SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND Claremont celebrates 175 years Heritage Festival to mark milestone and celebrate community spirit MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The citizens of Claremont are invit- ing all Pickering residents to help them celebrate 175 years as a community. The north Pickering community was little more than dense forest when Joshua and Joseph Wix- son settled the area in the late 1700s, establishing homesteads and becoming prominent members of the community. Joshua was elected elder of the first Baptist church, while Joseph was appointed to the municipal council of Pickering in 1811. “I’ve learned a lot,” said Toni Doyle, a member of the planning committee for the event and long-time resident of Claremont. “It was such a thriving com- munity in the 1800s when you start looking into it.” To celebrate that history, the community will host a Heritage Days Festival from Sept. 20 to 22, with events, activities and historical tours. Participants can learn little-known facts about the area, such as the fact that famous Canadian painter Tom Thom- son of the Group of Seven was born there. “Claremont is like a secret garden, a lot of people have never heard of it,” said Aileen Provan, another committee member.

An extra day of being open during the summer led to more food being given out and now more is needed for the Thanksgiving food drive. While the food bank is open Tuesdays and Fri- days during the year, it usually reduces to only Tuesday hours during the summer months. How- ever, staff made the decision to stay open both days throughout this summer in order to meet increasing demand for the organization’s services. “We figured we would try it as an experiment, and as long as our volunteer base held up, we would open two days a week in the summer,” explained Margaret Jocz, director of the food bank. “We found because of the increased number of clients coming in, we would end up working hard- er than we needed to being open only one day, so that was our experiment and it worked, and our volunteers were wonderful.” In August the food bank served 242 people, compared to 182 people in August 2012. “That equates to about 686 people we fed that month,” Ms. Jocz explained, as one person often picks up food for an entire family. “We generally feed about 650 people every month, and by the end of 2013 we expect to have served more than 8,000. Every year we serve more and more clients and more and more people need our services.” That need is driven by a shaky economy, where wages aren’t rising in tandem with price increases, leaving many people holding on by a string. “If your paycheque is late by one week now, people feel that strain,” she explained. “We have so many people living just so close to the edge.” Now Ms. Jocz is reaching out to the community to help replenish supplies for the annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. “We just want to thank the community because without their support we couldn’t help the people who are in need, we are completely dependent on the community,” she explained. “People know the need and they respond to it once they know it’s there.” The food bank is in need of cereal, tea, coffee, peanut but- ter, jam, Cheez Whiz, juice and juice boxes, lunch snacks, Jello, cookies, crackers, sugar, flour, dry soups, desserts, canned fruit and vegetables, stew, chili, soup, pasta sauce, canned pasta, baked beans, tuna and canned meats. Donations can be dropped off at participating grocery stores in Ajax and Pickering, including Sobeys, Freshco, No Frills, Metro, Independent and Loblaws, as well as area fire halls. Volunteers are also needed to perform pickups on an on- call basis during the drive. They must have a van.

After seven years in Syria, the family has grown accustomed to the unknowns of war, such as knowing anytime you say goodbye to a family member could be the last. For Sabah A. Shamon and his wife, Hay- faa, that fear almost became a reality when Hayfaa went to the market and was startled by a nearby explosion on her way home -- an explosion that destroyed the market she had just left. “I came home shaking and crying,” she recalls through interpreter Jean Khabouth, a member of St. Isaac Jogues church refu- gee committee. Mr. Shamon, meanwhile, had also seen the explosion, and assumed his wife had been inside when it happened. “I thought she was dead,” he said. “It was awful there. Every time someone had to go shopping, you wouldn’t know if that person was coming back or not.” Indeed, travelling one block in the war- torn country could take up to an hour, as pedestrians had to dodge and wait out snipers and other threats. The fam- ily arrived in Syria in 2006 as refugees from religious persecution in their native Iraq. They planned to move on to another country from there but red tape, and the outbreak of war, delayed them. “We started this process in 2011 when we, as a parish, decided we were going to help one of these persecuted families,” said Joe Przybylo, chairman of the refu- gee committee, of the Shamon family, who arrived this month. Members of the parish raised more than $50,000 to support the family for a year, as well as pitching in with donations of fur- niture and more. The initiative was undertaken as part of a larger program, by Toronto Archbishop Thomas Cardinal Collins, which encour- ages all churches to reach out and help bring Christian refugees to Canada. The effects of religious persecution in Iraq are clear in the decline of the Christian popu- lation, which decreased to about 200,000 in 2010, compared to nearly 1.8 million Christians living in Iraq in 2000. “It’s bittersweet, because Christiani- ty as a whole started in the Middle East, and because of all the wars we’re actually plucking all the Christians out from their homeland,” Mr. Khabouth explained. “We’re bringing them here to save their lives, so obviously we’re happy about that, but the Christian population in the Middle East is dwindling.” In Syria, where the four-person Shamon family shared a bachelor apartment, they subsisted on the aid of churches and international organizations such as the UN. Although they were earlier offered refugee status in the U.S., the family held out for Canada after forging a relationship with the parishioners of St. Isaac Jogues. “Over there it was hard to survive, but here it is a much better country,” Mr. Shamon said. “From what we heard Canada was a bet- ter country than most, so we wished to come here.” For his adult children, Lina and Akbar, Canada is a land of opportunity. “I’m happy to be here and excited and capable of studying,” said Lina, who has been trained as an esthetician, although she may pursue a new career. “Now that I’m here I can do and pursue anything I want.” Her brother, trained as a plumber, plans to continue his trade here. While the family is still settling in, and has a long road to citizenship ahead of them, for the Parish of St. Isaac Jogues, the project is already a success. “These refugees are a gift to Canada,” Mr. Przybylo said of the Shamon family. “Something they understand is the free- dom available in Canada. They are going to integrate and make many contribu- tions, and we are here to help and sup- port them. It’s early to say but I think we might try this again someday with anoth- er family, we want to help as much as we can.” Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?

Man walks into traffic then drives off in vehicle involved in collision, police say PICKERING -- Police are searching for a male pedestrian who caused a collision by stepping out into traffic in Pickering, then made off with one of the damaged vehicles. Just before 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16 a man walked into traffic on Kingston Road near Steeple Hill Drive, causing a two-vehi- cle collision, police say. Both drivers were eastbound on Kingston Road. While the first vehicle stopped immediately, managing to avoid the pedestrian, the second vehicle couldn’t stop in time and hit the first vehicle. While EMS was at the scene treating the second driver, who suffered minor injuries, the pedestrian got into the second vehicle and drove away, police said. The damaged Mitsubishi was later found abandoned near Warden Avenue and Hwy. 401, but the male suspect was not found. The second driver, a female, was given medical treatment at the hospital and released. Police are trying to identify the pedestri- an, who is described as a black male, five- feet 10-inches tall, 250 pounds with a heavy build, brown hair and was last seen wearing dark clothing.

Thanks for telling us about the costs to tax- payers of Councillor Doug Dickerson. The report was far too soft, failing to remind readers of his conduct in storing cases of booze paid for with campaign donations. How sneaky is that? And thanks for the editorial, which was also far too soft. Why should taxpayers ante up nearly $300,000 to shoulder the cost of Coun. Dickerson’s behaviour? The editorial didn’t take it to the next step of questioning what is wrong with our dem- ocratic institutions, namely our so-called court justice system. What is “just” about Coun. Dickerson both admitting guilt and at the same time being allowed to retain his seat? Shame on the judge. And where is our mayor when the taxpayers need protecting? What a wimpy response. So we stick thousands of dollars in a fund ahead of time because we know elected offi- cials are going to misbehave? Woe to the impoverished taxpayer who is given no such aid. Coun. Dickerson could have saved him- self and us money if he’d just fessed up in the first place. I am enraged that it is me and my fellow taxpayers who are on the hook. This is not right. If the rules permit this, then change the rules. And Coun. Dickerson should do the hon- ourable thing and resign. His credibility is nil. No other outcome is acceptable. Doris Hopper-Riede Pickering Driving a privilege, not a right To the editor: Re: ‘Durham school zone safety blitz num- bers alarming’, editorial opinion, durham- region.com, Sept. 11, 2013. I am somewhat surprised that Durham Police were surprised by the volume of tick- ets handed out during the safety blitz. Those who drive the streets of Whitby and Durham Region constantly see vehicles travelling well over the posted speed lim- its, even in school zones. Many drivers for- get that driving is a privilege and not a right. Perhaps a drastic increase to the fines for all driving violations might be a way to address the problem. As everyone knows, common sense is no that longer common. Mark Schofield, Whitby Fines don’t go far enough We’re calling on Councillor Doug Dick- erson to voluntarily remove himself from the Veridian board and the posi- tion of deputy mayor to demonstrate that Pickering politicians who break the rules are accountable -- to the City and its citizens. Monday night’s council meeting was a noisy affair as a full house of residents attended to see if the councillor would be forced to accept these penalties, after a motion put forward by Coun. Bill McLean. But in the end, a tie vote meant that they would not be implemented. Mayor Dave Ryan and councillors Kevin Ashe and David Pickles voted against it and were jeered by the crowd. If you recall, Coun. Dickerson in the summer pleaded guilty to two contra- ventions of the Municipal Elections Act, including filing an inaccurate financial statement, which included a purchase of nearly $15,000 in alcohol that was not used during the 2010 election cam- paign. It’s ironic that Coun. Pickles was one of the dissenters to Monday’s motion, as in March 2012 he applauded coun- cil’s Code of Conduct, noting it was “an opportunity to send a collec- tive commitment to the residents of Pickering.” Mayor Ryan at the time spoke of the code speaking to “accountability and transparency.” But on Monday night Coun. Pickles argued the matter had already been set- tled in the courts and therefore was out of council’s hands. We disagree. Yes, Coun. Dickerson has been embar- rassed and made to pay tens of thou- sands in fines and to the City. But it’s not enough: where is his personal, pub- lic apology to the entire city? What is Pickering council’s response to his mis- deeds and admission of guilt? There must be accountability to the City and its residents and, in our estima- tion, if Coun. Dickerson made some sort of public statement about this and vol- untarily removed himself from the dep- uty mayor and Veridian board positions, there would at least have been some local consequences for his wrongdoing. At least some sense that he got the mes- sage. More irony in that Coun. Dickerson removed himself from council cham- bers when the issue was discussed, as was appropriate, but spoke to it when he returned and it had been dealt with, something he should not have done. And was Coun. Dickerson contrite? No, he lashed out at Coun. McLean. The 2014 election will provide Pickering residents in his ward with the opportunity to send a message to Coun. Dickerson and all Pickering politicians: we will hold you accountable for your actions. Pickering councillors who voted against the censure motion certainly did not. --- Pickering News Advertiser email responses to newsroom@durhamregion.com e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ durhamregion.com du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 1 9 , 2 0 1 3 9 APDurham Public, Catholic school students near par with provincial average Annual provincial testing results released Sept. 18, Grade 9 results to come Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Grades 3 and 6 students in the Durham public and Catholic school boards have officially been graded in reading, writing and math, and parents can see how their chil- dren’s school stacks up against others across the province. The results of the latest tests by the Educa- tion Quality and Accountability Office were released Sept. 18. The Grade 9 results will be released next week. In the Durham Catholic District School Board, 70 per cent of Grade 3 students met or surpassed the provincial standard when it comes to reading; 77 per cent met or sur- passed it in writing; and 66 per cent met or surpassed it in math. The reading number is the same as last year, the writing number has dropped by four per cent, and the math number has dropped by five per cent. For Grade 3 students in the Durham District School Board, the percentage has increased from last year by two per cent to 68 per cent in reading; the writing number has increased from 75 per cent to 77 per cent; but the aver- age in math has dropped from 70 per cent to 68. For Grade 3 students, the provincial stan- dard is: 68 per cent in reading, 77 per cent in writing and 67 per cent in math. For Grade 6 Catholic students, the number of students meeting or surpassing the provin- cial average has increased from 78 to 80 per cent in reading, from 78 to 80 per cent in writ- ing, but it dropped from 61 per cent to 59 per cent in math. In the public board, 78 per cent of students -- up from 76 per cent last year -- have met or surpassed the provincial standard in reading. In writing, 76 per cent of students met or sur- passed the average -- up from 74 per cent last year -- and in math, the number has stayed the same at 55 per cent. The provincial averages for Grade 6 stu- dents are: 77 per cent in reading, 76 per cent in writing and 57 per cent in math. As for the schools that continue to struggle, a number of factors will play into the students’ success, such as being well-rested and ready to learn, said Durham public board superin- tendent Luigia Ayotte. “We know that our schools are all different,” she said. “We know some schools face fairly significant challenges. That’s not to say they can’t learn -- they can, we know that. What we need to do is put additional resources into place.” Ms. Ayotte said the board has implement- ed math strategies that should pay off in the future. “But as you know it takes time, so this year we’re hoping to see some very signifi- cant changes.” Durham Catholic board superintendent Gerry O’Reilly said the EQAO results are one of many pieces used for both board and school improvement plans. “It’s a snapshot of how our students are doing at a particular time,” he said. Bowmanville’s St. Joseph Catholic Elemen- tary School, in the Peterborough Victoria Nor- thumberland and Clarington Catholic Dis- trict School Board, is one of 14 schools being profiled in the EQAO’s Provincial Elementary School Report for its committed efforts and success improving student achievement. “Our staff is highly motivated, open to new initiatives and willing to take risks to improve student learning. The evidence from EQAO data informs our decision making,” said prin- cipal Stephen Smith in a press release. Overall, the Kawartha Pine Ridge Dis- trict School Board continued to maintain improvements but officials noted there is room for improvement with math. “As is the case with the rest of the province, our students continue to need mathematics support. We know there are no magic solu- tions to address this issue. Our staff members continue to work hard, research, collaborate and test the best ways to help our children with mathematics learning,” said W.R. Hicks, director of education with the Kawartha board.

We want to carry on their legacy in terms of bring- ing people together for fun events. There’s not a lot here, but when we come together, historically it’s made for great times.” “It’s like an oasis inside the air- port lands,” said fellow committee member Brian Welsh of the vil- lage. “As we grow and the village gets bigger, we want to make sure new people are drawn in and get to experience that community feel.” But the event isn’t just for Cla- remont residents; organizers are hoping to attract guests from out- side the community to come and experience the charms of the vil- lage. “We would like the larger com- munity to be aware of the history here and just aware of the com- munity itself,” Ms. Doyle added. “We want people to see what a great place this is.” The events kick off Friday with a corn roast at 5:30 p.m. On Saturday the day’s activities begin at 10 a.m. with the Horses to Horse Power parade, featuring different modes of transportation from the past 175 years, opening ceremonies and a tree planting will be held at 10:45 a.m., with kids’ activities, a vendor marketplace, horse-drawn wagon rides, historic village tours, food and live entertainment to fol- low. Among the community gems on display will be the historic Mason- ic Hall, built in 1857 as a town hall. Visitors can tour the building and enjoy an afternoon tea complete with tea readings. “We don’t want to keep Claremont a secret,” Ms. Provan said of the celebration, noting if it proves a success the committee may look at making it an annual event. “There are lots of events for kids and families so we hope every- one will come out and enjoy it.” A special Tom Thomson exhibit will be run- ning in the Claremont Community Centre beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday. And on Sun- day residents can enjoy a 9 a.m. charity run, followed by an interdenominational service and potluck lunch at 11 a.m. For more information, visit www.claremont- community.ca.

During a subsequent search, police found a gun case and ammu- nition linked to the Czech-made pistol in a Scarborough storage unit, court heard as the first-degree mur- der trial of Vijay Singh and John Le continued in Oshawa. The men are accused of kidnap- ping and murdering Harjinder Singh Sandhu, 29, of Brampton, and 26-year-old Puneet Singh Chhina, of Nepean, whose bodies were found May 5, 2009 in the trunk of a Nissan Altima abandoned on Rosebank Road. The Crown alleges the two men were executed after a shipment of cocaine belonging to Mr. Singh went missing. Responding to the scene after the discovery of the bodies was Dur- ham police forensics officer Andrew Groves, who testified he escorted the coroner to the car in which the two bodies, heavily bound with duct tape, lay. “(The coroner) looked over and said, ‘Whoa. There’s a gun in the trunk’,” Detective Constable Groves said. “The firearm was between the two deceased persons,” he told prosecu- tor George Hendry. The officer said he recovered a .45 calibre CZ semi-automatic hand- gun which bore “biological matter” on the muzzle. Jurors heard earlier both men died of gunshots to the head fired from close range. As the investigation into the kill- ings continued, Durham police exe- cuted a search warrant at a Scarbor- ough storage locker, inside which they found a cache of weapons that included handguns, AK 47 assault rifles and ammunition, court heard. Among the items seized was a plas- tic CZ gun case inside which police found ammunition magazines and bullets, Det.-Const. Groves testified. During his opening address, pros- ecutor Jinwon Kim told jurors he expects they’ll hear evidence that the locker was rented by Mr. Singh, and that bullets found inside it bore “cycling marks” from the gun found with the bodies. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Bryan Shaughnessy, contin- ues in Oshawa. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 1 9 , 2 0 1 3 12 AP • PICKERING - Pickering Town Centre Next to Sears (905) 420-0271 • AJAX - 1 Westney Rd at Hwy #2 (905) 686-2182 goodlifefitness.com/newclubs no money down no enrolment* only $9Per week (on a 1 Year Membership) JoinToday 8 weekSFree dlif fit / l b *Based on the purchase of a 1 year membership.

Ryan PfeiffeR / metRoland Canoeing back to nature fills up the senses We snuck in under the wire, my hus- band and I, but we did it. I learned a long time ago that I need to spend time each summer out canoeing -- far from cars, roads and people -- to really feel centred and at peace. Three weeks is ideal, but even a one- week canoe trip works as a prescription for inner health. It’s the best thing about living in Cana- da, this hauntingly beautiful land -- that you can go floating off into a clean, fra- grant, balanced world where nature is still intact, and find yourself. There’s always some commitment looming, of course, and summer slides by before you know it. The week after Labour Day, running out of time, Dennis and I finally decided to just drop everything and haul out the camping gear. And 24 hours later we were gliding up a quiet stream to a little lake with a rocky point, where we set up the tent and strung up the food packs as the setting sun tinged the sky a pretty, very promis- ing pink. Great start to a week in paradise. Yes, some nights were nippy, some days chilly, but we warmed up by lug- ging canoe and packs over portages, glad we’re still able to do it. I happen to love rocks, and our route took us up and over some spectacular ridges of granite that had been scraped bare by glaciers and kept that way by for- est fires, nature’s way of renewal. We figured the watershed we were pad- dling in had been last burned back in the 40s, likely set ablaze by a lightning strike. While the lakes were surrounded by fast- growing white pines, the rocky highlands housed open oak savannahs. It was a good summer for acorns, and blue jays were screaming everywhere. Leave it to Dennis to notice something interesting. We camped a few nights on an island that hadn’t been burned, and he found several species of trees that didn’t exist on the mainland, where the soil must have been so severely scorched that even seeds carried in by birds couldn’t sprout. Hemlocks, white cedars, balsam fir; ironwood, sugar maples, basswood ... It would likely take another century for enough soil to build up and those spe- cies to slowly re-establish themselves across the landscape. But Mother Nature has lots of time. Our last night out there, around 4 a.m., I was woken by low rumblings that grew into one of the more dramatic, crash- ing thunderstorms I’ve ever experienced while lying in a tent. The cracks, bangs and flashes went on for an hour and a half, while I thought about forest fires being doused by pounding rain, and how lucky I was to have a good little tent, set up on a well- drained site surrounded by pines.

A South Carolina dog is being called a hero for alerting his owners to an abu- sive babysitter. When the usually friend- ly and playful family dog, Killian, started becoming aggressive toward the babysit- ter, and protective of the baby when the sitter would enter the house, the couple grew suspicious. They placed an iPhone under the couch and recorded what went on when they were away, and learned that the woman had been abusing their seven- month-old baby. Alexis Khan, 22, pleaded guilty to assault and battery last week and faces one to three years in prison. A friend pointed out that often, dog own- ers might ignore these signs and simply assume the dog is aggressive and give him up. This couple was smart enough to real- ize Killian was trying to tell them some- thing, and it paid off. According to the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, there is usually a reason for a change in your pet’s behaviour. This could include a change in the environment, such as a move, or per- haps underlying medical issues. Visit bit.ly/14MX3bx for more informa- tion on signs, reason and how to address unusual behaviour. Also, if you’ve noticed some bad behav- iour from your dog since the kids start- ed going back to school, or since you’ve gone back to work after a summer off, your pooch could be suffering from separation anxiety. According to dog behaviour spe- cialist Cesar Millan’s website, separation anxiety manifests itself in erratic behav- ior, such as excessive barking and whin- ing, frantic clawing at doors, windows, or fences to get out, chewing of furniture and going to the bathroom in the house. Cesarsway.com says what your dog needs is a simple routine to ensure he gets enough attention and exercise, start- ing with a walk or playtime outside each morning. When it’s time to leave, pet your dog, but don’t get emotional because they can sense your emotions. If you’re upset, he will get upset. Distract him with a toy or leave a radio or TV on for anxious dogs. If possible, have someone in your fami- ly go home sometime during the day to let your dog out for some quick exercise. If no one in the family can do it, consider asking a neighbor, hiring a dog walker or taking your pooch to doggy daycare. When you come home for the day, again don’t make a big deal of it. If you act like you have been gone forever, he’ll probably think you’ve been gone forever. As hard as it sounds, it’s best to ignore your dog when you first get home. After a few minutes, calmly greet him and take him out to go to the bathroom. End the day off with some exercise too. Your dog has been waiting for you all day and probably has unspent energy. The cesarsway.com experts say a routine like this should help your dog adjust to the change. But they too insist keeping an eye on the symptoms. If they get worse or don’t improve, take your dog to a veterinarian to rule out any medical conditions that might be causing him to behave badly.

Kristen Calis Reporter Tips to help curb separation anxiety DURHAM -- When a dog acts out of character, he could be trying to tell his owners something. Some dogs experi- ence separation anxiety when kids go back to school after a summer spent at home. submitted Photo Many animals have a “third eyelid”located inside their lower lid.Cherry eye is a condition in which the gland within this eyelid prolapses.A red “bulge”appears at the inner corner of the eye.It may only appear periodically or may be large and always present.Cherry eye occurs when the attachment that anchors the gland becomes weak and breaks down.Certain breeds are pre-disposed such as Cocker Spaniels,Bulldogs,Beagles,Lhasa Apsos and Shih-tzus.Treatment includes surgical correction to replace and anchor the gland.Treatment should be per- formed as soon as possible to prevent complications such as dry eye (as the gland produces important lubrication for the eye).The gland returns to normal function shortly after surgery,although there is risk of the gland reprolapsing Ask the Vet:W hat is “Cherr y Eye”?Written by Dr.Melanie Dell http://www.veterinar ypartner.com again in the future.Once “cherry eye”has occurred in one eye,the pet is atincreasedriskofoccurrenceinthe opposite eye as well. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 1 9 , 2 0 1 3 15 APFREE UPGRADETO TRIPLE GLAZINGSave even more on your energy bills. *Applies to window purchases only.Available for new orders only Not available with any other offers or promotions.

The project, estimated to cost just over $1 million, includes a retrofit of the existing storm sewer system to provide water qual- ity treatment for 30 hectares of the Petticoat Creek watershed that were previously unser- viced, and complete road reconstruction including widening, replacing the existing asphalt sidewalk with concrete and adding a new sidewalk on the north side. Pickering residents help Canadian junior dragon boat team win in Hungary Area members of the Canadian junior dragon boat team were on hand at a council meeting on Sept. 16 to thank council for its sup- port in providing a grant to help the team travel to Szeged, Hungary for the world dragon boat racing championships in July. The team took home seven golds, five silvers and one bronze in the under-18 categories, also capturing the World Cup, which is awarded to the team with the highest medal count at the event. The team gifted council with a team photo, which Mayor Dave Ryan assured them would be hung with pride at City Hall.

Leeanna McLean Videographer Videos @ durhamregion.com Durham councillor wagers his moustache DURHAM -- Oshawa Regional Councillor Bob Chapman could be losing something right under his own nose. At the Durham council meeting on Wednesday, Coun. Chapman challenged Regional Chairman Roger Anderson to raise $1,000 to fight prostate cancer. If he does, the councillor will shave off his mous- tache at the end of October. The issue came up at the meeting when Coun. Chapman said it was Prostate Cancer Awareness Week. Coun. Chapman is a prostate can- cer survivor, having been diagnosed in 2009. “If he can raise $1,000, I’ll shave it off and start growing it again for Movember. But, he has to raise it,” Coun. Chapman said. In an e-mail, Mr. Anderson said he isn’t sure if he’ll take up the chal- lenge, as he has to ask Mr. Chapman if he’s serious. Upcoming municipal election to impact Pickering council schedule No meetings in October/November 2014 PICKERING -- Council will take a break next fall as residents elect their newest representatives. Council approved its new meeting schedule for 2014 at a meeting on Sept. 9. The regular council schedule will resume in the new year on Jan. 13, with regular breaks for the Fam- ily Day holiday in February, March break and the annual summer break in August. This year, however, will also see meetings cancelled in October, as politicians prepare for the Oct. 27 municipal election, and in Novem- ber, as new representatives are caught up on municipal processes. Meet- ings will resume once with the newly elected representatives on Dec. 8. Ajax Hwy. 401 ramp reopens after car rollover GO trains halted after Salem Road ramp accident Moya DiLLon mdillon@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The Salem Road eastbound Hwy. 401 ramp has re-opened to traffic after emergency crews removed a vehicle that had flipped off the ramp, landing between nearby train tracks. The single-vehicle accident occurred just after 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18. Police say a preliminary investigation found the driver of a Geo Tracker eastbound on the highway suddenly lost control and trav- elled across the highway before becoming airborne and going over the embankment beside the ramp, coming to rest between the GO Transit and CN railroad tracks, tempo- rarily suspending GO train service through the area. “Right now we don’t know if it was a med- ical condition or not,” said OPP Constable Dave Woodford of the cause of the crash. “There wasn’t much left of the vehicle so there’s not much we can do right now until we’re able to talk to the driver.” The 45-year-old female driver from Mis- sissauga, who was alone in the car, was extracted and transported by ambulance to a local hospital with critical but non-life- threatening injuries. The investigation into the accident is ongoing, and anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the vehicle before it went off the highway is asked to call Constable Lone of the Whitby OPP detachment at 905-668- 3388. All highway lanes and the Salem Road ramp are open to traffic and GO train ser- vice between Oshawa and Pickering has resumed. However, GO Train service between Pickering and Union Station remains suspended due to an investigation of a gas leak in the Scarborough area. AJAX -- An air ambulance had to be called after a car left the Salem Road ramp off the eastbound Hwy. 401 and landed on nearby train tracks. The driver had critical injuries and was airlifted to hospital. ryan pfeiffer / 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 1 9 , 2 0 1 3 21 AP ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT TO VOTE! durhamregion.com VOTING RUNS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 22 ND DON’T MISS OUT!

Pickering resident Lori Murray, who runs the music series with husband Paul, says they needed 20 or 30 more seats as they were always turning people away from shows at the previous venue, The Waterfront in Pickering. Annandale Golf and Curling Club is bigger and wheelchair accessible which, Murray notes, isn’t just a plus for patrons with physical challenges, but also for the bands and artists bringing gear in and out. Besides, Annandale, with its “cozy” main banquet room, seemed a great fit. “It really is a beautiful room,” Murray says. “When Paul and I went to check it out, we just looked at each other and said, ‘this is home’.” “It’s a whole new, exciting, fresh start.” Mega blues fans, the Murrays travel to see a lot of live music and thought it would be cool to bring an artist to themselves instead. It started as a one-off concert in 2009 but, 37 shows later, Music By the Bay Live has become a favourite of local music fans. Lori Murray notes all but three of their shows have sold out, adding that they were some of the earliest concerts before people knew about the series. Now, she says people from Hamilton, Orillia and Belleville come to Durham for blues music, often, Murray says, bypassing venues at home or close to it “because they like what we do. “We keep it intimate,” she says, noting there is always a meet-and-greet for fans at the shows. The calibre of entertainment is high since the Murrays focus on Juno and Maple Blues award winners. The 2013 season begins on Sept. 27 with a triple bill: multi-instrumentalist Al Lerman performing solo, followed by Jake Chisholm (trio) and Gary Kendall from the Downchild Blues Band performing with bandmates Tyler Burgess and Darran Poole.

The Provincial Women’s Hockey League club will have as many as 11 new faces in the lineup when they open the season Saturday at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre, hosting Nepean at 7:30 p.m. Needless to say, it’s going to take this team some time to come together. “Yes, definitely it’s going to be a slow process,” says head coach Wayne McDonald. “It’s going to take a while for some of the girls to get up to speed with junior. But some of the girls we got are from other junior teams, so it’s just a mat- ter of getting them simulated into the sys- tems we do.” What might be considered an encouraging sign was the result posted at a tournament in Stoney Creek this past weekend, where the Lightning advanced all the way to the semifinals, losing to Mississauga in a shootout. Mis- sissauga advanced and won the tourna- ment championship. Only one of the top nine point-getters from last year’s team returns, but it’s an important piece, in leading scorer Ken- nedy Marchment, who had 26-20-46 numbers a season ago, placing her sev- enth overall among the league leaders. “Kennedy is going to be a top-five player offensively in the league,” McDon- ald predicts. In goal, Jackie Rochefort has gradu- ated due to age, and Kassidy Sauve opted to return to her hometown of Whitby to play for the Wolves. The Light- ning will go with the tandem of Stephanie Sluys, who brings a veteran presence having played with Kitchener last sea- son, and Melissa Black, who moved up from the Aurora midget team. Last season the Lightning finished third overall in the league with a 27-6-2-3 record. McDonald is looking for big things again this season. “The goal for the team is a top-six. That’s the goal,” he says. The Lightning will play three games in a row on home ice to start the season, hosting London on Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m. and Southwest on Sept. 29 at 2:30 p.m. Panthers’ Shaw gets offensive Defenceman in on all six goals as Pickering earns three of four points Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- After the opening weekend of the regular season, Mike Galati tried to stress to his Pickering Panthers that their compete level had to be raised if they were going to have any kind of success. What he learned is that his club listens well. The Panthers earned three of four points in Ontario Junior Hockey League action in a pair of home games over the weekend, falling 5-4 in a shootout to Milton on Friday, then beat- ing Wellington 2-1 on Sunday. After two weekends the Panthers are on the plus side with a 2-1-1 record, col- lecting five of a possible eight points. “We had a really good weekend,” said Galati, using a phrase not often associ- ated with the Panthers. “We got a point out of Friday which was good, but we prob- ably deserved both points. We came back from a 4-2 deficit in the third and ended up taking it to overtime. I think we got the better of them in the third period and overtime, but just couldn’t finish in the shootout. “Sunday we put together a pretty good 60 minutes against a pretty good team in Wel- lington which is always good.” In the loss, the Panthers got third-period power-play goals from Tanner Shaw and Bro- die Tutton to pull even at 4-4, sending the game to overtime and eventually a shootout. Michael Walker, Tutton and Nicholas Lepone were all stopped in the shootout, while Shane Bennett scored the eventual winner for Milton. Walker had the other two goals for the Panthers, his second-period marker coming short- handed. In Sunday’s win over Wellington, Tutton and Walker both scored on the power play to lift the Panthers to victory. Tied 1-1 through two periods after a scoreless first, Walker’s goal 5:39 into the third period was the difference. Goaltender Steven Dombrosky was particularly sharp facing 34 shots in his fourth start in a row in net. “Sunday was his best game so far,” said Galati. “He’s an experienced goalie and had great numbers coming in. I think he’s needed a little time to adjust to our league and playing in Pickering. He’ll be even better in the coming weeks, hopefully.” Dombrosky was acquired from the Soo Thunderbirds just prior to the start of the season. Another player who had a huge impact on the weekend results was defenceman Tanner Shaw, who was in on all six goals, scoring once and adding five assists. “I liked him a lot when I saw him last year. Aurora was going in a different direction and he became available and we jumped at the opportunity. So far it’s worked,” said Galati of obtaining the 19 year old in a trade. The long homestand of five in a row to start the season at the Pickering Recreation Complex con- cludes Friday when the Panthers host Stouffville at 7:30 p.m. Saturday they get the away jerseys out for the first time with a game in Georgetown. PICKERING -- Tanner Shaw had a goal and five assists this weekend.

Log on to: durhamregion.com Death Notices PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E There’s nothing like the scent and shine of a new car. With a little help from Shammy’s Auto Detailing, even your old car can look new again. Commercial car washes don’t hold a candle to the kind of shine a proper detailing job can produce, and scrubbing, waxing and polishing can take up lots of valuable time that you don’t have. When you bring your vehicle to Shammy’s, they take care of all the hard work for you. There are several packages to choose from, from an exterior hand wash to a full detailing package that includes an engine shampoo, high speed polishing, paint sealant applicant, minor paint touch-ups and more! All of their detailing packages include an exterior wash, cleaning the rims, tires and wheel wells, cleaning the windows inside and out, interior vacuum, and interior wipe down. Choose from one of the premade packages or create your own custom package! To keep your vehicle looking great for longer, you can opt for one of the many protection services available. The fabric protection will protect your vehicle’s fabrics from stains and spills. The leather protection will help prevent cracking, stop fading and extend the life of the leather. The paint seal protection will shield your paint from fading and excessive oxidization, protect it from acid rain, repel UV rays, prevents surface corrosion and keeps that new car shine. The elements can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s exterior, causing rust and corrosion, which can be very expensive to fix. It’s far more affordable to prevent rust from occurring at all. Shammy’s offers two rust proofing services. The dripless oil system is an advanced treatment that offers superior results by leaving the protection where it should be - on your vehicle! The black asphalt undercoating and clear upper body rust protection is a long lasting rust protection system that lasts a lifetime. As an added bonus, it also acts as sound deadening for less road noise. In addition to detailing, Shammy’s offers a wide variety of services for your vehicle, including windshield repair/replacement, 3M Stone Chip Protection, paint-less dent removal, and minor touch-ups. Shammy’s Auto Detailing is located at 933 Dillingham Road in Pickering. For more information or to book an appointment, please call (905) 831-2444 or visit www.shammysauto. com. Shammy’s also offers free shuttle service for customers travelling to Pickering, Ajax and Whitby.
