The Regional Municipality of Durham, in partnership with Global Electric Electronic Pro- cessing, invites residents to drop off their end-of-life or unwant- ed electronics (e-waste) for free recycling. Items collected will be sent to an approved processor and valu- able commodities such as steel, aluminium, copper, glass and plastic will be melted or pro- cessed as raw materials for future production. This free collection service properly recycles electronics while keeping toxic materials out of landfill. The collection will take place on Saturday, Oct. 18 from 8 a.m. to noon, rain or shine at Municipal Boat Launch, 2 Old Rail Ln., Port Perry and at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd., Pickering.

Durham hospital staff helps Saudi Arabia battle MERS-CoV infection Infection control professionals from Lakeridge currently working in Saudi Arabia Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Lakeridge Health staff is in Saudi Arabia in hopes of helping health care workers battle a deadly virus that has infected more than 700 people since 2012. Terry Murduff and Judy McCarten are both nurses and infection control profes- sionals at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. The two women left Canada on Sept. 18 to spend two and half weeks in Saudi Ara- bia to work with health-care profession- als on infection control protocols. Of particular concern in that country is Middle East respiratory syndrome coro- navirus (MERS-CoV), a disease that has killed 318 people in that country since June 2012. “It’s a respiratory virus they’ve actually been trying to get under control for the last couple of years,” said Ms. Murduff. The Lakeridge staff is visiting the coun- try as part of a team sent through Accred- itation Canada International and work- ing with the Saudi accreditation board on educating health-care workers as well as auditing and improving their proce- dures. “We’re actually going to be doing a lot of the teaching and the observation of prac- tice then we’re responsible for reporting back to the accreditation board with our recommendations,” said Ms. Murduff. When it comes to infection control, Ms. Murduff said it means everyone in the hospital taking precautions, from doc- tors to nurses to housekeeping. “It’s really about routine practice, rec- ognizing the risk of any patient they might be dealing with at any time,” she said. While visiting Saudi Arabia, the women will wear the abaya, a long loose black robe over their clothing, and they will be covering their hair. In the hospital it will be slightly different and they’ll be able to wear lab coats. Ms. Murduff said the impact of typical Saudi clothing may be one of the issues tackled through their observations. “Can you effectively do hand hygiene with your wrists covered, that will be the kind of thing we’ll be looking at,” she said. Ms. Murduff said she has been passion- ate about infection control for about 10 years and she’s hoping some of the les- sons learned in Canada will help the Sau- dis battle MERS-CoV. “SARS was the biggest thing that hap- pened to Ontario; we learned a lot from SARS,” she said. Page 6 - Today’s editorial OSHAWA — Lakeridge Health infection prevention and control professionals Judy McCarten and Teri Murduff left for Saudi Arabia on September 17. The women will be teaching and observing Saudi health-care professionals and sharing Canadian best practices in order to help the Saudis improve their response to MERS-CoV, a respira- tory illness that has caused 300 deaths in Saudi Arabia since 2012.

A 24-year-old man, his sister and mother were busted after Durham Drug Enforce- ment Unit officers executed a search warrant at an Alpine Lane home and seized almost three kilograms of marijuana and 260 grams of hash oil, which had a combined street value of more than $30,000. Police also shut down a sophisticated can- nabis-resin production lab. The man was arrested when he left the house, while his mother was arrested inside the dwelling. The sister was arrested when she returned home. Also seized was a commercial butane extraction oven with 160 grams of hash oil cooking inside, 78 cans of butane and other materials used for cooking and packaging. A tank of nitrogen was seized, which required an outside agency to remove it for safety rea- sons. “Home-based illegal production facilities are a major concern for responding emer- gency workers and neighbourhoods, “ said Sergeant Bill Calder. “The chemicals involved can be extremely volatile and there are addi- tional costs associated with safely remov- ing dangerous chemicals, such as nitrogen tanks.” Daniel Bell of Alpine Lane has been charged with producing cannabis oil and two counts of possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking. He was held for a bail hearing. Carmella Bell, 52, and Cassandra Bell, 21, both of Alpine Lane, were each charged with producing cannabis oil and two counts of possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking. They were released on an under- taking with conditions. Police are also in the process of issuing a warrant for a fourth suspect. Anyone with more information is asked to call Det. Const. Chambers of Drug Enforce- ment Unit at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 5831. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or on the website at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 8 , 2 0 1 4 4 P Your City - Now it’s Your Choice • Stop Excessive Property Tax Increases • A Plan for Local/Regional jobs • Apprenticeships for Youth • Stop Urban Sprawl and Protect food lands • Solutions for Public Transit Linkages • Support for Seniors It’s Time for a Dynamic New Mayor who will Make a Difference Durham District School BoardTrustee for Pickering Paul has been a Trustee for a total of 13 years.

VOTE ON MONDAY,OCTOBER 27,2014 Re-El ect PaulCRAWFORD “It’s not a request we get every day, but we a saw need in the community,” says David Brazeau, the hospital’s director of public affairs, community relations and telecommunications. “Not too many hospitals are doing this.” The program requires a lot of band- width to ensure the live connection is not interrupted. However, Mr. Brazeau said there is minimal cost to the hospital -- and the service is provided free to patients. Rouge Valley Health System already offers a phone interpretation service, which provides patients with access to interpretation of more than 200 languag- es. Chinese languages and Tamil are the most commonly requested. “It’s important for patients to under- stand exactly what is being said to them about their diagnosis or treatment,” Mr. Brazeau notes. “In many cases people have a family member who can interpret for them, but not everyone does.” The sign language pilot program is among several new initiatives high- lighted in Rouge Valley’s 2014 annual report. Other accomplishments this year include the launch of Living Well chronic disease education clinics, new pediatric allergy and constipation clin- ics, a shoulder prehabilitation program and the new “CATCH” (care after the care in hospital) program, which sup- ports patients after discharge from hos- pital. This year also saw the local hospital introduce new cardiovascular rehabilita- tion community-based sites throughout Durham and implementation of a new “Bed Map” that brings care to patients rather than moving them to another bed when their needs change.

Peter Rodrigues’s van, editorial, Pickering News Advertiser, Sept. 25 May I add my two cents worth? I moved to Pickering six years ago but used to live in Scarborough where a certain clever, ambi- tious, real-estate salesperson drove a van wrapped with his name and picture and various other symbols of his profession. It worked so well that I can still clearly remember his name which I don’t find sur- prising because other neighbours at the time even joked about how well his name was recognized in the area. Peter Rodrigues has been equally clev- er in gaining recognition as a politician but does the new proposed regulation in Pickering really mean that during most of his driving he can use his van but must stop using it during election time? If so then anyone running for office with a vehicle that has pictures of his/herself and signs etc. from his/her present profes- sion would be forbidden to use that vehicle whilst campaigning. The city has opened up a Pandora’s box of silliness. David R. Filbey-Haywood, Pickering College offers education value Fall is one of my favourite times of the year, as Durham College is full of energy and enthusiasm. Each year, we welcome thousands of students to their This is also the time when tens of thousands of men and women across Ontario are beginning to think about where they will study next year. They are considering colleges and universities, comparing programs and services and beginning to visit campuses. One of the factors that is often overlooked in that decision process, however, is the great return for students and parents on the investment in a college education. Too often colleges are grouped with universities as being priced out of reach. That couldn’t be further from the truth. The tuition for a typical college program in Ontario is about $2,600, compared with about $6,000 for a typical undergraduate university program. Ontaro colleges received about $8,000 per student (from pro- vincial grants and tuition fees) in 2012-2013, lower than any other province and less than half the highest funded province. Multiply that over two or three years and the difference is significant. Despite having access to fewer financial resources, colleges over-deliver. They prepare students to build, run and lead our communi- ties. Here in Durham you will find our graduates repre- sented in every aspect of industry and business, and a third-party study found our college has an annual eco- nomic impact on the region in excess of $816.3 million. Why is this? Because colleges offer a comprehen- sive roster of high-quality academic programs that meet the needs of all employers. That’s why in excess of 83 per cent of our students are employed each year within six months of graduation. Colleges also meet the needs of all learners, including those with disabilities, first-generation students and others returning to train for a second career. Finally colleges offer pathways to further post-secondary study. A college education provides graduates with the tools and resources needed to find professional and personal success. And, when you get away from the rhetoric and misinformation, it is clear a college educa- tion is the best value for post-secondary investment in the country, both for students and the government. -- Don Lovisa is president of Durham College, which is home to almost 30,000 students in post-secondary, studies. Don Lovisa Guest column Education Durham health expertise helps Saudi Arabia With Ebola virus raging and a number of Ontario children falling ill with the EV_D68 virus, hospitals with expertise in the realm of infection control are in big demand. And, it’s good to know that right here in our own backyard, Lakeridge Health -- with hospitals in Oshawa, Bowmanville and Port Perry -- has staff who have specialized knowledge to offer, not only to Durham resi- dents, but to those abroad who have sought out help. Two nurses at Lakeridge -- Terry Mur- duff and Judy McCarten, who are particu- larly well-versed in infection control -- are in Saudi Arabia working with health profes- sionals there in order to establish infection control protocols. Saudia Arabia has been hard hit with a particularly nasty virus -- Middle East respi- ratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), a disease that has killed 318 people in that country since June 2012. Saudi officials have been working to slow down the effects of the MERS virus for the past two years. The Sau- dis have called upon Accreditation Canada International, which, in turn, sent the Lak- eridge Health nurses there to work with the Saudi accreditation board to improve infec- tion control procedures. “We’re actually going to be doing a lot of the teaching and the observation of practice then we’re responsible for reporting back to the accreditation board with our recom- mendations,” said Ms. Murduff prior to the two nurses leaving Sept. 18. The key, says Ms. Murduff, is that every- one within the hospital -- from doctors, nurses and housekeeping staff -- must take precautions and practise infection control. Hospitals in Canada definitely have a heightened sense of infection control and how it is vital in helping keep viruses from spreading. One need look no further than the SARS virus that enveloped the GTA dur- ing 2003 as the ultimate learning experience of those involved in the health-care field and how to effectively contain outbreaks. “SARS was the biggest thing that hap- pened to Ontario; we learned a lot from SARS,” she said. Although the Lakeridge Health nurses are on the leading edge of infection control, we can all do our little bit to contain viruses and their spread. It begins with washing your hands and using hand sanitizers. Both these practices should be a regular part of every- one’s personal infection control. We commend Lakeridge Health and, of course, the two nurses for providing leader- ship in infection control practices, both here and abroad. There’s a measure of comfort in knowing that here in Durham there are hos- pitals and staff that have the knowledge and expertise to help mitigate the effects of life- threatening viruses. So I was, like, ewwww gross The other day I was, like, sitting in a café and like, enjoying an espresso? When these two girls came in and like, sat down beside me and like, started talking? I like, couldn’t help but like, overhear their con- versation ‘cause I was, like, totally right next to them and they were like, talking really loudly and everything? And like, no matter what the content or context of their conversation was, and like, even if their sentence wasn’t even like an interrogative, their voices always like, went up like they were like, asking a question and stuff? At first I was like, fascinated by this, but then, like after a few minutes I was like totally horrified. It might have been OK if these two were like teenagers and stuff, but they were like totally women and every- thing. Like, in their late 20s. And they, like, had jobs. I know this ‘cause they were, like, talking about them and stuff? You have to understand that, like, for a person who loves the English language and, like, words and stuff, this was like someone pouring, like, hemlock in my ears. A slow death by, like, prepositional overdose. If this conversation were like, on Facebook, I would not like it ... like at all. Totally. In fact, as I sat there, like, listening and everything, I very shortly wanted to, like, wring their necks and stuff? And I had to, like, wonder, how the hell people like this ever got past, like, a job interview? Of course being 54 and, like, totally ancient and everything, it’s been a while since I had a job interview. Like maybe they’ve totally changed the process? Interviewer: Hi, can you like, tell me a lit- tle about yourself? Applicant: Oh, totally, for sure. I’m, like, so stoked to be here. Interviewer: Wow. Awesome. Do you like books and stuff? Applicant: Books? Ewwwwww. Interviewer: Like, me too. Totally. Litera- ture? Double gross. Applicant: You are so cool. Interviewer: You too. Now back to busi- ness. Before I, like, hire you and stuff, we have to, like, cross our i’s and dot our t’s and everything ... so, seriously ... what is your favourite vampire TV show? I don’t know. Like, maybe that’s what goes on? I totally hope not. Still, it’s like, sad as hell to, like, listen to. When I was a kid, my siblings and I all, like, went through a phase where we, like, used the word like, completely and inap- propriately to death. Most kids do. I was, like, lucky enough however to have a father who, like, totally loved the English lan- guage too and so he would, like, totally call us on it when we, like, talked like this. He, like, made it clear to us that words have beauty, power and, like, specific use and stuff and that people would judge you by, like, how you spoke and everything. At the time I remember thinking he was, like, some kind of word Nazi or something and just, like, wishing he would totally chill and stuff? But upon reflection I am forever indebt- ed to my father for his vigilance, intelli- gence and love. Words have power, words have magic and words are sometimes all I have to connect me with another human and the rest of the world. They are also very much like friends in that the more careful- ly I choose them, the greater the pleasure they bring me. Like, how cool is that? -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 10 Worst movies of 2013 Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Let’s Talk Weigh in on topics of the day www.facebook.com/newsdurham Poll ON THE PHONE: The topic of marijuana was on a slow burn last week as our Facebooke friends weighed in with their views on potential legaliza- tion of the drug in Canada.

Legalize it already. Make money from the taxes, put it towards lowering the ridiculously increasing tuition fees and maybe you won’t have as many people with part-time jobs selling pot on the side to make ends meet because they can work toward a better career. The idea has some merit. 13% Silliest idea ever!64% You mean doctors and nurses?23% BEHIND THE LENS AJAX -- George Heron, a Second World War veteran who served in Europe, showed some of his war memorabilia for a story we worked on. I had already finished taking the pic- tures I needed of George and was packing up my gear when he brought down this medal display. I thought the black back- ground would make a good surface on which to reflect his image. RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND O Cannabis? Kaytee Jade: Honestly ... it’s much smarter to legalize it and to keep innocent people out of prison all because they smoke one here or there.... it’s more of a waste on taxpayers’ money to throw someone in jail for a couple grams than it is to reserve those cells for crack dealers and heavy criminals that we NEED off the street. Travis Smoke: I’ll pay tax on it. Rob MacArthur: If the government is looking for new ways for tax rev- enue.. this is it! Sylvia Matthews: Legalize it already. Lindy Beaupre: I see nothing but positive things happening in Colo- rado. Should we ban pills kids are stealing from their parents? Alco- hol? Cigarettes? It’s called educating your child.

Garcia: It pretty much is legal in Durham... just take a sniff around at night time, sometimes day- time or anytime. Tudi Nuttley: Legalizing marijuana will not diminish the illegal trade unless the legal pot (including taxes) is cheaper than the illegal pot. The tax issue could be remedied simply by ensuring companies report honestly who is working for the company. Oh, and maybe legal pot won’t stink so bad ~ I hate that smell!!!! 1. Grown Ups 2 2.

As she arrived in Oshawa from Janet- ville on Sunday morning for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure -- one of many events held in com- munities across Canada on Oct. 5 -- she couldn’t help being overcome by emotion. “I think of my mom,” she said, wiping away tears as she joined hundreds of peo- ple decked out in pink at Lakeview Park. “I think about all the families that are still dealing with this.” Since 1992, the annual CIBC Run for the Cure has been the largest, single-day, volunteer-led fundraising event working toward a future without breast cancer. This year was Durham’s 15th annual Run for the Cure with funds going to breast cancer research, health education and advocacy programs. “It’s very encouraging and heartwarm- ing to see the support here,” said Mike Baranowsky of London who attended the event with his wife, Catherine. Their daughter, Julia, recently went through chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. “It’s unbelievable to see the amount of people that have been impacted by this ... it’s one of those things that we have to erad- icate,” said Mr. Baranowsky. “And it’s nice to see men in pink shirts,” Catherine added with a laugh. Susan Frame of Oshawa proudly waved a sign with the words ‘Lynne’s Twins’ to show her support for her friend Laura’s mother whose cancer is currently in remission. “You have to support the people around you, especially when they’re going through something like this in their lives,” she said. Sisters Michelle and Alexis Ellis of Whitby both wept as they listened to speakers dur- ing the event’s opening ceremonies. “We lost our aunt Mary-Lou to cancer so we wanted to show our support for any- one who has gone through this or is going through it right now,” said Michelle. Not everyone who made it out to the event has been personally touched by can- cer. Courtice resident Deanna Decicco said she began participating in the Run for the Cure eight years ago just to show her sup- port for the cause and hasn’t stopped since. This year, she rallied her colleagues from work to form a team and they managed to raise $3,200. “We have to beat cancer,” she said. “There are far too many beautiful people that we’re losing to it and it’s not fair.” Kelly Nicholson of Oshawa decided to volunteer at the event with her daughter, Lindsay, to help spread the word about the importance of proper cancer care. “I work at the hospital so I see the impact that it has on patients,” she said. For Ms. Kehoe, whose mother battled cancer for 10 years up to her death in 1998, it’s the awareness component of the event that means the most to her. “In a funny way I think the colour pink is fantastic because it’s bright, it’s cheery, it’s so feminine and when you see it, you know,” she said. “You can’t look at pink and not think of breast cancer.” For more information, visit www.cibcrun- forthecure.com.

Increase mortgage payments. This can significantly reduce interest costs as well as help you pay down a mortgage faster. 2. Choose weekly or bi-weekly rapid payment options. Like increased payments, more frequent payments also reduce interest costs and help pay off a mortgage faster. 3. Make lump sum payments. Consider putting any extra cash, such as a tax refund, towards a mortgage. Just keep in mind what your prepayment privilege amounts are. 4. Explore flexible options. If caught between wanting to pay off a mortgage as quickly as possible and worrying about cash flow, take advantage of options which allow you to pay more when possible and ease off in months when other expenses prevent large payments. 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 • Oct o b e r 8 , 2 0 1 4 14 AP a division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

OPP trying to determine why Ajax man was crossing Hwy. 401 Thomas Pederson, 25, struck, killed near Brock Street in Whitby WHITBY -- Police continue to investigate the death of an Ajax man who was killed as he tried to cross Hwy. 401 in Whitby on foot Saturday night. Investigators are still trying to determine why 25-year-old Thomas Pedersen was on the freeway. “I haven’t been given any more updates as to where he was going or what he was doing,” OPP Sergeant Kerry Schmidt said Monday. Mr. Pedersen was struck by a pickup in the eastbound lanes near Brock Street as he tried to cross from the north side of 401 to the south side at about 10 p.m., police said. There is a bridge nearby where pedestrians can cross the freeway, police noted. Two lanes of the highway were blocked for about three hours for the investigation, with all lanes open by 1 a.m., police said. Durham College sees enrolment growth DURHAM -- Durham College is one of just three colleges in Ontario to experience an enrolment increase in the 2014-2015 aca- demic year. The college has welcomed more than 11,100 full-time post-secondary and appren- ticeship students to its Oshawa and Whitby campuses and Pickering Learning Site for 2014-2015. The number marks an overall enrolment increase of more than 2.5 per cent over fall 2013, including more than 5,600 new students, and a new college high of 459 international students from more than 32 countries. “As we reach the end of the first month of the academic year it’s evident from our enrol- ment numbers that more students than ever before, including those from abroad, have discovered that at Durham College, the stu- dent experience truly does come first,” said Judy Robinson, vice-president of academic. She attributes the growth to a number of factors, including: the college’s commit- ment to fostering student success through high-quality academic programs designed to meet the needs of today’s employers; the introduction of new programs; academic pathways; and a commitment to giving stu- dents opportunities to gain real-world work experience.

The college has a campus in Pickering. OSHAWA -- The Durham College men’s golf team erased a 10-stroke deficit in the final round of the Ontario Colleges Athletic Associa- tion championship to earn a bronze medal. This marks Durham’s first medal at the OCAA championship in Division I since the 2011 season, where it also finished in third place. The Lords shot a team-total of plus-1 289 to finish with a three-day total 911, ending up in a tie for third place with the Seneca Sting. Trailing Fanshawe by 10 strokes heading in Wednesday’s round, Durham ended up beat- ing the Falcons by nine strokes. The team total of 289 was the best round of the championship by any team. Brent Clements of Pickering tied for the lowest round of any golfer as he shot a 1-under 71. Clements had a three-day total of 7-over to finish in sixth place overall in the individual competition. After not draining a single birdie in round one, Clements elevated his game, combining for eleven over the next two days. Ben Reid of Ajax and Bill Irvine (Lindsay) also played a big role in the Lords’ final round success as they each shot even-par 72s while Matthew Perras (Ome- mee) had a 2-over 74. Craig Conroy (Bowmanville) finished in 16th place overall as he shot a 4-over 76 on Wednesday to land a spot in the top 20. The men’s team championship was awarded to Humber for an OCAA- record ninth straight year. It marks the first time an OCAA varsity program in any sport has won that many consecutive provin- cial titles. The 54-hole tournament took place at Wildfire Golf Club in Lakefield. Golfers repre- sented 17 Ontario college campuses, includ- ing Centennial, Confederation, Durham, Fan- shawe, Fleming, Georgian, Humber, Lakehead (Orillia), Lambton, Mohawk, Niagara, St. Clair, St. Lawrence (Brockville, Cornwall and Kings- ton), Sault and Seneca. The Lords will now turn their attention to the CCAA national championship scheduled to take place from Oct. 15-17 at Club de Golf Lor- ette in Quebec. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 8 , 2 0 1 4 16 P Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Pickering Panthers fall from grace Drop home games to Aurora, Oakville Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The adage that you are never as good as you think you are certainly rang true for the Pickering Panthers. Just days after being designated as the 18th best Tier II junior hockey team in the country, the Panthers went out and proved rankings can be deceiving at this juncture of the season. In a pair of home games at the Pickering Recreation Complex, they came up empty over the weekend, falling 4-3 to Aurora on Saturday and 6-2 to Oakville on Sunday in Ontario Junior Hockey League play. “Definitely I think that had a little bit of an effect on guys,” said GM/head coach Mike Galati of spending the week on social media reading press clippings. “I think we were walking around here with our heads a little bigger than they should be all week. “Maybe this is a good thing. If we take this and get better and learn, then it’s a good thing. If not, then it’s not so good.” Leading into the weekend, the Panthers were full value for any praise that came their way, compiling a 6-1-0-1 record and a first- place standing in the North Division. As an example of how quickly things change, after a pair of losses, the Panthers have slipped into a tie for first with Newmarket, and Lind- say is just two points back. Against Aurora, the Panthers were down 2-0 and 3-1 in the first period, but man- aged to count a pair early in the third, just 21 seconds apart, to tie it 3-3. Though Gala- ti felt his team did enough to win, a couple of bounces didn’t go their way and Aurora counted the winner near the midway mark of the third. Joseph Mitchell, Chris Sekelyk and Mark Tenuta were the goal scorers for the Pan- thers, who were short-handed 10 times on the night. “(Aurora) were two for 10 on the power play. We aren’t going to win too many games taking 10 penalties,” offered Galati. The same pattern was repeated the follow- ing night against Oakville, with the Panthers down 2-0 in the first and 4-0 at one point in the second before Sekelyk scored on the power play with just nine seconds left. In the third, the Panthers went down 6-1, Mat- teo Condotta closing out the scoring on the power play late in the third. “(Sunday) we were just bad from the goal- ie out. All 20 guys. That happens. It’s just unfortunate we had two losses,” said Galati in summing up the weekend. It came early, but the turning point of the game occurred in the first period with the Panthers down 2-0, but on a five-on-three power play for an extended time. Despite all sorts of pressure and chances, they failed to get on the board. In the second period, Brandon Salerno scored a short-handed goal, but it was waived off on account of goaltender interference on Oakville net- minder Brendan McGlynn. “Guys have to bear down,” said Galati of the missed opportunity on the power play. As for the disallowed goal: “We watched it on video and it’s probably a good goal. “Again, we weren’t good enough. I’m not blaming anyone or making excuses, but we have to be better.” The Panthers will be back at it this week- end with a pair of divisional games, host- ing Newmarket on Friday at 7:30 p.m., then travelling to Stouffville on Saturday.

DINING OUT ADVERTISING FEATURE In Ajax & Pickering Dining out at a restaurant is a treat for many people, while for others it’s a way of life. On-the-go professionals often find that dining out is simply more convenient than cooking at home. However, large portion sizes and dishes that tend to contain a lot of sodium and fat can make dining out less healthy than eating at home, which is a concern for those men and women who want to shed a few pounds. * Order foods that are broiled, boiled or roasted. When ordering your meal, ask that oils be used sparingly if not removed completely. When foods look somewhat greasy, dab them with a napkin in the same manner you might dab the grease from a slice of pizza. * Skip the dips and dressings. Many condiments can add unwanted calories to a meal, making even a healthy entree a calorie-laden meal that’s best avoided. Don’t be afraid to ask for substitutions or simply ask to have dressings put on the side so if you must indulge you can do so without going overboard. * Eat in the hours leading up to your dinner. Low-fat snacks eaten throughout the day will reduce the likelihood that you will overeat at the dinner table. Drink a tall glass of water and enjoy some low-calorie fruit so you won’t be famished once you arrive at the restaurant. * Avoid buffet-style restaurants. Many people cannot help but overeat at buffet- style restaurants, where the size of a typical spread can make it hard for dieters to stay disciplined. If you must eat at a buffet-style restaurant, choose healthy fare like salad and steamed vegetables. * Look for a low-calorie menu. Many restaurants now supplement their existing menus with a menu of low-calorie fare for those customers who want to eat out but want to do so without abandoning their diets. The food will likely be just as delicious, though not as dense or as large. Dining out is still possible even if you’re on a diet du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Oc t o b e r 8 , 2 0 1 4 18 AP Job SuccessStarts Here!
