Statistics Canada data says Durham has the lowest percentage of immigrants in the GTA at 21 per cent. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Pickering leads the wayin welcoming immigrants Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Recent data from Statistics Cana- da shows Durham has the lowest percentage of immigrants in the GTA at 21 per cent. But local experts say that number doesn’t tell the whole story. “When you break it down to the lower-tier municipalities, it’s quite a different look,” says Audrey Andrews, manager of diversity and immi- gration for the Region of Durham. Ajax, for example has a population that is 34 per cent immigrants, a four-per cent increase over 2006, while Pickering sits at 31 per cent. The Region recently pulled together data from all three releases of the 2011 National Household Survey -- a voluntary questionnaire that replaced the long-form census. Durham’s 21-per cent fig- ure is one that has barely increased over the past 10 years, inching up from 19 per cent in 2001 and 20 per cent in 2006.

Nutritious groceries cost $172 a week for average Durham family Health department says 7.7 per cent of local households now experience food insecurity Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The cost of nutritious grocer- ies isn’t up much over last year, but health department officials say it’s the big picture trends that are cause for concern. The Durham Region Health Depart- ment recently released details of the 2013 Nutritious Food Basket survey, which is done each year to keep tabs on the cost of healthy food. The 2013 data reveals that a sample fam- ily of four -- two adults, an eight-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy -- in Durham Region would have to spend $172.45 per week to buy groceries needed to sustain a healthy diet. That’s about the same as 2012, but it’s a 5.5 per cent increase over 2011. “The trend overall is that it’s increasing,” says Deborah Lay, a public health nutri- tionist with the health department. When the rising cost of other necessities such as housing and utilities are factored in, she says many local families are strug- gling. For example, a Durham family earn- ing the average income of $6,852 a month would only need to spend 11 per cent of that to afford healthy food, while a family bringing home $2,112 a month in Ontario Works would have to spend 35 per cent. “When you compare the two families, it’s three times more that they’re spending on food,” Ms. Lay says. “When you add in things like rent, they’re spending about 80 per cent of their income on food and shel- ter...it leaves very little for anything else.” An estimated 7.7 per cent of Durham households now experience food insecu- rity, which means they worry food will run out, or are forced to reduce the quality or quantity of food eaten. Ms. Lay says that translates to more Dur- ham residents at risk for chronic diseases related to poverty, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and depres- sion. “In 2008 chronic diseases related to pov- erty and food insecurity cost $2.9 billion in Ontario, it’s a very real thing,” she says. To complete the Nutritious Food Basket survey, the health department checked out the cost of 67 healthy food items in nine Durham Region grocery stores. The survey is a useful tool, but it also makes a lot of assumptions. For example, it assumes people have the time and ability to prepare meals from scratch, or to travel to stores where the lowest price items are available. It also excludes processed and prepared foods and non-food items that are often purchased as part of the grocery bill such as laundry detergent, diapers and toilet- ries. The health department is sending a newsletter to community stakeholders -- including grocery stores in at-risk neigh- bourhoods -- with information on the 2013 statistics and recommended actions. They include advocating for a nation- al food security program and speaking to local MPPs about equitable wages and social assistance rates.

In comparison, Peel Region has the GTA’s highest percentage of immigrants at 50 per cent, followed by Toronto at 49 per cent, York Region at 45 per cent, Halton Region at 26 per cent and Hamilton at 25 per cent. “Durham is actually doing tons to attract and retain newcomers,” Ms. Andrews says. “The con- versation has really changed in the past few years.” She points to the durhamimmigration. ca website, which launched in 2010 and includes content contributed by more than 80 local organizations. The site now averages 4,000 hits a month from 87 different countries. Ms. Andrews says one goal of the content is to “demystify” life in Canada for new- comers with tips on everything from gro- cery shopping to public transportation. Another example of Durham’s approach to newcomers is the federally funded wel- come centres in Ajax and Pickering, which opened in September 2012. They offer everything from English lan- guage classes and employment support, to help with government forms and new- comer support groups. “We’re a one-stop shop for immigrant services,” says Kathy Feltham, manager of the Pickering welcome centre. “Coming to a new area can be very frightening and challenging ... with a single place to go for any questions, people don’t have to be intimidated by travelling all over or taking transit.” The Pickering welcome centre has served 2,056 clients from April 2013 to today.

It is disappointing when municipalities such as York and Durham regions will not share information that is clearly public. Two requests for financial analyses were made at both the Pickering and Ajax pub- lic meetings. Responses from both regions were less than encouraging, with no help as to where to find the information, only where to find presentations stating the results of the analyses. The results of the analyses were in great doubt. A citizens’ group back in the 1970s called Pickering Ajax Citizens Together chal- lenged Durham Region’s financial analy- sis regarding a contract negotiation with Metro Toronto. PACT discovered Durham Region would incur a $225 million loss rather than the $20 million profit Durham calculated. Why are financial analyses of public spending being hidden from the public? Welcome to the age of democracy ero- sion with a scoop of secrecy. Paul Kuebler Ajax Making mental illness awareness a life skill If you or someone you know were try- ing to cope with a mental illness, would you know what to do? Would you know where to find help or how to talk about it? Although we are making great strides in understanding mental illness, it remains a growing public health concern. One in five Canadians will develop a mental illness in their lifetime and most Canadians know someone who has a mental illness. However, stigma often prevents individuals from seek- ing help or even talking about it. It is also a growing concern for educational institutions and suicide is the second leading cause of death on post-secondary campuses. The Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology wants to make the community aware of a free online educational resource called Mindsight (mymindsight.uoit.ca) that promotes aware- ness of mental illness and provides strate- gies and resources for supporting individu- als experiencing a mental health challenge. Mindsight covers 10 topics: stigma, depression, anxiety, substance use, suicide, self-harm, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, psychosis and trauma. Mindsight highlights the signs and symptoms of common men- tal illnesses and offers self-help strategies; strategies for helping a friend, colleague, or family member; treatment options; and links to available community resources. It takes approximately two hours to com- plete and you don’t have to complete it in one session. There is a short multiple-choice quiz at the end of each section and you are eligible to receive a certificate of completion by selecting the request certificate button. Mental illness awareness has become an important life skill for everyone. By becoming better informed and talking more openly, we can promote greater understanding. -- Dr. Wendy Stanyon is an associate professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at UOIT, whose research focus is on enhanced mental health/illness literacy, education and awareness. Mindsight link: mymindsight.uoit.ca. Wendy Stanyon Guest column Mental illness Fighting C. difficile in Durham hospitals To be forewarned is to be forearmed. In the ongoing battle against the bacte- ria known as C. difficile, Lakeridge Health is stepping up its efforts and ensuring its troops on the front lines can minimize fur- ther outbreak of the nasty bug. Hospital-acquired cases of the illness are declining now, after a peak last year; with 77 cases seen in 2012, this year it’s expected the number will be down by half. Rouge Val- ley Ajax-Pickering is also seeing lower num- bers of C. difficile illness this year, while the number of people who contract the bacte- ria outside of hospital settings is also going down. This is all good news, and the decline of infection rates is no accident, with the Province requiring hospitals to track hos- pital-acquired cases and Lakeridge Health putting stringent sanitation practices into place. The spores of C. difficile can survive for some time outside the human body, and patients taking antibiotics are susceptible to illness if they ingest the spores, since the antibiotics also destroy the good bacteria in the gut. When the C. difficile bacteria is in a colon where the normal good flora has been destroyed, the gut becomes overrun with C. difficile, and the bacteria releases toxins which can cause bloating, diarrhea and abdominal pain, which can become severe. It can be particularly threatening to the elderly. In the latest attack against the C. difficile bug, Lakeridge Health is planning a Nov. 21 summit for health care workers employed in hospitals and related community set- tings, including family doctors. The confer- ence will highlight the latest information about the bug, treatment, and strategies to reduce infection. Already, Lakeridge Health has stepped up its game with more strin- gent rules for cleaning staff, new sanitiza- tion policies and asking doctors to careful- ly evaluate and consider which antibiotics they’re prescribing. The patient, perhaps the most unwitting and hapless part of the equation, can still take certain measures for self-protection. Always discuss your medication options with your doctor, and what can be done to mitigate the ramifications of taking antibi- otics. Whether you are being treated at hos- pital or just visiting, practise good personal hygiene habits as much as possible, such as frequent hand sanitization. Hospitals in Durham are aware of the con- stant danger of accidental infection and contamination due to the many germs and bugs carried into facilities by sick people. By working together, the medical community in Durham will minimize the risks of C. dif- ficile and other contagious illnesses. Educa- tion and best practices are up to all of us. Nary a ghost or goblin in sight I almost bailed on Halloween this year. That’s a huge deal for me. That’s like Rob Ford saying he almost walked by a Dairy Queen. For years when we lived in Sunderland my ex-wife and I used to put on Hallow- een shows that would rival Les Miz. We got a huge kick out of it. She always wanted to entertain the kids and I always wanted to scare the snot out of them...we usually met somewhere in the middle. And the kids -- and their par- ents -- loved it. We would routinely get a couple of hun- dred visitors over the course of that won- derful evening. Suffice to say it was a bit of lunch-bag letdown when I moved to Port only to find that I had moved into a house that was apparently in a no-trick-or-treating zone. My first year in, I had five kids come to the door. Five. And even they looked like they were only there because they had some- how gotten lost or had shown up on a dare or something. Last year the numbers were equally mis- erable. Still, true lovers of the spookiest night of the year that we were, my old- est son and I gamely got dressed up and hoped that the paltry number of visitors the previous year had been an anomaly...a blip. There would surely be more kids this time around. There had to be. But no. They didn’t come. We could hear them out there, having fun, somewhere. But not on my street. Not at my door. Once again, the curse of the ancient Indian burial ground that my home must surely be built on, or that pesky portal to hell in the backyard or the tons of hidden nuclear waste that I must be sitting on top of, kept them away in droves. So this year, as the night of ghosts and goblins drew closer I found myself slip- ping into a bit of a Halloween funk. Alone on Halloween for the first time, I was feel- ing sorry for myself. The weather, gunmetal grey and wet, was perfect for a little Halloween pity party. I hadn’t purchased any candy to give out. I wasn’t even going to carve a pumpkin. To hell with it. But as the afternoon wore on and the witching hour grew closer and my memo- ries of all of those wonderful Halloweens I’d enjoyed as both a child and an adult came floating back to me, I made a deci- sion. I opted in. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, after all. I loaded up on candy. Drove out to the nearest pumpkin patch and picked out a dandy. I found myself grinning as I set to work carving up the creepiest jack-o-lan- tern face I could conjure. I was not going to let the blues ruin my Halloween. And I refused to be one of those cranky old people who turn the lights off on Halloween night, hoping the kids will just go away. I wanted to take part. I wanted to have fun. If you carve it, they will come. Well, what happened that night was nothing short of amazing. Not one kid came. Not one. Not a ghost, not a goblin, not even a pain-in-the-ass teenager with no costume on. Nada. Zip. Zilch. And I’m going to be eating Hershey bars for the next six months.

This is expected to rise to $16 billion in 2041. • Mental health problems and illnesses account for approximately 30 per cent of short- and long-term disability claims. Robyn Minnikin: He’s a public official. That automati- cally means he has no per- sonal life. Rachel Cross: Unfortu- nately when you are a public figure your entire life (past, present and future) you are always on display for the public to see and discuss. If he didnt want that, then maybe he should have taken a less public roll ... Hope this all goes away very soon. James Coatham: His busi- ness is public when it affects the world view of the capitol of Ontario, there are peo- ple’s jobs that are based on tourism, travel and if the city hall is seen as a drug haven it will reduce the reputation of Toronto and subsequently the tourism of this city. No one is perfect you are right, but you cannot say you want someone whose mind has been addled at work with alcohol and drugs to run a major city. Oleh Perun: Has the city of Toronto been run badly? NO. Has the media circus affected tourism? Prob- ably. Not the Mayor, but the media,chasing the mayor for a not so important story, made this a bad scene. The city still operates, and is booming. But, there are more important issues to be on the story lines, not if the mayor smoked some crack a year ago. He has stated that he did smoke, but is not an addict. Lets move on, make Toronto a wonderful city for all the tourists. Jeremy Large: The issue I find most troubling is that he is a person who continuously cries foul when anyone tells the truth about him, and he calls them liars. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 1 3 , 2 0 1 3 8 P IT’S FREE!Sign up today at www.wagjag.com Save up to 95% brought to you by your trusted hometown Metroland Newspapers Oshawa•Whitby•Clarington News Advertiser T H E The News Since 1866Since1869Since1970 Since 1991Since1965 SAVE $81SAVE$69 $69 for 10 lb ofWhole,CookedAtlantic Lobsters (a $150 Value) PICKUP AVAILABLE AT OSHAWA&AJAX LOCATIONS $39for4lbofWild-CaughtArgentine Red Shrimp (a $108 Value) PICKUP AVAILABLE AT OSHAWA&AJAX LOCATIONS www.wagjag.com/grocerywww.wagjag.com/grocery WAGJAGGROCERYDEAL WAGJAGGROCERYDEAL SAVE $41 $29 for 7 Beginner Salsa Classes at TheLoveofSalsa (a $70 Value)SAVE $35 $24 to Create Your Own LegalWill at FormalWill.ca (a $59 Value) $19 for 3 Amazing Transformer Scarves Wearable More than 30 Ways fromWrap Magic Skirt Choose from 11 colours (a $150 value) Discount:87% SAVE $131 y b uoy ot thguorb oningtlary•Chitba•WwOsha sweNEHT $15 for 1 Full Rack of BBQ Ribs and 1 lb of Pulled Pork from Horn Dawgs Smokin’ BBQ and Catering (a $30 Value) Discount:50% SAVE $15 Discount:50% SAVE $10 $10 for $20 towards Dining atThai Orchid dA tiser swehe NT $13 for 2 Packages of Healthy Canadian-MadeVitality Dog Treats in Bison &Salmon Flavours from Great Jack’s (a $26 Value) Discount:50% SAVE $13 du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 1 3 , 2 0 1 3 9 P Alternate versions available upon request, call 905.683.7575 Direct Access 905.420.4660 General Enquiries 905.683.2760 Service Disruption 1.866.278.9993 Fo llow us on Fa cebook City of Upcoming Public Meetings Date Meeting/Location Time November14 Advisory Committeeon Diversity Library Boardroom 7:00pm November18 CouncilMeeting City Hall –Council Chambers 7:00pm November21 Waterfront Coordinating Committee City Hall –Main CommitteeRoom 7:00pm November27 Committeeof Adjustment City Hall –Main CommitteeRoom 7:00pm November27 Accessibility Advisory Committee City Hall –To werRoom 7:00pm Allmeetingsareopen to thepublic.Fordetails call905.420.2222orvisit the City website.For Service Disruptionnotification call1.866.278.9993 Winteris Coming!

Prosecutors in the case of Vijay Singh and John Le called their final witnesses Thursday. Defence lawyers for both men informed the court they’ll call no evi- dence. The complex Crown case has included both forensic evidence, including DNA, and testimony from a witness who claims to be a criminal associate of the accused men. When jurors retire to consider a verdict, witness credibility will be a key issue. Mr. Singh, 32, and Mr. Le, 41, have plead- ed not guilty to charges including first- degree murder in the deaths of Harjinder Singh Sandhu and Puneet Singh Chhi- na, whose bodies were found in the trunk of a car abandoned on Rosebank Road in Pickering on May 5, 2009. Mr. Sandhu, 29, of Brampton, and the 26-year-old Mr. Chhina, of Nepean, were bound with duct tape and killed execution-style with gun- shots to the head. It is the Crown’s theory that Mr. Sandhu, a truck driver, was targeted because he was believed to have hijacked a 35-kilogram shipment of cocaine being smuggled into the country from Los Angeles by Mr. Singh. Jurors have heard Mr. Sandhu was lured to Mr. Singh’s Scarborough home with an offer of cheap heroin; Mr. Chhina, court has heard, had the misfortune of going along for the ride that day. The stakes for Mr. Singh were high, jurors have heard; they’ve been told the cocaine shipment was brokered for a high-rank- ing member of the feared United Nations crime gang. A key witness at this lengthy trial -- it began in September -- was Michael Lopez, a 32-year-old former drug dealer who claims he was a longtime associate of Mr. Singh’s. He testified he was summoned to Mr. Singh’s Agincourt Drive home on May 4, 2009, and told that the “jacker” who stole the cocaine was due to arrive soon. He claimed Mr. Singh wanted him there to “clean up” after the jacker was dealt with. Mr. Lopez claims to have seen very little -- he testified he stayed in the basement, venturing up eventually to see Mr. Le lead a man who’d been blindfolded with duct tape to the trunk of a Nissan Altima that had been pulled into the garage. He claimed that after the men drove off with their captives in the trunk of the Alti- ma, he hastily mopped up blood, but did a “crappy job” -- jurors have heard traces of blood from both Mr. Sandhu and Mr. Chhi- na were found in the house. Mr. Lopez said Mr. Singh later gave him an account of the killings, describing how he parked the Altima by the road in rural Pickering, opened the trunk and fired bul- lets into each man’s head. “He thought for a second maybe he should let them go,” said Mr. Lopez. “(But) he said he put the gun under the person’s chin and then he fired.” Defence lawyers Todd White and Ravin Pillay spent days in cross examination assailing Mr. Lopez’s story and personal credibility, eliciting details of his criminal exploits and highlighting inconsistencies in his narrative of events. Mr. Pillay confronted Mr. Lopez outright, suggesting he was framing Mr. Singh and Mr. Le to distance himself from the mur- ders. “You fabricated this account you told the jury to save yourself,” the lawyer suggest- ed. “No,” Mr. Lopez replied. Mr. Lopez told court that although he lied to police in early stages of the mur- der investigation, he vowed to tell the truth when he struck a deal with the Crown to avoid prosecution on charges including drug trafficking and weapons offences. He allowed he had done so to save his own skin. But he also complained he’s suf- fered for his co-operation, which led to him seeking refuge in the witness protec- tion program. “My life’s been pretty crappy ever since, actually,” Mr. Lopez said. “You’re going to be taken away from your family; you’re going to have your name changed. You’re no longer that person. It’s depressing.” Jurors have also heard many days of tes- timony from forensic experts, including evidence that pieces of latex glove found on the tape used to bind one of the victims bore traces of Mr. Le’s DNA. And they’ve viewed reams of financial documents, including tax returns, accoun- tant reports and real estate documents, apparently aimed at proving Mr. Singh’s real occupation -- he ran an auto detailing business and claimed an annual income of about $60,000 -- was cocaine smuggling. Among the evidence presented to the jury was a suitcase stuffed with more than $600,000 in cash, seized by police from the Newmarket home of Mr. Singh’s mother, Lynette Pinto-Malcolm. They also viewed documents, including real estate listings and mortgage applica- tions, relating to a British Columbia man- sion with a list price of $4 million. Ms. Pinto-Malcolm said she conducted the deal on behalf of Mr. Singh, who split his time between Vancouver and Toronto. She testified she asked no questions about the real estate deal, or a chequing account she opened for her son that within months held approximately $248,000. “He asked me if I would help him,” she testified. “He wanted me to sign a mort- gage, so I did.” The trial resumes with closing arguments by the prosecution and defence Dec. 3. It is expected Superior Court Justice Bryan Shaughnessy will begin his charge to the jury Dec. 9, after which they will be seques- tered until they reach a verdict.

Squealing, jumping and waving greeted Saint Nick as he arrived with his sleigh and reindeer on a festive flatbed truck to cap off the Saturday, Nov. 9 parade. “I like to see Santa and I like the candy canes,” said Quinton Skeete, 4. The Pickering parade fea- tured blocks and blocks of Shriner floats, Scouts, bands, baton twirl- ers, gym- nasts, local politicians and businesses. “Why are they allowed on the road?” asked Rachel Horton, 3. “They’re allowed on the road because the road is closed,” answered her mother Michelle Horton. “Why is the road closed?” asked Rachel. “So they can have a parade,” said Ms. Horton. Darren Middleton was waiting to watch his daughter performing in the parade with the McGrath Highland Dancers. The girls danced down the street with kilts over their track pants. “This is our first time at the parade. It’s always on my daughter’s birthday,” said Mr. Middleton Lana Loveman brought her 11-month- old daughter, Samantha, to her first Santa Claus Parade. “We can’t see Santa at night. It’s her sec- ond Christmas, but she was only a few days old (last year),” said Ms. Loveman. Elmo made an appearance with the stu- dents of Glengrove Public School, and nearly stole the show from the other jolly red character. Kevin Bain, the man behind the Elmo mask, couldn’t stop to watch the rest of the parade with his children with- out a line of kids forming to have their pic- tures taken with him. “It’s awesome. If I can get the cos- tume again for sure I’ll be back next year,” said Mr. Bain. After the parade, the children were all sticky candy-cane smiles and cold, bright red noses as parents hustled them back to the warmth of their cars. “It puts you in the Christmas spirit,” said Laura Tasker, who watched the parade with her family. “I prefer the Pickering one. The Santa’s the best.” To see more photos from this event visit durhamregion.com PICKERING -- (Above) Vanessa Vasquez and her one-year-old daughter Ariela Collymore took in the annual Pickering Santa Claus Parade Saturday morning.

Campaign director Robert Howard says many Durham residents give through work- place programs in Toronto or other GTA com- munities, which means their money goes to other United Ways. “When you give at work you can designate Durham,” he says. “A lot of people don’t know that, we want to raise awareness. We would like to see money from Durham residents stay in their home community.” The United Way campaign kicked off in September and runs until Dec. 20. This year’s goal is to raise $250,000 in new money. The 2012 campaign raised $3.8 mil- lion. United Way Durham Region is an umbrel- la charity that supports more than 45 local organizations and 200 programs, including food banks, after-school programs, shelters and employment services. Mr. Howard says the core of the United Way’s mission is the idea that helping those who are the least advantaged creates a com- munity that is stronger and more resilient.

AJAX NISSAN 500 Bayly Street West, Ajax, ON Tel: (905) 686-0555 www.ajax.nissan.ca Durham teen charged after toddler seriously injured Child leaves Toronto hospital after treatment for burns OSHAWA -- An Oshawa boy who sustained serious inju- ries on Nov. 3 is being released from hospital after receiv- ing treatment for burns. A 14-year-old Oshawa girl has been charged with aggra- vated assault in connection with the incident. On Sunday, Nov. 3 at 10:30 a.m., police and paramedics responding to an emergency call from an Oshawa apart- ment complex found a two-year-old child with serious injuries, including burns, that were deemed to be sus- picious. The child was taken to hospital and later trans- ferred to the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto for fur- ther treatment. Police launched an investigation and a 14-year-old Oshawa girl was subsequently arrested and charged with aggravated assault. She was held for a bail hearing, but cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Police said the child is expected to make a full recov- ery. “I can’t begin to explain how exstatic (sic) we are with this news. He does not require surgery and his burns are healing amazingly!!!” said the child’s mother on a Face- book page created to support the family. Anyone with new information regarding this investiga- tion is asked to contact Det. Andy Bussanich of the Major Crime Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit 1-888-579- 1520 ext. 5324. Anonymous tips can be made to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.dur- hamregionalcrimestoppers.ca. Tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. Behind the story: Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division became aware of this story earlier this week when we received emails from separate readers questioning the accuracy of a Facebook page that was cre- ated to help raise funds for the victim in this story. At that time Dur- ham Regional Police had not laid any charges which raised ques- tions among those readers as to whether the Facebook page was a legitimate fundraising effort and not a hoax. We were able to con- firm the details of the case once it became a matter of public record and police laid charges. Under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, we cannot identify the victim, or publish any informa- tion that serves to identify the victim, without the express permis- sion of the youth’s parents or a judge. In this case, Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division contacted the family to seek per- mission to identify the victim. The family declined which prevents us from providing any additional details, such as those related to fundraising efforts.such as those related to fundraising efforts. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 1 3 , 2 0 1 3 19 AP TEL: 905-428-1711 •FA X: 905-428-0863 Hours: Monday to Friday 9:00 am - 9:00 pm •Saturday 9:00 am - 6:00 pm •Sunday 10 :00 am - 5:00 pm 75 Bayly St.,W.(Baywood/No Fr ills Plaza) Ajax Senior ’s Day Last Monday of each month SAVE 20%.

It has become a slam dunk every year that Pickering and Notre Dame will collide to determine the top team in the region. This year is no different, as the top two teams through the regular season will meet again tonight at Durham College, with tip- off scheduled for 7:15 p.m. The game will conclude a day of championships that start earlier in the afternoon and include all lev- els and divisions. Pickering enters this year’s final as the overwhelming favourite, finishing 9-0 in league play while outscoring the opposi- tion 463-172 in the process. They also rolled through their semifinal, 51-19 over J. Clarke, and have prevailed twice in previous meet- ings with Notre Dame, winning 44-24 in the final of the Durham College Classic tourna- ment and 53-30 in league play. “I knew we were pretty solid this year, but I knew Notre Dame was pretty solid too,” says Pickering head coach Mike Gordensky. “We’re pretty deep. We’re small and quick. We like to pressure the ball and play up- tempo.” Cheylanye Bailey and Nikkita Telesford lead the Pickering charge, who returned the majority of a young team from last season that reached the LOSSA final, but lost 35-27 to Notre Dame. Pickering entered the game having won back-to-back LOSSA champi- onships in 2010 and 2011. Notre Dame, who finished second in league play at 8-1 and slipped past Dun- barton 61-54 in the semifinals, will be look- ing for a repeat of some of last year’s magic in the LOSSA final. They will also be look- ing for a little revenge on the previous two defeats to Pickering this season. “I think they are going to use it for moti- vation,” says Notre Dame head coach Rose Booker. “Every tournament we’ve got stron- ger. I think we’ve peaked. “We’ve got a core of our girls graduat- ing, so this will be their last game. When it comes down to one game, we’re going to use that to our advantage.” Booker will be looking to implement a game plan that takes advantage of her team’s height. “I think we’re bigger inside so we have to use that. They have quick guards and we know that, so we have to stick to our game plan.” Gordensky cited a couple of keys to victo- ry for his team. “Defence and turnovers,” he says. “We’re going to have to pressure them, get some turnovers and get some easy baskets and we’re going to have to shoot the ball well.” In the Quad-A junior final that will pre- cede the senior game, Notre Dame will play J. Clarke. Notre Dame finished the LOSSA season undefeated at 11-0, while J. Clarke was tied for second at 9-2. No surprise as Pickering, Notre Dame meet in LOSSA final Former Panther shines with Gens Aidan Wallace scores three goals in pair of weekend wins Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- This was to be a big season for Aidan Wallace to prove himself to the Oshawa Generals brass, so you can imagine his pain at having to miss the first 12 games. Perhaps not the extent of the pain, howev- er. Wallace, who played only six games with the Generals a year ago when he spent the bulk of the season with the Pickering Pan- thers, made sure he was in the best shape of his life in the summer, only to suffer bro- ken ribs when he was checked into an open bench door during a pre-season game. It took him seven weeks to recover, includ- ing two that were so painful he couldn’t sleep more than two hours a night. But, Wallace is not only back now, he’s playing his best hockey yet, which was rewarded with a first star nod Sunday after he scored twice in a 6-5 shootout win for the Generals over the Belleville Bulls at the General Motors Centre. “It’s something I’ll remember forever for sure,” said Wallace, who also scored in Sat- urday’s 5-3 road win over the Niagara Ice- Dogs, just his second career OHL goal. “I definitely didn’t see that coming, but I’m just sticking to my game and playing within the system and it’s working well for me.” Wallace was one of two surprise leaders Sunday, as many of the Generals’ top guns were visibly tired from having played six games in nine nights. Brian Hughes also scored twice, giving him just three for the season, including a dramatic tying goal with 1.8 seconds left on the clock, on a Generals’ power play and with goalie Daniel Altshuller on the bench for an extra attacker. Wallace, a five-foot-10, 180-pound wing- er from Markham, was drafted in the sixth round by the London Knights in 2011 and traded to the Generals for a draft pick just before Christmas last year. He played in just six games with Oshawa last year, picking up an assist, while putting up 10-12-22 num- bers in 52 games with the Panthers. “I got to play a lot down there and got to go to a bunch of prospects games and the development games they have,” Wallace said of his time with the Panthers. “I learned a lot and honed my skills.” Smith gave Wallace plenty of chances to shine Sunday, and he responded, chipping the puck past a defenceman and scoring short-handed early in the second period, then crashing the net to poke home his sec- ond late in the frame. “He’s a guy that works shift in, shift out, and usually doesn’t get rewarded,” said Smith. “He’s been great for us, kills penal- ties, blocks shots, does what he has to for his teammates, and it’s great to see him get two goals, but he plays the right way nine out of 10 nights.” Given the busy schedule, several injuries and the fact the team attended the funer- al of Will Petschenig’s father last week, it’s remarkable the Generals have managed to win seven of their past eight games. “We’ve got a lot of character in the room, it’s just all about that,” explained Wallace, while admitting he is surprised with the big lead the team has atop the standings. “I don’t think anyone in the world saw that coming, but it’s good. We’ve been working hard and we’ve been sticking to our systems and pulling out wins.” The Generals have another busy weekend ahead, hosting Ottawa Friday, travelling to Owen Sound Saturday and back home against Windsor Sunday. OSHAWA -- Former Pickering Panther Aidan Wallace had a pair of goals and was named the first star for the Oshawa Generals in Sunday’s win over Belleville. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Figure skating Bronze for Pickering’s Asher Hill in ice dance DORTMUND, GERMANY -- Ice dancers Asher Hill of Pickering and Kharis Ralph of Toronto won bronze at the NRW Trophy, a senior inter- national ice dance competition in Dortmund, Germany. Hill and Ralph sat in fourth following a short dance of 50.35 points, but managed to climb on the podium with the third-best free dance of the weekend (79.92), for a total score of 130.27 points. The represen- tatives of Scar- borough FSC were happy with the result, coming off a fourth-place fin- ish the previous weekend at the Cup of Nice. “It has been a long two weeks, so it wasn’t the best free dance, but we are happy with tonight’s performance,” Ralph stated following the com- petition on Sunday. The Italian duo of Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri handily won the gold with 144.28 points overall. Alisa Agafonova and Alper Ucar of Turkey edged out the Canadians by 2.19 points, scoring 132.46 overall to win silver. PICKERING -- Asher Hill, of Pickering, and his ice dance partner, Kharis Ralph, won a bronze medal at a senior inter- national competition in Dortmund, Germany. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 1 3 , 2 0 1 3 21 AP 1-888-806-1856 triosdurham.com CONTACTUS TODAY! • BUSINESS • TECHNOLOGY • HEALTHCARE • LAW • SUPPLY CHAIN 1-888-806-1856 triosdurham.com OSHAWA: 200 JOHN ST.

POLAK, Henry - Passed away peacefully on Monday, November 11, 2013. Born in Oshawa, Ontario December 26, 1930. Survived by his beloved wife Lois Polak, his children Michael (April), John (Lisa), Jean, Andrew (Rebecca), his step-children Jennifer, Alexandra (Jeff), Jamie (the late Barbara), 6 grandchildren, 4 step- grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren and his sister Helene. He will be lovingly remembered by Henry and Lois' many nieces and nephews. Henry graduated from Victoria College, University of Toronto 5T3. He was appointed Queen's Council 12 years after he graduated, which was the earliest that this prestigious distinction could be conferred. Henry was the founding partner of Polak, McKay and Hawkshaw. In 2007, he was granted a life membership in the Law Society of Upper Canada in recognition of completing more than 50 years in his chosen profession. Henry served as Reeve for the Town of Ajax during a time of significant expansion for the municipality. Other public service included serving as a reserve officer in the Ontario Regiment, a member and Chairman of the Ajax Public School Board, a member of the Ontario County Board of Education, Chairman of the Ajax Hydro Commission, President of the Ajax Pickering United Way, President of the Ontario County Bar Association, Chairman of the Durham Region Children's Aid Society, Trustee and Board Member of Pickering Village United Church. In addition, Henry was the founding Chairman of the Durham Region District Health Council and the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital Community Advisory Board. He was an honourary life member of the Royal Canadian Legion and a past District Secretary of District Number 8 of the Kinsmen Clubs of Canada. Henry Polak was devoted to his family, was a respected leader in the legal community and was dedicated to both his long-time home of Ajax and the broader community. Henry will be missed by all who knew and loved him. The family expresses their sincere thanks to Dr. David Sliwowicz, Dr. Ashok Mukherjee and Dr. Romas Stas, as well as the staff on 2 North in Rouge Valley Hospital, in Ajax. Visitation will be held at McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME (28 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax 905-428-8488) on Thursday, November 14 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm.
