Farm Boy, Metro, Loblaws, Sobeys and Walmart are among the retailers chosen to sell beer, some of them as early as next month, the province announced Wednes- day. The move to expand beer sales to grocery markets -- as many as 60 could begin sales in December, and eventually up to 450 will be authorized for sales -- marks the biggest change to alcohol marketing regulations in 90 years, the province said. Retailers are prohibited from comment- ing until sales begin next month. Shoppers polled Wednesday said the move will be convenient for consumers, and expressed few fears greater availability of beer will have negative connotations. “I’ll probably take advantage of it,” Kim Lyons said as she entered the Farm Boy outlet on Taunton Road in Whitby at lunch time. “I won’t do it every time, but it’s one less stop.” Ms. Lyons said Ontario can follow the example of Quebec, where beer and wine have been widely available in retail outlets for years. “I don’t drink, so personally it doesn’t affect me,” said Tom Hopwood as he load- ed bags of groceries purchased at Farm Boy into his vehicle. “And I think the laws are strict enough so that the kids won’t get into it,” Mr. Hopwood said. “That would be my main concern.” Emerging from a nearby Metro store, Mike L. -- he asked that his last name not be used, citing his job -- said enhanced convenience for shoppers might have a negative impact on workers in Beer Store and LCBO outlets. “It will be a lot more convenient, especial- ly if you’re hosting a party or whatnot,” he said. “But it’s like the privatization of any- thing. It’ll be more convenient for us, but it’s going to affect other people. Metro shopper John Bowes said it’s time the province addressed its “antiquated” liquor laws. “It’s long overdue,” he said. Retailers selected through the bidding process must still apply to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to obtain authorization for sales in individual store locations.

Durham police kick off annual Festive RIDE campaign Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com NEWCASTLE -- Durham police have launched their Festive RIDE program for 2015, pledging once again to catch drunk drivers and ensure the safety of resi- dents during the holiday season. Cops, including members of the RIDE team that will be out each night staffing check points, were joined Tuesday, Nov. 17 at the fire hall in Newcastle by fellow emergency workers, transit representatives and members of Mothers Against Drunk Driving to officially get the initiative started. “This is a critical community safety initiative here in Durham Region,” said Superintendent Joe Maio- rano. The numbers racked up during the annual effort are an indication of the service’s dedication to bat- tling drunk driving, Supt. Maiorano said. Over the past five years officers working the Festive RIDE campaign have charged 630 motorists with drunk driving and have amassed a 90 per cent conviction rate. “We have earned a reputation as having one of the best Fes- tive RIDE teams in the province,” Supt. Maiorano said. “Our officers know where to be on what days and at which loca- tions.” Also in attendance for the Nov. 17 launch was Michelle Crabb, whose 20-year-old brother Taylor was killed while riding with a friend who was impaired eight years ago. Ms. Crabb, now 31, said she was supported in the aftermath of the tragedy by MADD, and is now an ardent campaigner on behalf of the organization. The Ajax native -- she’s a past president of MADD’s Dur- ham chapter -- speaks to high school students, hoping her very personal story will have an impact on them. “For me it’s trying just to make sure (Taylor’s) voice doesn’t go unheard,” Ms. Crabb said. “If I can prevent one of them from making a bad choice, he didn’t die in vain.” When she stepped up to the podium Tuesday, Ms. Crabb had a simple message for motorists: “You have a choice to make a difference,” she said. “It’s a senseless crime and it is 100 per cent preventable.” So far this year Durham police have laid 588 impaired driv- ing charges, compared to 624 during the same period in 2014. Members of the Festive RIDE program will be out each night throughout the holiday season and into the new year. 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 1 9 , 2 0 1 5 4 AP Toll free:1-877-720-4837 Call Now416-800-4411Call Now416-800-4411 Proud member of Ajax Board of Trade Web:www.goHomeSaving.com Buy a select system and get0%APR with EquAl PAymEnts foRmonths24 oR ChoosE A tRAdE-in AllowAnCE of $1,000** On Furnace and A/C Systems.

FA LLSALES HARVES TTHE New rules on public stops or carding welcomed by Durham police chief Paul Martin says he ‘supports the intent’ of new Provincial legislation on carding Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- New rules regarding the ways in which officers interact with the public -- including street checks during which personal information is gathered -- are being welcomed by Durham’s top cop. Chief Paul Martin said new legislation address- ing concerns about random citizen stops -- common- ly referred to as carding -- are appropriate, and could help boost public confidence in law enforcement. “We support the intent of what the legislation is try- ing to accomplish. We all agree that we don’t want our officers going out and stopping people based on bias,” the chief said during an interview. “I think that’s com- mon ground everyone can agree on.” Ontario Community Safety Minister Yasir Naqvi recent- ly announced the revisions, which come in response to widespread criticism of random stops as dispropor- tionately targeting non-white citizens. The framework provided by the province so far indi- cates that random stops of citizens will be banned out- right, and that officers will be bound by new regula- tions during investigative exchanges; cops will have to provide a reason for stops and inform people their co-operation is voluntary. Officers will also provide a record of the exchange along with information on how to register a complaint or obtain access to the informa- tion gathered. Chief Martin said he’s awaiting the results of a con- sultative process during which the Province is accept- ing input from police and the public. He’s hopeful that exercise will provide insight on matters such as the wording of the cautions officers must provide, and documentation that results from exchanges. “There’s no real guidance right now to say what this should look like,” the chief said. “That is a concern to me because you don’t want 53 different police depart- ments doing it 53 different ways across the province. I think it would be better if the Province is legislating it and saying, here’s the legislation, here’s a template we suggest you follow.” Police in Durham eschew the term carding -- the ser- vice labels interactions with the public “street checks”. Chief Martin said those street checks encompass a variety of transactions including traffic stops, investi- gations into suspects wanted on warrants, and com- pliance checks for people on judicial releases includ- ing bail. Instances in which cops stop people walking down the street are relatively few, and must have a valid investigative basis, he said. “We do about 16,000 (street checks) a year but less than 10 per cent of that is actually stopping someone on the street -- talking to them on the street,” he said. “Plus, we have far more interactions with people than that -- we have over 80,000 calls for service a year.” The new regulations, combined with ongoing train- ing on non-biased policing practices, could well rein- force the public’s confidence that they’re being treated fairly by police, said Chief Martin. “We don’t want people stopped based on bias, based on the colour of their skin or anything else,” he said. “We want to make sure that we’re doing good police practices, and that maintains the legitimacy of the police in the eyes of the public.” Metroland file photo DURHAM -- Durham Regional Police Chief Paul Martin says new rules regarding random street checks to gath- er personal information is appropriate and could boost public confidence in law enforcement. 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 1 9 , 2 0 1 5 5 AP Receive 1 ballot entry for every25 Rapid Rewards Players Clubslot points earned November 22–December 10•Every Sunday–Thursday Must be 19 years of age or older.

OSHAWA — In an effort to encourage potential students over the age of 19 to con- sider Durham College as a post-secondary destination, the college is offering monthly mature student information sessions at the Oshawa campus. “Statistics from Colleges Ontario show that 65 per cent of applicants to college are not applying directly from high school,” said Devon Turcotte, student recruitment spe- cialist at the college. “Mature students aren’t fish out of water, they’re in good company, and these sessions are a great way for them to see that while at the same time finding out about all the services we offer to help all of our students succeed.” The series of information sessions, which kicked off in September and continues on Wednesday, Nov. 18, will be held each month through April 2016 and provide mature students who are thinking about enrolling with important and helpful guide- lines to help them succeed in a college set- ting. In addition to campus tours, potential students will receive tips and information focusing on a variety of topics including admission procedures, academic upgrad- ing and career planning resources. They can also learn more information about the financial aid and awards office and the aca- demic support available through Student Academic Learning Services. Future sessions will be held on Wednes- day, December 9 and in 2016 on January 20, February 17, March 9 and April 27.

Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 column Magical thinking is a positive symptom of mental health conditions I was told to try to make some sense out of mental health conditions that may in part be spiritual connections. The DSM-V (the fifth version of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual for mak- ing sense out of mental health condi- tions) talks about everything to do with mental health concerns. Otherwise, holistic medical practices give men- tal health conditions a different type of diagnosis. Magical thinking is a real diagnosis. People with “harnessed” schizophrenia who are stable with the condition can be defined as having magical thinking. Prescience or seeing into the future or figuring out themes to their days. The world is magical when you start think- ing about what we all actually are really doing here. Noticing the whimsy at a playground or parking a little further away from the bank to enjoy the extra 50 feet. Throw- ing a wrench into your everyday so that you might enjoy it a little more. Magical thinking has many defini- tions. One is that “thinking” or “perceiv- ing” something will make it occur in the “real” world. A tiny, funny example is wondering if ground beef or a certain kind of cereal will be cheaper at the grocery store and finding out that it is. I can describe magical thinking as “putting it out to the universe”. If you don’t get greedy, asking the uni- verse for something and perceiving it to be usually happens. You may not win the lottery or achieve world peace but you may wish and pray for a decent time at work or have safe travels while on a mystical vacation. The world often provides small mir- acles for those who ask for the proper things. This is magical thinking, a good posi- tive symptom of mental health condi- tions. Put it out there! Do a rain dance for your garden of tomatoes. Ask the universe for something spe- cial. Let’s see the miracle of life work every day in an awesome way. I often pray for medical advance- ments. Why not? If everyone truly prayed en masse for a real reason every single day, we may just design a heaven. Cheers. -- Brandon Hahn is a Cobourg resident with schizophrenia who writes a column on fighting the stigma around mental illness Brandon Hahn Guest column Christmas came early for Durham Region Transit when Transportation Min- ister Steven Del Duca visited the area last week with an $8.3 million present. Ontario generates about $2.4 billion a year from its 14.7 cents-a-litre tax on gas- oline, and gives two-cents-a-litre to cities and towns to expand public transit. This year $332.9 million in gas tax revenue will be distributed among 95 public transit sys- tems across Ontario. Durham’s share is $8.3 million. That represents about 10 per cent of the DRT’s annual budget. “Every year, it’s something we come to depend on. It allows us to maintain our modern fleet of buses, keep them clean,” Vincent Patterson, the general manager of Durham Region Transit said. The Province began giving tax gas money to municipalities in 2004. Since then, about $3.4 billion has been handed over to municipalities to run public transit. The need for this type of funding never ceases as ridership, not only with DRT, but all transit systems across the province increases. In 2014, there was an increase of more than 217 million trips on Ontario munici- pal transit systems, compared to 2003 — equivalent to removing approximately 181 million car trips on roads. According to the Province one bus takes up to 40 vehicles off the road, and keeps 25 tonnes of green- house gas emissions out of the atmosphere each year. “In the time period we’ve been providing the gas tax, ridership has literally explod- ed,” said Minister Del Duca. Mr. Patterson said the provincial tran- sit money will help “grow our system” and that should come as welcome news for frequent DRT riders, especially those in North Durham who have limited service compared to riders living in the more pop- ulated southern cities of Durham Region. The goal of this funding is to expand and improve services. That’s why provincially this year $11.4 million more was given to municipalities than was handed out last year. We would argue that number is not going to decrease any time soon. In fact transit funding should be increased across the board if the Province is to get a han- dle on the congestion problems plaguing municipalities such as Durham, Toronto and Peel Region. The more buses on the roads in Dur- ham the better it will be for all involved. DRT has come a long way since its creation but there’s always more that can be done, improvements that can be made, routes that can be changed or added to make the system the best it can be. And none of that can be accomplished without cold hard cash. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Agree? Disagree?

Byelection for Pickering City Council seat set for Jan. 25 PICKERING -- Council has called a bye- lection for Jan. 25 to fill the Ward 1 City Council position. Nominations open on Wednesday, Nov. 18 and close on Dec. 11. Dates and locations of advanced polls are yet to be determined. Former councillor Jennifer O’Connell was elected as Pickering-Uxbridge MP in the October federal election and left the seat vacant. “I’m aware of a number of potential candidates,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. “I’m very impressed with the field. There’s a wealth of experience and there’s no ques- tion of the dedication to this communi- ty.” The only councillor to vote against holding the byelection was Ward 3 City Councillor Rick Johnson. He felt an appointment would save taxpayer dollars and he expects voter turnout to be low. Ward 3 Regional Councillor David Pick- les said he knows of at least three people running so far. “I expect based on the people I’ve heard from, we’re going to have some very fine candidates,” he said.

She and the male suspect, who was brandishing a screwdriver, eventu- ally fled the residence. The victim sustained minor injuries.

They’re timid around humans, but they’ll come out of hiding when volunteer caretakers come to feed them. Shelters insulated with straw, pillows and a tarp covering the area make up their home, located off the beaten path. “It’s not great, but it gives them a fighting chance,” says Pickering resident Ruth Sutton. A director on the board of rescue group Action Volunteers for Animals, Ms. Sutton is trying to trap the kitten and the two remaining unaltered adults in order to get them sterilized and vaccinated. “When they’re well enough, you take them back to their colony to release them,” says Ms. Sutton. This colony had 30 cats in the past, but a trap, neuter, return program has kept the numbers down. Increasing in popularity, TNR controls the cat over-population in a humane man- ner by working to end the breeding cycle. AVA wants Durham municipalities to get on board. “We have feral cats living in every commu- nity,” AVA president Denise Harkins says. She spoke at the latest Pickering executive committee meeting, and told council mem- bers AVA funds a lot of the TNR work in the municipality. “We’re looking for some supports from the (City) to recognize TNR, to allow free roaming cats, and perhaps a program and some small funding,” she says. Toronto and Kingston are two munici- palities involved in the program in an effort to improve the quality of life for feral cats in colonies, reduce the number of feral cats euthanized in shelters, and eventually reduce or eliminate the colonies through attrition. “Every cat mating results in a litter,” says Ms. Sutton, adding one pair of breeding cats can eventually lead to 420,000. TNR is handled by people trained in the area, such as Ms. Sutton, who’s officially been involved in TNR for 10 years. Once AVA identifies the beginning of a colony, volunteers do an inventory and overall health assessment. Ear-tipped cats signify that they have been altered. If it’s on private property, volunteers must get per- mission to trap. Once the cats are trapped, they’re taken to get spayed or neutered and receive vaccinations before being returned. Caretakers also feed and clean the colo- nies to ensure they’re eating and they’re healthy. “If they hurt themselves you have to see that,” says Ms. Sutton. Although the problem is not huge in Pickering, it does exist, and it should be addressed before it gets out of hand, says Ms. Sutton. Public education on ferals and a place to house cats during the transition period are some of the requests. Lindsey Narraway, supervisor of Pickering Animal Services, isn’t a stranger to TNR. She’s attended TNR workshops, and ani- mal services will take in feral kittens and adopt them out, which is possible when they’re young. She says euthanasia is not a real issue in Pickering. In 2014, Pickering Animal Ser- vices euthanized 36 cats and dogs of the 266 that were brought in. Twenty were trans- ferred and the rest were adopted. She is open to TNR but needs to know there’s a need for a program in Pickering. “In principal, TNR programs have prov- en to be successful,” she says. “We haven’t received a lot of complaints from residents about feral cat colonies and about stray ani- mals.“ She recognizes people may not want to call animal services for fear they’ll eutha- nize, and many colonies are in areas not fre- quented by residents. Ms. Sutton says AVA gets calls about feral cats in Pickering, and she feels many people don’t know the difference between outdoor pets, stray cats and ferals. Ms. Sutton says it’s difficult to put a num- ber on the feral cats without a program to track them. “Could we say a thousand? Probably, yes,” she says, adding there are 10 colonies that she knows of in Pickering. Ms. Narraway has asked AVA to supply some numbers so she can prepare a report before the new year on whether to support a program. “If it does look like there’s a feral cat issue in Pickering then we will be open to work- ing with them,” she says. To help feral cats in Durham, call AVA at 905-438-1392. HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • Feral cats are not owned and are not sufficiently socialized to humans to be candidates for adoption. • They’re the end result of owned pets that were not spayed or neutered, and then escaped or were allowed to roam. • The growth in the number and size of feral colonies is due to unrestrained reproduction, which produces litters of kittens for which homes cannot be found, and that can’t be accommo- dated in already overcrowded animal shelters. • The spaying or neutering of feral cats can reduce the actual number of kittens and cats living in gardens and on streets. • Stray cats were previously owned and have sufficient potential for re-socializa- tion, and suitable candidates for adop- tion. They are pets that got lost or were abandoned by their owners. • If a cat approaches you, it is likely a stray or a pet, not feral. - Information from Toronto Feral Cat Project Volunteers work to keep feral cat population down in Pickering Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland PICKERING -- Ruth Sutton, director of the Action Volunteers for Animals, is involved in trapping, neutering and releasing feral cats in Pickering.

Pickering students launch Greenbelt youth charter Students ask for their voices to be heard when Province makes decision on Greenbelt future Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Students are asking Ontario to ensure the Greenbelt is preserved, protected and expanded for future generations to enjoy. High school students from across Durham, Peel, York and Toronto recently created the Ontario Greenbelt Youth Charter for consid- eration by Premier Kathleen Wynne and for- mer Toronto mayor David Crombie, chair- man of an advisory panel that is preparing a report for the Ontario government about the future of the Greenbelt. “This was an attempt to shift the discussion toward being and doing rather than just talk- ing, and from an education standpoint, that really is best,” said Dunbarton High School science and co-operative education teacher David Gordon, who was involved in the cre- ation of the charter. Young people were not consulted by the Province’s expert advisory panel when it con- ducted public hearings on the topic earlier this year. “We are future voters whose voices are missing from the 2015 Coordinated Review and we have to answer to the consequences of decisions being made today,” the charter states. Dunbarton was named the 2015 Greenest School on Earth by the Global Coalition for Green Schools and the U.S. Green Building Council this past spring. “The idea that young people can have a well-thought-out say in social decisions is something we don’t facili- tate very often,” MR. Gordon said, adding this should become more routine. Andrew Fryer, Edward Hewitt and Kristal Ramnarine from Dunbarton launched the charter as part of a student-led Greenbelt community forum at their school. “It matters a lot to me and I’ve enjoyed it a lot,” said Andrew. Before the students penned the charter, they went on a two-day bus tour to different areas within the Greenbelt. Andrew lives close to the Rouge Valley, but wasn’t aware of how vast the Greenbelt is. “It’s a lot more diverse than it first comes across,” he said. EcoSpark, which provides communities and schools with knowledge and tools to monitor their environment and take action for positive environmental change, orga- nized the charter as a platform for concerned youth. “Why they want the Greenbelt to be pre- served, protected and expanded must be taken into account along with the interests of other stakeholders,” said EcoSpark executive director Joyce Chau.

Durham police teamed up with OPP officers to apprehend the suspect, who set off a pursuit when he failed to stop for cops on Hwy. 401. There was no report of injuries. The incident began at about 1:40 a.m. Nov. 17 when OPP attempted to stop a vehicle that was being driven erratical- ly on Hwy. 401 near Whites Road, police said. The suspect vehicle sped away with the cop following, and exited at Brock Road. A cruiser was struck as the suspect attempted to flee and officers made the decision to suspend the chase out of concerns for public safety. Information about the suspect vehicle was relayed to Durham police, who were able to stop the car a short time later. Lovan Wheatley, 53, of Ajax, faces charges including impaired driving, dangerous driving, flight from police and driving while disqualified.

PICKERING -- Police have released an image of a person of interest in two recent incidents in which women were followed home by a stranger in Pickering recently. The incidents occurred in August and September of this year, Durham police said. The victims reported being followed by a man who attempted to engage them in conversation. One woman was twice followed to her building, in the Liverpool Road and Pickering Parkway area, first in August and then again on Sept. 17. On Sept. 16, a woman was sexually assaulted by a man who followed her home in the vicinity of Glenanna and Liverpool roads. Investigators released a surveillance camera image of a person of interest Nov. 18. The suspect is a black man in his 20s with a medium build. He has dark hair and wore a ball cap, a dark sweater and jeans. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2548 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477.

The suspect, a black man in his early 20s, walked into the Dollarama store on Wentworth Street at about 8:30 p.m. Nov. 17 with a cloth over his face and demanded cash. However he quickly lost his resolve and fled after a worker hol- lered at him, Durham police said. No one was injured during the inci- dent.

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.

Bodegas Montecillo was founded in 1874 and acquired by Osborne in 1973 and has remained a signature winery in/of Rioja. I recently met with Rocio Osborne, brand ambassador for Bodegas Montecillo, to discuss and taste some of her family’s wine. Ms. Osborne is young, very knowledgeable and most importantly, highly enthusiastic about wine. She has degrees in finance, marketing and law, but had to earn her position since “There are some 300 members in our family and I had to compete like anyone else.” She represents a fast-growing group of female professionals that is making a strong and innova- tive statement about/for wine in all of the globe’s wine regions. For its signature wine, Bodegas Montecillo focuses on indigenous grape varieties such as Tempranillo, an early ripening grape that produc- es elegant, balanced and long-lived red wine, and Viura, which makes fruity wine with great char- acter. International varieties grown in Osborne Estate vineyards are used with Osborne wine. Rocio and I went on to taste several of Osborne and Bodegas Montecillo wine selections. The Solaz (LCBO #610188, $11.45) comes from Malipica de Tajo in Tierra de Castilla. It is a 50 per cent blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Tem- pranillo grown in a sun-drenched, mountain- protected micro-climate near the Tajo River. The wine has mainly red fruit flavours with a touch of dark (plum). Vanilla and forward tannin make this wine ‘easy’ on its own but super with grilled food. From the same area as above comes Seven (with its unique label featuring seven incarnations of the Osborne Bull.) The wine is a blend of Mer- lot and Cabernet Sauvignon with forward fla- vours of red cherries, vanilla, spices, mocha and chocolate. The wine is easy on the palate and can be enjoyed on its own or with pasta, mixed grill or tapas. While not available on regular shelves until possibly next year, one can order Seven by contacting the Private Order Department of the LCBO. The Bodegas Montecillo Crianza (LCBO #144493: $14.95 on sale until Nov. 29 for $11.95) is 100 per cent Tempranillo with mainly cherry flavours but some strawberry/raspberry nuances. Vanilla, light choc- olate and pepper spice round out the flavours with a dry finish -- a lovely food wine for roast turkey, beef, lamb, pasta. The Bodegas Montecillo Reserva (LCBO #621003, $18.95) is once again 100 per cent Tempranillo, but it goes through a longer vinification period. There are notes of plum, black cherry, licorices, mint and nuanc- es of dark chocolate followed by a prolonged finish. The wine would be a nice complement to game, red meat, spicy dishes and pasta. It ages well. I have some dating to the early ‘80s in my cellar. Rioja is one of the foremost wine regions in the world with both Atlantic and Mediterranean influences. Bode- gas Montecillo exhibits the excellence of this area. -- Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with more than 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada.

The fair took place from Nov. 6-15 in Toronto. Mr. Hawey said it was an honour to participate. “The focus of these competi- tions is on showcasing the ingre- dients and using local produce whenever possible, which is closely aligned to the CFF’s own field-to-fork philosophy,” he said. Culinary students appeared on stage as part of a partnership with the Ontario Apple Growers. With guidance from Mr. Hawey, they developed one sweet and one savoury apple-based appe- tizer and demonstrated how to prepare them in front of an audi- ence. “It was really exciting to share these recipes with fair goers,” said Kristin Atwood, a student in the college’s culinary program. “It was both challenging and fun to take the skills we were taught in class and use them to develop the dishes.” Keller Williams Energy kicks off annual turkey drive campaign OSHAWA — Keller Williams Energy is living by its slogan “Give Where you Live,” hosting its eighth annual turkey drive campaign Dec. 12. The real estate brokerage just launched the 2015 campaign, one it describes as being one of the “biggest organized events in the real estate industry.” The turkey drive began eight years ago, providing 50 families with a full turkey dinner. The goal for Christmas 2015 is to sup- port 1,800 families by providing 7,200 meals, including a turkey and all of the trimmings. “This event is an entrenched part of Keller Williams Energy culture and displays the extraor- dinary effect a company can have when individuals come together to work as a team for the greater good of everyone. We can’t tell you what an impact it has made on each of us to be able to give back to community we know and love,” said turkey drive committee chair Julita Jaworski. The turkey drive will be held at the Oshawa Community Health Centre, 115 Grassmere Ave., Oshawa, on Dec. 12 from noon to 3 p.m. Volunteers will provide tickets to local churches, shelters, schools and charities to give to their members with the greatest need. Families or organizations will be asked to take their tickets to the turkey drive loca- tion and volunteers will greet them and pro- vide them with a full turkey dinner and all its trimmings.

The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School arts department presents The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Fran- kenstein Nov. 25 to 28. The cast members are Grade 10 to 12 musical theatre students, includ- ing: Matthew Richard as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein; Julianna Paul as Inga; Justin Rajballie as Igor; Kristina Pompi- lii as Elizabeth; Holly Branigan as Frau; Matthew Rossi as Inspector Kemp; Noah Tremblay as Dr. Victor von Fran- kenstein; Matthew Reel as Ziggy; Ari- ane Monastrial as the Hermit; and, Christopher Murillo as the Monster. “The full cast and crew of 60-plus works enthusiastically to bring to life Brooks’s vision of parodying the hor- ror and glitz and glam revue genre of musical theatre,” states a press release. “With show stoppers such as The Brain and Puttin’ on the Ritz, the show is sure to leave you wondering how bringing dead tissue back to life could produce such comedic consequences.” Advanced tickets/reserved seats are on sale during school lunches (11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.) at the school, 1918 Whites Rd., every week day in Novem- ber. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door at each perfor- mance. They are $7 for adults, $5 for children.

The gallery has a long association with African sculptor Passmore Mashaya, who is pro- viding some of his work for the event and showing other pieces. “The artists provide originals for sale at $150 and under, a price far below the norm so that everyone can afford to own an original piece of art,” explains gallery owner Esther Forde. She adds the event features more than 100 original art pieces in different styles and media. The show opens with a reception on Nov. 22 from 2 to 5 p.m. and runs to Dec. 19.

The study was conducted in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)planning process,with the Notice of Completion issued on September 28,2012. Proposed Project Modification Plans for subdivision development within West Whitby are now progressing.In order to better accommodate those plans,a revised alignment has been identified for a segment of sanitary sewer.The revised alignment is within an unopened road right-of-way south of Dundas Street that traverses a wetland.Potential impacts to the wetland can be avoided by tunneling the sewer deep below the surface. Construction of the tunnel will be undertaken by installing shafts from the surface,and these shafts will be located outside of the wetland area to mitigate impact. Addendum Under the Class EA process,if any significant modifications are proposed to a project after the Class EA study has been completed,then interested parties must have an opportunity to review and comment on those proposed modifications.As such,the Region has prepared an Addendum that describes the circumstances necessitating the revised sewer alignment,the environmental implications of the change,and the proposed measures to mitigate any environmental impact. The Addendum is available for review on the Region’s website at www.durham.ca/cdeap and Region of Durham Legislative Services.Interested parties should provide written comments and/or requests for additional information to Aaron Christie,Project Manager,at aaron.christie@durham.ca or the address indicated below by Dec.21,2015. If concerns arise regarding the proposed modification to the project that cannot be resolved through discussions with the Region of Durham,a person/ party may request that the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a “Part II Order”).The request must be received by the Minister by Dec.21,2015,with a copy sent to the Regional Clerk and the Region’s Project Manager at the addresses indicated below.If there are no Part II Order requests received by this date,the Region of Durham may proceed with design and construction of the revised project.

Antony Di Nardo poetry reading in Pickering Nov. 21 PICKERING -- A poet wants to share his love of words. Antony Di Nardo is reading on Nov. 21 at the Whitevale Arts and Culture Centre in Pickering. The poet and teacher divides his time between Beirut and central Canada, states a press release, and has released three collections of poems, including this year’s Roaming Charges. “I discovered the appeal of poetry and its signifi- cance to me in my adolescence,” Di Nardo states in the release. “It wasn’t a gifted teacher or some outstanding English class that did it for me, but the serendip- itous discovery of books by EE Cummings, Leon- ard Cohen and the Beats. Why do I write? Because I want to. Because I need to, Because conscious- ness compels me to re-create myself. Because I love everything about words.” Meet the author and listen from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. at 475 Whitevale Rd. (south of Hwy. 407, east of the Scarborough/Pickering Town Line). Learn more about the centre at www.whitevale- acc.ca. All about the books at Bookapalooza WHITBY -- Authors, would-be writers and book lovers won’t want to miss Bookapalooza.

WHAT’S ON 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 1 9 , 2 0 1 5 26 P SP O R T S Photo by Andrew Hind HUNTSVILLE -- Avery Mitchell of Pickering won a bronze medal at the U18 women’s national hockey championships in Huntsville. Mitchell not blue about bronze Pickering resident competes at U18 national women’s championships Andrew Hind newsroom@durhamregion.com HUNTSVILLE — Somehow you just knew Team Ontario Blue was going to bring home a medal at the under-18 women’s national hockey champion- ships in Huntsville. It was evident from the drop of the puck in an opening night win against Team Atlantic that this squad of players was special. “We gelled quickly as team, and that was so important because in hock- ey you’re playing for each other,” explained Pickering’s Avery Mitchell, a rock-solid defenceman on the team. “We had a bonding period early last month where we spent the weekend together, and we spent this entire week of the tournament with almost no time apart. We just became best friends and that carries onto the ice. It was a key to our success.” Also key to the team’s success was the steadying influence of Mitchell on the blue-line. The team’s coach, Geoff Hadaway, relied on her in key situa- tions throughout the tournament -- killing penalties, playing against the opposing team’s top players, eating up ice time in close games. There were times when Mitchell seemed to rarely leave the ice. Having the coach’s trust is important to the affable 16 year old. “It means a lot to me,” she said. “It’s exciting killing a big penalty -- a bigger thrill than even scoring a goal. You do it with your whole team, the whole team is involved in stopping the other team from scoring, whereas a goal is some- thing you do yourself.” Compared to many of her team- mates, Mitchell is relatively new to the game. Starting in ringette, she switched to hockey when she was eight years old and fell in love with its speed and phys- icality. Only eight years later, the Dun- barton High School student is a stand- out player for Toronto in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League and consid- ered one of the 200 best female players in Canada under the age of 18. Though confident of her abilities, Mitchell was nonetheless nervous when she first stepped on the ice in the first game of the tournament. “The players are the best in Canada. Everyone is so good. The game is so much faster than our league at home, and more physical. It took a few shifts to adapt to the speed and skill,” she reflected. Undefeated in regulation time during the preliminary round, Team Ontario Blue lost a 3-1 heart breaker to Team Manitoba on Saturday that eliminated it from the gold-medal game. Instead, the team had less than 20 hours to refo- cus and prepare for Team BC in the bronze-medal game, a game it won 4-3. “We had to put that loss behind us and come together for each other to come home with a medal. We’re pret- ty proud of ourselves. We weren’t going for bronze when we came here a week ago but it’s a pretty amazing achieve- ment and I’ll cherish the memories,” she said after the game, still beaming. “I’m going to wear the medal for a day or so, then hang it up in my house with my sweater.” Then, it’s time to move on to other challenges. Mitchell is already commit- ted to Clarkson University in two years, and after that … who knows? She has a dream though. “I love the game and hope to keep playing,” she said. “I would love to rep- resent Canada.” Cook ready to defend Inter-Continental championship belt Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com COURTICE — As he prepares to defend his WBA intercontinental super welterweight title, Brandon ‘Bad Boy’ Cook is starting to get the recognition and respect he has earned. At a recent meet and greet at Woodbine Raceway in Toronto, the lineup moved along at a steady pace for an hour and a half to meet the champ as his popularity contin- ues to grow. The latest world rankings have him listed just outside the top 10, sitting at No. 12 by the WBA in his 154-pound weight class, a sign of respect for his unblemished record in the ring. “It’s pretty cool that the WBA has me on their list. Twelfth in the world. That’s pretty cool,” he said from his new home in Cour- tice that he just moved to in the past couple months from Ajax. That top ranking will be tested on Satur- day, Nov. 21 when the undefeated Cook puts his title and 15-0-0 record with nine knockouts on the line against veteran Rafa- el Sosa Pintos of Uruguay in the 12-round main event from the Hershey Centre in Mis- sissauga. Pintos is a 35-year-old veteran of 62 fights, bringing a record of 50-12-0 with 19 knockouts into the fight. Cook, who has developed a devastating body attack, plans to use that as a weapon against Pintos. “That’s the plan,” said the Ajax Boxing Club member. “Every fight I’ve watched, nobody throws to the body. He holds his hands up really high. There’s no point head- hunting on this guy. He has a really good guard, but he leaves his body wide open. “Our plan is to attack the body right away from the start. Because he’s four or five years older than me, I think I’ll attack the body and wear him down. As soon as I get him to drop his hands, I’ll attack upstairs and hopefully finish it off.” This will be Cook’s first defence of his intercontinental title. The 29 year old relin- quished his Canadian super welterweight and NABA Canadian middleweight titles in order to fight for the vacant WBA intercon- tinental belt on June 27 in his hometown of Ajax. He won the super welterweight crown with an impressive fourth-round knockout of Gogi Knezevic of Austria. Cook is hoping that with a couple of more wins, 2016 could provide a big payday as he continues to climb the world rankings. “As long as this one goes as planned, I’m hoping to fight one more time at the Her- shey Centre in February, unless something comes up,” he said of the plan. “Next year is the big year. When your record is 17 or 18 and 0; we’re getting calls, but nothing good enough for us to take yet. Once we get a cou- ple of more wins, a lot of things are going to start changing.” I’m going to wear the medal for a day or so, then hang it up in my house with my sweater. -- Avery Mitchell “ 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 1 9 , 2 0 1 5 27 AP 75 BAYLY STWEST AJAX L1S 7K7 NO FRILLS PLAZA TEL: 905-428-1711 •FA X: 905-428-0863 We WantTo BeYOUR Drug Store!
