The cuts has prompted area hospitals to examine the possibility of a merger between Rouge Valley Health Service and The Scarborough Hospital. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Residents warned about potential Ajax-Pickering hospital merger ‘‘What will happen to us with the merger, I would say we’re kind of a sitting duck.’ Carol Oates, bargaining unit president, Local 24 Ontario Nurses Association Ontario Health Coalition invites residents to take action on health-care cuts Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The Ontario Health Coali- tion is asking area residents to join it in protesting hospital cuts that prompted merger talks between Rouge Valley Health Services and the Scarborough Hospital. The Durham Health Coalition and the Friends of Ajax/Pickering Hospital joined forces to educate the public about what a merger would mean for the community during a meeting at the Ajax Pub- lic Library Oct. 29. “We want to challenge the pro- vincial government around fund- ing and challenge each other on what health care means to us,” said Trish McAuliffe, a steering committee member for the DHC. “We’re here to talk about the impact and what this means to us in the community. We’d like to come away with an action plan for the community to keep the Province accountable to the hos- pital terms and keep things on the up and up in our community.” Several health-care profession- als spoke at the meeting to share their concerns about a potential merger and the ongoing decline in government funding. “You have a wonderful hospi- tal in Ajax, it’s a very community feel,” said Carol Oates, bargaining unit president for Local 24 Ontar- io Nurses Association, who works at Rouge Valley and has been in nursing for more than 30 years.

Current Smokers by Municipality. Adults 18+, Durham Region, 3 Year Time Periods, 2001-2012 New study shows growing support for smoking bans in outdoor public spaces Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- New data on smoking in Durham is largely good news -- but it also contains some puzzling results. A study by the Durham Region Health Department says 18 per cent of Durham residents were current smokers in 2012, representing about 90,000 people. It’s a big number, but also a major decline from 2001 when 27 per cent of the local population smoked. Two thirds of those who currently smoke said they intended to quit soon. Broken down by municipality, Oshawa stood out with 24 per cent of its popu- lation currently smoking, "significantly" higher than the Durham average. To compare, 15 per cent of Whitby and Ajax residents were current smokers, and 19 per cent of those in Clarington were. Experts aren't sure why Oshawa's num- bers are so high. "We don't have any specific informa- tion around what is continuing to keep the rates high in Oshawa," said Janet Phillips, an epidemiologist with the health department. "We will start looking at how to dig a little deeper." The study also takes the pulse of local attitudes toward smoking in outdoor public places. It says 90 per cent of adults in Durham now support smoke-free playgrounds as well as doorways to public buildings and workplaces. Eighty-five per cent are in favour of smoke-free sports fields and spectator areas, while close to 80 per cent support smoke-free beaches and public patios. Ms. Phillips hopes the overwhelming numbers will help change the minds of those still opposed to the idea. "I think that can influence people's attitudes, they want to be part of the majority," she says. As of June 2013, 118 Ontario munici- palities have created bylaws to regulate smoking in outdoor public places. A recent report from the Region rec- ommends all Durham municipalities consider restricting smoking in out- door public places such as playgrounds, sports fields, outdoor pools and splash pads, off-leash dog parks and beaches. Uxbridge currently bans smoking with- in 10 metres of a municipal playground, while Scugog council voted in June to ban smoking at sports fields. Public health nurse Cynthia Rogers says any move to curb outdoor smoking needs to be coupled with help for those looking to butt out. "If we know we're making more places smoke-free, we have to have those sup- ports in place. It isn't just a matter of willpower on its own," she said. The health department currently offers free quit-smoking groups and can con- nect people to other community services -- such as pharmacists who offer smok- ing cessation counselling -- through the Durham Health Connection Line.

We need to watch what’s going on. I urge the community to get involved because you do have a good hospital and we need to keep services here.” Rouge Valley president and CEO Rik Gan- derton has previously said that services cur- rently offered at the Ajax campus will stay at the hospital if a merger happens. “We recognize growing services for the Ajax and Pickering communities and west Durham is a critical opportunity and part of this process will be to look at growing those services for the benefit of that community. There is no intention to move services out of the Ajax-Pickering campus to Scarborough or vice versa,” Mr. Ganderton said during a Sept. 24 telephone town hall meeting, where he and other speakers, including doctors and hospital staff, detailed potential benefits of a merger including increased human resourc- es, greater access to specialized services, increased efficiencies and better continuity of care. “We have made three commitments as part of this process,” he continued. “One is that the emergency departments at all four hospital sites will stay open, in addi- tion no hospital sites will close and patient- care services currently delivered at Rouge Valley Ajax-Pickering will continue to be delivered there.” The potential merger is currently being examined by several working groups made up of physicians, hospital staff, health-care professionals, residents and other stake- holders. An integration plan detailing how to move forward, including how services may be affected, will be presented to the hospital boards in November and made available for public input. At the Oct. 29 meeting, Natalie Mehra, director of the Ontario Health Coalition, noted budget decreases mean cuts will have to be made whether a merger happens or not. She cited the continuing decline in fund- ing for prompting $17 million in cuts at the Scarborough Hospital this year, and noted if the hospital systems merged, a further $28.4 million in cuts would need to be found by 2014/2015 to balance budgets. “We’re really concerned about the implica- tions of the proposed merger and the finan- cial challenges facing hospitals in Scarbor- ough and Ajax,” she said. “What we’ve heard is that no services will be moved from Ajax to Scarborough, but no one said services wouldn’t be touched at all. I think we need to see a plan of what are the actual service cuts before they move forward with any type of merger plan. Our experience has been that mergers don’t save money, they actually cost money.” Other speakers highlighted the effects of previous cuts, including reduced beds, extremely high occupancy rates at hospitals, reductions in scheduled surgeries, long waits for long-term care and home care, high rates of hospital readmission and more. About 40 residents were in attendance at the meeting, and they shared similar con- cerns regarding relocation of services, quick discharges from overcrowded hospitals, long wait times and more. “Hospital spending has declined the most steeply of any part of health care funding; Ontario is now at the bottom in Canada in terms of funding hospitals,” Ms. Mehra said. “The provincial government is curtailing funding and trying to force hospitals to shed services. We oppose this vision. We want community hospitals that provide a reason- able range of services and are there when we need it. We’ve already cut the hospital system to the bone, so we’re extremely concerned about what’s to come in the next couple years.” The Ontario Health Coalition is inviting concerned residents and health-care profes- sionals to join them for a Save Our Services Day of Action on Saturday, Nov. 9 in Scarbor- ough.

In a unanimous vote, council is asking for a review of the size of Veridian Corporate and Veridian Connections, the two entities that run the company. Ajax is one of four shareholders of Verid- ian, with a 32.1-per cent stake. The others are Pickering, with 41 per cent, Clarington with 13.6 per cent and Belleville with 13.3 per cent. Wards 3 and 4 Regional Councillor Colleen Jordan said, “The size of the Veridian board is considerably bigger, in some cases almost double” other utility boards.“Obviously, it’s too large. Its cost is almost double other boards. That says it’s too much,” she said. Veridian Corporate has 14 board members, including Coun. Jordan and Ward 3 local Councillor Joanne Dies. Veridian Connec- tions has 12 members, including both Couns. Jordan and Dies. Pickering councillor Doug Dickerson is the chairman of both the Corpo- rate and Connections boards. By way of comparison, Toronto Hydro has 12 board members, none a member of coun- cil, while Guelph Hydro has nine. Ottawa Hydro, with 305,000 customers, has a board of seven, and London Hydro, with 150,000 customers, has eight. Veridian has just over 116,200 customers. Coun. Jordan added, “It’s related to the number of directors. This is a very valuable asset. Ajax is its second largest shareholder. We need to ensure the shareholder’s asset is protected. It needs to be done. It needs to be done and done sooner rather than later.” Coun. Dickerson noted in an e-mail that he hasn’t seen the Ajax motion. “Having said that, it would seem a strange motion since Veridian’s Governance Com- mittee has already been charged with the task of reviewing Veridian’s board makeup,” Coun. Dickerson said. As a shareholder, last year Ajax received about $2.6 million in dividends from Verid- ian. On Now at The Brick! For more details go instore or online @thebrick.com.

According to results from a Durham Region health department study, 18 per cent of the region’s residents use tobacco, which amounts to approximately 90,000 people. That’s a big number, certainly, but is considerably smaller than it was in 2001, when fully 27 per cent of the region’s resi- dents were smokers. However, the benefits of giving up smoking -- better health, more disposable income, among other things -- aren’t hav- ing much of an effect in Oshawa, where 24 per cent of residents continue to light up. Comparatively, only 15 per cent of Whitby residents are smokers, as are 15 per cent of Ajax residents. Clarington came in at 19 per cent. The good news is that rates of smok- ing continue to decline overall; the better news is that Durham Region has a host of free programs and services to assist those who have made the commitment to a smoke-free lifestyle. That, coupled with emerging, more restrictive bylaws in Durham’s municipal- ities that regulate smoking in public areas should further reduce the numbers. And public attitudes toward smoking continue to evolve, as the study results show. More residents than ever support wider restrictions in outdoor public spac- es such as parks, sports fields and beach- es. Considering these three smoking-relat- ed developments in Durham -- the survey, the array of programs, and changing pub- lic attitudes -- it becomes apparent that there is no better time to attempt quitting tobacco than right now. The health benefits of smoking are wide- ly known: better cardiovascular health, fewer, shorter and less debilitating chest colds, a reduced incidence of cancers. Remember too that you’ll simply feel bet- ter, breathe easier and improve your sense of smell and taste. And depending on how much you smoke, you’ll save a tidy little sum of money every week. Quitting is hard -- really hard -- as any former smoker will attest. But it can be done. Nicotine replacement therapies are available and they work. Programs and support are available and they work. Smokers will have to take that first big step before any of it will work. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division ‘Ageism’ continues in our society To the editor: We live in communities that support and for the most part care for one another; how- ever we also live in communities that exhibit age discrimination. Discriminating against someone because of the stereotypes based on their age group is better known as “age- ism”. Just because someone is in a particu- lar age group does not mean that they act as the speculated stereotype. Not all teenagers smoke and shoplift, and not all elderly peo- ple are brittle and grouchy. We live in a society where stereotypes speak louder than actions. It should never be a social norm to group people together; who are you to judge someone without knowing them? According to shopliftingprevention. org “Approximately 25 percent of shoplifters are kids.” If only 25 per cent of shoplifters are kids, why is it that majority of teens who walk into local shops or convenient stores are fol- lowed or paid close attention? We need to create a society where actions speak louder than words, and where people do not believe everything that comes out of people’s mouths. Unless you have familiar- ized and socialized with every teenager and every senior citizen you cannot accurately judge or group them together. Nicholas Chin-A-Loy, Whitby Forget the rest, just let me have my Gouda cheese To the editor: Re: ‘Conservatives throw down gauntlet with media’, news, Canadian Press, durh- ramregion.com, Oct. 19, 2013. I had one of those jaw-dropping moments when I learned, after reading reports about the recent Throne speech, that I am getting more European cheese, a fact that makes me happy as a second-gen- eration Dutch Canadian immigrant who likes her Gouda. Then I read that there is a new war between the ruling Conservatives and the media which sent Ottawa reporters over to the NDP for their political reporting fix. I don’t understand it all. All I can think about is Spiderman. You know, with great power comes great responsibility. Conservative guys: be tough but fair. Media guys: be objective in your report- ing. As for me, I’m more interested in kitch- en table politics, so say what you want, but when my Gouda shows up at my kitchen table, I’ll be happy.

A semi-automatic handgun and a starter pistol were recovered and two local men are charged, Durham police said. Both incidents occurred Saturday.

Gun linked to Pickering murder accused: witness Ammo seized during homicide probe JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Forensic testing linked ammu- nition seized from a storage locker to a gun left at the scene of a double murder in Pickering, jurors have heard. There was “an agreement of characteris- tics” when the bullets, found by police in a locker linked to defendant Vijay Singh, were compared to other cartridges cycled through a .45 calibre handgun discovered in the trunk of a car along with the bod- ies of Harjinder Singh Sandhu and Puneet Singh Chhina, forensics expert Thomas van Drunen testified Tuesday. The Crown contends the forensic find- ings link the murder weapon to Mr. Singh. Mr. Singh and associate John Le have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the killings. The prosecution theory is that Mr. Sand- hu, a 29-year-old truck driver from Bramp- ton, was targeted because Mr. Singh believed he had stolen a 35-kilogram ship- ment of cocaine being smuggled into Can- ada from Los Angeles. Mr. Chhina, 26, was along for the ride on May 4, 2009 when Mr. Sandhu was lured to Mr. Singh’s house in Scarborough with an offer of cheap heroin, court has heard. The victims were found the next day, bound with duct tape and shot in the head, in the trunk of a rented Nissan Alti- ma abandoned on Rosebank Road in Pickering. Mr. Singh had brokered the cocaine deal for a high-ranking member of the notori- ous United Nations gang, court has heard. Forensic evidence is an important part of the Crown’s case. Jurors have heard that traces of blood from both victims were detected during an examination of Mr. Singh’s house, and that pieces of latex glove bearing Mr. Le’s DNA were found on duct tape used to bind the victims. And Tuesday Mr. van Drunen said ammunition entered as an exhibit at trial bore marks that indicated it had at some point been loaded into the murder weap- on. The cartridges were seized by police when they executed a search warrant at the storage locker in Scarborough in 2010. The locker contained an arsenal of weapons including several assault rifles, court heard. It was rented under a ficti- tious name but a Crown witness has testi- fied Mr. Singh controlled it. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Bryan Shaughnessy and a jury, continues in Oshawa. DURHAM -- John Le, left, and Vijay Singh are accused (photo above) of killing two men after the theft of a shipment of cocaine. Their first-degree murder trial began in Oshawa in September.

On Oct. 28 council voted unanimously in favour of a new agreement between the City and Seaton landowners, which will raise the long-term surplus of the Seaton development to $18.5 million by 2031 and erase the short- term deficit identified in a previous financial impact study. “This addresses, as much as anyone can calculate, the financial burden that otherwise would have been imposed on the taxpayer,” said Paul Bigioni, director of corporate ser- vices and city solicitor for Pickering. “When we did the last public report we identified the long-term surplus as $4.4 million, meaning we would collect that amount through devel- opment charge measures and voluntary con- tributions of funds above what was needed to service Seaton, but staff didn’t feel that was enough of a cushion given the long-term time frame for construction,” he explained. “When you start a new development there is also initial infrastructure that needs to go in first, such as fire halls. That means there’s cap- ital that’s needed to get a community started, and for Seaton that would have resulted in a small, temporary deficit.” The new agreement increases the long- term surplus and erases the short-term def- icit through voluntary contributions from landowners as well as a commitment from developers to fund the Seaton road network. “It was a combination of things,” Mr. Bigioni said of the success of the agreement. “The commitment to fund the roads net- work is non-monetary, but it is still of great value to the city.” The planned Seaton development is expect- ed to bring 37,000 new residents to Pickering by 2031.‘‘This addresses, as much as anyone can calculate, the financial burden that otherwise would have been imposed on the taxpayer.’ Paul Bigioni du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 1 , 2 0 1 3 10 AP Ever smiled for 18 months?

The award highlights her role in intro- ducing downloadable eBooks to dur- hamregion.com. Since the beginning of the year Metro- land’s Durham Division has produced 12 eBooks. “We are always looking for new ways to tell the stories in our communities,” says Mrs. Burghardt. “The addition of eBooks has provided our journalists an opportunity to explore subjects in great- er depth.” The newspapers have partnered with the Whitby Public Library to make ebooks available for loan to library card holders. “We hope to have our eBooks available through other Durham libraries very soon,” Mrs. Burghardt added.

But when it comes to meat, there is a lack of awareness of just how animals get from field to fork. “Everyone is on the eat local band- wagon, but are you defeating the idea if an animal has to be trucked hours away to be killed, then bring it all the way back?” asks local farmer Mary Ann Found, of Found Family Farm in Cour- tice. She is part of a group of local stake- holders investigating bringing a federal- ly licensed abattoir to Durham. Durham is currently home to three provincially licensed slaughterhouses -- down from six several years ago. But there has never been a federally licensed facility in this area. “There is a void all the way to the Quebec border. Having something in Durham, it’s a no brainer,” says Nancy Rutherford, the Region of Durham’s manager of economic development for agriculture and rural affairs. A consultant recently completed a fea- sibility study and business plan, which support the idea. “Limited regional access to federal processors, combined with the steady decline of provincial processors is reduc- ing the access to processing and threat- ening the long term sustainability of pro- ducers in the region,” reads an excerpt from the study. Stakeholders are now holding a series of meetings to discuss cost and logistics. The recommended model is an owner- ship split between an existing local meat processor and a co-op of owners. The feasibility study envisions a 3,888-square-foot facility with a price tag of about $2.6 million. It would potentially process beef, pork, lamb, veal and goat, with an ini- tial capacity to slaughter 700 animals per week. Most large grocery chains and restau- rants will not purchase meat that has not been federally inspected. Meat processed at a provincially licensed abattoir can only be sold in Ontario, while meat from a federal facil- ity can be shipped across Canada and into the U.S. In addition to a broader market, Ms. Rutherford said the new facility could help local producers and processors cre- ate a “made in Durham” brand of meat. For Ms. Found -- whose fourth-genera- tion family farm sells eggs, poultry, beef, pork and lamb -- it’s also about looking to the future. “I want to have sustainability for my children, who are coming after me in farming,” she says. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 1 , 2 0 1 3 11 P Savingsforalloffers are offour regularprices.Men’sdressshirtsandties excludeWestEndShop,Bugatti,CalvinKleinCollection,HugoBoss,J.Lindeberg,KlaussBoehler,Pure,RobertGraham,Strellson,TedBaker,VanGils,Victorinox,Zegna,Sterling,Thompson,Allegri,AndrewMarc,Sanyo,CoppleyandSamuelsohn.JonesNewYorkSignature, Style&Co.and Dex excludeitemswith99¢priceendings.I.N.C International Concepts excludesF13AmourandF13Opulent.Bianca Nygard excludesCasinoRoyaleanditemswith99¢priceendings.Peter Nygard excludesGrandLuxe,ModernEdgeanditemswith99¢priceendings.Chaps excludesHolidayGroupIanditemswith99¢price endings.Kensie excludesMainEvent,ColorShotanditemswith99¢priceendings.Lord&Taylor excludesLord&Taylorcashmere,424FifthLord&Tayloranditemswith99¢priceendings.Pearl,gold,diamondandgemstonefinejewellery excludeIvankaTrump,CharriolandJudithRipka.Bedding,sheetsandsheetsets excludeitemswith 95¢priceendings.*Beforetaxes.Offergoodwhilesupplieslast.Quantitieslimited.Onebonustoacustomer.Valuesarebasedonourpermland/orgpriceforregular-sizedproducts.

Pickering council briefs More seniors to get snow clearing service in Pickering PICKERING -- More seniors in Pickering will be able to access snow clearing services from the City after council approved an expansion to the program. The service will be extended to 350 people, up from 300, to address increased demand from seniors and people with disabili- ties. In 2012 the program was filled within a week, as opposed to a month in past years, and saw 29 residents on a wait- ing list, compared to nine resi- dents on the waiting list the year before. Council also approved an expansion of the boundary of the program north to Taunton Road in order to include the new Duf- fin Heights neighbourhood for the upcoming winter season and authorized staff to look into fur- ther expansion of the program for the 2014-2015 winter season to include hamlets north of Taunton Road. The increased cost to include additional residents for this year’s program is estimated to be $5,250. Dickerson defends Veridian governance An Ajax council request that the Veridian board of directors review its governance structure caused a stir at Pickering c o u n c i l , with Verid- ian chairman Doug Dicker- son vigorously defending the corporation. After an attempt to introduce a motion of sup- port by Jennifer O’Connell was lost, Coun. Dickerson noted that the motion was unnecessary. “I found this motion to be extremely strange,” Coun. Dicker- son said, noting that as a 33-per cent owner with political representatives on the board, Ajax would be well aware that the corporation is required to review its governance at least once a year as part of its agreement with shareholders. “I look at a motion like this, and others who want to cast Veridian in a dubious light, and as Pickering owns 42 per cent, I wonder why would we go out and hurt, or try to hurt, a corporation that returns millions of dollars to the City? No other owner or executive direc- tors I know of anywhere would be so foolish as to try to go after a corporation they own in public.” Doug Dickerson du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 1 , 2 0 1 3 12 AP Show Us Your Claus Name .............................................................................................................................................................................

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Good times at Ontario’s badlands It started with a scene from a calendar. My husband showed me the one from his office, Beautiful Ontario 2013, opened to the September spread. “Wow,” I exclaimed, eyeing the ochre, rain-smoothed slopes and gullies featured that month. “Badlands here?” At Drumheller, Rapid City and Cap- padocia, yes. But in Ontario? Dennis knows I love red rocks, the kind that jut up out of the Arizona desert and Australian Outback. These Ontario bad- lands were that same vivid orange-red hue, the colour of pigments used by First Nations people in times past to paint pictographs throughout the Canadian shield. I headed straight to Google Maps to find out where the “Cheltenham badlands” were located, and discovered they were south of Orange- ville, where I just happened to be going to a fiddle workshop in mid-October. I had to talk the musical friend I was driv- ing up there with into taking a detour off the beaten track to see them, but she wasn’t disappointed when we got there. Nor was I. We were instantly impressed by the hilly terrain just west of Hwy. 10, steep rises and dips as dramatic as the great hills around Bethany and Enniskillen in Durham Region. Near the top of one scary rise, on a country road in the middle of nowhere, siz- able speed bumps and a big Speed Limit 40 sign signaled our approach to something -- we had no idea what. Creeping over the ridge in low gear revealed a small park- ing area crammed with cars and crawling with tourists, on a Friday afternoon. All vis- iting the curious terrain of colourful clay stripped bare of vegetation by poor farming practised in the 1930s. My friend and I joined the other sightse- ers taking pictures of the eroded red and sage-green slopes enhanced by the golds and oranges of the surrounding autumn woods. In full adventure mode by that time, we decided to meander north on sideroads instead of shooting straight up to Orange- ville back on the highway. Our wandering took us through Alton, with its historic mill, and on through Forks of the Credit country. I’d last been there 30 years ago, so finding out there was a provincial park, plus tourist shops and amenities, came as a surprise, as did the well-paved roads with switchbacks so steep that tour buses and trucks were warned not to take them. But the tumbling streams with their splashing cataracts were the same, as were the towering hills of the Niagara Escarp- ment, headwaters of so many rivers, and migration route for raptors. We watched a kettle of turkey vultures circling, and a northern harrier hovering in the wind. Orangeville itself is a lovely town filled with century-old buildings of warm orange brick, likely made from the same clay strata exposed at the Cheltenham badlands. Beautiful Ontario, indeed. Ours to discov- er. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks.net or 905-725-2116.

Margaret Carney The Great Outdoors See a video of Dora and Diego on Facebook facebook.com/NewsDurhamKristensKrittersWays to help animals in Durham Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary kicks off season of giving this weekend It’s no surprise that once Halloween is over each year, we see Christmas decorations filling up the stores and more and more people seeking donations for the charity they care about. But while spending does add up, the hol- iday season offers great opportunities to donate to charities, including animal res- cues and shelters. Some try to make donat- ing benefit the donor as well. For example, it all starts off this weekend with the Sec- ond Chance Wildlife Sanctuary’s indoor yard sale in Pickering (see details below). You can get some great items, from art to small appliances and toys, and all of the money you spend will go to the cats in the care of the charity. They even have many new items, and you can purchase them for a good price, and stash them away for Christmas gifts. The big day will pop off fast after all and why not buy some gifts and support a great charity at the same time? As I am a big fan of Second Chance and the work of the volunteers. I’ve attended a few of the yard sales myself and haven’t left empty-handed. You can also purchase the Second Chance 2014 calendar for $10 each plus shipping by visiting second-chance.ws. Another great rescue, the Cuddly Cats Rescue and Sanctuary, is also planning a big event for December, the 11 Days Til Christmas Sale on Saturday, Dec. 14 at All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby. Admission will be free, and the show will feature 94 different vendors. The wide range of vendors make a great opportunity to buy some Christmas pres- ents, and there will be a number of ways to donate, including a 50/50 draw and a silent auction. Keep an eye out for more details on this page as the event approaches. In the meantime, if you would like to donate items the charity can use for the craft sale portion of the show, search for ‘Cuddly Cats Rescue and Sanctuary’ on Facebook. Visit cuddlycatsrescue.com for more details on Cuddly Cats. There’s currently an opportunity for a photographer to help out the Humane Society of Durham Region. The shelter is seeking a professional studio photogra- pher so it can hold the annual Pet Pix with Santa fundraiser at Vandermeer Nursery in Ajax for three weekends in a row, starting the last weekend in November. The usual photographer is booked this year and they need some help to keep it going. Call the shelter at 905-665-7430 if you can help. What a great Christmas present that would be. I’ll try to do my part. If you’d like me to print information on your upcoming fund- raisers to support local animals in need, send details to kcalis@durhamregion. com. Upcoming The Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary is hosting an indoor yard sale this weekend at the shelter, located at 2060 Concession Rd. 7 in Pickering. It will take place both days, Saturday, Nov. 2 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Items for sale include glassware, crockery, furni- ture, books, art/prints, electronics, lamps, small appliance and toys. All proceeds will go to the cats that Second Chance cares for. Call 905-649-8282 for more information.

Paul White, president of the Fairport Beach Neighbourhood Association, spoke to councillors on Oct. 28 to thank them for considering the removal of side- walks from plans for a new development on nearby Park Crescent. “When you have these unique older neighbourhoods, I think along with that goes some preservation of the neighbour- hood and its unique character,” he said, noting the neighbourhood is among Pick- ering’s oldest, and was originally a cot- tage community. “That’s what we would like to see, so I say let’s get on with the project and thank you for all the effort that’s gone into this.” Councillors voted to approve the devel- opment proposal with the inclusion of stipulations that provisions for sidewalks be deleted from all future urbanization plans for Park Crescent and Cliffview Road, and that the requirements for side- walks along those streets be deleted from the development plan. Councillors did not take action on an additional request from residents to bury utility poles along Cliffview Road to match the new development, a move staff estimated would cost the City $130,000. “I don’t think that’s a large sum when it comes to Veridian’s budget,” Mr. White said, although he noted the cost would be borne by the City. “When I look at the taxes being paid by my neighbours, sometimes $10,000-plus a year on one house, that doesn’t take a long time to pay for a project like this that’s going to make a vast difference.” When questioned by Councillor Doug Dickerson, Mr. White said the association would consider a potential future part- nership with the City to fund the work, but it would have to be discussed with members first. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 1 , 2 0 1 3 18 P N OVEMBER 2 ND 2013 •11:30-2:00PM DONATIONS GREATLY APPRECIATED Helping Hands Daycare -Lakeside 60 Ashbury Blvd.Ajax, ON •905-427-4122 H e l p i n g H a n ds Daycare L E U K E M I A F UNDRAISER H E L P I N G H A N D S D AY CARE IS HELPING OUT BOTTLE DRIVE, BBQ, MUSIC, DANCING, FACE PAINTING, RAFFLES, GAMES & PRIZES Please show your support fo r Childhood Leukemia and join us fo r an afternoon of fun with your fa mily.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood stem cells (immature blood cells) in the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft, spongy material that fills the centre of most bones. Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. Blood stem cells develop into either myeloid stem cells or lymphoid stem cells. • Myeloid stem cells develop into red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets. • Red blood cells carry oxygen to all tissues of the body. There are many different types of white blood cells. Myeloid stem cells can develop into granulocytes and monocytes, which destroy bacteria and help to fight infection. • Platelets form clots in damaged blood vessels to prevent bleeding. Lymphoid stem cells develop into lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are another type of white blood cell. They are usually found in the blood and different parts of the lymphatic system, such as the lymph nodes and the spleen. Lymphocytes make antibodies to help fight infection. Leukemia develops when the blood stem cells in the bone marrow make abnormal blood cells. These abnormal cells are called leukemia cells. Over time, the leukemia cells crowd out normal blood cells. This makes it hard for the white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets to do their jobs. - www.cancer.ca Helping Hands For Childhood Leukemia - What is childhood leukemia?Advertisng Feature 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.

Home Instead Senior Care Durham Region has partnered with Wilmot Creek, Lovell Drugs, Health-Rite, Shoppers Home Health, GiantTiger,andallCurvesGymsinDurhamRegiontoprovide presents to seniors who otherwise might not receive gifts this holiday season. Be a Santa to a Senior is a great way to give back to the older adults in the community during the hectic holiday season when many are forgotten, said Glen McHugh owner of the Home Instead Senior Care Durham Region. Here is how the program works: participating local non-profit organizations will identify lonely or isolated seniors in the community and provide those names to Home Instead Senior Care. Christmas trees will feature paper ornaments with the first name of the senior and their respective gift request. Holiday shoppers can pick up an ornament, buy the requested item and return it unwrapped to the store, with the ornament attached. Home Instead Senior Care, with the help of other volunteers will wrap and distribute the gifts to these seniors. This program which runs from November 1 to December 9 has brought a lot of joy to seniors over the holiday season.To find out more about this program to go www.beasantatoasenior.com.

In Tobin Elliott’s third novella, The Wrong, a man nine months from turning 50 feels there’s something amiss. The kids are older, gone off to school and getting on with their lives. At work, everybody seems younger and there are layoffs taking place. He won- ders if he’s still relevant. And at the same time, everything he starts to see looks, well, wrong. In a restaurant, he can’t pick up his fork because it has a pulse, and then he sees that all the utensils are pulsing. Is he going crazy? Is he the only person on earth who sees what’s happening? “The horror is not only about the monsters or the big scary things, the horror is in the things you can identify with,” Elliott says. A Courtice resident born and raised in Oshawa, he teaches creative writing at Dur- ham College and at Trent University Oshawa. And he has a penchant for dark subject mat- ter, spooky stuff. In the horror genre, he notes stories about zombies or vampires are “much more personal” because these mon- sters were once regular people, like us. The protagonist in The Wrong is modelled after Elliott, but “obviously amped up a bit,” he says. Elliott says like a “very slow snowball” going down a hill, his writing career has been picking up some speed of late. His first novella, Vanishing Hope, was published though Burning Effigy in Toronto. A sec- ond caught the eye of a Texas publisher. He also has a short story to be published in an anthology next year and a novel under his belt. Vanishing Hope is about “a nasty little girl” who gets her hands on an ancient book that gives the holder powers. Elliott says the genesis of his ideas is in real-life experiences. He loved writing in high school but, like a lot of people, after high school real life intruded and he set writ- ing aside. He picked it up again when he was around 30 and in the last decade has been pounding his keyboard with great regular- ity. “I have more projects than I can keep a handle on,” he says, noting for the last two years he’s taken part in the Muskoka Novel Marathon, which has served as a boost for his writing for the year. Great writing, he says, “is nutritious and delicious. “It’s easy to digest and yet it still works on you,” Elliott says. When he’s advising students, he general- ly imparts a few key points. First, don’t get bogged down in self-editing at the start of the process. “My whole thing is, write quickly, initially, get the story down and then clean it up later,” he says. He also tells novice authors to “write some- thing that you would want to read. I find a lot of people don’t do that.” Finally, he says authors should “write something that somewhere along the line you feel strongly about.” He enjoys being a member of the Writers’ Community of Durham because writing is so solitary.

Nine players with ties to the Whitby Jr. Wolves and the Durham West Jr. Lightning will compete at the championships, divided between an Ontario Blue and Ontario Red team. Included on the Ontario Blue roster from the Wolves are Kirsten Welsh (Blackstock), Lauren Williams (Windsor), Megan Sullivan (Toronto) and Rhyen McGill (Whitby), while Lightning players include Kennnedy March- ment (Courtice) and Alysha Burriss (Nap- anee). Representing Ontario Red from the Wolves are Kassidy Sauve (Whitby) and Hailey Noronha (Newmarket), while the Lightning have Megan Quinn (Roslin) on the roster. Eight provincial and regional entries will compete at the championship. Defend- ing gold medallist Ontario Blue will play in Group A, along with Team Atlantic, British Columbia and Quebec, while Group B con- sists of last year’s silver medallist Manito- ba, bronze medallist Ontario Red, Alberta and Saskatchewan. All preliminary round games, as well as the semifinals and bronze-medal game, will be webcast at www.hockeycanada.ca, while the gold-medal game will be broad- cast on TSN. The championship brings together the best female hockey players born in 1996 or later. The tournament serves as a platform for Hockey Canada scouts who will evalu- ate candidates for the Canadian contin- gent that will compete at the 2014 IIHF ice hockey U18 women’s world championship in Budapest, Hungary in March. Ajax Budokan’s Duncan Vignale joins elite company Awarded 8th Dan in judo at special ceremony Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- After more than 50 years in judo, Duncan Vignale vows that retirement isn’t in his future, if at all. “I’m going to die on the mat,” laughs the 78 year old. Vignale was recently honoured at the Ajax Budokan where he is a member, after achieving his 8th Dan (Hachidan), joining an elite company of only five in Canada to achieve that level. “That was awesome for me,” he says of the reception that was attended by count- less family, friends and colleagues. “I’ve been so fortunate to have met so many good people over my judo life. There were guys that came out that I haven’t seen in 30 years. “I’ll never forget it. It was a great day.” Vignale joined a judo club in Hamilton in the 1950s on the advice of a friend of his older sister. When his curiosity finally got the better of him, he ventured down to the local club to see what it was all about. The attraction was immediate. “The first night I walked into the club I saw these guys throwing one another around, getting up and throwing the next guy. I thought, my gosh, this is for me.” Through the years the Toronto resident who teaches in Richmond Hill has held a number of number of executive posi- tions both provincially and nationally. As a competitor, he won a number of cham- pionships at competitions in Ontario and Canada, and was selected as an alternate for the 1964 Olympic Games. He’s also been a coach, referee and member of the black belt grading board. His success and passion dates back to the early days. “I’ve been very fortunate all my judo life, I’ve had good instructors,” he says. “My first instructor, Masao Kawasaki, was very influential on me. He inspired me to carry on.” One of the appeals of judo, says Vignale, is it’s universal language and techniques, which don’t vary much from country to country, unlike some of the other martial arts. “You can go to any country in the world and the terminology we use here is the same terminology they use there,” he adds. “The techniques we teach here are the same all over the world. There’s only one style.” Vignale should know. AJAX -- Duncan Vignale, right, was joined by Ajax Budokan founder Bill Doherty and Pan Am gold medallist and Olympian Kelita Zupancic as he was awarded the 8th dan for judo at the Ajax club. Vignale, who is 78 years old, is one of only five people in Canada to reach this high level in the sport. Photo by Peter Redman Long layoff hurts Durham West Jr. Lightning Momentum halted after pair of losses Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- After building some momentum through the opening seven games of the regular season, the Durham West Jr. Light- ning will be looking to hit the reset button. Undefeated through those seven games with six wins and a tie, the Lightning returned to Provincial Women’s Hockey League play this weekend after a 16-day sabbatical and couldn’t register a win in a pair of home games, losing 5-3 to first place Toronto on Saturday and 3-2 in overtime to Kingston on Sunday afternoon. “It’s a bit tricky,” said head coach Jeremy Murphy of trying to get back into the swing of things after so much time off. “We were certainly on a roll there. But that’s some- thing that is part of this league. Every team has to go through it whether you are in a good or bad stretch. “It’s no excuse. Everyone goes through it and you have to figure out a way to keep your momentum somehow, or reset and build some.” During the more than two weeks between games, the league shut down to allow play- ers from all the teams to attend tryouts for the provincial U18 teams that will compete at the national championships. The Light- ning also took time out for a university tour weekend, playing Queen’s, St. Lawrence and Clarkson on consecutive days. The Lightning will play a pair of games this weekend, then the league will shut down again, allowing players to compete in the U18 nationals from Nov. 6-10 in Alber- ta. Then things get really busy for the Light- ning, making up for lost time with seven games in 15 days from Nov. 16 to Dec. 1. In Saturday’s loss, the Lightning were down 2-0 in the first period and played catch up the rest of the way, alternating goals until the end, with Toronto sealing the 5-3 win with an empty-net goal with just 17 seconds remaining. Kennedy Marchment scored twice, with Hayley Flynn adding the other. Sunday, Flynn tied the game late in the third period on the power play, but Kings- ton prevailed with a 3-2 win in overtime. Marchment had the other goal for the Lightning, as the teams traded goals in the second and third periods. The Lightning, who hold down second place with a 6-1-1-1 mark in the 20-team league, will head west for a pair of games this weekend, in Bluewater Saturday and Southwest on Sunday. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 1 , 2 0 1 3 23 AP at the Whitby Dunlops Game IRQUOIS PA RK,Whitby SATURDAY NOVEMBER 2ND VS Stoney Creek Generals 6:30pm FREE AUTOGRAPHED BOBBY BAUN 1964 Cup Photo, 1st 250 Meet Gary Mossman (Author) Lloyd Percival (Coach & Visionary) 50 years at The Royal Ashburn G.C.

The Ontario Junior Hockey League club posted a win to snap a four-game losing streak, but came out on the short end overall with a couple of loss- es during a busy weekend that required three games in three nights. Their losing streak peaked at four on Friday night, blanked 3-0 on home ice by Mississauga, who scored once in each period, while the Pan- thers couldn’t get one despite holding a 29-18 edge in shots on goal. The third Mississauga goal of the night sealed the game into an empty net. The Panthers finally broke through in Aurora on Saturday night, coming up with a 4-3 overtime victory. Robert Cammalleri opened and closed the scoring for the Panthers, potting his first goal of the night in the opening period, and then jam- ming one home just a couple of minutes into overtime. Cam Palmer and John Woolsey had the other goals for the Panthers who were outshot 43-29, but backstopped to the win by netminder Steven Dombrosky. Finishing up a busy weekend on Sunday against first place Wellington, the Panthers fell behind 3-0 en route to a 6-2 loss. Michael Walker on the power play and Nicholas Lepone were the goal scorers. Dombrosky had another busy night in goal, facing 61 Wellington shots, while his team- mates fired 31 the other way. The weekend leaves the Panthers with a 6-8- 2-1 record and in third place in the five team North Division. Aurora and Newmarket are tied at the top and lead the way with 18 points each, followed by Pickering (15), Stouffville (13) and Lindsay (12). This weekend’s schedule is a little more man- ageable, hosting North York on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Lindsay on Sunday at 6:30 p.m., with both games at the Pickering Recreation Complex. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 3 1 , 2 0 1 3 24 AP 70+programs, multiple areas of study, all in your backyard.
