The school is one of 12 in Oshawa that are part of the Make a Difference program aimed at areas with higher than average poverty rates. The goal is to pro- vide support for kids in their early development allowing for long-term success. BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com Bobby Orr Public School is located in south Oshawa — just a few blocks from the General Motors plant that has shed thousands of well-paying manufacturing jobs in the past decade, leaving many in the area precariously employed. When school principal Kevina Morrison enters a Grade 5 class- room, the kids are using laptops and tablets to research an ani- mal they’ve each selected and they’re eager to share what they’ve learned. Did she know that Tasmanian devils are nocturnal and were named an endangered species in 2008? asks one student. Anoth- er shows her pages filled with notes and diagrams on tree frogs. “What I see from the students are kids that are competitive, that want to be successful, kids that see a future for themselves,” says Morrison of her school. Bobby Orr is part of the Lakeview neighbourhood, a prior- ity neighbourhood identified through the Region of Durham’s Health Neighbourhoods program. Early childhood development indicators show twice as many children in Lakeview are vulnerable when it comes to physical health, emotional maturity and language and cognitive develop- ment. More than a third —38.4 per cent — of children under the age of six live in a low-income household, a rate three times the aver- age in Durham Region. In 2013, Bobby Orr became one of 12 schools in Oshawa to be selected for the Make a Difference program, created by the Dur- ham District School Board (DDSB) as a response to rates of pov- erty two or three times higher than average in Durham. “It’s a call to action for us to do something and to look at what we can do next to support our students, our families and the schools,” said Lisa Millar, superintendent of education opera- tions for the DDSB, adding the template for the program is some- thing the board is now sharing with others in Ontario. Millar explains there’s a great deal of research that shows poverty has a negative impact on early learning and success in school. GROWING UP POOR IN DURHAM In 1989, the federal government vowed to eradicate child poverty by the year 2000, yet little progress has been made. But in Durham Region steps are being taken to address the problem.

Hockey great Wayne Gretzky thrills large Oshawa gathering at book signing ‘99: stories of the Game’ tells tales of nHL’s 99-year history BY BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — Hundreds of hockey fans of all ages and backgrounds lined up for hours to meet Wayne Gretzky at Costco Oshawa Monday, Oct. 17, and those who did were not disappointed, no matter the tears for one. Heather Coutts, a 40-year-old Ajax resi- dent who was sporting a Roberto Alomar Toronto Blue Jays T-shirt, was so over- whelmed at meeting her childhood hero she was sobbing as she walked off with her signed copy of Gretzky’s new book, 99: Sto- ries of the Game. “I never saw him play at a game, but I grew up watching him on TV and this is the first time I’ve been able to personally see him,” she said through her tears. “It was an awe- some experience.” Gretzky, known as the Great One since a record-shattering NHL career, drew a crowd of more than 500 people to the store on Rit- son Road North, some who had lined up since the morning. Situated near the southwest corner of the store, Gretzky began signing copies of his book prior to the scheduled 7 p.m. start, as the line snaked down one aside, along the south wall, out the door and spilled out along the outdoor east wall. Although some were left disappointed by not reaching their destination, those who did were thrilled. Jason Liebregts / Metroland OSHAWA -- Ainsley and Aaron Nelson have their book signed by Wayne Gretzky during a book signing of 99 Stories of the Game at the Oshawa Costco on Monday, Oct. 17. “I remember watching him and growing up with him,” said 41-year-old Oshawa resi- dent John Hutyra, who was there with his daughter, Larissa. “He’s a part of my child- hood, part of me going out and playing hockey with the guys, and just pretending to be like him, being in the parks and lots until the sun went down.” Larissa, a Grade 9 student at Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School, is too young to have seen Gretzky play her- self, but is nevertheless a big fan. “I’m into hockey because of my dad and I learned about Wayne through school and through my dad,” she said, clutching a No. 99 Edmonton Oilers jersey. “I’ve watched videos of him playing and he inspired me so much to stay into hockey.” Another young hockey player, nine-year- old Gavin Banks of Oshawa, had also been well educated on the NHL’s career leader in goals, assists and points. “No other player has ever been better than him,” the Grade 4 Jeanne Sauve Public School student opined. “I’ve heard all about him. Everybody that knows about hockey knows about him.” Don MacIntyre, a 45-year-old Oshawa res- ident, was there with his son Donnie, and fondly recalled spending time with his own dad in the presence of Gretzky. “I remember seeing him with my dad, I think it was Maple Leaf Gardens, playing in his rookie year,” MacIntyre said. “It was like, ‘Keep an eye on No. 99 there, he’s supposed to be an up-and-coming star’, so I guess he was.” The book, which was written with Kirtsie Day and released on Oct. 15, coincides with the NHL’s 99th anniversary. Gretzky writes not only about his own storied career, but also the past that inspired him and the state of the game today. For Raymond Ross, 66, it will make the ideal Christmas present for his son, Michael, who lives in San Diego. “I’ll enjoy this book and I know my son will,” said Ross, who was impressed with the quick visit he had with Gretzky. “It was just a wonderful experience I’ll cherish for sure.” Sentencing hearing in early November BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A teenaged girl accused of injuring fellow students during a violent outburst last February at her Pickering high school has pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing. The girl, 15, entered pleas Mon- day morning, Oct. 17, in youth court in Oshawa. The teen, whose identity is pro- tected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, faced multiple counts of assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm, as well as assault and possession of a dangerous weapon. She was taken into custody following a disturbance on the morning of Feb. 23 at Dunbarton High School, during which witnesses said a girl armed with two knives made her way through the hallways, slashing at victims. She was restrained by staff members. Five students and two staff members at the Pickering school were hurt; none of the injuries was life-threatening. The school reopened the next day. During earlier proceedings a video played in court depicted the events. Inci- dents involving a number of students were captured by cameras in hallways throughout the school. The cameras also caught the moment when staff members restrained the girl. A court-ordered psychiatric assess- ment of the accused girl was conducted. That will factor into the sentencing, said defence lawyer Tom Balka. “There will be a lot of discussion about her mental health issues,” Balka said. A sentencing hearing has been sched- uled for 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 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 4 AP NO INTEREST,NO PAYMENT FOR1FULL YEAR OR PAY NO hST!* OSHAW A 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa •905-723-4561 Hours: Mon. - Wed. 10-6, Thurs.• Fri. 10-9, Sat. 10-6, Sun. 11-5 *O.A.C. and $49.99 admin fee.

He said many things during that speech but the most important topic of which he spoke was child poverty. It was a national horror, he said, a nation- al shame. He then announced he would dedicate the last year of his leadership to finding a solution “for these forgotten chil- dren.” A vote was then cast in favour of his motion to eliminate child poverty by the year 2000. It received support from every MP in the House that day. If Broadbent thought it was shameful child poverty existed in Canada in 1989 imagine how he feels today, 27 years later? Hundreds of thousands of Canadian chil- dren are growing up in poverty. In Ontar- io, more than 370,000 children (or 13.8 per cent) lived in a low-income household in 2013, only slightly better than the national average of 14.3 per cent. According to UNICEF, the child poverty rate for industrial countries ranges from five per cent in Iceland to 25 per cent in Romania. Canada ranks in the middle. Locally in Oshawa, Broadbent’s former riding, more than a third — 38.4 per cent — of children under the age of six live in a low-income household, a rate three times the average in Durham Region. So much for eradicating poverty by the year 2000. Studies suggest poverty limits a child’s future. It often means food insecurity, an inability to fully participate at school, a lack of positive activities and difficulty access- ing services such as eye and dental care, even post-secondary education. While poverty does place significant bar- riers before children growing up in Dur- ham Region and across Canada there are organizations working hard to help. In 2013, Bobby Orr Public School became one of 12 schools in Oshawa to be selected for the Make a Difference program, created by the Durham District School Board. The Make a Difference program takes a broad approach and includes train- ing for teachers, early childhood educa- tion before kids enter school to make sure they’re ready, supporting child nutrition through breakfast and snack programs, the creation of parent literacy centres, men- tal health support and oral language pro- grams aimed at young children. In Durham, some extra support is funded by the Province, but a lot of it comes from 28 community organizations. One of those is the local Boys and Girls Club which runs an after-school program at Bobby Orr, a much-needed service in a community where after-school daycare rates are unaf- fordable for many. Darlene Ciuffetelli-Parker is an associate professor of education at Brock University and said schools that are successful have hero teachers who spend their after-school hours writing grant requests for play- grounds and breakfast programs. While hero teachers should be com- mended for addressing child poverty, where are our hero legislators? They stood up, admitted child poverty was a problem in 1989. Where are they today? Canada is one of the wealthiest nations in the world. There is no reason child poverty should be at the levels it’s at today. This is a problem that cannot be ignored any fur- ther. All agree children are our future but if we as Canadians don’t set them up for success what type of future will this coun- try have? Let your MP know today some- thing must be done to reduce child poverty before it’s too late. Child poverty continues to be Canada’s shame Leapfrogging the old man My ex-wife Suzanne and I moved our first-born into his new digs in Graven- hurst this past Saturday. He’s moving on and upwards in life, embracing the risk of leaving one great job for another that offers even more growth, more poten- tial. Picking up his life and restarting, solo, in a new town and a new adven- ture. He did that. Not us. And, once we’d finished cussing him and his sofas and the three flights of steps from the cube van to his old apartment ... we couldn’t tell him enough how proud we were of him. There are a lot of big moments involved in raising children. Things that nobody tells you about and nothing can prepare you for. The jaw-dropping hor- ror of realizing a diaper is not going to contain the amount of poop a kid is cur- rently pumping into it. The first time you realize that the protective wall you thought you’d built around your child has been breached by some kid intent on spreading hurt. The first time you see your child muster courage to deal with said breach. Your first trip to the hospital with your kid. And that won- derful moment when it dawns on you that you not only love your children, you actually like them. I like my son. I like both my sons, enormously. I like my step-daugh- ter immensely too. She’s a peach. And it thrills me to the marrow when I see other people liking them as well. They’re likeable, affable, good, young people. And most of that is on them. Kathryn, Suzanne and I just did our best to make sure they had shoes, food and books in those dicey early years and we tried not to mess them up too much. Driving back to my son’s apartment, after dropping off the cube van, we were both marvelling at how beautiful his newly adopted part of the province was and how incredibly cool his new place of work seemed. Turning to him, I said, smiling “How did you manage to wankle all of this, anyway?” His grin matched mine as he replied, easily, “I just knew it was something I wanted to do”. That’s a simple answer but there’s a whole lot going on in there. Some folks never figure out what they want to do in this life. Others might get a bead on it but can’t quite find the courage to make it happen. I’ve been in both places. I realized, suddenly, that I was being leapfrogged by my son. And I don’t think he understood what a huge gift that was to me. When you see someone you not only love, but like, succeeding in this world and headed well along the path of their bliss, as a parent it just doesn’t get any better than that. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column neil Crone Enter Laughing 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 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 7 P It can affect your sleep, your marriage and your job. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your neck hurts and the pain just won’t go away! We are Dr. Michael Gauthier and Dr. Mark Kasiban, owners of Ajax Family Chiropractic. Over the past 18 years since we’ve opened the doors, we’ve seen hundreds of people with neck pain, arm problems and headaches leave the office pain free. Because patients tell us too often…“I only wished I had found you sooner”, we’re running a special two week Neck Pain Evaluation for those suffering with neck problems. Feel the Improvement – and Say “Yes” to Life Again With our “Neck Pain Evaluation” we’ll be able find the problem and then correct it. Think of how you’ll feel in just a few short weeks. See and feel your life change for the better. Start your body on the way to pain-free, normal living. Feel tight joints rest, relax, free up. Feel muscles tied in knots become more supple.

You’re able to live life like a normal person again, without neck pain -- able to play with your kids, enjoy time with friends, and not have to worry that your pain will hit you at just the wrong time. “Will This Really Work For Me?” Chiropractic has been around for over a hundred years, and has been used to help everyone from tiny babies to the elderly. Even top sports star and entertainers… like Tiger Woods, Emmitt Smith, Tony Robbins, Joe Montana, Lance Armstrong, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson. These professional athletes have the money to hire any kind of doctors they want, yet they choose to have a chiropractor on their team. A recent scientific study showed chiropractic adjustments outperformed massage treatments in reducing pain. The study concluded that patients with chronic neck pain showed “clinically important improvements from a course of spinal manipulation… The current evidence does not support a similar level of benefit from massage.” – J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2007 In another study comparing acupuncture, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and spinal manipulation found… “After a median intervention period of 30 days, spinal manipulation was the only intervention that achieved statistically significant improvements.” - J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1999 In addition to that, here’s what some of the top medical researchers had to say … Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was “more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets, and ultrasound.” – Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery The 9 Most Dangerous Words A Person With Neck Pain Can Say The big myth about health problems is “maybe it will just go away on its own.” A 1998 study in the British Medical Journal proved thismythfalse,showingthatmostbackpainsufferers who do nothing will have pain 12 months later.

The Delaney ice rink is located at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The announcement was made at the Oct. 17 council meeting, the first one since John- son’s death on Sept. 27. A moment of silence was observed in his honour. Johnson spent nearly three decades rep- resenting the north Pickering community on council. Prevedel called Johnson “down-to-earth, always willing to have a laugh and a chat with staff. “He was really appreciated by staff and we’re going to really miss him,” he said. A motion was also passed to rename Cla- remont Park after the late councillor.

Ajax man in hospital after car collides with truck PICKERING -- A 22-year-old Ajax man is now in serious condition after his car collided with a garbage truck in Pickering Wednesday morning. On Oct. 19 at around 6:45 a.m., officers from West Division were called to Bayly Street near Squires Beach Road regarding a serious motor vehicle collision. A brown Toyota Camry was eastbound on Bayly Street when it collided with a garbage truck travel- ling northbound on Squires Beach Road. A traffic light on the west side of the intersec- tion was damaged and fell to the roadway. The 22-year-old driver of the Camry was transported to a Toronto hospital and was listed in serious condition Wednesday. The 48-year-old man driving the garbage truck was uninjured and remained at the scene. Anyone with information or who witnessed this collision is asked to call D/Cst.

The bottom line, cost went up 50 per cent and the unit cost in cents/kwh went from 17.05 to 19.25 -- a 13 per cent increase.

Tom Clarkson Greenwood Letters to the editor Traffic changes were needed long before Hwy. 407 was approved through Durham Region To the editor: Re: Commuter chaos on Taunton, news, Oct. 6 Steven Kemp, Durham Region traffic engineering and operations manager, and Paul Ralph, commissioner of develop- ment services Oshawa, must surely be dis- ingenuous regarding their position(s) on traffic management in Durham Region. Examples of poor road infrastructure planning abound. To wit: Harmony Road from Rossland to Taunton roads should have been widened to four lanes eons ago. Ask any driver who gets stuck behind a gravel, cement or dump truck trying to climb northward. West Adelaide Avenue beyond Thornton and Manning roads at Garrard Road should, likewise, have been connected eons ago. Planners knew of the Hwy. 407 ages ago and yet Harmony north of Taunton is only now getting necessary water main infra- structure. The horse is already out of the barn as they say. Taunton from Somer- ville Street to Trulls Road is an embarrass- ment. Planners should have known four lanes would be insufficient. There should be two left northbound turns from east- bound Taunton onto northbound Harmo- ny and, likewise, two turns going into the retail centre just east of Harmony. Who was/is the brain trust behind the oxymoronic engineering of Anderson Street and Taunton? There should be right turn lanes -- north and southbound -- on Anderson to enhance the flow of traffic. And who was/is the genius who decided to put a bus stop on southbound Ander- son at Taunton mere metres above the intersection, paralyzing morning traf- fic. Exclusive turn lanes for the board of education, Durham Regional Police and EMS central division headquarters, and Sinclair Secondary school should have been implemented long, long ago. Ander- son and Taunton paralyze traffic in every direction. And, once again. why is Garden Street reduced to two lanes between Ross- land and Taunton? The 50km/h speed limit on Conlin Road from Anderson to UOIT is also an absur- dity given practically no one lives on it. I could go on -- Bloor Street east of Harmo- ny, the ridiculously short light for south- bound Harmony traffic on to westbound Hwy. 401, Rossland between Ritson and Harmony roads -- but you get the picture. The aforementioned are all changes that were needed long before the current influx of new residents. To say otherwise is insult- ing. Louis MacPherson Bowmanville Advanced green lights could ease traffic woes along Taunton Road To the editor: Re: Traffic chaos on Taunton, news, Oct. 6 I read with great interest the story on traf- fic woes in the north end. I’ve lived north of Taunton Road for the past nine years, and the traffic problem just keeps getting worse ... and we’re told to suck it up! Really? I’ve called the Region of Durham as well as City Hall asking why street lights equipped with advanced green lights are not in opera- tion 24/7. I was told three or more cars must be waiting for the advanced light to work. I beg to differ. It seems different at many intersections. I’m sure they could be pro- grammed to work 24/7. It might not solve all of the traffic woes on Taunton but if the advanced signals worked 24/7 even if only one car is waiting to turn ,it might help some of the traffic congestion on Taunton. Linda Landry 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 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 10 AP “What we find is that if we don’t do initia- tives like Make a Difference, and we don’t put academic interventions in place, stu- dents aren’t going to improve.” The Make a Difference program takes a broad approach and includes training for teachers, early childhood education before kids enter school to make sure they’re ready, supporting child nutrition through break- fast and snack programs, the creation of parent literacy centres, mental health sup- port and oral language programs aimed at young children. “You’re not going to be able to read and write unless you can speak first,” points out Morrison. Millar says it’s no secret education is the great equalizer. “If we begin to address pov- erty early on, there’s a direct correlation to graduation rates in high school,” she said. When it comes to poverty support, there is no uniform level of service across the prov- ince’s schools. In Durham, some extra support is funded by the Province, but a lot of it comes from the 28 community organizations. One example is the local Boys and Girls Club which runs an after-school program at Bobby Orr, a much-needed service in a community where after-school daycare rates are unaffordable for many. Darlene Ciuffetelli-Parker is an associate professor of education at Brock University, who has looked at how schools tackle pov- erty. Schools that are successful have hero teachers who spend their after-school hours writing grant requests for playgrounds and breakfast programs, she said. They are schools that respect the dignity of parents, that make community connections. “It does revolve around how school com- munities understand deeply what it means to live in poverty and not to blame students and parents for living in poverty, but blam- ing the conditions of poverty,” she said. But she cautions that schools cannot erad- icate poverty as it requires a more complex economic solution. “Schools can fix the conditions of poverty only when the students are at school,” she explains. Simcoe Hall Settlement House has been reaching out to Oshawa families living in poverty for 81 years, said executive director Elizabeth Fernandes, and still the problem of poverty persists. Before becoming executive director, she ran the organization’s food bank for eight years and saw a mix of families looking for support. Some were generationally poor, Simcoe Hall clients who visited as children now visiting with their own kids, while oth- ers suffered from situational poverty as the region’s manufacturing industry hit tough times. In 2015, the organization served 8,023 people, including 2,432 children. Families can visit the food bank once a month and Fernandes said she wishes people could visit more frequently, but the organization already goes through 60,000 pounds of food every three months. Fernandes emphasizes the importance of life and employment skills as the key to breaking out of poverty. One program, con- ducted through the local YMCA sees youth paid a minimum wage to take a four-week course where they learn those essential skills. “It’s been a great course because I’ve seen some of the kids that have been with their parents that are in this generational thing of the OW (Ontario Works) and that going on and they’re breaking out of it,” said Fer- nandes. “It’s how to address a person when going somewhere and looking for a job, and just giving them those coping skills, how to budget your money, how to find a job, how to go about doing up a resume, all those things.” Fernandes said the key to helping children experiencing poverty is helping their par- ents and, as it stands, there are a lot of barri- ers to people breaking the cycle. She points out people who receive Ontario Works rarely receive additional skills train- ing with it and if they find a job, they see their benefits clawed back as expenses for childcare and transportation mount. Many jobs these days are precarious, and a parent who finds a job can be back two months later after getting laid off and the cost of food continues to increase. Fernandes said she believes government officials looking to tackle poverty need to look beyond reports and numbers. “I think they really need to come down and see what’s going on, be on the front- lines, a lot of the people who come through the doors here say, ‘ Oh I didn’t realize it was so bad,’” she said. Jean-Yves Duclos is Canada’s federal min- ister of families, children and social devel- opment. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed him the lead in the creation of a Canadian Poverty Reduction Strategy. Duclos said the first step to addressing child poverty are the changes to the child benefit program announced in the 2016 budget in late March. The changes mean lower income families see their benefits increase while the government cuts univer- sally available tax credits like the $150 child fitness tax credit, which the government believes were a small dollar figure doled out to many families who didn’t need it. Under the new formula, a single parent with an income of $30,000 and a child under the age of six will receive $6,400 a year, tax- free. “It’s directed to those families that need it most, nine families out of 10 will benefit from that, it’s a very large number of fami- lies that will benefit from this change,” said Duclos. The poverty reduction plan will include support for indigenous and northern com- munities and funding childcare and social housing services through the Provinces. In early February, Duclos met with the provin- cial and territorial social services ministers, the first such meeting in a decade. But even as the federal government pre- pares to invest in childcare and social hous- ing, the minister cautions that it can never fully address the need. “Those resources will never be enough, they’ll be significant, but limited,” he said. “We have to think of a manner in which we can use our resources as effectively as pos- sible.” At Bobby Orr Public School, Morrison nat- urally has a wishlist of things that could fur- ther benefit her students, but she’s proud of what’s been accomplished to date. “I’ve seen a change in the school in two years, a change for the positive,” said Mor- rison. “Kids see a brighter future, our parents are welcome in the school.” Page 6 - Today’s editorial Key to helping kids is in good wages for parents Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland OSHAWA -- Kevina Morrison, principal at Bobby Orr Public School, talked about some of the work students have completed this year. The school is one of 12 in Oshawa that are part of the Make a Difference program aimed at areas with higher than aver- age poverty rates. The goal is to provide support for kids in their early development allowing for long-term success. From page 1 This is one part of a four-part series on poverty in Ontario.

The ships were under the command of Sir John Franklin and their aim was to find a Northwest Passage to China. Instead what they found was the Canadian Arctic in winter. After years of searching, going back to the 1840s, Erebus was found in 2014 and Terror was found in early September. Joseph Frey, a governor with the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and chair- man of its College of Fellows, took part in sev- en-ship search which led to the discovery of Erebus. “The top of the search area is closer to Stockholm. Sweden than Ottawa,” Frey noted during a recent open lecture at Trent Univer- sity Durham in Oshawa. “Britain wanted to find a route to get to China and open up trade,” he said, add- ing the British were also keen to claim land before the Russians could. The ships set sail on May 19, 1845 with three years of provisions, including lime juice and 8,000 tins of preserved meats, vegetables and soups. “They were really optimistic about the expedition. They felt it could be done in one year,” he added. Ships used in expeditions are “by nature, built two times stronger than a normal ship. These were fortified, so they were four times stronger. They had a round bottom (keel) so they could be pushed up onto ice,” Frey noted. Both ships had steam locomotive engines, which had first been used in the London sub- way system, or Underground. The last time they were seen was in August 1845 in Baffin Bay, which is between Baf- fin Island and Greenland. All 129 expedition members died. It wasn’t until 1848 that the British began to send ships to look for the Franklin expedi- tion, and it was led by Sir James Clark Ross. One technique they used to find the crew was to trap foxes, attach messages to the foxes and then release them. “I’m not sure what they were drinking.” Ross was supposed to look for the expedi- tion for up to four years, but he returned after one, for which he was heavily criticized. “As an officer, he made the right decision to go back early,” Frey said. Subsequent searches turned up clues, but not the ships. One expedition in 1857 was led by Fran- cis McClintock and “he actually comes back with a lot of information.” In 1859, Inuit tell him one ship sank in deep water, while they had visited the other ship. McClintock’s crew found a bleached skele- ton wearing a Royal Navy uniform. “The first of the skeletal remains was found face down. They had literally walked until they dropped.” The McClintock crew also found messages left by Franklin’s crew. Frey noted the Frank- lin survivors were trying to head south to a Hudson’s Bay post, but they never made it. One archeological site found evidence the Franklin crew resorted to cannibalism, as human bones were found with cut marks made by a metal implement. Testing on corpses of some Franklin men found elevated lead levels in their blood, from lead soldering in the food cans. Lead poisoning can lead to weakness, fatigue, stupor, paranoia, abdominal pain and anemia. If it’s not feasible, Frey doesn’t think the ships will be raised. “I think they will raise artifacts and those will go on tours,” he said, adding replicas could be built.

What’s your’s? Here’s a question that draws out some inter- esting stories: What’s your favourite tree? Not just location, species, description, but how long have you known it? How did you meet? Why is it special to you? It’s possible your favourite tree is a big one, an old one, way older than your grandparents. Given a chance, these great vibrant beings will live for hundreds of years. I happen to know -- and love -- some trees like that. A handful are in the sugar bush at my husband’s family farm in Haliburton Coun- ty, giants with thick, wide trunks and spread- ing crowns that dominate the forest canopy. Sugar maples grow slowly at that latitude so I’d bet they’re three centuries old. There’s one I’ve been watching for decades now. Two-thirds of the way up its massive shaft, before its arms reach for the sky, there’s a hole straight through the trunk, showing daylight and a patch of sky. Many a time I’ve stopped to check how big that window has grown, to see if there’s an owl or squirrel shel- tering there, and to marvel at how the ancient maple steadfastly lives on even with a hole through its heart. Last week, on a quick trip to the sugar bush to enjoy the glorious autumn leaves -- colour therapy for all that ails you -- I hiked over to the ‘miracle’ tree. And found that, sometime in summer, one great reaching arm had bro- ken off. Sure enough, where it had been was a large gap of blue sky surrounded by fluttering pink and golden leaves of other trees, a sunny opening that in a decade or two will be filled by young maples already racing up into the breach. The other lofty, still-leafy limb of the old maple stretched toward the sky undaunted, a kind of one-armed salute to the universe. I raised my palm and saluted back. The fallen limb and its mass of tangled twigs and branches lay in a heap far below. It will slowly return to the earth, dismantled over the next 20 years by lichens and moss- es, wood-boring beetles and woodpeckers, and fungi of all sorts. Brackets, puffballs, slime molds, cups, jellies ... I noted all shapes, sizes and colours of mushrooms on other logs and stumps as I wandered on through the glowing golden woods. We’ll take a share of the broken-off branch for firewood, my husband and I. And as we sit toasty warm by the blaze on some dark winter night, I’ll think of that great tree with gratitude, and with wonder.

The Great Outdoors Margaret Carney Testing of emergency warning system next week DURHAM -- Don’t be alarmed, this is only a test. Durham Region will be conducting tests of the public alerting system next week. Testing on Tuesday, Oct. 25 will focus on the indoor notification (automated tele- phone dialing system). On Wednesday, Oct. 26, testing of the outdoor sirens will be conducted, with the sound lasting for up to one minute. Testing both days will be done during daytime business hours. Outdoor sirens have been installed over a three-kilometre area around the Pickering and Darlington nuclear sta- tions, while the automated dialing system covers a 10-km area. The public alerting systems are designed to warn residents and business- es if there’s a nuclear emergency at one of the plants. Only households and busi- nesses with a land line within the 10-km zone will receive a notification. Anyone hearing the sirens or receiving an indoor notification are not required to take any action. This is only a test of the public alerting system. For more information, visit www.dur- ham.ca/demo, or contact the Public Alert- ing Information Line at 1-866-551-5373.

It will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 25, at the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd., in Meeting Room. B, from 7 to 9 p.m. OCAA is calling on the Province to close the Pickering nuclear generating station no later than 2018. It was originally scheduled to close at that time but Ontario Power Genera- tion is seeking a licence extension to 2024. So far, more than 5,000 people have called on the Ontario government to order the shut- down through an online petition at www. close-pickering.ca . The event will include speakers Ian Fairlie, expert on radioactivity; Jack Gibbons, ener- gy economist with OCAA; John Coo, Green Cross Canada; and Angela Bischoff, commu- nity mobilizer with OCAA.

We’re living in a time when we can actually see things as they happen -- take, for example, the falling of the Twin Towers on 9/11 and even through the cre- ation of new tools like Facebook Live. Now when we view these things for ourselves, we have the oppor- tunity to see the actual state of the matter, which is what truth means. But with the national media, truth has to pass through the bias of a corporate mindset. The latest, big example of this is with the U.S. presidential elec- tion. Whenever there’s a hate- hate relationship between the national media and a public fig- ure, watch how that person is portrayed. We had it here with former Toronto mayor Rob Ford and former prime minister Ste- phen Harper. You’ll hear it in the innuendo and what they choose to report. Think of it like having your favourite meal served on a dirty dish that’s been slathered with something repulsive. The facts may be there, but it’s been tainted yet we’re eating it every day. It’s been an honour to write this column over the past few months. I’m thankful for every reader -- supporters and detractors alike. One of the regular comments that I get when a statement is dis- agreed with is “and she calls her- self a communicator of truth.” I can almost hear the smug indig- nation. What’s really being said is, “Who does she think she is? Does describing herself this way, make her an authority on truth?” Good questions. For our bio, we had a maximum of 12 words we could use while including where we’re located. This brought my thoughts into sharp focus. It could be that my love for truth came from having so many things in my life that seemed shrouded in darkness from a young age. I must have come out of the womb on a mis- sion to know truth and make it known -- painful at times, but always liberating. Guest Columnist Renae Jarrett When shown the truth, some- one who’s not ready to receive it will normally shoot back, “Well, that’s your opinion!” But an opinion is a view or judgment based on where one is positioned. Truth is the actual state of a matter, which means it’s not based on us and that threat- ens both people and systems because it cannot be controlled by either. To find it, keep seeking. There’s more to life and the national media than meets the eye. -- Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is a communicator of truth.

(Hydro One) are initiating an updated Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for the construction of a new municipal transformer station (Seaton MTS) and its connection to Hydro One’s high voltage system. Through an assessment of anticipated future electricity demand in North Pickering, Veridian identified that a new municipal transformer station would best serve the growing number of homes and businesses in the area. In June 2015, Veridian initiated a Class EA to evaluate three potential locations for the proposed transformer station. To ensure Veridian’s new facility has an adequate supply of power, it must be connected to Hydro One’s high voltage grid. Through the Class EA process, Veridian and Hydro One together as co-proponents, will evaluate the alternative sites for the construction of Seaton MTS and its connection to Hydro One’s system to determine a preferred option. PROJECT PLANNING & PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT This project is subject to the provincial Environmental Assessment Act and is being planned in accordance with the Class EA for Minor Transmission Facilities. The Class EA process provides opportunities for First Nations and Métis, public and stakeholder consultation, and your feedback is very important to us. We encourage you to attend our upcoming Public Information Centre to learn more about the alternative station sites and associated line connection routes, approvals process and environmental considerations. Subject to the outcome of the Class EA, construction work may begin as early as fall 2017. Please note, depending on the station site selected, approval from the Ontario Energy Board under Section 92 of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 may also be required. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU Please join us on: Wednesday, November 2, 2016, 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.Veridian Connections Inc. - Boardroom 55 Taunton Road East Ajax, ON A second Public Information Centre will be held in early 2017to present more detailed study information.

Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS PickeringAjax/ The Big M originally opened in 1965, and seven years ago Chris Papatheodorou reopened the drive-in style joint. He is proud to be continuing his father Ted’s tradition of offering delicious, original recipe, award winning homemade hamburgers. The restaurant’s blueprint for a better burger includes a toasted soft bun (that are delivered fresh daily), a seven ounce freshly grilled beef patty, topped with crisp iceberg lettuce, sliced beefsteak tomato, a slice of red onion, pickles, ketchup and yellow mustard. To make your burger even better, you can add on cheddar cheese, Canadian bacon and/or peameal bacon. Customers also love their famous steak on a Kaiser, homemade onion rings, French fries, sweet potato fries, homemade chicken souvlaki and The Big M chicken Caesar salad as well as the tasty Greek salad. While you are here, you can also enjoy one of the signature milkshakes, a soft ice cream cone or a sundae. When you visit The Big M, it’s like taking a trip back in time. The restaurant offers an authentic 60’s vibe. The combination of great food and outstanding customer service will have your coming back time and time again. “We pride ourselves on our 50 plus year tradition of serving the Bay Ridges area, which is why we’ve gone back to the restaurant’s original feel,” Chris says. “We offer high quality food and a good time – plus, you can’t get a better hamburger or steak on a Kaiser anywhere else.” It’s no surprise that that the restaurant was voted in as number one hamburger in Ajax and Pickering. Drop by or drive up to The Big M at 711 Krosno Blvd. (at Liverpool Road, south of the 401) in Pickering for an incredible dining experience.

Ontario Philharmonic begins new concert season Tenor Michael Ciufo here for Christmas program BY MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- People sometimes say to Marco Parisotto, “you’re going to leave us.” And the Ajax resident, music direc- tor of the Ontario Philharmonic, is world-renowned and could find work anywhere on the planet. The OP begins its 2016/17 season at Oshawa’s Regent Theatre on Nov. 12. It’s the 60th year for the OP and Parisot- to’s 21st as maestro. “Why should I leave,” he asks. “I’m here to build something ... and there’s always so much to do, to expand. “I’m not going anywhere.” Besides, Parisotto notes, he lives a double life as a music director: he fre- quently guests at orchestras around the world and is music director at the Jalis- co Philharmonic in Mexico. So he has a good thing going -- and so does the OP. “I feel very comfortable with the orchestra, the organization,” he says. “We really know what our audience likes after so many years.” One piece that is requested “every single year” is Vivaldi’s The Four Sea- sons, which opens the OP’s concert sea- son. “It’s one of the greatest pieces ever written and one of the top pieces, con- taining all the styles of music that exist,” Parisotto says. “People have loved it for forever.” The program also features Arensky’s Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky and Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Danc- es, Suite No.3. Featured on the OP’s first night in Oshawa is the OP’s concertmaster, Etsuko Kimura, on violin. Just in time for Christmas, the OP presents Christmas at the Opera with Michael Ciufo on Dec. 17. “We haven’t had a real, down-to- earth Christmas program in a long time,” Parisotto says. It’s a two-parter: the first half of the evening features the young Toronto tenor singing operatic favourites. After intermission, holiday classics take over, including many selections from Tchai- kovsky’s The Nutcracker. “(Ciufo) has a really wonderful voice and he sings a lot of lighter pop piec- es, but he started off as an opera sing- er,” Parisotto says. “He’s really great at both.” Parisotto says he’s seen it all in 21 years, noting that there have been many “incredible moments” and that the move to the Regent Theatre in Oshawa has been excellent for the OP. Still ... “My biggest wish is that Durham Region does get an arts centre,” he says, referring to the long-time effort to cre- ate one in west Durham. “And the OP will perform there first.” The OP’s Durham concerts are at the Regent Theatre and tickets are avail- able there in person, at 50 King St. E., or at www.regenttheatre.ca. Tickets for the concerts are $45 or $56. Music lovers can also buy a bun- dle, tickets to three, four or all five of the performances this season.

Now Hollywood’s best-kept secret will be revealed unless Lillian’s press agent can put a lid on things.

Free Nature of Durham show at Whitby library in October Local photographers want your input on Durham’s special places WHITBY -- See an exhibit of photographs that shows Durham Region in all its splendour. The Nature of Durham is at Whitby’s Central Library, 405 Dundas St. W. (sec- ond floor), in October. It is the brainchild of two Whitby pho- tographers, who asked Durham residents to suggest what they should shoot. And they’re asking for more input in the ongo- ing project. “What started as a special art project by photographers Andris Piebalgs and Mar- tha Weber in 2014 has become an ongo- ing endeavour highlighting different loca- tions Durham residents have selected as special and memorable,” states a press release. “This exhibit of over 30 pho- tographs includes Lynde Creek Marsh, Grass Park, Whitby harbour and shoreline and many more.” If you have a place in Durham you would like considered for the project, visit crossroadsart.photography and the Cross Roads Facebook page. 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 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 31 P Looking for latest info about your community?

Pickering’s Drake Caggiula cracks Edmonton roster, but NHL debut delayed by pre-season injury BY BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com EDMONTON — Pickering’s Drake Caggiula has spent most of his hockey career proving people wrong, but his next challenge may well be proving to the Edmonton Oilers they were right. Caggiula, a 22-year-old forward coming off an NCAA cham- pionship at the University of North Dakota, signed a two- year, entry level deal with the Oilers and impressed enough this fall to make the club, but a lower body injury suffered late in the pre-season derailed his dream of making his NHL debut last week. That dream was so close, his parents had already booked their flight to see him help christen Rogers Place when it opened Wednesday, Oct. 12, but they can- celled upon learning of his injury, and missed the Oilers’ 7-4 win over the Calgary Flames. His first game is now up in the air, dictated by his recovery time and how the Oilers fare in the meantime. “It’s a little frustrating,” Caggiula admitted by phone from Edmonton, where he is rehabilitating but still not skating. “You work so hard all summer long and all of last season to set yourself up and put yourself into a situation to make the opening night roster … I did a good job of that and unfortu- nately I got a little bit banged up.” Although the setback could easily see Caggiula end up in the AHL for a conditioning stint once healthy, there’s little doubt his heart and desire will lead him back to the Oilers soon enough. A proven winner dating back to his minor hockey days with the Ajax/Pickering Raiders, the knock against Caggiula has typically been his size — he’s listed now as five-foot-nine and 185 pounds — but it’s never stopped him from racking up big numbers and trophies. “You just want to go out there every single game and prac- tise and show people that size doesn’t really matter,” he said. “If you can play, you can play, it doesn’t matter how big you are or how small you are, you’ve just got to make sure you play the game the right way.” Selected in the third round of the OHL draft by the Erie Otters in 2010 after putting up 56-39-95 stats with the Raiders in his minor midget year, Caggiula, although a big fan of the Oshawa Generals growing up, weighed the pros and cons and decided instead on the NCAA route. It worked out magnificently in the sense that he won an Ontario Junior Hockey League championship with the Stouffville Spirit, scoring 17 goals and 37 points in 20 playoff games, and then had tremendous career at North Dakota, not only leading the Fighting Hawks to a Frozen Four champion- ship as a senior but also earning his kinesiology degree. And, while it didn’t end up helping him get drafted into the NHL, it did allow him the time to develop properly and ulti- mately make his own choice of destination. “Those extra years definitely benefitted me. It was a bit of a stressful time, but at the same time it was an exciting time,” said Caggiula, who at 16, called Otters GM Sherry Bassin to inform him of his decision. “I sat down and really took a hard look at what was the best way for me. College gave me that extra development time, which I needed.” Described by eliteprospects.com as “a smart, skilled, and gritty buzzsaw of a winger that gets up and down the ice with focused drive,” Caggiula had 25 goals and 51 points in 39 games of his senior season, scored twice in the final and was named the tournament’s most outstanding player as North Dakota won its first national title since 2000. “The four years there were incredible,” he said. “I can’t thank the people enough, whether it’s the teammates, coach- es, fans, community, teachers, other students on campus, family, friends, everyone that was there … It was special time in my life. I honestly wish that I could stay there for the rest of my life.” Caggiula was heavily recruited by NHL clubs during his senior year, and went on a whirlwind two-week tour to visit 10 teams, including the Toronto Maple Leafs, his favourite grow- ing up. He chose the Oilers for a variety of reasons, including the team’s bright future and the similarities to hockey-crazed North Dakota. “After all the visits and all the sit-downs, I saw Edmonton in my future,” he explained. “There’s a young core that’s going to be here for a long time and hopefully the team is going to turn a corner coming up soon, and I just wanted to be a part of that. I thought it was a good opportunity for myself to get into the game right away.” 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 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 32 AP SP O R T S Raiders ‘94 team churns out prospects AJAX/PICKERING — Sal Caggiula knew he had a special group when he first started coaching his son, Drake, with the 1994-born players of the Ajax-Pickering Raiders AAA hockey program. But, he never looked so far ahead to envision the possibility that three of them might make their National Hockey League debuts less than 15 years later. Devin Shore, of Ajax, has done so already, and on Saturday. Oct. 15 scored his first NHL goal with the Dallas Stars, one of three points in his first two games this season. Shore had a sniff with the Stars last year, but failed to pick up a point in three games and ultimately had his season ended by a shoulder inju- ry, after putting up 15-11-26 stats in 23 games with the AHL’s Texas Stars. Drake Caggiula, Shore’s best friend and teammate growing up in both hockey and lacrosse, was set to make his debut with the Edmonton Oilers Oct. 12, but a lower body injured has sidetracked that dream for the time-being. Remarkably, Daniel Renouf, a defence- man on the same Raiders team and teammate of Shore’s at the University of Maine, is also on the injured reserve ros- ter of the Detroit Red Wings, although it remains to be seen where he will end up when healthy. “They all bring something dif- ferent to the table, always have,” said Sal Caggiula, who coached the team with Kyle Shore and Glenn Ernst. “Seeing these kids grow up and now being in their early 20s, and seeing how they’ve turned out as young men … it’s pretty special. I’ll always be fond of them.” The ’94 Raiders won all-Ontario AAA titles twice, at novice and atom, and were competitive throughout in an age group that included a Toronto Marlies team led by Scott Laughton. But, while top-end Ontario players typ- ically take the OHL route to the NHL, the Raiders’ big three all went through the NCAA, with Shore ending up as captain of Maine and Caggiula leading North Dakota to a title in their senior years. Shore was the only one of the three to get drafted, in the second round by the Stars in 2012, while Renouf and Caggiula signed as free agents this year. “Never did we say, ‘this is the path to the NHL. You’ve got to do this and do this’,” Sal recalls. “We pushed good grades, and doing the right things and being good citizens within the com- munity, all that kind of stuff. I think it embedded itself in the character and personality of the team and the families, and the parents valued that.” Several other players have gone on to bigger and better things since minor hockey, including goalie Tim Ernst, who’s currently playing at Brown Uni- versity and doing exceedingly well in his business studies.

Pickering moves into Ontario Junior Hockey League playoff spot with three wins in four games DURHAM — Both the Whitby Fury and Pickering Panthers have found their stride in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. The Fury have won seven straight games and sit atop the entire league at 13-2-0-1, while the Panthers have won two in a row and three of the past four to move into a playoff position at 3-9-0-1 after a dismal start. After edging the Panthers in their home opener on Thanksgiving Monday, the Fury have reeled off wins of 8-3 in Kings- ton, 3-1 in Aurora, 5-4 in double over- time over Stouffville and 4-3 at home over Wellington Tuesday, Oct. 19. Ryan Taylor scored twice against Wel- lington, Brock Welsh broke a 3-3 tie 7:46 into the third period, and Austin Cain made 25 saves for his ninth win of the season. Jeffrey Gauld scored the other Whitby goal. Scott Kirton was the overtime hero against Stouffville, a game that saw Luke Keenan score twice, Steve Elliot and Tay- lor one each, and Logan Gauthier make 30 saves for his second win since being assigned to the Fury by the Oshawa Gen- erals. The Fury now have five players with more than 20 points this season, led by Nik Coric’s 30, which puts him third in league scoring. Taylor, Keenan and Ryan Heeps have 27 points apiece, while Kirton has 20. The Panthers, meanwhile, have slid into the eighth and final playoff slot in the North/East conference as they have finally turned around a season that saw them play their first 10 games away from home while the Pickering Recreation Complex was being renovated. Since the tight loss to the Fury in the home opener, the Panthers have beaten Aurora 3-2 in overtime and Wellington 5-3 on their new rink. Captain Tiger McDonald, who missed the first five games with an injury, pumped home a hat trick in the most recent victory, over a very good Welling- ton club. Adam Wheaton and Kyle Hunter also scored for the Panthers, who jumped out to a 3-0 lead and never trailed, but need- ed an empty-net goal by McDonald to breathe easy. Graham Schropp made 28 saves for his third win. Russell Nowry scored 3:55 into over- time to lift Pickering past Aurora. Quin- tin Wheeler and Daniel Lowe also scored and Schrod made 28 saves, as the Pan- thers battled back from an early 2-0 defi- cit. The Panthers have important games coming up, including a home-and-home with Newmarket (2-11-0-1), Thursday on the road and Friday in Pickering at 7:30 p.m., and a game in Lindsay (1-9-0-2) Sunday. The Fury are in Lindsay Friday and at Iroquois Park Sunday for a 2:10 p.m. start against Markham (9-4-0-1). 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 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 33 AP THANK YOU!We are proud to announce that Rodman’s is once again the recipient of the Ajax-Pickering Readers’ Choice Diamond (first place) Award for Heating & Air Conditioning.

Canada –It’s All Included! OSHAWA — The UOIT women’s soccer team will finish the OUA season in first place in the east division for the first time, and has moved up to program-high No. 3 in the national rankings. The Ridgebacks clinched the title after a 4-1 win over the RMC Paladins on Sunday, Oct. 16 in Kingston. “Our players and coaches have worked hard all season, so to have them finish first is a great accomplishment and we’re proud of them,” said Scott Barker, UOIT man- ager of intercollegiate athletics, in a press release. “I know that they will continue to work hard towards their goal after they wrap up the regular season and am excited to see how we do in the post-season.” Pickering’s Cassandra Sribny opened scoring for UOIT in the fifth minute of play, while Ajax’s Rachel Matthews, Jes- sica Mithrush, and CeAnn Marks also scored for the Ridgebacks, who wrap up conference play in Peterborough Satur- day, Oct. 22. Men’s hockey: Connor Jarvis’s double overtime goal lifted the UOIT men’s hock- ey team to a 4-3 win over the Nipissing Lakers Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Campus Ice Centre, the fourth straight victory to start the OUA season for the nationally-ranked Ridgebacks. It was the second goal of the game for Jarvis, who decided matters 1:11 into the second overtime period. Josh Carrick and Danny Elser, who was named OUA athlete of the week, also scored for UOIT, the fifth of the season for Elser. Tyson Teichmann made 26 saves for his second win. Now ranked a program-high fifth in the CIS, the Ridgebacks also needed over- time to win their home opener the night before, a 5-4 decision over the Laurentian Voyageurs. Jake Logan scored the winner after Lau- rentian tied the game late in regulation, one-timing a feed from Cameron Yuill. Elser, Ryan Doucette, Ben Blasko and Yuill scored the other Ridgeback goals, while Brendon O’Neill made a whopping 48 saves, including six in overtime.

Recently concussions have begun to be bet- ter understood compared to the past. The days of a coach telling athletes they just got their ‘bell rung’ and to ‘walk it off’ are over. Concussion is the most common type of brain trauma, and is defined as a head inju- ry with a temporary loss of brain function. The most common causes include sport injuries, car accidents and falls. It is not yet fully understood what dam- age is done to the brain when a concussion occurs, but stretching of nerve cells and changes in ion channels are involved. This is a result of either a blow to the head, and/or acceleration causing rotational/stretching forces in the brain. People experience signs and symptoms of a concussion differently. Common signs are headache, feeling in a fog, irritability, amnesia and slowed reaction time. There are various protocols and sideline tests that can be used to identify whether an athlete has a concussion on the play- ing field. Questions testing short-term memory recall, long-term memory recall, and attention/concentration to a complex task (i.e. stating months backwards) gives a team doctor or athletic trainer immedi- ate information to help identify a concus- sion. Symptoms can be subtle, but are very important to recognize. An athlete should never be rushed back to sport after a head trauma, no matter how important the game is. If a concussion goes undetected and an athlete returns to play and sustains another head injury, he or she is at risk of developing second impact syn- drome – a potentially serious or even fatal injury that can occur when an athlete gets a second head injury before a previous head injury has completely healed. There are two main widely used tools used to identify a concussion and help with return to play. Coaches and trainers are strongly recom- mended to familiarize themselves with the SCAT (Sport Concussion Assessment Tool). This tool is used to identify concussions and the subsequent steps required for the ath- lete. The second tool is the RTP (Return to Play process). This process includes six steps the athlete needs to pass through before return- ing to sport. Dr. Andrew Fagan is a licensed chiropractor, kinesiologist and clinical acupuncture provider.
