Negligence can be defined as the failure to take reasonable care,resulting in damage or injury to another. Let’s say a property owner dug a hole in their yard and left it there, without marking the area or putting up a sign warning the hole is there.If you visit this person,trip on the hole and break your leg,the property owner can be held responsible for your injuries.As the property owner, it is their responsibility to ensure that their property is safe and to caution others of areas that could potentially be dangerous. While on the road,if a driver runs a red light and strikes your vehicle,causing you injury,that driver can be held responsible for the damages to your vehicle and for your injuries.This is because the driver was negligent in not following the laws of the road. Let’s say a dog owner forgets to latch their gate and their dog gets out,or they let their dog run around at the park without a leash, and that dog bites you,causing injury. In this case,the owner of the dog was negligent in their duties to have care and control of their dog and can be held responsible for that. However,just sustaining an injury is not cause for a lawsuit and compensation.For example,if you trip over your shoelaces on the sidewalk, you will not be able to sue the municipality for injuries that you sustained.

Ajax hospital clerk guilty of selling patients’ confidential records Shaida Bandali, 61, faces possible jail time, fine Marco Chown Oved newsroom@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- A former Rouge Valley hospital clerk has pleaded guilty to stealing thousands of patient records and selling them to financial bro- kers over the course of more than a decade. Shaida Bandali, 61, who worked at Rouge Valley from 1995-2014, accessed confidential maternity ward records, including the names and contact information of mothers as well as the names and birthdates of their babies, and sold them for between $1 and $2.75 each to salespeople of Registered Education Savings Plans, according to an agreed statement of facts read out in court Monday. While the charge isn’t a criminal offence, Ms. Bandali still faces a pen- alty of up to five years less a day in jail and a fine of up to $5 million for unregistered trading -- a breach of the Securities Act. “Ms. Bandali engaged in a prolonged campaign to exploit her employ- ment position to mine for and create investor lists solely for profit,” Ontar- io Securities Commission prosecutor Cameron Watson said in court. The OSC estimates that at least 14,450 mothers may have had their confidential patient information stolen. A $412-million class-action law- suit has since been launched. The following account is based on an agreed statement of facts read into the court record. Ms. Bandali, who admitted to selling names on and off since 2000, was caught in April 2014, when a colleague found materni- ty records in a photocopier in the cardiac rehabilitation ward of the hos- pital. Ms. Bandali’s name and employee number were noted on them as well as the date and time that she accessed the records. When confronted by superiors, Ms. Bandali told them she had been approached by Poly Edry, a former branch manager at Knowledge First Financial, and said she was paid $1 for each name and phone number of a new mother that she could provide. Ms. Edry and her husband, Gavriel, have also been charged under the Securities Act for their involvement. Their case is ongoing. The OSC Joint Serious Offences Team obtained banking records that indicated Gavriel Edry opened a bank account solely to pay Ms. Bandali for the stolen medical records and transferred more than $10,000 to her from April 2012 to June 2014. There were numerous other cash deposits and bank drafts deposited into Ms. Bandali’s account during this time, leading investigators to con- clude that she received at least $12,595.75 over the 22 months. Investiga- tors do not know how much money Ms. Bandali received in the 12 years prior to the period covered by the seized banking records. Ms. Bandali told OSC investigators that she only provided names to Edry and received only $3,000 for her services. “Ms. Bandali was lying,” said Mr. Watson in court. “Throughout her statements, Ms. Bandali consistently attempted to minimize her actions and significantly understate the payment that she received.” According to the statement of facts, Poly Edry told investigators that she started purchasing hospital records from Ms. Bandali in 2012 and paid between $2.50 and $2.75 per name, according to the statement of facts. The sales arrangement came to an end in April 2014, when Ms. Bandali sent a text to Ms. Edry stating simply: “I’m caught.” Two months later, when the Star revealed the breach, the two had a nine-minute phone call, according to phone records obtained by the OSC. The OSC has also charged a former assistant branch manager at C.S.T. Consultants Inc., Subramaniam Sulur, for purchasing private med- ical records from Ms. Bandali. Two other people -- Esther Cruz, a nurse at Scarborough Hospital, and Nellie Acar, an RESP broker -- have been criminally charged in a related case. -- Torstar news service TORONTO -- Shaida Bandali, the Rouge Valley Hospital clerk who stole maternity records and sold them to financial companies, tried to avoid a Toronto Star photographer by running back into Old City Hall where she earlier pleaded guilty to the offence. After a lengthy standoff in the woman’s bath- room and the supervision of four court officers, Ms. Bandali left the building for a waiting car, covered up with her jacket.

While a new school year begins next Tuesday, anyone who is licensed to drive a vehicle in Ontario faces stiff new penalties for a host of driving infractions. New rules of the road effective Sept. 1 of this week include changes to distracted driving laws (fines up to $490 plus three demerit points); passing active emergency vehi- cles without slowing or moving over ($490 fine); ‘dooring’ cyclists ($365 fine plus three demerit points) and passing cyclists (drivers must leave a one-metre distances when passing or face a $110 fine plus two demerits). The new rules are clearly aimed at pro- moting safety on Ontario’s roads, particu- larly the one related to distracted driving. And their implementation couldn’t come at a better time, when aware motor- ists are already on the lookout for young pedestrians who might not be as cogni- zant about the rules of the road or cau- tious about the dangers associated with aggressive or distracted driving practices. As to the substantial hike in fines (with their attendant and punitive demerit points), it is a response to the scourge of too many drivers on Ontario’s roads con- sistently travelling with one hand -- and half of their attention -- on their smart- phones. Another new law that would have provided an additional layer of safety this month for students who must use cross- walks comes into effect instead on Jan. 1, 2016. Under that updated law, drivers must yield the whole roadway to people at school crossing and pedestrian cross- walks. That means no moving forward until the road is fully cleared of people crossing on foot. So, Durham Region drivers are gen- tly reminded to be additionally cautious and courteous next week as thousands of kids hit the streets in their return to a new school year. We urge them to put away their smartphones when they’re driv- ing, pay mind to the environment around them, and slow down in local neighbour- hoods. Safety should be every motorist’s over- riding guide, but if that’s too abstract for some, consider the steep fines, loss of demerit points and potentially costly effect it might have on auto insurance pre- miums. That’s something you can put a price on. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division New rules will make driving safer in Durham Hey students, if you’re concerned about student loans, vote To the editor: I now know why most of the students at Durham College did not vote. I have been hearing that they do not vote because “they won’t do anything for us anyway” and “they are all corrupt!” Well, to the Durham College students and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology students, nothing will be done about the high cost of student loans until you get involved and vote. It is still early enough for you to form an opinion. Ron Horner Oshawa How low can one go? To the editor: I lost my husband last December and I had searched all over to get a coach lamp for his grave site. Finally, at Home Depot in Bowmanville, I found what I was looking for. Well, when my son was at his father’s grave he discovered that someone had taken the lamp. Do some people not have a conscience, stealing from the dead? I lost my daughter three years ago to MS and now my husband. This is really sad. Margaret MacDonald Oshawa Check sources before making nonsensical climate change claims To the editor: Re: ‘Put your global warming donation back in your wallet’, letter to the editor, Gra- ham Ducker, Aug. 27 Before you publish ridiculous letters such as that of Graham Ducker you should pay attention to your own statement on your editorial page that “letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifi- able facts”. A quick search of the scientific peer-reviewed literature on the Mt. Pina- tubo eruption of 1991 indicates that the amount of carbon dioxide emitted was approximately 0.05 gigatons, while human anthropogenic emissions average about 34.0 gigatons per year, roughly 680 times more per year. This is contrary to the let- ter writer’s absurd claim that the Pinatubo eruption emitted more greenhouse gases than total human activities in history. It is a great disservice to the public to publish such nonsensical statements as Mr. Ducker made. Peter Dillon, Newcastle 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 • Se p t e m b e r 3 , 2 0 1 5 10 AP Durham police applaud new road rules New fines for distracted driving among revisions Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- If the prospect of a $255 fine didn’t deter you from using your cellphone while driving, how about $490? That’s the new set fine for distracted driv- ing, one of several revisions to Ontario’s rules of the road that came into effect Tues- day, Sept. 1. While the legislation, the Mak- ing Ontario’s Roads Safer Act, addresses numerous elements of road safety, it’s the hefty hike in fines for distracted driving that is leading the way, according to police and safety advocates. “I think this is going to be a significant step forward when you look back at it in the rearview mirror five years from now,” said Brian Patterson, president and CEO of the Ontario Safety League. “I think we’ve been able to convince the government to put the weight on the activ- ity that is most dangerous to the public: dis- tracted driving.” Sergeant Glenn Courneyea of the Dur- ham police traffic services unit is also hopeful the revised penalty schedule for distracted driving will help address a prob- lem that has become more profound as smartphones have become ever more prevalent. “It has now surpassed impaired driving as the leading cause of death on our roadways,” he said. On Tuesday Durham police launched a safety blitz to coincide with the new laws, a three-day effort aimed at educating drivers about the dangers of driving while distract- ed. “The fine is secondary to us,” Sgt. Cour- neyea said. “We want to get the education aspect out there.” The Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act is a sprawling piece of legislation that could fairly be described as an omnibus bill on highway safety. It touches on numer- ous aspects of road safety, ranging from new regulations for the length of trans- port trucks, new rules for driver conduct at pedestrian crosswalks, and measures to increase safety for cyclists and tow-truck drivers. The legislation is the result of an exten- sive review of Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act and related laws. That review included input from law enforcement and safety advocacy organizations, said Ministry of Transportation spokesman Ajay Wooza- geer. “At various times over the last two years, the ministry consulted with key stakehold- ers, formally and informally, on the road safety issues underlying all of the propos- als,” he said. “The initiatives were arrived at based on reviews of jurisdictional best practices, evaluations of Ontario’s existing road safety programs, and collaboration with federal, provincial, and territorial partners as well as key road safety stakeholders to identify proven or promising interventions,” Mr. Woozageer said. New laws and fine schedules are being implemented over the next couple of years, with several taking effect Sept. 1. As of January 2016, rules for school cross- ings and pedestrian crosswalks will change, requiring drivers to yield the entire road- way to pedestrians. That means people crossing must have cleared the roadway entirely before drivers can proceed. In the fall of 2016 it’s expected that new penalties will be introduced for drug- impaired driving, to mirror those imposed on drivers impaired by alcohol. In the spring of 2017, the Province is expected to expand its program of licence plate renewal denials to drivers who fail to pay fines for offences such as speeding, improper lane changes, driving without insurance and careless driving. The legislation promises to make Ontar- io’s roads, already among the safest any- where, even safer, said Mr. Patterson. “We’ve got the safest roads in North America,” he said. “But road safety is a con- tinuous improvement operation.” He’s hopeful another party will step up in the fight against distracted driving: cell- phone companies themselves. He’d like to see phone companies introduce features to encourage drivers to turn phones off while driving -- or, at the least, take a leading role in the campaign to promote safe cellphone use. “I’d like to see greater education, and I’d like to see it funded by the cellphone indus- try,” Mr. Patterson said. “It is their custom- ers and their product that is leading to this carnage, and I think they should take responsibility.” Sgt. Courneyea agrees that while fines are one way to address driver behaviour, it’s changing that behaviour through educa- tion that will make roads safer. “One of the things we want to get through to people is that phone messages can wait,” he said. “Not watching the road for even a few sec- onds can have a huge impact on your life.” • Today’s editorial, page 6.

On Wednesday, Sept. 2, Oshawa mother Amy Liu and her three-year-old daughter were among about a dozen people who marched with neon signs outside Oshawa MPP Jennifer French’s Centre Street office to demand the government scrap the updated content. Protest signs called on the government “stay out of our bedrooms” and teach kids “math not masturbation.” Ms. Liu, who recently emigrated from China to give her daughter access to bet- ter health care and education, described feeling “so disappointed” by the new cur- riculum. “This is totally against our values,” she said. “They don’t need to learn sex at school.” On Sept. 2 the Canadian Families Alli- ance organized “mini protests” outside MPP offices in all 107 Ontario ridings. The umbrella group includes Campaign Life Coalition, GTA Parents Association, Muslim Moms Empowerment Network, My Child My Choice, Parents as First Edu- cators, Polish-Canadian Parents Associa- tion of Canada, Real Women of Canada, Thorncliffe Parents Association and Unit- ed Hindu Congress of Canada. Courtice resident Carol Switzer clutched a copy of the children’s book Heather Has Two Mommies as she marched, saying it is an example of how young children will be taught about “lesbianism. “We don’t want our children indoctri- nated with material crafted by a pedo- phile,” she said, referring to former Ontar- io education minister Benjamin Levin, who was recently sentenced to three years in prison for child-porn offences. Oshawa mother of three Amy Marsh wasn’t aware of the new curriculum until she happened upon the protestors, but said she was “pretty shocked and wor- ried” after scanning the literature they handed her. “It should be the parent’s job to teach their kids about sex, not the school,” she said. Ontario’s updated sex ed curriculum was unveiled in February and will be implemented in schools across the prov- ince this fall. The curriculum used up to this point dates back to 1998 and is the oldest in Canada. In addition to teaching proper names for anatomy in Grade 1 and sexual ori- entation in Grade 3, the new document will address reproduction and puberty in Grade 5 and sexually transmitted infec- tions in Grade 7. This week, the Ontario government released a new ad for the sex ed curric- ulum. It shows youth being confront- ed with different situations, including a child looking at two grooms atop a wed- ding cake and a boy leading a teenage girl toward a bedroom at a house party. The tag line is “Our kids have questions. The sex ed and health curriculum can help.” Visit www.ontario.ca/hpe to view the new curriculum. OSHAWA -- Robin Traviss, a former educational assistant with the Durham District School Board, and her daughter Selina Traviss, a recent high school graduate, were part of a group protesting the new sex ed curriculum being implemented this fall.

SHOP THEBAY.COM Durham cops team up with UOIT to modernize interviewing techniques Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- When it comes to police training, good interview skills are one of the best tools an officer has at his or her disposal. “It’s not seen as a sexy part of policing, but doing a good solid interview is usually what moves the case along, or solves it,” says Dr. Joseph Eastwood, a forensic psy- chology researcher at UOIT. He recently teamed up with Dur- ham Regional Police Service on a pilot project to help local cops mod- ernize their interview techniques, using the “PEACE” model, which focuses on preparing well for inter- views, making the subject comfort- able and asking open-ended ques- tions. Dr. Eastwood says there is gener- ally a lack of good interview training for police officers in North America -- it’s a skill they’re expected to pick up as they go along. Many Canadian and American police services approach suspect interviews using the Reid Tech- nique, named after American poly- graph expert John E. Reid. It involves assessing body lan- guage and -- if a suspect is thought to be lying -- using interrogation to get an admission of guilt. Too often, experts say, that leads to interviews that are confrontational and don’t get the desired result. In some cases, there is concern that aggressive techniques can lead to false confessions. “The new way is much more about information gathering, it’s not so in-your-face,” Dr. Eastwood says of the PEACE model, which was developed in the U.K. in the 1990s and first adopted in Canada by the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary in 2008. Many other police services are now following suit, including the RCMP, which recently introduced a new interview standard influenced by the PEACE model. So far, five local officers have received PEACE training, including Detective Paul Mitton, who is the DRPS polygraph examiner. He says the new approach is help- ful for interviews with suspects, as well as vic- tims and witnesses. “Interviews are something the police do every day. Maybe not in a formal setting, but on the side of the road after an accident, or in a store after a clerk has been robbed,” he explains. “Good interview skills are just as impor- tant as use of force, or other types of training.” With any interview, Det. Mitton says, the goal is to get “pure” information. That could mean putting a traumatized crime victim at ease to help them unlock memories of what happened, or allowing a suspect to talk without interrup- tions. Dr. Eastwood says the partnership is a great example of collaboration between academics and front-line workers. “I have the science, they have the experience. It’s a great partnership.” 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 • Se p t e m b e r 3 , 2 0 1 5 16 AP FACTORY MATTRESS 1650 BAYLY ST., PICKERING Brock & Bayly (West of Brock) HOURS: MON-FRI 10AM-7PM, SAT:10:30-6PM DON’T PAY TILL 2016 O.A.C.

Advertising Feature On Saturday, August 8th, Sundial Homes hosted their third annual Summerfest at the park in Mulberry Meadows, a master planned community bordering the Carruthers Creek ravine. “More than 700 families have moved in,” said Elena Reid from Sundial Homes. “We thought it would be a great way to give back to the community and a good opportunity for our new homeowners to meet their neighbours.” Summerfest was held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and featured games, prizes, a jumping castle, face painting, balloon animals, a craft table and more. Residents also enjoyed a BBQ lunch and ice cream. Mulberry Meadows is nestled in the rolling meadows and parklands bordering Carruthers Creek and a community pond, yet is conveniently located close to many of the amenities that the Town of Ajax has to offer. Schools are already in place, and with the convenience of the sports complex, the community centre and parks, there are endless opportunities to play. Errands are a breeze with major shopping centres nearby. Entertainment is always within reach, whether it’s getting lost in a book borrowed from the local public library, enjoying the latest blockbuster on the big screen, or sampling exquisite foods at one of the many restaurants in the community. Commuting is also easy from Mulberry Meadows, with public transit and easy access to Highway 401. In late 2015, the Highway 407 expansion through Ajax and into Oshawa is scheduled to open, along with Highway 412 that will connect the new 407 expansion to the 401, which will greatly increase commuting convenience. With all the amenities surrounding the community, first-time homebuyers, families, and empty-nesters are all flocking to become residents of Mulberry Meadows. Sundial Homes has a number of homes available, which features 30’, 36’ and 40’ single detached homes. With house sizes up to 2,822 sq. ft., there’s a design that’s perfect for you and your family.

Celebrate the fall harvest at annual Durham festival Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS Pickering Learning to play an instrument offers so many benefits above and beyond pure enjoyment. Numerous studies have shown that learning to play an instrument will help your child increase their brain power; develop important academic skills; create mental images, which is the basis of mathematics and analytic thinking; sharpens memory skills and helps with reading. Music lessons also help develop physical skills, such as coordination and motor skills; cultivate social skills; learn patience and discipline; and boost self- esteem. Group lessons are an incredibly effective way for children to learn. Not only will they have more time to learn with their instruments - an hour for a group instead of the typical half an hour for a private lesson - but they get to play together. The students can learn from each other and help each other along the way. Pickering Piano & Guitar is now accepting new students into their group lesson programs. They offer theory classes and group classes in piano and guitar. Every student will start with prepatory books and all students have the option to switch to the Royal Conservatory of Music program when they are ready. Teacher Soula Hardy has been teaching for 20 years. She is experienced with offering both group and private lessons and has also worked with children for years, helping them experience the joy of music. She has a music studio in her home where the lessons take place. It’s a very music-oriented home and she has a variety of guitars, pianos and keyboards. The keyboards are top quality Roland keyboards that have the characteristics of a real piano. With 88 keys that have the same weight as real piano keys, these keyboards also produce the same hammer action sound and feel as an acoustic piano. Students have the opportunity to participate in two recitals a year. Every December, the students can take part in the Joyful Noise concert held at Pickering City Hall. The Spring recital takes place at the Pickering Public Library. There are no additional teaching fees for the rehearsals or recitals. The lesson rates are very affordable and are based on a monthly average spread over the 10 months of lessons. Students pay $75 a month and the rate stays the same month to month. For more information and to sign up for lessons, call (905) 837-2659 or email soulahardy@gmail.com.

B&W Copies 4 Cents No Minimum Cops attend after complaint about youths drinking at Durham party OSHAWA -- A complaint about suspect- ed underage drinking prompted police to attend a house party in Oshawa Sunday night. No arrests were made and no charges were laid as a result of the call, at a home on Conant Street at about 11:30 p.m. Aug. 30, said Durham police Sergeant Bill Calder. “There was nothing that showed any criminal activity,” Sgt. Calder said, adding the ini- tial complaint was about sus- pected drinking among under- age attendees. Four police cruisers attend- ed the scene and party-goers were compliant when asked to disperse, Sgt. Calder said. Cops called in taxis so no one who’d been drinking would drive from the scene. “We tend to ask for cabs to attend if we think someone’s had too much to drink,” he said. “We do what we can to get them home.” *Limitedtimeoffer.Availableateligibleandparticipatingdealersonly.Somerestrictionsapply.Pleaseseeparticipatingdealerfordetails.Financing subjecttocreditapprovalofqualifiedbuyersbyauthorizedBobcatfinanceproviders.Theunittradedinmustbe12yearsoldornewer.Trade-inoffer goodforNEW,neverbeforesoldBobcatskid-steerloadersandall-wheelsteerloadersinUSandCanadaonly.Thetradeallowancerebateisonaone toonebasis.BobcatCompanyreservestherighttodiscontinuethisprogramatanytimewithoutpriornotice.Bobcat®andtheBobcatlogoare trademarksofBobcatCompany.15-B196 OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY Authorized Bobcat Dealer CALL YOUR LOCAL BOBCAT SALESMAN Bobcat of Toronto 241 Deerhurst Drive •Brampton, ON L6T 5K3 416-697-4172 •www.bobcattoronto.com .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY .EON DSNGIH TNGITT GERO FP SHOPOTS-E ONRUOY Mentionthisad andget 10% O F F onYOURNEXTBOBCAT PARTSORDER TACBOT BXER NUOY REDR OSTRPA OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC OTNOOR TF OTABOBC ds aihn toitneM EAST Steve Sarginson 416-451-5329 Ajax, Pickering,Uxbridge, Peterborough,Lindsay, Kawarthas, East Gwillimbury EAST CENTRAL Stu Johnson 647-668-3229 East Toronto, Markham, Stouffville, Scarborough, King City, Aurora, Newmarket WEST CENTRAL Bob Bell 647-668-8405 Brampton, Northeast Etobicoke, Vaughan CENTRAL Gino Cervo 416-909-6597 York, Metro, Vaughan, Richmond Hill WEST Jake Gowland 647-668-5257 Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke The largest stock of Bobcat ®equipment and parts in Eastern Canada0%$2,50060months* FORUP TO CAD Tradeallowance on new Bobcat compact track loaders and excavators*for your used Bobcat loader* Toastmasters meetings start in Pickering Sept. 14 PICKERING -- Pickering Powerhouse Toastmasters is starting up weekly meet- ings on Mondays beginning on Sept. 14.

And it seems he always has been. The hip hop artist, 29, who lives in Courtice but is a proud Ajax native, is setting up shop in his new headquar- ters on Bayly Street in his hometown. The space is part recording studio, part rehearsal space and part office as Jack- son’s already envisioning the day when he’ll be, uh, a little too old to take the stage and will be spending most of his time in the office. Having your first child (Mya Inez, seven months old, with his wife, Christine) will make you think of the future. “When I’m 40 years old, it’s not going to be cool to be a rapper,” he says. “When I’m 40 years old, I want to be handling the business. You have to be prepared; you have to have a plan. That’s what all of this is.” Jackson says the experience of being a dad has given him “a whole new respect for women who have children and how much work it is.” He enjoys being a father and wants to be around to see Mya grow up. We spoke with Jackson three years ago and he told us about the studio which, at that time, was to be located in Pickering. He’s immensely pleased to have his HQ in Ajax. His first studio, he notes, was in a friend’s house. His second was in Oshawa. “This is our Front Street,” he says of Bayly Street. “This is literally where we’re all from.” The 9-0-Nickel Music Factory is a place where an artist can come in, record music, have it mastered and even shoot a video. Jackson says he has 26 clients and two engineers working out of the place. Not that it was easy to set up shop. Jackson says it took nine months. When landlords found out he was a rapper, they backed away. Jackson isn’t bitter; he knows that’s the kind of reaction most have to hip hop and rappers, with con- notations of violence and drugs. He’s been a persistent fellow since he started in the business 10 years ago. He opened a show at the former Big Sexy in Oshawa after repeatedly bugging the owner. Flash forward 10 years and Jack- son, who has always been on bills with other artists, did his first headlining solo tour with a live band earlier this year. Sixteen shows in places such as Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. Extra pressure being the headliner? “You don’t want to suck,” he replies, grinning. Jackson says he purposely played smaller venues. “I wanted the promoter to sell out the venue,” he says. “We sold out probably exactly half the shows ... and the rest were really good. We had it down to a science. “I don’t have a radio hit (and which Canadian rapper, other than Classi- fied or Drake has one, he says). This is our way of doing it. Go put in the work. If radio’s not going to play me, there’s other ways to reach them.” Jackson released his third full-length earlier this year, Since I was 16, featur- ing collaborations with artists including JRDN, YG and Mazze. “The album’s doing really well,” he says, noting it climbed the music charts in Canada, is making some noise in the U.S. and the track Prom Night, with Riff Raff, has had more than one million online plays. Jackson says he has 200 songs that haven’t come out yet on his computer and he’s constantly writing. But he’s even more excited about his HQ. In his younger years, Jackson says he thought making it in the music busi- ness was easy: you just write a rap tune, perform it and everybody will love it and want it. It rarely happens that way, he’s learned, so Jackson has expanded his focus to other artists who can ben- efit from his experience and resources. It’s given him a burst of energy, not to be underestimated as he’s known as a tire- less worker. “First and foremost for us is the music,” he says. “But the business is the back- bone.” Check him out at peterjacksonmusic. ca and on iTunes. AJAX -- Peter Jackson is an Ajax native, Courtice resident and a hip hop artist with deep connections in the music community. He’s released a new album, Since I was 16, and has opened a new studio in Ajax. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland ‘When I’m 40 years old, I want to be handling the business.

Some years back, they were friendly competitors, running comedy nights at two different venues in Whitby, Jimmy O’Toole’s and Stuttering John’s. “We got to know each other through that and we kept in touch and we talk- ed about comics and who we liked,” says Fylak. “We have this opportunity to do this show in Whitby booking much bigger acts, essentially a comedy club, on week- ends. It became a natural thing for us to collaborate.” So far so good, he says, noting open- ing weekend last month featured Mike MacDonald and they were lucky to kick things off with him. This weekend, Sept. 4/5, features headliner Gavin Stephens, with Whitby comedian Dave Paterson hosting. Fylak says more Durham comics are booked to host and perform, including Whitby’s Matt Henry Sept. 11 and 12, Kris Bonaparte from Ajax Sept. 18 and 19 and Whitby’s Kyle Lucey and Ryan Hillis on Sept. 18/19 and Sept. 25, respectively. “A lot of what we want to do is promote the comics,” he says. “A lot of clubs will promote themselves; we want to help the comics as well.” Fylak says the format is to have the host do a roughly 15-minute set, followed by a special guest for 20 minutes, with the host returning for a few minutes to segue into the headliner, who has the stage for 40 minutes. LIVEact in the past has featured some well-known comics, such as Gerry Dee, and while Fylak says nothing is definite, “we have a few big ones coming before the end of the year.” Back to the first question, and Fylak says no, he and Ivancicevic are not look- ing to book a certain kind of comic who does a certain kind of comedy. “It’s a varied group,” he says. However, there will be nights of par- ticular interest to, for example, the uni- versity crowd, the 40-50 crowd and the ladies. O’Gorman, for example, is “more of the college crowd kind of guy,” while Graham may especially appeal to an older crowd as Fylak says “if you like Bob Newhart you’ll like Todd Graham.” Fylak says there are a few reasons they chose LIVEact Theatre. “I like the venue because it’s a clean place,” he says. “My mom would certainly come to this place and she’s one of my biggest sup- porters.” Beyond their Whitby connections, Fylak says LIVEact works for them because it seats 200, has a lot of parking and they are allowed to use its box office. “You’re brought in to a table, you’re seated, you’re treated well,” he says. “It’s just taking it to a bit of a higher level.” Visit Premier Comedy at www.pre- miercomedy.ca or on facebook.

It’s go time WHITBY -- Brenden Browne of the Pickering Panthers, right, tried to hold off Whitby Fury’s Ryan Porter during pre-season play in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. The Panthers lost the game 4-3 in overtime and finished the exhibition season with one win in six games, a 4-2 decision over the Lindsay Muskies on Sunday, Aug. 30. The Panthers open the regular season on Friday, Sept. 4 in Lindsay, with the home opener to follow a week later against Newmarket. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Gold in mixed relay, silver in 50m backstroke SINGAPORE – Javier Acevedo of Ajax won a silver medal with a personal best time on Friday, Aug. 28 at the FINA world junior swimming championships. In the men’s 50-metre backstroke, Michel Andrew of the United States took the title in a meet record 25.13 with Acevedo second in 25.46 and Mohamed Samy of Egypt and Robinson Molina of Venezuela tied for third in 25.54. It was a first individual international medal for Acevedo. “I touched the wall properly which helped get the silver in a very tight race,” he said in a press release. “It was very important because I know that I will have more out speed the next time I do it. I made sure I was mentally prepared before the race. I was confident.” Acevedo also helped Canada finish fifth in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay with Markus Thormeyer of Delta, B.C., Samuel Bélanger of Quebec City and Carson Olaf- son of Chilliwack, B.C. A day earlier, Acevedo was part of Cana- da’s gold-medal performance in the 4x100m mixed freestyle relay, clocking a record time of 3:27.71, more than a second better the previous mark set by Australia in 2013. Toronto’s Penny Oleksiak, Kelowna’s Taylor Ruck and Thormeyer were also part of the team. Canada ended the competition with 12 medals (three gold, six silver and three bronze). It placed second in the women’s medal count and fourth overall. It’s Cana- da’s best showing at the junior worlds since a 15-medal intake in 2011. Canada won two medals in 2013. Acevedo swims home with two medals from world juniors AJAX -- Javier Acevedo, shown here at the Canadian swimming trials, made a splash at the world junior championships. Photo by Chris Tanouye Babut leads Durham United FC to another soccer win DURHAM — Hollie Babut remained hot for the Durham United Football Club, scoring twice in a 3-0 League1 Ontario victory over Sanjaxx Lions. Laura Gosse opened the scoring in the 50th minute for the league-leading Durham club, while Babut added a pair late. Nora Abo- lins registered the clean sheet. “Hollie Babut was our MVP,” said Dur- ham head coach, Tony LaFerrerra, in a press release. ”She scored two goals and had one assist.” Both teams are coping with the departure of university players, and the challenges of integrating their depth and players who will be relied upon to start the following season. “We had six new players in the squad,” said LaFerrerra. “It took a while to get them comfortable. But after we scored the first goal it seemed that everybody gained confidence. “We have a lot of work to do,” he added. “The result is not going to stop us from work- ing hard in training and preparing for the sec- ond season.” Babut, from Oshawa, scored three goals in an earlier 5-1 win over ProStars FC.

So, while he had the briefest break possi- ble following the Oshawa Generals’ Memo- rial Cup win in May, the general manager and newly minted vice-president is eager to roll up his sleeves and get back to work, even though he recognizes a repeat is about as likely as Cole Cassels returning for an over- age year. After an active summer that saw him get promoted, hire a new coach, make a couple of trades, sign a handful of draft picks, add two players in the import draft and, yes, find time for a vacation, Hunt and company are back to work Sept. 1 with the start of the OHL club’s training camp at the General Motors Centre. “It’s been a little bit busy, but it’s been nice to relive those memories and talk about it at length,” Hunt says of the team’s fifth Memori- al Cup championship. “It’s been exciting and now there’s exciting new challenges ahead. There are some fresh faces coming in here and it’s exciting to get going.” The most important fresh face is that of Bob Jones, the new head coach who was hired away from the Windsor Spitfires, where he was an assistant. That proved to be a successful formula the last time for the Generals, as D.J. Smith came over the same way and had three tremen- dous seasons, culminating in the Memorial Cup triumph and his subsequent hiring as an assistant with the Toronto Maple Leafs. While Hunt recognizes he has big shoes to fill with Smith’s departure, he feels Jones is up to the task after spending eight years with the Spitfires and, like Smith, winning two Memorial Cups. “I think they’re cut from the same cloth,” Hunt said, while adding, “The biggest thing is I don’t want Bob Jones to be D.J. Smith. Bob has to be Bob Jones and do things his own way. Are some of those things going to be similar to the way D.J. did things? Yeah, they probably will because they’ve spent a lot of time together, but without a doubt Bob has to put his own stamp on the team. It’s his team going forward.” The team Jones is inheriting will, inevita- bly, be far less talented than last year’s club, which was loaded with veteran players. Gone, for certain, are graduated defence- men Josh Brown, Dakota Mermis and Chris Carlisle, along with several other would- be overagers who were either traded, have moved on or are likely to be starting their minor pro careers: Cassels, Tobias Lindberg, Michael McCarron, Hunter Smith, Brent Pedersen, Bradley Latour, Aidan Wallace, Will Petschenig and Sonny Hertzberg. On the camp roster, but still question marks, are forwards Michael Dal Colle and Matt Mistele and goalie Ken Appleby. Dal Colle, the fifth overall draft pick of the New York Islanders in 2014, must return to the Generals if he can’t crack the NHL club, while Mistele and Appleby, a year older, could play in the minor pro ranks if signed by the Los Angeles Kings and New Jersey Devils, respectively, the teams they will be audition- ing with. If he can get all three of those players back, they would be the glue that holds the team together until such time Hunt decides the direction leading up to the trade deadline. “We did everything for last year’s team,” said Hunt, who traded away several high draft picks and prospects in compiling that roster. “Going forward with this year’s team, we’ll play it out by ear, but we are going to be younger and there may be some older play- ers moved out to other teams as the year goes on, but certainly we don’t have anything pre- judged. We’ll let the first 10, 12 games play out and then see how our younger players develop and see where we’re at.” Fresh faces from the player ranks include 2015 draft picks Jack Studnicka, Kyle MacLean and Sullivan Sparkes, import picks Lukas Lofquist and Misha Moor, and over- age defenceman Jacob Graves, acquired in a trade with Kingston. Expected to be returning from last year’s roster are goalie Jeremy Brodeur, defence- men Mitchell Vande Sompel, Stephen Des- rocher, Stephen Templeton, Daniel Robert- son and Riley Stillman, and forwards Antho- ny Cirelli, Sam Harding, Joe Manchurek, Kenny Huether and Michael Turner. Although Hunt acknowledges the Gener- als are unlikely to contend for another title, he expects the team to play the same brand of hard-nosed, defence-first hockey that was consistent under Smith’s watch. “I don’t have an idea of what the record will be, but I certainly have an idea of how we’re going to play,” he said. “Our principles and values as an organization haven’t changed. A lot of guys who have been great Oshawa Generals have moved on, but just because the faces will be different doesn’t mean the team will be different with how we approach the game.” The Generals have a five-game exhibition schedule including games in Bowmanville Sept. 8 against the Niagara IceDogs and Sept. 19 in Ajax against the Hamilton Bulldogs. A busy start to the regular season will see Oshawa playing in Guelph Sept. 25 and Hamilton Sept. 26 before hosting the North Bay Battalion Sunday, Sept. 27 at the General Motors Centre.

In the 91 events the 25 skaters compet- ed in, the club earned a record 44 medals. Demonstrating their talents in freeskate, dance, music interpretation, spins and jumps, the club earned 12 golds, 20 silvers and 12 bronze, as well at 14 skaters who just missed out on the podium with fourth- place finishes. That’s a significant increase to last year’s numbers when 18 of the skat- ers had 20 podium finishes overall. In addition, as the skaters competed, they accumulated points, according to where they finished. The Pickering Skating Club placed fourth out of all clubs that partici- pated. The Pickering Skating Club ranked eighth out of 45 club’s last year. Christina Hazell earned seven medals and Arline Killam earned five in the adult cat- egories, Natalia Savor, Stephanie Hinter- meister and Holly Branigan each earned four medals, and Sara Currie, Emily Weight- man and Phoebe Gatsis each earned three medals. Owen Weightman earned his first medal ever, having just moved up to the STARskate level from the Canskate pro- gram. The team trains out of the Pickering Rec- reation Complex’s Delaney Rink from Sep- tember to May.

Peacefully at Hillsdale Estates, Oshawa, Betty died with family at her side. Betty was predeceased by her husband Alonzo Benedict (Bud); her parents, John Philip MacDonald and Mary Evelyn O'Brien; and her brothers Neil and Kenneth MacDonald. Betty is survived by her three children; Betty Ann Campbell (Bill) of Ajax, Kenneth Richardson (Margaret Trites) of Ottawa, and Eleanor Johnson (Graham) of Phoenix, AZ, together with seven grandchildren, two step grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, 6 step-great- grandchildren, and three step-great-great- grandchildren. Born in Lower Newcastle, NB, Betty attended school in Lower Newcastle, Loggieville, and Newcastle, NB. Following Normal School, she taught school in a number of locations in rural NB, before settling in Campbellton, NB, where she taught from 1946 to 1977. When she retired, she and Bud moved to Ajax, ON to be closer to family. Betty's life was a reflection of her love for her family and her commitment to her Catholic faith. St. Francis of Assisi said: "Preach the Gospel and if necessary use words." Betty used few words, but her actions spoke volumes. She attended daily Mass, taught Confirmation classes, was a lector, a Eucharistic minister, a visitor to Ballycliffe Nursing Home, and a founding member of the Manresa Prayer Group. Betty touched many lives with her love and compassion; she will be greatly missed. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the staff of Orchard Villa Retirement Home and Hillsdale Estates Longterm Care Facility for their compassionate care of Betty. Friends will be received at the ACCETTONE FUNERAL HOME, 384 Finley Ave., Ajax, Ontario on Tuesday, September 1, 2015 from 6:00 PM till 9:00 PM. Funeral Mass to be held on Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at St. Bernadette's Catholic Church, 21 Bayly St E, Ajax, Ontario L1S 1P2 at 10:30 AM. Interment Resurrection Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to St Vincent de Paul, St Bernadette Council, 21 Bayly St E, Ajax, Ontario L1S 1P2 would be appreciated.

Stanton’s boundless enthusiasm for the way in which exercise and healthy living can transform lives is palpable in his motivating, inspiring talks. He also speaks with candor about the challenges and triumphs he’s experienced as an entrepreneur. A three-kilometre run with his sons in 1981 was the catalyst for the then out-of-shape, overweight, Stanton to realize he had to change his life. An executive who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day,he began secretly running , and soon went on to run over 60 marathons, hundreds of road races, and numerous triathlons, including the Hawaiian World Championship Ironman competition.

Segall Award of Merit (which recognized his significant contribution to the prevention of cardiovascular disease and the promotion of cardiovascular health in Canadians); and being bestowed with the Award for Excellence in Health Promotion from The Canadian Medical Association. He is also a Member of the Order of Canada and the Hon. Lt. Col. of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment. Most recently,Stanton was inducted into the Canadian Retail Hall of Fame. The author of eight books, Stanton is regularly featured on CBC,CTV,Global Television, theNational Post,The Globe and Mail, and numerous radio and television programs across Canada and the United States.
