With about 600 people attending the event, held at Ajax Riding candidate Mark Holland’s cam- paign headquarters, Mr. Trudeau said, “It ain’t over until it’s over. We need everyone to get out and keep working hard.” Joining Mr. Trudeau were all Liberal candidates in Durham Region, as well as hopefuls from other ridings, including former Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair, who is running for the Grits in Scarborough Southwest. Mr. Trudeau said, “On Oct. 19, Canadians can chose a better government. This government is out of touch, this government is out of ideas. The good news is if we keep working hard, this gov- ernment will be out of time. We’ll replace it with a better government.” He noted Prime Minister Stephen Harper is seeking his fourth mandate to lead the country. “It’s time for real change and we have the plan. The most progressive platform is the Liberal plat- form,” Mr. Trudeau said. Perhaps in a reflection of recent polls that show the New Democratic Party trailing the Liberals by as much as 15 per cent, Mr. Trudeau didn’t men- tion NDP leader Thomas Mulcair. Mr. Trudeau only spoke for about five minutes and then made his way through the crowd, often being stopped to pose for selfies. “With just five days left in the campaign, let’s make the most of every minute. Mr. Harper and the Conservatives will use every dirty trick and negative ad against us. It’s the way they came in and it will be the way they go out,” he said to cheers. “Fear and divisiveness aren’t working here and it’s not working in Canada,” Mr. Trudeau added. “We’ll replace his vision of small and mean with open and positive. It’s a chance to take this coun- try from Stephen Harper and give it back to Cana- dians. “Stay hopeful. Never stop working hard and get out there,” he implored the crowd. “Stephen Harp- er wants you to believe better is not possible. His job depends on it. Better is always possible.” Prior to Mr. Trudeau’s arrival, Jennifer O’Connell, the Liberal candidate in Pickering- Uxbridge, said, “It’s has been a very long cam- paign, but an incredible one. With five days, I can’t imagine a better boost for our candidates.” The rally is a “jolt of energy we all need to get us through to the end of the campaign,” she said. Mr. Holland told the crowd, “We’re on the preci- pice of history. The face of fear of Stephen Harper will be met head on. It’ll be met with one of inclu- sion.” AJAX -- Liberal leader Justin Trudeau spoke outside of Ajax riding candidate Mark Holland’s campaign office on Oct. 14.

Ms. Rimer -- who partners with Durham Regional Police to host local forums on child safety -- says kids need simple rules that don’t require them to problem-solve. “They shouldn’t have to rely on intuition at a young age,” she explains, stressing the focus should be on behaviour, not specific people or types of people. For example, children should be told that no one should ever ask them to keep a secret from their parents, and that they should tell a trusted adult about any touching that makes them uncomfortable -- even if it doesn’t seem sexual in nature. Ms. Rimer says this is important because predators often “groom” children by start- ing with non-sexual touching. Other simple guidelines for kids include identifying what type of strangers to approach if they are lost (a mother with children, a store employee), that they have the right to say “no” to adults and have their personal boundaries respected, and not to go anywhere with anyone unless they have their parent’s permission. Constable Angie Sitaram, a school resource officer with Durham Regional Police, says she still hears many parents and teachers talk about stranger danger -- a myth she and other experts are working to dispel. “Most adults are going to want to help a child who is lost or in trouble. We don’t want kids to be afraid of everyone,” she says. According to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, between 40,000 and 50,000 children are reported missing to police in Canada each year. Most are older children who have run away from home. Other common scenarios include paren- tal child abductions or younger children who wander off or get lost. In 2013, 33 out of 41,035 missing child reports in Canada were cases of “strang- er abduction” -- a classification that can sometimes include a non-parent who is known to the child. Const. Sitaram says one of the best things parents can do is create a climate of mutu- al respect with their children. That means parents and kids letting each other know where they’re going, who they’re with and when they will be back -- and keeping lines of communication open so children feel safe speaking up if they’re in trouble or experience something that makes them uncomfortable. -- Jillian Follert has been a journalist in Durham Region for more than 10 years and is passionate about telling local stories. • See this story and more in the latest edition of Durham Parent magazine Tips for Parents: • Start early; kids can understand sim- ple safety rules as young as age two or three. Safety education is a process, not a one-time talk. • Once children are in school, have them memorize their name, address, phone number and parents’ full names. • Tell children not to go anywhere with anyone without a parent’s permission. The Canadian Centre for Child Pro- tection notes: “If asked to go and your parents don’t know, shout no.” • Teach children who to ask for help if they get separated from you -- exam- ples include a uniformed officer, store employee or mother with children. • Practise “what if” scenarios. “What would you do if a neighbour offered you a ride home?” “What would you do if you got lost at the mall?” • Plan a family password that anyone picking up your child would provide. • If a child is grabbed by a stranger, teach them to yell specific phrases such as, “I need help” or “This is not my mom/dad” so bystanders don’t assume they are just having a tantrum. • Instruct your child to take the same route to and from school each day, and help them identify safe places along that route to go for help -- i.e. stores, libraries, community centres. ‘‘Most adults are going to want to help a child who is lost or in trouble.

The area that was once a sterile con- crete patio is now intended to be a place known as a peaceful setting with fresh air, greenery and patient- and family-friendly access. Phase I of the donor-funded project was revealed in June, but the completion of the work was revealed on Oct. 8. The Town of Ajax was celebrated for donating the funds to make Phase II construction and planting improvements possible. Not only were the patio materials and work funded entirely by donations for both phases, the architectural design and services themselves were donated by Henry Kortekaas, principal landscape architect at Henry Kortekaas and Associ- ates Inc. Additions to the True North Garden for the second phase include increased seating areas, along with planted garden areas. The RVHS Foundation also acknowl- edged Arnts: The Landscape Supplier for donating soil was used in the patio plant- ers and elsewhere on hospital grounds. Truck sought in hit and run that left Pickering man with serious injuries PICKERING -- Police have released imag- es of a dump truck believed to have been involved in a hit-and-run incident last week that left a Pickering man with serious injuries. The 52 year old, who was found lying in the roadway at the corner of Liverpool and Kingston roads at about 2:50 a.m. Oct. 9, remains in hospital in serious condition, Durham police said. The man, who was found with no identification, sustained serious injuries. Investigators were at first uncertain how the man came to be injured, but concluded he’d been struck by a vehicle that failed to remain at the scene. They’ve now released surveillance camera photos of a truck believed to have been involved. It’s a large, three-axle dump truck that was pulling a pup trailer. The truck is white, with a red stripe painted across the side of the cab. The dump box and accompanying trailer were grey with red boards running along the top edge. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 5213 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.True North Garden ready to welcome patients at Ajax-Pickering hospital AJAX -- Katie and Henry Kortekaas, the landscape architects of Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital’s True North Garden, walked through the garden during its unveiling Oct. 8.

The teen’s parents called cops Tuesday, Oct. 13 after discovering he’d bought marijuana, police said. The bright green and orange lollipops are now being tested, but police believe they contain THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. The candies were covered with clear plastic wrapping that was bound by colourful elastics. Police also seized a quantity of marijua- na.

The seizure was made after parents of a Whitby teen found him in possession of pot and called police. Submitted photo Police False gun call sees cops converge on south Ajax neighbourhood AJAX -- An armed person report that saw police converge on the area surrounding an Ajax high school Wednesday morning turned out to be a false alarm. Archbishop Denis O’Connor High School was placed in a hold and secure status for a short time after the report, which was made to a police officer at the school just before 9 a.m. Oct. 14. Durham police said a student claimed to have heard gunfire at a business on near- by Harwood Avenue. Officers responded but found no evidence to substantiate the report, Sergeant Bill Calder said. A student eventually admitted to hav- ing made the false report. The student has been spoken to and no charges are antici- pated, Sgt. Calder said. Last week, people throughout Durham Region celebrated Thanksgiving, grateful for the many riches they experience in their lives. Let’s hope Durham residents give thanks in a different fashion on Monday, Oct. 19 -- gratitude for living in a democracy. One sure way to do that is to vote. The federal election takes place that day and polls will be open from 9:30 a.m. until 9:30 p.m., giving voters plenty of time to cast their ballots. It’s an encouraging sign that Elections Canada reported an increase in voters at last weekend’s advance polls. This has been an unusually long cam- paign and you’d be forgiven for thinking it was too long. It was called Aug. 2, during the Civic holiday weekend and will have lasted 11 weeks by the time it’s all over. Most election campaigns are about half that. During this period, there have been lead- ers’ debates, attack ads on the national level, campaign bloopers, social media flubs, a noticeable absence of some can- didates at local election forums, and even the withdrawal of some candidates across the country. It’s made for interesting times. But on Monday it’s all down to the vot- ers who will get to mark their X next to the candidate of their choice. It’s important that you, the voter, head to the polls on Monday. People come to live in Canada from all over the world and one of the prime reasons must be our democ- racy and our right to cast our votes in elec- tions at all levels, from federal to provincial to municipal. Some immigrants may never have experi- enced that in their orig- inal homelands. Even if your fam- ily has been in Canada for gen- erations, chances are your ances- tors came here for more free- doms. Voting is one of them. Whether you vote for the party you like or the person you prefer or even go in for a bit of strategic voting in your riding, it’s impor- tant to vote. Period. Your voter information card will tell you when and where you vote. Remember, this time around that card won’t serve as identification. Go to www.election- scanada.ca to find out what ID you need at the polls. If you haven’t already, read up on the issues and the candidates. Head to www.durhamre- gion.com for informa- tion on local candidates, their take on issues, and reporters’ stories on local debates. Remember, the govern- ment of Canada is determined by the voters. Be thankful that responsibility rests with you. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Tim Whittaker - Publisher • Joanne Burghardt - Editor-in-Chief • Mike Johnston - Managing Editor • Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising Deb MacDonald - Sales Manager• Abe Fakhourie - Distribution Manager • Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

While doing so, I opened up your news- paper and read the article on saluting and keeping a warm thought for the first responders that attended the tragic acci- dent on Hwy. 401 Friday night. I stopped eating and became focused on what was written. In fact, it brought a tear to my eye and made me feel proud. I was one of those who responded to the scene and spent time with the victims. Myself and numerous other officers came from Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa and even Port Perry to help. I know it is something that I will never forget. Often the police are cast in a negative light in the media. Sometimes we are taken for granted or criticized by those we are sworn to protect. On behalf of all the police officers that attended the scene I want to convey a sincere thank you for your kind words and thoughts. Rest assured that we will continue to do the job we are sworn to do each day. PC Jon Hood #946 Durham Regional Police Conservative supporter no more To the editor: Yes, I can take a selfish view when voting and give the Harper government four more years but I’m not going to. I have support- ed the Conservative party for the last three elections, financially, campaigning, letter writing, and discussions with friends and family. Unfortunately, I have found that the Conservative party I had hoped would make Canada better has morphed into the Harper party polarizing Canadians causing us to become bitter, selfish, nasty, bigoted, close-minded, suspicious, mean-spirited and many other things we hate about our- selves. Canadians are generally open-mind- ed, progressive, and caring about others’ rights, freedoms, and standard of living. Any party can balance a budget but the things that really matter require leadership which listens, weighs the evidence, and makes decisions which consider the well- being of all constituents. So, five years from now, if we re-elect the Harper Conservatives, can we expect Can- ada to be a more compassionate, progres- sive, prosperous nation? Based on the past record of the current government, I have concluded that we would be in for rough times. It’s time for a real change. Vote Lib- eral.

Promo expires on November 15, 2015 FA LLSALES HARVES TTHE More graduates of Durham universities going from campus to career Employment rate on the rise for graduates of universities across Ontario, says new survey Parvaneh Pessian ppessian@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- An increasing number of Ontario university graduates are finding success in today’s competitive job market, according to a recent survey. The findings of the survey, released last month by the Council of Ontario Universi- ties, state that 94 per cent of graduates of undergraduate programs at universities across the province secure employment two years after finishing their studies -- up from 92 per cent in 2013 -- and 87.6 per cent find jobs just six months after gradu- ating. Durham is home to two universities, both located in Oshawa: the University of Ontario Institute of Technology at 2000 Simcoe St. N., and Trent University’s Dur- ham campus at 55 Thornton Rd. “Numbers like these really showcase the strength of an education at Trent Univer- sity,” said Dr. Jackie Muldoon, interim pro- vost and vice-president academic at Trent. “Employment rates for Trent grads have grown by two per cent in just two years. Through a continued focus on growing our innovative academic programing at both the Peterborough and Durham campuses, we are confident the employability rate of our graduates will continue to grow.” Overall, 76,625 students who graduated from undergraduate programs at Ontar- io universities in 2012 were surveyed between November 2014 and March 2015, with 28,448 (or 35.3 per cent) responding. The latest grad survey, conducted by CCI Research Inc. for Ontario’s Minis- try of Training, Colleges and Universities, also shows that two years after graduating, about 78 per cent of university graduates who are employed full-time consider their work to be directly related to the program they studied. For Trent graduates, specifically, about 86 per cent of the university’s graduates working full-time two years after graduat- ing consider their work directly related to the skills they developed at the university. “In a challenging employment environ- ment, it is very encouraging to see that an ever-increasing number of our graduates are successfully connecting the skills they gained at Trent, to the qualities desired by employers,” said Waleska Vernon, director of student transitions and careers at Trent. The university’s Career Centre offers new initiatives that help students and recent graduates find a career in their chosen fields. Among these initiatives is the Career and Further Education Expo, which pro- vides students who are close to graduat- ing with a range of post-graduate options, including employment directly after grad- uation, post-graduate diplomas, graduate school and professional programs. The Life after Trent networking event provides students with the opportunity to meet recent alumni and discuss the tran- sition from an undergraduate program to the workforce. Mentoring opportunities are also offered by the university, inviting students to apply to be matched up with alumni or community mentors who are well established in their careers. “The goal of the career centre is to guide students in identifying and promoting all the transferable skills they have gained through their academic and co-curricular activities at Trent,” said Ms. Vernon. According to UOIT’s website, the school offers market-driven programs designed to meet the evolving needs and demands of employers. Faculty experts engage with more than 300 industry partners to devel- op unique programs that “incorporate pro- gram-specific and industry-current soft- ware, and practical, hands-on experience in a real-world setting,” the site says. In 2013-2014, more than four out of five graduating students at UOIT participat- ed in work-integrated learning through opportunities such as co-ops, internships and practicums. A report released last year by the Coun- cil of Ontario Universities found that since 2008, there were 865,000 net new jobs for university graduates, compared to 435,000 for college and trades graduates, while a total of 510,000 jobs were lost for those with no post-secondary education. The aver- age salary for university bachelor’s degree graduates in full-time jobs two years after graduation was $49,001, according to the 2015 survey. OSHAWA -- Ninety-four per cent of univer- sity graduates across the province find employment two years after graduating, according to a new survey released by the Council of Ontario Universities. UOIT in Oshawa held its convocation at the GM Centre on June 5, 2015. Finance and business grad Aneeqa Farad got a little help with her cap prior to the ceremony.

Durham para-equestrian dreams of gold Jason Surnoski’s aim for the 2020 Paralympics inspiring community support Jennifer O’Meara jomeara@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Local para-athlete Jason Surn- oski has dreams of competing as a world para-equestrian rider, and across Durham Region the community is rallying to support him. Mr. Surnoski, 33, was born in Ajax with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Cerebral palsy affects his movement, co-ordination, posture and balance. He has difficulty with fine and gross motor control. His condition primarily affects the right side of his body. “Riding has changed me. I’m a better per- son for it,” said Mr. Surnoski. “Never give up because this past year has been a whirlwind and I never give up.” Mr. Surnoski is currently long-listed for the Canadian para dressage team and his goal is to get on the short list. The para-rider and his supporters are fundraising to get Mr. Surn- oski to his first international competition, so he can qualify for the 2018 World Games in Quebec. From there, Mr. Surnoski dreams of qualifying for the Tokyo Summer Paralym- pics in 2020. “Jason’s very realistic in setting his goals. He sets them and does them,” said his wife, Jen- nifer Hardy. As a teen, Mr. Surnoski played baseball and hockey but had to give it up. He started horse- back riding as a way to relieve his sore, tight- ening muscles. “I found out about dressage and loved it ... I’ve been riding for the last six or seven days straight. That felt so good,” said Mr. Surnoski as he dismounted after a practice ride. He is living in Whitby and training in Scugog on two horses, Highland Fling and Amistad. He has loved working with coach Michelle Mueller, a Pickering Olympian equestrian who competed in the London 2012 Games. “We have the same personality. She wants me to succeed in every avenue in life. Wheth- er it’s walking down the street or riding horse,” said Mr. Surnoski. To help Mr. Surnoski ride sitting straight, a specially designed butterfly saddle, made in Germany, has been donated by Barbara Laimer. The saddle has a flexible base, with a hinge system that adjusts to almost any horse’s back. It comes equipped with move- able knee padding to help support Mr. Surn- oski’s legs while he’s riding. “I absolutely love it. It’s a unique piece of equipment,” said Mr. Surnoski. Now he’s focused on raising the funds to compete at his first International Gold Para Show in the United States. The money will help cover the cost of the trip, accommoda- tions, trailering the horse and training fees. Several corporate sponsors have stepped forward to support Mr. Surnoski’s para-rid- ing dreams, including Nurse Chevrolet Cadil- lac, Back on Track joint and muscle protec- tion products and Stud Muffins horse treats. Brooks Performance Horse Feeds in Port Perry is sponsoring a banquet at Sunnybrae Golf Club scheduled for Oct. 25. For tickets call 905-404-9477. There have been commu- nity car washes. Oshawa Clarington Associa- tion For Community Living has helped raise funds. The Oshawa West Lions Club has also donated to the cause. Mr. Surnoski has launched an online fun- draising campaign called ‘$7,000 IN 70 Days’ so that Mr. Surnoski can get to his first Inter- national Gold Para Show. The campaign runs until Oct. 20.

SCUGOG -- Local para-athlete Jason Surnoski is supported through the Community Living Oshawa/Clarington Association. He is raising funds so that he can reach his goal of qualifying for the World Equestrian Games and one day represent Durham Region in the Paralympics. There is a campaign called $7,000 IN 70 Days so that Jason can get to his first International Gold Para Show. His connections are limited and he depends on fundraising and sponsorship to carry him through each year. Jason rode Amistad at Cedar Valley Stables on Scugog Island.

We had a big discussion about it.Finally,she understood what I was trying to do,and actually helped me write this letter to you. Here’s the thing.In my office,most of the people that come in to see me tell me they’ve “tried everything.” They’ve had “every”test,wound up with huge medical bills,and are still no better off.Often, they’ve been subjected to medications that have only served to temporarily mask symptoms.That’s not what most people are looking for. Health,or the lack of it,very often has simple causes,and very reasonable corrections.That’s what I’m going to tell you about.But,before I tell you more,let me tell you something about me… At the time,I’m a contractor for my fathers’ construction business,and life is good.But then, it happens…I develop a painful back condition known as “disc bulge/herniation”.In my case it comes on suddenly.The pain in my back gets so intense that I can’t bend over,lifting anything is impossible,and I can’t even put on my shoes. The shooting pain sometimes wakes me up in the middle of the night.I’m afraid that I’ll hurt my fathers’business if the disability continues. After considering surgery (that’s the only option, according to the doctor)I decide against it.But, there’s more… A friend of mine convinces me to give his doctor a try.This new doctor does an exam,takes some films,and then ‘adjusts’my spine (he tells me that there’s nerve pressure on the nerves in my low back).The adjustment doesn’t hurt,it actually feels good.I get relief,and shortly after I can help my father again.Oh,did I mention that this doctor is a chiropractor?Chiropractic works so well for me, and I’m so impressed with the other ‘miracles’I see in his office,that I eventually go to chiropractic school myself.And that’s how it happened!” Back to what my wife (at first)didn’t want me to write.It’s that chiropractic is one of the biggest “secrets”in health care.Few people (relatively,only 10%have been to a chiropractor)know about it. And,many of the rest could be helped,if they only knew the true story.So,I often feel like shouting it from the mountaintop!Is that professional?”Well, maybe it is,or maybe not.But,I’ve decided people should know. People from Whitby,Ajax/Pickering and the surrounding area come to see me with their low back problems.They also come to me with their: •Headaches •Migraines •Chronic pain •Neck pain •Whiplash from car accidents •Shoulder/arm pain •Backaches •Numbness in limbs •Athletic injuries Just to name a few… Here’s what some of your neighbors had to say: “I haven’t had to take pain pills since starting care.” (A.C.) “For the first time in years I feel good.Sciatica is gone.” (D.S.) “I feel wonderful.I ran up stairs for the first time in years.” (P.K.) “I wish I knew about…Chiropractic earlier.” (A.E.) Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take the credit.The truth is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything.What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure,and the body responds by healing itself.Of course,all people respond differently to care,but we get terrific results.It’s as simple as that! •Exciting Offer-Look,I know you’re smart.You want to get to the cause of your problem,and not just cover it up with drugs.Be one of the first 20 people to call and schedule a new patient exam (by Friday October 30th,2015)you’ll receive the entire exam for $37.That’s with x-rays,a complete nerve,muscle and spinal exam to seek the “cause” of your problem...the whole ball of wax,and there’s no hidden fees.But,call right away because we expect to be flooded with calls as this exam normally costs $115.So don’t miss out.Again,be one of the first 20 appointments available. Great care at a great fee…Please,I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee.You’ll get great care at a great fee.My qualifications…I’m a graduate of New York Chiropractic College.I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes that you may even know.After practicing in Pittsburgh PA for three years,I moved my practice to Ajax.I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care. My assistant is Nancy and she is a really great person.Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home.We have a wonderful service,at an exceptional fee.Our office is called Health First Family Chiropractic and it’s at 335 Bayly St.West –Suite 206 Ajax (we are across from the old Chrysler plant).Our phone number is 289-275-2444.Call Nancy or me today for an appointment.We can help you.Thank you and God Bless. -Clay Kosinko,D.C. P.S.When accompanied by the first,I am also offering the second family member this same examination for only $17. P.P.S.Can you imagine not having to wait at a doctor’s office?Well,your time is as valuable as mine.That’s why we have a no-wait policy.You will be seen within minutes of your appointment. “The Uncensored Message That My Wife Asked Me Not to Write…” ADVERTISING FEATURE UOIT, Durham College students speak out against campus election campaigning guidelines Schools say election candidates welcome on campus Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The UOIT and Durham College Student Association recently took the institution’s administrators to task for what it saw as overly harsh guidelines for elec- tion campaigning on campus. In an open letter, the association’s president Jesse Cul- len blasted what he described as prohibitions against can- vassing on campus and in residences and “establishing booths or any fixed presence on campus where the pur- pose is to solicit votes.” “We just want to allow students and candidates to fully exercise their democratic rights here on campus,” Mr. Cul- len said, noting only 38 per cent of people between the ages of 18 and 24 voted in the last election. “One of the foundations of free speech and democratic society is access to information,” he continued. “Students are spending increasingly long hours on campus, often it’s their only source of information, so this is just another barrier to students and young voters who are looking to inform their vote.” Tony Doyle, chief of staff for Durham College, said the policy referenced in the letter is a guideline, and one that has been slightly misconstrued. “We have set some guidelines in place but we have the same goal, we want to engage students in the process of the election and get them learning about it and active in it, but we also want to be careful of who’s on campus and when. We have to keep in mind student safety.” Mr. Doyle said election candidates are more than wel- come on campus by going through the proper channels, and points to a recent all-candidates’ debate and on-cam- pus information booths set up by Elections Canada as examples. “We certainly don’t ban all these activities, we just want to make sure we know who’s coming on campus and when,” he explained, noting a candidate and his canvass- ers arriving on campus and spreading out at any given time could be disconcerting for students. “Many of our students are under 18, some have special needs, so first and foremost let’s know who’s on campus and then we can have a healthy debate,” he said. “Let’s have students engaging where and when they want to engage, and when it works for them. Students are here to learn, so that has to be our first priority.” Mr. Cullen says UOIT and Durham College, and any institution of higher learning, are responsible for instilling democratic ideals in their students. “Post-secondary institutions should be incubators for critical thought,” he said. Mr. Doyle agrees, and points to the Student Association as a great example of that. “We’re lucky to have a student association that’s very engaged and asks great questions and brings up good issues that make us look twice at things,” he said, noting the college would likely be looking at revising the policy to make it more clear in the wake of the dust-up. “I think we have the right approach but I think we prob- ably need to be a bit more clear,” he said. “I think moving forward we will be looking at the guidelines and perhaps we need to be a bit more prescriptive in terms of what you can’t do.” Mr. Doyle noted that the open letter, which detailed the association’s concerns that the prohibitions are in con- travention of the Canada Elections Act, was also sent to the Elections Canada chief returning officers of both the Oshawa and Durham ridings. Staff has been in touch with both officers, who Mr. Doyle said reported they found nothing wrong with the guidelines but would check with other officials to be sure. No other information was received since then, Mr. Doyle said. For more information or to read the letter, visit www. your-sa.ca . DURHAM -- UOIT and Durham College students spoke out about campus guidelines where they pertain to the federal election candidates campaigning on campus.

Past studies have shown Pickering is an ideal host city for an arts centre, but the recent unanimous vote of council, which allowed City staff to investigate the feasibil- ity of an arts centre in the city, also demon- strates political will behind the idea. “This is the next logical step,” Mayor Ryan said. The study will identify construction and operating costs and governance options, as well as potential viable sites and business partners. City staff plans to have cost esti- mates prepared for the 2016 budget. “I feel an arts centre is needed because, yes, we have small groups and theatres but we don’t have a centre where people can perform art and other people can come enjoy the art,” said Mayor Ryan. The Durham West Arts Centre Founda- tion, an organization dedicated to building a performing and visual arts centre in Dur- ham, is applauding council’s unanimous decision. The decision represents a turning point in advancing the vision of a world-class cultural community, said Randy Steffan, a DWAC Foundation board member who appeared before Pickering’s executive committee in September. “An arts centre will bring the arts of the world to Durham and the arts of Dur- ham to the world,” said Mr. Steffan. “It will enrich the quality of life for local residents, promote economic development and become a meeting place for the region’s growing population.” Mr. Steffan said at the meeting the area has an energized arts community and the economy will benefit. “There are many great reasons to have an arts centre in Pickering,” he said. “You have a growing city.” The foundation, in partnership with DWAC Inc., an affiliated but separate orga- nization working to establish links with artists and art lovers, has worked closely with the City over many years to bring this vision to life. The foundation will work closely with City staff on this study by providing input on design, location, government, program- ming, taking on fundraising efforts and taking a lead role in marketing the facility. The DWAC Foundation commissioned a business case study in 2010 that found Pickering has the capacity to support an arts centre envisioned to include many things: a performance hall with 800 to 1,000 seats; a visual, fibre and media arts gallery; and a large public space in the lobby for public gatherings and private functions. Now it needs to be updated and the study will also explore funding models to determine the municipality’s positioning regarding building, supporting and sus- taining this facility in Pickering. DWAC Inc. and DWAC Foundation envi- sion the centre as a place to exhibit, per- form, practise, teach and learn, one that will encourage and develop creativity as a way of seeing and thinking, and being an inclusive and welcoming destination that promotes cultural exchange and under- standing. “The Centre will reflect who we are as a society and provide opportunities for per- sonal expression for all ages,” said their vision statement. “The Durham West Arts Centre will have world-class acoustics, world-class seating and world-class sight lines.” Mayor Ryan said people from Toronto, Markham and across Durham can enjoy the arts centre. “That’s a significant potential audience base,” he said. He feels there are many cultural organi- zations that would contribute to the pro- gram if a facility were available to them. “I think we’d have potential for the Ontar- io Philharmonic to be a marquee tenant,” he said. He has visions of the centre attracting an international music festival, something that is lacking in the area, despite the won- derful orchestras in Toronto and the GTA. Also, the Shaw and Stratford Festivals are popular events for theatre-goers, but there is nothing of that magnitude on the east side of Toronto. “There is a void in the east GTA and that’s the opportunity that we want to take advantage of,” he said. He said he expects staff to come back with a preliminary report by this time next year. “I am very, very supportive of this initia- tive,” said Mayor Ryan. “It’s something I believe is badly needed in our communi- ty.” HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • The location for an arts centre in west Durham has been pinpointed to Pickering, pursuant to a resolution of the board of the Durham West Arts Centre Foundation. • City of Pickering staff envisions an arts centre in downtown Pickering, which was identified in the 2013 document, Down- town Pickering: A Vision for Intensification and Framework for Investment. • Both Durham West Arts Centre Inc. and Durham West Arts Centre Foundation are registered charities and the bulk of the work is done by committed volunteers who share in the vision of an arts centre in Pickering. • DWAC Inc. currently has a lease agree- ment with the City to operate a pottery studio at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex, offering a variety of pottery and art programs. It also supports local arts and cultural activities and operates the annual Durham West Studio Tour. AJAX -- Artist Geordie Lishman was one of the participants in the Durham West Arts Centre’s studio tour in 2012. The City of Pickering is launching a feasibility study with an eye to building a permanent home for the Durham West Arts Centre.

S H O P T H E B A Y.C O M Three Durham men face robbery charges in Cramahe home invasion Karen Longwell klongwell@northumberlandnews.com NORTHUMBERLAND -- Police have identified the four men charged after a two-day search in Northumberland County on the Thanksgiving weekend. Four people, three Oshawa men and one Peterborough County man, were arrested in an incident that began Friday evening when Northumberland OPP respond- ed to a robbery call at a residence in Cramahe Township on Oct. 9 around 4:30 p.m. Two separate sus- pect pursuits were initiated involv- ing two vehicles, which were recov- ered. Two men were arrested Fri- day evening. A tactical team and canine unit were called in to search a rural area in Alnwick/Haldimand Township for the two other suspects on Friday and into early Saturday. On Friday evening an abandoned truck was surrounded by police vehicles on Turk Road. Residents said the driv- er of the truck went up a driveway on Shelter Valley Road, past a home with young children and through a corn field and came out on Turk Road. On Saturday, Oct. 10, the two men were found after police received a report of suspicious people on Boyce Road west of Colborne at 2 p.m. The suspects were located by officers in the area of Dudley Road after an extensive search. Upon see- ing the police they fled into a wood- ed area. One person was arrested after a brief foot pursuit. Another was located a short distance south of Hwy. 401 hiding under play equipment near a home. Both men were taken into custody and held for a bail hearing. The OPP thanked the public for their patience and assistance in the capture of the two individuals. On the weekend residents in Ver- nonville, a normally quiet, rural area, were feeling edgy, said Melis- sa Holmes, the Shelter Valley Store owner. “There is definitely a sense of uneasiness,” said Ms. Holmes. “It doesn’t feel safe.” She said locals had been coming to the store to see if she had any updates. She was telling people to lock their cars and doors, something not normally done in the community. Police could not say what items were taken in the home robbery, but Northumberland OPP Constable Steve Bates said it was drug related. He said the crime was “targeted” and not a random robbery. Harley Guindon, 29, from Oshawa, was charged with robbery, personating peace offi- cer, careless use of firearm, pointing a firearm, possession of dangerous weapons, forcible confinement and three assault with a weapon charges. Brian McMinn, 32, from Havelock- Belmont-Methuen Township, Ishacc Doug- las, 32, from Oshawa, and Travis Bell, 23 from Oshawa, are charged with robbery. 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 • Oc t o b e r 1 5 , 2 0 1 5 12 AP Former Durham police officer named firefighter of the year Muscular Dystrophy Canada awards Ryan Edgar for years of dedicated service Todd McEwen tmcewen@northumberlandnews.com DURHAM -- Ryan Edgar has been saving lives with a com- bined 36-year career as police officer and firefighter, but it’s his commitment to supporting the fight against muscular dystrophy that’s garnering him recognition across the country. The municipality’s deputy fire chief was recently named Ontar- io Firefighter of the Year by Mus- cular Dystrophy Canada. Deputy Chief Edgar has been volunteer- ing with MDC since 1996. In that time he’s spent countless hours fundraising, chairing commit- tees, attending Walk for Muscu- lar Dystrophy and other events throughout Ontario, and con- necting with families and indi- viduals affected by neuromuscu- lar disorders. “There are so many firefight- ers that could be nominated,” he said. “It comes down to what I do best, which is showcasing the talents of the firefighters.” Deputy Chief Edgar has a ten- dency to shrug off the acco- lades and realign the focus back on anyone but himself: his col- leagues, his community or the importance of providing dedi- cated service to his municipality. “I measure my day by how many smiles I give people,” he said. “If I can tell myself I did a good job and did something for someone other than myself, then I’m doing the right thing. That’s why I’m here.” Deputy Chief Edgar joined the Port Hope fire department as its deputy chief earlier this summer. On June 25, he ended his 17-year career as a frontline officer with Durham Regional Police Service and started a new career in Port Hope the next day. But taking on the job of dep- uty chief wasn’t his first foray into the world of firefighting. He spent 18 years with the Scugog Fire Department, most recently as its captain. So does he miss the daily grind of a frontline police officer? Not necessarily. “Fire was where my passion was,” he said. “It’s very much a team environment. We do things together, we respond together, we vent together, we train together and we celebrate together.” In policing, officers start their shifts with a group briefing, but then typically work indepen- dently for the rest of their shift. They respond to calls alone. They work alone and they often deal with the stress of the job alone, he said, all while deal- ing with consistent negativity attached to a police uniform. “It’s getting worse,” he said. “Ninety-nine per cent of things police do is phenomenal and it goes unrecognized.” If there’s one thing that can irk Deputy Chief Edgar, it’s seeing his colleagues’ work and dedica- tion go unnoticed. Last year, MDC recognized the fact that Mr. Edgar self- lessly aimed the spotlight on his brothers and sisters in firefighting for their continu- ous years of commitment and dedicated service to MDC dur- ing the Ontario Volunteer Ser- vice Awards Ceremonies held throughout the province. “(Firefighters) went out and were able to go to all these awards banquets and receive recognition for the extra efforts they put into charitable events,” he said. “If I got anything out of it, it’s seeing the smiles on people’s faces. Recognition is the easiest way to keep people involved and keep them moti- vated.” Since taking over the position as deputy chief in Port Hope, he was surprised that his team accepted him as openly as they did. Usually, he said, there’s about three or four people who are quick to reject new leader- ship or expect a tidal wave of change to wash over the depart- ment. That hasn’t happened yet. “They’re waiting for this change to take place and for me to stop smiling,” he said. “But this is who I am.” CITY OF PICKERING Planning Act An application to amend Minister’s Zoning Order,Ontario Regulation 19/74, has been received by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Only ‘Dragons’ Den’ star shares entrepreneurial experiences at UOIT homecoming Bruce Croxon offers up tips on the business of making money Chris Hall chall@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Entrepreneurship takes an idea, money and plenty of commitment. “Pick something you like to do. You’re going to be working on weekends so you better like it,” said Bruce Croxon, best known for his turn as a judge on CBC’s Dragons’ Den, on Saturday. “You have to bust your ass today more than ever before so like what you’re doing and be committed.” Mr. Croxon spent almost an hour on Oct. 3 sharing his entrepreneurial expe- riences with students and the public at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s Homecoming 2015 event. It’s also important, stressed the mil- lionaire businessman, to solve a prob- lem -- not create one -- when deciding on a business plan. “Pick a problem that needs to be solved. So many ideas we saw (on Drag- ons’ Den contestants) try and convince you there’s a problem in the first place,” said Mr. Croxon, explaining the judges saw 230 pitches over 20 days each sea- son. “Start with an idea that addresses a problem that needs to be fixed.” Mr. Croxon was one of the co-found- ers of Lavalife, a match-making busi- ness that started in 1987 and later sold for $180 million. Since the sale, he’s gone on to star on the Dragons’ Den and is now the co-host of The Disruptors on BNN. Entrepreneurs may seem like mod- ern-day “rockstars,” but there’s plenty of hard work that goes into reaching that success, said Mr. Croxon. “Everyone wants to be an entrepre- neur,” he said. “It looks glamorous and it looks easy. It’s not.” Lavalife, he told the crowd, was essen- tially a dating service created by four buddies. “We were guys in our 20s work- ing on the weekend, trying to meet girls,” said Mr. Croxon. “We were doing what we loved.” Another key to success, he continued, is having a plan -- and then having a plan to accomplish that plan. “Where do you want to be with your business in three years? What do you have to do this year to get there,” said Mr. Croxon. “I’m continually surprised by the number of companies ... that don’t realize the benefit of projecting that time and laying out very specific goals. “There’s very few companies beyond $5 million in sales without giving some thought to where they want to go and how they’re going to get there,” he said. Core values, such as teamwork and open-mindedness, are also important, added Mr. Croxon. “I’m officially done working with, alongside, people who can’t admit mak- ing a mistake,” he said. A game-changer in the business of making money, continued Mr. Croxon, has been the introduction of the Inter- net. “We had a business and we started to notice this Internet thing starting in the mid-90s,” he said. “Is this a fad or is it really happening?” Today, he noted, every website is essentially a modern version of Lavalife. “Every site is really a dating site in dis- guise,” said Mr. Croxon. “It’s just about connecting people.” Technology also makes it easier than ever before to know more and more about consumers’ wants, needs and habits, he added. “There’s an explosion of data like I’ve never seen before,” said Mr. Croxon. On the flip side, he continued, it’s also “a great time” to be a consumer with entrepreneurs out there trying to offer cheaper solutions and multiple options, citing Uber and Airbnb. Large businesses, warned Mr. Croxon, have to “watch out because people are coming at you left, right and centre.” But, he stressed to the crowd, the ease of entrepreneurship can be double- edged: As easy as it is to open your own business, someone else can just as easily get into the same game. “It takes a certain type of tempera- ment and character that are cut out for an entrepreneur,” said Mr. Croxon. “It’s not for everybody.” OSHAWA -- Bruce Croxon, an entrepre- neur who founded Lavalife and was a judge on ‘Dragon’s Den’, was the guest speaker at UOIT’s 2015 homecoming cel- ebration.

Operation of village founded in 1995 will continue for the next 20 years under new agreement DURHAM -- A new lease agreement means young people throughout the region will continue to benefit from the lessons they learn at the Kids’ Safety Vil- lage, Durham’s police chief says. Chief Paul Martin was among the digni- taries at a media event Monday, Oct. 5 in Whitby, announcing an agreement with the Durham District School Board that extends the village’s lease for 20 years. That means the village, founded in 1995 by the Parkwood Rotary Club and the Ajax Optimist Club, will continue to instruct children on pedestrian and cyclist safety, the chief said. “The programs here at the Kids’ Safety Village do save lives,” he said, noting that some 15,000 children attend the site each year. “That’s thousands of children who get to learn about roadway safe- ty, railway safety and pedestri- an behaviour,” said Chief Martin. The village, a miniature neighbourhood that includes buildings, roads, traffic lights and signs, is located on 1.2 acres on the grounds of Sir William Stephenson Public School. Children make use of battery cars, bicycles, a functioning railway crossing and a classroom during visits. The centre, which is coordinated by Con- stable Astrid Morse, is available for book- ing by schools in Durham. The village also hosts occasional public events, such as the Halloween Haunt scheduled for Oct. 24. The Durham Police Services Board allots about $60,000 a year for maintenance at the facility. A planned expansion will allow for the incorporation of a fire safety com- ponent in the future. 3 LOCATIONS FOR QUALITY & CHOICE AJAX OPTICAL 905-683-2888 56 Harwood Ave. S., Ajax Plaza AJAX OPTICAL 905-683-7235 Heritage Market Square, 145 Kingston Rd.

JOINUSFORTHESETRAVELPRESENTATIONS Durham Deaf Services welcomes new smartphone emergency system Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A local advocate for the deaf and hearing impaired is welcoming news that Durham police have introduced a tex- ting service for 911 emergency calls. The new texting service replaces a cum- bersome process that required people with hearing or speech issues to contact an operator via land line and have that person relay their messages to 911 dispatchers, said Yvonne Brown, executive director of Dur- ham Deaf Services. The old system required users to make TTY calls through land lines, Ms. Brown said. The antiquated system saw users connect their phone receivers to a keyboard. “It was time consuming and in a real emer- gency it could be a problem,” she said. “It’s great that they’ll now be able to speak direct- ly to an operator.” The new texting service was launched by Durham police at the end of September. It allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired to place direct 911 calls via text-enabled cellphones. The new system requires no speech on the part of callers; incoming calls are flagged for 911 operators, who communicate via text message. Users must register for the service with their wireless provider. More information about the service is available at textwith911. ca . The innovation is particularly helpful at a time when many in the deaf and hard-of- hearing community are adopting cellphones as their primary means of communication, Ms. Brown said. “TTY is becoming obsolete,” she said. “Many deaf people have made the switch to smartphones.” New 911 text service for deaf, hard of hearing in Durham Region‘‘Many deaf people have made the switch to smartphones.’ Yvonne Brown, executive director of Durham Deaf Services 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 • Oc t o b e r 1 5 , 2 0 1 5 23 AP drps.ca/surveyPlease t a k e a f e w m i n u t e s t o v i s i t HaveYourSay!

The decision comes after some children taking part in an art camp at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa became sick after a carbon monoxide leak in July. Oshawa council passed a motion ask- ing the Province to change the Ontario Building Code and Ontario Fire Code to require carbon monoxide detectors in public assembly spaces. Regional works commissioner Cliff Curtis told councillors during a meet- ing on Sept. 23 that detectors have been installed in dwelling units owned by Dur- ham. As for putting detectors in other Region- al buildings, he said that hadn’t been considered. “We’re following the Ontario Building Code for our structures. To go beyond the building code, I would need instruction (from council),” he said. Councillors want a study on the appro- priate locations for detectors in Regional buildings. durhamregion.com Odds of winning is dependent on the number of eligible entries received. 5 prizes are available to be won.

Helping Seniors Remain in the Comfort of their Home! (NC) Your feet get a lot of wear and tear no matter whether you regularly squeeze into high heels, go for a daily run, or stand all day at work. We expect a lot from our feet, but few of us give them much attention. Foot experts say, however, if you are living with diabetes your feet need daily care, otherwise serious complications may result. “That advice is important since small foot injuries can develop into serious wounds if they are not cared for quickly,” says Anne Putnam, a Canadian certified pedorthist and president of the Pedorthic Association of Canada. According to the Canadian Diabetes Association, 85 per cent of all leg amputations for Canadians living with diabetes are a result of non- healing foot ulcers and more than half of those life changing surgeries may have been prevented with more effective nail and foot care and by wearing appropriate footwear. Feet are delicate structures, Putnam points out. Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints and 19 muscles. As a typical adult walks an average of 6.5 kilometres every day and spends about four hours standing, our foot bones and joints take a lot of pounding. “Healthy individuals can feel when their feet are sore or irritated, but many people living with diabetes may have reduced sensation in their feet,” she explains, “so they are unaware when a blister, cut or irritation develops.” In addition to foot wounds going unnoticed, many of those living with diabetes also suffer from poor circulation in the feet which can delay healing and cause small sores to develop into wounds, foot ulcers and serious foot conditions. Putnam says conducting a preventative daily check is an effective way to catch rubs and cuts early and keep your feet healthy. More information on caring for the diabetic foot can be found at www.pedorthic.ca. 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 • Oc t o b e r 1 5 , 2 0 1 5 24 AP Celebrate with Drink and Dip Specials eekdays from 4-8PM.weekdays fr *Specials exclusively available at participating Bâton Rouge locations Monday through Friday from 4PM to 8PM at the bar and on the patio only.For a limited time only.Cannot be combined with anyother offer or promotion.The above trademarks areowned by PDM Royalties Limited Partnership used under licence.TM/MC trademarksof PDM Royalties Limited Partnership used under licence. 25 CONSUMERS DRIVE, WHITBY |905 444-9525 Please pop by our Foster Parent Open House and ask us all about fostering - light refreshments and snacks will be served. 905-279-4500 www.keyassets.ca Date:Tuesday October 20, 2015 Time:1:00-3:00 pm Location:Ajax Community Centre Duffins Rooms 1867 Valley Farm Rd.

Police Another multi-vehicle crash snarls traffic on Hwy. 401 in Ajax AJAX -- There’s been another multi-vehi- cle collision on Hwy. 401 in Ajax. OPP are reporting a multi-vehicle crash has blocked the left lane of east- bound 401 between Brock Road and Lakeridge Road. The crash occurred about 8:30 a.m. Oct. 14, OPP said. Sergeant Kerry Schmidt said there were no injuries. The crash scene was being cleared as of shortly after 9 a.m., Sgt. Schmidt said. The stretch of Hwy. 401 between Ajax and Whitby has been the site of two deadly multi-vehicle crashes recently. On Oct. 2, a truck failed to slow for traffic at a construction zone in the west- bound lanes, causing a 20-vehicle pile- up that killed four people, including a Pickering couple, and two brothers, aged 10 and 12.

Award-winning Mike D’Urzo’s Mega Magic is coming to the St. Francis Centre on Saturday, Oct. 24 and D’Urzo says he has a few tricks up his sleeve. “My big thing is putting a twist on the classics of magic,” says D’Urzo. “A lot of my stuff has the wow factor.” The Vaughan native performs hundreds of shows annu- ally and recently won the Canadian Entertainer of the Year Award at the Canadian Special Events Industry Awards. D’Urzo is well known for his mentalist skills and he says his show “Mind Kontrol” will be interactive and involve the Ajax audience. He says to expect a good variety of magic mentalism, fly- ing tables and the odd disappearing act. For those that do not believe in magic or mind control? “I always say the skeptics are the best audience,” D’Urzo says. “It’s really convincing, it really gets you scratching your head and thinking is this real or what could possibly be the trick?” The Vaughan native says he got his first taste of magic when he stumbled across a magic store in Toronto as a teenager. D’Urzo intended to quickly browse through the store, but became enchanted with the tricks and content. It was the start of a passion that has turned into a career. “I didn’t know that being a magician is something that people could make a living out of, but that’s where I am at now” he says. D’Urzo says he is self-taught and learned the tricks of the trade by reading books, watching videos, going to confer- ences and learning techniques from other magicians. His first trick? One he calls simple, but “it is the trick that has stood the test of time”. It involves letting an audience member pick a card and D’Urzo is able to guess which one it is, without touching the deck. D’Urzo started practising magic in high school and booked his first international show after graduating from specialized communications at York University. The international tour was in China and he was there performing for an audience that he says mostly did not speak English. “It was pretty cool to see how magic is such a universal language,” he says. “The audience may not understand the same language, but they understand the tricks”. D’Urzo has performed across Canada and the United States, but says no show is the same. “Some of the tricks remain the same, but every show is different,” he says. “The people that come up on stage are always different and they influence the direction of the show.” He says there is also a lot of behind-the-scenes work involved that includes team effort and he works with a cre- ative director and set builder, just to name a few. “Once you have an actual effect, now you have to cho- reograph,” he says. “There are a lot of others involved.” D’Urzo will be at the St. Francis Centre, 78 Church St. S., on Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30 and are available online at www.stfranciscentre.ca or at the St. Francis Cen- tre box office and community centres.

Pickering Town Centre 1355 Kingston Rd PICKERING,ON(905)420-7600 ‘Doubt: A Parable’ opens Oct. 15 Alexa Battler mruta@durhamregion.com PORT PERRY -- Durham residents can enjoy a play full of twists and turns in a production of the controversial Broadway play, Doubt: A Parable. Port Perry’s Borelians Community The- atre is opening its 2015/2016 season with John Patrick Shanley’s religiously themed play, which received both a Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award for Best Play in 2005. The play was also turned into an Acad- emy Award-nominated movie starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. “This play is great because it’s timeless,” says director Joseph Szekeres of Oshawa. “More than anything this is a play about our humanity. For people of faith this production raises important questions where it comes to understanding our faith, our faith journey, and expanding our faith, but this play is for everyone because it appeals to our humanity as people.” Doubt: A Parable takes place in the Bronx in 1964, and follows the story of a princi- pal of a Catholic school, Sister Aloysius, as she grows to suspect the charismatic priest of her church, Father Flynn, of molesting a young black boy. Religion, race, moral- ity and humanity are all called into question throughout the course of the play, giving it its apt title. “That’s the best part of this play, we never know,” says Szekeres. “There are times when Father Flynn is guilty, and there are times when he is innocent. You are always guess- ing. I don’t even know if he’s guilty, there is always doubt.” The play runs for 90 minutes, has no inter- mission and stars only four actors. Among them are two married Port Perry residents, Annette Stokes, playing Sister Aloysius, and Michael Serres, playing Father Flynn. The husband-and-wife duo are performing as arch rivals in the production, creating a con- siderable acting challenge for the couple. “Having a husband and wife acting as rivals has led to a lot of interesting conversations during practice,” says Szekeres. “The actors have all worked into their characters and done a great job.” Port Perry’s classic performance venue, Town Hall 1873, will create the atmosphere for attendees, according to Szekeres. “Town Hall 1873 is the perfect venue for this production,” he says. “It is a very historic venue, and it has large windows that remind the audience of a setting within a church.” Doubt: A Parable runs Oct. 15 to 17, 22 to 24 at 8 p.m. in Town Hall 1873, 302 Queen St. Matinees are at 2 p.m. on Oct. 17 and 24. The play’s Oct. 15 production will act as the show’s preview night, and the Oct. 16 produc- tion will include a gala opening night, includ- ing a celebration and an opportunity to meet the cast. Soft drinks will also be available to participants. Tickets are $22 each, however group rates of $18 per person are available with the pur- chase of 10 or more tickets. A buy-one-get- one free deal is also available for Thursday performances on Oct. 15 and 22, at which two tickets can be purchased for $22. Tickets can be purchased at the door or pre-ordered online at www.townhall1873.ca . Because the play is a mere 90 minutes and consists of one fluid act, John Patrick Shan- ley claimed that the second act of the play consists of a meet and conversation with the actors. Groups that are interested in organizing a ‘talk back theatre’ can contact the show’s pro- ducer, David Geene, at 905-862-3082. Borelians Community Theatre, self-pro- claimed as ‘Scugog’s Original Community Theatre’, has been performing classic and contemporary productions in and around Port Perry since 1971.

A quick look at the transaction page of the Ontario Junior Hockey League shows a flurry of activity of late, as teams hit the 10-game mark and start to evaluate what they have, and more importantly, what they need. The Pickering Panthers are among that group, as GM Andrew Moore has pulled off a few deals in the past couple of weeks to try to help solidify his roster. The moves haven’t been a reaction to hitting the panic button, as the Panthers have been satisfied with a 5-4-0-1 start to the season. “I think our group has a lot to learn, but we are extremely happy with where we are at,” said Moore from his perspective. “The kids are learning a lot, we’re mov- ing in the right direction and we’re excit- ed to see where things go from here.” One of the moves that Moore pulled off was a trade with his old club, the Whitby Fury, bringing in Davis Kuksis in exchange for Austin Ullett. Kuksis, a 19-year-old Ajax resident, brings a local connection to the club, but his acquisi- tion goes deeper than that. “Him being local was nice, but it was more to do with his age, skill level and my familiarity with him from my previ- ous time in Whitby,” said Moore. “He’s a high-end skilled guy, a centreman that can win draws, something that we’ve been really lacking so far. He’s going to be playing in our top centre role.” Last season, Kuksis had 12-25-37 point totals in 52 games with the Fury. He was off to a slow start with the Fury with two goals and two assists in 10 games this season, but since joining the Panthers, he has three points on a goal and two assists in just two games. In a bit of a surprise move, the Pan- thers also dealt captain Marco Azzano to Markham in a cash transaction. Azza- no was acquired in the summer from the Wellington Dukes to provide some veter- an leadership and offence. Through eight games he had three goals and six assists. “The big thing here was getting Marco into a situation where he is going to be able to showcase himself for his final year,” said Moore. “He has aspirations to play at the next level. In my opinion and his opinion, moving him on to a team with some older guys to play with was more beneficial for his future.” In a smaller move, the team also sent Aidan Parker to Mississauga for cash. In five games with the Panthers, Parker had yet to register a point. The team has also been dealing with long-term injuries, as four players have missed extended time so far. Tomas Azzano, the younger brother of Marco, who has been out the past three weeks, will be the first to return, expected back in the lineup for games this weekend. Kevin Ounjian, who has been out three weeks, is still a week away from return- ing, while Dallas Carter will be out three more weeks and Blake Coffey isn’t likely to return for four more weeks. The club has had to dip into its affiliates in Ajax-Pickering, Whitby and Markham to help round out the roster. “The big thing here is we’ve had great affiliated players coming in and out of our lineup the last couple weeks,” said Moore. “That’s given us some breathing room.” The Panthers stopped a two-game los- ing streak with a pair of weekend wins. On home ice Friday, Oct. 9 against the Cobourg Cougars, six different players scored in a 6-4 victory. Mackenzie Heber, Davis Teigen-Katsumi, Kennedy Duguid, Mitchell Waldron, Kyler Challis and Jus- tin Bennett scored for the Panthers. Tied at four, Bennett scored with 1:38 to go in the game, and Waldron added an empty netter in the final minute. In Mississauga the following night, Paul Giusti recorded his first shutout, stop- ping all 31 shots in a 4-0 victory. John Hudgin led the attack with a pair of goals, while Kuksis and Challis had the others for the Panthers, who led 2-0 after the first period and 3-0 through two. This weekend the Panthers will enter- tain Georgetown on Friday, Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m., then head to Oakville for a matinee start at 1:30 on Sunday, Oct. 18.

The 22 players selected to Canada’s roster include two goaltenders, seven defencemen and 13 forwards and were chosen following Canada’s national women’s team Fall Festi- val from Sept. 13-20 in Calgary. Canada’s roster will feature 13 returning gold medallists from its thrilling 3-2 victory over the United States at the 2014 4 Nations Cup in Kamloops B.C., along with five new faces. For the 20th time, the 4 Nations Cup will bring together four top women’s hockey countries in the world: Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States. Canada plays an exhibition game against Sweden on Nov. 1 and opens the tournament against Finland on Nov. 4, and also faces the United States (Nov. 5) and Sweden (Nov. 7) in preliminary action. Both the bronze- and gold-medal games will be played on Nov. 8. “We’re excited about the group chosen to represent Canada, and we’re looking for- ward to getting on the ice in Sweden for the first time together as a team this season,” said Laura Schuler, head coach of Cana- da’s team. “Our players have been working extremely hard, and this event is a fantastic opportunity for them to unite on the inter- national stage as they aim to defend Cana- da’s gold medal.” 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 • Oc t o b e r 1 5 , 2 0 1 5 32 AP On Now at The Brick!

Monday night marked the Pickering- bred point guard’s debut as a Raptor (a pre- season win over the Minnesota Timber- wolves) at the Air Canada Centre. Asked to revisit what he felt, a familiar, if not grumpy face popped into his head. “I mentioned it (Monday) night. You can’t ask me again,” he said, his demean- our giving way to laughter. “That’s my Pop impersonation.” Joseph’s impersonation of Gregg Popov- ich, the San Antonio Spurs’ long-tenured and excessively successful coach, isn’t the intangible that the Raptors were interested in when they signed him to a four-year deal over the summer. Through four exhibition games, Joseph is settling in as the team’s backup point man and showing what he learned playing under Popovich the last four years. He’s brought a steady, calming pres- ence to the Raptors in relief of Kyle Lowry and averaged 10.8 points and 2.5 assists in 21 minutes in the pre-season. He had 14 points and four assists against Minnesota on Monday and played a key part in clos- ing out the Lakers in a win out West last week. Coming to a new team and assert- ing yourself at a leadership position isn’t an easy thing, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “(It’s a challenge to) understand what’s going on and to be able to verbalize it, to be able to tell everyone else what to do and have the confidence to do it and he’s done that,” Casey said. “You need that type of leadership from your point guard.” While Lowry gave Raptors fans a Thanks- giving treat with a 40-point night, Casey decided to use his two point guards togeth- er in the backcourt. “Everything he was shooting he was scor- ing,” Joseph said of Lowry, “so I can get in and do what I do: get into the paint and facilitate and find open guys. “I feel pretty strong, I take pride in my defence so I feel like I can guard (shooting guards) and it gives us a different dynamic out there on the court. Me and Kyle . . . can dribble it up and push the pace a little.” As the Raptors sort out their front-court roles in their final three pre-season games — they were in Ottawa for a rematch with the T-Wolves on Wednesday — that Joseph-Lowry combo could push DeMar DeRozan to the small forward spot for a three-guard rotation. “I liked that,” Casey said of the Lowry- Joseph pairing. “Cory has the size and the grit (he’s six-foot-three, 190-pounds) . . . they’re both tough, gritty guys. They’re going to try to post them up and find them in the post, so I like that. The ball got mov- ing, the game became faster and we may see that some more this year.” Of course, when you have Lowry scor- ing the way that he has, shifting him to the shooting guard spot isn’t as difficult an adjustment either. “You can make any move when a guy’s going for 40 but we can’t rely on that,” Casey said. “Even with that said, I thought he got to 40 within the offence. I know that sounds crazy but . . . it wasn’t like he was dancing one-on-one and jacking it up. I commend him for that.” Torstar News Service TORONTO -- Pickering’s Cory Joseph got to play his first game at the Air Canada Centre as a member of the Toronto Raptors during a pre-season tilt with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He signed with the Raptors as a free agent this past summer.

Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS Pickering During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer-term commitments. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Lisa at (905) 215-0424 or email lburgess@durhamregion.com.

That being the case, big things are expected for this year’s Ballin’ 4 Breast Cancer girls’ basketball fundraiser that Pickering High School coach Mike Gor- densky will be hosting for the second straight year in support of the Cancer Society. This year’s event on Saturday, Oct. 17 has expanded from five to six games, and will feature 12 junior and senior teams all from Durham Region. “People want to be a part of it so I thought I would add another game and get more teams involved,” says Gorden- sky of growing the one-day event. “The more teams involved, the more kids involved, the more people come and in the end the big winner is breast cancer. The more we can raise the better it is for them.” The cause is something very close to Gordensky’s heart, having lost his moth- er to breast cancer. He has done simi- lar fundraisers in the past with the boys’ teams he has coached, raising money for the relief efforts in Haiti, and another in support of the Heart and Stroke Founda- tion. The day will include two junior games and four senior, with the marquee match featuring the hosts from Pickering fac- ing long time rival Notre Dame in a senior tilt at 7:30 p.m. Opening the slate of games will be two junior matches, the first between Brooklin and J. Clarke Rich- ardson at 9 a.m., followed by Pickering and Notre Dame at 11 a.m. The seniors then hit the floor, with Leo Austin taking on Sinclair at 1 p.m., G.L. Roberts facing J. Clarke at 3 p.m. followed by Dunbarton and St. Mary at 5 p.m. The Pickering senior team coached by Gordensky comes in with high cre- dentials. It’s currently ranked No. 1 in the GTA according to the website hoop- town.gta and fourth in the province. The team defended its title at the Universi- ty of Windsor tournament with a close win over Sarnia Northern in the cham- pionship game, and reached the quar- ter-finals of the St. Mary Tip Off Classic in Hamilton, falling to St. Thomas More, the third-ranked team in the province. Closer to home, in LOSSA league play the team is undefeated. “Our top seven can play with anybody in the province,” says Gordensky. “We’re not as deep as last year. Last year we were nine or 10 deep.” Leading the charge this season is Che- layne Bailey, whom Gordensky regards as the top player in the province. Not far behind is Rachel Woodburn, whom he also ranks right up there as one of the best in Ontario. Last year’s event raised just more than $2000, and Gordensky is confident of surpassing that total this year. Among the prizes in this year’s raffle are signed Toronto Raptors jerseys by Cory Joseph, Anthony Bennett and sprinter Andre de Grasse. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for stu- dents, a loonie for kids 6-12 and kids under 6 are free.
