By a 16-11 vote, Durham councillors Wednes- day overturned a committee recommendation that a Fair Wage Policy (FWP) be drawn up and used by contractors doing construction work for the Region. A joint Regional committee had called on Dur- ham to set up a FWP, saying it would “level the playing field” for all companies bidding on a construction contract. Terry Dorgan, business representative with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 353, told councillors having an FWP would mean “we all compete on a level playing field.” It would make bids more competitive while lowering the impact on taxpayers, he said. He pointed to a study commissioned by the Ontario Construction Secretariat that such a pol- icy benefits municipalities. The OCS was set up in 1993 and represents about 25 trade unions and some contractors. It’s not a provincial government agency. Bob Malcolmson, CEO of the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, opposed such a policy, saying, “It would affect small- and medium-sized businesses being able to bid on Regional con- tracts. “Our central objection to a fair wage policy is the raising up of wages,” Mr. Malcolmson added. “A fair wage policy is a bad policy. It’s anti-jobs.” Regional Finance Commissioner Jim Clapp urged councillors not to adopt a FWP, saying it would add additional bureaucracy and costs to the Region. “We see this as adding costs to the Region and putting up barriers to accessing contracts,” Mr. Clapp said. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish didn’t support adopt- ing an FWP, saying, “I work for the people. They’re my boss. They’re my only boss. This Region spends billions of dollars in contracts. We have an obligation to get the best value for those dollars.” Uxbridge Councillor Jack Ballinger agreed, not- ing there wasn’t a need for a FWP. “If it’s not bro- ken, don’t try to fix it.” 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon.• Tues.• Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 www.furnituregalleries.ca *Credit equal to the value of the HST.

However, Oshawa Councillor Nancy Diamond dis- agreed, saying if something isn’t broken “doesn’t mean you can’t do something different.” The policy “is about workers doing a job getting a fair wage for the job they do,” Coun. Diamond said. Oshawa, Pickering and Clarington already have a FWP. Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins said the Region would be “going down a very slippery slope. “We’ll be incurring costs we don’t have to incur,” she added.

The time officially goes back an hour at 2 a.m. Nov. 4. Ford Motor Com- pany of Canada is advising driv- ers to exercise caution on the roads as darkness descends before the end of the typ- ical work day, mak- ing the commute home more challeng- ing. From glaring head- lights on the highway to unseen critters on country roads, reduced visibility at night means extra focus and care is needed. fast facts The following is a list of tips: • Drive according to lighting and highway condi- tions because it can be more difficult to judge dis- tances and monitor other cars on the road when it is dark. • Keep a flashlight and batteries in your vehicle in case of emer- gency, such as a flat tire, and always bring your cell- phone with its charger. • Keep your speed to a level where the distance you can see ahead with your headlights is equal to, or greater than, the distance it takes to bring your vehicle to a complete stop. • Don’t follow too closely. The general rule is the vehi- cle ahead should pass a road marker two seconds before you. In slippery conditions, it is recommended to double the amount of space between you and the vehicle in front. • Make sure your windshield wipers are in good condition and your washer fluid has been filled recently. The effect of dirt on your windshield is amplified at night. • Make sure you are awake and alert behind the wheel. If necessary, take a break and grab a cof- fee.

MPP Dickson says Liberals dedicated to improving transit Tara HaTHerly thatherly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak stopped by the Ajax GO sta- tion Oct. 26 to tout his party’s plan to improve transportation in the province. As commuters, trains and buses passed, Mr. Hudak and Todd McCa- rthy, Ontario PC candidate for Ajax- Pickering, spoke about their party’s transit vision, while Ajax Councillor Renrick Ashby and a representative for Mayor Steve Parish listened. Mr. Hudak said gridlock is cost- ing Ontario too much lost time and money. “It’s costing us jobs,” he said. “The heart of our economy in Ontario is the Greater Toronto, Hamilton area. That’s where most of our jobs are, our investment, and that’s where most of the population lives. But those arteries are badly clogged, and if we want to cre- ate jobs and investment, we need to help break gridlock and also improve the quality of life for resi- dents of Ajax and Durham, so they can spend more time together and less time stuck in traffic.” He said his party’s vision for tran- sit is threefold -- upload public transit and major highways to the Province, increase transit invest- ments, and create what he called a more comprehensive and integrat- ed approach. He said he’s confident his party could find the money needed to upload transit to the Province and build more highways, by making transit a top funding priority, elim- inating waste in other areas and increasing public-private partner- ships. While Mr. Hudak said, “Durham has been left out of the equation under the current government,” a representative for Liberal Ajax- Pickering MPP Joe Dickson who attended offered a different opin- ion. “When it comes to highway infra- structure, the Hudak PCs have voted against more than $317 mil- lion for expansion and improve- ments in Durham Region, and Ajax-Pickering local infrastructure investments,” Mr. Dickson said in a statement his representative pro- vided. “Ontario Liberals have made the largest transit investment in 40 years, investing in transit in the Durham Region while also helping to upgrade infrastructure as neces- sary to accommodate these expan- sions.” It also said that Mr. Hudak voted against funding upgrades and ser- vice expansions for the Ajax GO station where he appeared, as well as others in Durham. Following Mr. Hudak’s speech, Coun. Ashby said it makes sense to upload transit responsibilities to the Province. “I always thought that there has to be a better way of pro- viding transit here in Ontario,” he said. “I see it impacting families in terms of people leaving here at 6, 7 o’clock in the morning, not coming back until 6, 7 o’clock at night. So that’s time away from their family, it’s wasted time spent travelling. So there’s some quality of life issues, and it also speaks to enhancing the employment opportunities here in Ajax.” FRIDAY,NOVEMBER 2TO THURSDAY,NOVEMBER 8 8-piece gift from ELIZABETH ARDEN Until November 18, 2012.Receive �� with your Elizabeth Arden purchase of $38 or more.

The show takes place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, inside the HMS Ajax Room at the Ajax Community Centre, 75 Cen- tennial Rd. “We have a really beautiful dis- play of quilts and wall hangings and quilted garments for peo- ple to see,” said Sharon Galna, quilt show chairwoman. “Even if people aren’t really interested in quilting itself, it has taken a bit of a turn now where it’s not just bed quilts people see, but also art quilts for walls. People who are interested in the arts in gen- eral might enjoy seeing a bit of a different way of using a different medium.” Twisted Stitchers is a registered charity and teaching guild based in Ajax. Members meet to share their love of quilting, and create items to donate to local commu- nity groups and organizations. Works by guild members will be on display and for sale at the event, which features a silent auc- tion, quilt raffle, merchants’ mall, tearoom and more. Guests at the show can partici- pate in viewers’ choice categories by voting for their favourite quilts and quilters, including voting for their favourite use of fabric from an guild challenge many group members participated in. Anyone wanting to get a glimpse of the guild’s work in advance of the show can visit Ajax Town Hall to see the Town of Ajax quilt the group created and donated to the Town. Until the show begins, the group also has some of its works on display at the Ajax Pub- lic Library’s main branch, 55 Har- wood Ave. N. Proceeds from the show will help support the guild’s charity work. “We provide a lot of quilted items for the community ... The money that is raised goes back into making things for commu- nity groups that we support,” Ms. Galna said, noting that includes the Ajax hospital and a local nurs- ing home, as well as the Make a Wish Foundation and Red Cross. Admission the show is $5. For more information, search Twisted Stitchers on Facebook or contact twistedstitchers@gmail.com. “Everybody hears about how much fun we have,” Ms. Galna said. “With a name like Twisted, it kind of gives you an idea of what we’re like.” Reporter Tara Hatherly can be found on Twitter @Tara_Hatherly and on Facebook by searching Tara Hatherly.

Girls 13 years of age and older, along with a female guardian, are invited to attend the inau- gural Re-thinc Girls Conference from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facil- ity, 2700 Audley Rd. N. The conference features inter- active workshops and a panel discussion with financially suc- cessful women, as well as a keynote speech from Marissa McTasney, president of Moxie Trades Inc., on building a brand and busi- ness. The event aims to help females achieve their financial goals and build financially suc- cessful futures. A 2008 study found that 76 per cent of Durham residents living in poverty were women and children, and that Durham females made an average of 61 per cent less money than their male counterparts. Girls Inc. is working to change those statistics, through initia- tives like the Re-thinc Girls Conference, as well as com- munity, summer and in- school programs. For more infor- mation on Girls Inc. of Durham, which works to empower females ages six to 18 to achieve their dreams and make a positive impact on society, visit www.girlsinc-durham.org, or contact info@durham.girls- inc.org or 905-428-8111.

The program is run by Tom Gagovski, who has worked in law enforcement for 25 years and speaks at secondary and post-secondary schools throughout Ontario. The open house takes place from 5 to 9 p.m. at 172 Hunt St. For more information on the program, which has been rec- ognized by Canada’s House of Commons, contact Mr. Gagov- ski at 289-600-4702 or gagov- skislegal@gmail.com.

All content copyright Editorial OpinionsOpinionsOpinionsOpinions email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com Bullying continues in our communities To the editor: Re: ‘Another teen dies over bullying: the time is now for a national stand’, editorial opinion, durhamregion.com, Oct. 17, 2012. How timely. I am a parent of a child who was bullied recently. A student stood on a desk and lunged after my child while threatening to kill him. If not for a teach- er physically restraining him, I am not sure what would have happened. So far the pen- alty for the bully has been one-day suspen- sion. My dismay is the reaction of the school and the Durham District School Board. So far they have circled the wagons around the bully and he is being helped by every resource possible. What about the victims? No one from the school told my son that he would be OK until I demanded it. After discussions with superintendent prom- ising better communication and that the bully would not be reintegrated into the class any time soon; my son informed me that today without any notification to him or I, the bully was on the playground at recess and in the classroom for the last period of class. What message does this send to victims and their parents? Verlene Harrison Ajax Justice system also bullied victim To the editor: Re: ‘Bullies don’t deserve any type of com- passion’ Mike Johnston column, durhamre- gion.com, Oct. 17, 2012. The ultimate act of bullying against Mitchell Wilson was committed by Ontario Court Justice Mary Teresa Devlin when she acquitted the youth accused in his robbery trial. Mitchell was so sincere that he knew who robbed and bullied him that he committed the ultimate act of killing himself so that he wouldn’t have to face his abuser. By acquitting the accused, Justice Devlin totally dismissed Mitchell’s statement to the police -- the final act of bullying against him. Justice Devlin has demonstrated that she is part of the problem and not part of the solution. Until our justice system takes bullying seriously, these needless deaths will con- tinue to occur. Justice Devlin’s decision is not surprising though; the justice system doesn’t pun- ish individuals for committing heinous murders so why would it punish a young bully? Paul Taalman Ajax We should applaud police effort in standoff To the editor: Re: ‘Standoff ends peacefully, but Dur- ham police failed residents’, editorial opin- ion, durhamregion.com, Oct. 18, 2012. The headline on your editorial should have read: ‘Durham police protect residents and ensure safe conclusion to standoff.’ In your editorial you state that it is the job of the police to counter inaccurate informa- tion being shared through social media. You also write that it is their job to inform the public of the possibility of explosives on the site to explain the large cordoned off area. Finally, according to your editori- al, they should explain decisions they have taken and counter rumours that only serve to inspire fear. The job of the police is to protect the public. They clearly did this in an exem- plary manner and yet you take away from this shining example of a job well done to say that it is somehow their responsibility to contain the rumours as well. Can you explain how sharing informa- tion about the possibility of explosives is going to quell the rumour mill? And when did it become necessary for the police to explain themselves and their decisions while they are dealing with a potentially lethal situation? You should be applauding the men and women of the Durham police for working for 27 hours to ensure the best possible ending to this situation. I am sure I speak for many people when I say thank you to our local police. We appre- ciate everything they do to ensure we are safe. They may not hear it often, but many of us (if not most of us, the public) think they are doing a great job. They should keep doing what they do, exactly the way they are doing it. Shaelene McInnis Oshawa Fatal fire prompts need for action across Durham Region Many questions still surround the fatal fire in Whitby last spring that claimed the lives of three local teens. Officials still haven’t determined the cause of the fire, or whether the home the teens shared had working smoke alarms. Most troubling is the fact that a 911 call was made from the home to report the blaze, but none of teens escaped. Those answers must be provided as soon as reasonably possible. What the community has learned is that these three teens lived somewhat on the margins of the society. One of the victims, Hollylynn Towie, 17, had a mild form of autism and kept to herself and felt most comfortable around her two constant friends, Ben Twiddy and Holly Harrison. Ben, 19, faced a lifetime of medical issues and had endured a kidney transplant and three liver transplants. Chronic health issues contributed to his falling behind in school work. He moved into the apartment in which he died on April 1, just four weeks before the fatal blaze. Holly, 18, was a friend of both and was a frequent visitor to the home, She was diagnosed with intellectual disabilities and mental illness. She was on several waiting lists for social services at the time she died. The trio, tight friends all, also had fami- lies who loved them and who struggled with them through their difficulties. Surviving family members, meanwhile, want others to realize the devastation and ensure that fire safety is a priority for all. As well, they have sought the assistance of Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott to raise awareness about the need for timely access to necessary social supports, such as transitional housing. The deaths of three teens who shared such a strong bond through their friendship and their common struggles is indeed a trage- dy. But some good can come of it if action is taken at various levels of government to address the issues they faced. We all share in the grief of the friends and family of Holly, Hollylynn and Ben. And we call on the community to actively support the effort to get the answers that are need- ed, to promote the importance of govern- ment programs and services to address the needs of high-risk young adults, and to for- ever remember these unfortunate victims. As Christina Zevenhoven, Holly’s step- mother, noted at this week’s candlelight vigil held in memory of the teens: “We can’t let this be just these three kids die and it’s sad, over and done with. Something good has to come out of this.” 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 • No v e m b e r 2 , 2 0 1 2 6 AP 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 • No v e m b e r 2 , 2 0 1 2 7 AP armando villavona Photo Maple Ridge goes all out for Terry PICKERING-- From left, Rebecca Sutherland showed a replica of Terry Fox’s prosthet- ic leg to Jaylen Hamilton and Yiam Guest-Cohen on Oct. 26 during a presentation of the money raised by Maple Ridge Public School for the Terry Fox Foundation.

AvailableNovember 6 Thank youandI’m sorry SuppoR TING A CT Children in Ajax and Pickering have been benefiting from the program since 2004, and 661 children received gift boxes last year. This year, organizers are hoping to raise $35,000 locally to fill enough boxes for up to 1,000 area children. Ms. Mrozek starts picking out everything from the colour of the warm mitts to the type of candy the kids receive in the boxes in February. Within a couple of months, the orders need to be placed so the items can be manufactured and shipped in time. The boxes begin to take life in September when all the items that go inside arrive. Santa’s elves need to count every last sock and toothbrush to make sure they received everything they ordered. They also move into the top secret work- shop in September. The space needs to be big enough to store thousands of boxes and still have room left over for several tables that form an assem- bly line. It has to have office space for the computers used to keep track of names, ages and addresses of all children who will receive boxes. In October, the boxes come out of their plastic wrap and elves start packing the items inside. They work six days a week, folding sweat- er after sweater. It takes the entire month to pack all 45,000 boxes and sort them by age. By November, the boxes are all but ready to be delivered, only missing a per- sonalized label with the child’s name on it that gives them the special feeling that the box was made just for them. Then the boxes are moved from the top secret workshop to nearly 50 depot loca- tions around the GTA. Here, they’re s o r t e d by street name and divided into odd and even street numbers to make things easier for the cheerful elves who will pile the boxes into their sleighs (or cars). Those volunteers will bring the boxes to their destinations in early December, delivering Christmas cheer to thousands of homes in Toronto, Brampton, Missis- sauga, Ajax and Pickering before Christ- mas. Weeks later, it all starts again. --with files from Moya Dillon Ajax-Pickering News Advertiser helps local kids through Santa Claus Fund AJAX-PICKERING from page 1 rene johnston / toronto star TORONTO -- Marty Archer stacks thousands of gifts as the boxes fly.

The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer- term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section.

The community is buzzing with excite- ment over this year’s DATCA ceremony, generously hosted in partnership with the RMG, in conjunction with its month- ly RMG Fridays event. Our judging committee of dynamic community leaders was impressed by the quality of all nominations and had several tough decisions to make. It is inspiring to see how much cre- ative talent we have in Durham Region. Be sure to stick around after the awards ceremony to enjoy free, live entertain- ment from local musician Jadea Kelly right in the gallery.

Durham Art of Transition Creative Awards ceremony Nov. 9 > FOLLOW OUR TWITTER FEED AT NEWSDURHAM Kids shouldn't share hats, combs, pillows in fall, winter KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It's that time of year again when tiny, scratchy lice move into the hair of unsuspecting young children and aren’t usu- ally eager to leave. The Durham District School Board is reminding parents of the precautions that should be taken in the fall and winter months regarding these small, sharp-clawed crea- tures. In these seasons, lice is more wide- spread and breakouts among children aged three to 12 are prevalent since they have more head-to-head contact than older stu- dents, according to the Region of Durham Health Department’s website. Board superintendent Mark Joel says stu- dents should not share hats, combs, brushes, pillows or other personal items during this time. "Keep your own hat on, and tuck it into the sleeve of your coat when you’re not wear- ing it," he said. Mr. Joel emphasized having lice doesn’t mean a child’s hair is dirty. “There should be no stigma attached to lice,” he said. Since lice usually take 14 to 21 days to appear, parents shouldn’t be too surprised if they pop up two to three weeks after Thanks- giving or Christmas, times when children tend to have close contact. Although infected children will have to stay home from school until they’ve been treated and all the lice are dead, the tiny insects are not a health risk. "Through Health Canada and Durham Public Health, head lice is considered a nui- sance, not a public health threat,” said Mr. Joel. Parents should spot-check their child’s hair weekly at this time of year, especially on the scalp, behind the ears and around the nape of the neck. If a parent spots something in their child’s hair, rub it lightly. If it moves, it’s most likely dandruff, but if it’s stuck, chances are it’s lice and they should see a pharmacist or naturopath. Drug stores sell shampoos, conditioners and lotions that don’t require prescriptions. "It's important that they let the school know,” said Mr. Joel. The rest of the school community will be notified of a lice incident and parents will be advised to check their child’s hair. The board has a policy on the various pro- cedures parents, students, teachers and prin- cipals should take regarding lice.

They crawl quickly from one person’s head to another; they do not jump or fly • The nits are easily seen and are firmly attached to the hair close to the scalp • Nits are grayish-white in colour and oval in shape • Nits may look like dandruff but cannot be flicked off Where to look and how to check • Look for nits by parting the hair in small sections, going from one side of the head to the other • Check the hair thoroughly, especially close to the scalp • Look closely behind the ears and around the nape of the neck • Look also at the top of the head and eyebrows • Good lighting is important (natural light may help you see them better) • Check all family members UDIAMONDSHINECARCLEANING&D E T A I LI N G Interior Shampoo & detailing, ExteriorWax 221Westney Rd.S.

AJAX -- The Ajax Film Circuit screens a documen- tary, Ai Weiwei -- Never Sorry, on Nov. 7. “Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, a design consultant for the Bird’s Nest stadium for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and the runner-up for Time Magazine’s 2011 Person of the Year, is an outspoken activist for democracy and civil rights -- a position that has put him at odds with the Chinese Communist Party’s central committee,” states a press release. “First- time director Alison Klayman was introduced to Ai while working as a freelance journalist in China and was in the right place at the right time as inter- est in this politically minded artist increased. Ai’s actions came under scrutiny when he turned his attention towards uncovering the Chinese govern- ment’s mismanagement of the faulty school build- ings that resulted in over 5,300 child deaths during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.” The film is shown at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.). Circuit films are screened one Wednesday a month from September through May at the Ajax Cineplex Odeon, 248 Kingston Rd. E. (at Salem Road). Tickets are $7 in advance at the Ajax Library’s Main Branch or $7.50 at the theatre on film night. You don’t have to be a member to see the films.

Submit your artwork to Neil Croswell at the Petticoat Creek Community Centre (905-420- 4660, ext. 6100, ncroswell@pickering.ca). On in Pickering Allan’s Artists: the exhibition SilverStone gallery show features creative people profiled in News Advertiser column MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Allan O’Marra has profiled Durham artists for four years in his Allan’s Artists column in the News Advertiser and at durhamregion.com. And now some of the artists he’s writ- ten about are showing their work at Pin- eRidge Arts Council’s SilverStone Gallery in Pickering. Allan’s Artists runs on week- ends from Nov. 3 to Dec. 23. There’s an opening reception Nov. 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. “I really like doing them; I’m always so up for them,” O’Marra, an award-winning Ajax artist, says of the interviews that turn into columns. “I’m always on the prowl for an artist and finding something different.” His pieces explore how and what the art- ist creates, but O’Marra says he’s always looking for a good story about how the person came to be an artist. He meets the artist in person, takes their photo and, when he sits down with them, empha- sizes that “this is going to be a conversa- tion between artists.” Along the way, the two share and trade techniques and other shop talk. O’Marra says he’s met some interesting people. He was interested in abstract land- scape painter Mandy Budan, for example, because the Pickering artist is an active user of social media, showing the many new channels available for artists today. Imants Lapins, also of Pickering, repre- sented “a fascinating story” as the artist, born in Latvia, “was a teenager ducking and weaving all through Europe” in the aftermath of the Second World War. Ajax metal sculptor Geordie Lish- man had a one-person show at the Rob- ert McLaughlin Gallery, but interested O’Marra for other reasons as well. “It’s all so bare knuckles with welding tools and big chunks of metal,” he enthus- es. Among the artists exhibiting in the show are Hi-Sook Barker, Budan, Robert Hinves, Ingrid Ruthig and Al Slark. O’Marra is also showing and if you’ve seen his paintings, you know he works in the realistic style. But there’s a but. “I’m not interested in just pulling off real- ism, I like it to have some kind of impact on a story level,” he says. Even when he makes, for example, a painting of a tree, “it’s not just a simple tree, it’s the personality of the tree.” Much of his inspiration and subject mat- ter come from the Bancroft area, which he calls “my muse.” O’Marra grew up there and has a 100-year-old former school- house getaway. As busy as he is making art, O’Marra is very active in the Durham community. At Ontario Shores for Mental Health Ser- vices in Whitby, he teaches art to in- and out-patients once a week and is associate curator at the gallery. He does Art Smarts projects with students in local classrooms and is a psychotherapist. And, broaden- ing his horizons, O’Marra just published a book, Retreat at Worst Horse, based on his time spent at a Buddhist retreat he visits. Back to his art, O’Marra has been on quite a run in recent years award-wise. He joked that he’d hit the trifecta in the Oshawa Art Association’s 43 annual Jur- ied Art Exhibition last year, when he won the Best in Show award in addition to the first- and second-place awards in the oil category. Check out his website, allanomarra. com. SilverStone Gallery is at 617 Liverpool Rd., south of Bayly Street near the lake.

Boots and Hearts 2013 in the works Jason Aldean first headliner for next year’s festival CLARINGTON -- It’s hard to believe the Boots and Hearts Music Festival was just over two months ago.

The band plays the General Motors Centre on Jan. 26 at 8 p.m. “Blue Rodeo emerged in the early 80s as a countrified rock band in the era of hair metal and glossy pop,” states a press release. “Despite sticking out like a sore thumb (or maybe because of it), their single Try became omnipres- ent on radio across Canada and set in motion a three-decade long career of headlining every club, theatre and arena in Canada.” Blue Rodeo has won five Juno awards as Group of the Year and is a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. It’s the second big announce- ment recently from the GMC. The Tragically Hip performs there on Feb. 9.

CORDELIA STRUBE The December Man starts run in Oshawa next week A life shattered by guilt and rage MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Travelling back- wards in time, The December Man explores the impact of a horrific Canadian event on a person who was there. Durham Shoestring Perform- ers presents the Colleen Murphy play Nov. 9, 10 and 14 to 17 at 8 p.m. at Oshawa’s Art Resource Centre. The Montreal Massacre, when Marc Lepine murdered 14 women at the Ecole Polytech- nique in 1989, is only the start- ing point for the play, explains director Carolyn Wilson. “Like the trite and truthful cli- che, it’s not the things thrown at us but how we deal with them that determines how our life will be,” she says. And that’s the case in The December Man with the charac- ter Jean Fournier. A student at the school, he was ordered out of a classroom by Marc Lepine on that fateful day, and struggles with the fact that he did noth- ing, could do nothing to save the women who were killed. Wilson notes that after such a tragedy, we generally read about the victims and the perpetrators. And, in the case of the Mon- treal Massacre, the natural tack would be to interview a woman or women to find out how it has impacted them. Instead, Murphy looks at the aftermath through Jean Fournier. His par- ents, Benoit and Kathleen, do everything they can to help their son live with the guilt and rage he feels. “(Murphy’s) just explored it in such a beautiful way for such a horrific event,” Wilson says. “The writing is so crisp and clear.” And despite what the subject matter might suggest, she says the work moves fast and there’s “a lot of everyday family life” in the play. “The mom and dad have two distinct ways of trying to help their son,” Wilson says. The December Man won the Governor General’s Drama Award in 2007. It’s a small cast, just three peo- ple, with Ken Bond of Courtice as Benoit, Laurie Scattergood of Bowmanville as Kathleen and Darren Brunke of Oshawa as Jean. The theatre group’s 39th sea- son has as its theme “the plac- es where our public and pri- vate lives collide,” states a press release. Next up is The Attic, The Pearls and Three Fine Girls in January followed by Forests in March. The Arts Resource Centre is at 45 Queen St. Tickets are available two weeks before a play opens at the Unit- ed Way Information Services kiosk in the Oshawa Centre or from www.durhamshoestring. org. > Your source for the most comprehensive list of local area open houses this weekendYour source for the most comprehensive list of local area open houses this weekendYour source for the most comprehensive list of local area open houses this weekend OPEN HOUSE WEEKENDOPEN HOUSE WEEKEND OPEN HOUSE SAT & SUN 2-4PM www.homeswithlouise.com • lmicallef1@rogers.com HIGH DEMAND NEIGHBOURHOOD Altona Forest.

Wilson and Pickering. Based on reputation alone, consid- ering they were the defending LOSSA and Metro Bowl champions, Wilson had a huge edge. This season, Wilson ran up a 5-1-0 record on their way to first place, including a pair of 42-12 and 39-0 wins over Pickering, who went winless at 0-6-0. While the final score of Thursday’s semifinal was respectable, as expected, Wilson advanced to the LOSSA final by virtue of a 32-6 victory over Pickering. “The biggest thing is trying to beat a team three times in one season,” said Wilson head coach Adam Papadakos. “That’s a big battle. “Early in the game (Pickering) did some things we didn’t expect. We adjusted and the kids played great football in the second half.” Wilson got first half touchdowns from C.J. Stephens on a 37 yard run, Andrew Smith from five yards out and George Papadakos on a one yard quarterback keeper. They botched the snap on one of the point afters, but managed to recover for a two point conversion for a 22-6 lead. Pickering’s lone touchdown came when Tyree Burke scooped up a fum- ble and scampered 65 yards down the sideline early in the second quarter. Early in the third quarter, Wilson’s Christian Rose intercepted a pass in his own end zone, bringing it out to the four yard line. Wilson marched the length of the field for a touchdown when Papadakos hit Stephens for a 30 yard catch and run. Wilson added a 22 yard field goal in the fourth quarter. “None of them quit,” said Pickering head coach Cam Lee of his team, know- ing in advance the task of dethroning the champions from Wilson. “We were 0-6 coming in and not a single kid quit on us. We worked hard every practice. Every kid that came out learned and paid attention. “I’ve been doing this for six years. Heart-wise this is the best group.” Looking ahead to the LOSSA final against Holy Trinity, who edged Paul Dwyer 28-27 in the other semifinal, Papadakos knows it will be tough. “We’ve got a long history against each other. Both schools have had their pro- grams just as long. It’s a battle. Tier one football in LOSSA is great football.” >Pickering comes up short RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Shaikr Lewis from Pickering High School tried to elude the tackle from a diving C.J. Stephens from the Wilson Gators in Thursday’s LOSSA senior Tier One semifinal at Civic Fields in Oshawa. Wilson advanced with a 32-6 win. Football Watch Ajax- Pickering Dolphins reach finals DURHAM -- With a championship ring in sight, the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins bantam team gave one of its best performances of the season, rushing over the Scarborough Thunder 25-6 to move into the finals. At the start of the first quarter the Dolphins defence set the stage as Shareef Tucker gave the Scarborough quarterback his first sack of the day. Donovin Small had a big intercep- tion, which set up a 30 yard rush by Dante Greaves, followed by a 50 yard rush by Jaid- en Cruz, who broke a few tackles towards the end zone. After a scoreless opening quarter, Daniel Cousins had an interception that set up the first Dolphins touchdown by Jaron Nguyen to make the score 6-0 for the Dolphins. The defence continued its onslaught with tack- les from Cameron Tabatabaei and compa- ny. Devonte Mitchell broke up a TD catch in the end zone, denying the Thunder its first touchdown. Alexander Doucette had a 20 yard rush towards the end zone to close out the second quarter. In the third quarter the Dolphins handed the ball to lineman Quintyn Pettiford who rushed for some much-needed yards, while dragging some Scarborough players along. Tabatabaei continued to do what he does best, with a bear hug move on his opponent, tackling everyone on the opposing team that came within 10 feet of him, clearing the way for a 60 yard touchdown by Jaiden Cruz. The Dolphins ended the second quarter leading 12-0. The fourth quarter continued with a 70 yard touchdown run by Kenan Clarke that was called back. The defence continued to step up the game by unleashing a sack by Tabatabaei, and some big tackles from the line. Mitchell Van Pelt broke up a catch. The ball was handed off to Quintyn Pettiford who fought his way to a 70 yard TD making the score 18-0. Dolphins kicker Devonte Mitch- ell would kick for the extra point making the score 19-0 for the Dolphins. With four min- utes to go, the Scarborough Thunder would rush in a touchdown. Quintyn Pettiford, who had the best game of the season, would rush in the final touchdown. With this win the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins move into the finals against the Markham Raiders on Saturday, Nov. 3 at Birchmount Stadium at 2:30 p.m. The Dolphins skills program starts soon. Each Sunday from Nov. 18 to Feb. 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Dunbarton S.S. gymnasium in Pickering.

Pickering’s Rhea Pascal at home in Germany GERMANY -- It didn’t take Rhea Pas- cal long to feel right at home with her new professional basketball team in Germany. In her first three games for Friends- factory Germering, the Pickering resi- dent averaged 20 minutes, nine points and eight rebounds per game. Her biggest game came on Sunday evening, orchestrating a victory with a double-double by scoring 20 points and collecting 17 rebounds. Pascal was also a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line in a 93-57 win, improving her club to 3-2 on the season. After graduating from Notre Dame, where she led her team to LOSSA titles in 2005 and 2007, she accepted a four-year scholarship to American International College, graduating from the communications program this past spring. Ajax FC Red U17 Ontario League champs AJAX -- The Ajax FC Red U17 girls (formerly Ajax Strikers 1995) have had an outstanding year. First they became Ontario Youth Soccer League East Division champions. After consistent victo- ries toward the end of the season, Ajax FC grabbed first place from the Richmond Hill Raiders, who had a 10-point advantage on Ajax during the regular season. Ajax’s league results are impressive, reg- istering 14 wins with 55 goals for and only 10 against, while playing at the highest level for youth soc- cer in the province. In early September, Ajax met the OYSL West Division champi- ons, Erin Mills A, at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga for a play- off game to determine the over- all Ontario league champions. It was a tough game on the opposing team’s home turf but Ajax FC pre- vailed 2-1 with the first goal scored on a set play off a corner kick and the second goal volleyed into the net off a cross. Goal scorers were Alexandria Lamontagne and Ash- ley Nater. As OYSL League champions, Ajax FC earned a berth to the Que- bec-Ontario Cup, which is a com- petition developed by both The Ontario Soccer Association and la Federation de Soccer du Quebec. The league champions from the Ontario Provincial League and the Quebec Provincial League com- pete in a two-game series for the Cup. On Thanksgiving weekend, Ajax FC travelled to Pointe-Claire, Que. to play the older U18 Quebec champions, Rapides De Chaud- iere-Ouest of Quebec City, who had only lost one game all sea- son with just seven goals against. Against a feisty and skilled Que- bec squad, Ajax blanked Quebec 1-0 with the lone goal scored by Lamontagne. The second game was played on Sunday and would determine the winner of the Cup. Ajax came out dominating from start to finish and fought to a con- vincing 6-0 win, with goals scored by Jessica Friend, Grace Woroch, Jessica Craig, Ashley Nater (2) and Karena Evans. Goalkeeper Steph- anie Bukovec earned both shut- outs. The Ajax FC Red started the sea- son on a strong note by entering the most prestigious Showcase tour- naments in the U.S., including the Ohio Elite Showcase, Crossroads Showcase in Indiana, and Raleigh North Carolina Showcase, along with the Umbro Top Rated Show- case in Mississauga. Ajax went undefeated in all four tournaments while seeded in the top-flight divi- sions at each showcase. Several of Ajax FC Red’s team members have now received verbal commitments for scholarships with universities from both the United States and Canada after their stellar perfor- mances this season. The Ajax FC girls have been invited to attend the OYSL Annual Awards Banquet in Toronto on Nov. 11 where they will receive their well-deserved awards as OYSL East Division champions, OYSL League champions and as winners of the Quebec-Ontario Cup. This talented Ajax FC girl’s team is cur- rently preparing to showcase their skills in upcoming tournaments in the U.S., Canada and internation- ally, beginning in November 2012. Team members include Stepha- nie Bukovec, Crissy Cornacchia, Jessica Craig, Karena Evans, Jes- sica Friend, Alexandria Lamon- tagne, Mackenzie Langford, Nicole Miklovich, Ashley Nater, Jacky Normandeau, Hannah Park, Tif- fany Smith, Shaylynn Tell, Leanne Tobin and Grace Woroch. The staff are head coach Bob Langford, assistant coach Harry Craig, man- ager Greg Normandeau and train- er Sara Langford. Submitted photo AJAX -- The Ajax FC U17 Red soccer team had an outstanding sea- son, including winning the Quebec-Ontario Cup. Michael’s Eatery off to good start in basketball league AJAX -- Despite the annual draft to hopefully provide some par- ity in the league, things did not go so well on the first night of action in the Ajax Men’s Basket- ball League. All three wins were decisive with the closest margin of vic- tory a 55-38 win by Top Shelf over North Alliance Press. The Shelf, last year’s regular season champs, led from start to finish over NAP, last year’s playoff win- ners. Ravi Persad was dominant with a 21-point performance. He had help from Eric Spriel and rookie Stuart Skeete with 12 and 10 points respectively. Nick Mikos was the lone bright spot for NAP with nine points. E S N Packaging also had an easy night as they defeated The Right Step 53-35. Point guard Calvin Simon tallied 16 points and numerous assists in leading ESN. Mike Stod- dart chipped in 15 points with five three pointers. Rookie Billy Jack led all scorers with 18 for the losers. Michaels Eatery completed the lopsided wins as they steamrolled Dickson’s Printing 65-33. It was a strong team effort with seven players contributing to the scor- ing. Claude Whitfield hit for 14, while Nick Sideris and Rob Hare had a dozen each. Big man Rob- ert Clarke led Dickson’s with 11. Games are played Wednesday nights at Ajax High School. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 , 2 0 1 2 17 AP Discover a Richer, More Rewarding Future DISCOVER IMPROVE ACHIEVE 1-888-806-1856 Call Today!
