but you’re ruining things for me. I like weddings. I like getting all emo- tional and weepy and thinking about the circle of life and all of that stuff. And I find that difficult to do when I’m sitting across the aisle from a pole dancer. Seriously, I can’t have been the only guy there who was struggling enormously with the irony of singing ‘Nearer my God to thee’ while wondering what the rest of your tattoo said and where it finished. --Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 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 • S e p t e m b e r 1 2 , 2 0 1 2 7 AP What not to wear at somebody’s wedding Poll > 18% 22% Cast your vote at durhamregion.com today!

What do you think? ...On giving salmon an assist upstream and sighting an albino squirrel... Facebook discussions in the past week focused on volunteers helping salmon get to their spawning grounds, and the spotting of an albi- no squirrel. Here’s what our Facebook friends had to say: Marv Whidden: From all the dead ones I’m seeing I wonder if it wouldn’t be better to take the eggs from the hens, milk the males and try to hatch fry. Reka Szekely: Marv, it’s part of the cycle of life, just the way nature designed it. : ) Marshelle Marz Jezegou: That’s my uncle Dave, saving the world one salmon at a time. Marven Whidden: I understand that Reka. From what I seen a lot of the salmon are not moving past the top of the dam once released. I would be happy to meet anyone there tomorrow and show them Marshelle Marz Jezegou: Above the dam, the newly released salm- on pool together, waiting for dark before crossing the shallow water.” Mr. Whidden please understand the facts. We all wish for easy fixes but if it wasn’t for volunteers there would be alot more dead fish at the base of the dam. What a sight in Ajax...

Doesn’t anyone walk to school? -- Les Brindley Really? Complain about kids getting taken to school - not everyone is close enough. There are distance rules in place that vary by age. The real complaint is the drivers’ disrespect for buses! Our son completed a “first time rider” program to learn about bus safety and the driver told us at least 2x a week vehicles go around him while his lights are flashing -- those lights flash when children are getting on/off and crossing the road. So a little impatience results in drivers breaking the law and risking the lives of children who can’t see around the bus when they cross.

Pickering firefighters battle three blazes in 24 hours Cooking fires cause havoc after holiday weekend PICKERING -- Pickering Fire Services is reminding resi- dents to practice fire safety in the kitchen after responding to three preventable cooking fires. On Sept. 3 and 4, firefighters responded to three cooking- related fires in the Pickering area, which caused $33,000 in damage. “With the hustle and bustle of back to school and everyday life, it’s very easy to become dis- tracted or called away from the kitchen,” said Steve Fowlds, fire prevention officer for Pickering Fire Services, noting cooking should never be left unattend- ed, especially when using oil at high temperatures. “Unattended cooking is the number-one cause of resi- dential fires, so people should always stay in the kitchen and look while they cook.” Other ways to stay safe in the kitchen include keeping a prop- er-fitting pot lid near the stove. If the pot catches fire do not move it but instead slide the lid over the pot and turn off the stove. Mr. Fowlds also recommends wearing tight-fitting cloth- ing, rolling up sleeves to avoid clothes combusting and keep- ing flammable items such as cooking utensils, paper tow- els and dishcloths a safe dis- tance from the stove. If clothes do catch fire, immediately stop what you are doing, drop to the ground and roll over to put out the flames. In all three of the cooking fire incidents, the homeowners were alerted by smoke alarms, one of which had been previ- ously installed by Pickering firefighters through the annual Home Safety Program initiative. Fire Chief Bill Douglas is reminding residents that most fires are preventable and it’s critical every home has working smoke alarms. “I strongly urge every resident to test their smoke alarms once a year, replace any units that are 10 years or older and practise their home fire escape plan.” Any residents who cannot install or test their smoke alarms due to age or physical limita- tions or can’t afford to purchase a smoke alarm or batteries can call Fire Prevention at 905-839- 9968 for assistance.

One of the key projects identified for completion within the Master Plan is the undertaking of the Amberlea Creek Erosion Control Environmental Assessment. On June 18, 2012,City of Pickering Council authorized To ronto and Region Conservation to assume a leadership role in partnership with the City of Pickering to undertake this work.The project will provide long-term protection against slope instability,and channel erosion that will reduce the risk to public safety, and prevent future property damage. The project is proceeding under the Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects (January 2002, as amended in September 2009).Two Public Information Centres (PIC’s ) will be held during the study to provide information and allow for public comment.Notification of the PIC’s will be advertised in the local newspaper and posted on the City’s website: pickering.ca.

But that’s exactly what will happen to fami- lies in the east end of the municipality if plans for two wind farms go ahead. These local projects are sparking debate. On one hand, there are residents concerned about a provincial system that pushes the proj- ects ahead without local input and what many worry is a lack of conclusive independent research into possible health impacts. “We’re fighting for the health of our family and we’re not going to give up,” said Heather Rutherford, a mother and school teacher now in a new role of activist and community orga- nizer as the founder of Clarington Wind Con- cerns. “We’re concerned about the health and wealth of our community. It’s the people in our community that make it what it is.” On the other side is the need for renewable green energy sources and a supplemental income for struggling farmers. “Guys, we want to turn on the lights. We want to have the best. To do that we have to invest in the future. Ontario is taking a big step,” said Charles Edey, president of Leader Resources Services Corp., the company building five tur- bines in Port Granby. So do wind turbines make people sick? Ontario wind turbine researcher Carmen Krogh, who did a survey with 130 respondents living near wind farms, believes they are mak- ing people ill. She said there were common reports of sleep disturbances, headaches, nau- sea, cognitive, cardiac and vision problems. “It’s like a red alert or a red flag. It shows something is going on. The symptoms are very compelling because they’re reported world- wide,” said Ms. Krogh. Wind farm companies highlight a recent Massachusetts study that found no causal link between wind turbines and health. In 2010, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health con- ducted a study of adverse health effects asso- ciated with wind turbines and said they don’t make people sick. “There’s annoyance and people get ill because they have annoyance. We do not have hundreds of people sick from wind turbines,” said Mr. Edey, who added the coal plants that wind energy is replacing were doing consider- ably more damage to human health. In July, the federal government announced a Health Canada research study that will explore the relationship between wind turbine noise and health effects reported by, and objective- ly measured in, people living near wind power developments. It’s a move welcomed by both sides of the debate. Wind farm companies think it will put to rest the worries about their business. Worried residents think it is the answer to their concerns that the 550-metre setbacks for wind turbines aren’t far enough from homes. “If our health was impacted and we had to leave our house -- which is our biggest asset -- would we be able to sell it?” said Ms. Ruther- ford. “The study needs to be done to inform the setbacks. We need evidence-based set- backs.” She said she is worried the Ontario govern- ment is moving ahead with the planned wind farms while the federal government studies the issue. “Once the turbines are up, they’re not com- ing down,” said Ms. Rutherford, who said she’s not anti-wind energy but is against industrial wind turbines in rural communities. “There’s been no move to call a moratorium.” For years, Clarington council has been ask- ing the Province to impose a moratorium on the approval of any wind farm applications until further studies can be done on the pos- sible health and economic impacts. Ontario’s Green Energy Act took control for these projects out of the hands of municipali- ties. The Province approved the new alterna- tive energy and had control over safety regula- tions. Changes this year, which give municipali- ties greater input on future projects, come too late to impact the two wind farms planned for rural Clarington. Clarington not only has concerns for its rural residents, but also for the Darlington nucle- ar plant, a major employer in the area. Mayor Adrian Foster said he disliked the idea of pro- vincial money funding a switch from good- paying nuclear jobs to largely unmanned, less reliable wind energy. “You’re spending billions of dollars on infra- structure that works 30 per cent of the time and displacing nuclear and hydro energy,” said Mayor Foster. Mr. Edey said Leader will use as much local labour as possible in the construction of the wind turbines. The new turbines are more effi- cient (once installed, approximately 45 per cent of the time the blades are turning at capacity) and therefore can produce more energy with fewer turbines, according to Leader. “They’re asking me how a model T runs and right now I’m driving a push button start (car). We’re not dealing with the same technology,” said Mr. Edey.

Zero Emissions People is planning to build a 10-wind turbine farm in the area from Mos- port Park to Kendalwood Park. Zero Emissions People was awarded a provincial feed-in tariff contract for the 20-megawatt project. The company held a public meeting at the Orono Town Hall in July 2010 to introduce resi- dents to the project. Clarington This Week tried for months -- beginning in June -- to contact the company for an interview. There was no response from ZEP to numerous phone calls and e-mails. Do we need the electricity? A common complaint against the Green Energy Act is that Ontario has an excess of energy. “We’re not using all the electricity we’re capable of producing,” said Durham MPP John O’Toole. “The problem with (renewable energy) is you need to back it up. If it’s not sunny or windy you still need electricity.” When Ontario has extra energy, it is sold to neighbouring provinces or the U.S. Ontario Energy Minister Christopher Bentley said the Province tries to get the best deal and although the energy is occasionally sold for less than the cost of production, most months Ontario makes money from the sale. Mr. Bentley said in 2003 there were numer- ous brownouts and demand stresses on the electrical system. The fact that Ontario now has enough power to get through the hottest three summer months in memory is a testament to the provincial planning in adding electrical gen- eration, according to the minister. “Planning for reliable long-term supply is done over a long-term basis,” said Mr. Bentley. “We are moving to get out of coal and will be out by 2014.” The recent recession is still badly impact- ing the industrial sector, which is part of the rea- son Ontario has excess power. In January, the Province is launching a new program that will give industry a big discount (two-thirds off) on energy if it’s extra power needed to add extra jobs. The discount will last as long as the jobs last, according to Mr. Bent- ley. That incentive could drive up electricity demand. Is the Feed-In Tariff program causing debt? There are also complaints that the Prov- ince is paying considerably more for green energy than Ontario consumers are paying on their hydro bill -- which has some worried that Ontario is racking up future debt for sustainable energy. Recommendations from the first review of Ontario’s Feed-in-Tariff Program include reduc- ing prices paid for solar projects by more than 20 per cent and wind projects by approximately 15 per cent. Mr. Bentley said you have to look at the true cost, which includes; • the fact that the Province doesn’t pay for the start-up or maintenance costs (as it does with nuclear); • that green energy takes coal plants off- line, which could save the government $4 billion in health-care costs; • and that the domestic content require- ments in the Green Energy Act are bringing manufacturing facilities and jobs to Ontario. Blowing concerns JasOn LiebregTs / MeTrOLand cLaRINGtON -- Local families and residents are concerned about the proposal for wind farms in east clarington.‘We’re fighting for the health of our family and we’re not going to give up. Heather Rutherford, Clarington Wind Concerns > From page 1 Ms. Armstrong’s offence, court heard, was providing emotional and financial assistance to Mr. White’s estranged wife, Patricia Gallagher. “I am still in shock,” a vis- ibly emotional Ms. Arm- strong told Ontario Court Justice Mary Teresa Dev- lin. The woman said she was aware of Mr. White’s arrest last February in the high- profile case, but didn’t learn the full extent of his plans until last Wednes- day, after Mr. White plead- ed guilty to break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence. “While I knew what Mr. White had been charged with, and like everyone else had seen the pho- tos splashed across the newspapers and Internet, I didn’t fully learn of their significance to me until last Wednesday,” Ms. Arm- strong said in her tearful victim impact statement. “Since then those same photos have been running through my mind con- stantly. They fill me with such horrors that I feel physically ill. “I don’t know if I will ever get the images out of my head,” she said. Ms. Armstrong’s state- ment was part of a remark- able sentencing hear- ing for Mr. White, 45, who has admitted he built the confinement room in the basement of an aban- doned farmhouse on the Pickering airport lands with the intention of kid- napping and confining the woman. In a rambling, 18-minute address to the court, Mr. White tearfully apologized for his actions, but insisted they were the result of his reaction to a messy divorce from Ms. Gallagher, with whom he has two children. “I lived on bitterness for a long time; it’s not a good way to live,” Mr. White said from the prisoner’s dock. “I’m not at all proud of my behaviour. “I thought I was doing this for my children.” Justice Devlin is to sen- tence Mr. White Oct. 4. Prosecutor Dave Slessor urged her Friday to jail Mr. White for two years less a day -- he’s been in custody since his arrest in Febru- ary -- arguing the dreadful intent of the plot warrants strong denunciation. Evidence gathered by police indicates Mr. White spent more than a year working on the room, which was heavily rein- forced and insulated, with double-paned windows and a three-inch door made of multiple planks of plywood that was locked from the outside by tire irons. The floor was tiled and a bench had been installed, court heard; chains hung from the ceiling. “It was built for a very sinister purpose,” Mr. Sles- sor said. “It was built to confine Ms. Armstrong.” Defence lawyer Paul Affleck argued Mr. White can’t be punished for a crime that didn’t occur. Although the existence of the room and Mr. White’s acknowledgement of its purpose are indisputable there’s no way of telling if the man would actually realize his plan, he said. “You can’t sentence him to what didn’t happen,” Mr. Affleck said in suggest- ing a range of seven to nine months. The bizarre confinement room was discovered by workers in the basement of the house, which was slated for demolition, in November of 2011. Security workers patrol- ling the area had written down the licence plate number of Mr. White’s Mercedes-Benz, which had been seen parked near the farmhouse on a couple of occasions. He was arrested Feb. 13, 2012, and confessed to having built the room. Mr. White refused to identify his intended target but further investigation revealed it was Ms. Arm- strong. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 1 2 , 2 0 1 2 11 P WANTED Homes With Asphalt Shingles in Need of Replacement Ontario Shake N’ Tile, Ontario’s most trusted metal roofing specialist, is looking for homes in your area that need a new roof and never want to roof again.

Tara HaTHerly thatherly@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Chabad of Durham Region is inviting residents to celebrate the upcoming Jewish New Year at the new Chabad Jewish Centre in Whitby. Free celebrations will be held at the cen- tre to honour Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur, which marks the end of the Jewish High Holidays. The celebrations will be the first held at the new Chabad Jewish Centre, 1121 Dundas St. E. “According to Jewish tradition, on the Jewish New Year, the doors of Heaven are open. God accepts prayers from everyone,” said Rabbi Tzali Borenstein. “The least we can do is open our doors as well to the entire community. This year we just finished fully renovating our new Chabad Jewish Centre location, com- pletely handicap accessible to ensure all can join.” Rosh Hashana services will be held Sept. 17 and 18 at 10 a.m. Yom Kippur services will be held Sept. 25 at 6:45 p.m. and Sept. 26 at 10 a.m., with a concluding prayer held Sept. 26 at 6 p.m. To reserve a seat, register online at www.jewishdurham.com or call Chabad Jew- ish Centre at 905-493-9007. Chabad of Durham Region is offering free services to make sure everyone interested in celebrating the Jewish High Holidays has a warm and inclusive place to do so. “The Chabad-Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righ- teous memory, insisted that Judaism is acces- sible to all Jews,” Rabbi Borenstein said. “Dur- ing the Jewish High Holidays, accessibility can translate into different factors for differ- ent people, such as a non-judgmental atmo- sphere, affordability of the services or the abil- ity for a beginner to follow along. Our goal is to lower the barriers of entry, and encourage each and every Jew to actively participate in these most holy and introspective days.” For more information about Rosh Hasha- nah and Yom Kippur, visit www.jewishdur- ham.com/newyear. Chabad of Durham Region was started in 2010 out of the Borensteins’ home. The group, which is funded solely by local donations, is intended to create a vibrant community for everyone interested in the Jewish faith. Chabad of Durham Region’s services are appropriate for everyone interested in Juda- ism. The group uses song, commentary and English-Hebrew prayer books to enable both beginning and advanced followers to enjoy and participate in services.

Don’t trust your wedding reception to just anyone. Steven Ernst, owner of Sight and Sound, and his team of professional emcees and D.J.s know how to create the style of party you want – so you, and all of your guests, can have a great time celebrating your special day. In the music business for over 34 years, Sight and Sound has professional DJs who arrive on time, play requests and, best of all, get your guests engaged in the fun. They are the industry leaders in Durham Region for a reason - they have consistently delivered exceptional services to brides and grooms and continue to build their business from referrals. Pre-planning is the key to a great event. With Sight and Sound’s new interactive website, couples can complete planning forms online and, with a special access code, brides and their guests can request the music they want to have at the party. “Couples are loving this feature,” explains Steve Ernst. “It’s easy to use, saves time, guests have input into music before the wedding date, and couples can sit down at home and do this “project” together getting the groom more involved.” If you prefer to meet in person, they meet with you several times to discover your musical tastes, the songs you have chosen for the formal dances and the diversity of your guests. Then they assign one of their professional fun DJs that best suits your wedding needs. A 50 year old DJ will not show up for a crowd of 22 year olds! And they o er much more than just the music for your wedding. Sight and Sound will take care of every facet of your after-party. From your grand entrance as man and wife, to exciting games that incorporate your loved ones, “It’s all part of the package we o er,” says Steve Ernst. “If you don’t have a Master of Ceremonies, we can take care of that. If you do have an MC then we’ll work together. Their state-of-the-art systems have access to the internet right on location so their library of song choices is now unlimited. And they have more special touches than you can imagine, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy the celebration. Looking for a spectacular light show at your wedding? No problem. Sight and Sound has special e ects lighting to spice up the dance oor and dry ice for the rst dance. Sight and Sound has everything you can dream of to celebrate in exceptional style. Did you know that with up lighting, you can completely change the look of your reception room? Imagine seeing your names and wedding date on the wall 10 feet high as you enter the room and transforming the wall colour to coordinate with the bridal party dresses or accent colours. The atmosphere created with this lighting, from cocktails through dancing, cannot be duplicated for the cost. With a professional party host and properly licensed music from every era, your party will surely be a hit. If you have considered having a friend or non-professional host your reception event, think again. It’s actually illegal to play unlicensed music at a public event like a wedding? “Having a friend with an iPod host your party can get you in all kinds of trouble,” explains Steve. “Halls are watching for this more now as it is a legal issue and the hall doesn’t want to lose their liquor license over it.” Steve Ernst has been the o cial Emcee for the Ajax Pickering Wedding Show for over 10 years with one of Durham’s most requested DJ Tyler, as the show’s music man. Watch for them at this year’s Bridal Show, where they will be providing the music for the fashion show and emceeing the event! Don’t miss this opportunity to meet these industry professionals and see what they can do. Your entertainment options are endless with Sight and Sound!

Walk down the aisle with con dence when you know you look your very best. Book your hairstylist and makeup artist early and be sure to try out your wedding day look long before the big event. Then you’ll be more relaxed and able to enjoy your special day in the spotlight. Put your best face forward. “There are many looks to choose from depending on your personality and the look you want to achieve,” says Lena Gregory, owner of MakeUp by Lena. “Brides can go for a retro-glam look with a thicker black liner and soft pinkish lips, or a classic look with some neutral colours. Some brides choose the smokey-eye look which is still in style.” Lena o ers lots of great advice on getting the right look for you on your wedding day. “One of the most important things to consider is the lasting power of your makeup,” she explains. “This is where the makeup artist can use tricks and products to keep the bridal party looking beautiful all day and all night. One tip to keep your lip product on longer is to put foundation or concealer on your lips rst and then your lip product on top. You can also outline and ll in your lips with a lip liner pencil and then a little gloss over top. It gives a beautiful look that last for hours.” Lena applies makeup to bring out the natural beauty of the bride and to draw attention to the bride’s best features. At MakeUp by Lena, every bride enjoys a consultation and full makeover months before the wedding, so she will know exactly what she will look like on her special day. “Do not have your eyebrows waxed or a facial the day before the wedding,” advises Lena. “It will only leave your face red and blotchy. Get lots of rest, drink water and take time for proper skin care. Not the easiest things for a busy bride to do, but I hope she can t them in.” Another key factor in your overall look for the special day is your hairstyle. Michael Di Tacchio, owner of Michael’s Hair Studio, and his team of style experts will be coi ng the fashion models at the Ajax Wedding Show. Stop by before the show to watch as the magic happens and get some ideas on how you want to look on your wedding day. “Soft waves have de nitely become very popular, whether hair is o to one side, partially up, all down or even a classic look with soft texture to give a modern touch to the bride,” explains Michael. “Of course everything starts with the dress and it’s important for the hairstylist to see the dress, to see what style the bride wants to achieve for the big day,” says Michael. “I advise all my bridal clients to bring pictures to see what they like or what they are thinking. It’s very helpful as well.” Every wedding is di erent, whether it be the size or how many people are involved in the bridal party, so we, at Michael’s, are consistently adjusting our packages to the bride’s needs. One thing is always for sure, at Michael’s Hair Studio, we take great pride in being part of that special day with creating beautiful hair styles.” Makeup for the Fall Wedding Fashion Show provided by MakeUp by Lena, www.makeupbylena.com 416.520.5260.

Bridal Desires and Tuxedo Royale have the latest colours and styles, together with the personalized service you need, to nd the perfect t! Be sure to see the latest trends from top designers at the 2012 Fall Wedding Show. Discover for yourself why so many couples choose their wedding attire at Bridal Desires and Tuxedo Royale. “This year top colour choices are those you’d see in peacock feathers like bold teals, purples, cobalt and royal blues. Other popular colours include corals, vibrant oranges, charcoal and midnight blues,” explains Joanna Carter, owner of Bridal Desires. “Some trends we are seeing this year in bridal gowns include lightweight organzas, soft tulling, buttersoft satins and lace. Ru es, owers and billowy skirts continue to be popular as are drop-waist styles, full ball gowns and trumpet lines. Sparkly or solid sashes, bands of crystal beadwork and sweetheart necklines are also a big hit. And this year we see brides wearing bold-coloured heels like fuchsias and reds with their white or ivory gowns!” For bridesmaids, cocktail length, at the knee or just above the knee for a modern look, is popular. Dresses adorned with owers, crystal broaches or focal point appliques for a glamorous look and sweetheart necklines, one shoulder, owing chi ons or satin pencil skirts are o the charts. “The secret to nding the perfect gown is to keep an open mind,” says Joanna. “Tell your bridal consultant about your vision, the venue and any style ideas you may have. Allow your consultant to choose dresses for you based on your body, vision and venue.” Joanna also suggests that brides bring only one or two people to help her shop for gowns. “Fewer people means less opinion and allows the bride to focus on her true rst impression of her in each gown.” Many brides ask, “How do I know when the dress is ‘the one’?” “You just know,” explains Joanna. “Not every bride cries but a con dent and content feeling gives the signal. If you can envision your day, your groom and family all focused on you in the gown, while your con dence radiates, that is it!” To coordinate the bridal party style, Tuxedo Royale lets you choose accessories from more than 180 colours, including the many exciting accessory collections of vibrant, muted and retro-inspired vests, ties and pocket squares. Whether you rent or purchase formal attire for the groom, you want to look your very best. That’s why Tuxedo Royale has trained professionals to help you choose the right look to make your day extra-special. They know that there’s more to being a groom than putting on a suit and showing up. There are many choices to be made. “There is a colour and style to impress every bride and her groom,” says Ivan Zichy, co-owner of Tuxedo Royale. “Our extensive colour choices, along with our impeccable service is what sets us apart,” Grey is a hot choice for men this year. The two-button Jean Yves Platinum Grey Savoy jacket is a natural choice for destination and warm weather weddings. The Perry Ellis Grey Madison with two buttons and a framed notch colour lends a distinctively rich look and the Jean Yves Ceremonia Suit has understated good looks and a fresh new style. Complete packages include jacket, pants, vest, or cummerbund, shirt, tie, pocket square and jewellery. If you book your attire at the wedding show, the groom receives a free rental and each member of the wedding party enjoys $35 o . With over 30 years of experience and their unparalleled service, excellent selection and attention to detail, Tuxedo Royale is Ontario’s favourite formalwear store.

Appearing as the co-fea- ture in the Full Throttle box- ing card on Saturday night at the Hershey Centre in Mis- sissauga, the Ajax boxer had his fight stopped at 2:24 of the third round when the corner of Ferenc Zold threw in the towel. It was a sign that their fighter had had enough, and a compliment to Cook in the manner in which he domi- nated the fight. Compliment aside, Cook was a little disappointed after that he didn’t get to fin- ish what he started, but at the same time, completely understanding of the ges- ture. “I wanted to finish him for everybody,” he said from outside the dressing room, just minutes after having his hand raised in victory. “But by looking at his face, I thought the ref should have stopped it. His eyes were pretty bad. “It was smart for his corner to do that. You don’t want your fighter to get hurt like that.” Cook, who trains at the Whitby-based Motor City Boxing Club, improved his professional record to 7-0- 0, including four knockouts. His trainer, Mike Guyett, was pleased with the perfor- mance. “I thought Brandon did well with everything,” he said. “I thought he was using his jab a little more than usual. “Brandon’s a banger, but I’m trying to teach him how to box a little bit more, add more finesse to his game. I thought he was poised and took his time, landed good combinations and when he saw the chance, took the guy out. That’s what a good fight- er does.” Zold, who took the fight on short notice, had a visibly softer body shape that the chiselled Cook. That didn’t go unnoticed when the ring introductions began. “As soon as I saw his stom- ach, I was like, ‘Oh man,’” said Cook, who came into the fight at 154 pounds, while Zold was 158. “It was a short notice fight for him. I guess he didn’t have much time. He did do pretty good for three rounds. He took a good shot.” Cook took control of the fight from the outset, land- ing his right hand at will to the head and body in both the first and second rounds, clearly the heavier punch- er of the two. In the second round, he upped his attack to the body. “That first round I threw a lot of jabs and was feeling him out a bit to see what he had, but he wasn’t throw- ing too much,” said Cook. “After the first round I start- ed throwing my uppercuts more. I could have worked the body a bit more, but the name of the game is to keep adjusting.” In the third round, Cook opened a cut over the left eye of Zold, and as the round progressed, the eye began to close. An uppercut final- ly sent Zold to the canvas, but he rose before being counted out. Before the fight resumed, his corner threw in the towel. The adrenaline rush of winning in front of count- less family and friends was something Cook was still revelling in after. “I love it,” he said. “I was so focused when I was coming out there. I felt great. Noth- ing was going to faze me. I just wanted to get in there and do my job. “I know how hard I trained. Training is the hard- est part. This is where I go in and have fun. This is what I live for. I never thought I’d be here. It’s a dream come true.” Cook expects to be on the next card in Mississauga on Dec. 1, but was hoping to be included in an upcom- ing show in New Brunswick if possible. Perfect through seven fights, thoughts of fighting for a Canadian title may be on the horizon. “There’s a lot to improve on,” he said of his future. “I’m seven and oh but I have to keep working hard. I didn’t think I’d ever be this good. If I keep going, who knows where I’ll be.” Guyett added that his fight- er still needs some work, but the potential is there. “We’re always working to become a better fighter all- around. It’s never going to be satisfying to us.” ron Pietroniro / Metroland M I S S I S S A U G A -- Ajax’s Brandon Cook landed a shot to the body of Ferenc Zold during their fight Saturday in Mississauga.

Simply put, it’s as impor- tant an element as any and the Pickering Panthers saw both the good and not so good side of things Sunday afternoon in a 5-4 loss to the Whitby Fury at Iroquois Park Sports Centre. The good was the fact Pickering managed a four- goal breakout with the man advantage, helping them come back from deficits of 3-0 and 4-2 to make a game of it with their Durham Region rivals. The bad, however, paved the road to a gut-wrenching loss in just its second game of the season. Tied 4-4 and on the power play in the final minute of regulation, the Panthers muffed a glorious oppor- tunity to win it and instead were left in shock after Whitby’s Taylor Best created a turnover at the Fury blue- line and broke in alone to beat Spencer Bacon for the shorthanded game-winner. “I’d like to say, you know, it happens, but I can’t. It’s a tough feeling right now,” Panthers coach Mike Galati said afterwards when asked about the loss and what the post-game message to his club was. “I want them to remember that feeling right now and make sure it doesn’t happen again.” As disappointing an end to the afternoon as it was for the Panthers, there were some positives for the club, which entered the game fresh off a 3-2 loss on home ice Friday night to the New- market Hurricanes. The most obvious being their effort on the power play, despite what hap- pened in the final minute. Up until that point in the game, Pickering’s work with the man advantage was what kept them alive after trailing 3-0 less than six minutes into the second. And all the finishing was done by Matthew Galati. The veteran forward got the comeback started with two goals less than a min- ute apart before the mid- way mark of the second and then added another pair early in the third after Whitby had restored a two- goal lead. Pickering finished the game scoring four times on seven power play opportu- nities. “Anytime you score goals on the power play, a lot of them are ugly, but they still count. Our power play was great tonight except for obviously the last 20 sec- onds. Four power play goals, I am happy with that.” The Panthers penalty kill was on point as well, hold- ing Whitby off the board all eight times they were test- ed. All in all, after a pair of one-goal losses to start the season, Galati doesn’t see his team as being far off from where they need to be to enjoy some success this season. “I don’t think we’re far off when you look at our lineup and we’re missing (Adam) Nanji, (Tanner) Bull and (Robert) Lepine, which probably could be our first line. One goal each way in both games, I think shows we were there. All three guys can score and if they are in the lineup, maybe they get one and that’s the difference,” he said. Lepine will return Friday for Pickering’s next game at home to the Stouffville Spirit, while Bull and Nanji are in line to return Sunday against Wellington. The Scoop After two games Matthew Galati shares the team lead in points with Andrew McCann, both with five ... McCann and Derek Shep- herd scored goals in Pickering’s loss to Newmarket on Friday ... Spencer Bacon took the loss in goal in both games ... Versus Newmarket the Panthers were outshot 15-2 in the first period and trailed 2-0. The shots were even the 14-14 the rest of the way as Pickering settled down and made a game of it ...
