The human toll is heartbreaking: A Pickering couple killed as they travelled together; two boys, brothers aged 10 and 12, dead, their parents grievously injured. In anoth- er incident two men dead, one of them after his SUV was crushed between two trucks. Two colossal pile-ups, days apart on a stretch of Hwy. 401 between Ajax and Whitby. The first was early on the morning of Sept. 23, when several vehicles were involved in a pile-up in the eastbound lanes of the 401 near Salem Road. See DRIVING, page 7 Photo by A.J.

Student’s outreach is far and wide Durham university chemistry student Arden Ward inspired by mission trip she took to New York City Tabitha Reddekop newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A UOIT student is starting her own homeless outreach in Oshawa inspired by a mission trip she took to New York City this past summer. Arden Ward, a chemistry student at UOIT, wants to build relationships with the home- less people of Oshawa because she believes simple things can make a difference in peo- ple’s lives. “Sometimes it’s as simple as say- ing, ‘hey, how is your day’ and having an actual conversation,” she says. “Telling them you love them and care about them can change their life.” Ms. Ward is leading other mission trip members to hand out food and get to know the homeless of Oshawa each month but is hoping more people will join her in the future. She was one of seven UOIT and Durham College students who travelled to New York City for a week in August. A local church, Calvary Baptist, sent the students to teach them how to reach out to the homeless people around them. Nick Doyle, a pastor at the church, led the team. He describes New York as a training ground. “It’s a good place to allow students to see the diverse culture, plus it’s like Toron- to,” he says. He explains he likes to train students in another city to push them out of their com- fort zone so they see they can do the same back home. Mr. Ward says she wanted to go on the trip because of all the homeless people she passes by in Oshawa every day on her way to school. She wanted to know how to help them. The team helped out at different organiza- tions such as the Relief Bus. The bus is con- verted into a soup kitchen on wheels that goes to poorer areas of the city such as the Bronx. The team also ran the McMission, where small groups went out with backpacks full of supplies and hamburgers from McDonald’s so they could sit down and have a meal with a homeless person. The most powerful nights on the trip were when they got to sit down and talk with peo- ple, says Mr. Ward. “It was the most humbling experience. We would literally get right down with them at their level, down on the sidewalk and share food with them while everyone else in New York City is rushing past you, tripping over you and giving you weird looks.” She says one man she got to sit down and talk with really inspired her to take action when she came home. He complained someone left a bag of food beside him while he was sleeping. He explained food wasn’t what he really needed. “He was more touched we had sat down to talk with him,” she says. “He doesn’t get to sit down and have genuine conversations with people.” She wanted to bring that aspect of the trip home to Oshawa. She says her goal when she walks down- town is to have a relationship with the home- less people she sees. She encourages others to also reach out. She says there will always be excuses to not help others but if you do, amazing things will come out of it, not just for others but also for you. “Here, I thought I was going to New York City to help them out and serve them but I think they had a even greater impact on me,” says Ms. Ward. “Trips like these are life-changers. They are the most amazing opportunity you’ll ever have. I’ll take that over a vacation in the Bahamas any day.” NEW YORK CITY -- Left to right Arden Ward and Nick Doyle with supplies for a chil- dren’s ministry inside the Living Waters Fellowship were they stayed in Brooklyn, New York City.

A 68-year-old Pickering man came for- ward Thursday, Oct. 15, the day after investigators released security cam- era images of the truck believed to have been involved in the incident, Durham police said. An investigation was launched after a 52-year-old man was found lying on the roadway at Liverpool and Kingston Roads at about 3 a.m. Oct. 9. The man, who was found with no identification, sustained life-threatening head injuries. The truck will be examined as the investigation continues, police said. There’s no indication charges have been laid. The victim remains in serious condition in hospital. Ajax officials heading to China Four-person delegation to meet government, business reps Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX -- A group of four Town officials will be heading to China next week to start the process of building relationships. Mayor Steve Parish, CAO Rob Ford, Paul Allore, the director of planning and development services, and Lisa Hausz, the manager of business development and marketing, will be in China from Wednesday, Oct. 21 to Thursday, Oct. 29. Mr. Ford said during the council meet- ing on Oct. 13 that Durham Region and other area municipalities have already established relationships in China. “It’s important the Town establish those relationships. This is probably a step that’s long overdue,” he added. Mr. Ford noted Ajax is “probably the last” municipality in the GTA to reach out to Chinese officials. GTA municipalities “have developed some very strong relationships,” he said. During the trip, the Ajax representatives will meet with gov- ernment officials, major Chinese banks and financial insti- tutions, two univer- sities, tour a large business incubator, major media outlets and tourism organizations. In meetings, the Town’s officials will speak about such issues as the business climate, quality of life, growth areas and investment opportunities. A report to council by Ms. Hausz noted Whitby set up a ‘China Strategy’ in 2013, which includes trade missions to China by the mayor and key staff members. The key reason for a strategy is “to attract new Chinese business investment and trade into the community. Ajax is beginning to attract substantial Chinese investment, and this mission provides an opportunity to further build relations at all levels, while further promoting Ajax as a place for investment,” she wrote. Mayor Steve Parish said the Town was invited by the LeMine Investment Group, the business now in charge of the Grand Harwood Place at the Ajax Plaza. “They thought it would be a good idea to speak with investors for the project,” the mayor said during the meeting. The Town has been “getting more direct investment from China,” he said. The LeMine group “felt there was some immediacy” in Town officials going to China, Mayor Parish said. “It’s better to do sooner rather than later. We’re doing our due diligence. I think it’s an appropriate thing to do and the right time to do it,” Mayor Parish said. Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown noted the Town has received “consider- able investment even though we haven’t gone to China. This will help.” The trip is slated to end on Oct. 29, but could be extended to Nov. 2 if need be. The cost is between $16,000 to $20,000.

Charges include 21 counts of driving while disqualified PICKERING -- Four dozen charges have been laid against a Pickering man accused of fleeing from police in a speeding vehicle twice in two days. Charges against the suspect, who has been implicated in a string of shoplifting and theft of gas incidents throughout the region, include 21 counts of driving while disqualified, Durham police said. Cops first made contact with a suspect Oct. 16, when officers attempted to stop a Honda Civic on Whites Road in Pickering, The vehicle sped away, driving through a red light and narrowly missing oncoming traffic, police said. The pursuit was ended over concerns for public safety. The next day the Honda was spotted by officers on Ritson Road South in Oshawa and a traffic stop was initiated. Once again the driver of the car accelerated away, blowing through a red light, and the chase was suspended. An investigation led to the identification of a suspect believed to be driving the car with stolen licence plates. The man was linked to a number of shop- lifting and theft of gas incidents, police said. On Sunday, Oct. 18, police arrested a man at a residence in Pickering. Facing 48 charges includ- ing dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, driving while disqualified and theft under $5,000 is Anastasios “Tom” Politidis, 50, of Whites Road in Pickering. Pickering man faces dozens of charges after two police pursuits in two days Two tragic pile-ups on Hwy. 401 between Ajax and Whitby have led to much speculation about driver safety after six people were killed and dozens injured. Both deadly crashes involved trucks, and traffic slowing near construction zones. In each case it appears trucks failed to slow for traffic, setting off a ghastly chain reaction. A lot of drivers have commented on social media about the visual distrac- tions caused by the construction project of the extension of Hwy. 407 in the area. Others have cited traffic congestion, poor lighting and shifting lanes caused by the roadwork. But at the end of the day none of these complaints amount to anything because drivers are supposed to operate their vehicles according to road condi- tions. Traffic control measures have been in place since 2013 along that stretch of Hwy. 401 and meet government regula- tions. “But even with signs indicating there’s construction ahead, drivers are not real- izing that will affect their drive time. It all comes down to drivers paying attention,” said OPP Sergeant Kerry Schmidt. Drivers these days have an increasing number of distractions they have to deal with while operating their vehicles. In September police started cracking down on cellphone use with fines of $400, plus a victim surcharge and court fee, for a total of $490 if settled out of court. The fine jumps to $1,000 if a driver receives a summons or fights the ticket and is found guilty. While cellphones or smartphones are most commonly targeted by police, other hand-held devices are also not permit- ted to be used while operating a vehicle. Those include iPods, GPS and MP3 play- ers, laptops and DVD players. The reason behind these stiffer fines is simple: distracted driving kills. Govern- ment research shows that drivers who use cellphones are four times more likely to be in a collision than drivers who focus on the road. And when drivers take their eyes off the road for more than two seconds, their crash risk doubles. While OPP have attributed the recent Durham Hwy. 401 fatal crashes to truck driver error, Sgt. Schmidt said it’s inap- propriate right now to draw conclusions about what led to those errors. Drivers of all ages should use these two tragic events as a warning about distract- ed driving. Always be aware of what’s going on in front, beside and behind you, pay attention to road signs and reduce your speed accordingly in construction zones. The goal is to arrive alive and sadly that hasn’t happened lately on Hwy. 401. -- 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.

I have dropped flyers, installed signs, knocked on doors, made phone calls and in the last 12 years, I have been the CFO for many federal election cam- paigns. This week’s victory was great, however it made me think about the defeat of 2011, when my candidate and friend lost. For volunteers working behind the scenes, countless hours are spent on the campaign. You do it because you really believe in your candidate. Some sacrifice a lot during a campaign, taking time off from work and being away from family. At the end, we are all hoping for a victo- ry for the candidate we support. Although the results favoured our candidate and put a huge smile on the faces of the entire campaign team, I am reminded of the 2011 defeat and I empathize with the other “camp” who now feel the pain of the defeat. So on Monday I took a moment to think about them and their hard work and com- mitment of the last two months. Sylvain Trépanier CFO for Mark Holland Campaign Pickering Licences seem to be given away to just about anyone To the editor: The department of transportation has to stop being so generous in giving out licences to ignorant, aggressive driv- ers. I don’t know how the testing is done these days but it has to be very easy to pass, otherwise we wouldn’t have driv- ers on our highways who don’t know therules of the road. I was crossing at a crosswalk, when a car came zooming up and almost hit me. He had his window down so nat- urally I yelled at him, to which he just looked at me, drove off and gave me the finger. It is no wonder we have so many fatal- ities on our roads. It is the ignorant drivers, speeding and not paying atten- tion. I see it every day. These idiots are putting my life in danger. Something has to be done to stop them.

The second crash happened in the west- bound lanes between Salem and Brock roads on the night of Oct. 2. Some 20 vehicles were involved and the roadway was closed for hours as the wreckage was cleared. Four died, and a dozen more were injured. Both deadly crashes involved trucks, and traffic slowing near construction zones. In each case it appears trucks failed to slow for traffic, setting off a ghastly chain reac- tion. Reaction has been strong in the wake of the incidents. Commuters commenting on social media cite many issues with the area, construction primary among them. They cited visual distractions caused by the massive construction project associ- ated with the extension of Hwy. 407, as well as traffic congestion, poor lighting and shifting lanes caused by the roadwork. Also prevalent among the opinions was the view that motorists are not adjusting to conditions. “The problem is the drivers,” one read- er commented. “They need to pay more attention, leave earlier so they are not in such a rush, and remember they are not the only ones on the road.” Police and government sources con- tend the construction zone is being man- aged according to regulations, and that the recent pile-ups are probably attributable to driver error. Signage and other safety measures are the responsibility of contractors and are laid out in the Ontario Traffic Manu- al, said Ontario Transportation Ministry spokesman Ajay Woozageer. He said those requirements were being met when the massive Oct. 2 crash occurred. “Traffic control measures in place at the time of the collision met (ministry) requirements,” Mr. Woozageer said. “Since construction started in 2013, very few complaints regarding the traffic conditions have been received by the ministry.” Sergeant Kerry Schmidt, the OPP spokes- man who spent hours on the scene of both recent crashes, agreed. He said there are warnings well in advance of the construc- tion zones, and that the work sites them- selves can be navigated safely. “Those signs have been there for a year already,” Sgt. Schmidt said. “But even with signs indicating there’s construction ahead, drivers are not realizing that will affect their drive time. It all comes down to drivers paying attention.” As for the suggestion the work being done in the area is a distraction for drivers, Sgt. Schmidt was direct: “There’s really no excuse for that,” he said. “Drivers should be focusing and paying attention.” While OPP have attributed the crashes to truck driver error, Sgt. Schmidt said it’s inappropriate right now to draw conclu- sions about what led to those errors. “It would be speculative for me to say what the issues are,” he said. “But they are professional drivers. It’s their responsibil- ity to stay in control of their vehicles and adjust to road conditions.” Sergeant Glenn Courneyea of the Dur- ham police traffic unit said it’s critical that contractors follow guidelines for notifying drivers of upcoming construction. In addi- tion to those notices, there are often signs posted to warn drivers that fines for speed- ing are increased in zones where workers are present. After that, he said, it’s up to motorists to take heed. “Signage is probably one of the most important factors around construction zones,” he said. While Durham police do not patrol Hwy. 401 -- that’s the responsibility of the OPP -- they have stepped up enforcement efforts on feeder roads leading to the construction zone, Sgt. Courneyea said. The presence of Durham officers is designed to slow traffic before it reaches the areas affected by road work, he said. “We’ve been stepping this up for a while, and we’ll keep on doing it,” Sgt. Courneyea said. “Being visible is key. We want to make sure we have officers in that area to enforce the speed limits.” Sgt. Courneyea agreed that while road work can be a challenge, it’s ultimately up to drivers to traverse construction zones safely. “It’s your responsibility to keep your eyes on the road, your hands on the wheel and your full attention on what you’re doing,” he said. Local work is part of the Province’s plan to extend Hwy. 407 to Hwy. 115. The proj- ect is expected to be completed by late 2020, Mr. Woozageer said. Readers responding to our call for com- ments on Facebook had much to say about traffic hazards in the Hwy. 401 construction between Ajax and Whitby. While they cited factors including confusing lane shifts, low light and visual distractions, many agreed it’s up to drivers to adjust to conditions. Here’s a sampling: • “There are NO construction area ahead signs... no slow down, no speed reduction and poor lighting throughout the stretch of highway. Fact is there is no lighting all once past Salem Road heading eastbound and no lighting westbound. Now with concrete barri- ers up along the highway there is no room for error. There is no way out for drivers.” - Catherine Cowle-Fields • “Construction is a visual distraction due to the size of the 407 project. The 401 was fairly straight through that area but now there are many twists and turns due to the new roads. It is particularly dark in that area consider- ing the roads having many turns and twists. Some line markings are very hard to figure out especially during dusk and dark. People just have to be more patient and watch the road plus stop weaving in and out. There is too much carelessness out there and lives being lost.” - Lynda Prettie • “I commute constantly this way. People are too busy paying attention to the construc- tion and not to the traffic on the road. People weave in and out of lanes and drive like idi- ots. The lanes are very narrow.” - Jessica Maria • “The problem is the drivers who think they can skip the construction by weaving in and out, as well as the bikes who just ride down the shoulders and then cut in. Also it gets very slow there because people seem to get nervous about the lane sizes so they slow down excessively, and brake frequently, causing traffic backups or they slow down to stare at the construction and stop paying attention to the road. Construction is a part of our society, the problem is how drivers are dealing with it.” - Katrina Handley • “The weaving and the tailgating is the prob- lem through this stretch. You can’t antici- pate the people in front of you and there is absolutely NO SHOULDER to pull over to if someone hits their brakes in front of you.” - Mary Gouveia-Ironmonger • “That whole area seems to catch a lot of people off guard, particularly when there is new lane realignments or an unexpected lane closure. Given the volume of traffic in this area it seems much more signage and perhaps police involvement in slowing traf- fic before people get the construction zones would be warranted.” - Mark Morissette What commuters are saying: DURHAM -- First responders survey the wreckage of the most recent Hwy. 401 crash, which claimed the lives of four people and sent several others to hospital. That crash, on Oct. 2, came just over a week after another fatal crash that killed two men.

On Saturday, Oct. 24, Mr. Dahdouli will be joined by others in a walk from Ajax to Mississauga. He’s hoping to raise $3,000, which would go to the Al-Salam School in Reyhanli, Turkey, about one mile from Turkey’s busiest border cross- ing with Syria. Al-Salam, which means ‘school of peace,’ would hire a teacher with the money. He noted $3,000 is the annual salary for a teacher in Turkey. “It’s low, but that’s what the salaries are,” he said. “I’ve been passionate about Syrian ref- ugees for some time. It’s only in the past two or three months there’s been a spike in the media because of the child show- ing up on the shore. I’ve been doing this for two years,” Mr. Dahdouli said. He’s been helping send clothing and food to Lebanon, where there are about one million refugees. Since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, almost four million Syrians have become refugees. “I keep reading about all the children saying ‘I want to go to school’,” he added. “They’ve been referred to as a ‘Lost Gen- eration.’ Think of the children not going to school 20 years from now.” Mr. Dahdouli is a long-distance walker, having once walked from Ajax to Union Station in Toronto. “I want to put my two passions togeth- er -- Syrian refugees and walking.” He’ll be starting at Westney Road and Hwy. 2 in Ajax and head to the Dixie Outlet Mall on the Queen Elizabeth Way, west of Hwy. 427, in Mississauga. It’s 54 kilometres, but he’s added six more kilometres and will head to Lake Ontario. “I’m not the only one walking. Other people will be joining me,” Mr. Dahdouli noted, adding, with breaks, he estimates the walk will take 14 hours. There are three different check points where someone can jump in, he said. He’s a product manager for an accounting software firm. He now lives in Pickering, but had been living in Ajax until June of this year. Mr. Dahdouli said education has a place of prominence in Syrian cul- ture. Prior to the start of the civil war, enrolment in schools was close to 100 per cent. Now, it’s about 50 per cent, while in some war-ravaged cities, such as Aleppo, enrolment is about six per cent. Being in school allows children to leave the harsh realities of the crisis and focus on their future, he noted. Since the civil war broke out, 12,000 children have been killed, while between 5,000 to 14,000 schools have been dam- aged, destroyed or occupied. About 2.8 million children aren’t going to school anymore. Al-Salam School has an enrolment of 1,880 Syrian refugee children and there are 1,000 children on a waiting list to get into the school.

Appeal Court upholds conviction, sentence for Stanley Tippett, found guilty of assaulting girl in Durham Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Ontario’s appeal court has confirmed a Durham judge’s rulings in the high-profile case of a man found guilty of abducting and sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl. In a ruling released Monday, Oct. 19, the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld Stanley Tippett’s convictions on charges includ- ing sexual assault and kidnapping, as well as the indefinite sentence imposed at the conclusion of his dangerous offender hearing. The court rejected arguments that Supe- rior Court Justice Bruce Glass made errors of law in assessing evidence at Mr. Tip- pett’s trial. “I see no error in his analysis or his con- clusion,” says the ruling, attributed to appeal court Justices Kathryn Feldman, Alexandra Hoy and Paul Rouleau. Mr. Tippett was convicted after a sensa- tional trial in 2009. The Crown alleged Mr. Tippett had encountered a drunk 12-year- old girl in Peterborough in August of 2008, then loaded her into his van and drove her to Courtice, where she was sexually assaulted. Neighbours called police when they heard screams coming from a darkened school yard. Mr. Tippett fled the scene in his van and the partially-clothed girl was discovered by police responding to the report, court heard. Several witnesses identified the accused man, including a Durham police officer, friends of the victim, and a taxi driver who picked Mr. Tippett up after the van was abandoned in Oshawa. Following Mr. Tippett’s 2009 conviction the Crown launched a dangerous offend- er application, which concluded in 2011. Justice Glass granted the application and ruled Mr. Tippett ought to be jailed indefi- nitely. During an appeal in March of this year lawyers for Mr. Tippett argued for a new trial, alleging Justice Glass made mistakes in assessing the credibility of witnesses, including the police officer who pursued Mr. Tippett’s van as it sped away from the school. Among the arguments was that the judge ought to have rejected evidence by the police officer, who failed to make note of Mr. Tippett’s distinctive facial features, which are caused by Treacher Collins Syn- drome. It was also argued that in assessing evidence of other witnesses who identified Mr. Tippet, the judge failed to take into account the inherent frailties of eyewit- ness evidence. But the appeal court found Justice Glass properly assessed the evidence before him, and made no error in accepting the evidence of the officer and other witness- es. “He did so based on the distinctive- ness of (Mr. Tippett’s) facial features, and adverted to the issue of stranger identifica- tion by noting that a person viewing such features would be more likely to remem- ber them,” the ruling states. Other grounds of appeal, including assertions the judge erred in his assess- ment of DNA and cell tower evidence pre- sented at trial, were similarly rejected. The court also upheld Justice Glass’s finding Mr. Tippett is a dangerous offender whose indefinite incarceration is warrant- ed to protect the public. “Based on the appellant’s history of vio- lence, his manipulation of women and girls, and his psychiatric diagnoses, his risk of reoffending was significant,” the rul- ing said.

Without proper stormwater management, Lake Ontario and other local water systems such as creeks and streams can be negatively impacted which results in degradation of water quality. Increased flooding and erosion can lead to reduced diversity of aquatic life, fewer opportunities for human uses of water resources for drinking and recreational activities, and loss of property and human life. Commercial development presents a variety of opportunities for the implementa- tion of stormwater management best practices. Impervious surfaces often account for a majority of the land associated with commercial areas due to large parking areas, rooftops, and sidewalks. When developing, re-developing, or retrofitting an existing commercial area, the incorporation of structural and non-structural storm- water management best practices can significantly reduce and mitigate the impacts of stormwater.

Building on the success of last year’s fun- draising initiative, Durham Regional Police Service launched the 2016 K-9 Calendar on Oct. 16 at Pickering Town Centre. The calendar costs $20 and all proceeds will once again go toward the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region and The Animal Guardian Society (TAGS). Last year more than $27,000 was raised for the two agencies. “The highest cost for us in our program is our vet care, so having added funds com- ing to us like calendar sales is a big asset to care for the animals in our care,” said Kathy Asling, president of TAGS. Det. Const. Jim Stephenson is the trainer and handler of Ozzy -- Mr. October -- who will be retiring soon. “I have had him since he was 14 months,” said Det. Const. Stephenson. When Ozzy retires, he’ll become the fam- ily pet. Ozzy has served Durham police as a general purpose dog, and is generally trained to find people. Often, those people have Alzheimer’s disease or some form of dementia. “We’re close with the Alzheimer service because we’re often called upon to help find people,” said Det. Const. Stephenson, add- ing he lost his mother to Alzheimer’s dis- ease, so it’s an organization that’s close to him. He also has great respect for the work of TAGS. “TAGS does a lot of good work for home- less dogs and cats,” he said. Durham Police Chief Paul Martin was pleased with the finished product. “Our police members look really good,” he said of the K-9 unit. “It certainly is a great opportunity to be able to give to those chari- ties.” He explained the K-9 officers are able to cover a great deal of land when out search- ing for people. “They’re very vital,” he said. “When time is of the essence, our K-9 unit is invaluable when looking for people.” Det. Const. Bryan Armstrong described his relationship with his two K-9 partners, Axel and Vegas, as “awesome. “They don’t buy me coffee, but they don’t complain to me either,” he laughed. He’s happy DRPS is supporting the organi- zations. “We’ve got a huge increase of Alzheimer’s and dementia patients we’re looking for,” he said. Denyse Newton is the executive director for the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region. “Our organization works with families to plan for the eventuality that someone goes missing,” she said. She said three in five people with dementia will wander. “They’re the first responders to help find people,” Ms. Newton said of Durham police. And the assistance of police, both human and canine, is needed more than ever. “The numbers are growing immensely,” said Ms. Newton. “One in 10 people over the age of 65 have some sort of dementia.” She added that number grows to one in three for people older than 85. To purchase a calendar online or to find a list of locations where the calendars are for sale, visit www.drps.ca. Calendars will also be available at DRPS divisions and at the Police Education and Innovation Centre located inside Durham College. PICKERING -- Durham Regional Police K-9 officer Jason Dickson, along with his dog Brock, signed an autograph for a couple of fans at the launch of the K-9 Unit calen- dar at the Pickering Town Centre Oct. 16. All proceeds from this year’s calendar will once again be donated to the Alzheimer Society Durham and The Animal Guardian Society (TAGS).

Fact was, it was a spar- kling wine made with the tradition- al champagne method but -- in Bra- zil. Southern Brazil’s mountainous Serra Gaucha region in the state of Rio Grande do Sol makes impres- sive sparkling wine, as well as wine in general. The region was settled first by Germans (1820s) and then by Italians (1870s), who founded many industries, including that of viticulture and wine making. The city of Bento Goncalves and its Vale Dos Vinhedos or Valley of Wine contains many wineries. Wineries such as Salton, Miolo, Casa Valduga and Pizzato, to name a few, all produce fine sparklers that rival that of any other country. I recently came across several bot- tles from the Aurora Vincola Coop- erativa Winery located in Bento Goncalves. This is one of the oldest and largest wineries in Brazil. Aurora was founded in 1931 by 16 families of grape producers. This co-operative now includes 1,100 wine families and is capable of put- ting out more than 38 million litres of wine per year. There are four winemakers, one of whom, Andre Peres, was my guide when I filmed there in 2012. The winery was vast with many interesting sites which included a four-million litre wine barrel. I tasted many of their wines and established a marked preference for the winery’s ‘Riserva’ line with such wines as the Aurora Millesime Cab- ernet Sauvignon, but I was also very impressed by their sparkling wine. The wine, Aurora Pinot Noir Procedencias Non Vintage Meto- do Charmat (Vintages #412536, $15.95), is excellent value with a nice lively medium bubble mousse, floral, strawberry, pear, apple fla- vours. On the palate it is medium bodied with apple, pear, strawber- ry fruit and a crisp finish. It’s a wine that is great as an aperitif or with light meat or fowl such as turkey. The wine is made using the Char- mat method, where the wine goes through a secondary fermentation in large, pressurized stainless steel tanks rather than in the individual bottle as done in the traditional method (cham- pagne). This allows greater amounts of spar- kling wine to be made. The usual result is a much less expensive, larger bubbled wine that is meant to be con- sumed young but still having full flavour and refreshing acidity. I strongly recommend you trying this wine which, if not found at your local store, can be requested for purchase by asking for a store-to- store transfer. Just have the category number in hand. Brazil’s star is slowly rising so if you happen to see some of its wine, give some a try. -- Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine indus- try, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada.Chuck Byers Wine 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 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 15 AP 1955 Valley Farm Rd., Pickering www.orchardvillaretirement.ca Vendors Wanted Vendors Wanted Vendors wanted for our Annual Jingle Bell Christmas Bazaar Saturday, November 21st 10am - 2pm Contact Cheryl for details and to book your table today. 905-831-2641 ext 4304 2212 TAUNTON ROAD, HAMPTON APPLIANCE WAREHOUSE: 905-263-8369 • 1-800-798-5502 www.PaddysMarket.ca It’s Worth the Drive to Hampton!

Two other people saw their licences sus- pended for three days after registering warnings on screening devices during the RIDE blitz, which saw officers set up near GO stations following the Toronto Blue Jays playoff game Oct. 19, Durham police said. “We are encouraged that many chose public transit to make the trip, but wanted to ensure everyone made the right choices once they returned to the region,” Sergeant Bill Calder said. Police stopped 300 vehicles during the initiative. In total six people were asked to provide roadside breath samples. In another incident, officers boarded a GO train in Pickering to speak to four intoxicated men who had been disturbing other riders with their boisterous behav- iour. A caution was issued, police said. The Blue Jays won the American League Championship Series game, defeating the Kansas City Royals 11-8. 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 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 16 AP Some conditions apply.

Durham encourages more tree planting across region Five Million Trees Program launched DURHAM -- A large sugar maple tree planted at Durham Regional Headquar- ters on Oct. 14 is one of many the Region hopes will sprout up across Durham. It was part of the Durham Five Million Trees Program, which calls for trees to be planted across Durham on both pub- lic and private lands, in rural and urban areas. The Regional Municipality of Durham, in partnership with Forests Ontario and Raw Materials Company, celebrated the ceremonial tree planting, encouraging tree planting. “Today’s event is symbolic of a part- nership that has developed between the Region of Durham, Raw Materials Company and Forests Ontario,” said Durham Regional Chair- man Roger Anderson. “Moving forward, we will continue to encour- age community tree planting events in area municipalities in an effort to increase tree coverage in Durham, and meet the goals set out in the Durham Community Climate Change Local Action Plan.” On June 3, Durham council endorsed Raw Materials Company as a corpo- rate champion for the tree program. The company will now donate $1.10 for every kilogram of single-use batter- ies recycled at participating locations to Forests Ontario to plant trees through- out Durham Region.

The Ontario Community Newspa- pers Association has announced its 35th annual Ontario Junior Citizen Awards, an opportunity to celebrate young peo- ple who are making a difference.

The OCNA will rec- ognize up to 12 nominees from across the province as award recipients. Potential candidates include: • A person involved in worthwhile community service. • A young person contributing to the community while living with a physical or psychological limitation. • Someone who has performed an act of heroism in the past year. • Youths who’ve made achievements in pursuits including arts and athletics. • Good kids who show a commitment to making life better for others, and who do more than is normally expected of someone their age. Over the years a number of young peo- ple from Durham Region have been rec- ognized as Junior Citizens. The OCNA is in the process of compiling a Where Are They Now publication on past recipi- ents.

Pickering Town Centre wins gold for anti-texting and driving teen initiative Mall captures international award for marketing PICKERING -- The Pickering Town Cen- tre’s message to teens not to text and drive was so strong that it helped the mall pick up a special award. The International Council of Shopping Centers announced the winners of the 2015 Canadian Shopping Centre Awards competition, and named Pickering Town Centre as a gold winner in the marketing category for its #live2see20 campaign. “We are thrilled to be recognized by the ICSC for this tremendous honour,” said Lorna Murphy, Pickering Town Centre marketing director. “We’re also extremely pleased at the success of this important campaign that reached out to teenagers and their families to demonstrate how danger- ous it is to drive while distracted by texting.” The campaign influenced more than 800 local teens to sign a pledge not to text and drive. Additional initiatives included an edu- cational Teen Lounge that attracted 1,410 teen visits over the March break, a popular contest with an educational twist, and a driving and texting obstacle course in the shopping centre’s parking lot. In total, 1,000 educational cards were distributed and the 30-second public service announcement received more than 21,000 views.

Many families affected by autism do not have the opportunity to have an annual visit with Santa during the holidays due to chal- lenges with sensory processing, anxiety and difficulty with transitions. This event allows them the chance to visit with Santa without the distractions of the large crowds, mall music, Christmas lights, and movable char- acters at the set. The Silent Santa event will take place before mall hours from 8 to 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 15 and Nov. 22. Families will be given a time slot in which to arrive. Crafts will be available for wait times. Each family will receive a free 5x7 photo and digital file courtesy of Cherry Hill Photo. There is a $10 registration fee when families sign up, but it’s refunded upon arrival.

Such was the effect of Kate Reid, queer activist and musician who has taught within the LGBTQ community for more than 25 years. The Vancouver resident has released four music albums and per- formed multiple shows and workshops across Canada, like the one that took place in Ajax on Oct. 16. “This is my identity like clay on a pot- ter’s wheel,” Reid sang, performing her original song Identity to open the work- shop. “It’s taking form as my life keeps spinning around, spinning around, and it’s changing shape with these hands and it’s bending with every breath. I come closer to me each time I hold it close, each time I take that step.” Her workshop, Self-Reflective Writ- ing: Working with Metaphor/Simile and Identity, previously called Singing Queer: Songs that Empower and Inspire Social Change, incorporated writing and music into understanding the fluidity and diversity of personal identity. The importance of self-discovery, particular- ly in the youth LGBTQ community, was emphasized through exercises with met- aphors, similes and other forms of cre- ative writing. “This workshop is to get the kids intrigued in writing that can help them find themselves,” Reid said. “I want to get them inspired to find out who they real- ly are. For me, music and writing are big ways that I found out who I am. I want to create a place where people can put their thoughts down and exercise that self-dis- covery. The best part is we never know what is going to happen and what will end up on that page.” Complementary notebooks were filled with metaphors and similes of what per- sonal identity meant to each attendee. Participants were also guided through stream-of-consciousness writing (unin- terrupted writing for five minutes straight) and free verse poetry exercises, until each member had a poem of what identity meant to them, based on an original metaphor or simile. “It was so powerful,” said one young participant from Ajax. “It made me think of myself and who I am in ways I never had before. I think we lose the impor- tance of knowing who we are, especial- ly when we find it so confusing, like in the LGBTQ community. I think a lot of LGBTQ youth are also told to bury who they really are by society, and this was a day to celebrate it instead.” The workshop, hosted by the Town of Ajax in partnership with IMPACT Ajax, The Youth Centre, and Durham Regional Police, involved youth from across Ajax and Pickering. Among the audience were eight Durham Region Police officers rep- resenting Durham Region Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy (DRAVIS), a police program specializing in awareness and encouragement of anti-violence. The officers eagerly participated in each activity. “This is a great chance for the Durham Region Police to showcase support for the youth community and build a stron- ger understanding of it,” said Det. Const. Brandon Stanway, lead officer of DRA- VIS. “It’s a chance for us to show our sup- port for the LGBTQ community, and to show the fact that we’re willing to reach out. We are here and we are approach- able.” Participants left with a new under- standing of themselves, and ways in which they could explore their person- alities through music and writing. Reid thoroughly explained the importance of each, and opened up to the audi- ence about her own struggles with being queer, finding what her identity meant to her and accepting herself. “I got into music after writing in my journal so much, those eventually became song lyrics,” she said. “Music has been the most profound point of inspiration for me. I want to share that with people. I want to set a stage for people, particularly those in marginalized communities, to have a voice and use it proudly.” For more information on Kate Reid, or to attend her upcoming shows and work- shops, visit www.katereid.net .

Herongate Barn Theatre presents Per- fect Wedding to Nov. 14. “An appalling situation!” states a press release. “A bridegroom wakes on his wedding morning in his own bridal suite, with his bride-to-be about to arrive any moment, and finds a strange girl in bed beside him. What’s more, an extremely attrac- tive girl whom, in the depths of his post stag-night hangover, he can’t remotely remember even having been introduced to. Worse, during the ensuing panic to get the stranger dressed and out of the way, the bride arrives and the girl is trapped in the bathroom.” Perfect Wedding features Ray Por- rill and Shari Thorne of Oshawa, Kelly Anne-Moss of Pickering, Elizabeth Hold- en of Whitby and Chris Furlong and Terry Leach of Scarborough. Herongate is at 2885 Altona Rd. in west Pickering (between Taunton and White- vale roads). For tickets, visit www.herongate.com or call 905-472-3085 or 1-866-902-9884.

Eyes of Alice pays tribute to Alice Cooper at Oshawa’s Regent Theatre on Halloween Eve Natalie van Rooy mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Alice Cooper tribute band Eyes of Alice is transforming the Regent Theatre on the eve of Halloween. The band has been busy preparing for the theatrical show, The Ultimate Alice Cooper Experience, that will combine the vocals, sound and set design of Alice Cooper with a Halloween edge on Oct. 30 in Oshawa. “Halloween and Alice Cooper go hand- in-hand,” says Whitby’s Robby Cooper, lead vocalist. “It’s the perfect time to unleash everything that we have.” The band has been together for five years and performed their first Halloween- themed show in 2012. Other band mem- bers are “J-son” from Brantford on gui- tar, “Tyrone Shoelaces” from Guelph on bass/vocals, Orangeville’s “Zander Naz” on drums/vocals and Bowmanville’s “Stude- baker Hock” on guitar/vocals. “Halloween is like our New Year’s,” says Cooper. “It’s a huge rush for us to be able to go out and perform, but we never reveal the secrets of our show until the crowd can see it for themselves.” The concert will include songs from a variety of Alice Cooper’s albums over the years, including his latest release, ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’. Robby Cooper says the crowd is welcome to get into the spirit by dressing up for the show. “I would encourage it,” he says. “When you look out on stage and see people dressed up, it gets you pumped up because you know people are into the spirit of the night.” He says he has been impersonating Alice Cooper on stage for more than a decade. It is a coincidence they share the same last name, but Cooper knew he was a fan when he got his first Alice Cooper album at age eight from a neighbour. “The first song I ever heard was ‘I’m Eighteen’ and that was the moment that I became a fan,” he says. His first attendance at an Alice Cooper concert was in 1980, but the performer did not show up. A riot ensued and it became known as the 1980 CNE riot. “I can still remember thinking that if this is the reaction that he has on a crowd when he doesn’t show up, I can’t wait to see what it is like when he is here,” says Cooper. He has since been to 15 Alice Cooper shows and has spent countless hours per- fecting an impersonation of the performer. “I watch the concert videos, pay attention to what he does on stage, analyze his dance moves, his interaction with the audience, the hand gestures and the facial expres- sions,” says Cooper. “I really do my home- work and my philosophy has always been that if I want the crowd to believe then I have to believe.” Cooper says when he gets on stage, he lets the character take over. “The second that the costume is on and that last stroke of makeup goes on, I am Alice,” he says. “You cannot and will not convince me otherwise.” Eyes of Alice is due on stage at 8 p.m. For tickets, visit tickets.regenttheatre.ca or call 905-721-3399, ext. 2 DURHAM -- Whitby’s Robby Cooper says he is Alice Cooper when he dons the make-up and steps on stage to perform.

Instead, she will be spending it with another family — her teammates on the Canadian junior ringette team that will be competing in the World Champion- ships in Helsinki, Finland. Her family, dad, mom and brother will be flying out on Dec. 25 to join her, but the holiday season is sure to be different. “At first, I was a bit unsure,” says the 19-year-old defenceman from Pickering about not being home for Christmas. “But we’re going to be over there and be together as a team so much that we will be spending Christmas with our family that’s considered our team. “I don’t think it’s a big deal missing Christmas because it will be such a cool experience and a once in a lifetime thing. It will be a lot of fun to be over there for Christmas.” Gauthier grew up playing in the Pickering ringette system, and has been a member of the provincial program on a couple of occasions. She was part of the Central Region team that competed at the Ontario Winter Games, winning sil- ver in 2012 and bronze in 2014. Earlier this year, she got her first taste of com- petition at the national level as a mem- ber of Team Ontario at the Canada Win- ter Games held in British Columbia. She helped lead her team to the gold medal game, falling 6-4 to Manitoba. A training camp for the national team followed shortly after in May, with 35 hopefuls assembling in Toronto looking to be among the 22 named to the Canadi- an team. At the conclusion of the camp, the players were assembled in a room and waited for their turn to go through the release process. “It was nerve-wracking waiting to find out if you made it or not,” recalls Gauth- ier. “I was feeling confident, but I was so nervous because it would have obviously went either way. “I told myself going into the camp, whether I made it or not, I would be happy that I gave everything I had. Obvi- ously the outcome was what I wanted.” She adds that it was a “cool moment” to find out she would be representing the country at the World Championships. The team will fly out on Dec. 23, with the tournament taking place from Dec. 27 to Jan. 4. It will mark the first time that Canada has sent just one team, opting to send an east and west representative in the past, dividing the country’s talented pool of players into two. Canada East won the last World Cham- pionship, with the toughest competition at this year’s tournament expected to come from the hosts from Finland, pre- dicts Gauthier. Since the Canadian team was named, they have been together for a couple of training camps, once in Waterloo and the other in Toronto over Thanksgiving weekend. Gauthier, who is in the first of a three- year sports management program at Humber College, will be playing this sea- son for the Richmond Hill Lightning of the National Ringette League, after play- ing five games as an affiliated player with the Cambridge Turbos last season. Justin Gideon leads way for Brock baseball BURLINGTON — Once again this season, the Brock Badgers were the team to beat and it showed not only on the field but also when it comes to handing out the baseball hardware. For the second consecutive season, Brock Badgers outfielder Justin Gideon of Pickering has been named OUA Top Hit- ter and a first-team all-star for the Badgers, who put together a 16-2 regular season. The five-foot-9, 185 lbs. community recreation student-athlete led the confer- ence in runs (30), hits (27) and total bases (41). Appearing in all 18 games for the Badgers, Gideon hit .422 with three home runs and 19 runs batted in. Gideon was a perfect 10-for-10 in sto- len bases, finishing third in OUA. Soccer Matt Guerriero collects three points in win for Bryant University PICKERING — Three point games are nothing new for Matt Guerriero. The Pickering resident recorded the second of his career for Bryant University soccer team, leading the Bulldogs to a 3-0 victory over Sacred Heart in a Northeast Conference Division-I game on Oct. 18. Guerriero, 21, in his junior year of eli- gibility, finished the game with a goal and two assists, equalling the same number of points he tallied as a freshman in a game against Long Island University. His first point, an assist from a cor- ner kick, sparked a three goal opening half for Bryant. Guerriero then sent a shot from 18-feet out on the right side to the far left post, scoring his second goal in four games. He finished by setting up a goal in the 43rd minute. In 37 career games, the St. Mary grad- uate who is majoring in finance, has four goals and four assists for Bryant. PICKERING -- Chantel Gauthier of Pickering has been named to the Canadian junior team that will compete at the World Ringette Championships in Finland from Dec. 27 to Jan. 4. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS Pickering The Big M originally opened in 1965, and seven years ago Chris Papatheodorou reopened the drive-in style joint. He is proud to be continuing his father Ted’s tradition of offering delicious, original recipe, award winning homemade hamburgers. The restaurant’s blueprint for a better burger includes a toasted soft bun (that are delivered fresh daily), a seven ounce freshly grilled beef patty, topped with crisp iceberg lettuce, sliced beefsteak tomato, a slice of red onion, pickles, ketchup and yellow mustard. To make your burger even better, you can add on cheddar cheese, Canadian bacon and/or peameal bacon. Customers also love their famous steak on a Kaiser, homemade onion rings, French fries, sweet potato fries, homemade chicken souvlaki and The Big M chicken Caesar salad as well as the tasty Greek salad. While you are here, you can also enjoy one of the signature milkshakes, a soft ice cream cone or a sundae. When you visit The Big M, it’s like taking a trip back in time. The restaurant offers an authentic 60’s vibe. The combination of great food and outstanding customer service will have your coming back time and time again. “We pride ourselves on our 50 plus year tradition of serving the Bay Ridges area, which is why we’ve gone back to the restaurant’s original feel,” Chris says. “We offer high quality food and a good time – plus, you can’t get a better hamburger or steak on a Kaiser anywhere else.” It’s no surprise that that the restaurant was voted in as number one hamburger in Ajax and Pickering. Drop by or drive up to The Big M at 711 Krosno Blvd. (at Liverpool Road, south of the 401) in Pickering for an incredible dining experience.

Three shutouts for Lightning Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com DURHAM — It’s not just that the Dur- ham West Jr. Lightning won three games in four days, it was the dominating fashion in which they bested the opposition that is most impressive. Three games. Three wins. Three shut- outs. After losing their first game of the season on Oct. 4 in Provincial Women’s Hockey League play, the Lightning took out their frustration with wins of 6-0 over Southwest, 3-0 against Barrie and 6-0 against Aurora. “It was three great games for the team,” said head coach Jeremy Murphy of the run. “We had that week off for Thanksgiving and when you have a layoff like that you want to make sure you hit the ground running. “The girls practised really well last week. As a coaching staff we discussed that they looked real hungry and ready to get back playing. Right from the start on Saturday night they had the eye of the tiger, con- trolled that game and never looked back.” On home ice Saturday, Oct. 17 against Southwest, Terri-Lynn Burke led the way with two goals and two assists, while Maria Dominico had two goals and Natalie Wozney chipped in a goal and two assists, while Jaden Head has the other goal in the 6-0 victory. Danika Ranger faced just 10 shots in goal, but stopped them all for the shutout, while the Lightning had 28 shots. The following afternoon in Barrie, the Lightning scored in each period, as Julia Talman, Dominico and Head, into an empty net, did the damage offensively. In goal, it was Tara Hofmann’s turn to contin- ue the shutout streak, stopping 18 shots. On home ice at the Ajax Community Cen- tre on Tuesday, Oct. 20, the Lightning com- pleted the scoreless run by blanking Auro- ra 6-0. Five players had multi-point games, including Dominico who led the way with two goals and two assists. Wozney scored twice, Alexandra Maw had a goal and two assists, Taylor Hick a goal and assist, while Head chipped in three helpers. Ranger was back in goal and recorded her second shut- out in four days, posting a clean slate on 17 shots. “Both goalies were good,” said Murphy as he began to roll through the checklist. “Sometimes the stat line is a bit deceiving. We certainly controlled the games, but our goaltenders were there to make some time- ly saves and keep games close, especially early on. “Our defence limited the other team’s chances. Our forwards were filling the net. All three lines were scoring different types of goals. A lot of commitment away from the puck, creating chances. Some of our players, with their skill level, you give them chances they are going to fill the net.” The run of success has moved the Light- ning into fourth place with a record of 6-1- 1-0.

Adrian Sorichetti, who grew up in Whitby, learned the game through the Whitby Minor Lacrosse Asso- ciation and won a Minto Cup with the Jr. A Warriors in 2011, has organized the day, which will include all of the local lacrosse associations, two of his teammates on the 2015 championship Edmonton Rush team and several other pro players. The trophy will be on display from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the main lobby at Iroquois Park, and join- ing Sorichetti will be Rush teammates John LaFon- taine and Curtis Knight as well as other NLL play- ers, including Dan Lintner, Nick Diachenko, Alexis Buque, Chad Tutton and Mitch Wilde. “We’ve just built such a pedigree from Whitby and it’s been in our tradition for a very long time, so I’m just very, very thankful to be a part of the Rush, to win a championship and bring it back to Whitby, and basically give back to all the organizations that have gotten me to this point, and got us to this point,” Sorichetti explained. The hope is to draw young players from all the surrounding lacrosse asso- ciations, including Oshawa, Claring- ton, Ajax and Uxbridge, so they can get a glimpse of the Cup and pose for photos with it and the pro players on hand. “I’m trying to make it a nice big event for the kids to come out and really get that exposure to the NLL players that grew up in these minor systems,” Sorichetti said. “That’s what the purpose is.” The Rush, which has relocated to Sas- katchewan since winning the title in Edmonton, is led by head coach and general manager Derek Keenan of Oshawa, who has also coached Sorichet- ti and many others to Minto Cup titles with the Warriors. It’s no coincidence, therefore, that the Rush’s championship roster includ- ed the likes of Sorichetti, LaFontaine, Knight, Mark Matthews and Zack Greer, all of whom went through the Whitby system. Those on hand Sunday will be able to enter a raffle for the chance to win two tickets to see the Rush take on the Toron- to Rock at the Air Canada Centre next season, with a meet and greet after the game. 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 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 32 AP Call: 1-866-496-4031 Visit: triOSdurham.com Campus: 200 John St. W.
