LIFE IN THE SLOW LANE No Durham community untouched from large volume of road work Keith Gilligan KGilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — If it seems there’s more con- struction work going on this summer, you’re right. According to Dan Waechter, the construction manager for Durham Region, “Our construction project is about 20 per cent larger than last year.” And, tenders are still going out for other proj- ects, so it’s growing, he added. “In the 14 years I’ve been the construction manager, this is the biggest program we’ve ever had,” Waechter said. Construction work includes transit work, putting in bus rapid transit lanes in Ajax and Pickering, sewer and water works, along with construction at various plants. The region received funding from the federal government’s Clean Water Waste Water Fund, he added. There’s also federal and provincial funding for bus rapid transit projects and “there’s more coming next year.” With all the rainy weather this construction season, “it’s fair to say” bus rapid transit work is behind schedule, he said. On project affected is on Victoria Street in Whitby, where the road is being widened. A planned culvert installation over the July 29 and 30 weekend was cancelled due to high water lev- els. Now, the work is planned for the Civic Day weekend, he noted. “Any closure causes difficulty. If we ran over into a work day, the impact would be far worse. With a long weekend, there’s least negative impact,” Waechter said. Also affecting work was a strike by Liuna 183 workers and “that impacted a couple of contrac- tors. “We’re still hoping to complete all our proj- ects by the end of the year, despite these difficul- ties,” Waechter said. Durham tries to lessen the impact of the proj- ects by staging them “so they don’t impact an area too heavily,” he noted. • See page 10 for east-west construction projects in Durham Page 6 - Today’s editorial 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 2 0 1 7 2 P auto service specials Expires August 10, 2017 LIMITED TIME OFFER! when you spend $200 or more storewide EQUALMONTHLYPAYMENTSwhen you spend $200 or more storewide 12 NO FEE NO INTEREST FINANCING * APPLY TODAY!

The last tenant of the home, which sits on expropriated land that's transferred owner- ship several times, was Joyce Anna Scott. After her death in May, the conservation author- ity offered a continued lease agreement to her family - but if they don't want to become rental tenants, they have to leave the house by Sept. 1. Now, Scott's daughters are picking up their mother's crusade to repurchase the house and they'll make a presentation to the conser- vation authority next week. In response, the conservation authority will launch an investigation, associate direc- tor Rick Sikorski said. But decisions aren't theirs alone. "From TRCA's perspective, the property in question is TRCA owned," Sikorski said. But the conservation authority is bound by other contracts. When the land was transferred to them in 2004 as part of a "land holding agreement," the province retained an option to purchase and a first right of refusal, or exclusive rights to enter business agreements before a third party. "Even though we own it, we are not free to do whatever we want with it," Sikorski said. In 2012, the land's ownership became even more complex. The property was included within the boundaries of the proposed Rouge National Urban Park. According to a memo- randum of agreement on the project, land included within the park's boundaries would be transferred to the federal government. To allow the family to repurchase the land, the conservation authority has to consult each of the stakeholders in that tangled pro- cess. "That's sort of the big-picture background in terms of that property," Sikorski said. The house in question sits on the town line between Pickering and Scarborough. It was first expropriated by the provincial gov- ernment in the '70s in support of a simulta- neous federal expropriation for the proposed Pickering airport, transferred to the Ontario Land Corporation and later to the conserva- tion authority. Laura Alderson and Melissa Preston grew up on the four-hectare property, which their parents rented out post-expropriation. Since the '80s, the couple had made inquiries into repurchasing their home to no avail. Mary Delaney, the chair of the Land Over Landings advocacy group, said that while dealing with federally expropriated lands can be messy, dealing with lands that have been transferred between political bodies is even worse. "They're dealing with lawyers at every level of government," she said. While Land Over Landings now primarily communicates with Transport Canada, the Scotts' home has jostled between provincial, municipal and federal jurisdictions - each with their own spokespeople. The meeting between the sisters and con- servation authority executive committee is slated for Aug. 11 and a staff recommenda- tion will be presented back to the committee at a later date. "There is no designated timeline for staff review and submission of recommenda- tions," Sikorski added later in an email. Sikorski was unable to comment on why renting out the home was more compatible with the government's plan than indepen- dent ownership. -- Torstar News Service Tangled Pickering airport land deal probed Toronto Star photo PICKERING -- After the death of their parents, Melissa Preston, front, and Kate Collver are attempting to appeal to the government and regain ownership of the expropri- ated property where they grew up. The 10-acre farm in Pickering was expropriated to make way for a Pickering airport decades ago that was never built. Their parents have recently passed away but the fight continues. 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 2 0 1 7 3 AP 401 Reynolds Street, Whitby, ON Tel.: 905.668.3358 trafalgarcastle.ca GRADE 4------------------------------------ STARTING SEPTEMBER2018 Visit our Open House on Saturday, November 4 10 a.m.to noon or email admissions@trafalgarcastle.ca to arrange your own personal visit. 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 2 0 1 7 4 AP info@careachc.ca • www.careachc.ca Call Carea Community Health Centre (Ajax Site) for more information -905.428.1212 COLOURS: LGBTQ Youth Group (13-20 years old) Check out this safe and social drop in!Thursdays: 6:30pm-7:45pm •Carea CHC’s Ajax Site: 360 Bayly Street West, Unit 5 Pickering Library Youth Drop-In (13-19 years old) Learn about local services including Carea CHC’s and the library.

Toronto and Region Conservation recently announced the top 20 energy-per- forming school boards in the province, as part of the 2017 Sustainable Schools report. The DDSB claimed the top spot, up from a seventh place ranking in 2016. “We constantly look at ways to make our buildings more efficient,” says Shawn O’Brien, manager of energy and mechan- ical design and mechanical maintenance for the DDSB. For example, he says about 50 per cent of DDSB schools are now outfitted with real-time energy monitoring, allowing offi- cials to monitor consumption, compare schools and find efficiencies. Other DDSB initiatives include upgrades to lighting, mechanical systems and boiler plants; training custodians in energy efficient practices; and getting stu- dents involved in energy conservation. “The children are the future and with our teachings we can create custodians of energy,” O’Brien says, noting some stu- dents now help monitor energy consump- tion at their schools. “They see that if they turn out the lights at lunch, there is a reduction. It’s a good way to learn.” The DDSB also has more than 70 schools certified through the Eco Schools program, which focuses on energy conser- vation, waste reduction, greening school grounds and teaching “ecological literacy.” The Sustainable Schools report analy- ses energy use and building information for Ontario’s 5,000 schools and school board administration buildings. Energy targets are set for each building and energy savings potential is determined based on the different between actual energy use, and the target. The top 20 boards with the least sav- ings potential are recognized in the annual report. The DDSB has 135 buildings and a total energy savings potential of 12.6 per cent. The total energy savings potential across all boards is 29.8 per cent, which is worth more than $70 million annually at 2015 utility rates. Across all of Ontario’s boards, 41 per cent of buildings — 1,987 facilities — have annual utility cost savings potential of $10,000 or more. The DDSB wasn’t the only local school board to do well in this year’s report. The Peterborough Victoria Northum- berland and Clarington Catholic District School Board — which includes Catholic schools in Clarington — ranked third. That board has 35 buildings and a total savings potential of 12.8 per cent. Lean and green: Durham District School Board named most energy efficient in Ontario Jason Liebregts / Metroland BROOKLIN — The Durham District School Board recently ranked No. 1 in the 2017 Top Energy Performing School Boards Report by the Toronto & Region Conservation Authority. Shawn O’Brien is the manager of energy and mechanical design and mechanical maintenance at the board and highlighted some of the energy initia- tives at Brooklin High School. 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 2 0 1 7 5 AP For comments or concerns visit: www.ajaxrotary.org For more information on Pickering Ribfest 2018 visit: www.pickeringribfest.com Please be advised that the Ajax Ribfest held this past weekend in Ajax WAS IN NO WAY affiliated with the Rotary Clubs of Ajax or Pickering.

He made a point of stating that, as it was his birth- day, he did, in fact, want presents. But, he didn’t want anyone to have to go out and spend a lot of money. What he asked was that each of us present him with a cassette (yes, I said cassette … those of you who were around during the late Pleistocene era may remem- ber that particular media) of music that we thought, for some reason, he should listen to. It was a marvellous idea. In the space of one party, his musical library was doubled in wild- ly esoteric ways. I loved the concept so much that for my 50th I asked my guests to bring me a used copy of a book they thought I should read. I took it one step further and asked that as I unwrapped their book, the gift-giver then extrapolate to the whole party why this par- ticular tome was important to them and why I should read it. The experience was good fun and also surprisingly informative. You learn a lot about people from the books they read. Some people feel that sneak- ing a peak in a friend’s medicine cabinet is the key to really getting to know them. Not me. For me, it’s their bookshelf. That literally speaks volumes about them. I have an imme- diate kinship with people who love to read. It’s one of the things that brought Kathryn and I together and something we still share on a daily basis. Our reading time. It’s precious. But, I also love talking about books and I find sending a friend home with one or two favourite books from my library almost as much fun as buying them in the first place. I’m always eager to see if the book had the same or as much of an impact on them as it did on me, and why? Personal libraries, in my opin- ion, should be like public libraries. Our books need to be circulated and shared. A loved book, like a favourite recipe, should never be horded, but paid forward again and again and again. I have several friends whose houses I love visiting because I know when I leave I will be laden with an armload of new ‘must-read’ books; books that have been given freely, joy- fully, and with no thought whatsoever of a ‘return date’. Books that have been given with love. It’s no coincidence that those friendships are also my fondest and strongest. I used to have stickers that I would place in my books that said ‘Ex Libris Neil Crone’. Roughly translated, it means ‘From the books of Neil Crone’ and I originally used them to make sure I got back the editions that I loaned out. That seems small to me now. Now, I would amend it to read ‘With love from the books of Neil Crone’. — Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column With love from the books of Neil Crone neil crone Enter Laughing This has been a summer of road con- struction like no other in recent memory in Durham Region. Everywhere you look and just about everywhere you go in Durham this sum- mer, roads are under siege from massive construction equipment and men and women wearing white and yellow hats. Cement is being poured and the smell of fresh asphalt is palpable. If you’re a commuter — which just about everyone in Durham is — well, as the expression goes, you must ‘hurry up and wait’ to get anywhere in the region these days. Drivers have been forced to re-route, plan for extra time, as well as to infuse themselves with a big dollop of patience to get around the region. Whether it’s making your way to Toronto via Hwy. 401 or just driving around the corner to grab a bag of milk at the grocery store, getting around hasn’t been an easy proposition of late. The widening, paving, and reconstruc- tion work across the region is, yes, a sign of progress, but certainly it is a sign of grow- ing pains too as more must be poured into road construction to move the ever- increasing population of Durham. If you’re in the west end of the region, there’s the Kingston and Whites roads area, where there is ongoing construction including road widening to accommodate the Pulse bus that carried riders across the region. There’s also road construc- tion along Rossland Road extending from Oshawa all the way to Ajax. If you’re in the eastern portion of Dur- ham, it seems commuters arguably got a much more raw deal, as Hwy. 2 has been torn up with construction this spring and summer. And, that doesn’t bring into focus all the ongoing construction surround- ing the Hwy. 407 east extension that has spilled out on to a number of other ancil- lary roads — many of which are closed to through traffic — within Clarington. There seems to be a disconnect some- where regarding the planning of these various construction projects. It just seems, from a commuting perspective, like every Durham road is under con- struction. Surely, the planners within the region can cobble together a construc- tion schedule that spreads the work out more evenly and doesn’t result in all the gridlock that’s been a fact of life so far this summer in Durham? And, the summer’s not even over yet. All a driver can say is autumn and the end of construction season can’t come soon enough. Durham Region should look to spread out construction work to avoid summer gridlock Trump’s changes make reader thankful she lives in Canada To the editor: I’m so tired of hearing about Donald Trump’s plans and changes for the USA. His latest — no transgender per- sons can serve in the armed forces — really blew my mind away. Why is he being allowed to voice these rac- ist remarks and enforce them? Really who does he think he is? ‘The presi- dent’ you say, and your point is? Thank goodness I live in Canada. We have our issues and problems but surely we are better off than the USA.

These bugs are unique, diverse and beautiful I got a fabulous birthday present last month, some- thing I’d venture to bet few other folks in Durham Region own. But when I told a friend about it, he raced out the very next day and bought one for himself. And now we grin at each other and talk about it every time we meet. The gift came from my hus- band, who’s every bit as curious about the natural world as I am. And every bit as glad to have in the house what he gave me, large and unwieldly though it is. The tome weights 5.2 pounds, which is pretty heavy for a book, but the author needed all 616 pages to do justice to his fasci- nating topic: Flies, the Natural History and Diversity of Dip- tera. Just thumbing past some of the two thousand colour photos illustrating the subject instant- ly impresses you with how unique, diverse and beautiful flies can be. And then the text starts tell- ing stories about them — their unusual life cycles and often radical behaviour — and you can’t put the book down. Yes, some flies bite, pierce, chew, burrow, suck blood and carry disease — the ones we know best. But far more are important pollinators, having appeared on earth 250 million years ago, long before flowering plants, and then evolving together with them. Flies 'taste' sugar with their feet, and lap it up with their mouthparts to fuel their ener- getic flights. “The world’s most significant cleanup crew,” fly larvae help decompose carrion, dung and all other rotting sub- stances around the planet. Aristotle named the order 'di ptera' — Greek for 'two wings' — more than two millennia ago, and since then humans have identified 160,000 differ- ent fly species, with probably two or three times that number still unnamed. “It seems like- ly that at least 15-20 per cent of all animal species are flies,” wrote author Stephan Marshall, an entomology professor at the University of Guelph, who has discovered hundreds of new species himself since he got interested in insects at the age of five. He shares his passion on every page. Nature queries: mcarney@ interlinks.net or 905-725-2116. Margaret Carney is a nature-appreciation columnist for Metroland Durham newspapers.

Tens of thousands of Canadians lose their ability to see each year, but in many cases, vision loss is preventable if eye health issues are detected early on. That’s why regular eye exams are important for everyone. People with good eye health only need to visit their optometrist once every two years, but those who have visually demanding occupations, wear corrective lenses or have health issues such as diabetes or high blood pressure should have their eyes examined every year. Seniors over the age of 60 should also visit an optometrist annually. Healthy eyes throughout the year Besides getting regular eye exams, there are a number of things you can do to keep your eyes at their healthiest. • Eat a balanced diet that includes plenty of leafy greens and other fruits and vegetables. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fi sh like salmon as well as in nuts, are also benefi cial to eye health. • Maintain a healthy weight to reduce your risk of developing diabetes. There is a strong correlation between diabetes and certain eye diseases, including glaucoma. • Wear sunglasses that protect your eyes against harmful UV rays. In many cases, cataracts and other eye health problems can be traced back to retinal overexposure to the sun. • If you wear contact lenses, always wash your hands before putting them in or taking them out, and only store your lenses in fresh solution. These actions will help reduce the likelihood of developing eye infections. • Quit smoking. Tobacco use increases the risk of macular degeneration (a precursor of blindness), cataracts and optic nerve damage, among others. • Wear safety goggles when using power tools and performing any task that involves potential eye hazards. Eye Diseases 101 Many people live with eye disease or eye defects. Some of these conditions have only a minor impact on their lives, while others can lead to ir reversible vision loss. Let’s try to shed some light on this subject. AUGUST You most likely know someone who has myopia, or nearsightedness. No matter the age of the person, he or she struggles to see distant objects clearly and probably has to wear glasses or contact lenses. There are also many people who have hyperopia, or farsightedness. That means their vision is blurry when they focus on near objects. Genetics plays a big role here. Presbyopia is a vision change that often occurs in a person’s middle age. It prevents sufferers from being able to focus in the close-up range. You’ll often see a person with presbyopia extending their arms in order to read a piece of paper or a restaurant menu. Astigmatism is included in the category of focu sing problems. People who have this kind of vi sion defect can clearly see an object they are looking at directly, but their peripheral vision may be blurred. 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 2 0 1 7 14 AP SM Pickering Town Centre 1355 Kingston Road •905-839-4215 Hours: Monday - Friday 10AM - 9PM Saturday - 9:30AM - 6PM • Sunday - 11-5PM Eye Examinations Available We Direct Bill Most Insurances Contact Us:75 Bayly St.W.Phone: 905-683-2020 •Fax: 905-683-5869www.ajaxfamilyeyecare.com •ajaxfamilyeyecare@gmail.com Services: •Comprehensive eye exams forChildren,Adults andSeniors •Glasses,Contacts,Sunglasses •DigitalRetinal Imaging •GlaucomaTesting •Diabetic Eye Exams •LASIK Consults/Co-managing Contact Us:75 Bayly St.W., Ajax, OntarioPhone: 905-683-2020•Fax: 905-683-5869www.ajaxfamilyeyecare.com•ajaxfamilyeyecare@gmail.com We DirectBill MostInsurances Pickering Town Center 1355 Kingston Rd.Pickering,ON L1V 1B8 905-492-3368 TOFFEY OPTICAL OPTICIAN’S HOURS SUNDAY CLOSEDMONDAY-TUESDAY 10:00AM - 9:00PM FRIDAY 7:00PM - 9:00PMSATURDAYS ALTERNATE WEEK ONE 4:00PM - 6:00PMWEEK TWO 9:30AM - 6:00PM FITTING & MEASUREMENTS,ADJUSTMENTS &REPAIRS ARE BY OPTICIAN ONLY.

Combining the right foods with an efficient training routine can help you manage weight while exercising. Follow these tips if you are trying to manage your weight while maintaining your activity: • Eat on time: Eat breakfast, lunch, din- ner and snacks at about the same time each day. Never skip meals, as this may promote hunger and lead to poor food choices and overeating. • Keep diet varied: A variety of foods is important to a healthy diet and peak per- formance. Include dairy or other calcium- rich foods, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein foods in each meal. Load half your plate with fruits and veggies. • Limit fat: Avoid deep fried foods and high fat snack foods. These foods tend to be low in overall nutrition and high in sodium. Use small amounts of heart- healthy fats, in and after cooking. Olive oil, canola oil, avocado and nuts and seeds are healthy options for fat. • Avoid drinking calories: Cut out sug- ar-sweetened beverages such as juice, soft drinks, flavoured coffees and fruit punch- es. Make water your primary beverage. Flavour it with lemon, frozen fruit or mint. • Snack smart: Plan for two to three snacks daily and bring them with you. This decreases the need for drive-thru and vending machine runs. Healthy snack options include an apple and peanut but- ter, Greek yogurt with fruit, whole grain cereal and low-fat milk, raw vegetables and cheese or hummus. • Eat slowly and watch portion sizes: The brain needs about 20 minutes to get the signal that you have eaten. Pace your eating, to eat slower — you may find that you eat less. • Pay attention to why you are eating: Eating out of boredom, stress or fatigue can increase energy intake. Pause before you eat and assess if you are hungry or not. If not, try to find other ways to manage emotions, without using food. • Be patient and persistent. Avoid weighing yourself. Changes in hydration status, glycogen storage, menstrual cycle patterns and bowel movements can result in different numbers on the scale. Let your body and appetite guide you. Focus on health and performance, not numbers. Andrea Miller is a consulting registered dietician who emphasizes that healthy eating should be good, nourishing and delicious. Contact her at 905-233-2437, e-mail andream@live.ca; website www.amillerrd.ca Josh Argier acquired in trade with Stouffville Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com PICKERING — The Pickering Pan- thers hope they have found the front- line centre they so covet. The Panthers have acquired 19-year- old Whitby native Josh Argier from the Stouffville Spirit in exchange for defenceman Quintin Wheeler, a move that was made official by the Ontario Junior Hockey league club on Monday. Argier, listed at five-foot-eight and 178 pounds, led the Spirit with 49 points in 54 games last season, including 17 goals. “He’s pretty much the first line cen- tre man that we’ve been looking for, so it’s a big move for us, acquiring a kid like that,” said David Demarinis, head coach and general manager of the Panthers. “I’m really excited about that.” Wheeler is a five-foot-10, 165-pound blueliner who had three points and 90 penalty minutes in 49 games. Demarinis said he was reluctant to part with Wheeler, but felt the team’s need for scoring called for it. “To get something good, you’ve got to give up something good, so hope- fully it’s a good hockey deal for both teams,” he said. “We had some depth on the back end that we could move out to acquire a piece like Josh.” A busy off-season has seen the Pan- thers add defencemen Joshua Jones, Gregory Arnburg, Nathan Porter and Mitchell Doyle, the latter two being Ontario Hockey League (OHL) draft picks, to join returnees Joseph Franzin and Matt Hunter. They will be protecting a young goal- tending duo of Ethan Langevin and Adam Wisco, who are close friends and training partners, but without any expe- rience in the league. Langevin, 16, was drafted in the sixth round of the 2017 OHL draft by the Sarnia Sting. Up front, Argier and newcomers Riley Girard and Stefano Palatsidis will be added to a group that has nine return- ees from last season, including Steven Elliott, who had 33 points in 35 games with the Panthers last season after being acquired from the Whitby Fury. “We’re pretty close to shaping up to where we want to be,” said Demarinis. “We’re looking to tinker a little it, one or two more moves here or there before training camp.” The team will begin training camp Aug. 21 in Ajax and spend two weeks there before the ice goes in at their home rink at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The Panthers will play home-and- home exhibition games against Lindsay and Aurora before opening the regular season on Friday, Sept. 8 in Markham. The regular season home opener is Friday, Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m. against Stouffville. “We feel the team has improved a lot. I think we have a lot to be excited about, but we’re still relatively young, so there’s going to be some growing pains,” said Demarinis, whose club finished in last place in the conference last season at 9-42-1-2. “We’re hoping to make a big push this year and playoffs is always a goal for every team, and that’s no differ- ent for us.” Panthers add first-line centre Photo by Mike DiCarlo / OJHL Images STOUFFVILLE -- The Pickering Panthers acquired centre Josh Argier from the Stouffville Spirit in exchange for defenceman Quintin Wheeler. WHITBY — It’s that time of the year again where lacrosse takes over Dur- ham Region, as the 14th annual Ontar- io Lacrosse Festival draws more than 500 teams and 10,000 players to arenas in Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering and Clarington Aug. 4 to 13. Among the 44 championships that will be decided, two will crown nation- al champions, as provincial teams battle for supremacy in the peewee and midg- et boys’ box lacrosse divisions. Ontario is the defending champion in both. Among the many teams competing for provincial championships, Whitby will have a total of 13 at the tournament, including the No. 1 ranked intermedi- ate A squad looking to defend its title from a year ago. The intermediate War- riors will enter the tournament with a remarkable 27-0-0 record and goal dif- ferential of 203-49. Whitby will also have three highly- ranked girls’ teams, including No. 2 in both the peewee and bantam divisions, which they won a year ago, and No. 4 in midget. Clarington will floor a total of 10 teams, including the No. 4 ranked girls’ inter- mediate squad, while Oshawa will send nine, West Durham six and Uxbridge two. The largest youth lacrosse event in North America will use the Iroquois Park Sports Centre as its base, but also include the McKinney Centre and Luther Vipond Arena in Whitby, Legends Cen- tre in Oshawa, Garnet Rickard Recreation Complex and Darlington Sports Centre in Clarington, Ajax Community Centre, and Don Beer Arena in Pickering.

Against a very strong 5 Tool Base- ball under-15 team in the final game at Theunissen Stadium of Central Michigan University, the Spartans came away with a 2-1 final victory. Ajax started off slow in the first game of the round robin, falling behind 7-1 against last year's winners, the Capital City Kings, but things started to turn around by the fourth inning. A couple of timely hits, excellent defence and solid pitching brought the team back to 7-4 going into the bottom of the seventh, where they stole the game on a pair of two-RBI hits, from Kai Hoek and Landon Bentley. Riding the momentum from the walk- off win, the Spartans then defeated the Phantom Baseball Team 8-0. Michael Asselin and Max Fraser-Stewart combined for a one-hit shutout, striking out five and walking two. Meeting the 5 Tool team for the first time, Ajax’s Colby Anderson and the opposing pitcher both went the distance in a 2-1 loss for the Spartans. In the playoffs, the Spartans again met up with the Phantom team, and this time put up a 10-run, bat-around first inning en route to a 15-2 win. The 5 Tool team managed to get past the undefeated Detroit Crush team to meet Ajax in the final, which was anoth- er pitchers' duel. Landon Bentley pitch- ing a gem for five innings, walking just one while striking out six, before Mitch Ireland pitched two clean innings for the save. Defensively, catcher Ethan Boisvert and centrefielder Jorgen Groves were superb, while Charlie Luukkonen continued to swing a hot bat, going two-for-two. Trailing 1-0, Bentley led off the fifth inning with a single to right, Cam Noble walked and Wyatt Groves advanced the runners long fly ball to centre. Bentley took advantage of a throwing error by the opposing shortstop to score the first run, and Noble scored what proved to be the winning run on a ground out by Cameron Lugtenburg.

The two were among 22 selected Tues- day by Hockey Canada following a five-day national men’s summer under-18 team selection camp in Calgary. Both also represented their country at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, while Dellandrea played as an underage for Canada at the 2017 IIHF U18 World Championship in Slovakia in April. “As a best-on-best tournament, the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup allows us to show- case the very best Canadian talent in this age group,” said head coach Brent Kisio in a press release. “We are ready to make Canadians proud with how we represent them on and off the ice.” Noel, a second-round draft pick of the Generals in 2016, scored eight goals and added 13 assists for 21 points in 63 games as a rookie last season. Teammate Allan McShane, who had 44 points in his rookie campaign split between with the Erie Otters and Generals, was also at the camp, but was hampered by an injury and was not selected. Dellandrea, the first-round, fifth over- all pick of the Firebirds in 2016, set team records for most goals (13) and points (24) by a rookie last season. Canada has won gold 20 times in 25 years of summer under-18 competition and will play in Group B this year with Fin- land, Russia, and Slovakia. Group A con- sists of the Czech Republic, Sweden, Swit- zerland, and the United States. Beginning next year, the Hlinka tourna- ment will come to Canada on a bi-annual basis and be held in Edmonton 2018, 2020 and 2022. 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 2 0 1 7 18 AP Financing Available www.adornhomeimprovements.ca 905-665-9565119ConsumersDrive,Whitby To all our valued customers-we have been experiencing phone issues withour new system.We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

What is a fascinator? Even though you may have never heard of a fascinator, you’ve likely seen one. Many people refer to them as the“fancy hats”worn by the royal family. But a fascinator is not actually a hat; it’s a decorative headpiece that can consist of flowers, feathers, beads, veils and more that are attached to a headband,comb or hair clip. Fascinators are quite commonly worn in Britain, and are often worn to formal events such as weddings, cocktail parties, art openings, garden or tea parties, and, of course,the Kentucky Derby. While it’s a fun accessory that can add a‘wow’factortoyouroutfit,thereare‘right’ways to wear a fascinator.Typically a fascinator is worn on the right side of the head, on theside or towards the front. A fascinator canalso be worn on the back of the head aspart of your hairstyle, including updos andother formal styles.It’s best to keep your hairsimple to let your fascinator shine.First-timersmay want to keep the fascinator small, but be sure to keep it proportion to your head and hair. Be sure to be polite when wearing a fascinator and be mindful that people behind you likely won’t be able to seethrough it! Hey Ladies!

Call me by my oldfamiliar name, speak of me in thesame easy way you always did.Laugh, as we always laughed at thelittle jokes we shared together.Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.Let my name be the household wordit always was; spoken without the shadowof a ghost in it. Life means all it ever meant.It is the same as it ever was;there is absolutely unbroken continuity.Why should I be out of your mindbecause I am out of sight?I am but waiting for you, for an interval,somewhere very near, just around the corner.All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost.One brief moment and all will be as it was before - only better, happier and forever –we will be together with Christ. You have never been forgotten.Love Brenda (“Mouse”),Shannon and Devon GUERNSEY, Robert Keith - Passed away suddenly at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville on August 2, 2017 in his 75th year.

Survey says: the arts make life better DURHAM — An Ontario Arts Council study, undertaken by Nanos Research, shows Ontarians highly value the impact the arts have on their quality of life. Based on a random survey of 1,004 people, the report, Impressions of the Impact of the Arts on Quality of Life and Well-Being in Ontario, reveals that no matter where they live, if they are men or women or young or old, most Ontario residents have positive views about the arts. The survey highlights include: • 93 per cent of Ontario residents agree that arts activities improve our quality of life; • 91 per cent of Ontarians agree that the arts help us to better understand other cultures; • 88 per cent agree that taking part in arts activities creates a shared sense of community identity; • 90 per cent agree that a vibrant local arts scene helps make a more livable community; • 97 per cent agree that getting children involved in the arts is important to their overall development; • 80 per cent of Ontario residents agree that a busy local arts scene helps towns and cities attract businesses. 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 • Au g u s t 3 , 2 0 1 7 24 P “We have done countless quote searches and they alwayscome up quickly and accurately.” Compare car insurance quotes and save.$1.8 million in premiums saved this year and counting.
