See contest rules at durhamregion.com Youth Job Connection Program helps at-risk Durham youths Intent is to help 1,000 young people in Durham find work Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A job program for youths aims to help 1,000 Durham Region residents develop the skills needed to find employ- ment. The Youth Job Connection Program is for youths 15 to 29 years old who have multiple barriers to finding a job. Laura Oliver, the executive assistant for Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson, said the program is a $160-million initiative over two years, with the aim of helping 150,000 Ontario youths. Durham Region’s portion is $7 million over the two years. Ms. Oliver said about 1,000 youths in Dur- ham will be helped. “They need extra help,” she said, adding the youths are facing mental health issues, legal difficulties and problems at home. “At-risk youths are specifically targeted,” she said. Mr. Dickson said, “We’ll take them by the hand, sit down with them.” The youths aren’t “functioning proper- ly. They face barriers. It takes time to help them,” he added following an announce- ment of the program at the Pickering YMCA employment centre on Oct. 30. While in the program, the youths will be paid “to make sure they stay in the pro- gram. It’s a difficult situation for some of the youths,” Mr. Dickson noted. Garth Neilson, the senior general manag- er for the YMCA Employment and Commu- nity Services, said the program “means we’ll be able to provide a lot more immediate support. It’s designed for the most needy.” In workshops, the youths will get help in such areas as resumes and how to do a job interview. “Once the workshops are done, we’ll place them with an employer,” Mr. Neilson said. “It will create opportunities for the most needy.” While the program started on Oct. 1, the Y is getting ready to do “all the intake and prep for the workshops,” he noted. Mr. Dickson said the program places youths in jobs and “we make sure they stay in the job. They’ll grow as young adults and be an important part of our future. “The nice part is eight offices in Durham are all part of the funding,” Mr. Dickson said. In addition to the YMCA employment offices in Pickering and Whitby, other agen- cies involved include VPI Inc. in Ajax and Oshawa, the John Howard Society of Dur- ham in Whitby, Conseil des Organismes Francophones de la Region of Durham, Durham College and the Durham Region Unemployment Help Centre in Oshawa. To be in the program, the youths can’t be working, not in school and not enrolled in a training program and must live in Durham Region.

Crown seeks five-year prison term for Ajax investment advisor who defrauded clients Roger Schoer found guilty of swindling neighbours and life-long friends Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The Crown is seeking a significant peni- tentiary term for a disgraced Ajax financial advisor described by one fraud victim Friday as an “unconscio- nable liar”. Roger Schoer exploited victims including neighbours and life-long friends as he wove a “tangled web of trans- actions”, prosecutor Mitchell Flagg said during a sen- tencing hearing Oct. 30 in Oshawa. “It’s one victim feeding another,” Mr. Flagg said of Mr. Schoer’s dealings with clients, who entrusted him with funds they thought were being invested in penny stocks offered by emerging companies. “This was a complicated, detailed, and ... quite inten- tional arrangement of conduct from beginning to end.” Mr. Flagg recommended a five-year prison term as well as a fine of more than $430,000 for Mr. Schoer, an Ajax-based investment advisor who was found guilty in August of fraud following a lengthy and complex trial. It’s unknown where the money Mr. Schoer was entrusted with went, Mr. Flagg noted. “There can be no doubt this was a fraud over $1 mil- lion,” he said. Mr. Schoer was charged in 2009 following a police investigation into complaints lodged by clients who said they’d been defrauded after giving Mr. Schoer money to invest in “off book” sales of stocks in companies that were not yet being publicly traded. At trial Mr. Flagg alleged Mr. Schoer was actually running a Ponzi scheme, sometimes using funds from new investors to pay off those who wanted to cash out. On some occasions cheques issued to nervous investors bounced, court heard. Testifying in his own defence Mr. Schoer described himself as a middle man who facilitated sales of stocks between investors who held them and clients who wanted in on the sometimes risky ventures. He claimed clients didn’t grasp the complexity of the transactions. But the reality of the case is far different, Mr. Flagg said Friday: “There was only one person Mr. Schoer was serving at all times: Mr. Schoer,” he said. “All that money went into his pockets and nowhere else.” Also addressing Superior Court Justice Cory Gilmore was Ron Dollekamp, a long-time friend of Mr. Schoer’s who said he and his partner were defrauded of more than $120,000. “We sailed right into Roger Schoer’s whirlpool of deception,” he said in a victim impact statement. Mr. Dollekamp said that when he expressed concern about his money he was reassured by his friend of more than 30 years, whom he now considers “an unconscionable liar”. “We now know you planned to steal the money right from the beginning,” he said. “Roger Schoer, you are truly the most wicked person we have ever known.” Justice Gilmore is to rule on sentence at a later date.

I still treasure that thing they call quality and service,” he said. He was speaking at the third annual Small Business Appreciation Breakfast and trade show, hosted by Meridian, the largest credit union in Ontario. The event attracted about 300 people to the Deer Creek Golf and Ban- quet Centre on Tuesday, Nov. 3. When asked for one piece of advice, Mr. Rosen said, “There’s always room for a bet- ter idea. Competition, you’ll will always have that. You need a better idea, what’s seen as a new idea. Changes are constantly occurring.” His theme was “how to take a culture and way of thinking that’s still very timely. Build a team. Develop a culture with your custom- ers.” His eponymous company, Harry Rosen, is the largest high-end men’s wear retailer in Canada, with about 40 per cent of the mar- ket. Since opening his first store on Parlia- ment Street in Toronto in 1954, the company has expanded to 17 stores across the country, with more than 700 employees and sales of about $300 million. Mr. Rosen said he resisted expanding beyond one store. “I felt I couldn’t be in two places at one time. I wanted to confine my interest and energy at one store.” Eventually, he relented and opened a second store in the Yorkdale Mall. “It opened and ended up doing extremely well.” The second store attracted customers who normally wouldn’t have gone into his down- town store. Mr. Rosen added he also didn’t want to open a store outside of Toronto. He was approached by a developer who was going to build the West Edmonton Mall, the larg- est shopping centre in Canada. People in Western Canada had seen the company’s ads for years, but couldn’t buy clothes unless they came to Toronto. The company is “present in the seven major markets in this country,” Mr. Rosen said. Mr. Rosen’s clothing career began in 1953, when he was hired as a stock boy at a Bloor Street men’s clothing store. He wanted to be a salesman. “I realized I love doing this. As a student, I wasn’t going to be much,” he said. “I wanted a shop of my own. I went to talk to my father and I said I wanted to leave school and open my own shop,” he said, adding he celebrated his 60th anniversary in the busi- ness in 2014. He found a location on Parliament Street and negotiated a lease of $1,000, with $500 down. He didn’t have the money and asked his father, who also didn’t have the money. The father spoke with a family member and came up with the $500, which Mr. Rosen soon paid back. When he started out, Mr. Rosen had an “ideology of quality.” In 1961, he relocated to a store on Rich- mond Street, which friends and advisors didn’t think was a good location. His philosophy is “quality and look.” Mr. Rosen dealt with an ad agency where the agreement was the agency would come up with an ad and Mr. Rosen would pay with two suits -- one for the salesman and one for the art director. The condition on the agree- ment was Mr. Rosen couldn’t change the ad. He had to approve it or cancel it. The agency, Young and Rubicam, came up with a couple of ads with the tag line ‘Ask Harry.’ “It was the beginning of a brilliant campaign showing me as an expert.” Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland AJAX -- Harry Rosen, executive chairman of Harry Rosen Incorporated, spoke about his success in the business world during Meridian’s small business appreciation break- fast at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility. 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 • No v e m b e r 5 , 2 0 1 5 5 AP w “I Don’t Feel Right About AFancy Funeral”Cremation with no embalming,funeral or expensive casket$1,687 Total Price Co-Ordination ($300), Documentation ($50), Shelter ($150), Transfer of Remains ($250)Laraby Cremation Casket ($150), Coroner ($75), Death Registration ($25), Cremation ($570),HST ($117) www.pickeringcremations.caMonthlypre-­‐arrangement plans availableArrangementsdoneinperson,or onlineAssistance with CPP Death benefit applicationToll Free (24 hours) 1-­‐877-­‐987-­‐3964Email: info@cremations.caProvided by Newcastle Funeral Home Ltd.Serving Durham Region and GTA 214 Dundas St. E., Whitby 905-666-2221 • 905-686-0328 1-888-880-6786 gillespielawyers.ca A gillespie Law Office Legal Matters n insurance adjuster works for the insurance company, and their job is to investigate claims made to the insurance company.As part of their investigation, they will interview you and any witnesses,inspect any damage done to property, review medical and hospital records, and look at anything else that made have had an impact on the accident.

The Youth Job Connection Program, announced by Liberal MPPs last week, will see $7 million set aside for Durham-based initiatives with a focus on assisting 1,000 local youth. These are at-risk young men and women in Durham’s communities who need extra help, according to Laura Oliver, executive assistant to Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dick- son. They face mental health issues, legal difficulties, or problems at home. Youth enrolled in the program will be paid to participate and stay in the program while learning essential job search and reten- tion skills. Ultimately, participants will be placed with employers. This is precisely the sort of initiative required for a segment of society that has traditionally faced seemingly immovable barriers to obtaining and keeping employ- ment. Coupled with the incoming federal Lib- eral government’s youth employment ini- tiative, in which Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau has committed to creating 40,000 youth jobs each year for three years under a $1.3-billion program, youth in Ontario should finally see some movement on the availability of new jobs through such programs. Considering that the unemployment rate for Ontario youth between the ages of 15 and 24 is estimated at 17 per cent (the national average is between 13.5 and 14.5 per cent), investments in programs to secure that all-important first paying job for youth are vitally important. Here at home, several local agencies are ready to launch the provincial initia- tive and get at-risk kids to work, even as the federal initiative to create more youth jobs percolates in Ottawa. YMCA Employ- ment and Community Services is conduct- ing the intake and prep work for the work- shops in Durham, while other agencies participating in the program include VPI Inc. in Ajax and Oshawa, the John Howard Society of Durham in Whitby, Conseil des Organismes Francophones de la Region of Durham, Durham College and the Dur- ham Region Unemployment Help Centre in Oshawa. This program represents an impor- tant new step in confronting the issue of chronic youth unemployment in Ontario. The promise of additional federal dollars in similarly focused programs could open more doors -- quite literally -- for Durham Region youth seeking to mount the barriers they face and land that vital first paying job. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Walk the talk at 24 Sussex Drive To the editor: When I heard that 24 Sussex Drive has reported an annual energy usage of rough- ly $90,000 I was appalled. Before I heard this, I was not support- ive of my tax dollars being spent to “give the prime minister’s residence a facelift.” I don’t care whether they like the current decor. It is, however, absolutely time for our leaders to get on board with energy efficiency. How can we as a country say that we are engaged in supporting global climate change initiatives when this very public building demonstrates a blatant dis- regard for energy usage? Whether they tear down and build a new residence or renovate the existing residence I implore them to apply their $10-million renovation budget to use Canadian-made products to create an energy-efficient structure with appropriate levels of insulation, which uses sustainable energy sources like wind and solar power, geothermal heating and water efficient options. It is time for us to insist that our leaders lead by example and put their words to action and live their stated principles -- at home, literally. Cynthia Kocur Local mystery, author featured as November Noir returns at Whitby Library We’re in the depths of fall and the days are getting shorter. November can be a rather dreary month but Whitby Public Library is once again doing its best to make it brighter. It’s running November Noir, with an emphasis on mysteries. The first program focuses on a local mystery, The Curious and Unsolved Case of William P. Stone. Mr. Stone, the night telegraph operator at Whitby Junc- tion Station, and was shot and killed early on Dec. 11, 1914. No one was ever convicted of his murder. On Thursday, Nov. 12 starting at 7 p.m., Station Gallery curator Olex Wlasenko will share the story of this, Whitby’s “most famous unsolved murder.” If the story isn’t noir enough for you, you might be inter- ested to know the gallery is located in the building where Mr. Stone was killed. Then on Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m., the library plays host to Oshawa author Steve Burrows. He’s the author of two mysteries that feature Inspector Domenic Jejeune, a Canadian police detective solv- ing murders in the Norfolk, England town of Salt- marsh. He also happens to be an avid bird watcher and birds are central to the stories in A Siege of Bit- terns, his first, and A Pitying of Doves. I interviewed Mr. Burrows after he won the 2015 Arthur Ellis Award for best first novel. He’s a delight- ful man and I enjoyed our chat about his books, his writing techniques and birds. I’ve read both of Mr. Burrows’ books and enjoyed them. I found the second one was even better than the first and look forward to the third in the Birder Mystery series, A Cast of Falcons, coming in 2016. You don’t need to know anything about birds to enjoy these books, by the way. But you might find yourself keeping an eye out for different birds once you’ve read them. Registration for these programs, both at the central library, is required. Go to http://www. whitbylibrary.on.ca/ or call any branch of the Whitby Public Library. If you register online, check out the library’s new website. -- Copy editor Christy Chase always enjoys November, noir or otherwise.

ONTARIO JUNIOR CITIZEN AWARDS Sponsored by:Justin Hines,1999 Ontario Junior Citizen,Stouffville,ON New EQAO results offer Durham schools a road map to improvement Data on Grade 9 mathematics performance used to improve teaching techniques, identify concerns Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The latest Grade 9 math stan- dardized test results are out, although labour disruptions have left a bit of an unclear result. Due to strike actions at some school boards, not all Grade 9 students were able to participate in the Education Quality and Accountability Office standardized math- ematics test, including those in the Durham District School Board. Therefore, this year’s results do not include a provincial average to measure against, leaving schools to look back on their performance over time. Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board chairwoman Cathy Abraham said she is pleased with this year’s results, which reflect a continuing upward momentum at the board. “When you look at scores as a snapshot of time you may have one year with a big jump forward,” she explained, noting this year the board saw a slight dip of two per cent in its applied stream and one per cent in its aca- demic stream. “We want to make sure over time we’re continuing to go up and we are. We’re pleased we continue to see that growth and will continue to look at best practices so we can maintain that. It’s important to sustain that.” The board uses the test data to streamline its teaching, identifying areas for improve- ment and evaluating teaching methods to winnow out best practices. This is similar to methods that St. Stephen Catholic Second- ary School in Bowmanville has been using to great effect. “Looking over the past years we’ve been placing really well against the provincial averages, especially in our applied pathway,” said principal Mark Joly, noting the school values all teaching pathways and applies equal resources to each. The school was featured as a success story by the EQAO this year for its steady improve- ment, which has seen applied numbers grow from a low of 25 per cent of students meeting the provincial standard in 2010-2011 to 67 per cent today. Likewise, performance in its academic stream has improved from 77 per cent in 2010-2011 to 91 per cent this year. “This data is very important to bringing precision to our teaching,” Mr. Joly explained, noting the breakdown of individual question performance helps staff identify what strands students are having trouble with, putting more focus on those areas while examining teaching practices to better communicate those lessons. “It’s interesting when you drill down and can compare cohorts,” he said, noting this year’s Grade 9 applied cohort scored 67 per cent at or above the standard, which may not seem like a lot, until compared to Grade 6 results, where only 8 per cent met the stan- dard. “If you look back over the years these jumps are proportionate, each year there’s a substantial jump. I think it’s partly the teach- ers setting high standards, and setting the bar high, but within a supportive environment. I’m proud of the kids and proud of the teach- ers and we are going to continue to work hard.” The EQAO stresses the data that results from the annual standardized testing, in addition to scores, can be used as an impor- tant educational tool for boards across the province. “The value of EQAO results goes well beyond the public accountability that they offer the publicly funded school system with regards to student achievement,” said David Cooke, chairman of the EQAO. “Results are an additional source of reliable information that support the work of all those charged with the education of our children.” For more information, visit www.eqao.com DURHAM RESULTS Figures reflect the percentage of students at or above the provincial standard.

She then takes the bus to work in Ajax and gives up her lunch hour so she can leave early enough to catch the bus to pick up her brother, who has autism, and take him back home to Pickering. Ms. Tabnor, 29, considers her 20-year- old brother, Gad Tabnor, a blessing. She and another brother have been taking care of him since their mother died in 2009. She just wants a little help from Durham Region Transit. “It’s hard to get a full-time day pro- gram,” she said. “That’s why I’ll take the bus every day to drop him off and pick him up.” Her brother graduated high school in June and was originally accepted into the day program in July. Ms. Tabnor said he was approved for specialized servic- es with DRT, which would pick him up from his home and drop him off at the day program, and take him home after- ward. However, he was put on a waiting list since the bus was full and, ultimately, he lost his spot for the day program since Ms. Tabnor couldn’t get him there and back. Mr. Tabnor was approved for another program in October, so his sister called DRT and was told a different story, that he was not eligible for specialized servic- es as he’s classified as ‘integrated.’ “They pretty much told me since he can walk, he doesn’t have a mobility issue so he’s not eligible for the service,” said Ms. Tabnor. When she wasn’t satisfied, since her brother has a cognitive disability, she was told she’d have to appeal the mat- ter and it would take up to 30 days for a decision. So she sent in the appeal stat- ing that her brother should be eligible for specialized services and that he does not require a support worker for the bus. The appeal hearing is set for Nov. 9. “In DRT’s mind, they’re telling me that they feel that I should hire someone to take him to and from the program,” she said. She said she doesn’t want her brother to use conventional transit on his own, but just wants to know he is being taken safely from Point A to Point B. “Gad doesn’t act up,” she said. “He doesn’t need a support worker. He just needs a lift.” She said wait times for a support work- er are long and hiring one is not a cost she can afford. DRT general manager Vincent Patter- son could not address the specific issue, but he spoke about specialized services in general. “To be very clear, people who have either a physical or a functional disabil- ity, meaning essentially a cognitive dis- ability, can be eligible for specialized services,” he said. “It’s not restricted to physical disabilities only.” He said there is a test for eligibility, which is determined by staff and the help of occupational therapists when required. The document available online on applying for specialized services was updated this month. It says eligibility is considered on a case-by-case basis. According to the document, common eligibility responses include: uncondi- tional eligibility, that the applicant is not able to use conventional bus ser- vice, therefore they are eligible for all trips with DRT specialized services; con- ditional eligibility, that the applicant is able to use conventional bus service under certain conditions, therefore they are eligible for some trips with the ser- vices; and not eligible, that the applicant is able to use conventional service, with and/or without a support person, there- fore they are not eligible for any trips with the specialized service. “Normally people with a functional disability that prevents them from trav- elling by themselves would be eligible on specialized, but the requirement of a support person is there,” he said. Mr. Patterson said bus operators can- not act as support workers. “There’s enough responsibilities at the wheel,” he said, and added it’s a matter of safety. Ms. Tabnor said when she investigated the matter in October, DRT’s website had no information on the requirement of a support worker. She also said she regu- larly sees people riding the specialized services bus without support workers. Ms. Tabnor called organizations she thought could help in Durham and was told since her brother is not a child, senior or living in a group home, they can’t help. She’s even inquired about taxi service, and learned it would cost $60 to $70 for one drop-off service. “All I want is for him to have an inde- pendent lifestyle just like myself,” she said. Her brother loves the day program, and she’d like to be able to rely on the service to send him to take part in other activities, such as attending WindReach Farm, where he did a placement in high school. “I would love to set him up with Wind- Reach but I can’t even think of this until the busing issue is resolved,” she said. Ms. Tabnor said she is not alone, and others enrolled in the program have lost the ability to use specialized services as well. Mr. Patterson said the requirement of a support person may not have applied in the past, but statuses may have changed now that DRT is meeting Ontarians With Disabilities Act requirements. “We were transitioning toward being fully compliant and just making sure the services we provide are equitable for everybody,” he said. He said DRT is trying to work with local organizations that can provide vol- unteers as personal support workers to help residents with the cost. HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • Autism spectrum disorder is a life-long neurological disorder that affects the way a person communicates and relates to the people and world around them • ASD crosses all cultural, ethnic, geo- graphic and socioeconomic boundaries • The supports and services for adults on the spectrum are inadequate and fragmented, and fail to address needs across the entire lifespan. There is a societal cost to families withdrawing from workplace to act as caregivers, increasing responsibility as parents age and resources diminish. - Information from Autism Ontario Benjamin Priebe photo PICKERING -- Livia Tabnor cannot get special service from Durham Region Transit for her younger brother Gad, who is autistic.‘‘All I want is for him to have an independent lifestyle just like myself.’ Livia Tabnor, Pickering resident 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 • No v e m b e r 5 , 2 0 1 5 11 AP It can affect your sleep, your marriage and your job.

Even top sports star and entertainers… like Tiger Woods, Emmitt Smith, Tony Robbins, Tom Brady, Lance Armstrong, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson. These professional athletes have the money to hire any kind of doctors they want, yet they choose to have a chiropractor on their team. A recent scientific study showed chiropractic adjustments outperformed massage treatments in reducing pain. The study concluded that patients with chronic neck pain showed “clinically important improvements from a course of spinal manipulation… The current evidence does not support a similar level of benefit from massage.” – J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2007 In another study comparing acupuncture, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and spinal manipulation found… “After a median intervention period of 30 days, spinal manipulation was the only intervention that achieved statistically significant improvements.” - J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1999 In addition to that, here’s what some of the top medical researchers had to say … Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was “more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets, and ultrasound.” – Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery The 9 Most Dangerous Words A Person With Neck Pain Can Say The big myth about health problems is “maybe it will just go away on its own.” A 1998 study in the British Medical Journal proved this myth false, showing that most back pain sufferers who do nothing will have pain 12 months later.

Both are sub regions of the Aconcagua Wine Region and official cool climate viticultural areas. In addition to this, many wineries practise either sustained or organic viticulture, whereby they are either certified as organic, having ful- filled regulatory demands, or operating accord- ing to the dictates of the local ecosystem (sus- tained). The reason for the crisp, fresh Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir is the closeness of the two wine sub regions to the Pacific Ocean where the cool, Antarctic-driven Humboldt Cur- rent brings on conditions more similar to that of a cooler Mediterranean climate than their actual location (south latitude 30 degrees). This puts it much closer to the equator than other important vineyards in various parts of the world. The cool morning fog and frequent clouds that cover both valleys are boons to the production of crispy white and spicy red wines by allowing slower ripening of the grapes. Along with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir within both areas, Casablanca also cultures Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Viognier and Pinot Gris. Many a fine -- and affordable -- wine comes from these sub regions. The Vina Casablanca Nimbus Syrah (Vintages #399386, $16.75) from Vina Santa Carolina has cherry, chocolate, spicy raspberry and pepper flavours with a velvety smooth and somewhat creamy finish. The San Antonio Valley produces a delicious Pinot Noir from the Cono Sur Estate. The Cono Sur Single Vineyard Block No. 21 Viento Mar (Vintages #419010, $18.95) is full of ripe dark cherry flavours with some strawberry and a heap of smoke for good measure. Immedi- ately pleasing, it will age well for another couple of years, but why wait? For those who like a white Sauvignon Blanc, the Matetic Corralillo (Vintages #347740, $14.95) is outstanding value from a winery that was chosen as one of the top 100 wineries of the year by Wine and Spirits Magazine. This wine has great tropical flavours with some familiar herbal grass notes with citrus, mango, yellow/red pepper spice and a crisp/clean finish. Amazing value. Last week while browsing around the Taunton Road Whitby LCBO, I found some very affordable Chilean wine under the Adobe ‘Banner’ from the Emiliana Organic Vineyards located in the Casablanca Valley. The Adobe Riserva Sauvignon Blanc (LCBO #266049, $12.95) is affordable value that will please. The wine comes with herbal/gooseberry/apple/citrus lime fla- vours with a light to medium body and a crisp cleansing finish. The Adobe Riserva Merlot (LCBO #322024, $12.95) has vegetal, dark fruit, pepper spice and vanilla flavours with a medium plus body and a combined blackberry/cedar finish. Hint: if you get this wine, open and decant about two hours prior to serving at a temperature of 16 to 18 C. Excellent quality and reasonable prices make Chile something to consider for the upcoming holiday season. -- Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada.

(NC) The summer, filled with beach days and weekend getaways, has come and gone and while we’re well into the fall season, the bad habits we picked up and the good ones we lost along the way can make it hard to get back into a routine. “It’s easy to fall into relaxation-mode and give in to your guilty pleasures, as our day-to-day routines become a little more flexible” says Dr. Uche Odiatu, a dentist and overall wellness expert. “Letting your guard down can lead to poor oral health habits.” Fall marks the beginning of a new year for many with the return of early morning lunch making, stricter bedtimes and brushing twice a day. For some, transitioning into the ‘new’ routines can be a struggle. To get back on track, Dr. Odiatu suggests five easy tips for better oral health: 1. Switch from ice cubes to crushed ice. While it may be refreshing in the heat, chewing ice cubes can chip or crack a tooth, as well as irritate the soft tissues in the mouth. Ice chips are much smaller and easier to consume. 2. Drink water after having snacks. It takes time for saliva to neutralize the pH levels in the mouth after you eat, and during that time, tooth enamel can be weakened. Snack on food that doesn’t create an acidic environment, like unsalted nuts or cheese, and snack less often. 3. Limit the amount of soda you consume by switching to water and resist brushing immediately after drinking soft drinks as it could damage your teeth. Though it might be nice to quench your thirst with a chilled soft drink, the amount of sugar leads to tooth decay and softens the enamel. 4. Maintain regular checkups with your dental professional. 5. Invest in quality oral care tools. A power toothbrush using the latest technology like the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean improves gum health in only two weeks and gives you whiter, healthier teeth for life. Take it on the go when you travel with the USB charging travel case. www.newscanada.com Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE 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 • No v e m b e r 5 , 2 0 1 5 23 AP ComeVisitUsToday!

Destiny Wigs is well known for offering affordable and beautiful wigs. Owner Marlene Virdo has been wearing wigs for years, and wanted to create a space where women felt comfortable and able to look at wigs without any pressure. “Wig shopping can be emotional. I have had experiences in the past where my emotions would cause me to spend more than I was comfortable with,” says Marlene. “That’s why I opened Destiny Wigs. I wanted to offer people affordable options that will fit their budget, with no sales pressure. It should be a positive and fun experience and that’s what I’m trying to provide.” Here, you will find a variety of styles from top brands such as Henry Margu and TressAllure, with 40 different styles and 20 or more colours of each to choose from. Wigs are a fast, inexpensive way to change your look – without the commitment of a drastic cut or colour change. Here is a perfect way to mix things up for a party, a special event or just for a change. You are sure to find the right style and colour to give you that exciting new look! The wigs are very affordable, and to make them even easier to buy, Destiny Wigs offers layaway plans. Gift certificates are also available. Now, with more space available, Destiny Wigs is offering a variety of new products, including shampoo, conditioner and maintenance products for wigs; natural body wash; shampoos and conditioners for your own natural hair; and scarves and fashion jewellery to help you accessorize.

In support of Canadian veterans, ser- vicemen and women and their families, roughly 30 bands are playing over three days in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Toronto in aid of three charities: Wounded Warriors Canada, the Canadi- an Hero Fund and the Veterans’ Suicide Prevention Network. Bands For Brothers in Arms, a reg- istered, non-profit foundation, is the brainchild of Courtice’s Martin Bonnie. His band, Stone Soup, closes the musi- cal weekend on Nov. 8 at Simcoe Blues and Jazz in Oshawa. “Every day I read stories about our active military and veterans needing help,” he states. “We hope, by raising funds and bring- ing awareness to their situation, that we can help.” Bonnie notes that “some of our return- ing bands volunteered to run their own shows and expand the fundraisers across the GTA. So, we’ve expanded the events.” Tickets for the Toronto and Oshawa concerts are $10 and available online at www.bandsforbrothersinarms.org or by calling 905-448-0323. Admission to the Whitby, Ajax and Pickering venues is a donation at the door. DURHAM -- Ajax’s Whiskey Mojo plays Sgt. Pepper’s Bar and Grill in Ajax on November 7 at 10 p.m. It’s one of roughly 30 bands performing across Durham and in Toronto to raise funds for veterans, Canadian Forces personnel and their families.

Music by the Bay Live presents Steve Hill at 8 p.m. at the St. Francis Centre. Hill won the 2015 Juno Award for Blues Album Of The Year for his ‘Solo Recordings, Vol. 2’. “Why we don’t know more about this guy?” states a press release. “Unfortunately the blues are still very much off the radar but guys like Steve remind us how real and authentic music can be. He’s been recording and tour- ing for 20 years, including gigs with ZZ Top, BB King, Ray Charles and Jim- mie Vaughan to mention a few and has played at the most prestigious blues fes- tivals around the globe.” Hill plays guitar and sings -- “but also bass drum, hi-hat, shakers and whatever he can do with his feet and whatever he can attach to his guitar.” Advance tickets are $45, available at www.musicbythebaylive.com.

OSHAWA -- Actors, from left, Doug Craven of Ajax, Jazz Elektra Watson of Pickering and Matt Brankston of Oshawa rehearsed Picking Up Chekhov. The play is the first of the season for Durham Shoestring Performers and runs Nov. 13 to 21 at Oshawa’s Arts Resource Centre. Photo by Phil Ireland Season 42 for Durham Shoestring Performers starts next week Theatre group stages Picking Up Chekhov featuring Ajax, Pickering cast members OSHAWA -- A contemporary black com- edy begins its run in Oshawa on Nov. 13. Durham Shoestring Performers pres- ents Mansel Robinson’s Picking Up Chek- hov, the first of the three plays it is stag- ing this season. “No, it isn’t about that Russian Chek- hov, but yes it is,” states a press release. “Robinson’s Chekhov is a Canadian hitchhiker just trying to get home, but as with so many of Anton Chekhov’s characters, what happens when he gets there is not what he hoped for. He scores a ride with Stevie, a teenager, and her father, Sikorski. A visitation rights chal- lenge by her anxious mother, Mona, has led Stevie to convince her private inves- tigator dad that they need to run away. When they encounter the baffling Chek- hov and, later, a kid with a major grudge, everyone’s idea of right and wrong takes a bumpy ride. Mona, who was not along for the journey, summons up 32 witness- es to help her understand her daughter’s fate.” The play features Doug Craven of Ajax, Jazz Elektra Watson of Pickering, Matt Brankston of Oshawa, Jennie Archam- bault of Whitby and Katie Lunman of Oshawa. The 32 witnesses are created by Anna- Maria Maleshev, Natasha Noble and Wil- liam Wallace, all of Oshawa, Chris Fran- com and Debbie Melohe of Whitby and Jarek Landori-Hoffmann of Pickering. The press release notes “set designer Melanie Baker (Pickering) is developing an innovative set design that enhances the psychological terrain explored in the plot.” Picking Up Chekhov runs Nov. 13, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. at the Arts Resource Centre, 45 Queen St. (behind City Hall). It is suitable for audiences 13 years and older. Tickets are $15 per play and available by calling 905-725-9256 or e-mailing dsp@durhamshoestring.org . Tickets are available two weeks before a play opening at the United Way Informa- tion Services kiosk in the Oshawa Centre. A three-play season pass is $30.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Mission accomplished for Driftwood DURHAM -- The Bard’s Bus will be rolling to Durham communities next year thanks to a successful crowd-funding campaign. The Driftwood Theatre Group, founded by Oshawa native D. Jeremy Smith, had put out a call for help earlier this year after two long-time supporters withdrew support. It meant a loss of $25,000 and threatened the 2016 season. “As is often the case when faced with a challenge, Driftwood decided to press on (we’re stubborn that way),” states a press release. “Our board, staff and volunteers rallied and set a goal to replace that funding by the end of our fiscal year (Sept. 30). Plans were set in motion. Fiscal belts were tightened. Appeals were made. Throughout the summer, audience members contributed generously to a second collection held nightly during the run of the show. “By the end of the season, we were under $10,000 away from meeting our goal. Thanks to the very generous support of over 100 donors who contributed to one of the many Peer- to-Peer campaigns via the online giving portal, CHIMP, we have not only met but exceeded our goal.” Driftwood states it “can’t wait to show you what’s coming up next,” so stay tuned.

The 13-year-old Pickering actor received five nominations in three categories for The Joey Awards, which recognize achievement in acting by Canadian youth. Alex picked up a Joey last year recognizing his voiceover work for the character Zuma in the animated series ‘PAW Patrol’ He’s nominated in the category again, both for PAW Patrol and his new series, PJ Masks, in which Alex plays Romeo. He is also nominated as part of the ensemble cast of both shows. Alex’s fifth nomination is for Best Actor in a TV Commercial or PSA, Age 10-13, for Toys ‘R’ Us Canada. He’s retiring from his plum gig as chief play officer in December. The awards are presented on Nov. 14. 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 • No v e m b e r 5 , 2 0 1 5 29 PSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-215-0465 Jasper to play for Canada at world ringette tourney Team headed to Helsinki, Finland during Christmas holidays Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX — When Elyssa Jasper talks about her inclusion on Team Canada that will compete at the world ringette champi- onships in Helsinki, Finland over the Christmas holidays, there is a sense of calm in her voice. But come the day when she walks into the dressing room and sees that Canadi- an jersey with her name and number on it, hanging in a stall, all bets are off. Self- composure won’t be a priority. “I just don’t want to hyperventilate and cry,” she said with a laugh of envision- ing the moment. “I’m extremely ecstatic because making Team Canada was the highest expectation I had for myself. It’s an extreme privilege. “Making the team will allow me to achieve my personal best. It’s a sense of relief because I finally made it. I’m so excited to get on this journey and path with my teammates.” Jasper, 27, will be a member of the senior team that will compete overseas from Dec. 27 to Jan. 4. It’s a long way from those early days growing up in Ajax when, at the age of five, a childhood friend from down the street introduced her to the sport. A cousin also played, and the two met reg- ularly on the ice, with opposing teams. “It became an easy family affair because my cousin and I would play against each other because we played in different associations,” she recalled. “From there I just kept playing through my childhood and teenage years.” Making the national team has been a natural progression for the Ajax High School graduate. In 2004 and 2006 she was a member of the Central Region team that competed at the Ontario Win- ter Games, winning gold in her second attempt. In 2007, she made Team Ontar- io that won gold at the Canada Winter Games in Whitehorse, Northwest Terri- tories. Jasper’s career has taken her on inter- national travel before, as this will mark her third trip to Finland. As a member of the Ajax minor system, she played in a tournament there, winning gold while getting billeted by local families. As a member of the Richmond Hill Lightning, her team qualified for the world champi- onships in Finland, but returned home without a medal. An unsuccessful tryout with the nation- al team in the past has made her appreci- ate making the team even more this time. “My coach, Barb Bautista, couldn’t stop laughing at me because I’ve never screamed so loud in my life. I was so excited,” she said of getting the call in July with the good news following a cou- ple of tryouts. Since then, the team has had one ses- sion together in August, with another planned for November. This season she is in her third with the Cambridge Turbos. Last season she put up impressive offensive numbers, post- ing 25-58-83 point totals in 26 games played. During the world championships over the Christmas holidays, she will have to take time away from her fire technician job, but she won’t be doing it alone. Her parents will be on the plane as well to take in the games and offer their support. “I guess we’ll bring the Christmas spirit across to Finland,” she reasoned. AJAX -- Elyssa Jasper has been named to the Canadian senior team that will be competing at the world ringette cham- pionships in Finland during the Christmas holidays. Jason Liebregts / Metroland The chase is on PICKERING -- Pine Ridge Pumas’ Jared Augustin chased after Holy Trinity Titans’ Josh Metzner during their LOSSA junior boys’ foot- ball game at Pine Ridge Secondary School. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Hockey Jeremy Roenick promoting newest book with signing OSHAWA — Jeremy Roenick learned at a young age the importance of athletes interacting with fans, and it’s a lesson he has never forgotten. So, while the opportunity to do just that in Oshawa next week is in good part promotion for his new book, Shoot First, Pass Later, Roenick says he loves any opportunity to meet fans of the game he and so many others love. The fourth-highest American-born scorer in NHL history will be at the Oshawa Chapters on Thursday, Nov. 12 beginning at 7 p.m. to meet fans and sign copies of the book, a followup to the best-selling J.R.: My Life as the Most Outspoken, Fearless, and Hard-Hitting Man in Hockey. Upon his retirement from the NHL in 2009, after a career that produced 513 goals and 1,216 points in 1,363 games with Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Jose, Roenick recalled a story of being snowed by hockey leg- end Gordie Howe while attending a Hart- ford Whalers game at age seven. Roenick’s book tour will bring him to the Toronto area next week, and later to Chicago, Calgary, New York and likely Philadelphia before January. 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 • No v e m b e r 5 , 2 0 1 5 30 AP Just intime fortheHOLIDAYS!

Jason Liebregts / Metroland Winning streak puts Durham West Jr. Lightning into first DURHAM — A six-game winning streak has vaulted the Durham West Jr. Lightning to the top of the standings. The Provincial Women’s Hockey League team has a league best 9-1-1-0 record, tied for first place with Stoney Creek, who share the same record in the 20-team league. In their most recent outings, the Lightning needed overtime to win 2-1 in Brampton on Saturday, Oct. 31, and then blanked Etobi- coke 3-0 on home ice at the Ajax Community Centre on Tuesday, Nov. 3. In Brampton, the Lightning were down 1-0 in the second period before Maria Domini- co clicked on the power play to tie the game. The winning goal came on a Natalie Wozney penalty shot in overtime of a game in which the Lightning held a 32-12 edge in shots on goal. Tera Hofmann recorded her second shut- out of the season in the victory over Etobi- coke. She faced 14 shots, while the Lightning doubled that with 28 the other way. On the season, Hofmann has a sparkling 1.17 goals against average and a .926 save percentage. The Lightning got a pair of goals from Tay- lor Hicks, who opened the scoring in the first period and closed it in the third with an emp- ty-net marker. Wozney had one sandwiched in between, coming in the second period on the power play. The goal upped Wozney’s point totals on the season to 9-3-12, which has her tied for fourth in the league scoring race. Right behind is Dominico with 11 points on eight goals and three assists, while Hicks (6-4) and Lisa Bruno (1-9) are just one back with 10 points each. This week will have the Lightning play- ing three times in four days, beginning with a visit to Aurora on Saturday, Nov. 7. They will host the next two, Sunday, Nov. 8 against Ottawa at 2:40 p.m., and Tuesday, Nov. 10 against Kingston at 8:10 p.m. NATALIE WOZNEY 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 • No v e m b e r 5 , 2 0 1 5 31 P AUTO SERVICE SPECIAL brock road and 401 PIckerIng SerVIce cenTer HoUrS Mon.-FrI. 7:30aM-8:00PM Sat. 7:30-6:00 • Sun.9:00-6:00 905-686-2309Avoid the Rush Call for an appointment WINTER TIRE CHANGEOVER • Check and adjust tire pressure • Measure tread depth • Check overall condition WITH EVERY TIRE CHANGEOVER * . $3499 *Per set of 4 mounted tires unmounted set $98.00 FREEREG. $49.99 FREE BONUS ALIGNMENT CHECK St. Monica wins Catholic Cup volleyball tournament Senior girls exact some revenge on St. Pius X in final OAKVILLE — The St. Monica senior girls’ volleyball team from Pickering trav- elled to Oakville to compete in the yearly Girls Ontario Catholic Cup for elementary schools. The St. Monica Eagles’ first match was at 5 p.m. By the last match at 8 p.m., the Eagles had a perfect 6-0 record in the round-robin portion of the tournament. Saturday morning was the elimination round against other winners from pool play. The Eagles continued on their winning ways to advance from this round with a record of 5-1. Next was the semifinals versus Sacred Heart school from Burlington. This match went to three games with both teams pass- ing, setting and spiking and exhibiting great volleyball skills. The St. Monica girls dug deep and took the match 25–23, 19-25 and 15–9. In the finals, the team faced St. Pius X, who eliminated the Eagles from the semi- finals of the tournament last year. Playing their best volleyball of the tournament, the St. Monica Eagles won the championship in two straight sets by the scores of 25–16 and 25–12. This is the second straight tournament win for the girls this season, and only the sec- ond time a team from Durham has won the Catholic Cup in the 15 years of its existence. Atom AA team is two for two, adding Motown Cup to collection DETROIT, MICHIGAN — The Pickering Panthers atom AA team has gone two- for-two in tournament play this season, securing a second gold medal, this one at the Motown Cup in Detroit, Michigan. The Panthers arrived in Detroit with high expectations for the tournament, but faced some tough competition on their way to the finals. The team emerged from round-robin play with its only loss coming against the Toronto Eagles, and it was only fitting that the Eagles and Pan- thers met in the final. The Panthers played a hard-fought final game, which ultimately ended in a 1-1 tie. Five minutes of four-on-four over- time didn’t deliver a winner, and it was on to a shootout, where the Panthers’ firepower was on display. Three Panthers shooters hit the back of the net in the shootout, while their goalie shut out the Eagles. With that, the Panthers brought home gold for the second time this sea- son. The Pickering Panthers team mem- bers are: Ethan Minogue, Ashton Smith, Mitchell Drummond, Carter Long, Dan- iel Crimi, Ryleigh Horlock, Jacob York, Jaden Carducci, Nico Groza, Declan You- nis, Nicole York, Ethan Joseph, Brandon Morsillo, Blake Heselden, Justice Smith, Cali Tierney and Hunter Casey.

In loving memory of Norma Leathen It has been one year, but you have not been forgotten. Love Chris, Dave and Mary BAIRD, Carolyn - It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Carolyn Baird (nee Glenney) on Wednesday October 21, 2015, after a 21 year battle with Huntington's at the age of 71. Always with style and grace. Beloved mother of Shawn and his wife Laura, and Heather and her husband Les James. Loving grandmother to Chris and Graham Baird and Will James. Dear sister of Ward Glenney and his wife Lois, Dean Glenney and his wife Vonita, and Bob Glenney and his wife Becky. Carolyn was an effusively gracious lady with many hobbies and talents. She was a long time employee of CIBC and was always singing her heart out in many different choirs. Carolyn was also a beautiful seamstress and Master Gardener who loved to entertain. She touched so many lives and will be truly missed. Your long battle and journey has ended and you can now be at peace. Thank you to Sunnycrest Nursing Home 2nd Floor and all the caring staff that looked after her. Join us for a Concert and Celebration of Carolyn's Life at St. Paul's United Church, 65 King's Crescent, Ajax on Saturday November 21st, 2015 at 2 pm. Any donations can be made to the Huntington Society of Canada, 151 Frederick St. # 400, Kitchener, Ontario N2H 2M2 or by phone at 1-800-998-7398 IRVING, Robert (Bob) - Surrounded by his family, it is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of Bob in the early morning of October 30, 2015. Loving husband and best friend to wife Debbi, proud father to his "baby girl" Kaitlyn. He will be missed greatly by his brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, friends and his dogs. Bob was a genuine and strong man who fought hard until the end. He will be remembered with much love for his thoughtlessness, kindness, his willingness to help, big heart and wonderful sense of humor. He loved antique cars and car shows, National Geographic, mini putt, mystery movies, to name a few but most of all, his Family. Bob was cremated and the family will hold a private remembrance gathering, as he wished. There will be a celebration of his life and interment of his ashes at a later time in Spring when the beauty of life is always and forever re-emerging. Thank you to all of those who provided special care for Bob. In his name, if you wish, donations may be made to Ajax-Pickering Hospital, Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation or the Canadian Lung Association. Love you forever Bob & Daddy and you will always be remembered. xoxo Please remember to sign your donor card.
