LOCAL REACTIONNA
No ‘specific’ terror
threats in Durham
Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- This week’s attacks
on military personnel in Ottawa and
Montreal reinforce the need for co-
operation and vigilance among law
enforcement and security officials,
says Durham Police Chief Paul Mar-
tin. “We were warned this type of
thing was possible with the chang-
ing tactics of ISIL,” the chief said
Wednesday afternoon. “We’ve been
preparing for that, and have been
for some time. We are monitoring all
channels available.
“We’re not aware of any specific
threats here in Durham Region.”
He said his reaction to recent
events -- a soldier standing vigil at
the National War Memorial in Ottawa
was shot dead Wednesday, two days
after two military personnel were
deliberately run down near Montreal,
leaving Warrant Officer Patrice Vin-
cent dead -- are “sadness and disap-
pointment”.
Wednesday, Durham police
were in communication with local
organizations such as the Ontario
Regiment, which locked down its
armoury, and Ontario Power Gen-
eration, which has also implement-
ed security measures.

AJAX -- A local teacher is inform-
ing her students about local food
from the ground up with the help
of a Pickering farmer.
Alison Ellwood, a teacher at
Vimy Ridge Public School in Ajax,
is part of a program at the school
called Earth Keepers, which
allows students in grades 2 to 8
to participate in various environ-
mental activities from tree plant-
ing to salmon restoration proj-
ects.
“The reason I’m involved in it is
if we want kids looking after our
planet, they need to grow to love
the planet,” says the teacher.
Beginning in June, 19 of the stu-
dents and two teachers took part
in the Potato Project at a national
historic farm in Claremont, This-
tle Ha’, with the help of local farm-
ers Jim Miller and Ronnie Tap-
scott.
Mr. Miller of Thistle Ha’ wrote
on his blog that while he finds
students from some rural Ontario
schools visit a farm or an agricul-
tural fair for a day, he is not aware
of pupils having the same expe-
rience as a farmer or gardener
where they prepare the soil, plant
the seeds and then watch the
crop grow until they can harvest it
for food.
The Potato Project entailed
planting seeds the same way Mr.
Miller’s ancestors did -- in hand-
made furrows. They planted more
than 100 seeds in two hours.
“During school summer vaca-
tion, I do the hard part, control-
ling weeds and potato plant-
eating pests,” Mr. Miller said on
his blog. “Provided that we have
good summer weather and rains,
there should be plenty of potatoes
for the Earth Keepers to return to
harvest in September.”
Over the summer, the students
were able to keep an eye on how
their potatoes were doing through
Mr. Miller’s blog updates. In late
September, they harvested the
potatoes and not only were able
to bring some home to their fam-
ilies, but they used the potatoes
for the school’s breakfast club.
“We’re just trying to get kids
connected with nature as many
ways as we can,” says Ms. Ell-
wood.

Deadly Ottawa attack a shock
for Durham-
based Ontario
Regiment
Ottawa incident followed
killing of soldier in Quebec
Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Recent attacks on members of Canada’s
military are reverberating among members of the
Oshawa-based Ontario Regiment.
“We stand beside all members of the Canadian
Forces serving today and in the past from the regu-
lar force or reserve regiments,” Jeremy Neal Blowers,
communications director with the Ontario Regiment
Musuem, said in a statement Wednesday. “Many of
our members are either current or serving members
of both and the shock of these attacks is deeply felt.
“Our thoughts are with the families of those affect-
ed by the recent attacks, and with our soldiers serv-
ing our country both abroad and at home.”
The comments came hours after Wednesday’s
audacious attacks in Ottawa, where a soldier posted
at the National War Memorial was shot. The violence
continued on nearby Parliament Hill, where a gun-
man was shot dead after a security guard was wounded. Two
others sustained minor injuries, according to reports.
It has been confirmed that the soldier, a reservist from
Hamilton, died after being shot in the chest shortly before 10
a.m.
The violence in Ottawa came two days after Monday’s
attack on two armed forces members near Montreal. War-
rant Officer Patrice Vincent, 53, died, and another soldier was
seriously injured when they were intentionally run over in a
parking lot.
The attacker, identified as 25-year-old Martin Couture-Rou-
leau, died in a confrontation with Quebec police.
At a press conference in Ottawa Wednesday afternoon,
Major-General Christopher Coates of the Armed Forces said
“precautionary measures” have been implemented to ensure
the safety of personnel.
“Canadian Forces Bases and establishments are currently
taking action appropriate to their environments,” he said.
Mr. Blowers said that measures in Durham include a lock-
down at the Regimental Museum site on Stevenson Road
North in Oshawa.
“Our facility has initiated additional security protocol as
directed by our Regiment including a full lockdown awaiting
further instructions,” he said. “In co-operation with local law
enforcement and members of the Ontario Regiment, we are
being extremely vigilant to protect Canadian Forces facilities
in the city and the safety and security of our staff and volun-
teers.”
The Ontario Regiment is based at the Colonel R.S. McLaugh-
lin Armoury on Simcoe Street in central Oshawa.‘‘...the shock of these attacks is
deeply felt.’ Jeremy Neal Blowers,
Ontario Regiment

P Durham school board
marks Ally Week
DURHAM -- The Durham District School
Board is marking Ally Week from Oct. 20
to 24.
Allies are people who are able to identify
marginalization and barriers to equity and
are equipped to create change together.
During Ally Week students will have the
opportunity to participate in activities
such as a three-day Students and Teachers
Against Racism (STAR) retreat for Grade 7
to 12 students from 25 local schools.
On Oct. 23 the board will also host the
Reaching and Teaching Students in Pover-
ty Conference with Paul C. Gorski, associ-
ate professor at George Mason University.
Mr. Gorski helped establish an under-
graduate program and a minor in social
justice and human rights and will talk to
local educators on the misconceptions
and educational practices that undercut
the achievement of low-income students.
The Durham school board has also
declared the 2014-2015 school year the
Year of the Ally.
A number of activities are planned
throughout the year including LGBTQ
Families Engaged sessions, Junior STAR
leadership conferences for students in
Grades 4 to 6 and the board’s annual Equi-
ty Institute focused on social justice ally.

Outrage over
Pickering poll
station locations
To the editor:
We in North Pickering have come to
expect little attention from the City. Some-
times that is a good thing. Making it dif-
ficult for a significant number of North
Pickering residents to vote in the upcom-
ing election, however, is an outrage.
The voting locations for Polls 307 and 308
in Ward 3 will discourage many able-bod-
ied residents from making the long trek to
vote and many seniors and physically chal-
lenged citizens will be excluded.
Voters in Poll 307 including the Hamlet of
Cherrywood have to travel up to 14 kilome-
tres to cast their vote.
Travel to the polling station is further
complicated by the fact that the most direct
route through Whitevale is closed due to
bridge reconstruction.
Voters in Poll 308, including residents of
Brougham and area, must travel up to eight
kilometres to St. Wilfred Catholic School
when many could walk or travel a short
distance if they were allowed to vote at the
designated polling station in Brougham.
One can only assume that those in charge
in the City of Pickering clerk’s office did not
do their homework before mapping out
polling stations in north Pickering. Where
were the current members of Pickering
council, now asking for everyone’s vote?
Something must be done to allow the cit-
izens of north Pickering to exercise their
democratic right to vote as the rest of the
Pickering does.

Thanksgiving in
Canada and the U.S.
To the editor:
Re: ‘Thanksgiving: Nature dresses for the
event’, Neil Crone humour column, Oct. 14,
2014, durhamregion.com.
Mr. Crone said he did not know why the
Americans celebrate their Thanksgiving at
the end of November.
It’s a matter of latitude lines.
Canada is at higher lat-
itude lines than the
U.S.
Thus, the sun leaves
our latitudes sooner,
and our harvest sea-
son is celebrated in
October.
In America, as they’re at lower
latitude lines, so they still have sun while
Canada is harvesting. The sun doesn’t
leave their fields until weeks after it leaves
Canadian fields.
That’s why they have their Thanksgiv-
ing weeks after Canada does. It takes the
sun longer to leave their southern latitude
lines.

History will be made
on election day Oct.
27. but voters across
Durham Region will
have to cast a ballot to
become a part of it.
The 2014 municipal election in commu-
nities across Durham will see eligible voters
directly elect the Durham Regional chair-
man for the first time since the creation of
the Region in 1974 and have six candidates
from which they choose.
Durham residents voted overwhelmingly
in the 2010 election to opt for direct election
of the Regional chairman, 79.9 per cent to
20.3 per cent.
However, voters from Pickering to
Newcastle and on up to Uxbridge and Port
Perry also have the sombre responsibility of
choosing the men and women who will rep-
resent them on city and town councils, pub-
lic, Catholic and French school boards, not
to mention the election of mayor for each
municipality.
And despite the fact that municipal gov-
ernment impacts our lives more closely and
frequently than other levels of government,
eligible voter turnout continues to be dis-
mal. Uxbridge had the best turnout in Dur-
ham in the 2010 election, at 51 per cent,
while the lowest was in Ajax, at 23 per cent.
Each municipality across Durham has
agenda-topping issues that must be dealt
with, and those seeking election must be
given a mandate.
There’s a massive casino and hotel pro-
posal in Pickering, ongoing waterfront algae
issues in Ajax, and a vital question on good
governance in Oshawa as straightforward
examples that require citizen participation
to provide their next council with guidance.
By informing yourself about the issues in
your community, then comparing the posi-
tions and platforms of the contenders, you
can cast a confident vote and, by extension,
provide the mandate councillors, trustees,
and mayors will need over the next four-
year term. Pickering readers received a spe-
cial election section carried in Wednesday’s
newspaper for reference, and we also invite
you to visit durhamregion.com and click on
the Durham 2014 Vote button on the top
right side of the page where you will see a
list of each registered candidate and the
issues on which they stand for election.
Finally, make every effort to cast your
vote and participate directly in your local
democracy if you haven’t already taken
advantage of advance voting opportunities.
Each and every vote matters.
Each and every citizen counts.
It’s your city. Take charge and take the
responsibility to help shape the community
you want.

“Have you ever made a million…bottles of wine?Local winemaking business,Winexpert Pickering has.
Owner &Operator Craig Cats celebrated his iconic milestone this year in October.Craig,having been in the
consumer wine making business for over 23 years,was a founding member of the 36 store franchise called
Wine Not –founded in 1993 and sold in 2005 to a division of Peller Wines.He now operates under the name
“Winexpert”(Pickering)which is the brand name of the industry leading juices supplied by Global Vintners
(a division of Peller).
Craig has owned and operated two of his own wine making stores,until the sale of his Markham location.To
this day,he continues to own and operate Winexpert Pickering since 1996,catering to a large demographic
and adding a new spin on the wine making industry:a down to earth approach to wine.As is to be expected
with all of his industry experience and passion for his craft,Craig’s business has made its mark in the wine
making industry arena -and with reaching THE ONE MILLION BOTTLES MADE MILESTONE,what better way
to mark the historical event than thanking the customers who have made it all possible.
Congratulations to Tony and Heather Scopel for making our ONE MILLIONth BOTTLE of wine.And as a
special “Thank You”gift the Scopels received a 35 bottle wine fridge.
Thank You to all the wine lovers who got us here!CHEERS!
“I am humbled by our customer’s loyalty and I and my staff have always strived to make the best wine in
the on-premises winemaking industry.I believe that’s why our clientele are so loyal and keep coming back.”
says Craig.He also states that “our success over the last two decades can be attributed to a combination of
quality,knowledge and service.And it all hinges on making sure our wines are the best in the industry.”
Craig’s winemaking facility also offers something that very few in the province offer and is very rare…
barrel ageing.He actually has 18 custom made wine barrels that allow you to barrel age your wines.
Winexpert Pickering also offers to customize wines to your taste.As an educator and speaker,Craig also offers
his services for private functions and has conducted wine tastings for many functions including the “Image is
Everything”MRI fundraiser for the Ajax Hospital as well as the Durham Hospice fundraiser at PORT Restaurant.
“When teaching or talking about wine,I like to use analogies and examples that everyone can relate to
Added Craig.His unique approach to wine and wine making is refreshingly down-to-earth and simple.

Pickering
school receives
platinum
EcoSchool award
DURHAM -- The Durham Catholic District
School Board recently honoured 43 local
schools at its 7th annual EcoSchool Cele-
bration.
The Ontario EcoSchools program helps
schools develop ecological literacy and
environmental practices, reduce their eco-
logical footprint and become environmen-
tally responsible.
Chris Leahy, chairman of the board of
trustees, praised the work of the local
schools.
“Their environmental actions and prac-
tices implemented today will be valued for
generations to come as they continue to
share what they have learned and imple-
ment new ideas for a sustainable future.”
This year, St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic
School in Pickering became the first Cath-
olic school in Durham to achieve a Plati-
num EcoSchool Certification Award.
The school achieved the honour by
reducing its garbage and energy footprint
and receiving a Gold Certification under
the program for the past six years.
The other schools recognized this year
received gold, silver or bronze certifica-
tions.

Students also took part in a mock town
hall meeting regarding the federal lands.
People with interests either for or against
a Pickering airport spoke to the children
in advance of the debate.
Guests included Land Over Land-
ings member Mary Delaney and mem-
bers from the Canadian Owners and
Pilots Association, so the students were
informed on both sides.

Province tells
Durham trustees
to scrap pay
raises
Jillian Follert
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Durham District School Board
trustees are being asked to cancel a small
cost-of-living raise that was approved earlier
this fall.
Education Minister Liz Sandals recent-
ly sent a memo to Ontario school boards
announcing a salary freeze started in 2006
will be extended to the 2014-2018 term of
office.
“As you know, our over-arching goal is to
improve student achievement and well-
being, while ensuring long-term financial
sustainability,” reads an excerpt. “We are in a
challenging fiscal time, and our government
is committed to balancing the budget by
2017-18. In our climate of continued financial
restraint, we are asking everyone to do their
part to address Ontario’s economic challeng-
es.”
Trustees in Durham currently receive an
honorarium of $5,900, plus additional pay
based on the number of students enrolled in
the board -- it works out to about $16,000 a
year.
Like many other school boards in Ontar-
io, the DDSB was anticipating an end to the
Province’s pay freeze and recently approved
an increase that would have bumped the
honorarium up by about $585 a year.
The memo from the ministry says holding
the honorarium at $5,900 is “necessary until
we achieve our goal of eliminating the prov-
ince’s deficit.”
DDSB chairman Joe Allin says the board
understands the need for fiscal restraint.
However, he calls the timing of the
announcement “troubling” and questions
the message it sends. “This comes right in the
midst of a municipal election, during a time
when there has been discussion about how
the public sees the importance of the school
trustee,” he says.
The pay freeze also affects the Durham
Catholic District School Board.

Ontario homes
must have
carbon monoxide
detectors
‘Silent killer’ leads
to 50 deaths across
Canada a year
DURHAM -- New provincial rules mean
Ontario residents must have carbon mon-
oxide detectors in their homes.
As of Oct. 15, the Ontario government’s
regulations making carbon monoxide
(CO) alarms mandatory in homes across
the province has come into effect. Odor-
less, tasteless and undetectable, CO is
often called the silent killer and, accord-
ing to numbers provided by the province,
50 people die each year from CO poison-
ing in Canada including 11 on average in
Ontario.
Potential sources of CO, produced any-
time a fossil fuel is burned, include gas or
oil furnaces, water heaters, space heaters,
clothes dryers, barbecue grills, fireplaces,
wood-burning stoves, gas ovens, genera-
tors and car exhaust fumes.
The first Carbon Monoxide Awareness
Week will take place Nov. 1 to 8 and further
information can be found at www.endthe-
silence.ca and www.safeathome.ca.
Prevention tips
• Only install CO alarms that are CSA
approved.
• Replace CO alarms that are 7-10 years
old, depending on the manufacturer.
• Have a licensed professional inspect
heating systems and other fuel-burning
appliances annually.
• Keep chimneys clear of animal nests,
leaves and residue to ensure proper venting.
• Have all fireplaces cleaned and inspect-
ed annually.
• Do not block (snow, trash) or seal shut
the exhaust flues or vents and ducts used by
water heaters, ranges and clothes dryers.
• Never leave your car running in an
attached garage or carport.
• Do not use ovens or stoves to heat your
home.

P Durham residents
can drop off
reusable
household items
for charities
DURHAM -- Saturday is the last day of 2014
that residents can drop off reusable house-
hold items for Reuse Day.
The Regional Municipality of Durham’s
Works Department is reminding residents
to drop off the items on Saturday, Oct. 25,
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 4600 Garrard Rd.,
free of charge.
Items will be donated to Habitat for
Humanity ReStores (Ajax, Oshawa and
Uxbridge locations), and one of the follow-
ing partner organizations: Canadian Dia-
betes Association, Goodwill or the Salva-
tion Army.
The program helps divert quality, reus-
able items from landfill such as bedding,
furniture, appliances and most other reus-
able renovation materials.
Only good-quality items will be accepted.
Garbage, household hazardous waste and
unwanted electronics will not be accepted.
Materials refused by charities must be
removed by residents or disposed of at one
of the Region’s waste management facilities
(fees will apply).
For more, and a list of acceptable items,
visit www.durham.ca/wasteevents or call
1-800-667-5671.

More charges
laid against
Durham break-in
suspects
DURHAM -- A Toronto couple busted last
month for several break-ins in Durham
Region has been linked to more crimes.
Police say they have laid charges relating
to 13 additional break-ins, including eight
in Pickering and Whitby, against Charmain
Whelan, 57, and 54-year-old Rhys McCar-
thy. They were charged last month in a
string of daytime break-ins that saw thieves
force open doors before stealing electron-
ics, jewelry and liquor.
Cops said they’ve recovered addition-
al stolen property and are attempting to
return it to the rightful owners.
Police have issued a warrant for the arrest
of a third suspect. Christopher Dacosta, 27,
of Scarborough, is wanted for two counts
of break and enter.

Digestive Health 101: Feeling Good on the Inside and Out
(NC) The digestive system is best described as
the body’s engine. Did you know that every day,
eight different organs work together to process the
essential nutrients needed for energy, growth, and
rejuvenation?
Digestion is fundamental to good health, but a
high proportion of Canadians – as many as 20
million, or 56% of the population – regularly
suffer from digestive problems like heartburn,
constipation and cramps.
According to Dr. Taz Bhatia, an integrative health
expert, as well as a frequent contributor to the
Dr. Oz Show, and the author of the new Random
House book called The 21-Day Belly Fix, digestive
discomfort should not be considered inevitable.
“Even though many people experience digestive
problems on a regular basis, there is a stigma that
causes us to be embarrassed by them,” she points
out. “Therefore, we are often reluctant to seek
treatment – and that can only complicate matters.
My advice to any patient is to do your body a
favour and make the basic lifestyle changes that
can lead to optimal digestive health, and seek extra
help when you need it.”
Dr. Taz recommends the following tips for healthy
digestion:
1. Fibre, fibre, and more fibre. A balanced diet
that is high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains,
keeps food moving through the digestive tract.
2. Drink water. Staying hydrated is also a
fundamental component of good health. Drinking
water throughout the day and avoiding carbonated
beverages will help ensure that the digestive tract
is lubricated, which facilitates the flow of food.
3. Know when to seek treatment. When the body is
dehydrated, the intestines compensate by drawing
water out of food. This in turn leads to constipation,
a common digestive disorder that affects one in
four Canadians and is best defined as infrequent
or difficult bowel movements. A recent study by
the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation with
support from RestoraLAX, reveals that many
people who suffer from constipation report a
negative impact on their productivity and overall
quality of life.
According to Dr. Taz, the first line of defense
against occasional constipation is to help water
work in the digestive system more effectively.
“After proper hydration and use of natural
therapies, I often advise my patients to try an over-
the-counter treatment called PEG 3350 laxatives,
which can give water a boost,” she explains.
“When the first signs of constipation occur, try one
of these solutions before resorting to the strongest
option on the pharmacy shelf.”
Working with the body’s natural functions,
PEG 3350 laxatives draw water into the bowel
to soften stools and increase the frequency of
bowel movements. Available over the counter at
pharmacies and drugstores, this type of laxative is
recognized as being gentle and having relatively
few side effects. They are different from stimulant
laxatives, which trigger contractions of intestinal
muscles and may lead to such side effects as gas,
cramps and bloating.

How to keep common cold germs at bay
(NC) Every day and especially during winter,
we are exposed to common cold germs which
spread easily from person to person through
small mucus particles in the air. The pesky
common cold causes an estimated 40% of
work absenteeism and 30% of school absences.
Although the symptoms normally improve
within a week, they can also last up to two
weeks.
Fortunately, there are naturally-sourced and
effective ways to keep common cold germs
at bay:
1. Wash your hands: On average, people touch
their face with their hand more than 5,000 times
a day. So washing your hands with soap in
lukewarm water is an effective way to reduce the
chances of germs coming in contact with your
eyes, nose, or mouth. This is especially important
after using door knobs, public transport, after the
gym, or after visiting a sick person.
2. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: To help your
immune system fight germs, be sure to get
enough sleep, eat healthy and remain active.
Start your new routine by going to bed 30
minutes earlier than usual, take the stairs at
work, add a piece of fruit to your lunch, or trade
in your soft drink for a glass of water.
3. Use a saline nasal irrigation solution: For
example, the daily use of a brand called
hydraSense can help prevent and treat common
cold symptoms. Be aware that a healthcare
professional must be consulted for use of the
product beyond six weeks.
“Saline nasal drops have been proven to reduce
the length of colds because they eliminate
germs that may be stuck in nasal cavities,” says
Meriem Bouanane, a medical advisor. “They
provide an effective and non-irritating natural-
sourced solution to relieve nasal congestion and
to facilitate breathing.”
Other measures such as keeping counter tops
clean, not smoking, and washing your children’s
toys when infected with a cold, can also help to
keep germs away.

Arun Pal, Ajax’s eclectic musician
He sings, plays piano,
drums, guitar and
records
Mike Ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- One could sit and talk music and
musicians with Arun Pal all day.
The Ajax singer/songwriter has released
solo records, played on and recorded work
for others and created improvised music for
contemporary dance. He teaches music as
well, but of late has been performing with a
kindred spirit, Sam Dlugokecki.
“We’re both multi-instrumentalists,” Pal
says. “The beauty of it is we can play our
music. It’s really rewarding ... how people
respond to it and how it feels to be on stage.”
It feels, he says, “more centred to who I
am.”
It’s been a long musical road for Pal and
he’s gained a lot of perspective. A lot of peo-
ple play music and are involved in music,
but most have a job on the side. Pal is at it
full-time (“it could be fuller,” he quips).
From the Collingwood area, he first start-
ed plunking on a piano when he was young.
He took lessons, but quit because, he says,
at five or six years of age reading music
wasn’t fun.
“What really interested me was my desire
to go to university and take music,” he says.
Pal got his Grade 9 conservatory piano
so he could take music at Wilfrid Laurier
University. He took a piano/drums double
major but composition interested him just
as much.
By the end of the 90s, Pal had played with
a number of bands and artists, includ-
ing Matthew Osborne and the jam band
‘snack!’ It was an eclectic mix that broad-
ened his horizons.
“It was really an interesting time,” he
says. “I realized I had this opportunity to
work with these artists from these different
worlds.”
He had also built his own recording stu-
dio and by the end of the decade he start-
ed doing solo work. He was to give up on it
for a while. Pal admits he was worried about
what people thought of him and his music.
But he also had a hard time reconciling
what he could with a song in the studio with
playing it live.
Still, Pal had a house by then and felt pres-
sure to pay the bills, so he plunged into
music. He says he would spend 70 or 80
hours a week recording and playing. By the
time Osborne died in 2004, Pal knew he was
taking on too much. He began work on his
double solo album, It’s Time/Once Again,
and felt like he was “getting back on track.”
It was well reviewed and people began tak-
ing notice of Pal’s talent as a musician and
writer.
During a solo show in Ajax earlier this
year, Pal at times played guitar and sang and
at others took to the piano while singing
and playing percussion.
He was one of the musicians who per-
formed at C’est What? in Toronto on Oct.
16 for Ten Years Gone: a tribute to the life
and music of Matt Osborne. It was a mov-
ing night and he felt a strong connection to
Osborne and his music.
As for himself, Pal says he thinks he’s
found the right work/life balance.
“I guess the No. 1 thing that matters is
having the right kind of energy at the right
time,” he says.
“It’s not just about being an artist.”
Self-effacing, Pal says he doesn’t have “a
sense of entitlement” to drive him forward.
But he wants to keep going as an artist,
learning and growing.
“I think it’s a great thing to be,” Pal says.

music.com.

2015 Key to the GMC Contest deadline tomorrow
DURHAM -- The key to Oshawa’s Gener-
al Motors Centre unlocks a year’s worth of
sports and entertainment events.
But the big question is, will it be two in a
row for Clarington?
Last year, Courtice’s Kim Engel told us
she was “stunned and elated” when Global
Spectrum’s William Balfour, marketing and
group sales manager at the GMC, called her
up to tell her she was the winner of the Key
to the GMC Contest.
At the GMC, Engel brought her husband
Craig, son Tanner and daughter Tiffany to
share in the fun when Balfour presented
her with her big ticket. But that was just for
show. Balfour explained to Engel that on the
first day of every month in 2014, a pair of
tickets for that month would be ready for her
to pick up.
A year has almost passed and Engel made
the most of her key: she and family mem-
bers were at the venue for Oshawa Generals’
games and some sweet live events and con-
certs, namely The Band Perry, Jason Aldean,
Elton John, Hedley and Cirque du Soleil.
It’s time for the fifth annual contest, with
the winner receiving a pair of tickets to every
2015 event at the arena.
Last year’s contest saw almost 20,000 peo-
ple enter.
The 2015 GMC event calendar is begin-
ning to take shape, including an April Tragi-
cally Hip concert.
“There are more big events coming to
Oshawa for 2015 so fans should definitely
keep their eyes opened,” Balfour said in a
press release. “Our fans get extremely excit-
ed at the thought of winning this prize and
I can’t wait to let this year’s winner know as
their reactions are always priceless.”
This year’s contest runs until Oct. 31 at
11:59 p.m. ET.
Learn how to enter and see the full contest
rules and regulations at www.gmcentre.ca/

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.

While an RBCInsurance survey1 shows that 9 in 10 parents
rate their teensasfairly good drivers,manyteenagersstill
fall prey to common driving misconceptions.
“Being a teenage driver isn’t easy. You’re developing
a new skill and learning the rules of the road, and
because of this, are more likely to fall victim to myths,”
explains Natalie Dupuis, Senior Product Manager, Auto,
RBC Insurance. “The consequences of making a mistake
on the road can have serious ramifications, including
the impact to your pocketbook, with teens in an accident
seeing substantial increases in premiums upwards of
50%. However, knowing what types of mistakes you’re
most likely to commit can help teens make the right
driving decisions.”
While a number of these activities are already illegal, still
many dangerous driving misconceptions persist. To help
set the record straight, RBC Insurance debunks the three
most common driving misconceptions among teens:
Myth:“I can safelytext or talk on my phone while driving.”
Fact:Cell phones are a significant visual and cognitive
distraction for drivers, with average “eyes off the road”
times that increase the riskof collision considerably.
Drivers engaged in text messaging on a cell phone are
23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near
crash event than non-distracted drivers.
2
Myth:“I’ve only had one drink so I’m fine to drive.”
Fact:Any amount of alcohol impairs driving and
increases the riskof collision. Even one drinkcan cloud
your thinking, dim your vision and slow your reflexes.
Alcohol also affects your attention span, alertness and
coordination. A driver with a blood alcohol content of
0.10% is 50 times more likely to be involved in a fatal
crash than a driver with no blood alcohol content.
3
Myth:“Driving underthe influence of cannabis is not as
bad as driving underthe influence of alcohol.”
Fact:Your driving ability can be impaired by pot just
as much as it can be impaired by alcohol, as both can
impact your ability to concentrate and lower your reaction
time. In fact, drivers between 16 and 24 years old are
equally split between drinking-driver fatalities (27.6%)
and drug-positive driver fatalities (26.9%).

PICKERING -- The Pickering Panthers
continue to play competitive hockey and
were rewarded with three points in their
past two outings.
They got back-to-back games against
Toronto entries in Ontario Junior Hock-
ey League play, beating the Jr. Canadiens
3-1 on home ice Friday, but dropping a
double overtime 2-1 game to the defend-
ing league champion Patriots on Tuesday
night.
In the win, Nicholas Lepone, Brandon
Salerno and Joseph Mitchell had the goals,
as the Panthers carried a 2-0 lead into the
third period. The Jr. Canadiens cut it to
one with 3:14 to go on the power play and
with the goalie pulled for an extra attack-
er. Mitchell answered back just 35 seconds
later to restore the two-goal margin.
Tuesday it took both the Panthers and
Patriots forever to score. The Patriots broke
a scoreless tie with just 56 seconds to go in
the game, but the Panthers answered right
back just 30 seconds later when Lepone
tied it. In the new overtime format, neither
team scored four on four, but the Patriots’
Beau Browning tallied 43 seconds into the
three on three for the game-winner.
Pickering moved into first place in the
North Division with an 8-4-0-3 record, one
point better than Aurora’s 18, and three
up on Newmarket’s 16. Lindsay (15) and
Stouffville (13) round out the division.
On Friday the Panthers will host Oran-
geville at 7:30 p.m., heading to Wellington
on Sunday night.

Lightning finding ways to win
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Every year, the Durham West Jr.
Lightning pick a home game in October
and wear pink jerseys to show their sup-
port and raise awareness for the fight
against breast cancer.
This season, it hit a little closer to home
than usual when they pulled them on for
Sunday’s matinee game against Stoney
Creek.
“I think every year it hits home for every-
one differently. This year a little more for
us,” said head coach Jeremy Murphy, as
the mom of one of his players fights breast
cancer.
“There was an added feeling around that
game. The game was dedicated to her and
the girls had a little ceremony in the room
before. It was definitely good to get the
win.”
Backstopped by the shutout performance
of Tera Hofmann, who stopped all 21 shots,
the Lightning rode a second-period goal by
Katrina Manoukarakis to a 1-0 victory. The
Lightning were certainly opportunistic,
directing just 13 shots at the Stoney Creek
net.
It was the sixth win in a row for the Light-
ning, who benefitted from a power-play
and short-handed goal Saturday night
on home ice to beat Waterloo 4-1. Kait-
lyn McManus had both the specialty team
goals, and added another even strength for
the hat trick. Alexandra Maw had the other
goal late in the third period. The Light-
ning were in control throughout, holding a
40-10 edge in shots on goal.
“The girls came up with a team motto
this year which is ‘Find a Way,’” said Mur-
phy. “I think this particular weekend, both
games emulated that. They had to find
ways to win both games differently.
“The most impressive thing to me so far,
we’ve managed to find ways to win.”
Tuesday night, the Lightning played Lea-
side to a scoreless overtime tie, Rebecca
Clark credited with the shutout.
The Lightning will be in Detroit this
weekend to compete in a Can-Am tourna-
ment. They return to league play on Sun-
day, Nov. 2 when they host Brampton at
the Ajax Community Centre.
AJAX -- Durham West Junior Lightning’s Natalie Wozney battled for the puck with
Stoney Creek Sabres’ Sarah Jerome during their Provincial Women’s Hockey League
game at the Ajax Community Centre. The Lightning blanked the Sabres 1-0.

Dillon Campbell
named offensive
player of game
WATERLOO -- The accolades just keep on
coming for Dillon Campbell.
The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks
named the running back as one of its play-
ers of the game on offence for his play in a
27-10 loss to McMaster.
Campbell, of Whitby, was recognized
as the offensive player of the game for the
sixth time this season after another great
performance against No. 3 McMaster. The
fourth-year kinesiology and physical edu-
cation major rushed for 123 yards on 22
carries, the seventh straight week that he’s
eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark. His
showing against the top team in the OUA
gives the St. Mary Catholic School gradu-
ate 1,255 yards on the season, the 16th
most in one season in CIS history.

Dal Colle
to represent
Generals,
OHL in
Super Series
OSHAWA -- Michael Dal Colle will
get both games this time to prove
himself at the Subway Super Series.
Dal Colle, the marquee player
for the Oshawa Generals, has been
chosen to represent the Ontario
Hockey League for games in Peter-
borough on Nov. 13 and Kingston
Nov. 17 against a team of Russian
national junior team hopefuls.
He also played last year, but only
in one of the two OHL-hosted
games, in Oshawa at the General
Motors Centre, where he saw lim-
ited ice time in a 5-2 loss.
Dal Colle will be joined by Gen-
erals defenceman Mitchell Vande
Sompel for the game in Kingston.
The series also includes two
games in the Western Hockey
League prior to both OHL games,
and ends with the two games host-
ed by the Quebec Major Junior
Hockey League.
Dal Colle is one of 14 players
selected who attended Canada’s
national junior team summer
development camp, a list that also
includes forward Connor McDavid
of the Erie Otters, the expected No.
1 pick in the next NHL draft.
Drafted fifth overall by the New
York Islanders earlier this year, Dal
Colle has five goals and 12 points
in seven games with the Generals
this season after missing the first
four games while at camp with the
Islanders.
Vande Sompel, who’s eligible
for next year’s NHL draft, is cur-
rently tied for second among OHL
defencemen with 11 points, includ-
ing a goal.
The Kingston game will also
include Mitchell Marner of the
London Knights, another draft
prospect who spent some time in
the minor hockey systems of Clar-
ington and Whitby,
Paul McFarland and John Good-
win will serve as assistant coaches
for the game in Kingston. McFar-
land was an assistant with the
Generals last season and is now
the head coach of the Frontenacs,
while Goodwin is a former Gener-
als head coach and now an assis-
tant in Kingston.
In 11 years of competition against
the Russians, the OHL has a record
of 19-2-1 in the series after a 5-2
loss in Oshawa and a 3-2 shootout
loss in Sudbury last season.

His memory we treasure
The love, the smile, the strength
you had we will never let go
Loving you always, forgetting you never.
Lovingly remembered by his wife Joyce,
daughters Debbie, Karen and Brenda,
son Johnny, grandchildren and one
great-grandson, brother Ed,
sisters Anita & Anne
