Christmas drive underway; 600 families expected to ask for aid Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Once again, the Ajax-Pickering Salva- tion Army is appealing to the public to help make Christmas merry for some local families. The Salvation Army has begun its fundraising kettle campaign and the toy and food drives are underway, according to Captain Jason Sabourin. “We want to raise awareness that we are doing this again,” Capt. Sabourin said. As for the need, he noted, “We’re bracing for about 600 (families). It’s a little bit up over last year. We’ve noticed a big influx of new clientele this year. “It never seems to go down. The number never drops,” Capt. Sabourin added. “We’re looking at a ton of toys going out as well. I don’t want to hazard a guess on the number of kids and toys.” Families turning to the Salvation Army will receive a food hamper and gifts for children up to 18 years of age. Food hampers include turkey or ham, along with the fixings for a Christmas dinner. “We like to throw in some extras, like pasta and sauce. We want to make sure they have a nice meal for Christmas and to carry them through when we’re closed. We’re closed the week between Christmas and New Year’s,” Capt. Sabourin said. He noted when it comes to gifts, “The ones we usually struggle with are teens.” Teens have a wide range of interests, he added, and gifts for teens can include gift cards to stores. “People are thinking of dolls and trucks. We get a lot for boys seven to nine and girls seven to nine,” Capt. Sabourin noted. “People just aren’t aware” of the need to help younger children and older youths. The Salvation Army is also seeking volunteers to help with its kettle campaign. “We’re hoping folks will call in to volunteer with the kettles,” he said, adding the service has kettles at 31 locations. “It’s a big undertaking.” He said high school students can volunteer and have the time go towards their 40-hour community commitment. It’s hoped high school students will be at least 16. However, if they are younger, they can team up with an adult and still have the hours count. “If they’re on their own, we’d like them to be 16.” All money collected in the kettles “stays local,” he noted. Volunteers are also being sought to help with the toy drive, the captain added. Also needed are non-perishable food items. Food items that can be dropped off include canned meat, fruit, vegetables and fish, pasta and sauce, macaroni and cheese, coffee and tea, jellies and jams, rice, peanut butter and baby food and formula. “We’re grateful for what we receive,” Capt. Sab- ourin said. Hampers will be delivered on Dec. 18 and 19, while toys can be picked up between Dec. 8 to 17. Bins have been placed in many stores for food and gifts. Items can also be dropped off at the Fam- ily Services Centre at 37 Kings Cres. in Ajax. Salvation Army seeks help for Ajax, Pickering families AJAX -- Alex Shayda and Nancy Ellis prepared family bags at the Salvation Army, which is conducting its annual Christmas food and toy drive. About 600 are expected to turn to the Salvation Army this year for help.

That’s the message Durham Regional Police and other police forces across Ontario are spreading as the holiday shopping season gets going. The Lock it or Lose it campaign is a province- wide initiative to warn motorists about the dangers of property and identity theft from leaving vehicles unlocked or leaving valuables in plain sight. The campaign is sponsored by the Ontario Asso- ciation of Chiefs of Police and it encourages people to take precautions to prevent theft from their vehi- cles, especially during the holiday season. During the campaign, police offi- cers will examine parked vehi- cles to ensure they are locked and that no valuables have been left in plain view. Officers will place a small notice on vehicles that were checked to indicate what safe- ty precautions were neglected and offer simple prevention tips for drivers to protect their vehicles against theft. The notices also congratu- late drivers who have secured their vehicle. “The insurance industry remains a strong sup- porter of the Lock It or Lose It campaign. We know it works,” said Rick Dubin, vice-president, Investi- gative Services, Insurance Bureau of Canada. “While actual vehicle thefts have dropped, we are very concerned about identity theft and iden- tity fraud. Cases of identity theft and fraud have increased across Canada from 10,807 to 11,594 in 2013 – a six-per cent increase.” Police urge motorists not to keep personal doc- uments, such as vehicle ownership, liability pink slips, credit card invoices, or other documents con- taining personal information in their vehicles, as identity thieves look for such documents. Once they have them, thieves can get a credit card, lease vehicles for export, and even take out a mortgage against victims’ properties without their knowledge. Victims may not realize they have been victimized until it is too late, costing them time and money to rectify the damage. 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 • De c e m b e r 4 , 2 0 1 4 4 AP Ontario shoppers still love their flyers: new study Almost half of Ontario shoppers have used print flyers for gift ideas ONTARIO -- Where do you get ideas for the perfect holiday gift? From Pinterest to Instagram, the digi- tal world is awash with places shoppers can go to discover unique and thought- ful gift ideas. Yet not all shoppers have rushed to source their gift ideas from the latest social media hotspot. A new study reveals that almost half of Ontario shoppers have used print flyers as a source of gift-giving inspira- tion. The study also shows that while peo- ple may spend more time online than ever before, 97 per cent of Ontario shoppers still read and rely on printed flyers, and many of them, 86 per cent, take the time to read their flyers on a weekly basis. “You may think that in our digital world print flyers would factor less in consumer decision making, but we found the exact opposite,” said Ian Oliver, president, Metroland Media. “Shoppers became quite emo- tional when we asked them how they use flyers. And as it turns out, flyers con- tinue to play a significant role in how we decide what we want to purchase.” In the survey, Ontario shoppers revealed that they consider flyers to be a critical guide for finding deals and learning what products are out there when they need to make a purchase. While the most popular kinds of fly- ers are sent to customers from grocery and mass merchant chains, at least half of Ontario shoppers depend on the fly- ers they receive from department stores, fashion retailers, sporting goods and electronics stores. In Durham Region you can find your weekly flyers in the Ajax News Advertis- er, Pickering News Advertiser, Clarington This Week, Oshawa This Week, Whitby This Week, Port Perry Star and Uxbridge Times-Journal.

In addition to the 16 people charged, another 18 motorists received three-day suspensions for registering a warning and three received seven-day suspen- sions.

The ingestion of the potassium iodide (KI) pill is just one small part of a larger emergency response and public protec- tion plan people need to be aware of in case of a nuclear emergency, said Dr. Ed Waller and Dr. Anthony Waker, two Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Technology professors in the faculty of energy systems and nuclear science. The two, both of whom hold Cana- da Research Chairs, say an accident at Pickering or Darlington nuclear generat- ing station would be extremely rare, but are concerned there may be public mis- conception that the pills alone would pro- tect people. “Our main point is potassium iodide pills are really specific for one thing and one thing only and that thing is blocking the thyroid so it doesn’t take up radioio- dine in a nuclear accident,” said Dr. Waker. Stocks of KI pills are in pharmacies and institutions such as schools, daycares, and police and fire departments. Recently the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission mandated KI pills be deliv- ered to all homes and workplaces within 10 kilometres of nuclear plants by the end of 2015. “Having KI pills at home is not the answer, it’s just a supplement to a proper emergency response plan,” said Dr. Waker. “That emergency response plan needs to be made by the provincial government but it also needs to be thought out as a family as well.” Dr. Waller said while some mistake KI pills as “being magical anti-radiation pills,” they only block one element, iodine, from being absorbed in the thyroid. “They do not block or absorb radiation,” he said. “They saturate the thyroid gland with non-radioactive iodine, so that when radioactive iodine is present, it does not readily get absorbed. In a hypothetical release, there will be many more radionu- clides in the atmosphere that KI pills will do nothing for.” Dr. Waller is not against the distribu- tion of pills. “If something gives the pub- lic more confidence then it’s generally a good thing,” he said. “I think when you have confidence though you should really understand the strengths and the weak- nesses.” Despite calls from community mem- bers for KI pills to be distributed beyond 10 kilometres, Dr. Waker is skeptical of the idea. He said there would be many logistics and costs involved, and it could give people a false sense of security. Dr. Waller said in order to prepare for the event of any radiological release, there are a number of things that can be done. “You should have a strategy for shelter- ing in place,” he said. “To me that’s the most important thing.” Residents should have enough water, medication, food and pet food for 72 hours, he said. Radios are necessary and Dr. Waller said if they are not hand- cranked, they should have backup batter- ies. Andrew Morrison, a spokesman with the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said in a written response that protecting public safety is a priority and that Ontario has a compre- hensive plan in place to respond to emer- gencies. He said the provincial Nuclear Emer- gency Response Plan is regularly reviewed and exercises are conducted, most recent- ly in May with more 1,000 participants, including Ontario Power Generation. He said this incorporates numerous pro- tective actions including sheltering, evac- uation and ingestion controls, and the use of KI pills. “The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management works closely with the (CNSC), the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, and our municipal and community partners to ensure the new regulations are consistent with the (nuclear emergency response plan) and associated Radiation Health Response Plan,” Mr. Morrison said.

Potassium iodide pills pose a problem for profs HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • Potassium iodide pills will go to every household and workplace within 10 kilometres of nuclear generating sta- tions in Ontario by the end of 2015, but two Oshawa-based professors believe the pills are not the only answer to stay safe in case of an accident at a plant. OSHAWA -- UOIT professor Dr. Anthony Waker is seen here inside the neutron detection laboratory. Dr. Waker said sheltering in place is the most important action residents can take in the event of a nuclear accident and notes that potassium iodide (KI) pills are just a supplement to a proper emergency response plan.

Living in an age of over-taxation are people supposed to feel sorry the government isn’t getting its share of taxes on the sale of illicit tobacco? At least the money spent on its pur- chase was paid for with money earned, unlike the billion dollars that the Liberal government wasted on the gas plant scandal. Money taken in taxes from people who worked hard for that money. How about the Ornge scandal? Over a million dollars paid annually to the CEO with- out public awareness, or Hydro One’s skyrock- eting rates while executives receive golden parachutes. If the Ontario government needs money to run the province, I suggest they stop wast- ing it on themselves instead of complaining they aren’t getting enough. There should be accountability but there isn’t any at all. I applaud anyone who can get away without paying taxes to a group of incompetents who have no respect for our hard-earned money and frivolously waste it so easily. By the way I don’t smoke, and never have.

It also says that most of them probably clicked through the site’s terms when they signed up with- out reading them. At roughly 4,400 words, Facebook’s terms are not exactly light reading, but anyone con- cerned enough to post the fake privacy notice should at least consider skimming them. Reka Szekely Reporter Social Media As we mark 25 years since the Montreal Massacre, it’s a reminder that violence, harassment and injustices against women come in many forms and happen on a daily basis. We all know the horrific story. On Dec. 6, 1989 Marc Lepine shot 28 people at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, killing 14, before taking his own life. Lepine specifically targeted women in the attack, which began in a classroom, where he separated the men from the women and shot the nine women, killing six. Before the killings in the classroom began, Lepine claimed he was “fighting feminism,” calling the women “a bunch of feminists.” Dec. 6 has become the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Unfortunately there are many more inci- dents since then that garnered a lot of atten- tion. Recently in the media we have heard stories of rapes on school campuses. There are the allegations against Jian Ghomeshi and Bill Cosby; there’s Malala Yousafzai, the Paki- stani girl targeted and shot by the Taliban for speaking out in favour of women’s education; and there’s video footage of football player Ray Rice punching his fiancee in the face. But there are many more examples which, though less severe than those above, are extremely hurtful to women and make them feel afraid, such as sexually suggestive remarks. Women deal with violence and harassment in so many ways each and every day. Very few incidents make the headlines. But behind closed doors there are women who are regu- larly demeaned and insulted, women suffer- ing abuse at the hands of a partner. In Durham, Bethesda House women’s shel- ter in Bowmanville provided us with some sobering statistics culled from the last 11 years, to June 30, 2014. In that time, 947 new women entered the shelter and 662 new children and youth entered the shelter with their mothers. Calls to its crisis support line totalled 14,017, or 106 per month. Roughly three calls a day, every day, for 11 years. Behind the numbers are women, mothers, sisters and daughters, fearful and seeking help. To discriminate based on gender is bad enough. To verbally and physically abuse women is reprehensible. As this grim anniversary approaches, let us re-double our efforts to ensure women can lead lives without the fear of harassment or violence, to ensure we never hesitate to speak out against attacks of any kind on a woman or women. It starts with us, one person at a time. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Violence against women a crime against us all 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 • De c e m b e r 4 , 2 0 1 4 10 P For a l l y o u r f a m i l y d e n t a l n e e d s .

I might include a gift certificate to a local restaurant or spa as a centerpiece, and surround it with unique goodies. A mug or bowl from a local potter can be a beautiful keepsake, and inside I might place a jar of honey or jam from a local farm, a bottle of wine from Ocala or Archibald’s, or even a growler or two of craft beer from 5 Paddles in Whitby, or Old Flame in Port Perry. I might also add a bar of luxurious handmade soap or a beeswax candle, to top it off. These local treasures are as much fun to make as they are to receive. Which local items do you treasure during the holidays? Send a Tweet or Facebook message to DurhamTourism and let me know which local shops are your favourites for finding holiday gifts. Meanwhile, here are just a few ideas to get you started. Spend the afternoon exploring the unique boutiques and independent shops that make Durham such a spe- cial place. Whether you are looking for handmade crafts by local artisans or freshly made craft beers, thoughtful gifts are around every corner in our historic downtown districts. In downtown Whitby, be sure to check out the stretch of brand new home décor shops that have sprung up over the last year. You’ll find beautifully restored fur- niture for the nursery, right through to the dining room, alongside carefully sourced hostess gifts too. Look for Pine- apple Street, Sweet Violet and Rural Reclaiming for some creative home inspiration. The chocoholic in your life will appre- ciate handcrafted goodies from Isabel- la’s in downtown Oshawa, The Nutty Chocolatier in Port Perry, or William’s Chocolates in Whitby. Every gift basket has room for a truf- fle or two. Also, if you know a loyal Christmas village set collector, The Gift House has all the trimmings. Tying up your basket with a beauti- ful scarf always adds that extra special touch. Fashionistas will benefit from a trip to Bowmanville’s Gather, Heritage, The Glass Slipper, and other fabulous shops that have carefully curated collec- tions in the latest styles. The nostalgic one in your life will appreciate a vintage treasure from any of the wonderful antique or second- hand shops throughout the region. If you find yourself in the Orono area, be sure to check out the fantastic Antiques Mall. If housewares or eco-inspired items are on your list, visit Port Perry for a variety of shops featuring terrific house- wares, gifts, clothes, and vintage finds galore. In Uxbridge, you can please the book- worm on your list at Blue Heron Books, stop by a selection of delicious baker- ies, and find handy kitchen gadgets for the home cook at The Passionate Cook’s Essentials. Take the time for a drive to north Dur- ham, and visit The Dark Horse in Sun- derland and experience an intriguing combination of original, Canadian art, antiques and home décor. Be sure to wander through Pickering Village in Ajax, or the Nautical Village in Pickering. Between the two, there are more than 100 shops featuring spectac- ular finds from gift cards for spas and restaurants, to unique pieces of local art, and so much more. No matter who you’re buying for this season, or how you choose to celebrate, keep Durham Region businesses in mind.

Until next year -- have a safe and happy holiday season. Kerri King Manager Durham Tourism Durham Tourism DURHAM -- Durham Tourism manager Kerri King says a ‘growler or two of craft beer’ from 5 Paddles in Whitby is a local gift worth giving this Christmas season. Metroland file photo Court sides with OPG on Darlington environment review Greenpeace and others wanted Fukushima-like accident effects studied Brad Andrews bandrews@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON -- A federal judge has decided against environmentalist groups and cleared a hurdle for the overhaul of the Darlington nuclear station. A Nov. 25 federal court ruling declined to order a more extensive environmental review of plans to overhaul the Darling- ton nuclear station. Four environmental groups had argued that the initial review failed to consider how nuclear waste will be stored, the possibility of accidents on the scale of Fukushima or Three Mile Island, and the impact on fish and water. In a written decision, Justice James Phelan rejected their request for additional review, ruling that the environmental assessment performed for Ontario Power Generation meets the required standard. The assess- ment concludes that the impending reac- tor refurbishment project is not likely to cause significant environmental effects. The environmental assessment didn’t consider the possible impact of catastroph- ic but low-probability accidents on the scale of Fukushima — a limit accepted by federal regulatory agencies. Justice Phelan said in his ruling there was “nothing unrea- sonable” about excluding low-probability accidents from the analysis. The environmental groups involved in the legal action include Greenpeace, Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA), Lake Ontario Waterkeeper and Northwatch. “We’re disappointed that the environ- mental review has not been touched,” said Shawn-Patrick Stensil, an energy analyst with Greenpeace. “These matters are all things the public needs to know about.” He added they are getting legal opinions of the decision before taking any action moving forward. “We’re pleased with the court’s decision,” said Neal Kelly, spokesperson for OPG. “This reaffirms our conclusions that the Darlington refurbishment will not result in any adverse environmental effects.” OPG plans to start work in 2016 on the overhaul, which is designed to extend the life of the station by about 30 years. The cost is estimated at $10 billion in 2013 dol- lars, or $12.9 billion, including financing costs.

This type of party can be quite a bit of fun and is actually not too difficult to arrange. All one needs is a bit of imagination, some food and, of course, wine. The one major thing you need to do is to decide on a theme. Is it going to a ‘Fun Tasting’ smorgasbord of wine or will it be one that is more region centric? Much depends on the mood you wish to create and/or the experience/knowledge of your guests. The ‘Fun Tasting’ is by far the easiest and most relaxing of any type of wine party. The host can pur- chase two bottles each of several types of wine from various parts of the world. The wines can be a mix- ture of red and white. If white wine is used it should be served prior to the red. Chill the red a bit but don’t freeze the white. Something more challenging would be a more specific tasting moving from the general to the spe- cific. General could be ‘six wines from Europe.’ A more specific would be ‘six Italian red wines from Europe.’ More specific than that would be ‘six Italian red wines from Tuscany.’ Still more specific would be ‘six Chianti wines from Tuscany.’ Finally a very specific tasting would be ‘six 2013 Chianti Classico regional wines from Tuscany’. As you can see, one can get very particular when it comes to selection of wines for a party theme. I find the more thought that goes into the tasting, the more fun it usually is for everyone. If one really wants to ‘stir the pot’ one can add a ‘blind’ tasting into the equation and see where the party goes from there. A blind tasting is the same as the above party wine with one exception -- no one knows what the wine is and must rely on his/her own analytical skills. This is not easy and the host/taster must know what he or she is doing. Blind tastings can be fun but not for those who cannot accept making a mis- take since even the very best ‘expert’ tasters make mistakes. As a Christmas theme, my suggestion is to choose a specific popular wine style/type, such as an Italian Amarone from the Veneto and, with a group of friends, enjoy several bottles from different suppliers. Compare one with the other and rate them according to your likes (or dislikes). Check the colour, bouquet/aroma on the nose, taste the wine and com- pare the body, the flavour and other nuances. Enjoy the experience. Serve them with an assortment of hard regional cheeses and crusty bread. Does the food affect the flavour of the wine or vice versa? In Veneto, Amarone is served at the end of a meal with such accompaniment. Regardless of what type of tasting you do -- the rule here is to have fun. Remember, always employ a post-party designat- ed driver. -- Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada.

Ticks containing Lyme bacteria in Rouge Valley People should take precautions when in brushy, wooded areas DURHAM -- Durham, Toronto and York Regions are warning residents that ticks carrying the bacteria that causes Lyme disease have been found in the Rouge Valley, which reaches into Pickering. The three public health units actively searched for ticks in the Rouge Valley after receiving reports that blacklegged ticks were found by people who had been in the area. The ticks collected by the public health units were sent for identifi- cation and testing, and some tested positive for the Lyme disease bacte- ria. This new information suggests blacklegged ticks and Lyme disease are becoming established in the Rouge Valley, say Durham Region health department officials. While blacklegged ticks are most likely to infect people with Lyme disease during the summer months and the risk of it is low in this area, residents can reduce the risk of get- ting bitten by a tick by taking pre- cautions when in brushy or wood- ed areas where ticks may be found. Tips include: wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, socks and closed footwear; tuck pants into socks and wear light-coloured clothing, which makes ticks easier to spot; use an insect repellent that contains DEET on clothing and exposed skin; those frequenting areas where black- legged ticks are established should examine themselves thoroughly for ticks after each outing; put a tick and flea collar on pets and check them for ticks routinely. As transmission of the Lyme disease-causing bacteria requires the tick to be attached for at least 24 hours, prompt removal of ticks from the skin will help prevent possible infection. Ticks removed can be submitted to the local public health unit for identification and further testing.Early symptoms of Lyme disease usually occur within one to two weeks, but can occur as soon as three days or as long as a month after a tick bite. Symptoms include: fever; headache; muscle and joint pains; fatigue; and red bull’s eye rash. All three public health units will continue to monitor blacklegged ticks in the area. For infor- mation about ticks or Lyme disease in Durham, call 905-723-3818 or 1-888-777-9613, or visit www.durham.ca. More information is available at www.health.gov.on.ca/en/ms/lyme .

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.

The Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) recommends a winter regime of exercise, a hearty and healthy diet, and natural health support to keep you warm, even through the worst of the season.dosages that are right for you.

He specializes in the oral health care of infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health care needs. 905-427-5553 |www.dentistryinajax.com 300 Rossland Road East, Unit 100, Ajax We wantyourchildtogrowupsmiling! NOWAVAILABLE PediatricDentistry Exercise Regular exercise gets the blood pumping and blood vessels dilating, helping to distribute warmth to our extremities. A good workout also burns calories, a process that produces lasting heat, so keep moving. The rush of endorphins we get from exercising is another important benefit, especially in winter, because they help to balance our mood and combat the “winter blues”, or seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Hearty Diet What we eat and drink has a lasting effect on our ability to keep warm. In particular, spicy foods help to raise our metabolism, which allows our bodies to produce heat faster. Try using ginger, cayenne pepper, and more garlic when you prepare hearty meals, as well as other nutrient-rich ingredients like tomatoes, leafy greens, and beans. Natural Health Support Despite our best efforts, it is rare that we are able to get all the nutrients we need from our food alone. Supplementation is a convenient way to fill those nutritional gaps, especially in winter. To start, make sure you get the recommended daily dose of all B vitamins, which helps to increase blood flow and maintain our body’s internal temperature. A vitamin D supplement, essential for disease prevention and many of the body’s vital functions, is universally recommended for Canadians during the winter months. It is always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider for more personalized health advice, including the specific supplements and dosages that are right for you.

The Murrays started the Music By The Bay Live series and the Music By The Bay Festival. This year they organized the first annu- al Durham West Blues Festival, a three- day event at Annandale this June past. Carlos Del Junco, Downchild Blues Band, Fathead and Jack de Keyzer performed along with many others. The Murrays also reached out to the visual arts community and had artists create works from discarded musical instruments. Operations have moved to the St. Fran- cis Centre in Ajax, where last month they presented Blackie and The Rodeo Kings. Quite the coup bringing in the genius that is Colin Linden, Tom Wilson and Stephen Fearing, the trio who comprise BARK. On Dec. 5 The Murrays are crying the blues again. The Bluesy Christmas Party with Diana Braithwaite and Chris White- ley will take place at St. Francis and Chuck Jackson of Downchild will be the special guest. Terry Wilkins on bass, Vince Mac- carone on drums and Jesse Whiteley on keyboards are the backing band. Those in attendance will be offered handcrafted ornaments created by mem- bers of Sunrise Youth Group for pur- chase. These ornaments will decorate a Christ- mas tree which will be donated to Denise House with proceeds from the sale of the ornaments going to Music Therapy at SickKids hospital in Toronto. The tag line for the event is the Bowie quote, ‘put on your red shoes and dance the blues’. I’m not sure if you have to put on your red shoes but it is Christmas after all and there is a dance floor. Maybe slip on your ruby red shoes and click your heels together and say there’s no place like home because there is no place like home for turning up your shirt sleeves and making things happen. The Murrays are turning up and making things happen in Durham and deserve a special shout-out for their work in bring- ing y’all the blues.

Kent Farndale, a dedicated Scugog com- munity volunteer and arts enthusiast, received the Lifetime Achievement Award as Durham Region’s Durham Art of Tran- sition Creative Awards were handed out at Heydenshore Pavilion. The awards recognize creative peo- ple who make Durham a better place in which to live. Farndale was in the company of fellow Scugogians Carey Nicholson, well-known in Durham’s theatre community and co- artistic director of Theatre3x60, and Jen- nifer Hardie, Birgitta McLeod and Bonnie Thomson from Port Perry’s META4 Con- temporary Craft Gallery, winners of the Theatre and Cultural Champion in Business awards, respectively. “We’re all really good friends; we’re kin- dred spirits,” Farndale said at the event. Nicholson pointed at Farndale and said she was a trailblazer who led the way for the other women. “If I didn’t have the arts in my life, it would be very empty,” Farndale said. Hardie said META4, almost a decade old, was a hit from the start. “We started off in a little space and in six months we moved to the space we have now,” she said. It was a second trophy for Thomson, who shared in the award given for The Reflec- tion Park in Port Perry in 2011. Cathy Brown from Ajax’s Heritage House Catering was honoured in the Culinary and Artisanal category. A caterer for 30 years, five years at the Pickering Village location, she said when she moved into Heritage House she wanted to pay homage to heritage in general and her unique heritage, namely her grandmother. An inspiration to Brown, her grandmother was “an amazing woman” who knit, cro- cheted, gardened and, of course, cooked, she said. “All the talents sort of trickled down; I’m grateful for that,” Brown said. “And the love and the passion I feel after 30 years. I still love what I do.” Also honoured were: • Media Arts: Yolanda Beasley, Whitby Chamber of Commerce • Music: Clarington musician and Blue Rodeo member Greg Keelor • Literary: OnStage Uxbridge founder and writer/actor Conrad Boyce • Philanthropy: Carol Vandersanden of Oshawa’s The Table • Visual Arts: Henry Kortekaas of Picker- ing’s Henry Kortekaas and Associates • Festivals and Events: How to in 10, Durham Region public libraries • Lifetime Innovator: Hampton resident Wayne Conrad, Omachron Science Inc.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Wu wooed by Mercyhurst NCAA university commitment motivates Pickering defenceman on Whitby Fury Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Relieved but still motivated. Those are the emotions Jeremy Wu will be carrying with him for the remainder of the Ontario Junior Hockey League season with the Whitby Fury after committing to the Uni- versity of Mercyhurst Lakers hockey pro- gram for next fall. At this point it’s a verbal commitment, with an expectation the 19 year old will sign his letter of intent during the next period in the new year. “It’s something I’ve wanted since Grade 8 or 9, the first time I went down on a trip in minor hockey,” says the defenceman of chasing an NCAA scholarship. “This year I could taste it I was so close. Every game you play you wonder in the back of your head if someone is here watching. “To finally commit is a big relief. (Now) I feel more relaxed out there. It doesn’t feel like I have to impress anybody.” The Pickering resident played much of his minor hockey in the Ajax-Pickering Raid- ers system, but his sights changed the sum- mer before Grade 11 when he competed in the Chowder Cup tournament in Boston, which is highly scouted. Northwood, a prep school in Lake Placid, New York, offered him a chance to relocate and join their program. But he made the Pickering Panthers of the Ontario Junior Hockey League as a 16 year old, and decided to stay home. After appearing in just two of the first 10 games with the Panthers, he was sent back to midget and used as an AP with the Pan- thers. The following summer, he committed to Northwood for Grade 12, refusing to miss out on the experience a second time. “It was good,” he says of moving away from home for his senior year of high school. “It helped me mature a lot as a person, defi- nitely as a hockey player. You can’t slack off at school, you have to be a good citizen, they make you volunteer. “It prepares you for school after, for col- lege, with good study habits, balancing school with hockey and taking care of your body.” When he returned back home, he opted to sign with the Fury instead of his home- town Panthers, influenced by the success the Whitby organization had on the ice, its reputation for mov- ing players on to the next level, and he had a couple of friends on the hockey club. Last season as a rookie, he put up three goals and nine assists in 53 games, but was used in a different role than this sea- son. “This year I pushed for more of an offen- sive game. Last year he was our shut-down guy,” said Fury head coach Tom Boyle. “We played him against the other team’s top lines all year long. “He’s got great offensive instincts. He’s got great skill and can jump up in the rush and make great plays. That’s why he’s the leading defenceman in the league for points.” Heading into the weekend, Wu has 6-24- 30 point totals in 31 games, best in the league among defencemen. At Mercyhurst, Wu will join a couple of buddies, ex-teammate Taylor Best and cur- rent teammate Jonathan O’Hara. The fact there will be some familiar faces on campus was comforting to him. “It’s intimidating going into a school where you don’t know anyone,” said the 19 year old. “Mercyhurst has a very Ontario feel to it. Most of the guys come from this league. I thought it would be similar to joining a team like Whitby and I would have an easy time fitting in.” 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 • De c e m b e r 4 , 2 0 1 4 25 APSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 Hockey Pickering Panthers get a pair of weekend wins PICKERING -- It’s been a while, but the Pickering Panthers came out on the winning end of a weekend. The Ontario Junior Hockey League club had a pair of wins and just a single loss in recent play, blanking Lindsay 4-0 and beat- ing St. Michael’s 8-5 while falling 6-1 in Cobourg. Austin Washkurak stopped all 34 shots he faced in Lindsay to record the shutout on Friday, while Mark Tenuta scored twice with singles added by Cam Palmer and Chris Sekelyk. The streak went to two on home ice Sunday night in a wild one with St. Michael’s, as the Panthers came back from a 2-1 deficit after the first period, exploding for four goals in the second for a 5-2 lead. Both teams counted three times in the third for the final. Riley Devine had two goals and two assists, while Mitch Emerson matched that total on three goals and an assist. Brandon Salerno also had a strong night with three assists. The Panthers were outscored but not outshot in Cobourg on Monday, down 4-0 in the second period before Palmer scored the lone goal of the night for the Panthers. The Panthers actually held a 37-29 advantage in the shot department. With an 11-13-1-3 record, the Panthers head to Milton on Friday, then host Lindsay on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Basketball Pine Ridge hosts senior boys’ basketball tournament PICKERING -- A lot of local talent will be on display this week when Pine Ridge Secondary School hosts the 10th annu- al David Preston Memorial senior boys’ basketball tournament. Seven of the eight teams in the tour- nament are from the Durham Region, with the lone outsider from Windsor, as Kennedy Collegiate rounds out the field. The tournament tips off on Thursday, Dec. 4 at noon, and continues through until Friday, Dec. 5 with the champion- ship game slated for 6 p.m. Opening round games on Thursday will pit Max- well Heights against St. Mary at noon, the host Pine Ridge will face Notre Dame at 1:30 p.m., J. Clarke will take on Dennis O’Connor at 3 p.m., and the opening day will close out with Ajax against Kennedy at 4:30 p.m. Pine Ridge is the top-ranked team in Durham Region, and fifth in the GTA according to the rankings on www.hoop- towngta.com WHITBY -- Pickering’s Jeremy Wu, a defence- man with the Whitby Fury, will be off to Mercyhurst next fall on a hockey scholarship.

The event highlighted local athletes and taught students to be physically active, have healthy eating habits and how to be resilient. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Former Pickering Panther Steven Dombrosky named rookie of the week Netminder leads Morrisville State College to overtime win MORRISVILLE, NEW YORK -- Former Pickering Panthers netminder Steven Dombrosky, now with the Morrisville State College Mustangs, was named the SUNYAC Rookie of the Week for his per- formance this past weekend. Dombrosky was a defensive mainstay for the Mustangs on Sunday, as they posted a 3-2 overtime win over No. 15 nationally ranked Williams College at the Skidmore Invitational championship final. In the contest he registered 36 total saves in 61:20 played, including 14 in the second period, eight more in the third and one in the extra frame to secure the tournament win for Morrisville State. His efforts earned him All-Tournament team honors as Morrisville State pulled their record even at 4-4-2 after sweeping the weekend’s action. Dombrosky, studying mechanical engi- neering technology at Morrisville State, logged heavy minutes for the Panthers last season, playing 50 games, eight more than his closest competitor, and 2,902:01 minutes played, more than 500 min- utes more than his nearest competition in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. Dombrosky’s 22-20-6 record helped end a lengthy post-season drought as he led the Panthers to their first playoff berth with an eighth-place finish in the North- West Conference standings, ultimately falling to regular-season league champi- on Kingston in the first round of the play- offs. The popular netminder was voted as the Panthers Fan Favourite in league award balloting.STEVEN DOMBROSKY At ComparaSave.com you can compare and save on rates for car,home and travel insurance,plus mortgages and credit cards.From Canada’s top financial institutions.All in one place.It’s easy and it’s free.
