See HOME page 10 Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Officials will not confirm a media report identifying a Pickering man accused of murdering his wife is an inmate involved in an attempted escape from the Lindsay superjail. As news circulated of what was described as an attempted escape Thursday, Sept. 3 at the jail, Toronto media identified an inmate involved as David Knight, who was charged along with another man in the Sept. 14, 2014 killing of his wife, Carmela Knight. The body of Ms. Knight, 39, was found in the burned-out garage of her fam- ily’s home on Pebblestone Crescent. Mr. Knight and another man, Graham Thomas MacDonald, were arrested several months later. Ministry of Community Safety and Cor- rectional Services spokesman Brent Ross said Friday he couldn’t speak to the identi- ty of any inmates involved in the incident, discovered by staff at the Central East Cor- rections Centre last week. “I can’t confirm who the individual was,” he said. Mr. Ross did say the security concern was discovered before it presented any threat to community safety. “Last Thursday, it was discovered that there was damage to a cell wall. This wall is currently being repaired. It is important to note that the wall was never breached. There was never any threat to public safe- ty,” Mr. Ross said. “Thanks to the excellent work of ministry staff, the situation was brought to imme- diate attention of management and steps are underway to address the situation,” he said. 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 7 , 2 0 1 5 2 AP 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 905-723-4561 Hours: Mon. - Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun.11-5 *Credit equal to the value of the HST.

The police service is inviting residents to take part in an online survey, part of an effort to guide operational priorities and form its business plan for the future. “We want people from every municipality to tell us how we are doing,” Chief Paul Mar- tin said. “We want to find out what their pri- orities are for public safety, and tell us what we should be concentrating on in the com- ing years.” The survey is available online at www. drps.ca/survey and will remain open for public input until Dec. 31. The 49-question survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. 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 7 , 2 0 1 5 3 AP A new policy every weekday.

NDP still lead by huge margin in Durham poll DURHAM -- Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have seen an uptick in support in our informal online week- ly poll over the last seven days, although they still lag the front- running NDP party led by Thom- as Mulcair by a wide margin. The Liberals and Conservatives are tied at seven per cent each in our unscientific poll of voter intentions, up from two per cent last week. The NDP is sitting at 86 per cent at the beginning of week six. There is still nearly six weeks to go until election day on Oct. 19, so those numbers could change over the course of the cam- paign.

You might not be able to play golf,work,or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive.It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel.You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep. You’ve got too many dreams left undone to let back pain slow you down.Too many special moments waiting to be experienced. Life is too short to let pain slow you down. Pain is your body’s warning sign telling you something is wrong.Sure,you can numb the pain if you take enough Vicodin,Soma or some other pain pill. But if you mask the pain,it can prevent your back from healing –maybe even damage it further. Not to mention many of the pain medications available are quite addicting and can have devastating side effects. Could This Be The Solution To Your Back Pain? My name is Dr.Clay Kosinko,owner of Health First Family Chiropractic.Over the years since we’ve opened the doors,I’ve seen hundreds of people with back pain leave the office pain free.Because I’ve seen it with my own eyes,I strongly believe... Back pain is NOT “just a part of life”and something you have to live with. Chiropractic has been around for over a hundred years,and has been used to help everyone from tiny babies to the elderly. Even top sports stars and entertainers…like Tiger Woods,Emmitt Smith,Tony Robbins and Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger receive chiropractic care.These professional athletes have the money to hire any kind of doctor they want,yet they choose to have a chiropractor on their team. Here’s what some of the top medical researchers had to say about chiropractic… “Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments],with or without exercise,improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.” –British Medical Journal “Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was more helpful than any of the following:traction,massage, biofeedback,acupuncture,injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets,and ultrasound.” --Stanley Bigos,MD,Professor of Orthopedic Surgery This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back on the golf course,enjoying your love life,or traveling again.

Joanna McCloury took her dog Finnigan for a walk on the forest’s path recently. Benjamin Priebe / Metroland Dr. Rajinder Singh Sekhon ‘has closed his practice indefinitely due to unforeseen circumstances’: voicemail message Jacques Gallant, Tara Deschamps newsroom@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- An Ajax doctor is facing a dis- cipline hearing for allegations that include sexually abusing a patient and tying her to a bed and injecting her with narcotics. The College of Physicians and Surgeons is also alleging that Dr. Rajinder Singh Sek- hon offered the woman prescription drugs, including narcotics, in return for sex, used her fentanyl patch, and later tried to have the patient recant her statements during the college’s investigation. Other allegations focus on the way he ended one patient-phy- sician relationship, and the way in which he communicated with another patient. None of the allegations have been prov- en, and the college has not yet scheduled a discipline hearing date. Dr. Sekhon’s lawyer did not return a request for comment. Messages left by the Toronto Star at Dr. Sekhon’s former office on Friday were not returned. A voicemail message said: “Dr. Sekhon has closed his practice indefinitely due to unforeseen circumstances.” A college spokeswoman would not say if police were notified, because the case is headed for a hearing. Durham police said the force’s policy is to never confirm wheth- er a person is under investigation. “There is no prohibition on discussing whether or not the matter has been referred to the police just because there’s a legal pro- cess underway at the college,” medical mal- practice lawyer Amani Oakley told the Star. “This is certainly something that should be reported to the police. These are serious allegations, and if they’re correct, they need to be investigated.” This is not the first run-in with a health regulatory board for Dr. Sekhon involv- ing drugs. He was granted a licence with 16 conditions by the State Medical Board of Ohio in 1995, according to documents on the board’s website, after he admitted to receiving in-patient treatment for opiate and cocaine dependence. The conditions included that he abstain from drinking alcohol and using drugs, submit to random urine tests, and not prescribe controlled substances. In that agreement, he disclosed that he had been receiving treatment from two U.S. facilities in 1992 and that he had signed an undertaking with the CPSO, agreeing to three years of substance abuse treatment. The CPSO, in turn, agreed not to publish any information with regards to the under- taking or the restrictions on his licence. While these documents are available on the Ohio board’s website, they are not found on the College of Physicians’ register. CPSO spokeswoman Kathryn Clarke said the college “reviewed the undertaking available from the Ohio website,” and said that the college does not post most health- related information contained in undertak- ings on its public register. Medical malpractice lawyer Paul Harte said the CPSO should make the undertak- ing public. “Protection of the public should come first,” he said. “In this particular case, now that they’re aware of it, they should publish it. It’s not protecting anybody’s pri- vacy. It’s available elsewhere online.” 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 7 , 2 0 1 5 5 AP Select your personal suite from spacious studios, or one and two bedrooms.

Why would a father endanger his children’s lives putting them on water in an unstable conveyance, they might still be alive if they had stayed on shore and completed immigration papers. Why is Canada expected to fix the world’s problems, have we not lost enough young veterans’ lives fighting to protect others? We cannot be expected to take unvet- ted refugees from a country where terror- ist cells exist. The world is responsible not just Canada.We need to fix issues involv- ing people who have lived in Canada their whole lives, take care of our veterans and poor before we give asylum, medical care and more benefits than a senior receives to immigrants who are new to this country. “Stupidity has a certain charm -- igno- rance does not.” -- Frank Zappa Judy Davidson Make sure to vote on Oct. 19 To the editor: Re: the upcoming federal election. I think we need to seriously evalu- ate our choices. Regardless of the out- come of the Mike Duffy fraud trial, I feel it is important for our citizens to remember who brought us through the recession quite capably while other countries including the United States were floundering. It sure wasn’t the NDP. Thomas Mulcair seems to conve- niently forget the good leadership we had at that time. I firmly believe there is a side to Mr. Mulcair to which we don’t have access. I don’t know what he is hiding behind those eyes and that glib smile but I hope we come to see the real Thomas Mulcair before Oct. 19/15. As for Justin Trudeau, there may be a time for his leadership but this is not it. It’s easy to make wonderful promises when he knows he won’t have to fulfill them. I can’t help but wonder if he is not riding on his late father’s coattails. Fellow Canadians, please exercise your right to vote. We have much to be thankful for in this great country. Our freedom being the most important. Esther Scott The last thing parents and students wanted to hear this week was Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario president Sam Hammond spouting more union rhetoric after negotiations with the Province broke off. This came as most were expecting some- thing positive to come out of the latest bar- gaining session as deals had previously been reached with the Ontario Second- ary School Teachers’ Federation and the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Asso- ciation. But the Province walked away from the table and the union president threat- ened more work-to-rule action. Since the school year began elementary teach- ers have stopped taking part in field trips, fundraising, board meetings and teacher training. The Province wants to model a new con- tract after the agreements reached with the OSSTF and OECTA. Those three-year deals included a small wage increase, an extra professional development day and retained current class sizes and prep time provisions. That said, the issues impacting high school teachers are not the same as those in elementary school so a cookie cutter approach won’t work. Mr. Hammond said working conditions and not salary are what’s keeping the two sides from reaching a deal. Common ground will never be found though if both sides do not resume negotiations. Since this labour disruption began last year Durham students have been used as pawns in these negotiations. The 11-week high school teachers’ strike last spring and now the work-to-rule action have done nothing to benefit them, indeed they have felt the effects of this labour unrest as they’re on the front lines of this fight. The longer it takes an agreement to be reached the worse off students will be. The Province must come back to the table and bargain in good faith, while the unions must be willing to move from hard- ened positions if there is to be a break- through in negotiations. If this fight is truly ‘for the children’ it behooves both sides to sit down and com- promise. No two sides ever get everything they want in labour negotiations. It’s give and take and sometimes issues have to be put aside in order to reach an overall agree- ment. The Province will not speculate on its next steps. There has been some fear a final offer could be taken directly to ETFO mem- bers. That is no way to reach a deal and could plunge the teachers into taking strike action. We would urge the Province to return to bargaining and for the union to realize members might not get everything they want this time around. The longer it takes to find some common ground the worse off our students will be. Just get it done. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Compromise must happen to get a teachers’ deal done 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 7 , 2 0 1 5 7 AP Marathon of Hope continues 35 years after Terry Fox’s initial run Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It’s been more than 40 years since Gordon Willoughby lost his daughter to cancer, but he keeps her memory alive by participating in the Terry Fox Run each year. Krista died from leukemia when she was just three-and-a-half years old in 1974. Mr. Willoughby started running in the Terry Fox Run in Pickering more than 20 years ago to help in the national effort to raise funds for cancer research. Mr. Willoughby also lost his brother to can- cer five years ago. “He died Saturday night at 9:30,” he recalled. “The next morning was the Terry Fox Run. It was a tough one.” But he still ran and he continues to run every year. And each time he participates, he carries a photo of both loved ones in his pocket. “I normally run the whole 10 kilometres,” he says, adding he has a faithful following of supporters who sponsor his efforts each year. He’ll be participating again this year in the event that takes place in communities across the country, and even internationally, on Sunday, Sept. 20. “We put it on for our community and it’s very rewarding seeing the same individuals come out and run and keep Terry’s Marathon of Hope continuing,” says Kevin Cahill, orga- nizer of the Pickering run. Mr. Cahill, who lost his mother to the dis- ease a few years ago, has been running in the annual event since it started in Pickering in 1986. “He truly is one of, if not the greatest Cana- dian,” he said of Mr. Fox. The Canadian legend was diagnosed with osteosarcoma when he was just 18 years old in 1977 and was forced to have his leg ampu- tated above the knee. But he wanted to make a difference and spread a message about the importance of finding a cure for cancer. So on April 12, 1980, he began his run across Canada, the Mar- athon of Hope, in St. John’s, Nfld. His run stopped short on Sept. 1, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, outside of Thunder Bay, because the cancer spread to his lungs. He died on June 28, 1981 at the age 22. “Thirty-five years later we’re still behind him,” said Mr. Cahill. “We’re not going to for- get.” Mr. Cahill emphasizes the run is fam- ily friendly and is non-competitive. Partici- pants are free to walk, run, cycle, inline skate or skateboard and can even bring along their dogs to take part. The routes range in each municipality and all funds raised will go to the Terry Fox Foun- dation. Participants can register in advance or just show up on the day of the event.

Warrant issued for pepper spray assault on woman at Pickering Town Centre PICKERING -- Investigators have iden- tified a second suspect in a violent con- frontation Monday in Pickering that saw a man slashed and a woman pepper- sprayed. An arrest warrant has been issued for Brandon Harding-Macdow, Durham police said Wednesday, Sept. 16. The 20 year old, of no fixed address, is wanted for assault with a weapon, administering a noxious substance, and weapons pos- session. Police allege Mr. Harding-Macdow is the male suspect who assaulted a woman with pepper spray during a con- frontation at about 3:20 p.m. Sept. 14 at the Pickering Town Centre. Police said a 39-year-old man and a female acquain- tance were assaulted after confronting a woman known to them who was wanted by police. A female suspect slashed the man, causing serious injuries to his arm, police said; the woman with him was pepper-sprayed in the face. Both victims were treated at hospital. Sheila Struthers, 18, of Radford Drive in Ajax, was arrested that day on charges including assault with a weapon. The male sus- pect, now identified by police as Mr. Harding-Macdow, fled the scene. He’s white, about five feet 10 and 130 pounds with dark hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information on his where- abouts is asked to call police at 905-579- 1520, extension 2565 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. 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 7 , 2 0 1 5 10 P In April, Minister of Health and Long Term Care Dr. Eric Hoskins created the Scarborough/West Durham panel to develop a plan to address how hospitals in the area can work together to deliver acute health-care programs and services to meet the needs of local residents. The panel is working in conjunction with the Central East Local Health Integration Network. Residents and health-care professionals gathered at the Hilton Garden Inn in Ajax recently to provide their input as part of community consultations done through an ini- tiative of the Rouge Valley Health System and The Scar- borough Hospital. Four panelists were in attendance at the Ajax meeting, which was led by John Ronson. “What’s needed, but more importantly, what’s the need going to be tomorrow?” he asked of the group of resi- dents and representatives from various health-care facil- ities. After individual reflection and group discussions, a number of concerns were listed, including: timely access to health care in various forms; a shortage of specialists; long waiting lists; a need for more long-term care beds and the ability to access those close by; a lack of integra- tion; a lack of funding; and sometimes duplicates of the same resource that aren’t needed. “Home care services ... are underfunded, inaccessible and have long waiting lists and a lack of co-ordination, resources, good management and funding,” said Ms. Spence, listing one of her concerns. Ms. Spence is a concierge in the retirement industry, and took part in recent focus groups on end-of-life care as well. She became involved in Ajax-Pickering Canadian Asso- ciation of Retired Persons when she experienced difficul- ties in the health-care system when her mother-in-law was nearing the end of her life. She said while her mother-in-law’s care was good, she and her husband felt they were involved in a lot of meet- ings with social workers and health-care professionals and it took up too much time. The process didn’t move forward as quickly as she had expected. “It consumed a lot of time when we should have been with our loved one helping her with that process,” she said. She said there needs to be a streamlined, seamless con- tinuum of care that gives patients clear and direct access to care from the first diagnosis through acute care, home- based long-term care, through to palliative care needs. “I feel patient-centred health care is very important,” she said. She added palliative care programs that promote team navigation through hospitals, retirement and long-term care residences will help make the process more stream- lined. “I think at times there appears to be a disconnect when people navigate through the system,” she said. Ms. Spence also wants to see more age-friendly city policies, where structures and environments are in place to enhance quality of life as people age. Randy Filinski, chairman of Ajax-Pickering CARP, said the group believes end-of-life care is an important issue facing Durham residents. CARP was involved when Rouge Valley hosted public discussions on the topic in late 2014 and continues to study the issue. “It is resonating, and when you take away the end-of- life discussion, you get down to the role of the caregiver,” Mr. Filinski said. He said people between 50 and 70 years of age are now caring for their older parents and friends. “The caregiver has this heavy burden of responsibility of care that the health-care system can’t provide,” he said. He said this can often cause depression, anxiety and stress. “We’ve really got to look at caregiver burnout,” he said. Ms. Spence agrees and feels there must be support for informal caregivers such as family members, who require educational resources, financial support and workplace leave protection. CARP would like to see a senior care network in Dur- ham to really take care of the frail seniors and their care- givers. Mr. Filinski said there’s also a need for a focus on dementia care. “There’s not a lot of education available in Durham until something happens,” he said. People need to know how to identify Alzheimer’s and dementia, and information on what’s available. The good news is both two topics are top priorities for funding from the Central East LHIN, he said. Finally, he said the Province needs to start talking in consumer language and stay away from acronyms. “For the future of health care, we really have to look at branding or naming conventions for the public that make sense,” he said. Both Ms. Spence and Mr. Filinski have a good feeling about this exercise, that it will actually make a difference in Durham’s health care. “I think what they’ve allowed us to do is be on the inside of health care,” he said. He said in August, the Central East LHIN ran three focus groups on this topic. “They’re not talking amongst themselves and saying, ‘Now let’s go tell somebody and see what they think,’” he said. “They want to talk to people first and then come up with ideas.” The panel expects to finish its report in October and will then submit it to the ministry.

Keyboard, mouse lessons offered at Pickering Library Durham man accused of luring teen girl DURHAM -- A Clarington man has been arrested on allegations he attempted to lure a teenaged girl he met online for a sex- ual encounter. Investigators are now working to deter- mine if any other minors were contact- ed by a suspect who identified himself in online conversations as Todd, Durham police said. Police said a suspect made arrangements to meet with someone he believed to be a 15-year-old girl with whom he communi- cated online. In reality the chats involved undercover cops, police confirmed. It’s alleged the man made arrangements to meet the girl for a sexual encounter. When a suspect showed up at the parking lot of an Oshawa movie theatre Thursday, Sept. 10, a man was arrested without inci- dent. Todd Wilbur, 48 of Taunton Road in Clar- ington, is charged with: luring to facilitate sexual interference; luring to make child pornography; invitation to sexual touching and exposing genitals to a person under 16. He was scheduled to have a bail hearing Friday in Oshawa. The investigation continues.

A Regional staff analysis of collision his- tory found having the cameras wouldn’t improve safety, would require hiring more staff and aren’t needed. Susan Siopis, the Region’s director of transportation and field services, said, “The benefit-cost analysis does not support red light cameras.” One reason the cameras aren’t needed is the Region has been “pro-active” in traf- fic safety measures, Ms. Siopis said, add- ing those measure reduce driver frustra- tion which leads to motorists running a red light. “We have a very low rate of red-light run- ning,” Ms. Siopis added. A consultant retained by the Region stud- ied 499 signalized intersections, including a history of traffic accidents at each location. Only one intersection -- Ritson Road and Bond Street -- supports a business case for a camera, she noted. Ms. Siopis added at least three new staff members would be needed to deal with the extra work created by the cameras. Installing 10 red-light cameras would cost $504,000 ($50,400 each) annually in oper- ating costs. Over a five-year period, that works out to $2.52 million, with an addi- tional $1.75 million needed for new staff, bring the total to $4.27 million. Revenue from tickets would be $2.6 million, leaving the Region having to cover $1.67 million. If the cameras were installed, there would be a 25 per cent reduction in T-bone or angle collisions, she noted, but added rear- end collisions would go up 15 per cent. Pickering Councillor Bill McLean, who supports having the cameras installed, said he was “really disappointed” with the report. “When we brought this forward, the last thing in my mind was a revenue source. This is strictly a safety measure to supple- ment the police,” Coun. McLean said. Ms. Siopis noted traffic fatalities have dropped from 30 10 years ago to 17. “Almost all are at rural intersections where red-light cameras wouldn’t be post- ed and running a red isn’t an issue,” Ms. Siopis said. “We wouldn’t see the safety improve- ments the way we thought we’d see,” she said after the analysis was completed. Ajax Councillor Shaun Collier said, “The bottom line is people are just bad drivers these days. Everybody’s rushing.” He said at Rossland and Lakeridge roads he’s seen dump trucks and other large vehi- cles go through the red lights quite often. He said the “fall-out effect” of a red-light camera would cover a three-kilometre radi- us. Ms. Siopis said, “Red-light cameras don’t deter unintentional red-light running. It might deter unintentional runners and we don’t have a lot of them.” Police report there’s a “low incidence of red-light running. It’s not a good use of resources for them to be sitting out there,” Ms. Siopis added. Oshawa Councillor Bob Chapman said staff had done the analysis and found the cameras weren’t warranted. He said it would be better to give the Dur- ham Regional Police another $1 million to have 10 new officers focused solely on traf- fic issues than spending money on the cam- eras. The cameras “aren’t going to increase safety in the Region of Durham. They won’t have that much of a positive effect,” Coun. Chapman said. Coun. Collier said if the cameras aren’t tested, the Region won’t know if they would have an effect. Ajax Councillor Colleen Jordan wanted the report referred back to staff to gather more information, but didn’t have enough support. Council will deal with the issue on Sept. 23. TORONTO -- It’s unlikely red-light cameras will be coming to Durham Region any time soon. A Regional staff analysis of collision history found having the cameras wouldn’t improve safety, would require hiring more staff and aren’t needed. These cameras are used in Toronto at 77 intersections.

The 13 year old is Toys ‘R’ Us Canada’s chief play officer, a job he’s had since he was 11. Alex will retire on his 14th birthday in Decem- ber to focus on his studies at Pickering High School, and the search for the next CPO is on. Responsibilities include participating in toy training sessions, testing toys, serving as a company spokeskid and sharing the lat- est toy trends through online and promo- tional videos. The CPO is compensated for their time. Kids between the ages of 11 and 13 from across Canada can apply by submitting a short video showcasing why they should be the next CPO, before 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 4. All eligible videos will be evaluated based on originality, creativity and enthusiasm. Visit www.toysrus.ca/cposearch for details and to submit applications. Alex met up with the News Advertiser to answer five questions. Q & A Q: Why did you want to become CPO? A: I mean who wouldn’t? It’s the greatest job ever. They literally send me toys and I get to keep all the toys. And I wasn’t that scared of going on camera and doing interviews. So I was like, ‘Hey, this is a good job for me, I’m going to do this.’ And I did it and I succeeded because I’m the CPO. Q: What is the best part of the job? A: I really love the toys, because what kid wouldn’t like toys? But I also love that I got to travel. I got to travel all over Canada, so I got to visit Vancouver, Montreal, places like that. Q: What were some of your favourite toys? A: I liked Skylanders Trap Team. It was a game in the Skylanders series. What the Skylanders series is, is you have little figurines and you put them on a special portal that connects into your Wii or Wii U or whatever. Whatev- er character you connect into the portal actu- ally goes into the game and you play as that character. And then in Trap Team, what was special was you had little traps, and when you defeated certain villains, then you could trap them and then play as the villains. Q: What advice do you have for the next CPO? A: For your submission video just try to make it creative and unique. I mean Toys ‘R’ Us is going to be going through a lot of videos so you want to make yours stand out from the rest. (If you get the job) make the most out of it. A year could pass by quickly. You know time flies when you’re having fun. And this job is all about fun, so it really flies -- like at Mach 1. Q: What’s next for you? A: Well, I’m just going to focus on high school for a while. I do have my acting career which I’ll try to pursue a bit more. And also with all this Toys ‘R’ Us stuff and going on live TV appearances, I realized I’ve really had a lot of fun doing those and I’d like to be a morning show host. That’s my long-term goal. Alex Thorne Board launched new Grade 7-12 model with start of school year Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- If you ask Mark Homeniuk what has him most excited about the new school year, he doesn’t hesitate: “Having a locker.” It’s a big deal to many of the Grade 7 stu- dents who will be attending Oshawa’s Mon- signor John Pereyma CSS this fall, as part of a new Grade 7 to 12 model at the Oshawa high school. “I’m a little bit nervous but mostly really excited,” says Mark, 11. His mother, Catherine Homeniuk, is happy that he will have access to a full instrumental music program, something that wasn’t available at his small elementa- ry school. She says attending a high school in a “graduated” way could also make the even- tual transition to Grade 9 much smoother. “I think it won’t be so scary for him.” On Sept. 2, the Homeniuks were among dozens of incoming Grade 7 and 8 students and their parents who visited Pereyma for an orientation barbecue. This fall, the school will become one of the first in Durham Region to house Grades 7 through 12 under one roof. French language schools often offer the option -- including Whitby’s École secon- daire catholique Saint-Charles-Garnier -- but this is new territory for an English lan- guage school in Durham. Durham Catholic District School Board trustees voted last November to move Pereyma to a 7-12 model, citing steadily declining enrolment. The school’s 2014/2015 population was 509 students, a number officials forecast would drop to 380 by 2017. About 160 Grade 7 and 8 students who previously attended John XXIII, Msgr. Phil- ip Coffey, St. Hedwig and St. Thomas Aqui- nas Catholic schools are making the move to Pereyma. At first, the change didn’t sit well with many parents, who voiced concerns about the lack of community consultation as well as the logistics of integrating students as young as 11 with those as old as 18. “There was some initial anxiety, but now what we’re hearing from parents is over- whelmingly positive,” says Pereyma prin- cipal Christopher Cuddy. “The Grade 7s and 8s will have access to so many more resources that they didn’t have at their elementary school, like science labs and a music room and more sports teams.” Mr. Cuddy says the main concern from parents was interaction between young- er and older students, which has been addressed by creating a separate upstairs wing of classrooms for the Grade 7s and 8s. They will also have their own separate entrance and dismissal times. “I don’t really have any concerns, I’m happy they will be offering things her other school didn’t,” says parent Carmen Con- forti, whose daughter Bailee, 12, is starting Grade 8 at Pereyma. Bailee said she is “excited” and also cited having a locker as a highlight of the school year. The $1.75-million renovation at Perey- ma includes a new vice-principal office, updates to the cafeteria servery and a new gym. The school library has been trans- formed into a “learning commons” with modern furniture, a lab with interac- tive screens and more than 100 electronic devices students can use -- a resource both age groups will benefit from. “You used to have the concept of a library where people would be saying ‘shhhhhh.’ This is all about collaboration and lots of activity and students working together,” says DCDSB superintendent Tim Robins, noting there is also quiet work space avail- able. While Pereyma is the first English lan- guage Grade 7 to 12 school in Durham, it won’t be the last. The DCDSB is submitting an application to the Province for a Catholic Grade 7 to 12 school in Brooklin. 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 7 , 2 0 1 5 14 AP *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* FREE LIFETIME OIL CHANGES WITH EVERY NEW OR PRE-OWNED VEHICLE PURCHASE.

ThankstoyouThankstoyou PleaseVoteagaininRound2PleaseVoteagaininRound2 -2015 r eader’s ChoiCe aWards - Durham warns of phoney water treatment sales pitches DURHAM -- Durham Region is urging resi- dents to be wary of salespeople going door- to-door selling water treatment and meter- ing equipment. The items aren’t endorsed by the Region, says John Presta, Durham’s director of envi- ronmental services. “In the past few weeks, we’ve had sev- eral residents contact us to inquire about door-to-door salespersons, for certain water treatment companies, that claim they are municipal water representatives or that their products are endorsed by the munic- ipality,” Mr. Presta says. “These compa- nies are misrepresenting themselves. The Region of Durham does not sell or endorse water filters, or treatment equipment for residents. The Region provides clean, safe drinking water, which meets provincial water quality standards. Our water under- goes daily monitoring and testing and does not require further filtration or monitoring at residents’ expense.” If a salesperson shows up at your door, remember the following to protect yourself from scams: • Ask for identification. Regional employees and authorized contractors carry photo ID. • Did you request this house call? Regional staff will not visit without sending an official letter and scheduling an appointment. • Call the visiting organization, or the Region, to confirm the visit is legitimate. • Don’t feel pressured to sign contracts on the spot, or to let anyone into your home. • Never give out your personal information. The Region of Durham has established a Residential Meter Replacement/Upgrade program with its contractor, Neptune Tech- nology Group, to replace or upgrade the meters in homes at no charge to residents. Before contractors show up, residents will receive an official letter from the Region notifying them of the water meter replace- ment. Residents will also receive a letter from Neptune Technology Group advising you of how to book your appointment. The letter requests that residents set up an appointment with the contractor.

Durham College relaunches Experience campaign DURHAM -- Experience 2.0 is under- way. Durham College has launched the sec- ond year of Experience DC, the school’s multi-platform social media marketing campaign. Created, developed and run by the college’s communications and market- ing department, the initiative is aimed at raising brand awareness, building the school’s reputation and supporting a recruitment strategy. A goal of the campaign is to connect with prospective and current students, parents, teachers and the larger com- munity. It will feature 39 team mem- bers, including students, employees and alumni. “It’s exciting to once again be part of Team Experience, but this time as an alumnus,” said Sean Noseworthy, recent graduate of DC’s biomedical engineer- ing technology program. “I landed a job with GE Healthcare as soon as I gradu- ated, and it’ll be fun to share my experi- ence of going from college into a career.” For more information, visit experi- ence.durhamcollege.ca . 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.

The Highbush Public School Eco Club has been working with the City of Pickering for the past six months on a com- munity enhancement project, valued up to $10,000, as part of winning last year’s Celebrating Sustainable Neighbourhoods program. “The Neighbourhood program reflects our community’s commitment to a sustainable future, and showcases all that can be achieved through partnerships, including that of our Sustainable Pickering contributors,” said Mayor Ryan. The project includes: an educational, water-efficient, native butterfly garden that has official designation by Monarch Watch, a co-operative network of students, teachers, volunteers and researchers dedi- cated to the study of the monarch butter- fly. The garden contains 700 plants from 28 different native species. It will also include an interpretive sign and decorative plant markers. The project also features a bench made from recycled materials to sit, relax, and enjoy the new space, and a dynamic art feature made from recycled materials that portrays a butterfly’s lifecycle. “This project is a true celebration of the staff and students’ passion and dedica- tion to making Pickering a sustainable and vibrant community,” said Chris Braney, Pickering Durham District School Board trustee. The school is also planting eight new trees near the sport fields to offer shade for players and spectators. “It has been a motivating project,” said Michael Ringrose, teacher and Eco Club lead at Highbush Public School. “Working with the City of Pickering, this opportunity has allowed our school and community members to be engaged in meaningful environmental action. It will educate residents about the species that live nearby and show what we all can do to protect local ecosystems.” The students engaged nearby residents to gain a better understanding of enhance- ment preferences and were met with over- whelming support and offers of assistance with project implementation and mainte- nance. 7.997.99 Tuesday Special $9.99 All Yo u Can Eat Chef’s Fish & Chips $7.99 Jumbo Wings & Chips Mon. &Wed.

Durham Children’s Aid Foundation donors recognized with ‘fish’ OSHAWA -- Sian Gibson, right, executive director of the Durham Children’s Aid Foundation, spoke about the 10 local community leaders being recognized for their generous financial support of local children associated with the Durham Children’s Aid Society. Each donor was recognized with their own ‘fish’ that will join the existing ‘school of fish’ hanging in the foyer of the DCAS building. The fish are symbolic and work with the foyer’s child-friendly, nautical theme.

It’s the story of the conditions that led to the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, and the key role local people played in it. While it failed miserably in a military sense, the rebellions here and in Quebec ultimately led to major political changes. “People get hooked on it -- and the story is real,” says Oshawa resident and director John Edmonds. “We’ve made the decision that we’re not stopping. We’re still selling tickets; we still have people going ‘wow’, so we’re going to keep going.” The actors and crew come from across the region and many have been involved in A Spirit Walk for years. A former educator, Edmonds says when Grade 7 and 8 kids from Durham see the play, performed at Pickering Museum Vil- lage, history comes to life. For young and old alike, the ‘wow’ factor is that this hap- pened in their community; it’s our histo- ry. Edmonds likes to tell his story about how he got involved and why he’s so pas- sionate about the subject matter. His wife saw A Spirit Walk and returned home rav- ing to Edmonds about how good it was, dragging him along the following year. “It was a Friday night,” he says. “I had had fights with parents, fights with kids ... it was one of those days where nothing at school worked.” In short, he was “not in a mood to go. “I drove from Oshawa to Pickering,” he says. “She’s trying to talk to me -- no responses, nothing.” The first scene piqued his interest. He became more and more enthusiastic and “by the fourth scene I pushed people out of the way to be in the front.” When it was over, Edmonds “was dying to understand, know more about what happened right here where I live.” He had never been a big history buff, but seeing this story, this local story, changed that. He notes A Spirit Walk has been per- formed in Toronto and in Sanilac County, Michigan, where rebels settled and where their descendants still live. As Edmonds explains, in the Upper Can- ada (southern Ontario) of the 1830s, the farmers who took part in the rebellion had a number of grievances and had had enough. Clearing roads by themselves, paying high taxes (much of the money went to Toronto improvements), edu- cating their children on their own. If you weren’t a part of the colony’s in-crowd, namely the all-powerful Tory elite, the Family Compact, you were at a distinct disadvantage. Peaceful efforts to improve their situation came to naught and the anger built until the rebels, armed with guns and pitchforks, marched on Toronto. But before the actual battle with the mili- tia, they met at Montgomery’s Tavern. Problem one: “they met at a tavern,” Edmonds says. On top of this, word that the rebels were there and about to attack was not a closely guarded secret and they were expected. Most of the rebels came from Pickering. The second largest con- tingent was from Uxbridge and area and others came from Oshawa, Whitby and all over Durham. The rebellion was a disas- ter -- on the battlefield. However the reb- els ultimately won as responsible govern- ment was to come. Edmonds says “we believe it is Durham’s longest running show on Durham’s larg- est stage.” See it Sept. 18, 19, 25 and 26 at the muse- um village, 2365 6th Concession Rd. Tickets are $20 and available online at the eStore, estore.pickering.ca/events/ eventtypes.aspx, or in person at the muse- um village gift shop. PICKERING -- Catherine Hodge as Ruth Munger and Daniel Gelbard as Samuel Munger will be taking part in Backwoods Players’ A Spirit Walk at the Pickering Museum Village September 18, 19, 25 and 26. In its 20th year, the production is a dramatic perfor- mance of the events leading up to the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837 and the part local people played in it. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Former Ajacian in Oshawa Opera’s Suor Angelica DURHAM -- Oshawa Opera is back for a third season, opening with a performance of Suor Angelica. See it on Sept. 27 in Oshawa, and if you don’t speak Italian, no problemo, says founder and music director Kristine Dan- davino, who sets it up. “Il trittico (The Triptych) is the title of a collection of three one-act operas, Il tabar- ro, Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi, by Giacomo Puccini,” says the Oshawa mez- zo-soprano and pianist. “The opera will be sung in Italian and will showcase two sing- ers originally from Durham Region. This is a great first-time opera because it is short and the story is very easy to understand. Suor Angelica is sent to live in a convent due to having a child out of wedlock and is forced by her family to join a convent, where she receives love and support from the other religious sisters but none from her family. After a seven-year absence, her aunt visits her and lets her know that her child has died. Stricken with grief, Suor Angelica takes her own life to join her child in the afterlife.” The opera lasts about an hour and the cast is made up entirely of women. La Maestra delle Novizie is played by Christina Campsall, who was raised in Uxbridge and until recently lived in Ajax. Suor Genoveffa is Brooklin-raised Britta- ny King. And from Oshawa, Jennifer Mizzi is sing- ing Osmina, and Annie Foy, 9, makes her debut in a silent role as the child of Suor Angelica. Additional cast members include Natalya Gennadi Matyusheva as Suor Angelica, Catharin Carew as La Zia Principessa, Kaili Kinnon as La Badessa and Rachelle Kelly as La Suora Zelatrice. The performance is at 3 p.m. at Kings- view United Church, 505 Adelaide Ave. E. Tickets are $25 for adults and children can attend for free. Tickets are available online at www.theoshawaopera.com or at the door. The venue is fully accessible and parking is free. ‘People get hooked on it -- and the story is real.’ John Edmonds 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 7 , 2 0 1 5 28 AP Breakfast Seminar Series A breakfast meeting with keynote speaker:John Stanton Founder and CEO of the Running Room and guest speaker: Dan Plowman Sales Representative/Team Leader of Dan Plowman Team Realty Inc.

A win in the semifinals of the FIBA America’s championship on Friday, Sept. 11 would have punched a ticket to the Games for the Canadian squad, but they lost to Ven- ezuela in a 79-78 heartbreaker. “They out-hustled us, they out-worked us. I didn’t lead my team today. I’m disap- pointed. It happens,” said Joseph, a team captain, in a press release. Joseph, the team’s point guard, finished the game with five points, four assists and three rebounds. The game was close throughout, with Canada down 38-37 at the half, but up 60-58 heading to the fourth quarter. Canada squandered a seven-point lead with 3:19 left in the game, the winning margin of one point coming on a free throw by Venezuela with 0.3 seconds remaining. With the loss, Canada will have to wait until next summer for a chance to qualify for the Rio Olympics through a qualification tournament with a host site to be deter- mined. Canada did manage to salvage some- thing the following day, beating host Mexico 87-86 to earn bronze. Joseph was instru- mental in the win, scoring 11 points with six rebounds and eight assists. He hit two jump shots in the final minute, including a buzzer- beater, to put Canada on top. “We battled it out with Mexico. Obviously, they are a great team,” said Joseph. “They picked it up after the first quarter, gained the lead on us. “This tournament we didn’t reach our goal that we wanted to reach, but we’re leav- ing here with something, so that’s a plus. I feel like we took a step in the right direction as a group and will continue to build for next summer.” Moonlight hoping Pan Am magic rubs off Canada’s 15s team opens Rugby World Cup Sept. 19 against Ireland Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING — In a season that has pro- duced one gold medal with Canada’s 7s team, John Moonlight will be in search of another with the 15s national squad at the Rugby World Cup. The Pickering resident was named to Canada’s team that will compete in Eng- land during the tournament from Sept. 18 to Oct. 31. Moonlight is a fixture, and captain, of Canada’s 7s rugby team, leading the team to the gold medal at the Pan Am Games in front of a supportive crowd at BMO Field in Toronto in July. Finally being included on the 15s team at a prestigious interna- tional event was something he was striv- ing for, and earning the national blazer at a ceremony prior to heading overseas was gratifying. “It was an unreal feeling to finally earn the blazer and be selected for a World Cup team,” he said through an e-mail from England as Canada prepared for its open- ing game. “I was on the cusp four years ago, so to finally make it is a great feeling. “As with every tournament we want to go out there and perform to the best of our abilities. If we put in a performance we can be proud of on the field, who knows how far we can make it?” Canada is in Pool D for the 20-team World Cup, and opens on Saturday, Sept. 19 against Ireland at the Millennium Sta- dium in Cardiff, Wales. Games will follow against Italy (Sept. 26), France (Oct. 1) and Romania (Oct. 6). Canada has competed at all seven pre- vious World Cups, compiling an overall record of 6-16-2. But Moonlight is hoping some of the Pan Am magic, that saw Can- ada’s 7s team go on a dramatic run that culminated with an exciting 22-19 win over Argentina in the gold-medal final, the winning try coming with just 30 sec- onds left in the game, will rub off on the 15s team. “The Pan Ams was an unreal experi- ence,” said Moonlight in reflecting on winning gold on home soil and close to home. “We talked a lot about playing inspirational rugby and we performed there. Much like the Pan Ams, I think we need to do the same thing at the World Cup to help build the rugby fan base in Canada. “It was a quick transfer over to 15s for me as I only had a week off before I joined the team and had to shift my focus to making the World Cup team.” Regardless of whether there are seven or 15 players on the field, Moonlight’s approach to the game is the same once he pulls the Canadian jersey on. “I don’t think I have much change between playing the two codes. My main goal is always to perform to the best of my abilities and to helping everyone else around me do the same.” Canada’s best finish at the World Cup came in 1991, reaching the quarter-final, losing to New Zealand who finished third. It was a busy summer for Moon- light, who now lives and trains in Brit- ish Columbia with the national program. The 28 year old spent much of it with the 7s program in preparation for the Pan Am Games. Leading up to the Rugby World Cup, Canada played eight warmup matches, including competing in the Pacific Nations Cup, as well as friendlies against the USA, Georgia and Fiji. Once the World Cup is over, Moon- light will return to his duties with the 7s national team, trying to earn a coveted spot at the 2016 Olympic Games. “I will have a couple weeks off before I will join up with the 7s squad in the pre- season training,” he said. “We have a huge year ahead of us and with our last chance to qualify for Rio in June, our team will be doing everything possible to make sure at that moment we are ready.” Canada is ranked ninth in the world in rugby 7s, 18th overall in 15s. TORONTO -- Canada men’s rugby sevens captain John Moonlight, a Pickering native, is hoping that some of the magic from the Pan Am Games gold medal-winning team rubs off on the 15s squad at the Rugby World Cup. Moonlight and his Canadian team- mates open against Ireland on Sept. 19.

Gaskin drafted into Canadian Women’s Hockey League PICKERING — Katie Gaskin will be mov- ing into the professional ranks of hockey as her career continues. The Pickering resident was selected in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League draft in the fifth round, 22nd overall, by the Toronto Furies. A former member of the Durham West Jr. Lightning, Gaskin received a full schol- arship to Wayne State University in Mich- igan, but after her freshman year, the women’s hockey program was cut. She transferred to the Elmira College Soar- ing Eagles, a Division-3 school in New York, for her final three years of NCAA eli- gibility. As a junior, the defenceman was named a co-captain, leading her team to a national title at the conclusion of the 2012-2013 season. Gaskin became the fourth player draft- ed in Elmira’s history. A 2014 graduate of Elmira, Gaskin helped the team hold opponents to a 1.3 goals-per-game aver- age during her three-year career. She also chipped in offensively. In 77 games she had 24 points on four goals and 20 assists. Her best season was her senior year in 2013-2014 when she contributed 12 points on one goal and 11 helpers. Lorne Schiele and Berkeley Emmons win tournament in Sarnia SARNIA — Lorne Schiele and Berkeley Emmons from the Pickering Lawn Bowling Club won the Ontario novice gold medal at a tournament in Sarnia Sept. 13. The Ontario Lawn Bowling Association novice tournament is for those who have been playing the sport for five years or less. The Pickering pair reached the provin- cial final by winning district 14, which cov- ers Pickering to Cobourg and north to the Peterborough area. Ontario has 16 districts, which were ran- domly drawn into four groups of four for the tournament. The top two teams from each, after three games Saturday, reached Sunday’s elimi- nation round, where Schiele and Emmons won all three games to claim gold. The final game against Dresden was tied 15-15 after 10 ends, but Schiele and Emmons pulled away to win 24-17. The same team had handed Pickering its lone defeat of the weekend, 12-11 in an extra end, a day earlier. Aaliyah Scott and Jayde Riviere part of future of Canadian women’s soccer PICKERING — A couple of talented soccer players from Pickering had the chance to participate in the Canada Soccer Women’s National EXCEL U14, U17 development camp. Aaliyah Scott and Jayde Riviere, both 14, were among the 26 players who took part in the camp in British Columbia in early September. Scott is a student at Dunbar- ton High School, while Riviera attends St. Mary Catholic School. The development camp is designed to ensure more of Canada’s young female players find their way into the best com- petitive environments, thus providing Canada’s women’s national team with a steady stream of high calibre players to ensure Canada remains competitive on the world stage. September’s camp brought together a mixture of talent, half of whom have had the opportunity to experience three youth FIFA World Cups, and some new recruits who have been identified since the previ- ous EXCEL development camp in April. This combination of experienced inter- national competitors, and fresh faces, gives the EXCEL program a depth of talent ahead of next summer’s FIFA U-17 Wom- en’s World Cup Jordan 2016, and with a full quarter of attendees eligible for the following FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in 2018.

HAINEAULT, Camilla. March 15, 1935 - September 11, 2015. It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Camilla, a woman of character and grace. Camilla laughed easily and sang constantly. She had a great love of art, theatre and classical music. But by far her greatest love was the unconditional love of family. Camilla was the loving mother of Christine, Steven (Christine) and Maurice (Laura). The cherished Granny of Breanne, Joshua, Adam, Eric, Laura, Julian and Cameron, and the adored Great Granny of Maurice, Nicholas, Elijah and Zayne. Always ready for company with a fresh pot of tea and homemade coffee cake. For this and so much more, we grieve and find great comfort surrounded by those she left behind. Forever in our hearts. Visitation will be held Sunday September 20, 2015 from 2pm to 4pm at LVIV HALL, 38 LVIV Blvd, Oshawa. A Celebration of Camilla's life will be held at CHRIST CHURCH, 81 Hillcroft St., Oshawa, Monday September 21, 2015 at 11am. Followed by light refreshments. TREMPE, MILDRED (Babe) - - Peacefully at Fosterbrooke on Tuesday, September 15, 2015 in her 97th year. Beloved wife of John. Dear mother of Lee & Donna. Proud "Aunt Mil" of Mike (Tara) and Great- Aunt Mil of Ty, Nolan and Luke. Fondly remembered by her family and friends. Visitation will be held at the McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Old Kingston Rd., Ajax (905-428-8488) on Friday, September 18 from 10:00 - 11:00 am, with a Funeral Service to follow in the Chapel of the Funeral Home at 11:00 am.
