Sandy Hawley: still enjoying the ride Parvaneh Pessian ppessian@durhamregion.com Life may not be as fast-paced as it once was for Sandy Hawley, but the Oshawa-born leg- endary jockey, whose riding career spanned 30 years until he retired in 1998, hasn’t let age slow him down. At 66, he’s still immersed in the world of horse racing as a public relations ambassa- dor for the Woodbine Entertainment Group, a position he’s proudly held for about 16 years. Mr. Hawley recently attended a local event for the relaunch of Durham Sustain Ability’s Durham Partners in Project Green, a program that assists local companies in reducing energy costs, increasing profit- ability and improving their overall envi- ronmental performance. It’s an exten- sion of the GTA organization Partners in Project Green, of which Woodbine is a founding member. “It’s funny that I have come full circle,” the affable, five-foot two former jockey laughed during the event in January.- “I was born and raised in Oshawa, had my first job at Windfield Farms, and then all of a sudden decided to move back to Oshawa after I retired from the riding part.” With Mr. Hawley’s nearly 50-year history with Woodbine nearing the finish line -- he plans to retire from his role at the end of the year -- Loupe caught up with him for a chat at Kingsview United Church in Oshawa. The quaint church on the south- west corner of Wilson Road North and Adelaide Avenue East holds a special place in his heart; he and his wife Lisa were married there 24 years ago. “It looks exactly the same, wow, I’m getting goose- bumps thinking about it,” he said, reminiscing from a front row pew inside the empty church. Mr. Hawley has earned a well-deserved spot among the greatest jockeys in thoroughbred racing with a total of 31,455 mounts, 6,449 wins and 18 riding titles at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. It started back when a 16-year-old Mr. Hawley was asked by his uncle what he wanted to do with his life after high school. “I was in Grade 10, I think, and I really didn’t know. And he said, ‘Well you should think about becoming a jockey, you’re the right size.’” Mr. Hawley says he had never thought about it until then but it immediately piqued his interest. He began his career ‘hot walking’ horses in 1966 and became a regu- lar rider within two years. He learned how to ride under the tutelage of Duke Campbell, a trainer he credits to this day as one of his greatest influences. Mr. Hawley won his first career race aboard Fly Alone on Octo- ber 14, 1968 at Woodbine, going on to win three more races in his first year. He became North America’s top apprentice jockey in 1969 and then led in victories for the years 1970, 1972, 1973 and 1976. In 1970 he was the continent’s leading race-winning jockey with 452 wins. In 1972 he tallied another North Ameri- can title with 367 wins, and in the 1973 sea- son, he became the first jockey to ever win 500 races in one year -- an achievement he regards as “the biggest thrill of my career.” He left Woodbine after that to race in Cali- fornia. In 1976, he was named the winner of Santa Anita Park’s prestigious George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award, presented to a rider who demonstrates high standards of personal and professional conduct both on and off the racetrack. That same year, he won the National Thoroughbred Racing Association’s Eclipse Award as North Amer- ica’s most outstanding jockey. Mr. Hawley received the Lou Marsh Tro- phy in 1973 and 1976 as Canada’s top ath- lete and was decorated with the Order of Canada, the country’s highest individual civilian honour for outstanding accomplish- ments by a citizen. He was inducted into the Canadian Racing Hall of Fame in 1986, the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1992 and Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in 1998. But one of his proudest moments took place in 2008 when he won the Living Legends race against seven fel- low Hall of Fame riders. “To be able to come back after not riding for 10 years -- and I had my boys and my wife there, and some family members and friends -- it was just fantastic,” said Mr. Hawley, who has two sons, Bradley, 23, and Russell, 21.... • See the complete story in the latest edition of loupe magazine Also in the July edition of loupe: • Durham Region readies for the Pan Am Games • Trent University celebrates 40 years in Durham • Whitby teen a Young Entrepreneurs finalist • Q & A filmmaker Serena Morcinek • Neil Crone ‘In the loupe’ with Linda Kash • Names in the News, The Big Picture.....and more newsmagazine loupe FR e e Take M e H o m e A memorable year covering theOsHAwA GeneRAls Trent University celebrates 40 years in Durham -- and looks to the future whitby teen a finalist in Discovery 2015 Young entrepreneurs competition JULY 2015 Faces oF the pan am, parapan am games Durham Region Is Ready!

Investigators said Mr. Nelson was leaving a party in the area and they are exploring the possibility that this was a random encounter and that he did not know the suspects. Police are searching for two male suspects as well as the car they were driving -- a 2002 to 2008 four-door, silver Honda Civic. The first suspect is described as a black man in his early 20s with a dark complexion, about six feet two inches tall, with an Afro hairstyle. The second suspect is described as a black man in his early 20s with a light complexion, about five feet seven inches tall, with an Afro hairstyle. Police were called to the Glenanna Road and Hunstmill Drive area of Pickering at approximately 2:30 a.m. on Thurs- day for reports of a stabbing. Mr. Nelson was rushed to hos- pital and later died of his injuries. Residents of the neighbourhood were shocked to wake up Thursday morning to find a crime scene in their midst. Tonecia Ramon was out for her regular morning run when she stumbled on police tape cordoning off an area of Glenan- na. “This is a safe area, I sometimes run by myself at night,” she said, shaking her head. “It’s sad to think of this kind of violence happening in my neighbourhood.” John Stortz lives nearby and was alarmed to find the street crowded with police vehicles when he woke up Thursday. He said there was “a lot of partying going on” Wednesday night for Canada Day and wonders if that could be connect- ed to the violent incident. “A lot of people were drinking and being loud, maybe someone got carried away,” he mused. “I feel very sad for the young man’s family. These things are just senseless.” No arrests have been made and police are canvassing the neighbourhood for anyone with information. This is Durham Region’s first homicide of 2015. Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Short of the Major Crime Unit at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 5407. Anonymous information can be sent to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477. PICKERING -- A police officer from the Ident Unit photographed the murder scene in the Glenanna Road and Huntsmill Drive area after a man police identified as Dionecio ‘Deshane’ Nelson, 25, died of stab wounds.

The incident occurred on June 21 when a Pickering couple found the injured raccoon, with a snare attached to its paw, in their back- yard, adjacent to Alderwood Park in the Bay Ridges area. The pair removed the snare but the raccoon got away before the couple could get it help. “This illegally set snare has tortured at least one animal -- a juvenile raccoon -- and there are likely more set in the area,” says Michael Howie, spokesman for The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals (The Fur-Bearers). “If this continues, it will be a matter of time before more wild animals or a domestic dog or cat is maimed or killed.” Provincial governments regulate the use of traps, but the public is often unaware of their presence or the terrifying pain they cause, says the Fur-Bearers. “We are offering this reward in hopes that the individual who so callously and danger- ously set a trap in this community will be brought to justice and face the full extent of the law,” Mr. Howie says. He hopes it will also help raise awareness around the very real dangers that the traps create, whether they are in urban environ- ments or rural trails. “This is much more common than people believe, but the biggest problem is that peo- ple don’t know about it,” he said, adding the group saw at least four dogs, on top of may other wild animals, caught in various traps this year. Formed in 1953, The Fur-Bearers works to provide non-lethal solutions to communities and eliminate the need for trapping. “We understand that homeowners can become frustrated with wildlife, particularly if damage is found on a property,” Mr. Howie says. “But there are non-lethal solutions that allow homeowners to live alongside the important wildlife in our communities with- out conflict. It’s simply a matter of education.” Information on this incident or any other illegal trappings should be reported to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources at 1-877-847-7667. Reward offered in Pickering raccoon snaring incident PICKERING -- Philip Perrin, with his wife Jane Becker, talked about pulling a snare off the paw of a baby raccoon after it crawled into their yard on Father’s Day. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Pickering museum hosts Chopped-inspired bake-off Saturday PICKERING -- Pickering Museum Village is adding a heritage twist to the theme of a popular cooking television show on Satur- day. The famous culinary show Chopped is in its second season in Canada, but the museum is hosting its own event that will include five chefs, a basket of set ingredi- ents, and a bake-off for the best dessert on July 11. Like the show, teams will vie for the blue ribbon from a panel of judges. Visitors will get to sample the results. Helena Turner, volunteer leader of Vin- tage Victuals, the museum’s heritage cookery club, was inspired by the show Chopped when she proposed the concept for this year’s Blue Ribbon Baking History in Action Saturday. There will be teams of three in the museum’s heritage kitchens, the 1830s Log House, the 1850s Brougham Temperance House, and the 1870s Miller- Cole House. Ms. Turner has selected ingre- dients that would have been available to each of the households, and the teams will have to come up with a dessert appropriate to their time period, and bake it in an open hearth or woodstove. “The Vintage Victuals are so excited,” said Ms. Turner. “They’ve been poring over rec- ipe books to get ready for the competition.” The museum brings history to life every Saturday with a different theme. Regular admission fees apply. For more informa- tion call 905-420-4620 ext. 3715, visit www. pickering.ca/museum or follow PMV @ pickeringmuse on Facebook or Twitter. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 2365 Concession Rd. 6 in Green- wood. Correction In the June 25 edition of the Pickering News Advertiser, the 2015 Report Cards for Durham District and Durham Catho- lic District School Board trustees incor- rectly referred to Pickering Trustee Chris Braney as the board chairman.

As a resident of Pickering I vehemently voice my opposition to the practice of charg- ing a user fee to gain entry to and usage of Beverly Morgan Park. I am well aware of the reasons expressed by the City for imposing the fee, essentially dogs and other animals defecating on the inner playing field and clogging the drainage system. The idea of a public park is that it is an area for the general public, not just a few. If the City chooses to proceed with this then per- haps the taxes paid by all residents for the maintenance and upkeep of the track and field should be stopped. Let the people who use and pay for this area pay for the upkeep of it...make it truly private. Why not fence the area off with one gate and place a sign there that states “No Ani- mals Allowed.” Why not enforce the estab- lished bylaws that regulate the on and off leash of pets in public areas along with the removal of animal waste by bylaw enforce- ment officers? Is this the way the City plans to change public areas where established bylaws are hard to enforce? By charging a fee for use? Mike Borie, Pickering • See the full text of this letter at durhamregion.com The pain when a child leaves home is emotional labour Saying goodbye to a child going off to university has been called empty nest syndrome. That term is inaccurate. It is no more empty nest syndrome than childbirth is empty womb syndrome. The day your children leave home is as inevitable as was their birth, and as pain- ful. But it is also as natural as birth, and to label it as a syndrome is a mistake. A “syn- drome”, according to my ancient Oxford dictionary, is a “concurrence of symptoms in a disease.” The feeling of loss when one’s grown child leaves home is not a disease. It is a normal reaction called missing someone you love. At first I thought I was over-reacting when I missed my university-bound son so much that it hurt to breathe. Then I spoke with other parents and realized that what I was feeling was normal. We’re all in that same boat, rocked by reminders of times gone by. The pain comes in waves -- some- times you’re fine, then a favourite TV show or a blast-from-the-past song comes along and triggers a wave of pain so intense that you have to deep breathe through it. When I waved goodbye to my daughter two years later, I felt the same grief but this time I knew I would get through it, just as I had learned that I could survive the labour pains of childbirth the second time around. I wept, but I knew it would get better with time. I wept again when my youngest left for school two years after that. It’s painful each time, but you get better at recovering. You birth your child into the world, only this time the pain is emotional. Like that first time, you realize your world will never be the same, but this is nature’s plan. There’s no point fighting it any more than you could the first time around. Perhaps we should rename empty nest syndrome to what it really is: emotional labour. -- Lesley Law is a Whitby resident.

People sometimes do damaging things without much deliberation or analysis. This is the life we live, for better and worse. Thus, Durham Region Media Group is rec- ognizing the good and the not so good right here at home: LAUREL: American statesman Theodore Roosevelt once defined citizenship: “The first requisite of a good citizen ... is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight ...” Uxbridge business leader Cathy Christ- off certainly meets the criteria. She has long been committed to the betterment of this gorgeous north Durham community and was recently honoured as Uxbridge Citizen of the Year on Canada Day. As owner of the popular Roxy Theatre in Uxbridge, she has helped revive the local theatre while extend- ing a vitally important helping hand to youth through her Roxy Kinds in Action mentor- ship program. She’s founder of the annual Uxperience show which funnels proceeds back into the community, and is an active member of Rotary. All of which is to say she is a deserving recipient of the accolades she has received. Our heartiest congratulations. LAUREL: Durham’s municipalities are to be commended for Canada Day festivities held in every corner of the region on July 1. From west to east and south to north, residents came together to celebrate the bounty that we share. Thousands, many bedecked in red and white, celebrated at their homes, in local parks and along waterfront areas, wav- ing the maple leaf, sharing in fellowship and recognizing how lucky we are. The sense of pride was palpable. Awesome, eh!? DART: Durham’s Patricia Russel is a grieving widow in Bowmanville who was surprised and upset to receive confidential identify- ing information of a stranger, sent to her via a Service Canada error. Ms. Russel, whose husband died in April, was applying for the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement -- a monthly non-tax- able benefit provided to low-income Old Age Security recipients -- when she was sent the private information of another person who lives in Toronto. She quickly contacted Service Canada offi- cials to address the issue, but quite reason- ably wonders: How often is it happening? More, apparently, than one would sur- mise: 559 privacy breaches were recorded in 2014, according to Employment and Social Development Canada. If one is too many -- particularly in an age in which government entities collect vast amounts of digital infor- mation -- then 559 constitutes something else entirely. Summer’s here, for now ... Along with back hair, toenails that could carve hickory and the inability to embrace any music created after 1978, one of the unlooked-for perks of getting older is that I have developed an acute psychosis regard- ing the brevity of the summer months. The longer in the tooth I get, the more cru- elly abbreviated seem the days and weeks of wonderfully warm, sunny, weather. There must be something to this, some kind of bizarre chronological parallax as, I am certain, all of us can remember the sum- mers of our youth: endless weeks of heat, sunshine and idleness that used to seem almost interminable. There was such a sur- plus of time that I can actually recall becom- ing bored of summer. Not so any longer. For instance, it occurred to me recently, with not a small amount of panic, that the summer solstice had sneak- ily come and gone and the days were now officially on the downslide back into the sin- ister bleakness of winter. How can that be? The cover of my barbecue has barely been off. I haven’t heard one lousy cicada and I can count the number of patio cocktails I have enjoyed on one hand -- well, two, if one counts highballs and spritzers. What makes things worse is that we seem to have traded climates with Seattle. No more humid southern Ontario mornings where, even at 8 a.m., the cottage deck was too hot to walk on in bare feet, where the sun baked the lilac bushes so hard, one plant would perfume an entire block, where the moist twilight air was redolent of freshly mown lawns, flower gardens and the dying embers of charcoal barbecues. Where, even as the streetlights came on, the echo of hap- pily sunburnt children running through sprinklers could be heard. We had summer! Instead we have rain. The rain on the roof, on the car hood, on the leaves, deck and window panes. It’s relentless and punish- ing. I have hanging baskets of flowers that look like they’ve gone 10 rounds with Jake LaMotta. I can hear my neighbour’s peonies breathlessly whispering ‘No mas, No mas’ with their beautiful heads battered to the ground. It is so wet that while chatting with a neighbour over the fence, moss began to grow on my legs. If this keeps up I’m ripping out the hostas and planting rice. But as I say, the real problem is that, even with the foul weather, it’s all going by much too fast. If I do not knuckle down and make concrete plans for each and every weekend left until Labour Day, I will blink and it will have vanished like beach sand through my fingers. I will be left holding my snorkel, flip- pers and towel as the leaves fall from the trees and the V-patterns of geese pass south- ward overhead. There is a lesson to be learned here. Clear- ly I haven’t grasped it or I would not be sit- ting here writing while the sun shines. And, amazingly, it is shining. Not quite enough to burn off the lichen spreading across my key- board, but it’s there. The lesson has some- thing to do with living in the present, enjoy- ing every sandwich and a bunch of other glass half-full crap. Stuff I do actually under- stand and would fully put into practice -- if it would just stop freaking raining! -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 APWe tried the temporary Pan-Am HOV lane in Durham last week and sailed into Toronto.

With Labour Day just two months away, Canadians believe that some of their most expensive spending days of the year are ahead. A recent poll by CIBC finds that 40 per cent of Canadians say they spend more money in the summer than any other sea- son. As well, 45 per cent of those polled say they use their credit card or dip into savings to foot their summer fun bill. Poll highlights: • 40 per cent of Canadians say they spend more in summer compared to any other season. • 49 per cent of Millenni- als (aged 18-34) say summer is the most expensive time of year. • $1,766 is the average amount Canadians plan to spend on summer fun, including travel and day trips, dining and dinner parties, recre- ational activities and summer goods like barbecues and sports equipment. • 45 per cent of Canadians say they try to save for summer fun, but find they use their credit cards or dip into savings to pay for extra costs.

Durham beaches great place to cool off in summer Before heading in, check to make sure water is safe Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Ahhhh! It’s starting to heat up, the humidity is rising, the sun is shining brightly. If you’re looking for a way to cool off, you can turn to the 13 beaches in Durham Region for some relief. That is, if it hasn’t rained in the pre- vious 48 hours. Each year, from the begin- ning of June to the end of August, the Dur- ham Region health department tests the water quality at all its beaches to ensure its safe for swimming. (There are 14 beaches, but testing isn’t being done at Elgin Pond in Uxbridge until road construction in the area is complet- ed.) Laura Freeland, manager of environmen- tal health for Durham Region, said “the main reason (they test the water) is pre- venting and reducing water-borne illness- es at public beaches.” The chances of getting ill are “very low,” Ms. Freeland noted, adding illnesses could be gastrointestinal, minor skin infec- tions, ear or eye infections. People with depressed immune systems could also be at greater risk of getting sick, she added. The main reason for bacteria getting into the water is rain, which will wash in con- taminants, such as animal fecal matter and storm runoff. “There could be E. coli in the water,” from fecal matter, she said. “It’s still a risk, but a low risk.” Beaches are posted with warnings when E. coli measures more than 100 E. coli per 100 milliliters of water. If the E. coli read- ing exceeds the limit, the health depart- ment will have signs posted at the beach warning the public that the water is unsafe for swimming. Ms. Freeland added that if someone were to go swimming on a post- ed beach, it’s their choice. “Obviously, we can’t restrict people from going in.” As for water quality, “this year, it’s not that good. There has been heavy rainfall on Sundays and we take water measures on Monday. It’s rained three of the Sun- days prior to testing. It’s not worse general- ly than last year. It’s related to the weather, rain predominately, from week to week,” Ms. Freeland noted. Summer students gather samples, using sterile water bottles to collect water in one to one-and-a-half metres of water. The water is sent to a public health lab in Peter- borough for testing where it’s tested for E. coli. “We’re supposed to test prior to the bath- ing season. We start on June 1 and end at the end of August. June is when school is getting out and people are on holiday. At the end of August, the nights are cooler and the water is cooler. Kids are back at school and people are back at work,” she noted. WHEN NOT TO GO SWIMMING You shouldn’t go swimming if you can’t see your feet when standing in waist deep water and/or it has rained two days prior to swimming. SOURCES OF POLLUTION According to the Durham Region health department, sev- eral sources of water pollution can result in beach postings. These include: • Seasonal and storm surface runoff (heavy rain) into rivers and lakes • Storm water runoff containing bacteria from pet and wildlife feces • Storm water runoff from ditches and storm sewers • Agricultural surface runoff from land near swimming areas • Runoff from manure piles and feedlots • Agricultural activities, particularly livestock operations, if not properly managed. • Illegally connected sanitary sewers and poorly installed basement washrooms • Domestic septic systems that are poorly maintained and located • Large populations of waterfowl that colonize a beach or surrounding area • Environmental conditions (i.e., wind, rain, sunlight, air and water temperature) • Overflows from combined sewers that carry both sewage and stormwater • Excess flows that have bypassed municipal or industrial sewage treatment plants. • Boating waste • Livestock access to streams • Farming milkhouse wash water that is dumped into drain- age ditches and streams. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP KEEP OUR BEACHES CLEAN AND SAFE FOR SWIMMING Pick up after your pets. Remove dog feces immediately from the streets, public parks and private property. Pet wastes are a major source of bacteria in stormwater. Where possible, detach eavestrough downspouts so rain- water goes into the ground rather than into a sewer. This reduces the amount of water going directly into sewers. Reduce water use in your household. This helps avoid over- flow problems at some municipal sewage treatment plants that may cause untreated sewage from entering waterways. Make sure that any washrooms added to your home are properly connected to the sanitary sewer pipes or your private sewage disposal system. Don’t discharge backwash from your pool onto the road. Pool water should be discharged three days after the last chemical application, either to the sanitary sewer, or across the lawn to the storm sewer. Consider a driveway of crushed or interlocking stone. An open surface driveway reduces the amount of stormwater entering the sewer system. It also replenishes groundwater. In agricultural areas, fence livestock away from streams and give them alternative sources of water. This benefits the health of both the herd and the environment. Make sure that runoff from feedlots and manure piles is properly contained. Do not attract animals or birds to beaches by feeding them. HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • Each year, Durham Region tests water at beaches to ensure it’s safe for swimming. If it’s not, someone going in could become sick • If it has rained within the previous 48 hours, most beaches won’t be safe for swimming as the bacteria level will be elevated.

Now, the Durham Region health department has come up with a new tool to help parents ensure their children are safe and sound. Keeping Kids Safe is a 16-page pamphlet with tips for parents, along with a child home safety checklist. The tips focus on four main areas: falls, burns, poisoning and drowning. Lynn Ryan, a public health nurse with Durham, said, “We looked at the statistics and we saw injuries were the main reason for children to go to hospital. It’s the main reason for children from 0 to 4.” The emphasis is on supervision to avoid a child being injured, she noted. Supervision “requires full concentration,” she said, adding if someone needs to do something, “it’s best to wait until the child is sleeping or there’s another adult to look after the child while you’re working. “The best way to keep children safe from injuries is to watch them closely,” Ms. Ryan said. People can get distract- ed by working around the house, being on the com- puter or texting, she noted. “Even when a child is in the room and close by, it’s a challenge to keep a close eye on them. Super- vision is so important.” The brochure is an attempt to “provide parents with sim- ple information. Information on preventing injuries.” About 63 per cent of injuries to children under five hap- pen in their own homes, according to the Canadian Hospi- tals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program. The pamphlet noted children change as they grow and develop new skills. This puts them at risk for injuries such as falls, burns, poisoning and drowning. Falls are the No. 1 reason for a child being taken to hospi- tal, Ms. Ryan said. Children from 0 to 4 years have a higher injury rate than any other group, she noted. “Injuries are happening in the home. They’re very young and a lot of their time is spent in the home. “Parents want to keep their children safe, healthy and happy,” she said. “Another thing parents can do is be aware of children’s age of development. Their abilities are always changing and improving. A young toddler isn’t aware of danger. Be prepared and make change before then. That way, they’re not caught off guard when a child is starting climbing stairs.” If a child is burned, it’s usually from “pulling a hot drink or food onto themselves. In the flash of a second, they can have that mug and spill it on themselves,” Ms. Ryan said. Children can also be burned if the water in a bath tub is too hot. That’s why the Region is suggesting turning down the hot water heater to 49 C or 120 F. When it comes to poisoning, “medication is the leading cause of poisoning for children,” she said. “Young children are at a higher risk for unintentional poi- soning,” she noted, adding parents or guardians should make sure medications, cleaning products and some plants are out of reach or locked up. “We also suggest that parents keep the Ontario Poison Centre phone number.” The number is 1-800-268-9017 or 416-813-5900. Drowning is the second most common form of death for children under five. Ms. Ryan noted it’s possible for a child to drown in as little as 2.5 centimetres or one inch of water. Small babies should always be in their parent’s arms when in a pool, while young children should be within an arm’s length. “Water wings aren’t a good substitute for supervision,” she said. “Never rely on bath rings to keep a baby safe.” In the summer, “the outdoors becomes part of the house,” she added. A fence should be put up around all four sides of a pool, with a self-closing latch. Even a kiddie pool poses danger and should be emptied when it’s not being used. “In the summer, you’re often travelling away from the house and that poses dangers as well,” she said. “In most cases, the environment can’t be changed, like a hotel with a balcony. Keep children away from them.” The booklet has tips on how to make the home safer and there’s a checklist to keep track of safety concerns.

HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • Most childhood visits to a hospital emergency room are for falls. • In 2010, about 10,700 children in Canada went to an ER and it carried a total cost of $447 million. • A new resource put out by Durham Region’s health department attempts to lower childhood injuries through better parental supervision.DURHAM -- The Durham Region health department has produced a new pamphlet to help parents keep their children safe.

On June 25, the board of gov- ernors voted to make changes to how board meetings are run. The changes include requiring five business days’ notice from any member of the public who wants to attend a board meeting as an “observer,” and 10 working days’ notice from members of the pub- lic who want to make a presenta- tion. The new policy also defines board committee meetings as “non-public meetings,” which would bar members of the pub- lic from attending, or accessing meeting materials or minutes. “This egregious move on the part of the highest decision-mak- ing body at UOIT shows a com- plete disregard for openness and transparency,” says Gary Genes- ko, president of the UOIT Facul- ty Association, which represents more than 200 teaching faculty at the school. Student Association president Jesse Cullen says his group will be releasing an online petition to pro- test the changes. “This is a body that affects stu- dents in a lot of ways,” he explains. “They approve tuition fee increas- es, they sign contracts with the food providers on campus, a lot of things being discussed have a direct impact on students.” Mr. Cullen questions how stu- dents and other stakeholders can provide five or 10 days’ notice to attend or speak at a board meet- ings, when UOIT doesn’t release meeting agendas that far in advance. UOIT did not make officials available for an interview, but communications officer Bryan Oliver noted the new policy isn’t much different from what was in place before. “Past practice has been to require 10 working days’ notice of atten- dance, although this was never noted in a formal procedure,” he said in an e-mail. “The proposed policy reduces this requirement to five days in order to better facili- tate attendance while still allowing proper planning for space.” Mr. Oliver noted the dates of upcoming board meetings are approved at the annual general meeting each June for the subse- quent year, and said UOIT aims to have meeting materials published seven days in advance, though bylaws don’t specify a deadline. He also said making committee meetings non-public is consistent with the UOIT Act, which “pro- vides for discussions where the board can discuss confidential or sensitive items privately.” However, critics of the change say it would be more transparent to keep the meetings and their materials public, and go in-cam- era when confidential matters arise. UOIT’s 25-member board of governors is responsible for gov- erning and managing the affairs of the university including: approv- ing the school’s annual budget; appointing and removing the president, chancellor and mem- bers of teaching and administra- tive staff; setting standards for student admission and gradua- tion; overseeing matters related to scholarships and other awards for academic achievement; establish- ing academic and research poli- cies; and regulating the conduct of students and staff. “We see this as a further example of them trying to create a private institution instead of a public insti- tution,” says Jeremy Baarbe, presi- dent of PSAC Local 555, which represents more than 600 teaching assistants, research assistants and sessional faculty at UOIT. “It’s very concerning, because this organi- zation is funded by tax dollars and tuition.” newsdurhamnewsdurhamnewsdurham If y o u L i k e d the G o l d e n Girls...

Biking along the Oshawa Creek Destination Durham video series Ryan Pfeiffer rpfeiffer@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Biking is a great way to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Having a good bike route makes the experience even sweeter. The Joseph Kolodzie Oshawa Creek Bike Path offers a leisurely option to get from downtown Oshawa to Lakeview Park. I started at City Hall and followed the bike path all the way to the lighthouse at the Oshawa Harbour. The route is close to six kilometres and took me nearly 20 minutes. The paved trail is mostly flat, with a couple of dips and hills around roads and access points. The scenery is also nice. The bike trail follows the Oshawa Creek so you’ll see water, lots of trees, and you’ll go through tunnels and over bridges. Portions of the path travel close to the creek and has steep slopes, sharp turns and unprotected edges. Caution should be used when accessing and maneu- vering the trail. With plenty of access points along the path, you can tailor your bike trip to best suit your cycling habits. Enjoy.

Durham women fleeing abuse need foster care for pets Women stay longer in violent relationships if they can’t get pets out safely too Jennifer O’Meara jomeara@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Local animal lovers are being asked to provide a loving temporary shelter for animals fleeing abusive homes. A new program lets a woman fleeing abuse get her pet out of the house as well. Safe Fam- ilies Safe Pets - Durham needs volunteers to foster the animals while the women stay in shelters until they get a new place to live. Three domestic violence shelters in Dur- ham Region have partnered with animal ser- vice providers and advocates to create the new program. “In the end, this could save lives,” said Jaki MacKinnon, executive direc- tor of Bethesda House women’s shelter. She said it could help women who are hesi- tant to flee violent relationships because they don’t want to leave their pets in the hands of their abuser. Research out of the U.S. found women in abusive homes delay looking for help because there isn’t anywhere safe to take the pet. The longer a woman stays in a violent relationship, the more dangerous it becomes as the abuse escalates. Sometimes women can come to the shel- ters with their pets. It depends on how crowded the shelter is and how large the ani- mal is, according to Ms. MacKinnon. Ms. MacKinnon actually has a cat at home that used to belong to a former shelter resi- dent who couldn’t take pets to her new home. The new program could also help pro- tect the pet. Ms. MacKinnon said it’s impor- tant for women to flee with the pets, because abusive partners take their anger out on the pet. A beloved pet can also be a comfort for woman and children building a new life for themselves. “A family is going to move on from violence and abuse better if they have their pet with them,” said Ms. MacKinnon. The animal could need a foster home for just a few days while a woman moves. Or it could be months, while she tries to find affordable housing. Volunteers can specify how long they can host an animal. All animal costs, including food and litter, will still be the responsibility of the owner who is living in the shelter. If the owner is financially stressed due to her situation, the shelters will work with animal welfare groups like TAGS (The Animal Guardian Society) and AVA (Action Volunteers for Animals) to find donations of food and supplies to help out while the owner gets back on her feet. Ms. MacKinnon said a range of different types of foster homes will be needed, from quiet houses for elderly animals to homes with lots of activity and attention for a more energetic pet. Potential volunteers will be able to state their preferences for the types of animals they can take in. Interested people will be interviewed over the next few months and added to the list of volunteers. Volunteers will need to agree to home visits, criminal reference checks, pro- vide references and sign off on the animal care guidelines. “I know some people are turned away by the paperwork ... We’re doing the best we can to respect the owner, the ani- mal and the volunteer,” said Ms. MacKinnon. The new program is slated to start up in the fall. Those interested in volunteering to take in foster pets can e-mail Ms. MacKinnon at director_bethesda@rogers.com. OSHAWA -- Jaki MacKinnon, executive director at Bethesda House, snuggled with Kit Kat, a cat she adopted after the previous owner, a shelter resident, couldn’t take the cat to her new home. Safe Families Safe Pets - Durham is a new program that lets a woman fleeing abuse get her pet out of the house as well.

Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 Schnur eager to play close to home Aiming for gold as member of Pan Am Games tennis team Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING — He’s been on the courts of all of the major venues around the world, but the one place Brayden Schnur is really looking forward to playing at is relatively close to home. The Pickering resident will be represent- ing Canada in tennis at the Pan Am Games, with an opportunity to perform in front of family and friends at the Rexall Centre in Toronto, which will be known as the Cana- dian Tennis Centre for the Games. What sets the Pan Ams apart from play- ing at Wimbledon, or the Australian, French and US Opens is the opportunity to wear the country’s colours of red and white. “Pan Ams will be a little different,” than most tournaments, notes the 20 year old. “You’re not just playing for yourself, you’re playing for your country. There’s more on the line. It’s a totally different feel. The environment is going to be different, the crowd is going to be different compared to a normal tennis match. “I think it’s an honour to play for Canada. It’s something every kid dreams of putting the Canadian jersey on. I’m looking for- ward to a great and amazing experience.” Life, to this point, has been quite a jour- ney for Schnur. He left home at the age of 14 and moved to Florida for a cou- ple of years, living with his grandparents and coach, travelling and playing tour- naments. At 16 he went to the Canadian National Training Centre in Montreal and, at 18, accepted a scholarship to North Car- olina, where he just completed his sopho- more season for the Tar Heels tennis pro- gram. Highly recruited, he had one of the best freshman seasons in school history, post- ing a 19-3 singles and 19-4 doubles record, earning ACC Freshman of the Year hon- ours. In 2014 he won the national indoor collegiate championship, and was named Canadian Junior Player of the Year by Ten- nis Canada. The previous year, 2013, he earned his highest international ranking as a junior at 26th in the world, adding the boys’ singles title at the Canadian Open to his resume. “Everything is a learning curve. There’s only so much you can learn in the class- room,” he says of the education in life he has received through his travels from a young age. “I believe a lot in doing things yourself and having to mature in a way, and I guess I learned that from a young age, being away from home at 14. “I wasn’t able to have a normal life like most high school students. The benefit was I got to see the world. The only con- tinent I’ve never been to is Asia. I’ve seen everything and experienced a lot. It’s been a great journey for me that I’ve been on so far.” Tennis has taken him around the world, where he has competed at all of the major venues as a junior, including the US Open (2012), Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon (2013). The Pan Ams will serve as the fifth time he has represent- ed Canada in international competition, where he will compete in singles, and dou- bles with partner Philip Bester. His career highlight to this point was qualifying for the main draw at the Rogers Cup last year, he says, and his goal at the Pan Ams is simple: to win gold. Schnur is going to use the summer to gauge his next step, contemplating turning pro, but at this time, planning to go back to North Carolina for his junior year, where he is majoring in communications. His long-term goals are already plotted out. “My dream is to win a Grand Slam, be top 10 in the world, and compete at the Olympics one day,” he says. “Those are my dreams and goals. I’m just trying to take steps to get closer to those.” Metroland Media Group Ltd. is a signature sponsor of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by President’s Choice and OLG.

Photo by Tennis Canada Cory Joseph set to become a Toronto Raptor Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Having grown up a fan of the Toronto Raptors, Cory Joseph is going to be one next season. The point guard from Pickering has signed a reported four-year, $30-mil- lion contract with the NBA club, although details of the signing can’t be released until Thursday, July 9, as per league rules. Joseph tweeted on Sunday night that he would be joining the Raptors. “#WeTheNorth here I come!!!!!” was the post on his Twitter account. The 23 year old began high school at Pickering, leading the Trojans basketball team to back-to-back OFSAA champion- ships in 2007 and 2008. He transferred to Findlay Prep School in Las Vegas to continue his progression before earning a scholarship to the University of Texas. After just one season, he didn’t have to go far to begin his professional career, drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round, 29th overall. Last season, his third in the league, Joseph and his team- mates won the NBA championship, beat- ing the defending champion Miami Heat. “Every year I’ve made strides and got my game better,” he said during an inter- view shortly after winning. “There’s still a lot to learn still, but each year I’m improv- ing.” From a young age, playing one-on- one with older brother Devoe in their Pickering driveway, summer or winter, Joseph found the Raptors played a huge influence on him. “My team was the Raptors,” he said in an interview last year. “I was Damon Stou- damire when he was younger. I’d be Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady. All the great play- ers who came through the great organiza- tion.” 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 • Ju l y 8 , 2 0 1 5 19 P A Compounding phArmACy 75 BAYLY STWEST AJAX L1S 7K7 NO FRILLS PLAZA TEL: 905-428-1711 •FA X: 905-428-0863 We WantTo Beyour drug Store!

While the Jr. B lacrosse club was swept in three straight in their best-of-five series, the games were close and competitive, including the deciding game, when a goal with just 20 seconds left gave the Green Gaels an 8-7 win, moving them to the next round and eliminating the Ironheads. The Ironheads were a hard team to fig- ure out this season. They started the sea- son by reeling off five wins in a row, and were challenging for top spot in the divi- sion with a 6-1-0 record at one point. Then they fell on hard times, going 2-10-0 over the next dozen, setting up a one-game showdown with Brampton in the final game of the regular season to determine a playoff spot. The Ironheads grabbed the eighth and final seed in the East Confer- ence with a 13-5 win. Heading into the playoffs 9-11-0 against the top-seeded Green Gaels at 18-2-0 was a big challenge, but one they didn’t back down from. They showed some character right to the end. “If we play consistent, which we haven’t, it’s the team that played tonight,” said GM/head coach Ron Reed of the identity of his club shortly after the heartbreak- ing one-goal loss on Thursday, July 2. “We recognized that coming out of the shoot. We got off to a great start, maybe the guys got too complacent. “We played brilliant for moments of every game we were in this year, but it wasn’t consistent. That’s our problem. If we get a team that’s gong to play con- sistent, with a lot of heart, we have a real opportunity to win in this league.” The Ironheads matched the Green Gaels goal for goal in the third game of the series until the final 20 seconds. In the two pre- vious games, the Ironheads lost by scores of 13-4 and 10-6. “Tonight we thought we would have a better outcome, but it is what it is,” said Reed. “The effort was there tonight. We thought we deserved a better outcome. It was 100 per cent effort from every guy for 60 minutes. “Credit to the Green Gaels, they beat us three times in the regular season and three times here. They are a helluva ball team.” While the Ironheads will move on to next season, four of their players won’t, graduating due to age -- Patrick Mor- gan, Ryan Morley, Jeremy Hill and Rowan Kelly. Morgan, the team’s captain this sea- son, finishes his career as the franchise leader in points with 201. He battled on the floor, and beat cancer off of it, serving as a true leader for his club. “He’s the heart and soul of our team,” praised Reed. “What an inspiration that kid is for the year considering what he’s gone through and what he does on the floor for us. He’s a great captain and a great kid.” AJAX -- Ajax Ironheads Nick Ellerton looked for an opening during Jr. B lacrosse playoff action against the Clarington Green Gaels.

He will be missed by his nephew John (wife Joanne) and his grandchildren Dylan, Evan, Madeline and John. Preston coached amateur boxing for over 35 years in different provinces and in the Yukon. Many of them competed and titled at provincial, national & international competitions and the Olympics. He received several awards including Boxing Ontario's Volunteer of the Year, inducted into the Canadian Amateur Boxing Hall of Fame and Boxing Ontario's Legend's of Fame as a coach. Countless boxers credit him as also being a mentor, father figure and friend making a life-long impression on their lives. Surviving larynx cancer and surgery in 2006, he was limited to only whispering but he continued coaching the sport he loved. Preston was also an avid volunteer at the office of our Member of Parliament.

She was a kind and gentle soul, who gave much more than she received in return. She had the inherent ability to strike up conversations with strangers and make them feel like long lost friends, which many became. Always the caregiver, dispensing help to those in distress, soothing those in pain and most importantly shepherding new life into the world. Never one for the limelight, but she was forever providing encouragement, joy and love. Our quiet champion, who will be eternally celebrated. Survived by her children, Christopher Ambridge and his son's Keaton and Javin of Toronto, Kathy Taylor and her son Matthew of Niagara Falls, and Geoffrey Ambridge and his wife Christine of Port Perry. Predeceased by her loving husband David L. Ambridge, mother Mary Irene Whiffen, and her grandson Joshua Taylor. Glenna graduated from Ottawa Civic Hospital School of Nursing and then embarked on a 40 year career in Obstetrics . She enjoyed helping people, was active volunteering in the community and loved to play cards with her friends. Cremation has taken place. A private family service will be on Saturday, July 11, 2015.
