Pickering is embarking on a project with several partners to enhance the tree canopy of Altona Forest. Ajax and Pickering benefit from environmental funding from province Altona Forest and shores of Lake Ontario get a boost from Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund Kristen Calis KCalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Some Ajax and Pickering environmental features are flourishing thanks to recent funding from the provincial gov- ernment. The City of Pickering has received $5,470 from the Prov- ince of Ontario through the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund, which will be used for hab- itat enhancements on city-owned land that buffers Altona Forest. The 2,241 square-metre site is located at the south end of Altona Forest adjacent to Autumn Cres- cent and surrounds a stormwater management pond. Partnerships with local orga- nizations and schools, as well as successful funding applications, keep the 53-hectare park in the middle of Pickering healthy.

CINDY, SURVIVOR,AND HER DAUGHTER Lakeview Park |Oshawa, ON PICKERING — A man injured in a two- car crash Friday morning in Pickering has died, police said. The collision happened at about 6:40 a.m. on Sept. 1, at the intersection of Rouge- mount Drive and Kingston Road. Police said a grey Mazda 3 was east- bound on Kingston Road when it collided with a gold Acura 3.2, which was south- bound on Rougemount Drive. The driver of the Mazda, a 22-year-old Pickering man, was rushed to a trauma centre after being extricated from his vehicle, Durham police said. The 69-year-old driver of the Acura was treated for minor injuries. Police said Monday morning the Pickering man had died. His name was not released. The roads were closed until about 1 p.m. on Friday while police investigated. Police have not said whether charges will be laid in connection with the incident. Anyone with information or who wit- nessed this collision is asked to call police at 905-579-1520 ext. 5226.

The project, which is being done in part- nership with the Altona Forest stewardship committee, the Toronto and Region Conser- vation (TRCA) and St. Elizabeth Seton Cath- olic School, will enhance the tree canopy in that small area buffering the forest. A total of 150 trees, including white oak, silver maple, spruce and willows, and fruit berry shrubs will be planted in recognition of Ontario and Canada’s 150th anniversary. Eight habi- tat boxes for a variety of song birds, bats, and owls will be installed, as well as an education- al interpretive sign. “Without the government’s money we would pretty well be stopped at the things we could do,” said Larry Noonan, chair of the stewardship committee. He noted many partnerships also help maintain the forest, which provides essen- tial habitat for a large number of plants and animals which include, foxes, coyotes, hawks and rare amphibians, migratory birds and song birds. “It’s a haven for birds in here,” said Noon- an. “It’s beautiful.” The city, the TRCA, TD Friends of the Environment and local schools often help out either with finances or through volunteering. Noonan says it’s important that young people get involved in their local environ- ment, and Altona Forest being near several schools gives them that opportunity. “If you give them a hand in saving, clean- ing or creating a new area, you give them a sense of ownership,” he said. “It spreads out like a wave in a pond (from) throwing a stone.” This work compliments another commu- nity enhancement project that is taking place just further north through the city’s Celebrat- ing Sustainable Neighbourhoods program, which is being spearheaded by the Altona Forest stewardship committee, after it won up to $10,000 from the city for the project. This project includes planting seven native trees, and installing an access walk- way, a bench, a butterfly garden and lighting. “This fall both of these areas will be com- plete, which will be an incredible enhance- ment to the forest,” said Whitaker. Also from the Great Lakes Guardian fund, $25,000 went to A Greener Future, which is undertaking a larger-scale cleanup of the north shores of Lake Ontario and getting local residents involved and educating them on the impacts of litter found. Litter cleanup events took place this spring and summer in 100 locations along Lake Ontario from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Kingston. Locations in Durham includ- ed Rotary Park, Pickering Beach Park, Lions Point Park and Ajax Waterfront Lakeside Park in Ajax, two parks in Oshawa, three in Whitby and three in Pickering. Some of the interest- ing items found in Durham include heart monitor patches, a measuring scoop, a pill box, a flip phone and a bag of garbage from the 1960s or 1970s. “I would like to acknowledge this year’s Great Lakes guardians who are working hard to protect our community’s water qual- ity, wetlands and beaches. These local proj- ects, in particular in my riding of Ajax and Pickering, are restoring and enhancing our corner of the Great Lakes to keep them drink- able, swimmable and fishable for everyone to enjoy,” said Ajax-Pickering MPP Joe Dickson. The Love Your Lake project will continue next year, and A Greener Future is looking for volunteers from local organizations and schools, for example, for next year’s cleanups. “It’s important for people to know that picking up litter, it might not seem like some- thing that’s important, but in the long run it’s so important because it’s about our health and our safety. We find a lot of syringes and toxic stuff. We want to make sure we’re keep- ing our soil and water healthy,” said executive director and founder Rochelle Archibald. The group also hosts the Butt Blitz, an event that aims to remove as much ciga- rette butt litter as possible from the environ- ment across Canada. “I think getting peo- ple out in their communities to help is kind of like the first step. It’s not even a hard thing to do. It’s simple. After you do a cleanup, you feel really good about yourself.” To get involved in the next Love Your Lake cleanup kicking off in May 2018, is to visit www.agreenerfuture.ca and sign up for the newsletter.

The No Hate Peaceful Rally came in the wake of protests in Charlottesville, Virginia where white supremacists held a rally and were met by counter protest- ers. Whitby resident Ashley Marshall spoke to the crowd of about 100 peo- ple in Oshawa and said that while the majority of the people in attendance were white, she appreciated that they attended the event to listen and to show community and solidarity. “The reason we have to have a no hate rally is because white supremacy does exist, it poses a threat to any marginal- ized community, Black, Jewish, gay,” she said. “All these marginalities are under threat by a white supremacist ideolo- gy which is going unnoticed or is being complicity supported by a (Donald) Trump presidency which says there’s violence on both sides, there’s good people on both sides rather than calling white supremacy on what it is.” Marshall said she didn’t want white people to shy away from discussing white supremacy. “I wanted this audience to feel that even by just showing up, they are empowering a message of freedom, hope and justice and I wanted to say thank you for that,” she said “I feel safer as a member of the Black community that I know there are white people who are lis- tening, there are people who are willing to disrupt their comfort zones and be visible and to help and that I think is a powerful thing.” Sawyer Arnold spoke about discrim- ination faced by the trans community including stigma and hate speech. Arnold equated the rise of Donald Trump to a rise in hate. “Having a public figure spew hate speech and discrimination leads the public to follow his example." Oshawa's Jemelia Allen-Brown shared her personal story of being racially pro- filed and followed in stores. “I’ve been told by my mom it’s going to happen, but it’s not something I should be like 'OK, yeah it’s going to happen,' it shouldn’t be happening,” she said following the rally. Attendees at the rally participated in the Grievance Box Project which is an online and in-person opportunity for people to share the challenges they face on a daily basis. Allen-Brown challenged Mayor John Henry to hold a town-hall meeting so people can speak up about their experi- ences and the mayor, who attended the rally, agreed in front of the crowd. “We’re forcing them to talk about this issue because it’s one thing to say yes I understand, it’s another thing to do something about it to take action on the issues, so getting a yes from the mayor is a huge thing, especially in such a pub- lic place,” said Allen-Brown. “We had a pretty good turnout today, but I’m hop- ing for more people to come to this town hall meeting to share their experience.” Oshawa’s Ali Naqvi also had a chal- lenge for the attendees. He’s asking people to rally at the Durham Region courthouse when the Toronto police officer who is charged in the beating of Whitby teen Dafonte Mill- er makes a court appearance. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU), a police oversight agency, has charged Michael Theriault, a Toronto police offi- cer, and his brother Christian Theriault in the assault of the 19-year-old man with a metal pipe in December. The beating occurred in Durham, but neither Durham police nor Toronto police reported the incident to the SIU. Instead, the police oversight organiza- tion was contacted by Miller’s lawyer. “A bunch of us got together and real- ized there wasn’t a community response to the Dafonte Miller case, we saw lots of folks in Toronto doing a response and we’re like what can we in our communi- ty do,” said Naqvi. “This is a case where there’s two police services that are tak- ing zero accountability, and we feel like if there’s pressure coming from Toronto there also needs to be pressure here.” Naqvi said the plan is to hold rallies outside the courthouse whenever the case is before the courts. “This is a milestone case and report- ing will happen on it and what we can do is show the community response in that moment.” For more information about the Grievance Box Project, visit grievance- boxproject.ca.

Reality is sinking in — my eldest child is heading to university this week. As a parent and a university profes- sor who researches student success at university, I’m seeing everything in a new light. Hopefully, we parents and teachers have prepared our kids to be ready for the indepen- dence and resilience needed for life at univer- sity. Here are some tips for success: 1. Choose a program that you love. Often, parents “encourage” their kids to choose a program that appears to have a direct path to a job — whether or not their child is inter- ested in it. While being employable is impor- tant, not everyone can be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, or accountant. Many employers want so-called “soft” transferable skills gained through studies in the social sciences and humanities, volunteer work, internships, stu- dent clubs, and so on. (Parents, don’t worry if your child changes programs in first year; between 50 and 70 per cent of students will do so.) 2. Attend September orientation. Here, you will meet others who are getting to know university life or are in your program, so there may be at least one familiar face in your class- es. 3. Become part of the university commu- nity. Large universities can be overwhelming; find a smaller community by joining a club or, if you can afford it, living in residence for at least one year. Don’t just attend class and leave — stop by the student centre, meet peo- ple, and get to know what’s going on. 4. Go to class. You will be more success- ful by going to class regularly. Every time you skip, it becomes easier to do so. In a 13-week term, missing even one class means you’ve missed a lot. (If money motivates you, calcu- late your cost per class!) Treat your classes like a full-time job you are paying to do. 5. Be engaged. Sit near the front of the lec- ture hall, take notes, ask questions, participate in discussions, and get to know others in your class. Listen, learn, and avoid distractions: turn off your cellphone/Facebook/Snapchat/ Instagram/video game/Candy Crush …. 6. Be open to new ideas. University is about more than simply being trained for a job. It is a unique time of life where you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in new ideas. Maybe you won’t love everything you must do, but sometimes we learn more from things that make us uncomfortable or that we don’t yet know that we need to know. — Alyson E. King, PhD, leads a team of researchers from across Canada who are conducting research on what successful university students from all backgrounds say they do to be successful. This research is funded by a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant. Alyson E. King Guest columnist Column Best use for farmland is farming To the editor: Re: ‘Recouping Canada’s $150-million investment’, column, Aug. 23 It is outrageous to think that some people still think an airport in Pickering is needed. The best use for Class A farmland is — you guessed it — FARMING! Restor- ing the agriculture-based communities (like Brougham) is better economically, socially, culturally and environmentally. No airport ... no way! Shame on Dave Ryan for his out-of-date thinking and dis- respect for the need for food and water security for his constituents.

This weekend marks the 50th anniversary homecoming celebrations for the Oshawa- based centre for higher learning, as organiz- ers plan to roll out the welcome mat for its more than 80,000 alumni and the communi- ty from Sept. 8 to Sept. 10. The 50-year anniversary of Durham Col- lege is a remarkable achievement, as well as a testament to the vision and hard work of the college’s leadership and staff through the years. From its humble beginnings, the institution has evolved and changed with the times, offering innovative programs that are in step with what industry in Ontario requires. Mostly, though, it has earned an enviable reputation for producing graduates in an array of academic disciplines, who are prepared for the challenges of today’s work- force. The genesis of Durham College was in 1965, when then-education minister Bill Davis introduced legislation to establish col- leges of applied arts and technology across the province in what was, at the time, a new approach to post-secondary education in Ontario. Two years later, with a volunteer board of governors, the college was official- ly launched on Sept. 18, 1967. At that time, it consisted of 16 portable classrooms and 205 students, who studied in courses such as applied arts and business. Fifty years later, Durham College boasts more than 11,000 full-time post-secondary and apprenticeship students, 780 full-time staff and faculty, and about 140 full-time pro- grams. The growth of the college is a reason to celebrate and there is plenty to do through- out the weekend. The celebration includes an interactive exhibit from Colleges Ontario; guest speaker Steve Paikin, host of TVO’s The Agenda; a double-feature outdoor movie screening; varsity versus alumni volleyball, baseball and soccer games; a family day cel- ebration with food trucks, kids’ activities and live music; a Party Through the Decades nos- talgia-filled dance party, with a performance by Colin James; and brunch hosted by Bistro ‘67, Durham College’s full-service, teaching restaurant. Events are open to everyone — some require tickets. For more information, go to www.durhamcollege.ca/50th/homecoming. This weekend represents a chance for Durham College to show off what has been an exceptional 50-year history. Carol Beam, a student and co-chair of the 50th anniversary committee, summed it up best: the celebration is as much about what’s next as what has been. Here’s hoping the next chapter in Dur- ham College’s history will be as exciting and fruitful as the first 50 years.

Macdonald’s name from schools is shameful To the editor: Re: ‘Teachers call for Pickering’s Sir John A. Macdonald P.S. be renamed, saying first PM committed ‘genocide’’, news, Aug. 24 No matter where you enter the histo- ry of Canada, through exploration, poli- tics, business, education or literature — you find that the Scots and their descen- dants have played a leading role. Today, almost 5 million Canadians identify them- selves as Scottish, and their influence is felt throughout the land. Sir John A. Macdonald had his own deep roots in Scotland and early Canada. And ‘they’ want to remove his name from schools for his thoughts and actions in the 19th century? Shame! Thomas Patrick Oshawa Kite flying should be allowed on waterfront To the editor: Re: ‘Kite fliers club grounded in Ajax’, news, Aug. 9 After living in the Town of Ajax for more than 30 years, I thought I had seen it all, but apparently not. Flying a kite in Ajax is forbidden. This small group of people have been coming to the Ajax waterfront for 30 years, because of the vast green space we have, to fly their kites. I have personally rode my bike down to the waterfront because I could see these kites flying from my backyard. These kites are gentle giants. They are all shapes and sizes, and they draw people to the water- front park to watch them. But, apparently Ajax doesn’t want them there. Derek Hannan, manager of bylaw services in Ajax said the “uses along the waterfront are for passive recreation.” What’s more passive than flying a kite? He also said you need a permit to fly them. Are you kidding me? Has this town gotten stupid or what? Derek Hannan also said, “Along our green spaces and parks, you can’t use land for exclusive use.” OK then, let’s stop people from walking or riding their bikes, or practising soccer, or playing catch, or throwing a Frisbee along there — that’s exclusive use. There is a huge amount of green space along the waterfront, that is virtually unused, as you can see from the photos that were in the Ajax News Advertiser. Our tax money pays to keep this green space well manicured. “But don’t use it.” The signs you see as you enter Ajax say, “Ajax By The Lake,” promoting its lush green waterfront. “But don’t use it,” because the town only wants you to look at it. This year’s high water levels have dis- solved many portions of our waterfront. This will happen again and again as our weather patterns change. My suggestion to the Town of Ajax is stop being stupid and let people use the damn thing before it’s gone. Randy Elliott Ajax The facts show Omar Khadr’s Charter Rights were violated To the editor: Re: ‘Reader’s sympathy is waning for Omar Khadr’, letter, Aug. 14 I have to take issue at Edith Hehn-Mur- ray’s letter to the editor. I think it is always a good thing to check facts before rendering judgment. Omar Khadr moved from Canada in 1996 when he was 10-years-old, not 15, to live with his father. A 10- or 15-year-old could not have provided for himself in Canada. A large population of the homeless are youths. In 2002 he was badly injured in a firefight. He was shot twice in the chest by U.S. forc- es and lost the sight in one eye. Despite his injuries, while recovering in Bagram he was tortured by U.S. agents. In October 2002, at 16, he was transferred to Guantanamo Bay. Omar was interrogated by Canadian offi- cials who knew he had been tortured which violated his Charter Rights. Other European countries assisted their citizens in Guanta- namo Bay, Canada did not. In 2010 Omar accepted a deal to leave Guantanamo Bay by pleading guilty at a widely discredited military commission. In 2010 the Supreme Court ruled his Charter Rights were violated in 2003 when the Canadian government knew he was being tortured. Edith informs us she has never seen any signs of torture. Since she was not in Bagram or Guantanamo Bay how could she? The Supreme Court saw the evidence, she did not. They ruled in his favour. They were the right people to make a judgment, not Edith as she did not have the facts or evidence. The Canadian government lost all three court cases. They had to admit fault and set- tle.

The hurricane hit land last weekend, bringing torrential rains and causing large-scale flooding leaving thousands in need of rescue. Bonnie Tytler is the call performance manager at the Oshawa Concentrix location and a General Motors employ- ee. Concentrix employees handle calls for OnStar from offices located on Colonel Sam Boulevard in Oshawa. Tytler said the American Red Cross reached out on Thurs- day, Aug. 24 to ask about OnStar workers fielding overflow calls for the organization. “By Friday we had our advisers up and running and han- dling by 2 p.m.,” she said. Tytler explained about 150 staff at the Oshawa location have been trained so far to field calls for the Red Cross and have been doing so for the past week. “We’re helping citizens of Texas and Louisiana evacuate their facilities, find shelters, locate their loved ones, in some cases provide emergency services,” she said. That includes a team trained specifically in medi- cal response who provide medical instructions until first responders arrive if, for example, someone is having a seizure or has gone into diabetic shock. Oshawa employees are also working with the coast guard to send aid to stranded residents. “Situations are horrible, some people are stranded, they’re in water up to their chests, some of them haven’t had food or water for days, there’s quite a few calls that involve fam- ily members, children, infants, pets as well,” said Tytler, add- ing that in some cases people have run out of medication and need help finding a pharmacy or a shelter with space. Infor- mation is updated in real time through the American Red Cross and Concentrix employees in Oshawa relay it to callers. Employees have been offered unlimited overtime during this emergency period and there is on-site support to help employees who have fielded emotional calls. “They’re helping but in some cases they feel helpless. We’re taking down infor- mation, giving them directions and trying to get rescue out to them and then, unfortunately, we have to move on to the next call … we’ve had some calls last five hours in length waiting to have someone get out to them,” said Tytler. While flood waters have started receding in some areas, they rose again after levees were released. Tytler also pointed out that areas had to be evacuated due to explosions at a Texas chemical plant. Some residents call for help through GM’s OnStar system if cellphones are lost or damaged or simply out of power. When there’s an emergency, the company initiates its crisis response program. In the past, that has included responding to hurri- cane Sandy in the United States. “We did it in Canada around the Fort McMurray wildfires and most recently the fires in B.C.,” said George Saratlic, lead manager for product, brand and technology communications for GM Canada. It’s because of that expertise that OnStar workers were asked to field calls for the American Red Cross. “It speaks to the work our team does all year 'round and the training they get from a crisis response standpoint,” he said. Durham Region OnStar workers on the linefor Texas, Louisiana hurricane emergency Ron Pietroniro / Metroland OSHAWA — Workers at the Concentrix call centre in Oshawa are putting in overtime hours to help victims of Hurricane Harvey and ensuing floods in Texas and Louisiana. The employees, who work on the OnStar program, are responding to emergency calls that come in through OnStar as well as overflow calls for the American Red Cross. They’re helping stranded victims contact emergency responders like the coast guard and helping people find shelter and loved ones. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 6 , 2 0 1 7 9 AP Seaton Community Class Environmental Assessment Study City of Pickering RoadsMunicipal Class Environmental Assessment (Phases 3 and 4) and Ministry of Infrastructure Public Work Class Environmental Assessment Notice of Completion In May of 2006 the Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) was approved by the Province of Ontario under the Ontario Planning and Development Act and it was amended in 2012. Seaton is the urban community identified in the CPDP.The CPDP established the need for the preparation of a Master Environmental Servicing Plan, as amended June 2013 (MESPA).The MESPA was undertaken by the Seaton landowners group, known as the North Pickering Community Management Inc., and also includes the Province of Ontario. From the MESP, three City arterial and collector roads in the Seaton Urban Area were identified as Schedule C in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA).The MESPA and this Class EA Study are posted on the City of Pickering website for public comments related to the disposition, severance, easements and any other related realty activity for provincially owned lands or to the construction of these City roads. The Seaton Landowners’ Group has completed a Schedule C Class EA Study for three arterial and collector roads in the Seaton UrbanArea (see attached key plan).These roads will be owned by the City of Pickering upon completion. The purpose of the Class EA Study is to determine the preferred alignments for these roads in accordance with the CPDP, City of Pickering Official Plan and the Seaton Master Environmental Servicing Plan.The roads have been planned to ensure long term transportationdemands can be accommodated in the Seaton community with minimal disruption to the natural and social environment. The Class EA Study for the road projects was completed in two parts.The first part was documented in the MESPA and consisted of Phases 1 and 2 of the approved process for the Municipal Class EA as described in Schedule C of that document and also addressed therequirements of the Ministry of Infrastructure Public Work Class EA. The second part of the Class EA process was undertaken inaccordance with the approved process for Phases 3 and 4 of the Municipal Class EA and with the Ministry of Infrastructure Public Work Class EA. No comments were received as a result of the MESPA consultation related to the provincial lands and undertakings. The Seaton Roads (Phases 3-4) Class EA Study documents the results of the study and the preferred City road alignments.The Class EA Study (and the MESP documenting Phases 1-2) is available at https://www.pickering.ca/en/cityhall/seatoncommunity.asp and at the following locations for a 30 day review period which concludes on October 6, 2017. You are invited to visit our project website at https://www.pickering.ca/en/cityhall/seatoncommunity.asp and send your comments or questions.Written comments or questions regarding this study should be sent to the Class EA Study Manager or the City of Pickering Principal Planner before October 6, 2017. If concerns regarding the City road project(s) cannot be resolved in consultation with the Seaton Landowners’ Group, a person may request that the Minister of Environment and Climate Change make an order for the project(s) to comply with Part II of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a “Part II Order”). Requests for a Part II Order, providing reasons for the request and other information as set out in Section A.2.8.2 of the Municipal Class EA, must be received by the Minister, at the address below, by October 6, 2017.A copy of the request must also be sent to the Project Manager at the address indicated above.

The CTA is working hard to promote the development of greener trucks and a greener trucking industry. The organization’s “enviro truck” initiative has taken on the challenge of reducing harmful emissions that affect air quality and climate change. Enviro trucks use smog-free engines that reduce greenhouse gas emissions up to 22 percent. Getting more green trucks on the road is a project for the long haul and with continued advocacy on the part of the CTA, it is hoped that new fuel efficiency technology will soon make these vehicles the bulk of every company’s fleet. to our drivers and owner-operators for NationalTruckWeek, and all year long!

The 54-year-old actor is back in his native Toronto attending what has been billed as a round table press conference to promote the revival of his “Must See” NBC sitcom Will & Grace. Instead of a round table, however, report- ers were told to sit behind a railing in the theatre seats of a Corus Media screening room. McCormack’s chair is at the oppo- site end of the room, about a car length from reporters. The Emmy winner solves the problem by dragging his chair right up to the railing and sitting down. It’s such a Canadian thing to do. It’s typical of McCormack to waive all trap- pings of stardom. In a career that stretches back 30 years in Canada – back to bit parts in homegrown shows such as Hangin’ In, Street Legal and E.N.G. -- he’s been unfail- ingly polite and friendly with reporters. Not that there isn’t bite to his banter. When asked shortly after the election of Donald Trump what it would take for him to per- form at the president’s inauguration, he answered, “a lobotomy.” He’s just as cheeky describing Will & Grace. He joked that returning to the very same Hollywood soundstage to revive the series after an 11-year hiatus was like “getting back on a big, gay bicycle.” McCormack, of course, plays Will Truman, a gay, New York City lawyer who is best friends with Grace Adler (Debra Messing), an interior design firm owner. Their closest chums are Karen and Jack (Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes). “It’s like going back to college for us, it’s going to be almost always fun,” says McCor- mack. Making the return easier, he says, is that none of them needs to do it; they all just want to do it. “We’re lucky in that we all have had great things since,” says McCormack, who head- lined three other series since Will & Grace exited after eight seasons in 2006: Trust Me, a short-lived drama about ad men pairing him with fellow Canadian Tom Cavanagh, Perception, a crime drama that lasted three seasons on U.S, cable and Travelers, a time- travel series seen on Showcase and Netflix. McCormack, who directed the final epi- sode of Travelers this summer, had to fly from the Vancouver set of that series direct- ly to Los Angeles the very next day to start working on Will & Grace. “I’m not complaining,” says McCormack, who shares homes in Vancouver and LA with his wife of 20 years, Janet Leigh Hold- en, and their son Finnigan. Messing just wrapped two seasons on the NBC drama The Mysteries of Laura. Mullal- ly headlined her own daytime talk show and has done dozens of film and TV roles. Hayes has been busy as an executive producer on both Grimm and Hollywood Game Night. None really ever expected to be back shooting new episodes of Will & Grace. “Honestly, it was surprising to me,” says McCormack. “You never want to go to a party that you weren’t invited. We weren’t invited, we just suddenly showed up on social media.” A year ago, about a month before the U.S. presidential election, the four main cast members reunited on their old show’s same New York apartment set for a 10-minute web special. The sketch quickly went viral, drawing over 7.6 million views on YouTube. It was a not-so-subtle attempt to swing votes toward Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton. “It could very well have gone badly,” says McCormack. “We live in a very cynical world, and I was afraid of a very cynical reaction.” Instead, NBC executives saw it, loved it and especially loved how the cast did not appear to have aged at all. They ordered 10 new episodes, then 16, then two full sea- sons. With right wing political attacks on everything from health care to same sex marriage, the so-called liberal comedy suddenly had a backboard again. McCormack also found that a new gener- ation had discovered the series in reruns; that for Millennials, it had become, “their Brady Bunch. I’ve had 17-year-old gay men come up to me and say, ‘Thanks for your show,’” he says. “My show?! You were seven when we went off the air!” Fans who watched the original series right to the end may find the reboot a little con- fusing. The final episode saw the four main characters cast into the future, getting mar- ried and adopting kids.

Eric McCormack in… Will & Grace rebooted See ACTOR page 20 Paul Knowles You probably won’t believe this –but we have spent two weeks in Ireland, and never kissed the Blarney Stone. Nor, for that matter, did we visit the Guinness Storehouse, or see the Book of Kells, or enter the Titanic Museum. I’m not knocking any of these popular attractions but I will suggest that there is so much more to do and see in Ire- land. This is a destination that demands lengthy and multiple visits, with eyes wide open for adventure and discovery. And this article is about some of the very special, although lesser-known, wonders you might discover along the way. Such as… the caves. According to a professor at the Univer- sity of Dublin, Ireland is home to 688 caves. Why so many? Half of the coun- try’s bedrock is limestone, and limestone means caves. You cannot visit all of them – not only is that a highly impractical goal, most are not open to visitors. But several are, and if you venture away from the coastal views and the pubs for an afternoon, you can have a remarkable experience. Two caves definitely worth visiting are the Doolin Cave, in the beau- tiful Burren region of County Clare, and Dunmore Cave, in Ballyfoyle, Kilkenny. The experience in these two caves is quite different. Doolin demands a descent (and subsequent ascent, a factor to be kept in mind) down metal stairs, and then a trek along a low and narrow path. You’ll be wearing a hard hat, and you’ll need it. The reward is spectacular – beauti- ful caves and underground features, including “The Great Stalactite” a natu- ral, seven-metre sculpture hanging from the ceiling. Doolin is a privately-owned operation. Dunmore is part of Heritage Ireland, operated by the Office of Public Works. Incidentally, if you are going to visit several OPW sites, it is very worthwhile to buy a Heritage Pass (visit www.heri- tageireland.ie) at 40 euros for an adult, 30 for a senior. Dunmore offers a slightly easier entry – no ducking, no hard hats, but about 375 steps each way (with rest stops if need- ed). There are several caves, all with unique beauty, and a powerful story attached to the deepest recesses, site of the final scene of a battle between Vikings and Irish. When you think Ire- land, you may not think “spelunking” – but you should, and a trip to Ireland will almost always bring you within visiting distance of these amazing, secret sites. Like almost every European country, Ireland is home to castles, both ruined and restored. No doubt, they’re all worth your attention. But a little off the beaten track, you will find castles that are less visited, but fas- cinating nonetheless. Like Dunguaire in Kinvarra, County Galway, and Ferns Castle, in Co. Wexford. Everyone knows the city of Galway, but fewer are aware of Kinvarra (also spelled Kinvara), across Galway Bay to the south. This small town has a lovely waterfront, fine restaurants, and the picturesque Dunguaire Castle. The castle is open for visits, includes a shop selling the work of local artisans, and hosts medieval feasts in a very authentic setting. On the other side of Ireland, Ferns Castle is a genuine ruin. Tours are pos- sible, although much of the castle has been destroyed. But what makes this stop worthwhile is the added attraction 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 • Se p t e m b e r 6 , 2 0 1 7 20 AP Afford to Retire in Elliot Lake Book Your Discovery TourOne Free Night at the Hampton Inn Elliot Lake andenjoy a tour of the city and ourproperties.(Second night $30.00 + taxes) 1.800.461.4663 RetireElliotLake.com Apartments from $508/mth Townhomes from $650/mth Homes from $720/mth Ask about our specials on select properties Elliot Lake Retirement Living, an incredible place… an exceptional price Mon. to Fri. 9am - 7pm, Sat. 10am - 4pm, Sun. 10am - 3pm *Call or visit store for details. 780 Kingston Rd.

Just forget any of that ever happened, says McCormack. His character, for example, will not be married to Bobby Cannavale--as he was when we last saw them. “We simply want to drop [the main charac- ters] into 2017,” he says. “There will be lots of Twitter jokes, for sure.” One thing there may be less of is big name guest stars. Will & Grace became notorious, especially in latter seasons, for all the movie stars who popped up in cameo roles. “It was a huge, amazing thing to have certain people come on that show,” says McCormack. “That I got Sidney Pollack as my dad. That I had Gene Wilder as my boss.” The bad news, however, was that “critics thought we had turned into The Love Boat.” McCormack remembers one episode where John Cleese, Gena Davis and Mini Driver all appeared, “the tallest guest cast of all time.” The actor says he’s enjoying finding his character’s old rhythms. “There was always comfortability to Will,” he says. “I didn’t have to be macho, clearly. I didn’t have to be a traditional leading man. You could be the leading man on this show and still have foi- bles and still be neurotic.” He hopes viewers watch the reboot the way they used to watch the original – as a shared experience. McCormack sees the return coming “at a time when we all need something collective. We’re so scattered now. We all have our own networks and shows we can watch whenever we want. I think Will & Grace has the potential to bring people in front of the television at the same time on the same night and that’s hard to do these days.” The new Will & Grace premieres Thursday, Sept. 28 on NBC and Global.

Denying signs of hearing loss and not actively seeking a solution is largely attributed to the stigma that’s associated with wearing hearing aids. But what many don’t know is that hearing aid technology has come a long way. Gone are the outdated,uncomfortable and noticeably clunky hearing aids. Now,therearesolutionsthatcan be customized to the individual wearing them and some are so discreet no one will even know you’re wearing them! Not being able to fully engage in a social situation can be frustrating. Especially when it means missing parts of a lively conversation because there are too many competing background noises. Asking someone to have to repeat themselvesbecomesembarrassing, and withdrawing from social situations becomes a method of coping. But for many, coping is a way of prolonging the need for hearing aids because they don’t wanttogivein toshowingtheirage. Fortunately, today’s hearing aid technologies offer the best of both worlds:fully engage in social situationswithout anyoneknowing you’re wearing hearing aids.You can look as young as you feel and remainthelifeoftheparty–hearing with ease and confidence.

From scalpel to glue: Treatment options for varicose veins Many people are all too familiar with the discomfort of varicose veins in their legs. The condition affects approximately 20 per cent of adult Canadians, with women being four to five times more likely than men to have varicose veins. Typical symptoms include swelling and pain, which can range from itchiness to a sensation that feels like ants crawling under the skin to intense throbbing or shooting pains. The diseased veins are often unsightly as well. The condition occurs when valves in the veins stop working properly and blood col- lects. The cause of such a malfunction is unknown but various treatments have been developed to deal with its effects. If left untreated, varicose veins sometimes grow in size and can eventually cause inflammation, skin breakdown and ulceration. The first thing to do if you believe you may have varicose veins is to talk to your prima- ry physician. He or she will ask about your symptoms and examine your legs. In some cases an ultrasound scan will be used for a more detailed examination. Initially, the symptoms may be alleviated by elevating the legs to ease pressure in the veins, exercising the calf muscles to improve circulation, and using compression stock- ings. If the primary physician and patient decide to look at medical intervention, the physi- cian may refer the patient to a vascular sur- geon, who can suggest several treatment options. These options vary in invasiveness and recovery time but share the same goal: to close off the diseased veins and allow the body to reroute blood through neighbouring healthy veins. The traditional treatment is surgical: a sec- tion of the vein is cut and removed, and the remaining ends of the veins are stitched shut. The cost of the surgery is often covered by provincial health plans if the patient’s vari- cose veins are serious enough. Other treatments include thermal ablation, in which the veins are closed by heat from a laser or electric current; sclerotherapy, in which a foam is injected into the vein to close it; and a method known as Venaseal, which uses a specially formulated medical adhe- sive to seal the vein. Private health plans may cover the cost of some of these treatments. When I discuss the different treatment options with patients, my first recommenda- tion is to consider the Venaseal procedure, for several reasons. First, no anaesthetic is required. The proce- dure is performed in the surgeon’s office and normally takes 30 to 40 minutes to complete on one leg. As well, it is safe for elderly people and those taking blood thinners. The risks of blood clots, infections and other com- plications are extremely low, and the prob- ability of recurrence is also low. Finally, no major recovery or time off work is involved— patients can drive themselves home from the appointment and are encouraged to walk after the procedure. Another benefit for some patients is that they do not need to wear stockings following treatment. One concern I hear about Venaseal is that it is relatively new so patients wonder about its safety. I reassure them that while treating varicose veins with adhesive is new, the glue itself has been used for many years in other parts of the body. If you are suffering from or worried about varicose veins, talk to your physician about the various safe and effective treatments that are available.

It’s an intriguing way to learn the history of this part of Ireland – and there’s a castle to explore, as well. About an hour from Ferns, to the east, are two must-sees that many peo- ple don’t-see. One is perhaps the fin- est estate hotel in the country, Mount Juliet, near Thomastown, Co. Kilken- ny. If you can manage to stay here – do! And immediately agree to the estate tour offered by guides like the charming Des McGrath. If you are a golfer, the beauti- ful Mount Juliet course is the first Irish course designed by Jack Nicklaus. Or just come for a meal at one of the restau- rants, but take the time to walk around the gardens and the estate. If Ireland has many castles, it has many more monasteries, almost all ruined. They’re almost all worth your time, from the best known (such as The Rock of Cashel, which groups have to book at least a year in advance; and Clonmac- noise, with its many “temples”) to the least. We’d suggest one lesser-known monas- tery, both because of the excellent per- sonal tours, and because of its proxim- ity to another lesser-known attraction. Tintern Abbey is in Co. Wexford (not to be confused with the Welsh ruin of the same name). OPW has done a remark- able restoration job – not in returning the abbey to a rebuilt state, but by removing a Georgian house that was literally fitted into its walls, thus again revealing the ruins of the original abbey structure. The grounds are beckoning, with woodland walks, a stone bridge, a ruined chapel in an historic churchyard, and more. And a gentle walk away is one of the secret treasures of Ireland – Colclough Walled Garden, an early 19th-century garden that has been restored by com- munity volunteers in the last seven years. It’s an amazing project, a genuine labour of love – and you can even taste the love if you donate a euro or two in exchange for some fruit or vegetables grown in the garden. North of Dublin is the town of Kells – the place that gave the name to the Book of Kells, now housed at Trinity College, Dublin. Visitors line up for hours to catch a glimpse of the original. But in the town of Kells (a charming community), is St. Columba’s Church (Church of Ire- land), which has a beautiful facsimile of the Book of Kells on display, as well as an impressive collection of large Celt- ic crosses, and a separate Medieval bell tower. Docents offer a warm welcome, and your visit is free of charge. Ireland’s capital, Dublin, is of course full of intriguing sites and attractions. It will probably not be a surprise that, among them, there are galleries and museums. What might surprise you, though, is that the best of them – the National Museum of Ireland, with mul- tiple sites (my favourite is the archeol- ogy museum), and the National Gal- lery of Ireland, are all free of charge for all regular exhibitions. At the archaeol- ogy museum, the prehistoric gold exhib- it – with gleaming torcs, brooches, gold balls and more – will astonish you, while the National Gallery has an outstanding collection of Irish and European art. All, free to see. There’s much more, of course – and there are all the more well-known Irish attractions, from Newgrange to the Cliffs of Moher, which draw hundreds of thou- sands of visitors. But even if you kiss the Blarney Stone and sample the Guinness, be sure to take time to enjoy the lesser known secrets and surprises along the way. That expe- rience will transform you from being a tourist in Ireland to being a lover of Ire- land – a very worthwhile result.
