PICKERING -- Second World War veterans Patrick Tranquada, right, and Wilf Delory, left, saluted during Remembrance Day ser- vices at the Pickering cenotaph. Ryan Pfeiffer / City holds Remembrance Day ceremonies on two days Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Hundreds of people, includ- ing four generations of a local war veteran’s family, gathered at the Pickering City Hall cenotaph on Remembrance Day to hon- our people who lost or risked their lives to make Canada the country it is today. “I was very pleased to see the reception today,” said Patrick Tranquada, a Second World War veteran who served with the Royal Canadian Air Force. “The turnout was great.” Sandy MacDonald, third vice-president of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 606, was the master of ceremonies at the Nov. 11 event. A similar ceremony for those who wouldn’t be able to make it on Nov. 11 took place on Nov. 9. “This marks the centennial of the begin- ning of World War I,” said Mr. MacDonald. He noted it’s also the 75th anniversa- ry of the Second World War and the 70th anniversary of D-Day. He said more than 118,000 Canadians have lost their lives to war over the years. “We’re a small country and that’s a fair number of people we’ve lost,” said Mr. MacDonald. Both he and Mayor Dave Ryan, who also spoke at the ceremony, paid respect to Corporal Nathan Cirillo, who was shot and killed as he stood guarding the National War Memorial in Ottawa last month, and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who was killed in a hit-and-run also in October. “May they rest in peace,” said Mr. Mac- Donald. Mayor Ryan said marking Remembrance Day is not about glorifying war, but to acknowledge the sacrifices that have been made, and to honour the people who made them. “It fills my heart to see so many of you out today,” he said. During the moment of silence at the ceremony, Mr. Tranquada, who spent two-and-a-half years in Eng- land with the RCAF, thought of D-Day, and the friends he lost in the war. “I lost quite a few buddies over there,” the veteran recalled. His daughter, Pat Power, attended the ceremony with her son and grandchildren. “I’m really proud of my dad,” she said. The ceremony included live music, poems, a march by the colour guard and the placing of wreaths at the cenotaph. After the ceremony, a number of people, including young children, pinned their poppies to the wreaths.

Roger Schoer sparred throughout the day Monday with Crown attorney Mitch- ell Flagg, denying the prosecutor’s asser- tions that he was operating what amount- ed to a Ponzi scheme when he brokered numerous “off book” sales of shares in private companies. “That is not the case at all,” Mr. Scho- er said after Mr. Flagg accused him of accepting thousands of dollars from a cli- ent, then failing to deliver the shares as promised. He bristled when Mr. Flagg produced cheques from the investor that made their way into the bank account of a business associate from whom Mr. Schoer had bor- rowed $15,000. Mr. Flagg suggested Mr. Schoer took money intended for stock deals and used it to pay back the loan. “The reason you were doing that was to pay back money you owed,” he said. “No. No,” Mr. Schoer replied. “They were two separate issues.” Mr. Schoer has pleaded not guilty to fraud over $5,000, uttering a forged doc- ument and assault, charges laid in 2009 after an investigation by Durham police into complaints made by former clients. The Crown alleges Mr. Schoer encour- aged clients to pursue what he present- ed as potentially lucrative investments in companies that had not begun to be pub- licly traded. The Crown contends Mr. Schoer was actually running a Ponzi scheme, some- times using funds from new investors to pay off those who wanted to cash out. On some occasions cheques issued to jittery investors bounced, court has heard. It’s alleged he bilked clients of $650,000. During his cross-examination Monday Mr. Schoer depicted himself as a middle man who facilitated sales of penny stocks between investors who held them and clients who wanted in on the sometimes risky ventures. He said that in one instance, his efforts to broker such a deal went awry when the seller failed to transfer shares to a buyer who’d handed over thousands of dollars. “Countless times I told him to do (the transfer),” Mr. Schoer said of the seller. “He delayed.” The buyer successfully sued and in 2007 obtained a judgment against Mr. Schoer, who did not contest the small claims suit, court heard. Mr. Schoer said Monday he couldn’t afford to defend himself. Mr. Schoer’s evidence is scheduled to continue when court resumes Wednes- day. His trial began in the spring, and resumed Monday after a lengthy adjourn- ment. The trial is being heard in Superior Court by Justice Cory Gilmore.

VISITOURNEWWEBSITEATwww.funbuscanada.com Police Phoney cop busted OSHAWA -- Charges have been laid against an Oshawa man who was spot- ted wearing a police uniform he bought online. A sharp-eyed Durham officer -- the Bowmanville-based cop was travelling to the Oshawa courthouse -- questioned the man after noticing him at a bus stop near Wilson Road and Bond Street Mon- day morning, Sergeant Bill Calder said. Cops learned the man had obtained the Toronto police gear -- including a uniform shirt, duty belt and police memo book -- online. “We don’t know at this point in time what his motives were,” Sgt. Calder said. Aubrey Griffith, 51, of Rogers Street in Oshawa, is charged with impersonat- ing a police officer and possession of property obtained by crime. The latter charge refers to the note- book, which remains property of the Toronto police, Sgt. Calder said. He added a person doesn’t have to take action, such as initiating a traffic stop or trying to arrest someone, to be hit with a personation charge. All it requires is falsely portraying oneself as an officer. “The offence doesn’t say you have to gain an advantage,” Sgt. Calder said. Durham officers seized the uniform items, and informed Toronto police about the incident.

Only at � Police seek suspect who swiped cash from poppy box OSHAWA -- Police are trying to identify a suspect who stole the cash from a poppy box at an Oshawa sub shop Sunday. Although video of the incident exists, Durham police say they’re reluctant to release it as the suspect may be a youth. The Youth Criminal Justice Act prohibits publishing information that might iden- tify young offenders. Police say the incident occurred Nov. 9 at a Subway shop on Rossland Road East. The suspect, who was the only customer in the shop, waited for a worker to go into a back room, then grabbed the poppy box off the counter and hid it under his coat. The suspect went back to his table and emptied the cash from the box; he then exited, leaving the empty box at the table, police said. The suspect is a black male believed to be 16 to 20 years old, with a medium build and short black hair. He wore a bright red jacket and black jeans with a white belt. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 5100 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477. Senior beaten, robbed after coming to man’s aid in Durham OSHAWA -- A senior was beaten and robbed after coming to the aid of an intoxi- cated man early Saturday in Oshawa. Durham police are now trying to iden- tify a suspect in the incident, which began at about 1:45 a.m. Nov. 8 when the victim, 74, encountered a visibly intoxicated man outside a convenience store at Park Road South and Hillside Avenue. The suspect asked the victim for a light, then staggered into traffic, police said. The victim helped the suspect back to the side- walk and continued on his way. But when the drunken man fell down a stairwell, the senior returned, reach- ing down to offer assistance. It was then the suspect kicked him in the head and demanded his wallet, police said. The assault continued and the senior handed over his wallet. The suspect, described as a white man in his 20s who wore a red ball cap, dark pants and a dark coat, was last seen running north on Park Road. The victim was treated at hospital for minor injuries. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2739 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

As is her nature, she generously gifted each trick-or-treater with hand- fuls of candies. By 8:30 p.m. we ran out. We turned out the lights, locked the door and watched Pinoc- chio in the dark until one diligent youngster knocked repeatedly, rattled the door knob then scolded us with a nicely enunciated F-bomb. His tantrum took me back to a time in my life when swearing was taboo. As a child of the ’60s, I was raised in a home where swearing was unheard of. My siblings and I respected our elders. We did not talk back, we did not argue and we most certainly did not swear. Until the day I did swear. My first time was 38 years ago. I came home from school to an empty house and decided to make a sandwich. A quick search of the kitchen turned up no bread so I headed down to the freezer in the basement, where Mom stockpiled extra loaves she’d bought on sale. I shoved frozen hamburger and frosted cans of orange juice aside but quickly realized there was no bread left. And I really wanted a sand- wich. So I did the unthinkable; I dropped an F-bomb. Until that moment, I had never uttered a swear word. Hollering that banned word in the muted still of my cinderblock basement felt pretty good -- pretty liberating. Then, I noticed the fluorescent light above my head, blinking and twitching -- dark, light, dark, light -- and I knew I hadn’t turned that light on. Heat crawled up my back. Very slowly, I turned and peered over my shoulder. “Yes, I’m here,” Dad said, from the comfort of his Lazy Boy chair, where he had been reading a book. My face burned. “Oh. Sorry, Dad ... I’m sorry,” I muttered, before scrambling and tripping back up the stairs. I was 10 years old and in that instant, the bottom fell out of my world. To his credit, Dad never men- tioned it. He never gave me trouble. He didn’t need to and he knew it. I’m not 10 anymore but I still feel a remnant of the horror and mortification I felt that day because I respected my dad a lot and I respected the rules. Perhaps a few more rules for today’s kids wouldn’t hurt. To all of the children who thanked my daughter for the candy on Halloween, good for you. To the dis- appointed lad who didn’t get a few more chocolate bars, maybe try a little respect. It goes a long way. -- Megan Denby lives in Port Perry. Megan Denby Guest column Looking back Solicitude for the suffering To the editor: November is a month in which we’re called on to remember things, from the simple (turning our clocks back), to the sol- emn (the 110,000 servicemen and women who died defending our country in the wars of the past century). For Christians, November brings to remembrance another solemn concern: the persecuted church. It is estimated that this year, 200-300 million Christians have been denied work, freedom, property, even their lives, simply because they follow Jesus Christ. While other religions suffer persecution -- many at the hands of their co-religionists -- numerically, Christians of all denomina- tions around the world suffer most signifi- cantly (http://erlc.com/issues/quickfacts/ persecution/). ISIS is just the most spec- tacular practitioner of the ongoing impris- onments, rapes, and murders to which Christians are subjected. May we remember at this time of year these as well, not just in prayer but in our public welcome of refugees and in our encouragement of government policies that condemn such violence. Reverend Gordon L. Belyea Durham Catholic board fails community In the Durham Catholic school board chairman’s own words, a new school model being planned is “the most impactful strategic action the board has undertaken in our secondary schools in the last 20 years.” If so, one would think the families affected might have had some input, or at least been informed. The Durham Catholic District School Board unanimously voted Nov. 3 to create a new school model in Oshawa that will see students in grades 7 and 8 attending Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Second- ary School, a “creative solution” to address declining enrolment. Indeed, that can be construed as an “impactful strategic action” and represents a massive challenge for youngsters in the affected elementary school communities: John XXIII, Msgr. Philip Coffey, St. Hedwig and St. Thomas Aquinas. Given such an enormous adjustment, the DCDSB failed in its obligation to inform affected families -- education director Anne O’Brien confirmed that parents from the Pereyma family of feeder schools weren’t specifically consulted -- and made matters worse in its rush to approve the change at a specially convened board meeting. Mem- bers of the public affected by the decision received no notice, no information or doc- umentation, and the meeting’s agenda car- ried no reference to the new school model. Ms. O’Brien’s additional assertion that Pereyma feeder school community parents weren’t notified because of sensitive labour and real estate issues is utterly disappoint- ing. The director might as well have said they weren’t informed because of Ebola, for the all meaning that holds for affected fami- lies. The new school model may well be, as board chairman Chris Leahy gushed last week, an “amazing thing”, but that doesn’t address the lack of transparency that marked passage of such a landscape-alter- ing change. The new model holds promise, and could have been promoted entirely on its merits. Affected elementary school stu- dents will have access to more resources such as science labs and music rooms, will be exposed and transition to high school life more seamlessly, and begin the process of growing into young adults. Unfortunately, much of that is lost in the ham-fisted handling of the issue as it relates to directly affected families. A new board will have its inaugural meeting in Decem- ber. Here’s hoping it rejects the sort of gov- ernance that precludes public participation, and willingly sets aside its obligations to properly engage stakeholders. Gratitude for our blessings, reflected in the poppy I was running the dogs in a field a few days ago, the morning after our little dal- liance with an early winter snowfall or, as it’s known in medical parlance, ‘premature precipitation’. The day was cold and damp; grey and melancholic with that depressingly low cloud cover so typical of November. The ground was wet and muddy and although it didn’t slow the dogs down a whit, I found the going slow and treacherous. I was chilled and wet and my boots were dirty. I just wanted to get back to my fireplace. And then, right in the middle of that smug little notion, I thought about Remembrance Day. And hard on the heels of my petulant little inner dialogue of how cold I was and how dirty I was, came a whole whack of thoughts about things that I wasn’t. I wasn’t under shell fire. I wasn’t dressed in soaking wet wool or hopelessly thin cot- ton fatigues; my feet alternately rotting from trench-foot or freezing from expo- sure. I wasn’t desperately clinging to a mud- clogged rifle with fingers so frigidly useless I couldn’t pull the trigger if I had to. I wasn’t waist deep in snow or malarial ooze or shell- crater scum. I wasn’t surrounded by the dead and dying. I didn’t have to kill anoth- er person and no other person was trying to kill me. I wasn’t bleeding out. I wasn’t gasp- ing for air inside the oven of my tank tur- ret. I wasn’t terrified into incontinence. I wasn’t praying to God to put me anywhere but here. I wasn’t parachuting into a night sky teeming with white-hot flak and phos- phorous. I wasn’t a thousand miles from the people I love. I wasn’t so parched with terror and exhaustion that I couldn’t spit. I wasn’t witnessing things I could never for- get. I wasn’t a prisoner. I wasn’t tortured. I wasn’t enslaved. I was alive and free and whole with the very real and wonderful expectation of someday dying, not on a bloodied beach, or in some faraway jungle or strange, hostile land, but peacefully, in my own bed, sur- rounded by friends and family. I remember as a kid, for a long time, expe- riencing the very real fear that someday I would have to go to war. My grandfather had gone to war and many people of my parents’ generation too had gone to war. It seemed reasonable to assume then, that I too, would have some cataclysm visited on me. Some inescapable, black horror that would suck my young life into it and grind me down or destroy me entirely. At 54, I realize how incredibly lucky I have been. I have lived a life of safety, happiness, health and abundance. What is more, my own children have every reasonable expec- tation of finishing their days in peace as well. Given our species’ history, this is an amazing thought. But this remarkable good fortune is not the result of happenstance or good luck. It has been bought and paid for. The generations of men and women who have sacrificed their own safety, happiness, health and abundance in the global blast furnaces of two world wars and numerous other conflicts, were and are the currency exchanged for the blessed peace most of us now enjoy. Please think about that in the days ahead. Wear your poppy not because you think you have to, but because you are conscious and aware of the road others have traveled to get ourselves and our chil- dren to this beautiful, golden place. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 8 Ways to prepare your vehicle for winter Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Let’s Talk Weigh in on topics of the day www.facebook. com/newsdurham Poll YOUTH: Durham police charged a 13-year-old girl after a woman was pushed into oncoming traffic last week, prompting quite a discussion on Face- book.

A Tim Hortons gift card if you are the Featured Letter authorFeatured Letter Canadian money better spent on eradicating TB To the editor: It is interesting that Canada invested $30.5 million in Ebola preparation, most of this money to be spent within our own borders, despite there being only 9,936 deaths from Ebola worldwide, based on some reports, and none of those deaths in Canada. I appreciate that Canada is investing in health, but would like to recommend a better avenue. Tuberculosis is a much greater global threat than Ebola. It infects 9 million people a year, and kills 1.4 million annually. Of the 9 million people who become infected, about one- third of those people do not get diagnosed or treated. TB Reach uses innovation to provide more diagnosis, more treatment and more empowerment of local communities. They do this by providing seed funding to provide TB services using innovation -- mobile phones, decentralized mobile health care, and quicker diagnostics. I’m asking the Canadian government to re-invest in TB Reach by committing to $120 million over five years. As the only major donor to TB Reach, the world is looking to Canada to fill this need and continue its support until every case of TB worldwide has been identified, treated and cured. Christine Smith Hampton Brian Brooks: Blame it on the no-disciplining-of-the-kids act the government made illegal. Our gen- eration is smarter but then again we were all disciplined back then. Kids these days have no morals. Paul Blaby: Are you guys serious, that is not near enough info to form an opinion. It said they didn’t know each other and the 32 year old was pushing the kid as well; this sounds like an acci- dent that started with someone that should have minded their own business. Brooke Lowery: Even if my brother was being pushed by a grown per- son at age 15 he would know not to push someone into oncoming traffic. Age isn’t a factor in this. Kimberley McDonald: Nothing in this story makes sense. The woman was injured by a man driving a Honda who SLOWED (to watch) as the woman and teen were fighting, but he some- how managed to hit her, anyway? Now, that story would make sense if he saw nothing and was taken by surprise as a woman fell into the street. Larry Dickinson: There is clearly not enough information to make a reasonable decision on what was the cause of the push into traffic. It could have been accidental or it could have been inten- tional. I suspect the outcome of this case will be determined by witnesses. Ryan Syme: So if they were pushing each other then why wasn’t the adult charged? 1. Check antifreeze 2. Inspect your tires 3. Replace your wipers 4. Check windshield washer fluid 5.

According to the Durham Region health department’s 2014 Nutritious Food Basket report, the cost of a basic healthy diet in Durham has increased by 11 per cent from 2011. Last May, the health department imple- mented the provincially-mandated NFB protocol by surveying the cost of 67 food items in nine grocery stores throughout Durham. The report found it costs $182 per week or $789 per month to feed a family of four (two parents, a 14-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl) a basic healthy diet, based on recommendations in Canada’s Food Guide. According to Deborah Lay, a public health nutritionist with the health depart- ment, a healthy diet is essential for prop- er child growth and development, and in decreasing the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis. “For many families in Durham, after paying for shelter and other living expens- es, there isn’t enough money left over to afford a healthy diet,” she said. “Food inse- curity is a daily reality for these families.” When families worry that food will run out, and they have to compromise on the quality and/or quantity of food they eat, or they have to reduce their food intake alto- gether, they’re facing food insecurity. The report found almost eight per cent of area households experience some degree of food insecurity. Some will turn to food banks, such as St. Paul’s, which serves Ajax and Pickering. “The numbers have gone up and our donations have gone down,” says Ms. Jocz. Since 2011, the number of clients at the food bank has increased by 1,950. Up until the end of October, there have been 8,018 customers this year. With roughly 750 to 850 clients per month, that number is on its way to surpassing 2013’s number of 8,501. “If I do a month-by-month comparison we’re up by 10 per cent,” said Ms. Jocz. She finds even when she has to take donor funds to purchase groceries for the food bank, she’s getting less and less for the money. This means there are fewer people donating, more using the food bank and the bank is able to purchase less food. “This year we have spent an addition- al $6,000 over our average yearly costs to shore up our shelves,” said Ms. Jocz. Statistics shows that in Durham, a family of four earning $7,317 per month spends 11 per cent of their income to purchase food. For a family of four on social assis- tance, such as Ontario Works, the percent- age of income spent on food spikes to 37 per cent. When rent is included, a family on Ontario Works is spending 92 per cent of their income on food and shelter, leav- ing little money for anything else. The Ontario Society of Nutrition Profes- sionals in Public Health and the Ontario Public Health Association recommend some solutions for this problem, includ- ing: legislation for subsidies and tax incentives to support the agri-food sector; and for the short-term, implementing a $100-per-month healthy food supplement for social assistance recipients. Although the Thanksgiving food drive was a success, St. Paul’s is relying on a good haul of donations leading up to Christmas. “Christmas will be that which sustains us for the long period,” Ms. Jocz said.

The high price of food PICKERING -- A team of volunteers at the St. Paul’s On The Hill Community Food Bank hauled and filled boxes of food for pickup. The Durham Region Health Department’s 2014 Nutritious Food Basket report revealed the cost of a basic healthy diet in Durham has increased by 11 per cent from 2011. St. Paul’s has seen a continous increase in clients and a drop in donations.

AJAX NISSAN 500 BAYLY STREET WEST,AJAX TEL: (905) 686-0555 Fairview Lodge Donations to Whitby fire victims no longer needed DURHAM -- Donations are no longer needed for victims of the fire at Fair- view Lodge. Due to overwhelming response by the community, clothes, personal items and monetary and gift card donations for the seniors displaced from their home are no longer required. Donations were accepted to help residents with personal care needs and social activities. Gift cards and money were used to buy specific resident requests. Family members are asked to let staff know of individual resident’s needs by calling 905-579-3313, or e-mailing FairviewFamilyInquiry@dur- ham.ca. The blaze on Monday, Oct. 27 destroyed a wing of the facility and left the remainder of the building inhabit- able due to smoke damage. Residents have been placed in seniors’ homes and hospitals until a new Fairview Lodge, now under con- struction, is open early next year. 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 1 2 , 2 0 1 4 12 P Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Panthers have a Coffey behind the bench Four-time Stanley Cup champion is officially GM/head coach Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- After a couple of trying weeks, the Pickering Panthers have some stability. In the matter of a couple of weeks, the Ontario Junior Hockey League club released its GM/head coach Mike Galati on Oct. 24, temporarily replaced him with Matt Muir, and then moved NHL Hall of Fame defenceman Paul Coffey into the dual role. So far, the transition hasn’t been produc- tive in the win/loss column, as the Pan- thers have just one win in six outings since Galati was fired, including 5-2 and 12-1 weekend losses in Oakville and Trenton respectively over the weekend. But Coffey, a four-time Stanley Cup champion and three-time Norris trophy winner as the NHL’s best defenceman, has been encouraged by what he has seen since being at the helm. “To me, it’s not all about wins and loss- es. It’s about getting the kids confident and getting them all playing and devel- oping them all,” he said. “In the couple of weeks we’ve been involved here it’s been a tough schedule. We’ve played some games I thought we could have won but didn’t do it in the end. “My biggest thing is making everyone better.” Coffey has previous coaching experience in the GTHL, and his son, Blake, a rookie defenceman, is a member of the Panthers. Coffey’s vision is to make the Panthers a preferred destination for local players. The coaching part, well, he’d prefer to keep his role low key. “Everyone makes coaching over-rated,” he said. “Coaching is getting your kids to play for you. I think anybody that talks about what makes a good coach, there’s only one thing that makes a good coach and that’s good players. If you have a good group of kids that are willing to go to the wall for you and develop, everything else will be fine.” Panthers owner Steve Tuchner, who shares a friendships with Coffey, is happy to have things finally settled. “I can’t think of a better guy to be in charge,” he said, adding the move is an attempt to get the organization to the next level. “That level might require some short- term pain and some backing up before it goes forward.” Since purchasing the team in 2012, Tuch- ner remains baffled as to why some local players choose to go elsewhere to play. It’s something he wants to rectify. “What matters to me is we have a pro- gram that Pickering kids want to play at and we develop kids. That’s what I’m going to have. “When I see other teams in this league that have kids from Pickering playing on them ... it makes me crazy. This has to be a place where Pickering kids, and there’s lots of great minor hockey kids who’ve played for Pickering, want to come and play.” In Coffey’s short spin around the league, he concurs. “My vision for the team is to make Pickering a place the players want to play. You look in the OJHL, there are a lot of Pickering players that are playing some- where else. Why that is, I don’t know.” Currently, the Panthers have four play- ers from Pickering, eight from the Durham Region all told, on the roster. Coffey has rounded out his bench staff with the additions of CJ Bollers and Pat Pare as assistant coaches. As for his tenure, neither Coffey nor Tuchner would commit to how long he would be in charge of the hockey opera- tions, only saying when the job is com- plete. “When he’s finished getting it organized the way he needs it to look, then it should be able to run on auto pilot,” said Tuchner. “The major re-organizing needs to be done by him. When he goes, whenever that is, it might be a week, it might be a year, three years, but when he leaves it will be orga- nized so that it stands for exactly what we want it to stand for, which is for Pickering people and for Pickering kids to play.” The Panthers take a 9-9-1-3 record into Newmarket on Thursday, which ends a string of five games in a row on the road. Friday they host Buffalo at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex. PICKERING -- Cam Palmer of the Pickering Panthers had a goal in a 5-2 weekend loss in Oakville. Andy Corneau / OJHL Images Basketball St. Mary, Dunbarton seeking LOSSA basketball titles OSHAWA -- Pickering will have two cracks at LOSSA glory, while St. Mary and Dun- barton will be looking to derail those plans. The Quad-A senior and junior girls’ basketball championship finals will be played at the Durham College gymnasium tonight, with Pickering facing Dunbarton in the senior tilt at 7:15 p.m., preceded by the junior game between Pickering and St. Mary at 5:30 p.m. The Pickering seniors, ranked No. 1 in the GTA by the website hooptowngta, cruised through the regular season at 9-0, including a 51-44 victory over Dunbarton back on Sept. 29. Dunbarton enters the game seeded seventh in the GTA. In the LOSSA semifinals, Pickering won handily 43-18 over J. Clarke, while Dunbarton got past Notre Dame 41-31. In the junior game, St. Mary will enter as the favourite after a 9-0 regular season, which included a convincing 51-26 win over Pickering on Oct. 27. In the semifi- nals, St. Mary beat J. Clarke Richardson 43-37. Pickering finished league play with a 7-2 record. In the quarter-finals it crushed All Saints 58-26, then slipped past Notre Dame 45-39 in the semifinals. Basketball Pushing for Power event at Pine Ridge to raise awareness for people with disabilities PICKERING -- An event to raise aware- ness for the Canadian Abilities Founda- tion’s It’s Time campaign, called Pushing for Power, a charity basketball tournament, will be held at Pine Ridge Secondary School Sunday, Nov. 16. The event, which will feature basket- ball, raffle prizes, food and lots of fun will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Canadian Abilities Foundation is a Canadian registered charity that envi- sions an inclusive, universally accessible society, where all people belong and are valued. Often times, employers hire per- sons with disabilities with the expectation that they will fulfill low-priority jobs with minimal responsibilities. Employers don’t want to challenge people with a disability, which results in them never being pushed to reach their full potential. The It’s Time campaign raises aware- ness for Dec. 3, 2014, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, and enhances the notion that it is time to recognize the power of a disability. 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 1 2 , 2 0 1 4 13 AP Dealer Training The Great Blue Heron Charity Casino is offering for the ﬁ rst time a 5 week training program on Blackjack, BJ Switch, Spanish 21, 3 & 4 Card Poker, Let it Ride, Texas Bonus Poker and Mississippi Stud.
