OSHAWA - Ramped up
production at Oshawa's
General Motors plant is a
good news story locally,
but the threat of auto tar-
iffs from the United States
has drawn concern from
the union representing lo-
cal autoworkers.
Unifor Local 222 presi-
dent Colin James said
Oshawa's truck plant add-
ed a second shift in June
and now has two shifts
with 220 jobs per shift. The
flex plant continues to run
with a day shift of 242 jobs.
He adds that it's a "good
news story" as GM has in-
vested more in the Oshawa
plant than required to un-
der the last collective
agreement.
"Right now we believe
we're in a good position,
things that could poten-
tially hurt us is if there's a
tariff on automobiles, that
would definitely hurt us
and depending on what
comes out of the NAFTA
(talks), it could hurt our
members."
Right now 85 per cent of
the vehicles built in GM's
Oshawa facility are des-
tined for the U.S. market,
but James said the U.S.
and the Canadian auto in-
dustry are closely linked.
If U.S. President Donald
Trump were to follow
through with a threat of
adding a 25 per cent tariff
on vehicles built in Cana-
da, it would hurt both
countries, he said.
"A lot of parts in our ve-
hicles come from the Unit-
ed States so indirectly the
Trump organization
would be hurting their
own citizens, they would
be losing work," said
James. "I don't believe he's
looked at the whole impact
of what would happen
with the tariffs."
He's also concerned
about the impact of steel
tariffs which could drive
up the price of vehicles
and parts.
Currently Unifor Local
222 has 6,500 active mem-
bers and of that three-
quarters are impacted by
the auto industry, said
James. There are about
2,400 GM workers in Osha-
wa.
"We're talking specifi-
cally GM but it also affects
Ford, Chrysler, Toyota,
Honda and all the parts
suppliers around," said
James.
It's difficult for the
union to address the issue
given that the messaging
from the U.S. is constantly
changing, said James.
"It changes day-to-day,
(Unifor president) Jerry
Dias - as everybody knows
-has been involved in the
talks directly, but until
there's a concrete agree-
ment or until we know
what's going to happen,
there's been no detailed
discussions," said James.
"We just know it could
negatively impact us."
James said he's also
concerned talk of tariffs
could cause GM to hold off
on investing in Canadian
plants.
Mark Nantais is the
president of the Canadian
Vehicle Manufacturers'
Association which repre-
sents Fiat Chrysler, Ford
and General Motors.
GM Canada referred
questions about the im-
pact of auto tariffs to Nan-
tais.
"What the industry has
done, what my member
companies have done,
they've done some de-
tailed analysis on what the
tariffs mean ... that de-
tailed information has
been passed on to the gov-
ernment," said Nantais,
adding that the details
aren't public because
they're business sensitive.
However, the key mes-
sage is that tariffs would
be harmful to both Canada
and the U.S., said Nantais.
"When we get into a sit-
uation of tariff for tariff,
otherwise known as a
trade war, it benefits no-
body, that's what we want
to avoid," he said.
Nantais said NAFTA
talks are currently on hia-
tus, pointing to the recent
election in Mexico as one
reason.
"What's going to matter
most is for the govern-
ments of the three coun-
tries to get back to the ne-
gotiating table as soon as
possible, we need a suc-
cessful agreement that
works for everybody," he
said.
The U.S. government is
expected to look at the is-
sue of auto tariffs at hear-
ings during the summer.

WHO WE ARE
OPINION
• EDITORIAL •
•LETTERS & COMMENTARY •
To teach children is no easy task. Teachers should be
commended for their patience, perseverance and guidance
each and every day they help shape the minds of our young
people.
However, to effectively do their jobs teachers should not
be subjected to violence in the workplace. Sadly though
that's what more and more of them must deal with these
days.
In October, Elementary Teacher's Federation of Ontario
Durham hosted a series of town hall meetings to get feed-
back on violence in classrooms and supports for students
with special needs.
At the meetings, teachers described being punched,
scratched, bitten and having school equipment thrown at
them.
If this sounds startling it should.
But it gets worse. A Durham District School Board re-
port just released showed teachers filed 3,570 violent in-
cident reports between September 2017 and May 2018. No
similar numbers were available in the Kawartha Pine
Ridge District School Board.
In the DDSB report 86 per cent of reports filed this
school year involved DDSB employees being hit, pushed or
kicked.
Twenty-six per cent involved scratching, grabbing or
pinching; 21 per cent involved biting; 16 per cent involved
verbal threats, yelling and profanity; and 15 per cent fell
into the "other" category, which includes hair-pulling, spit-
ting and objects being thrown.
The majority of reports - 61 per cent - involved students
in kindergarten to Grade 3; students in Grade 4 to 6 were
involved in 24 per cent.
Students in grades 7 and higher made up the other 15 per
cent.
David Mastin, president of the Durham local of the Ele-
mentary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO), said what
concerned him most was the percentage of incidents for
kindergarten to Grade 3. The result of this violence in the
classroom is increasing number of teachers going on long-
term disability leave.
This isn't an issue exclusive to the DDSB but teachers at
the board have filed double the number of reports this year
compared with last year Mastin said. And if the teachers
are experiencing violent confrontations so too must be
students, something that should not be overlooked despite
it not being included in this latest report.
Nobody attending school should be fearful. Teachers
need support otherwise these incident reports will continue
to rise. With the school year now complete we would urge
our MPPs and trustees to work toward a solution to stem
the violence. Teachers and students alike deserve support
to ensure a healthy and safe school environment.

on violence
in the classroom
More companies
should ban plastics
To the editor:
The fast food chain A&W
has recently banned plastic
straws and will replace
them with biodegradable
paper straws. This may not
seem significant since
there are so many plastic
products out there. But it is
a step in the right direction.
Greenpeace Canada
plastics campaigner, Far-
rah Khan, wants to ban all
single use plastics altogeth-
er since so much of it ends
up in landfill or oceans. You
may have heard about how
much ends up in oceans.
Hundreds of thousands of
tonnes of plastics end up in
our oceans every year. We
may not know it because
due to wind patterns and
forces created by the plan-
et's rotation, the majority of
plastics accumulate in an
area called the Great Pacif-
ic Garbage Patch. This area
in the Pacific is four times
the size of Texas.
Fish seek out plastic de-
bris to eat since micro plas-
tics gather biological mate-
rial such as algae, which
mimics the smell of food.
One hundred species have
been known to do so.
So you can imagine the
health risks if people eat a
lot of fish. An example
would be top European
shellfish consumers who
might consume up to 11,000
micro plastic pieces a year.
The effects are unknown.
So we can see how inter-
related our actions are with
nature due to our wasteful
habits. When I was with
Durham CLEAR opposing
the Courtice incinerator we
suggested more recycling
or even zero waste. With
A&W banning plastic
straws, it is time for other
companies to join the band-
wagon.

We must tackle the
problem of sex
trafficking
To the editor:
Sex trafficking has
emerged as one of the worst
and most pervasive forms
of human rights violations
of women and children.
According to the U.S.
State Department, the year-
ly number of women and
children who are trafficked
across international bor-
ders are 600,000 to 800,000
victims.
Sex trafficking has
quickly become the second
largest criminal industry
worldwide and brings in an
estimated amount of $32 bil-
lion annually.
This needs to change.
With the help of society,
these victims can receive
the justice they deserve.
It is important to edu-
cate ourselves on this di-
lemma to understand what
these victims are going
through and to provide
them with the support they
need.
If society remains apa-
thetic toward this issue, the
industry will continue to
thrive ruining the lives of
many individuals.
Sex trafficking is a
pressing issue in society,
which must be addressed to
reduce it and provide the
change that society needs.
We must come together
and put a stop to this traf-
fic.

Is there anything cuter
than a baby coyote? My friend
Marlene and her husband
looked out the window one
morning last week and discov-
ered a ball of tan fur in the
backyard - two coyote pups
curled up together, fast asleep.
They stayed there sleeping for
an hour-and-a-half, until it
started to rain, then toddled
over to the neighbour's deck
and sheltered underneath,
falling asleep again.
By the time their mother
came to check on them they
were awake and watching for
her. She didn't enter the yard,
just appeared silently at the
edge of the creek valley, and
when she slipped into the
woods again they raced off af-
ter her.
"The babies stayed close to-
gether the whole time, playing
and sleeping," Marlene told
me, clearly delighted with her
rare glimpse into these secre-
tive animals' family life. She
said she sometimes hears coy-
otes yipping and yowling down
by Lynde Creek at night, and
once her husband saw an adult
pass the end of their drive.
More or less restricted to
Great Plains prairies and
grasslands from Mexico to
Canada in the past, coyotes
have spread throughout North
America in the last 200 years,
benefitting from European set-
tlers eradicating forests and
waging war on the coyotes'
main competitor, grey wolves.
Coyotes now range from Pana-
ma to Nunavut, and even
reached Newfoundland in
1985, crossing from the main-
land on pack ice. These clever,
resilient canines have adapted
to every habitat we come up
with, including urban neigh-
bourhoods right here in Dur-
ham.
Dave Pazaratz, another
friend of mine, who's a bit of a
night owl, told me he's more
than once seen a coyote trot-
ting calmly down the middle of
his street a few blocks from
Oshawa Creek. They're usual-
ly solitary hunters, and prefer
to avoid people and stay out of
sight. They may be lured in by
pet food left out overnight, and
by mice and rats drawn to care-
lessly stored garbage. Coyotes
provide a service by keeping
populations of small rodents,
their staple diet, under con-
trol, and by cleaning up road-
kill. When tastier prey isn't
available they'll eat insects,
fruit and even grass.

BOWMANVILLE - A man faces
animal cruelty charges after what po-
lice described as a vicious assault on a
dog Monday evening in Bowmanville.
Durham police Const. George Tu-
dos said Tuesday morning it is not
known if the dog, a golden retriever,
will survive the life-threatening inju-
ries sustained at the hands of its own-
er.
The incident unfolded on a high-
way ramp at Bennett Road and High-
way 401 around 8 p.m. July 2.
"Witnesses said there was a man
viciously assaulting a dog at the side
of the road," Tudos said. "He contin-
ued assaulting the dog while people
were trying to stop him," Tudos add-
ed. The man was arrested at the
scene. Jonathan Dunbar, 23, of Mis-
sissauga has been charged with cru-
elty to animals; he was released on a
promise to appear in court. His name
wasn't immediately released by po-
lice. The dog was taken to a local vet-
erinary clinic where it remained as of
Tuesday.
"We're not sure if the dog will
make it or not," said Tudos.

OSHAWA - Charges have been
laid against an Oshawa man ac-
cused of sexually assaulting a
woman in an elevator then pur-
suing her as she attempted to es-
cape.
The incident began about 10:10
a.m. Monday, May 14, when a man
followed a 30-year-old woman in-
to an elevator in her building in
the area of Taunton and Ritson
roads, Durham police said.
It's alleged that the man
touched the woman inappropri-
ately, police said. When the eleva-
tor doors opened, the woman fled
down the hallway toward her
apartment, but the suspect pur-
sued her and tried to tackle her.
The woman fought off the man
and called police; the suspect
fled.
Officers were able to identify a
suspect and arrested him at his
residence. Ricardo Melliphant,
24, of Pentland Street, Oshawa, is
charged with sexual assault and

CRIME
OSHAWA - An Oshawa book-
keeper is facing fraud charges af-
ter a police investigation into her
handling of the accounts of a
small, family-owned business.
The owner of the company
filed for bankruptcy as a result of
losses resulting from the scheme,
which saw more than $130,000 di-
verted through deceit, Durham
police said.
The frauds are alleged to have
occurred while the suspect was
employed as a bookkeeper by an
Oshawa-based deck and land-
scaping company between No-
vember 2014 and August 2016, po-
lice said. Proceeds of the alleged
fraud were laundered by conceal-
ing funds through transfers, con-
versions to bank drafts and pay-
ment of personal bills, police
said. Susan Benoit-Wasson, 45, of
Oshawa faces charges including
fraud over $5,000 and laundering
proceeds of crime.
Anyone with information is
asked to call investigators at 905-
579-1520, ext. 5279.

DURHAM - In a few
months, recreational
cannabis will be legal
in Canada, and there's
already a green rush in Claring-
ton. There are currently four
licensed cannabis producers
operating in Clarington, and
three more are coming soon -
the highest number of licensed
cannabis producers in Durham
Region.
"When you think about it,
this is the lifting of prohibition.
It's like what happened in the
alcohol industry all those years
ago. The lifting of prohibition is
a very exciting time for us," said
Alan Cooke, regional general
manager for Canopy Growth's
Bowmanville, Niagara-on-the-
Lake and New Brunswick opera-
tions.
Canopy Growth, with a
55,000-square foot facility on
Bennet Road, is the largest of
several local cannabis produc-
tion companies in Clarington.
Cannabis companies are finding
affordable property, easy access
to transportation with local
highway access and a welcome
reception from the Clarington
Board of Trade and the Munici-
pality of Clarington.
"Some people would be sur-
prised at the presence here
already," said Clarington Mayor
Adrian Foster. "There is a clus-
ter that has come about on its
own."
For several years, cannabis
has been legal for medical pur-
poses, as long as the patient is
authorized to use by a health
professional and registered with
a licensed producer or Health
Canada. A hub of licensed med-
ical cannabis producers has
settled in Bowmanville, in the
industrial area of Bennett Road
and Lake Road.
"We are so excited about the
potential of this industry and
the endless possibilities," said
Sheila Hall, executive director
of the Clarington Board of
Trade.
The cannabis industry in
Durham was largely non-exis-
tent during the 2011 census, and
data from the 2016 census is not
yet available. Currently it's
estimated there are 800 local
jobs directly related to the can-
nabis industry, and it's antici-
pated the industry will soon
offer more than 1,000 skilled
jobs. Jobs in the industry in-
clude agriculture/greenhouse
work, security, water manage-
ment, distribution, quality as-
surance and more. There are
occupations that involve hands-
on training directly after high
school and others that require
advanced doctorate degrees in
chemistry.
"I like the diversity of occupa-
tions. The potential to improve
labour market outcomes for the
spectrum of Durham Region is
really exciting," said Heather
McMillan, executive director of
the Durham Workforce Au-
thority.
This year, Durham College
launched a cannabis-industry
specialist certificate, a part-time
business course. More than 300
people have enrolled in the
course, with wait lists, since its
launch in November.
"We were the first college in
Ontario to launch this course,"
said Debbie Johnston, dean of
continuing education at Dur-
ham College. "They'll learn
about plants, the medical side,
the history, market and supply
... We're not going to teach peo-
ple how to be an accountant.
We'll teach an accountant how
to talk about the cannabis in-
dustry."
The local cannabis industry
is expected to grow with the
upcoming legalization. Many of
the current licensed cannabis
producers are expected to have
both a medical cannabis branch
and a recreational cannabis
division.
"On every level, this industry
is rapidly growing or evolving,"
said Melissa Leach, cannabis
educator for The Clinic Network
Canada Inc. in the Bowmanville
Health Centre.
Legalization could mean a
range of new local cannabis
sectors - from storefront bake-
shops to manufacturing plants
for edibles and food products.
Delta 9 Chefs is an Oshawa-
based company that teaches
people who use medical canna-
bis how to infuse their food with
cannabis (from butter to honey
balsamic vinaigrette to noo-
dles). With legalization, Delta 9
Chefs could expand to teach
recreational users, or even open
a cannabis café. When people
ingest cannabis the effect is
much stronger and they need to
be taught how to micro-dose
when cooking with it, explained
chef Matt Hawkins.
"We can teach you how to
make really good food," said
Hawkins. "There's also a huge
education aspect to edibles ...
People need to understand the
severity of it. We're there to fill
in the gaps."
The Cannabis Act, which will
legalize recreational cannabis
in Canada, received royal assent
in June. That mean that, as of
Oct. 17, it will no longer be ille-
gal to buy, possess or use canna-
bis for anything other than
authorized medical or research
purposes (with some limits).
The rationale for legalization
is that it will displace black-
market cannabis, better prevent
youth from accessing the drug
and protect people with quality
and safety regulations.
"This is really an opportunity
for Canada, as opposed to a
threat. People are already con-
suming cannabis - all around,
it's happening. This is an oppor-
tunity to take it out of the black
market to put it in a safe, reg-
ulated supply chain," said Mark
Zekulin, president of Canopy
Growth Corp. "It took this com-
munity a lot of courage to ac-
cept a cannabis company, to
work through that perceived
stigma, to recognize, in many
ways we're a business like any
other. The product we make is a
little unique."

P ICKERING - A pilot
project in Pickering is de-
s igned to manage traffic
around a busy Durham
police station.
A section of Kingston
Road, east of Brock Road
and in front of the Dur-
ham police station, has
been designated a no-
s topping zone. The mea-
s ure is designed to man-
age traffic coming to and
leaving from the station,
Const. George Tudos ex-
plained in a video posted
to YouTube.
"This is to ensure this
is a no stopping zone to
make sure that it's safe
for all the motorists thatfor all the motorists thatf
are trying to exit and en-
ter the police station,"
T udos said as he stood in
f ront of the zone, which isfront of the zone, which isf
defined by diagonal yel-
low lines.
"This also helps our of-
f icers make sure thatficers make sure thatf
t hey can get out to re-
spond to priority calls in
a safe manner."
T he project was un-
dertaken with co-opera-
t ion from the City of Pick-
e ring, Tudos said.

I'm sure someone some-
where is saying a prayer re-
garding our current trade
relationship with the U.S.,
knowing that if it goes south
literally, we'd be in dire
straits - not because we don't
have our own resources, but
because of our dependency
upon our neighbour.
But that relational de-
pendency is rooted in our
economic dependency, with
the state of the economy be-
ing uttermost in our nation-
al psyche. That's how we
take our pulse in Canada -
by how well the loonie is do-
ing.
It's no wonder, then, that
most businesses couldn't
fathom closing on both Can-
ada Day on the Sunday and
holiday Monday. I was
shocked when a friend, who
works at a major retailer,
first told me that her store
would be open on Canada
Day. I literally didn't under-
stand. But then I remem-
bered that for a corporation
or even a small business,
closing down for two days
straight would be like an
economic sin - both for the
business and the consumer.
To business owners, I'd
say, you cannot sell your
soul and expect to truly
prosper, and to consumers:
having the world at your dis-
posal 24-7 has given you the
false perception that the
world does indeed revolve
around you, but it doesn't.
I'm one of the strange
people who "likes it" when
the power goes out. It re-
minds me of how much of
our world is powered by
something that can fail. Ev-
erything gets very quiet and
sobering, and we're stopped
in our tracks. Very little
does this for us because we
don't, and in some cases
can't, do it for ourselves.
Why should a nation
prosper if it is not willing to
sacrifice what matters to it
most? I'm not talking about
the kind of sacrifice that
keeps you working, but
rather the kind that causes
you to stop. In this day and
age, that is where the real
sacrifice is.
We are dependent on our
paycheques and dependent
on our jobs, so we don't stop.
Meanwhile, if our pulse
were to be checked, we
wouldn't like the story it
tells. We work, but we are in
debt. We strive, but we do
not thrive. We are wasting
away.
Publicly they will tell us
that Canada's economy is
strong, but secretly they
fear anything upsetting the
apple cart. Why else would
our government be so
staunch regarding these
tariffs? Because Canada's
life is on the line. We just
don't realize how much.

PICKERING - There
may be another Andre De
Grasse in our midst.
Tyreak Holgate, 14, is
looking like a future
Olympian to Randy
Brookes, an Ajax resident
and head coach of the
Durham Gazelles track
and field club based in
Pickering.
Holgate could certainly
look for inspiration to De
Grasse, a sprinter from
Markham who was dis-
covered by another local
coach, Tony Sharpe, and
has gone on to stardom,
winning three medals at
the 2016 Rio Olympics.
But Holgate has set his
sights even higher than
that. A native of Jamaica
now living in Scarbor-
ough, Holgate's hero is
Usain Bolt, an eight-time
Olympic gold medallist
and world-record holder
in both the 100-metre and
200-m sprints.
"I would follow all of
Usain Bolt's races, and I
wanted to be just like
him," Holgate said in a
Gazelles news release. "I
still do."
Holgate is having quite
a season on the track,
recently finishing second
in both the 100-m and
200-m races at the Toronto
elementary school cham-
pionships, and first in
both events at an elemen-
tary school prep meet in
Oshawa hosted by the
Gazelles.
But he's overcome
some hardships along the
way, including missing
most of last season deal-
ing with growing pains -
he's now five-foot-11 and
140 pounds - and falling in
with a bad crowd for a
time.
A switch of schools and
greater focus on the track
has helped steer him in a
better direction.
"He's really taken on
the Gazelle mantra, as far
as being very friendly and
welcoming and just hav-
ing fun at practice,"
Brookes explained. "It's
good to see because he's a
good kid, a lot of talent,
and he just needed to be
in an environment where
he was comfortable."
Holgate came to Cana-
da at nine years old and
lived in Ajax briefly,
Brookes said, but now
lives in Scarborough with
his father, O'Neil.
Having just graduated
from John McCrea Public
School, he looks forward
to competing next year at
his first Ontario Feder-
ation of Schools Athletic
Association (OFSAA)
championship - a meet he
attended out of interest
this year, at York Uni-
versity.
"He's going to defi-
nitely be OFSAA-bound
next year, and I think a
champion," said Brookes.
"He hasn't even reached
his potential as far as a
Grade 8 because he
missed so much training
last year. He's
deadly."
Brookes
had 22 of his
Gazelles ath-
letes at the
OFSAA meet
this year, and
watched
proudly as
they won 11
medals, in-
cluding a gold
sweep for
Whitby's Makenzy Pierre-
Webster in the 100-m and
200-m races, a gold for
Oshawa's Trinity Miller
in the 100-m race and
three sprint medals for
his own son, Zion, in-
cluding in the 4x100-m
relay.
He expects Holgate to
add to that haul next year
and eventually reach the
upper limit of
the sport.
"Oh yeah, I
think so, for
sure," Brookes
said when
asked if Hol-
gate could
reach the
Olympics.
"He's ahead of
many of the
solid athletes
I've trained,
based on age ... He's a
phenom, for sure."

With the recent annual
ritual we call Father's Day
still in the rear-view mirror,
I thought it would be most
appropriate to share some
wisdom from one of my big-
gest mentors, the man they
called coach, John Wooden.
Few people would argue
that John Wooden was the
greatest coach of all. How-
ever, coach Wooden didn't
just teach basketball at the
University of California,
Los Angeles; he taught life.
He spent more time
teaching the importance of
having good character,
faith, integrity, discipline,
resilience, a strong work
ethic and how to be a great
teammate. All of his coach-
ing and mentoring pre-
pared his players with the
necessary
tools to be su-
premely suc-
cessful in life
and not just on
the basketball
court.
And most
importantly,
he taught this
by his daily ac-
tions and not
just his words.
At the core of his teach-
ing were two things. First
off was what he called his
own father's seven-point
creed. This can be traced to
a piece of paper that his fa-
ther, Joshua Wooden, gave
to him on his graduation
from Grade 8. On one side of
the paper: seven rules to
live by. Coach kept that
piece of paper with him in
his wallet for the rest of his
life.
The rules are:
1. Be true to yourself.
2. Help others.
3. Make each day your
masterpiece.
4. Drink deeply from
books, especially the good
book.
5. Make friendship a fine
art.
6. Build a shelter against
a rainy day by the life you
live.
7. Pray for guidance and
counsel, and give thanks for
your blessings each day.
Similarly, Wooden's dad
used the very tough times
in his life to pass down "two
sets of threes" to his four
sons. The first set have to do
with integrity, while the
second set are about deal-
ing with adversity.
They are:
1. Never lie ... 1. Don't
whine.
2. Never cheat ... 2. Don't
complain.
3. Never steal ... 3. Don't
make excuses.
Coach recalled watching
his father stick
to those princi-
ples through
the hardest
times one can
imagine and
said, "that had
a most power-
ful effect on
me. That's
where I came
to see that
what you do is
more important than what
you say you do."
Till next time, remem-
ber "you can't fake strong!"

and conditioning coach for

DURHAM - He's a Brit-
ish playwright who died
400 years ago. So, in
bringing Shakespeare's
works to 21st century au-
diences, Jeremy Smith
says it has to relate to him
and other Canadians.
The Oshawa native's
Driftwood Theatre Group
has been placing the
Bard's plays in modern
Canadian settings.
The 2018 Bard's Bus
Tour play is Rosalynde, or
As You Like It, and Smith
has tweaked it to set the
action in 1918 Canada. It
was the final year of the
First World War, Canadi-
an women, most of them,
were given the right to
vote and alcohol was pro-
hibited in Canada.
Smith, Driftwood's
founder and artistic di-
rector, wants us to see the
connections between the
government regulation of
alcohol and marijuana,
between Rosalind's jour-
ney of self-discovery and
the women's suffrage
movement.
"It really plays out well
with Rosalind's story,"
Smith says.
"It intersects with so
many characters in the
scope of the play."
In As You Like it, set in
a duchy in France, Duke
Frederick has seized pow-
er and exiled his brother,
Duke Senior, to the Forest
of Arden. In Rosalynde,
the two brothers own a
distillery and when pro-
hibition comes into ef-
fect, Frederick wants to
continue selling alcohol
to the United States while
Senior is against it.
Rosalind is Senior's
daughter. Frederick ini-
tially lets her stick
around as she is best
friends with his daughter,
but eventually she flees to
the forest, where she em-
barks upon "a journey of
self-discovery, (to find)
her place in the world,"
Smith notes. Rosalind
disguises herself as a man
i n As You Like It. In Drift-
wood's version, Jacques,
a depressed, world-weary
member of Duke Senior's
court, becomes a woman
who has been beaten
down after years of fight-
i ng to get women the vote.
"She's a woman who is
tired of the world ... be-
cause she spent so long
trying to get the vote and
it didn't happen," Smith
says.
He notes people can
enjoy the surface level of
the work, "a very funny,
very lovely play." But "we
just want to encourage
people to dig a little deep-
er."
Rosalynde opens on
July 14 at Parkwood Es-
tate in Oshawa.

Pacific Fresh Food Market in Pickering held its first anniversary celebrations
this past weekend. The celebrations kicked-off with a traditional ceremonial
Lion Dance. The two lions are led by Ông Đļa, Mr. Earth, a good-hearted
spirit who has the power to summon the lions and takes the lead to clear the
path for the lions to find money and to areas to pray for good luck. As part
of their anniversary celebrations, Pacific Fresh Food Mart is holding a draw
for a chance to win a BMW 330i. Pacific Fresh Food Mart is located at 1300
Kingston Road, at Liverpool, in Pickering.
