PICKERING - A grassroots or-
ganization has big plans to
change the landscape of Canadi-
an health care, and they want to
start in Durham Region.
Black Physicians of Tomor-
row (BPT), which began as a stu-
dent club, has a mission to bring
more diversity to medicine and to
make the profession a more in-
clusive area for skilled black men
and women to work in.
In order to achieve this, the
group is fostering young talent
and ambition with all the tools at
its disposal to see them through
their academic journeys.
"Science, technology, engi-
neering and math (STEM) profi-
ciency is our goal," said Jamar

Michelle de Lyon, Jamar Grandison and Monique Genard are gearing up for Black Physicians of Tomorrow's new
tutoring program being offered to black youth. The program's purpose is to increase the number of black youth in
STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and to give more black youth the opportunity to become
physicians.

PICKERING - She sur-
vived week one and now
Ann Marie Whitten from
Pickering is hoping her
baking skills keep her in
The Great Canadian Bak-
ing Show tent for seven
more weeks.
An operations manag-
er, Whitten, 49, was one of
the 10 bakers chosen from
thousands who applied to
compete in the second sea-
son of CBC's popular bak-
ing show. Two hundred
were then asked to audi-
tion, with Whitten getting
one of the 10 spots.
"I am a big fan of the Brit-
ish version and excited for
the Canadian version," said
Whitten during an inter-
view before the first episode
aired last week. She was in-
formed about the audition
by her friends and family. "I
came home and my social
media was flooded (about
the audition),"she said
Each week, the 10 bak-
ers compete in three chal-
lenges - the signature
bake, a technical challenge
and the show stopper. Two
judges critique the baked
creations and at the end of
each show, one baker is
sent home.
Whitten only started
baking three years ago af-
ter her husband said she
needed a new hobby to
help with her stress. He
bought a mixer and she fell
in love with the science of
baking.
"It is very methodical. I
love the magic of the sci-
ence," she says.
She enjoys baking pies,
cakes and "a bit of every-
thing" but notes bread can
be finicky. "It can be a lot of
trial and error," she says.
Married eight years, the
couple moved to Pickering
from Toronto just a few
years ago. She loves the
city and enjoys living by
the water where she can go
kayaking and pursue pho-
tography.
Whiten says the contes-
tants know in advance if
they are making cakes or
breads, but the technical
challenge is a surprise.
Last week, the bakers had
to prepare an upside down
cake for the signature
bake; an airy orange chif-
fon cake for the technical
challenge; and a layered
birthday cake for the
showstopper.
While the show was
filmed during the summer,
Whitten gives only the
slightest hint of how she
did, saying she is on the
show for a while.
The Great Canadian
Baking Show airs Wednes-
day at 8 p.m. on CBC. You
can also watch it on CBC
streaming platforms.

EDITORIAL
LETTERS & COMMENTARY
It's safe to say Durham residents will be ushering in
a new era as big changes are coming to the makeup of
regional council following next month's municipal
election.
Many of the old guard, people who've sat in council
seats for many years, have decided to step away from
municipal politics.
Among the retiring list is regional Chair Gerri
Lynn O'Connor, who was temporarily appointed to the
job after the death of former regional chair Roger
Anderson. O'Connor, before the appointment, had
announced she was not running to be Uxbridge mayor
again. She lent a steady hand to the important region-
al role.
Regional council retirees also include Uxbridge
Coun. Jack Ballinger, John Aker (Oshawa), Joe
Drumm (Whitby), Joe Kolodize (Oshawa), Amy
McQuaid-England (Oshawa), Steve Parish (Ajax), Tom
Rowett (Scugog) and Willie Woo (Clarington).
Two of the longest-serving were Whitby Coun.
Drumm, who ended a long career in municipal politics
that has spanned 41 years, including 30 years on re-
gional council; and Ajax Mayor Parish, who's served
as Ajax mayor and a regional councillor for the past 23
years.
We owe a debt of gratitude to these community lead-
ers. We understand it's never an easy feat to balance
the demands of public and private life. So, we thank
them for the time and energies they've devoted to pub-
lic service.
With the election looming, only weeks away, we
encourage Durham citizens to become informed on the
issues facing their communities over the next four
years. Be engaged and learn more about the candi-
dates and their platforms, and vote on Oct. 22. There
are plenty of election forums, meet-the-candidate
nights and debates throughout the region to allow
citizens to make informed choices on election day.
Please take advantage of these opportunities.
With so many of the long-standing regional council-
lors choosing to step away from municipal politics, the
experience they brought to the region will most cer-
tainly be missed; yet we are excited over how the new
blood and especially new, bold ideas will move our
region forward to a better future.

RELIGION IS NOT A MAT-
TER FOR MAJORITY RULES
To the editor:
Re: South Pickering Se-
niors' Club drops Lord's
Prayer following complaint,
News Advertiser Sept. 19.
Thank you for covering
the story of religious dis-
crimination at the South
Pickering Seniors' Club.
Longtime Club President
Ed Fry claims the 1,000 club
members voted 99% to over-
ride their own Constitution
and operate as a Christian
rather than a secular club.
Yet I didn't receive any no-
tice or proxy nor did any of
my friends at the Club. Any
such vote would be a sad tes-
tament to religious intoler-
ance at the SPSC, but legally
meaningless; Mr. Fry can-
not override the Ontario
Human Rights Code.
Religion is not a matter
for majority rule! Yet I have
found this to be a very pop-
ular misconception in Pick-
ering. I am constantly being
told by well-meaning Chris-
tians and even some Jews
that I should assimilate with
the Christians because they
are the majority.
There seems to be a gen-
uine belief that majority
rule applies to everything,
even religion. The idea of
majority rule for religion is
extremely dangerous. It's al-
so known as fascism (politi-
cal bullying).
The whole point of de-
mocracy, what millions of
Canadians have died fight-
ing for, is to protect individ-
ual rights, especially the
rights of minorities, so that
every single one of us gets
respected and included.
And those who seek to bow
others to their religious be-
liefs are the very definition
of bigot. Yes, I use the word
bigot advisedly. Merriam
Webster defines bigot as a
person who is obstinately
devoted to his or her own
opinions and prejudices and
intolerant of others, espe-
cially religious minorities.

OCAA DOES NOT RECEIVE
FUNDING FROM NATURAL
GAS INDUSTRY
Re: Letter to the editor:
OCAA a gas-funded lobby
group says reader
Letter writer Jennifer
Hay raises a number of
baseless allegations about
the intentions of the Onta-
rio Clean Air Alliance in
calling for the closure of
the aging Pickering Nucle-
ar Station.
The OCAA does not re-
ceive funding from the nat-
ural gas industry. We do
not support replacing pow-
er from Pickering with
power from natural gas-
fired power plants. And
wed have carefully and
thoroughly documented
the ability of Quebec to
supply sufficient power to
replace power from Picker-
ing - at a fraction of the cost
of extending Pickering.
Ms. Hay and any other
readers are welcome to
read these fully referenced
reports on our website at
cleanairalliance.org where
we also list our funding
sources.

Relax, You’ve Earned It!
Relax
You’ve Earned It!
DURHAM - A new Durham Catholic Dis-
trict School Board report outlines some of
the curriculum revisions for the 2018-2019
school year, including a government direc-
tive to focus on math fundamentals, and a
repeal of the 2015 sex-education curricu-
lum.
The DCDSB will be setting aside a PA day
on Oct. 22, to focus on math fundamentals.
The report notes the government direc-
tion on math doesn't change the current
Grade 1 to 8 math curriculum, "but rather
highlights particular expectations mainly
associated with number sense and numera-
tion and patterning and algebra."
The DCDSB will continue teaching sex
education through the Fully Alive pro-
gram, sponsored and developed with the
approval of the Catholic Bishops of Ontario
and last updated in 2016.
"It is the expectation that all elementary
teachers will continue to teach the ap-
proved Family Life curriculum which is
consistent with our faith, using our current
Fully Alive resources ..." the report notes.
The DCDSB says there will be regular
communication sent home to advise par-
ents of the themes being covered in the Ful-
ly Alive program.

"I don't believe we
should have a code of ethics
if we can't live with it""
I wrote those words on
April 8, 1984 in a memo to
then Star deputy managing
editor John Miller who was
tasked with the important
job of creating the Toronto
Star's first written code of
conduct for its journalists
and who had reached out to
the newsroom for our in-
put.
As an idealistic young
"cityside" general assign-
ment reporter in that news-
room, I had strong views on
the need for an ethics guide
for journalists. In my long-
winded memo, the print-
out of which I have saved in
my files all these years, I
told him: "I don't believe
anyone can work in the
newspaper business with-
out confronting questions
of ethics head-on.
"I think each of us has
our own personal code of
ethics and strive to live by it
as we do our job... But, I still
think it's important for the
paper to lay down the stan-
dards it wants to uphold."
Some 24 years later - dur-
ing which time I was away
from the Star for 16 years
teaching journalism and
working in what we called
"new media" in the late
1990s - here I am to tell you
about the latest iteration of
the Torstar Journalistic
Standards Guide published
last week on our website
and on all Torstar news
sites. And to tell you also,
that everything that ideal-
ist young reporter believed
all those years ago about
the importance of journal-
istic standards holds true
for me in today's 24/7 multi-
platform newsrooms.
Most important, in this
new era of misinformation
and dwindling trust, when
journalists must work
harder than ever to earn
the trust of our readers, I
believe strongly in the ac-
countability and transpar-
ency of having a well-
thought out guide to jour-
nalism standards - and of
making it easily accessible
to readers. To that end, a
link to the guide is now em-
bedded on every piece of
content on thestar.com.
Links to the guide are also
published on all other Tor-
star news sites.
As the standards guide
makes clear, these policies
apply to all Torstar editori-
al staff in the creation and
publication of all editorial
content on any platform.
They also apply to all free-
lancers when creating con-
tent for Torstar news-
rooms.
The introduction to this
guide makes clear its pur-
pose:
"This 2018 version of the
Torstar Journalistic Stan-
dards Guide provides a
comprehensive code of
journalistic principles and
conduct to guide us in our
mission: to responsibly en-
gage and connect with our
readers on all platforms
with trusted news, informa-
tion and content to help
make their lives, their com-
munities, our country and
our world better."
But it also recognizes
the fact that no journalism
standards guide can antici-
pate all the possibilities
journalists might face in
the complex work of report-
ing, writing and presenting
the news on many plat-
forms. Believe me, journal-
ism is far more complex
now than when I was a 20-
something reporter.
As the guide now states:
"No code of conduct can
cover every eventuality in
the 24-7 production of news
and information on multi-
ple platforms. Common
sense, good judgment and
the journalist's own moral
compass must be brought
to bear on any set of guide-
lines."
In line with this news or-
ganization's increased com-
mitment to the transparen-
cy that helps build trust
with our readers, the guide
asks that we be able to ex-
plain the journalistic judg-
ments we make:
"We should be prepared
to explain publicly what we
do in gathering and pre-
senting news and informa-
tion and the journalistic
judgments involved in all
we publish."
Such transparency is
not always easy for journal-
ists. But the demands of
transparency and the in-
creased need for greater
media literacy make for a
greater than ever impera-
tive that journalists be able
to explain what they do and
how and why they do it. I
have always believed we
owe that to our audiences.
These Torstar journal-
ism standards, some of
which date back to even be-
fore Miller first set them
down in a Toronto Star eth-
ics code in 1984, were re-
viewed and updated in past
months by a committee that
included me, Toronto Star
editor Irene Gentle, Star-
Metro editor-in-chief Cath-
rin Bradbury, Hamilton
Spectator editor-in-chief,
Paul Berton and Torstar
Community Brands direc-
tor of content, Joanne
Burghardt, with input from
several reporters and edi-
tors across our Torstar
newsrooms.
In updating this guide,
we aimed to make it reflec-
tive of current digital real-
ities while staying true to
the principles that have
long guided our journalism
-most importantly - accu-
racy, fairness and indepen-
dence from those we cover.
I expect you will hear
much more specific stan-
dards in days to come.
Meanwhile, I invite you to
check them out for your-
self.

skill workshops in Pickering.
The group's upcoming STEM
Works tutoring program will
launch in October and will be free
for all black high school students
in Durham Region between the ag-
es of 13 and 19. Drop-in tutoring
sessions will take place every Sat-
urday after the launch from 9:30
a.m. to noon, except for holidays or
over school breaks. Complementa-
ry food and refreshments will be
provided.
"We received $200,000 ... from
the Ontario Trillium Founda-
tion," Grandison said.
The funding comes from the
Youth Opportunities Fund and
will go toward BPT's goal to facil-
itate programs and provide op-
portunities that will reduce sys-
temic barriers, improve STEM
literacy and life skills for black
youth in order to improve their
access to medicine and allied
health professions.
Grandison attended York Uni-
versity and other board members
hail from the University of Onta-
rio Institute of Technology
(UOIT) and Durham College.
Grandison personally sees a
lot of black students moving to-
ward the arts but would like to
"economically improve the cul-
ture of this group.
"I think having that objective
in mind to tackle these more so-
phisticated careers in society
shouldn't be limited to other eth-
nic groups," Grandison said. "I
think there should be a greater
want and desire."
Grandison believes the more
black professionals in STEM-
based fields, the more encourag-
ing it will be for others.
"Being someone in a field with
someone who looks like you, you
kind of see yourself in their
shoes. It gives you a much greater
sense of confidence that you can
aspire to do this," he said.
Grandison cited a document
by York University's Carl James
that states 26 per cent of Ontario
is racialized. With that number
more than doubling in years to
come, there lies a need for health
professionals to mirror the di-
verse population they will serve
in Canada, he said.
Serena Thompson, vice chair
of the Sickle Cell Association of
Ontario, would like to see more
diversity in the medical field as
well.
"There is a lack of diversity
right now and it's really preva-
lent. We have to rely on whoever
is taking care of us at that mo-
ment and hopefully they under-
stand and have compassion and
empathy basically," she said.
She thinks BPT's program is a
fantastic one.
"It's really encouraging when
we see health care professionals
from our same background ...
taking care of us and understand-
ing what the disease is," she said.
She hopes community organi-
zations and schools will spread
the word and encourage young
people to take advantage of the
tutoring program.
Grandison says many factors
influence students dropping out
of school, but the plan is to tackle
at least one of them.
"We know drop out rates, a lot of
them, are influenced with strug-
gling in school academically," he
said.
Grandison noted the study by
James in which he notes the need
of black parents to become better
informed about the school sys-
tem and post-secondary educa-
tion options to be able to support
their children in choosing the
right career and education path-
way. With this in mind, BPT's pro-
gram will be designed to be infor-
mative for both students and
their caregivers.
For the first year, the work-
shops will focus on tutoring, but
it may provide more complex
support in the future.
"I want them to know they are
able to do it and we're going to
make sure they can do it at the
end of the program,"
he said.
BPT is not the only
organization interest-
ed in encouraging
black youth to enter
STEM-based fields.
The Province of
Ontario in 2017 an-
nounced a govern-
ment-led initiative to
boost the number of
black youth in fields
such as engineering,
finance and insur-
ance, through target-
ed career training and work-
placement programs. The yearly
$1.5 million investment is part of
the government's Black Youth
Action Plan, which is spending
$47 million in total on strategies
to help 10,000 black youth and
families who face higher unem-
ployment rates and lower in-
comes.
Other groups are interested in
addressing the lack of black chil-
dren going into the STEM fields.
Tech Spark is a program fo-
cusing on bringing tech educa-
tion to girls and children of col-
our. It offers tech education to
kids ages six to 17 through in-
school programs, workshops and
camps. Aside from offering a pro-
gram at Bolton C. Falby Public
School in Ajax for lunch hour ses-
sions, in May about 150 students
from five elementary schools
spent a day learning about virtu-
al reality, coding, game making,
drones and app building.
The BPT program launch will
take place on Saturday, Oct. 13 at
Sarah McDonald Place, 1467
Whites Rd. N. in Pickering. Doors
open at 9:30 a.m. and the building
is wheelchair accessible.
For more information on the
program, email info@bptcom-
munity.ca or find Black Physi-
cians of Tomorrow on Facebook.
The website bptcommunity.ca
is expected to launch in the com-
ing weeks.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY
The Durham District School Board launched in September the Compendium of Action
for Black Student Success to address "systemic racism" faced by black students. It
includes a list of action items such as hiring more black teachers, and more equity and
anti-black racism training for school staff. Reporter Kristen Calis was then contacted by
Black Physicians of Tomorrow letting her know about the group's plans. She decided to
look into what was available in Durham for black students wishing to pursue STEM
subjects.
"I think having that objective in mind to tackle
these more sophisticated careers in society
shouldn't be limited to other ethnic groups."

DURHAM - In most of
the region, yard and leaf
waste collection will ramp
up during the week of Oct.
1.
Yard and leaf waste col-
lection will change to
weekly service through the
fall.
The increased service is
in Pickering, Ajax, Cla-
rington and the townships
of Brock, Scugog and Ux-
bridge. Collection in Whit-
by and Oshawa is the re-
sponsibility of those com-
munities and they are re-
maining with every other
week pick-up.
The last scheduled yard
and leaf waste collection is
set for Friday, Dec. 7.
About 70 per cent of
yard and leaf waste is col-
lected in October and No-
vember. Along with green
bin organics, the waste is
turned into high-quality
compost.
Residents should check
their waste management
calendars, visit dur-
ham.ca/waste or download
the Durham Region waste
app to see their specific col-
lection days.
Residents in Whitby and
Oshawa should contact
their local community
about collection informa-
tion.
Yard and leaf waste
should be put in kraft paper
bags, or clearly labelled rig-
id open-top reusable con-
tainers. Brush should be se-
curely tied in bundles up to
one metre (three feet) in
length and 76 centimetres
(30 inches) in width, weigh-
ing no more than 20 kilo-
grams (44 pounds). Brush
and tree trimmings must be
10 centimetres (four inches)
or less in diameter.
Yard waste set out in
plastic bags will not be col-
lected.

AJAX - A series of debates
are being held over the next
couple of weeks to give resi-
dents a chance to hear where
candidates stand on the issues.
Ajax is holding the debates,
with a third-party moderator
being retained to run the de-
bates.
On Tuesday, Sept. 25, the de-
bate will feature candidates
running in Ward 2. The local
candidates will debate from
6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m., followed
by the regional candidates
from 8 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. It's be-
ing held at the Audley Recre-
ation Centre, community room
1, at 1955 Audley Rd. N.
The candidates running in
Ward 1 square off on Wednes-
day, Sept. 26, in the banquet

6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. and the re-
gional hopefuls from 8 p.m. to
9:15 p.m.
The Ward 3 candidates will
face off on Thursday, Sept. 27,
in the HMS Room of the Ajax
Community Centre, 75 Centen-
nial Rd. The same format will

first followed by the regional
candidates.
The candidates seeking to be
mayor will debate on Monday,

ing held in the HMS Room of
the ACC.
A meet and greet for school

starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Rota-
ry Room of the main branch of
the Ajax Public Library, 55

SERIES OF DEBATES FOR
CANDIDATES RUNNING IN AJAX
MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Witnessing the wind last Fri-
day, watching great pines swirl
and whip beneath a glowering,
bucketing sky, was scary
enough. Then came a loud crack
-transformer blowing? Tree
falling? And the power went off
... for the next six hours.
Worse than that was walking
up the road when the deluge
stopped and finding it blocked
by a wall of green - the fallen top
of a magnificent leafy sugar ma-
ple more than three times older
than I am. And then discovering
it was just one of five mature
maples taken down in five min-
utes of violent, straight-line
winds.
The one good thing about
such a tragedy is how neigh-
bours band together and help
out. Right away supper plans
were put aside, and chainsaws
buzzed until dark. Then started
up again in the night when hy-
dro crews arrived with big buck-
et-lift trucks and flashing lights,
to clear the road, splice the bro-
ken lines and hang them up
again. By midnight our refriger-
ator was humming, the ice
cream rescued.
Morning light revealed how
the neighbourhood had changed
-here and there a jagged arm
left standing where most of a
tree, its trunk a metre thick, had
been ripped away. Trees where
generations of squirrels nested,
cicadas sang and owls roosted.
Trees that turned our street a
vibrant green each May, red and
gold each October.
Somehow, by a great stroke of
fortune, every tree that came
down missed hitting a house,
car, pet or person. It was almost
as if, after years of shading our
homes from the sun and block-
ing the winter winds, they per-
formed one more service, and
deliberately missed damaging
anything.
Big old trees have such a pow-
erful presence, rooted so deeply
in the earth and reaching so
high to the sky. I'm grateful to
have gotten to know and live for
decades with the beautiful ma-
ples we just lost. And I feel an
urge to replace them, so that a
hundred years from now whoev-
er's living in our neighbourhood
will have that same opportunity.
They say the best time to
plant a tree was five years ago. I
have a lot of catching up to do.

ering station had a strong op-
erational safety record.
The IAEA's operational
safety review team is made
up of international safety and
operational experts. The
team found the station has
shown a strong commitment
and made tremendous effort
to address the findings from a
2016 review.
"As a learning organiza-
tion, we welcome the oppor-
tunity to align with industry
best practices and continual-
ly challenge ourselves to
keep moving the bar higher,"
said Randy Lockwood, se-
nior vice-president of Picker-
ing Nuclear. "We are pleased
the team recognized the sig-
nificant improvements we
have made in our perfor-
mance. The results of this re-
port will help us continue our
record of safe operations and
ensure we deliver on our
commitment to secure Onta-
rio's clean power future."
To prepare for this year's
licence renewal, the station
completed a comprehensive-
periodic safety review. The
review concluded that the
station is safe today and will
be safe to operate to 2024. The
results of the review have
been accepted by the Canadi-
an Nuclear Safety Commis-
sion.
PICKERING NUCLEAR
STATION RECOGNIZED FOR

NEWS
PICKERING - Those
out and about in Picker-
ing this weekend are
asked to get their loose
change ready to help sup-
port the Ajax Pickering
Hospital.
The annual Pickering
Professional Firefighters
Association (PPFA) Boot
Drive will be taking place
to support the hospital.
Members of the PPFA,
along with firefighter stu-
dents and Ajax Pickering
Hospital Foundation vol-
unteers will be stationed
at various shopping plaza
exits for most of the day,
greeting motorists as
they come and go and of-
fering an opportunity to
make a small donation.
They'll be collecting
change on Saturday, Sept.
29 and Sunday, Sept. 30
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at
various locations includ-
ing Pickering Town Cen-
tre, Hub Plaza, Amberlea
Plaza, Lone Star, Sobeys
on Brock Road and Lo-
blaw's Supermarkets Ltd.
Proceeds will be used
to support the purchase
of an entirely upgraded
holter monitoring system
for the cardiac depart-
ment at the hospital. Hol-
ter monitors are a non-in-
vasive diagnostic tool
used most commonly to
detect cardiac arrhyth-
mias. Atrial fibrillation
is the most serious type of
arrhythmia, and if unde-
tected it can lead to heart
failure because the heart
is not able to circulate
enough blood to meet the
body's needs. If a heart ar-
rhythmia is found, the pa-
tient can be treated ap-
propriately so their heart
is stimulated to beat at a
steady rate.

Crawford & Sons: Fixing Basement Leaks Right the First Time
Water can damage anything it comes across, including
carpets, flooring, furniture, drywall, electronics and more. At
the first sign of water entering your basement, it’s time to call
the experts. Trying to repair it yourself can lead to delays and
more damage being done. You want to work with professionals
who will repair your basement leak right the first time.
The first step in repairing a basement leak is pinpointing
where the problem is. Every home is unique, and there isn’t
a one-size-fits all solution for every type of leak. You need
someone with experience who can determine the source of
the water and come up with the right solution.
Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in
Ajax has been in the business for over 35 years and has been
in over 15,000 homes in Durham Region.
“I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you
can imagine and I’m still learning,” he says.
Once the source of the leak has been determined, Gordon will
devise a solution that will be both successful and cost efficient.
“I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest,
most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes
that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the
house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s
absolutely necessary.”
Sometimes, the best solution is to stop the leak from
inside. This will also avoid having to dig up any landscaping.
“An interior weeping tile system with drainage board is
a very good solution,” says Gordon. “It’s extremely efficient
and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior
landscaping.”
It’s important to fix the leak as soon as you spot it, as the
longer you leave it, the more damage it will do.
“Water corrodes and people tend to live with the
problem until it escalates into a bigger one. You have to
get in quickly.”
Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service
and a free professional evaluation. For more information,
call Gordon at (905) 686-6880.

When training young
athletes, there is a huge dif-
ference between the goals
and changes that can be ex-
pected between prepubes-
cent and post-pubescent
children.
As for developing elite
athletes, specialization and
focused training with spe-
cific outcomes (with re-
spect to things like aerobic
power, anaerobic power,
maximal strength develop-
ment, etc.) is a complete
waste of time until after pu-
berty.
Until that time, regard-
less of whatever these ath-
letes have "accomplished"
prior to puberty, we really
don't know what kind of an
athlete we have on our
hands.
Having said that, not al-
lowing prepubescent ath-
letes to train is much more
dangerous than allowing
them to train.
We have no problem let-
ting our kids run and
jump at two or three years
of age, and play hockey,
football, wrestling, jiu-jit-
su, basketball, gymnas-
tics, acro, and figure skat-
ing, but so many are afraid
of strength work.
How do you expect your
10-year-old wrestler to pull
in and score a single leg
takedown if she/he can't do
tons of pull-ups, climb a
rope or even do a dumbbell
row?
The truth is, the ground
reaction forces exerted on
their bodies when they
sprint are two to three
times their body weight.
What about letting our kids
walk to school with their
10-, 20- or 25-pound back-
packs?
Here, in no specific or-
der, are some important
guidelines to follow when
you put your prepubescent
children into strength-
training programs.
• Focus on skill acquisi-
tion and perfecting tech-
nique
• Master body-weight
movements first
• No overhead pressing
or spinal loading (eg. bar-
bell squats)
• Use lower intensities
and higher rep ranges (12 to
20 reps is great)
• Favour isometric and
eccentric strength develop-
ment
• Kids can and should
learn to work, but you can
still make it fun, fun, fun
till our daddy takes his T-
Bird away
• Unless you are a
strength and conditioning
expert, hire somebody to
coach your children. Noth-
ing good comes from a
well-meaning parent try-
ing to be Tony Little (ex-
cept maybe a supersweet
haircut)
• Use tools like resis-
tance bands, dragging
sleds, prowlers, kettlebells,
light dumbbells, medicine
balls, etc.
There is so much more
to this topic, but hopefully
this will get you pointed in
the right direction.
Till next time, remem-
ber, "You can't fake strong!"

PICKERING - Chris
Warburton enjoyed win-
ning his first world cham-
pionship medal so much,
he went out and won two
more before leaving Mala-
ga, Spain.
Competing at the World
Masters Athletics Champi-
onships for the fourth time,
and first since 2015, the 53-
year-old Pickering resident
won a bronze medal in the
100-metre dash, a silver in
the 200 m and another
bronze in the 4x100m relay,
helping set a new Canadian
record in the process.
But it was the 100-m
event that started the ball
rolling.
"It was exhilarating just
to be able to bring home a
medal, but I think what that
did for me was change my
perspective going into my
200, because I moved from
wanting to just make the fi-
nals, to wanting a medal," he
recalled. "Now, you're hun-
gry. I've tasted victory, I
know what it feels like, I
want another medal."
A pilot for Porter Air-
lines, Warburton dabbled a
little in track and field as a
boy growing up in Jamaica,
but didn't start to take it se-
riously until coming to
Canada in 2010. He had
spent some time at three
other clubs before latching
on with the Durham Ga-
zelles, where he has
thrived under the coaching
of Randy Brookes.
Warburton competed at
his first world masters in
Brazil in 2013, followed in
successive years by Hunga-
ry and France, but the best
he had done prior to this
year was reaching the fi-
nals at the first meet.
After missing the 2016
championships while in
the process of purchasing a
home and last year's meet
with a back injury, War-
burton entered Spain in
good health and mentally
prepared, but certainly not
obsessed about medals.
"When I got there, I was
honestly not thinking of
medalling," said Warbur-
ton, who competed in the
50-and-over age group.
"Based on the times I saw
the other guys were run-
ning, I knew I was going to
make the finals, but hon-
estly medalling was not in
the back of my mind."
Warburton said he
started slowly out of the
blocks in the 100 m, his first
event, but finished strong
to win the bronze medal in
a time of 11.67 seconds,
sandwiched between two
Americans and 0.16 back of
winner Yoshihisa Minamo-
to of Japan.
"Crossing the line third,
it was very emotional to be
honest with you," he ex-
plained. "I knew how hard
I'd worked."
He ran the 200 m in 23.79,
one-tenth of a second off
his personal best and that
exact amount behind
American Lee Bridges. In
the relay, Warburton com-
bined with Christian Lem-
assif, Michael Sherar and
Serge Faucher to post a
time of 46.67, behind only
the U.S. and Italy.
"It's always fantastic
when you get an opportuni-
ty to compete against these
guys, but also to represent
your country," he explained.
"That's always a highlight."
Although busy at work,
Warburton says he is able to
continue pursuing track
and field through good time
management and a very
supportive girlfriend, who
attends all of his meets.
He's looking forward to
the next couple of years in
particular, with two big
meets being held in Toron-
to: the North and Central
America and Caribbean
Region of World Masters
Athletics Championships
in 2019 and World Masters
Athletics Championships
the following year.

OSHAWA - Greg Wal-
ters created his own coach-
ing style by taking a little
bit from the many great
people he played for over
the years, beginning with
the legendary Brian Kilrea
in junior hockey and in-
cluding the likes of Marc
Crawford, Joel Quenne-
ville and Bruce Boudreau.
But, it was John Torto-
rella, the controversial
current coach of the Co-
lumbus Blue Jackets, who
left the most lasting im-
pression on Walters, the
new bench boss of the Osh-
awa Generals.
When Walters makes
his home debut for the Gen-
erals on Sunday, Sept. 30,
against the North Bay Bat-
talion, fans can expect to
see a high level of intensity
behind the bench - albeit
not likely to the extent that
has landed Tortorella in
hot water several times
over his impressive career.
Walters, who played un-
der Tortorella for a season
with the Rochester Ameri-
cans, hopes he has taken
the best from him and the
many others he met over
the course of an 11-year mi-
nor pro career.
“He was my favourite
coach I ever played for — a
huge family man,” Walter
said of Tortorella. “He was
very hard on his players, but
he was a guy for me that I
just never wanted to go back
to the bench and have him
disappointed with me.”
Walters hopes to foster
the same sort of feeling
among his new players
with the Generals, who
opened the season with a
5-2 loss in Kingston Sept. 21
and have two more road
games before Sunday's 6:05
p.m. game at the Tribute
Communities Centre.
Born in Calgary and
raised in Toronto, Walters
played under Kilrea for
three seasons with the Ot-
tawa 67's, and was captain
for his final season, when
he put up 36 goals and 90
points in 63 games and im-
pressed the Toronto Maple
Leafs enough to get drafted
in the fourth round.
He soon realized he
wasn’t skilled enough to
reach the NHL, however, so
transitioned into an en-
forcer, a role that saw him
rack up more than 200 pen-
alty minutes a year for a
seven-year stretch before
being forced out of the
game due to concussions.
"I don't think it's fun at
any time, but especially
when Georges Laraque is
coming to town," said Wal-
ters, who admitted to feel-
ing anxiety before most
games and is thankful the
game has moved away from
fighting. "I loved the game,
and I came to work every
day to play, and more im-
portantly be a good team-
mate, a good character guy
and make sure the guys on
my team knew I had their
back at all times."
Walters moved immedi-
ately into the coaching
ranks after retiring as a
player, spending eight sea-
sons with the Sarnia Sting,
including part of one as
head coach, before moving
closer to home and becom-
ing head coach and general
manager of the George-
town Raiders of the Onta-
rio Junior Hockey League.
Walters guided the
Raiders to a remarkable
295-96-16-16 regular season
record and won two coach
of the year awards over the
past eight seasons, while
also raising two sons - 18-
year-old Dawson and 13-
year-old Dylin, who are
both pursuing baseball, his
other passion.
When the job in Oshawa
arose, Walters jumped at the
opportunity to return to the
Ontario Hockey League and
stay close to his boys.
"I love it," he said of his
early impressions in Osha-
wa. "I love working with
the kids every day. I'm a
players' coach. I'm very
hard on them, but every
one of my players know I
have their back and I would
do anything for them. I
think we'll see that trans-
late into how we play, for
sure."

OSHAWA GENERALS
OSHAWA - When Jim
Nemish took over the wom-
en's softball program at
Durham College in 1989, he
looked no further than a
couple of years down the
road and associated the No.
500 with little more than a
famous car race in India-
napolis.
The fact that he's not on-
ly still going strong as head
coach of the Lords, but now
has more than 500 wins un-
der his belt, goes well be-
yond his initial reaction to
the impressive milestone.
"It just means I've been
here too long," joked Nem-
ish, a 63-year-old lifelong
Oshawa resident.
"You didn't think about
those numbers because
you didn't think they were
attainable," he added, more
seriously and referring to a
lighter schedule back in
the day. "We've been fortu-
nate here to have some
good recruits and players
and we've been very suc-
cessful, so I guess the wins
keep accumulating."
Have they ever.
Since taking the reins
from Dick Snowden, who
started the program in 1981,
Nemish has led the wom-
en's softball team to 26 On-
tario Colleges Athletic As-
sociation (OCAA) medals
over the past 29 years, in-
cluding 16 gold.
The Lords reached the
podium 16 consecutive sea-
sons from 1997 to 2012 and
put together an incredible
56-game OCAA winning
streak from 2002 to 2006,
when they won three titles
and fell one win shy of four
in a row.
Winning a silver medal
at the Canadian Intercolle-
giate National Fastball
Championship in 2012 and
an OCAA gold in 2016, de-
spite finishing fourth dur-
ing the regular season, are
other highlights that come
quickly to Nemish's mind.
He pointed out the real
key to his success is simple
enough.
"I'm still enjoying it,"
said Nemish, who's looking
to lead the Lords to an un-
precedented fourth
straight OCAA gold medal
this year. "I look forward to
every fall. It's eight weeks
of go, go, go, go and you
gear up for it ... It's reward-
ing."
"There's always some-
thing new and there's al-
ways that drive that you
want to keep being the
best," he added. "As they
say, winning isn't every-
thing, it's the only thing."
A graduate himself of
the Durham College sports
management program,
Nemish is a Canada Post
employee and father of one
daughter, Jacquelyn, who
is now 23. He began coach-
ing a girls' rep team out of
Lake Vista Park in 1972 and
continued on for a couple of
years after taking over at
Durham College, but soon
gave that up when it be-
came too much of a time
constraint.
Upon accepting a posi-
tion with the Lords from
then athletic director, Dave
Stewart, Nemish certainly
didn't go in with any lofty
expectations.
"I said 'You know what,
it'll be fun. I'll do it for a
year or two and see what
happens,'" he recalled.
"Here we are 30 years lat-
er."

DURHAM - Heather
Tucker can now leave her
house without worrying so
much.
It wasn't something out-
side of it that caused her
anxiety, but something in-
side: Glenn Gould's first pia-
no.
"It was like having a Ca-
nadian heritage treasure in
my house," said the Ajax au-
thor, who worried a fire or
some other calamity might
destroy it.
But now, Tucker said "it's
found its home," namely at
the Glenn Gould Founda-
tion in Toronto. And its dis-
covery will be made known
today, Sept. 25, Gould's
birthday, when the City of
Toronto is to proclaim it the
first Glenn Gould Day.
Gould, who died in 1982,
was one of the greatest clas-
sical pianists of the last cen-
tury. Known as much for his
talent as for his eccentrici-
ties, conductor George Szell
once famously remarked,
"That nut's a genius."
Tucker explained that in
the 1930s her parents, Lou
and Pearl Morton, became
friends with the pianist's
parents, Bert and Florence
Gold (later Gould), in To-
ronto. Florence was Pearl's
choir director and Tucker
noted that it was an unlikely
friendship given their socio-
economic backgrounds.
Lou was often called up-
on to give Bert a hand with
something heavy, Tucker
said. On one occasion in the
late 1930s, Bert called Lou
and said, "Glenn won't go to
the cottage without his pia-
no." Tucker said they ma-
noeuvred "this beast" onto a
truck and for a while it went
back and forth from Toron-
to to Lake Simcoe. Eventu-
ally it was left at the cottage
for the summer and
brought home in the fall.
After the Second World
War, Florence, Gould's first
piano teacher, became the
teacher of Tucker's sister,
Susanne. Glenn was very
fond of Susanne, Tucker
noted, adding she was invit-
ed for sleep overs and to the
Gould's cottage. When
Gould got a new piano, his
first was sold to Susanne in
1955 and he inscribed it to
her.
The piano, made by the
Dominion Organ and Piano
Co. Limited of Bowman-
ville, came into Tucker's
possession two years ago
and she and her sister
sought to find out more
about it - and ensure that it
claimed its rightful place in
Canadian history.
"It's been fun for Su-
sanne and I to pull together
the family history," Tucker
said.
She said it was her
grandmother, Alice, who
knit the fingerless gloves
Gould preferred. And, as
Gould was always losing
them, she knit lots of gloves
for him.
As for Gould's trade-
mark, low piano stool, now
on permanent display at the
National Arts Centre in Ot-
tawa, it was made by Tuck-
er's father and Bert Gould
from an old bridge chair.
Tucker said the founda-
tion will be releasing the
history of the piano in in-
stalments.
DURHAM -- Ajax author Heather Tucker, at left, and at far right is the first piano of renowned
Canadian pianist Glenn Gould. Tucker's parents were friends of Gould's parents and Gould was
fond of Tucker's sister, Susanne, second from left. The piano was purchased from the Goulds and
Glenn inscribed it to Susanne. The piano now has a home with The Glenn Gould Foundation. At
far right is Brian Levine, the foundation's executive director, and beside him is piano technician
Ron Giesbrecht.

DURHAM - It's a girl-
friend play - and movie -
but guys are welcome.
Oshawa Little Theatre
begins its new season with
Robert Harling's Steel
Magnolias, a comedy-dra-
ma set in the U.S. south.
"Similar to the 1989 mov-
ie, the essence of the entire
play is the unwavering
friendships that have
grown within Truvy's Lou-
isiana beauty parlour,"
states producer Rhonda
Martin. "You will follow a
group of friends while they
share laughter, tears and
love as they face life's chal-
lenges, as you do with your
friends."
The play features Jenni-
fer Mance (Truvy) and
Jackie Del Greco (Clairee)
of Clarington, Casey Por-
ter (M'Lynn) and Kathryn
Fraser (Annelle) of Osha-
wa, Nicole Vezeau (Shelby)
of Whitby and Alison Irons
(Ouisser) of Ajax.
It runs Oct. 4 to 6, 11 to 14
and 18 to 20 at the theatre,
62 Russett Ave., Oshawa.
Tickets are $25, $15 for
students available at osha-
walittletheatre.com and at
the box office. The latter's
regular hours are Wednes-
days from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
and Thursdays, Fridays
and Saturdays from 11 a.m.
until 2 p.m. The box office
is also open about one hour
before each performance.
Next up at Oshawa Lit-
tle Theatre is The Addams
Family, running Nov. 22 to

In Loving Memory
Don Ross
Sept. 30th, 1930 - April 3rd, 2016
In our minds we still talk to you
In our hearts we still search for you
In our souls we know you are at peace
You will live in our hearts forever
We treasure our memories of you
We miss you, we love you
Lovingly remembered by
Valerie & Family
BECK, Greta - It is with heavy hearts that the
family regretfully announces the passing of
our precious Greta. On September 23, 2018,
surrounded by her family Greta passed
peacefully after a brief but courageous battle
with cancer. Adored by her husband Winston,
and immensely missed by her children Karen
(John), Terry, Tammy, Kim (Chris) and Kelli
(Stacy); Loving Grandma and Nan to Joshua,
Tristan, Brandon, Emma, Jacob, Dylan,
Nathan and Asher; Caring Sister to Walter
(Alene), Harvey (Betty), Judy (Bruce), Austin
(Rose), Leslie (Debbie), Ruby (Calvin),
Samuel and Merrill (Audrey) of Marystown,
Newfoundland; Remembered by many
nieces and nephews, brothers/sisters in-laws
and cousin; Pre-deceased by her parents
Stephen and Rebecca Clarke and brother
Melvin. Loved by her animals Izzy, Angel and
Sugar. Greta was a selfless caregiver and
she found her true calling later in life as a
Personal Support Worker (PSW). She
touched the lives of many of her colleagues
and patients and will not be forgotten for her
kindness and dedication. The family would
like to extend their gratitude and appreciation
to the outstanding doctors and nurses of
Rouge Valley CCU, St. Michael's CICU and
to Reverend Susan Spicer of St. George's
Anglican Church for her continued guidance
and comfort. A very special thank you is
reserved for Dr. Michael Chan, we could not
have made it through without your
compassion and expertise, the family is
eternally grateful. Friends and family are
invited to join the family on Friday September
28, 2018 at St. George's Anglican Church,
77 Randall Drive, Ajax for visitation at 12:00
noon, followed by a service at 1pm.
Donations to St. Georges Church will be
graciously accepted in memory of Greta. For
those wishing to send flowers please send
them directly to St. George's Anglican
Church. www.mceachniefuneral.ca
YORGA, Olga age 92, of 1000 Esplanade
North, Pickering, Ontario passed away
peacefully on September 17, 2018 at St.
Joseph' s Hospice London Ontario. Her
family, and the many friends she made in
Kelowna, and Pickering will miss Olga dearly.
Olga was a great cook, but also had a
passion for reading and competitive card
playing. She was avid bridge player, and one
who wouldn't hesitate to mark her page to
join into a game of bridge or bid euchre. She
was still playing, and winning, days before
her passing. Olga wished to be interned
beside her husband Bill in Kelowna. Olga had
four children Brian, John (Rosanne), Mariane
(Julian Wieder) and Maureen (Paul Morris).
She enjoyed her grandchildren Anton, Ben,
Jessica, Jonathan, Natasha, Thomas, and
great grandchildren Alexander and Aurora.
Olga was a kind, compassionate, strong,
independent woman that people were drawn
to. She will be forever in our minds and
hearts.
