The provincial government is now offering the shingles vaccine for free to people aged 65-70. SHINGLES Vaccine now free to residents aged 65 to 70 and those born in 1945 BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- For more than a year, shingles turned Bruce Sharpe into a different person. The Ajax resident noticed pain in his shoul- der in June 2015 and what looked like a ter- rible rash. It quickly spread to his arm. When he went to the doctor, he learned he had shin- gles. “The pain would be like if you’ve ever been burnt by an iron,” says the former president of the Ajax Royal Canadian Legion.

Province introduces new rules for hospitals charging more than $10 per day for parking Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- With new rules in place, repeat visitors to the Ajax- Pickering hospital will see some flexibility and savings, but daily parking rates remain the same. In May, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care direct- ed Ontario hospitals that charge more than $10 a day for park- ing to begin offering patients and their visitors discounted parking passes in increments of five-day, 10-day and 30-day versions as of Oct. 1. “Rouge Valley Health System has put measures in place to relieve the financial burden for hospital patients and their visitors, particularly those making repeat visits,” said RVHS’s Leigh Duncan. RVHS is now offering a five-day pass for $50, a 10-day pass for $100, and a 30-day parking pass for $250, which works out to $8.33 each day. These multi-day passes can be transferred between patients and caregivers; include in-and-out privileges throughout a 24-hour period; and may be used for the allotted number of days up to one year from the date of purchase. Monthly (con- secutive calendar days) passes remain available at $100. However, some visitors said they were initially told the $100 passes were no longer available. Pickering resident Sue Olguin visits her mother almost every day as she awaits a long-term care home at the hospital, and said staff told her the cost had gone up to $250 on Oct. 2. “I can’t afford that cost,” she said. One other hospital visitor contacted the News Advertiser and said she was also told she had to pay $250. Duncan since confirmed the $100 is still in effect. “I’ll look into this miscommunication now, and will have the problem rectified,” she said in an email. Duncan said RVHS reinvests the revenue generated from parking fees in hospital medical equipment. According to the Province, 45 Ontario hospitals offer free parking and 63 charge $10 or less per day. An estimated 45 hospitals charge more than $10 per day. Parking rates at the Ajax-Pickering site are: $4 for 30 min- utes or less; $8 for 31 to 60 minutes; $12 for 61 to 90 minutes; a daily rate of $16 and an all-day pass with in and out privileges for $20. Lakeridge Health in Oshawa charges $76 for 30 consecutive days and $150 for 30 non-consecutive days. A five-day pass is $37.50, a 10-day pass is $65 and the daily rate is $15. The maximum daily rate of $15 at Lakeridge Oshawa remains unchanged, but visitors will now be able to go in and out of the hospital parkades with their day pass. The hospital charges $4.50 per half hour -- with the first half hour free. The 30-day rate for Whitby, Port Perry and Bowmanville Lakeridge sites remains $32. Daily parking is $6.75 at the Whitby site, $8 in Bowmanville and $4 at Port Perry. -- With files from Reka Szekely Multi-day parking passes to Ajax-Pickering hospital offer savings Metroland file photo AJAX - Ajax-Pickering hospital is now offering discounted parking passes for repeat visitors. 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 • Oc t o b e r 1 3 , 2 0 1 6 3 AP While supplies last.

BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham’s hospitals could employ almost 700 more nurses if Ontario funded hospitals at the same rate as the rest of the country, claims a report released by the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions and the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Michael Hurley, president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions, spoke recent- ly on the issue outside Lakeridge Health Oshawa along with Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition. Hurley said the report found that spending on acute care in Ontario is declining with the Province spending $353 per person less than the average of Canada’s other provinces and territories. If the Ontario government spent the national average, it would mean $215 mil- lion a year more for Durham Region hospi- tals, he said. “They will tell you they are downsizing the acute care hospital system but they’re mak- ing huge investments in home care ... (but) we see that the spending on home care and community care services are actually under- neath the average of the other provinces by about 14.3 per cent.” As a result of the lower level of spending, Hurley said on a per capita basis Ontario has the fewest number of acute care beds of any province in the country, the fewest staff work- ing those beds and the highest rate of hospi- tal readmissions. “You’ll be interested to know Lakeridge has a higher rate of readmission than Ontario and Ontario’s average is actually higher than the rest of the country,” said Hurley. “And what are readmissions really? Readmissions are situations where people come to hospi- tal, they’re sent home ostensibly they’re well but in fact they come back to the emerg here with a much more serious condition, typical- ly requiring a much longer period of hospital stay.” He estimates that the $215-million shortage translates to 675 fewer registered nurses and registered practical nurses at Durham hospi- tals and 1,300 fewer support staff than there would be if the funding was consistent with the rest of the country. Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins responded to the report via e-mail. He said his government is treating more patients, providing better care, reducing wait times to some of the shortest in the country. “More than a million more Ontarians -- and 94 per cent of all Ontarians -- now have access to a primary-care provider,” he said, adding a that a 2014 report by Service Employees International Union stated that Ontario and Quebec were at the front of the pack with respect to efficiently spending health-care dollars. “This year, we are building on what we’ve already achieved by increasing health-care funding by $1 billion and increasing fund- ing for Ontario’s hospitals by more than $345 million,” said Hoskins. “In Oshawa, we’ve increased funding for Lakeridge Health by more than $126 million since 2003, which includes an additional $2.5 million this year.” The government also pointed to criticism of the report which stated that it wasn’t a fair comparison as Ontario has a larger popula- tion and can spend less per capita than small- er provinces when it comes to fixed costs. Durham hospitals underfunded by $215 million, according to report by health-care workers’ unions OSHAWA — The Ontario Council of Hospital Unions released a report critical of the Province’s hospital funding. The report says if Ontario was funded at the same level as the rest of the country, it would mean more money for Durham hospitals and 675 more nurses. Michael Hurley, President of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions/CUPE, spoke in front of Lakeridge Health Oshawa.

Delivering a victim impact statement during a sen- tencing hearing for Matthew Bell, the woman said she was taken advantage of when she was in her teens, and still lives with the legacy of that abuse. “It is defeating and it is humiliating,” said the woman, whose identity is protected by a publication ban. “Jus- tice can never be served for me. Nothing can change what Matt did to me.” Bell has pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation and lur- ing, relating to a relationship he had five years ago with the girl, who was then 16. Bell, at the time owner of the Ajax Swim Club and a sought-after coach, was 30. Court has heard Bell engaged in extensive, sexually- charged communications with the girl, acting out sex- ual scenarios and requesting she send nude photos. On two occasions in early 2011 they engaged in sexual touching, court heard. Prosecutor Taran Boodoosingh called for a jail term of two years less a day for Bell, noting the coach took advantage of his position of authority to exploit the teen. “This case involves a significant breach of trust,” he said. “Mr. Bell preyed upon (the victim’s) vulnerability and exploited her dependence on him.” Defence lawyer Bernie O’Brien sought a sentence of four to six months, noting Bell’s plea of guilt and the absence of any prior criminal record. Bell, who used to travel the world in his role as a swimming coach and had turned the Ajax Swim Club into a highly successful venture, has lost virtually everything as a result of the charges, O’Brien said. “This man has suffered a life-long impairment he will never recover from,” O’Brien said. “He’s disgraced worldwide.” The victim, who read her impact statement from a witness box in the courtroom, said she’s struggled with anxiety, nightmares, and even thoughts of suicide. She said she was exploited by a man in whom she’d placed a great deal of trust. “I did not and could not understand consent in this situation,” she said. “How could I, when Matt was my coach?” Ontario Court Justice John Adamson is to rule on sentence in early November. 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 • Oc t o b e r 1 3 , 2 0 1 6 5 AP Dine-in, Take-OuT Or Delivery!

Fabulous Fall Fashions at Boot S o c k s Now I n ! ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m DURHAM -- An Ontario health-care advo- cacy organization is holding a series of pub- lic meetings in Durham about the merger of the Ajax-Pickering hospital with Lakeridge Health. Officials from the Ontario Health Coali- tion, a health-care lobby group that advo- cates for hospital funding, say they’re host- ing the meetings because they’re concerned about the high cost of the proposed merger and because they fear the costs will be paid for through cuts to front-line services. Earlier this year the minister of health announced he would support the break- up of Rouge Valley Health Systems and the amalgamation of the Ajax-Pickering hospi- tal with Lakeridge Health, and Rouge Val- ley’s Centenary site with The Scarborough Hospital. The proposed merger between the Ajax- Pickering hospital and Lakeridge is expect- ed to cost $18.8 million in one-time invest- ments and will result in savings of only $300,000 per year. Meanwhile, merging Rouge Valley’s Centenary site with The Scarborough Hospital is expected to cost $25.1 million. Meeting locations are as follows: Port Perry Thursday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. Scugog Community Centre, 1655 Reach St. Ajax Tuesday, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. Ajax Community Centre (HMS Room), 75 Centennial Rd.

Kathryn, her daughter Ashley and I went to the movies this past week. I was very excited. I love going to a movie. I love everything about it. I love the pop- corn, I love sitting in the dark. I espe- cially love the ‘Coming Attractions’. What I don’t love is noise. Well ... let’s be honest ... noisy people. Well, let’s be really honest ... dopes. If you’re making noise in a theatre, you’re a dope. Now, I should mention, that I am not a complete noise Nazi. I will tolerate a little pre-film chit-chat and snack-bag rattling. I will even grudgingly endure the occasional outburst during the Coming Attractions. But once the Fea- ture Presentation begin,s folks, it’s time to clam the hell up. I don’t think that’s asking too much. Especially when, just getting a seat, a bag of popcorn and a bottle of very expensive tap water has run me close to 30 bills. On this particular night, from the min- ute we walked in, I knew we were in for trouble. I just didn’t want to admit it to myself. I instantly spotted two or three Loud Talkers and a Smacky Eater. My Spidey senses were tingling like crazy. But as I say, I love going to a movie. And my eager anticipation of another night of losing myself in a wonderful film was clouding my better judgment. In point of fact, we should’ve bailed then and there. Things went from bad to worse in a hurry. To begin with there was a prepon- derance of ‘Can’t tell timers’ ... people who are perpetually late for films and who then expect the rest of us to simply take it in stride as they noisily block the screen, jostle our seats from behind or step on our toes as they blunder towards seats in the dark. Why can’t these peo- ple simply go to a bar? Nobody cares if you walk into a bar late. To make matters worse, one of the ‘Can’t tell timers’ was a double-threat; a Loud Talker and a Snack Rattler. When this dope wasn’t shouting at rock con- cert level, he was elbow deep in some- thing that sounded like it was wrapped in concertina wire. Next we were subject to something that I still find puzzling as, for the rest of the film, every five minutes or so, someone got up to go to the bathroom. I’m not kidding. It was like a psycho- somatic bladder infection was burning through the crowd. And it destroyed the movie. Part of me wanted to say some- thing and part of me wanted to leave. Of course, I did neither. Now, who’s the dope? -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column neil Crone Enter Laughing Residents 65 to 70 years of age eligible to get the vaccination at no charge The provincial Liberal government has wasted a lot of taxpayer money for the better part of a decade. The gas plant scandal under former Premier Dalton McGuinty cost us billions and more recently the $2 million payout to teacher unions to offset the costs in their last round of negotiations was a head scratcher. And let’s not forget the $70 million Pre- mier Kathleen Wynne spent on a pen- sion plan that was scrapped as soon as the federal Trudeau government decid- ed to boost the CPP. Yes, a lot of taxpayer money has been wasted. But one area where the govern- ment has spent wisely has been in its recent funding of a shingles vaccine to people 65 to 70 years of age. It’s normally $170 per dose. Shingles is a nasty virus that affects more than 42,000 people every year in Ontario and can cause complications such as loss of vision and debilitating nerve pain. Shingles creates painful skin rashes with blisters, usually on one side of the body, often in a strip. The virus expresses itself as chicken- pox at a young age and can reactivate later in life. “It’s almost like it’s sleeping in the body,” says Durham Region public health nurse Rosalie Fallis. The government is investing $68 mil- lion over three years in order to publicly fund the vaccine, which will reduce the likelihood of Ontario seniors developing the painful infection, and reduce visits to emergency rooms and hospitals. “Studies were shown that the vaccine reduced the risk of shingles by 51.3 per cent and reduced the most common complications, nerve pain associated with it, by 66.5 per cent,” says Fallis. The vaccine is the best way to prevent shingles. Given that most seniors are liv- ing on fixed incomes spending $170 on the vaccine wouldn’t be possible and that in turn could increase the spread of shingles. By providing the vaccine free of charge the government is helping offset healthcare costs plus easing the pain of those who may contract the virus. Ajax resident Bruce Sharpe contracted shingles in 2015 and said the pain was excruciating. He believes everyone eli- gible to receive the vaccine should. “I would have re-mortgaged by house not to go through what I went through,” he says. If you’re eligible for the vaccine please do so by contacting your doctor. The government has made the wise deci- sion to fund it, you should make the wise decision to receive it.

The date of manufacture can be found on the back of the smoke alarm. Smoke alarms are required on every sto- rey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. All smoke alarms should be tested monthly by pushing the ‘test’ button on the alarm, and batteries should be replaced at least once a year or when the alarm’s low battery signal begins to chirp.

OURLOWESTPRICESOFTHESEASON FRIDAY,OCTOBER 14 TO THURSDAY,OCTOBER 20,2016 S H O P T H E B A Y.C O M Turkey vultures begin long southern migration A flash of movement caught my eye when I was out in the yard the other day. Ring-billed gull, no doubt -- 99 percent of the time that’s what’s passing by. But I glanced up anyway, and this time it wasn’t. Instead of slim, bent wings pumping in a race to get their owner somewhere, typical gull behaviour, this bird held its wings stretched out in a long, wide, shallow V and seemed to be hanging in the air, in no hurry to get anywhere. And it was black. A turkey vulture, floating over the treetops. Then another one, and another. I watched them circle together in elegant slow motion, catching a rising current of warm air from the sun-kissed earth below. After riding ther- mals high into the sky, vultures glide off in their chosen direc- tion, gradually losing altitude, until they find another thermal to climb once more. In this way they can travel for long distances without moving a feather. They have to flap to get aloft, but once they catch that first morning updraft they‘re good to go all day. Turkey vulture migration is at its peak right now, so we could be seeing them any time on any sunny day. They usually travel in loose flocks, roosting together at night and performing stately aer- ial ballets when a ‘kettle’ of them circle together in migration. I used to think turkey vultures were kind of creepy, with their naked red heads and pointy bills designed for ripping. But there’s so much to appreciate about these unique, graceful and oh- so-valuable birds. Unique in that they find carrion with their ultra- keen sense of smell, while most birds can’t smell at all. Valuable in that they clean up rotting car- casses across the landscape, eradicating bacteria with their highly acidic digestive fluids. The most widespread of all New World vultures, they perform this free housekeeping service from the bottom tip of Argentina all the way to southern Ontario. And their nesting range is rap- idly spreading northward, given climate change, our growing deer population and lots more roads and resulting roadkill. Most still retire to the sunny south in winter, putting on quite a show at all hawk watches along the way, and many points in between. Watchers at Holiday Beach Con- servation Area near Amherstburg, at the west tip of Lake Erie, tallied 503 turkey vul- tures last Friday, 2,199 on Saturday and a whopping 6,415 on Monday. And the three from my yard hadn’t got there yet.

The pain is excruciating.” Also known as herpes zoster, shingles affects more than 42,000 people every year in Ontario and can cause complications such as loss of vision and debili- tating nerve pain. Shingles creates painful skin rashes with blisters, usually on one side of the body, often in a strip. The virus expresses itself as chickenpox at a young age and can reactivate later in life. “It’s almost like it’s sleeping in the body,” says Durham Region public health nurse Rosalie Fallis. Sharpe’s ordeal may have been avoided if he had received the shingles vac- cine, which is only recently available free of charge to people 65 to 70 years of age. It’s normally $170 per dose. Also, during 2016 only, any Ontarian who was born in 1945 can receive the vaccine for free up to Dec. 31 of this year, to ensure that individuals close to the upper age eligibility cut-off have sufficient time to get vaccinated. “It’s great news,” says Fallis. “The hope is that more people will be immu- nized and more people will be protected against shingles.” For 13 months, Sharpe couldn’t wear a shirt. He barely left the house. “Showering was difficult,” he says. “It just takes over your life, the chronic pain.” When he did leave the house, he’d place ice packs on his painful shoulder and arm, and would see three different doctors and visit a pain clinic. Finally, his life is getting back to normal, now that a combination of three medications seems to be working for him. The main ingredient he believes has helped: a synthetic cannabis pill. “Now it feels like a T-shirt label irritating me,” he says, explaining his pain has gone from what he would describe as 15 on a scale of 10 to a one out of 10. The government is investing $68 million over three years in order to public- ly fund the vaccine, which will reduce the likelihood of Ontario seniors devel- oping the painful infection, and reduce visits to emergency rooms and hospi- tals. “Studies were shown that the vaccine reduced the risk of shingles by 51.3 per cent and reduced the most common complications, nerve pain associ- ated with it, by 66.5 per cent,” says Fallis. The health department is responsible for distributing the vaccine to health- care providers. “There’s been an influx of orders,” Fallis says. “Health-care providers are very interested in immunizing the population between 65 and 70 and that small cohort as well.” The vaccine is the best way to prevent shingles, and can be administered to people 50 years and older. “It’s recommended 60 and beyond but it’s publicly funded 65 (to 70),” Fallis says. To Sharpe, everyone should receive the vaccine, even if they aren’t eligible to receive it free of charge. “I would have re-mortgaged my house not to go through what I went through,” he says. Those who are eligible for the shingles vaccine should contact their primary care doctor or nurse practitioner to receive it.

Region is steeped in history, but also known for its wine and food A number of requests have been made regarding the Loire Valley wine region in Central France. Here is a very brief syn- opsis of this lovely valley. The 1,000-kilometre long Loire River is the focal point of an area that is steeped in history. Historical and literary figures such as the Julius and Augustus Caesar, the Three Musketeers, Catherine de Medi- ci, Leonardo Da Vinci, Richard the Lion Heart, Joan of Arc, Alexander Dumas, Ernest Hemingway, Descartes and a host of others are part of its exciting saga. This area is amazingly lovely. Sunlight seems to exhibit a golden hue to the air and magnificent castles that line its banks. The Loire is indeed one very special spot. However it is not just scenery that exists here as this area is also known for its wine and food. For its size, the Loire Valley is a study in diverseness of micro-climate, soil, topography and culture. The Loire River travels from its rugged source near Auvergne flowing through wine country which basically begins around the commune of Pouilly-Sur- Loire (Pouilly Fume wine) not far from Sancere (Pouilly Fuisse wine) and ends some 300 km. north near the Atlantic in Nantes. The wines for the most part are fresh and made to consume at a young age, however, as usual there are always exceptions. The majority of the dry, fruity, light and crisp wine is white from Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Melon, but some red wine is produced mainly Cab- ernet Franc but Gamay Noir and Pinot Noir are used in some areas. Rose, spar- kling and dessert wines (Vouvray) are also produced and of high quality. The major French Loire wine depart- ments are Loiret, Loir-et-Cher, Indre- et-Loire (Touraine), Maine-et-Loire (Anjou), and Loire-Atlantique (Musca- det). In the ‘middle ages’ magnificent Loire wines were more highly prized than even Bordeaux. In the year 2000 most of the Loire Val- ley and its wine producing regions were included as a World Heritage Site. Take a wine tasting tour of the Loire Valley by trying these wine/food pair- ings: Les Charmelles Sancere Vintages #448571 $27.95 (garden salads/sea- food).

The Loire Valley in central Francehas much to offer wine lovers Wine With Chuck Byers Impaired charges laid by Durham police after car crashes into house OSHAWA -- A 34-year-old Whitby man was arrested for impaired driving after a vehicle crashed into the front of a house in Oshawa. At about 2:45 a.m. on Oct. 12, an officer observed a grey Honda travelling south- bound on Albert Street in Oshawa -- a one-way street for northbound traffic. As the Honda was southbound on Drew Street, the officer activated the cruiser’s roof lights and the Honda accelerated. It drove through the stop sign at Olive Ave- nue and lost control as it attempted to turn east onto Mitchell Avenue, where it struck a house on Drew Street, causing about $10,000 worth of damage. The driver, who was not injured, was arrested without further incident. Andrew Campbell, 34, of Jansen Court in Whitby, is charged with impaired driving, exceeding the blood alcohol limit of 80 mil- ligrams, and failure to stop for police. He was later released on a promise to appear. Anyone with information about this inci- dent is asked to contact Constable Gajew- ski of Central East Division at 1-888-579- 1520 ext. 5100. Anonymous information can be sent to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.durhamregionalcrimestop- pers.ca and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward. 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 • Oc t o b e r 1 3 , 2 0 1 6 13 AP 172 Harwood A Suite 101,Ajax (located in the Ajax Plaza) 905-683-1391 •Dental Treatments for the whole family. •Digital X-Rays,Intra Oral Camera •Cosmetic Dentistry,Wisdom Teeth,Surgery, Dental Implants •Flexible Payment Options •TV’s in all rooms DentAl CAre for ADultS,KiDS AnD GreAt BiG BABieS.Understanding Your Needs Since 1997!

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.

Best to take the Pumpkin- ville Express, a free shuttle bus with a direct route to all of the fun. The bus service runs roughly every 20 minutes from two locations: Ajax Town Hall and J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate. For questions, e-mail stacy.chong@ ajax.ca or call 905-619-2529. Okay, enough Halloween stuff.

Audiences eating up festivals, jamborees Catching a music jamboree in Young’s Point this summer made me realize there’s a whole lot of activity happening at country music festivals throughout Ontar- io. According to some sources, it has never been better. The way some of these shows work is by a potpourri of country performances as opposed to one singular artist. This sometimes makes for an uneven level of tal- ent, but having said that, for the most part I was pleasantly sur- prised by how much good enter- tainment and good times are out there to be had in the country music field. Impressive, too, are the songs chosen for the play list. Didn’t catch her name but one singer, back-to-back, covered two of my favorite all-time songs: I Don’t Hurt Anymore (Hank Snow, 1954) and Making Believe (Kitty Wells, 1955). Evidently, there is no mistaking that audiences are having so much fun at these pop- ular festivals and jamborees. The star performer at this par- ticular country lane bonanza was Cameron von Criegern, an up- and-coming new country sing- er/songwriter. He is only 18, but judging by his high-quality, con- fidence-laden performance, von Criegern is sure to fulfill his ambi- tion to climb the ladder to the top of the list in country music. He reminds me of Dwight Yoakam, and von Criegern should have no trouble following in his footsteps. Like Yoakam, who broke the country charts with Johnny Hor- ton’s 1956 hit Honky-Tonk Man, von Criegern showed his versa- tility and surety by doing a great rendition of George Jones’ The Race Is On (1965) and a stel- lar, swift delivery on the popular Folsom Prison Blues, originally recorded by Johnny Cash in 1956 and 1968. Honing his talent, von Criegern was a regular performer at Dr. J’s Landing 27 or The Ranch in his hometown, Peterborough. Notably, he was a finalist in the Magna Hoedown Showdown event in Markham and took part in competitions at Ottawa’s Cen- trepoint Theatre as well as The Opera House in Toronto.

New arts council website coming as well DURHAM -- The Ontario Arts Council will have a new online grant application and management system, Nova, ready for mid-December. “Applicants will be able to apply online to 2017 granting program deadlines,” states a press release. “The new applica- tion process will be easier for applicants -- eliminating the paper-driven steps that included photocopying and post- age. This process will be more straight- forward, efficient and cost-effective for both applicants and OAC. “A small number of programs with fall 2016 deadlines have been chosen as Nova pilot projects. We have begun with two programs for operating funding, Theatre Organizations and Presenter/ Producer. We expect to pilot three pro- grams for project funding. These will be identified on their program pages on OAC’s website, two months before the existing 2016 program deadline. Appli- cants to all other 2016 granting programs will continue to follow the paper process to apply.” The OAC is launching a new website, also in mid-December, along with the shift to Nova.

The most common question I am asked is: “Why don’t we train more often?” Our elementary group trains twice per week and the high school group trains three times per week. The think- ing behind our program is to keep our young athletes healthy by avoiding overuse injuries, which are by far the most common injuries in youth sports. Overuse injuries are defined by the American Medical Society of Sports Medicine as injuries which occur due to repetitive submaximal loading of the musculoskeletal system when rest is not adequate to allow for structural adap- tation to take place. I cannot think of a fundamental movement skill that is more repetitive than running. In recent times, the increased focus on high performance, along with hopes of getting athletic scholarships and mak- ing national teams, has led to kids tak- ing part in high intensity training pro- grams at a much younger age. Many of these programs have given little consideration to adequate rest and recovery. Sadly, this behaviour is most common amongst the more natural- ly talented athletes and their parents, many of whom never go on to reach their full potential because of injuries. We hope that a modest two-day-per- week training commitment will allow our elementary kids to participate in other sports, where they can continue to develop their overall athletic ability. Research suggests athletes who have early specialized training are more like- ly to quit playing their sport at an earli- er age due to injury or burnout from the sport. In addition, it is important to note recovery is a critical component of any training program. With our high school group, many utilize the services of RMTs and chiropractors to aid in their recov- ery and to ensure proper biomechani- cal function as a pro-active method of avoiding injury. This is probably not what most par- ents want to hear, but training less can actually help young athletes reach their full potential, because it’s not always about training hard. Less can be best.

Contact him at info@speedacademy.ca Tony Sharpe Guest columnist Plenty of Durham Region talent on opening day rosters DURHAM — Ten players originally from Durham Region found their way on to National Hockey League rosters as the 2016-17 season kicked off. Ajax’s Devin Shore and Pickering’s Drake Caggiula were the most surprising locals to stick with their big-league clubs, the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers respectively. Both 22, Shore and Caggiula are former teammates with the Ajax-Pickering Raid- ers who played NCAA hockey prior to beginning their pro careers. Shore was having an excellent season in the AHL last season, and played three games with the Stars, but missed the second half with a shoulder injury that required surgery. He’s a second round draft pick of the Stars who spent three years at the University of Maine. Caggiula was undrafted and signed by the Oilers as a free agent after spending the past four season at the University of North Dakota, where he had 25 goals and 51 points in 39 games last season. His NHL debut may be delayed by injury. Following is a list of the other Durham Region players on NHL rosters: Andy Andreoff, 25, Pickering, Los Angeles Kings Josh Bailey, 27, Bowmanville, New York Islanders Bryan Bickell, 30, Orono, Carolina Hur- ricanes Brent Burns, 31, Ajax, San Jose Sharks Chris Kelly, 35, Bowmanville, Ottawa Senators Mitch Marner, 19, Bowmanville, Toron- to Maple Leafs James Neal, 29, Whitby, Nashville Predators Shawn Thornton, 39, Oshawa, Florida Panthers Notes: Burns was born in Ajax but moved to Lindsay at age six and later to Barrie ... Marner was born in Bowmanville but spent most of his minor hockey career in the GTA ... Tyler Seguin of the Dallas Stars was born in Brampton but spent several years playing minor hockey in Whitby. Pickering’s Caggiula, Ajax’s Shore crack NHL Panthers pick up first win Whitby Fury spoils Pickering home-opener on Thanksgiving Day BY BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers picked up their first win of the Ontar- io Junior Hockey League season Satur- day, Oct. 8, then gave the Whitby Fury a run for the money in their home opener at the renovated Pickering Recreation Complex on Thanksgiving Monday. The win came in Orangeville, 4-1 over the Flyers, while the loss came by a 3-2 count over a Fury team that is off to a very good start. The Fury improved to 9-2-0-1 and remain in a tight race for first place in the East Division, while the Panthers are now 1-9-0-1 and tied for last in the North Division, but still remarkably within striking range of a playoff spot. Although still very early, it sure seems to be shaping up that Trenton (10-1- 0-0), Whitby, Wellington (9-2-1-0), Cobourg (9-1-0-0), Stouffville (9-2-1- 0), Markham (7-4-0-1) and Kingston (5-3-1-3) will take the first seven play- off spots up for grabs between the two divisions, leaving Pickering to battle it out with Newmarket (2-9-0-1), Aurora (2-10-0-1) and Lindsay (1-8-0-1) for the eighth. A power-play goal by Andrew Poulias midway through the third period pulled the Panthers to within one of the Fury Monday, but they couldn’t beat Whitby goalie Austin Cain again. Thomas Hernandez also scored for Pickering, while Brock Welsh, Ryan Heeps and Luke Keenan tallied for the Fury. Goalie Graham Schropp made 44 saves to lead the Panthers to their first win Saturday. Davis Teigen-Katsumi scored twice and captain Tiger McDon- ald had a goal and two assists to pace the offence, while Joseph Franzin notched the other. A night earlier, in a battle of two win- less clubs, the Lindsay Muskies took control in the second half of the game to double the Panthers 8-4. Eric Decker scored twice in defeat.

Men’s team ranked in CIS top-10 for first time BY BRIAN McNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — It will be interesting to see what Curtis Hodgins can do at the helm of the UOIT men’s hockey team right from the get- go of this Ontario University Athletics sea- son. So far, so good, as the Ridgebacks prepare for their first home games of the regular sea- son this weekend, Friday, Oct. 14 against Laurentian at 7:30 p.m. and the next day against Nipissing at 3:30 p.m. at the Campus Ice Centre The Ridgebacks began the season on the road last weekend and came home with their best start in program history, defeat- ing Ottawa 3-0 Friday, Oct. 7 and McGill 5-2 Saturday. For their efforts, the Ridgebacks find themselves nationally ranked for the first time, sitting ninth in the initial CIS list of the season. Hodgins set the bar high last year, coach- ing the team to its first-ever OUA playoff series win, and he recognizes it will be dif- ficult to surpass this season. But he is excited about getting to imple- ment his own systems from the begin- ning and continue building towards what he hopes one day will be an OUA cham- pionship. Last year, with ongoing issues from a brain injury causing Craig Fisher to step down, Hodgins was hired away from the Cobourg Cougars mid-season, and led the team to a thrilling three-game series win over Queen’s in the East Conference quarter-finals. This year, it’s his team. “From my own selfish end here, I’m look- ing forward to being with the team right from day one,” Hodgins said. “It’s been great to have a training camp with them and implement some things early. I just think our team is a little bit faster. Some of the guys we’ve added are pretty good skaters. If there’s one thing I thought we lacked last year is a little bit of team speed.” Returning goalie Brendan O’Neill stopped all 31 shots he faced, including 13 in the third period to earn his second career shut- out, as the Ridgebacks rudely welcomed back Ottawa from a two-year suspension Friday. Danny Elser scored twice to pace the offence. Saturday, captain Cameron Yuill scored twice and Tyson Teichmann made 37 saves in his first game with the Ridgebacks, who won for the first time ever on the road against McGill and just the second time in 11 games all told. Teichmann, a former OHL goalie who played the past two seasons with St. Thom- as University, gives Hodgins two strong goalies, a luxury the team did not have last season. “That wasn’t a healthy situation to play (O’Neill) 27 out of the 28 games last year,” Hodgins pointed out. “It was kind of out of necessity, but you’ve got to have some goal- tending depth. If you’re always one injury away from catastrophe, it’s not a good feel- ing for anybody. We’ll let those guys battle it out.” Hodgins pointed to the likes of Ben Blas- ko, last year’s top scorer, Mitch Bennett and Elser as offensive catalysts for the team, and they didn’t disappoint during the opening weekend, combining for eight points. But, Hodgins is also pleased with the team’s depth and attitude as it tries to match or better its record of 18-8-2 last season, which was good for fourth place in a stacked east conference. “We’re not going to catch anybody by sur- prise this year. We play in a very tough con- ference, this east conference, there’s no off nights at all, so we’ll need to be ready,” he said. “We’ve got to be patient, but at the same time I say to my players that we’re not taking a back seat to anybody.” Ridgebacks hockey historically hot to start off UOIT photo OSHAWA -- Danny Elser scored twice to lead the UOIT Ridgebacks to a 3-0 win over the University of Ottawa to open the 2016-17 OUA men’s hockey season BY BRIAN McNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — The UOIT women’s hockey team has two things it could build off in pre- paring for the start of the Ontario University Athletics season this weekend. The more recent is a 1-0 victory for the Ridgebacks over the Ryerson Rams in the final pre-season contest, which helps to erase the memory of losing their previous four exhibition games. Perhaps more important, however, was the manner in which the Ridgebacks finished last season, winning their final three games to salvage something of an otherwise diffi- cult 8-14-2 campaign. “We’re going to try to build off that for sure,” said Justin Caruana, who was in his first sea- son as head coach last year. “Obviously it wasn’t the end result we wanted last year, but it was our first year with the program and with a new group of girls, so it was kind of a transition year. “It was an adjustment for the first little bit for sure, but we definitely finished on a strong note and we were happy to see that, so we’re hoping to build off that and bring it into this year,” he added. The Ridgebacks will bring back 18 players from last year’s team, including the top nine scorers, and add six freshmen to the mix, including defencemen Nicole Zabel and Kassidy Ford. “I think they’re going to be able to step in and really help solidify our back end, which was weak at times last year, I guess you could say,” said Caruana, whose club allowed 79 goals in 24 games, second worst in the league. Defence and goaltending sure weren’t a problem in the pre-season final, as newcom- er Briar Hughes and returnee Tori Campbell combined for a shutout, making 21 and 18 saves respectively. Bowmanville’s Shanelle Doucette scored the lone goal on a set up from Whitby defenceman Jenna Carter. The Ridgeback open on Saturday, Oct. 15 at York University before their home opener the next day at 3:30 p.m. against the Nipissing Lakers at the Campus Ice centre. The Ridgebacks are led offensively by Samantha Forchielli, who had a team-high 14 points last season, Chelsea Ball, Kassidy Nauboris, Nicole Gorda and captain Mikaeli Cavell. Caruana said he tinkered with the lines throughout the pre-season and was happy enough with what he saw, despite three close losses to Atlantic Canada competition and a 7-0 blowout against the Toronto Furies of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. “On the whole, the effort and the little things, habits, are there and we’re happy to see that. Now we just need to translate that into wins,” he said. “We really want to be one of those hard-working teams that whoever we play.
