Trent, which has campuses in Durham and Peterborough, is slated to start the new program in fall 2018 - applications are open now. The program consists of eight months of online courses, fol- lowed by a four-month intern- ship. "The M.BMA program was de- signed to fill a gap in course- based graduate programs in the environmental sciences," says Dr. Dennis Murray, a biology profes- sor and Canada research chair in integrative wildlife conservation. Trent's new M.BMA program was created with support from a $542,500 grant from eCampus On- tario.

"At last we have a report that shows a pathway to prosperity with no need to pave over a prime natural asset," said Land Over Landings chair Mary Dela- ney. "We can see how real jobs would start to be creat- ed almost immediately, and how the area could flourish. It's a breath of fresh air after more than four decades of nothing but promises of jobs at a never- never airport." Former Toronto mayor and Greenbelt champion David Crombie hosted the event at which the study was released at Brougham Hall on April 3. He recalled 1972, when the federal government ex- propriated 18,600 acres of farmland in north Picker- ing and earmarked it for a future airport. "People lost their homes, people had their lives turned upside down," he said. He referred to the Great- er Toronto Airport Au- thority's December report that declared the current five-runway system at Pearson International Air- port is expected to be suffi- cient through 2037. "Nowhere in the report do they mention Picker- ing," he said. Since 1975, Transport Canada has leased out one- year farming arrange- ments. The study found cur- rent land being farmed on 6,700 acres is primarily used to produce cash crops such as soybeans, corn and wheat. The federal government in recent years has trans- ferred more than 10,000 acres to Parks Canada to be part of Rouge National Ur- ban Park, and recently ex- tended the one-year leases to 10 years. But the authors of the study feel even this is not long enough to encourage farming beyond cash crops. "I would never plant an apple orchard if I had a 10- year lease," said Groene- wegen. Moving to 30-year re- newable leases would pro- vide certainty for farmers to make investment deci- sions. Annual agricultural output on the lands is cur- rently $3.7 million annual- ly, and if the leases were ex- tended to 30 years, that would increase to $25.1 mil- lion, the study found. This would result in economic activity within the Dur- ham-York region increas- ing from $4.4 million to $33.3 million, and across Ontario from $7 million to $48 million. Jobs required to sustain farm output would increase from 32 in the region to 450 and from 55 across Ontario to 612. Tax revenues received from all levels of govern- ment would increase from $1.6 million to $12.3 million across Ontario, with the federal government receiv- ing $5.8 million. Provincial GDP, would increase from $2.3 million to $20.6 million in the region and across Ontario from $3.7 million to $29.6 million. "This is much more than agriculture," said Groenewegen. Factor in agri-tourism, similar to areas like Niaga- ra Region and Prince Ed- ward County, and expendi- tures in the farm sector would go from $3.7 million to $103.5 million, increas- ing economic activity with- in the region to $130.4 mil- lion and to $221.2 million across Ontario. The num- ber of jobs would increase to 1,459 in the region and 2,051 across Ontario. GDP would be $103.1 million across Ontario, and the feds would receive $20.6 million. A one-time investment of $57.7 million would be needed to rejuvenate the lands. The authors say the land is suited for a re- search and innovation cen- tre, as well as a farming in- cubation centre for those wishing to pursue farming. Kubursi called the lands "an intersection of nature, culture, agriculture, and history." The report also noted their proximity to a large urban population. Pickering-Uxbridge MP Jennifer O'Connell has long agreed that agricul- ture and agri-tourism would benefit the area. "I've seen it elsewhere and I see the potential," she said. She's been in contact with the minister of trans- port, but noted he is also awaiting the results of an aviation sector analysis that is underway by KPMG.

Local parent Juliet Young was recently at the Central library branch in Pickering with her eight-year-old son, when he pointed out an illustration in a book from the Asterix series, which shows a black man with exaggerated facial features, hold- ing a fan near a white woman. The illustration looks like "blackface from a minstrel show," says Young, who says she was "sickened" by the image. After flipping through the book, Young says she quickly spotted more concerning depic- tions of black characters. "As a black mother and teach- er, I just felt absolute and utter discouragement and shock," she says. "My son had this look on his face . I just feel sick that he was exposed to it." The Asterix series of French comics dates back to 1959. The books follow the adven- tures of title character Asterix and his sidekick Obelix as their village of Gauls resists Roman oc- cupation in the year 50 BC. The books have been translat- ed into more than 100 languages and are commonly found in both English and French in public li- braries and school libraries throughout Ontario. When Young showed the illus- trations to a staff member at the Pickering library, she says the Asterix books were promptly re- moved from the shelf. Cathy Grant, chief executive officer for the Pickering Public Library, confirms that the Aste- rix books at the Central library branch were temporarily taken off the shelf for review. A letter sent to Young this week says the library intends to keep the books in its collection, citing the popularity of the Aste- rix series, positive reviews of the books -- and the need for the li- brary to defend intellectual free- dom. "We live in complex times and must strive to maintain an empa- thetic understanding of each oth- er. In this case, a parent was con- cerned regarding negative por- trayal and that is understand- able," Grant says. "In response, staff helped her to find materials with more positive role models and I believe that this is a more powerful and principled re- sponse rather than censoring li- brary materials." Grant notes that the library's role is to provide access to diverse opinions, including those that are "unorthodox" and says the Pickering Public Library en- dorses the statements of the Ca- nadian Library Association and Ontario Library Association re- garding intellectual freedom. Young says she is also con- cerned that the Asterix books can be found in many school librar- ies, including her children's French-language Catholic School in Durham, which is part of the Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir. Officials with the French Catholic board say the Asterix books are currently being as- sessed by the board's head librar- ian who will make a recommen- dation on how to go forward. " . the Conseil scolaire catho- lique MonAvenir has communi- cated the issue to other Ontario French-language school boards, both Catholic and public and col- lectively, the group has asked the Ministry of Education to man- date the Centre de leadership en éducation to conduct a review of such series of books in order to determine whether these comply with policies in matters of equity and inclusivity," says Mikale-An- drée Joly, director of corporate relations for MonAvenir. Parents have also raised con- cerns about the availability of As- terix books in Durham District School Board and Durham Cath- olic District School board librar- ies. Michelle Patterson says it wasn't until the third or fourth time that one of the books came home with one of her stepsons, who attend a DCDSB school, that she noticed "offensive" illustra- tions of black characters. "This reminds me of some- thing you would see 100 years ago, I couldn't believe that this was in the school," she says. "There is so much talk right now about race issues . I don't think this is the message kids should be getting." DCDSB superintendent Tra- cey Barill confirmed that records show 15 of the board's 38 elemen- tary school libraries have one or more of the Asterix books in their collection. "A school library can have thousands of books in it . our school librarians do go through the books and try to pull any- thing that is outdated and so on," Barill says. "But any time a par- ent brings a concern we certainly would review the content of the books and resources." The DDSB said in a statement that the Asterix books are being reviewed. "We are looking into the ap- propriateness of this particular series and reviewing its content accordingly," the statement says. "We value equity and diversity within the learning materials available throughout our board. We do appreciate contri- butions from students, parents and the public regarding any ma- terials they may feel should be brought to our attention." Young says she is pleased that the books are getting a second look from library and school board staff, noting many parents may not be aware of the images their children are being exposed to. "I have a strong assumption that there are a lot of parents who have seen these books, but don't realize what's in them." EDUCATION 'Racist' illustrations prompt Durham school boards, library to take a closer look at popular children's series Pickering parent Juliet Young has raised concerns that the Pickering Public Library and some school libraries in Durham have the Asterix graphic novels on their shelves. The books include depictions of black characters that Young describes as 'overtly racist'.

What- ever matching set of per- sonal and emotional bag- gage we manage to acquire for ourselves through our tenure here pretty much stays with us until we ei- ther a) punch out or b) de- cide to actually sit down and unpack it. You can change houses, spouses, careers and countries, but that stuff will come right along with you. Not even Air Canada can lose that luggage. That's all on us. If it's any consolation, none of us is immune. Ev- erybody has baggage. We're all lugging around stuff, no matter how pow- erful or enlightened we think we are. Since the time of his infancy, Ulys- ses S. Grant never ap- peared nude in front of anyone. Winston Chur- chill, on the other hand, loved being naked in his office. Nikola Tesla would never touch anything round and for all we know Mother Teresa couldn't get to sleep without watch- ing a Jean Claude Van Damme movie. Who knows? To be human is to have baggage. Jesus under- stood this perfectly when he said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." And that business about pointing out the mote in your brother's eye while ignoring the two by six in your own? Spot on. Jesus knew about bag- gage. He probably couldn't stand to be in the same room as hummus or some- thing. But he understood. Likewise, I'm sure he understood the value of never adding to someone else's luggage burden but rather, doing your best to help them unpack. Which is to say, to love them . all of them. Some of us get lucky enough to fall in with peo- ple like this. Special peo- ple whose souls are per- haps a little older and wis- er than the rest of us. Who understand that everyone is carrying something and that it's very often the work of a lifetime to rid ourselves of it. Given that truth, the next time you're irked or peeved by someone's per- ceived issue, don't throw it back in their face. Open up that trunk and help them put away some of it. –Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column They say you can’t take it with you Neil Crone says we all have baggage Why social work? As a high school graduate ap- proaching my first year of undergraduate studies, my go-to answer to this often- posed question was some- thing like this: I want to help people. Being a lifelong resi- dent of the Durham Region, I chose Trent University Durham GTA because I was drawn to its small, friendly, and centrally-located cam- pus. I definitely made the right choice - both with my university and my pro- gram. Social work at Trent Durham has had a profound effect on me, both personal- ly and professionally. The program is exciting and challenging. As stu- dents, we learn to critically identify, analyze, and work within social structures that oppress others and per- petuate inequality. We dis- cover not only what it means to help others in counselling-based settings, but how to advocate for transformative change where the voices of margin- alized people are being heard. Faculty in the pro- gram are also committed to supporting their students; they challenge the notion of traditional classroom dy- namics with vibrant discus- sion and dialogue and al- ways incorporate multiple ways of learning. Trent's social work pro- gram also provides students with an opportunity to build meaningful commu- nity connections through hands-on, diverse field placements - preparing us for success in our future ca- reers. My recent placement with the AIDS Committee of Durham Region was an in- spirational learning experi- ence. I gained valuable knowledge about barriers facing my community, and was able to advocate for change alongside an incred- ible team who always sought to work with an anti- oppressive, client-centred approach. No matter where your in- terests lie - Trent Durham has the tools to ensure you have a meaningful learning experience and establish lasting bonds with commu- nity partners. Now, when people ask "why social work?", my re- sponse sounds more like this: I want to empower oth- ers to meet their self-identi- fied goals, while striving for greater social change. Though I may not know where social work will take me, I know that Trent Uni- versity Durham GTA has left me with endless oppor- tunities and inspiration to continue my studies in this field alongside peers, facul- ty and community partners in the Durham Region. –Dorothy Koziorz is a third-year bachelor of so- cial work student at Trent University Durham GTA My social work journey at Trent University Durham Dorothy Koziorz happy with her choice of program DOROTHY KOZIORZ Column NEIL CRONE Column OPINION 7 | Pic k e r i n g N e w s A d v e r t i s e r | P | W e d n e s d a y , A p r i l 1 1 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m Advertising Feature 27 tips to drive up the sale price of your Ajax/Pickering home Ajax/Pickering - Because your home may well be your largest asset, selling it is probably one of the most important decisions you will make in your life.

GetyourfreespecialreportNOW DURHAM - A Lakeridge Health program targeting longtime smokers is aimed at catching lung cancer - a disease that kills more than 21,000 Canadians each year - in its early, curable stage. Lung cancer is the most common form of cancer in Canada and kills more peo- ple than colorectal, breast and prostate cancer com- bined, according to the Ca- nadian Cancer Society. To combat the deadly dis- ease, Ontario has launched the screening pilot project for people at high-risk at three hospital systems in- cluding Lakeridge Health. Through the program peo- ple aged 55 to 74 who have smoked daily for at least 20 years - not necessarily con- secutively - can undergo a free CT scan at the Oshawa hospital to check for the dis- ease. Dr. John Dickie, chief of surgery and section chief of thoracic surgery at Lake- ridge Health, explains that the five-year survival rate for people diagnosed with lung cancer is less than 20 per cent. "Which is why lung can- cer was targeted for screen- ing in general to try to im- prove that," he said. "The main reason that rate is so low is that most people who are diagnosed with lung cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage when lung cancer is already not cur- able." Oshawa resident Su- zanne Bligdon recently re- ceived a CT scan through the pilot program. Now 65, Bligdon has been a smoker since she was 18. She was connected to the program by her family doc- tor following her annual physical. As she gets older, Bligdon said she's become more aware of her fallibility and understand the risks of smoking. "I know what I do is a fool- ish, foolish thing, I've known for years," she said. "Those of us who smoke, a lot of us don't enjoy the smokes we have, but it is an addiction." She said the CT process took less than a half-hour with the scan itself taking just a few minutes and said staff at Lakeridge were pleasant and professional. "I think the thing that stood out for me, other than the fact that it was very effi- cient, is they weren't judg- mental and that was very nice," said Bligdon. She explains that she was given an explanation of her results shortly after her scan so she wasn't left anx- iously waiting. Patients who are screened are assigned a rank from one to four based on suspicion of lung cancer and that dictates the follow up. Bligdon, who was ranked a two, will follow up with another scan in a year, but a higher rank would dic- tate more immediate action. Caught very early, Dickie said there is a more than 90 per cent cure rate for lung cancer. He explains that 80 to 85 per cent of lung cancers are related to smoking. "(Smokers) are at risk for lung cancer even if they feel fine," said Dickie. "We know those people can benefit from screening, and screen- ing can save lives and can save their life. Regardless of how long they've smoked, there's a benefit to being screened." The program kicked off last summer and uptake was a little slow, but Dickie said it has been increasing with people from across Durham and further including Peter- borough signing up. "We've already treated people with lung cancer de- tected through the pro- gram." Meanwhile Bligdon has signed up for a smoking ces- sation program that she was connected with following the CT scan. She said the process has created extra motivation to pursue quit- ting because she doesn't want to get a worse result in her next scan. "I'm not stupid, I do real- ize what I'm doing is abso- lutely asinine, it's un- healthy, it has significant other downsides to it ... it's not only me, it's a habit that affects people around me," said Bligdon. Patients can ask to be re- ferred to the screening pro- gram by their family physi- cian or they can call Lake- ridge Health at 905-576-8711, ext. 4449 for information. NEWS Lakeridge offers CT scans for longtime smokers Suzanne Bligdon is an Oshawa resident who recently participated in Lakeridge Health's lung cancer screening pilot program. The program is for long-time smokers who are at higher risk of developing lung cancer and involves undergoing a CT scan. Following her screening, Bligdon is now considering a smoking cessation program.

If you are, you might be tempted to run out and spend the money receive. But there are other uses for your mini-windfall. Here are a few suggestions. Invest in an RRSP. Use your refund to get an early start on this year’s contribution. Make up for missed RRSP contributions in the past.You’ll boost retirement savings and create a larger tax deduction this year or in future years. Pay off high-interest debt. Pay down credit card balances, personal loans or other expensive debt. Pay down your RRSP loan. If you borrowed money to make last years contribution, pay down the loan. Pay down the mortgage. Every dollar you put toward your mortgage is a dollar on which you won’t pay interest for the next 5, 10 or even 25 years. Contribute to an RESP. Put money into a Registered Education Savings Plan for you children or grandchildren. Of course, it won’t hurt to spend a little of your refund on yourself. Everybody needs to have some financial fun but try to limit it to 10% to 20%. Edward Jones, Member Canadian Investor Protection Fund DURHAM - Two Durham stu- dents have been awarded scholar- ships in recognition of their aca- demic achievements, community service and involvement with the Girls Inc. organization. Michelle Ramnaraine, a stu- dent at J. Clarke Richardson Colle- giate and Morgan Kool, a student at Sinclair Secondary School are among 23 Girls Inc. national schol- ars selected from across Canada and the United States. They are also recipients of the Lucile Miller Wright Scholarship - Ramnaraine has been awarded $20,000 and Kool received $5,000. The local young women are members of Girls Inc. of Durham, a nonprofit with a mission of inspir- ing girls to be "strong, smart and bold." "Girls Inc. has had such an amazing impact on my life, and I am so grateful," says Kool. "I'm ex- cited to use this towards further- ing my education in a field that needs more women." The Girls Inc. Lucile Miller Wright Scholarship program was created in 1992, when the female pi- lot and longtime supporter gave a bequest for scholarships designed for young women. Since 1993, more than $5.9 million in scholarships have been awarded. "We know that offering dynam- ic and girl-focused programs in many communities across Dur- ham Region is a critical strategy for helping girls complete school, prepare for financial indepen- dence, and have fulfilling and suc- cessful lives," says Girls Inc. exec- utive director Yvette Nechvatal- Drew.

Experienceeverything MusythingMuskoka has to offer in a refreshinglyything Muskok eshingly affordable and refreshingly dableand revitalized environmentdable and revitali It hasn’t taken long for Jim Szeman to make his mark as owner of the Pine Lodge Muskoka which is living up to its descriptor as the Hidden Gem of Muskoka — and then some. In just over a year since he took ownership last March, Szeman has overseen plenty of changes, both subtle and obvious, as he strives to make his guests’stay as complete and enjoyable as possible. His and those of his staff efforts have not gone unnoticed. In December, the Port Sydney & Utterson Chamber of Commerce recognized and awarded Pine Lodge Muskoka as the New Business of theYear, and in January, the 2017 Hospitality Hero Award followed. Making Szeman prouder yet, Pine Lodge Muskoka was just recognized by HotelsCombined with a 2018 Recognition of Excellence Award for guest satisfaction,“for consistently achieving the highest standards of customer service worldwide.” With www.hotelscombined.com getting 31-million hits per month, it’s a huge award for Pine Lodge Muskoka, putting it among the top three per cent worldwide for customer satisfaction. “It’s been a crazy year of course, but it’s been absolutely amazing in terms of the response we’ve received,”says Szeman.“We’ve come a long way in the first year.” About a two-hour drive north from Durham Region, the Pine Lodge Muskoka is located in Port Sydney, between Bracebridge and Huntsville. It offers a unique vacation experience for visitors no matter when they come, but golf season is always a huge draw, especially now that the lodge has partnered with ClubLink, home to three courses in Muskoka, each within an hour’s drive — the Grandview Golf Club in Huntsville, Rocky Crest Golf Club in Mactier, and The Lake Joseph Golf Club in Port Carling. Stay-and-play packages offer great variety and incredible value compared to booking your TheHiddenGemofMuskoka-GoFOREIt! accommodations and golf separately. A landmark in the area since 1927, Pine Lodge was completely renovated and revitalized in 2010, and now offers 10 guest rooms and four suites with over 2000 square feet of dining and lounge space that caters to a variety of unique meetings and events. Szeman speaks enthusiastically of the restaurant that has opened under his ownership, JIMMY Z’s, which even during the off-season has drawn plenty of customers, especially for Monday wing night and a new chef’s table feature held on the last Saturday of each month. Burgers, salmon, pork tenderloin and stuffed chicken supreme are just of a few of the other times offered on the diverse menu, along with homemade desserts, a variety of craft beers and wine. “Our executive chef is literally hitting a home run out of the ball park with the restaurant,”Szeman says. “The response has been phenomenal.” There’s plenty to see and do year-round at Pine Lodge. In the winter, Muskoka has over 2,000 kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails and Pine Lodge is located onTrail D103B, which is at the heart of the Hill and Gully system. Guests are a short drive away from two provincial parks, Algonquin and Arrowhead, and a three- minute walk from Mary Lake, where a public beach and boat launch allow visitors all that summer has to offer, including swimming, wakeboarding, water skiing, fishing and boating. Returning visitors looking for quieter moments will notice more seating areas in and around the lodge, a new double hammock nestled between trees and an expanded fire pit. It all adds up to a remarkable experience, one that surely prompts guests to nod knowingly upon exiting and seeing the sign,‘Life is Good.’ In the next couple of weeks, Pine Lodge Muskoka will have a new website at www.pinelodgemuskoka.com.

Using the latest in technology from TrackMan and certified staff members, Royal Ashburn’s new regional fitting cen- tre will ensure players are set to go and at their best this golf season. A proper club fitting is the most important investment one can make when purchasing golf clubs, Royal Ashburn’s Scott Paterson says. “The benefit of club-fitting is really a no-brainer,” Paterson explains. “With all the technology in clubs and equipment now, we really can provide equipment that allows golfers to hit the ball higher, farther and land softer on the greens.” The fitting centre at Royal Ashburn is brand agnostic and specializes in Title- ist, Callaway, Ping and TaylorMade. All four manufacturers make top-of-the line equipment, but all golfers have personal preferences as to the brands they play. What is most important is not the name on the club but ensuring the club is built to a player’s unique swing and there- fore promoting maximum distance and optimal performance. Using the latest in radar technology, the TrackMan system measures swing speed, ball speed and spin rate. “All of those things combined allow us to tailor equipment that will allow you to optimize spin rate, so that you’re launch- ing the ball higher and carrying the ball farther,” Paterson says. “I know it sounds gimmicky, but it’s not. It’s a reality. The average golfer probably gets more benefit out of it than the scratch player.” When players take to the course this season, which Paterson hoped would be around April 12, those who have played before won’t be at all surprised to see the par-72 championship course in tip-top shape. Since it opened in 1962, original- ly under the name Whitby Golf Club and soon after Thunderbird, the course has not only been among the best in Durham Region, but also all of Canada. The name was changed to commemo- rate a visit from His Royal Highness Prince Andrew the Duke of York in 1999 and to tie in more closely with the community of Ashburn, which celebrated its 150th anni- versary in 2000. “We are a mature, championship golf course,” Paterson says proudly. “We like to think we’re the best golf course in the area, certainly amongst the best. I think what sets us apart from other golf cours- es is course conditioning. We keep the course in great shape throughout the year.” The club offers plenty of golf programs and leagues as well as a newly renovated dining room to go with its two banquet halls, which are commonly used for par- ties and weddings.

More than 1,200 families helped with access to recreation Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com UXBRIDGE — Jumpstart Uxbridge con- tinues to be one of the most active chap- ters in the country after helping more than 1,200 families in 2017. “We had a great year, a record year, and we have some great plans for 2018 as well,” said Pat Higgins, owner of Uxbridge Cana- dian Tire and president of the local Jump- start chapter. In 2017 the program funded $64,079 in programs, assisting 1,283 kids and families. “We had a lot of fun, the communi- ty really came together and we’re pretty proud of it,” said Rebecca Harman, rec- reation co-ordinator for the Township of Uxbridge. “On a per capita basis we continue to be one of the most active in the country and many sports organizations, schools, churches and more are directing families to Jumpstart for assistance when needed.” The program helps families with costs related to recreation and sport, provides low-cost programming through the town- ship’s recreation department, and is now partnering with schools to provide in- school yoga programs to promote mental health, wellness and mindfulness. “Schools and parents reached out and said we’re struggling with mental health right now, and we all feel this program will have a really positive impact on our com- munity,” Harman said. The program was also responsible for the installation of outdoor exercise equip- ment in Elgin Park, which is free for the community to use during park hours, and provides free programming throughout the year through events such as family bowling, the Jumpstart games, geocaching events and more. Jumpstart staff had high praise for for- mer NHL star Gary Roberts, whose annu- al Gary Roberts and Friends Golf Tourna- ment has raised $280,000 for Jumpstart since its inception eight years ago. “Gary deserves a real big pat on the back,” said Coun. Pat Molloy. “To contribute $50,000 out of a $65,000 budget in 2017, that’s substantial, and we really need to thank him for all the work he does.” Council praised the team members as well for their hard work to deliver the pro- gramming, with Coun. Dave Barton noting he has a unique perspective on it from his grade-school daughter. “I love this program, I love that dur- ing this presentation I get to see where the money is coming from, where it goes, and who it benefits. Then I see it from the other side too with my daughter and all her friends talking about yoga at school and everything else,” he said. “It’s such a fantastic program and it adds so much to our town. Thank you for all the work you do.” Celebrity golf tournament helped Jumpstart celebrate successful year Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland NHL superstar Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning participated in the Gary Roberts and Friends Golf Tournament in support of Jumpstart Uxbridge.

DISCOVER THE OG&CC GOLF EXPERIENCE BATH, Ont. — Courtice’s Ethan Cardwell took home gold and Oshawa’s Madeline Boyd silver from the Investors Group Ontar- io bantam boys’ and girls’ championships last August at the Loyalist Country Club. After two rainy days, Cardwell emerged the champion on the boys’ side by two strokes, while Boyd finished two back of winner Raesa Sheikh among the girls. Cardwell, from the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club, began the day two shots off the lead after an opening round of even-par 72. After three pars to open the round, he dropped a stroke with a bogey on the fourth, but got it back with a birdie on the ninth and was even after the front nine. Cardwell moved to one-under with a birdie on the 12th, then bogeyed the 16th, before adding one more birdie on the 18th to finish at 71, one-under for the day and the tournament. He was two strokes clear of runner-up Beni Long and four ahead of six others, including first-round leader Justin Mat- thews. “This win means a lot to me,” said Cardwell in a Golf Ontario press release. “I lost by two shots last year, with a good, solid closing round, so it definitely felt good to get the win this year. I have been hitting the ball really well lately. My ball-striking has been key and when my putts have dropped, my scores have been good, whether last week at the (Ontario) juvenile championship or here.” Starting in the second to last group, Cardwell said he had a plan in mind to chase down the leaders. “Coming into the day, I picked a num- ber. I thought about 70 or 69, but when I saw the weather, I realized I just needed to stay patient,” he said. “I dropped a big putt on nine and just waited for my chances.” In the girls’ championship, Boyd made up plenty of ground on Sheikh during the final round, firing the low round of the day, an even-par 72. But Sheikh rescued her round by finish- ing with an eagle, draining a 15-foot putt on the par-five 18th to close out with a four-over 76, two stokes ahead of Boyd. Boyd, from Lakeridge Links Golf Club, bogeyed the opening hole but quickly got the stroke back with back-to-back birdies on the second and third holes. She bogeyed 12 and 16 before ending the day strong with a birdie on the 18th to finish at six-over (78-72- 150) for the tournament. Ethan Cardwell grabbed golf gold at Investors Group Ontario tourney Jake McNulty claimed fourth provincial golf championship Won Baka Wireless Ontario Public Player Championship in Richmond Hill RICHMOND HILL — Port Perry’s Jake McNulty stayed consistent over two rounds to claim his fourth different provincial title last summer, winning the Baka Wireless Ontario Public Player Championship at the Diamondback Golf Club in Richmond Hill. The day began with McNulty and Cam- eron Brennan tied for the lead at one- under, and finished with McNulty beating runner-up Jaron Brown by three strokes after carding a two-under round of 70. McNulty, who previously won the Ontario Junior Boys’, Junior Spring Clas- sic and Men’s Match Play championships, wasted little time in taking sole possession of the lead with a birdie on the opening hole. After that he never looked back. He made the turn one-under and had only one blemish on his scorecard, a bogey on the 10th, which he made up for with a bird- ie on the 11th. McNulty added the excla- mation mark with a birdie on 18 to take the title at three-under (71-70-141). “It is pretty cool,” McNulty said of win- ning his fourth provincial title, in a press release. “I played pretty well in this tourna- ment. I hit 30 greens in two days, so I didn’t have too many opportunities to mess up.” McNulty faced some adversity in the opening round, with a triple bogey fol- lowed by a bogey on the eighth and ninth holes. However, he recomposed himself and put it behind him. “I am used to having bad holes like that,” he said. “When I won the Ontario Junior I had a nine and still finished under par. You just have to be able to clear your mind and keep going. You can’t let one shot affect the next four or five.” McNulty, a Port Perry High School grad, spent one year at Virginia Commonwealth University before transferring to Eastern Michigan in 2014 and spending the next two season golfing for the Eagles.

Acting Sgt. Marc Bellemare played three tournament rounds of golf at Los Angeles event Dominik Wisniewski dwisniewski@northumberlandnews.com COBOURG — The Cobourg Police Ser- vice was well-represented at the World Police and Fire Games being held in the United States last summer. Acting Sgt. Marc Bellemare arrived in Los Angeles on Aug. 6 for the 10-day event, where he competed against 260 golfers from all over the world. “I have been practising just about every day, have been playing in a few local com- petitions and continuing my physical fit- ness golf program,” he told Northumber- land News before his departure. He played in the pairs unisex handicap and scratch teams, as well as individual men’s 18-plus scratch and handicap catego- ries. “This has been in the works for almost six months,” he said, adding that this is his first time going to Los Angeles, where he will be staying with police officers from Ire- land who he met at a previous tournament. “The camaraderie is amazing and you get to meet people from all over the world,” he added. “You quickly learn that policing is the same in every country.” Bellemare, who previously competed in the Canadian American Police Games, qualified for this year’s games in 2015 in Fairfax, Va. Competing against 360 golfers from around the world there, he finished in sec- ond place, earning the silver medal. Asked about the athletes he has met through this tournament, Bellemare said they share some of the same stories and experiences. “I have made friends for life who I keep in touch with through these games,” he said, both in the fire and police emergency sec- tor. The event features three tournament rounds on courses that include Trump National Los Angeles, Harding Golf Course and Wilson Golf Course. “The game of golf, which I took up late in life at the age of 26 after my hockey ended, has allowed me to travel, meet different people from all over the world and play dif- ferent courses,” he said. The Cobourg Police Service, he said, has been very well-represented at international events. “For a small department of 32 officers, we’ve sent athletes to both the bench press competition as well as myself in golf, and we have all done very well for a service so small,” he added. Bellemare said he could not have attend- ed the games this year without the support of the community and his sponsors. Those include Paul and Patti Douglas, the owners of Ash Brook Golf Club in Port Hope; Evan Blainey from Royal LePage Pro Alliance Realty; Baxter Creek Golf Club; the Cobourg Police Service; and the Cobourg Police Association, he said. “The entire sponsorship definitely made it possible for me to attend, because Los Angeles is a very expensive city,” he said.

The Geared to Golf Performance Center continues to lead in the growth of junior golf in Durham Region. A girl’s only coaching pathway has seen an explosion in girls entering the game with Geared to Golf and their Gear Programs. Jake Patte, Head coach, expands our Geared Junior Golf League to over 48 players for 2018 which incorporates coaching, on course practice and challenges along with a season long membership as part of the program. This league is designed to help juniors learn the fundamentals in a safe team environment and increase the number of families enjoying the game together. To learn more about the incredible coaching programs offered, you can contact Jake Patte at jake@geared togolf.com. With this expansion sparks the growth of the Eldorado Monday Night Junior League. This league will incorporate not only league play but the option for instruction before or after the round in a small group setting focusing on a different skill each week. Bruce’s Tour is continuing with its success from last year, with the option to play two rounds each week that will count for your tour earnings. Don’t miss out on Bruce’s Tour Dollars if you are away. Bruce’s Social Hub will have regular updates to keep you in the loop. Bruce’sGolfRewards’involvementcontinues with the Golf Ontario through the ‘Golf in School’ program, sponsoring local schools by providing them with equipment and curriculum for physical education classes for grades one through eight. More schools again have the option to take part in on-course activities by bringing students from the classroom to the course with programs created for the course during the month of June. School Field Days are available at Eldorado and can be booked through Jake Patte. “Creating a culture at Geared to Golf along with giving every junior athlete access to the course is important to the growth of the game,” says Patte, head coach for Geared to Golf. “We want to give every child the tools to learn the game and to use our facilities as the avenue to play it. Access to the course has been instrumental in inspiring junior golfers to take their games to the next level.” Back for its seventh year is the ParaGolfer Chair that is unique to Bruce’s Golf Rewards courses. This amazing chair allows people who are paralyzed or unable to walklongdistancestostillgetoutandenjoythe game of golf. Lessons and on-course programs are available to those using the ParaGolfer. “The best thing about the chair is hearing the users say how great it feels to be standing upright and being out with friends again,”says Ben Conway, Director of Marketing for Bruce’s Golf Rewards. Players using the chair do not pay a greens fee or for driving range balls. Contact paragolfer@brucesgolfrewards.com or ben@brucesgolfrewards.com for more information about the ParaGolfer.

The first course designed by Thomas McBroom, now a giant in the industry, Oakridge pro- vides plenty of challenge, enjoy- ment and natural beauty over its 18 holes. Elevated tees lead into nar- row and well-guarded fairways that meander through a mix of grassland and wooded areas atop the beautiful Oak Ridges Moraine. A family-owned and oper- ated club, Oakridge lives up to its slogan: public play ~ private feel. It’s affordable and acces- sible, but leaves those who play feeling special. “It’s like a golf community,” explains Todd Michael. “Not just the owners and the staff but the golfers as well. And it’s gen- uine … no schmoozing allowed at Oakridge.” “I’ve been a member at Oakridge for 18 years. They make my golf enjoyable,” adds Fred Wynistorf. “I haven’t had to book my group’s weekly Thurs- day tee time for as long as I can remember. The pro shop does it for me. They make everything easy for us at Oakridge.” It’s not just the golfers who keep coming back; the staff does as well. Matt Anderson has been involved with Oakridge for 25 years, including the last 15 as general manager, and is proud of his contributions toward making the course a favourite in Durham Region and the GTA. “We give people value for their money,” Anderson says. “We offer lots of ways to enjoy our course at different price points based on frequency of play. Our goal here is to deliver an enjoyable golf experience at a reasonable green fee. And we do.” Shawn Plain, who joined the Oakridge team in 2003 as head professional, has a passion for all aspects of golf, and believes most of all that it is meant to be an enjoyable experience. He expects players to leave the course understanding that Oakridge is grateful they came — not the other way around. “I want to ensure that every golfer at Oakridge feels appreci- ated for making the decision to play here,” he explains. “I want to provide an honest and valu- able experience for our golfers. I am proud to be here.” Warren Moffatt, who cele- brated 21 years at Oakridge last summer, has an acute sense of detail in his role as course superintendent. “I take the course mainte- nance as a priority and every little thing counts,” says Moffatt, who is open to suggestions from the clientele. “It’s great to hear from the players too.” One of Oakridge’s most attractive and unique features is the flexibility offered through its Modern Gold Membership, which provides fantastic value on every round played. Mem- bership at Oakridge Golf Club is designed for golfers who want to save money, play a great course and enjoy their experi- ence every time. Visit www.golfoakridge.com for more information.

MacCharles, the gov- ernment and consumer affairs minister, said in a press release she will not seek re-election. The Liberal MPP said Ontarians are facing an important choice on June 7 and it pains her to be on the sidelines. "As many know, I have been facing health chal- lenges over the past year. I have come to the realiza- tion that I would not be able to bring the full ener- gy and drive to this cam- paign that my constitu- ents deserve from their candidates and represen- tatives," she said. This is one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make but I have concluded that this is what is best for my con- stituents, my health and my family." She thanked her fami- ly, staff, volunteers and colleagues, as well as local residents. "Together we accom- plished the Pickering's Frenchman's Bay recon- struction project and the building of the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre," she said. "We facilitated commu- nity engagement on is- sues such as mental health and seniors servic- es, and worked effectively with all levels of govern- ment, not for profits and businesses to deliver in- vestments and communi- ty supports in Scarbor- ough and the Durham Re- gion."

"I'm honoured to be nom- inated as our local provin- cial Liberal candidate, and I'm ready to fight for fair- ness for our residents and to ensure we invest in the care that our community needs under Premier Kathleen Wynne's leadership," said Daniyal. "As an immigrant who worked hard to make a life for his family, I'm run- ning because I believe hard work should be rewarded with a fair wage, that stu- dents should be able to go to college or university if they get the grades, and to ensure we invest in the health and seniors' care our riding needs." Daniyal put himself and his younger siblings through school by working various jobs after losing his father at a young age. Today, Daniyal is a small-business owner managing a real es- tate practice, and husband and father to three boys. He earned a master's degree in administrative science at the University of Punjab, a postgraduate diploma in marketing and a certificate in financial underwriting.

This partnership comes with a com- mitment from McDonald's Durham Re- gion of $500,000 to Grandview Kids. The first fundraiser that will go toward this $500,000 pledge will be McHappy Day on May 2. Last year, eight McDonald stores across the Durham Region participated in McHappy Day in support of Grandview Kids. This year, 22 locations across Dur- ham Region will be participating. $1 from every Big Mac sandwich, Happy Meal and any sized hot McCafé beverage sold will be donated to Ronald McDonald Houses and Grandview Kids. During the celebration of this recent commitment of McDonald's to Grand- view Kids, owners of local McDonald's were able to tour Grandview Children's Centre and meet the children who attend Campbell Children's School, Grandview's co-located educational partner. The kids at the school had set up a pre- tend McDonald's restaurant with a drive- thru to serve kids, McDonald's owners and teachers alike their toy fries, burgers and chicken nuggets to celebrate and show their thanks. McHappy Day isn't the only way McDo- nald's has been supporting Grandview. In fact, McDonald's has had a long-standing relationship of support with Grandview Kids. The commitment of Durham Region McDonald's to help Grandview Kids has brought Grandview their therapy pool, closed-in accessible playground and the ability to help more kids throughout Dur- ham Region.
