The local school is running a school sup- ply drive with plans to donate the items to children from the island of Barbuda, which was completely devastated by the recent hurricane. “In our classroom, we are approaching our learning with a social justice lens. We really wanted to learn about what was hap- pening and take action,” says teacher Dalana Parris, who is organizing the drive. “We espe- cially wanted to help the children affected.” The school is collecting donations of backpacks, pencil cases, pencils, crayons, pencil sharpeners, rulers, erasers, geometry sets, notebooks, children’s books, baby and children’s clothes, children’s toiletries and children’s vitamins. Donations can be dropped off at French- man’s Bay Public School, 920 Oklahoma Dr. in Pickering, during schools hours until Sept. 26. Parris says the deadline is tight because they are hoping to get supplies to Antigua — where displaced residents of Barbuda are being housed — in time for children there to start their school year on Oct. 1. “We’re trying to help the children of Bar- buda … they had to evacuate the island, they had to leave everything behind,” says Grade 5 student Grace Reid. “There are a lot of kids who really need our help, who have nothing,” adds classmate Eva Eliopoulos. Reports estimate 90 per cent of Barbu- da’s buildings were damaged or destroyed by hurricane Irma, forcing all of its roughly 1,800 residents to be relocated to shelters on the sister island of Antigua. An estimated one-third of the evacuees are children. Visit www.barbudarebuilds.ca to learn more about aid efforts being organized by the Antigua and Barbuda community in the Greater Toronto Area and the Consulate General of Antigua and Barbuda. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland PICKERING -- Grade 5 students at Frenchman’s Bay Public School gathered with the supplies that have been donated so far in the school supply drive that stared on Monday, Sept. 18. The school is collecting supplies to help 500 students that were displaced from Barbuda after Hurricane Irma hit. Items needed range from pencil cases, pencils and backpacks, to toiletries, vitamins and children’s books. The drive will run until 9 a.m. Sept. 26.

There is an element in our society that desperately needs our help. People who have sadly fallen through the cracks of our education system. Left to their own devices, these people are forced to make sometimes fatal decisions without the knowledge and training that you and I have been blessed with. And this situation is not going away. If anything, these people’s numbers are swelling and their plight has reached epi- demic proportions. I’m talking, of course, about people who sit in the left-hand lane; “Lefties’ or ‘Pokers’ as they have cruelly become labelled. I don’t hold with name-calling. I prefer to address these people by their proper medical designation; morons. There was a time, and it was not that long ago, when one seldom encountered a moron. Driv- ing was taught by people who understood fully the rules of the road and who took great pains to impress upon their charges the sanctity of that golden passing lane. It wasn’t a perfect system, of course. There was, still, the occasional outbreak of moronity, but it was dealt with swiftly and severely. Other, educated drivers, quickly boxing in the offending moron, sometimes with a police cruiser helping out, and forcing the miscreant back into the far right hand lane before his stu- pidity could spread. This ‘social inoculation’ worked … for a while. But as the nation’s population boomed, so, unfortunately, did the appearance of morons on the road. Worse, with their numbers swelling unchecked, many morons, even when having the error of their ways explained to them, would point to the dozens of other morons sitting in the passing lane and complain that their behaviour is normal. It is not. It is aberrant and also dangerous. Dangerous to those of us taking unnecessary chances to get around the offending moron and dangerous to the morons themselves, who real- ize, too late, that no amount of airbags will pro- tect them when they are forcibly dragged from their vehicle. To make matters worse, modern medical research has discovered that a secondary con- dition is beginning to evidence itself with many morons. Called ‘Pigheaded Myopia’, it is a form of paralysis that apparently inhibits the moron from being able to check any of his vehicles mir- rors, rendering him completely unaware of the backlog of traffic he is causing. It would be funny if it weren’t so tragic. To that end, I am starting the Single-Dig- it Campaign. When you pass a moron sitting in the left hand lane, please, act with your heart and give them the finger. This tells them you are ‘one of many’ who care about them and want to get them help. We can end moronity if we all lend a hand … one finger at a time. neil crone Enter Laughing The Single-Digit Campaign for traffic safety You cannot change history with a name change, says reader To the editor: Re: Elementary Teachers’ Federa- tion of Ontario’s motion to remove Sir John A. Macdonald’s name from schools across the province David Mastin, president of EFTO, expects some controversy over his union’s motion concerning the pro- posal to change the name of Sir John A. Macdonald School in Pickering. Well, here’s some! Attempting to change the names of schools across Durham, Ontario, or Canada will do nothing to improve the thoughts of any child, Indigenous or otherwise. You cannot change his- tory. Perhaps Mr. Mastin and his cro- nies should give some thought on how to improve the DDSB history curriculum to better reflect the whole impact of Sir John A.’s contributions to Canadian society. In my opinion, Mr. Mastin and his associates should re-evaluate and rethink what they are trying to accomplish here. There is no doubt that future gen- erations will not be discussing the removal of the name David Mastin from any Canadian buildings. Dave Briggs Oshawa In workplaces across Ontario health and safety has become paramount with compa- nies that flout the legislation at their peril. Simply put, it’s safety first. So it stands to reason Oshawa MPP Jenni- fer French’s call for her colleagues, those of all political stripes, to adopt the recommen- dations put forth from a coroner’s inquest into the death of Clarington firefighting stu- dent Adam Brunt, should be passed. Mr. Brunt died on Feb. 8, 2015 while par- ticipating in private training exercises con- ducted by Terry Harrison of Herschel Res- cue Training Systems in Hanover. The Dur- ham College student became trapped by a piece of metal rebar under icy waters in the Saugeen River and died. A coroner’s inquest was called into Brunt’s death as well as the death of Gary Kendall of Point Edward, who died in 2010 while training with Herschel Rescue Train- ing Systems. After looking at both cases, a coroner’s jury made 15 recommendations in May including recommending an immediate halt to all cold water training where the cur- rent is deemed to be swift. The jury recom- mended that no such training should be conducted until a committee of experts is convened and determines a way of conduct- ing it in a low-risk manner. Further, the jury called on the province to maintain a list of approved fire protection instructors and trainers and to ensure that students like Brunt are protected like work- ers are protected under labour legislation. The Ministry of Labour did not lay charges in Brunt’s death because he was not a work- er. French also called for the regulation of private firefighting courses. “The government shouldn’t try to cherry pick and break this into pieces; we are call- ing on them to fully adopt them and close this loophole and keep every firefighter trainee safe in the province,” she said. “This has been a very personal process, obviously it started with a tragic loss, it’s about ensur- ing that no one else suffers that kind of loss.” Health and safety has been embraced by the province of Ontario and workplac- es across the province have been the bet- ter for it. But when people are dying during firefighting training exercises and nobody is held to account, that is simply wrong. Firefighters risk their lives for us every day they go to work. The least the government could do is make sure they are as safe as pos- sible while training. People’s lives have been lost here, families rocked forever. We urge all MPPs to vote to adopt the coroner’s recom- mendations. Do right by our firefighters.

Letters to the editor Durham Region needs a vibrant, agriculture- based economy, not an airport To the editor: Re: ‘Recouping Canada’s $150-million investment’, column, Aug. 23 I read with interest Pickering Mayor Ryan’s views about the possible use of the Pickering federal lands but was disap- pointed that some of his “facts” are inac- curate. Mayor Ryan is correct that there is a need to include agriculture in a solution for returning the Pickering federal lands into a productive capacity; however, there are flaws in the rest of his argument. One hundred and fifty million dol- lars in accumulated federal government expenses to maintain the Pickering fed- eral lands (Toronto Star article, July 30, 2017) is not an investment. It represents funds spent on significant costs for sev- eral Transport Canada passenger growth studies for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Unfortunately, not one of these studies has ever been accurate regarding the actual passenger growth needs for the GTA. There has been no funding for the maintenance of the agricultural infra- structure on these lands. If the agricul- tural productive capacity of these lands was to be restored, many more than the “70” jobs that Mayor Ryan quoted would be created. The “investment” to date has been a colossal exercise in a waste of resources. With respect to whether or not the GTA needs another airport, an independent study released last year under the guid- ance of Dr. Gary Polonsky revealed three key challenges with the “build an airport” argument. First, existing airport operators have stated that passenger traffic is essen- tial for the profitability of an airport (pg. 37). Second, two national airlines don’t see the capacity requirements to proceed with adding a new airport (pg. 33). And third, existing airlines don’t want a new airport to split their current operations because it negatively impacts profitability (pg. 37). If the proposed main clients (airlines) don’t want an airport built, and airport operators need passenger traffic for a profitable outcome, how can you contin- ue to make a case on economic grounds that an airport needs to be built? There is lots of other airport capacity in the Greater Golden Horseshoe that will keep the regional economy rolling along for decades to come. Regarding the land usage argument, at present, the Toronto and Region Conser- vation Authority estimates that the rate of loss of farmland in the Greater Golden Horseshoe has slowed to 150 acres per day (TRCA Living City Report Card 2016). The Pickering federal lands consist of Class 1 Farmland — the most productive agricultural land in the country, and we are not creating more of this type of land. How, then, can anyone justify removing 9,600 acres of this valuable arable land for the benefit of an estimated “5,000 jobs” in the process of paving it over for an air- port? Many more families in our region could be supplied with fresh, locally- grown food for generations, and expe- rience increased food security if these lands were preserved as farmlands. Agri- tourism could become a booming local business. Look at the Niagara Region as an example of agri-tourism economic development. Cottage industries would be created as a result of locally-grown food, and fine eating establishments could be established featuring locally- grown produce. With the Rouge National Urban Park right next door, the agri-tour- ism opportunity is further enhanced. It appears that Mayor Ryan is begin- ning to understand that shifting his argu- ment to include agricultural solutions for the Pickering federal lands is necessary because the winds of change are begin- ning to blow more strongly in the City of Pickering — elections are coming around again. The time has come to move on from the outdated arguments of the past. Dur- ham Region does not need to host anoth- er Mirabel. What it does need is a vibrant, agriculture-based economy that pre- serves the land, increases food security in the GTA, boosts agri-tourism and avoids all the pitfalls and enormous cost to tax- payers that building a new airport would entail. Maybe the real change that needs to occur in Pickering is a new mayor and a different city council that have a vision that is sustainable, and that adds to, rath- er than detracting from, the environment. David Hogg Ajax Reader shares thoughts about ‘What do I stand for?’ To the editor: Re: ‘What do I stand for?’ Neil Crone col- umn, Aug. 24 While reading Neil Crone’s column I thought of the terrible struggle many of my ancestors must have endured, cap- tured and forced into slavery by ruth- less slave masters. Men subjected to hard labour, many doomed as galley slaves on ships chained to a wooden rowing bench where they would eat, sleep, urinate, and defecate until they became sick or died, then tossed overboard. Women sold as sex slaves to the highest bidder, enduring rape, torture, and unspeakable indignities until discarded when no longer of use. It is esti- mated that during the period of the 16th through 19th centuries, more than one million of my ancestors suffered. I speak of the white Europeans who lived from Italy to the Netherlands, as far north as Iceland, and east into the Mediterranean, victims of African slave traders from the Barbary Coast of North Africa, which included the Ottoman provinces of Algeria, Tunisia, and Tripolitania, and the independent sultan- ate of Morocco. Africa had been a hub of large-scale slavery for more than 1,000 years; various tribal factions such as the Ashanti Empire were in a perpetual state of war to capture and enslave literally millions of their rivals. Most of the slaves brought to America were bought from such African slave traders. If we compare the slavery stats of the con- tinents of North America and Africa from the middle of the 16th through the middle of the 19th centuries, we find that approx- imately one to 1.25 million white Chris- tian Europeans and 700 Americans were enslaved in North Africa, almost twice as many as the number of blacks enslaved in North America during the same time. We must not overlook that slavery through the ages has impacted both black and white, and we must not forget that the roots of what many of our black and white ancestors endured to a great degree go back to the African continent itself. I’d say that vigilance, and apologies, are due all round from the South East of America to the North West of Africa.

Ajax council approved the proposal, which includes a public art piece at the intersection, when it met on Monday, Sept. 18. Craft Development Corporation put for- ward the proposal and a staff report noted the project is appropriate and compatible with the surrounding community. The buildings will be four storeys, with each unit taking up two storeys. Vehicle access to the townhouses will be off Angus Drive. The public art piece will be a sculpture of a woman riding a bicycle. The cost is about $18,000 and Craft will pay the entire cost.

The concept is a new one for the Dur- ham District School Board. The hubs — which are slated to be built inside six DDSB high schools — are spaces youth ages 12 to 18 can socialize, as well as take part in programs offered by community partners. Hubs will open at Henry Street High School and Ajax High School this fall, followed by Brock High School and G.L. Roberts C.V.I. in September 2018. There are also future plans for hubs at Eastdale C.V.I. and McLaughlin C.V.I. “I was elated when I found out we were getting one,” says Henry Street principal Chrystal Bryan. She says the school is a “perfect fit” for a hub, because it has strong com- munity connections, and the Town of Whitby has been looking to create a youth space in the south part of town. Each hub will have its own look and programming, but DDSB officials say some common elements might include: comfy couches; music and sound equip- ment; cellphone charging stations; WiFi; snacks, a microwave, sink and cof- fee maker; video game systems; board games; computers; and ping pong or air hockey tables. Community partners will offer struc- tured activities, but youth will also have the option to do school work, or just relax. Officials expect the hubs will main- ly be used by students from the school, however they will be open to any youth in the community including Grade 7 and 8 students from feeder schools, stu- dents from the Durham Catholic District School Board, and youth who are home schooled. During the school day, Bryan says Henry Street’s hub will be used by the school for things like special events and guest speakers. After hours, it will be open until 8 p.m., as well as on Saturdays. Bryan is especially happy about access to computers and internet at the hub. “We do have kids in our community who don’t have internet at home,” she notes. “This gives them a place where they can finish up their work … and it’s not going to close at 4 p.m.” The Henry Street hub is being built in space along the front of the school for- merly occupied by three classrooms. It will have direct access from the outside, as well as its own washroom. Barbara Roam, partnership develop- ment co-ordinator for the DDSB, says feedback from students is a key part of designing the hubs. The school board is surveying stu- dents at Henry Street and Ajax High School to get their opinions on every- thing from furniture to programming. “What we need to do is respond to the youth voice and make sure the hubs are meeting their needs,” she says. DDSB staff also visited other youth spaces for inspiration, including Fire- house Youth Centre in Bowmanville. “We know based on research and other community’s experiences that this really supports their positive social development,” Roam explains. “It’s a safe space to meet friends, to be men- tored and have access to activities.” The hubs are being paid for with a combination of Ministry of Education funding, and the DDSB’s own allocated funding. In some cases, community partners may also chip in funds. For example, the Town of Whitby is contributing $25,000 toward the pur- chase of recreational equipment for the hub at Henry Street. Other community partners support- ing the Henry Street hub include the Abilities Centre, YMCA, Girls Inc. and the Durham Region Health Department.

Durham school board asks province to fund new Oshawa high school, two new elementary schools Pickering parents frustrated a school for their area didn’t make the list Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM — New schools in Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax could be in the cards if the province approves a funding request from the Durham District School Board. The board recently submitted a list of capital funding requests to the Ministry of Education for consideration. The proposed projects would be required to open no later than the 2020-21 school year. The list includes a new French immer- sion school at Williamson Road West and Winterton Way in Ajax, a new elementa- ry school at Lazio Street and Samandria Avenue in Whitby, and a new high school at Bridle Road and Winchester Road in Oshawa. “We review all our areas of new devel- opment where we have future school sites,” says Christine Nancekivell, senior manag- er of facilities services for the DDSB. She says those three proposals repre- sent areas with the “greatest enrolment pressure.” Just because the DDSB has asked the province for funding, doesn’t mean money will come through. For example, this is the third time the board has asked for funds for a new high school in north Oshawa. “Even though it’s a high priority for us … there could be other school board sub- missions that are more urgent,” Nancekiv- ell says, explaining that the province is weighing requests from every school board in the province. Noticeably absent from the DDSB’s list is a request to fund a new school for the Duffin Heights area in Pickering. Frustrated parents and Pickering city councillors have been pressing the school board for years, saying a new school is desperately needed. Students in that area currently attend Valley View P.S. and Valley Farm P.S. Parents say Valley View P.S. is over- crowded — the school has a building capacity of 139 students, but currently has 332 enrolled. “Having a neighbourhood school solves several challenges we face each day. As taxpayers we feel deprived,” says concerned parent Ajith Sathyanarayana, whose nine year old attends Valley View P.S. Sathyanarayana is concerned about the number of portables at the school, access to washrooms with such a large student population, the lack of a child care facility at the school and heavy school bus traffic in the neighbourhood. Nancekivell said a new school in the Duffin Heights area can’t be included in this round of submission, because the future school site won’t be available to the DDSB until summer 2020, which doesn’t leave enough time for a 2020-21 opening. The site for the new school is currently a City of Pickering operations centre. Pickering plans to have a new opera- tions centre open by the summer of 2019, after which the future school property will need an environmental assessment, as well as site remediation and demolition. A request for the new Pickering school is expected to be included in the next set of submissions to the ministry, for schools opening in 2021-22. Pickering Regional Councillor David Pickles says he is talking to city staff to see if there is a way to hand the site over to the DDSB sooner. “We’ve started construction of new (operations centre) site, we’re hoping to move very quickly on that,” he said. “What we don’t want to do is have (the DDSB) hold it up based on any uncertainty … we don’t want to be the roadblock.” The DDSB’s funding request for 2020- 21 also includes a rebuild of Beaverton P.S. to consolidate that school with Tho- rah Central P.S., as well as an addition for Pierre Elliott Trudeau P.S. and the pur- chase of about 20 new air-conditioned portables. 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 2 1 , 2 0 1 7 11 AP The Boardof Governorsprovides Durham Collegewith community-based governancethrough impartial stewardshipon behalf of the public.Itestablishes expected institutional outcomes by setting the college’s vision,strategic direction and overall goals withinthecontext of appropriate laws, government policies and local needs.

Durham, municipalities bidding for Amazon HQ2 Ajax and Pickering offering possible sites Keith Gilligan KGilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The region is joining a long list of contenders for Amazon's sec- ond headquarters. The online retailer announced plans to develop a second headquarters, dubbed HQ2, separate from it's existing one in Seattle. The company said the new head- quarters would employ 50,000 people and be at least eight million square feet of development. At the regional council meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 13, chair Roger Anderson said staff are working with Toronto Global (formerly the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance) to put for- ward a proposal. "Staff has been working on this since Thursday," Anderson said. "Durham will be all over this. I hope the munici- palities work collaboratively." Pickering officials on Monday said Seaton would be an ideal location for HQ2, while Ajax said it's working with the region and will be offering up pos- sible sites for the development. The company announced plans for HQ2 on Thursday, Sept. 7 and gave a deadline of Thursday, Oct. 19 for sub- missions. An announcement would be made sometime in 2018. In announcing its plans, Amazon said most of the new jobs would pay more than $100,000 annually. The guidelines for a site noted a pref- erence for "a metropolitan area of one million or more, a stable and business- friendly environment, urban or sub- urban locations with the potential to attract and retain strong technical talent and communities that think big and cre- atively when considering locations and real estate options." The project will cost about $5 billion over the first 15 to 17 years. The company preferred communities work together and submit a proposal. Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Police here and across the country need time to gear up for the impending legalization of marijuana, Dur- ham’s police chief says. “It’s not like flipping a switch,” Paul Martin said Wednesday. “Police services across Canada, especially the larger police services, will need time to equip and train.” Martin made the statement the day after police representatives testified before the House of Commons health committee Sept. 12. The police told MPs there is little chance they’ll be prepared by July 1, 2018, the target date set by the federal govern- ment for legalization. They asked for the legalization date to be postponed. Foremost among the concerns expressed was training for officers to iden- tify drug-impaired drivers, according to reporting on the committee session by the Canadian Press. An OPP representative said that service, which has just more than 80 officers trained in the field, will need 400 to 500, CP reported. Nationally, it’s estimated at least 2,000 drug recognition officers will be required; there are currently about 600, CP said. Durham police currently seven drug recognition officers. Reports Wednesday indicated the fed- eral government intends to adhere to the July 1 target for legalization. Martin said Wednesday Durham police will do their best to be ready when legal- ization occurs. “Certainly we will do everything pos- sible to be prepared for the new law,” he said. “However, as the deadline approach- es, there has to be adequate time for us to familiarize ourselves with any new tech- nology and get everyone trained in the new procedures.” Durham chief says police need time, training to prepare for marijuana legalization Durham Police Chief Paul Martin Suspicious man in Ajax invited girl, 5, into car, police say AJAX — Police are trying to identify a man who invited a young girl to get into his car on Sunday evening in Ajax. The five-year-old was playing in her yard in the Audley Road — Rushworth Drive area around 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 17 when a man approached her and asked her to get into the vehicle, police said. He drove away when he saw the child’s grandmother was with her. The suspect is a man in his 50s or 60s with a tanned complexion who wore a ball cap, a white shirt with stripes and baggy brown pants with a black belt. He drove an older-model four-door sedan that may be green or brown. The incident prompted police to issue a reminder to parents that children ought to be made aware of the potential danger pre- sented by strangers. Durham man faces child porn charges in Toronto OSHAWA — An Oshawa man has been charged with accessing and pos- sessing child pornography. Toronto police arrested the man after attending homes in the Yonge and King streets area of Toronto and the Harmony Road and King Street por- tion of Oshawa on Thursday, Sept. 14. The man faces two counts of possession of child pornography and two counts of accessing child pornography. Pedro Alfaro, also known as Pedro Alfaro-Olguin, 55, of Oshawa, was arrested and had a court hearing on Fri- day, Sept, 15. 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 2 1 , 2 0 1 7 12 AP Toby VanWeston newsroom@durhamregion.com 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of Dur- ham College (DC). What began as a cluster of 16 portables has evolved into two campuses compris- ing multiple buildings and centres and a learning site in Pickering. DC offered just a handful of programs in applied arts, busi- ness and technology and had an enrol- ment of 205 students when it opened its doors in 1967. Today, its nine academic schools offer more than 140 full-time com- bined. It boasts more than 11,000 full-time students, thousands of part-time, continu- ing education and online students, and more than 81,000 graduates. While DC is nearly unrecognizable from the outside compared to its first year, one thing has remained the same over five decades: its focus on students. “We change lives through learning,” says Don Lovisa, president of DC. “I have a very, very privileged job. We have privi- leged jobs at the college. We help people prepare for their future. It’s very rewarding seeing people succeed.” Today, the college is made up of cam- puses in Oshawa and Whitby, a learning site in Pickering, and community employ- ment services in Bowmanville, Uxbridge, Port Perry and Port Hope. Its team has increased dramatically: it employs 780 full- time staff and faculty, and 1400 part-time staff and faculty. Gary Polonsky, the college’s longest- serving president, was at its helm from 1988 to 2006. Substantial growth took place under his 18-year leadership. “It was much smaller,” Polonsky says of the school’s size when he became president. “It was about three times the size when I left.” The student centre, campus ice centre, the first on-campus residence and the jus- tice wing were all built under his watch. Arguably his biggest contribution to DC was the opening of the Whitby campus in 1993. Under Polonsky, the college also became a much more gender-balanced environment. He recalls that at the time he took over, the ratio of male-to-female stu- dents was “disproportionately male.” Polonsky felt DC should broaden its scope (at the time, it favoured technical programs). Soon, the programs offered diversified, and a higher number of women began enrolling. “Eventually, the number of women out- numbered the men,” says Polonsky. “It was about 55 per cent women, and 45 per cent men when I retired.” Polonsky enjoyed walking through the halls with a coffee in his hand, talking to students. He would take notes of student suggestions and did his best to bring every idea to life. “I would walk around with a Styro- foam cup and as people were giving me these ideas, I wrote them down on my cup,” explains Polonsky. “It was my way to implement those ideas that same day.” The college has seen five different pres- idents over 50 years. Dr. Gordon Willey was the first president, serving from 1967 to 1980. Mel Garland was president from 1980 to 1988. Polonsky served from 1988 to 2006. Leah Myers took over from 2006 to 2008, and Don Lovisa has been at the helm since 2009. Don Lovisa remembers coming in at a time when the school had “reached a bit of a plateau” and stalled a little in terms of development. There were some financial problems and the recently-built Univer- sity of Ontario Institute of Technology had diverted resources from the college. Eight years later, this is no longer the case. “We’ve rebuilt the college from all mea- sures: the reputation, the brand, the pro- grams, the financial strength. The college is in a very good time in its history,” says Lovisa. “We’ve had our eighth consecutive balanced budget, a surplus this year, and we’ve launched 44 new programs over the past eight years.” DC has even strengthened its inter- national reputation, and has partnership programs with schools around the world, including Peru and Vietnam. While advancing technology and the evolving workforce change how classes are taught and what is learned, one thing remains constant: applied learning will remain DC’s greatest strength. “Students haven’t changed. (They) come to us because of our model of educa- tion. They want an applied education that prepares them for work. Something that’s going to help them get a job. That hasn’t changed in 50 years,” says Lovisa. College is only the first step in a gradu- ate’s career and watching them move on to the next chapter of their life and find suc- cess is the most rewarding part of the job for Lovisa. “I think, and I’m sure I speak for the ear- lier Durham College presidents as well, I’m most proud of the success of the students who leave here. When I watch students go across that (convocation) stage, there’s no prouder moment,” says Lovisa.

This one was the finest, on a lake we had all to ourselves The perfect campsite, bar none. I’ve climbed out of my canoe on dozens of rock ledges in my life, set up my tent in a lot of forest groves, but this one was the finest. On a lake we had all to ourselves. And it was completely unexpected. We were exploring a reedy arm of a lake off a logging road north of Sudbury last week, winding our way upstream, hop- ing to carry on up a long channel into the lake beyond. Gorgeous wooded country- side, but brushy, inhospitable shoreline, with nowhere to stop for lunch, not to mention camp. But just where the river made a sharp bend in front of a high ridge we spotted a sizable slab of flat rock at water’s edge, an anomaly in that land plowed up by glaciers. Such a nice looking ledge would be used by all sorts of fishermen; Den- nis and I had the exact same thought. But when we paddled over and stepped ashore we found the few pop and beer cans were rusty, the moss springy and untrampled, the whole place washed clean by winter snows and summer rains. Practically pristine. And when we found our route ahead blocked by rapids in the stream, and trees blown down across a long-ago por- tage trail, we happily floated back to our rock and set up camp. Tent back in a lit- tle clearing among the black spruce and birch, canoe tucked out of the way in the alders. Plus a vast flat 'kitchen' edged on three sides by sheets of dolomite lime- stone, ideal seating for watching sunris- es, sunsets and all the colourful dragon- flies patrolling the jutting peninsula. And in the middle, a garden of blue-green lichens, emerald mosses and burgundy- red blueberry bushes interspersed with young jack pines. It was bigger than our yard back home. So we lingered, seduced by the fine summer weather that moved in, and the pair of loons calling by night. We were sitting on our breakfast rock one morning when a bald eagle soared over, perched atop the cliff to the west and started preening its glossy wings. Later a small plump bird flew out across the stream right in front of us. A three-toed woodpecker, a rare, seldom-seen boreal species. Don’t ask me where our campsite was; I’m not telling. With so many other Canadian lakes and rivers to explore, who knows if we’ll ever get back? But no matter where life, our canoe and future summers take us, I know I’ll never forget that ideal spot, and the glo- rious days we spent there.

It's to remember the survivors of the resi- dential school system, said Jai Sahak, the town's diversity and community engagement co-ordinator. Residential schools were set up by the fed- eral government in the 1880s to try to assimi- late Aboriginal, Métis and Inuit children into Canadian culture. About 150,000 children were removed from their homes and sent to the schools. Jessica Schafer of the recre- ation, culture and community development department said many children died and some are still missing. The last residential school closed in 1996. Phyllis Webstad was one of the children taken from her home. When she arrived at the school, her clothes were removed, includ- ing an orange shirt she never wore again. "The treatment of the children is a sad and regrettable chapter in our history," Schafer noted. Aging Well Together to feature vendors, demonstrations, speakers prizes PICKERING — A fun, informative and social day to support Pickering’s older adults is coming up and it’s free to attend. The City of Pickering invites residents aged 55 and older to the Aging Well Togeth- er program launch. The event will take place at the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd. in Pickering on Wednesday, Sept. 27. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and greetings start at 9:30 a.m. The goal of the event is to inform Pickering residents, 55 and up, about the city’s programs and services that support their efforts to maintain independence, and enjoy a quality of life that is intellectual, physical and social. The day will start with greetings from MPP Dipika Damerla, Minister Responsi- ble for Senior Affairs and a welcome from Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan. Following the opening ceremonies, a presentation called Memory and Aging: What’s Normal, What’s Not, and What You Can Do About It will be conducted by University of Toronto asso- ciate professor Nicole Anderson, who is a senior scientist at the Rotman Research Institute. Next will be a presentation called A Recipe for Brain Health presented by Carol Greenwood, also a professor at U of T and a senior scientist at Rotman Research Insti- tute. More than 30 vendors will offer infor- mation on their products or services spe- cifically suited for older adults. Lunch will be provided at no charge and will include a fashion show. Throughout the afternoon, visitors can participate in demonstrations of Pickering's various 55-plus programs which include tai chi, pickleball, and putting. A representative from Durham Regional Police Service will inform participants about what scams older adults are susceptible to and how to keep safe.

RetailValue$30 COURTESY of our Sponsor Fall 2017 Ajax Pickering News Advertiser The time to play nice is over Canada’s obituary will say ‘Played nice. Died Young’ A recent meet and greet for NDP leader- ship hopeful Jagmeet Singh became a snapshot of something brewing in Can- ada. Mr. Singh was verbally assaulted by an angry heckler who got up in his face, yelling about Sharia law and the Muslim Brotherhood, then demanding that no one touch her when his aides and supporters approached. I believe one of the reasons Prime Minis- ter Justin Trudeau keeps saying “diversity is our strength” is because it’s his code word for “sit or stay” to a violent yet sometimes invisible pit bull in our midst. But Mr. Singh seems to have code words too, getting supporters to chant his motto — “love and courage” over the heckler, which might translate for “Down, boy!” He also said to her, “We welcome you. We love you and we believe in your rights.” If words have the power to act like a gun, then why would I believe in your right to shoot me? Because I also have the right to shoot you? This is crazy! We are playing nice with something that isn’t nice — racism and religious hatred. If we fol- low these two men, Canada’s obituary will say, “Played nice. Died Young.” But we do need to be able to discuss our dif- ferences and ask our questions, especially if we desire to build relationships, without being labelled a racist or a hater. Canada doesn’t look like it did just a few years ago and we need to be able to say that out loud and discuss what that fact means for us as a nation. If Mr. Singh wins in October, he will be the first federal leader of colour selected by party members in Canada. Several publications have asked the question, "Is Canada ready for its first non-white federal leader?" That suggests that one, Canada is lily white; two, that Canada is an old boys' club that only lets its own kind in at a certain level of lead- ership; and three, that Canada isn’t ready. It only takes one person to break through the glass ceiling and change the present reality and Mr. Singh seems well on his way to doing so. Some may focus on the colour of his skin because it’s a little safer than what is on his head — a tur- ban. Mr. Singh is also a Sikh. Now this is indeed a double-whammy for Canada. Oh, let us rise to the challenge of what lies ahead! — Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is passionate about truth in current affairs. She can be reached at: asrjseesit@ gmail.com Renae Jarrett Guest columnist We Own It campaign asks Pickering for support to keep public services in public hands Kristen Calis KCalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — A movement of cit- izens, community groups and organi- zations acting to keep public services public has asked Pickering council for support. The Ontario Public Service Employees Union’s We Own It cam- paign wants to protect communities from privatization and is looking for support from local municipalities. Mobilizers spoke to Pickering councillors at the executive commit- tee meeting on Sept. 5. The campaign’s model munici- pal motion asks that municipalities call a moratorium on privatizing or outsourcing any of its public servic- es without first undertaking a pub- lic review of the privatization or out- sourcing proposal. It also wants them to public- ly disclose all public services that are privatized and outsourced, then review all of those with a view to insourcing them in order to lower costs and improve services. The mobilizers said the cam- paign can be tweaked, but provided this template as an example of the type of commitments they would like to see. Councillors have not yet made a move to support the request. Ward 2 regional Coun. Bill McLean asked the members if they wanted all outsourcing stopped. Mobilizer Andrew Parker said they want to see rigorous attempts to keep services public before they are out- sourced to private companies. “We’re just looking for a little more transparency and more attempts at keeping our public services public,” he said. 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 2 1 , 2 0 1 7 15 AP 10% OFF furniture, patio, major and small appliances, mattresses, vacuums, confectionery, toys, personal-care electrics, cookware, bakeware and gadgets with any tender.

Cabernet, Chardonnay, Viognier, Mourvèdre (or Matro) and especially Shiraz have excelled in Cyprus' favourable cli- mate. But it is the Indigenous spe- cies, some brought back from the brink of extinction, that are mak- ing their mark. Many Cypriot wineries are now making a strong effort in experimenting with and develop- ing vineyards dedicated solely to native Indigenous varieties. While many maintain 'bread and butter crops' of international grapes they have commitment to their histor- ic wines. For example at Vouni Panayia, a winery in the southwestern part of Cyprus, dedicates its full ener- gy to the indigenous species of Cyprus. One such grape called the Pomara is regarded as a very rare grape variety, with big and com- pact cluster and big berries resist drought, disease and even pests due to the thickness of its skin. An aromatic grape, it lends itself well to barrel aging and blending giv- ing exotic fruit and watermelon flavours. The winery owner, Andreas Kyriakides, is very proud of the winery — the first private win- ery in Cyprus — founded in 1987. Today this winery produces other indigenous varieties, such as Xynisteri, Spourtiko (white) and Maratheftiko, Yiannoudi (red). The late great Alexis Zambartes spent most of his life researching the indigenous grapes of Cyprus and rediscovered some 20 spe- cies among which was the Moro- kanella — a grape that was very prominent prior to the Ottoman occupation in the 16th century, but declined to the heavy taxa- tion imposed by them. The grape is slowly making headway though only three wineries produce it. The Zambartes winery con- tinues to produce first-rate indig- enous wine along with standard varieties. They use the Lefkada grape, for example, to blend very well with other red grapes such as Shiraz (Syrah) and produce first rate wine. The Fikardos winery has made great inroads to Cypriot Indig- enous species. The winery in Paphos was the first to produce the Spourtiko grape wine in Cyprus. This very rare Cypri- ot white grape variety was much ignored by vine-growers in Cyprus, but is now showing strength. Spourtiko produces a light wine with cit- rus, apple and passion fruit flavours. So it goes, newer wineries such as Ezousa Winery in the Kannaviou area continue the work started by the first wineries. To support the local grape varieties and wineries, many of the country's restaurants are serving only local wine. That may be a les- son many countries should take. — Chuck Byers is a member of Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada. He has written three books on Wine/Food.

We’ll see consistently low to mid-20s for the next 10 days,” Hamilton said. “It’s going to be one of the longest stretches of dry weather we’ve seen for months.” The pleasant September forecast, of course, comes on the heels of a summer that saw above- normal amounts of precipitation in the region. “This is sort of an encore for summer,” Hamilton said. Above-normal temps may persist for some time to come, with no significant snow expected until November, the meteorologist said. “We have to keep in mind that normal is rapid- ly changing,” Hamilton said, noting there’s typical- ly a rapid decline in temperatures as autumn takes hold. “We lose the most degrees during September and October.” As for the question on everyone’s mind, the best prediction for winter right now is that the sea- son will be normal, without the extended thaws we experienced last year. “We’re already starting to use the term classic Canadian winter,” Hamilton said. 32 30 Nannies for ChildrenCare-givers for the Elderly FULL/PARTTIME,LIVE IN or LIVE OUT,LONGTERM ORSHORTTERM, 3 HOURS MINIMUM Planahead for your family care needs GiveUsa calltoday! www.cardinalnannies.com Imoyra@cardinalnannies.com 905.666.2228 or 1.800.219.8059 CARDINAL PEOPLE CARETM 32 Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)is a short-term,goal-oriented,evidence-based alternativetomedication.

Paint Squad can transform your kitchen cabinets from ‘Outdated to Outstanding!’ inplentyoftimeforallyour holiday entertaining!“Why renovate when you can refinish your existing cabi- nets and save money?”, says Jeff Hamilton, owner. You will be amazed by the look, and happy with the price and time that is saved! Most refinishing jobs can be done in about 2 weeks from start to finish! Paint Squad uses an HVLP spray system - NOT a paint- brush or roller, so the finish is smooth and looks professional. Without the proper equipment or prep work that Paint Squad utilizes, your kitch- en could look like it was done by a DIY-er. Do you really want to risk that in the area where you entertain guests the most? Our non-toxic coatings can be tinted to ANY colour you want and we use the same lacquer that custom kitchen door manufacturers use. Are you moving soon and don’t want to spend a for- tune to update your kitchen before you list?“Real estate agentsandstagersaresome of our best customers be- cause they know that Paint Squad can quickly up- date kitchen cabinets when a home is going on themarket!”,continuesJeff. “Spend a little money on re- finishing now and you will have a better return on your investment when you sell. Plus, in today’s go-green society, you’ll save the old doors from going into the landfill!” For many people, Paint Squad Cabinet Refinish- ing is the right choice in today’s tough economy. It offers tremendous value for those who want to up- date their kitchens, but don’t want to spend a for- tune.“At Paint Squad, we can give you a high-end look without the high-end cost!” Call us at 905-492-3155 and we can update intime for the holidays.

Falkenberg and other Durham artists are showing work in Oshawa from Sept. 30 to Oct. 7. The exhibition recalls Durham Art Fest, held in downtown Oshawa in the early 1990s. Week-long show opens Sept. 30 in Oshawa DURHAM — A weeklong art show in Oshawa starting on Culture Days weekend will recall four years of shows 25 years ago. When tough times hit in the area in the early 1990s, Durham Region art- ists transformed empty spaces into pop-up gallery spaces in downtown Oshawa. Durham Art Fest ran from 1992 to 1995. And for eight days, starting on Sept. 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., visitors to Gallery 67 can take a look back. “Before there was Oshawa Space Invaders (2013-2014), a group of ener- getic artists decided to use a reces- sion-wary downtown as their blank canvas and over four consecutive years transformed the downtown into a mini SOHO every September,” says organizer Steven Frank, who with co- organizer Gary Greenwood ran Dur- ham Art Fest. “Many of these Durham artists have made their mark locally and on the national stage. Coincid- ing with Culture Days on Sept. 30 and running until the following Saturday, this 25th anniversary exhibition will include selected works from Durham Art Fest.” Frank, who curated the show, will be sharing some multimedia documen- tation from Durham Art Fest. And of course there will be art — sculpture by Bill Lishman and Edward Falkenberg plus work by Peter Wilde, Sean McQuay, Mary Ellen McQuay, Garfield Ferguson, Maralynn Cherry and Jay McCarten, among others. Gallery 67 is the home of the Oshawa Art Association in the Holiday Inn Express at 67 Simcoe St. N. The official show opening is Sept. 30 at 4 p.m. at the gallery, at the corner of Richmond and Simcoe streets. See the exhibition daily between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. On Sept. 30 and Oct. 7, you can view the works until 6 p.m. Durham Art Fest — 25 years later Durham students can join the concert band DURHAM — Registrations are being accepted for the Durham Regional Concert Band. It’s a program hosted by G.L. Roberts Collegiate and Vocational Institute and music teacher Paul Noble-Gresty in Oshawa. “This is an opportunity for the students of Durham Region who have some playing experience in grades 7 to 12 who want to be part of a new music experience,” he says. “We want to give students an opportunity to play in a group that will play music well, have a good experience and gain a sense of accomplishment and be able to perform at a high level.” The band will use standard instrumentation, including brass, woodwinds, bass and percussion, and will play at least three concerts in 2017/18. Interested students are invited to G.L. Roberts, 399 Chaleur Ave., on Sept. 27 from 3 to 5 p.m. Or complete a registration form beforehand. Contact Noble-Gresty at paul.noblegresty@ddsb.ca for a form or to make an appointment. Band rehearsals start on Oct. 4 and will be held weekly from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Many of these Durham artists have made their mark locally and on the national stage.

Wilson and her boy- friend, Jim, didn’t plan on getting married. The Oshawa resident, who lived in Ajax for roughly 25 years, had been married before and she had three daughters. Jini was 38 and Jim was 50. One of her daughters once said to her: “I don’t like saying Jim is your boyfriend, can you get married?” So, one day in the kitchen of her Ajax home, with Jini’s daughters present, Jim knelt down on one knee and proposed. Jini says they had a wonderful life togeth- er. Jim was caring and attentive and friends would joke that they wanted to borrow him. She admits he spoiled her. “He brought this joy and laughter; he was a great guy,” she says. Jim is alive, but living with Alzheimer’s disease in a Durham nursing home. Jini has written The Shadow Thief: A Couple’s Journey of Changed Love into the Dark- ness of Alzheimer’s. It’s a memoir of their relationship and how Alzheimer’s disease took it away. She describes it as “a prolonged bereavement” watching Jim’s condition deteriorate. Through her experience, she offers advice and encouragement to caregivers. “A lot of caregivers really don’t get the support they should get from family and friends,” Jini says. “They’re kind of left alone.” Her message to them is to not let Alzheim- er’s disease consume their lives. “You can still cry, you can still hurt, but you can still have a life that is meaningful,” she says. Jim, a strapping construction worker, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, diseases of the heart muscle that over time weaken the heart and makes it less able to pump blood through the body. He had to stop working. “He ended up being the house husband ... and I would work in the city,” Jini says. She says her husband never complained. He kept the house clean and helped with the girls. When she arrived home from work, the house would be tidy and din- ner would be ready. On one occasion, Jini returned home to find Jim holding a wooden eagle in his hand. While he had no artistic training, he discovered a skill for carving, using cedar from old fences and even showing his work. Jim ended up driving Jini to work in Toronto every day and picking her up at the Ajax GO Station. She began noticing things. She would arrive in Ajax at the end of a work day and Jim wouldn’t be there to get her. “Looking back, I think he used to get lost,” Jini says. He didn’t keep the house as neat as before, but “bluffed” an explanation to cover for himself, saying he had been busy. Meanwhile, the girls were growing up, leaving the house, and Jim’s heart con- dition was worsening. They decided to sell the Ajax house and moved to an Oshawa bungalow. When Jim said he didn’t know how to hang blinds, Jini was shocked. Removed from famil- iar surroundings, Jim was evidently dis- turbed. He accused people of stealing and would stare vacantly. He sometimes left the house and once Jini called the police to find him. A sister recommended that Jim be assessed. He had moderate or middle- stage Alzheimer’s disease when he went into a nursing home a decade ago and is now in late-stage. Jini sees him often and sometimes when she mentions something familiar, he will smile. She says many caregivers need to be reminded that they have to look after themselves as well. “You have to learn to live a parallel life,” Jini says. “You get consumed by the disease.” She made a list of things she wanted to do when she was younger, but didn’t. She belly danced, bought a guitar and a Har- ley-Davidson, and travelled. In a book store, and feeling down one day, Jini says she was about to leave when her purse knocked a book off of the shelf. It was Metroland Durham Region columnist Neil Crone’s Enter Laughing — The Early Years. Reading it, Jini says it was the first time she’d laughed in a long time. She met Crone, who urged her to write a book and did the first edit. The Shadow Thief is available on Ama- zon, Kindle, and Createspace. Visit the Facebook page, Jini. Wilson560.

Racket sports are usually the most common culprit, but the problem can occur in judo, kayaking, dragon boat, hockey and archery, which all involve use of the hands. The injury is caused by straining the muscles of the forearm responsible for extending the fingers and wrist, as well as supination (turning outward) of the wrist and forearm. The same muscles strongly contract during gripping. The tendons of these muscles come together in a com- mon extensor tendon originating on the outside of the elbow joint. When the muscles are overused they become shortened and strained, which pulls the common tendon from its attach- ment to bone. These micro-tears cause inflammation on the outside of the elbow. To avoid the problem it is important to ramp up sport specific movements at the start of the season to avoid early muscle strain situations. Also, incorpo- rating a routine of dynamic stretching before activity, and static stretching after activity decreases the chance of tendini- tis injuries. If untreated, symptoms of lateral epi- condylitis at times can get severe. Basic tasks like writing, using silverware to eat and typing on a keyboard or phone may become difficult. It is important to recog- nize symptoms early and take action. Treatment includes specific stretching of the muscle group involved. Decreasing activity of the affected hand and wrist for a period of time is also recommended. Uti- lizing anti-inflammatory methods such as localized icing at the tendon attachment on the lateral elbow is useful. As pain symptoms improve eccentric exercises of the forearm are given to help strengthen the tendon and muscles to prevent reoccurrence. Understanding the signs of early symp- toms helps to avoid future reoccurrence of the injury. It is important to avoid over- use and repetitive motion of the hand, wrist and forearm. If you are suffering from lateral elbow pain, I recommend seeing a manual health practitioner to assess the injury, give advice on sport specific modifica- tions or rest times, and to provide treat- ment for relief.

Cook, a 31-year-old Ajax resident, tasted defeat for the first time as a pro- fessional on Sept. 9, falling in the ninth round of a scheduled 12-round super welterweight bout to Kanat Islam before 15,000 pro-Islam fans in his home coun- try of Kazakhstan. Cook, who’s now 18-1 since turn- ing pro in 2011, will likely have to take a step back in his career and fight again at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga in December, where he has appeared 13 times in the past while making his way up the pecking order. “One little loss isn’t going to hurt me,” said Cook, reached by phone in Cal- gary where he was spending some time with his brother on his way home from Kazakhstan. “We just want to get to that spot again and hopefully this time win, obviously. Now we’ve got to work back up and see what happens. Like I’ve always said, I’d fight anybody, anywhere. I’m sure it’s not going to be worse than Kazakhstan.” Cook put a lot on the line in accept- ing the fight with the 32-year-old Islam, who won an Olympic bronze medal as an amateur and is now ranked 12th in the world with a 25-0 pro record. He quit his job to train full-time with coach Mike Guyett of the Ajax Boxing Club, and also sold a house in Courtice to move back with his parents in Ajax while a new house is being built. Although he had by far his biggest payday as a result, Cook was looking more than anything for an upset vic- tory, which would have vaulted him up the rankings and inched him closer to a crack at a world title match. Instead, he has dropped in the world rankings to 44th after being dominat- ed on the judges’ scorecards, getting knocked down three times, and ulti- mately having the fight stopped by the referee early in the ninth round. “I’m sure it will make me a lot better. I hate losing, but I learned a lot about myself. I can take a good punch,” said Cook, adding he came away unhurt and felt he caught Islam with a few good punches. “I think overall it was a really good experience for when we get back to a level like that again.” Cook came away miffed at a few tac- tics he felt were aimed at taking him off his game in Kazakhstan, including con- troversy over the monitoring of hand- taping before the fight, and the with- holding of money he was promised upon arrival — which he ultimately did receive. But, while the crowd was vociferously in favour of Islam during the fight, Cook said he was treated far better than he was in Montreal in his previous fight with Steven Butler, where he was pelted with debris upon winning by technical knock- out. And, having arrived in Kazakhstan nearly two weeks before the fight to pre- pare, he was amazed at the celebrity sta- tus he attained thanks to its heavy pro- motion. “The people over there were nothing but great. I didn’t expect that,” he said. “Anywhere I went, they knew who I was and wanted to take a picture with me. I’ve never had that before. I’d go to the mall, people were stopping me. I’d go out for dinner, people were stopping me. It was nuts.” Cook has already resumed training and is preparing for an obstacle course racing world championship in Colling- wood next month. But his main focus remains in the ring, where he says he will stay for at least a year and continue to work at it full time while trying to land another big bout. “I’ve got to figure out a career, obvi- ously — I can’t be boxing the rest of my life — but for now I think it’s the perfect opportunity for the next year to train full time and maybe we’ll get another oppor- tunity,” he said. “I fought one of the best in the world. I took a chance. The main thing here is I didn’t get hurt. I did get dropped three times, but at the end of the day I was fine.” Cook tastes defeat for first time Photo by Carlos Osorio / Toronto Star AJAX -- Ajax boxer Brandon Cook removed his hand wraps after a training session at the Ajax Boxing Club. Cook lost for the first time as a pro on Sept. 9, to Kanat Islam in Islam’s home country of Kazakhstan. 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 2 1 , 2 0 1 7 35 APSportS photo by Abhinav Nirula / oJHL Images PICKERING -- Josh Argier of the Pickering Panthers battled for the puck off the faceoff with Adam Petric of the Stouffville Spirit in the Panthers’ Ontario Junior Hockey League home opener. Argier had a goal and assist, but the Panthers lost 3-2. DURHAM — After opening the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) season on a high note, the Pickering Panthers tasted defeat in their next two games of the sea- son. The first was a more difficult pill to swal- low for the Panthers, who were celebrating their home opener and hoping to build off a 5-4 win in Markham a week earlier. Connor Evans of the Stouffville Spir- it spoiled the party, however, scoring all three goals in a 3-2 decision for the visitors, including the winner with 30 seconds left in regulation. Evans, who’s from Uxbridge, twice erased one-goal Pickering leads before notching the winner. Steven Elliott opened the scoring for the Panthers 17:24 into the game, while Josh Argier, who was acquired from Stouffville in the off-season, notched the other short- handed. Nathan Torchia, a prospect of the Oshawa Generals, made 24 saves for the win in goal, while Ethan Langevin stopped 20 for the Panthers in his OJHL debut. The Panthers were then beaten 5-1 by the Georgetown Raiders in the first game of the Governors’ Showcase tournament Tuesday in Buffalo. Davis Teigen-Katsumi gave the Pan- thers a lead in the second period, but the Raiders tied it before the period was done and scored four unanswered in the third against goalie Adam Wisco. The Panthers have another game in Buf- falo Thursday against Burlington and then host the Wellington Dukes Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Panthers follow up win with losses Mixed bag of results for Durham College baseball, soccer teams OSHAWA — Emily Glendinning tasted perfection with the Durham Lords women’s softball team Friday night. Glendinning, a first-year sports manage- ment student from Plattsville, Ont., became the first Durham Lords pitcher since 2009 to throw a perfect game, in a 10-0, six-inning win over Seneca to complete a doubleheader sweep. She struck out nine of the 18 batters she faced. "Honestly, it's something you might get once in your career as a pitcher, but it's not something I think about because I just go into the game with the mindset that I want to pitch my best game," Glendinning said in a news release. "I've just been working hard lately and have been hitting my spots, so it was nice to have a great game, but more important that we came out on top as a team." Kayla MacLean was the last Lords pitcher to toss a perfect game, on Oct. 4, 2009 against the Conestoga Condors. Glendinning was backed up offensively by Emily Hill, who went 3-for-4 with a home run on two RBIs, as well as Marina Christie of Pickering and Ashley Black, who each picked up a pair of RBIs. To open the night, Black pitched a one- hitter, striking out six en route to a 7-0 victory. "Coming into this season I was just watching Ashley, who is a great pitcher and someone I look up to, and was honestly just trying to do everything I could to get to her level and pitch a good game,” Glendinning said. “It's an amazing feeling to find out I did that, but if I didn't have my team behind me tonight I wouldn't have been able to do it." • • • Men’s baseball: The men’s baseball team had a mixed bag of results over a busy week- end, sweeping a doubleheader over the defending national champion Fanshawe Falcons on Saturday afternoon at Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium, only to be swept the next day by the St. Clair Saints. Logan Stewart hit a walk-off home run as the Lords completed the Saturday sweep, a 9-8 extra inning victory following an 8-2 win. Trailing Fanshawe 8-7 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Stewart hit a two-run home run to give the Lords the win, his sec- ond of the day after a solo shot in earlier vic- tory. "It was pretty special," Stewart said in a press release. "I haven't done that too many times in my career. Playing for the Oshawa Juniors and here for the last two years, I have got used to the park and I gave it my all." Stewart was 5-for-8 at the plate with four RBI and three runs scored over the two games, and was a single shy of hitting for the cycle in the nightcap. The celebration didn’t last long, however, as St. Clair defeated Durham 9-0 and 10-7 Sunday to drop the Lords’ record to 3-3 in conference play and 4-7 overall. • • • Men’s soccer: The No. 4-ranked men's soccer team was upset 2-0 Friday by the Fleming Knights at Vaso's field, but rebound- ed the next day for a 4-0 shutout win over the St. Lawrence Vikings. The Lords were struggling to find the next most of the weekend until the 51st minute of Saturday’s game, when Pickering’s Ryan Cullen finished off a cross to open the flood- gates. Bruce Cullen of Pickering and Matthew Berry of Oshawa soon after scored two min- utes apart and Stephane Ahanda finished off the scoring in the 83rd minute. Dylan Yeo earned his second clean sheet of the season. The Lords improved to 2-1-0 in confer- ence play and 4-3-1 overall. • • • Women’s soccer: The women's soccer team extended its point streak to three games following a 0-0 draw on the road against the St. Lawrence Vikings Saturday. On Friday, goals by Erin Kappel from Ajax and Natassha Hassenstein from Oshawa lift- ed the Lords to a 2-1 victory over the Fleming Knights, the team’s second win in a row. Early in the match, Lords goalkeeper Jayden Ball of Oshawa received a red card for stepping out of her box and playing the ball with her hands. As a result, Durham was forced to play with only 10 players while Oshawa’s Shae-Lynn Young came into the game in relief of Ball. Glendinning pitcher perfect for Durham Lords Emily Glendinning UOIT women’s soccer team remains unbeaten Pickering’s Cassandra Sribny scores fourth goal of the season, 29th of her OUA career OSHAWA -- Canada’s No. 2-ranked UOIT women’s soccer team pushed its season-long OUA winning streak to seven games with a 2-0 shutout over the Uni- versity of Toronto Sunday, sweeping the season series against the Varsity Blues. UOIT sits atop of the OUA eastern conference standings at 7-0-0, five points ahead of the Ottawa Gee-Gees (5-1-1). The Ridgebacks are one of five teams in the country without a loss or a tie, includ- ing No. 1-ranked Laval (4-0-0). Cassandra Sribny of Pickering and Katherine Koehler-Grassau scored sec- ond-half goals, while Victoria Savage earned the shutout, her fourth of the sea- son. Sribny now has four goals for the sea- son and 29 in her UOIT career. 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 2 1 , 2 0 1 7 36 AP Call: 1-866-496-4031 Visit: triOSdurham.com Campus: 200 John St. W.
