Working in conjunction with local police services, including Durham police, the OPP tracked 80 per- sons of interest suspected of varying levels of child exploitation ranging from sexual assault and luring to possession of child pornography. The OPP held a press conference at which inves- tigators described the initiative, and discussed the importance of identifying and pursuing traffick- ers and collectors of child porn. A media package included a pages-long list of those accused and the charges against them. Six Durham residents were among the accused. But while the names, ages, places of residence and charges for most of the accused were released, the identities of the Durham suspects were not (some information from other jurisdictions was also omit- ted -- for instance, one suspect whose identity was protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act). The Durham entries stood in contrast to allega- tions from other jurisdictions, ranging from Kings- ton to Sault Ste. Marie, where suspects were identi- fied. According to the OPP, the decision to withhold the information was made by Durham police. Durham police spokesman Dave Selby confirmed that was the case. The reason, he explained, was that there was concern that court-ordered publica- tion bans may have prohibited identifying suspects. All of the Durham men arrested during the sweep were held for bail hearings. It is customary for courts to impose a publication ban under Section 517.1 of the Criminal Code, prohibiting reporting on evi- dence presented during bail hearings.

West, Suite 206, Ajax 1099 Kingston Rd., Suite 246, Pickering Unifor heads into bargaining with auto makers in August Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Weeks away from heading into bargaining talks with GM Canada, members of Unifor Local 222 outlined a bleak future for the GM Oshawa assembly plant if the compa- ny doesn’t announce new product. The union called a press conference Tues- day morning, June 21, to press GM on the issue and also officially launched its GM Oshawa Matters campaign. “Just look at our brothers and sisters in the UAW (in the United States), they announced billions of dollars in investment before they even went to the bargaining table, they all got a wage increase,” said Greg Moffatt, Unifor/ GM master bargaining committee chairper- son. “Concessions is not going to solve this, working together is going to solve this. They announced all kinds of product in the UAW prior to even bargaining so we’re looking to sitting down with General Motors and com- ing up with a solution for the City of Oshawa.” The road outside the union hall on Phillip Murray Avenue was lined with signs that had slogans like ‘We didn’t bail out GM for Mexi- co’ and ‘How does GM spell loyalty? No prod- uct?’ They also listed products the Oshawa plant has lost over the years, including the Camaro. “General Motors certainly hasn’t commit- ted to the City of Oshawa, it’s pretty appar- ent,” said Mr. Moffatt. “The Camaro has left the City of Oshawa, the next generation Equi- nox is going to be at our sister plant in Inger- soll and two plants in Mexico and one in China, the Regal’s going to be discontinued next June. I believe the next launch of that vehicle is going to be in China so we’re going to be left with a couple of vehicles that can- not sustain two assembly plants and an eight- million-square-foot facility.” He said he doesn’t get a “warm and fuzzy feeling” about the future of GM in Oshawa despite the quality of the products produced locally. “To be quite frank, our product, our qual- ity our productivity, our cost per vehicle is as good as anybody in the world, our taxpayers in the province and in Canada bailed General Motors out, our retirees took huge hits,” said. Mr. Moffatt. “We haven’t had a raise in nine years, I find it quite frankly insulting General Motors is doing this to the City of Oshawa, we don’t deserve it... let me tell you something right now, we’re not going to stand for it.” Workers sported T-shirts that read ‘No product? No contract’ on the back and ‘If pro- voked we will strike’, and while union officials said no one wanted to strike, when Mr. Mof- fatt was asked if the workers were threatening a strike, he responded “you got that figured out.” “All we’re looking for is some security for our members for the future and we think it’s only fair to our members that they know if they have a future here in this facility,” said Unifor Local 222 president Colin James. Mr. James said the union will be going into the community to events to discuss the impact of GM in Oshawa. “We don’t want to be another Flint Michi- gan... if they do not invest in our plant, it can be devastating for the whole region,” he said. Oshawa mayor John Henry, MPP Jenni- fer French and United Way Durham Region campaign director Bob Howard also joined union officials to stress the importance of GM’s Oshawa plant to the community both for workers and for the broader economic spinoffs. When asked for comment, GM officials pointed to the latest community update released on the same day which highlighted a quote from the GM Canada president Steve Carlisle. “I am sometimes asked if automotive sector transformation and our focus on advanced technology and engineering signals a change for manufacturing in Canada and I always reply ‘no’, it’s not either/or, it’s both,” he said in the update. Unifor Local 222 pushes for product for Oshawa GM plant at press conference Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland OSHAWA -- Ed Dwyer, a retiree who worked for GM in Oshawa for 34 years, col- lected signs to put outside his home. Members of Unifor Local 222 launched their GM Oshawa Matters campaign, pushing for new product in the Oshawa plant. Several members sported T-shirts suggesting the union may be ready to strike if a new prod- uct isn’t brought to Oshawa. inside June 23, 2016 Pressrun 54,400 / 32 pages editorial Page / 6 What’s On / 19 Calendar of events / 23 sports / 25 Classified / 28 905-215-0442 durhamregion.com The latest news from across durham Region, Ontario, Canada and the world all day, every day. search ‘newsdurham’ on your favourite social media channel.

Properties assessed every four years by provincial agency DURHAM -- Property reassessment notices are in the mail. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) began mailing Property Assessment Notices to homes in Durham Region. Every four years MPAC conducts a province-wide Assessment Update and mails assessment notices to every prop- erty owner. All properties will have a legislated val- uation date of Jan. 1, 2016. The corporation looks at sales and compares properties to similar prop- erties that have sold in a particular area. “Our assessments reflect the local real estate market and property owners in Durham may be interested to know the value of their home has increased over the last four years,” said Carmelo Lipsi, director of valuation and customer rela- tions for MPAC. “Property owners should ask them- selves if they could have sold their prop- erty for its assessed value on Jan. 1, 2016. If the answer is yes, then their assess- ment is accurate and no further action is required. If not, we are committed to working with them to get it right,” said Mr. Lipsi. Property owners can visit aboutmy- property.ca to learn more about residen- tial market trends in their area and how their property was assessed.

Deeply-closeted, self-loathing, homophobe? Any which way you care to explain away the actions of Omar Mateen, the one, unde- niable truth is that if the assault weap- on is taken out of the equation, things change dramatically. It really is that simple. People…and, let’s be perfectly clear here… American people, need to get their heads around that. You have a very big problem folks and you need to do something about it. The status quo is rotten. Again, forget about any ISIS affilia- tion or religious fundamentalist finger pointing for a moment and run the vari- ous scenarios through your NRA cloud- ed mind. An angry, deranged Mateen walks into the nightclub, shouts whatever slo- gan your particular bias would like him to shout; “Allahu Akbar”, “Down with Homos”, “Why can’t I be fabulous too!” whatever ... then pulls out a ... let’s say . . . knife. Maybe one or two people are hurt, perhaps badly, possibly killed before he is restrained and subdued. At least 45 to 50 recently deceased, irre- placeable people would still be around. Next scenario. Mateen pulls out a pis- tol, even a heavy-caliber weapon with a dozen or more rounds in the maga- zine. Again, even if every shot is miracu- lously lethal, 35 precious lives would be saved. You can run this scenario with any number of currently available, non- automatic, non-assault style ordnance ... in fact you really should run it. Please ... run it ... until you get it through your thick, 2nd Amendment-loving skull... and you will find that the math varies only slightly. Shotgun: One or two casualties, various injured. Hunting rifle: One or two casualties. Blunderbuss: A whole lot of noise and embarrassment. Cricket Bat: Line ups and cries of ‘Me First!’. In fact, even if Matteen had walked in with a grenade in his pathetic, mis- guided hands, the numbers would be nowhere close to 50 beautiful souls gone from this planet. The problem, the main problem, the problem we should all be talking about, is the weapon. The ‘assault’ weapon. Why is this not abundantly clear at this point? What possible argument can any sane individual put forth to counter a complete ban on these useless, murder- ous, monstrous inventions. They have no place anywhere outside of the mili- tary. And yet, still, we must deal with cement-headed, blinkered, anachro- nistic cave people who cannot come to grips with the fact that, if society is to move forward, if mankind is to evolve, some things need to go away. It’s called taking one for the team. Dump the guns and the pinheaded attitude and join the rest of us out here trying to make things better. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column neil crone Enter Laughing Commuting is something more than half of Durham Region residents do every day to get to and from work. Whether you’re new to the commute or an old pro you know the frustration of the stop and go, stop and go, stop and go of highway traffic. For those who use the GO Train we’re all aware of how crowd- ed the buses and trains are during rush hours. So you could understand the frustra- tion many commuters have felt over the years as more infrastructure work on highways and transit has taken place in Toronto, Mississauga or Brampton. What about Durham many have wondered? Well wonder no more. Finally Durham Region has some pos- itive news from the Province when it comes to transportation infrastructure. This week the Hwy. 407 East project from Pickering to Harmony Road in Oshawa was opened giving motorists some much needed relief from the crowded Hwy. 401 to the south of it. There will be an initial toll-free period for these sections of highway. Drivers will not have to pay toll fees until 2017. And Monday Pre- mier Kathleen Wynne announced the GO Train will finally be put through to Bowmanville by 2023-24. Premier Wynne made the announce- ment at the site of the future GO Train station on Martin Road in Bowmanville, behind Shoppers Drug Mart. In total, four new stations will be built in order to extend service east, including two new stations in Oshawa. One at Thornton Road and the other at Ritson Road. Both of these projects have been a long time in the making and by the time the extended GO Train line to Bowmanville is completed so too will the next stage of the Hwy. 407 East project through Clar- ington to Hwy. 35/115. It’s expected to be ready by 2020. “The Hwy. 407 East Project will provide significant economic spin-off benefits to the region both now but also for years to come,” said Transportation Minister Ste- ven Del Duca, adding that the improved flow of traffic will also benefit families by shaving time off their daily commutes. The spin-off of these projects has already impacted Durham Region with housing prices and development rising at rapid rates. Couple that with the antic- ipated jobs both projects will attract to the area and the future looks bright east of Toronto. None of these announcements is going to eliminate peoples’ commute com- pletely but it gives some welcome relief to the thousands of workers who make that trek ever day. It’s also nice to know the Province is finally paying attention to the needs of our Region after decades of neglect. It’s appreciated and well over- due. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Provincial transit announcements will improve much more than our commutes Agree? Disagree?

It’s something that needs protecting,” the Prime Minister told the crowd. At the Paddle the Rouge event, hosted by Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society’s Wildlands League, Ontario Minister of Infra- structure Brad Duguid announced he will recommend to cabinet that the provincial lands be transferred to the federal govern- ment. In 2013, Canada and Ontario signed an agreement to develop policies governing the park to create Rouge National Urban Park, and to “meet or exceed” provincial protec- tion standards. Last April, federal legislation to create the national park was adopted, but the Province refused to hand over its lands until it was satisfied with the park protections. On June 9, the federal government intro- duced a new bill to make nature conserva- tion the first priority for managing the park, prompting Mr. Duguid’s announcement to transfer the land. It also included expanding the park by 17 square kilometres and allow- ing farmers to negotiate leases of up to 30 years, rather than the previous year-to-year leases. Mr. Duguid suspects the legal aspects of the land transfer will be completed by April, 2017. Once fully established, the park will be more than 79 square kilometres. Larry Noonan, Pickering resident and member of Friends of the Rouge National Urban Park, was pleased with the announce- ment, but hopes Parks Canada will be able to begin much-needed work in the Rouge before next April. “All I want is for the park, the animals, the flora, the fauna and the eco systems, to be properly preserved and rehabilitated where it’s needed,” he said. Jim Robb, general manager of Friends of the Rouge Watershed, wants to see improve- ments to the legislation, including the imple- mentation of the Greenbelt and Rouge Park main ecological corridor, as well as water- shed and Great Lakes water quality improve- ment plans; and to enlarge the park towards 100 square kilometres by adding Greenbelt lands. “The announcement is a good first step,” he said. Meanwhile, former Toronto Mayor David Crombie and other community advocates are calling on the federal government to cancel the proposed Pickering airport and include all remaining federally-owned lands within the urban park, making it even bigger. The plans were announced at the Land Over Landings annual general meeting on June 15. “We could surround ourselves with a sea of beautiful forests and a sea of beautiful farms,” said Toronto Deputy Mayor Glenn De Baeremaeker, who first proposed a national park around 30 years ago. World food demand will increase by 60 to 70 per cent by 2050, said farmland preserva- tion advocate and LOL chairwoman Mary Delaney. She said it’s time the federal govern- ment recognizes the critical need for food- land and prosperity through agri-business. “We’re proposing to make it green and vibrant and prosperous, to bring prosperi- ty back to this region that’s been shut down, depressed for half a century by our own gov- ernment,” she said.

The dog, now named Shelby, will stay with Sarah Cooper and her family after the breeder decided to waive his usual fee. Shelby was stolen from Gurjot Sekhon’s Mississauga home earlier this month in a bra- zen pepper-spray attack by a group of people posing as potential buyers, according to Peel police. A friend of Ms. Cooper’s found the puppy a week later, wandering on a busy street. That’s when Ms. Cooper took her in, and the family fell in love. Hoping to keep Shelby after she melted their hearts, Ms. Cooper was disappointed to learn Mr. Sekhon had set the price at $1,250, too much for the family with a tuition pay- ment soon due for their older daughter. Following a visit to Ms. Cooper’s Whitby home on Sunday, Mr. Sekhon decided the dog belonged with them. “After everything I have been through, I wasn’t too concerned about the money as I was about ensuring the puppy found a happy home,” he said. Readers sent offers to help with the costs after reading Ms. Cooper’s story. One even offered a husky puppy from her own family dog’s litter. “That was amazing what (Mr. Sekhon) did, and all the outpouring was fantastic,” Ms. Cooper said. “It shocked me.” Nine-year-old Meghan is delighted to have Shelby around for good, her mom said. Now they are looking forward to taking walks through the trails in the nearby Heber Down Conservation Area with their other dog, Mya, an Australian Shepherd. “She’s doing very well,” Ms. Cooper said. “For what she’s been through, I think she’s a very well-rounded puppy.” -- Torstar news services Durham family keeps puppy recoveredafter Mississauga pepper-spray attack Submitted photo DURHAM -- Meghan Johnson, 9, with her new puppy.

UPTO Dwayne George convicted of repeated assaults on girlfriend Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The Ontario Court of Appeal has upheld a judge’s ruling that a Pickering man convicted of repeatedly assaulting his girlfriend is a dangerous offender who should be jailed indefinitely. In a ruling released June 14, the court rejected arguments that Superior Court Justice Bryan Shaughnessy improperly weighed evidence against Dwayne George, who was convicted of offences including assault causing bodily harm, unlawful con- finement and uttering threats after a trial in 2011. The court also ruled that Justice Shaugh- nessy properly analyzed an expert wit- ness’s conclusion that Mr. George remains a danger to the public. The judge correctly concluded that Mr. George “met the criteria for a dangerous offender designation and that there was no reasonable possibility of eventual control in the community,” says the ruling. Mr. George was 32 when he was sen- tenced as a dangerous offender in Febru- ary 2012. The Crown made the application after Mr. George was convicted of sever- al charges relating to an incident in 2007, during which he confined, assaulted and threatened a woman with whom he’d been in a relationship. Mr. George was also convicted of obstructing justice for a plot in which he instructed an associate to abduct and tor- ture the woman in an effort to get her to recant her allegations against him. Factoring into the judge’s consideration of the dangerous offender application was Mr. George’s conviction for an incident in 2000, during which he abducted and tor- tured the same woman, at one point forc- ing her to shave off her hair. The dangerous offender designation means Mr. George is sentenced to an indef- inite jail term; his incarceration is subject to periodic review by corrections officials. Court of Appeal upholds indefinite jail term for Pickering man 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 • Ju n e 2 3 , 2 0 1 6 10 AP The restriction is designed to protect an accused’s right to a fair trial, but doesn’t pre- clude reporting the identity of the accused. In some cases involving child exploitation, a ban under Section 486.4 will also be imposed; that prohibits reporting information that would identify victims of sexual crimes. Although no extraordinary ban on the iden- tities of the accused was confirmed, Durham police made the decision to withhold the information, Mr. Selby said. “The issue we’ve had is not the (publica- tion) ban interpretation, but any addition- al orders made by a (justice of the peace) at the time,” he said. “We don’t know what was added, if anything.” Mr. Selby acknowledged that withholding the information is an anomaly for Durham police; the service commonly identifies peo- ple charged with crimes relating to sexual exploitation and child pornography. He said he expects identifying information will be released when such charges are laid in the future. “Unless similar unusual circumstances arise in the future, it is our intention to con- tinue to release the names of accused per- sons in these types of investigations,” Mr. Selby said. Durham police did, however, release to Metroland Durham Region Media Group court file numbers for the men, whose first appearances were in late April. A check of those records indicates that five of the six have notations of Section 517.1 bans on evidence presented during bail hearings. One of those files, relating to an accu- sation of luring a child, also makes note of a Section 486.4 ban on information that would identify the victim. One case appears to have gone through the bail process with no publication bans at all being imposed. None of the files makes note of extraordi- nary bans on the identity of accused persons. Metroland Durham Region Media Group contacted defence lawyers and a Crown attorney who have had involvement with the files; none were aware of a ban on the identity of those accused. Information on the identities of those charged by police ought to be released in a timely fashion, particularly in cases involving alleged child exploitation, said Andrea Slane, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. “People do have a right to know wheth- er someone in the community may have committed such crimes,” Dr. Slane wrote in response to e-mailed questions. “Howev- er, we can’t forget the presumption of inno- cence, which is equally important. If charges are secretly laid, or the individual charged is not named, then the process is not open to public scrutiny and miscarriages of justice are more likely.” It’s incumbent on the police to release infor- mation on charges and, in the event there’s concern about releasing it, to confirm there’s legal justification for withholding it, Dr. Slane said. “The whole point of having the judiciary be the ones to issue publication bans is that they will have carefully considered the reasons for requesting one -- and there are indeed legitimate reasons to withhold identity infor- mation, like that it would identify a victim or compromise an investigation. Judges are also supposed to only make the ban as broad as necessary to protect those interests,” she said. “Police need to know the details of the scope of that ban, and not just act on some rumours that there is one.” After a review of the court files and con- sultation with legal counsel, as well as law- yers involved in the files, Metroland Durham Region Media Group has found no indication of a publication ban on the identities of those accused and has opted to publish the infor- mation. Charged are: • Stephen B. Wallace, 67, of Westmoreland Avenue, Oshawa, two counts of distribution of child pornography; • Nino R. Despot, 43, of Dollery Gate, Ajax, possession of child pornography, publishing child pornography and accessing child porn; • Brent Kevin Whitworth, 40, of Beatrice Street East, Oshawa, communicating with a child for the purpose of facilitating a criminal offence; • Jason Hather, 33, of Peel Street, Whitby, accessing child pornography, possession of child porn and of making available sexually explicit material to a young person; • Christopher Laforge, 53, of Lexington Street, Oshawa, possession of child pornogra- phy and making available child porn, and • Michael James Shaw, 25, of Exeter Road, Ajax, accessing and making available child pornography and possession of child porn.

Several people -- including two Pickering residents -- give deposit, but work never started DURHAM -- An Oshawa man is facing fraud charges after three Durham Region residents gave a deposit to a contractor, who then didn’t complete the work. On Tuesday, May 17, a Pickering resi- dent told Durham Regional Police he had contacted a contractor last Septem- ber, who he had found online, with the intention of having concrete work done at his house. The contractor, who advertised the ser- vices of ‘The Cement Finisher’ through the company TCF Contracting, provided the victim with a quote and was given a deposit. The man never returned to start the work, police say. Investigators were able to deter- mine that the same contractor had been reported by a Whitby resident and another Pickering resident, who both paid a deposit for a stamped concrete patio, and was suspected of cashing two forged cheques at a local financial insti- tution. The suspect was arrested at a residence on Sunday, May 22. Investigators want to ensure there are no other victims. Peter Kroone, 31, of Labrador Drive in Oshawa, is charged with five counts of fraud under $5,000 and two counts of uttering a forged document. He was later released on a Promise to Appear. DRPS remind the public to take prop- er steps to identify who you are dealing with and to take your time to thorough- ly check contractors before giving them any money. Anyone with new information or has had contact with the suspect is asked to contact D/Cst. Williams of the West Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2526.

Together—the best at what we do It’s a time for star-gazing in Canada and this summer there’s plenty to see At long last, it’s summer in Canada, prime star-gazing season. From back- yards, campsites and cottage docks across the country, people will be look- ing up in wonder at the night sky, enjoy- ing the greatest show on earth. And this summer there’s plenty to see. For starters, spectacular planets. Jupi- ter high in the west after sunset -- a bright white, shining orb sinking toward the horizon by midnight, the fifth far- thest planet from the sun. Through a telescope or good binocu- lars you can see its four largest moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, pin- pricks of light circling the giant gas plan- et, which is 317.8 times more massive than Earth. Now that the glow from the last full moon is out of the way we can get back to enjoying the colourful light show that’s been centre stage all May and June: the Mars-Saturn-Antares triangle. A few weeks ago Mars came closer to Earth than it’s been in a decade, only 753 million kilometres away. That bright blood-red disk we’ve been treated to is fading a bit in intensity now, but still dominates the southeastern sky after sunset, then marches across the heavens throughout the night. Traveling with it, to its left, is yellow- tinged Saturn, and below Saturn the third point of the triangle, the giant red star Antares. It’s well worth training your optics on all three. On Mars, to marvel at its iron- red dusty surface and perhaps find its polar ice cap. On Saturn, to glimpse its spectacular rings and its orange-tinted moon, Titan. And on Antares, an M1 supergiant 11,000 times more brilliant than our sun, to ponder that its light reaching us this summer has been speeding through space for 604 years. Antares means ‘rival of Mars’, named for its deep red colour. It’s at the heart of constellation Scorpius, the scorpion that stung Orion the hunter, who strides across the winter sky. Astronomers think that massive Antar- es could explode and go supernova any day now, or any time in the next million years -- though we won’t know about it for six centuries. Another celestial trio coming into prominence by the end of June is the famous Summer Triangle. Face east as night falls and you’ll find the bright stars Vega, Deneb and Altair. Though located in different constella- tions -- Cygnus the swan, Lyra the harp and Aquila the eagle -- the three rule the heavens on every summer night, with billions of stars of the Milky Way, our home galaxy, spiraling behind them.

Representatives from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation will be at One The Esplanade from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, June 28. On June 20, MPAC, which is responsi- ble for classifying a property and assess- ing its value, began mailing new proper- ty assessment notices to property taxpay- ers in Durham Region. Each notice shows the assessed value and classification of a property based on the legislated valuation date of Jan. 1, 2016, which is in place for the 2017-2020 property tax years. MPAC mails a property assessment notice to property owners in Ontario every four years. During non-assessment update years, MPAC continues to review properties as new homes are built, own- ers renovate, structures are removed and properties change use. Property owners can visit www.about- myproperty.ca to confirm their property details and compare their property with others in their neighbourhood. Login information is included with every notice mailed.

It is time to put away thoughts of formal dinners, wine analysis and wordy descriptions and get to some ‘lay back’, relaxing and easy living. With the onset of warmth, our palates seem to crave that which is light, refresh- ing and immediately pleasing. This goes for both food and beverage. Afternoon and evening treats such as sal- ads, cold cuts, grilled veggies and burgers can handle a wide assortment of accompa- niments. Of course this is about wine and here are some superb and very affordable suggestions for your backyard pleasure. White wine is always a ‘correct’, all-occa- sion wine. Prince Edward County produc- es some superbly refreshing Riesling. Casa Dea Estates produces a mouth-puckering example with crisp acidity and refresh- ing finish perfect for cold cuts, shrimp and scallops (available at winery $16.95). Eastdell Pinot Grigio from the Niaga- ra Peninsula (LCBO #65367, $13.95) has flavours of melon, pear, apple which will meld very well with grilled fresh water fish as well as grilled vegetables, cold cuts and barbecued pork. Another Pinot Grigio, but this time from Italy, is Villa Sandi (LCBO #580324, $10.95). It comes with fresh apple/lemon/ floral notes and ideal for afternoon sip- ping. France produces a lovely Languedoc Chardonnay from Laurent Miquel Pere et Fils (LCBO #157909, $12.95), with its apple, pear, melon and citrus flavours -- another light/crisp wine for either summer sipping or a nice chicken salad. From South Africa comes Boschendal’s The Pavillion Chenin/Viognier Blend (LCBO # 281311, $11) and it certainly makes an exceptional medium-bodied and crisp warm-weather taste and full of citrus, melon, pear flavours with nuances of peach and apricot. After a nice patio ‘barby’, nothing goes better than a fine sparkler such as Vene- to’s Villa Sandi Prosecco (LCBO # 394387, $14.60), with its fine mousse, peach, pear, lemon/lime and apple flavours. It is a wine to end the evening with and toast to the stars. For those that like red with their sum- mertime grill, Eastdell produces a very approachable and exceptional tasting Black Cabernet (LCBO # 609875, $13.95). It offers a unique blend of 40 per cent Baco Noir blended with 30 per cent each of Cab- ernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The smoke, black fruit and chocolate notes make it a great choice for grilled meat or pizza. I will have more on summer reds in the following articles. Meanwhile, get out there and enjoy the fine grilling weather. -- 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.

There’s nothing like a car pro blem to ruin a well-de served vacation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, you can take a few easy precautions to make your next trip unforgettable for all the right reasons. CHECK YOUR VEHICLE Having your vehicle checked before leaving home will make for a much more relaxing road trip. Ask your mechanic to check the condition and the pressure of the tires, the cooling system, engine uid ADVERTISING FEATURE levels and the state of the brakes. Make sure the headlights, turn signals and wind shield wipers work properly, and see to any necessary repairs. Have the air conditioning and cigarette lighter checked; the latter is very useful for recharging the GPS and cell phone. Take everything you need to change a tire in case of a at, and don’t forget to pack an emergency kit that in cludes a ashlight, blanket and jumper cables. YOUR PAPERS, PLEASE! Your vehicle registra tion, car insurance certi cate and driver’s li cense are es sen tial documents to have with you when you’re on the road. Make sure you have enough insurance coverage, especially if you plan to be dri ving out of the country. SAFETY 101 Pack the car properly; it’s a good idea to start the day before. For safety, distribute the weight equally and avoid pla cing luggage behind the passengers’ heads. Make sure that the car’s rst-aid kit is complete, and replace any out dated products. ONE LAST TIP: Before leaving, give a duplicate set of car keys to one of your passengers, just in case you get locked out. 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 • Ju n e 2 3 , 2 0 1 6 19 AP WH A T ’ S O N Music playing across Durham DURHAM -- Make music a part of your summer of 2016.

Made for Seniors Supplied photo OSHAWA -- Hip-hoppers Insane Clown Posse plays the Oshawa Music Hall on June 28. Insane Clown Posse plays Oshawa June 28 Juggalos will be out in full force for gig DURHAM -- Their videos often garner two or three million hits on YouTube and their rabid fans are known as Juggalos. They are Insane Clown Posse, Joseph Bruce (aka Violent J) and Joseph Utsler (aka Shaggy 2 Dope), and the face-paint- ed hip-hoppers are touring Canada for the first time in more than a decade, including a June 28 gig at Oshawa’s Music Hall. “Over the course of several Gold and Platinum albums, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope have shared their Dark Carnival mythology with the world, through their lyrics which range from the philosophic to the humorous and through their over-the- top live performances (the Clowns’ most infamous concert tradition: dousing the crowd with hundreds of gallons of Faygo soda),” states a press release. Visit themusichall.club for tickets. The Music Hall Nightclub and Concert Theatre is at 39 King St. E. DURHAM -- A local gallery has added five new members to its board of directors. Whitby’s Station Gallery announced this week that Sandra Austin, Greg Berube, Vidal Chavannes, Reema Chopra and Can- dace Darbyshire “are community members who bring a variety of diverse backgrounds, experience and skill sets to the SG Board.” “The team at Station Gallery is excited to welcome these new members to the board,” stated Station Gallery CEO Kerri King. “It’s wonderful to have such a broad range of tal- ented people from our community want to join and support Station Gallery.” Noel Mowat has been appointed board chairman, replacing James Ritchie, who served in the role for the past three years. Ritchie will remain on the board as past chairman for the coming year. The gallery said farewell and thank-you to past chair- man Greg Murphy and to Jim French, who was board treasurer for six years.

Oshawa native makes a BIG difference for LivingRoom art studio OSHAWA -- Kim Pickett wasn’t physical- ly at an Oshawa fundraising event, but she delivered some big news. Pickett is the creative director and principal of Vancouver-based KIMBO Design. An Oshawa native, she appeared via Skype at the LivingRoom Communi- ty Art Studio’s (LR) Little Art, BIG Differ- ence Secret Art Sale at Trent University Durham in Oshawa on June 16. The event was to raise funds, specifi- cally to pay the rent for the studio, at 149 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa. And Pickett announced she was donat- ing three months’ rent. “I want to give back to the people and place where I’m from, by helping fellow artists pursue their dreams just like I was able to, thanks to the amazing educa- tion I received in Oshawa,” the graphic designer said in a press release. “Such an incredible way to give back to the community that sparked her creativ- ity,” stated a post on the LR’s facebook page. Steve Longauer, a director on the LR board, was Pickett’s high school teach- er and inspired her to enter the creative industry. Learn more about the studio at living- roomcommunityartstudio.org. Jason Liebregts / Metroland OSHAWA -- Elaine Harvey looked over some artwork, before The LivingRoom Community Art Studio’s 3rd annual Little Art, BIG Difference Secret Art Sale held at Trent University. The event was a fundraiser for the non-profit studio in Oshawa. WHAT’S ON newsdurhamnewsdurhamnewsdurham If you’re looking for the best fish and chips in town, it’s time to head to First Choice Fish & Chips! The owners come from a family with a long tradition in making delicious fish and chips, and have now brought their unique family recipe to Ajax. Their previous restaurants received rave reviews and the new restaurant on Westney Road South is following in that tradition. The secret to their success is their fresh food, cooking techniques and refined recipes. They use 100% vegetable oil to make their meals healthier, use only the highest quality fish and hand cut all of the fish daily. You can taste the difference that using fresh fish makes! Their famous batter is based on an 80 year old recipe from England that has been refined over the years, making it perfect. Customers love that the batter is paper thin, delicately crispy and never greasy. A meal is not complete without chips, and First Choice Fish & Chips shows the same care for their chips as they do with their fish. First, they select the finest potatoes, which they hand cut and fry for just the right amount of time. The results are a flavourful tenderness locked inside a golden crispy shell. Customers are greeted with a cozy atmosphere and a friendly service. During the lunch hour, the restaurant adopts an open kitchen style to ensure that clients receive their orders in a timely manner. Ask about their customer appreciation card, which gives you a free one piece haddock and chips with the purchase of every 10 fish and chips. They also offer delicious sides, including onion rings, poutine, garden salads and Greek salads. You can also opt for seafood and chicken dishes. Despite their generous portion sizes and high quality meal, First Choice Fish & Chips still offers the lowest prices in Durham Region! Take out is also available. First Choice Fish & Chips is located at 570 Westney Road South, Unit #13. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. For more information, please call (905) 426-7001 or (905) 239-7050 FirstChoice Fish & Chips 570 Westney Rd.

But a garden that boasts plants that are edible and pleasing to the eye is a possibility as well. Planting an herb garden is a creative way to enjoy the sights, smells and tastes of a wide variety of plants. Using fresh-harvested herbs in culinary endeavors imparts a taste that dried spices cannot match. What’s more, fresh herbs are often easy to cultivate. Herbs are versatile, capable of lending great avor to foods while also playing different roles in personal health and beauty. Herbs can be grown to perfume homes and bodies. There are herbs that are also purported to help with ailments, from upset stomachs to anxiety. When planting an herb garden, you may want to pay particular attention to the types of avors and smells you like in your home and cooking. This will help you to narrow down the types of herbs you will plant. Many would-be herb gardeners tend to start small to see what luck they have when cultivating herbs. Herbs will grow best in well-prepared soil. Make sure that it is rich in organic matter and drains well. Also, for plants like parsley, be sure to have deep pots or dig deeply in the garden to establish long taproots. Until the weather warms up, you may want to begin herb cultivation indoors and then transfer plants outside during the summer. Basil, for instance, is a tropical plant that does well in warm conditions. Therefore, it will need to be kept away from drafts and get several hours of direct sunshine a day. With many herbs, leaf production will diminish on any stems that ower. It is essential to pinch off owers that form to encourage the herb plant to continue producing leaves, which are the parts of the plant most associated with seasoning and aroma.

Child obesity is a serious concern for healthcare professionals and the gov- ernment. Children’s play dates have become a Play Station marathon, and while par- ents complain about children spend- ing too much time on their cell phones and playing video games, I can’t help but wonder where these kids get their cell phones and video games? In my opinion, many parents are to be blamed for their child’s inactive lifestyle. I hear complaints about the cost of joining local sports programs, but is it really about cost? Sell that $800 iPhone if cost is an issue. What happened to taking your kids to the park, riding a bike or playing street hockey? I can’t recall the last time I heard a kid yell “car!” on my street. They claim it’s too dangerous to have your kids go outside to play because everyone is a potential creep waiting to snatch-up a child. They claim commu- nity sports has become too competi- tive and all the parents are crazy. These are all just weak excuses for not using common sense. Far too often physical activity is con- fused with high performance sports, and unfortunately for some kids, the reality is, the only activity they will ever get is if their parents enrol them in for- mal sports programs. What happened to simple play? I hear parents talk about all the junk food their kids eat, but I cannot recall seeing an eight year old paying for gro- ceries at the supermarket. Our government has mandated physical activity programs in schools, but expects them to be delivered by untrained educators who themselves might dislike physical activity. Parents need to stop making excus- es and take control of their children’s physical health. Kids need to be introduced to activ- ity at an early age because it’s high- ly unlikely that an inactive child will suddenly get the urge to exercise later in life. Former Olympian Tony Sharpe is head coach at The Speed Academy Athletics Club based in Pickering. Contact him at info@speedacademy.ca Tony Sharpe Guest columnist AJAX -- It wasn’t exactly a win-win for the Ironheads when they closed out the Jr. B lacrosse season with a 9-8 victory over Brampton on Monday. With it, the Ironheads (8-12) managed to avoid a playoff matchup with the first- place Gaels for a second straight year, but they now have to travel much farther to play an Akwesasne Indians (16-4) club that won the Founder’s Cup a year ago. “It’ll be a big challenge for sure, but we’re looking forward to it,” said coach Ron Reed, whose club lost only 11-9 in Akwesasne in the lone head-to-head meeting this season. “I think we can be very competitive with them. We just have to be consistent.” The Ironheads were led offensively by Jake Gilmour and Aidan Conlon, with 56 and 53 points respectively, and were solid defensively in front of veteran goal- ie Chris Steele, allowing the third fewest goals-against in the conference. The schedules weren’t set as of mid- week, but the Ironheads will play the first two games at the Anowarako:wa Arena near Cornwall June 25 and 26 and host the final three games as necessary, although Game 3 may not be at their usual Ajax Community Centre venue due to the Canada Day holiday. The Green Gaels will open the playoffs at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 25 against Brampton as part of Lacrosse Day In Durham Region at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. The best-of-five series will then shift between Brampton and Bowmanville. Ajax’s Prince off to Rio for soccer DURHAM — Courtice’s Allysha Chap- man and Ajax’s Nichelle Prince have been named to the Canadian wom- en’s soccer team that will be looking to match or better its bronze medal perfor- mance from the 2012 London Olympics. Chapman, a 27-year-old defender, and Prince, a 21-year-old forward, are among the 18 chosen to represent Cana- da at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games from August 5-21. Whitby goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan was also in the hunt for a roster spot, but lost out to Sabrina D’Angelo and Steph- anie Labbe. The team qualified at the 2016 CON- CACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying Championship in Texas in February, earning Canada its third consecutive Olympic berth in women’s soccer. Canada will be led by captain Chris- tine Sinclair, the country’s most capped international player (243) and all-time leading goal-scorer (162), second in the world behind American Abby Wam- bach, who retired with 184 goals. The average age of the team will be just over 25 years, ranging from 17-year- old Deanne Rose to 34-year-old Melissa Tancredi. “We will have to be at our best in every match to progress through this Olympic tournament,” said coach John Herdman in a Soccer Canada press release. “It will be about producing personal bests, and I believe that the combination of the young players that we’ve brought into the team and the culture that’s been created by the veterans, will give us a chance to really have a push in Rio.” Canada, ranked 10th in the world, will face Australia (5th), Zimbabwe (95th) and Germany (2nd) in Group F of the Rio tournament, looking for one of eight quarter-final berths among the 12 com- peting teams. “This will be my third Olympics and it is an honour every single time,” Sinclair said in the press release. “The young players coming into this Olympic squad have brought an energy and passion to our team and they have risen the bar. I am excited to do whatever I can to help take this team to the podium.” This will be the first Olympic appear- ance for both Chapman, who has rep- resented the national team in 32 games, and Prince, who has 16 international caps. Canada recently split a two-game home friendly series against Olympic host Brazil, and earlier won the Algarve Cup in Portugal for the first time in its history, beating Brazil 2-1 in the final. Ajax’s Candace Chapman, no relation to Allysha, was part of the bronze-medal team in London, but has since retired.

Justin Greaves / Metroland Eyes on the prize WHITBY -- Whitby Warriors’ Connor Laird scooped up the ball during a Jr. A lacrosse game against the Burlington Chiefs at Iroquois Park Sports Centre Tuesday. The Warriors beat the Chiefs 19-11 for their third straight win, moving them into a tie for seventh place with a record of 5-9. They face the Peterborough Lakers 5 p.m. Saturday as part of Lacrosse Day in Durham at Iroquois Park. HAGERSVILLE — The Major Series Lacrosse league is shaping up to be very interesting in one sense, and far from it in another this season. The interesting part is a fierce battle for first place between the Brooklin Redmen, Six Nations Chiefs, Peterborough Lakers and Oakville Rock, who entered play on Wednesday, June 22 separated by a single point through seven games. The Redmen and Chiefs went to over- time before deciding their outcome Tues- day, June 21 in Hagerville, where Six Nations (5-2) prevailed 9-7 to move into a three-way tie for first place with Peterbor- ough (5-2) and Oakville (5-2), and leaving Brooklin (4-2-1) a point back. The standings will shift again with games between the Redmen and Rock in Whitby on June 22, the Chiefs and Lakers on June 23 and then, as part of Lacrosse Day in Durham on Saturday, June 25, the Lakers and Redmen at 8 p.m. at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. What appears to be far less enticing for fans of the league is the fact those four teams are leaving the other two, Brampton (1-6) and Cobourg (0-6-1), in their dust in the battle for the four playoff berths avail- able. In Hagersville Tuesday, Mark Matthews had three goals and six points for the Red- men, who fought back from a 6-3 deficit in the third period to force overtime. Derek Hopcroft finished off a two-goal, four-point effort and put Brooklin ahead 28 seconds into OT, but the home side scored the final three, including one into an empty net with 18 seconds remaining. Dan Lintner and Shayne Jackson scored the other Brooklin goals, while Zach Hig- gins made 50 saves in defeat. It was the second half of a home-and- home between the two clubs, with the Red- men taking the other, 9-8 at Iroquois Park on June 15. Lintner had two goals and an assist in that one, as the Redmen built a 9-4 lead early in the third period before holding off a late Chiefs rally. Curtis Knight and Kevin Brownell chipped in with a goal and two assists each.

Coming off a rebuilding season in 2015- 16, after winning the Memorial Cup in 2015, the Generals will be looking to make major headway with the hope of perhaps bidding on the 2018 Memorial Cup, the 100th anni- versary of the national championship. The Generals open the season up north, in Sudbury Friday, Sept. 23 and Sault Ste. Marie the next night, before a home-and-home with the Petes, in Peterborough Sept. 28 and Oshawa Sept. 30. “It’s an exciting day to officially kick off the start of our 80th anniversary season,” said Roger Hunt, the team’s vice president and general manager, in a website press release. “Our home opener with Peterborough is another opportunity for our fans to be part of the strongest rivalry in junior hockey and we can’t wait to get started.” The Generals lost the bulk of their cham- pionship team last season, as well as head coach D.J. Smith, but managed to make it into the playoffs under new coach Bob Jones, with a record of 27-33-4-4, before being elim- inated in five games by the Kingston Fronte- nacs. Among the key players expected back this season are NHL draft picks Anthony Cirelli, the captain, and defenceman Mitchell Vande Sompel, who have both been invited to Team Canada’s World Junior Championship Sum- mer Training Camp. Jack Studnicka, a rookie last season, was also invited to Team Canada’s Under-18 Training Camp for the Ivan Hlinka Memori- al Tournament. Studnicka represented Team Canada Red last fall in the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, where he managed five points in six games. “I’m always proud when you see your play- ers recognized for their incredible hard work and dedication,” Hunt said a press release. “Our whole organization is behind these players as I know our fans will be too.” Oshawa Generals meet Peterborough Petes for 80th season home-opener 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 • Ju n e 2 3 , 2 0 1 6 28 AP Dealer Training The Great Blue Heron Charity Casino is offering a 5 week training program on Blackjack, BJ Switch, Spanish 21, 3 & 4 Card Poker, Let it Ride, Texas Bonus Poker and Mississippi Stud.
