Constable Ian Cameron was charged Friday, Sept. 4, with driving while exceeding the legal blood alcohol limit, Durham police said Wednes- day. He has been suspended from duty with pay. An investigation began after an officer attended a residence in Oshawa shortly after 10 p.m. Sept. 4 to take a report of a teenager being threatened on social media, police said. The homeowner later called police and expressed concern the officer showed signs of intoxication, police said. Upon return to the station the officer was given a breath test and failed. He was subsequently charged with driving while exceeding the legal blood alcohol limit, an allegation related to his use of a police vehi- cle, Durham police spokesman Dave Selby con- firmed. Const. Cameron, 43, was reinstated as a front- line cop last spring after a lengthy fight to keep his job. Hired by the service in 2004, he was charged with assault and weapons offences after a con- frontation with a fellow cop at the Bowmanville police station in September 2009. The two offi- cers engaged in a physical tussle during which Const. Cameron pulled his gun and pressed it against the other cop’s stomach. He pleaded guilty in 2010 to assault and was granted an absolute discharge, in part because of a diag- nosis of post traumatic stress disorder. During a subsequent disciplinary tribunal the Durham police service sought to have Const. Cameron, who had been on paid suspension since 2009, fired. In May 2014 he was reinstated as a frontline officer, although he was demoted to second-class constable for two years and ordered to undergo additional training. Const. Cameron will be suspended with pay as his crim- inal charge makes its way through the courts, and any dis- ciplinary action would be launched at the conclusion of that process, Mr. Selby said. “That’s the way we have to do it under the legislation we’re currently dealing with,” Mr. Selby said. Const. Cameron is scheduled to appear in court in Oshawa Sept. 25. DURHAM -- Durham police officer Ian Cameron was charged Friday with driving while exceeding the legal blood alco- hol limit. He was suspended with pay. It’s his second suspension after he was charged with assault and weapons offences in 2009. 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 1 0 , 2 0 1 5 3 AP DONATE ITTO KIDNEY CAR Proceedsbenefit TheKidneyFoundationofCanada • FastFreeTowing • TaxReceipt(min.$300) • EnvironmentallyFriendlyProgram • ProgramAcceptsVehiclesofAnyAge Visit www.kidneycar.ca or call 1.866.788.2277 Has y our c ar r eached the end of the r oad? 3 LOCATIONS FOR QUALITY & CHOICE AJAX OPTICAL AJAX OPTICAL PICKERING OPTICAL 905-683-2888 905-683-7235 905-839-9244 56 Harwood Ave. S., Ajax Plaza Heritage Market Square, 145 Kingston Rd.

DURHAM REGION -- The end of another week of durhamregion.com’s informal poll of voter prefer- ences leading up to the Oct. 19 election shows the NDP continues to lead by a wide margin. Both the federal Liberals and Conserva- tives have fallen considerably in the last week in an ongoing infor- mal poll here at durhamregion.com to determine voter intentions. In week five, Tom Mulcair’s NDP continues to lead with 98 per cent of decided voters. The Liberals picked up a paltry two per cent, while the Conservatives and Green Party didn’t register any new support. There is still nearly seven weeks to go until election day, so those numbers could change considerably over the course of this long election campaign. Our unscientif- ic poll will be updated each week. Keep following our poll up to election week and share the results with friends on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media. We need to place a priority on ending the high levels of unemployment among Can- ada’s youth, while bringing in foreign work- ers as future Canadians -- not as temporary and vulnerable workers. I support the Green Party conclusion that the Temporary Foreign Worker Program is not fixable. See also at Coming Friday The program as it currently is being applied needs to be brought back to its original purpose. This has impacted local jobs in Oshawa; it is a concern as this program is growing dramatically and creating higher unemployment for Canadians. Jobs should be filled with this program when there are no Canadian workers to be found. A full review of this program must be set into place. durhamregion.com -- Tito Dante Marimpietri, Liberal candidate Oshawa riding Declined to provide an answer.

Lindsey Narraway, supervisor of Pickering Animal Services, says a woman was bitten in the leg by a black and white male papillon on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at around 10 a.m., near Millen- nium Square at the bottom of Liverpool Road in Pickering. Ms. Narraway says the owner of the dog provided false information and the Region and the City are now looking to contact the owner. “We’re not planning to take the dog away, we’re not planning to euthanize. We’re just wanting to make sure this incident doesn’t happen again,” says Ms. Narraway. Anyone with information is asked to contact Pickering Animal Services by calling 905-427-0093 or sending an e-mail to animalservices@pickering.ca. All information will be kept confidential. The owner is described as female, with medium-length, sandy brown hair, seen walking two dogs - a small white dog and the black and white male papillon. Nella Correia, the Region’s senior pub- lic health inspector for the rabies con- trol program, says it’s important to con- firm the vaccination status of a dog in the case of a bite to make sure there is no risk of rabies. Residents should report all animal bites and scratches by calling 1-888-777- 9613. PICKERING — This black and white papil- lon is similar to the one that is accused of biting a woman in Pickering.

Durham police traffic safety blitz results in more than 50 tickets for distracted driving Campaign coincided with new provincial legislation DURHAM -- A three-day traffic safety blitz targeting distracted drivers in Durham has resulted in 53 traffic tickets being issued to drivers using cell-phones. The campaign was conduct- ed by Durham police traf- fic services branch in partner- ship with the OPP’s Whitby detachment from Sept. 1 to 3, to coincide with recent changes in provincial legislation. Officers visited every division in the region during the safety blitz and used a plainclothes officer as a spotter. Statistics have shown that dis- tracted driving has been a con- tributing factor in 35 per cent of the serious-injury and fatal col- lisions in Durham. Recent amendments to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act and regulations under the Provin- cial Offences Act include a fine of $300 to $1,000 and a set fine of $400 for distracted driving infractions, as well as a $90 vic- tim surcharge and three demerit points upon conviction. Novice drivers convicted for distracted driving receive a 30-day licence suspension. Police are reminding drivers to keep their eyes on the road at all times to ensure their own safety and the safety of others. Back ToSchoolSEAT SALE!

Participation in local events, town hall meetings and candidate debates allow the electorate to size up their candidates and make informed decisions. It appears most Canadians understand this concept, that is, with the exception of our prime minister, Stephen Harper. Conservatives running in the federal elec- tion have been advised not to attend all-can- didates’ meetings or speak to reporters dur- ing the campaign. It seems the PC candidates have taken this to heart and have all but dis- appeared ... just read the news. Where are they? In addition, Harper had issued gag orders for media attending his events. As of Aug. 11, the Tories have dropped the gag order at his campaign events, but they are still vet- ting who can and cannot attend. Is this how a democracy works? It doesn’t stop there. For the past four years Harper has not felt the need to speak to any of us about what he is doing and why he is doing it. His government is cloaked in secrecy and arrogance. And now, he’s on the news daily -- talking to us like we are best friends. Are we really that gullible? I am not Conserva- tive, nor Liberal, nor NDP. I am for the party that appears to be the best choice to govern at the time. Given the options available and the current circumstances it is clear that we need a change. It is also clear that the Conserva- tives need a time out to regroup and get their house in order. I can’t vote for a candidate whose hands have been tied by their leader. I’m surprised the Conservative candidates lack the integrity to stand up against Harp- er. Start attending local debates -- talk to the media -- engage the people. This is a democ- racy. It’s time for all of us to stand up and be counted. Rick Gaboury Why is the media ignoring the carbon tax? To the editor: I cannot understand for the life of me why all media are being so outwardly mum on a real- ly important issue that could keep voters from making a terribly huge mistake in choosing a federal leader. That being, if the NDP or Lib- erals win, we’ll be whacked in Ontario with a provincial carbon tax grab on top of a federal carbon tax grab. Each one separately would raise the price of absolutely everything we pay for. Only a total fool would find this acceptable. Wake up people; it’s HST or more times three for no real taxpayer benefit. Rupert Cameron A growing migrant crisis seemingly did little to spur the Harper government to expeditious action in fully addressing the Syrian refugee crisis until a single photograph of a dead boy -- with a Canadian connection -- went globally viral last week. It was that one heartbreaking image of a little boy’s limp body lying face down on a Turkish beach that prompted Ajax MP and Citizenship Minister Chris Alex- ander to suspend his re-election campaign last Thursday. Since then, Mr. Alexander and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have spoken daily about accelerating the accep- tance of more Syrian migrants, but main- tain that alone is not a solution to the crisis. Let’s be clear: Mr. Alexander is not responsible for the death of little Alan Kurdi, the Syrian-Kurdish child whose photo circled the globe last week, or that of his family members. However, as citizenship minister, the man ultimately responsible for the Cana- dian government’s role in accepting and resettling migrants and refugees, he rep- resents what many Canadians perceive as the cold, calculating, dispassion- ate face of the Harper government. Mr. Alexander’s move to suspend his elec- tion campaign in a tight race with Lib- eral Mark Holland was a clear indica- tion that the Conservatives were fully aware of the potential damage this might do to the Conservative prospects in the riding. Sadly, Mr. Alexander did himself no favours during an appearance on a CBC news panel on the issue last week in which he came off as being out of touch and insensitive to the crisis, while trying to lay the blame for the lack of govern- ment action during the crisis on a lack of national media coverage. By his own admission, Mr. Alexander’s ministry and the federal government have been well aware of the growing migrant crisis in the Middle East in recent years, but to date had admitted only a fraction of the more than 11,000 displaced Syrians to which the government has committed. Mr. Alexander’s vow to help speed the process up for the “most vulnerable” of migrants is laudable. But Canadians must ask: why now? Why did it take one compelling and heartbreaking photo- graph to spur the government, and Mr. Alexander’s ministry, to promise real action? The death of Alan Kurdi, his broth- er and mother in their bid to come to Canada to join extended family here are tragic, to be sure. And though we sup- port any action to expedite a process that will improve the odds for other displaced victims, it’s informative to note that this Conservative government, obsessed with image, spin and branding as it is, has only decided to take meaningful action now, when new developments appear to threaten its electoral fortunes. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Migrant crisis shines light on federal Conservatives 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 1 0 , 2 0 1 5 7 AP We have a winner. 539 Slots • 60 Table Games greatblueheroncasino.com Port Perry, ON Great Blue Heron Charity Golf Classic Raises a Record $225,000 for Charities What a “Super” day!

While police were apprehending him, he went into medical distress. Paramedics were called and the man was taken to hospital, where he remains in serious condition. The SIU is an arm’s-length agency that is called in to investigate whenever someone is seriously injured, alleges sexual assault, or dies while involved with the police.

Not only did the picture of the body of three-year-old Alan Kurdi lying face down on the Turkish shore touch the world, but it also rocked the Canadian federal election campaign, as opposition parties jumped to say the governing Conservatives weren’t doing enough to help fleeing refugees. The Conser- vatives countered that the government has been meeting its commitments. The crisis prompted Chris Alexander, the minister of citizenship and immigration and the Conservative candidate in Ajax riding, to suspend his campaign on Thursday, Sept. 3 to travel to Ottawa to get input from depart- ment officials. It was reported an application had been filed by Alan’s family to come to Canada. However, the application was for the family of Mohammad Kurdi, the brother of Alan’s father Abdullah. In an interview, Mr. Alexander defended the government’s actions, saying the gov- ernment committed in January to resettling 10,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees and “we’ve made good. The program is scaling up efforts to do that.” So far, 2,500 have been brought to Cana- da, he added. “There are many thousands of applications. We’re pressing on all fronts to process those applications,” Mr. Alexander said. “Even as we’ve simplified the process, it’s still a complicated process.” He noted some applicants have lost their documents. The aim is to make sure Canada is being generous, but that the system isn’t being abused, he said. “We don’t want people to use the refugee program who aren’t actual refugees. There’s obvious security considerations, as there’s an ongoing conflict in Syria, Iraq and neigh- bouring countries,” Mr. Alexander said. He noted the processing time has been “reduced substantially. We’re processing Syr- ian refugee applications in less than a year. It was multiple years recently. We’re process- ing them in as little as six months. I’m proud of the accomplishment, but we need to do more.” Mark Holland, the Liberal candidate in Ajax, said his party is committed to bringing in 25,000 refugees immediately. “We’ll make a commitment beyond that,” he added. He said the crisis is “one example of where our government has failed.” Most of the refugees accepted to date have been through private sponsorships, he said. The Liberals would commit “$100 mil- lion this fiscal year of refugee settlement,” he said, adding a Liberal government would also commit to $100 million to the United Nations to support relief activities. “We’ve been talking about this since March. We’ve been pushing, saying this is something we should do,” Mr. Holland said. Canada has a tradition of helping in such situations, he noted, pointing to the country accepting 60,000 Vietnamese refugees in the 1970s. “This is a humanitarian crisis that’s been wrapped up in politics. We have to help people in horrific circumstances. The pho- tograph is a reminder of the tragedy unfold- ing every day,” Mr. Holland said. “We can’t help but think of our own families. We have to meet the spirit of what we’ve done in the past.” Stephanie Brown, the New Democratic Party candidate in Ajax, said her party has “gotten a lot of support. There’s broad sup- port across Canada. When you see an image like that, you can’t ignore it.” She added, “I think so” when asked if Cana- da can do more. “We have that capacity” Ms. Brown said of bringing more refugees into Canada. “It’s what we need to do. Canada has tradi- tionally stepped up in humanitarian crises. We want to be those helping out.” The NDP has pledged to bring 10,000 refu- gees in by the end of the year. Ms. Brown said 10,000 “isn’t a huge burden. It’s something that can done and it needs to be done.” Politics should be put on the sideline with a tragedy that’s unfolding, she added. “I think it’s who we are as Canadians. If it was us, we would want someone to help us,” Mr. Brown noted. There’s a “lot of red tape” in the process and that needs to be streamlined, she said. “We need to act and act quickly,” Ms. Brown said. “It’s up to us to commit to a target and honour our targets. We have to do the right thing. I trust the other parties would do the right thing as well.” What parties pledge to do Liberal Party On Saturday, Sept. 5, the Liberal Party announced that if elected, a Liberal govern- ment will take immediate action to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada. A Liberal government would: • Expand Canada’s intake to 25,000 refugees from Syria through immediate, direct sponsor- ship by the Government of Canada. Liberals would also work with private sponsors to take in even more; • Invest at least an additional $100 million this fiscal year to increase -- without reducing stan- dards -- refugee processing, as well as spon- sorship and settlement services capacity in Canada; and • Provide an immediate $100 million new contri- bution to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to support the critical relief activi- ties in Syria and the surrounding area. New Democratic Party Also on Sept. 5, New Democrats outlined steps the party would take. After resettling 10,000 government-sponsored Syrian refu- gees by the end of this year, the NDP would increase the number of government-sponsored Syrian refugees by 9,000 per year for the next four years. The NDP would fast-track private sponsorships with no cap, remove the bureau- cratic obstacles to private sponsorships, treat all refugees equally by ending Canada’s policy of discrimination on the basis of religion, and provide temporary resident permits for Syrians who wish to come and stay temporarily with family. Green Party The Green Party would admit 25,000 immediately, while committing to bringing in an additional 40,000 over the next five years. Conservative Party The Conservative Party has made an elec- toral promise to resettle 10,000 refugees from both Syria and Iraq over the next three years. Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said the government in 2009 com- mitted to admitting 50,000 people from Iraq, Syria and other countries affected by the fight- ing. Of those, 20,000 would come from Iraq and 2,500 from Syria. He added the time it takes to process applicants has been significantly short- ened from years to months.

But the Pickering couple say it’s been a far cry from peaceful, with construction behind their home during the summer months, and say they have not been able to use their pool with all the dust that settles in it. “It’s all day from about quarter to 7 in the morning until 6 o’clock in the evening,” said Mr. Gould, a resident whose property backs onto major road work on Rossland Road. The couple has been fleeing their home when they can most days to get away from the noise and diesel fumes. “The noise is constant,” Ms. Gould said, over the noise. “We’re sitting now talking to you and the whole house has been literally shaking,” her husband said. Mr. Gould said they were informed of the work a year in advance, and knew about the road closures taking place, but “We had no idea what we were in store for.” It hasn’t been much easier for their neighbours, Rosemarie and Josef Hum- mel. “From two sides we’re shaking,” said Ms. Hummel. “I wonder if it’s healthy or not to be exposed to all of this shaking.” The couple spent $3,000 on their gar- den this year and Ms. Hummel says they haven’t been able to enjoy it and the plants are all dusty. “It has an impact on your quality of life,” she said. The Goulds feel they deserve some sort of compensation for their experience since they pay around $8,700 in taxes, and Mr. Gould feels there has been some damage to their property. “We’ve noticed on our pool the concrete deck cracked and it’s gotten much bigger over the summer,” he said, adding the pool liner seems to have stretched. Bill Reid, Region of Durham project man- ager of capital construction projects, is aware of the situation but said complaints regarding construction are not common. “We’re not getting complaints from peo- ple saying we’re damaging their property,” he said. “It doesn’t happen.” He said there is a possibility of some damage if something’s already compro- mised, but said the noise and vibration is normal when it comes to road building. “We’re building roads throughout Dur- ham Region on a daily basis,” he said. He explained the workers have to com- pact granite and material and use smooth drum rollers that vibrate, which he admits can be felt inside of a home. Work is gener- ally done for 12 hours to make the most of a work day, he said. At the time of the interview, Mr. Reid explained the construction near the Gould residence was going to shift soon but work will continue in the area until the end of 2017. “Two years is a long time to have to go through this,” said Ms. Gould. Mr. Reid said the work will only improve the area in the long run. A steep hill on Rossland Road east of Brock Road, which has been a source of worry for residents, will be flattened and the road widened. “There’s been a lot of concerns with sight lines and everything at that intersection because there’s a big dip,” he said. He added a storm management pond is also being built on the north side of Ross- land and west of Brock. Mr. Gould said he was told by the Region that if he can display any business loss, he may be able to put a claim in against the Region, but said he wouldn’t be able to show any losses at this point. Sonia Coward, Durham Region risk and insurance manager, confirmed in an e-mail people are able to file claims for any allegations they feel are justified, including for quality of life reasons. She said if the property owners have suf- fered a loss they believe the Region of Dur- ham may be responsible for, they must file a notice of claim in writing to the attention of the regional clerk. The claim is then sent to the finance department’s insurance and risk management division, which inves- tigates. If the investigation concludes the damages were a result of a Region con- struction project, the claim is then for- warded to the contractor. She added if the person knows the contractor details, they can send their claim directly to the con- tractor. Ms. Coward was unable to answer how much money, if any, Durham Region resi- dents have claimed as a result of construc- tion issues. “Typically, these claims are referred to the contractor. Durham Region is not a party to claims handled between the per- son making the claim and the Contractor,” she said in her e-mail. Regional staff has met with Mr. Gould to hear his concerns and discuss issues relat- ed to the ongoing construction project on Rossland Road. Ms. Coward says to date, the Region does not have any claims for the construction project on Rossland Road.

Student leaders say post-secondary costs, youth unemployment need to be election issues Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A cash-strapped universi- ty student subsisting on a diet of ramen noodles is a well-worn cliche, but in some cases it’s also a reality. Ryan is a second-year UOIT student and a food bank user. He asked that his full name not be used, because he is “really embarrassed” about relying on food banks to eat. “It’s not something you really tell people,” he says. The local student, who is paying for his education on his own through a patchwork of savings, a part-time retail job and OSAP, says things were OK for the fist half of his first year. Then he started running out of money. “There was always expenses coming up for books, fees, bus passes, things like that,” he says. “I work about 15 to 20 hours a week, and I couldn’t pay for everything.” So, he started visiting food banks on cam- pus and in the community on a weekly basis. The items he picks up most often are breakfast cereal, peanut butter, bread, fruit, milk, pasta and sauce. Ryan’s story is not unusual. Jesse Cullen, president of the Student Association at Durham College and UOIT, says use of the DC/UOIT Campus Food Centre is growing. So far in 2015, Feed the Need in Durham has provided 9,211 pounds of food to the main campus food bank in north Oshawa. There are also locations in Whitby and downtown Oshawa. “UOIT has highest average fees in all of Canada, we have a lot of students who are having a hard time making ends meet,” Mr. Cullen says, noting the issue is compound- ed by a high youth unemployment rate and “precarious” employment for those who do land jobs. While Durham College has lower fees, Mr. Cullen says a high number of mature students with families creates a different kind of struggle. “We’re approaching a federal election, we need to address the crisis in youth unem- ployment and skyrocketing student debt and tuition fees,” he notes. Those concerns are echoed at the nation- al level, where the Canadian Federation of Students says growing reliance on campus food banks underscores how inaccessible post-secondary education has become. The group, which represents more than 500,000 members from 80 student unions, is calling on the federal and provincial gov- ernments to make college and university education more affordable. National chairwoman Bilan Arte stresses that attending college or university is no longer a luxury as it might have been in the past -- it’s necessary to access more than 70 per cent of new jobs. Yet, costs are increasingly out of reach for many students. “Some students are having to make deci- sions between affording tuition fees and affording groceries or rent. It’s a very alarm- ing situation for young people,” she says. The federation doesn’t keep stats on how many students use campus food banks, but Ms. Arte says reports from campuses across the country indicate that use is rising. She says mature students with depen- dents and international students -- whose fees might be two or three times higher than domestic students -- are some of the heaviest users. “Political parties have an opportunity with this federal election to mobilize young people to get out there and vote for them if they address the issues of student debt and funding for post-secondary education,” Ms. Arte says. The DC/UOIT Campus Food Centre offers students the option of dropping in weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to select the items they need, or requesting a hamper of items to be left in an anonymous locker if they’re not able to pick up during regular hours.

More Durham college, UOIT students using food banks OSHAWA -- Heather Orr-Francis, interim general manager of the Student Association at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, left, and Anna Gutmanis from Whitby Outreach Services packed food into a bag at the schools’ food bank. The Canadian Federation of Students has expressed concern that campus food bank usage is increasing, a trend that is also being seen at the Durham College/UOIT food bank.

VOTING STARTS NEXT THURSDAY,SEPTEMBER 17TH 2015 R EADERS’C HOICE AwARDS 5 App includes personalized collection day calendar for garbage, green bin, blue box, yard waste DURHAM -- The Region of Durham hopes a new tool will keep residents on top of waste collection in Durham. On Sept. 3, the Region’s works depart- ment officially announced the new Dur- ham Region Waste App, a tool to give residents instant, mobile, customized access to information about waste col- lection. “We use apps for so many daily activi- ties, like banking, checking the weath- er and reading the news,” said Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. “Now, Dur- ham residents can also easily access cus- tomized information about waste collec- tion from their smartphones and tablets. I encourage all residents to download the Durham Region waste app, set up a collection alert, and never forget your garbage or recycling day again.” Residents wishing to download the free app to their smartphone or tablet can search for ‘Durham Region Waste’ in the app store. “The Durham Region Waste App makes it easy and convenient for residents to manage waste through innovative fea- tures, such as collection reminders and the ability to search for any item to learn how to properly dispose of it,” said Cliff Curtis, commissioner of works. “This app is another way that the Regional Municipality of Durham is working with residents to improve its diversion rate.” It’s available to all residents of Durham who receive curbside collection ser- vice from the Region, except for Whitby residents -- the Town has its own waste management app. All features of the app are also available on the Region’s website at www.durham. ca/waste . The website also offers addi- tional collection alert options, including text message, phone call, iCalendar alert or e-mail. Fast facts Key features of the app include: • A personalized collection day calendar for garbage, green bin, blue box, yard waste and other special curbside collections (such as household batteries and Christmas trees) • Collection day reminders to pop up on smartphones or tablets • The ‘Know Before You Throw’ tool which allows users to search waste items to dis- cover proper disposal methods • Information on how to schedule special waste collection for bulky or porcelain items • The ability to report collection issues direct- ly through the app (including a photo upload function) Durham Region launches curbside waste collection app DURHAM — On Sept. 3, the new Durham Region Waste App was officially launched at Regional headquarters. This tool will give residents icustomized access to informa- tion about waste collection.

Tasting wines can involve guesswork Have you ever marveled at a person who tastes a wine and pinpoints everything about the wine from its grape type and age to its country of origin, winery and wine- maker? There are people whose educated palates may be able to do just that. How- ever, with persons with an average palate such as I, the blind tasting of a wine can and usually does involve much guess work. It is true that the more one tastes, the more educated the palate gets. Howev- er with the vast amount of wine that is on the market today as well as the many styles made by winemakers, accurate depiction depends on every sense that one has and not just taste alone. For example, some time ago in Italy, a wine was brought out and I and two others were asked to identify the grape type. We were told that the wine was from Central Europe. The wine was a light crimson in colour and its light cherry-like flavours reminded me of a Pinot Noir but there was a spiciness to it that made it seem more than a Pinot. I took a guess on a hunch that the wine pos- sibly was from Austria and was told ‘yes.’ That narrowed the range of the wine and thus the type. I immediately thought of the red St. Laurent which produces a tan- nic wine when young but develops lovely velvety nuances with age -- again in many ways like a Pinot Noir. The wine’s colour pointed to youth. It wasn’t overly tannic but the spiced cherry was evident. I discounted the St. Laurent in favour of a Zweigelt -- a grape variety that was developed at a historic 900-year-old monastery called Klosterneuburg in 1922 and has become the most planted grape in Austria. My Zweigelt guess turned out to be correct. I did have an advantage however in hav- ing visited this famous monastic winery several years prior. This type of taste and deduction has assisted me on several occa- sions. Just as many times, I have been wrong -- sometimes way off base. I recently tast- ed a California Cabernet that I would have sworn was a Zinfandel. Each time howev- er, I learned something and am still learn- ing. It is not a fault to hazard a guess and be wrong. One cannot learn by playing it safe. The same grape can show different characteristics. For example Pinot Noir, depending on where it is grown and how it is vinified, can exhibit different nuances. Last week I went to Prince Edward Coun- ty where I visited two of my favourite win- eries, Casa Dea and The Grange of Prince Edward County. I tried two Pinots -- both gold-medal winners and both different in body yet both were superb wines from the same grape. When tasting wine, never be afraid to make a mistake. Half the fun in wine is the learning. No one said that accurately tast- ing wine is easy -- just pleasurable. -- Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada.

The cocaine involved in the inci- dents was found to be mixed with the powerful opiate Fen- tanyl, police said. The Ajax ODs were among four such incidents reported in the region during a 30-hour period in mid-August. Police assisting para- medics at one of the Ajax incidents seized drugs at the scene and had the substance test- ed, confirming the presence of Fentan- yl, said Sergeant Bill Calder. Cops then established a link between the cocaine and the man now facing charges. There’s no evidence the man accused of trafficking the drugs knew they’d been mixed with Fentanyl, which has been linked to numerous deaths among drug users across the country, he added. “We don’t have evidence to support that,” said Sgt. Calder. “Otherwise the charges would have reflected that.” Police arrested Jason Donofrio, 29, of Burns Street West in Whitby, Thursday, Sept. 3. He is charged with drug trafficking. Since last month’s inci- dents police have received no new reports of overdos- es involving drugs tainted with Fentanyl, but continue to urge drug users to be aware of the dangers of what they’re ingesting. Anyone experiencing adverse reac- tions is advised to seek medical atten- tion immediately.

On Oct. 17, the Pickering Museum Vil- lage’s heritage cooking volunteers will take guests behind the scenes to prepare the kinds of dishes that make its sell-out Summer Solstice and Harvest Suppers successful every year. “Guests rave about the meals we serve at our interactive suppers,” says Helena Turner, leader of Vintage Victuals. The dedicated group of 15 volunteers helps research, test, and plan the meals that are served at the suppers offered for a few evenings every June and August. The hearty meals are carefully researched and prepared to be histori- cally accurate representations of what would have been served at a rural inn in the 1850s. “In fact, the museum’s gardening vol- unteers, Bloomers and Britches, plant and care for the gardens where some of the vegetables for the suppers are grown, right on the museum grounds,” said Ms. Turner. At the Hearth Cooking and Din- ing workshop, guests will be taught to make some fall dishes, and eat the meal they’ve prepared. The workshop will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the museum village, located at 2365 6th Concession, Pickering. Participants must register for the work- shop, offered in the City of Pickering’s Fall Leisure Guide. The cost is $50. Contact Sandra Gelbard at 905-683- 8401 or sgelbard@pickering.ca for more information on, or help registering for this program.‘‘Guests rave about the meals we serve at our interactive suppers.’ Helena Turner, leader of Vintage Victuals 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 1 0 , 2 0 1 5 18 AP BOLTON • BRAMPTON • BURLINGTON • GEORGETOWN MARKHAM • MISSISSAUGA • NEWMARKET • OAKVILLE ORANGEVILLE • OSHAWA • PICKERING • TORONTO CALL BROCK TODAY!1.800.449.3808 SHOWROOM HOURS: Mon-Fri 9:00 am – 5:00 pm • Sat 10:00 am – 3:00 pm BROCKWINDOWS.COM TheTrustedTeam of the GTA & Surrounding Areas AS SEEN ON PROPERTY BROTHERS WINNER6YEARS WINNER4YEARS 25 years experience, over 50,000 installs and 1000s of satisfied customers.

Tinnitus, (Latin) means “to tinkle or ring like a bell”; a perception of sound in the ears (or head) in the absence of outside sound sources. Tinnitus has been described as: Ringing in the ears, hissing, roaring, pulsing, whooshing, chirping, whistling, rushing, booming, clicking. In fact, over 50 different descriptions of sounds have been reported. Q.What causes tinnitus? A. There are several causes: age-related hearing loss (presbycusis-typically begins after the age of 55), ear injury, impacted wax near the eardrum, exposure to excessive noise (either ongoing or one time noise trauma), head/neck trauma, whiplash, large doses of ototoxic drugs. Q.I have a hearing loss with tinnitus. Will amplification make my ringing worse? A. Wear hearing aids. If the tinnitus is accompanied by hearing loss, hearing aids are an effective way to deal with tinnitus*. Hearing aids amplify other sounds which draws attention away from the tinnitus.

The Best Back-to-School Deal for Our Kids MORE SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS – MORE INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION FOR EVERY CHILD – RESPECT FOR TEACHERS’ ABILITY TO CREATE THE BEST LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS. THAT’S WHAT ELEMENTARY TEACHERS ARE NEGOTIATING FOR. The Best Back-to-School Deal for Our Kids A messagefrom TheElementaryTeachers’ FederationofOntario BuildingBetterSchools.ca Survey says communications skills most sought after by employers Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A new survey says communication is the most sought-after job skill for Canadi- an employers in 2015, but it can be hard to find applicants with the right stuff. Officials at Trent University Durham said that trend is what inspired the school’s new bach- elor of arts degree in communi- cations and critical thinking. The three-year degree will include courses in critical think- ing, writing and theories of prac- tical communication. “We’re acutely aware that employers are looking for stu- dents who can think critical- ly and communicate effective- ly,” says Joe Muldoon, head of Trent University Durham. “Those are job skills that a lot of students struggle with.” A new survey by job-search website Workopolis says com- munications skills are asked for in 47 per cent of sales job ads, 60 per cent of marketing job ads and 47 of ads for digital media and technology jobs. One third of the 256 Canadian employers surveyed said they want to hire new staff in the next 12 months, but 68 per cent said it is “very or somewhat difficult” to find the right people for the job. Mr. Muldoon says the new degree will provide students with transferable skills for an ever- changing work landscape. “Some skills are not transfer- able and they can become obso- lete very quickly. These skills are flexible enough that they could be used for many jobs,” he explains. “The liberal arts have been downplayed a lot in the last few years, but we still think they’re very important.” Trent University Durham is marking its 40th year in Dur- ham Region and welcoming more than 300 new student to the Oshawa campus this fall, the largest number ever. The new communications and critical thinking program is accepting students this term, as well as for winter and summer 2016.

Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS Pickering The Big M originally opened in 1965, and seven years ago Chris Papatheodorou reopened the drive-in style joint. He is proud to be continuing his father Ted’s tradition of offering delicious, original recipe, award winning homemade hamburgers. The restaurant’s blueprint for a better burger includes a toasted soft bun (that are delivered fresh daily), a seven ounce freshly grilled beef patty, topped with crisp iceberg lettuce, sliced beefsteak tomato, a slice of red onion, pickles, ketchup and yellow mustard. To make your burger even better, you can add on cheddar cheese, Canadian bacon and/or peameal bacon. Customers also love their famous steak on a Kaiser, homemade onion rings, French fries, sweet potato fries, homemade chicken souvlaki and The Big M chicken Caesar salad as well as the tasty Greek salad. While you are here, you can also enjoy one of the signature milkshakes, a soft ice cream cone or a sundae. When you visit The Big M, it’s like taking a trip back in time. The restaurant offers an authentic 60’s vibe. The combination of great food and outstanding customer service will have your coming back time and time again. “We pride ourselves on our 50 plus year tradition of serving the Bay Ridges area, which is why we’ve gone back to the restaurant’s original feel,” Chris says. “We offer high quality food and a good time – plus, you can’t get a better hamburger or steak on a Kaiser anywhere else.” It’s no surprise that that the restaurant was voted in as number one hamburger in Ajax and Pickering. Drop by or drive up to The Big M at 711 Krosno Blvd. (at Liverpool Road, south of the 401) in Pickering for an incredible dining experience.

Ce n t r e f o r Bilingual services now availableCentre For Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, in Ajax Dr. David Direnfeld, Psychologist 905.427.2007 (NC) Adults, teens and even children can experience stress, especially during the school year. While stress can be the body’s way of preparing us to cope with potentially threatening situations, it becomes a problem when it interferes with our ability to properly handle our daily routines. Here are some tips to help you minimize its negative effects: 1. Figure out the source of your stress. Oftentimes we feel like everything is overwhelming. However, by getting specific and pinpointing the stressors in your life, you’re closer to coping. 2. Focus on what you can control. Identify these stress triggers and determine how to take action. 3. Learn about relaxation, breathing, meditation and visualization techniques to help relax your mind. 4. Breathe to manage your symptoms. Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower your body’s stress level. 5. Getting enough sleep is crucial. Stress sometimes causes troubled sleep and in turn insomnia reduces your ability to fight stress. 6. Manage your time. Organize your day and priorities more effectively. Learn to delegate and let go. 7. Take the time to eat well. Your body needs the energy and proper nutrients to help face and manage stress. A healthy diet will ensure that you are fueled to succeed in all your daily tasks. 8. Take part in physical exercise, especially outdoors if you can. Yoga, for example, is proven as a stress-relieving activity. 9. Adopt a positive attitude. Put things into perspective and don’t dwell on the negative. www.newscanada.com 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 1 0 , 2 0 1 5 27 AP for booking an in home estimate From$49 PER MONTH On Your Gas Bill EARN 25 AIR MILES ® REWARD MILES 99.7%CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SAVE ENERGY SAVE MONEY HIGH EFFICIENCY WINDOWS AND DOORS ONTARIO’S LEADING HOME IMPR WINDOWS& DOORS ’S LEADING HOME IMPROVER DISCOUNT CODE A100 WWW.CONSUMERSCHOICE.CA Visit our Facebook page:/CONSUMERSCHOICEWINDOWS Call for a no obligation estimate or our nearest showroom or kiosk location 1-800-565-RENO /416-335-8353GTALocal905-427-1572 AP100 *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* You won’t want to miss this event, live presentations, door prizes, experienced, knowledgeable Travel Experts, who will help you plan your next vacation.

OK, he’s not, but the Ajax resident and fellow comedian Josh Haddon, also from Ajax, are immensely pleased with the support the Town is giving them to put on the first-year event. The 905 Comedy Fest runs Sept. 11 to 13 at the St. Francis Centre and Yuk Yuk’s in Ajax. Haddon founded Comedy Quarry, a club in Windsor, and was also the man behind the Border City Comedy Festival there. Sirota is a two-time Gemini Award nominee and a Comedy Inc. alumnus. “I had this idea (for a festival) and I just never did it,” the latter says. “Because Josh is experienced running a festival in Windsor we hooked up. It’s been a ride.” “Ian is awesome,” Haddon says. “It’s amazing he was able to get these house- hold names.” The comedy veterans have assembled a stellar lineup of funny guys and girls. There’s Kate Davis, “funny mommy,” who has been nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award five times and has starred in a comedy special on CTV. Dave Hem- stad has appeared at the Just for Laughs, Halifax, and Winnipeg Comedy festivals and writes for the CBC series Still Stand- ing. James Cunningham is the host of Eat Street on the Food Network. And Dom Pare, whom critics have praised, won the Border City Comedy Festival and was runner-up for Toronto’s Best Male Stand Up. The list of comics goes on. Even for a seasoned comedian like Haddon, it’s an amazing cast of clowns. “I don’t think I should be on any of the lineups,” he says. “I’m so impressed.” And speaking of CBC, Laugh Out Loud is taping the early Kids Caravans and Commutes show on Sept. 12 at the St. Francis Centre. Sirota, occupied with his son, six-month-old Charlie, and his big sister, Delilah, during the interview, knows something about children. He says some of the laughs will centre on “how annoying our kids are. “I would never hit my child, but I would beat the hell out of Caillou,” he quips. Other shows are also themed, such as The Urban Suburban Show on Sept. 11. Sirota says Ajax is a diverse place and they want the festival to appeal to all kinds of people. The Sept. 13 All Star Show ben- efits The Funny Thing About Cancer, Haddon’s upcoming book, and specifi- cally to get the book into as many Cana- dian cancer centres as possible. He has stage 3 esophageal cancer and is fighting it in part with humour, including a web series. Haddon says some of those videos found their way to The Ellen DeGeneres Show and he’s in talks to appear on it, possibly this fall or early next year. Had- don, who is to receive a health update in two weeks, says if he’s able he’ll do a book tour. Sirota says in addition to being a dad (“who wants to buy a baby?” he post- ed recently on his Facebook page), he’s been doing standup across the country. He and some fellow comedians are writ- ing a pitch and next month he’ll be taking part in Humour Me. The event matches comics with CEOs of major corporations, all to raise money for youth at risk. Back to the 905 Comedy Fest and Had- don says the two want to make it an annual event. “We want to expand to the whole Dur- ham Region,” Sirota adds. “This is like our test run with the Town of Ajax, they’re sponsoring us.” Sirota and Haddon have offered a deal for those of our readers who want to check out the fest, $10 tickets if you enter “code 905” at www.905comedy.com or mention it at the door.

The Port Perry singer/songwriter is making a fresh start this fall, with two releases coming, so he’s taken most of his older stuff off the web. “I can’t believe the difference in a year,” he says, referring to an August 2014 West Hammock demo, which begs the ques- tion, what is the difference? “The dynamics in the songs work better, they’re better to listen to; the songs make more sense,” Sheridan says. He’s been juggling two projects of late: West Hammock is the band he and friend Sean Thornton, an Oshawa keyboard- ist, formed around four years ago, and Newcastle drummer Ryan Mead and Pickering bassist Curtis Stewart round out the foursome; October Wild is a band Sheridan assembled for a specific record- ing session and album, featuring musi- cians from Durham and farther afield. Both efforts were recorded “live off the floor” in August at Pickering’s Chalet Studio (West Hammock) and at the Old Flame Brewing Company in Port Perry. He describes West Hammock as an indie rock band. But October Wild, which Sheridan says is “an outlet for me as a songwriter,” is more of a folk rock band, almost countryish, he says, featuring violin (Alanna Jenish from Oshawa) and banjo (Port Perry’s Mark Doughty). Sheridan, 24, notes his dad is a musi- cian. He began playing guitar at 17 and says personal experiences form the basis of his songs. Sheridan has had the “some- times annoying” experience of getting a great idea for a song as he’s trying to fall sleep, forcing him to get out of bed and write it down. Born in Markham, he spent much of his childhood in Ajax, where he went to high school. He took a year off after finishing to travel, including to Australia. Sheri- dan had never been diving before but caught the bug after dipping beneath the waves many times on his trip. He’s tak- ing marine biology at the University of Guelph as a fallback. “I want to make a career (in music), see where it goes,” he says. “(But) going to school is important for me, I don’t want to disregard that.” The main writer in West Hammock, he says that’s evolved over the years. “It’s become more of a collaboration,” Sheridan says. “I’ll come to the group with an idea, a skeleton of a song.” The band has performed with acts including Kalle Mattson, The Strumbel- las, Ivory Hours, Rory Taillon, Sea Perry, High Top Society, The Cardboard Crowns, Olivia and the Creepy Crawlies, and Hello Beautiful. “We play a few shows every month,” Sheridan says. “We got some college radio play for our last record.” He says the band has generally begged off live dates later in the year after sum- mer shows, but that’s about to change. “We’re just trying to keep momentum,” he says. “We’ve been kind of getting going in the summer and slowing down in the winter.” “We’re booked until the end of October.” If you’re in that neck of the woods, see West Hammock in Ridgeway (near Fort Erie) on Sept. 18 on a bill with The Strum- bellas. Closer to home, the band performs with Port Perry’s Rory Taillon on Sept. 24 at Oshawa’s Wasted Space.

Smith follows sister’s footsteps with scholarship Swimmer to compete for University of Evansville in Indiana Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING — There were a number of factors that contributed to Amy Smith heading to the U.S. to pursue academics and athletics at the next level. First, it was something she toyed with in her mind since joining the Pickering Swim Club 12 years ago. Secondly, when her older sister, Hollie, earned a scholar- ship to the University of Illinois and spoke highly of the experience, it cemented the plan. The younger Smith accepted a scholar- ship to the University of Evansville in Indi- ana, a Division-I private school, where she is likely to swim breaststroke and individ- ual medley for the Purple Aces swim team. The influence her sister had certainly helped in the process. “My sister getting a scholarship four years ago to U of I really made me think it was possible. So at the start of high school it was really something that I wanted in my future,” she notes through an e-mail exchange. “I have followed in my sister’s footsteps with going to a school in the States. I watched her go off to school and she had an amazing time. I hoped that eventual- ly I could do the same. Hollie helped me with which schools to contact and what I should look for in a school as well as the swimming program.” When Smith made her visit to the uni- versity, she liked the fact that the campus was smaller in size, with about 2,400 stu- dents, as opposed to a huge student pop- ulation. That, coupled with the academ- ic program and the welcomed reception from coach Rickey Perkins and the team, made Evansville an easy choice. “I really liked the smaller environment compared to a huge public school. They also have a fantastic exercise science pro- gram, as that is one of their most popular majors. Exercise science was my intended major so I was very glad it was ranked so highly. “I also loved the team, and they were in need of breaststrokers and that is my spe- cialty. Coach Rickey Perkins and the team really made me feel welcomed on my recruiting trip last fall.” Smith, a Dumbarton graduate, record- ed multiple top-10 finishes at provincial level meets and eastern level meets during her time with the Pickering Swim Club. She credits the club with helping form her both as an athlete and as a person. “I swam for Pickering Swim Club for 12 years as it was a very big part of my life,” she says. “I trained under my coach, Anne Muylaert, for a very long time, and she has shaped me into how I am today both in and out of the pool. Her program at the Pickering Swim Club is amazing, as I started when I was five, and 12 years later I became an elite athlete. “Anne being an Olympian knows exactly what her swimmers need to do to be suc- cessful. Anne has always been there for me in the great times and the tough but I really owe my achievements to her great coaching skills.” The first competition of the season will be an Alumni Meet on Sept. 26. 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 1 0 , 2 0 1 5 35 APSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 Curran bests field at national karting championships Wins Micro Max title at Mosport Kartways AJAX — Dale Curran’s prediction came true. The Ajax resident was hoping to win, but recognized it was going to be hard prior to jumping into the driver’s seat of his go-kart for the Canadian karting championships held at Mosport Kartways in Clarington. The 11 year old from Ajax won the 14-lap Micro Max final by the slimmest of mar- gins to become the national champion. His time of 15:52.138 was just .104 better than the time of second-place finisher Justin Arseneau. The Grade 6 student at Carruther’s Creek Public School reached a top speed of 80.534 during the race that included 12 entries. The national title capped off an excel- lent season for Curran, who was among the leaders in both the Ron Fellows karting championship and the Eastern Canadian karting championship. His support group included the Ben Coo- per Racing Team, his driving coach Ben Cooper, his mechanic Zachary Robichon and his family.AJAX -- Dale Curran took a lap with the checkered flag after winning the Canadian karting championship in the Micro Max class.

Submitted photo Hockey New braintrust looks to lead Whitby Dunlops this season Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com WHITBY — The Whitby Dunlops’ relentless pursuit of an Allan Cup will be led by a new cast of characters this coming hockey sea- son — well, sort of. Two of the original investors in the team, Ian Young and Mike Laing, will be in key positions, but the general manager and head coach will be new to the team. Jon Crawford was hired as the GM in May, and Mark Watson was named the head coach on Aug. 21, replacing Adam Armstrong. Laing, the president when the senior hockey club was resurrected in 2004, is now the director of hockey operations. He says the changes have come about primarily under the direction of Young, who recently became owner of the team and succeeded Steve Cardwell as president. “Right from the get-go he wanted to have a change of culture and to put his own stamp on it,” said Laing, adding there will be some roster changes once training camp get underway Sept. 15. “There’s no secret, the team has to get much bigger up front, and tougher.” The Dunlops have been competitive every season since their return, and have reached the Allan Cup national champion- ship tournament three times, and the final game twice, but have been unable to add their name alongside the 1957 and 1959 Whitby champs. Getting over the hump in the tough Allan Cup Hockey league has been the sticking point over the past sev- eral years, and the Dunlops haven’t been back to the dance since 2008. It’s something that everyone involved is hoping to change. “My No. 1 motive on coming on board was to win a championship, that being the Allan Cup, and we’re all on the same page,” said Craw- ford, who’s learning the ropes under Laing. “It’s been a great working rela- tionship. We’ve done a lot of scouting, a lot of recruiting. We’re going to have a very strong training camp.” 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 1 0 , 2 0 1 5 36 AP An oldie but a goodie Brian Lunney, 70, still playing in Durham Men’s Fastball League Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- If you take in a Guns game in the Durham Men’s Fastball League at Alexandra Park in Oshawa, the first thing you’ll likely notice about the third base- man is that he’s left-handed and thus does a bit of a pirouette when he makes a throw to first. It’s an uncommon sight on any ball dia- mond. Look a little closer, however, and you’ll realize there’s something even rarer about Brian Lunney, who makes the weekly trip from Port Perry to play the game he loves. Lunney is 70, the oldest player in a league that has some still in their teens. “I love the game and as long as I’m not a detriment and as long as I enjoy it, I’ll keep playing,” Lunney explains. “The camaraderie you get with a team in any sport is something that you would like to continue for your entire life, or at least for as long as it doesn’t hurt.” Standing at only about five-foot-four and weighing 160 pounds, Lunney not only doesn’t hurt now, but he’s also rare- ly been hurt since he started playing the game at about 18 when he joined the Navy. He recalls only once, some 15 years ago, that a line drive was so fierce it bent his glove -- and thumb -- back to the point where he missed three weeks of action. And he’s sure no detriment when he’s there, assures 46-year-old Jeff Costanzi, who has been in the league for over 25 years and runs the Guns. “He’s probably one of the best contact hitters I’ve ever seen,” says Costanzi, who usually bats him lower in the order but isn’t afraid to put him second due to his bunting ability. Lunney typically mans the hot corner, but has played elsewhere in the infield and occasionally in the outfield as well. “I can’t pitch and I’m not stupid enough to catch, but I’ll play anywhere else,” he jokes. Born in Toronto and raised on a farm in Unionville, Lunney settled in Oshawa after he was done in the Navy, and played in the Scarborough Fastball League for years while working for a computer com- pany in Toronto. Not long after moving from Oshawa to Port Perry, he found the commute to be too much for the Scar- borough league and joined the Durham league. Lunney has played on the same team with his sons, Stephen and Mike, at vari- ous points over the years, including with Stephen on the Guzzlers of the Durham league until he moved west to Grand Prairie, Alberta. Until recently, Lunney was nearly matched in age by legendary pitcher Pete Landers, 68, who still coaches in the league but has hung up the cleats. Like most others who play, Lunney enjoys the post-game activities as well. “It’s known that occasionally I’ll have a beer or two,” he laughs, while adding he is usually careful with his diet, thus accounting for his longevity. “I could probably play better if I was about 15 pounds lighter, but I’m comfortable.” While the Guns aren’t having a very strong season, Lunney says he enjoys playing as much as he ever has, and hopes to continue on even after a pend- ing more to Brighton. “I love it,” he says. “As long as I’m still physically able to, I’ll still enjoy it. It’s a lot of fun.” Hockey Whitby Dunlops this season Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com WHITBY — The Whitby Dunlops’ relentless pursuit of an Allan Cup will be led by a new cast of characters this coming hockey sea- son — well, sort of.

Although the new head coach of the Oshawa Generals has been pleased, obvi- ously, with winning all three exhibition games so far, and recognizes the potential for some impactful players to be returning to the fold, he knows the season ahead will be one of rebuilding and not repeating. The defending Memorial Cup champi- ons improved to 3-0 in the pre-season with a 4-3 win over the Niagara IceDogs before a packed house at the Garnet B. Rickard Recre- ation Complex in Bowmanville on Tuesday, Sept. 8. Overage goalie Ken Appleby played half the game, but otherwise only forwards Sam Harding and Joe Manchurek suited up from the team that defeated Kelowna 2-1 in the national championship game three months earlier. The possibility exists for Appleby and for- ward Matt Mistele to return as overagers this season, joining defenceman Jacob Graves, who was acquired in a trade with the Kings- ton Frontenacs. And, unless he cracks the New York Island- ers at 19, Michael Dal Colle will be back as well, which would give the Generals one of the top offensive players in the league. But Jones isn’t willing to go there just yet. “I think there are too many unknowns,” said Jones, when asked about the potential of the team. “Until Dal Colle walks in the room after the Islanders pro camp, until you see a guy like Misty walk in and Kenny coming back from pro camp, I don’t think you can assume anything. “I think you’ve got to be realistic as to where we think our team can get to,” he added. “If these overagers do fall into place and we get Dal Colle back, I think it changes your mind- set a little bit, but I still think that we have to keep in mind that we’re going to be rebuild- ing this team.” The question marks are many, Jones point- ed out, citing a blue-line that will be com- pletely revamped and without injured Mitch- ell Vande Sompel at the start, an offence that will include three 16-year-old rookies and a crease that would sorely lack in experience should Appleby land a minor pro contract following camp with the New Jersey Devils. He has been impressed, however, with the likes of Harding, Manchurek and Kenny Huether, who played lesser roles with the Generals last season, but appear ready to take their game to the next level. On Tuesday, Manchurek scored twice, while Harding and Huether each had a goal and an assist, giving them eight goals in three games combined. “Coming into the pre-season these guys have really impressed me with their work ethic, with their attention to detail,” Jones praised. “They know how to play the game and they bring a real strong work ethic to the rink every day. I’m very, very happy with these guys.” He’s also been pleased with the many new- comers, including 2015 draft picks Jack Stud- nicka, who has a goal and three points, Kyle MacLean and Sullivan Sparkes. Studnicka was taken in the first round, while MacLean and Sparkes went in the fourth and fifth rounds respectively. The Generals now have a break in the pre- season until Friday, Sept. 18 when they travel to St. Catharines to face the IceDogs again. They close out the exhibition schedule in Ajax Sept. 19 against the Hamilton Bulldogs. 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 1 0 , 2 0 1 5 38 AP Call: 1-888-806-1856 Visit: triOSdurham.com Campus: 200 John St. W.
