Feraidon Ibrahem faces murder charge in death of his wife, Nasira Fazli BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A man fighting a first- degree murder charge has testified he was blinded by a “black veil” of fear and rage during the confrontation that led to his wife’s death in their Ajax home. “I don’t know how I attacked my wife and how I stabbed her with the knife,” Feraidon Ibrahem said through a court interpreter Monday. “I was feeling that my connection to the outside world was cut off.” Ibrahem’s description of events lead- ing to the death of his wife, Nasira Fazli, came near the end of his sixth day on the witness stand. Jurors have heard much about the fractious relationship between the two, who were participants in a mar- riage arranged by their families. Fazli, 31, was stabbed multiple times on July 19, 2013 in the Torr Lane home she shared with Ibrahem and their young son. Although Fazli and Ibrahem were married in 2010, he remained in Afghanistan and joined her in Cana- da just three months before her death, court has heard. During his lengthy testimony in his own defence, Ibrahem has been ques- tioned extensively by defence lawyer Fariborz Davoudi about his relationship with Fazli. Court has heard their hopes for a happy life in Canada were derailed when Ibrahem, trained as a doctor in Afghan- istan, couldn’t gain accreditation here and struggled to find work. Ibrahem testified he and Fazli had been bickering about his situation on the day she died, a stormy summer Fri- day. He said Fazli became enraged and “attacked” the bicycle he used to get around, puncturing the tires and seat with a pair of scissors. The argument continued inside the house, said Ibrahem, who insisted he kept retreating as his wife continued to angrily shout at him. It was near a bath- room on the second floor of their house that the encounter turned deadly, he testified. Ibrahem said Fazli uttered insults and threatened to kill him, then slapped his face and reached for a knife he’d left on the bathroom vanity after using it to scrape away paint he’d splattered earlier. “Before she grabbed the knife I man- aged to grab the knife,” he said. “As soon as I grabbed the knife I felt something like a black veil come in front of my eyes ... it was a combination of fear, fury, rage, extreme upset, sadness.” Ibrahem offered no account of how Fazli came to be stabbed eight times. “When the black veil lifted, I found I was in the kitchen,” he said. “The knife was in my hand.” Ibrahem testified that he raced back upstairs where he found Fazli, dead. Court has heard police officers respond- ing to a 911 call made by Ibrahem found her body on the floor, wrapped in a blan- ket. The trial continues in Oshawa.

You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep. You have too many dreams left undone to let back pain slow you down; too many special moments waiting to be experienced. Life is too short to let pain slow you down. Pain is your body’s warning sign telling you something is wrong. Sure, you can numb the pain if you take enough pain or anti-inflammatory pills. When you mask the pain, it can prevent your back from healing – maybe even damage it further. Not to mention many of the pain medications available are quite addictive and can have devastating side effects. Could This Be the Solution to your Back Pain? We are Dr. Michael Gauthier and Dr. Mark Kasiban. Over the past 19 years we’ve seen hundreds of people with back pain leave our office pain free. Because we’ve seen it with our own eyes, we know... Back pain is NOT “just a part of life” and something you have to live with. 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 stars and entertainers…like Tiger Woods, Emmitt Smith, Tony Robbins, Joe Montana, Lance Armstrong, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson receive chiropractic care. These professional athletes have the money to hire any kind of doctor they want, yet they choose to have a chiropractor on their team. “Here’s what some patients have to say…” “I had a sore back for 20 years and after I started chiropractic it was gone.” (D. D., Ajax) “I used to cry myself to sleep…now the pain is gone” (A. P., Ajax) “I was in pain constantly. I was told I would need a hip replacement in a few years. I would have to live with the pain. After getting chiropractic adjustments I am completely pain free. I have control back in my life. Thanks.” (M. M., Whitby) Here’s what some of the top medical researchers have to say about chiropractic… “Chiropractic adjustments, with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.” –British Medical Journal “Chiropractic adjustments of the spine are more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine, back corsets, and ultrasound.” –Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back on the golf course, playing with your kids, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

A pastor from Prince Edward Island is among those accused in the scams, which targeted two vulnerable people and a north Durham charitable organization, Durham police said. An investigation dubbed Project Banshee was begun in the spring of 2016 after an 89-year-old Oshawa widow was targeted by fraudsters who befriended her, eventually gaining access to her credit card and taking out a mortgage against her property, police said. The senior, faced with losses of about $160,000, was threatened with eviction over missed mort- gage payments, police said. Police made arrests in that incident last May. Further investigation has revealed a second vul- nerable person from Oshawa was victimized, police said. Suspects acquired power-of-attorney status in the victim’s name, then obtained credit cards and a mortgage, police said. Losses to the victim are in excess of $325,000, police said. Police also allege a member of the group attempted to defraud a north Durham charitable organization of $525,000. Now charged with fraud offences and participating in a criminal organization are Harold Alan Stewart, 66, iden- tified as a pastor from Prince Edward Island; Alexsander Budimirovic, 50, of Elizabeth Street, Oshawa, and Ashley Carlson, 18, of Elizabeth Street in Oshawa. Previously charged were Julie Carlson, 49, of Elizabeth Street, Oshawa, and 48-year-old Pasquale Reda, of Waller Street, Whitby. An investigation continues.

ON NOW AT THE BRICK! Letters to the editor Pickering council’s actions don’t pass the sniff test To the editor: Re: Council’s decision to pave a num- ber of north Pickering roads. Why would council approve millions of tax dollars to pave the 7th conces- sion, a 5.5-km section of gravel road which runs through the middle of fed- eral government lands and has but a dozen homes? This didn’t smell right. The answer came this week when I learned that council is poised to vote next Monday on a staff report which recommends asking the federal gov- ernment to fast-track the construction of an airport. Considering the Polonsky report on the future use of the lands has not been released, that Transport Can- ada’s two- to three-year Aviation Sector Analysis is barely underway, and that 5,000+ acres of these lands are inside Pickering’s borders as part of the Rouge National Urban Park, any vote by coun- cil would be reckless. Council is pre- pared to take a decision which is not open, transparent or with public input. And all without representation of a Ward 3 local councillor. Our councillor died a month ago. Two years ago this council passed a motion that demanded the federal gov- ernment conduct an open, transparent process with public consultation and a proven business case before making any decision on an airport. Funny how this council was adamant that Ottawa be held to these high standards but is pre- pared to excuse itself from the same. The smell has become a stink. Joe Bezubiak Brougham Minister of health should treat both hospital boards equally To the editor: Re: Building a stronger health-care system in Durham, column, Nov. 9 I was rather disappointed in Dr. Eric Hoskins recent rather shallow col- umn, regarding the takeover of the Ajax -Pickering hospital. He states that Bowmanville hospital is not closing on his watch (period). Just how long does he think “his watch” is going to be? Any realist should know that two years will likely be the max. Then what? He does not explain why Scarborough got a new hospital board, while Ajax- Pickering hospital is being merged into an existing unbalanced hospital board. What are we, “chopped liver”? He makes the ridiculous assumption that because 60 per cent of Lakeridge Health board live or work in west Dur- ham that we will be properly represent- ed. “Poppycock”. Their loyalties lie with the existing board; that’s why they are there in the first place, otherwise they would be on the Ajax-Pickering hospital board. As Ajacians, I am not as opposed to the merger as I am with the in-proper bal- ance on the board. Not even necessarily now, but in the future with a new gov- ernment or management. Let’s be realistic, change is inevitable in hospital management and govern- ments; so Dr. Hoskins, please do what is right and treat us all equally. Bill Watson Ajax Regional taxes should be decreased says reader To the editor: Re: Article ‘Durham councillors must remember taxpayers not made of money”, editorial, Oct. 27 I cannot understand the requirement for any tax increase in the mill rate. I am suggesting that it should be decreased. This past summer we received our new property tax assessment value. In a nut- shell, our property taxes are rising by 40 per cent over the next five years. This is well above the rate of inflation. Since many Pickering/Durham proper- ties are rising in value, the associated tax increases are also rising concurrently. Why is this windfall tax grab not men- tioned by any politician or news outlet ... and how are these extra funds being allocated? How is this helping retired seniors liv- ing on pensions ... our pensions are cer- tainly not rising by 40 per cent let alone the two per cent increase on the region portion of the tax bill. Is anyone paying attention to the total dollar amount we pay in taxes, let alone the amount of increase? Keith Parker Pickering The asphalt jungle, Harwood Avenue South To the editor: Since the ‘road improvements’ of Har- wood Avenue South are completed, my wife and I decided to take a walk on the city’s new pristine bike/pedestrian thor- oughfare. The path is well marked, advising pedestrians where they are allowed to walk. The bike path is also proper- ly marked, advising cyclists which path they belong on. It is also encouraging to see that a solid double line was painted protecting walk- ers from erratic cyclists. I did notice that the design allows pedestrians (and assuming dogs) to walk northbound or southbound on the west side of Harwood. However, cyclists must ride in a south- bound direction. I was wondering if these are ‘sugges- tions’ or whether they will be enforced. Will we have photo cameras to identify cyclists or pedestrians crossing the dou- ble line? What happens when a dog crosses into a cyclist’s path?

Do you ever get to the point in your joyful, busy, kid- free, pickleball filled adulthood that a whole day might even pass with- out once, let alone several times, won- dering what your offspring are up to? Are they safe? Happy? Fulfilled? Is your job as a parent ever done? Somehow, I don’t think so. From the moment children arrive in our lives, they integrally factor into every single important and not a few mundane decisions we make. Where should we live? What are the schools like? Are there enough bedrooms in this house for the kids? For the grandkids? For the kids and their partners? Should we buy whole wheat or rye? Should I hang onto the old van ... in case some- body needs to move? Should I tear the tree fort down or leave it up? Should we go on vacation or keep that money for the future ... for their future? Should we check into an assisted living space before that decision falls onto the kids’ shoulders? This is what parents, good parents, do. Constantly. They are invested in their children for life. It may sometimes drive those same children nuts ... but in due course they, too, will find themselves repeating identical behaviors with their own brood. I am 56 years old. My children are grown and well on their way to their own, separate, independent lives. I have a loving, devoted partner. I have par- ents of my own who are precious to me. I have siblings I love deeply and I have pets that I adore. And I am blessed with more wonderful friends, colleagues and associates than anyone could ask for. And yet, I know, I would throw them all under the bus in a heartbeat if it meant the safety and happiness of my kids. I think we all would, wouldn’t we? That’s what you sign on for when you bring those little things into this world. A life- time contract. In my experience there is no occupa- tion more challenging, fulfilling, uplift- ing and exhausting than that of a par- ent. It is a mantle that, once donned, can never really be taken off. Some try and some wear it poorly, but it never fully comes off. But if you accept it, embrace it and wear it proudly and with love, it will reward you and enrich your life in a thousand different ways. And, for my money, I can’t think of a better legacy, when I reach the end of my days, than to have it said of me ... ‘He loved his children well and truly”. I can cer- tainly live with that. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column Neil Crone Enter Laughing our opiNioN There are different ways to help local charities apart from donating cash, toys or food items At this time of year the push to give to local charities and food drives seems to be never ending. At shopping malls or inside grocery stores charities are set up in need of donations. You can even donate to charities when making purchases. At home, children also bring home requests for food for their schools’ annual food drives. Most of us give to the extent that we can knowing there is an ever-increasing number of Durham residents who strug- gle with the necessities of life on a weekly basis. To them the holidays are not as cel- ebratory as they are for most of us. As the demand for charitable dollars grows there’s a real risk of donor fatigue. You cannot be expected to give every time you leave your house. One way to ease the pressure to give and put your donation to good use is to donate to a specific charity that has outreach in the community. Two such charities are the United Way of Durham Region or the Salvation Army. These two organizations fund a number of pro- grams and services right across Durham Region that help many, many people. But there are other ways you can help the less fortunate apart from donating money or a food item to a charity. These organizations are always looking for help so why not donate a couple of hours of your time? We encourage our youth to learn the value of volunteerism through their community service hours at school. Why not lead by example? Food banks, seniors’ centres and service clubs rely on volunteers and there’s always need for more helping hands. And your help doesn’t have to end with the holidays. Charities operate 12 months a year. It’s only near Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas that a real push is put on Durham residents to donate. Volun- teering your time can create a positive change for many in July just as it does in December. The sad reality is your help is always needed for others living in our commu- nity. Whether you donate a toy, food or volunteer your time, do what you can. While it’s nice to receive it’s even better to be in a position to give.

Durham’s Festive RIDE program, which runs between late November and early Jan- uary each year, continues to be remarkably successful at detecting impaired drivers, with an average of more than 120 drinking and driving charges laid each year. That’s a good news-bad news scenario, according to Sergeant Matt Flower of Dur- ham’s Traffic Enforcement Unit. While Dur- ham’s program is clearly catching drunk driv- ers, there are still an alarmingly high number of people who choose to drive after drinking. That’s in spite of years of education and enforcement, including high-profile efforts like Festive RIDE. “You can’t fix stupid,” Flower drily observed. “The message is out there; it’s being drilled into the public,” he said. “But that message has to be received,” A case in point is Thursday, Nov. 17. That day Durham police held a media event to announce the launch of the annual Festive RIDE campaign. Speakers representing the police, paramedics, Durham Transit and Mothers Against Drunk Driving implored the public to make wise choices when it came to drinking and driving during the holidays. That night the first spot checks of this year’s Festive RIDE campaign were set up, with 730 vehicles stopped in Oshawa and Ajax. Five people were charged with drinking and driving offences, among them a 26-year-old man who was travelling on Taunton Road in Oshawa when his van left the roadway, crossed the sidewalk and struck a post near a gas station. By the time the first full weekend of the campaign was complete, 19 drinking and driving charges had been laid, and another 19 motorists received three-day licence sus- pensions after registering a warning on road- side blood alcohol screening devices. The numbers are stark, but they are affect- ed by the aggressive approach taken by Dur- ham’s RIDE team. They’ve had significant success over the years by employing a strat- egy that sees the team targeting areas where drinking and driving is likely to occur, and setting up in multiple locations each night to cover a variety of areas. “We use intelligence-based policing,” Flow- er said. “We don’t just form a line and wait for them to come to us -- we go out and look for them.” Last year Durham police stopped 10,017 vehicles during Festive RIDE, administering 802 breath tests and charging 118 motorists with drinking and driving offences; another 129 were given three-day suspensions. The number of drunk driving charges laid in 2015 was significantly higher than in 2014, when 9,577 stops resulted in 98 drunk driving arrests and 98 three-day suspen- sions. In years prior, however, the numbers have sometimes spiked -- 132 drunk driv- ing charges in 2012, for instance, and 155 in 2011. Legislative changes mean that this year police have authority to impose sanctions -- including arrest, automatic licence suspen- sion and vehicle impoundment -- against drivers found to be impaired by drugs. Among the officers on the Festive RIDE team are drug recognition experts, Flower said. “They’re out there doing their job,” he said. “This past weekend is proof of that.” The Festive RIDE campaign continues into the new year, with Durham police providing weekly updates. Names of those charged are published on the Durham police website. Page 8 - Today’s editorial BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Patrons at LCBO stores in Durham Region this holiday season will be receiving a reminder not to drink and drive, courtesy of local students. More than 5,000 students at schools in Whitby have created hand-decorated LCBO paper bags with reminders about drinking responsibly, partnering with Durham police in the ongoing effort to combat impaired driving. That effort was saluted Tuesday morn- ing during an assembly at C.E. Brough- ton Public School, where Chief Paul Mar- tin joined with other officers in congrat- ulating students on a job well done. “Hopefully the adults will listen to you kids, because you’re smart and you know not to drink and drive,” said Martin. “Great job.” School liaison officer Constable Jason Cockburn said he heard about the pro- gram from a friend who works with the LCBO -- it’s been conducted for 15 years now -- and thought it a valuable addi- tion to ongoing efforts to fight drunk driving in Durham. He saw an opportu- nity to promote the message among two cohorts: the students who created the bags, and the adults who will read them when they make a purchase at the liquor store. “This is definitely a new medium to frame (the message),” he said. “It’s a slam dunk; it’s 100 per cent positive. I’ve had nothing but positive response.” Among the students who took part in Tuesday’s presentation at C.E. Brough- ton were Grade 8 students Faith Cassidy and Logan Gilmour, both of whom said that although they’re just entering their teens, they take the issue of impaired driving seriously. “It’s to help save lives,” Faith said of the effort. “To me, it means you’re trying to protect somebody from killing or getting into an accident that could harm them for life. “People want to get home to their fami- lies,” Faith said. Logan said the issue of impaired driv- ing is a prominent one for kids, who are reminded about responsible drinking in health class, and through the media. “It makes me feels sad,” Logan said of ongoing reports about drunk driving. “Most likely that person has hurt some- body else. “Nobody deserves that,” said Logan. The bags created by students in Whitby will be among 20,000 distributed by LCBO outlets during the holiday season.

Karleen Pendleton Jimenez celebrates launch of new book BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- What makes a girl, a girl? What makes a boy, a boy? What if you’re a girl- ish boy, or a boyish girl, or something else entirely? Dr. Karleen Pendleton Jiménez, co-ordina- tor of the Child and Youth Studies program at Trent University Durham, recently delved into that conversation by talking to 600 chil- dren and teens between the ages of eight and 18 about what gender means to them. Their stories, gathered through classroom workshops, are part of her new book Tom - boys and Other Gender Heroes: Confessions from the Classroom, which was officially launched at Trent’s campus in Oshawa on Nov. 22. Pendleton Jiménez says she asked students -- some of whom were from schools in Dur- ham -- to share their experiences with gen- der, and give examples of objects that make them feel like a boy or a girl. “That’s where you get truly thoughtful sto- ries, beautiful stories -- and some disturbing stories,” she says. Kids listed sparkly rings, Batman shoes, makeup, flowered jeans, soccer balls, soccer cleats as examples of objects that make them feel like a boy, or a girl. One female high school student shared how driving a truck makes her feel. “My truck is a part of me. When I drive it makes me feel responsible, grown up and country. Where I live, trucks are popular and I am proud to say that I drive one,” reads an excerpt. “But sometimes when I drive it to school, some of the boys say that trucks aren’t for girls, as if I should be driving a small cute car. I wouldn’t mind driving a car, but I like my truck. I feel confident when I drive it and I like it.” Pendleton Jiménez says the narratives not only contribute to a better understanding of gender, but also offer insight into how to combat sexism, homophobia and transpho- bia. Gender is an issue that hits close to home for the Trent professor, who says she was a tomboy growing up and was often asked by other kids whether she was a boy or a girl. Over the course of her career as a writ- er, researcher and associate professor with the School of Education at Trent, Pendle- ton Jiménez has written on gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity and homophobia. Her work includes Are You a Boy or a Girl?, a children’s book that was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in 2000, Tomboy an animated short film based on the book and Unleashing the unpopular: Talking about sexual orientation and gender diversity in education, a teacher resource she co-edited. Pendleton Jiménez says her newly released book offers an important takeaway for par- ents -- especially those whose kids express their gender in a “non-conforming” way. “If we can give kids the ability to feel con- fident about their gender, they’re going to walk stronger in this world,” she says.

Icewine, or wine made from grapes that were allowed to freeze while still on the vine, is not a historically recent invention. In fact some scholars believe that a similar wine was made by the Romans eons ago. Icewine was ‘rediscovered’ when an early and rather harsh winter occurred in late 18th century Germany. It was the custom of the local lord to order the beginning of harvest. One harvest, the lord was late and word to pick came down only after the grapes had frozen on the vine. The villagers decided to pick anyhow. The result was the making of a succulently sweet wine which they named ‘Eiswein.’ The rest is -- history. Germany became known for its Eiswein but owing to its weather, Canada, especially Ontario, has proven to be far more consistent in icewine production. Canadian production of icewine goes back to the mid 1970s in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. However, Ontario put Canada on the world wine map when the 1989 Inniskillin Vidal Icewine took top hon- ours at the 1991 VinExpo in France. Many wineries throughout Canada now have their own version of icewine. Though, for it to be called icewine, the same process must be followed. Ripe grapes are allowed to remain on the vine until a freeze with temperatures of at least minus eight degrees Celsius occurs. Late-night picking is common in order to take advantage of the cold. Pressing separates the frozen water from the sweet unfrozen grape syrup, which goes into a fermenting vat. Special yeasts are used to make the sweet juice into icewine. Typical grapes used for icewine are Ries- ling, Vidal, Cabernet Franc and Gewürztra- miner, though other grape varieties can be used. An interesting fact is that one of the co- founders of Inniskillin in 1975 has gone full circle with icewine. In 2007 Donald Ziraldo planted Riesling vines on the original site of Inniskillin. His Ziraldo Estate Icewine (Vintages #149609, $88.80) is nothing short of amazing. Well integrated with a fine balance, the wine has apricot, vanilla, citrus and peach on the nose with a full-bodied but refreshing tanginess on the palate that makes it ideal with fruit or dessert. It is what a first rate icewine should taste like. Icewine is an ideal Christmas treat. Have it with chocolate-covered strawberries or cheesecake. It will be superb. -- Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada. Icewine has a sweet history Wine With Chuck Byers BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Bright splashes of purple across Durham in the month of November are high- lighting awareness and prevention of abuse of women. Throughout the month, the colour purple will be used to highlight the issue in busi- nesses, homes and government buildings. That includes purple displays in store win- dows, people wearing purple and painting their nails purple and Paint the Town Purple Night on Nov. 25 where purple drinks, des- serts and entrees will be used to garner dona- tions to local women’s shelters. At Oshawa City Hall, purple lights illumi- nate the building, and garden sculptures were adorned with purple scarves courtesy of a City employee knitting group. Munici- palities across Durham have issued proc- lamations officially recognizing November as woman abuse awareness and prevention month. Sandra Filetti is a member of the Social Action Committee (of Durham steering com- mittee and she explains the importance of highlighting the issue of abuse. “Now is the time to carry the torch into our communities and shine the light beyond November and support prevention, it’s time that we say that’s enough,” she said. The statistics are harsh. In Canada, on aver- age, a woman dies from an attack by a part- ner or former partner every six days. On any given night, there are more than 3,000 women and 2,000 children living in shelters. Filetti said SAC Durham, with steering committee made up of abuse survivors, is publicizing the campaign to raise awareness and to educate the public. “This is not just a women’s issue, it’s a human rights issue and it’s men and women.” To highlight that message, the organization invited Ontario Federation of Labour presi- dent Chris Buckley to serve as the keynote speaker at the campaign launch. Buckley related his own story of experi- encing domestic violence as a child, clearly recalling the night his mother left his abusive father. “I remember the night my mother had enough ... I remember that cold winter night like it was yesterday,” he said. Buckley said his mother got up off the living room floor after being assaulted and took her four children into a snowstorm, walking to a friend’s house, the siblings taking turns car- rying the four-month-old baby. “I remember when her girlfriend opened that door, how warm it was and safe.” Buckley said witnessing domestic violence never leaves a child. “We men need to speak up and say vio- lence against women and girls is not accept- able.” Buckley said the labour movement is push- ing for workplace legislation that would give survivors of domestic violence 10 days of paid leave when they’re escaping. “I can’t see any political party in Queen’s Park not being in favour of such a bill.” Abuse of women highlighted during November purple campaign in Durham Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Young environmentalists OSHAWA -- Lauren Fishwick, left, and Maddison Morton, both Grade 5 students at St. John Bosco Catholic School, carried bags of fake poop during a Youth Environmental Summit hosted by the Durham Catholic District School Board at Camp Samac.

For the first time in 82 years, piping plovers nesting successfully on Darlington Beach I promised Glenn Coady way back in May that I wouldn’t write about the cut- est birds in Durham until he said I could. Birds so rare they’re on the endangered list, but because of where they chose to nest, were suddenly in plain view of any- one walking past. “Sitting ducks,” or in this case, sitting shorebirds. For the first time in 82 years, a pair of piping plovers -- winsome little sand- pipers the exact colour of dry beach sand, with a black band across their chest -- were nesting successfully on the north shore of Lake Ontario. On Darlington Beach, right here in Durham. Betsy Smith and Charmaine Anderson reported spotting three there on May 10, and on May 11 Glenn went out and found a male plover making scrapes all over the beach -- poten- tial nesting sites for his mate to choose from. Five days later Glenn found a scrape with one egg in it, and instantly phoned the Canadian Wildlife Service staff, who came and placed a wire exclusion around the nest to keep raccoons, gulls, peregrine falcons and other predators at bay. Plus signs and fencing to keep beach walkers a respectful distance from the celebrity parents, who soon produced a full clutch of four speckled eggs, perfect- ly camouflaged among the beach peb- bles. And Glenn settled in for three long months of piping plover protecting, with help from 40 dedicated volunteers who took turns sitting on the beach, making sure everyone who walked past knew not to disturb the busy, doting parents or the four fluffy babies that were soon scurrying across the sand on stick-like legs. Meanwhile, right down the beach, that third piping plover present in early May had managed to attract another pass- ing male, and was busy tending her own precious brood. Together these two historic pairings resulted in five healthy chicks taking off in early August for beaches in faraway Florida, where piping plovers overwin- ter. And hopefully, next spring they’ll return to the Great Lakes to continue expanding populations of this endan- gered species -- from ten nesting pairs in the 1960s to 75 pairs this summer. Glenn Coady, plover whisperer, will be presenting the whole fascinating piping plover story at the Durham Region Field Naturalists’ meeting this Monday, Nov. 28 (Civic Centre, Thornton Road South, Bobby Orr Room, at 7:30 p.m.). The public is welcome.

At its Nov. 21 meeting, council passed a motion for the City of Pickering to estab- lish guidelines that will encourage develop- ers and builders to be mindful of established community character when bringing for- ward draft plans and individual permits to build in Pickering communities. The City will put these guidelines together through a community engagement process with the help of a focus group. Now that the motion has been passed, staff will forward copies of the resolution to ratepayer and community associations, seeking appoint- ments to the group. The motion was brought forward by Ward 1 city Councillor Maurice Brenner and sec- onded by Ward 1 Regional Councillor Kevin Ashe.

Durham police had released a surveil- lance camera image of the suspect, who smashed a window to gain entry to the King Street East apartment building on Thursday, Nov. 17. The suspect made his way through hall- ways as residents were sleeping but was gone by the time officers arrived, police said. After receiving information from the pub- lic, police located a suspect in the vicinity of Simcoe Street and Olive Avenue at about 6 a.m. Wednesday. Cory Komhyr, 39, of no fixed address, is charged with break and enter.

Collection ends the week of Nov. 28 and resumes in April. The items are collected on the same day as garbage and recycling is collected. Durham collects in all municipalities, except Oshawa and Whitby. In those communities, the municipality is respon- sible for the collection. Residents should check their collection calendars, down- load the Durham Region Waste App or visit www.durham. ca/waste and select “When is my collection day?” to see their specific collection schedule. Only yard waste in kraft paper bags or clearly labelled rigid open-top reusable containers will be collected. Items in plastic bags will not be collected. Brush should be securely tied in bundles up to one metre (three feet) in length and 76 centimetres (30 inches) in width, weighing no more than 20 kilograms (44 pounds). Brush and tree trimmings must be 10 centimetres (four inches) or less in diameter. A homeowner who misses collection date may drop off leaf and yard waste at any of Durham’s waste management facilities during regular hours of operation (disposal fees will apply). For more information, visit www.durham.ca/waste , e-mail waste@durham.ca, call 1-800-677-5671 or down- load the Durham Region Waste app. Yard, leaf waste ending in Durham week of Nov. 28 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 2 4 , 2 0 1 6 19 AP AJAX PICKERING HOSPITAL FOUNDATION Your $10 goesdirectly to Yo Available at check out.Pick one up today!

Leaking basement?invest in your Foundation with over 35yrsexperience www.noleaks.ca905-686-6880 waterproofing 10year warranty! free estimates! professional and courteous service we will solvethe problem! Crawford & Sons: Fixing Basement Leaks Right the First Time Water can damage anything it comes across, including carpets, flooring, furniture, drywall, electronics and more. At the first sign of water entering your basement, it’s time to call the experts. Trying to repair it yourself can lead to delays and more damage being done. You want to work with professionals who will repair your basement leak right the first time. The first step in repairing a basement leak is pinpointing where the problem is. Every home is unique, and there isn’t a one-size-fits all solution for every type of leak. You need someone with experience who can determine the source of the water and come up with the right solution. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for over 35 years and has been in over 15,000 homes in Durham Region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine and I’m still learning,” he says. Once the source of the leak has been determined, Gordon will devise a solution that will be both successful and cost efficient. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Sometimes, the best solution is to stop the leak from inside. This will also avoid having to dig up any landscaping. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board is a very good solution,” says Gordon. “It’s extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping.” It’s important to fix the leak as soon as you spot it, as the longer you leave it, the more damage it will do. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation.

Spectra by Comcast Spectacor has launched the seventh annual Key to the TCC Contest, in which a lucky per- son will win a pair of tickets to every event in 2017 at Oshawa’s Tribute Com- munities Centre, formerly the General Motors Centre. And the 2017 calendar is fleshing out, with Tim Hicks, Dierks Bentley, Blue Rodeo, Bubble Guppies and Dean Brody among the acts coming to the venue. Breanna Webster of Bowmanville won the 2016 contest, Phil Dundee of Oshawa was the 2015 winner and Cour- tice’s Kim Engel took the 2014 event. “It’s funny,” says William Balfour, Spectra’s director of marketing and group sales at the TCC. “Some winners are stunned and have almost forgotten they entered. Others think it’s a prank.” He says Webster fell into the latter cat- egory: she arrived at the venue with her parents as she “didn’t know if it was a joke.” “It’s pretty entertaining to see how people react,” Balfour says. “It’s different each year but it’s a fun phone call or e-mail.” Engel arrived at the TCC with her family to claim her “fantastic prize. “I never win anything so when Will called me I was stunned and elated,” she said at the time. “I was absolutely shocked,” said a grateful Dundee two years ago. “I was reading the e-mail and I thought, ‘wait a minute’. I handed it to (his wife) Jennie and she started freak- ing out, ‘oh my God, you won’. At first I thought I was picked as a finalist.” Balfour says four days in to this year’s contest, he has already received more than 5,000 entries. Last year, almost 20,000 people entered and in recent years around 15,000 people have tried to win the key. The plan this year is to inform the winner on Christmas Eve or morning. Each month, the winner arrives at the venue to receive an envelope contain- ing a pair of tickets to every event. The contest runs until Dec. 23 at 6 p.m. Learn how to enter at www.trib- utecommunitiescentre.com/contest where you can also see the contest rules and regulations.

Young Singers is celebrating its 25th season with Peace, Hope and Love, an uplifting day of music, at 3 p.m. at For- est Brook Community Church. “It’s a great way to kick off the holiday season and support these talented sing- ers, who celebrate the cultural diversity of our community through their music,” says director Anna Lynn Murphy. The four choirs, made up of Durham youths ages six to 20, are performing familiar songs to get you into the Christ- mas spirit. As well, the choirs are singing “beau- tiful Hebrew music, a joyful Slovak folk song, music by U2 and a powerful multi-cultural tapestry that combines a famous European chant melody with a South African song in a work called Hope for Resolution,” states a press release. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and children (12 and under) and are available online at www.young- singers.ticketjunior.com . Forest Brook Community Church is at 60 Kearney Dr. Learn more about the choirs at www. youngsingers.ca.

Andrew Cymek and Brigitte Kingsley are the husband-and-wife team behind Good Soldier Films. They released Country Crush this year, a film starring Madeline Merlo, Jana Kram- er, Ajax native Munro Chambers, Kevin McGarry and Gene Simmons’s daughter, Sophie Tweed-Simmons. It’s the story of a small-town boy who falls for a city girl. “After filming Country Crush, we stayed in touch with some of the Canadian sol- diers,” Kingsley says. “We found out a lot about their struggles and wanted to help. They suggested doing care packages for the men and women serving overseas this holiday season to try to boost their morale and send them some much needed com- forts from home. We committed to doing 500 care packages by Nov. 30 and the mili- tary will ship them on time for the holidays. Colin Mochrie has donated 50 of his novels, Not Quite the Classics, so far and a group of local Durham writers have donated 160 of their books. We are trying to raise as much awareness and money as possible to hit our goal.” Kingsley explains that Corporal Marcus Goldade and a number of soldiers based in North Bay volunteered to play the roles of United States Marine Corps soldiers in a scene in Country Crush. “As a soldier in the Canadian military, we are often away from our friends and fami- ly,” Goldade states on the fundraising cam- paign website. “We are deployed to vari- ous parts of the world in support of peace operations. We have a support structure and exceptional leadership, but we are still missing our primary support system, which is our friends and family. Whether we are peacekeeping or fighting terrorism, we always hope that all of us come back whole. Having small comforts of home and gifts, no matter how big/small, puts a smile on our faces and makes us feel appreciated for what we do.” Good Soldier Films has launched a gener- osity campaign and is committing to donat- ing 100 per cent of the proceeds from their Good Soldier T-shirt sales and 10 per cent of the proceeds from their newly released feature films, Night Cries and The Man in the Shadows. Contribute to their generosity campaign at www.generosity.com/community-fund- raising/good-soldier-initiative . The Good Soldier initiative runs until Nov. 30.

Local artist, artisan and naturalist Eugene Dupuis is showing more than 100 tree for- mations, divided into five groups: statues, stump tables, mantle pieces, photographs and cutting boards. “Natural tree formations have emotional power,” he says in a press release. “These are rare and original examples that are beautiful or express ideas or feelings. Nature moves me ... and it inspired me to collect and, unknowingly, create this collection over three decades to share with others.” Dupuis is a member of Ajax Creative Arts, Station Gallery, The Robert McLaughlin Gallery and the Nature Conservancy of Canada. The show is at The Gallery at Heritage House, 497 Kingston Rd. W., Nov. 26 and 27 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Private viewing by appointment only from Nov. 28 to Dec. 18.

The training required for these activi- ties puts a lot of strain on the body. Ade- quate nutrition is needed for recovery, building muscle, increasing energy and focus. To improve energy and focus, com- bine protein and carbohydrates at all meals and snacks. While carbohydrates provide an excellent source of imme- diate energy to fuel practices, it is best combined with protein to prevent blood sugar levels from spiking and crashing and to keep energy levels consistent throughout the day. To combine protein and carbohy- drates, include whole grain toast with peanut butter, fruit and nuts or a bagel with cheese. Eating smaller meals more frequently during the day also helps pre- vent fatigue by supplying the body with a constant fuel supply. Good nutrition post-practice is key to building and maintaining lean muscle mass, promoting muscle repair, prevent- ing injuries as well as performing well at future practices and competitions. Exercise depletes the body of nutrients and energy, so it is critical to replenish these after practice. Try to eat as soon as possible after practice. The body is at its peak for nutrient absorption 30-40 min- utes after exercise. Having a source of carbohydrate will ensure energy stores are replaced and protein will help build lean muscle and repair damaged cells. Other key nutrients for demonstration athletes include essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Essential fatty acids help reduce inflammation and repair joints and muscles. Salmon and flaxseeds are good sources of essential fatty acids. Antioxidants help in removing harm- ful byproducts of exercise (free-radicals) from the body and are found in fruits and vegetables. Some post-workout ideas to help ensure the best recovery include yogurt with fruit, seeds or nuts, scrambled egg with veggies and whole grain toast and a smoothie with fruit and a protein source such as nut butter added to it. Remember, it is essential to eat regu- lar meals and snacks, and include pro- tein, whole grains and fruit or vegeta- ble each time.

Clarke Richardson at Notre Dame. Pickering won 51-27 last Thursday. Trojans unbeatable in LOSSA Pickering High will draw No. 1 seed Hamilton St. Mary to open OFSAA BY BRIAN McNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com AJAX — There’s only one better time to face the No. 1 seed and six-time defend- ing provincial champion than the very first game, as the Pickering High School Trojans have been tasked to do at the OFSAA AAA girls’ basketball champion- ships in Toronto on Thursday, Nov. 24. And that time would be the cham- pionship match on Saturday, Nov. 26, which, thanks to the way the schedule is drawn up, is possible, however unlikely. The Trojans, who last week finished off their fourth straight undefeated season in local LOSSA league play, are ranked 11th for the 16-team provincial championships, and will face Hamil- ton’s St. Mary Crusaders in the opening game Thursday at noon. The Crusaders are in the midst of a remarkable dynasty, seeking their sev- enth consecutive OFSAA title, but if ever there’s a good time to play them, it’s in the opener, Pickering coach Mike Gor- densky points out. “If we’re going to play them, I’d rather play them first than second,” said Gor- densky, adding that a loss in the second game would send them to the consola- tion round. “It’ll be good for my girls to play against a team that is that good and see just how good we are.” The Ajax school is plenty good enough in Durham Region play, finishing off another 15-0 senior season with 51-27 win over the J. Clarke Richardson Storm Nov. 17, its fourth LOSSA title in a row and sixth in seven years. Brianna Breedy, the team leader in points, assists and steals, scored 31 points in the final and is being heavily recruited by teams in the United States. Chyvon Thomas, Breanna-Mae Clough and Alyssa Alvis are other key players on the team, which also this year raised more than $5,000 for breast cancer research. If the first games at OFSAA go as expected, the Trojans will need to upset No. 6 seed Holy Cross from Kingston in the second game, with a berth to the championship quarter-finals at stake. “I think we have a chance to make the quarter-finals,” Gordensky said. “I’m actually happy with our draw.” OJHL team meets Cobourg at home Friday The Pickering Panthers have slipped into last place in the OJHL’s North/East Conference at 5-19-0-1 after home-ice losses of 8-5 Friday against St. Michael’s and 4-1 to Kingston Sunday. The Panthers led 5-3 nearing the mid- way mark of Friday’s game, but the Buzzers scored the game’s final five goals to win handily. Davis Kuksis, Ste- ven Elliott, Mitchell DeGray, Andrew Poulias and Joseph Franzin scored the Pickering goals. Kuksis scored again Sunday, cutting into a 3-0 Kingston lead in the third peri- od, but an empty-net goal sealed the deal. The Panthers are in Kingston (11-6-2-4) Thursday and Burlington (15-6-3-0) Sat- urday, with a home date against Cobourg (18-6-0-1) sandwiched in between at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Pickering Panthers drop into last place Nice NHL debut for Caggiula EDMONTON — Pickering’s Drake Cag- giula is off to a nice, if belated, start to his National Hockey League career. The 22-year-old centre earned an assist on Tyler Pitlick’s goal 11:36 into his first game with the Edmonton Oilers Saturday, contributing to a 5-2 win over the Dallas Stars. Caggiula signed as a free agent with the Oilers, but missed the first 18 games with a hip injury suffered in the pre-sea- son. He also picked up an assist Monday in a 5-0 win over Chicago. 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 2 4 , 2 0 1 6 34 AP TRAIN FOR A CAREER IN HEALTHCARE triOS College has partnered with We Care Home Health Services to offer our Personal Support Worker graduates $250 in employment incentives!
