The collection will be once a week from the beginning of October to the end of November or the first week of December (depending on your collection area). The collec- tion will be done on the day of a res- ident’s garbage collection. Residents can check their collec- tion calendars, or go to www.dur- ham.ca/waste (select Residential Waste Collection Calendar) to see their specific collection days using the “search by address” online tool. The change affects all municipali- ties except Whitby and Oshawa. About 70 per cent of leaf and yard waste is collected in October and November. From June to Septem- ber, the collection is reduced to every other week due to lower vol- umes. Yard waste should be in kraft paper bags, or clearly labelled rigid open-top reusable containers. Yard waste in plastic bags will not be col- lected. Brush should be securely tied in bundles (limit of three per collection), up to one metre (three feet) in length and 76 centime- tres (30 inches) in width, weigh- ing no more than 20 kilograms (44 pounds). Brush and tree trimmings must be 10 centimetres (four inch- es) or less in diameter.

PICKERING -- Work continued on the Frenchman’s Bay harbour entrance reconstruction project. The $9-million facelift is expected to come in on time and about $300,000 under the projected cost due to contingency funds not being needed. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Pickering Frenchman’s Bay project comes in under budget Lighthouse, parking infrastructure debated as options for extra cash Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering’s mas- sive Frenchman’s Bay harbour entrance project has come in under budget. In a recent memo to coun- cil, City CAO Tony Prevedel says the $9-million facelift is expect- ed to come in on time and about $300,000 under the projected cost. The savings are due to contin- gency funds not being needed. “With a project of that size you have a contingency of about 10 per cent; it’s important to do that if you want to be conservative,” Mr. Pre- vedel explains. “At the end of the day we didn’t spend all of the con- tingency. We didn’t have any issues come up during construction, there were no surprises.” The memo says City staff will be meeting with the Toronto Region Conservation Authority to dis- cuss whether a replica lighthouse and other amenities could now be included as part of the original budget. Many years ago there was a light- house at the foot of Liverpool Road. Mr. Prevedel says there is talk of putting a replica on the east pier.

Last October, the board part- nered with Ecosource and Chart- wells School Dining, a member of Compass Group Canada, in the Cafeteria Connects project, to make secondary school stu- dents aware of the variety of local food options available and the increased Ontario foods offered in high school cafeterias. Since its inception, a commit- tee has been piloting season- al product recipes, curriculum- based workshops and strategies to increase local food procure- ment in select schools. The initia- tives will now go board-wide and a farmers’ market on Sept. 25 kicked off the expansion of the project. It featured local farmers, ven- dors, music and workshops for hospitality students in the board. Carolyn Bailey, acting execu- tive director of Ecosource, said the farmers’ market provides an opportunity to increase the inter- action of board staff and students with local food growers and pro- ducers, and when they see local food identified in their school caf- eterias, there is a better under- standing of the local food system. Ms. Bailey said Ontario has a number of local food producers that can make a change such as this happen. “I think other school boards are going to catch on,” she said. According to signs posted around the farmers’ market, last year, students in board cafeterias ate more than: 465 pounds of red peppers, 165 pounds of mush- rooms, 1,000 carrots and 900 cucumbers. Ed Hodgins, superintendent of education/business, said the proj- ect has helped the board to better understand what food it’s order- ing in the schools, and where that food is coming from. “From our baseline data, we have been able to determine what local produce items can be con- sistently sourced from Ontario throughout the school year,” he said. “We are calling this the Big 6 Purchasing Strategy which means that all apples, cucumbers, mush- rooms, cooking onions, red pep- pers and carrots used in DDSB cafeterias will all be coming from Ontario farms.” Chairman of the board Joe Allin said the Ministry of Education’s School Food and Beverage Policy, which was launched in 2011 and banned the sale of junk food in cafeterias, told school boards what it wanted, but not how to get there. In order to get students on board with the importance of health- ful eating and local food, Mr. Allin said more work needs to be done. “I think we need projects to drive that,” he said. He’s excited about Cafeteria Connects, and said seeing the high school students involved gives him hope for a greater focus on the importance of local food among students. “Student leadership is a key thing,” he said. “If we get students in our secondary schools taking on leadership, we’ll get there.” Grade 12 student Gabrielle Lavictoire is learning that local food has health benefits, and that it helps the local economy. She’s starting to learn about local agri- culture in the culinary program at Sinclair Secondary School. “I think it’s really great because it helps us learn where our food is coming from,” she said.

Meet an advisor today At 670 Kingston Rd. near Whites Rd. 905-420-7929 Durham chosen to host 2016 Canada Deaf Games Organizing committee to start work in November Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Region will host another major athletic competition, as Durham has been selected to hold the 2016 Canada Deaf Games. Durham was selected as the host by the Canadian Deaf Sports Association, and the association noted in a press release, “Durham Region’s bid demonstrated a num- ber of high quality sporting ven- ues, a vibrant community energy, and a cohesive and collaborative spirit within its partners, including the City of Oshawa, The Town of Whitby, Abilities Centre, the Ontar- io Deaf Sports Association, Central Counties Tourism, Durham Tour- ism, and Sport Durham.” The games are the biggest event sporting event for the deaf com- munity “and Canada’s only major multi-sport competition that is exclusively for deaf athletes,” the CDSA noted. Terri-Anne Eagleson, the sport tourism co-ordinator for the Region, said the date for the games still has to be determined, although the event will probably be in mid- July. Durham is also the site for some of the events during the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Games next sum- mer. Hosting the Deaf Games will give Durham the chance to “showcase” its facilities, Ms. Eagleson noted, pointing to such sites as the Abili- ties Centre, Iroquois Park Recre- ation Centre and the Civic Centre in Oshawa, she noted. Between 300 to 350 athletes are expected to compete, she added. “We’re forming a local host com- mittee. We want to look at how to make the experience for the ath- letes positive,” Ms. Eagleson said. She expects the organizing com- mittee will start meeting in Novem- ber. “We’ll look at a lot of partners to make it happen.” No new facilities will be built for the games, she said. “We’ll use what’s there.” Durham was joined in the bid with Oshawa, Whitby, the Abili- ties Centre, the Ontario Deaf Sports Association, Central Counties Tour- ism, Durham Tourism, and Sport Durham. “We’ll also be reaching out to the communities” and institutions, such as Durham College and the local hearing impaired organiza- tions, Ms. Eagleson said. “We want to reach out so we know we thor- oughly understand the community and the athletes have positive expe- rience.” Events to be contested during the games include basketball, vol- leyball, table tennis, bowling, ten- nis, judo, karate, taekwondo, ath- letics, soccer, futsal (indoor soccer with five on each side), swimming, mountain biking, wrestling, golf, badminton and beach volleyball. “Durham has a rich history of hosting major sporting events and is considered to be an ideal location for this exciting event. The Canadi- an Deaf Sports Association is proud to be making this major announce- ment today, and to working togeth- er with the Durham Region to ensure that this is a successful event and an exceptional experience for all participants,” the CDSA noted. Ms. Eagleson said the games could generate up to $1.5 million in economic activity. “In 2012, the games were much smaller and it generated $1 million. We know it will be more, we’re not sure what yet. “It’s a legacy event after the Para- pan Games. It’s a showcase for Durham Region. It will show how accessible Durham Region is,” Ms. Eagleson said. our lEgacy is preserving yo urs. Saying g oodbye is hard enough.

Pickering councillors and residents recently heard good news, namely that the Frenchman’s Bay harbour entrance proj- ect will likely be completed on time and come in roughly $300,000 under budget. A $9-million undertaking, the cost split between Pickering, the Province and the federal government, it will see new con- crete walkways, two new breakwaters and a wider, safer harbour entrance for boat- ers. As we have noted, that the Toronto Region Conservation Authority is using massive white pine timbers originally employed to build the harbour’s break- waters is an excellent touch, a wonderful merging of past and present. The wood will be used in the post-and-rope railing along the pathway on the east spit. Now the question has come to Pickering council -- what to do with the leftover cash? There is talk of creating a replica light- house at the foot of Liverpool Road and of using the money to offset some of the costs of projects in the Frenchman’s Bay master plan. We favour the latter but not the former. While a lighthouse would further pay trib- ute to the harbour’s past, we think it’s a bit grandiose and not the best use for the money. Instead, as we have suggested, the City and TRCA should erect a historical marker of some kind, even a large gaze- bo, ideally using some of the white pine. It would tell visitors of the harbour’s for- mer life as a busy industrial port. Histori- cal photos could be used. It could also highlight the Pickering of today, perhaps in some innovative, inter- active way. Imagine someone docking in Frenchman’s Bay for the first time and what they want to know and do. What is there to see and where is it? Where can I get lunch or dinner? Those are questions they will have. The harbour reconstruction and other planned projects in the area are impor- tant for Pickering’s future, further enhanc- ing this dynamic area. A better harbour entrance will attract more boaters from Toronto and other areas. Regardless of why they come, we want them to like what they see, tell their friends about it and come back. Pickering has only one harbour and the area should be people friendly and educa- tional given its past. Find yourself a Greg ‘Facts’ Fulton Ever know a person you worked with have an impact on you that was profound? When I was living the dream at the Cana- dian Football League, there was an octo- genarian working there who I still think of to this day. Greg ‘Facts’ Fulton was 82 years young when I started at the league office and came in for his regular shift five days a week. He was called Facts because of his pho- tographic memory for all that was the CFL. Ask him about a given player and not only could he recite the stats for said player, but he could also pass along some funny and interesting anectodotes, including some personal ones. Seems there was no one associated with the league that Greg didn’t touch one way or another over his 50-plus years of con- tributing to Canadian football. But we all have a Greg Fulton in our lives. We just don’t take the time to slow down and acknowledge it, or dig a little deeper. I used to go into Greg’s office and ask him what he was thinking. An hour or so later I would come out equipped with far more information than I was prepared to handle. Same thing with my grandfather. When I was much younger I used to pry stories out of Harold about the good old days. He was a man of few words, but when he spoke, the stories were rich with fab- ric and texture. And it gave me a much dif- ferent perspective on things. Greg was the same way. The game has changed. Players are big- ger and faster and all, but the pith of the stories are similar decade to decade. And to take the time to listen (not talk) to some of these bygone tales is an exhilirating experience. These days, especially with football of the NFL ilk, all you seem to hear about are the off-field antics some of these thugs get into. And the league spends most of its time back-pedalling and trying to protect them. Not good. So next time you get the chance, sidle up to one of your “veteran” co-workers or relatives and ask about the good old days. You might be surprised at what you hear. -- Durham resident Shawn Lackie worked in television for more than 20 years until he got his dream job as VP of communications for the Canadian Football League.

Random Acts of Kindness Challenge in Durham schools launched DURHAM -- YWCA Durham is looking for schools to participate in the 5th annual Ran- dom Acts of Kindness Challenge from Oct. 14 to Oct. 17. Each year during International Week With- out Violence, YWCA Durham organizes the initiative in conjunction with schools across Durham Region. A random act of kindness is an unexpected or unprovoked kind act that benefits some- one else. Random acts include holding the door open for someone, drawing a picture to cheer someone up or picking up litter in the school- yard. The challenge promotes and celebrates kindness among students and focuses on the positive effects students can have among their peers and their environment. This year’s motto, ‘Kindness Has Never Been So Easy,’ empowers students to take ownership of the challenge and to make a dif- ference in their school and surrounding com- munity all while realizing just how easy it is to be kind. All elementary and secondary schools across Durham are encouraged to participate in the challenge. From Oct. 14 to Oct. 17, schools can record the number of ‘kindness acts’ and submit the school total on Monday, Oct. 20. Results will be announced on Oct. 24. In 2013, more than 13,500 students from 34 schools across Durham completed 26,500 random acts. To register a school, RSVP by Oct. 13 to Les- ley Ellis by calling 905-576-6356 or sending an e-mail to lesley.e@ywcadurham.org.

Within one minute there were close to 30 women standing and singing along with each other. The Eastside Harmony Chorus is a member of Sweet Adelines Internation- al; the world’s largest singing organi- zation for women, whose purpose is to teach and perform the art of four-part harmony, barbershop style.

At a recent Pickering council meeting, Regional Councillor Jennifer O’Connell argued any extra money should be used to tackle parking and traffic issues in the beach area. “We need to put something in place to limit car access onto the beach,” she said, raising concern about cars driving on envi- ronmentally sensitive wetlands, as well as driving onto the frozen water in the winter, “I’m concerned that we’re looking at spending money on things that would be nice to have instead of taking care of infra- structure first,” Coun. O’Connell noted. Mr. Prevedel said City staff will look at addressing those concerns. Reconstruction of the Frenchman’s Bay harbour entrance started in December 2012 and includes two new breakwaters and a wider harbour entrance to improve safety for boaters and enhance public recreation and tourism. The $9-million price tag is being split three ways between the City and the provincial and federal governments.

No charges have been laid yet, but Dur- ham police continue to monitor the condi- tion of two people burned when the con- tents of a shed behind a house on Gibbons Street blew up. It’s believed hashish was being made in the shed, police said Wednesday. The fire was ignited when “boiling contents” exploded, police said. Oshawa firefighters were called to a house on Gibbons Street near Adelaide Street at about 9:50 p.m. on Sept. 29 and found two people with “very severe burns. “There was a flash fire in the shed,” said Susan King, Oshawa’s chief fire prevention officer. A man, 56, and a 31-year-old woman, both residents of the home, were first taken to hospital in Oshawa, then airlifted to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. Police executed a search warrant at the property Tuesday, seizing drugs and drug paraphernalia. An investigation continues.

Grade 5 Action Pass returns in Durham DURHAM -- New this year, stu- dents will now have access to activities at the Abilities Centre in Whitby as part of the Grade 5 Action Pass. The Durham Region health department is for the 7th year promoting the pass that, thanks to local municipal recreation centres and other local sports facilities, gives Grade 5 students in Durham access to free pub- lic swimming, skating and some drop-in programs throughout their academic year from Sep- tember 2014 to August 2015. The Grade 5 Action Pass may be used at participating municipal recreation centres, Durham Fam- ily YMCA, Abilities Centre and Durham College/UOIT Campus Ice Centre. “Children need 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity, such as swim- ming and skating, each day,” said Beth Cullen Keidann, a public health nurse with Durham Region health department. “Howev- er, results from the 2009 to 2011 Canadian Health Measures Sur- vey found that only seven per cent of Canadian children are meeting this daily requirement. The Grade 5 Action Pass program supports Grade 5 students to be active and enjoy free, fun physical activities every day.” Students can obtain the pass by visiting local municipal rec- reation centres or the Durham Family YMCA. Proof of address and date of birth must be pro- vided. Students registering in Uxbridge and Scugog must also bring a current one-inch by one- and-a-half-inch photo to obtain their pass. Students in Brock will receive their Grade 5 Action Pass at school. Passes for the Abilities Centre should also be obtained at local recreation centres or the Durham Family YMCA; passes cannot be picked up at the Abilities Centre. For more information, call Dur- ham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729, or visit durham.ca/physicalactiv- ity http://durham.ca/physicalac- tivity.

This year, in addition to your academic courses, try to master some financial lessons, as well. Specifically, consider these suggestions: First, don’t overuse credit cards. While it might not be a bad idea to have a single credit card for use in emergencies, it’s very easy to over-use the “plastic” and rack up big debts. Next,shop around for the financial institution that can provide you with the best deals on chequing and savings accounts and on loans. Also, never stop looking for financial aid. Universities offer some scholarships based on post-secondary academic achievement or real-world experience — both of which you may have accumulated since you left high school. Finally, try to be a saver, rather than a spender.That’s a lesson that can last a lifetime. Insurance and annuities are offered by Edward Jones InsuranceAgency (except in Quebec).

Bryan yetman Many insurers will discount your auto premium if your child is away at school, as long as they don’t have regular access to your vehicle. It doesn’t mean they can’t drive the car when home; the reduced rate simply reflects the reduced risk. There are also property insurance considerations you ought to be aware of as students will need to take a number of personal belongings to school with them. Most carriers will extend coverage from a parent’s policy for these items negating the need for purchasing separate coverage.

And at age 85, Hall doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. In fact, his latest mystery is his eighth book in the last five years. It’s no surprise when he says his 23rd, tentatively titled Murder Can Kill, is well underway. “It’s better than sitting around watching soaps on TV,” he says. “I’ve always been a writer.” He was in Grade 10 when his first article was published and Hall’s first book, The Brittle Thread, came out in 1968. Some of his works have been translated into Rus- sian and German and you can find them in libraries across the country. Before he retired as senior press officer for IBM Canada, Hall hosted several pub- lic affairs shows on TV, including Fiction or Fact on CHEX-TV, and he has written for dailies in Canada and the U.S. In the 70s, he wrote scripts for the science fiction TV series, The Starlost. Hall says on a typical day he’ll wake up, have breakfast, read a paper or two and will be in his study by 10 a.m., writing until noon. After lunch, he’ll go back into his study for another two-and-a-half hours of writing. He generally writes 1,000 to 2,000 “first-draft” words a day. He remembers when his old friend, Charles Templeton, who with Hall was a panelist on CHCH-TV’s What is Truth, called Hall to tell him he had Alzheimer’s disease. “‘I’m going to beat that son-of-a-bitch’,” he recalls Templeton saying. “You know what I’m doing? I’m keeping my brain active. I’m memorizing the phone book. “I just want to stay as mentally active as I can,” Hall says. While Hall has written biographies and children’s books, it’s been all mysteries in recent years. He says he and his wife, Joyce, watch and enjoy a lot of mysteries on TV. “It’s a game; who did it?” he says. He says a good mystery requires “charac- ters that you can identify with and it needs a plausible plot.” He likes to play with the reader, set things up so it seems a certain character is the killer when in fact he is not. “It’s no fun reading if you’re not sur- prised,” he says. Hall enlists his daughter and son-in-law, both former cops, to read an interroga- tion scene, for example, and tell him if it rings true. His doctor offered his services and his family lawyer looks over legal mat- ters. And Hall says his wife is an invaluable help. “Everything I write, when I do a chapter or a scene, I’ll run it by her,” he says. “She has a wicked eye for syntax and what have you ... She pushes me, which is good.” In Murder in the Boardroom, two detec- tives have to figure out how Jessica Cart- wright, sole heir to the J.R. Cartwright estate, died. The Halls live at The Millennium con- dominiums and the setting and its resi- dents have provided fodder for some of his books, such as The Chiliad Murder(s) and his latest. Some of his neighbours can’t help but wonder if they’ve found their way into one of his books. The answer is yes, no and maybe. “You exaggerate the characters,” Hall says. He was once advised to do so in his writ- ing: ‘if they have big ears make them big- g e r ’. “It’s pure fiction, no question about that,” he says. In addition to local libraries, Hall’s books are available online from Amazon, Google, Yahoo and Barns and Noble.

They managed a split, but probably deserved a better fate, in Provincial Wom- en’s Hockey League regular-season play. On Friday against Leaside, the Light- ning were on the wrong side of a 1-0 score despite outshooting the home side 45-17 according to pointstreak.com. The lone goal of the game came with just 2:15 remaining in the third period, the only shot to beat netminder Tera Hofmann. The Lightning did everything they could to score, outshooting Leaside 16-4 in the second period and 21-9 in the third, but couldn’t beat Leaside’s Hailey Farrelly. A shutout was also part of the final result in Sunday’s game in Barrie, as Rebecca Clark stopped all 17 shots for the Lightning in a 5-0 victory. Goals came early and often in this one for the Lightning, who built a 4-0 lead after the first period and added another in the third. Maria Dominico, Emily Jukosky, Natalie Wozney, Charlea Pedersen and Alyssa Gee were the goal scorers for the Lightning. The goals by Jukosky and Gee came courtesy of the power play, as the Lightning scored twice on five chances. Through five games, the Lightning sit alone in third with a 3-1-1-0 record, having scored 10 times while allowing just three goals against. This weekend will be a busy one for the Lightning, who will play three times with visits to London, Southwest and Blue- water as they make the trek to southwest- ern Ontario beginning Friday and ending Sunday. Those games will end a stretch of six in a row on the road. TALY -- Members of the Pickering Dragon Boat Club turned in outstanding results at the World Championships in Italy, winning 18 medals all told, including nine gold. Submitted photo Pickering on top of the dragon boat racing world Club earns 18 medals at world championships RAVENNA, ITALY -- The Pickering Drag- on Boat Club is on top of the world, lit- erally. Pickering was extraordinarily well represented at the 9th club crew world championships in Ravenna, Italy recent- ly. The local dragon boat club garnered nine gold medals, four silver medals and five bronze medals to rank among the most successful clubs in this global event in which 6000 athletes from approxi- mately 30 countries and more than 200 clubs participated. In September, 91 local athletes and coaches competed at the Internation- al Dragon Boat Federations world club championships. According to PDBC head coach Scott Murray, the event was a major success. “It truly was the greatest week in our club’s history,” said the 35-year-old club leader. “Our theme of the week was to be greedy for success. Not for yourself but to honour and maximize the jour- ney the person to your right and your left has gone through. I thought the athletes did a phenomenal job of working hard for each other, the results certainly were incredible.” PDBC was entered into 24 separate races, finished with 18 medals, top-five finishes in every single category entered and a new team record for every single crew that competed. In all the athletes certainly peaked at the right time. “I have been training so hard for this week,” said Michele Waters, who led the club with eight gold medals. “I put so much of my heart into this because I just did not want to let my coaches, my team- mates or my training partners down.” PDBC competed in the senior A (40+), senior B (50+) and senior C (60+) age cat- egories and can claim at least one world championship victory in each category, including three golds in senior A, five golds in senior B and one gold in senior C. Some other accomplishments the club is extremely proud of is the fact that all 87 athletes who competed have returned to Canada with at least one medal. All eight of the crews that competed for Pickering earned at least one medal. The athletes praised the coaching staff for ensuring they were well prepared. “Scott, Alex, Kat and Muff are an amaz- ing team and present a confident and consistent lead for us to follow,” said senior B athlete Nancy Killey, who earned five gold and one silver medal. “At our club paddling is fun and part of a happy, healthy and socially active life- style. Coming to practice is hard work and genuinely fun at the same time.” The club now turns its focus to off- season training where it will paddle and workout indoors at one of Canada’s only indoor dragon boat training cen- tres called P3 Paddle Zone located at the corner of Brock Road and Plummer Ave. Athletes train here October through April before heading back onto the water in May. The next club crew world champion- ships will be held in Adelaide, Australia in 2016 and PDBC is already preparing to represent the City of Pickering. PDBC operates out of the Frenchman’s Bay Marina at the south end of Liver- pool Road and uses Frenchman’s Bay as its training basin. The club accepts new members of all ages and experience lev- els throughout the year and operates a competitive and recreational stream. The highlight of the competitive stream is competing at national and internation- al championships. ‘‘I thought the athletes did a phenomenal job of working hard for each other, the results certainly were incredible.’ Scott Murray WHITBY -- Durham West’s Alexandra Maw and Claire Balas and Whitby Wolves’ Caitlyn Quartarone were positioned in front of the net in Provincial Women’s Hockey League action at Iroquois Park Sports Centre.

Survived by his loving devoted wife of 59 years Ronni Jones, who will miss Bud’s never failing friendship, cemented even stronger in the midst of his illness. Loving father and best friend to his son Kevin Jay Jones, who was blessed with the gift of music from his father. Predeceased by his sister Dorothy and lovingly missed by his sister Thelma, brother-in-law Ken and their sons Owen and Wesley. The kitten is wondering where you are dad, hopefully you’ve already met up with Katt. Playing sports and family card games ﬁ lled Bud’s early years, and his talent of building anything he could imagine, has left our family so many memories to enjoy. Bud was an example of courage in his long battle with rheumatoid arthritis, recently alzheimer’s and ﬁ nally cancer, as he never stopped making others smile and laugh to his ﬁ nal day. Cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Life will be held at The MCEACHNIE FAMILY CENTRE at a soon to be announced date. Memorial donations to the Arthritis Society, Alzheimer’s or Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated by the family.

SELL IT NOW CALL AJAX 905-683-0707 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 During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer- term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.
