Close to 7,000 athletes from across Latin America, South America, the Caribbe- an and North America will descend on the Greater Toronto Area to compete in 36 Pan Am sports and 15 Parapan Am sports. The TORONTO 2015 Games will involve municipalities stretching from Oshawa to Welland. More than 20,000 volunteers will give their time to make the Games a suc- cess. Here are a few tips for putting your Pan Am spirit on display: If you live in a host community, organize your neighbours for a community cleanup. Nothing says pride of community more than trash-free boulevards and streets. Do a little Pan Amscaping. Assist an elderly neighbour by mowing their lawn, plant flowers in Pan Am colours (green, blue and orange). Put your patriotism on display - hang a Canadian flag from a window or porch for all to see. Make your business Pan Am-friendly. Get rid of that overflowing garbage, bring the Pan Am colours into your window dis- plays, hand out Pan Am keepsakes to cus- tomers. Share your Pan Am spirit on Twitter using any of the following: #OshawaPanAm, #TO2015, #ajaxpanam. Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Once every 20 seconds. That’s how often a Pan Am Games ticket is sold. With the Games getting underway, there are still plenty of tickets for a number of events. Heather Irwin, co-ordinator of media relations for the Toronto 2015 organiz- ing committee, said in an e-mail, “We’re thrilled with the momentum we’ve seen in the last month. Almost 650,000 tickets are in the hands of fans. We’re selling three or four times what we were selling a month ago and our sponsors have finalized their ticket pur- chases.” There are 1.4 million tickets for the Pan Am Games, which run July 10 to 26, and the Parapan Games, from Aug. 7 to 15. Ms. Irwin noted sales for some events have been quite brisk. For instance, there are few, if any, tickets remaining for the men’s base- ball medal games on Sunday, July 19 at the President’s Choice Pan Am Ballpark in Ajax. In fact, there are few or no tickets available for the men’s baseball games, Ms. Irwin said. It’s the same for the women’s softball final on Sunday, July 26, also in Ajax, and the medal sessions in boxing in Oshawa on Saturday, July 25. “Great tickets to the Games are still avail- able, but the best ones are selling quickly,” Ms. Irwin added. She noted tickets start at $20 each, with additional discounts for seniors and chil- dren. If tickets are available, they will be for sale at the venues. The London 2012 Olympics sold 97 per cent of the 8.5 million tickets available. It was the same story in Vancouver, where organizers sold 97 per cent of the 1.54 mil- lion tickets at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Toronto 2015 organizing committee chair- man David Peterson is happy with the way things are going. “I think it’s going remark- ably well. I’m very enthusiastic about it,” he said. “More than a third of the sports are all sold out. The medal rounds are selling out. Some of the preliminary ones aren’t as quick, but this is normal in the circum- stances.” -- Metroland Media Group Ltd. is a signature sponsor of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by President’s Choice and OLG. 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 9 , 2 0 1 5 3 AP If y o u L i k e d the G o l d e n Girls...

Ajax kicks off youth employment program upNext Ajax to help young adults develop skills to land a job Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Kristin Iorio has a degree in chemical engineer- ing from Queen’s University and for more than a year, she’s been looking for a job. Aside from a summer job last year, the 23-year-old Ajax resident said there’s been “nothing since then.” To help herself, Ms. Iorio is taking part in upNext Ajax, a three-week program to assist 25 young adults develop skills needed to land a job. “I’m mostly focused on oil and oil isn’t dong so well. There’s no real hiring happening,” Ms. Iorio said, add- ing she’s heading off to Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland in September, where she’ll study environmental systems engineering. She’s hoping to open her own consulting firm one day. “I have to market myself. Knowing how a business runs helps in the business world.” She’s hoping the program will “better market myself on social media. That’s a great skill to have.” Ajax is offering the program because one in five young adults in the town is unemployed. At the launch on Monday, July 6, Mayor Steve Par- ish noted in last year’s municipal election, all the can- didates heard about the need to create jobs for young adults. “Unemployment is a very serious problem.” The national unemployment rate for young adults is about 13 per cent, while in Ajax it’s about 20 per cent, he said. “That’s a serious problem.” He pointed to the Catch 22 of finding a job -- not being able to get experience without a job and not being hired without experience. “It’s the circle you’re involved with,” Mayor Parish said. “Human capital is the most important capital you can have. If we don’t keep young people in our community, we have a serious problem.” He added it’s the responsibility of a municipality, the feder- al and provincial governments and the private sector to work together to help create jobs. Gaurav Jagota, 18, of Ajax, said he’s taking part because “in this day and age, it’s very hard for youths to gain experience. Ajax presented this opportunity.” He’s going into his second year of business at the University of Western Ontario in London. “I just finished interning with the Investors Group,” he said, adding he hasn’t been able to find other work. “I’m hoping to gain experience so I can get the employment of my choice,” Mr. Jagota said. Jacqueline Rose of Results Employment, a recruitment agen- cy, said the company’s “mission is to help youths and entrepre- neurs market themselves. We want to be a part of it.” The company has worked with young adults and older people looking for work, she noted. “We’re excited to help youths gain employment,” Ms. Rose said, adding the employment picture “is very tough in Ajax. “It’s tough coming out of post-secondary school. It’s a pretty scary labour market now.” Visitors Discount Card available at Guest Services (Lower Level, Centre Court). Earn 20% off at participating Pickering Town Centre retailers.

The 12,000-square-metre Centre of Advanced Research, Innovation and Entre- preneurship building will feature research labs and support facilities for dozens of UOIT faculty researchers and their stu- dents, as well as conference space and a new advanced manufacturing research facility. UOIT officials, students, politicians and community members were on hand for a July 8 announcement, where the federal government pledged up to $26.9 million towards the project. The funding is part of the New Building Canada Plan. The university is responsible for securing the remainder of the $100-mil- lion price tag. “This has been a long time in the plan- ning, it’s the next generation of UOIT,” said Durham MP Erin O’Toole. “This will have the ability to grow, not just the local econ- omy, but the Ontario economy as well.” Mr. O’Toole noted that former Whitby- Oshawa MP Jim Flaherty, who died in April 2014, was involved in early talks about the new CARIE building, and would have been proud to see it come to fruition. Calling it a “banner day” for the univer- sity, UOIT president Dr. Tim McTiernan described the new facility as an “innovation and entrepreneurial commons,” where stu- dents, faculty and members of the commu- nity can collaborate on ideas. “This building will help engage the com- munity in new ways,” he said. “There will be space for small businesses and organiza- tions that want to develop and test an idea.” Dr. McTiernan said energy and big data analytics are two examples of the types of research that will be done there. The exact location of the CARIE building hasn’t been determined. UOIT officials said that decision will be guided by the campus master plan. It will be built in stages, with architectural and engineering plans set to start immedi- ately and construction following as soon as possible. OSHAWA -- Erin O’Toole, the minister of Veterans Affairs and MP for Durham, joined Dr. Tim McTiernan, the president and vice chancellor of UOIT, as they looked at the plans for new building at the University. The Centre of Advanced Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship building will be constructed under the New Building Canada Plan.

There are still no dates set for labour talks between the Ontario government and two teachers’ unions Ethan Lou newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- There are still no dates set for labour talks between the Ontario govern- ment and two teachers’ unions, an absence of dialogue that school boards say threatens the upcoming academic year. The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation and the Province have all confirmed there are no talks scheduled for the summer. Michael Barrett, president of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association and chair- man of the Durham District School Board, said talks have been stalled for about two months, with little indication the situation will change. “There has been no discussion about even getting back to the table and talking,” he said in a phone interview. “It’s not looking very hopeful at this point.” If talks do resume, it will likely be in Sep- tember, Mr. Barrett said -- smack at the start of school. Elementary school teachers have already threatened to cut extracurricular activities and administrative work, which would mean slashing field trips and meetings about students’ transition from one grade to the next. Secondary school teachers have also threatened to cut extracurriculars. As well, their union has filed for conciliation, a dispute resolution process that is a prerequi- site to a strike. Mr. Barrett said a disruption of school is unlikely, but possible. “I rather doubt that could take place, because that’s a drastic action, but that’s just my opinion and it’s not worth very much,” he said. The teachers have been without contracts for almost a year; the parties have been fight- ing over issues such as class size, salary and sick leave in what was a tumultuous period for labour negotiations. In May, secondary school teachers began striking in Durham, Peel and Rainbow dis- tricts, but they were quickly struck down by a court ruling that found the strikes illegal, and the Province, which tabled legislation to force them back to work. The same month, elementary teachers walked away from the bargaining table after an hour, complaining that the government and school boards refused to drop any of the “offensive” concessions they were demand- ing. -- Torstar New Services Empty bargaining table threatens coming Durham school year du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 6 P e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ durhamregion.com Tim Whittaker - Publisher • Joanne Burghardt - Editor-in-Chief • Mike Johnston - Managing Editor • Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising • Deb McDonald - Sales Manager • Abe Fakhourie - Distribution Manager • Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

I found the description of the sign codes in the article interesting however, there is one sign I do not understand at all and that is the sign on Hwy. 401 stating “Access to Brock Road North (Pickering) will be closed starting July 10”. There are Pan Am events in Durham Region (e.g. softball and baseball at the Presi- dent’s Choice Ajax Ballpark) that can be eas- ily accessed by going north on Brock Road to Taunton Road then east on Taunton. This route would alleviate traffic back-ups for res- idents and participants at Whites Road in Pickering, Westney Road and Salem Road in Ajax. Who in their right mind authorized the decision to close this access to Brock Road North at the same time the Pan Am/Parapan Am Games will be causing chaos on roads in Toronto and the GTA? Is Durham Region really ready for the traf- fic of the Games? Please explain the reason- ing here. The residents of Durham deserve an explanation. Maybe this closing could be delayed until after all the games are finished. Debbie McQueston Pickering Justin Trudeau’s environmental policy is contradictory To the editor: The other day I read a speech given by Liberal leader Justin Trudeua.In it he espouses the view to having better relations with the United States, con- sequently improving our trade. He also endorses the Keystone XL Pipeline as part of his plan. What is not logical is his support for clean energy which was also in his speech. How can someone who wants a pipe- line support clean energy?It is contra- dictory. One argument against pipelines is that once up and running they would dis- courage alternative energies, such as electric automobiles. We have, as we speak, the technol- ogy for electric cars.It is not happen- ing becausemoney speaks and oil is big money. Hence, we consider pipelines leading to further green house gas emissions. What a shame. Brad Hogg Everybody who has been stuck in traffic along the Hwy. 401 corridor or on any of the other highways and byways of the Greater Toronto Area knows we have a problem with congestion. Traffic congestion not only costs us bil- lions of dollars in productivity but it’s responsible for about $6 billion per year being spent on higher fuel consumption and increased health care costs. Then there’s the damage our commuting patterns cause the environment through greenhouse gas emissions. But a recent study, led by UOIT professor Dr. Daniel Hoornweg, shows that a simple switch from gasoline and diesel to natural gas in our automobiles could pave the way to a cleaner future. Dr. Hoornweg’s study, ‘Exploring Alter- native Transportation Options in the Greater Toronto Area: Electric and Natural Gas Vehicles’ concludes that a long-term approach focusing on clean and affordable solutions is feasible with the use of electric- powered personal vehicles and natural gas- powered buses and heavy-duty trucks. “A large-scale transportation initiative emphasizing mobility, connectivity, inte- gration and leadership is important for Ontario and Canada,” Dr. Hoornweg said. Among the other changes recommend- ed in the study are exploring the introduc- tion of a Hwy. 401/407 rapid transit sys- tem throughout the GTA and southwestern Ontario. The potential changes, according to the study, would contribute to decreased greenhouse gas emissions, increased eco- nomic productivity and an improved trans- portation infrastructure. Dr. Hoornweg said his proposed approach, which includes making the switch to other cleaner, safer and more affordable energy alternatives, would pro- vide fuel savings costs of some $76 billion and reduced greenhouse gas emissions of more than 100 million tonnes by 2050. His study was prepared as part of ongo- ing transportation work through the uni- versity’s Jeffrey S. Boyce Research Chair in Natural Gas as a Transportation Fuel. And despite the cost savings in fuel costs it does not address how Ontario could afford the increased rapid transit proposed in the study. That said, Ontario cannot continue along its road to ruin regarding traffic con- gestion. In 2009 there were 3.6 million pas- senger vehicles on our roads. It’s estimat- ed that number will grow to 5.7 million by 2050. Something has to change between now and then. If the Province commits to more rapid transit systems, and adopts natural gas as a less expensive and cleaner transportation fuel, the results would be positive for both congestion and the environment. We sim- ply cannot continue on the same path we’ve been travelling. It’s not sustainable. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division UOIT professor charts path for cleaner province 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 9 , 2 0 1 5 7 AP Paddy’s Market It’s Worth the Drive to Hampton! 2212 TAUNTON ROAD, HAMPTON APPLIANCE WAREHOUSE: 905-263-8369 • 1-800-798-5502 www.PaddysMarket.ca $349.$899.$699.

We are hosting sev- eral sporting events in the region as part of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games, the world’s third largest international multi-sport games since 1930. The Pan Am Games are taking place from July 10 to 26, and the Parapan Am Games Aug. 7 to 15. Organizers expect to welcome more than 250,000 tourists and 10,000 athletes, coaches and offi- cials to the 40 Games venues, locat- ed across the Greater Golden Horse- shoe. Durham is proud to be host- ing baseball and softball in Ajax, boxing and weightlifting in Oshawa, and boccia and judo competitions in Whitby. If you are planning to visit Dur- ham Region during the Games, or are a resident hosting visitors, here are some great things to see and dis- cover:  1. Visit the Bowmanville Zoo When the Pan Am torch relay came through Durham in early June, the flame made a special stop at the Bowmanville Zoo, where zoo owner Michael Hackenberger car- ried the flame alongside 30 exotic animals. At this event I had the plea- sure of meeting the zoo’s two newest additions -- tiger cubs. You too can get up close and personal with these cuties by booking one of the zoo’s new 30-minute animal encounters. In addition to tiger cubs, you can book a camel ride, a lemur encoun- ter, feed a giraffe, or be a lion tamer for a day. Learn more at www.bow- manvillezoo.com .  2. Golf Did you know you can play the same golf holes the pros play, right here in Durham? Wooden Sticks Golf Course in Uxbridge boasts an 18-hole championship layout, fea- turing holes inspired by interna- tional courses such as St Andrews, Augusta, Oakmont, Troon and Saw- grass. If you’re feeling inspired by the Pan Am athletes and golf is your sport, why not work on perfecting your game while you’re here? There are nearly 50 incredible golf courses throughout Durham Region, vary- ing in price and level of difficulty. Find a list at www.durhamtourism. ca . 3. Taste the local flavour There’s no better way to get a taste of Durham Region, than by literally tasting it. Durham boasts dozens of farms harvesting the local flavours. Whether it’s a pick-your-own-food adventure (strawberry season is in full swing), a stop at the local farm- ers’ market, or a meal prepared using fresh local food at one of Dur- ham’s fine restaurants, a local food experience is a must for experienc- ing Durham in the summertime. Find a list of Durham farms and markets at www.durhamfarmfresh. ca .  4. Visit local restaurants and shops Attending a Pan Am or Parapan Am Games event is an experience of a lifetime -- make it an experi- ence to remember by making a res- ervation for a meal before or after the event. There are many restau- rants near our local Games venues that offer friendly atmospheres and tasty menus. While you’re at it, con- tinue to explore Durham’s down- town shops and boutiques. Wheth- er you’re looking for antiques, cloth- ing or home décor, there’s some- thing for everyone. Make a day of it in Durham.  5. Galleries Downtown Oshawa’s newest pub- lic art piece, Reverb by Noel Hard- ing, was recently unveiled right in front of the GM Centre, which dur- ing the Games will be referred to as the Oshawa Sports Centre. I am so excited that visitors and athletes will see right away that Durham is an inspiring, creative place. Our local art scene is something that truly makes me proud to call Dur- ham home. Currently at the Rob- ert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa is a special exhibit in honour of the Games called “Boxing: The Sweet Science.” This piece spans more than 100 years of the depiction of boxing. Learn more at www.rmg. on.ca . No matter where you’re exploring this month, know that your visit to local restaurants, shops and attrac- tions has big impact.

Kerri King Manager Durham Tourism Durham Tourism New name for Durham ambulance service EMS being phased out; replaced by Paramedic Services DURHAM -- There’s a new name for the Durham Region emergency medical services. It’s now known as the Region of Durham Paramedic Services and the change is being done to better reflect the services provid- ed by paramedics, Durham offi- cials say. “This change in name rec- ognizes the significant contri- bution paramedics provide to ensure the well-being of the residents of Durham Region. It is also consistent with what is occurring in other paramed- ic services throughout Ontar- io,” Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said. Richard Armstrong, chief of the Region’s Paramedic Services stated, “This new name not only more appropriately reflects the scope of our services, but also encompasses future expansion of paramedic services into non- emergency care such as commu- nity paramedicine.” The name change will be phased in over the next few years and will be reflected on both paramedics’ uniforms and the services’ vehicles. The phasing in of the new name will incur no additional costs to the service.

The issue was brought up at a recent library board meeting, simply to let the community know the situation. “It’s an awareness, at this point, and that’s really all it is,” said Kathy Williams, the Pickering Public Library’s director of public services. The rural branch in north Pickering oper- ates out of an old school house, next to Val- ley View Public School. It has been threat- ened with closure in the past due to declining usage, as well as unwieldy capital costs. Circulation, which represents physical items checked out at each branch but not online items such as e-books and magazines, dropped 33 per cent between 2013 and 2014, said Ms. Williams. This actual number is lower than the 49 per cent that was originally told to the community, but is still a cause for concern. In a 2009 facilities report, the board noted there was “no future” for rural branches and has monitored the Whitevale, Claremont and Greenwood locations for declining circulation and high capital costs since. Whitevale has since closed. A 2010 policy statement says a reduction of 20 per cent in circulation or walk-in traf- fic compared with use in the preceding two years will trigger a review on possible clo- sure. Ms. Williams said in the first part of 2015, circulation numbers went down more than 10 per cent. Walk-in numbers have dropped too. In 2013, there were 4,014 walk-ins at Green- wood, compared to 2,828 in 2014 and 1,404 from January to June 2015. Whether a review will take place will be up to the library board, and probably wouldn’t take place for another six months to a year, if numbers don’t change. The community will be made aware if that review is to take place. “There wouldn’t be any surprises,” Ms. Wil- liams said. She said usage numbers have to increase in order to keep the library’s doors open. “If you love your library, please use it,” she said. Work to the building will cost $516,000 over the next 20 years, including window replace- ments and other structural work the old build- ing will require. “But the main thing is the circulation,” said Ms. Williams. “Is there use? Is there demand? Is it worth it to put in the work?” Greenwood resident Joan Moritsugu has been using the library since 1992, along with her husband and later, their son. She has seen the library on the brink of closure several times since 1996. “I go at least once a week,” she said. She uses the computers to order books and magazines that she’d like to read, which are then shipped up to the branch, or she picks them up from the central loca- tion. She feels the library is an integral part of the community. “On the way there and on the way back, you run into neighbours, the dogs social- ize,” she said. “It’s not just a library.” She said the odd hours may have some- thing to do with the lack of use. The library is only open on Tuesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.; Wednesdays from 2:30 to 7:30 p.m.; and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. But she noted the library hours were decreased in the past in order to cut costs to keep the doors open. She understands there are budget con- straints, but she pointed out Greenwood residents pay high taxes and don’t get the same services as residents in the south do, such as transit and municipal water. “As a taxpayer I feel that even if we are a smaller audience we still have a right to that service,” she said. Nearby Mount Zion resident Christeen Chidley Wilson had similar thoughts on this issue. “We live on a farm that has been in the Wilson family since the 1850s -- think of the taxes paid -- and we do not enjoy City water, street lights, sidewalks, paved roads or snow clearance,” she said at the meeting. “We do deserve at least library service for taxes paid.” The former teacher prefers to attend her local branch over the central branch, a 35-minute drive away. She had several sug- gestions for staff to consider, in order to increase circulation again. She suggests the ‘Library Open’ sign be put outside during all operating hours; she says usually, the sign is not visible from Westney Road or out at all. She added more families are going to be moving into the area, and they’ll need a library. “Most of the Greenwood library catch- ment area is outside the Greenbelt and we can expect an increased residential popula- tion,” she said. She also suggested posting services and hours at community mailboxes, and using an electronic tracking device to more accu- rately monitor the number of walk-ins at the library. Ms. Williams said staff has already been made aware of a number of the sugges- tions, including putting the open sign clos- er to the road. Whitevale resident and former Pickering councillor Peter Rodrigues doesn’t want to see another closure. “There is a duty to provide this service equally and conveniently to everyone in the community,” he said. “Sure there are benefits in having a central library, but not everyone lives near the central library, especially, now that the Whitevale Library was closed the year before last year. Of course, if library services were more decen- tralized to Greenwood, then it would draw more neighbourhood residents.” Ward 3 Regional Councillor David Pickles said he supports keeping the library open, and feels sometimes people like the idea of using the library but they don’t get out and use it, and will often go to the main branch. “I think what we really need to do is get the usage up and keep it up if we want to keep the library open,” he said. Use it...or lose it HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • Circulation at the Greenwood library branch has decreased by 33 per cent from 2013 to 2014 and another 10 per cent from January to June 2015 • Library policy states reviews on possible closures will take place when usage is down 20 per cent over two years • Staff is expected to monitor the usage for the remainder of the year before deciding if a review is necessary PICKERING -- The Greenwood branch of the Pickering Public Library has seen a steep decline in usage over the past year.

Maybe you’ve had multiple tests, only to find out no one has any idea what you have. Maybe you’ve even been put on a drug with heavy side effects. We are Drs. Michael Gauthier and Mark Kasiban of Ajax Family Chiropractic. We’ve been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 15 years. More than 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs. This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions. Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy? Data from the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners’ Job Analysis of Chiropractic lists arm and leg neuropathy as the second most common nerve problem treated by chiropractors. Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone. The Single Most Important Solution To Your Neuropathy By using gentle techniques, We are able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away. Numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping nerve conditions... “Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments], with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.”– British Medical Journal Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments. - Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.” – JMPT 1998 “Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative. Symptoms dissipated.” –JMPT 1994 What these studies mean is that with chiropractic care, you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

Durham Region, along with nine other Ontario public health units, is partner- ing with a new harmonized heat alert and response system (HARS). The Region’s health department will notify the public of a heat warning or an extreme heat warning, based on informa- tion provided by Environment Canada. There are three public notifications -- a heat warning and an extreme heat warn- ing and ending the warning. The health department’s website will be updated daily with the current alert status, while news releases and social media updates will be issued when the alert level chang- es. “During extreme heat events there is an increase in heat-related illness and death,” said Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham Region medical officer of health. “Heat- related illnesses are largely preventable, given appropriate notification and inter- ventions.” A heat advisory, which is not part of the alerting system, would be announced for one day if the daytime temperature is 31 C or the humidex is 40 C or greater. A heat warning would be declared if, over at least two days, the daytime tem- perature is 31 C or more, the nighttime lows are more than 20 C or the humidex is 40 C or higher. Criteria for an extreme heat warning are the same as a heat warning, but the conditions would be lasting over three or more days. It could also be declared by the health department during extenuat- ing circumstances, such as a large-scale power outage. When a warning is announced, the pub- lic and community agencies can take pro- tective action. HARS will operate until Sept. 30, with a goal of full implementation in the sum- mer of 2016. For more information about Durham Region HARS, visit durham.ca/heat or contact the Environmental Help Line at 1-888-777-9613 or 905-723-3818. Extreme Heat WarningHeat WarningNoWarning Pickering library has three new services PICKERING -- With new options for eLearning, eBooks, eAudiobooks and digital magazines, three new services will enhance the way the public can use the Pickering Public Library’s collection. Library members can read the latest editions of the most popular magazines on a computer or mobile device, with full-colour, digital versions of print maga- zines including Rolling Stone, People and Food Network Magazine. An expanded collection of eBooks and eAudiobooks is now available for down- load on eReader, smart phone or tablet. All titles available can be found in the library catalogue. The service makes it easy to check out and read eBooks from your local library without having to leave your house. Also, eLearning is made simple with Lynda Library, a service that provides popular, educational video courses, allowing library users to master a new skill at their own pace. Covering the lat- est in commercial software, creative and graphic arts and business skills, each course is hosted by a recognized industry expert.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Pickering heritage building to get makeover PICKERING -- Pickering’s executive com- mittee has approved the restoration of a heri- tage building at Pickering Museum Village. Work on Oddfellows Hall will involve rein- forcing the main hall floor, repairing the plas- ter walls and, most significantly, relocating and turning the building 100 feet south from its current location at the northeast corner of the museum village. The relocation will integrate the building better with the surrounding heritage build- ings. Oddfellows Hall will be set on new structural concrete and will feature a new waterproofed basement that will be air con- ditioned to provide additional and much- needed storage space for the museum’s col- lection and artifacts. The main hall will be made available for rentals, programming and events accommodating up to 120 guests. The entire project cost is $505,863, but the net project cost is $455,545 due to an HST rebate. Jeffery G. Walland Construction Ltd. will undertake the project for $372,848. Oddfellows Hall was originally located on North Road near Whitevale and was among the many buildings that formed the original museum village in Brougham. It was relo- cated to its current location when the entire museum village was moved to Greenwood in the late 1970s. Crafts for kids at Pickering Museum Village this summer PICKERING -- Residents looking for fun things for the kids to do this summer can head up to Pickering Museum Vil- lage. On Thursdays at 10 a.m. during July and August, children can play heritage games and make a craft to take home. A new craft is featured each week.

Dr. Robert Wright is the first one to admit that. But it is an important topic -- and one that he knew read- ers would be interested in, once they dove into the story. The local Trent University history professor recent- ly became the first-ever repeat winner of the Canadian Authors Association Lela Common Award for Canadian History for his book, The Night Canada Stood Still. It explores the drama and intrigue of the 1995 referendum -- specifically the excitement and anxiety felt by Canadians on the night of Oct. 30, 1995 and how the “no” vote won by the narrowest margin. The book also looks at key players like separatist lead- er Lucien Bouchard, premier Jacques Parizeau and prime minister Jean Chretien. “The relationship between English Canada and French Canada ... it isn’t a front-burner issue. It doesn’t top lists of Canadian concerns like the economy or terrorism,” Dr. Wright explains. “Except every once in awhile -- about once a generation -- the relationship between Canada and Que- bec erupts and becomes a flashpoint. It becomes a threat to our national unity.” Dr. Wright has been a professor at Trent University Dur- ham since 1985 and mostly teaches Canadian history and foreign policy. He previously won the same award in 2008 for his book Three Nights in Havana, the first portrait of the relation- ship between Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau and Cuban president Fidel Castro. “That book had legs because those men were so interest- ing,” he says. “This book was not expected by anyone to succeed that way. The story of the referendum is not sexy, the main players and the story line are not sexy. So, it’s doubly nice to win for a book that was so demanding to write and that was thought to be so far from what public taste would have wanted.” The Canadian Authors Association Lela Common Award for Canadian History is a juried prize, which means writers and readers select the winners. Dr. Wright is in the company of past winners such as Tim Cook -- also a Trent University alumnus -- Charlotte Gray and Richard Gwyn. He says writing about the Quebec referendum was a per- sonal challenge for him as a historian, because the rela- tionship between English and French Canada is so com- plex. “I wanted to immerse myself in one of the big questions for Canadians and Canadian historians. This is the big ball of wax,” he says. With that under his belt, he is now writing a new book on an equally big topic, the relationship between Canada and the United States. Dr. Wright is the author of several books including three con- secutive national best sellers: Three Nights in Havana: Pierre Trudeau, Fidel Castro and the Cold War World; Our Man in Tehran: Ken Taylor and the Iran Hostage Crisis -- which was turned into a critically-acclaimed documentary film -- and The Night Canada Stood Still.

The choir is a program of Music for Life Institute, a registered charity, and its goal is to raise awareness of the needs of orphaned and destitute children in Africa and to raise funds for the choir. Choir manager Tina Shipp explains the members’ families are all impoverished to a certain degree and cannot afford school- ing. But their children are anxious to attend school. Each year, the program supports seven or eight children, covering their education costs through post-secondary school. Shipp says there is a bigger, overall purpose to the program: to strengthen Afri- can communities and countries, one per- son at a time. “That’s our ultimate goal, to raise future Christian leaders for these countries ... and to make an impact on the community where they’re living,” she says. “None of us are unaware of the challenges Africa is facing.” The choir’s latest tour visits Ajax and Courtice this month. The children, nine boys and nine girls aged 7 to 10, are from Uganda. The choir performs ethnic worship music in the first half of the program, singing in a number of different African dialects. In the second half of the concert, the choir sings its own arrangements of contemporary gospel and Christian music. “The program is very bright, lots of colour, there’s three different costumes,” Shipp says. “We don’t spend a long time on where the children come from but where they’re going. I think people really connect with the spirit of the children. They bring per- spective, a hopeful image.” She explains the members are chosen after attending a camp, however the kids don’t know they’re being eyed for inclu- sion in the choir. They are picked based on factors such as their ability to handle the amount of travelling involved. Each choir tour lasts for nine or 10 months and most children do one tour. In Uganda, Shipp explains, there is an exam at Grade 7 which determines which kind of secondary school the children will attend. Choir members attend a special pri- mary school and for four or five years are prepared for the exam. Shipp has seen first-hand former choir members who have graduated from college and are making a difference in their com- munities. “This education will drastically change the course of their life, not one degree but 180 degrees,” she says. And she’s learned something from them: “how to embrace a day,” live in the present. Many of us live with an eye to the past or to the future, she notes. “What they taught me was to live a day; that’s what they do so well,” she says. “That was very influential for me. I think it’s a pretty refreshing way to live.” The African Children’s Choir is mark- ing its 30th anniversary and over that time more than 1,000 members in 42 choirs have toured the world. The choir is in Ajax on July 12 at 7 p.m. at Faith Family Church, 158 Harwood Ave. S., Suite 203. And it performs at Trulls Road Free Meth- odist Church, 2301 Trulls Rd. S., Courtice, on July 22 at 7 p.m. A freewill offering is taken at the concerts. “We are so grateful to the churches that hosts us, to the people that donate,” Shipp says.

Cadenza Productions and Theatre 3x60 are staging Courting the Classics and God of Carnage, respectively, in July. How- ever in the latter case, there is no stage and the players will be surrounded by the audience. Carey Nicholson, Theatre 3x60 general manager/co-artistic direc- tor, in a press release notes “to height- en the play’s voyeuristic fly-on-the-wall feel, Theatre 3x60’s production will be staged in the round in the intimate set- ting of Scugog Memorial Public Library’s Rotary Community Room, with the audi- ence surrounding the characters as they attempt unsuccessfully to hold onto their exterior social masks.” Nicholson says it’s a challenge for the actors and for herself as director. “It is a contemporary drawing room comedy,” she says, adding there’s a lot of talking in the play, making it great for theatre in the round. “It’s a perfect play for that immediacy and intimacy.” She says rehearsals have been “inter- esting” and the format “creates a natural- istic and engaging style that really pulls the audience in.” In God of Carnage, which Nicholson describes as “a seriously funny come- dy,” two couples get together to resolve a playground incident involving their chil- dren “in a civilized manner that allows all the parties to move forward.” But it doesn’t work out that way. “There’s no doubt the playground inci- dent was nothing compared to what hap- pens between the couples,” she says. God of Carnage features Annette Stokes and Lyle Corrigan from Scugog, Amanda Smith from Pickering and Craig Martin from Oshawa. Nicholson is working with Caden- za Productions’ founder and Port Perry resident Carol Salamone, with the for- mer directing and the latter the musical director and accompanist, in A Cadenza Cabaret ... Courting the Classics. “The show is filled with many well- known classics from shows such as Guys and Dolls, Anything Goes and West Side Story, just to name a few,” Salamone says of the second work in Cadenza’s cabaret series. She says the cast is made up of “eight superb vocalists”: Lyle Corrigan and Landon Drew of Port Perry, Sarah Rora- beck of Oshawa and Nicole Strawbridge, Sam Moffatt, Andrew Smith, Mallory Smith and Sheldon Suepaul of Toronto. A Cadenza Cabaret...Courting the Clas- sics runs July 9, 10 and 11 at 8 p.m. in the Patron’s Lounge of Town Hall 1873, 302 Queen St., Port Perry. God of Carnage is at the Scugog Memo- rial Public Library, 231 Water St., Port Perry, July 17, 18, 24 and 25 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 each for each produc- tion, available by cash/cheque only at META4 Contemporary Craft Gallery on Queen Street in Port Perry or by VISA/ Mastercard through Theatre 3x60 by phoning 905-431-0977. PICKERING -- Theatre 3x60 rehearsed for its summer production of God of Carnage, running July 17,18, 24 and 25 at the Scugog Memorial Public Library. Acting out a scene were, from left, Craig Martin, Pickering’s Amanda Smith, Lyle Corrigan and Annette Stokes.

In keeping with their commitment to amateur sport in Canada, Investors Group established a bursary fund for Canada’s top high performance ath- letes. The company annually awards 20 $5,000 bursaries to assist Canada’s elite amateur athletes with the costs of training and competition. Selection crite- ria includes: athletic achievement, finan- cial need and community involvement. Wakefield’s recent sport accomplish- ments include silver at the 2015 IIHF world championship, playing 2015 with a men’s Division-3 professional team in Sweden and winning gold at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games. “The Team Investors Group Amateur Athletes Fund bursary will go a long way with helping me prepare this off season in the gym and on the ice,” said Wake- field. “The fund will give me the flexibility to reduce my work hours and focus more on my sport and getting ready for the upcoming season,” she added. “In addi- tion, it will allow me to give back to my community by volunteering for organiza- tions that I would love to help out with any way I can.” Since its inception in 2000, the Team Investors Group Amateur Athletes Fund has provided more than $1.5 million to Canadian athletes. AthletesCAN admin- isters the bursary on behalf of Investors Group. Moonlight leads Canada rugby 7s team into Pan Am Games Canada looking to defend gold medal won in 2011 in Mexico Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com TORONTO —John Moonlight could view the Pan Am Games as one of those ‘Been there, done that’ type of events. In 2011, when rugby 7s made its debut at the Games in Mexico, Moonlight was a member of Canada’s gold medal-win- ning team. Canada went a perfect 6-0-0 at the Games, including three prelimi- nary round wins, and then playoff vic- tories over Mexico 45-0 in the quarter- finals, 21-19 over the United States in the semifinals, and finally, 26-24 over Argen- tina in the championship game. But this time out, it’s different. The Games are on home soil, at BMO Field in Toronto, which will be called Exhi- bition Stadium for the duration of the event. Having more than 30 family and friends in attendance to watch will make it unique. “You can’t take for granted every chance you get to pull that jersey on and represent Canada. It’s an awesome feel- ing,” said the Pickering native on Mon- day, July 6, shortly after checking into the athletes’ village following an early morn- ing flight from British Columbia. “To be able to do it here at home it’s going to be unreal. “A lot of people, my grandma, haven’t had the chance to see me play interna- tionally due to not being able to travel. Showing everyone in Canada what we can do is going to be awesome.” Moonlight has been a stalwart on the Canadian program, named the team’s player of the year four times, and select- ed to the Dream Team as the top player at his position in the World Series. The Canadian men’s program contin- ues to make strides on the internation- al circuit, and is looking to continue its progression at the Pan Ams. Entering as the defending champions, and playing at home, adds to the intrigue. “There can definitely be that sense of pressure for sure,” said the 28-year-old graduate of Dunbarton. “We’ve played in big matches and it’s how you use that pressure, whether you use it for the good or the bad.” Moonlight said the team has two goals. The obvious is to win gold, and the other is to start to build some momentum toward hosting a leg of the World Series next year in British Columbia, where he now lives and trains. The biggest com- petition this time around, just like four years ago in Mexico, should come from Argentina and the United States, predict- ed Moonlight. The distractions that can go along with playing in your home country — media, family, friends — shouldn’t pose a prob- lem. “Our team is pretty good with worry- ing about our next task,” said Moonlight. “I’ve had family at events before and they all realize I have to worry about what I’m doing and the performance I’m putting on the field.” Preliminary games begin Saturday, July 11 and continue the morning of Sunday, July 12, with playoff and medal games later in the day. Metroland Media Group Ltd. is a signature sponsor of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay, presented by President’s Choice and OLG.
