SUBMITTED PHOTODurham learning the Dominican way KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- In the Dominican Republic, a teacher stands in front of a classroom of about 50 students. The students sit in rows and their desks are separated. The classroom has no electricity and the school offers very little technology. But things are slowly changing in the Caribbean country, as Durham teachers share best practices with Dominican edu- cators, thanks to Teacher Mentors Abroad, a charitable orga- nization run by St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Leaskdale, part of Uxbridge. TMA volunteers identify gaps in educational resources and teacher professional development in the country and conduct suitable training programs. Dominican educators who attend the workshops learn how to share their new skills within their communities, fostering sustainable and long-term devel- opment. “You’re building capacity, you’re empowering the people who will be doing this day in and day out,” said Nancy Loraine, the president of TMA’s board of directors and a Sun- derland area resident. This year, five educators from Durham -- two principals and three teachers -- flew to the Dominican for the four-day work- shop.

The licensed restaurant has a full seating area for up to 90 guests and a private room that can be booked for up to 10 people. At The WORKS, they take burgers to a whole new level. There are 60 different burger combinations and six patty choices, including 100% beef, chicken breast, ground turkey, Portobello mushroom caps, vegetarian and lean elk. The toppings range from typical to very untraditional. Someofthemoreuniquetoppingsavailableincludeavocado, peanut butter, pineapple, cream cheese and Kraft Dinner! Yo u can put your favourite combination in between a white, whole wheat or gluten free bun. In fact, most of their toppings are also gluten free. At The WORKS, you will find locally named burgers, including the Nuke-U-Lar, a tribute to the Pickering nuclear plant that has avocado, salsa, sour crème and fresh jalapeño peppers. They also offer the Frenchmen’s Oar and the Liverpool Road Bacon Burg. The Crappy Tire Burger is made up with a grilled pineapple ring, sweet and spicy sauce, and brie cheese; but the coolest thing about this particular burger is that you can pay for it with Canadian Ti re money! To complementyourburger,youcanchoosefromavariety of sides. Choose fresh cut fries, steamed broccoli, celery or cucumbers, weeds (salads), sweet potato fries, spicy die cut chips, lumpy mash or their bold slaw which is made with white pepper and jalapeno pepper juice. Their appetizers are second to none, and their To wer of Rings is definitely the most popular. Breaded and stacked 12 high, the onion rings are served with two dipping sauces. If you are looking for something a little lighter, you can opt for one of their salads that come in side and dinner sizes. There’s lots of topping options and you can even choose to add any one of their patties to the salads. If you’ve still got a little bit of space or like to eat the sweet stuff first, there are three dessert options to choose from. The Splitsville is a delectable combination of bananas, strawberries, thick fudge, chocolate sauce, ice cream, whipped cream and topped with Oreo crumbs and walnuts. For those of you that are in a hurr y,there is a “WORKS Quickie” lunch menu. Burgers on this menu are 4 oz. instead of the normal 8 oz., so they can be cooked quicker, getting you back to your day. Everything is made fresh and is cooked to order. All of the burgers are hand pressed each morning and the fries are cut by hand. Most of the dips are made in-house, and nothing is precooked. There are no heating lamps here. Food comes hot off the grill and straight to you. Not only is the food fantastic, but the atmosphere is pretty cool too.Yo u won’t find any TVs here, but you will hear rock and roll music and be served by wait staff that are fun, lively, happy and smiling.

Shakes for grown-ups can be made with rum or vodka. There are also floats! The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro started in Ottawa and was exclusive to that area for 10 years. Four years ago, the restaurant began to franchise and there are now 25 locations, with three more under construction. The Pickering restaurant is the 20th location, which is owned and operated by Cathy Ta ylor, who has been a Pickering area resident for over 20 years. The restaurant is 100% Canadian and so is their menu. Even their wines are from the Niagara region. Ta keout is available.Yo u can call ahead to place your order and stop by and pick it up, or you can order it at the restaurant. Orders are usually ready in under twenty minutes.

The new stakeholder engagement initia- tive, called Leading For Patients, launched at the end of August with a new website and will run until late October. The pro- cess will allow TSH and RVHS officials to explore the potential risks and benefits of a merger with the community, staff and stakeholders. “It’s important to note that no decisions regarding a potential merger have been made at this point,” said Rik Ganderton, president and CEO of RVHS. “Listening to our communities is key to this process and we invite and encourage everyone’s par- ticipation. Our goal and responsibility is to ensure that local residents have access to high-quality and safe hospital care, while using tax dollars efficiently and effective- ly.” Leading for Patients will offer opportuni- ties for the community to actively partici- pate in discussions through events such as roundtable meet- ings, telephone town halls, and the new website, www.lead- ingforpatients.ca. The website will include information on areas of strength and potential oppor- tunities for integrat- ing patient servic- es and back-office departments in a potential merger, as well as feedback forms and online surveys available in English, Chinese and Tamil. The website will also offer updates on future roundtable meetings with commu- nity groups as well as dates, times and call- in information for telephone town halls. In November, the two hospital boards of directors will evaluate the benefits of a possible merger and make a recommen- dation. A decision to merge the hospitals would be subject to approval from the Central East Local Health Integration Net- work Board and, ultimately, the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care.

Councillor Peter Rodrigues asked staff to look into opening the program up to Claremont resi- dents, who are cur- rently excluded due to a requirement that applicants live south of the Third Concession Road. “Unfortunately for people in Claremont who are not capable of clearing their own snow readily, they get tickets and bylaw infractions for not clearing snow,” he said. “Meanwhile there are about 300 peo- ple in the urban centre for whom we do clear snow. I would like staff to reex- amine their criteria for whom we clear snow.” Coun. Doug Dickerson also asked staff to examine the pros and cons of expand- ing the program beyond the current cap of 300. At a cost of $75,000, or about $250 per person, he said he would like to see the program expanded free of charge, but also suggested perhaps a modest fee could be utilized to open the program to more residents.

The 25-year-old Stouffville man managed to get out of his van after it left Concession 9, entered the ditch and became airborne before coming to rest in a field, Durham police said. He was taken by ambu- lance to a local hos- pital, then later transferred to a Toronto trauma unit for further e v a l u a t i o n , police said. The road was closed for sever- al hours as police gathered evidence. Durham cop targeted in Twitter flap accepts ombudsman’s apology Wrongly accused officer says he considers the matter settled JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A Durham cop wrongly identified as the author of insulting barbs aimed at the province’s ombudsman has accepted Andre Marin’s apology. Detective Constable Scott Dennis con- siders the matter settled and does not plan to pursue civil action, his lawyer, Gary Hopkinson, said Thursday. “Det. Const. Dennis has accepted Mr. Marin’s apology and considers this a full resolution of the matter,” Mr. Hopkinson said via e-mail. “He just wants to put this behind him and get on with his life.” Det. Const. Dennis, a fraud investigator with Durham’s major crimes unit, found himself thrust unexpectedly into a media spotlight in early August when a series of crude statements appeared on Twitter, criticizing Mr. Marin over comments he’d made about police use of force strategies. Mr. Marin quickly fired back, saying the account from which the remarks were sent was traced back to Det. Const. Den- nis. Durham police said Monday an inter- nal probe had revealed another officer was responsible for sending the tweets, and had set up the account in Det. Const. Dennis’s name without his knowledge. That officer, who has not yet been named, faces charges under the Police Act, Durham police said. Mr. Marin waited until Tuesday, when he said he was shown “concrete” proof that Det. Const. Dennis had been exoner- ated, to issue an apology. “I apologize to Det. Const. Dennis for any distress that my role in this mat- ter may have caused him and his fam- ily. I have reached out personally to him to convey my regrets, and I have spoken to his lawyer,” Mr. Marin said in a state- ment. “I understand this has been a very dif- ficult time for Det. Const. Dennis, and I hope that in addition to my apology, he will also receive a proper apology from both the colleague who fraudulently impersonated him, and his police ser- vice,” the statement said. Mr. Hopkinson said that Det. Const. Dennis described for Mr. Marin the toll the odd ordeal had taken on him and his family, and “how he believes it could have been handled better.” But the cop is content now to put the matter to rest, Mr. Hopkinson said. “He has no intention of taking any action against anyone else related to this matter and is confident that the Durham Regional Police Service is taking appro- priate steps to address what occurred,” he said. Durham police have not said yet when a hearing for the unnamed, accused officer is to be held.

Late last Monday, as two people sat on the front porch of a home in south Ajax, they were approached by armed suspects and one of them was shot. Earlier in the day, also in Ajax, a teenage girl hid in a bedroom closet and called 911 after ignoring a knock on the door only to have an intruder break in. On Wednesday in Pickering, a woman did answer a knock on the door around 12:30 a.m., only to be assaulted by home invaders. Are Ajax and Pickering especially dan- gerous places? No, but it can seem the case when such incidents occur in short order. And while we can’t be immune to such trouble, there are measures we can take to be as safe as possible. Many of these tips can be found on the Durham Regional Police website, drps.ca, Public Safety link. It’s fair to say that excellent dead-bolt locks, secured windows, an alarm system and a dog are all beneficial. As the website notes, even a small dog will deter a robber. And always lock the doors and windows of your home and vehicle. Thieves want things to be as easy as possible. The harder a house or car is to enter, the more likely a common thief will pass it by. Do everything possible to make it look like somebody is at home. This is especially important when you are away on vacation. Day or night, not opening your door to strangers is the best policy. Once you’ve opened the door it’s too late. Ideally, your front door has a peep-hole or other feature that allows you to see out- side and even communicate with the call- er. Know your neighbours and look out for one another. Outside of your home, be aware of your surroundings and don’t put yourself at a higher risk of being approached and/or attacked. Walk confi- dently with your head up, frequently sur- veying the area. Don’t listen to music with earphones on if you’re out for a walk or a jog, it puts you at a disadvantage. Avoid parks and greenspaces at night. Finally, be the eyes and ears of police in your neighbourhood. Help them do their jobs by being observant and calling them if you see a suspicious person or vehicle. Police can’t be everywhere. Our personal safety is in the final analysis largely up to us. ‘Balanced’ view, or subtle intolerance? To the editor: Re: ‘Balance needed in hateful letter issue’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, Aug. 28, 2013. I’m sure the author considers his letter to be more ‘temperate’ than the ‘hateful let- ter’ to which he refers. He speaks of “people who can indeed be a thorough nuisance,” and says that he would not want “such a person” living near him. He twice uses the descriptor, “parents of such children.” If only I felt that by “such children” he meant ‘children who make a lot of noise,’ and not ‘children with a disability,’ I might have thought that his letter was presenting a ‘balanced’ view instead of veiled intoler- ance. Sue Ryan-Fung Pickering Other ‘lost Canadians’ are looking up to Ajax’s Jackie Scott To the editor: Re: ‘Former Ajax resident fights for her citizenship’, news, durhamregion.com, Aug. 15, 2013. I think people in Durham should be very proud of Jackie Scott. ‘ I hate to see some of the nasty comments in the press, accusing her of being out to get money, free health care, etc. She has been working hard, filling out applica- tions, sending in fees, and also advocating and assisting other lost Canadians for the last several years. A successful outcome for her will result in help for approximately 37,000 in similar situations, of whom I am one. Like Jackie, my father left work in Ontario to serve with the Canadian Artillery from 1939-1945 when he was discharged with injuries. My mother, brother and I joined him via a war bride ship early in 1946 and have been here ever since. We farmed, worked and participated right here in Norfolk County until 2003, when my brother (a veteran of the Navy) applied for a passport. He was told abruptly that our citizen- ship had been stripped. I was told I could be charged for having voted all those years and that my father would not have quali- fied as Canadian as he was not domiciled in the country for the entire five years prior to 1947. My MP would not help at all. I soon learned I had lots of company across Can- ada. No efforts to resolve this have worked. Surely this cannot be right, and our past veterans deserve to be once again recog- nized as part of the Canada for which they gave so much.

We had a big discussion about it. Finally, she understood what I was trying to do, and actually helped me write this letter to you. Here’s the thing. In my office, most of the people that come in to see me tell me they’ve “tried everything.” They’ve had “every” test, wound up with huge medical bills, and are still no better off. Often, they’ve been subjected to medications that have only served to temporarily mask symptoms. That’s not what most people are looking for. Health, or the lack of it, very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections. That’s what I’m going to tell you about. But, before I tell you more, let me tell you something about me… At the time, I’m a contractor for my fathers’ construction business, and life is good.But then, it happens…I develop a painful back condition known as “disc bulge/herniation”. In my case it comes on suddenly. The pain in my back gets so intense that I can’t bend over, lifting anything is impossible, and I can’t even put on my shoes. The shooting pain sometimes wakes me up in the middle of the night. I’m afraid that I’ll hurt my fathers’ business if the disability continues. After considering surgery (that’s the only option, according to the doctor) I decide against it.But, there’s more… A friend of mine convinces me to give his doctor a try. This new doctor does an exam, takes some films, and then ‘adjusts’ my spine (he tells me that there’s nerve pressure on the nerves in my low back). The adjustment doesn’t hurt, it actually feels good. I get relief, and shortly after I can help my father again.Oh, did I mention that this doctor is a chiropractor?Chiropractic works so well for me, and I’m so impressed with the other ‘miracles’ I see in his office, that I eventually go to chiropractic school myself. And that’s how it happened!” Back to what my wife (at first) didn’t want me to write. It’s that chiropractic is one of the biggest “secrets” in health care. Few people (relatively, only 10% have been to a chiropractor) know about it. And, many of the rest could be helped, if they only knew the true story. So, I often feel like shouting it from the mountaintop! Is that professional?”We ll, maybe it is, or maybe not. But, I’ve decided people should know. People from Ajax/Pickering and the surrounding area come to see me with their low back problems. They also come to me with their: • Headaches • Migraines • Chronic pain • Neck pain • Whiplash from car accidents • Shoulder/arm pain • Backaches • Numbness in limbs • Athletic injuries Just to name a few… Here’s what some of your neighbors had to say: “I haven’t had to take pain pills since starting care. (A.C. – Ajax) “For the first time in years I feel good. Sciatica is gone” (D.S. – Pickering) “I feel wonderful. I ran up stairs for the first time in years.” (P.K. – Ajax) “I wish I knew about… Chiropractic earlier. (A.E. – Pickering) Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take the credit.The truth is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything.What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself.Of course, all people respond differently to care, but we get terrific results. It’s as simple as that! • Exciting Offer-Look, I know you’re smart.Yo u want to get to the cause of your problem, and not just cover it up with drugs. Be one of the first 20 people to call and schedule a new patient exam (by Friday Sept. 20, 2013) you’ll receive the entire exam for $37. That’s with x-rays, a complete nerve, muscle and spinal exam to seek the “cause” of your problem... the whole ball of wax, and there’s no hidden fees. But, call right away because we expect to be flooded with calls as this exam normally costs $115. So don’t miss out. Again, be one of the first 20 appointments available. Great care at a great fee…Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee.Yo u’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications… I’m a graduate of New Yo rk Chiropractic College. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes that you may even know. After practicing in Pittsburgh PA for three years, I moved my practice to Ajax. I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care. My assistant is Nancy and she is a really great person. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home.We have a wonderful service, at an exceptional fee.

Owner Ray is very familiar with the world of pizza. He began working at Pizza Pizza in 1986 and continued working there until recently. He owned a Pizzaville in Oshawa in 2001. His wife was also immersed in the franchise world, working alongside her husband at Pizzaville and also holding down jobs at Pizza Pizza and Tim Hortons. Together, they loved making great food and providing customer service, but wanted the freedom that a franchise could not offer them. When The Pizza Shack came up for sale, Ray seized the opportunity and purchased their equipment, transforming the restaurant into his own. The restaurant has seating for 20, or you can pick something up to go. The TV is usu- ally set to CP24 so you can catch up with the goings-on of the day. There are lots of tasty choices to choose from, including pizzas, wings, burgers, sandwiches, salads, jerk and roti. Dinner is easy and affordable when you stop in at Ray’s on your way home and pick up their main special - a medium pepperoni pizza for just $6.49. Monday through Wednes- day, you can enjoy the wing special, with wings just $0.59 each. If you are looking for a quick lunch, stop in for a slice, pop and a bag of chips, starting at just $4.09. Or you can opt for a panzerotti with two toppings and a pop for only $4.49. Catering is also available. Whatever you see on the menu is available for catering. It’s the perfect choice for birthday parties, kids’parties, meetings, and team get-togethers. Ray’s Restaurant and Catering also works with schools and daycare centres to provide lunches for “pizza days.” If you are looking for something a little different at your next event, Ray’s also offers West Indian catering.

Pickering councillors question TRCA policies PICKERING -- Pickering councillors are asking the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to formally recognize their concerns on new policy proposals in writing, in order to make sure the issues are addressed before any policies are ratified. At a planning and development meeting on Sept. 3, councillors voted to back staff’s rec- ommendation that more discussion is need- ed on the new proposals. At issue are two transfer proposals that would see ownership of flood control infra- structure pass from conservation authorities to municipalities, potentially leaving them on the hook for large maintenance costs, and the transfer of authority for policy interpretation on natural heritage protections to conserva- tion authorities from the municipalities. “We have been receiving applications for development where natural heritage features have been removed, and the TRCA has been asking for monetary compensation for the loss of that feature so trees can be planted in a different location, but there’s no agreed upon formula for what the loss of 10 trees or a cer- tain number would be valued at,” said Cath- erine Rose, chief planner for the City. “We’re just saying it seems premature to approve a compensation protocol when we don’t know what that protocol will be. Right now the TRCA advises us on compensation, but this would mean they would now act as a regulatory body rather than an advisory body.” 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 5 , 2 0 1 3 10 P 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 5 , 2 0 1 3 11 AP Close to home REGISTER TODAY!

Next week’s video series on durham- region.com, we are with gardening guru Ken Brown. Mr. Brown is a certified horticultural judge and is a frequent speaker at horti- cultural meetings and seminars in Dur- ham. His writing and photography con- tinues to be published in several maga- zines and newspapers. Mr. Brown’s web page, http://www.gardening-enjoyed. com/, is a great source of advice, tips and updates on his own garden. He grows a wide range of vegetables and flowers in some innovative ways to maximize the use of space. Tune in, as we have a tip for every day of the week. Watch for fall cleanup tasks, tips for bringing plants indoors, harvest- ing, planting and more. Series breakdown: • Monday, Sept. 9: Harvesting the pota- toes Potato tops are starting to die down, it’s time to dig and store. • Tuesday, Sept. 10: Planting garlic The autumn is a perfect time to plant cloves. By late July or early August next year, they will be ready to eat. • Wednesday, Sept. 11: Removing pond vegetation All plant growth in your pond will wind up at the bottom as sludge. In a natu- ral pond, this can serve as compost that supports plant growth. However, in man- made ponds, it has to be cleaned out. Mr. Brown gets out his pruners for this seg- ment. • Thursday, Sept. 12: Planting spring flowering bulbs These bulbs are dormant when you get them and break dormancy only after a chilling period. Winter conveniently supplies this necessary cold period. • Friday, Sept. 13: Enjoying brussels sprouts This vegetable loves cool weather tem- peratures. • Saturday, Sept. 14: Final grass cut Cutting short will reduce matting of the grass in the spring and decrease the chance of cool season fungal diseases called snow molds. • Sunday, Sept. 15: Bringing part time houseplants indoors The return trip back into the house in the autumn also requires some prepara- tion. Insect control is important so that we do not create mid-winter problems and timing of the move indoors can also be critical. Mr. Brown shows you what plants to move indoors.

Principal Bonnie Noble of Bolton C. Falby P.S. in Ajax, and teachers Ruth Biles AlGham- mari and Christine Pemberton, both of East- dale Collegiate in Oshawa, and Linda Ring of Romeo Dallaire P.S. in Ajax also took part. TMA took off in 2005 when Ms. Loraine, also the director of missions for St. Paul’s, took part in a youth leadership camp, run by the church, in Hainamosa, a needy commu- nity outside of Santo Domingo. Dominican teachers noticed the co-operative learning, group-based strategies used by the Canadi- an educators and asked to learn more about this instructional approach. “At the end of the program, they said, ‘You’ve just given us a taste. You can’t leave us,” recalled Ms. Loraine. In 2007, TMA received charitable status, and it’s expanded each year. In 2013, 150 people took advan- tage of the free workshop. Thanks to a part- nership with a team from New York, N.Y., a group of Haitians also took it in. Belkis Guilamo, a Dominican-based teach- er and co-leader of TMA’s Dominican group, is extremely grateful for the leadership help. “In this project, I discovered my real voca- tion and passion,” she said from her home in the Dominican. “I put in practise my lead- ership and I learned how to organize work- shops.” She’s learned a lot about co-operative learning, something useful for the 50-pupil classrooms. “They feel they’re included in the learn- ing as opposed to being vessels,” Ms. Loraine said of the approach’s impact on students, adding in the beginning, the concept was very foreign to the Dominicans. But it’s proven to be most beneficial. “It’s easier for them to work with 50 stu- dents,” said Ms. Guilamo, who said teachers have learned to work in small groups with more efficiency. TMA also teaches that students learn dif- ferently, and ways educators can work with multiple intelligences. Throughout the week, certain teachers and principals from each school participate in special workshops where they’re taught how to share what they’ve learned with oth- ers. “Teachers use the strategies that they’ve learned and students are more motivated and excited in each class,” said Ms. Guilamo. TMA also provides “excellent tools for Dominican teachers,” she said. The entire experience impacts teachers, principals and even students in Durham as well. “I think it’s such a reciprocal relationship,” said Ms. Ovenden of Vaughan Willard. She learns a lot from the Dominican edu- cators as well. “I was sitting taking copious amounts of notes when they were doing activities too,” she said The entire experience made her very aware of her global commitment to educa- tion, something she’s felt compelled to share with others. “The biggest thing for me was having an experience like that, I don’t want to keep it to myself,” Ms. Ovenden said. So last year Ms. Ovenden gave Vaughan Willard students and staff a presentation on her experiences in the Dominican, some- thing she feels has rubbed off on the chil- dren. “I think it helps us build good citizens here and good global citizens,” she said. TMA hopes to expand its work to other areas of the country in the future, with a long-term goal of building a generation of young people better able to serve and sup- port their communities.

SubmiTTed phoTo Residents learn about video composition and social media in learning lab moya dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, e-readers, smartphones -- whatever your technological trouble, the Pickering Library has the answer. The Pickering Library’s Learning Lab focuses on improving digital literacy for all residents, with an emphasis on fun. “Digi- tal literacy skills are important for everybody because nowadays we interact with technol- ogy so much more,” said Kayhan Boncoglu, client services specialist and digital services librarian for the Pickering Public Library. “For the summer we wanted to focus on having fun so we went more with social media, such as Tumblr, and Pinterest,” he said of the Learning Lab, which offers free classes on different technological topics throughout the year. This summer the Pinterest class was the most popular, with participants learning how to set up an account and get started. “With Pinterest and especially Twitter, it’s one of those things where as soon as you log in there’s the ‘what do I do now’ factor,” Mr. Boncoglu said. “We always seem to have a lot of inter- est because there’s a lot of curiousity about these things. Everything we do in the class- es is to help kickstart people and show them the basics so they can go home and pick up where we left off and continue learning.” Seven Pickering residents gathered recently to get some tips on video composition, learn- ing about basics such as the rule of three, shooting techniques, angles and stabilization tips. “I do video for a hobby and I didn’t know about any of this stuff so I’ve learned so much,” said Lorna Murray, who adds she enjoys taking video of her kids. “I love technology, but I have to keep up to date because things are always chang- ing. These classes are whetting my appetite, so I definitely think I’m going to be using the tools I’ve learned. It’s nice because now I know what I’m talking about with my kids, they know so much more about all this tweet- ing and blogging than I do.” Dipchand Ramcharitar was also look- ing forward to improving his technological know-how. “It’s mostly curiousity, I take a lot of video but it’s the way you go about it, with this there’s a certain level of professionalism involved,” he said of the new skills he learned. “I usually learn technology stuff on a need- to basis but I want to go beyond that, maybe show off a bit.” While Mr. Boncoglu said the classes mostly attract older adults and seniors, Violet Gian- coulas, 25, decided to attend to pick up some new skills she could put on her resume. “I have a camera that I like to take pictures with so I thought I might learn more,” she said. “It could be a skill so if eventually I want to do something like this for work I will have a bit of skill already.” For more information about upcoming Learning Lab workshops, visit www.picnet. org Keep up with your kids: digital literacy learning at the Pickering library PiCKERiNG -- Kayhan Boncoglu instructed a Learning Lab at the Pickering Public Library focusing on tips on how to shoot and edit video. jaSon liebregTS / meTroland 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 5 , 2 0 1 3 13 AP �� INJURED?...We canHelp!

This occurs due to a decrease in the draining of fluid that is naturally produced within the eye. Primary glaucoma occurs in an otherwise healthy eye, and is most often secondary to breed and genetics. Secondary glaucoma occurs when there is increased pressure as a result of disease or trauma to the eye. The most common signs of glaucoma are swelling or bulging of the eye, pain, redness, discharge from the eye, cloudy or “blue”appear- ance to the eye & general poor doing. If not treated, glaucoma will quickly lead to blindness if the pressure in the eye is not reduced. Diagnosis is made with an instrument that measures eye pressure. Ask the Vet: What is Glaucoma?Written by Dr. Melanie Dell http://www.pethealthnetwork.com Treatment involves topical eye medications as well as pain control. In some cases that do not respond to treatment, surgical removal of the eye may be required in order to keep the pet comfortable.

I was reading hotline reports various birders had written on the long weekend, and some migrants were too hard to resist, such as 14 adult golden plovers and a long-billed dowitch- er in a stubbled wheatfield southwest of Ottawa. Or 35 golden and 50 black-bellied plovers on a sod farm near Beeton, along with a whimbrel, a buff-breasted sand- piper and seven other shorebird species. Not to mention 674 Hudsonian godwits, 7,311 semipalmated sandpipers and a lot of other goodies along James Bay ... four buff-breasted sandpipers among them. Some reports were from closer to home, right here in Durham Region. Elev- en shorebird species in the Nonquon Lagoons, including a red-necked phala- rope and a short-billed dowitcher. A red knot -- a beautiful shorebird whose num- bers have plummeted -- at Cranberry Marsh, and another at Lynde Creek. And more golden and black-bellied plovers on sod farms in Clarington. I love seeing plo- vers. By Labour Day Monday I was antsy, wanting to get out there and find some of those specialties myself. Only the grey, cloudy weather was all wrong for a wave of migration. Shorebirds would likely be coming in behind the cold front, and stop- ping off in puddles filled by thunderstorms that hadn’t happened yet. My ever-patient husband explained all this to me, and why waiting until later in the day might be more productive. Then with great tolerance he got his telescope and asked me where I wanted to go. “Sod farms,” I said with a grateful grin. Those buff-breasted sandpipers from the Arctic are short-grass specialists, and sometimes stop in sod fields in migration. I’ve never seen one, not for lack of trying, and would love to get the species on my life list. I have poignant memories of scan- ning sod fields around Courtice decades ago, when I first moved to Durham, hoping to spot them wading through the grass. We never did see one on Monday, nor any plovers. We didn’t even see wild tur- keys. Just families of crows, herds of Cana- da geese, a mob of ring-billed gulls follow- ing a disking machine pulled by a tractor, and countless mourning doves on hydro wires. High points were one beat-up red- tailed hawk swooping low, and a noisy family of kingbirds balancing on a barbed wire fence. Blessed with that magical abil- ity to fly, birds come and go, and some days you just aren’t lucky. But I loved it, wandering along coun- try roads lined with goldenrod, looking for birds. We stopped and picked our first wild apples, wincing at the tart, sour taste. The west wind was warm, and carried lus- cious smells -- of rain, of the earth, of far- away lakes and cottages. Plus a faint tang, ever so sweet, of wood smoke and burning leaves. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks.net or 905-725-2116. Durham outdoors writer Margaret Car- ney has more than 3,000 species on her life list of birds, seen in far-flung corners of the planet. margaret Carney The Great Outdoors See a video of the budgies on Facebook facebook.com/NewsDurhamKristensKritters Help Durham’s battered women, their children and pets Battered women often find it hard to leave their abusive husbands, and many times, pets play a big part in that. Abused women often want to leave their abuser, but according to the executive direc- tor of Bethesda House, abusers will often use pets to exact revenge, control their victim or hold the family hostage. “Of course it’s a very powerful tool for the abuser to have to hold over the women,” said Jaki MacKinnon. “They use that tool to the best effect.” In fact a 1998 study by Ascione and the Uni- versity of Denver found 45 per cent of women living with domestic violence reported they will not go to a shelter because it means leav- ing their pets at the mercy of an abusive part- ner. And 71 per cent of women who have fled abuse reported that their partner killed, harmed or threatened to kill or hurt the fam- ily pet. “In a worst-case scenario something dread- ful could happen to them,” said Ms. MacKin- non. “It’s past time we work with the animal welfare people to get this thing solved.” I’m learning about this issue now thanks to the four domestic violence shelters in Durham Region. They’ve decided to come together to try to find solutions. Although sometimes shelters can take in an abused woman’s pet, many times there is no space, and health and safety concerns arise. While staff currently try to make arrange- ments for the animals, the ultimate goal is to have a surefire system in place. “If women with animals are in crisis we need them to call us to try to figure some- thing out, but we can’t guarantee we can put it in the shelter,” Ms. MacKinnon said of the current situation. So on Sept. 26, the four shelters are hosting a community meeting that’s meant to be a first step in creating a comprehensive system of safe housing options and other creative supports for these pets. This could include foster placements, vet placements or afford- able services. All people, businesses, agencies and orga- nizations with an interest in animal welfare are invited to come. The system will hope- fully include plans for all types of animals, whether it’s the family dog or the horse the abused woman owns and rides. “The reason we’re asking the animal wel- fare people is that if their primary intent is the safety and well being of animals, work- ing with us protects the animals. The rela- tionship between animal abuse and domes- tic violence is well documented,” said Ms. MacKinnon. Those who go to the meeting are not com- mitted to attending more than once. Orga- nizers just hope to get as much input as possible. The goal, however, is to create a working group to come up with a system so abused women will know options are avail- able to keep their pets safe, and that they can leave their situation. The initiative is called Families Include Pets. I couldn’t agree more. What a great ini- tiative by these shelters, and hopefully some good discussion will come of the meeting. It takes place Thursday, Sept. 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Adelaide House, 33 McGrigor St., Oshawa. Those interested in coming, or with any questions, should contact Jaki MacKinnon at 905-623-6045, ext. 203 or director_bathes- da@rogers.com. Upcoming The Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary is hosting a yard sale, barbecue and bake sale this weekend, Saturday, Sept. 7 and Sunday, Sept. 8, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days at 2060 Concession Rd. 7, Pickering. Items for sale include glassware, art, small appli- ances, toys and more. All funds raised will go to the cats at the shelter. Also, Second Chance’s 2014 calendars are now available for $10.

Five people face more than 100 charges in connection with the incident, which saw a man shot after being approached by a group of people as he sat outside a Dreyer Drive res- idence just before midnight, Durham police said. The 26-year-old victim sustained a non life- threatening wound and the assailants fled on foot. Cops quickly rounded up five suspects and recovered a handgun. Investigators linked the gun to a home inva- sion early Sunday in Courtice during which a 69-year-old man was tied up while four sus- pects stole a quantity of firearms. Durham police have since executed a series of search warrants and recovered some of the guns but said Thursday others have yet to be recovered. Also Thursday, police released the names of those charged: Shane Roach, 25, of no fixed address faces 63 charges including robbery, aggravated assault, forcible confinement, pointing a fire- arm and other weapons offences. Charged with aggravated assault and weapons offences are Shane McGrath, 23, of no fixed address; Cody Collison, 27, of Down Crescent, Oshawa; Tristan Lewis, 18, of Cray- don Road, Whitby, and a 17-year-old Bramp- ton male. The Ajax shooting was not a random act, police said. AJAX -- Five suspects were taken into custody and face charges after a man was shot at a home on Dreyer Drive East in Ajax. Durham police said the gun used in the Ajax shooting was stolen during a home invasion in Courtice.

Free ParkinsonSuperWalk.ca Backwoods’ Players work features cast, crew from across Durham Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Durham residents who put on A Spirit Walk are amazingly loyal to the production. In its 18th year, the Backwoods’ Play- ers award-winning play is a true account of the conditions which led to the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, in which local people played a prominent role. And once again actors and crew members ranging from six to 77 years and living in virtual- ly every corner of Durham are bringing A Spirit Walk to Pickering Museum Village. Director John Edmonds says the com- pelling story, and the unique way in which it is told, make people want to be a part of it. Besides, in a relatively young country like Canada, history is hard to come by. “This is local, true history,” says the Oshawa resident. “I go to France and I see where DaVinci did some of his draw- ings and things like that and I’m thrilled. But now I’m here, and we’re walking where Peter Matthews walked.” Matthews, a Pickering Township farmer and soldier active in politics, led a group of local men to Toronto and was hanged for treason. Edmonds notes that a couple of Toronto people who got involved in the produc- tion while living in Whitby still take part. Wayne Ellis of Oshawa acts nowhere else. And Pickering’s Mark Kalzer, who has family members in A Spirit Walk, is play- ing his fifth role and didn’t let university get in the way. “When he was at the University of Otta- wa he came back for the weekend to be in the show,” Edmonds says. He likes to say that the story is told on the biggest stage in Durham, the village in north Pickering. “The audience takes a tour in time,” he says, noting the production covers the period from 1790 to about 1838. “Some of the scenes are outside, some of the scenes are indoors. You walk about a mile and a half, but you’re not always on your feet.” Outdoor fires and candlelight illumi- nate scenes. Two years ago, descendants of the Ontario rebels from the U.S. attended the production while last year was the 175th anniversary of the rebellion, which was quickly put down by the British military. Between 400 and 800 rebels were arrest- ed for their part in the uprising. Some were sent home, many were banished to Tasmania and others escaped eastward to Oshawa, where the harbour master rode the group across the lake. Shows are Sept 13, 14, 20, 21 and tickets are $18. For tickets, visit pickering.ca or call the museum at 905-683-8401.

To say the Ontario Junior Hockey League club has struggled the past few seasons would be an understatement, supported by their 13-37-5 record last season. But in six exhibition games to kick off the new campaign, the Panthers won four, includ- ing the last three in a row. Sign of things to come? Well, we’ll see when things begin for real this weekend when the Panthers open the regular sea- son on Friday night when they host Bur- lington at 7:30 p.m. and Newmarket on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Both games will be at the Pickering Recreation Complex. “It’s always important when you’re win- ning. It’s always the best thing,” said Gala- ti of the team’s winning record during six exhibition games. “It doesn’t say a lot, it’s a bunch of rookies playing rookies in some of those games. You don’t really get the best idea. “It’s some indication that things are going in the right direction.” The Panthers will be a younger team than the one a year ago, and will be look- ing for some of the players on last year’s roster to step up and play a bigger role, said Galati. Gone is the team’s leading scorer, Andrew McCann, traded to Tren- ton in exchange for Michael Walker, a Pickering resident who had 1-6-7 point totals in 24 games last season with the Golden Hawks, and Mike Nedoszytko, who played in 46 games with 9-19-28 numbers. The Panthers second leading scorer, Jeff Heard, has gone away to school, and the fifth leading scorer, Aidan Wallace, is expected to stick with the Oshawa Gen- erals. Galati will rely on veterans Brodie Tutton and Nicholas Lepone to carry the load on offence. Tutton was third on the team last sea- son with 16 goals and 14 assists, while Lepone, acquired at the trade deadline from St. Michael’s, led the team in scoring during the pre-season. “Everyone’s a year older, so the guys like Tutton, who scored 16 goals, are expect- ed to score 20 or 25. Guys like Lepone, should step up and be better players in the league,” said Galati. “We’ve addressed the back end. I think our d is a lot better than year’s past. If the guys who scored a bit last year score a lot more this year I think we’ll be fine.” A couple of new puckstoppers will tend goal. Galati swung a deal to acquire Ste- ven Dombrosky, who played in the Dud- ley Hewitt Cup last season with the Soo Thunderbirds, while Paolo Battisti, a Windsor native, will serve as the backup. The schedule has been kind, or unusu- al, to open the season for the Panthers, with five games in a row at home before having to get the away jerseys out of stor- age. “It’s worked out weird at the start. I’ve never seen that before at the start,” said Galati. “It’s something that should be in our favour. If we come off with a good start at home, it will be a good way to start the season.” The Panthers are in the league’s North Division this season with Aurora, Stouffville, Lindsay and Newmarket. PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers’ Brodie Tutton, number 88, will be expected to lead the Pickering Panthers offence this season. SaBrina ByrneS / Metroland Justin Bean signed by Bulls BELLEVILLE - Justin Bean has made the jump to the next level. In fact, considering the jump he made was from Jr. C to the OHL, it was more like a hop, skip and a jump. Belleville Bulls GM/head coach George Burnett announced Sunday that the club has signed Bean, a defenceman, to an OHL standard players agreement coming out of training camp. Bean was last year’s Central Ontario Jr. C Rookie of the Year, who despite being a 1996-born player, was selected by the Bulls in the ninth round this past spring. Bean comes from the Uxbridge Bruins Jr. C program after a standout season where he had eight goals and 24 assists in 40 games from the back end. The smooth skating Pickering native stands six foot one, 176 pounds and features a range of quality aspects to his game. “Justin’s development path has been different than a lot of other players his age,” said assistant GM Barclay Branch. “We saw him playing in Uxbridge this season where he accomplished a lot of great things. He is intelligent, a strong skater and can move the puck well. We’re excited to see Justin’s progression here in a Bulls uniform.” Bean played all of his minor hockey with the Triple-A Ajax/Pickering Raiders. When he wasn’t drafted in his minor midg- et year into the OHL, he used the snub as motivation for last season. “I was hoping I would, so of course it was disappointing when I didn’t get draft- ed,” said the Dunbarton student following a league game last season. “But I used it as motivation and tried to work harder in the summer and prove everyone wrong.” He skated with Tier II junior teams in Markham, Cobourg and Wellington, but didn’t catch on, so he turned to the Jr. C loop to kickstart his junior career last sea- son.

Generals to play in Ajax, Pickering WHITBY -- The Oshawa Generals will begin a mini tour of Durham Region Sun- day in Whitby, where they will team up with Whitby minor hockey to benefit con- cussion awareness and minor hockey development. The Generals, gearing up for the 2013- 14 Ontario Hockey League season, will play the first of three exhibition games in a span of four nights when they entertain the Niagara IceDogs 2 p.m. Sunday at the Iro- quois Park Sports Centre. They’ll stay in Durham for games against the Peterborough Petes Tuesday in Ajax and the Kingston Frontenacs Wednesday in Pickering, both starting at 7 p.m. The Generals opened the pre-season Monday in Peterborough with a 3-2 win over the Petes. Bradley Latour led the way with two goals and an assist, while Cole Cassels scored the other and Daniel Alt- shuller played the full game in net, making 19 saves. They are back in action Thursday, Sept. 5, in St. Catharines against the IceDogs, and in Kingston the next night to face the Fron- tenacs. The Generals open the regular season Sept. 19 in Windsor, the first of three road games prior to the home opener on Sun- day, Sept. 29 against the Kitchener Rangers at the General Motors Centre. Pickering’s Pestell wins golf tournament OTTAWA -- Pickering resident Connor Pestell travelled to Ottawa to participate in a Canadian Junior Golf Association golf tournament held at the Loch March Golf and Country Club. The CJGA had this tree-lined course set up long and challenging for these young golfers at 5,500 yards with water hazards on eight of the 18 holes. With the help of a birdie on the toughest par three on the golf course, Pestell, 11, pulled off a vic- tory against competitors up to 13 years old. His success in Ottawa came shortly after his participation at the Veritas World Junior Golf Championships in Pasade- na, California. Pestell placed 10th at this prestigious tournament on his first trip representing Canada at a world champi- onship. 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 5 , 2 0 1 3 24 AP Advertisement My name is Madeleine Fournier.

Many people with arthritis and other musculoskeletal condi-tions are sensitive to changes in the weather. When the temperature goes up or down or the barometric pressure shifts, their symptoms get worse.This phenomenon is common but not well under-stood. Whatever the cause, being sensitive to the weather doesn’t appear to inﬂ uence the course of arthritis. If the symptoms are made worse by weather changes, it may help to temporarily increase pain reliever use.Another temperature-related condition that affects some people with arthritic disorders is called Raynaud’s phenomenon, according to Mayo Clinic experts. In re-sponse to low temperatures — or strong emotions — blood vessel spasms in the hands and feet cause the skin to change colour. The ﬁ ngers or toes ﬁ rst turn white or blue and then red. Raynaud’s may also cause tingling, numbness or pain in the affected areas.

Thank you to relatives, friends and neighbours for the cards, flowers and donations to charities. Special thanks to Rev. Michelle Brotherton from Fenelon Falls United Church for the beautiful service and her continuing support. Also very special thanks to the entire staff of Complex Continuing Care 2 North at Rouge Valley Health Ajax Hospital and Drs. Stas and Price who gave the absolute best care and compassion imaginable over the few months Wilhelmena was there. The words "Thank You" seem inadequate for all who attended the visitation and funeral, visits to the hospital and those who provided care -- you all know who you are without saying names. However those two words are genuine, sincere and heartfelt. GARAGE SALE 1201 Engel Court (Whites Rd. south from 401 to Callahan) Sat. Sept 7, 8am - 2pm (rain date Sun. Sept 8) Great stuff!
