On the night of July 16 gunfire broke out at a community barbecue in nearby Scarborough, leaving 23 people wounded and two innocent bystanders -- Joshua Yasay, 23, of Ajax, and 14-year-old Shyanne Charles of Toronto -- dead. Earlier that same day a 17-year-old Pickering boy was shot by police responding to reports of an armed robbery. In the aftermath the inevitable questions arose: What is the cause of such incidents? What can be done to prevent them? A caller to our newsroom offered a response: Talk to Pastor Audley Castro at the Apostolic Pentecostal Church of Pickering. While others talk, he’s doing something about the problem. Following is a profile of the man and his work.

They come and they are bro- ken. Sometimes they are angry. But they hear the message and they have a chance to think,” he said. “We are leaving the monster unchecked.” That “monster” is a depressing and lethal cycle of violence and revenge, propelled by gang culture. It is evident in gun violence and crime, events that shock and affect us all. Pastor Castro, 49, tackles these issues head on, both from his pulpit at the Apostolic Pen- tecostal Church of Pickering, and in his work with community members. The Jamaican- born Pastor Castro began his Pickering min- istry in a basement apartment in 1994 and has seen his congregation grow to number in the hundreds. He advances a message of hope and redemption, healing that begins with indi- viduals and spreads to the community at large. “I think deep down people know right from wrong,” he said during a recent interview in his office at the church on Oklahoma Drive. What gets in the way of people making the right decisions for themselves and their fam- ilies can often be as simple as skewed priori- ties, he said. Families can become dysfunctional when the struggle for survival usurps the need for nurturing. Youth can go astray when they become enthralled by the allure of gang life. It is the role of the church, Pastor Cas- tro insisted, to remind people of what real- ly matters, and to provide guidance. From the beginning his ministry has stressed pro- grams for young people, providing mentor- ing, assistance with studies and constant encouragement to assume a responsible role in society. The message is particularly important among boys and young men, said Rev. Cas- tro. “If we can nurture the young boys, they will make better choices,” he said. And he has seen the fruits of such endeav- ours. “They make wise decisions. They are com- pleting their education,” Pastor Castro said. “They are making a contribution to society.” The pastor ministers as well to those who may have eschewed the values he advanc- es. He has been called upon with frequency to conduct funerals for young men killed by gun violence -- most recently for 30-year- old Ricardo Vincent, who was gunned down June 22 in Scarborough -- and has seen how a direct, powerful message can find a recep- tive audience among those stricken by grief. “A defining moment in life, that’s what it is,” he said. “I have done funerals of so many young men. I’ve seen the parents and it breaks my heart,” Pastor Castro said. “The inhuman- ity we are experiencing today is because of the breakdown of the family. The coarsening of society. That’s the reason why guns and drugs and instant gratification and gangs become such a thrill. “It is bringing grief to us.” Pastor Castro encourages insight and for- giveness. He urges those listening to consid- er hope instead of hatred. He asks them to ask themselves: Is this the life I want to live? “There has to be a deep inner change that says, I can resolve conflict; I can forgive,” he said. “If you can heal the hate, you can make better decisions.” And they listen. People have anonymously dropped off guns at the church. Ammunition and drugs have been forwarded to Pastor Castro for proper disposal. Of course, these small measures do not address the totality of the issue, Pastor Castro admits. Some will continue to commit crimes and when they are caught, they deserve to be dealt with sternly by the justice system. But each act of contrition is indicative of at least one person taking the message to heart. “The power of one, in its right place, can be the catalyst to provide change,” he said. “People can change, and they are open to a new way of life. “That is extremely profound to me.” Pastor strives for peace with message of hope Ryan PfeiffeR / MetRoland PICKERING -- Pastor Audley Castro of the Apostolic Pentecostal Church of Pickering uses his ministry to steer young people away from lifestyles involving gangs and crime.‘‘If we can nurture the young boys, they will make better choices.’ Pastor Audley Castro Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 , 2 0 1 2 2 P New report says policy unnecessary, redundant DURHAM -- For the fourth time in five years, local union representatives are taking a shot at establishing a fair wage policy at the Region of Durham. This spring Garth Cochrane from Unit- ed Association Local 463 asked regional council’s works committee to consider a policy requiring contractors bidding on Region projects to guarantee certain wages, benefits and hours of work. Mr. Cochrane -- whose union local rep- resents about 600 plumbers and steam- fitters, welders and apprentices -- said a fair wage policy would ensure bidders are on the same level playing field and could save the Region money by reduc- ing liability and lowering insurance pre- miums. In a report released this week, Region staff says a fair wage policy is unneces- sary and would amount to “preferential treatment” for certain groups. Region staff said it polled 72 Ontario municipalities and found the majority do not have a fair wage policy in place. Those that do include Pickering, Oshawa, Clarington, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Sudbury and Thunder Bay. Average wages paid under the poli- cies in those municipalities range from $25.73 to $49.73 an hour. The report says a fair wage policy would create “administrative redundan- cy” because the Province already has regulations in place on wages, hours of work and working conditions. It also points out that the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce oppose fair wage policies on the basis that they limit the ability of small- and medium- sized organizations to bid on govern- ment contracts and may not provide the best value for taxpayers. The issue of a fair wage policy is expected to be on the table at regional council’s Oct. 18 joint committee meeting. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Advertisement Richard Price of MGI Financial Inc. celebrated his 35th Anniversary as a Financial Advisor serving clients in Ajax, Pickering and the GTA this past Saturday with an Open House.

The results of the lat- est tests by the Education Quality and Accountabil- ity Office were released Sept. 12, showing how grades 3, 6 and 9 students stack up against each other academically across the province. In the Durham Catholic District School Board, 70 per cent of Grade 3 stu- dents met or surpassed the provincial average in reading. In writing, it was 81 per cent and in math, it was 71 per cent. In the Durham District School Board, 66 per cent met the average in read- ing. In writing, 75 per cent met the average, and in math, 70 per cent. The provincial averages were 66 per cent in read- ing, 76 per cent in writing and 68 per cent in math. Catholic board chair- man Jim McCafferty said the board doesn’t like to compare schools because many circumstances fac- tor into the results, such as school location and special programs. “And it’s only that point in time,” he said. But the board does use the results to indi- cate which areas need improvement, he said. In Grade 6, 78 per cent of Catholic students in Durham met the provin- cial average for reading, 78 per cent met it for writ- ing and 61 per cent did so for math. In the public board, the average was 76 per cent in reading, 74 per cent in writing and 55 per cent in math. Fifty-eight per cent of students across the prov- ince met the provincial average for math, 74 per cent for writing and 75 per cent for reading. MetDurham’s public students did better than the Catholic students in Grade 9 math. In the Catholic board, 77 per cent of Grade 9 aca- demic students met the provincial average, as did 41 per cent of applied stu- dents. In the public board, 80 per cent of academic stu- dents met the average, and 44 per cent of applied students met the average. The Ontario average was 84 per cent for academic students and 41 per cent for those in the applied program. “We thank staff for their continuous dedication to supporting and improv- ing student achievement,” said public board chair- man Joe Allin in a press release. “That commitment is making a real difference for our students.” Results snapshot Top Grade 3 reading Public Earl A.

Local farmers continue to make a go of it through long hours of labour and love, doing their part to bring fresh produce, dairy and meat to grocery store shelves in the Greater Toronto Area. The pressures that Durham’s farm operations currently confront, exist- ing cheek-by-jowl with development and new residential subdivisions that seeming- ly sprout up from among the cornstalks, is changing the face of the traditional rural agricultural sector in the region. The good news is that many local farms are thriving. Some operations have adapted new technologies to make their operations more efficient and profitable. Many con- tinue the practice of handing the farming operation down through the generations, ensuring continuity of ownership and deep knowledge of farm practices. Many have expanded their efforts to provide a wider variety of products. But the statistics remain sobering, even as pressure continues to build in response to Durham’s expanding urban areas. Accord- ing to the Durham Region Agricultural Profile (2006 data), the number of farms in Durham Region declined by nearly one- third from 1981 to 2001 and a further 1.3 per cent between 2001 and 2006. Total farm- land decreased by 11.6 per cent in the same period (2001-2006), and by another 1.1 per cent between 2001 and 2006. Durham Region communities with the highest concentration of farming are Brock, Scugog, Uxbridge and Clarington. The latter three, particularly, are facing ongoing pres- sure for residential development, requiring a balanced approach to preserve remaining prime lands for agricultural purposes. Urban residents, through ‘locally grown’ community efforts and awareness cam- paigns, are starting to connect the threads between farmer’s field and grocery aisles. The growth in popularity of local farmers’ markets symbolize that burgeoning aware- ness. Durham consumers get fresh produce and farm products, while local farmers have an opportunity to showcase their farm-fresh products here at home, further raise aware- ness and open up new revenue streams for their operations. Going forward, government will have to create the policies and conditions that pro- mote and preserve agriculture and agri- cultural lands. And Durham has a unique opportunity in the meantime to work towards striking a balance between urban growth and the preservation of the bounti- ful lands that have supported farming oper- ations here at home for generations. I’ve written before about the need for newspapers to change. It’s a constant in our industry. The Internet has turned the world of journalism upside down and inside out. The online world has brought bloggers to the forefront of news and now peo- ple on Twitter are delivering the news faster than ever before. Want to know how NFL football players reacted to the substitute refs? Just follow them on Twitter. How are NHL players handling the lockout? Twitter gives you the answer. But Twitter and blogs are a slightly different beast when it comes to community news. People still rely on the local newspaper and our website for news about their towns, their neighbours and their local sports teams. But that doesn’t mean we stay stagnant. A few weeks ago a number of our reporters, photographers and editors attended a two-day train- ing session on newspapers, both in hard print and online. Now every week I get columns sent to me with people prognosticating about the future of newspapers. They are about 50-50. Some people believe papers will be dead in 15 to 20 years with people get- ting their news solely online. Others say newspapers will always be a trusted source for local news and will rebound. Just last week at a Clarington Board of Trade dinner some busi- ness owners were talking about how they don’t advertise online because the ads disappear too quickly but when you pick up a newspaper, that ad is in the reader’s hands. I think there is a balance between the two and that’s what the training session was about. There are some great social media apps now available to help reporters get connected quickly to sources when breaking news happens. But once you make that connection, you still have to verify your information. You’ll see some changes at the paper over the next few months as we put some of what we learned into action. Right away you’ll notice an effort to let our readers know on our website what stories we will be following that day. Last week, it was the ethanol public meeting. On Monday morning the website had a small story noting Bob Rae was in Clarington and on Tues- day we informed you later that day that Durham Region would be discussing its tax hike for the upcoming year. We had reporters at all those events and had stories for the papers and our website. Newspapers and the Internet can work together; the trick is to find the right balance. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston has been learning about Tumblr and Storify and trying to keep ahead of the social media trends. 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 • Oc t o b e r 3 , 2 0 1 2 6 AP Like a mould, virus or some form of unwanted and irritat- ing malware, the ubiquitous Fifty Shades of Grey has made its way into my home. Before anyone conjures up images of me in leather chaps with a paddle in my hand, I want to make it abundantly clear that the book was given to us as a gag. An apt description, actually, as its presence has done nothing but make all of us want to regurgitate. Let me also be clear that we have by no means made it feel at all welcome. It has not been invited to join our other book friends on the sacred bookshelves. Indeed, were I to place it alongside such cherished and venerat- ed titles as To Kill a Mockingbird, War and Peace or even The Complete Peanuts Collection, I am certain one or all of them would find a way to push it off the shelf and out of their midst. To use the manuscript’s own vernacular, ‘Holy sh*t does this book stink’. It’s appropriate, therefore, that it quickly found its way to the bathroom, where it sits, within arm’s reach of the throne. It is, in fact, the quintessential toi- let read. The prose in this book is so com- pletely and utterly bad that it nice- ly serves as both a laxative and, should one force oneself to strug- gle through more than a para- graph, a powerful emetic. More than once, upon hearing the sounds of retching coming from the bath- room, have I rapped with concern on the door. “Everything OK in there, son? Are you ill?” “Nope. All good. Just finishing chapter three.” You may ask, if we find it so repug- nant, why we continue to read the hated thing? A good question and one I have put to myself many times. Part of it, I believe, is that the book is so monstrously egre- gious it is like a terrific car wreck and we cannot stop our- selves from stealing repeated glances at it. And I should point out that it never fails to satisfy. Peel back the bandage to any page on this festering wound and you will be treated to new and bewildering ways to man- gle the English language. Syntax abuse and dialogue so stilt- ed it makes me wonder if E.L. James is not Snooki’s nom de plume. But that is, embarrassingly, only part of the explana- tion. The rest of its attraction is, I am ashamed to say, a gender issue. This is a house largely filled with men. Kath- ryn, as far as I know, has yet to open the book. Either that or she is a very quiet vomiter. But the boys and I have been picking at it like a scab. We’ve even earmarked particularly bad passages for one another to snicker at. The reason, of course, is as old as time itself. We are drawn to this book for the same reason that Neanderthal males were lured to the cave drawings of Grog Ste- venson, the first pornographer to walk upright. Hordes of knuckle-dragging early men flocked to gawp at his crude and lascivious stick figures that had nothing to do with hunting mast- odon. There’s a reason they called them Homo Erectus. According to accepted lore, men think about sex every seven seconds and read at about 250 words per minute. Crank out a book that has a sex act every 10 words and you’ve got what amounts to a paperback salt lick. Not to mention a licence to print money. I have to doff my cap to her.

Ok, so I’m driving along, when I see road signs to “merge” up ahead (Thickson Rd. near Champlain -- major road work being done right now). I signal and merge early enough to get into the one lane of cars patiently waiting to move along. Then, along comes these “kings of the road”, intentionally zipping by everyone else, just to jockey into the front position and forcefully squeeze in at the last second, causing that lovely bottleneck effect drivers love so much! Would these same people intentionally try to cut in front of you in a grocery store line-up? Don’t think so! So what compels some people to be intentionally rude when in a car? When you see the “merge” sign, signal and get over early instead. Oh, and when someone let’s you in, give the other driver the courteous thank you ‘wave’. Driver politeness can be contagious. -- Christine Frechette 1. Black pepper 2. Cinnamon 3. Cumin 4. Coriander 5. Cloves 6. Cayenne pepper 7. Turmeric 8. Paprika 9. Mustard seed 10.

In the wake of the tragic dis- covery, grief counsellors were at Pickering High School this week following to help students cope with the death of Grade 12 student Mitchell Somerville. Mitchell, 17, had been missing for just over a week when his body was found in Frenchman’s Bay Sunday afternoon. PHS principal Phil Matsushita said, “We are all very saddened to hear the news of this tragedy. We’ll come together.” He noted staff are also trying to digest the news, saying, “Many of the teachers knew him closely.” Mr. Matsushita was reluctant to talk, pointing out official confirma- tion hasn’t come out that the body is Mitchell. An autopsy is being held to con- firm identity, as well as a cause of death. Mitchell’s family confirmed via a Facebook post that his body was found in Frenchman’s Bay Sunday. “Rest in peace Mitch! My family and I would like to thank everyone for all your efforts and supports. Unfortunately at 1 p.m. this after- noon, Mitch was found in French- man’s Bay,” said the Facebook post. “Indication is it appears to be Mitchell Somerville,” said Durham Regional Police Inspector Bruce Kovack in a hastily arranged news conference at the Pickering police station late Sunday afternoon. Police don’t suspect foul play. A police spokesperson said Tues- day afternoon investigators are still awaiting results of an autopsy, per- formed at the Centre of Forensic Sciences. Mitchell was last seen on Sept. 21 at a McDonald’s restaurant on Taunton Road in Whitby, but his backpack was found a day later in Pickering by a man walking his dog in Bruce Hanscombe Park, near Frenchman’s Bay. “We don’t know the reasons this happened,” said Mitchell’s father, Joseph Somerville, between sobs, from the family’s home in Ajax. “We don’t know what happened to him.” Mitchell had recently joined the 17-and-under Ontario Blue Jays baseball team. He joined the team as an out- fielder, after spending years on teams in Etobicoke and North York. All summer, he’d been going to the gym five days a week, training with his older brother in preparation for his new team. “His big-time dream ... was to take his shot,” said Mr. Somerville, whose family started a Facebook page after Mitchell went missing, which got thousands of views. “I feel this is like the worst tragedy you can imagine ... he’s only scratching the surface of who he’s going to be, at 17.” Most of Mitchell’s time was spent on baseball, Mr. Somerville said, adding that he also played for his high school team. “This was totally out of charac- ter, whatever’s happened here,” Mr. Somerville said. “Why was he down in that park? There’s a whole lot of something that doesn’t make sense.” He said he doesn’t consider sui- cide a possibility. “He’s too happy and has too much going on,” Mr. Somerville said. Mr. Matsushita said a book of condolences will be made avail- able for students and staff to sign. A poster set up in the grieving room included a message from Cam Morrison. “Mitch. It isn’t easy to try to come to grips with the fact that you are gone, but I hope one day I will see you again when I pass too. You will be so greatly missed buddy. For- ever in the hearts of everyone at Pickering High School. Much love.” Another read: “Mitch, you will be missed. Our entire family will be in your thoughts. U are now in a peaceful place. Lina Langiano, Mario Lang- iano.” The grieving room with counsel- lors will be open for the week, Mr. Matsushita said. -- with files from Jennifer Walker and Torstar > Jason liebreGts / Metroland PICKERING -- Police and the coroner removed a body found in Frenchman’s Bay from a police boat Sept. 30. 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 • Oc t o b e r 3 , 2 0 1 2 9 P Direct Access 905.420.4660 General Enquiries 905.420.2222 Service Disruption 1.866.278.9993 Experience the new pickering.ca Thanksgiving Holiday Hoursof Operation Civic Complex (City Hall)905.420.2222 October8 Closed Recreation Complex,Pool &Arena 905.683.6582 October8 Closed Dunbarton Pool 905.831.1260 October7&8 Closed PickeringMuseum Village 905.683.8401 October8 Closed Pickering Public Libraries 905.831.6265 October7&8 Closed T. 905.683.7575 (24 Hour Line) Toll Free 1.877.420.4666 TTY 905.420.1739 customercare@pickering.ca pickering.ca Alternate versions available upon request, call 905.683.7575 AMessage From Fire Services Pickering Fire Services reminds you this Thanksgiving weekend,cooking is the number one cause of residential fires in Ontario.Cooking left unattended is the most common type of fire in Pickering.Always stay in the kitchen while you are cooking –especially if using oil or high temperatures.

Part one looks at the effects of growth on agricultural opera- tions and part two focuses on options for pre- serving farmland.The wheels of commerce are turn- ing as trucks laden with goods trundle by on Hwy. 401, and power is being produced for area homes at OPG’s nearby Darling- ton power plant, but the dairy cows of Almet Farms remain unfazed as they munch on hay just down the road. Currently run by Ron and Brenda Metcalf, Almet was started by Ron’s grandfather in 1921. Today, the Metcalfs raise 19,700 white and brown hens, milk 50 Holsteins and grow more than 1,000 acres of crops, including white beans, corn, wheat, hay and soybeans on their Bowmanville farm. Having grown up there, Mr. Metcalf has seen the surrounding community change drastically. “Traffic on Baseline Road now is busier than the 401 was when I was a kid,” he said. “It’s really difficult in the area we’re in to continue to farm,” Ms. Metcalf explained, not- ing they can see the lights of the nearby Wal- mart from their barn. “It’s hard but what can you do, with what we have here it’s difficult to move. It’s not like a storefront you can just pack up and put some- where else.” Driving by Almet Farms you wouldn’t guess that the family is busily packing nearly 20,000 eggs every other day, and shipping them out to Mississauga’s Burnbrae Farms for distribu- tion to grocery stores, and collecting about 3,000 litres of milk every two days, distributed by Kawartha Dairy and Natrel. For the crew of four, including the Metcalf’s son-in-law and a hired hand, it’s more than a full-time job. “We live, work and play on the farm, it’s not a job, it’s our life. We eat our eggs and drink milk right from the tank,” Ms. Metcalf said. “This is our livelihood, we make sure every- thing going off the farm is the absolute best quality we can produce.” But the hours can be trying. “If someone could invent a cow who only gives milk five days a week so we get week- ends off that would be great,” Ms. Metcalf said. “This is a 24/7, 365 days a year job. But it’s a great way to raise a family.” Ms. Metcalf credits their farming lifestyle for instilling a strong work ethic in her children. All four of her children, and six grandchil- dren, frequently pitch in on the farm, and the plan is that the farm will pass to one of them someday. “You can keep your kids with you on a farm, that’s not the case for many jobs,” Ms. Metcalf explained, pointing to a tricycle tucked away in the corner of the chicken barn, awaiting the return of her grandson. The Metcalfs are not the only farmers feel- ing the pressure of urban sprawl in Durham Region. “Some people in the south feel they’re being displaced, some are moving up north because it’s their only option; they can’t buy the farm beside them because some guy’s already got houses on it,” said Warren Jibb, president of the Durham Region Federation of Agriculture and owner of Shady Way Farms in Sunderland, which has been in operation since 1945. “It has more of an impact in areas closer to towns and cities,” he explained, noting Sun- derland and other northern Durham towns have thriving agricultural communities. “There are still farmers like ourselves who are growing and taking people on.” Farmers are also under pressure to produce more with less to meet the growing market locally and across the country. “Today one farmer feeds more than 100 people, 100 years ago one farmer would feed 10 people,” Ms. Metcalf explained. “Everyone was self-sufficient 100 years ago, they had a cow in the backyard, a couple chickens and a garden. Now very few people can make that claim so we have to be more efficient to meet the demand.” The Region is hoping to help stop loss of farmland through support and public educa- tion. “Urban centres are growing and there’s a lot of cultural changes happening,” said Nancy Rutherford, manager of rural and economic affairs for the region. “It’s important children are made aware how their food is produced, food doesn’t just magically appear in stores.” That disconnect is something that continu- ally inspires awe at Almet Farms. “A lot of education I do is a real eye-open- er,” said Ms. Metcalf, who hosts school tours as part of Durham’s Farm Connections pro- gram and volunteers at information booths at events such as the CNE. “It makes you realize people really don’t know about farming. There’s a lot of misin- formation that comes through. People think because we have biosecurity or ‘do not enter’ signs that we’re hiding something, but it’s just for the well-being of our animals.” The protection of farmland is key to ensur- ing the continued security of food resources in Canada, maximizing economic opportuni- ties, and making sure the sector continues to grow. “Farmers are becoming an endangered species,” Ms. Metcalf said. “We can’t afford to lose any more farm land. We’ll become a third world country, we won’t be able to feed our- selves. I think people don’t realize that with all the food that’s on grocery store shelves.” Page 6 - Today’s editorial Watch the video story @ durhamregion.com Farming changes as Durham grows Ryan PfeiffeR / MeTRolanD cLaRINGtON -- Brenda and Ron Metcalf at their farm, almet Farms Ltd. Ryan PfeiffeR / MeTRolanD cLaRINGtON -- Brenda Metcalf, owner of almet Farms Ltd., packed eggs at the farm Sept. 18. fasT facTs Agricultural economics A Durham Region Agricultural Profile, based on 2006 data, found that Durham generated about $240 million in gross farm receipts in 2006, pro- duced on a farmland area of 326,702 acres, result- ing in an average of $733 per acre. These values put Durham at 18 out of the 48 counties and regions in Ontario for average gross farm receipts, 17 in total receipts and 31 in ranking of geographic size. • Farm types include dairy, cattle, grains and oil- seeds, field crops, fruit, vegetable and more. • Dairy is the biggest money maker in Durham, accounting for 21.3 per cent of all gross farm receipts, followed by nursery products and sod and other small grains, which both account for just over 10 per cent each. • The majority of Durham’s agricultural land is contained in the municipalities of Brock, Scugog, Uxbridge and Clarington. • The number of farms in Durham declined by 31.5 per cent from 1981 to 2001, and a further 1.3 per cent from 2001 to 2006, with Clarington experienc- ing the largest decline. • Total farmland area in Durham declined by 43,325 acres, or 11.6 per cent, between 1981 and 2001, and a further 3,584 acres, or 1.1 per cent up to 2006. Again, Clarington experienced the steep- est loss, while Scugog, Whitby and Uxbridge saw increases.

DINING OUT ADVERTISING FEATURE In Ajax & Pickering Trying to put into words how you feel about a family business that has been a part of most of your life should be hard. How much can you say without sounding corny, gimmicky or overly sentimental? Well here it goes. Massey’s has been around in one form or another since the mid or mod 60’s (depending on how you choose to remember those times) when my father and uncle came to “downtown” Bay Ridges, Pickering. They bucked the odds, took a gamble on a community of roughly 2,000 and sold $74 worth of food and beverages their first day, a resounding success!! We proudly serve long time favourites such as a great Steak on a Kaiser and a killer Julienne Salad. More recent to our menu is a delicious and very popular scratch made Roasted Red Pepper Hummus. And then there’s the innovation largely present in our specials such as slow cooked, dry rubbed Pulled Pork Tacos with house made Orange-Chipotle Salsa, grilled red onion and charred pineapple. I am proud to say that we remain true to our initial principles. Unlike most of our competitors, Massey’s still “cooks”. We trim and portion our meats, we hand slice and chop our vegetables for everything from our scratch made daily soups to a tasty Mediterranean Salad. As a customer commented to me recently, “you can still taste the human touch in the food your restaurant serves”. That human touch is nowhere more evident than in the newest expansion of our business called Coco Cake Co. operated by my wife Donna and my daughter Tianna, they produce artisan quality cakes, cupcakes and cookies with the highest attention paid to taste and detail. Their products include stock and custom orders that are always baked from scratch, never using preservatives, on site under the same roof as Massey’s. As we approach our fifth decade in fabulous “Downtown” Bay Ridges my wife and daughter in the bakery, my father Angelo still active on a daily basis, my son Vangel a third generation chef, my youngest Chris who’s a waiter and bartender and a strong core of valued employees, it seems we may be able to continue to nurture that $74 seed money for a time to come. Here’s hoping I didn’t come across as sounding too corny, gimmicky or overly sentimental. Thanks for reading and thanks to our loyal cliental that keeps us cooking. Don Argiro.

By: ANKE ZIMMERMANN Naturopathic medicine can be helpful to children with ADD/ADHD and other behavioural and lea rning disorders. One of the simplest things yo u can do is to change t he lighting in you r home and in your son ’s schoo l to full sp ectrum lighting. Full spectrum light ing is a more natural light whic h includes the full spectrum o f light frequencies . In several research studies school children exposed to full sp e c t rum lighting in the schools showed b e t t e r concentration, reduced hyperactivit y, better reading abilities an d test results, a s well as faster gro w t h , f e w e r a b s ences dues to illnes s and 1/3 fewer tooth c a v ities. Parents could lobby the scho ols to have the standa rd fluorescent lighting replace d by full s pectrum lighting, and parents can re place their lighting a t home.

Ho w to Maximize Your Backyar d Enjoymen tBy: RONI CARLI Recent studies indicate tha t an increasing number of families are spending more time at home, and as a result, are maximizing their backyard, transforming it into a cozy oasis that can be enjoye d y e a r-roun d. One component is the addition of a ‘hot tub spa’‚ a catchall phrase covering any one of a number of jetted, heated, water- filled tubs. From the ancient Rom a n s ’ healing baths to restorative hot springs, the curative powers of water -- especially heated water -- have been known and prescribed for centuries. Despite this fact, the serious benefits of warm water therapy have only recently been addressed in the design an d manufacturing of hot tubs . February is a great month to explore more of the benefits of hot tub spas and why it would complement your own personal oasis. 130 Mulock Drive Newmarket • www.surfside.on.ca 905-895-1755 Pool s & S pas NEW PIC By: DEANNA WINGER Supple m enta l Educatio n Who’s in charge?

By: ANKE ZIMMERMANN Naturopathic medicine can be helpful to children with ADD/ADHD and other behavioural and learning disorders. One of the simplest things you can do is to change the lighting in your home and in your son’s school to full spectrum lighting. Full spectrum lighting is a more natural light which includes the full spectrum of light frequencies. In several research studies school children exposed to full spectrum lighting in the schools showed better concentration, reduced hyperactivity, better reading abilities and test results, as well as faster growth, fewer absences dues to illness and 1/3 fewer tooth cavities. Parents could lobby the schools to have the standard fluorescent lighting replaced by full spectrum lighting, and parents can replace their lighting at home.

How to Maximize Your Backyard Enjoyment By: RONI CARLI Recent studies indicate that an increasing number of families are spending more time at home, and as a result, are maximizing their backyard, transforming it into a cozy oasis that can be enjoyed year-round. One component is the addition of a ‘hot tub spa’‚ a catchall phrase covering any one of a number of jetted, heated, water- filled tubs. From the ancient Romans’ healing baths to restorative hot springs, the curative powers of water -- especially heated water -- have been known and prescribed for centuries. Despite this fact, the serious benefits of warm water therapy have only recently been addressed in the design and manufacturing of hot tubs. February is a great month to explore more of the benefits of hot tub spas and why it would complement your own personal oasis. 130 Mulock Drive Newmarket • www.surfside.on.ca 905-895-1755 Pool s & S pas NEW PIC By: DEANNA WINGER Supple menta l Educatio n Who’s in charge?

Specifically, consider these suggestions: First,don’t overuse credit cards.While it might not be a bad idea to have a single credit card for use of emergencies, it’s very easy to over-use the “plastic” and rack up big debts. Next,shop around for the financial institution that can provide you with the best deals on chequing and savings accounts and on loans. Also, never stop looking for financial aid. Universities offer some scholarships based on post-secondary academic achievement or real- world experience-both of which you may have accumulated since you left high school. Finally, try to be a saver, rather than a spender.Th at’s a lesson that can last a lifetime.

As far as personal contents are concerned, most home insurance policies include coverage for your student’s contents and also their liability. Every carrier handles this slightly differently; the good ones have coverage and pricing structures that address this circumstance.

PAUL TAALMAN Doing no advertising can be more harmful to your business than doing occasional ads but the most expensive ads are ones that don’t work no matter what media you use! The key to effective advertising is to create ads that; make an offer, price the offer, create some urgency, ask for the sale and have a theme. People don’t respond to ads that don’t fulfill a need or want. And making an “offer” doesn’t necessarily mean having to discount your product or service either. A “value” or “deal” is a perception.

A&Q Advertising 905-683-5110 Ext. 242 ptaalman@durhamregion.com A&Q Financial Advice Te rm insurance is life insurance that provides coverage for a specified period of time. If you die during this period, the benefit is paid out in a lump sum. It’s usually issued for 10 years or more. If you choose not to renew your policy, your coverage will expire, with no return of premium. It can be a cost effective way to secure a business loan or mortgage. Also, if you die, it may replace your income or cover last expenses, like funeral costs and taxes owed. Everyone should have some amount of life insurance to make sure loved ones are taken care of, cover debt or mortgage expenses, or enhance current coverage.

This started in 2011 and as they have found so many companies NOT in compliance with the OH&S Act, they continue to conduct surprise visits across Ontario.

After their five-year reign as cham- pions of the Notre Dame/News Adver- tiser Basketball Classic came to an end last year following a 42-36 setback in the championship game to St. Christo- pher of Sarnia, the hosts were eager to start another run. They managed to do that this week- end, but not without some major resistance from their nemesis from Pickering High School. The two LOSSA powerhouses advanced to Saturday afternoon’s championship final, with Notre Dame coming out ahead in the end 44-40. “I thought this tournament was a great win for us and we played two tough teams to win it,” said Notre Dame head coach Rose Booker in an e-mail. “I was particularly pleased with our game against Pope (in the semifinals). We ran the floor well and I thought we did an excellent job work- ing our inside game as well as shooting from the perimeter. We played a high pressure style defence and this along with our press I feel contributed to our success. “Our win against Pickering was also an exciting game. Our two schools have a history together and both teams get up whenever we meet in a final. This game may be a preview of the LOSSA AAAA finals if both teams can continue their winning ways.” After opening with a victory over J. Clarke Richardson, Notre Dame reached the finals with a convinc- ing 55-37 win over Pope John Paul of Toronto. At the same time, Pickering were also making their way through the field, posting a victory over Father Leo Aus- tin in the opener on Friday, then get- ting past Eastern Commerce 69-51 to get to the final. In Saturday afternoon’s final, Bri- anna Thomas led Notre Dame to the four-point victory by scoring 26 points, while Lorraine Enabulele had 10. For Pickering, Rochelle Reece led the way with 12, and Cheylane Bailey had eight. Notre Dame actually swept both championship games. The Lady Cou- gar juniors tested their game at the senior level, advancing to the conso- lation championship game where they beat Dunbarton 52-42 in overtime. Dunbarton forced the extra time after tying the game in the final seconds of regulation time. “It was an exciting game, and I thought our juniors, under the direc- tion of head coach Dawn Gonzalez, played with a lot of poise and compo- sure when it came down to the wire in overtime,” said Booker. Kyiann Grimaldo, a Grade 9 student, went 4-for-4 from the free throw line in overtime and scored 14 points all told for Notre Dame in the victory. Dunbar- ton’s Chanel Ramcharran replied with 21 to lead her team. In the third place game, Pope John Paul beat Eastern Commerce 59-47. >Notre Dame back on top RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND AJAX -- Notre Dame Lady Cougars’ Kiyann Grimaldo dribbled the ball up the court against the Pope John Paul Panthers during basketball action at the Notre Dame/News Advertiser senior girls’ basketball tournament at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School. Grimaldo, a member of the Notre Dame juniors, helped her team win the consolation championship, while the senior team from the school won the tournament, beating Pickering in the final. Hockey Watch BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Looking for a weekend sweep, the Durham West Junior Lightning missed out by the slimmest of margins. The Provincial Women’s Hockey League team started off on the right track with a 5-2 win in Kingston on Friday, but were derailed 2-1 by London on Sunday afternoon on home ice at the Ajax Community Centre. The loss on Sunday was disheartening, con- sidering that five-on-five, the Lightning were the better team. But London was opportunis- tic, scoring twice on the power play on five chances to earn the two points. “We expected to sweep both,” said head coach Wayne McDonald. “We played well enough to win both games but London is a good team so I don’t want to take anything away from them. “Our penalty kill didn’t play as well as it needs to play. We’re working on some things and it was obvious that London is going to have one of the better power plays. “We have to stay out of the penalty box. We had five penalties to their two and that hurts.” After a scoreless first period, London opened the scoring in the second on the power play, but Laura Horwood tied it less than five min- utes later. The winner by London came on the power play with 7:19 to go in the game. Friday’s game in Kingston was totally dom- inated by the Lightning, who fired 42 shots on goal while allowing just 14 on goaltender Jackie Rochefort. Carly Marchment scored the first of her two on the night in the first period, as the Lightning led 1-0 after the first period and 5-1 through two. Taylor Edwards, Lindsay Johnston and Kennedy Marchment also scored for the Lightning, while SaraJane Pratt, Dakota Waites, Stephanie Cooper and Megan Quinn had two assists each. The penalty kill units for the Lightning were sharp on Friday, as Kingston failed to score on eight chances. The two league games were sandwiched around an exhibition game in Waterloo on Saturday, as the Lightning posted a 3-0 vic- tory over the University of Waterloo Warriors. The game gave the team some university exposure, as they toured the campus while on site. The entire league shuts down this weekend to allow players in the Team Ontario program to attend a training camp. For the Lightning, that will keep Horwood and netminder Kassi- dy Sauve on skates. The duo will be placed on one of two teams that will represent Ontario at the 2012 National Women’s U18 Cham- pionships from Nov. 7-11 in Dawson Creek, British Columbia. The following weekend, Oct. 12-14, the Lightning will be playing in the Canada Cup against U.S. competition in a series of friend- lies. They don’t return to league play until Tuesday, Oct. 16 when they host Leaside. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Hosts prevail 44-40 over Pickering in championship game Junior Lightning just miss sweepNe w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 , 2 0 1 2 14 AP du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Save U p T o 9 0 % !

It took them a little extra time to earn it, coming in overtime, but Andrew McCann’s marker 3:27 into the extra frame gave the Panthers a 3-2 victory over the North Divi- sion leading Newmarket Hurricanes at the Pickering Recreation Complex. “For the first time we bought in and played a full 60-plus minutes,” said GM/ head coach Mike Galati. “I think they real- ly feel now that we’re a good team. It’s not the same old story here. I think they finally believe it.” Dylan Hutton staked the Panthers to a 1-0 lead in the first, but Newmarket had the only two goals of the second to take the lead through 40 minutes. Robert Lep- ine tied things early in the third, setting the stage for McCann’s heroics in overtime. The Panthers faced another daunting task on Sunday with a trip to Kingston to face the first-place team in the East Division. Penal- ties hurt the Panthers, as Kingston convert- ed on three of eight chances with the man advantage to earn a 4-2 victory. “Kingston, man for man, I think, is the best team in the league,” said Galati. “I don’t think they beat us, I think we beat ourselves. We’re undisciplined at times and you give that team that many power plays and they are going to make you pay for it. “Five on five we were right there. Take away the three power-play goals it’s a dif- ferent story.” Specialty teams played a huge role in the game with the final three goals by Kingston coming on the power play, while the Pan- thers managed one of their own with the man advantage on Derek Sheppard’s goal that tied the game 1-1 in the second, and later in the period Jeff Heard scored short- handed making it 3-2 at the time. A Kings- ton power-play goal in the third gave them a two-goal cushion. The rising total of penalty minutes is a concern for Galati in the early going, as his team sits second in the division at 4-5- 0. Through nine games the Panthers have racked up 193 minutes all told, second highest in the league behind Georgetown’s 218. It’s a combination of undisciplined play and team toughness, Galati said, not- ing the totals have to come down. “There are too many penalties. Whether it’s tough or undisciplined, it’s too many and it cost us on Sunday. We have to cut down on the penalties,” he added. Spencer Bacon was busy on the weekend, getting the start in goal for both games, facing 40 shots against Newmarket and 46 more in Kingston. His performance over the weekend upped his save percentage on the season to .905 and lowered his goals against average to 3.53, having played all nine games. Galati said that Bacon will con- tinue to get the bulk of the work between the pipes while C.J. Sharp waits to see his first game action. “I think both goalies knew coming in that Spencer was our guy,” said Galati. “We’ve been lucky where we’ve had two games per weekend and a day in between where Spencer has an opportunity to rest.” Galati added that a weekend when the Panthers have three games in three nights, which is coming up Oct. 12, 13 and 14, would likely be the time that Sharp gets his first start. The Panthers also made a roster move on the weekend, releasing defenceman Alyn Nanji back to midget for another year of development while adding Mark Tenuta, a 1994-born forward who had been skating with the team for a while. This weekend the Panthers host Whitby on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and head to New- market for a matinee game on Sunday. > ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Time stands still AJAX -- Notre Dame Cougars’ Davon Greeves, left, battled with Denis O’Connor Chargers’ Ryan Perry during the opening game of the Notre Dame/Denis O’Connor Senior Boys’ Invitational Classic soccer tourney at the Ajax Community Centre.
