Steve Chiasson, lead of problem gambling services at Lakeridge Health’s Pinewood Cen- tre for Addictions, said although there is a lot of awareness surrounding problem gam- bling, it can still be very difficult to spot. “One reason people often don’t realize it is because it’s quite hidden,” he explained. “It’s not like a substance issue where it’s much easier to see the signs. Someone may be heavily involved in gambling and you would have no idea.” That’s one reason the Responsible Gam- bling Council chose to focus on the warning signs of problem gambling for its Know the Signs campaign. “Our theme is listen to yourself,” said Heath- er Ly, project co-ordinator for the RGC. “Think about your feelings, if you’re think- ing more and more about gambling or feeling frustrated with gambling, those can be early emotional warning signs that maybe gam- bling is becoming a potential problem. Those are signs we don’t want to ignore.” Ms. Ly took that message on the road this fall, including stops at Port Perry’s Great Blue Heron Charity Casino and Ajax Downs. The RGC focuses on prevention and awareness, but partners with more than 50 treatment organizations, including Pinewood. “It really starts with how often you’re doing it,” Mr. Chiasson explained. “If you’re look- ing at someone who doesn’t have a problem, you’re really looking at someone who doesn’t gamble very much.” Pinewood offers a top-tier treatment pro- gram that focuses on collaboration, involving clients’ family members, spouses or anyone affected by the issue. “We work with where the client is at, if they’re not sure about it being a problem, we work with them to figure that out,” Mr. Chias- son explained. “We encourage people to look at the program as a way to look at their rela- tionship with gambling.” Contrary to popular belief, problem gam- bling is not about money. “People think problem gambling is all about wanting to win money but it’s not about win- ning or losing, it’s the sense that they’ve escaped something,” he explained. “What really motivates gambling is non- monetary reinforcement, escape, hope and for people to feel better about themselves.” Many people with gambling issues may have had difficult experiences in the past, and turn to gambling as a way of coping, but there is no concrete set of indicators to determine whether an individual may develop a prob- lem. “The hidden nature is really part and parcel of what’s required to go through to the level of problem gambling,” Mr. Chiasson said. “We call it a relationship with gambling. Often we hear from clients’ significant oth- ers that they thought they were having a rela- tionship with someone because they became evasive or were avoiding them. As that gam- bling relationship becomes stronger and stronger, other relationships become weaker as a consequence.” Anyone interested in finding out more about problem gambling or seeking treat- ment options can visit www.responsiblegam- bling.org/get-help . Problem gambling is a silent addiction Moya Dillon / Metroland DURHAM -- Heather Ly, project co-ordinator for the Responsible Gambling Council, during a stop at Port Perry’s Great Blue Heron Charity Casino recently. Ms. Ly visited several gambling destinations in Durham and across the GTA as part of the organiza- tion’s Know the Signs campaign, which encourages people to recognize the early signs of problem gambling. 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 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 3 AP YOUR CASINOTOUR SPECIALISTS!

Court records indicate that Matthew James Bell was released Nov. 11 on $10,000 bail and is bound by several con- ditions, including that he live with his surety in Ajax and that he not contact the alleged victim. Mr. Bell is the CEO of Ajax Swimming, and is an accom- plished coach. His past roles with Swimming Canada include acting as a member of the coaching staff at the 2015 FINA world junior championships, and a recent Mid-Eastern World Cup Tour. Durham police said an investigation was launched in August 2015 after a teenaged girl reported a sexual assault, alleged to have occurred in 2011. The teen was a member of Ajax Swimming, police said. Mr. Bell, 35, of Cumberland Lane in Ajax, was arrested Nov. 10. He faces charges including sexual assault, sexual exploi- tation and using a computer to lure a person under 18. The same day he was released on bail Mr. Bell was sus- pended by Swimming Canada. The organization said it was contacting swimmers and parents who had prior interac- tions with the accused man, and encouraged anyone with information to contact Durham police. Other bail conditions imposed on Mr. Bell include that he surrender his passport; that he not have unsupervised con- tact with anyone under 16; and that he not use a cellphone or computer. Mr. Bell is due back in court in Oshawa Nov. 30.

The 19-year-old victim sustained a knife cut to his abdomen during the inci- dent, outside the Pickering Recreation Centre on Valley Farm Road at about 9 p.m. Nov. 19, Durham police said. He was accosted on the north side of the building by three suspects, two of them on bicycles, who pushed him against a wall and demanded his belongings. The victim saw no knife but sustained a cut during the mugging, police said. The assailants fled with his wallet and gym bag. All three suspects are black and believed to be aged 20 to 25. The first is about six feet tall, 160 pounds, and wore a black winter coat with a fur-lined hood. The second suspect is about five feet 10 and 150 pounds and wore a red win- ter coat; the third suspect, also about five feet 10 and 150 pounds, wore dark cloth- ing.

This is exactly what the Liberal party and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have done in aiding Syrian refugees. John McCallum, Minister of Immi- gration, Refugees, and Citizenship, said the party remains committed to its lofty campaign commitment of relocating 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year. The Minister stated the govern- ment will be taking a “whatever works” stance to bring 25,000 refugees to Can- ada in roughly seven weeks. Since the announcement a number of experts have claimed the goal is impossible, and if the government decides to proceed on a rushed basis it could jeopardize the responsible intake of refugees. This is a politically motivated policy based on an irresponsible campaign announcement. I am disappointed the government is cobbling together a rushed plan to relo- cate refugees without coming up with a deadline based on policy, not a policy based on a deadline. On average, Canada takes in about 7,500 refugees each year. That’s roughly 144 every week. What the government is proposing would result in approximately 3,570 ref- ugees entering Canada per week for the next seven weeks. This is causing con- cern from the Canadian Council for Ref- ugees who state that the capacity to aid refugees will be “strained to breaking”. To house refugees the government is proposing to use military air bases to shelter families for the winter months. Retired Brigadier-General Gaston Cloutier stated that every single air base in Canada would have to be involved to house this number of refugees. Furthermore, while the government is in favour of using military personnel, equipment, and bases to bring refugees to Canada, it refuses to allow the mili- tary to combat ISIS, the force that is driv- ing many Syrians to seek refuge. Cana- dian CF-18 fighter jets have been active- ly involved in the U.S.-led bombing mis- sion against ISIS. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Trudeau does not believe that the work being done by the brave Cana- dian pilots and personnel on the ground in Syria is important. With the commit- ment to pull our CF-18s, he is signalling that we should keep dealing with the aftermath rather than confronting the problem. Canada has a generous refugee sys- tem based on ensuring security for refu- gee and the country as well as ensuring long-term solutions for refugees who enter Canada. There is an appropri- ate screening process and evaluation to house refugees. It is not responsible to throw together a refugee intake system to meet a politically imposed deadline. I am disappointed that the Prime Min- ister is giving in to political pressure from his flawed campaign announce- ment rather than developing a respon- sible plan based on consultation. Instead he has opted for a politically- based plan developed in a back room in Ottawa. The cost of the plan to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees has been pegged at $1.2 billion over the next 6 years. Per- haps the Liberal government should come up with a comprehensive plan which all Canadians can understand. -- Dan Goldsmith is an Oshawa resident. Politics trumps security Dan Goldsmith Guest column It didn’t take long for the annual police RIDE program to find impaired driv- ers in Durham Region, an inauspicious start to the annual safety campaign. Along with the three who were charged with impaired driving, Durham police officers at both roving and static spot- checks issued eight three-day suspen- sions to drivers who registers a warn- ing on breath devices, and one novice driver whose licence was suspended for breaching provincial zero-alcohol pro- visions. All of this occurred on the very first night of the annual Reducing Impaired Driving Everywhere Christmas cam- paign. Let this serve as a caution to everyone as Durham Region residents gear up for a month of social gatherings, seasonal celebrations and Christmas commitments. Clearly, there remains a pool of unrepentant or indifferent motorists who, despite years of public awareness campaigns and ever more punitive drunk-driving laws, choose to ingest alcohol and then get behind the wheel of a car. Regional and provincial law enforce- ment agencies patrolling roads in Dur- ham Region do their part throughout the year through public awareness ini- tiatives, programs such as RIDE and through daily police work. Schools and governments support those efforts by educating youngsters and informing average citizens about the dangers, con- sequences and life-altering outcomes related to impaired driving. The rest falls to each of us -- mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, friends and colleagues -- to drive the message home and strongly discourage those in our lives from getting behind the wheel, or taking a ride from someone who has been drinking. We may never entirely succeed in rid- ding Durham Region’s public roadways from the scourge of impaired driving despite zero-tolerance policies, active law enforcement campaigns and edu- cation initiatives, but that is precisely why we, as citizens and taxpayers, must never ease up on driving that vitally important message home. For some and for whatever their rea- sons, the notion of being pulled over by police or being caught in a RIDE spot- check is something seen in the abstract. Impaired driving collisions, injuries or death are things that happen to others, certainly not to them. For others, particularly the victims of such thinking, the consequences are all too real and tragic. So, as we embrace everything that is good about the Christmas season, let’s also ensure that those around us, those we know and those we love, are given the message from someone who knows them, someone who cares about them and someone who loves them: Don’t drink and drive this holiday season.

What are we supposed to do with the anger and helplessness and confusion we feel when terrible things happen in this world? I understand why people burn mosques and attack strangers who look like they belong to a certain blamed group. I get it. I don’t condone it, but I understand. People need to do something with their outrage, they need to do something that mitigates their sense of powerlessness in the face of tragedy. And targeted hate is simple. It’s easy and graspable. A quick fix. Like I say, I get it. I’ve been there. But it’s not the answer. The only solution to powerlessness is empowerment. The only salve for anger and hate is love. And this is a ‘two birds with one stone’ kind of equation, for there is enormous power in love. World-chang- ing power. When a ‘Paris’ or a ‘9/11’ or any of the myriad things that scare the love out of us happens, we don’t have to feel angry and powerless. Every one of us has the ability to flip a switch within ourselves. To make a choice. To decide to go out into a newly wounded world and begin to heal it, one person at a time. With every smile, with every hug, with every door held open and cup of tea prof- fered, with every courtesy, kindness and tiny act of grace, we add blinding light to a temporarily darkened global conscious- ness. That’s the way it works. And that is the power that resides within all of us. It is no small thing to make your own lit- tle corner of this world a better, happier, more joyful place. Darkness cannot exist in the face of that kind of light, that kind of love. When you feel like the scales have been tipped…tip back. Don’t join the haters. That’s easy. Instead, throw your weight onto the other side by being the source of light, of kind- ness, of laughter and love. You always have that ability and you always have that choice. Choose wisely. The universe is a beautifully balanced, incredibly efficient machine where noth- ing ever happens for no good reason. And I am convinced that each time we are faced with an act of terror, more and more of the planet is waking up to its own power. The balance is shifting. With every bomb, with every attack, with every inno- cent death, a sleeping giant is awaken- ing. A mass consciousness of love, whose power will not be thwarted. We are that giant. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 APWinter is coming.

Meh... 12% Letter of the Week Advanced greens at all Durham intersections would save lives To the editor: For some time I have wanted to send this letter, hoping to reach out to some- one who could do something to fix what is happening in our region and cities. Within this last week alone I have seen four accidents just in Oshawa. People of Durham Region, it is 2015 -- time to wake up. My question is: why do we not have advance greens at all traffic lights? Not only at rush hours (and then there are only a few), but always. I grew up in Oshawa and have also lived for short times in two other cities where all traffic lights have advance greens always, all day. There is no red-light run- ning, as people living in those areas know that they will get an advance when the light changes. This must save lives. People here are going not only through caution lights, but I have seen two or three cars run the red light just to get through. I see this all the time. This has to stop. Our region is growing, which means more cars. Lifestyles have changed to a fast pace. It is time for Durham Region to save some lives and money by forgetting about putting cameras at intersections and put- ting the people first. I am sure the cost of changing lights to advance greens must be less than the cost of fatalities, injuries and all emer- gency vehicles being dispatched because of these accidents. I am sure their time could be put to better use. This letter is not to place blame, but to help fix the problem. If I can save one life by writing this let- ter, it was worth it. Let’s make a difference now Durham. Unfortunately, this letter may be too late for some people, but hopefully in time to save lives. Diane Otte Oshawa Helen Dranski Ogden: Wow, this disgusts me; I can’t believe our immi- gration process, absolutely ridicu- lous, this man has proven himself here and yet they are willing to take in all those refugees that have proven nothing. Adele Evans: How terribly unfair! Definitely should be allowed to stay!! Shame on you Canada!! Sharon Boone-Taaffe: He should be allowed to stay. This is crazy. He won’t be a burden and in the write-up his father-in-law tried to act as spon- sor and they denied it. So we will kick someone out who can fend for him and daughter and has a job and will bring in tons of people that will be living off the system. Our government needs to step up and let this guy stay here, not tear his family apart. Susan Jobse: I sent an email to the Minister. It took me less than 5 min- utes. The email address online is: john.mccallum@parl.gc.ca Please consider writing a quick email to urge the Min- ister to allow Mr. Mailman to stay for the sake of his daughter, her CANADIAN grandparents, and for himself and the memory of his beloved wife. They’ve gone through enough already. Here is someone who went thorough all the proper channels and is being rejected due to a tragedy! Let’s support them! Paula Palma: But Canada will bring in 25k refugees by the end of the year.....shame on Canada!!! Ryan Bradley: An immigrant is as much of a threat (to) Canadian citi- zens as the 25,000 refugees. So, it’s okay to embrace one with open arms, but to be scared of the 25,000 coming into Canada. 1. Winter tires 2. Clear your windshield 3. Top up fluids 4. Replace wipers 5.

The data shows businesses where people work for themselves with zero employees represents the fastest-growing segment of employers in Durham with a 33 per cent increase between June 2014 and 2015. Whitby resident Chris Kehagias was a 13-year employee at Johnson Controls, a feeder plant for General Motors, when he opted to go into business for himself. It all started about three years ago when he was trying to get a quote to get the cedars in his backyard cut and ended up getting a machine to do it himself. “I did the neighbours’ homes, I did the whole area, it just kind of blew up from there,” he said. “I gave people customer service and I gave them good quotes and it boomed from there.” He launched iTrim4U and before long he had to make a choice between his manufacturing job and his budding busi- ness. “I couldn’t handle both jobs and John- son Controls gave me a pension and paid me well there, but I couldn’t do both and I had to make a decision and it was the right decision I made to run my own business,” he said, adding that he now gets jobs all over Durham and Toronto and is the larg- est specialty hedge trimmer in the area. He now hires summer students to help with the work. While his business flourishes, the man- ufacturing industry he used to work in is shedding jobs. Statistics Canada data shows that single- person businesses are showing growth in a number of fields, including real estate, professional and administrative services, the finance sector, construction and the trades, health care and more. Across all industries, they represent an increase of 9,500 new businesses in Durham year over year. “This is not a Durham Region specific trend but a trend across the province and trend across the country,” said Heather McMillan, executive director of Durham Workforce Authority. “The largest eco- nomic drivers are small- and medium- sized businesses.” Teresa Shaver is the executive director of the Business Advisory Centre of Durham, a government-funded non-profit organiza- tion that helps people start and grow their businesses. Between April and October, the BACD saw a 30 per cent increase in their clientele with 400 people consulting the organiza- tion about starting a new business. Ms. Shaver attributes some of the growth to the end of the Ontario Self-Employment Benefit Program, a provincial program that supported unemployed Ontarians trying to launch a business. But for most people, it’s a changing employment landscape that leaves going into business for themselves as the best option. “One of the reasons I think that is, is the large companies of yesteryear are disap- pearing or their workforce is globalized, and because of that a lot of the jobs that used to be here are all over the world,” said Ms. Shaver. “Also, I think people have changed, a lot of people, if they’re not able to find the right job, opening their own business is a very viable option.” Ms. Shaver also points out that Durham is growing and as new residents move in, some are opting to start their own busi- nesses and taking an initial pay cut to avoid commuting. “I hear this from a lot of our clients, they want to be happy and a lot of them start businesses that are nowhere near what they were earning but they want to work for themselves.” The BACD numbers show the largest number of their clients are starting busi- nesses in the professional, scientific and technical services category, a catch-all label that includes accountants, engineers, architects, marketing and various types of consulting work. It’s followed by retail which means anyone selling a product, the food and hospitality industry and con- struction. In some cases, said Ms. Shaver, people are working contract jobs for larger busi- nesses but are self-employed. One exam- ple is a business owner who buys a truck so she can pick up jobs making deliveries for large retail stores. Ms. Shaver points out that small busi- nesses do have a high failure rate and says the most important factor is understand- ing the target market. “If they are making their move to their own business, the people that are the most successful are the people that really pay attention to marketing, sales and network- ing,” she said. Mr. Kehagias said constantly looking for clients is the key, whether it’s ensuring he gets positive reviews online or dropping flyers in an area or simply encouraging word-of-mouth. “I have to look for the work, I have to get the work, I can’t just stay home.” Mr. Kehagias said he believes there are opportunities available for those who are willing to work hard, and believes others can create their own work. “I’d like to give hope to people who are losing their jobs, so they can find some- thing, just don’t give up.” For more information about the BACD and support for new entrepreneurs, visit www.bacd.ca or call 905-668-4949. HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • The fastest growing segment of employ- ers in Durham is people who work for themselves with zero employees. • The segment represents more than 29,000 businesses. • Experts believe the trend represents people opting to create their own jobs in a tough job market. WHITBY -- Chris Kehagias, seen here and on our cover, is a former manufacturing worker who went into business for himself and now does hedge trimming. He’s one of many Durham Region residents who have taken the leap to busi- ness ownership. Jason Liebregts / Metroland I gave people customer service and I gave them good quotes and it boomed from there. -- Chris Kehagias “ Real EstateM E t R o l a n D D u R h a M *Independently Owned & Operated 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 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 11 AP Top 3%Nationally2007-2014* Top 5%Nationally2006* Royal Lepage Signature Realty Brokerage Independently Owned and Operated Office:416-443-0300 Direct 416-574-3333 Email:louisesabino@royallepage.ca Web:www.LouiseSabino.com “YOUR HOME .

Your Local Birding & Nature Experts Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Police have issued another plea for assis- tance as they try to identify a suspect in a creepy cam- paign of harassment that’s targeted an Ajax couple. The harassment began in May with slashed tires and has continued, at one point escalating to a confronta- tion outside the victim’s home, Durham police said. Cops and media have published pictures of the suspect, but he remains unidentified. Many tips came in after police publicized the incidents in June but none bore fruit, said Sergeant Bill Calder. “We had some people that were fairly confident they knew him, but the suspect hasn’t been identified,” he said. In recent weeks the victim has also taken to social media, pleading for leads that might identify the suspect. The victim did not respond to a request for an interview. Sgt. Calder said that after a spate of events earlier in the year, things were quiet until Nov. 5, when the victim once again had damage done to his vehicle when it was parked at his workplace in Whitby. “There was no known activity after the media release went out in June,” he said. “It’s true harassment. We’re seeing a pattern of (the suspect) being around their prop- erty and their vehicles. We don’t know where he could take it from here.” The incidents began in late May when the Ajax man found the tires on his car slashed at his workplace; that occurred twice more over the next two weeks, police said. The couple then reported incidents occurring at their home in Ajax, including one morning when they woke to find their front door, which had been locked the previous night, wide open. On June 19 the Ajax man caught the suspect moving trash cans to his front door; the victim managed to get a cell phone picture of his tormentor, a balding white man with a heavy build, as he fled to his car, a newer dark silver Hyundai Sonata. Despite the clear image captured and published, the identity of the suspect remains unknown. It’s not known what triggered the bizarre behaviour, Sgt. Calder said. “We haven’t been able to formulate a motive,” he said. “It’s troubling.” Call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2528 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Durham police issue another plea for information as harassment campaign against Ajax couple resumes Submitted photo DURHAM -- Investigators are again appealing to the public to help identify a male suspected of harassing an Ajax couple. 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 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 13 AP WE AREYOUR LOCAL NUTRITION CENTRE AND HOLISTIC HEALTH RETAILER.

Durham police said bank staff at the BMO Bank on Westney Road North became suspi- cious of identification used by a man who was attempting to withdraw a large sum of cash on Nov. 19; they contacted the real account hold- er, a 70-year-old resident of Dryden, Ontario, and confirmed the ID was fake, police said. Bank staff quietly contacted Durham police. The unwitting suspect was still waiting in the bank lobby when cops arrived, and he was arrested without incident. Azdali Damani, 60, of Kingsway Drive in Kitchener, faces charges including fraud over $5,000, possession of a credit card obtained by crime, possession of a forged document and forgery. 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 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 14 AP We take care of all your health and wellness needs •Fast and friendly service •Free prescription delivery •Diabetes education •Seniors’ discount 88 Harwood Ave South, Ajax (905) 239-5690 Pharmacist/Owner Bowen Chen 207 Queen Street, Port Perry www.lukesforhome.com•905-985-3011for home ONEDAYONLY!

Lakeridge Oshawa gets top marks for stroke care OSHAWA -- Staff at Lakeridge Health Oshawa is celebrating the top marks earned in a review of the hospital’s stroke care. Accreditation Canada marked the hos- pital just shy of perfect, with a 99 per cent grade in stroke care services and awarded Lakeridge a ‘distinction’ rank, the highest rating for stroke care. The marks were based on an Accredita- tion Canada review in October where evalu- ators spent four days in the Oshawa hospital talking to staff, patients and outside organi- zations like Durham’s paramedics. 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 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 17 AP Ajax!Thank You We are honoured to have the support of our neighbours and Town Council.

PICKERING -- The Toronto Area Ford Dealers Association is joining CTV’s annual Toy Mountain Campaign in sup- port of the Salvation Army for the sixth consecutive year. Participating Ford dealers from across the GTA will collect charitable donations of new, unwrapped toys until Dec. 21. As they come in, the toys will go to the Sal- vation Army to help build a mountain of toys. This year, dealers hope to collect more than last year’s total of 16,272 donations. Every donation of a new and unwrapped toy by Dec. 15 will receive a ballot for a chance to win a 2016 Ford Escape. “We’re encouraging community members to give what they can so that we can help bring a very special holi- day season to even more local families in need,” said David Nourse, past presi- dent of the Toronto Area Ford Dealers Association. The participating dealer in Pickering is Formula Ford Lincoln at 940 Kingston Rd., Pickering.

That was the progression Brandon ‘Bad Boy’ Cook went through in the first defence of his WBA intercontinen- tal super welterweight (154 lbs.) title against Uruguay’s Rafael Sosa Pintos in a scheduled 12-round fight at Mis- sissauga’s Hershey Centre on Saturday, Nov. 21. Serving as the main event of the night, a slow start to the fight ended quickly in the fifth round when Cook dropped Pintos for the second time in the round. An accurate body attack sent Pintos to the canvas, where he was counted out by referee Mark Simmons. “As soon as I hit him there, I could feel him wince. So I went right back there right away,” said Cook of the knockout. But it was a round earlier, in the fourth, where the fight started to take shape. Repeated low blows by Pintos earned him a warning and then a point deduction. The two traded punch- es, and words at one point during the round, though the verbal exchange was lost in the the translation. “He was saying stuff to me but I couldn’t understand it,” said Cook, an Ajax native now living in Courtice. “He hit me low, I counted at least nine times myself. He hit me in the knee. I was getting really frustrated until I went back to the corner and (trainer) Mike (Guyett) calmed me down. I just wanted to go and rip his head off. Obvi- ously, I had to relax.” Guyett, who has been with Cook since the beginning, could sense his fighter was rattled, and losing some focus. “He started to get a little bit frustrat- ed, but that’s to be expected. Brandon wears his heart on his sleeve, so when he came back to the corner, I just had to tell him we’re professionals, this is professional fighting. Take your time. He told me he wanted to knock him out right then and there. I said, take your time.” The victory improved Cook to 16-0 with 10 knockouts to his credit. The Ajax Boxing Club member won the WBA intercontinental title back in June with a fourth-round knockout of Gogi Knezevic of Austria in a fight held at the Ajax Community Centre. In Pintos, the first challenger to his title, Cook was facing a veteran of the ring. In 62 previous fights, Pin- tos amassed a record of 50-12 with 19 knockouts. Both fighters took a cautious approach through the opening three rounds, Pintos circling and Cook stalk- ing him, trying to cut the ring off. “I was maybe a little patient at the start because he was moving quite a bit,” said Cook from his dressing room after the fight. “I had to feel him out and cut off the ring a bit more. He just kept going around and around. “Finally I opened him up to the body, but it took a little bit. His guard was a lot better than the last fight I had seen.” At the end of the fight, Cook was favouring his right shoulder, an injury he sustained prior to his title fight in June, that continues to linger. But he shrugged it off, vowing to return again in February for the next card at the Hershey Centre. Cook roasts Pintos in five Ron Pietroniro / Metroland MISSISSAUGA -- Brandon ‘Bad Boy’ Cook from Ajax pounded his opponent Rafael Sosa Pintos from Uruguay during their main event bout at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga. Cook knocked out Pintos in the fifth round to retain his WBA intercontinental championship belt. Iman Williams- Mulesa named tennis athlete of month NEW HAVEN, CONN. — Just weeks after competing versus Concordia College (NY) in the 2015 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference championship, Chestnut Hill College women’s tennis standout Iman Williams-Mulesa of Pickerng was named the league’s student-athlete of the month for October. A senior captain with the 2015-2016 Chestnut Hill College women’s ten- nis team, Williams-Mulesa garnered the award for her outstanding success on the tennis court, in the classroom, and her dedicated volunteer work in the campus and local community. A three-time All-CACC honouree, Wil- liams-Mulesa won her third-consecutive honour during October, bringing home her second straight all-league second- team accolade. Williams-Mulesa was 6-1 at number three singles and 6-2 at number one doubles, with sophomore Lara Schol- tze, as she helped guide the Griffins to a sixth-straight CACC postseason berth. Fol- lowing the conclusion of the CACC cham- pionship tournament, Williams-Mulesa was placed on the All-Tournament Team for her strong postseason play. October was not the only dominate month for Williams-Mulesa, who also had a strong September with her 100th career win in a 9-0 CACC triumph over Caldwell University on Sept. 23. Overall, she went 9-1 in singles and 10-3 in doubles during the fall campaign. In the classroom, as she boasts an impressive 3.90 cumulative grade point average in her major of business admin- istration and management. She is a mem- ber of three honour societies including Alpha Lambda Delta, Sigma Beta Delta, and Delta Epsilon Sigma. Additionally, she is a two-time honouree on the CACC Fall Sports All-Academic Team and received similar honors from Chestnut Hill Col- lege, the Philadelphia Sports Information Directors’ Association and the Intercolle- giate Tennis Association. In the college and local community, Williams-Mulesa has also been involved in several projects including the Chest- nut Hill College Business Club, Business Book Club, and Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, which has taken part in a large number of community service initiatives. She is also three-year tutor/mentor at the Roosevelt Middle School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 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 2 5 , 2 0 1 5 20 AP TECHNOLOGY Achieve success with a career in technology.

He canvassed for the St. Boniface Church building fund, was a Charismatic Renewal Leader, was active in the Knights of Columbus and Manresa Retreat Center, and was a big helper to Santa Claus for the elementary schools and nursing homes in Scarborough and Durham Region. Alan championed school breakfasts and lunches for children in need. Alan together with June lived each day practicing their Roman Catholic faith.

He was always able to make people feel welcome and connect with them and offer a helping hand. He was always a true gentleman. Alan loved to have parties for every occasion and could be found playing the banjo and singing.
