Trudeau announced a $9.5 million federal invest- ment in the wind tunnel that will be used to add a mobile ground plane - a gi- ant belt used to simulate road conditions - to the tunnel. He made the announce- ment after touring the fa- cility including the base- ment, where plans for the new addition were laid out, and he enthusiastically questioned John Komar, director of engineering and operations at ACE, on how it would work. The UOIT site will be the only place in the world to combine the moving ground plane with the wind tunnel's climactic ca- pabilities which can simu- late anything from a swel- tering summer day to an icy blizzard. Trudeau said the feder- al dollars will support in- novation and training. "I am really proud of this announcement be- cause this funding will support cutting-edge capa- bilities like a simulated moving road so research- ers can continue to create cleaner, safer technology for Canadians to use every day," he said. "Supporting this project means new en- ergy efficient products that are going to deliver better results while reduc- ing pollution." Trudeau said the pro- ject means well-paying jobs for employees at ACE as well as learning oppor- tunities for students which will lead to good jobs. The federal dollars add to the pot of $4 million from the province $1 million from Magna International and $500,000 from UOIT to fund the project. UOIT president and vice-chancellor Dr. Steven Murphy thanked the prime minister for the funding. "This funding an- nouncement is huge," said Murphy following the offi- cial statements. "This al- lows us to become the world's only climatic wind tunnel with a moving ground plane and what that means is we can simu- late every part of moving travel and it's huge because it's an R and D leap. "If you think about au- tonomous vehicles and how they're going to inter- act with one another on the road, this allows us to be the one facility in the world that allows us to do both climatic and can do aero- dynamics at the same time." With the new moving ground plane researchers will be able to do things like turn cars into or off of the wind and other actions that will lead to improve- ments in design, fuel effi- ciency and more. "We're going to be blow- ing out a wall in the base- ment that allows us to con- nect - right now we have a dyno that is two stories tall and it it'll be floating in and out on an air pad with the rolling road which will be coming in from an outside building and structure," explains Murphy. He said it will give engi- neering students a leg-up to be using the state-of-the art facilities. Komar said construc- tion will begin shortly and is expected to be completed in March or April 2020 for all the elements. "We're also not shutting this place down, so teach- ing, all the R and D hap- pens in what we would call a running changeover on this," he said. "We are fol- lowing at the speed of in- dustry in this university." As for Trudeau's ques- tions, Komar said he was very insightful and picked up on his explanations very quickly. Trudeau met with stu- dents who will use the ACE wind tunnel as a classroom and also paused to take sel- fies with students as he left campus. "At the start of a new school year, let me say this to all our students: we are right here supporting you as you study and work hard," the prime minister said after listing federal programs that benefit stu- dents. PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU ANNOUNCES $9.5 MILLION IN FUNDING FOR UOIT WIND TUNNEL UPGRADES IN DURHAM VISIT REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durham region.com NEWS Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited UOIT on Friday morning to announce $9.5 million in funding for the university's Automotive Centre of Excellence.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM It's back-to-school time. Drivers have received their summer reprieve from having to endure slow-moving school buses on their daily commute, but summer is now over. The buses are back and, hopefully, the consideration by drivers for the children aboard these school buses is back as well. But, the sad fact is, too many drivers flout the law and take foolish chances to get around school buses while trying to save a minute or two on the roads in order to get to work on time. Drivers who take un- necessary risks are putting the lives of our children at risk - plain and simple. The law clearly states that on roads without a median, cars in all directions must stop for a school bus with its upper red lights activated. When they're activated, it's a clear signal children are get- ting on or departing from the bus. On a road with a median, traffic coming from the oppo- site direction is not required to stop. With the school year opening, it's a time of trepi- dation for many parents who fear for their children as they see drivers failing to stop for a school bus with its lights activated. "It's absolutely crazy how many people will just go right by a bus with its lights flashing," says one mom of three school-age children. Well, it is certainly crazy, but not surprising. A bus driver who wrote to us anonymously said too often, he has seen drivers driving in the opposite direction fail to stop for school buses. "Sadly, too many drivers fail to (stop)." Here is the law as it pertains to school buses: For the first offence, the penalty is six demerit points and a fine of between $400 and $2,000. Each subsequent offence within five years is six demerit points, a fine of $1,000 to $4,000 and possible jail time of up to six months. According to the Ministry of Transportation, vehicle owners can be charged if their vehicle illegally passes a stopped school bus - even if they weren't the one driving. The provincial government needs to examine more de- terrence in the form of higher fines or more demerit points to deter bad driver behaviour around school buses and school zones. The last word goes to our school bus driver, who is im- ploring drivers to work with school bus drivers for a safe start to the school year. "Please remember to slow down around school zones. Be patient with the school buses and leave a safe distance between us on the road. We do carry the most precious car- go on the road. Together we can make a safe and happy school year." DRIVERS NEED TO STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES; STUDENTS' LIVES DEPEND ON IT This has been an atypi- cal year for the City of To- ronto. A vehicle-borne mass attack and a mass shooting shocked Canada's largest city. In the context of broader research in homicide stud- ies, the characteristics of mass killings evolve. Throughout the 20th cen- tury, such tragic occur- rences commonly involved family homicides, drug-re- lated massacres and work- place shootings. Rarely used today, the term "going postal" described disgrun- tled employees who lashed out in violent ways at work. It seems no community is fully immune today from these types of incidents. Vehicles, long recognized to be lethal weapons by Mothers Against Drunk Driving, may be the new weaponry that is used to carry out lethal attacks. Those who perpetrate mass killings share similar- ities to other types of killers. Mass murderers, school shooters and assassins do not see their actions as a wrong; rather, they see their killings as administration of justice. That is why these killers typically acquire their weapons lawfully. Those who feel mis- treated by their employers, co-workers, the govern- ment, bullies, or who pro- fess a particular cause, tend to communicate their grievance directly at the persons and institutions deemed to be responsible for their misery. With the popularity and accessibili- ty of social media, people are able to freely air their grievances at the entire world. This practice makes identifying potential at- tackers almost impossible. It is difficult to prevent public mass killings if they are conceptualized and ex- ecuted by individuals who have ready access to fire- arms. That's why law en- forcement's response to these attacks have changed since Columbine (1999) and Virginia Tech (2007). The response, now, is aimed at rapid intervention. Whether this new pre- vention strategy is suc- cessful in the longer term remains to be seen. Phillip Shon, PhD, teaches criminology at the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology. His research examines parri- cides (killing of parents).

AJAX - Residents can have a say in how the town spends money. Ajax is again holding its annual budget survey, giv- ing residents a chance for input on the 2019 capital and operating budgets. The survey, which runs to Sept. 30, notes how the town spends money and then asks residents if they approve. If they don't ap- prove, they are asked how the money should be spent. All input is provided to councillors as they prepare to debate the budget. Based on a home as- sessed at $424,100, the homeowner would pay al- most $4,900 in property tax- es. Of that, 55 per cent, or about $2,700 goes to Dur- ham Region, while 30 per cent, or a little under $1,500 goes to the town. The re- maining 15 per cent, or about $720, is for educa- tion. The survey asks respon- dents a maximum of five services offered by the town that they most sup- port and the five they least support. Town services include fire services, libraries, eco- nomic development, cul- tural activities, communi- ty centres, winter mainte- nance and roads mainte- nance. The survey can be found at www.ajax.ca.

"They put her in a stander (dur- ing class). It's stretching her muscles. It doesn't take away from anything in the class. It's just helping her while she's working away." Campbell Children's School is one of only six special schools in Ontario that is co-located in a chil- dren's treatment centre. For years, Campbell school could accept 28 students with special needs (mobili- ty, communication, etc.), and each year they try to place more children, de- pending on the amount of therapy spaces available at Grandview. "When children are here, they are accessing therapy services. Their ac- ademics and therapy are embedded in the school day," said Janet Harper, principal of Campbell Chil- dren's School. "We had 90 applicants, and we were able to take 45, and it's the largest number (of stu- dents) we've ever had." Parents across Durham who have young children with special needs apply to get their children into the special kindergarten school program. The child must be a Durham resident and attending Grandview to go to Campbell school for a year or two of kindergar- ten education. There are special criteria considered by the admission commit- tee. Children travel from as far east as Newtonville, as far north as Cannington and as far west as Picker- ing to attend the small clas- ses with specialized teach- ers. "The dream would be that those that apply who meet the criteria are able to come. That we're not say- ing they can't come be- cause of lack of space, which is what parents have been hearing for many years," said Harper. "It's a struggle for the admission committee to choose those who come, and it's very dif- ficult for those (families) who can't." For years, Grandview Children's Centre has been facing a growing need for services in an increasingly cramped space. The cur- rent Oshawa location opened in the early '80s and was designed to serve just 400 children. Since then, Durham Region's popula- tion has grown, and Grand- view now serves more than 5,000 children each year. The space pressure at Grandview also impacts the number of children that can attend Campbell Children's School. "Sometimes therapy happens in the classroom, sometimes in the hallway, sometimes in a treatment space," said Harper. "We have therapy on the play- ground. Our therapists are really creative." In 2017, funds were an- nounced for a new Grand- view Children's Centre, in the Ontario budget. The Town of Ajax donated lands for a new, larger Grandview facility. Camp- bell Children's School hopes to double in size in the new building. Grandview Kids, the foundation that fundraises for the children's centre, al- so supports the Campbell Children's School. Grand- view Kids will launch a new "Believe" fundraising campaign at the end of Sep- tember, for the new build- ing. "They're hoping for the capacity for 100 students. They're looking to more than double the capacity they have," said Lorraine Sunstrum-Mann, execu- tive director of Grandview Children's Centre. "The goal is to be able to support the number of kids nomi- nated for admission." As the school year be- gins, the incoming stu- dents and their families will meet with their Camp- bell/Grandview team to set goals. If the children reach their goals before the end of the school year, they can transition back to their home schools. The open space at Campbell school can then be offered to a child on the waiting list. "We see the success of kids who transition out," said Sunstrum-Mann. "Ev- erything we're doing here is about the kids' potential. It isn't about keeping kids within the walls of Grand- view forever. It's about giv- ing kids the skills to be suc- cessful in their communi- ties." From the first day of school, staff work toward preparing the young kids to transfer to their neigh- bourhood schools. To help kids be successful, Camp- bell school works with six local school boards (the public and Catholic school boards in Durham and Cla- rington, and two French school boards). It lends out equipment and invites edu- cators in to see what works for the child in the Camp- bell school's classrooms. "We help facilitate chil- dren reaching their poten- tial," said Harper. "In Sep- tember, when the children come off the buses, the hall- ways are very quiet. As they start reaching speech goals, and their confidence builds through therapy, they're louder. The hall- ways get really loud - it pleases us to no end to hear them."

PICKERING - No mat- ter one's age or interest, there's a good chance the maker space at the Picker- ing Public Library has an activity for them.The first MakerFest is coming up on Saturday, Sept. 15 at the Pickering Public Library's central branch, One The Esplanade in Picker- ing."It's a free event. They can drop in any time be- tween 10 (a.m.) and 3 (p.m.)," said Christy Harp- er, manager of technology services. A variety of stations will be set up in the maker space and in the kids' sec- tion. "We've got a how to sol- der station where people will be able to complete a mini project to take home with them," Harper said. Attendees can make buttons, try the sewing station, learn about the carving machine and vinyl cutter, and more. "We'll have a (virtual re- ality) gaming station where people can try out our VR equipment," Harp- er added. Kids can learn about coding with micro comput- ers in the mini maker's zone. The library's maker space opened in April. The area also includes a sound booth "which is proving to be one of the most popular pieces of equipment," Harper said. People use it to record music, project work, pod- casts and radio record- ings. Music store Long and McQuade will host a sound production booth at the event. The maker space also has a 3D printer. Library users simply complete an online certification for the printer in order to use it. "People are really tak- ing the opportunity to learn new skills, to work together collaboratively and learn from each other and to work hands on," said Harper. The maker space is de- signed for people 14 and older. Those under 14 can come in with a parent or guardian. When the library did its community consultation, staff talked to a number of seniors, and they were very interested in the space. "One of the things they did talk about is they don't want to be left behind as the community evolves," Harper said. One piece of equipment they had interest in was the sewing machine. "Being a part of the space allows them to be in- volved in our evolving community," said Harper. PICKERING'S MAKER SPACE INVITES PUBLIC TO TRY IT OUT The Pickering Public Library is gearing up for MakerFest, which celebrates the Maker Space in the library. It's been open since April and the public is welcome to come see and try the features it offers. Christy Harper, Manager of Technical Service for the Pickering Public Library, tried her hand at the T-shirt press. This is just one of the many cool items the public can try during the open house on Sept. 15 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland KRISTEN CALIS KCalis@durhamregion.com COMMUNITY dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , S e p t e m b e r 6 , 2 0 1 8 | 14 University hearing study seeks participants. ConnectHearing,withhearingresearcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants whoareover50yearsofageandhavenever worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improvelife-changing hearinghealthcare across Canada. Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing lossaffectsyoureverydaylife*.Inthisnew hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and hownewsolutionscouldhelpthesepeople takeactionsoonerandlivelifemorefully. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to87havesomedegreeofhearingloss1, butmostdonotseektreatmentrightaway. In fact, the average person with hearing losswillwaittenyearsbeforeseekinghelp2.

Notice of Public Meeting Lincolnville Layover and GO Station Improvements Environmental Project Report (EPR) Addendum Metrolinx and GO Transit Expansion Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is working to bring more transit connections to communities within the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) through the GO Expansion program. GO Expansion is Metrolinx’s 10-year program to bring more and better train service to customers on the GO network. As part of GO Expansion, Metrolinx is planning to build the new Lincolnville GO Station in your community. On September 13, we are hosting a public meeting to provide information about the new Lincolnville GO Station and to get your feedback. The Project Metrolinx is preparing an addendum to the Lincolnville Layover and GO Station Improvements Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) set out in Ontario Regulation 231/08: Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings.The TPAP has already been completed for the Lincolnville Layover site and an addendum is required to evaluate the potential environmental effects of a proposed new station. Project Location The site for the proposed Lincolnville GO Station is located at 12902 and 12958 Tenth Line in the Town of Whitchurch- Stouffville, south of the existing station and layover site, on the Stouffville Rail Corridor. Public Meeting Metrolinx is hosting a public meeting for the addendum to the Lincolnville Layover and GO Station Improvements Project, which will focus on the new Lincolnville GO Station. The purpose of this public meeting will be to: introduce the new GO Station; explain site selection; summarize existing environmental conditions, predicted effects and proposed mitigation measures; present a preliminary conceptual design for the station; solicit feedback; and discuss the next phases of the EPR addendum process. We invite you to join us in person to find out more: Date:Thursday, September 13, 2018 Meeting Time:6:00-8:00 P.M. Location:19 on the Park – Lebovic Centre for Arts & Entertainment, 19 Civic Avenue, Stouffville, ON The Addendum Process The Lincolnville Layover and GO Station Improvements Project underwent the TPAP process in 2017/18 and a Statement of Completion was submitted to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP, formerly MOECC) on April 17, 2018. As a result of a recently completed feasibility study and ongoing design work, it was determined that a new GO Station should be developed south of the existing station. A study area consisting of two new property lots to the southwest of the current station is being assessed for the new GO Station. As this will result in a change to the Environmental Project Report (EPR), Metrolinx is completing an addendum to the EPR to address the new GO Station. Environmental studies began in spring 2018, and the EPR addendum is expected to be completed in fall 2018. The final EPR addendum will be provided to the public for a 30-day comment period prior to being submitted to the MECP for Minister’s review. Additional information will be provided in a Notice of EPR addendum in fall 2018. Comments Invited We thank everyone for their feedback during the TPAP process, and we invite you to provide additional comments and feedback for the new GO Station location. We encourage members of the public, agencies, Indigenous communities and other interested persons to actively participate in the TPAP addendum process by visiting the website and contacting staff directly with comments or questions by email (see below for contact information).

Do they plead to bring along their electronic games or to be left at home alone? While some of us have fun-loving over-fifty parents who seem ever youthful and dynamic, many more of us have mothers and fathers who are elderly, frail, and lonely. It is understandable that our children might resist visiting a grandparent who is clueless about iPods, especially if it involves a trip to a nursing home. But for the sake of family, it is important to help the two generations find a way to relate. When planning a visit, pick a time of day when Grandma and Grandpa are likely to be awake and alert. If your children feel uncomfortable in their grandparents’ tiny apartment or nursing home, try inviting your parents to spend time with you and your children at a café or restaurant; the event might be considered a real treat, by both young and old. If conversation is the challenge, perhaps because the elderly person has hearing difficulties or cognitive loss, you might suggest an activity that requires little talk but that has togetherness-appeal — perhaps a game of dominoes AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E GrandparentsGrandparentsdaydaySEPTEMBER 9, 2018 or lawn bowling. The most important thing is to respect everybody’s feelings by listening to them. If Grandpa is sad because he doesn’t get more frequent visits, offer him some empathy and then steer the conversation back to a neutral topic. If your child is frus- trated because he or she would rather be doing something else, offer some under- standing and thank them for making an effort. Hopefully, with time, your children will see that visiting elderly grandparents is just a part of taking care of family. dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , S e p t e m b e r 6 , 2 0 1 8 | 18 ac.stepracgnik.www | 7487-138-509 gnirekciP ,7 tinU .dR kcorB 0501 morf esoohc ot sngised 005 revO | noitceleS eguH nosaes gnirps eht rof emoh ruoy ecnahne ot gur aera wen a pu kciP A GOOD DAY FOR ART Andrea Prosser, who just moved to Ajax from Norfolk, Virginia, enjoyed painting on the shores of Lake Onatrio in Rotary Park on Sept. 1. Shay Conroy photo COMMUNITY Sunshine even in the rain - that's goldenrod for you! At long last, green roadsides, meadows, trail corridors and natural areas are awash in bright yellow, cheering up any- one who dreads seeing days start to shorten and summer begin to wind down. Yellow is my favourite colour, and paus- ing by a stand of goldenrod to watch the feathery blooms waving in the wind is a won- derful September pastime. While you're at it, be sure to check out all the pollinators crawling about on the blos- soms, guzzling pollen and nec- tar. It's easy to see them, set off against the gold, and most goldenrod species' waist-high stalks mean you don't have to bend over to study them. Bees, wasps, flies and beetles - they're all so busy feasting they likely won't even notice a giant human peering down at them. I must have seen a dozen dif- ferent insects on goldenrod along the Waterfront Trail when my husband and I went biking there on the long week- end. Bumble bees, sweat bees and honeybees, and a host of flies that mimic them. Leaf beetles, soldier beetles, paper wasps, potter wasps and yel- low jackets. Ringlets, cres- cents, clouded and orange sul- phur butterflies, and a heart- ening number of monarchs fu- elling up for their mammoth migration to Mexico in weeks to come. And of course, spiders try- ing to catch them all, draping their sticky webs from stem to stem, or hiding amid the blos- soms, lying in wait. Our native goldenrods, some 20 species in Ontario, can't pollinate themselves, having heavy, sticky pollen that falls to the ground instead of blowing in the wind like the fine light pollen of ragweed, the true source of fall allergies. Goldenrod's tiny rayed florets, clustered together atop bob- bing, branching stems, each produce a tiny cylindrical seed covered in hairs that help with wind dispersal of the plant it- self. To become pollinated, each goldenrod spray entices insects to come crawl on it, us- ing colour, perfume and a lav- ish buffet of sugars, proteins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals to attract them. Sam- pling flower after flower, their visitors deliver that essential, precious pollen from one to an- other, exactly as their golden- rod hosts intended.

Kin Lai was scheduled to ap- ply for release on bail Sept. 4, but his lawyer told a justice of the peace that the application isn't ready to proceed. Instead lawyer Fariborz Da- voudi asked that Lai be remanded for an appearance by video in court Sept. 18. Davoudi said he's awaiting disclosure of evidence by the Crown. Lai, 42, of Richmond Hill, has been in custody since the three- vehicle crash on Raglan Road near Thornton Road at about 10:20 p.m. Aug. 25. Durham police said a westbound SUV side- swiped one vehicle, then came in- to contact with another vehicle. The crash killed a 42-year-old woman who Davoudi confirmed was Lai's wife. Also seriously in- jured was a three-year-old girl; a publication ban prohibits report- ing information that would iden- tify the child. Lai faces charges including impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, and breaching the no-alco- hol rule for novice drivers. Outside court Davoudi said Lai, who does not speak English and has never been in jail, is go- ing through an extremely diffi- cult time. "It's a very tragic situa- tion," the lawyer said. "This whole thing is overwhelming for him emotionally." Davoudi said he's hopeful to launch a bail application for Lai following his next court appear- ance.

Two suspects were quickly taken into custo- dy by officers responding to the break-in, at a stor- age yard at Stevenson Road and Laval Drive around 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 2, while a third fled on foot, Durham police said. That person was eventual- ly located by a canine team and is accused of kicking an officer during his arrest. The suspect was treated at hospital for minor injuries. Evan Dart, 28, of Re- naissance Drive, Oshawa, is charged with theft, pos- session of property ob- tained by crime and as- sault with intent to resist arrest.

That's when they start looking at hiring a sport psychologist to give them a competitive edge. In this enlightened day and age, most educated people know that athletes can be- come very despondent when they make mistakes continuously and fail to make it to the next level of their sport. We live in a very compet- itive world, where even a one or two per cent perfor- mance improvement can make the difference be- tween winners and losers. We all know that the mind can make a huge impact on performance, positively and negatively. Kids are highly motivated to learn and work hard if they can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately in the high pressure environ- ment of competitive sports there are only so many scholarships awarded each year at the best schools and universities. Only a select few athletes are chosen for the best teams. If you don't play for the best teams at a young age you can get very disap- pointed and stop trying to improve. Young athletes don't always know how to break a slump or how to be- lieve in their vast inner po- tential. Playing on a second rate team makes you feel like you'll be a second rate athlete all your life. I see young athletes who are even younger than 10 who have lots of talent but believe they can never go any further because all of the hype about the current stars and teams who are said to be so much better and more talented than they are. It is a shame that kids so young are made to feel inferior, not just now but for the rest of their lives. When young kids and adolescents learn they have vast hidden reserves of energy, talent and skill and realize their true po- tential they come alive and are filled with excitement and passion. Sport psychol- ogists work with young athletes to help them be- lieve in their higher self and realize they can be a champion if they have an open mind and learn how to think better, feel better and act like a champion. Sports psychologists work with young athletes to not give up and relish the challenges and lessons gained from making mis- takes, with a change in mindset, attitude and con- fidence. Even if the young ath- lete does not make it to the Olympics or the profes- sional leagues they can learn to make the best of what they have in all areas of their lives.

WHY MORE YOUNG ATHLETES ARE USING SPORT PSYCHOLOGISTS OPINION COLUMNIST DOUG SMITH SAYS KIDS HAVE VAST HIDDEN RESERVES OF TALENT DR. DOUGLAS SMITH Column PICKERING - The Pick- ering Panthers hope to keep building on a solid foundation laid over the past few seasons by head coach and general manag- er, David DeMarinis. With the 2018-19 Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) campaign set to be- gin Friday, Sept. 7 against the Whitby Fury, DeMari- nis isn't quite talking championships just yet, but he does expect his team to compete every night, take another step forward and fight for a title in the revamped North Division. "I think this group has the capability of achieving success, but all I've told our players to be honest with you, is give yourselves a chance to win every night and we'll see how it goes," DeMarinis said after com- pleting a 2-1-0-1 pre-season. "It's not a championship or bust with this group ... They're a talented group, they've got a lot of potential and I can see a lot of growth by the end of the year, but the league is very difficult." With Lindsay moving over to the East division, the Panthers will now only be competing with Aurora, Newmarket, Markham and Stouffville for the four playoff spots available in the North under a new for- mat. Each of the four divi- sions will then crown a winner in the post-season, followed by a cross over where North plays West and South meets East. "We want a division championship, we really want that," DeMarinis said. "Our program should be taking a step now. We shouldn't have to build all the time. Now we've laid a foundation, the house is building, so we should just keep going for things and getting better, and pushing kids to the next level." DeMarinis expects the team to be deeper and more experienced than a year ago, when they improved to 26-24-1-3 from 9-42-1-2 and went seven games in the first round against eventu- al champion Wellington. He says the strength of the team will be on the blue-line, where they wel- come back Boston Bruins draft pick Dustyn McFaul along with Joseph Franzin, Mitchell Doyle and Nathan Porter to go with 20-year- old newcomer Michael Ci- mini from the Cobourg Cougars. "I think our back end is really, really good," DeMa- rinis said. "It's going to be the heart and soul of our team. I couldn't ask for a better back end at the start of the year." The loss of captain Josh Argier, Andrew Hughes and Brock Traill, the top three scorers from last sea- son, will hurt, DeMarinis agreed, but he expects An- drew Poulias, Adam Whea- ton, Jacob Roach and new- comer Nathan Gooch to help fill the void, supported by the likes of Jacob Dida- nieli, Toby Cooper, Daniel Ebrahim, Elijah Pilosof and Justin Jacobs. "We've got a lot of re- turning guys with junior experience going into their second or third year," De- Marinis said. "I don't think we've seen this kind of depth probably in five or 10 years here." The biggest loss from last season's team, per- haps, will be goalie Ethan Langevin, whom DeMari- nis expects to stick with the Ontario Hockey League's Sarnia Sting. Tyler Szcze- paniak, an Erie Otters draft pick, and Andrew Vi- gliatore have been added from the Jr. B ranks to share the duties for now. "It's a long year and I know everyone is going to have their ups and downs, but I think these two guys can stabilize it and carry the load," DeMarinis said. "Hopefully one of them can win the job by Christmas." Sadly, a byproduct of the format change will see Durham rivals Pickering and Whitby meet only once this season - the 7:30 p.m. season-opener at the Pick- ering Recreation Complex - and thus the scrapping of the Bollocks Cup competi- tion hatched last year.

Shay Conroy photo LACROSSE OSHAWA - While it re- mains to be seen if the Pros- pects Bar and Grill will be introducing an Eggenberg- er for the 2018-19 hockey season, it seems likely that fans of the Oshawa Gener- als are going to like their newest addition from Swit- zerland. Nando Eggenberger didn't take long to make his presence felt for the Onta- rio Hockey League (OHL) club, scoring the first goal of training camp en route to potting a pair over the five scrimmage contests. In pre-season play, the six-foot-two, 207-pound left-winger was held with- out a point in his debut, a 4-1 win in Mississauga, but then fired a hat trick in a 6-5 shootout loss in Peter- borough. The early impressions made on general manager Roger Hunt and head coach Greg Walters were certainly favourable, even before he lit up the Petes. "I think we knew we were going to get a good player. He's a big body, a 200-pound winger, but what's impressed me a lot is how quick he can move," said Hunt, who selected Eg- genberger with the 33rd pick of the import draft. "I don't know if he's just a fast skater, but he seems to close people down so quick- ly. I think as he acclimatiz- es himself to the game over here, certainly he'll be real good." Both Hunt and Walters agreed Eggenberger has top-six potential in the league, although with the depth currently available to the Generals, that could place him on any of the top three lines. "It's going to take him a while to get adjusted to Canada and the ice surface, but what a big horse and very good defensively, good habits," Walters said. "I think there's a lot of offence that's going to come from him once he gets comfort- able. He's a big man, and we're going to get him to the blue paint a lot." Like all European play- ers who come over to play junior hockey in North America, Eggenberger is adjusting to life both on and off the ice. He has the advantage, however, of drawing on the experience of defenceman Nico Gross, who grew up a 1½-hour drive away in Switzerland and used his time with the Generals last season to help himself get drafted by the New York Rangers. Eggenberger, while passed over in the same NHL draft, still hopes to reach that level, as well, and will attend the training camp of the Vancouver Ca- nucks. "When you play in North America, you have to learn the game here; and when you can play the game here, the chances are better to come to the NHL," said Eggenberger, who played on the Swiss world junior team with Gross the past two years. "You have to decide quicker what to do with the puck, and I think it's more physical here than in Switzerland. That's the two most difficult things." Eggenberger, who turns 19 in October, was expected to get drafted in 2018 but struggled through a three- goal, five-point season in 36 games with HC Davos, in the top men's league in Switzerland. As captain of the world junior team, he was held without a point and was a team-worst mi- nus-9 in five games. Described as a two-way power forward with a quick shot and very good acceleration, Eggenberger now hopes to put those tools together and contrib- ute to what's expected to be a contending Generals team this season.

A Spirit Walk: Call to Rebellion! has been pre- sented for more than two decades, with people from across Durham and be- yond involved. It's a live production of the conditions leading up to and the consequences of the ill-fated Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, in which local people played a prom- inent role. The actors in the award-winning play are from Backwood's Play- ers, Pickering Museum Village's theatre group. Oshawa resident John Edmonds, the director, is passionate about local his- tory. And, like many cast and crew members, he's been involved in the play for a long time. "We became a bit of a family," he says. "After 23 years, there's a lot of sto- ries." Cowriter Barb Pleva has played one of the Han- nahs, the guides who take audience members around the village from scene to scene, for many years. One time, Edmonds notes, she was driving herself to the village when her car broke down near Highway 7 and Brock Road. Undeterred, Pleva set out for the village on foot along Highway 7 - in period costume. On another occasion, not enough tickets were sold for the seven tours one day. Edmonds told another Hannah, the seventh Han- nah, not to come to the vil- lage as she wouldn't be needed that night. Near the end of the evening, it appeared there were enough sales for a seventh show. As a result, the sev- enth Hannah got in her car and drove over. But as the show was running, the gates were locked so, in costume and in the dark, she climbed over the fence and made her way to the village - only to be told there weren't enough sales for a seventh show after all. "Things happen - and that's part of the fun," Ed- monds says. He notes this year was the easiest to cast as virtu- ally everybody from last year is back. "Last year, not only did we sell out, we oversold, so we had to add shows," Edmonds says. Twenty-five descen- dants of Peter Matthews, the Pickering soldier and farmer who was hanged for treason for his role in the rebellion, will be mak- ing the trip from Michigan and Massachusetts to see the play. Last year, almost twice that number were here, each sporting a shirt that read, "I'm a rebel." Edmonds says the histo- ry of the rebellion isn't just something you can read in books, but something you can experience in A Spirit Walk - where it occurred. "You (museum visitors) are walking in an area where it happened," he says. Edmonds notes the Gov- ernment of Ontario has discovered the foundation of a barn on the federal air- port lands and believes it is from Peter Matthews's farm. A Spirit Walk is per- formed Sept. 14, 15, 21 and 22 at the village, 2365 Con- cession Rd. 6, Greenwood (north Pickering, just west of Westney Road). Actors playing Hannah Matthews, the widow of Pe- ter Matthews, lead seven, candlelit tours a day start- ing at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $25 each, available at pickering.ca/ museum or in person at the museum gift shop.

The Juno-winning Ca- nadian pop star plays Osh- awa's Regent Theatre on Sept. 14. She is this year's guest at the annual Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences event, which features music art- ists who have a strong per- sonal connection to mental health. Lights released her fourth record, Skin and Earth, late last year. It's a concept album which she adapted into a comic book series she created herself. Lights, who has battled depression, has said men- tal health is at the heart of the story and that the al- bum and comic book series are her way of talking about it. That's why the Imagine Festival was created 11 years ago, said Chris Bovie, external relations officer for Ontario Shores. "Often people that are struggling are looking for a platform, an opportunity to reach out, and these kinds of things help," he said of the concert. Listening to a respected artist sing about their trou- bles can be "a catalyst" for others to find the courage to face their own, he said. With the Imagine Festi- val, he said Ontario Shores wants to reach people who might not attend a mental health talk. The event was previous- ly held at Ontario Shores in Whitby and was done inter- view style, with talk and music. But Bovie said the format needed some tweak- ing as people who came out wanted to hear the musi- cian perform. Ultimately, the interview part was dis- carded. "The message was in the music," he said. Lights has said that making Skin and Earth helped her deal with "de- pression and inner de- mons." "I wanted to show for once how our weaknesses should be viewed as part of our story and our darkness can lead to our power," she said in a press release. "I al- ways jump at the chance to make sure we change the stigma surrounding men- tal health. Anything that can lead to openly talking about our journeys is im- portant and relevant." Singer/songwriter Nefe is also performing at the Oshawa concert, which starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $50 or $100. The latter is for the VIP package that includes a pre-show party at 7 p.m., a Lights Collector Pin Set and a gift from Ontario Shores. For tickets, visit regent- theatre.ca, call the box of- fice at 1-905-721-3399, ext. 2 or visit the theatre in per- son at 50 King St. E. The concert is recom- mended for those 14 years and older. – Source: Lights SHINING A LIGHT ON MENTAL HEALTH IN OSHAWA MIKE RUTA MRuta@durhamregion.com WHAT’S ON Three-time Juno Award-winner Lights is this year's performer in the Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences' Imagine Festival.
