CALL TODAY New Location Opening September 2016 Hundreds expected to take part, raise funds to battle disease DURHAM -- It’s a chance to raise money and awareness to help battle ovarian cancer. The Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope is being held for its sixth year in Ajax. Siabh McCarthy has been organizing the Ajax event since 2010 to honour the memory of her sister and sister-in-law. “With the support of family and friends, I decided to bring the walk closer to home for people living in Durham Region and sur- rounding communities who can’t attend the walk in Toronto due to illness and disease,” Ms. McCarthy noted. Her sister Brenda Ruest was 47 when she died and her sister-in-law Judy Hamilton was 43. Ms. McCarthy and her sister regularly took part in the ovarian cancer walk in Toronto. “My goal is to not only raise funds, but to raise awareness for women battling this dreaded disease,” Ms. McCarthy said. More than 17,000 women Canadian women are living with ovarian cancer each year. Each year, about 2,500 women are diag- nosed with the cancer and 1,700 die. Ms. McCarthy said ovarian cancer is one of the most fatal women’s cancers and is often not diagnosed soon enough. If detected late, the five-year survival rate is less than 30 per cent. Women living in Durham Region battling ovarian cancer and their families and friends could take part in a walk in their own back- yard, she said. There are more than 45 walks of hope held across Canada each year, with the aim of rais- ing funds to support ovarian cancer edu- cation, awareness, support programs and research. Last year, the event attracted more than 200 participants and more than $30,000 was raised. The goal this year is to raise $30,000. This year’s walk is being held on Saturday, Sept. 10 at Rotary Park, on Lake Driveway West, in Ajax. Participants can do 2.5 kilo- metre or five-km walks. There are also virtu- al walks for those who can’t take part on that day. Registration starts at 9 a.m. and the walk gets underway at 10 a.m. Registration can also be done online.

He died shortly after the crash. Another man was transported to hospital with serious injuries. The highway was closed while Ontario Pro- vincial Police investigators determined the circumstances of the crash. OPP are asking witnesses to the crash to contact them with details.

Content is protected by copyright. Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 OP I N I O N It’s obvious the punishment is not fit- ting the crime for distracted drivers. Durham Police spent three days last week on a safety blitz and the numbers are staggering. In Whitby alone, offi- cers handed out 75 tickets for distracted driving. In one instance, a driver was in her car beside a police vehicle at a stop light. The woman, while looking at her phone in sight of the officer, drove into the intersection before the light turned green. That was just one of the horror stories police passed on to local media. If you are caught using your cellphone while driving, you can be fined $490 and gain three demerit points. Ontario’s licence system adds demerit points to your driving record and once you receive between nine and 14 points, your licence can be suspended and you can be called in for an interview to explain why your licence should not be suspended. That interview costs $50. At 15 demerit points, your licence is automatically suspended for 30 days and if you don’t surrender your licence, you could lose it for up to two years. So with all that knowledge, why do drivers continue to take to the road with cellphones in their hands? We have all seen it. Someone is driving on the highway and their head suddenly bows down because they are reading a text. Or how many times have you been behind someone not moving when a light turns green because they are on the phone, engrossed in their conversa- tion? One current commercial involves a young man driving a car who looks down to read a text message. He is hit and we next see him paralyzed, sit- ting in a hospital room. It is a powerful image yet even that doesn’t stop people from distracted driving. Year after year, statistics are showing distracted driving is a leading cause of collisions, often more than drinking and driving. We often think a collision won’t hap- pen to us. We are too good of a driver. It’s a one-in-a-million shot. Yet almost each week, people across Canada hit that one-in-a-million shot by winning the lottery. It does and can happen. If $490 isn’t enough to get people to heed the rules, the fine should be dou- bled. Hit people in the wallet, where it hurts. New car manufacturers are doing what they can to make sure drivers pay attention to the road while driving. Now it’s up to us. Don’t let one minute of stupidity ruin the rest of your life and those of everyone driving around you. our opinion Harsher penalty needed to discourage distracted driving The Facebook dilemma: To stay or leave? column I recently read that North Ameri- cans, on average, spend more than three hours per day on social networks. That’s a stag- gering figure and one that has given me pause. I’m marginally social and I occa- sionally network but my online involvement isn’t anywhere close to that mark; I don’t tweet, pin or insta- anything. I am on Facebook, however, and I’m beginning to feel its grasping, needy claws slipping into my skin. Facebook can and does occasionally have its uses but by and large, if we’re being at all honest, it is a monumen- tally huge vacuum that sucks time and energy and gives very little of real value in return. And so I was wondering. Even if my social networking time were a half or a third of the national average, that’s still an hour a day. An hour a day that could unquestionably be put to much better use. Time spent in creative pursuits, physical, emotional or spiritual development. What if I meditated for an hour a day? Or what if I used that hour a day to really, truly con- nect with people who matter to me. An hour a day of silent, focused cor- respondence; sitting down at the key- board and reaching out to someone in a lengthy e-mail. Or even better, putting pen to paper and sending someone I care about a thoughtful, engaging missive. Imagine sending a letter a day to the people in your life who really matter to you? That’s life changing. I am old enough to remember what a thrill it was to receive a handwrit- ten letter. There is nothing quite like it. It stops you dead in your tracks and every time you read those words you are deeply connected to another human being. An hour a day could light up a lot of people. Finally, what if we took that an hour a day and simply called friends. No time limits, no preset agendas or rea- sons to call. Just picking up the phone and let- ting somebody hear your voice, tell- ing them you were thinking about them and hoping they’re OK. That you’re glad they’re around. You could go through a good chunk of your contact book in an hour of that. Sadly, this is now the most daunt- ing, and studiously avoided, of all of the forms of human interaction. We are terrified, it seems, of running out of things to say. How strange that we can fill a digi- tal void the size of a galaxy with innu- merable posts about cats, desserts and Donald Trump, but when a real, live person gives us their ear, we are stuck for words.

The stolen cargo van encountered “close to 100” vehicles as it sped west in the eastbound collector lanes between Brock and Meadowvale roads, causing some motorists to take evasive action, Durham police Sergeant Bill Calder said. “This is very dangerous behaviour,” Sgt. Calder said. “We’ve seen how this can become a fatal event in the past.” The incident began just before 10 p.m. Aug. 17 as a report of a suspected impaired driver on Hwy. 401, police said. Officers located the white van, which had been reported stolen from York Region, in a Tim Hortons parking lot at Liverpool Road and Bayly Street. As cops arrived, the van sped away on Bayly, entering eastbound 401 lanes at Whites. The van exited at Brock, then stopped and pulled a U-turn on the ramp, driving back toward a police cruiser that had been in pursuit, police said. The van struck the cruiser then continued down the ramp, entering the eastbound lanes and proceeding west- bound. The driver of the van kept the vehicle on the shoulder of the highway for the most part, but at times entered live lanes, Sgt. Calder said. “Officers’ notes indicate that close to 100 vehicles may have been passed during the incident," he said. “They had to take evasive action. There were areas where it was very dangerous.” The van left the freeway at Meadowvale, where it struck a guardrail. A man fled on foot but was arrested a short dis- tance away, police said. Jesse Teel, 31 of Glass Drive, Aurora, faces a number of charges including dangerous driving, failing to stop, pos- session of stolen property, driving without a licence and breach of probation. Aurora man faces multiple charges after wrong-way pursuit on Hwy. 401 in Pickering In-person public consultation sessions will kick off next month and take place in 18 cities across Canada Parvaneh Pessian ppessian@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Creating a more accessible Canada begins with identifying roadblocks to inclusion, and who better to do that than the people faced with those barriers every day in communities across the country. Carla Qualtrough, Canada’s minister of sport and per- sons with disabilities, was at the Abilities Centre in Whitby on Aug. 23 to announce the launch of an in-person consul- tation process that the federal government is undertaking to inform planned legislation on accessibility. Ms. Qual- trough, a former Paralympic swimmer has been mandat- ed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to lead the engage- ment process over the next few months with stakeholders -- including Canadians with disabilities, provinces, territo- ries and municipalities -- working toward the passage of a Canadians with Disabilities Act. “We must consider the needs of Canadians with disabili- ties in every aspect of society. We need to create services, workplaces, transit systems and communities that consider accessibility at the outset ... we want to incorporate acces- sibility in every sense of the word into everything we build and everything we use,” she said. “This shift, both monumental and simple at once, will be a game-changer. To start, we need a legal framework that protects and promotes accessibility.” During her visit, Ms. Qualtrough toured the 125,000-square-foot, fully accessible Abilities Centre and hosted a panel discussion with three young Canadian inno- vators on how accessibility drives innovation. She pointed to measures that have been taken at the facility to ensure inclusiveness for all visitors as a model for other communi- ties in Canada. “This space and this community are true examples of what we can do when we start from a place of inclusion and keep opportunity in mind,” she said. “You had a vision in your community for what inclusion could look like and you’ve made that vision a reality, and it makes me very proud to be a Canadian and it makes me very proud and confident that with the consultation pro- cess that we’re embarking on, we’re going to affect real change.” About 14 per cent of Canadians aged 15 years or older report having a disability that limits them in their daily activities, according to the federal government. There are about 411,600 working-aged Canadians with disabilities who are not working but whose disability does not prevent them from doing so; nearly half of these potential workers are post-secondary graduates. In-person public sessions, including roundtables and town halls, will be held in 18 cities across the country from September to December. Ms. Qualtrough encouraged all Canadians to have their say in the process, either by attend- ing an in-person engagement session or by participating in the online consultation until February 2017.

Ajax man among those facing charges OSHAWA -- A man attempting to evade arrest in a gun and drug investigation by Durham Regional Police rammed several cruisers with his vehicle on Aug. 19. In total, five people were charged in the investigation. Police executed warrants at two resi- dences on Friday, Aug. 19 as part of the investigation. The first warrant was exe- cuted at a home on Grand Ridge Avenue near Harmony Road in Oshawa. That’s when the cruisers were rammed. Police seized approximately $18,000 in cash in relation to proceeds of crime. Axel, a police dog specially trained in firearm detection, helped officers find and seize a sawed-off shotgun and ammunition at second residence on Sim- coe Street North. Abeeku Arhin, 22, of Simcoe Street North in Oshawa, faces three charges including trafficking cocaine, possession of the proceeds of crime, dangerous driv- ing and fail to comply with recognizance. Four other people were arrested and charged as part of the investigation. Cindy Kerlow, 51, of Sorrento Avenue in Oshawa, and George Lund, 31, of East Townline Road in Clarington, are both charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana. Daniel Campbell-Johnson, 21, of Lucas Lane in Ajax, and Kelly Mendoza, 21, of John Tabor Trail in Scarborough, both face various firearm charges.

Durham police arrest five people in drug and gun investigation in Oshawa CNSC gives Darlington highest safety rating seven years in a row TORONTO -- The Canadian Nuclear Safe- ty Commission (CNSC) has given Ontario Power Generation’s Pickering and Darling- ton nuclear stations its highest possible safety ratings. The 2015 Nuclear Safety Report gave Pickering Nuclear its best ever rating of ‘Fully Satisfactory,’ while Darlington Nuclear achieved the same grade, which its now received for the seventh year in a row. Combined, the plants provide about 30 per cent of the electricity used in Ontar- io. “Providing clean energy while protecting the environment, the public and our staff is our priority,” said Glenn Jager, OPG’s nuclear president and chief nuclear officer. “It’s paramount we operate our nuclear facilities safely, and this 2015 assessment validates OPG’s commitment to a culture of safety.” Darlington Nuclear’s ‘Fully Satisfactory’ rating is the strongest continuous perfor- mance by any Canadian nuclear power plant. This was supported by the World Association of Nuclear Operators this past June, when it maintained the station’s standing among the top performing nucle- ar power plants in the world. In January, OPG and the minister of ener- gy announced a $12.8 billion investment in refurbishing Darlington. The refurbish- ment of the first of four units will begin this October. As Canada’s largest clean power project, it will preserve about 3,000 jobs and provide 30-plus years of clean, reliable base load power at a cost lower than other alternatives considered. OPG will con- tinue operating the Pickering station until 2024 to ensure base load electricity during refurbishment.

She explains the organization recent- ly conducted 100 beach cleanups along Lake Ontario for the Love Your Lake project, which was made possible with a grant from the Ministry of the Environ- ment. From mid-May to late July, vol- unteers picked up 75,692 pieces of lit- ter between Niagara Falls and Kingston, meticulously documenting each piece of waste. Durham beaches yielded more than 15,000 pieces of litter after cleanups in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington. Volunteers like Whitby’s Blue Dot group helped in some locations while in other locations it was just Ms. Archibald and her sister. The idea wasn’t just to clean- up the beaches, but to understand where the litter was coming from and to come up with ideas to reduce it. “A lot of people when they think of lit- tering, they think of people who are com- pletely ignorant and throw stuff on the ground when it’s not always the case,” said Ms. Archibald. It can be the wind or animals spreading waste from public waste bins or debris washing ashore on the beach. “Sometimes it’s through the sewage when the sewage (treatment system) gets bypassed, like the tampon applicators and needles a lot of people flush,” she said. In fact, as a result of the cleanups Ms. Archibald started a petition calling on manufacturers to switch from selling plastic tampon applicators to biodegrad- able ones. “We kept finding them,” she said. “For a single use item that’s used for less than 10 seconds plastic is not a good idea.” A change.org petition on the issue aimed at Tampax has garnered 8,900 sig- natures. One of the most ubiquitous items was cigarette butts which were found on every beach the group cleaned up in Dur- ham. A Greener Future already conducts Butt Blitzes to pick up cigarette butts but clearly the public hasn’t gotten the mes- sage cigarette butts are litter. “People think they’re not litter, they think they’ll biodegrade but they’re made of plastic,” said Ms. Archibald referring to typical cigarette filters. In fact, one of the largest sources for cigarette butts in Durham was Ajax’s Pickering Beach Park which the group nicknamed ‘butt beach’ after gathering 700 cigarette butts. As well as being unsightly, discarded cigarette butts can be toxic to wildlife, explains Ms. Archibald. The organization focused on public spaces which already see cleanup efforts from municipal workers. “All of the places we went to are cleaned by the cities but that didn’t make a differ- ence,” said Ms. Archibald. Dru Chillingworth, Oshawa’s manager of parks operations, explains City staff put a lot of effort into keeping beaches clean. The number one priority is the beach at Lakeview Park where three staff mem- bers spend an hour and a half to two hours cleaning the beach every morn- ing in the summer time, picking up lit- ter. The sand beach is also raked and staff use a sandscreener in the volleyball area. “The cigarette butts are probably the worst ... the other things are like bottle caps, cans, it’s a lot of water bottles, those sorts of things,” he said. In recent years Mr. Chillingworth said he has seen some improvement, mainly in people starting to sort their garbage and recycling where the bins are avail- able but City staff still have to spend a great deal of time cleaning the City’s parks and beaches. Members of the pub- lic continue to litter or dump garbage in and around City trash cans including items like roof shingles and tires. Ms. Archibald would like to see peo- ple consider what they’re bringing to the beach and to the parks. “Even if you have good intentions and put it in the garbage, the wind and the animals can pull it out,” she said. “So minimizing waste can stop it at the source.” Instead of a bottle of water where the cap easily ends up in the sand, bring a reusable bottle, she suggests. Smokers can carry a small pocket ashtray. In her own home Ms. Archibald makes every effort to minimize waste, often opt- ing to avoid packaged items at the store. When she does that, she’s thinking of her infant son. “It’s important for us because we don’t want to be filling the landfill because one day when he grows up, who knows what kind of planet he’ll have,” she said. At the end of the day, Mr. Chillingworth would like to see more consideration from beach and park users. “You don’t want to come to a messy beach anymore than you should want to leave it messy for the next person,” he said. Ms. Archibald ultimately believes the solution is residents taking ownership of their community. “They think if they throw something on the ground the city will pick it up or someone else and that’s not how it should be,” she said. “Everyone should be part of the community and care for it.” cleanup breakdown Whitby 2,599 pieces of litter in three cleanups Weird items: jar of coconut oil, a push broom, a hydro pole Pickering 4,080 pieces of litter in five cleanups Weird items: fake flowers, metal tongs, underwear Ajax 3,255 pieces of litter in five cleanups Weird items: mouth guard, fake hotdog, reptile calcium supplement Oshawa 3,848 pieces of litter in five cleanups Weird items found: Subway watch, pages from a book about a bear attack, drug bag labelled LSD Clarington 1,459 pieces of litter in three cleanups Weird items: shotgun shells, door hinge, cooking instructions for chicken CIGARETTES from page 1 Cigarette butts largest source of litter on Durham beaches Discarded: what they found on the Durham waterfront Supplied photos DURHAM -- All manner of litter was collected from a Durham beach cleanup for the Love Your Lake project. 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 • Au g u s t 2 5 , 2 0 1 6 11 AP TOMORROW ONLY!

OSHAWA -- Durham Regional Police have laid mischief charges in connection with a hoax phone call about an armed person on at Durham Region Transit bus. Police tactical officers surrounded the PULSE bus around 5:40 p.m. Aug. 18 on Bond Street at Park Road after receiving a call from an unknown person that an armed person was seen boarding the bus. Police used a bullhorn to call the passen- gers from the bus one by one and then inter- viewed them, a witness said. The bus was safely evacuated and officers determined the suspect was not on the bus. Further investigation revealed the call was a hoax and may have been related to a similar unfounded call in Whitby on Aug. 17. Officers identified a suspect and made an arrest. Sonny Glenn, 31, of Richmond Street West in Oshawa, has been charged with two counts of public mischief. He was held for a bail hearing.

Last few weeks? This summer? I’ve had an informal monarch watch going on with friends and readers, and it’s gotten to the point that we cheer whenever someone reports spot- ting even one. In early August, Wilhelmina Wicha of Newcastle told me she’d seen two coming to the 25 milk- weed plants she raised in her yard from last year’s seeds. But driving to Sudbury and back, she didn’t see any. Norbert Woerns, a friend in Tobermory, saw lots last year migrating along the Lake Huron shoreline, but this year, so far, zero. I’ve seen a total of nine monarchs all summer, including rare individ- uals stopping off to nectar in the 300+ zinnias blooming in my gar- den, just waiting for them -- when in years gone by we had great clouds of monarchs. The biggest cheer went up when Glenn Coady told me he’d seen a dozen or so moving along Darling- ton Beach recently. By the end of August, when the Cranberry Marsh Hawk Watch gets under way, we’ll get regular reports of monarch numbers and move- ments. But so far it’s not looking good for these beautiful orange and black butterflies that migrate from Canada to Mexico. Neonicotinoids and a thou- sand other poisons; endless miles of genetically modified crops sprayed with herbicides that kill roadside wildflowers; illegal log- ging in mountains of Mexico; severe storms and climate change -- monarchs have too many road- blocks in their way, all human caused. The latest blow is the rapid spread of dog-strangling vine -- black swallowwort -- introduced from Europe, a close enough cous- in to our native milkweeds for monarchs to lay their eggs on, only to have their caterpillars starve to death. Lots of people are alarmed, lots of agencies are trying to address the problems. I was heartened to hear about one continent-wide effort to try and rescue our beleaguered butterflies, the Mayors Monarch Monarch butterfly becoming a rare sight in Durham Butterfly Pledge. The National Wildlife Federation approached town leaders across the eastern U.S. and southern Canada to sign on for saving monarchs, doing all they can to make their munici- pality a welcoming butterfly stop- over. “Islands of milkweed” are desperately needed, and may be the one thing that keeps the spe- cies going. I was delighted to find two Durham Region mayors have already jumped on board, signed the pledge and taken action: Don Mitchell of Whitby and David Ryan of Pickering. Kudos to both! Monarchs may be the canary in the coal mine. I sorely miss seeing them flit by on the August breeze. To view pledge signatories and learn how you can help, google Mayors Monarch Pledge or Gar- den for Wildlife. Nature queries: mcarney@inter- links.net or 905-725-2116.

Pickering library to host hobby nights starting in September Angels look to help Durham businesses DURHAM -- Some angels are look- ing to spark the fortunes of local entrepreneurs. The Spark Angel Network sup- ports new businesses in Durham Region and Northumberland by providing financial help to aid busi- ness growth. “We want to be the people that we needed 30 years ago,” said Malcolm MacTaggart, execu- tive director of the Spark Angel Net- work, “and we want to keep our sup- port local to the many entrepreneurs developing out of the Durham and Northumberland regions.” Mr. MacTaggart is joined as an angel by Garry Innanen and Frank Auddino. They in turn have about 40 members on the network, who meeting monthly with entrepre- neurs. Spokesman Kyle Craner said the angels meet once a month and “lis- ten to three entrepreneurs or small startups. They find one they think has a high growth opportunity.” For entrepreneurs “looking for a funding outlet, it’s a good opportu- nity for them,” Mr. Craner noted. The group meets in Ajax and entrepreneurs “have 15 minutes to pitch their business to the board members.” The board members then meet alone and decide who they want to invest in. In addition to providing financial help, the network also offers men- toring and supporting new busi- nesses through coaching and train- ing so they have a chance at success.

OSHAWA -- An Oshawa man is facing aggravated assault charges after two peo- ple were injured with a knife at a house party early Sunday morning. Police were called to Cherryhill Street at roughly 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 21. Accord- ing to officers, there was a fight outside a house party where one man was slashed with a knife and a second man was stabbed. A suspect fled before police arrived, but officers used the K9 unit to track a man to a wooded area near Bloor Street East and Grandview Street where he was arrested. A 20-year-old man was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for slash wounds. A 19 year old was taken to a local hospital and later transferred to a Toron- to-area trauma centre with serious but non-life-threatening stab wounds. Troy Marr, 27, is charged with aggravat- ed assault, assault causing bodily harm and possession of a weapon. He was held for a bail hearing. Anyone with new information should call Detective-Constable. Stuart of the East Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1634. Anonymous information can be sent to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www. durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward.

Every year roughly 12,200 people are hospitalized and 3,500 die from complications of the flu, according to Health Canada. Fortunately, there are a number of simple precautions you can take to help maintain good immune and overall health during flu season. How important is it to get vaccinated? How effective are flu vaccines? Depending on how well the vaccine is matched to this year’s common viruses, 70 to 90 per cent of flu cases can be averted through vaccination. These days, you can get vaccinated by an injection-certified pharmacist. In addition to getting vaccinated, what are some preventative measure people can take? Getting between seven and eight hours of sleep each night, drinking plenty of fluids, eating healthy foods, and staying active will go a long way in staying healthy throughout the cold and flu season. But perhaps the most effective means of avoiding the flu is as easy as practicing good hygiene and washing your hands regularly with soap and water. What should we be eating during flu season? Citrus fruits, beans and legumes, nuts and seeds, garlic, and seafood should be staples on everyone’s grocery list. These items contain vitamins and nutrients that are important to maintaining good health and immune function.” Are there specific vitamins people should be looking for? Knowing which vitamins are found in which foods will help you make the right food choices. For example, while it may be common knowledge that citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, many people may not be aware that nuts and seeds contain vitamin E, or that beans and legumes are rich in zinc. All these vitamins and minerals are essential for maintaining good health and immune function, which is especially important during flu season. Although we all feel the effects of the flu, young children and the elderly are the most vulnerable. We all share a duty to these vulnerable populations to do everything within our power to stop the spread of influenza.

A man with a metal detector discovered the shell at about 8 p.m. on the Whitby- Oshawa border. The bomb was safely det- onated shortly after 8 a.m. on Aug. 24. The man took a picture of the casing and sent it off to a family member, who explained what the device was and told the man to call police. “To his credit, he called police and stayed with it until we arrived,” said Sgt. Bill Calder of Durham Regional Police. “He told people walking by to stay away and took it upon himself to make sure people weren’t venturing near it.” Intrepid Park is on the site of Camp X where spies were secretly trained during the Second World War. Camp X author and historian Lynn Phil- lip Hodgson says the two-inch mortar bomb was likely buried during an aircraft training exercise. “It’s been buried since probably 1943,” he said. Mr. Hodgson explained that Camp X was a no-fly zone during the war, but instruc- tors at the camp had access to Tiger Moth aircraft from the Oshawa airport, which they used for rudimentary training exer- cises. “It was very likely dropped from the Tiger Moth,” said Mr. Hodgson, who has photo- graphs of the planes dropping bombs over the camp. “It does relate directly back to those training photographs from 1943.” Mr. Hodgson says casings of bullets that were shot into the bluffs near Camp X have been found in the past, and are on display at the Camp X collection in Dur- ham Region’s headquarters, but he has never seen a bomb from there before. “That’s the first time I’ve seen unex- ploded ordinance from there,” he said. The area was cordoned off until the bomb unit disposed of the mortar shell.

Fifty-three have been selected for this year’s festival, representing 18 coun- tries and including seven from local filmmakers. “It’s films you would not have a chance to see anywhere else in the world,” says Emily Barker of Durham’s economic development and tourism department. “There are amazing films from all over the world.” New this year is a venue change, make that expansion: in addition to Oshawa’s Regent Theatre and the Docville movie set in Clarington, Oshawa’s Robert McLaughlin Gallery and Ajax’s St. Fran- cis Centre are now a part of the event. Awards will be announced at the festival’s closing event at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery on Sept. 18. The categories are: Best Animated Short; Best Feature Film; Best Documenta- ry Short; Best Documentary Feature; Best Short Film; Best Student Film and Best Regional Film. As well, there is a People’s Choice Award and Barker says “anyone who goes to the festival can vote for their favourite film.” In addition to the international works, local filmmakers are a part of the festi- val. The offerings include By Accident and Much Love Scott submitted by Oshawa’s Carla Sinclair, Acceptance by Brooklin’s Alex Mazurenko, Obsessions, Progressions and Expectations by Ajax’s Jennifer Hardy, AlgoRhythm1 sub- mitted by Aleksi Moriarty of Whitby, Another Way Out by Anna Gutmanis of Pickering, and The Food We Eat: Back to the Basics of Farming submitted by Oshawa’s Robert Fisher. The festival setup is a bit different this year, Barker notes. The festival opening night is Sept. 16 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Regent Theatre, 50 King St. E., and includes screenings of short documentaries and a feature documentary film. On Sept. 17, it’s a full-day family- friendly event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Docville Wild West Movie Set, 816 North St./Regional Rd. 17, Newcastle. It’s an Old West film and TV shoot- ing location and there will be film screenings in the barn, movie produc- tion activities and workshops on the grounds, plus food trucks. Barker says this is an opportunity for festival goers to not only watch a film, but see how one is made and be a part of it. “They can go on camera or be a part of the crew,” she says, adding the film will be screened at the end of the day. The festival returns to the Regent Theatre on Sept. 18 from noon to 3 p.m. with a program of short documentaries. Also on Sept. 18, at Ajax’s St. Francis Centre, 78 Church St. S., from 1:30 to 5 p.m., there are screenings of student films from around the world to be fol- lowed by a reception hosted by the Town of Ajax.

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.

His family seemed surprised to see all of the attendees who came to remem- ber him, but they shouldn’t have been. Bill was probably best known in the Dur- ham Region community as the founder of Nurse Chevrolet Cadillac. But he was also someone who continuously, and with passion, gave back to his commu- nity: these were people whose lives he’d touched and who were there to simply acknowledge that fact and to thank the family for sharing him with us. I first met Bill and Mae Nurse some 25 years ago when I began working at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery as the assis- tant curator. The pair held something of a mythic status for me: they were, I was told, the power couple behind the Arthur Erickson renovation and expan- sion of the gallery building that opened its doors in 1987. Mae was the building committee chair- woman while Bill was campaign manag- er (and yes, they did intimidate me, just a little!). In speaking to the RMG’s previous director, Joan Murray, she recalled Mae and Bill tirelessly working on the build- ing and its campaign for more than three years. There wasn’t a detail that escaped their attention and it shows to this day. As Joan remembers, Mae and Bill didn’t just give of their time, they were also generous in giving financially to the campaign, as well as convincing many of their friends to do the same. Joan had accompanied Bill to differ- ent meetings with potential donors. The visit would be pleasant and Bill would leave gallery information behind. In the car, Joan would be somewhat incredu- lous: “Bill, you didn’t ask them for any- thing!” And Bill would reply that all they needed was the information. And he’d be right. Donations came in. The RMG building is part of Bill’s leg- acy, and that legacy goes far beyond its bricks and mortar. Bill saw the gallery’s importance as a fixture in the commu- nity: a place for art lovers of all kinds to gather, for children to create during school trips, a safe home for an impor- tant collection of Canadian art. As our glasses were raised last month, we at the RMG symbolically do the same today and say, “to Bill!” --- Linda Jansma is the senior curator at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery The RMG building is part of Bill’s legacy, and that legacy goes far beyond its bricks and mortar. Bill saw the gallery’s importance as a fixture in the community. 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 • Au g u s t 2 5 , 2 0 1 6 26 AP WHAT’S ON Robert McLaughlin Gallery senior

Meghan Patrick looking good in sweats for Roots Canada Musician chosen for #sweatstyle campaign CLARINGTON -- It’s no secret that Meghan Patrick sounds great, but she looks darn fine in sweats as well. The Bowmanville musician, formerly of The Stone Sparrows, is part of a Roots Can- ada advertising campaign, #sweatstyle, promoting a new line of clothing. It fea- tures emerging Canadian music talents, including singer Ruth B, the duo Humans, French-Canadian singer Charlotte Cardin and indie rock guitarist Scott Helman. “Meghan has quickly made a name for herself since signing to Warner Music Can- ada,” states a press release. “She has recently signed a publishing deal with Olé Nashville. Her debut album, Grace and Grit, was released in April of this year. To make this album, Meghan travelled to a number of studios in Cana- da and America, including the capital city of country music, Nashville. On the way, she worked with producers Justin Niebank (Vince Gill, LeAnn Rimes), Vince Gill, Chris Baseford (Nickelback, Avril Lavigne) and Carly McKillip. “The songs Meghan writes are about real-life situations and are both personal and autobiographical. They are story songs, but they are her stories which infuse the material with an authenticity and sincerity that is palpable.” The campaign officially launched last week to mark the 43rd anniversary of Roots.

Uxbridge’s Jennifer Carroll brings Lucy Maud Montgomery to life Shane MacDonald smacdonald@durhamregion.com UXBRIDGE -- Uxbridge actor Jennifer Carroll brings Lucy Maud Montgomery to life in the one-woman play Maud of Leaskdale. “It’s like Jennifer Carroll is channel- ling Lucy Maud Montgomery,” said Barb Pratt, vice-president of the Lucy Maud Montgomery Society of Ontario. The play, which will be performed over six dates starting Aug. 18, was written by Conrad Boyce using Montgomery’s own words from her personal journals to tell the story of her time in Leaskdale. “It tells her life, the ups and downs, the tragedies and happiness of her life,” Pratt said. Performed in the Historical Leask- dale Church, where Montgom- ery’s husband was a minister, the story of the Anne of Green Gables author resonates with Carroll, the Uxbridge actor who brings it all to life. “I can really get a sense of who she was,” Carroll said of performing Mont- gomery’s own words in the place she spent a lot of her time. “It is such a treat for me as an actor, to have something so concrete to grab onto is amazing.” Performing Montgomery’s own life offers Carroll a rewarding experience. “The role gives you everything, she is just such a complicated character, what’s amazing to me is it’s all real,” Carroll said, adding that playing a non-fiction character makes her feel a responsibil- ity to portray her well. “I try my best to bring her to life as honestly as possible.” For more information on the dates of the play and to buy tickets, visit startick- eting.com .

There are many different brand names of these tapes, but most share similar properties and are used for comparable things. These strips of tape are made of coloured elastic cotton with an acrylic adhesive that is safe to use on the skin. There are many positive effects claimed by different tape providers, but consistently pain relief and the stimula- tion of proprioception is stated. If an athlete has a non-structural injury (i.e. muscle strain) that is hindering per- formance, the tape can be applied along the muscle and anchored on the attach- ing joint to stimulate motion via the tape’s recoiling elastic properties. Providers claim this helps with decreasing pain levels by giving external support, while not interfering with range of motion or flexibility. Proprioception is created by the tape stretching and contracting while the athlete is moving. This sensation gives the brain a sense of the relative position of the body segment where the tape is applied. Providers claim this proprio- ceptive sensation helps prevent the body from over-stretching or contracting an injured muscle, preventing further impairment to the area. The small circular bruises seen on Michael Phelps’ upper back and shoul- ders is an alternative medicine tech- nique known as cupping. Using a glass cup skin is pulled away from the body via suction generated either by heating the cup or using an attached mechanical pump. The cup is usually left in place for a period of time generating local inflam- mation. It is believed cupping can help with treating local pain, scar tissue and tight knotted muscles. Cupping is gen- erally safe and is often done by trained acupuncture providers. It is now the norm that elite athletes have skilled manual therapist working with them on a regular basis not only for injuries, but to keep their bodies in opti- mal biomechanical condition to perform at the highest levels possible.

He would later add a silver in the 200m and another bronze in the 4x400m relay. De Grasse is still growing Pickering coach Tony Sharpe says the best has yet to come for sprinting sensation Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com PICKERING — While most of the rest of the country was wowed and sur- prised by Andre De Grasse’s stirring three-medal performance at the Rio Olympics, the man who discovered the sprinting sensation was left to wonder if he could have done even a little bit better. Tony Sharpe, founder and head coach of the Speed Academy athletics club in Pickering, said he had all the confidence in the world the 21-year- old upstart could have come away the victor in both the 100m and 200m sprints, Usain Bolt or no Usain Bolt. “For me, if you’ve ever been around him and coached him, it doesn’t sur- prise you that he would medal at the Olympics,” said Sharpe, an Olympic medallist himself, with Canada’s relay team at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. “The real magic didn’t actually hap- pen, because I actually thought Andre could potentially win. I really believed that, that’s how talented he is.” De Grasse ended up with a silver medal in the 200m, running a 20.02 to Bolt’s 19.78 in the final, and bronze medals in both the 100m, in a personal best time of 9.91, and the 4x100m relay, where his strong finishing kick pro- duced a national record time of 37.64. He also set a national record of 19.80 in the 200m during the semifinals. While it seems those efforts would have been difficult to top, Sharpe points out his former prodigy has run better times in the past, 9.7 in the 100m and 19.5 in the 200m, but with slightly illegal winds at his back. “If you know the sport, you know he can do that,” said Sharpe. “The winning time (in the 100m) was 9.81. He can run that. And 19.7 wins the gold medal (in the 200m)? Andre can run that … Being the type of guy I am and know- ing the sport, I’m happy and excited, I think it’s great what he’s achieved, but I always know there’s so much more there. That’s what’s kind of exciting for me, is the fact that I know this guy has run faster and he will run faster, you know God bless and he stays healthy.” Sharpe has been touting De Grasse’s potential since he first laid eyes on him four years ago, a story that was told and retold many times during the Olympics. He showed up early for a 400m race that one of his club athletes was competing in, and saw the scraw- ny Markham teen finish second in the 100m race from a standing start in bas- ketball shorts and shoes. De Grasse was soon recruited to the Speed Academy, where Sharpe called him the most talented sprinter he had ever seen, then breezed his way through two years at Coffeyville Com- munity College before transferring to the University of Southern California for his junior season in 2015. After bursting on to the international stage by winning a bronze medal at last year’s world championship, De Grasse signed a multi-year deal with Puma worth $11.25-million US and delayed his senior year at USC to prepare for the Olympics, but he plans to finish his sociology degree in the fall. Sharpe says it’s that type of long-term thinking that he preaches to all his ath- letes. “We had a plan for him on the track and off the track that worked out to be brilliant,” said Sharpe. “He’s going to finish his degree at USC, which is a massive achievement, a top-25 aca- demic institution in North America. And then he’s doing what he’s doing on the track. That doesn’t come without a plan and a lot of commitment.” Sharpe has little to do with De Grasse’s coaching now, and has had no contact with him since his break- through Olympics, but he still watch- es with keen interest and expects the medals to be golden four years down the road in Tokyo providing he stays healthy and surrounds himself with the right people. “He’s magical, I keep saying that, but the real magic, we haven’t seen it yet,” he said. “It’s coming.” 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 • Au g u s t 2 5 , 2 0 1 6 29 AP LIVE RACING - MAy to oCtobER off-tRACk WAGERING ~ ALL yEAR ‘RouNd’ 50 Alexander’s Crossing,Ajax ON • 905.686.8001 for complete details go to www.ajaxdowns.com Watch for our Great Summer Event Line Up August Events Aug 7th –Craft brewery day – Brock St Brewery,Cameron’s Brewery, Bobcaygeon Brewing Co.,Flying Monkeys BrewingCo.,Lake WilcoxBrewing Co.,Henderson’s BrewingCo.

Otherwise, it was a mixed bag of results, ranging from Brooklin mountain biker Emily Batty falling one spot shy of the podi- um to a heart-breaking Olympics for Ajax athlete Chanice Taylor-Chase. Chapman and Prince were part of Can- ada’s repeat bronze-medal effort on the pitch, where the Canadian team defeated host Brazil 2-1 Aug. 19 to match the result four years earlier in London. Chapman, a 27-year-old defender, returned from a shoulder injury sustained in the quarter-finals to play in the final 31 min- utes of the game, while Prince, a 21-year-old striker, didn’t get into the medal match. Whitby’s Kailen Sheridan, 21, was also with the team in Brazil as an alternate goal- keeper. Canada won all three games in group play and defeated France 1-0 in the quarter-final before falling in the semifinals 2-0 to Ger- many, the No. 2-ranked team in the world and eventual gold medallist. Batty, 28, fell a mere two seconds shy of a medal in the women’s cross country moun- tain bike race Aug. 20, finishing the hour- and-a-half long race just behind Canadi- an teammate and bronze medallist Catha- rine Pendrel. Sweden’s Jenny Rissveds and Poland’s Maja Wloszczowska comfortably won the gold and silver medals respectively. Batty, who finished 24th in London after breaking her collarbone and a rib in train- ing three days before the race, has vowed to return to the Tokyo Games in 2020. Taylor-Chase, just 23, is also surely look- ing to Japan for redemption after having a tough go of it in Rio. She fell in her 400m hurdles race Aug. 15 and failed to reach the semifinals and had to be replaced in the 4x400m relay after injuring herself in warmup Aug. 19. Pickering’s Nikkita Holder, in her second straight Olympic Games, also fell in her 100m hurdles semifinals, ending her hopes of reaching the final. She had qualified in 20th place after running a season-best 12.92 in the qualifying round. Oshawa’s Matt Hughes, 27, was well off his personal best in the 3000m steeplechase, but finished in 10th place in the Aug. 17 final after qualifying in 11th place two days earlier. Whitby’s Kelita Zupancic, 26, won her first Olympic judo match in the -70kg weight division, but lost her next two bouts to come home empty-handed. Just like four years earlier in London, Zupancic’s gold-medal hopes were dashed by the eventual cham- pion, this year in extended time against Japan’s Haruka Tachimoto in the quarter- finals. Uxbridge native Jessica Phoenix, also competing at her second straight Olympics, finished 38th in individual eventing with her horse, A Little Romance, and was part of Canada’s 10th-place team finish. Whitby’s Brenda Bowskill secured Cana- da’s best-ever result in women’s laser radial sailing, finishing 16th place among 37 com- petitors. The 24-year-old first-time Olympi- an’s best results among her 10 races were a pair of ninth-pace finishes. Ajax’s Keegan Pereira, also an Olympic rookie, scored in Canada’s first men’s field hockey game, a 6-2 loss to Germany, but the team managed only a tie in five match- es and didn’t advance to the quarter-finals. The draw, 2-2 on Aug. 12, came against Pereira’s native India. Overall, Canada finished the Summer Olympics with 22 medals, matching the 1996 total in Atlanta and second only to the 44 won at the 1984 Los Angeles Games, which were boycotted by 14 Eastern Bloc countries.

Forward Aaliyah Scott, 15, and fullback Alexia Cajilig, 14, were part of the Canadian team that won six straight matches before falling 2-0 to the host United States in the gold-medal game Sunday, Aug. 21. Scott played 46 of 70 minutes in the open- ing match and scored a goal in a 6-0 win over Venezuela. She also earned an assist at the tournament and played in parts of all seven games. Cajilig played in portions of every game but the final and picked an assist in a 6-0 win over El Salvador. Canada also won by counts of 2-0 over Costa Rica, 5-0 over Jamaica, 10-0 over Cura- cao and 3-1 over Mexico in the semifinals. “Mexico and USA always provide us with a great game,” said Canadian coach Bev Priest- man in a press release. “This is a tier-one standard game (against USA), so it gives us a great platform to assess the players.” Canada, the defending champion of the tournament, held the championship game scoreless thorough the first half, but the U.S. struck twice in the second half. Twelve different players scored for Can- ada, including a team-best eight by Jordyn Huitema from Chilliwack, B.C.
