DURHAM -- The Pan Am Games may not open until next summer but if you want a ticket to see any of the events, you’ll have to go online and request tickets by Oct. 6. On Sept. 15, ticket requests went live on the Toronto2015 Pan Am Games website at 10 a.m. After years of organizing and many more of building facilities for the Games, the public was finally able to get in on the action. Teddy Katz, a Toronto2015 Pan Am spokesman, said depending on the ticket demand for specific events, a lottery will take place to determine who gets tickets.

Donations to the food bank have been lower than usual this year, forcing the facility to spend $5,000 to bolster supplies this summer. The Thanksgiving Food Drive is from Oct. 3 to 13.

The 144-can haul cost $232. It won’t last long. “When you’re serving 60 people a day, it doesn’t go very far,” says director Margaret Jocz. It would be ideal if the local food bank didn’t need to buy food at all. But, supplies are getting low as the number of clients in need continues to climb. “We had a big drop in dona- tions over the summer,” Ms. Jocz explains.

N o identification of person who died in Pickering fire Monday night Neighbours say garage was glowing ‘orange’ Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- One person is dead after a garage fire broke out in Pickering Mon- day night. Pickering Fire Chief John Hagg says the fire started just before 8 p.m. on Sept. 15 in the garage of a home on Pebblestone Crescent. “The fire was fully involved on our arrival,” he says. On Tuesday morning neighbours and passersby stopped to watch as investiga- tors sifted through the rubble of the gut- ted garage. Teresa Colangelo lives nearby and was out for an evening run Monday when she spotted the blaze. “The garage was glowing orange, it was just all flames,” she says. Neighbour Chris Terry watched Mon- day night fire as crews worked to knock down the fire and says he could feel the heat from across the road. “It seemed like it got really big really fast. It was a lot of smoke and flames,” he says. Fire officials say the person who died was found in the garage. No one else was in the home at the time and there was no damage to neighbour- ing homes. Chief Hagg wasn’t able to confirm the deceased person’s age, sex or whether they were a resident of the home. “This is a police investigation now,” he said, noting the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office was also on scene Monday night. Durham Regional Police Sergeant Bill Calder said a post-mortem is scheduled for Tuesday morning. “We don’t know if it’s suspicious at this time,” he said. PICKERING -- Durham police, along with fire investigators, were at the scene of a fatal fire on Pebblestone Crescent Sept. 15. The fire claimed the life of a person found in the garage of the home.

The Region has been fielding calls about people going door-to-door implying that they work for the Region replacing water meters. Residents are asked to allow access to their indoor water meter to verify the model for replacement. If someone shows up at your door, the Region has some tips to protect yourself from scams: • Ask for identification. All Region employees and authorized contractors carry photo ID. • Did you request this house call? Region staff won’t visit without a prior appointment when replacing or upgrading water meters. • Call the organization to confirm that the visit is legitimate. • Don’t feel pressured to sign contracts or papers on the spot. • Never give out your personal information. • The Region will never test water in your house without a scheduled appointment -- staff sample water from hydrants on the street. The Region has a residential water meter replacement/upgrade program with its con- tractor, Neptune Technology Group. Before contractors show up, residents receive an official letter from the Region of Durham notifying them of the replacement or upgrade, which is done at no charge. Residents also receive a letter from Nep- tune Technology Group explaining how to book an appointment -- contractors do not show up unannounced. For more information on water meter replacements, call 905-655-3344.

I read the article on the body found in the Lowe’s shed. It’s very unfortunate that some feel suicide is an answer. I have one comment about, perhaps, further articles. Ambulance attendants and drivers, general- ly, are no longer terms used for an EMS or paramedic service. They are called paramedics and that is a recognized term as per any education- al institution and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, the main governing body. Dan Gagnon John O’Toole makes Clarington the election race to watch While I was at the Ajax casino last Friday attempt- ing to learn how to play baccarat from a machine, the office was abuzz with the last-minute list of candidates for the 2014 municipal election. And the last-minute candidates didn’t let us down. None raised more eyebrows in the newsroom than the race for mayor in Clarington, where former MPP John O’Toole signed up just hours before the 2 p.m. dead- line. He will now face incumbent Adrian Foster in what I think will be the most exciting mayoral race in Dur- ham. Mr. O’Toole is a very familiar face in the east end of Durham and at the Clarington Terry Fox Run Sunday he told me many people asked him to run. Mayor Foster hasn’t made many glaring mistakes this term so this mayoral race will be one to keep an eye on. The other very interesting race will be in Oshawa where Mayor John Henry is facing a challenge from former mayor John Gray. Mayor Henry beat Mr. Gray by more than 6,000 votes in 2010 but this has been a tumultuous term and voters might take out their anger on the person at the top of the food chain. With Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins removing her name from the ballot to attempt a federal run for the Conservatives, Don Mitchell shouldn’t have too much trouble in Whitby and Ajax Mayor Steve Parish will be mayor of that community for as long as he wants the job. The other interesting fight should be in Pickering where incumbent Dave Ryan is facing challenger Mau- rice Brenner. Mayor Ryan won in 2010 by 1,700 votes so a close race is possible again in Pickering. Durham voters will also choose a regional chair- man this year but Roger Anderson has the name rec- ognition and will be tough to beat. We have started planning our coverage for both election night and the final six weeks of the campaign so keep an eye on these pages to learn all about the people seeking your votes. Managing editor Mike Johnston won $10 at the baccarat table by always betting on the dealer. He still hasn’t figured out the game. Mike Johnston Managing Editor Election Durham Region is growing, maturing A lot has changed in Durham Region in 40 years, and a lot has stayed the same. As we mark the 40th anniversary of the Region’s formation in 1974, a vast number of residents have never known the area to be anything other than what it is now, a family of eight municipalities stretching from the lakeshore communities of Pickering in the west to Clarington in the east, and north- ward to Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock. It is our home, and while there are challenges to be met, there is much to be grateful for. When the inaugural regional council was formed, the first order of the day was to amalgamate the towns and counties, and bring services and staff under the regional umbrella to operate efficiently. Durham’s forefathers recall that in those days, most of the real growth in the GTA was to the west and Mississauga, but our day was to come. The population of Durham Region has swelled from an initial 228,000 to 650,000 today, and the shifting landscape has seen many open fields swallowed by residen- tial and urban development. Managing the growth responsibly has been and contin- ues to be a primary concern of local govern- ments and the citizens who elect them. But the history of Durham will shift again with the next municipal election on Oct. 27 of this year, when for the first time citizens will be asked to choose their next region- al chairman on the ballot. Until now, the choice of chairman was left to appointment by the regional councillors following an election. The new system is something that Durham residents have said they prefer, so it’s incumbent on everyone to cast their vote in the upcoming election and have input into the Region’s future as we collectively meet the challenges that still lie ahead. Over the years, the key issues in Durham Region have evolved but the basic parame- ters remain the same: we grapple with grid- lock and transit needs, affordable housing, accessible health care, property taxes and responsible urban planning. Change is con- stant but the need for wise leadership and effective planning will remain, perhaps to become more important than ever as we face new challenges, such as an aging popu- lation. We enjoy the best of both urban and rural life, with accessible outdoor pursuits that include the waterfront trail, marinas, con- servation areas, a network of hiking and biking trails, ski hills and equestrian cen- tres. The urban areas to the south offer rich cultural and artistic experiences, while easy day trips take us to the quaint and historic towns in the rural communities, where we can visit farms and orchards, connecting with nature. We do, really, have it all. Here’s to the next 40 years. More food, less fobbing There is an aisle in my grocery store labeled ‘Natural Foods’. I find this a lit- tle alarming because doesn’t that, by the process of deduction, make the rest of the items in the store ‘Unnatural Foods’? Or perhaps ‘Kind of Natural Foods’? I don’t know. I now live with a woman who is so food conscious she makes Euell Gibbons look like Roseanne Barr. And try as I might to maintain a steady intake of white pasta, cookies and homo milk, she is rubbing off a little. I have found myself going Organic. I like the idea behind the whole Organ- ic deal. It seems like the right thing to do. I would hope the concept of putting clean, pesticide-, toxin- and chemical- free food into our bodies makes perfect sense to most people living outside of Las Vegas. Plus, it sounds like orgasmic and who wouldn’t want to eat something that promised that much fun? My issue with the Organic movement, however, is that every time I fork over what amounts to a car pay- ment for a handful of ‘organic’ bananas or something, part of me -- and it’s not an insubstantial part of me -- feels like a suck- er. I like to think I treat my body like a tem- ple, or at least a really cool bowling alley. And I want to put good things in my body, but flags go up when my grocery bill begins to look more like my sons’ tuition fees. And the only guarantee I have that I am not a gilded member of the Chump of the Month club is a sticker. I have no real proof that the organic, free-range chicken I just maxed-out my credit card on wasn’t raised in some stinking, poultry gulag where it was injected more times daily than Janis Joplin. All I have is the sticker! Think about this. Isn’t walking into a gro- cery store and paying a huge premium for something that has an ‘organic’ label on it tantamount to paying through the nose for a vehicle because it had a ‘Just Way Better’ ribbon across the hood? How do you really know? Anyone who has read more than a few of these columns will tell you that I am not normally such a skeptic. I’m usually just the opposite. I’m the guy who sleeps on Earthing Sheets and walks around with crystals in his pockets. I’m hardly Rich- ard Dawkins. I’m more like Richard Daw- son. But I come by this attitude honest- ly. A while ago I overheard an unscrupu- lous beef farmer laughing about how he’d pulled one over on the folks responsible for attaching that organic sticker. How he’d fobbed off his hormone-stuffed beef as being green, natural and full of organic goodness. I hate people who fob. I really wish this were a fobless world. It’s darkly funny, but buying my grocer- ies has now become an almost religious experience in that it requires faith. I don’t know for certain that something is organic or free range or natural. But I want them to be. I want them to be so much that I don’t mind spending ridiculous sums of money to foster an industry that I want to become the norm. A part of me may still feel like a sucker, but I still have faith in people. I have faith that things are always getting better. And most importantly, I have faith that people who fob eventually get what’s coming to them.

Today’s employees place a great deal of emphasis on their personal network and their working relationships. According to Tom Turpin, President, Randstad Canada, the results say a lot about the motivations and aspirations of today’s job seekers and employees. “Today’s Cana- dian workers are very connected, informed, mobile and flexible’’, says Turpin. “The results seem to show that pursuing a lead- ership role or reaching a specific salary fig- ure are not the main driving forces behind Canadians’ motivation at work. “Employers who want to attract and retain the best talent need to pay a lot of atten- tion to their internal communication ini- tiatives, team dynamics, and training and career development programs, to keep their employees driven and passionate about what they do.’’ Other highlights from the survey: • 28 per cent respondents say that they are inspired by innovative thinkers, and only • 8 per cent say they are inspired by well- known, corporate CEOs. • Close to 46 per cent respondents say they never or almost never use a mentor to help them defining their professional goals, whereas less than a third indicating that they use a mentor. When it comes to marketing themselves professionally, 64 per cent of respondents say they always or almost always rely on reg- ular contacts with friends and colleagues, and 46 per cent said they never or almost never use networking and events. Fully 42 per cent respondents say they don’t use social media for professional pur- poses, but only for personal purposes. Respondents think that experience has a greater impact (39 per cent) than education. Source: Randstad Canada The InBox Magda Kuczpa: Is it really that dif- ficult to just slow down? William Doe: I think it’s sad because it only four days. Also they need to change the way traffic don’t obey the bus stop signs. Maybe time to have active cameras or some type of scanner to report traffic that disobey bus crossings. Always safety around school area but nothing new for bus crossings??? Cindy Wells: When my brother first got his license he went through a bus stop sign in my dad’s car on hwy 2. Someone reported the license plate and we had police at the door that night ready to give my dad a ticket. So don’t hesitate to report the plate of a car not obeying bus signs; they get followed up on. Derrick Webber: And so many peo- ple say that giving out speeding tick- ets is a cash grab. This is important to try to keep us all safe. Even if it is not near a school. Slow down. Tracy Vetzal Mainwaring: The inter- section of Rossland and Country Lane is horrible in the morning. Cars doing u turns so they don’t have to wait in long left turn lanes, cars just suddenly stopping on Country Lane to drop kids off. It’s nuts. And further up Country Lane, having one crossing guard at a four way stop causes a lot of confusion...no one knows who’s next. Mark Morissette: How about stop- ping with the blitzes and hiring full- time dedicated traffic police, both at the local and OPP level? Our roads are quickly becoming free for alls in this province due to a simple lack of enforcement the other 99.5% of the time when there are no blitzes on. April Patch: Parking in no parking zones around schools is also a safety issue as buses can’t get in and out safely, crossing guards if present have to look around cars, and it blocks traffic flow. Please consider this if you are parking around a school for pickups/drop offs, instead of the “it’s only a few minutes” mentality. The life of a child is most definitely worth the walk to park safely but a little further from the school. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Se p t e m b e r 1 7 , 2 0 1 4 8 AP visit our new site badboy.ca A P P R E C I A T I O N E V E N T STEAMH.E.WASHER STEAMDRYER AVAILABLE IN CHROME $1598 ADD$200FOR GASDRYER • Stainless Steel Wash Basket• Adaptive Clean Wash System• Direct Drive Motor • Wrinkle Shield™ PlusOption• Quad Baffles 4.7cu.ft.7.4cu.ft. $400$20 $1498 PAIR PRICE #906857 Experience the colours of fall with these great offers from your local Subaru dealers. *MSRP of $29,295/$24,795 on 2015 Outback 2.5i (FD2 BP)/2015 Legacy 2.5i (FA2 BP).

And in a separate ruling on the same case, the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld a judge’s rul- ing granting Hamidreza Safa- rzadeh-Markhali enhanced credit for pretrial custody, even though he was denied bail because of his prior criminal record. The decisions uphold two key rulings by Ontario Court Justice Michael Block. The appeal court ruling, written by Justice George R. Stra- thy and endorsed by Jus- tices Marc Rosenberg and David Watt, was released Wednesday. The case differed from many in that both Mr. Safarza- deh-Markhali and the Crown lodged appeals -- Mr. Safa- rzadeh-Markh- ali to his convic- tion, and the Crown to a decision by Justice Block to grant the defen- dant enhanced credit for pre- trial custody, cutting 31 months from the six-year penitentiary term he was given. Mr. Safarzadeh-Markhali was busted after a Durham offi- cer stopped him as he drove in Pickering in 2010. A search of his vehicle led to the seizure of a partially-smoked marijuana joint and a loaded .22 calibre pistol. The officer testified at a trial in Oshawa that he initiat- ed the stop after smelling mari- juana coming from the car and seeing the suspect smoking the joint. Lawyers for Mr. Safarzadeh- Markhali argued the stop and search were arbitrary, and based on the his ethnicity. They relied on the arresting officer’s observation the suspect was “Arabic” looking. The appeal court upheld Justice Block’s finding that police had grounds to make the stop after seeing Mr. Safarza- deh-Markhali smoking what appeared to be a joint, and smelling marijua- na smoke emanating from the vehicle. “The trial judge found there was no evidence to suggest Mr. Safarzadeh-Markhali’s ethnici- ty influenced the officer’s belief that he was smoking marijua- na,” Justice Strathy wrote. “I see no basis on which to interfere with the trial judge’s conclu- sion.” The court also rejected a Crown argument that Justice Block erred in giving Mr. Safa- rzadeh-Markhali enhanced credit for the time he spent in pretrial custody. The Durham judge ruled that provisions in the federal gov- ernment’s Truth in Sentenc- ing Act unfairly penalize defen- dants denied bail because of previous offences. Mr. Safarzadeh-Markhali had been previously convict- ed of offences including aggra- vated assault and possession of a restricted firearm, and at the time of his 2010 arrest was bound by an order not to pos- sess weapons.

It’s the trickle-down effect. People who used to donate a lot donate less. People who used to donate a little, maybe they’re not donating at all.” So far in 2014, the food bank has provided assistance to 6,340 Ajax and Pickering resi- dents, compared to 5,263 at the same time last year. About 40 per cent of the clients are chil- dren. Volunteers are hoping the community will come through in a big way for the annual Thanksgiving food drive taking place from Oct. 3 to 14. “When you’re sitting down with your family and having a decent meal, stop and think. Think about the people in the community who can’t do that,” says Trevor Chambers, who has been volunteering with St. Paul’s on-the-Hill food bank for the past five years. He is one of about 40 volunteers who keep the operation up and running by picking up and sorting donations, organizing pre- packed boxes of food, and anything else that needs to be done. The food bank, open Tuesday and Friday mornings, typically serves about 60 people a day. In August there were 276 visits, which rep- resented 750 people. One client, a single woman raising two grandchildren, says she has been coming to the food bank for years. “If it wasn’t for the food bank I would have serious problems,” she said. Another client, a single mother of three, described the food bank as a “great help.” Ms. Jocz says clients come from all walks of life and include people who are unem- ployed, the working poor, people with seri- ous diseases such as cancer, and those with mental health challenges. The numbers consistently go up every year and there is always the concern that the food bank won’t be able to meet the need. “We’re not the solution, we need a mini- mum living wage. You can’t feed a family on minimum wage,” Ms. Jocz says. “But for now, we’re what people have.” Food donation boxes will be available at Pickering fire halls and several local grocery stores. Donors are reminded to make sure non- perishable food items are in good condition and not past their best-before date. Financial donations are also needed. Because the food bank is run entirely by volunteers, 100 per cent of money donated goes towards operations. Donated funds are used to cover expenses such as rent, equipment upgrades, fresh milk and eggs for clients, as well as any food that needs to be purchased to keep the shelves full. Visit www.stpaulsonthehillfoodbank.ca for more information.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Implementing zoning bylaw not expected until December at the earliest Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering council has given the green light for the Durham Live proposal to move forward. On Sept. 15 council voted 4-3 to endorse an application to rezone three pieces of land in the Bayly and Church Streets area, to build a huge tourist destination. “We are very pleased that council has put their support behind Durham Live,” said Steve Apostolopoulos, president of Pickering Developments. “We can now move to the next stages of the planning process for this exciting tourist destination. This project has tremendous potential for the City of Pickering and the Durham Region.” So, what happens next? Catherine Rose, the City’s chief planner, says this is the beginning of what will be a long process. “People don’t realize how much work there is in the background,” she says, noting it’s not unusual for major development proj- ects to take five years to get off the ground. The next step is for City staff to com- plete an “implement- ing zoning bylaw” and take it back to council for approval. The earliest that will happen is Dec. 15, when the new council meets after the munic- ipal election. “This is a very unique and complex zoning bylaw, it’s not cookie cutter,” Ms. Rose said. The implementing zoning bylaw will include recommendations on things such as density, height, scale and timelines for the development. If council approves that bylaw, the next step is for the applicant to start work- ing on the necessary environmental reports and development agreements to move the project forward. From there Pickering Developments can go to council and ask to have holding provi- sions lifted, which paves the way for site plan approval and building permits. The lands will be zoned under a new cat- egory called “major tourist destination,” which will allow for about 40 uses includ- ing hotels, offices, a water park, film stu- dio -- and most con- troversially -- a casi- no. Debate about the merits of a casino in Pickering has been the main focus since the first meeting on the Durham Live proposal back in April. Concerned residents on both sides of the issue packed council chambers for back-to- back committee meetings Sept. 2 and 8 -- the first of which ran until 1 a.m. and finally had to be cut off when council reached its curfew. A handful of speakers made an eleventh- hour effort to change council’s position at the Sept. 15 meeting, including Sue Quack- enbush, who urged council to use “common sense” and do more due diligence before deciding. “When something is established, settled and working, it makes no sense to mess with it,” she said. “What is the rush to make this really important decision now?” Chief Kelly LaRocca of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation was disappointed after the vote, saying the Durham Live devel- opment stands to hurt Great Blue Heron Casino. “You can’t create more gaming customers, this is just going to shift and move them and rob some facilities to feed others,” she said. A City report says the application repre- sents good planning and that Durham Live could provide “significant positive financial and economic benefits to the City in terms of jobs, tax assessment and other potential rev- enues to the City.” An economic impact assessment submit- ted by the developer estimates the project could create 7,500 to 12,000 direct jobs and generate annual municipal taxes of about $50 million. The Sept. 15 meeting was Pickering’s coun- cil’s last scheduled meeting before the Oct. 27 municipal election.

OSHAWA -- There was a time when Jim Potter built a house with his own two hands. Now because of arthritis and other com- plications from kidney failure, he’s almost apologetic because he has difficulty shak- ing hands in a welcoming gesture. The Oshawa resident is sitting com- fortably in a chair on the fifth floor of his Oshawa apartment. His wife, Judy, answers the door with a warm and wel- coming smile, and within steps of being inside, there is a feeling of comfort. It’s where the happy couple spend their days and evenings. With Jim on dialysis and strength in his arms and legs decreas- ing, outings have been eliminated. A couple of weeks ago, there was a fam- ily reunion at the Mandarin, the first time out in years, says Jim. Even spending a lit- tle time out on a nice summer’s day is next to impossible. “I went out in my wheelchair,” on a warm day with the aid of a personal care work- er, he says. “Across the parking lot is a little grassy area and that was my outing for the summer. It was just for the one afternoon, sitting with the sun on my face.” Jim, who will turn 90 on Nov. 1, was born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, the youngest of six, the other five all sisters. “It’s obvious what they were doing,” he chuckles of the quest his parents were on to have a boy. In 1929 his family moved to Toronto, and when he turned 18, he joined the Navy for three years. “It was there,” he shrugs of the reason- ing. “They wanted people. I would have been drafted into the service, so I thought I might as well join the Navy, which I liked.” At the end of the Second World War in 1945, he recalls being in the Irish Sea on a Corvette Canadian Navy ship tracking an enemy boat he caught on radar. It eventually went off the screen, but was later trapped. He worked a variety of jobs after the war, including plumbing and construction, but ended up in the medical field as an ortho- pedic technologist. It’s at the Toronto Grace Hospital where he met Judy, a regis- tered nurse at the time, as the two crossed paths frequently. After a couple of years dating, they married in 1986. “I don’t know what happened,” says Judy in thinking back to the start of their rela- tionship. “We just started dating and got married.” Jim has four kids from a previous mar- riage, Judy three. Combined there are 10 grandkids and one great-grandson. They settled into Gelert, near Haliburton and Minden, building a home on the Drag River, where they lived for 14 years, taking in foster children. It was there that the ini- tial health problems began. “Things were just going strange,” remem- bers Judy. “We went to the renal clinic one time. They thought he was diabetic. He’s not. They put him on more medication and we’re driving, and he’s a good driver, and he was all over the road. I said, ‘What are you doing? Stop the car’. “He pulled over, stopped the car and he looked awful.” Jim started to collapse without warn- ing at home. He began using an overnight dialysis machine, but didn’t like it. He now has a catheter. In 2007, they moved to Oshawa to live with Judy’s son, moving into their current residence a year later. In all of the trips to the doctor, the words terminal and a time frame have never been used. “They didn’t need to,” says Jim. “There’s no cure. When your other organs break down, you’re going downhill. Dialysis will only look after some parts of your body.” A volunteer who accompanies them to the renal clinic suggested they seek out help and guidance from the Durham Hos- pice, which they did. Every Thursday, for a couple of hours, a volunteer from the Hos- pice takes Judy out. “It doesn’t matter to me where we go,” she says. In a couple of weeks she is going to join a support group for caregivers through the Hospice, “I didn’t think I needed it, but I think I do,” she says. Despite the situation, they are working together. Jim isn’t bitter or angry, just frus- trated with his state. “I don’t know how he stands it,” says Judy in admiration of her husband’s dis- position. “He never complains.” Durham Hospice palliative care and bereavement support are available and accessible to people in Durham Region experiencing illness, death and/or grief.

I received a text from my brother asking me if I was doing The Mud Hero this year and if I was getting a team together. I told him that I was doing a run ( where they throw colour bombs at you) at end of August in Oshawa and asked him if he wanted to join. I told him that I just finished reading that Beth was going into her 5th round of chemo. It got me thinking that we could help the family with support of some kind during this time. $370 Raised Feed the need There are too many children in this world who go hungry.

On Sept. 15, ticket requests went live on the Toronto2015 Pan Am Games website at 10 a.m. After years of organizing and many more of building facilities for the Games, the public was finally able to get in on the action. Teddy Katz, a Toronto2015 Pan Am spokesman, said depending on the ticket demand for specific events, a lottery will take place to determine who gets tickets. “We have to see which events are the highest in demand,” he said. “(The lottery) is the fairest way to make tickets available.” One of the most popular draws at the Pan Am Games historically has been baseball. With Canada set to defend its gold medal over the United States at the Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, it’s a sure bet the demand for baseball tickets at the President’s Choice Ajax Pan Am Ballpark will be high. “The men are going to be defending the gold. There’s going to be some fierce com- petition there,” Mr. Katz said. Ajax will host the baseball and softball events while Oshawa hosts weightlifting and boxing at the GM Centre. Whitby hosts Parapan Am Games judo and boccia at the Abilities Centre but ticket requests for those events won’t go live until the spring. “It really is an exciting time for us,” Mr. Katz said. “People are seeing things open- ing so they know the Games are getting closer and closer.” The Pan Am Games run from July 10 to 26, 2015 with more than 6,000 athletes from 41 countries competing for a spot on the podium. Mr. Katz said it’s anticipated about 175,000 spectators will take in the softball and baseball events in Ajax alone. Tickets for the Games run anywhere from $20 per ticket upwards to $140 per ticket for certain medal events. There are also discount tickets for students under 16 and seniors, subject to availability. In Ajax tickets will range from $20 to $35 for softball and baseball while in Oshawa tickets will cost $25 to $75 for boxing and weightlifting. “It’s meant to be affordable,” Mr. Katz said. The most expensive tickets will be those for the opening ceremonies and medal games. The opening ceremony in Toronto is expected to be a big draw with official creative partner Cirque du Soleil perform- ing. Tickets range from $100 to $350. “Our ceremonies and gold-medal event tickets will be in great demand, so we encourage everyone to plan their Games experience now,” said Saäd Rafi, chief executive officer of the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games Organizing Committee (TO2015). Live Nation Entertainment has signed on as the official live music partner for the Games. In a release, Live Nation’s John May said it will secure top Canadian and international acts to support the closing ceremony for the Pan Am Games on Satur- day, July 26, 2015, and the closing ceremo- ny for the Parapan Am Games on Saturday, Aug. 15, 2015. “Live Nation is one of the world’s biggest names in entertainment and we look for- ward to bringing our top talent roster to the Games, matching the top athletes that will be here competing,” he said.

Submitted photo How the TO2015 ticket program works • Request your tickets: Starting Monday, Sept. 15 at 10 a.m. (ET) and running until Monday, Oct. 6 at 9 p.m. (ET), the public can use this early access period to request the hottest Games tickets at TORONTO2015.org/tickets. Along with the official online ticket sales channel, customers may also request tickets by telephone toll-free within Canada and the U.S. at 1-855-726-2015 and internationally at 1-949-333-4824. To ensure fairness, in situations where more tickets are requested than available for an event, customer ticket requests will be placed in a lottery. This lottery system, which is often used at mega-events like the recent Olympic Games in Vancouver and London, ensures everyone will have equal access to the most in-demand tickets. • Ticket order processing: Customers will receive an e-mail in late November 2014 telling them to check their account and see whether their ticket requests were successful. • All tickets not snapped up during the ticket request phase from Sept. 15 to Oct. 6 will be available through general sale, where tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning in December. Further details on this process will be released after the ticket request phase ends.‘‘It really is an exciting time for us.

In the end, the Panthers have sent last year’s leading scorer, Brodie Tutton, to Stouffville in exchange for BJ Salerno. “Now we’re going to settle things down and work with what we have,” said Panthers GM/ head coach Mike Galati. “I like the group of kids we have. I know the new guys are going to be a good addition.” The summer deal included Tutton in exchange for Michael Morgan and Gra- ham Pickard. The hiccup came when it was deemed the travel distance was too far for Morgan, a student at the University of Toron- to. Late last week, Stouffville sent Morgan to North York in exchange for Salerno, who was then flipped to the Panthers for Tutton. Salerno played for North York as a 16 year old in 2011-12, registering 25 points on seven goals and 18 assists in 46 games played. He spent the past two seasons in the USHL, and had a NCAA scholarship lined up at Maine, before switching to Alabama-Huntsville. The trade with Stouffville was the second one Galati pulled off over the weekend. He also sent Tanner Shaw to the Oakville Blades in exchange for forward Joseph Mitchell and defenceman Brian Hurley, both listed as being from New York. Despite the flurry of weekend trades, the process of making deals in the league can be a tricky one, says Galati. “Some guys are easier to trade with than others,” he says. “It’s tough. You trade away guys and you don’t know how good they are going to be. When you trade within the divi- sion, sometimes it bites you. “It’s tough. Everyone wants to make the best deal and everyone wants to come out on top.” School, commuting distance and provid- ing billets are just some of the factors that have to be considering when making a trade, he added. On the upside, the new additions are com- ing to a first-place team, as the Panthers have jumped out of the gate with a 3-1-0-0 record after a pair of weekend victories. On Friday night they slipped by Stouffville 4-3, and then Sunday afternoon, edged the Wellington Dukes 2-1. On Friday, Nicholas Lepone scored twice, while Michael Giacometti and Mark Tenuta added one each in the win over Stouffville. Tenuta’s goal came into an empty net with just 1:13 left for a 4-2 lead, but Stouffville scored again with just 15 seconds left to make it close. Against Wellington, Joseph Mitchell had the game winner in the third period, while Giacometti had a power-play goal in the sec- ond period in the 2-1 win. Goaltender Jordan Cartney faced 57 shots over the weekend in picking up both wins. “I’m happy with the guys so far,” said Galati. “It’s been good. They are working hard and we’re getting better every game.” The Panthers will take a three-game win- ning streak into a pair of weekend games. Their five in a row to start the season on home ice concludes Friday when they host Lindsay at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Rec- reation Complex. On Sunday, they travel to North York. PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers’ Lucas Condotta and Stouffville Spirit’s Cameron Lintner battled over the puck during Ontario Junior Hockey League action at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The Panthers won 4-3. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Pickering’s Cassandra Sribny scores for UOIT OSHAWA -- The UOIT Ridgebacks wom- en’s soccer team is off to a flying start to the OUA season. The Ridgebacks scored four goals in the second half to post a 5-1 victory over Trent University in a recent game. With the teams locked in a 1-1 draw at the half, UOIT head coach Peyvand Mos- savat made some adjustments to his line- up, which included moving Ajax’s Shan- non Lucas to the front line. The move paid off as Lucas broke free and scored on a chip shot at the 53-minute mark, a goal that proved to be the winner. Cassandra Sribny of Pickering opened the scoring early, while Nicole Zajac, Katherine Koehler-Grassau and Alyssia Robichaud added second-half goals. Melissa Linton earned the win in net. The hot streak has continued for the Ridgebacks, who are the only team in the OUA eastern conference without a loss as they have won three straight games and are 4-0-1 on the year. With a game in hand, UOIT sits two points back of the No. 6 ranked Ottawa Gee-Gees (5-1-0), who they beat 3-2 to open the year. © 2014 Mercedes-Benz Canada Inc. *1% rate reduction only applicable on the lease or finance of select 2010, 2011, and 2012 Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.

Devoted husband of 59 years of Betty (deceased). Loving father to Michael (Kathryn), Liz (Roger), Tony (Judy). Proud "Papa" to Lesley-Ann (Dan), Andrew (Pam), Dave, Dana (Dennis). Adoring "Great-Papa" to Julian, Ella, Aidan, Lily. Survived by his dear sister in England, Kath. Lionel proudly served in the Royal Air Force during WWII. He married Betty in 1944 and in 1957 emigrated to Canada. In 1958, Lionel moved his family to Ajax, Ontario, where he became a well-respected member of the community during his 52 year residency. For 25+ years, he enjoyed employment with The Oshawa Group Limited (IGA) where he always had a smile for his customers. Lionel had a special love for his garden, built dollhouses for his granddaughters and Ajax Hospital Auxilliary, was active in his church, the Canadian Legion and served as a volunteer at the Ajax Hospital for 8 years. A daily walk to the Ajax plaza to have a good chat and a cup of coffee with his friends in the "Coffee Gang" brought him great joy. As did his strolls along the Ajax waterfront meeting and greeting passersby. Lionel will be missed but fondly remembered by those who knew him. He loved to whistle while he walked - and always had a song in his heart. If you paused long enough for a chat, he would often treat you to his version of What a Wonderful World - a motto he tried each day to live his life by - and encouraged others to do the same. A private family interment service has already taken place. His family is grateful to Veterans Affairs Canada, the staff at Delmanor Glen Abbey, Oakville, La Salle, Burlington, and Joseph Brant Hospital Palliative Ward for the tremendous support and care provided to Lionel in his final years. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
