A law making carbon monoxide warning devices mandatory in Ontario homes took effect Oct. 15. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Beware of ‘silent killer’ More than 80 per cent of deaths, injuries from carbon monoxide in Ontario occur in the home: Pickering Fire Services Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It’s invisible, tasteless and odourless, but it’s also deadly. Pickering Fire Services is raising awareness about the ‘silent killer,’ carbon monoxide poisoning, as Nov. 1 to Nov. 8 is the first Carbon Monoxide Aware- ness Week in Pickering. It’s now the law for all Ontarians to have a CO detector. “All Pickering residents should commit to install- ing and regularly testing their carbon monoxide alarms,” says Fire Chief John Hagg. The City will post CO safety messages on its Twit- ter and Facebook accounts throughout the week using the hashtag #COSafety. Social media users are encouraged to follow the City’s accounts and help spread the word. “People seem to understand that they can’t see, smell or taste it, so they know what’s associated with it. They just don’t understand how it’s hap- pening in people’s homes, and it does happen,” says Julie Ineson, Pickering fire inspector. While the fire department does get called to busi- nesses once in a while, the majority of calls are resi- dential. See DETECTORS page 9 A nation-wide debate on physi- cian-assisted suicide has flooded social media and made headlines around the world. Twenty-nine-year-old Brittany Maynard’s story has been on the minds of many in Canada and the United States following her death. The terminally ill woman died by suicide Saturday, Nov. 1 by swal- lowing lethal drugs made available under the state of Oregon’s law. A video released by U.S. non-prof- it organization Compassion and Choices on YouTube in early Octo- ber captures Brittany sharing her story. In January 2014, Brittany was diagnosed with brain cancer. She was given a prognosis of six months to live. According to the video, glio- blastoma multiforme is the most aggressive and lethal form of brain cancer. It grows and spreads to other parts of the brain quickly. Stud- ies show that few patients survive beyond three years, regardless of the treatment course they receive.

Twenty-nine-year-old Brittany Maynard’s story has been on the minds of many in Cana- da and the United States following her death. The terminally ill woman died by suicide Saturday, Nov. 1 by swallowing lethal drugs made available under the state of Oregon’s law. A video released by U.S. non-profit orga- nization Compassion and Choices on You- Tube in early October captures Brittany shar- ing her story. In January 2014, Brittany was diagnosed with brain cancer. She was given a prognosis of six months to live. According to the video, glioblastoma multiforme is the most aggressive and lethal form of brain can- cer. It grows and spreads to other parts of the brain quickly. Studies show that few patients survive beyond three years, regardless of the treatment course they receive. Ms. Maynard and her husband Dan Diaz moved to Portland from northern California so that she could take advantage of the Ore- gon law. She planned to die by suicide Nov. 1, shortly after her husband’s birthday. After a second video was released, hinting a possible delay, Sean Crowley, spokesman for Com- passion and Choices, confirmed that Ms. Maynard was surrounded by family Saturday when she took the medication. “She died as she intended -- peacefully in her bedroom, in the arms of her loved ones,” he said. In the days leading up to her death, Ms. Maynard suffered from frequent and long seizures, and had severe head and neck pain with stroke-like symptoms. As her symptoms grew more severe, Ms. Maynard made the choice to take the lethal medication. Francoise Hebert is a volunteer member of the board of directors of Dying with Dignity Canada. She says when it comes to the debate on physician-assisted suicide, there has been a major shift in public attitude. “It maybe has to do with the Charter of Rights, or maybe it’s the younger generations who have a stronger sense of autonomy who refuse to have authorities tell them how they should live their lives,” she says. Ms. Hebert says over the last 20 years since the Charter was first introduced, there have been all sorts of cases, notably Sue Rodri- guez’s case which came before the Supreme Court of Canada. Ms. Hebert highlighted Sec- tion 7, the right to life, liberty and security of the person. “If dying is the final act of life, then denying assistance to dying, denies the right to life,” she says. Many jurisdictions around the world have enacted legal assistance to die including Bel- gium, Netherlands and Switzerland. In the United States, physician-assisted suicide is legal in Oregon, Washington, Montana, Ver- mont and New Mexico. Ms. Hebert wishes more jurisdictions would allow people to die. “Most people want to die at home, they don’t want to die in a foreign country, and they don’t want to move in order to go and die. Brittany was sick, terribly ill. It cost a lot of money to move. You should be able to die at home.” In mid-October, the Supreme Court of Can- ada was challenged by Lee Carter of Van- couver, who took her 89-year-old mother Kathleen Carter to Switzerland for an assist- ed death in 2010. According to reports, if the decision of granting the right to a physician- assisted death is granted, it would overrule the wishes of Parliament, and the court’s own ruling from 20 years ago. It can take five or six months to render a Supreme Court decision. Ms. Hebert says she believes politicians are scared of addressing the issue. “It’s just like they were scared of address- ing abortion and gay rights. People who are opposed (to physician-assisted suicide) are fiercely opposed to it. The Catholic Church is fiercely opposed to it,” she says. According to a recent study conducted by Dying with Dignity, 84 per cent of Canadi- ans polled said they would support assisted dying. Ms. Hebert says with the growing sup- port, she is “cautiously optimistic” that the Supreme Court will decide that the current law is unconstitutional. If that happens, Ms. Hebert says the federal government will have to decriminalize assistance dying. “Even if you don’t take advantage of that law, it will comfort you knowing that you could.” According to Ms. Hebert, in Oregon since 1997 when the law was passed, there have been 2,013 prescriptions written to date, but only 1,173 were used. In Canada, only Quebec has adopted a sim- ilar law. Bill 52, The End of Life Care Act, was passed in June. Unlike Oregon, in Quebec, a patient must have a physician present from the time of taking a lethal cocktail or injec- tion, until death. “There is no jurisdiction in the world that opens it up to anyone. There has to be suf- fering, there has to be an underlying medical condition or illness, with more than one doc- tor signing off. All of this is to prevent vulner- able people from being pressured to die,” says Ms. Hebert. Celine McCorimack is the palliative care co- ordinator at Durham Hospice. In her experi- ence, she says, all clients at Durham Hospice want to die with dignity and says it’s impor- tant to note that every illness is different. “If you have a very skilled palliative care physician, they should be for the most part hopefully managing the pain so that they are kept comfortable right to the end. People are encouraged to talk to their physician about what their fears are, anxiety, and a lot of it is centred around pain.” Ms. McCorimack says she hasn’t had a cli- ent feel very strongly about taking Ms. May- nard’s route. “I’ve had clients that have suf- fered with feeling low and depressed at moments, saying ‘I wish it was all over’, but it’s in reflective nature as opposed to ‘I want to move to Oregon and make it happen’.” Oshawa resident London Slade says he is fairly neutral on the topic of assisted-physi- cian suicide. “If you’re going out of your way to make that much of an effort, to move to the States, me personally I wouldn’t go that route. I would fight, but to each their own.” On the contrary, Durham Region resident Sam Chapman says she is totally against it. “Giving up so easily is like a huge smack in the face. It’s like telling everyone else in the world with a brain tumour, to just kill yourself because it’s easier.” Kim Bacon is an Oshawa resident whose cousin died of brain cancer, similar to that of Ms. Maynard’s diagnosis. “I know that he suffered a lot. Even in the end, doctors said the drugs were going to kill him or the tumour would just continue to grow. It was a brutal death.” Ms. Bacon says it is a matter of being brave. “Personally, if it was me, I don’t know if I would be brave enough. She’s really brave to make that decision to end her own life.” A TIME TO DIE DURHAM -- A nation-wide debate on physician-assisted suicide has flooded social media and made headlines around the world. Terminally ill 29-year-old Brittany Maynard died by suicide November, after swallowing lethal drugs made available under the state of Oregon’s law. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 6 , 2 0 1 4 3 APCats rely on yard sale funds to stay warm, fed, loved Local charity raising funds through FuelLocal for new roof Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- At the Second Chance Wildlife Sanc- tuary, Lady makes it known that she’s a cat who likes attention. Misty has a long, graceful walk, much like a ballerina. Tower has seizures and is blind in one eye. “You name it, Tower has a problem,” says president Phyllis Healey. Brock was rescued after being hit by a car on Brock Street in Whitby and he now gets around on three legs. Sparky was rescued from Keele and Jane streets in Toronto when children were throwing firecrackers at him, but he’s come around a lot, says Ms. Healey. “This is home for our cats until they find a home of their own,” she says. But Second Chance relies on help from donors to ensure that cats like Misty, Lady, Tower, Brock and Sparky will always have a place to call home in case no one ever chooses them. Second Chance receives no government funding and the volunteer-run board hosts events such as barbe- cues, bake sales, bingo and regular yard sales -- a big fundraiser for the sanctuary -- to raise money for the felines. “We rely largely on donations,” says Ms. Healey. Since the money raised goes first and foremost to the cats, Second Chance hasn’t been able to spend the money to replace a leaky roof on the portable that hous- es the yard sales, and cats temporarily as needed. That portable desperately needs a new roof, which Ms. Heal- ey believes will cost roughly $3,500. Second Chance has used band-aid solutions over the years to hold off on paying the expense, but board members have decided to start a FuelLocal campaign in order to raise the funds needed for a new roof by Valentine’s Day. Second Chance’s costs include food, litter, cleaning supplies, medicine, vet visits and surgeries, spaying and neutering. Also, Ms. Healey says it costs around $2,000 every month to heat the shelter in the winter. And then there are emergency costs. “Last year when we had the ice storm, it was horrible,” recalls Ms. Healey, who says she had to take the elder- ly cats home to keep them warm when the power went out. Luckily, a generous person ended up donating a gen- erator. Second Chance was founded in 1996 by Joyce Smith, a Pickering resident who loved animals so much that she could never turn any of them away. She’d allow critters of all kinds to take refuge in her home, and eventually was able to find a place more suitable for the animals in north Pickering, thanks to the generosity of ClubLink Corporation. Following the death of Ms. Smith in 2008, Second Chance found homes for the non-feline ani- mals and it now focuses only on abandoned and injured cats. Second Chance is a no-kill shelter. Lady, for example, a resident of Second Chance for at least 10 years, has long outlived the deadline that cats are given at many other shelters. “Every one of them has their own special place,” says Ms. Healey. “When we lose them, it’s hard. I get emotional.” Linda Watson, who has been volunteering at Second Chance for a year and a half, says her heart broke when she saw all of the cats awaiting forever homes. “I couldn’t sleep for several nights,” she says of the time after her first visit. Despite the old roof, the Christmas Indoor Yard Sale will still take place at 2060 Concession Rd. 7, Pickering on Saturday, Nov. 22 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit www.second-chance.ws for details.

What is a Transportation Master Plan? A TMP is a strategic planning document designed to define the policies,programs and infrastructure changes required to meet future transportation needs. It will address planned future growth in Durham by developing a transportation system that balances the need for road network expansion with more transit services, cycling and pedestrian opportunities, while enhancing safety, promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impacts. How You Can Get Involved We invite you to visit the project web site at www.durham.ca/tmp to learn the latest information about this important study. In addition we invite you to attend the first of three rounds of Public Information Centres (PICs) to discuss the future vision of transportation in Durham. The PICs will be held on four days at four different locations,and you are welcome to drop into any of the PICs at any time during the periods noted below.

But now he’s at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Scienc- es, one of many facilities current- ly housing the displaced seniors, and she and her husband Andre Truba are pleased with the level of care he’s receiving. “They’ve gone way beyond,” Ms. Truba said of the way the Region of Durham and Fairview staff handled the situation. Regional staff and represen- tatives from the Central East Community Care Access Cen- tre answered questions on the current situation at a meeting on Nov. 4 for family members of Fairview residents. The meet- ing was so packed that attendees spilled into a second room. The media and members of the public without family members who are residents of Fairview were not allowed to attend. The Oct. 27 fire resulted in lost property but no deaths. A new building on the Whitby site was already under construction at the time of the fire, but it isn’t expect- ed to open until early 2015. In an interview before the Nov. 4 meeting with families, Laura MacDermaid, the Region’s direc- tor of long-term care and services for seniors, explained the Region and partners have found suitable facilities such as hospitals, retire- ment homes and long-term care homes for displaced residents to live in until the new building opens. She said some are in rooms, and others are in clusters. Some may be shifted around if they are in hospitals since they are only able to stay there for a limited time. “If they’ve been committed to a long-term care bed, they will be there until the rebuild (most like- ly),” said Ms. MacDermaid. She noted all current residents will be given priority to come back to the new Fairview Lodge. Scott Stiles’s father is currently staying at Extendicare Oshawa. “They solved a few things but other things they’re still in the process of,” he said in an inter- view after the meeting. He and others are wondering when the new building will open. Ms. MacDermaid said Regional staff met with the contractor last week to discuss whether opening date of the new building could be pushed up, and the contractor is currently investigating options. Mr. Stiles’s mother, Nell Stiles, had just filled out a room request for her husband’s move into the new building from the old one before the fire broke out. “I handed the stuff in on the Fri- day and the fire was on the Mon- day,” said the Whitby resident. She’s hopeful that her husband will stay at Extendicare, which doesn’t require her to travel far to visit, until the new building opens. Oshawa resident Wanda Jewel said she and her husband were happy with the way the Region handled the situation and felt the meeting was useful. “It’s nice to know what’s going on,” she said.

The race is between the Prime Minister, should he decide to run, and Lib- eral leader Justin Trudeau. Neither is per- fect, both are vastly different. The Prime Minister has not only managed to remain in office as one of the longest PM’s in history, he’s gone from a minority to a majority. Mr. Trudeau has no doubt over- come obstacles to become the leader of his party. This reminds me of the race between President George Bush and Barack Obama in the 2008 U.S presidential election. The president was older, wasn’t media-savvy and along comes a fresh face with a new slogan, “Yes, we can.” Oh Canada, don’t let history repeat itself on this side of the bor- der! Ask the people who fell in love with the idea of President Obama then, what they’d say now that the honeymoon is over. Nobody’s been on a honeymoon with the Prime Minister. He hasn’t swept us off our feet. He’s just kept the nation steady and advancing domestically and international- ly. It matters who is at the helm of this ship called Canada because it can easily become the Titanic if the wrong leader is there. And no matter what you believe, the reality is that we haven’t collided with any icebergs on his watch. Renae Jarrett W riter misinformed on CFTC: Carrie To the editor: Re: ‘Is there no bottom to the cynicism of these faux conservatives?’, letter to the edi- tor, durhamregion.com, Oct. 20, 2014. As Member of Parliament for Oshawa I feel that it’s important for me to address misinformation presented in a letter to the editor regarding the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit (CFTC). The author claimed that the extension of the CFTC is a transfer from the poor to the rich. This is false. The CFTC is now refund- able so that it will be more beneficial to low-income families. It deliver tax relief to about 850,000 additional families who enroll their children in fitness activities. Furthermore, two-thirds of the benefits from the Oct. 30 announcement by Prime Minister Stephen Harper flow to low- and middle-income families. For exam- ple, under new tax relief programs fami- lies earning less than $30,000 will receive an average benefit of $1,218 and a single parent with two children earning $30,000 receives $1,524 per year. Furthermore, the author of the letter stat- ed an underclass is being created by the Conservatives. This is false. There are now nearly 1.4 million fewer Canadians living under the poverty line. The Conservatives provides real relief for hard-working, low-income Canadians. Colin Carrie Remembrance for the fallen in Durham Region Remembrance Day ceremonies across Durham Region hold a special significance this year, being held just weeks after the murders of two Canadian military personnel on home soil. The murder of Corporal Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial in Ottawa and of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent in Quebec, have awakened in Canadians a renewed and profound respect for the men and women who serve our nation with courage, honour and pride. As dignitaries, citizens and military per- sonnel gather at cenotaphs in communi- ties across Durham next Tuesday to lay wreaths and offer silent prayers for those who sacrificed on behalf of a proud nation, they’ll do so with the memories of Cpl. Cirillo and W.O. Vincent foremost in their minds. Their deaths are tragic, to be sure, made more so by the manner in which they were killed: ambushed by cowards motivated by their own self-loathing and hatred of what Canada represents and holds dear. Sadly this is the cost of the freedoms Canadians enjoy and generally take for granted, even as people like Cpl. Cirillo and W.O. Vincent stand on guard for thee. The lessons of the past week demon- strate, in stark terms, that Canada is not immune to homegrown attacks, whether committed by those motivated by religious fervour and fundamentalism, or individu- als in the grip of mental illness. But we owe it the memories of Cpl. Cirillo and W.O. Vincent -- and to the thousands who met their fate in two world wars and other mil- itary conflicts -- to confront terror, fight it wherever it exists, and reaffirm our nation- al commitment to preserve our way of life. Here at home, Durham residents have dutifully turned out on highway overpasses in recent years to honour those heroes who gave their lives in Afghanistan. What began as spontaneous shows of support among citizens led to the creation of the Highway of Heroes, a route that permitted their sac- rifice and our admiration to intersect. The most recent was that of Cpl. Cirillo, whose remains were carried from Ottawa to Ham- ilton where he was laid to rest last week. Wear the poppy on your lapel proudly in the coming days. Keep a warm thought for Cpl. Cirillo, W.O. Vincent and all the other Canadians who gave the final sacrifice. Remember them. Honour their memory. Canada is proud. Canada is strong. Let us both celebrate and remain on guard our freedoms. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 6 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP SAMKO & MIKOTOYWAREHOUSE 1000’S OF BRAND NAME TOYSLOWEST PRICES IN CANADA NOW TILL Dec 21, 20142 Locations To ronto 77 Fima Cres.

The primary focus of this study is to confirm the rehabilitation needs of the corridor. In parallel, the Study Team has confirmed the long-term capacity and operational needs so that rehabilitation investments can be made with an understanding of the long-term vision for the corridor. The long-term vision for the corridor includes the extension of the 12-lane core-collector system from Brock Road to the Highway 407 West Durham Link and widening of Highway 401 to 10 lanes easterly from the Highway 407 West Durham Link to Courtice Road. In addition, modifications to each of the interchanges along this section of the highway are required to accommodate the proposed widening and provide adequate traffic operations. The section of Highway 401 between Salem Road and Brock Street was reviewed as part of a separate study (W.O. 09-20009) that considered the capacity, operational and safety needs of that section of Highway 401. The study also included the integration of the planned improvements for the Highway 407 West Durham Link connection to Highway 401 and a new Lakeridge Road interchange. The recommended plan for this study (G.W.P. 10-20011) incorporates the recommendations from the Salem Road and Brock Street study. THE PROCESS This study is following the approved planning process for a Group ‘B’ project under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). The first Public Information Centre (PIC #1) was held in March 2013 to provide the public with the opportunity to discuss the project and comment on the alternatives being considered. The second Public Information Centre (PIC #2) has now been arranged to provide the public with the opportunity to view and provide comments on the rehabilitation recommendations and the recommended plan for the long-term vision of this section of Highway 401. Following PIC #2, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared and made available for public and agency review for 30 days.

Artifacts donated to Pickering museum PICKERING -- World War animators Blair Edmonds and Brennan Julius took an interest in an artifact being donated by Joe Pegg to the Pickering Museum Village. The First World War artifacts belonged to Milton Pegg, his father, who served during wartime. Jason Liebregts / Metroland 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.

She says in 2013, the Pickering fire depart- ment responded to 180 CO-related calls, and so far this year, up until Oct. 30, it has responded to 126 calls. CO is produced when fuels such as pro- pane, gasoline, natural gas, heating oil or wood do not burn completely in fuel-burn- ing appliances and devices such as furnac- es, gas or wood fireplaces, hot water heat- ers, stoves, barbecues, portable fuel-burn- ing heaters, generators and vehicles. “It’s very important they become aware of all the sources of it in their home,” says Ms. Ineson. “Most houses in Ontario have four to six (appliances or devices) in their home that contain carbon monoxide.” Ms. Ineson says residents should make sure all fuel-burning appliances are inspected regularly by a registered contrac- tor. “They should be inspected once a year and maintained as required,” she says. Ms. Ineson finds there’s a misconception that a CO alarm should be in the basement since a lot of sources are located there, but it should be upstairs outside the sleeping area since CO will put people into a deep sleep. “We’re finding a lot of people do have them; they’re just improperly located,” she says. Residents should also check that all out- side appliance vents are not blocked. And residents should never use a portable fuel- burning appliance inside, such as barbe- cues, portable heaters and generators. Residents should make sure to have a bat- tery backup available in case of power out- ages. For more CO safety tips, visit ontario. ca/firemarshal and visit COsafety.ca to find registered contractors. Fast facts Know the symptoms of CO: • Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symp- toms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, as well as confusion, drowsiness, loss of consciousness and death. • If your CO alarm sounds, and you or other occupants suffer from symptoms of CO poisoning, get everyone out of the home immediately. Then call 911 or your local emergency services number from outside the building. • If your CO alarm sounds, and no one is suffering from symptoms of CO poison- ing, check to see if the battery needs replac- ing, or the alarm has reached its “end-of-life” before calling 911.

The event, benefiting Feed the Need in Durham, will be held Friday, Nov. 7 at the Trinity Pentecostal Church, 900 King St. E., Oshawa, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 and attendees will be able to taste soups and sweets from local chefs. Organizers describe the meal as “mea- gre” because the value is the knowledge that many local people have little to eat. Feed the Need distributes more than 250,000 pounds of food each month to local food banks, soup kitchens and other programs. The Durham Potters Guild has donat- ed about 60 locally made bowls which will be auctioned off with all proceeds benefitting Feed the Need. Deanna Jones is a member of the Dur- ham Potters Guild and her creations will be among the bowls available through the silent auction, where bids will start at $30. “They’re all handmade, so everybody’s a bit different in their throwing tech- niques and decorating and glazes so it’s going to be quite a variety of shapes and sizes,” she said. Ms. Jones lives in Greenwood in Pickering but said her fellow potters are from across the region. They’re following in the footsteps of a similar fundraiser held through the Gar- diner Museum in Toronto. She said the group is excited about supporting Feed the Need, an organi- zation that feeds thousands of Durham residents. “It just struck a chord because it’s local and we just wanted to help out and we enjoy making bowls.” For tickets, call Feed the Need at 905- 571-3863.

Living with arthritis pain can affect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life – time with grandkids, playing golf, even working in the yard. It would be nice to get out of bed – just one morning – without pain. Every time you try and push through the pain…like standing or walking for a long period of time…you pay for it for the next 2-3 days with even more pain. Do you have any of the these Arthritic problems? ✓Osteoarthritis ✓Rheumatoid arthritis ✓Bursitis/tendonitis ✓Degenerative joint disease ✓Lumbar disc problems ✓Aching pain in the arms or legs Pain Pills Are Not The Answer Do you remember the Vioxx scandal? It was a medication designed to relieve arthritis pain…but like all drugs, it had side effects. After years of use worldwide, the makers withdrew it from the market because of the overwhelming evidence it caused heart attacks and strokes. There’s a time to use pain medications, BUT not before seeking a natural way to correct the CAUSE of the problem! Ask yourself … after taking all these pain medications…maybe for years…are you any better off? Pain Is Not Just ‘Old Age’ Have you had one doctor after another telling you this is just the natural process of the body getting older - that you should expect to have arthritis. Sure, if you don’t take care of your damaged joints now, as you get older they will be worse (which is why you shouldn’t wait any longer to see if I can help you.) However, old age is not the cause of your arthritis. I’ll venture to say all 360 joints in your body are the same age, yet arthritis and joint degeneration has not affected every one of them – only your previously injured joints that never healed properly. My name is Dr. Clay Kosinko, owner of Health First Family Chiropractic. Over the years, I’ve seen hundreds of people come in suffering with arthritis and leave the office pain free. I’ve made it my mission in practice to help those suffering with chronic pain like you. “I only wished I had found you sooner” I hear this too often, so I decided to do something about it and run this ad. Be one of the first 20 people to make an appointment. Just call before November 21st, 2014 and you’ll get my “Arthritis Evaluation” for only $35. • An in-depth consultation about your arthritis where I will listen…really listen. • A complete nerve, muscle and spinal exam to find the “cause” of your problem. • A full set of specialized x-rays to look for joint degeneration (arthritis)… • A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so I can show you how to fix the problem. I’ll answer all your questions about chiropractic and arthritis pain. The appointment will not take long at all and you won’t be sitting in a waiting room all day either. Again, be one of the first 20 callers to take me up on this special offer, you must call before November 21st, 2014. Call today…Phone 289-275-2444 Read what these chiropractic patients are saying: “I could not walk, run, exercise or even go up/down stairs without pain. Even sleep was painful. After receiving chiropractic care, I feel wonderful. I ran up stairs for the first time in years. I now walk in a mall without pain and I’m back to enjoying driving my jeep because it’s no longer painful to shift gears.”– Pamela K., Ajax Before chiropractic treatments I suffered from severe low back pain. I couldn’t walk for ten minutes without having to stop lean on something. I wish I knew about chiropractic sooner. -Abel. E.- Pickering “Before Chiropractic I could not walk far before I would get tingling in my legs and my back would hurt. Now my back is moving better and I can walk without any problems.” - Linda F., Pickering In addition to that, here’s what some of the top medical researchers had to say about chiropractic… “Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments], with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.”–British Medical Journal “Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets, and ultrasound.” --Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery Feel the Improvement – and Say “Yes” to Life Again With my “Arthritis Evaluation”, we can seek the problem and then plan to correct it. Think of how you could feel in just a few short weeks. Start your body on the way to pain-free, normal living. Feel tight joints rest, relax, free up. Feel muscles tied in knots become more supple. Feel strength in your muscles increase. As you begin to see motion returning to your joints, you’re preventing and reducing chances of disability and a crippling future. You’re playing with the children again, cooking your favorite foods, better golf games…without pain. Arthritis can be successfully treated. Healthy,pain-free living should be yours. Call anytime between the hours Mon/Wed from 9-7, Tues/Thurs from 2-6, Fri from 9-1. Tell the Nancy you’d like to come in for the Special Arthritis Evaluation before November 21st, 2014. We can get started with your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening in the schedule. Our office is called Health First Family Chiropractic and you can find us at 335 Bayly St. West Suite 206 Ajax. I look forward to helping you get rid of your pain so you can start living a healthier, more joyful life. In Good Health, Dr. Clay Kosinko, D.C. P.S.Life’s too short to live in pain like this. Don’t live another day like this. Call and schedule for your evaluation. 289-275-2444. Are you suffering from arthritis pain?If so, relief may be easier than you think. “I have seen with my own eyes how patients with arthritis, crippled for years, have walked out of my office with more spring in their step, better strength and less pain!” – says Clay Kosinko, D.C reporting at his clinic in Ajax. “Finally Free from Arthritis Pain WithoutDrugs and Harmful Side Effects” ADVERTISING FEATURE To hear more testimonials check out our Google reviews du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 6 , 2 0 1 4 11 AP Apply to be a Member of the Durham Environmental Advisory Committee or the Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee The Region of Durham is seeking individuals who are interested in volunteering on either the Durham Environmental Advisory Committee (DEAC) or the Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee (DAAC).

The new rule took effect Oct. 15. Devices to detect the deadly gas will now be required near all sleeping areas of residential homes, plus in the service rooms and adjacent sleeping areas in multi-residential units. The only exception are a small minority of homes that have both no fuel-burning appliances, such as furnaces, stoves or ﬁ replaces, and no attached garage. Fire departments will enforce the new law during home inspections, just like they do for required smoke alarms. Inspectors can give a $235 ticket or lay charges with possible ﬁ nes up to $50,000 for individuals and $100,000 for companies. The new alarm law comes after Queen’s Park passed a bill last December to update Ontario’s Fire Code. The bill was proposed by Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman. The change was based on recommendations from an advisory committee that was led by the Ofﬁ ce of the Fire Marshall and Emergency Management and included experts from ﬁ re services, the hotel and rental housing industries, condo owners and alarm manufacturers. “We want Ontarians to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning because these tragedies are preventable, “ said Yasir Naqvi, the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, in a press release. Quick Facts • More than 50 people die each year from carbon monoxide poisoning in Canada, including 11 on average in Ontario. • Bill 77, an Act to Proclaim Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week and to amend the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997, received royal assent in December 2013. • The Ontario Building Code requires the installation of carbon monoxide alarms in homes and other residential buildings built after 2001. The ﬁ rst Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week will take place November 1-8, 2014. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 6 , 2 0 1 4 13 AP Hours:Mon. - Thurs. 9am to 8pm Friday 9am to 7pm Saturday 10am to 5pm Closed Sunday & Holidays 780 Kingston Rd.

Do you like to be away from everything like that at times Edna, hunting and fishing. O.K. we will go together eh?” -- Herman ‘Hank’ Camirand, April 17, 1945. Hank Camirand served with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada in the Second World War in Holland and in Germany. A resident of Sault Ste. Marie, Hank died on Jan. 7, 2011, age 91. His son, Albert Camirand of Ajax, notes Hank resided in the Sault and area all his life and lived to hunt and fish. “That’s all he did,” Albert says. “Once he retired he never looked back. He just went up to the hunting camp.” His great-grandson, William Hank Alan Byrum, 4, of Pickering, was given one of his middle names after him. Hank was writing letters to the woman who would become his wife, Edna Alder- dice of Kingston, while he was overseas. Albert notes that his brother, Jim Cami- rand, an Ottawa resident retired after 32 years with the RCMP, is the military histo- rian in the family. Jim says his dad arrived in England on New Year’s Day, 1945 and around a month later was on the continent. Hank signed up in 1941 and was mainly a signaller, Jim notes, communicating with ships using lights and flags. But Hank was a part of several units, including the Hali- fax Rifles and the New Brunswick Rangers. “They were basically used as home defence,” Jim says, adding many units were on hold for future deployments. Hank didn’t become an Argyll until he arrived in Europe, operating a Bren Gun Cannon on an armoured vehicle. In this letter, Hank tells Edna how grate- ful he is for the parcel she sent him con- taining essential items, such as shaving soap, that were hard to come by. April 17, 1945 Dear Edna - Hi kid, here is that pest again. And how are you now? Hope you are as well as I am but in little happier spirits. I am afraid to look at the papers in case the war will be over and I’ll be stuck here in Blighty. Well Edna, I received your parcel to-day and I just don’t know how to thank you honestly. Gee it was all swell and after hav- ing to buy, beg, borrow or steal some shav- ing soap for about a week in turns up your parcel, but honestly, everything in it was great honey, but you know I think we are falling away behind times here, because none of us knew one of the new songs in the song book. I guess it’s about time we got back home eh? And again I’m getting to be an old man (oh my back). I suppose you are recuperating from your trip now eh. I am anxious to hear about it. Gee Edna you should not spend so much dough on the likes of me, you seem to know everything a feller over here likes. But I real- ly appreciate it (and my many friends too) and thanks a million kid. Gee Edna it is nice over here now (I mean the weather) we are starting to try and get sun tanned now. God I’d like to be up in the bush at home in a camp, and fishing now. Do you like to be away from everything like that at times Edna, hunting and fishing. O.K. we will go together eh? How are your folks Edna, I hope they are fine and that you are not teasing them too much. I am writing this in the wireless room so if you see a bunch of sparks fly out of it don’t blame me. Well honey thanks again for your wonderful parcel and hop- ing to see you not too long from now. I’ll say so long for now, write soon. All my Love Hank Post-marked May 15, 1945, a week after Germany’s unconditional surrender, Hank apologizes for not writing in a while since “I have been really on the go since I left England but thank God it is all over now.” Dear Edna Hi honey. I guess you think that old Jerry got the Frenchman, but I fooled them and kept my big ears hid and so they did not spot me. But anyway how are you Edna, hope you are fine and dandy but not having too many scares with those mice around the (stores? stoves?). I think I know now what you mean when you are real frightened. I am awful sorry Edna I could not write before but honestly my conscience are pret- ty clear because I have been really on the go since I left England but thank God it is all over now, so tell your Ma to get some prac- tice at playing cards because I’m going to give her a beating at them. But gee Edna I hope you are fine and everything is fine with you and I feel pretty happy about it all. Remember what I said about the books eh. Well I really believe in them now. Did you have a big celebra- tion on victory day. Myself I did not have a chance to but I guess that can wait until we get back. Oh yes honey I guess I’ll be seeing those places I wanted because we are get- ting ready to go on a good trip. Oh say Edna the last mail I received was a letter with those pictures in them and they were really swell. And damn it all those pictures we took in Scotland I had to leave behind. We are staying with civil- ian people here and it is a pretty good go of it. Did (indecipherable) go overseas Edna and how are they all. I have not heard from them for quite awhile. Well honey I will write again soon so good by for now. As always All my Love Hank AJAX -- Albert Camirand and his grandson, William Hank Alan Byrom, 2, with photos and letters from Albert’s father, Herman ‘Hank’ Camirand, to his mother during the Second World War.

This is a wonderful opportunity to recog- nize some of the movers and shakers who are making a difference in our community. DATCA celebrates the importance of cre- ativity, innovation and collaboration in Durham Region, and focuses on the many successes of our local economy. And celebrate we shall. This year’s DATCA event will take place on Nov. 27 at the Heydenshore Pavilion in Whitby, and will be presented by Durham Tourism, in partnership with Spark Centre. Space is limited, so be sure to visit artoftransition. ca for more details. This year we have a record number of categories to honour, which allows us to recognize new and exciting areas of arts and culture. Categories include: theatre, media arts, culinary/artisanal, music, lit- erary, philanthropy, visual arts, festivals and events, cultural champion in business, lifetime achievement, and lifetime innova- tor. Each award will recognize individuals and groups for the work they do to benefit Durham’s economy and promote tourism, while inspiring and educating the com- munity. Nominations will close on Nov. 7 at noon and our panel of independent judges will have some tough decisions to make. Regardless of the outcome, the cali- bre of nominees truly reflect how sophis- ticated our creative culture is in Durham Region, and it’s going to be a celebration to remember. I am so passionate about the Art of Tran- sition, because it brings inspired people together. It’s a way to connect innova- tive thinkers and help them brainstorm new ideas, foster partnerships and create new opportunities for enriching Durham Region’s vibrant, creative economy. The Art of Transition shines light on those who work hard to make our community a better place, through their love for arts and cul- ture. Were you there when it all began? The first Art of Transition event, held in 2009, was a symposium featuring keynote speak- er Dr. Richard Florida. His talk explored how Durham Region can achieve long- term economic prosperity by embracing and engaging the creative class, and has since sparked a continued increase of pub- lic engagement throughout our communi- ties. Durham Tourism will also be making a special announcement during this year’s event. Stay tuned for more about the Dur- ham Festival -- a celebration of creativity and culture in Durham Region -- which will run from Aug. 13 to 16, 2015. Connect with us at www.facebook.com/ artoftransition or on Twitter at @artoftran- sition for the latest news and updates. See you at the DATCAs.

The not-for-profit agency, which has provided services to local indi- viduals and families dealing with mental health concerns since 1987, recently launched a new look, along with a revamped website and Face- book page. “It was really to refresh so we could reach out to as many individuals as possible,” said Rob Adams, execu- tive director of DMHS. The changes, which include enhancements to meet require- ments of the Accessibility for Ontar- ians with Disabilities Act, were made with the help of a grant from the Central East Local Health Inte- gration Network. “We hear continually how indi- viduals don’t know what services exist and don’t know how to access service and I think there’s a belief that many individuals with mental health and even seniors aren’t tech savvy,” said Mr. Adams. “I think the opposite. I think that there are many that are, and we’re seeing more and more individuals utilizing technology so it’s just a way to broaden our access for individu- als that need service immediately.” DMHS began operating in 1987 when a coalition of parishioners at Whitby All Saints Anglican Church recognized that individuals in the community, suffering from severe mental health issues, were in des- perate need of safe, affordable hous- ing. Thousands of people access ser- vices through the agency every year, including immediate crisis support, longer-term supportive housing, case management, mental health court support, and specialized ser- vices for families. “We need to be in someone’s mind when they’re looking for ser- vice,” said Mr. Adams on why the rebranding was launched. “Someone that’s looking for men- tal health services -- it’s not an everyday thing -- but when people are looking for it, for them- selves or when a family member or friend has an issue, they need to know exactly where to go.” The organization is constantly striving to improve access to services for its clients. Earlier this year, DMHS approached the Town of Whitby to acquire a provincially owned building at 400 Centre St. S. in order to turn it into a community hub for providing services to people with mental health issues. Built in the early 1870s, the downtown proper- ty was once used as a mental health centre but has sat vacant for several years, according to Mr. Adams, prompting the agency to inquire about its purchase in 2011.

The 2014 list sees Trent, which has a cam- pus in Oshawa, named No. 1 in Ontario and No. 6 in Canada in the primarily undergradu- ate category. Trent University was also ranked tops in its category for scholarships and bursaries in Canada, and is among the top five primarily undergraduate schools for student services, medical and science grants, total research dollars, awards per full-time faculty, social sciences and humanities grants and student awards. “In our 50th anniversary year, I am pleased that Trent University continues to be recog- nized for the exceptional learning environ- ment we provide for students,” said Dr. Leo Groarke, Trent’s president and vice-chancel- lor. “In addition to our No. 1 provincial ranking, the rankings demonstrate our strength in stu- dent services, research grants and financial support for students.” UOIT, in Oshawa, was ranked No. 13 in Canada in the primarily undergraduate category, which is up from 15th place last year. The Maclean’s magazine rankings place schools into one of three categories: pri - marily undergraduate, medical doctoral and comprehensive. Trent University lands high score in annual rankings (NC) Losing weight is the most common resolution for Canadi- ans year after year – and many of us believe that omitting sugar will be the silver bullet for trimming the pounds. The truth, how- ever, may surprise you. Here are three things to know about this sweet ingredient, according to registered dietitian, Lisa Rutledge of DebunkingDietitian.ca: Truth: Sugar is not another word for obesity As most health professionals point out, if sugar is consumed in moderation, there is nothing bad about it. It is not the sole cause of obesity, which is a complex disease with many factors. Weight gain, in the vast majority of cases, is a result of an imbal- ance between energy intake from all foods and beverages, and energy output from physical activity. Truth: All sugars are equal Just as completely cutting sugar out of the diet is not a useful tactic, considering one form of sugar as better than the rest is not scientifically substantiated either. No matter what type of sugar you consume, there is no evidence that humans store those calories differently. Nor is there evidence that added sugars are stored differently than naturally-occurring sugars. Truth: Sugar is part of a balanced diet Sugar can be part of a balanced diet, as it’s a source of energy for the brain and working muscles. Also, allowing yourself to have your favourites from time to time can actually help you stay on track with your diet. For that reason, Rutledge often recom- mends her clients enjoy their favourites, like chocolate or soda pop, in moderation.

Remembrance Day Pick a poppy in Pickering PICKERING -- Residents can find poppies at all Pickering City facili- ties and throughout stores in Pickering now that the annu- al Royal Canadian Legion poppy campaign has begun. Pickering’s poppy cam- paign kicked off Oct. 30 with an official flagraising presentation at City Hall. The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 606, Bay Ridges, presented the flag and pinned each dignitary with a poppy just prior to raising the flag. Remembrance Day services will be held on Sunday, Nov. 9 and Tues- day, Nov. 11 at 10:45 a.m. at the City Hall cenotaph, in the courtyard at One The Espla- nade. The flag will be on dis- play until Nov. 12 at city hall.

Folk, hand-wringing over recent low turn- outs at municipal elections, are missing the point. Interchangeable old white patriarchs and the associated patronage can have the physical world with its arbitrary bor- ders because the future of power, just like everything else, is online. Online the for- merly powerless are building new power structures, new industries, new classrooms and new tribes. Online, old white men are viewed as at best Grampa Simpson, at worst Mr. Burns. Social media is also enabling the redefi- nition of family with its inherent patriar- chy. Traditional family has failed in many cases to protect its charges. Abused troubled youth are ostracized and abandoned, flock- ing together in makeshift kinships. The dan- gers are many. The stronger among them make their way to The Refuge near down- town Oshawa. This place at 300 Court St. becomes home. “We are a tight-knit community that many call family,” says Genevieve Brydson, direc- tor of development. “When a youth says, ‘I actually feel wanted for once’, or ‘I feel accepted’, or ‘I feel loved unconditionally’, then that is success.” The Refuge is a daily drop-in program for homeless and street-involved youth under 24. Last year it helped more than 470 young people. More than 90 per cent had been emotionally, physically and sexually abused, many at the hands of their old fam- ily. The Refuge provides them with meals, showers, laundry and the opportunity to connect with their creative self. Brydson says the young arrive at their door for their own reasons but their decision to go to The Refuge is a first step to gaining control of their lives. It’s a difficult first step to take. Just getting up and dressed is suc- cess for some. Choosing rehab for substance abuse, choosing to seek help with mental health issues is success for others. “Huge milestones such as graduating from high school, college or university, getting a full-time job and reuniting with family” are all steps to their success in overcoming their particular circumstances, she says. Being there is the success story of The Ref- uge and helping them continue can be your success story. On Nov. 15, The Refuge is holding a fund- raiser, Breathe, at Forest Brook Community Church and Gallery in Ajax. Theatre, dance, music (Susan Latimer among others), visual arts, poetry, film and creations of all kinds will be showcased and sold from 5 to 9 p.m. Monies raised will go towards meals for youth and other offerings. The event will include a talk by Dr. John Franklin on the arts and social justice. The message of social media may be social justice. We have all seen the videos of the homeless unexpectedly playing the piano like a maestro or singing like an angel. Social media is empowering the once powerless. In the digital realm we see their humanity. The differences between us are blurring. We are collectively seeking ways to be nice. Being nasty, being a bully, being an abuser is being rapidly called out. Albert Mueller’s blurry out-of-focus paint- ings are a perfect metaphor for this transi- tion from old power structures to new. Muel- ler is a Clarington artist who volunteers at The Refuge. His artwork will be on display and for sale at the Breathe fundraiser. “When I came to apply to volunteer I was expecting to serve in the kitchen,” says Mueller, who joined The Refuge in 2010. “Founder Dave Peppiat said no because he felt I had a specific skill set. He said that I was an artist and he just wanted me to draw with the youth. It took some time and most were too intimidated to draw. Then I began to bring some paints and small canvases in and they thought what I was doing looked like fun. I make art, hang out and connect.” Mueller connects the dashes and dots of the modern world in his art. He employs a method that is part Pointillism and part Pollack, building up layers of splashed and spotted paint, creating colour fields that behave as landscapes. Where once the future was straight lines, open roads and a known path to success, it is now only vague- ness. It is the blurry fields of Mueller that lie before us. Social media has enabled our individual voices. Online we can vote to move past our differences, past the petty power struggles, past the divide-and-conquer mentality and into the lightness of being with people who get us and on through the colourful fields of new connectivity that Mueller’s paintings illustrate. William McGuirk is a freelance writer and longtime Oshawa resident. He can be contacted at wmacg@yahoo.com.

The remount of the Vern Thiessen play is in support of the group’s VIMY Tour to Schools and The Vimy Foundation. “Vimy ... is touring Durham schools this fall as part of the company’s mandate to enrich lives in Durham through theatre, on and offstage,” states a press release. “Two benefit performances to the public (are being staged) to further offset tour costs and to maintain its commitment to financially accessible theatre. A portion of the proceeds will also support The Vimy Foundation, whose mission is to preserve and promote Canada’s First World War legacy as symbolized with the victory at Vimy Ridge in April 1917. “Inspired by real Canadians and draw- ing on factual events, Vimy explores how a nation’s defining moment is reflected in the lives, hopes and dreams of everyday people. Written in 2007, Vimy tells the story of four wounded soldiers recovering in a field hospital in the wake of the battle of Vimy Ridge.” The cast features Paul Chiusolo, Brennan Julius, Laura Laing, Rob Mur- phy, Graeme Powell and Sheldon Sue- paul. The performances are Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Scugog Memorial Pub- lic Library, 231 Water St., Port Perry, and Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Oshawa Public Libraries’ McLaughlin branch auditorium, 65 Bagot St., Oshawa.

Pickering goes stateside to snap streak Beat Buffalo Jr. Sabres 3-2 on Tuesday night PICKERING -- The Pickering Panthers snapped a three-game losing streak state- side on Tuesday night, beating the Buffa- lo Jr. Sabres 3-2 at the new Harbor Center arena. A pair of goals in the second period proved to be the difference for the Pan- thers. Nicholas Lepone opened the scor- ing for the Panthers in the first period, but Buffalo replied with a pair to lead 2-1 after 20 minutes, Lucas Condotta tied it in the second, and then Brandon Salerno potted his 12th goal of the season with under four minutes to go in the period to put the Pan- thers back on top. The third period was blanked as Pan- thers netminder Jordan Cartney stopped all nine shots fired at him by Buffalo, who finished the night with 27 all told, while the Panthers had 25 the other way. The win came on the heels of a cou- ple of weekend losses, 6-2 to Kingston on home ice Friday, and 2-1 at St. Michael’s on Sunday afternoon. Mark Tenuta and Kevin Dimagno had the goals in the loss to Kingston, with Dimagno picking up anoth- er at St. Michael’s. With a 9-7-1-3 record, the Panthers are in second place in the North Division of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, seven points back of frontrunners Aurora. The game in Buffalo was the second of five in a row away from home. The trip continues Saturday in Oakville and Sunday in Trenton. Durham West Jr. Lightning edged by Brampton AJAX -- After getting a healthy dose of competition south of the border in a Can- Am tournament in Michigan, the Dur- ham West Jr. Lightning returned to regu- lar season play on Sunday. Unfortunately things didn’t go their way. Despite holding a huge 37-15 edge in shots on goal, the Lightning came up a goal short in a 2-1 loss to Brampton in Provincial Women’s Hockey League play at the Ajax Community Centre. Maria Dominico tied the game 1-1 with a goal in the first period, but a power-play goal by Brampton just past the midway mark of the third period stood up as the winner. The Lightning had a couple of power-play chances of their own in the final five minutes but failed to capitalize, finishing the game 0-for-6 with the man advantage. After a slow start in Michigan, the Light- ning reeled off four wins in a row to close out play at the challenge between Ameri- can and Canadian teams from Oct. 24-26. The Lightning were blanked 3-0 by the Chicago Mission, but then beat the Niag- ara Jr. Purple Eagles 3-2 in overtime, the MN Revolution 2-1, Alaska All-Stars 5-0 and USA HCM 1-0. With a record of 8-2-2-0, the Light- ning sit tied for third with three other teams, seven points back of front-running Oakville, and three in arrears of second- place Whitby. They will get a chance to close that gap, hosting Whitby on Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and then Mississauga on Sunday after- noon at 2:30 p.m. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 6 , 2 0 1 4 27 AP OR CHOOSE GREAT CASH OFFERS $11,9994 CASH PURCHASE PRICE FROM $3,615INCLUDING IN CASH CREDIT 5 999 Rio4 SX with Navigation shown 6 Cash purchase price $22,514 hwy / city 100km 7: 5.3L/7.3L Offer includes delivery, destination, fees, a $3,600 cash credit and a $15 dealer contribution5.
