The young entrepreneur has made a spe- cialty of acquiring and renovating run- down properties, then marketing them both for resale and as rental units. He sees his efforts as having the poten- tial to benefit not just his bottom line, but to bring about the kind of incremental change needed to lift and revitalize neigh- bourhoods. And he’s not afraid of chal- lenges; he’s bought and fixed up proper- ties that included former drug houses, and others with less dramatic, but never the less, daunting histories. He’s learned to look past cosmetic prob- lems to see potential. On a muggy morning in August, for instance, Mr. Carr, 28, was at the site of one of his latest acquisitions, a house on Wasaga Court in south Oshawa. “The lady who lived here had 21 cats – it was horrible,” he said. “It was awful. But I love that. My mantra is, if you wouldn’t live here, I’d probably buy it.” Mr. Carr quickly ascertained that in order to thrive in the market, he’d be best to seek out low-cost properties that had the potential to appreciate in value. He considers three criteria: purchase price, renovations required, and, of course, loca- tion. “You make money on the buy, not the sale,” Mr. Carr said. Where some see decay, Durham entrepreneur sees potential for neighbourhood renewal Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland OSHAWA -- Ryan Carr, lead investor with R.W. Carr Investment Co., is an entrepreneur who buys and renovates houses, primarily in Oshawa, both for resale and the creation of rental units. He says neighbourhood renewal can be brought about one house at a time. See INVESTOR page 10 Matthew Andersonnew Lakeridge Health president Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- An experienced health- care administrator and a Whitby res- ident will be the next president and CEO of Lakeridge Health. Matthew Anderson is currently the CEO of the William Osler Health Sys- tem which includes the Brampton Civic Hospital and Etobicoke Gener- al Hospital. He will begin his new job at Lak- eridge Health in November. He has been working in the health- care industry since 1992, serving as chief information officer of Univer- sity Health Network, vice-president of UHN and CEO of the Toronto Cen- tral Local Health Integrated Network before taking on the top job at Wil- liam Osler. In his new role at Lakeridge, Mr. Anderson said he is looking forward to tackling major changes at Lak- eridge Health including the merg- er between Lakeridge and the Ajax- Pickering hospital and the process to build a new hospital in Durham, which the province has deemed nec- essary. “I’m a pretty optimistic person and I think those are really wonderful opportunities for our community,” he said.

Winning company will take control of the sites and propose future plans David Ryder newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Casino fever is building again as Caesars and five other companies con- sider bidding to build gambling resorts, including two sites in the east GTA. Whichever company eventually wins Ontario Lottery and Gaming’s bid process, big change is coming to Woodbine Race- track, Ajax Downs track and Great Blue Heron charity casino on Scugog Island near Port Perry. The chance to crack a market coveted by gaming companies, and build or part- ner on adjacent entertainment complexes, has triggered a frenzy of alliance-forging, deal-making and a fight between Ajax and Pickering. The New York Post reported that Caesars Entertainment, the famous casino opera- tor now in bankruptcy protection, is using its bid for GTA hosting rights to try to win creditors’ support for a reorganization. Caesars, which was part of a failed 2013 effort to convince Toronto council to wel- come a waterfront casino, would not con- firm it is among companies invited by OLG to bid for rights to operate the three-site GTA “bundle.” The winning company will take control of the sites and propose future plans. That could involve location changes, except for council-dictated Woodbine, but plans require approval of OLG and Premier Kathleen Wynne’s cabinet. A source with knowledge of the pro- cess and players, who is not authorized to speak publicly, said those invited to bid include Caesars plus: Genting Group, an Asia-based conglomerate that recently expanded its Resorts World casinos to the U.S.; Mohegan Sun, a Connecticut casino- resort owned by the Mohegan Tribal Gam- ing Authority; B.C.-based Great Canadian Gaming Corp. that operates casinos and race tracks and won OLG’s “east” gaming bundle; Penn National Gaming that runs Casino Rama and U.S. casinos and race tracks; and the consortium of U.S. and Canadian companies that operates Falls- view Casino in Niagara Falls. Great Canadian Gaming confirmed OLG’s invitation to participate but declined further comment during the “active pro- cess.” None of the four other casino com- panies returned calls and emails for this article. To the east, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish is convinced a full casino with live table games, to replace slots at Ajax Downs, will trigger construction of an entertainment complex there, and he is determined it be in his town. “It’s in the (casino operator’s) best inter- est to make improvements in each site that improve them and don’t clobber their other money-making sites,” Mayor Parish said. “Business hates political uncertain- ty — Ajax has a relationship with OLG and this (race track and slots) facility is one of the best.” A lot is at stake. Ajax earned an average of $6.4 million per year from hosting fees for the slots at Ajax Downs, and expects those fees to jump to $9.5 million to $12.3 million after the casino expansion, Mayor Parish says. Neighbouring Pickering, however, is pushing hard to host the casino on more than 200 acres next to Hwy. 401 owned by the Apostolopoulos family, as part of a pro- posed mega-complex called Durham Live. “The casino should come to Pickering,” says Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan. “Our site is much larger with more room and more opportunity for a convention centre, hotel complex and indoor water park, and a broader opportunity to become an enter- tainment and tourist destination point.” Steve Apostolopoulos confirmed there has been “contact” between Durham Live and one or more of the casino operators, who will learn late next summer which company has won the prize. “We’re here, we’re ready to rock n’ roll,” Mr. Apostolopoulos said. The Great Blue Heron Casino is owned by Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation and operated by a corporate part- nership, with table games managed by a charitable arm of the native band. Band Chief Kelly LaRocca has “high hopes” for expansion of the small but suc- cessful casino, anticipating the addition of new amenities that recognize the cottage- country setting and cultural heritage of the band. “We have a beautiful property called Seven Mile Island that we are looking to develop and we are open to doing some- thing large and spectacular if that’s what the service provider wants,” Chief LaRocca said. The band is working on an agreement with the Province to ensure Great Blue Heron doesn’t get “swallowed up or over- whelmed” by the other two casinos, she added. “Scugog is definitely open for business.” — Toronto Star Caesars, other casino operators consider bidding for GTA sites, including Ajax, Pickering and Scugog Metroland file photo AJAX -- A number of casino companies are being invited to bid on building gam- bling venues. Included among them are sites in Ajax, Pickering and Scugog. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 1 , 2 0 1 6 4 AP 6327 Main St.,Stouffville • 905-642-6774 • stouffvillefinefurniture.com STOUFFVILLE FINE FURNITURE Stouffville Fine Furniture offers a unique selection of classic,traditional and modern dining room furniture,bedroom furniture and living room furniture.

Crawford & Sons: Fixing Basement Leaks Right the First Time Water can damage anything it comes across, including carpets, flooring, furniture, drywall, electronics and more. At the first sign of water entering your basement, it’s time to call the experts. Trying to repair it yourself can lead to delays and more damage being done. You want to work with professionals who will repair your basement leak right the first time. The first step in repairing a basement leak is pinpointing where the problem is. Every home is unique, and there isn’t a one-size-fits all solution for every type of leak. You need someone with experience who can determine the source of the water and come up with the right solution. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for over 35 years and has been in over 15,000 homes in Durham Region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine and I’m still learning,” he says. Once the source of the leak has been determined, Gordon will devise a solution that will be both successful and cost efficient. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Sometimes, the best solution is to stop the leak from inside. This will also avoid having to dig up any landscaping. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board is a very good solution,” says Gordon. “It’s extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping.” It’s important to fix the leak as soon as you spot it, as the longer you leave it, the more damage it will do. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation. For more information, call Gordon at (905) 686-6880.

Thomas Armenis joined cadets for wealth of opportunities, now well decorated Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering teenager Thomas Armenis may only be 17, but he’s already won so many medals, it’s hard to keep count. Thomas, a sergeant with the 856 Pickering Kinsmen Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, added the latest award to his collection with a silver medal from the Ontario Summer Games in Mississauga this month. He and teammate Chris- tie McLennan won the distinction in the mixed region- al team event for air pistol. Due to a lack of junior air pis- tol shooters at this provincial level of competition, mixed teams of air rifle and air pistol athletes were created, and Thomas shot air rifle and Christie shot air pistol. “It was cool actually,” he said of the win. “I was surprised.” His latest accomplishment is the talk of his friends and family. “They won’t stop talking about it,” he said. Thomas has been with the air cadets since he was 12. “I think this is my sixth year,” the Pine Ridge Secondary School student said. As a longtime member of the 856 squadron, Thomas has been a member of the band, and participated in summer training at CFB Trenton and CFB Borden. Currently in his third year as an air rifle team member, he’s developed a spe- cific flair for the sport and has accumulated many medals as a junior and senior cadet. “In my first year, I won a medal as a junior shooter in every competition,” he said. As the years have gone on, he’s continued winning more. He and his team won silver at a national air rifle competi- tion in Gimli, Man., in the spring. He first got involved in cadets when he saw the pathways it offered for his older brother. “My brother got his full flying scholarship through it,” he said. “There’s a lot of opportunities that are avail- able for nothing.” And his time as a cadet has made him stronger. “I learned how to handle difficult situations,” he said. “I talk to parents of kids that are under 12 right now. I know for a lot of kids it just keeps them off the streets.” His cadet peers are always encouraging of his goals. “Anything you excel at, they really do support you,” he said. Pickering teen earns silver at Ontario Summer Games Jason Liebregts / Metroland PICKERING -- Thomas Armenis has been with 856 Air Cadets since the age of 12. He is an accomplished national competitor, placing 8th overall in Canada within the Canadian Cadet Organization this year in Gimli, Manitoba, where more than a thousand cadets competed. He also earned a silver medal at the Ontario Summer Games in Mississauga recently.

Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 column our opinion There’s an old joke that asks the ques- tion, “What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?” The answer, “A good start.” While there may seem to be a lot of law- yers across Durham Region there are not enough Crowns or judges. That is causing criminal cases to drag on forever which prompted the Supreme Court of Canada to uphold lower court rulings last month that saw charges stayed because they’d taken too long to come to trial. The court agreed the delays breached the Charter rights of the accused. “The reality is we don’t have enough Crowns, and not enough judges,” said law- yer Malcolm McRae. The Court cited a “culture of complacen- cy” in the system that allows cases to linger without timely resolution. Unreasonable delays can undermine the public’s faith in the justice system, the Court said. One could only imagine the relief of those facing trial, accused of any number of criminal offences. Also understandable was the frustration of police officers who made the arrests, laid the charges and did their jobs. It wasn’t their fault everyone walked. People facing charges have a Constitu- tional right to have their matters heard and resolved within a reasonable time. However, that does not happen with every case. Take the case of former Oshawa Councillor Robert Lutczyk, charged with kidnapping and weapons offences. He was arrested in October 2012 and his trial only wrapped up earlier this year. Mr. Lutczyk was given the equivalent of five years credit for the time he’d been in jail since his arrest. Mr. McRae has practised law in a num- ber of jurisdictions around the GTA and has seen the systemic delays in our justice system. Durham Region, he says, is not as bad as other areas but there are delays everywhere. “I will say that Durham Region is much better than anywhere else I practice,” he said. “I think they’ve done a good job of working together to prioritize things.” The government of Ontario, which appoints provincial court judges, is taking steps to improve efficiencies in the system, said Brendan Crawley, a spokesman with the Ministry of the Attorney General. Some of those steps include innovations including expanded use of video court appearances for accused and remote access for defence lawyers to consult with in-custody clients, and introducing a more efficient tele-warrant system. With the Supreme Court’s ruling now in place it behooves the government to fix the problem. The introduction of new tech- nology alone won’t fix everything. There’s a limited number of people who can con- duct trials so more need to be hired and more judges need to be appointed. It may cost us more but it’s the price that has to be paid to ensure justice is served in a timely and fair manner. Province must ensure justice is served in a timely, efficient manner Bursting childhood balloons, one at a time Odds are, you’ve known an Ian or an Ina in your life If you have children, at some point in their early lives, odds are they will encounter Ian Resnick. He may appear to them in the guise of a differ- ent name or quite possibly a different gender. It matters not. He or she will still be Ian Resnick; that kid whose only function, it seems, is to burst childhood balloons and strip others of the innocence that he himself seems never to have possessed. Ian Resnick was the kid who first gleefully tried to convince me that Santa did not exist. He was the first kid to get a hold of a pornographic mag- azine and who took savage delight in stunning scores of us into an adoles- cent awareness we may not have been ready for. Likewise, he or she will be the first kid to utter words you have tried desperately to keep from the ears of your own children. He is skilled in the dark arts of divi- siveness. If your child is in any won- derful way different from those around him, Ian will take that perfection and turn it into a stain. Until they meet Ian or Ina, as the case may be, your precious child will have had no inkling that they were chubby, or skinny or too tall or short. They would have no clue that they were poor or rich or that their parents were not just their loving, adored par- ents but, in fact, were divorced, or gay or foreign in some way that now made your child somehow lesser than those within earshot of Ian’s poisonous tongue. He is evil but he is a necessary evil. Because Ian Resnick will very likely be the first test of your child’s convictions in this life. The first time that he or she will have to decide what they believe in, what kind of world they want to live in, how they see the Universe and their place within it. Those are important questions. The answers to which will guide your child’s life as surely as a com- pass point. Until they bump into Ian Resnick and his vile little, glass half- full of stink, they may not have been yet aware that they are steering their own ship. That they and they alone are responsible for what shows up in their lives. That they have enormous power. Ian Resnick is simply the ugly cata- lyst for that knowledge. He is the ser- pent in the garden. And for that, we should be grateful. The next time your child comes home in tears, weeping from eyes that now see things a little differently but more clearly, take a moment, if you can, and bless Ian Resnick.

Letters to the editor Strategy in fight against human trafficking a step in the right direction To the editor: Human trafficking robs the safety, liveli- hood and dignity of those being exploited and abused. Recent RCMP statistics confirm that 95 per cent of cases of human trafficking are domestic -- the majority of which are for sexual exploitation. It’s happening in Dur- ham and other communities across Ontario, with devastating effect on those individuals, their families and communities. Great work is already being done by Dur- ham-area enforcement officers and social service groups to stop this deplorable crime but we recognize there’s more we can do. As the minister responsible for women’s issues in Ontario, I am leading the recently announced Ontario Strategy to End Human Trafficking. We have heard from those on the front lines of this issue, and have incorporat- ed their feedback into an approach -- backed by up to $72 million of dedicated funding -- we believe to be truly responsive to needs on the ground. Our approach is a survivor- centred one, providing both sustained and meaningful supports for survivors and also giving dedicated police officers, intelligence services and the justice sector the resources they require to combat and prosecute traf- fickers. Work is set to begin on a number of far- reaching, impactful initiatives including the development of an Anti-Human Trafficking Coordination Office, the establishment of a provincial human trafficking prosecution team, the creation of an anti-human traffick- ing intelligence team in the Criminal Intelli- gence Service Ontario, and the establishment of an OPP-led anti-human trafficking investi- gations co-ordination team. We are also developing an Ontario Police College Police-led human trafficking training program for police officers, and to meet the needs of human trafficking survivors we are expanding the Victim Quick Response pro- gram, Victim Crisis Assistance Ontario pro- gram, and Victim/Witness Assistance pro- gram. Complex problems call for far-reaching comprehensive solutions. The Ontario Strat- egy to End Human Trafficking is an impor- tant step in the right direction. Pickering-Scarborough East MPP Tracy MacCharles, Minister responsible for women’s issues Whose interest being served by Durham hospital merger? To the editor: Re ‘Ajax-Pickering Lakeridge Health Merger’, Oshawa This Week, Aug. 18, 2016 It is certainly difficult to find a good investment in this time of record-high real estate prices and record-low interest rates. Stock markets are excelling as inves- tors seek out reasonable returns on their investments. Speculation is rampant. But, to propose investing $18.8 million to achieve an annual return of $300,000 seems to me to be financial folly. If this pro- posal was to work out, the return on invest- ment would only be about 1.59 per cent; almost enough to pay just one administra- tor’s one-year salary and perks! It is my observation that typically when people in positions of authority are spend- ing other people’s money, they can almost be relied on to under-estimate costs, over- estimate benefits and pay bonuses to select people for doing what they were hired to do in the first place. And they have myriad excuses for dismissing being over-budget. Without obtaining cost/benefit enforce- able guarantees from those in authority, this proposal is too speculative and causes me to wonder, whose interest is really being served. Don Smith, Oshawa Perhaps impounding vehicles will drive home the distracted driving message To the editor: Re: ‘Harsher penalty needed to discourage distracted driving’, editorial, Oshawa This Week, Aug. 25 I thought that by raising the fine and the demerit points a person would get upon their conviction for distracted driving, that people would begin to get the message. Clearly they have not. In one weekend the police laid charges of distracted driving to 75 people. I do not have anything miraculous that would stop peo- ple from distracted driving. I thought they would get the message but they clearly don’t! Maybe if the police were empowered to have the vehicle immediately impounded and the person’s driving privileges revoked for 30 days then just maybe people would begin to get the message. This will take some time for the public in general to stop distracted driv- ing but, in the meantime, there must be con- sequences and they must be harsh for the general public to finally get the message that distracted driving is really against the law. It took a number of years and many, many fines later for the general public to finally get the message that they must buckle up before they start their journey. This country may have a lot of people who ignore the laws until they come up and bite you in the rump. But, eventually, they will and do get the mes- sage. Unfortunately, some people will have to die before something is finally done. NIMBY is the only thing that comes to mind.

What’s open, closed on Labour Day Distracted driving deaths double impaired road fatalities, OPP say in announcing crackdown DURHAM -- Deaths attributable to dis- tracted driving are outpacing fatalities involving impaired drivers two to one, Ontario Provincial Police said in announc- ing a Labour Day enforcement campaign. As of mid-August the OPP had investi- gated 38 road fatalities involving distract- ed driving, compared to 19 impaired fatal- ities, the service said this week. The OPP is calling on Ontarians to adopt the same attitude toward distracted driv- ing that they’ve taken towards drunk driv- ing. “Since 2009, our officers have inves- tigated more than 600 road deaths that involved an inattentive driver,” Deputy commissioner Brad Blair said in a state- ment. “Consider how many of those inno- cent lives could have been saved had someone else in the vehicle intervened.”   The OPP will be conducting a distracted driving campaign over the busy Labour Day weekend to reinforce the message. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 1 , 2 0 1 6 9 AP Savings for all offers are off our regular prices, unless otherwise specified.HUDSON’S BAY CREDIT OFFER:Excludes cosmetics, fragrances and major appliances.

SHOP THEBAY.COM Late summer cottaging is the best Late summer in cottage coun- try — does it ever get better than that? Mosquitoes have died off, lakes are warmer than they’ve been all year and days still long enough for all the lazing, pad- dling and swimming you care to indulge in. Sit on the end of a dock in the stillness of dawn before the first boat cuts across that satin-smooth water and you feel transported to a rare and peaceful world. We were invited to a cottage in the Kawarthas for a family reunion last weekend, a homey place with 100 moss-covered steps down the wooded slope to the water. That winding stone path down the escarpment was a shady tran- sition zone between the lake- shore water world where we splashed and boated, and the treetop eerie of the cottage deck high above. Family members had come from as far away as Taiwan and the West Coast to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. Amid all the laughter and chatter, the bonding and sharing, the feasting and fun, I realized how lucky we were to be able to gather together in nature, in all that beauty, like so many Ontario families before us. There were dragonflies patrol- ling the shallows, crickets and cicadas singing. Schools of min- nows leaped from the water, escaping from a big bass or pick- erel giving chase in the green, weedy depths below. A king- fisher zipped along the shore- line, heading for a favourite fish- ing perch, and a mink ran across the rocks and hid under the pier. Caspian terns kept dropping from the sky with a splash, intent on catching dinner in their bright orange bills. I loved the smell of the lake when the wind was from the west, and the pine perfume when we went for a walk in the woods behind the cottage. Blue jays were in full voice with a whole repertoire of yodels and calls, more vocal as they always are come fall, when they flock up and decide whether to migrate south or not. Numbers of migrating war- blers were flitting about in the green, leafy trees, hunting for insects, and we saw a family of red-breasted nuthatches fly by. With cedars on one side and tower- ing white pines on the other, the Kawar- tha Lakes form a dividing line between limestone and granite, glacial till and the ancient bedrock of the Canadian Shield. They’re spectacular in any season, any time of day — even after dark, in the light of a million stars. Nature queries: mcarney@interlinks.net or (905) 725-2116 -- Durham outdoors writer Margaret Carney has more than 3,500 species on her life list of birds, seen in far-flung corners of the planet The Great Outdoors Margaret Carney 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 • Se p t e m b e r 1 , 2 0 1 6 10 P “You can’t dictate what the market will pay, but you can dictate what you pay. I’m not just looking for price, I’m looking at what the seller is asking, and what is the potential market price.” Even for Mr. Carr, some properties are beyond the pale. Take, for instance, 737 Cedar St., south of Bloor Street in Oshawa. The property, which was notorious as a drug house, was the scene in January of a brutal beating that led to the death of 19-year-old Tehganni Lewis. A man has been charged with second-degree murder in the case. The rooming house was in a terrible state. And it came with the stigma of hav- ing been the scene of a major crime, some- thing that has to be disclosed to potential buyers in the future. “I walked out of it,” Mr. Carr said. “I said, no way.” But he reconsidered. He saw potential in the property. He bought the place and got to work. Mr. Carr acknowledges properties like the house on Cedar aren’t for everyone. Most people wouldn’t see past the clutter, the run-down conditions, and the legacy of what’s occurred there. “It’s a mentality,” Mr. Carr said. “I’ve bought properties that are falling down, filled with cat pee, I don’t care. A lot of people don’t have the resources to see past the problems. “The reason I am able to find underval- ued property is that I seem them different- ly from others,” he said. Mr. Carr hopes his optimism for commu- nity renewal will spread. He said that over time neighbourhoods can be improved, property by property, and that cities can contribute by providing infrastructure and other supports. “It takes a lot of effort by everybody, including the city, to make that happen,” he said. Roger Bouma, a former Oshawa city councillor and a long-time real estate agent, agrees that the momentum created by property upgrades can be the tide that lifts other boats. “If my neighbour’s house does not show well, it reduces the value of my home; but if someone buys it and improves it, it increases the value of my home,” Mr. Bouma said. “Everyone’s value goes up, and in turn everyone has incentive to improve their own home.” Opportunities for investment exist throughout the region, including Oshawa, Mr. Bouma said. He identified the city’s south and central areas as having high potential. “There are some gorgeous, solid homes that I think have a huge upside,” Mr. Bouma said. “It takes individual vision to recognize the property as an opportuni- ty, and I would say it’s going to take some vision from the city as well.” Municipalities can accelerate renewal by targeting areas for infrastructure upgrades, but can also create incentive through mea- sures such as deferral of higher assess- ment values on homes in areas undergo- ing improvement, Mr. Bouma suggested. “Whatever the incentive is -- whether it’s small or more significant -- it tells the individual coming into the area that this is a priority area,” he said. “And that encour- ages others to come into the area.” Optimism is helpful, but it takes more than a new name on the deed and a coat of paint to stimulate neighbourhood revival, cautioned Sandra O’Donohue, president of the Durham Region Association of Real- tors. Not every property purchase guarantees a sound return on investment, particularly if it’s in what’s perceived as an undesirable location, she said. “You can make a property into a castle, but if it’s in a location that’s terribly run down, you won’t get that return,” said Ms. O’Donohue. Her advice is: “Look for the rough in the diamond, rather than the dia- mond in the rough. “It depends on the area,” Ms. O’Donohue said. “One investor might just encourage other investors to buy on a street.” For his part, Mr. Carr hopes he’s on the leading edge of what may soon become the gentrification of what he sees as stigma- tized neighbourhoods. He’s of the opinion that if momentum is created, good things will follow. “When I see the south end I see a lot of opportunity,” Mr. Carr said. “If people keep coming down here and keep pouring money in, good things will happen. I’m sure there would be some push back, but I’m sure it could be over- come with optimism.” Investor sees potential in many properties others wouldn’t Metroland file photo DURHAM -- Investor Ryan Carr is a strong believer in urban renewal. He buys proper- ties most people wouldn’t take a second look at and then improves them. It helps him and it improves neighbourhoods across Durham Region. He even purchased this home at 737 Cedar St., south of Bloor Street in Oshawa. The house was the scene of a murder earlier this year. A Whitby resident, Mr. Anderson has lived in Durham for more than 15 years and said working in his own community is a nice side benefit. “A chance to work in my own commu- nity and build something pretty special with respect to our health-care system, I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime shot,” he said. Mr. Anderson said he’s excited about building up the local health-care system and believes that starts with reaching out to primary care physicians such as family doctors and home-care service provid- ers. “I need to get out there inside the hos- pital and outside the hospital and one of the things I would like to do early on is meet with primary care doctors,” he said. With respect to the promised new hos- pital for Durham, Mr. Anderson said he understands he has to be the No. 1 cham- pion for the project. “If we sit on the sidelines and don’t champion it, it’s kind of self-fulfilling ... part of what I need to do is work with the community to move it forward.” He has read a panel report released earlier this week that reviewed Oshawa’s emergency room. The report made 24 recommendations and called for a cul- ture change in the ER that put patients first. “What I think I saw in that report are systems and processes that used to work that don’t necessarily work anymore and they don’t work because the volume of patients has gotten higher and the rela- tive sickness of the patients has gotten higher,” said Mr. Anderson. Lakeridge Health board chairman Val- entine Lovekin welcomed Mr. Anderson. “We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Ander- son to Lakeridge Health -- he’s a young, dynamic leader with a proven track record of using innovative and data-driv- en methods to build a strong, quality- focused hospital system,” he said. “And as someone with deep roots in our com- munity, he profoundly understands the many opportunities that lie ahead for our hospital -- including planning and building a new acute care site.” Oshawa MP Colin Carrie also wel- comed the news of Mr. Anderson’s appointment. “I was delighted to hear that someone with Matthew’s depth of experience has accepted the top position at Lakeridge Health,” he said in a statement. “Canada’s demographics are shifting and it’s more important than ever that our health-care systems are functioning to the best of their ability. Lakeridge Health has prov- en that we can offer some of the best care in Canada and I look forward to a contin- uation of that service excellence.” Lakeridge Health’s new president is no stranger to Durham Region Submitted photo DURHAM -- Matthew Anderson has been named president and CEO of Lakeridge Health.

In March, Durham councillors endorsed a report from the Regional council com- position review committee that called for the changes. There are 28 councillors and an elect- ed chairman and those numbers won’t change. Ajax, with three representatives (the mayor and two councillors), and Whitby (the mayor and three council- lors) would each get one more council- lor. Oshawa, now with eight represen- tatives (mayor and seven councillors) would drop to six reps (mayor and five councillors). The bylaw will be considered at the Sept. 14 Regional Council meeting, which begins at 10 a.m. in Council Chambers at Regional Municipality of Durham Head- quarters, 605 Rossland Rd. E., Whitby. It will need to receive a triple majority in order to be passed, meaning a major- ity of Regional councillors must approve it, at least five of the eight Durham local councils have to approve it and those five municipalities must consist of a majority of Durham residents. If passed, the Province has to approve the regulation to make it official. The changes are expected to take effect by the 2018 municipal election. Regional Council will hold the Sept. 14 meeting so the public can make com- ments on this proposed bylaw. Comments may also be submitted in writing no later than Sept. 12, addressed to the Regional Clerk/Director of Legislative Services, via e-mail at clerks@durham.ca or by calling 905-668-7711 ext. 2100.

Numerous studies have shown that learning to play an instrument will help your child increase their brain power; develop important academic skills; create mental images, which is the basis of mathematics and analytic thinking; sharpens memory skills and helps with reading. Music lessons also help develop physical skills, such as coordination and motor skills; cultivate social skills; learn patience and discipline; and boost self-esteem. Group lessons are an incredibly effective way for children to learn. Not only will they have more time to learn with their instruments - an hour for a group instead of the typical half an hour for a private lesson - but they get to play together. The students can learn from each other and help each other along the way. Pickering Piano & Guitar is now accepting new students into their group lesson programs. They offer theory classes and group classes in piano and guitar. Every student will start with prepatory books and all students have the option to switch to the Royal Conservatory of Music program when they are ready. Teacher Soula Hardy has been teaching for 20 years. She is experienced with offering both group and private lessons and has also worked with children for years, helping them experience the joy of music. She has a music studio in her home where the lessons take place. It’s a very music-oriented home and she has a variety of guitars, pianos and keyboards. The keyboards are top quality Roland keyboards that have the characteristics of a real piano. With 88 keys that have the same weight as real piano keys, these keyboards also produce the same hammer action sound and feel as an acoustic piano. Students have the opportunity to participate in two recitals a year. Every December, the students can take part in the Joyful Noise concert held at Pickering City Hall. The Spring recital takes place at the Pickering Public Library. There are no additional teaching fees for the rehearsals or recitals. The lesson rates are very affordable and are based on a monthly average spread over the 10 months of lessons. Students pay $75 a month and the rate stays the same month to month. For more information and to sign up for lessons, call (905) 837-2659 or email soulahardy@gmail.com.

Canadian playwright Norm Foster’s The Foursome just finished a run at the Pickering venue. And just like that another has started: see Foster’s The Affections Of May until Oct. 2. “The story is one of love lost and love found, of relationships at many levels, and about finding yourself and mov- ing on,” states a press release. “May and Brian Henning have moved to Gro- gan’s Cove, Nova Scotia from Toronto to run a B and B. May loves it, but Brian misses the city so much he decides to leave May and go back to his old job. Of course there’s another woman involved. Left on her own, May just wants to sleep her life away, but two local characters begin to court her.” The play features Denise Del Greco of Whitby as May, Paul Francies of Stouffville as Brian, Toronto’s Chris Cole as Hank and Geoffrey Coulter of Oshawa as Quinn. You can see The Affections Of May on Sunday afternoons (arrival at noon, show at 2 p.m.) or at night (Thursday, Friday and Saturday, arrival at 6 p.m., show at 8 p.m.). Herongate Barn Theatre is at 2885 Altona Rd., between Taunton and Whitevale roads. For tickets, visit www.herongate.com or call 1-866-902-9884.

Athletes following a restricted diet or a diet low in total energy (calories), may lack some vitamins and minerals. Although vitamin and mineral supple- mentation may improve the nutritional status of an individual who consumes a restricted diet and may enhance the per- formance of athletes with overt nutri- ent deficiencies, there is no evidence to support the general use of vitamin and mineral supplements to improve athletic performance. The following nutrients may be of spe- cial concern for some athletes: • Iron helps the body use and carry oxygen to active muscles. Requirements may increase during increased train- ing periods. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia and fatigue. Taking iron sup- plements without first having blood checked is not recommended. Excess iron can be toxic. Iron is found in meat, poultry and fish, beans, lentils, seeds, soy, whole grain or fortified cereals. • B vitamins are needed for releas- ing energy in your body, building and repairing tissues and for healthy red blood cells. There is some evidence that athletes may need higher amounts of B vitamins; however, eating a variety of foods and getting enough calories will ensure that you meet those needs. B vita- mins are found in whole grains and for- tified grain products, meat, fish, poultry, milk products and legumes. • Vitamin D is important for bone health. Athletes in sports such as gym- nastics, running or cycling, should ensure adequate intake. Vitamin D is found in very few foods. Only egg yolks and fatty fish, naturally contain Vitamin D. Cow’s milk and some milk alternatives are fortified with Vitamin D. Vitamin D can be formed when our skin is exposed to the sun. However, in the late fall and winter we produce almost no Vitamin D from the sun. If you train indoors, and don’t eat Vitamin D fortified foods, you may be at risk for low Vitamin D. Use of individual vitamins and min- erals is not recommended because of potential adverse interactions among nutrients and toxicity. Taking a multivi- tamin containing at least 400IU of Vita- min D can help ensure nutrient needs are met.

Pickering lost 5-1 and is now 1-4 in pre-season play with two games remaining, including Friday in Ajax against the Cobourg Cougars. With renovations ongoing at the Pickering Rec Complex, the Panthers open the regular season with six road games, beginning Sept. 10 in Stouffville. Andrew Fagan wins field and target titles BOWMANVILLE — Andrew Fagan, a 30-year-old chiropractor from Bowmanville, won his 11th and 12th out- door gold medals at the Archery Canada National Field and Target Champion- ships in Peterborough this August. Fagan, originally from Ajax, specializes in target archery, but decided to compete in both disciplines as the event was so close to home this year. Archers from all around Canada competed. The field archery championship saw archers compete on a course of 28 tar- gets, taking competitors through wood- ed areas, fields and various large gravel mounds. Archers shot at different dis- tances from 10 to 60 metres on various target face sizes and targets placed at dif- ficult angles from the shooting peg. After finishing the day and handing in scorecards, Fagan was informed by judg- es he had shot a new Canadian cham- pionship record of 403, beating the old record by one. “I had no idea what the record was,” Fagan said. “I’ve only shot this type of field round two other times. I fig- ured it was a solid score and had a good chance for a win, but feel pretty good about setting a new record.” Two days later, the target nation- al championship drew 250 archers, including Fagan, the two-time defending men’s champion. “The archery community is fairly small, so having the event so close to my home town, I knew most of the event organiz- ers, volunteers and other competitors,” said Fagan, admitting to a small case of the nerves. The competition consisted of two 720- round scores shot over two days for a total of 1440 points, all arrows shot at 50 metres. After a breezy first day, Fagan was in the lead with Luc Martin of New Bruns- wick three points behind him in second place, and Brendan Von Richter of British Columbia eight points back in third. With strong winds on day two, Fagan used his years of experience to stay patient and pick his moments between wind gusts to shoot his arrows. After a long battle, not only against his competi- tors but also the vicious wind, he finished 19 points ahead of second place. “The three of us on the top target were tight for the first few ends of scoring, but as I started to pull away I could tell my opponents were focused on the battle for second and third spot between Mar- tin and Von Richter,” Fagan recalled. “I couldn’t be more pleased to win two national titles and set a new Canadian record in my home province.” When not shooting, Fagan is a practis- ing chiropractor at the Port Hope Health Centre. He is currently ranked as the No. 1 men’s compound archer in Canada, has competed on the World Cup cir- cuit, world championships, Common- wealth Games, Canada Winter Games, Pan American Championships and was a torch bearer for the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games.

When camp broke with fitness testing and orientation Tuesday, Aug. 30 at the General Motors Centre, 23 of the 53 hope- fuls came to the rink with at least some experience already playing in the Ontario Hockey League. Throw in at least two players from the most recent OHL draft almost certain to make the team and one other from the import draft, and it seems jobs will be at a premium this year. “It’s going to be exciting because jobs are on the line, and not even jobs on the team, but where you slot them on the team,” said Roger Hunt, vice president and gener- al manager of the club. “It’s going to be a challenging training camp for these guys … Any athlete, when they’re put in a position of competition, they tend to rise, so that’s what should make this camp really excit- ing.” Cirelli sure rose to the challenge two years ago, not only making a team that was loaded with talent, but ending up the over- time hero as the Generals went the dis- tance and won their fifth Memorial Cup. Latin, an Oshawa native whom Hunt said he knew nothing about at this time last year, also surprisingly made the team last season, albeit in a transition year that saw the Generals barely scrape into the playoffs before being ousted in five games. The hope this year is for the team to take a big step back towards the top, which is what will be needed for any chance of a 2018 Memorial Cup bid. “I think it’s dangerous putting expecta- tions out there, but can we get to the mid- dle of the pack in the east? I think we can,” said Hunt. “To get home-ice advantage (in the first round of the playoffs) would be a great season … The big thing even more than the standings is to go further in the playoffs.” Cirelli, who became captain after Michael Dal Colle was traded away last season, will help offer a solid foundation for the team along with defenceman Mitchell Vande Sompel and goalie Jeremy Brodeur. Hunt is expecting big things from all three veterans, but he said the biggest strength of the club this season should be its depth, an element first-year coach Bob Jones strug- gled with last season. Forwards Danil Antropov, the sixth over- all draft pick in 2016, Serron Noel, a sec- ond-rounder, and Renars Krastenbergs, an import pick from Latvia, along with defenceman Will Ennis, a third-round pick, will be among the newcomers push- ing for spots and playing time. “When I’m looking at a ghost roster, and it might be 75 per cent different on open- ing night, I’m pretty sure that we’re going to have a lot of depth this year,” Hunt said. “I think we’ll have four lines that can play, and we’ll have some inner competition as the year goes on. I think we can have 14 forwards and eight D that are fighting for jobs every night.” After the first set of training camp cuts, there will be two Red vs. White scrimmage games, on Thursday at 4:15 p.m. and Fri- day at noon. The Generals’ exhibition schedule begins on Sunday, Sept. 4 in Peterborough and also includes road games in Owen Sound Sept. 5 and Kingston Sept. 9, and home games in Ajax Sept. 10 against Kingston and Bowmanville Sept. 11 against Peter- borough. The regular season begins in Sudbury Friday, Sept. 23 and includes two more road dates before the home-opener Friday, Sept. 30 against the Peterborough Petes. Celebrating the 80th anniversary season, the Generals announced they will retire Marc Savard’s No. 27 prior to an Oct. 2 home game against the Windsor Spitfires. A two-time OHL champion, Savard will join Red Tilson, Bobby Orr, Eric Lindros and John Tavares as the fifth player to be retired in franchise history. Hunt also confirmed the team had expressed its intention to bid on the 2018 Memorial Cup prior to the Sept. 1 dead- line. The 100th anniversary of the national championship is open to every team in the Canadian Hockey League. Oshawa Generals jobs at a premium “The ones who fall short ever so slightly, it’s going to be incredible motivation, and I do feel that already,” she added, looking ahead to the Tokyo 2020 Games. “To know that we have to do four more seasons of highs and lows, it seems a lot, but already I’m just dying to get back into training mode for next year.” Batty had plenty of support with her in Brazil, including her parents Rick and Cindy, sister Charlotte, and husband, Adam Morka, who is also her coach. The gold and silver medals proved to be a bit too far out of reach, with Sweden’s Jenny Rissveds winning by 37 seconds over Poland’s Maja Wloszczowska, who was 49 seconds ahead of Pendrel. But Batty executed her race well, and certainly had a shot at chasing down the 35-year-old Pendrel, who had remarkably overcome an early fall to win the bronze and also vindicate a disappointing London Games. “I did everything flawlessly, and that’s a key element when it comes to racing, is how much you have your stuff together and mak- ing no mistakes,” Batty said. “Everything I had set out to do I had done, so there’s a lot of positive within that, but without that medal, you feel like you’re missing some- thing, like you’ve been left out.” Batty headed back home before the rest of her family to start preparations for her final World Cup race, this weekend in Andor- ra, but left with nothing but praise for the Olympic organizers and the city. “It was overwhelming how kind and nice people were,” she said. “The Brazilian peo- ple were so amazing, accommodating and so friendly. I think more friendly than any- where else I’ve ever been and I’ve been to many places all over the world. “I have to go back and actually enjoy the city someday,” she added. “They did a real- ly good job and I think they need credit for that … As an athlete it was kind of flawless in my eyes.” Fourth-place finish in Rio tough to take for cyclist Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com BROOKLIN -- Emily Batty has exorcised many of the demons that haunted her the past four years, but she still has some unfin- ished Olympic business to tend to in four, and maybe even eight, years time. Batty, a 28-year-old Brooklin cyclist, fin- ished in the most frustrating spot imagin- able after battling the cross-country moun- tain bike course in Rio for over an hour- and-a-half, just shy of the podium in fourth place. It certainly redeemed her 24th-place fin- ish from her Olympic debut at the 2012 Lon- don Games, where she bravely completed the race despite breaking her collarbone and a rib in a training accident three days earlier. But to finish a mere two seconds behind fellow Canadian Catharine Pendrel for the coveted bronze medal left her with emo- tions still in need of satisfying. “I went there for redemption, I went there for a medal and to come that close, by real- ly a couple of bike lengths, is so sad, but at the same time, like at any World Cup event, it would be a good result,” she said upon returning home. “It’s hard to be the first per- son going home without a medal after all these years of hard work. It’s hard to be that person, to say the least. Brooklin’s Batty still has Olympic medals on the mind 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 • Se p t e m b e r 1 , 2 0 1 6 22 AP Ajax &Pickering Locations8SalemRd.South Ajax,ON L1S 7T7 FLYERS ThuRSdaY ThuRSdaY,SEpTEmbER 1,2016 *DelivereD to SelecteD HouSeHolDS only All inserts can be recycled with your newspapers through your blue box program.

SportS Courtice defender returns from shoulder separation for medal win Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com COURTICE — Allysha Chapman was not brought to tears by pain, although it sure did hurt, but rather with the instant thought that her Olympics were over when she separated her shoulder in a nasty collision in the quar- ter-final game of the women’s soccer tourna- ment in Rio. But, while it did indeed keep her out of the rest of that game as well as the semifi- nal, Chapman was able to bite the bullet and bear the agony to be on the field a week later when Canada won bronze over host Brazil Aug. 19. Chapman, a 27-year-old fullback from Courtice, replaced Deanne Rose in the 59th minute of the bronze-medal match, when Canada led 2-0, and helped preserve the win despite a late goal by the home team. “I was really excited to be a part of that win,” she said by phone in Houston, where she continues to rehab with the hope of return- ing to the lineup of the Houston Dash in a week or two. “It was painful and I paid for it in the following days, but it meant everything to me to be on that field when the final whis- tle blew.” Chapman said she was told by coach John Herdman that if she re-injured her shoulder in the final 21 minutes, she was to get right back up up and keep playing no matter the pain. Given how hard she had worked to get to that point, the terms were quickly agreed to. As luck would have it, Chapman’s first play was a throw-in, something she didn’t really think about until mid-toss. “The first thing I do is pick up the ball and put it over my head and by then it was a little too late so I just went for it,” she said. “I had to grit my teeth with a little bit of pain, but I was fine.” She remembered one other defensive play that caused her some woe, but otherwise made it through the match, with the help of lidocaine injections, to be able to join the on- field celebration immediately. Canada won all three games in the group stage, including over No. 2-ranked Germany, and defeated No. 3 France 1-0 in the quarter- final, raising expectations sky-high consid- ering the favoured United States had been eliminated. But a 2-0 semifinal loss to Germany ended any hopes of winning gold, a game that was frustrating to watch from the sidelines, Chapman admitted. “It was unfortunate that we couldn’t beat Germany the second time, but still, I think sometimes it’s better to win bronze than lose gold,” she said. “It’s better to win your last game and that’s what we did.” Ajax striker Nichelle Prince and Whitby goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan also brought home bronze medals from Rio, although Prince played only sparingly in the tourna- ment and Sheridan, an alternate, not at all. Both being 21, they figure to be a part of the team’s bright future, one that Chapman also hopes will include her for at least the next four years. “I’ll be 31 for the next Olympics in Tokyo, so I’m hoping to make the push, one last push,” she said. “Most of the people that were at the Olympics will be returning through the next cycle, so I think we can only improve from here. There’s lots of players coming through the system … It’s looking pretty bright. I’m pretty excited to be a part of it right now.” Canada has risen to an historic high of fourth in the FIFA world rankings.
