It’s Christmas; it’s cold. He’s probably wearing all the clothes he owns: brown pants, a sweater and a hooded sweatshirt under a brown parka with a fringe on the hood, a black ball cap. In his hand -- long nicotine-stained fingers, grimy nails -- is a bottle that’s nestled in a brown bag, the paper turned back to reveal the cap. His face is red, weather-beaten, framed by unkempt hair and a ragged beard. He looks weary, but at peace.

Durham District School Board recognizes more than 100 volunteers BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- For as long as her kids have been in school, Mary Hindle has been vol- unteering. When they were in kindergarten, it was simple things like bringing in treats for the bake sale, or going on a class field trip. Then, the Ajax mom started helping in the classroom once a week, reading with stu- dents or stuffing envelopes. “Whatever my kid’s teachers needed to get them through the day or the week, I helped with,” she says. As her children grew, so did her volun- teerism. Hindle got involved with the school community council at Alexander Graham Bell P.S. in Ajax, and became known as “the pizza lady” for her work on the school’s pizza day fundraisers. When her kids -- now in Grade 9 and 10 -- moved on to Pickering High School, her volunteer work went with them. “I hear from a lot of parents that once the kids go to high school, they don’t volunteer anymore. But there are still lots of opportu- nities to help,” she says. Hindle is now the co-chairwoman of the SCC at Pickering High School in addition to co-chairing the DDSB’s Parent Involvement Committee. On Oct. 27, she was among more than 130 people honoured at the Durham District School Board’s annual Volunteer of Distinc- tion Awards ceremony. It was her second time receiving the award, a recognition she is “very grateful” for. Hindle says she hopes her experience will inspire other parents to volunteer at school, in whatever way works for their life. “Whether you’re an at-home parent, or a work-at-home parent or a parent who works outside the home...there is something for everybody,” she says. “It might be bringing in a box of Kleenex for the classroom, or work- ing on costumes for the school play at home. There are little steps everyone can take.” Each spring, DDSB school communities are invited to nominate volunteers who have made a significant contribution to their school. The principal and head of the school community council then choose one volunteer of distinction from the list of nominations. The honourees are celebrated at an event the following fall.

Many people find themselves frustrated when they can hear, but not understand speech.Hearing loss can develop so gradually people do not even realize they have it. Even mild cases can lead to difficulties with processing speech. Fortunately, modern hearing aids can help by stimulating the auditory centers of the brain responsible for speech understanding. Understanding speech is a necessary part of communication and hearing loss has been proven to limitour daily interactions. Do you rely on visual cues (e.g. reading lips)orareyouapplyingmoreeffortwhile listening?Maybe you are completely avoiding difficult listening situations all together? If so, these are common signs of hearing loss and it is important to understandthepotentialimpactof leaving ituntreated.Didyouknowthatuntreated hearinglosscancausetheauditorynerves and auditory cortex of the brain to not be stimulatedproperly?Thetechnicaltermfor this is “auditory deprivation.” People who suffer fromauditory deprivationoften have difficulty processing speech. Researchshows thatthe longer aneargoes without hearing, the greater the effect of auditory deprivation can be. Hearing aids may prevent auditory deprivation as they provide stimulation to the auditory nerves and auditory cortex.Further, the speech understanding abilities of some people improve with hearing aids (recovery from auditory deprivation). However,if hearing aids are put off for too long, it can cause long-lasting speech understanding difficulties. Auditory deprivation may be prevented for some clients through the new Unitron Moxi TM Now hearing aids. These virtually invisible hearing aids are the smallest‡wireless hearing aids in their class and automatically adapt to any listening environment,making it easier to understand speech while providing appropriate amplification needed to stimulate the brain.

Annual Durham Police Appreciation evening hosted in Ajax BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- With a speeding freight train bearing down, a police officer struggled to get a distraught and resistant man off a nar- row railway trestle. Then the cop felt a pair of hands on his vest, pulling them both out of harm’s way. “When I felt Clint’s hands on the back of my vest,” Detective Constable Bryan Armstrong said, “I knew at that instant we were going to be safe.” The remarkable story of Armstrong and Clint Neuls, an auxiliary officer, was among many tales of heroism and dedication to duty featured Thursday evening, Oct. 27, when the annual Police Appreciation Dinner and Awards Night was held in Ajax. The event raises funds for police education, safety and outreach efforts. Armstrong and Neuls have been friends for several years and Neuls is a constable with the auxiliary branch, a volunteer orga- nization that provides assistance to the ser- vice. Neuls, 52, was riding along with Arm- strong on the Easter weekend when the two received a call about a man on a railway over- pass in the Dixie Road area of Pickering. Armstrong, 43, had climbed a steep embankment and was trying to establish a rapport with the man, who was poised to jump from the bridge; Neuls was at street level, preparing to direct traffic. The stakes were upped suddenly and sig- nificantly when a freight train appeared down the rail line. “I was about to start conversing when I saw the light come around the corner,” said Arm- strong. “I knew I had to get him and myself off this bridge.” Armstrong took hold of the man, who sank to a metal walkway by the rail bed and resist- ed. Watching from below, Neuls quickly real- ized the danger. “I was sick to my stomach,” said Neuls, whose day job is in IT. “When I saw Bryan on top of him I said, I’ve got to help.” As the freight train roared by Neuls rushed onto the trestle and grabbed hold of Arm- strong’s vest. He pulled the cop and the man to the edge of the trestle; the three tumbled down the embankment, the distraught man still struggling. The man was taken into custody on a men- tal health warrant. The two friends escaped the harrowing situation unharmed. Armstrong credits Neuls with making that happen. “That was a big relief, feeling his hands on my vest,” he said. “I think it speaks volumes about his character.” Neuls is modest about his heroism. “I think any of the auxiliaries would have done it,” he said. Neuls, the first auxiliary officer ever to be recognized during the annual event, said he enjoys volunteering with the auxiliary: “I love serving the community and I love being part of the police and what they do.” Neuls expects his upcoming assignments will be less hectic; he’s preparing to assist with the busy Christmas parade season. “Seeing Santa is going to be a lot different from going up on that bridge,” he said. Also honoured during the evening: • Constable Brandon Stanway was pre- sented the Mike Ewles Community Builder Award for his dedication to youth programs, including Algonquin Park canoe trips, and the commitment he has made to bettering their lives. • Constable Jack Stelwagen was rewarded for his response to a fight call in Ajax where a male was stabbed. He started first aid while co-ordinating other responding officers. The victim lost about 60 per cent of his blood and doctors credit Stelwagen for saving his life that night. • Constable Rob Harding was commend- ed for his actions on the night a Canadian Armed Forces veteran was having a mental health crisis due to PTSD. The man was hav- ing flashbacks to his time in Afghanistan and threatening suicide. The officer has stayed in contact with the man and continues to sup- port his recovery. • The members who responded to a hor- rific multi-vehicle collision on Hwy. 401 were praised as well. OPP requested assis- tance with the incident and DRPS sworn and civilian members stepped up. Officers from across the service responded to the scene, which has been compared to a war zone.

The suspect, arrested Wednesday, Oct. 26, is a man known to David Palmer, whose remains were recovered in May of this year, Ontario Provincial Police have confirmed. “They were known to one another,” Ser- geant Peter Leon said. He wouldn’t com- ment further on the nature of the relation- ship between victim and accused: “That will form part of the prosecution,” Leon said. Palmer, 47, was last seen alive on Oct. 2, 2015 when he stopped at a gas station on Hwy. 35 near Pontypool to fill up his car, a gold 2002 Honda Accord. He was reported missing four days later. On Oct. 14, 2015, Palmer’s car was found near Spruce Lake Trail in the vicinity of Haliburton. His remains were found on May 7, 2016. Police have not revealed a cause of death. As the investigation progressed OPP issued a number of requests for tips from the public. Those pleas resulted in some responses, Leon said. William Savage of Fenelon Falls is charged with first-degree murder. He made an appearance in court Thursday in Lind- say and remains in custody. Investigators continue to seek a num- ber of items related to the case, including Palmer’s wallet, his Samsung flip phone, and a St. Louis Blues ball cap he was wear- ing when last seen. The phone could be of particular value to investigators, Leon said. “The phone is something that would assist the investigative timeline,” he said. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 705-324-6741.

Fortunately we are blessed with very good friends who own a private 40-acre parcel of heaven that is filled with trails where our pups can safely run to their hearts’ content. If you’ve ever seen a dog running, running for the pure fun of it, running just because it can and because it is doing what its body is built for, you will have witnessed a picture of the purest joy. You will find yourself grinning, as we do, in the presence of such happy, natural perfection. It’s infectious. And you may ask yourself, as I do occasionally, if you, yourself, are get- ting enough ‘off-leash’ time. If you’re doing enough things just for the pure fun of it. If you’re letting yourself revel in what you are built for. It seems to me that a lot of us fit our- selves with leashes from a very early age and we seldom, if ever, take them off. We put them on or let others put them on us, for a number of different reasons. For safety sake, especially if our leash ties us to someone else ... someone who can make decisions for us, direct us, scold us and praise us. We tether ourselves to people, places, things, jobs ... that give us comfort and consistency and predictability. And it may feel good and safe and even nor- mal to have that leash on; I’ve seen lots of dogs walking on lead who seem happy enough. I’ve even witnessed dogs who became confused or even scared when their leads were removed. It’s as though, after a life of being led or directed, tugged this way or that, they don’t know what to do with their newly given freedom. They’ve forgotten what they’re really good at, what they’re built for. That can be scary. But the fear almost always passes, if the dog is given enough off-leash time to figure out what it’s really capable of or when it sees other dogs running like the wind and having the time of their lives. They are inspired to move, to do what they are supposed to do, to remember what they love, what makes them feel gloriously good. Everyone deserves that. Leashes have their places. They can provide security, even protection when the world gets a little loud, busy and overwhelming. We all need to anchor ourselves to something now and then. But everyone should get a chance to run off-leash. Because even a small taste of doing what you’re born to do can be the difference between a joyful life and one that’s gone to the dogs. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column Neil Crone Enter Laughing our opiNioN Just over a year ago, Ken Taylor died. Most people in Durham wouldn’t have heard of his death, in hospital while being treated for pneumonia, and wouldn’t even have known of him when he was alive. The 56-year-old man lived rough, mak- ing his home on the streets, in parks, under bridges, in stairwells, wherev- er he could find a space, and bounced between Oshawa and Peterborough. He was estranged from his family, hadn’t seen them in years. He had a small circle of friends who called him Quiet Ken because he didn’t like to talk much. He spent his last months in a nursing home after he suffered extensive injuries in an accident. By all accounts, he wasn’t an easy man to get along with -- he had a sharp tongue. He liked his booze, his smokes, his freedom and his solitude. We might have seen him sitting on a park bench but not taken much notice. Or we might have dismissed him as yet another bum. They knew him at Cornerstone shelter and Gate 3:16 in downtown Oshawa where they see people like Ken, people living on the streets, people without permanent homes, people on the fringe. According to the annual report of At Home in Durham (www.durham.ca), it’s estimated that in Durham in 2015, there were 1,162 single people and 115 families living in emergency shelters. While that’s down seven per cent from 2014, that’s still far too many without homes, without a safe, settled place of their own. For those of us with homes, with jobs, with security, it’s easy to judge, easy to dis- miss, easy not to see. But people like Ken exist and all have their own stories of how they came to be where and how they are. After Ken’s death, one of his friends took out an ad, an obituary. Reporter Jeff Mitch- ell read it and was intrigued, spending months tracking down Quiet Ken’s friends and family and trying to piece together his life. The result is a compelling story about a man who was invisible to many of us but important to others. It’s a story that lets us see into Ken’s world and while it touches the heartstrings, it should also make us think and perhaps even act. What you read about Ken in today’s paper isn’t the whole story written by Mitchell. Print restrictions mean we can only run an abridged version. It’s a long, complex tale and it’s one we feel you should read in full. To that end, our print editions and web- site are working together to make sure you can read Ken’s story. Read the story in our paper today but please go online to www. durhamregion.com and read the 5,000- word version.

Swim clubs and teams, lane swimmers now share pool at rec complex during renovations Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Despite plans to re-open by now, the Dunbarton Pool will be closed until Dec. 5, says the City of Pickering. The pool’s structural con- crete slab was deteriorating, so the deck is being removed and replaced. “It is critical work to ensure the safety and longevity of the site and of course the safety of the users,” said Marisa Carpino, director of culture and recre- ation. The City scheduled the reno- vations from July to Septem- ber so it would have the least amount of impact. But after delays with delivery of the new deck tile, and addi- tional electrical work was deter- mined, the date was prolonged. “As we started peeling things away we saw the electrical work needed to be upgraded,” said Carpino. Now, the Pickering Swim Club, Pickering Master Splash- ers Swim Club and the school swim team that normally prac- tice at Dunbarton Pool, which is attached to Dunbarton High School, are all using the City’s other indoor pool at the Pickering Recreation Complex more often. To some regular Rec Complex users, it’s interrupted their long- time routine as there’s been a reduction in lanes available. “Some people have just given up swimming in the morning,” said frustrated lane swimmer and Pickering resident Dawn Urquhart, who resents pay- ing membership fees to use the crowded pool. Carpino said two mornings a week, swim times have been added to accommodate the changes. But on the mornings Urquhart swims, the pool is packed and people share lanes, swimming in a circle. “Sometimes it works, some- times it doesn’t,” she said. She now swims earlier in the mornings to avoid the conges- tion. The Pickering Swim Club now practises three additional morn- ings a week at the Rec Complex and travels outside of Pickering to swim. “We actually have to go into Oshawa and into Scarborough,” said head coach Anne Otten- brite-Muylaert. “So it’s been very difficult for us as well. These poor kids are swimming at 9:30 at night.” Ottenbrite-Muylaert, who con- stantly has to turn away new members due to limited swim time availability, feels more swimming and recreational facilities would help solve issues like these. “The City now is in this situa- tion but they’re doing the best they can,” she said. “I believe the City has accommodated us as well as they could.” 1/2 PRIC E $650 Reg $12.99 ON SALEfor a limited time New Flavours Added DRIVE THRU PICKERING LOCATIONS Pickering Town Centre 905-839-7727 1099 Kingston Rd. 905-831-2665open regularmall hours Pickering Rec Complex pool overflowingdue to Dunbarton pool’s temporary closure Ron Pietroniro / Metroland PICKERING — The City of Pickering is currently upgrading the Dunbarton Pool.

Stephen Houston plans to travel, share his windfall with family TORONTO -- Pickering resident Stephen Houston is $100,000 richer after winning with ENCORE in the Oct. 22 LOTTO 6/49 draw. Houston matched six of the seven win- ning numbers on his ENCORE selection. “I enjoy playing LOTTO 6/49 with ENCORE,” he said at the OLG Prize Cen- tre in Toronto when he picked up his win- nings. “I checked my ticket the day after the draw. Everyone at my house was still asleep when I realized I won.” Houston maintained his composure and went to the store to validate his ticket. “I took a picture of the validation slip so I could show everyone at home,” he said. “When I returned, my wife was already awake. I told her I won but she was skepti- cal and didn’t believe it even though she could see the numbers matched. Next, my two boys found out and were very excited for me.” Houston’s plans for his windfall include renovating the house, sharing with his sons, spending more this Christmas on his extended family and taking a vacation with his wife. “We also have a few destination wed- dings to attend next year that we didn’t think we would be able to attend,” he said. “This win gives us the ability to do that now. I am very grateful and this win will definitely be put to good use.” ENCORE can be played in conjunction with most online lottery games for an extra $1. There is an ENCORE draw every day. The winning ticket was purchased at Whites Kitchen Food Fair on Bayly Street in Pickering.

But in this moment he’s still, gaz- ing calmly at the camera. It’s a beautiful morning. And Ken Taylor is free. Some people called him Quiet Ken. “Ken never said much,” said his long-time pal, Tommy Boyles. Ken didn’t tend to draw attention. He blended with the background. When people did notice him, it was likely for the wrong reasons: He didn’t bathe, he didn’t comb his hair; he didn’t change his clothes. He lived rough, bouncing between Oshawa and Peterborough. He made his home on the street, in parks and under bridges, in stair- wells -- places he could slip away to, avoiding scrutiny and authority. You found him where you found him, when he could be found at all. He didn’t own a car, he didn’t work; he didn’t complain. He could spend hours just sitting on a bench, soaking up the sun. He didn’t ask for much, and he didn’t seek direc- tion. Mostly he sought to be left alone. “Kenny was like that,” Tommy said. “He didn’t want no advice.” Funny, though: There were people who wor- ried about him. They took time to pass along food, hand him a loonie, or even just a fresh ciga- rette. When he dropped out of sight, as he often did, these people -- people with houses and fam- ilies and jobs and concerns of their own, who lived in a world apart from Ken’s -- put out the word. Have you seen Ken? they’d ask. Is he OK? Posters would be put up, tacked to trees in parks by the river and on downtown utility poles: Have you seen Ken? Tell him to call us. When he died one of those people, Charlie Gregory, bought an ad in the local paper. “Ken chose the rough life he led, and taught many nov- ice folk how to survive away from the system,” Charlie wrote in the obituary. “He was loved.” *** Everybody has a past. Some revel in it, some run from it. Ken lived in the present, keeping whatever lay behind him to himself. Even the people who knew him best are sketchy -- or cagey -- about the details of Ken’s life prior to his time on the street. They know he grew up on a farm. He worked in construction and roofing. He had family, but no contact with them. There may have been a time when Quiet Ken had a home, but he couldn’t go back now. “He had many regrets, and felt like he had burned his family bridges. He said they would be better off without him,” said Wendy Smith, who met Ken through Charlie Gregory and continues to advocate for the homeless. “He didn’t get spe- cific; he just said, I caused them so much trouble.” Charlie met Ken about a decade ago, shortly after he started doing volunteer work with the homeless (he continues to maintain contact with an array of people on the fringe; they are featured in the remarkable photos he posts each week to his Flickr account). Ken could be distant, cau- tious -- wary. “I don’t think he really trusted people,” Charlie said. “I’ve said more words this morning than he said to me in 10 years.” Norm Law knew Ken about as well as anybody. He described a guy who kept to himself, but who could be counted on as a brother in bad times. “He helped everybody,” Norm said. “That was his way. If you were his friend, you were his friend.” If Ken revealed any- thing about his past to Norm, it’s not going any further. “I don’t talk about that,” Norm said. “His thing is his thing.” Tommy Boyles, who chummed with Ken for years, is equally vague on his pal’s past. But he remembers the first time he met him: It was a sunny day and Ken was sitting on a bench by the Otonabee River in Peter- borough. “He was all dressed up and reading the Toronto Star,” Tommy said. “He had a mickey.” A drink was shared; a friendship was struck. That’s how it goes. Even among the homeless, Ken had a reputation for living rough. He would on occasion avail himself of services like Gate 3:16 and the Cornerstone shelter in downtown Oshawa, and was a regular at the Brock Mission in Peterborough, but seemed to prefer self-sufficiency. He inhab- ited the bush that surrounds the Oshawa Creek near the Midtown Mall, and was a fixture on his favourite benches in Peterborough. He could weather the most severe conditions, surviving cold and enduring rain. Snug at home on some of those bitter nights, Charlie Gregory would fret about Ken and his cronies. “You would think, Where do they go? How do they survive at night?” he said. “But that was Ken’s choice. He said to me, ‘I was a Wolf Scout. I know how to live outside in the winter.’” Tommy tells a story about hanging out one winter day in Peterborough. They had been drinking wine and Tommy said to Ken, “Let me take you out to supper” and so they headed down to the local KFC outlet. They made their way out back. “Kenny sat on one side of the dumpster and I sat on the other and we had KFC,” he said. “It was winter -- February -- and we had to brush ice off the chicken to eat it.” He smiled at the memory. “But the wine kept us warm.” Page 6 - Today’s editorial The hard life and lonesome death of a man on the fringes They called him Quiet Ken He described a guy who kept to himself, but who could be counted on as a brother in bad times. “He helped everybody,” Norm said. “That was his way.

Letters to the editor Amalgamation of Durham’s hospitals leaves questions To the editor: Re: Amalgamation of Rouge Val- ley Ajax-Pickering with Lakeridge Health I have a problem understanding why this amalgamation is 1. to be so costly, 2. affect the employment of so many people. Patients who historically went to Centenary Hospital from Dur- ham Region will go to Oshawa or Pickering and people from Scarbor- ough will have less wait time now and be able to deal with their own. With electronic collection of data, that should be easily transferable. With the number of patients with- in our ageing population, growing every day, doctors, nurses, orderlies etc. will be needed at both locations. Some may find employment clos- er to home. If covered by the same union, their benefits, seniority etc. could be transferred as well. Perhaps I am thinking in too sim- plistic a way, but perhaps I am not. I need to be convinced otherwise. The one real problem that worries me is the Healthcare system’s fund- ing formula bring reduced by our federal government. We have had enough cutbacks. I fully support Dr. Eric Hoskins and the LHIN Board. After all - this is 2016! as quoted by our Prime Minister. Aline Revoy Pickering The deterioration of Harwood Avenue To the editor: There’s a sign on the east side of Harwood Avenue southbound advertising ‘Road Improvements’. The sign should read ‘Road Deterio- ration’. How can a roadway be improved by eliminating a lane of traffic? Ajax Mayor and council should be ashamed of themselves for destroy- ing a beautiful roadway which pre- sented the wonderful Ajax lake- front. It is probably the most hideous implementation this council has ever done. It looks like a Developing World road- way, designed without forethought, pedestrians fighting with bike traffic, gardens which will turn into weeds. All this for only $800,000 of taxpay- ers’ dollars. Ajax longs for politicians who will focus on the town’s REAL NEEDS. We DON’T NEED pictures of bicycles on street signs. We don’t need to strangle traffic.

Pickering TownCentre www.kleinfootcare.ca Golden eagles and rough- legged hawks. Having both these iconic raptors show up at Ontar- io hawk watches recently means we’re moving into the final phase of fall migration, the last hur- rah. Hardy volunteer birders will be still out there on watch every day through November, scan- ning the skies for migrating birds, but they’ll be tallying fewer farm- land and forest birds that instinc- tively sense winter is coming, so have already escaped the north, and more tundra and boreal edge residents that wait stubbornly for snow and cold -- or a plunge in the local rodent population -- to drive them southward. Tough birds accustomed to living on the edge. The winds were right last Fri- day to sweep exciting numbers of raptors past all the prime south- ern Ontario raptor viewing sites. Durham’s own Cranberry Marsh Hawk Watch reported 90 turkey vultures and 38 red-tailed hawks that day, bringing seasonal totals to 4,907 and 762 respectively. The Holiday Beach Hawk Watch, at the west end of Lake Erie, had 2,026 turkey vultures and 222 red- tails, raising fall totals to 42,388 and 1,879. But along with those expected raptors came a few golden eagles, majestic dark birds that always bring cries of delight and a flurry of excitement, then silent won- der as binoculars track their path overhead and out of sight. Gold- en eagles soar with their ‘fingers’ outspread and their long wings slightly tipped up, in a less-pro- nounced V than that of the much smaller turkey vulture. In con- trast, bald eagles hold their broad black wings out flat and plow their way across the sky. Residents of remote mountain- ous areas of the northern hemi- sphere, where they nest on cliffs, golden eagles represent wilder- ness as much as any other birds. They seldom nest anywhere near humans, with the only two con- firmed nesting sites in Ontario being on abandoned radar towers along the shores of Hudson’s Bay. Wary of people, they’re known to leave nest and young long before a helicopter comes near. Rough-legged hawks, about the same size and shape as our familiar red-tails, are open tun- dra birds, preying more on voles and lemmings than the larger hares and ground squirrels that golden eagles feed on. More than a hundred rough-legs counted at the Thunder Bay Hawk Watch in early October, compared to zero last year, suggested a food short- age in some parts of the Arctic, and that more would be coming our way. Sure enough, 10 have already been sighted at Cranber- ry Marsh, as well as nine golden eagles.

But we’re giving the world more –- with trade deals, on missions, with climate change –- because as our prime minis- ter said at his inaugural address to the U.N., “We’re Canadian, and we’re here to help.” Now I hear you, Bono and Prime Minister Trudeau. Helping is good, but then there’s that pesky little issue of our own backyard. Let’s be truthful: it’s more exciting to deal with stuff that’s out there rather than right here, and one of the major things we have to deal with personally is household debt. Leslie Preston, senior economist with Toronto-Dominion Bank, said in a note. “Canadians love debt, and with inter- est rates this low, why wouldn’t they,” (Source: The Globe and Mail). This generation is well-acquainted with loans and credit. Most people can’t continue their education after second- ary school without it, never mind buy a car or a house. So it’s our normal. But the problem is if we now consider debt a part of the family, it’s unlikely we’ll ever disown it. I remember when I discovered that one of my parents had a department store credit card debt that was older than me! We grew up together. It helped to bring nice things into the house. They all seemed great at the time. But what did I know? I was an unas- suming kid. Now I’ve been awakened to the horrible truth that our households, our nation and the world are running on fake money, yet they expect us to pay it back. But what if you don’t pay it back? What if you only make the minimum payments for years? As most credit statements will tell you, if you keep making the minimum pay- ment, it will take you X amount of years (or as my family would say, donkey’s years) to pay it back. Translation: Com- pany ABC owns you for that amount of time. Anyone ever wonder why they only cal- culate the minimum amount you must pay each month? If I spend $100 on a credit card one month, why isn’t that the minimum pay- ment for the next month? I can’t help but feel that “they” like us being right where they have us -– in a vir- tual reality with very real consequences and that’s a part of Canada that no one needs more of, us included. -- Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is a communicator of truth.

That’s timely, as used or unwanted batter- ies are being collected across Durham Region from Nov. 7 to 11. Batteries will be collected on regular gar- bage collection day. As much as 92 per cent of battery components are recyclable and recoverable. Recycling batteries also removes mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals from entering the waste stream. All homeowners with curbside collection received two orange labels with their 2016- 17 waste management calendars. The labels should be affixed to a clear, sealable plas- tic bag containing unwanted batteries and the bag should be placed on the top of blue boxes. Only household batteries are collected. Automotive batteries are not accepted in the curbside collection. They should be taken to a Regional waste management facility for recycling. Residents who miss their collec- tion day or don’t have curbside collection can take batteries to a waste management facil- ity or can visit www.makethedrop.ca to find recycling sites open year-round. For more information, visit www.durham. ca/battery , e-mail waste@durham.ca, call 1-800-677-5671 or download the Durham Region Waste app. 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 • No v e m b e r 3 , 2 0 1 6 15 AP Offering independent, assisted, secured living & respite services!

Shop at Home www.ClassicFloorShopInc.com BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A bid for release by Rob- ert Lutczyk, the former Oshawa council- lor convicted last year of kidnapping and weapons offences, has been denied by the Parole Board of Canada. The board rejected Lutczyk’s applica- tions for both day and full parole following a video conference at Warkworth Peniten- tiary on Monday, Oct. 31. Lutczyk pleaded guilty last December and was sentenced in February to eight years and four months in federal custody. In a written decision released following the hearing, parole board members cited what they perceive as a failure on Lutczyk’s part to take responsibility for his offences and the effect they had. “In the board’s view this lack of clear understanding of your offending, or reluc- tance to admit to it, is a considerable con- cern going forward,” the decision reads. Lutczyk has yet to obtain skills required to cope with stresses he may experience outside prison, the board concluded, not- ing he appears to be ambivalent about his need for counselling. Lutczyk pleaded guilty in December 2015 to kidnapping and weapons charg- es, laid after a bizarre series of events in October 2012 that saw him abduct Oshawa City solicitor David Potts at gunpoint, try to outrun cops with the lawyer in his SUV, then hole up inside a Whitby indus- trial complex for more than 24 hours, sur- rounded by dozens of officers. Potts escaped and ran to safety just before the lengthy stand-off began. Lutc- zyk has remained in custody since his arrest. The former politician was given credit for the equivalent of five years in pretrial custody, leaving him a term of three and a half years to serve in prison. The Correctional Service of Canada, which is responsible for federal prisons, recommended Lutczyk’s parole applica- tion be denied, citing his lack of account- ability for his crimes. CSC also questioned the feasibility of Lutczyk’s release plan, which was based on residency at a halfway house or with relatives. He’s not been cited for any disciplinary infractions while in federal custody, the decision noted. Lutczyk is eligible to apply for parole again in a year. He is eligible for statutory release in May 2018.

But we’ve only just begun to explore tech’s possibilities for bettering managing our health. Read on for three ways your healthcare is improving with medical tech. 1. Shorter wait times. Doctors can share results online and connect patients directly with specialists and pharmacists, rather than rely on unnecessary and time consuming in-person visits. This frees up clinic care teams to focus on critical face-to-face care. Many doctors are also having patients answer online pre-appointment questionnaires, so they’re up to speed on what the problem is and can start dealing with it straight away. 2. Empowered patients. Digital health tools also help build closer relationships between patients and doctors. Dr. François Loubert is at the forefront of digital and technological adoption. His clinic uses Telus Health’s personal health records, an online tool that lets patients safely and securely access their medical tests and lab results, monitor prescriptions, and organize appointments. Patients can also upload their own health information and data, giving them more insight into their overall health picture. 3. The most up-to-date care. With digital personal health records and other resources at their fingertips, patients can trust that nothing falls through the cracks. If a specialist changes a prescription, they can update the person’s record, and both the patient and doctor can see the change. “My patients always have instant access to their records, which means nothing gets missed. We both stay up-to-date and they get the most accurate care possible,” explains Loubert.

See more events at www.durhamregion.com-events Making art and memories in Ajax for 50 years Ajax Creative Arts marks half a century BY MIKE RUTA mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Enid Roberts wanted to join Ajax Creative Arts -- but had a crisis of confidence. “I was too scared,” she says. “I didn’t think I was good enough to join. I saw some of their paintings and I thought, ‘no way’.” The artist’s club, which features members from every Durham munic- ipality, is celebrating 50 years in 2016. The group’s fall show and sale runs Nov. 11, 12 and 13 in the H.M.S. Room of the Ajax Community Cen- tre, 75 Centennial Rd. And an exhib- it of members’ works, featured in the club’s anniversary calendar, has been touring Durham and is now at Whit- by’s Station Gallery until Nov. 27. One of the works in the calendar is a painting by Roberts, 92, a long-time Ajax resident, who mustered up the courage to join ACA many years ago, “It’s the best thing I ever did; I love every minute of it here,” she says at the Village Community Centre, where members paint, talk, laugh and help one another. “The people, so friendly and fun, I’ve learned so much.” The group started at “The Little Gal- lery” of Bill Barron and Doris Boyd a year before Canada turned 100. It moved to the old schoolhouse on Pickering Beach Road in 1969 and has been at the VCC since 1990. While most of the 113 members live in Ajax and Pickering, Whitby is well repre- sented and others come from as far away as Bowmanville and Sunder- land. Art Rosbottom of Whitby is one of the newer members, joining a year- and-a-half ago. “I had been aware of this club for a while and was also aware it was quite progressive,” he says. An artist for decades, he left paint- ing for several years, busy with his career and family. As an ACA mem- ber, he has experienced first-hand the “really good atmosphere” at the club, where there are no cliques and every- body is treated equally. Rosbottom, who was working on a rare acrylic painting at a regular Mon- day painting session, prefers to work in oils, arguing “it’s just more flex- ible” and there’s more range com- pared to using acrylics. Roberts also uses oils, likes to paint flowers and nature in general and has taken advantage of the many work- shops offered at the club. She says she has become a better artist, able to see things in her work that she didn’t see before. She was making art before becoming a member, but Roberts adds she was just “playing around” with art. “I realized how little I knew when I came,” she says. Rosbottom, who began painting because he couldn’t afford to buy art and wanted something on his bare walls, plans on taking a workshop or two as he wants to get into waterco- lour painting. “Coming back to painting again was like coming back to an old friend,” he says.

ACA holds its annual fall show and sale on Nov 11, 12 and 13 at the Ajax Community Centre, H.M.S. Room. Ajax filmmaker Cynthia Banks’s new work premieres Nov. 10 AJAX -- Cynthia Banks’s new film hasn’t had its premiere yet -- but it’s already creating some buzz, listed as an Official Selection at the Cinema World Fest Awards. The Ajax resident, a former CBC, National Film Board of Canada and TV Ontario producer, is the writ- er and director of many documen- tary films, including Reefer Riches and Apocalypse 2012. Her latest is Over the Top, which “introduc- es amusing and quirky Rick Hard- ing, renowned for his peculiar and compulsive approach to life, who for over 50 years has been entertaining and inspiring himself and his fel- low Lindsay residents with his ‘live out loud’ authentic and peculiar life- style,” states a press release. “Whether Rick is jumping a fence, flying down a mountain, or plunging into some body of water, he does it with gusto,” Banks states. “Audiences will want to know what drives Rick to set these wild and out- rageous goals.” For more information on the film, visit bit.ly/2eK2Rwm . The film premiere is Nov. 10 at 9:55 p.m. at Toronto’s Carlton theatre, 20 Carlton St. For tickets, visit bit.ly/2dLSSXV.

When an athlete gets lost in overtrain- ing, trying to force results, making too many sacrifices and does not learn to balance school work, chores at home, social activities and fun, something has to give. Physical and psychological inju- ries are common for those who don’t learn to balance life and sport. Physical injuries may happen when the athlete is tired, exhausted and unable to feel joy from the sport. Recovery from physical injuries can be short term, long term or permanent. Most physical injuries are accompa- nied by loss of confidence, fear of not recovering and fear of getting injured again. These factors, unless addressed, may prolong the healing process. Con- cussions are the hardest to treat and take the longest to heal. Psychological injuries tend to be more complex and difficult to treat because they are invisible. Moreover, issues like depression and anxiety tend to be hidden by athletes because they have been trained to act like soldiers and be tough and strong. Our experience working with athletes with psychological issues is that they feel they are a sign of weakness and that others will regard them as losers. In fact, the opposite is the truth. It’s a sign of strength and courage to heal the pain that holds them back from opti- mal performance. Moreover, psychological issues are treatable and relatively easy to fix with the right kind of therapy. Some peo- ple think that depression and anxiety are chemical imbalances and must be treated with medication. Most of the athletes who come to us with anxiety and depression issues recover without drugs and go on to become model ath- letes and citizens. We have found success with these physically and psychologically injured athletes using present-moment think- ing, positive self-talk, goal-setting, banishing negative thinking, past mis- takes and failures, and learning to relax, breathe, laugh, and have fun. These tools are at the same time cor- rective and preventative. Dr. Douglas Smith is a licensed psychologist in Ontario specializing in sport psychology since 1985.

Timpano was named CHL goalie of the week and MacIntyre CHL player of the week. Timpano, who turns 19 in November, backstopped the Erie Otters to a pair of victories, including a shutout, as the Otters moved into a share of first place in the Midwest Division. On Thursday, Oct. 28, he made 24 saves as part of a 5-2 win over the Barrie Colts, then earned first- star honours Saturday with a 27-save performance, recording his second shut- out of the season by a 6-0 score over the Saginaw Spirit. Timpano is playing in his fourth OHL season and first with the Otters after being acquired in the off-season from the Sudbury Wolves, where he was a sec- ond-round pick in the 2013 OHL draft. He won his ninth straight game to start the season Tuesday, a 5-4 overtime deci- sion over Guelph, and leads the league with a goals-against average of 2.10. MacIntyre, meanwhile, was an honour- able mention as OHL player of the week for the second week in a row after pick- ing up seven points in three games with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, but was later named CHL player of the week. Drafted out of the Whitby Wildcats in the second round by Mississauga in 2012, MacIntyre is flourishing in his over- age season, his second with the Grey- hounds. With eight goals and 27 points through 16 games, he sits tied for sec- ond in league scoring, four point behind Erie’s Taylor Raddysh. DURHAM — The Whitby Fury and Pickering Panthers have both dropped three games in a row in Ontario Junior Hockey League play recently, includ- ing once each to the red-hot Cobourg Cougars. The Cougars, ranked fourth in Can- ada among Jr. A teams, skated to a 6-3 win over the Fury Sunday, Oct. 30 at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre, improving to 15-2-0-0 and moving three points up on Whitby (13-5-0-1) in the tight East Division. The Panthers had a busy but unproduc- tive week, losing 4-1 in Newmarket and twice at home, 7-1 to the Cougars and 3-0 to Markham, to drop to 4-14-0-1 for the season, four points back of Newmarket (6-13-0-1) for the final playoff spot. Eric Becker scored Pickering’s only goal against Newmarket in the second peri- od, cutting into a 2-0 deficit, but the Hur- ricanes scored the only two in the final frame to win for the third time in two weeks over the Panthers. Anthony Stavrou’s second-period goal against the Cougars also made the score 2-1, but Cobourg scored late in the sec- ond and added four in the third to win handily. The Panthers and Fury meet for the second time this season on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 2:10 p.m. at Iroquois Park. Before that, the Panthers are in Tren- ton (15-3-0-0) and the Fury in Markham (13-4-0-1), both on Friday.

The Trojans beat the Spartans 2-0 in a shootout to win the gold medal. Pickering was a perfect 8-0 in LOSSA league play before winning three playoff match- es to take the title. The Trojans now advance to the Nov. 3-5 OFSAA provincial champion- ships in Kitchener, where they are ranked seventh among the 16 teams. ryan pfeiffer / Metroland 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 • No v e m b e r 3 , 2 0 1 6 30 AP SportS OHL club moves into first place in Eastern Conference with five points in three games Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — It hasn’t taken the Oshawa Generals long to get back to what has become a familiar spot over the past few years: first place in the OHL’s Eastern Con- ference. Although there’s not much separating top from bottom this season and plenty could change over the next five months, the Generals have taken over the lead in the conference by grabbing nine points over the past five games, including five in three games last week. Considering the Generals dropped from first to eighth place in a rebuilding year last season and lost their first three games this season, the climb has been impressive. “At the start of the year, you always want to be careful with projections, but I think we’re a little bit ahead of things,” gener- al manager Roger Hunt said of his expec- tations this season. “It’s nice to look up there and see you’re in first place, but we’re never going to judge our year on being in first place on Nov. 1st. This year, we’ll be judged on advancement in the playoffs. That’s our goal.” The rise began with the return of captain Anthony Cirelli and goalie Jeremy Brodeur from NHL camps, as the two veterans have led the team to a 9-2-0-1 record over the past dozen games. Oshawa’s overall record of 9-5-0-1 is good enough for a tenuous hold on first place, two points up on the Hamilton Bull- dogs (8-5-1-0), North Bay Battalion (8-6-1- 0) and Sudbury Wolves (8-6-1-0). The Generals played two of those teams last week, losing 5-4 in a shootout in North Bay Thursday and beating the Wolves 3-1 in Sudbury Friday before returning home and prevailing 3-2 in overtime over the Mississauga Steelheads Sunday before 4,204 fans at the General Motors Centre. Best news of all is the many different players who have been contributing to the success, including three players netting their first goals of the season over the past three games, and backup goalie Kyle Key- ser earning a much-needed win against Sudbury. It was Brodeur who was mostly respon- sible for Sunday’s win, however, skating off with the first star after turning aside 41 of 43 shots. Medric Mercier, an overage defence- man acquired from the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, scored the winning goal 2:38 into overtime, his second in five games as a General after notching his first in North Bay. Eric Henderson, with his fifth of the sea- son, and rookie Danil Antropov, with his second, also scored Sunday, while Cirelli had two assists. Keyser also nabbed first-star honours, in Sudbury, rebounding from a tough previ- ous start to make 33 saves and record his second win of the season. Defenceman Daniel Robertson’s first goal of the season proved to be the winner, while Jack Stud- nicka and Henderson also scored. In North Bay, Grayden Gottschalk scored his first career OHL goal and Kyle MacLean his first of the season to stake the Generals to a 2-0 lead, but the Battalion fought back to win in a shootout despite a 44-34 shots advantage for Oshawa. The Generals are now 7-1-0-0 at home this season, good news with two more com- ing up this weekend, Friday, Nov. 4 against Owen Sound (8-7-0-0) and Sunday, Nov. 6 against Ottawa (5-8-2-0) at the newly named Tribute Communities Centre. GENERALLY SPEAKING: The Gener- als’ struggling power play went 2-for-2 in North Bay, but 0-for-6 the next two games and is currently 18th in the league at 11.9 per cent … Serron Noel had a goal and assist in Canada Red’s 4-3 win over Swe- den at the 2016 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Sault Ste. Marie Monday, Oct. 31. His assist came on a goal by Port Per- ry’s Ty Dellandrea of the Flint Firebirds. … GM Roger Hunt was in the Soo Monday, but more to see Jack DeBoer of the United States, a second-round pick of the Gener- als who has committed for now to Boston University … Anthony Cirelli and Mitch- ell Vande Sompel will play for the OHL team in the Canada-Russia Super Series game Thursday, Nov. 10 in North Bay. They are not playing Monday, Nov. 14 in Ham- ilton owing mostly to the schedule, which has them playing three games in a row in between for the Generals. Generals climb all the way to the top 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.

Makenzy Arsenault continued an out- standing season in goal for the Wolves Sat- urday, Oct. 29, turning aside all 32 shots she faced to down the Nepean Wildcats and record her third shutout in five games this season. The next day in Ottawa, it was Rachel McQuigge’s turn to shine, making 17 saves against the Lady Sens. The Wolves have moved into a tie for fourth place in the 20-team league with a record of 8-2-1-0, while Nepean (10-4-1-0) sits in sec- ond place and Ottawa (1-9-2-0) in 18th. The Durham West Lightning (6-1-2-1) are nipping on the heels of the Wolves after tak- ing three points in their past two games, a 4-0 win over Etobicoke in Ajax Oct. 29, and 2-2 with Leaside on the road the next day. Allison Small came up big in goal Satur- day, making 21 saves for her second shut- out. Karissa Hoskin’s goal 1:31 into the game stood up as the winner, but Taylor Hicks, Charlea Pedersen and Natalie Wozney added third-period markers for good mea- sure. Alexandra Maw assisted on three. Emily Pinto and Wozney scored second- period goals Sunday, but Leaside had goals in the first and third periods against Danika Ranger, who made 35 saves in the game. It’s the Lightning’s turn to travel east this weekend, with games in Nepean Saturday and Ottawa Sunday, while the Wolves have home games Friday against Toronto (9-3- 0-0) and Sunday against Brampton (0-8-2- ) sandwiched around a Saturday game in Oakville (12-0-2-0). Durham West Lightning within striking range of Whitby Wolves Ridgebacks soccer reaches OUA semis OSHAWA — The UOIT women’s soccer team will be playing for a medal at the OUA championships hosted by the University of Western Ontario next weekend. The Ridgebacks, ranked third in Canada, punched their ticket to the final four with a 2-0 quarter-final victory over the Lauren- tian Voyageurs at Civic Fields on Saturday, Oct. 29. UOIT, which finished first in the East Divi- sion with a 13-2-1 record, will face Wind- sor (8-1-7) in one semifinal at 3 p.m. Fri- day, Nov. 4 in London. Queen’s (11-4-1) and Western (9-1-6) will square off in the other semifinal at 7 p.m., leading up to the medal games on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 11 a.m. (bronze) and 2 p.m. (gold). The Ridgebacks controlled Saturday’s match, outshooting the Voyageurs 19-3, including 10-1 in the first half. Despite the lopsided shot total in the opening 45 min- utes, UOIT and Laurentian went into the break scoreless. It wasn’t until the 57th min- ute that Nicole Zajac broke the deadlock when she banked in a perfectly placed cross from Jessica Mithrush. Taijah Henderson of Ajax upped the lead to 2-0 on a solo effort 10 minutes later, rac- ing by a Laurentian defender before beating goalkeeper Dina Mandolesi. This marks the second time in the five- year history of the women’s soccer program that the Ridgebacks have advanced to the final four. The previous trip, to Hamilton in 2014, resulted in a bronze medal, the first in program history. 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 • No v e m b e r 3 , 2 0 1 6 32 AP Intermediate Accounting Position McCloskey International seeks an experienced, competent individual to join its Finance/ Accounting Team in an Intermediate Accounting role.
