"We're as ready as we're going to be," Martin told members of the Durham Police Services Board on Oct. 16. "Would I have liked more time? Yes, I would have," the chief added. In the days leading up to legalization, officers con- tinue to take online train- ing provided by the federal government, and are con- sulting with the province about the opening of store- fronts here next year, board members heard. Beginning Oct. 17, Ontario residents will be able to purchase pot online, with physical stores opening next April 1. Supt. David Brown said that, as of now, Durham is preparing to enforce im- paired driving laws with 130 officers trained in stan- dardized field sobriety test- ing; those police are backed up by six officers trained in drug impairment recogni- tion. The service has also been consulting with mu- nicipal bylaw enforcement bodies to determine re- sponsibility for issues in- cluding home cultivation of pot and calls about nui- sance use, Brown said. "There are many layers of responsibility," Brown said. "We wanted to get on the same page as our part- ners." "Things are moving for- ward very well," he said. One issue raised Tues- day was response to nui- sance calls. Martin ac- knowledged there may be calls from residents expect- ing police to respond to is- sues that do not constitute criminal activity, including after hours when bylaw of- ficers are not on duty. "We are the 24-7 agency of choice, or last resort," the chief said. "It will come to us. We will have to prio- ritize our calls." Board chair Randy Wil- son said the police service may have to "push back" against non-emergency marijuana calls, a sugges- tion that prompted vice- chair Bill McLean to urge caution. "I don't want the public to think we are going to lim- it our service to them," he said. "When they call, they want a response." Martin said that Oct. 17 will not change his ser- vice's response to unsanc- tioned marijuana store- fronts. "It's still illegal," he said of the so-called dispensa- ries. "Any storefront opera- tion operating between now and April 1 is illegal by definition." DURHAM POLICE 'READY AS WE'RE GOING TO BE' FOR POT LEGALIZATION: CHIEF Durham Regional Police Chief Paul Martin Metroland file photo JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@ durhamregion.com NEWS MARIJUANA PROHIBITION ENDS OCT. 17 DURHAM - Durham health officials are warn- ing residents to keep away from blue-green algae found in Pickering. The Durham Region Health Department was advised by the Ontario Ministry of the Environ- ment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) of the pres- ence of a blue-green algal bloom in a small area of the southwest portion of Frenchman's Bay, near Sunrise Avenue, in Picker- ing. Laboratory test results were received from the MECP on Oct. 11. A water quality advisory sign will be posted in the area to en- sure that the public is aware of the presence of blue-green algae in the wa- ter. "Blue-green algae are microscopic, plantlike or- ganisms that occur natu- rally in ponds, rivers, lakes and streams, and although often blue-green in colour, the algae can also be olive- green or red," said Laura Freeland, manager of health protection with the health department. "Resi- dents are advised to be cau- tious around blue-green al- gae, as some can produce toxins which may be harm- ful to humans who drink, fish or bathe in the water." People can protect themselves, their children and their pets from blue- green algal blooms by not swimming or playing in ar- eas where water is discol- oured or where foam, scum or mats of algae on the wa- ter's surface are present.

Trustees voted at the board's Oct. 15 meeting to approve the new position and appoint a com- mittee to interview candidates. A report says introducing an integrity commissioner will "support the board in its gover- nance and ethical responsibili- ties." The integrity commissioner will report directly to trustees, and work independently to pro- vide advice, education and com- plaint resolution related to trust- ee conduct. A DDSB report proposes sign- ing the successful firm for a five- year contact with an annual re- tainer of $25,000, based on 20 hours of work per month. Formal inquiries or investiga- tions would be paid at an addi- tional rate. Trustees also voted to amend the board's code of conduct to in- clude the role of an integrity com- missioner. A selection committee will be created to interview candidates and make a recommendation to trustees on an appointment.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM EDITORIAL LETTERS & COMMENTARY The City of Pickering and the Town of Ajax are now assuredly winners in the casino game following the province's sensible approach to the casino dilemma announced last Tuesday. The province and new Ajax MPP and Minister of the Environment Rod Phillips announced an agree- ment in principle to keep the Casino Ajax site opera- tional until 2026, with an option to stay open for anoth- er 12 years after that. The slot machines, however, will be capped at 500 machines, down from the current 800 machines. We applaud the province and the rookie MPP for overturning a decision of the previous Liberal govern- ment to close Casino Ajax. The Town of Ajax stood to lose gaming revenue, which has added up to $80 mil- lion since the casino opened in 2006. Overturning the closure no doubt saved the quarter-horse racing in- dustry in Durham Region, too. Casino operator Great Canadian Gaming Corpora- tion announced last spring it would back the bid of Durham Live in Pickering to build a casino, with Ajax slated to close when the expected Pickering casino opening occurs in late 2019. Phillips, who unseated former MPP Joe Dickson in the June provincial election, was a champion of saving the Ajax casino from the outset of his campaign. And, with the Progressive Conservatives forming a major- ity government at Queen's Park in the June election, Phillips made good on a campaign promise to reverse the decision to close the Ajax casino. First and foremost, Ajax and its citizens will con- tinue to reap between $4.5 and $5 million annually for serving as a host community to Casino Ajax, despite the casino being downsized from 800 slot machines to 500. Moreover, the Ajax facility will continue to help fund the quarter-horse racing industry, which employs about 1,700 people in Ontario. Picov Downs is the only quarter-horse racing facility in eastern Canada and it was on a path to closing with the expected loss of the Ajax casino. Meanwhile, in Pickering, city council has removed restrictions on the Durham Live lands in the Bayly and Church Street area to get the casino project mov- ing. Pickering has noted the casino project will con- tribute approximately $1.3 billion in incremental an- nual GDP, more than $625 million in annual total tax revenues, and create approximately 10,000 new jobs. Moreover, the city has indicated it's willing to share its casino revenues of $20 million per year with the region. The province has decided quite rightly there is room and demand in Durham Region for two distinct casinos to operate for the benefit of both communities and the region. PROVINCE'S DECISION TO KEEP CASINO AJAX OPEN IS THE SENSIBLE ONE RESIDENT DEBATES THE SAFETY, CLEANLINESS AND EXPENSE OF NUCLEAR POWER To the editor: The nuclear industry claims that using nuclear reactors is a clean, safe, and inexpensive way to produce electricity. When spent fuel rods are removed from a reactor they remain hot for years, they have to be stored in deep water tanks where water is constantly circu- lated to aid cooling. Cool- ing is not the only concern with these spent rods. When cooled they are still highly radioactive. Spent rods have a half-life of years, up to 250,000 years I have been told. It is impos- sible to find one constant figure that all experts agree on as to how long spent rods remain radio ac- tive. Decades ago I saw con- crete silos, in Manitoba, where some of these rods were being stored. Con- crete has a typical life of about 100 years, then what? This is the location where a professor from the London School of Economics men- tioned the 250,000 year fig- ure to me. Presently the only safe place to store these spent rods is at nuclear sites. So much for cleanliness? The people who were af- fected by the nuclear disas- ters at Three Mile Island in the U.S., Chernobyl in Rus- sia and Fukushima in Ja- pan could answer the ques- tion about safety. Almost 60 countries, the U.S. and Ontario don't ap- pear to be in step, now agree that using solar pan- els to produce electricity is the most cost effective way. Nuclear power is not clean, it is not safe and it is no longer inexpensive. If anyone is interested we could be buying power from Quebec at a very at- tractive price, at least until we dump nuclear and switch over to some form of clean energy. As with any major un- dertaking, success de- pends on careful planning and competent manage- ment. Ontario has not had either for a very long time. PETER DALEY RESIDENT WOULD PREFER CROSSWALKS NOT BE PAINTED To the editor: Re: Community quick to fund Clarington's LGBTQ rainbow crosswalk, news, Oct. 10 Rainbow crosswalks have recently been approved in Clarington by Clarington council. What this will do is set a precedent for any select or minor group to push their personal agendas through. Since council is working for all Clarington residents, and since this is public prop- erty, paid partly by taxpay- ers, it should not have been passed. Freedom of choice is something we all enjoy in Canada, and by all means feel free to paint your drive- way, or personal property - just not on public property. ELAINE JOHNSON SIGN UP FOR OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER AT DURHAMREGION.COM 11 | New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , O c t o b e r 1 8 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m women from Durham re- ceived surgery in Kingston or Toronto before being transferred back to Osha- wa for chemotherapy and radiation. Oshawa resident Jane Dimitriou-Currie was one of those women. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June 2015. "My gynecologist said to me we'll get everything done as fast as we can, we will work as quick as we can, don't panic yet, she said where would you like to go, Toronto or Kingston, and I said Kingston," she said, adding that the choice was fighting Toronto traf- fic and paying steep park- ing fees or the two-hour drive to Kingston. She remembers being terrified going into surgery but woke to find her doctor, Dr. Julie Ann Francis, could not do the surgery and instead she would need treatment. "When I wake up I'm like that was fast, and (the nurse) said to me ' they didn't operate hun,' " said Dimitriou-Currie, adding that she was terrified when she got the news, fearing that her cancer was too ad- vanced to treat. "I remem- ber meeting Dr. Francis and I said to her 'I don't want to die' and she said to me 'I'm not going to let you die.' She said you're going home to the Oshawa hospi- tal." Because the decision was made not to do the sur- gery, her stay was short- ened in Kingston. Her wife, who had picked up hotel ac- commodations, requested a refund from the hotel for the unused days and was denied. "My wife had to fight and the hospital got in on it and said this lady was sup- posed to have a hysterecto- my, she's going home," she said. After Dimitriou-Currie was transferred to the Osh- awa cancer centre she had 25 external doses of radia- tion, five half-doses of che- motherapy and five bra- chytherapy treatments, which is internal radiation. She said she's thankful for the care she received from Dr. Francis as well as the Durham cancer centre and is happy other women will not have to travel for surgery. "To see this here today, it's almost surreal because now women can recover closer to home, they can have their kids, they can have their friends, family and their support teams," said Dimitriou-Currie. "It's your community, it's your home, it's an amazing step for this hospital. Lakeridge hired two surgeons for the program, Dr. Francis and Dr. Elena Igwe. Dr. Francis is a gyneco- logical oncologist and a surgeon. She explains that prior to the expansion of surgical services, she and other surgeons would visit the Oshawa site to meet with patients. "We would see patients here and we would decide on their surgery or if they needed to have surgery, we would take them back to our home centre and then we would bring them back after," she said, adding that she has been meeting pa- tients in Oshawa since 2009. She explains that travel- ling for surgery took a toll. "People did try to under- stand why that happened and complained very lit- tle," said Dr. Francis. "Where I thought it was challenging was that they would often need to stay in Kingston for several days so their entire family couldn't come, they would have to choose a support person or they would ro- tate which support person would be there that day. If the case became complicat- ed, it was very difficult, the whole family would have to come down." As well, families racked up additional expenses in- cluding hotels, gas, park- ing, lost wages and other expenses. "It's an additional ex- pense at a time when it's hard." Last year, 121 women from the Durham cancer centre underwent surgery in Kingston and that doesn't include women who went to Toronto hospi- tals. Francis estimates the total is more than 200 wom- en. "Those are just the pa- tients that got referred to this centre, because this centre couldn't do surger- ies there's a lot of clinicians that would have bypassed (Lakeridge)." Now, Dr. Francis said basically all the surgeries that are done through gy- necological oncology cen- tres can be done in Oshawa. Surgeries began at the beginning of October and some of the patients who have received surgery were initially booked for Kings- ton and then rebooked clos- er to home. Surgeons will use the existing surgical suites at Lakeridge however new equipment has been pur- chased specific to this type of surgery. The number of surger- ies will gradually increase with about 200 planned for the first year but ultimate- ly the estimate is the centre will handle 360 surgeries per year, said Dr. Francis. She said very complex surgeries may still be done in Kingston. "We're expecting that to be a small fraction of the surgeries and only for a few months while the team gets comfortable with all of the cases we'll be doing here." In addition to a growing population in Durham who would benefit from the ser- vices, there has also been an increase in gynecologi- cal cancers. Dr. Francis said there are two main drivers: a subset of endometrial can- cer - a uterine cancer - is re- lated to estrogen exposure and is linked to increasing BMIs and obesity and ovar- ian cancer rates are in- creasing because it is more common in older women and as the population ages, there are more cases. Lakeridge Health exec- utive vice-president Tom McHugh explained it took more than five years to bring the specialized ser- vices to Lakeridge and Di- mitriou-Currie participat- ed in the call where the hos- pital made its final pitch for surgical funding. "We gathered our group around the phone and there are people across the province who make these decisions and we had half a dozen people in our room and there must have been a dozen people on the call and partway through Jane piped up and talked about her journey as a patient and two guys on the phone said 'oh my god they've got a patient on the phone,' " said McHugh. "It was real- ly one of the proudest mo- ments of my professional life, because of course we had a patient in the room to tell that compelling story and we did get our approv- al." "I walked into this room and here's all these suits, I'm meeting CEOs and this guy and that guy an I'm like why am I here ... so then Tom said to me I want you to tell them your story," said Dimitriou-Currie. "So I spoke up and I think I must have talked for a good 10 minutes on that phone and you could have heard a pin drop, they were all lis- tening and I was telling them women shouldn't have to go through that." She said she feels ho- noured and proud that her story played a part in bringing the services to Oshawa. Lakeridge Health pa- tient adviser Christina Handley was also on hand for the ceremony. Handley lives in Burnt River in the City of Kawar- tha Lakes, which is about 30 minutes north of Lind- say and an-hour-and-a-half north of Oshawa. She was diagnosed with stage two squamous cell carcinoma of the Bartholin gland, an extremely rare cancer, in July 2010. "The tumour was sort of right in the lower vaginal wall," she explains. "I ended up going to Kingston for both my sur- geries, the first one to re- move the tumour - and that's actually when they tested the tumour and I was diagnosed - and then a month later I was back again to have lymph nodes removed from both sides of my groin." Following the surgeries she received radiation and chemotherapy treatments at the Oshawa cancer cen- tre. "Because it was three hours away, my husband was able to take me down for my surgery day but then working full-time, he couldn't come," she said. Handley explains her first surgery was overnight but her second surgery re- quired her to be admitted for five days. "That was a long time away from home, away from everybody, whereas if I was here I could have had visitors and family." Handley said she was thrilled about the addition of surgical services at La- keridge. "This is so excited wom- en can stay closer to home, they don't have to travel so far, it's just amazing this opened up here," she said.

Bennett gifted Trent with $1.13 million from t he Jalynn H. Bennett Foundation. T he funds will be used for a variety of projects. In Durham, $150,000 will help build an out- door arbour with a trel- lis, patio seating and gar- dens. A t Trent's Peterbor- ough campus, the funds will support a new foren- sic crime scene house, a n ew outdoor perfor- mance space and a review of the university's Nature A reas Stewardship Plan. "Jalynn Bennett's es- tate will have a profound impact on Trent Univer- sity," says Sherry Booth, d irector of philanthropy, external relations and a dvancement at Trent. "Her thoughtful direc- tions asked Trent to be forward thinking, follow- i ng our vision. Aligning with her own leadership s tyle, she encouraged Trent to be bold, auda- c ious and effective." LEGACY GIFT WILL BUILD NEW OUTDOOR SPACE AT TRENT'S DURHAM CAMPUS OUTDOOR ARBOUR WILL INCLUDE SEATING, PATIO DURHAM - A trial has begun for a man accused of having his wife mur- dered in a contract killing four years ago in Picker- ing. Although David Knight was not physically pre- sent when his wife, Car- mela Knight, was mur- dered and left in a burning garage at her Pebblestone Crescent home in Septem- ber of 2014, it is alleged he conspired with the man who killed her prosecutor Paul Murray said in his opening address to jurors Tuesday, Oct. 16. "David Knight is a par- ty to the offence," Murray said as he summarized ev- idence he expects will be called during the trial. Murray said jurors will hear David and Carmela were embroiled in an acri- monious divorce that arose from an affair David was having with a woman in Florida; Carmela's kill- ing occurred just three days before a judge was to hear a motion filed by Car- mela in family court, he said. The Crown alleges Da- vid Knight had two prime motives for wanting his wife dead - his desire to gain custody of his two children and move them to Florida, and an $850,000 insurance policy on Car- mela's life. David Knight was near- ing a deadline to buy a construction company in F lorida for more than $900,000 when the killing occurred, Murray said. The Crown alleges Knight conspired with Graham MacDonald, who had been promised cash and a job in Florida, to car- ry out the murder. He said jurors will hear details of an undercover police op- eration carried out in the days after the killing. Carmela Knight, 39, died of neck compression and an autopsy also re- vealed blunt force injuries to her face, Murray said. She was dead by the time a f ire was set to gasoline spread around her body on the floor of the garage in which it was found. Carmela's body was found by firefighters bat- tling the fierce blaze, he said. The trial, before Supe- rior Court Justice Alex Sosna and a jury in Osha- wa, is expected to last three months.

In the 2018 capital bud- get, $400,000 was approved by council for the design drawings and tender docu- ments of the rec complex renovation project. During the June council meeting, a tender was awarded to Bar- ry Bryan Associates in the amount of $304,262. Sche- matic design work complet- ed during the summer re- sulted in the development of two distinct design options. The first design option is to utilize the existing footprint of the public dressing rooms, and the second is to address additional consid- erations and capture adja- cent or underutilized space that will improve the overall efficiency and functionality of the rec complex. In order to pursue the second design option, Barry Bryan Associates is request- ing an additional fee of $80,270 for detailed design and contract administra- tion. Additional fees in the amount of $10,000.00 will al- so be required for geotechni- cal investigations related to the expanded scope of work. As a result, the total revised net project cost has in- creased to $394,829. Staff says there are sufficient funds availfunds availfable in the capi- tal budget to accommodate the change.

The tractor and heavy equipment manufacturer is in the process of acquiring about 20 hectares of land in Pickering's Innovation Cor- ridor neighbourhood in Seaton. To facilitate and ac- celerate the company's relo- cation and the jobs it brings, council approved site spe- cific amendments to the Pickering Official Plan and the Seaton zoning bylaw to permit, as an exception, controlled outdoor storage if it's accessory and inciden- tal to the principal permit- ted use (the manufactur- ing/assembly plant), and to permit limited outdoor dis- play of finished equipment. Additionally, the official plan will be amended to de- lete the east-west "future collector road" between Sideline 24 and the future realigned Sideline 22. As part of the changes to the zoning bylaw, staff propose to replace the stormwater management zone with a prestige em- ployment general zone as the pond is not required on these lands. Kubota will submit a site plan application to address detailed design matters. The matter was passed at a special meeting of coun- cil on Oct. 1.

Relax You’ve Earned It! In some respects, we are like children left in a nation whose parents never in- tended to be parents. They wanted a better life, per- haps to capitalize on the lush, rich resources within our shores, so they came and are still coming. They came with the identity of their homeland fully intact - be it England, France and the multitude of nations since. They came to make a life, while the origi- nal inhabitants feel as though theirs was stolen. And yet here we "children" are "together," grappling because we've not necessar- ily developed or connected with each other through the stages, and yet life goes on. We are Canadians, namely because of a com- mon land mass rather than a set identity or value sys- tem, and for the latter, it seems to be a patchwork of values based on the shifting culture. Take for instance Que- bec Premier-designate Francois Legault's stance on banning civil servants from wearing religious symbols in the workplace. When asked if the crucifix would be removed from the National Assembly for the sake of neutrality, Mr. Le- gault said, "In our past we had Protestants and Catho- lics. They built the values we have in Quebec. It's part of our history. I think we have to recognize that and not mix that with religious signs." Now if crucifixes are ac- ceptable, it stands to reason the real religious symbols in question are the Mus- lim's niqab and the Sikh's turban and kirpan. But say- ing so outright would be deemed racist. There is a degree of the population within Quebec that just prefer what they know. "Vive le Quebec libre," al- though the free part is sus- pect. Meanwhile in Ontario, Premier Doug Ford an- nounced that Sikh motor- cyclists would be exempt from wearing helmets. "We have to respect their civil rights. That's what I believe in and religious ex- pressions. If they want to express themselves, I'm all for it 100 per cent." This is the response of our two biggest provinces. Whereas Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is happy to create "Canadian" values as he goes, and his values reach beyond Canada. He is a globalist. We've been trying to nav- igate these waters among ourselves for more than 150 years and despite what cer- tain politicians would have us believe, a values test for immigrants is more about keeping certain values out rather than identifying with or agreeing upon them from within. At this stage, asking anything more of Canadians is clearly unrea- sonable. Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is passionate about- truth in current affairs.

CANADIAN VALUES: MAKING THEM UP AS WE GO COLUMNIST RENAE JARRETT SAYS WE ARE CANADIANS BASED ON LAND MASS, NOT SHARED VALUES OR IDENTITY SYSTEM RENAE JARRETT Column It sure got my attention, that quick, precipitous plunge from summer to "seasonal" temperatures this week. Whose idea was it, living where water turns to ice for half the year, when you're 65 per cent water and mostly hairless? I felt a sud- den envy for the woolly bear caterpillar I came across as I headed to the shed for an armload of fire- wood. Wrapped end to end in thick fuzz, it looked warm and cosy and ready for anything as it chugged along, on a mission to find a snug place to spend the winter. What a great idea, covering yourself with fur, curling up and sleeping through the chilly times to come! I studied my bristly little friend with curiosity as I scooped it up and moved it to safety, where it wouldn't get stepped on by big feet. It promptly curled into a ball, its classic de- fence mechanism when ac- costed by predators, dis- playing its orange "look out! I don't taste good!" col- ouration, its black front and back bands tucked out of sight. Clever caterpillar, because except for cuckoos, most birds don't like eating hairy prey. Apparently the orange section in the middle of a woolly bear's back gets wid- er with each growth spurt and the black bands get thinner, though there's lots of individual variation. While many moths and but- terflies spend the winter months as pupae, woolly bears stay in their last lar- val stage. Like our amazing tree frogs, they're able to freeze and thaw out again with no ill effects; another admirable evolutionary trick. After pupating in spring, they emerge as Isa- bella tiger moths, their pale orange wings streaked with faint brown lines and a few small dots, their thoraxes orange and hairy. The woolly bear's favou- rite host plants are low to the ground, and include dandelions, grasses, mead- owsweet, nettles, lettuce and asters. This seems to have been an exceptionally good sum- mer for them, in pesticide- free areas at least, for I've spotted several woolly bears crossing the Water- front Trail. Dianne Paza- ratz reported seeing three one day at her Rossland Road butterfly garden in Oshawa. And my husband found one snuggled be- neath a piece of wood in our shed, already hunkered down for the winter. Nature queries: mcar- ney@interlinks.net or 905- 725-2116.

France, Italy, Spain and Germany ruled the "roost" and a few other countries were neophytes in a rather solidified market. Then slowly things changed. Australia, Austria, Cali- fornia, Greece, Portugal,fornia, Greece, Portugal,f South Africa and New Zea- land began making head- way and were later joined by a host of others, includ- ing Argentina, Bolivia, Canada and Chile. Ancient winemaking countries such as Cyprus, Israel and the Country/ State of Georgia have been (and are being) rediscov- ered for their wine and new countries such as Brazil, Britain, China, Peru, Thai- land and Uruguay are al- ready proficient in wine- making. The world of wine is becoming very compli- cated. While new clones of grape varieties are being discovered and also pro- duced, recent years have seen a resurgence of old, almost forgotten native va- rieties in many countries such as the oseleta, sagran- tino, schioppettino and ca- savecchia of Italy; the ma- ratheftiko and xynisteri of Cyprus and gellewza and girgentina from the Island of Malta. It seems that countries that once almost gave up their native spe- cies are now rediscovering them like never before. Historic wines that were made in Roman times are now being copied and produced. Aglianico and cesanese are reputed to have been ancient wine- making grapes. The aglianico is said to be the grape that made the Faler- nian wine of ancient Rome. The cesanese from Italy's Lazio region is said to have been the "local wine of Rome!" Wine seems to be an ev- er-changing and evolving creation. The varieties of grapes seem almost end- less. Wherever one travels throughout the world, wine seems to appear. Technology also plays a hand, and in conjunction with a warming climate, countries which never made wine are now pro- ducing some very special products. Wine can be an experi- ence that takes you to the ancient wine of Mesopota- mia where it all began, to the innovative wines from the "new kids on the block" in the form of recent coun- tries making superb wine. Wine festivals are be- coming increasingly popu- lar, thus allowing people to experience the wonders. They leave these showings with a greater feeling of the history, geography, sci- ence and most of all people behind the wines and countries they represent. This Nov. 3 come and visit the McLaughlin Art Gallery, which is hosting the first International Wine Festival. Bathe in the geography. Taste the histo- ry. Learn the science! Meet wine's people. Enjoy. Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers' Circle of Canada.

THE WORLD OF INTERNATIONAL WINE IS AT YOUR DOORSTEP OPINION WINE WRITER CHUCK BYERS SAYS THERE'S A WHOLE WORLD TO DISCOVER CHUCK BYERS Column DURHAM - Glen Hill Strathaven in Bowman- ville will receive 125 new long-term care beds and Port Perry Place in Scugog will receive 53 new long- term care beds. "I promised that I would fight for long-term care beds in our Durham com- munity. We are moving swiftly to deliver on that promise and meet our com- munity's urgent health care needs," Durham MPP Lindsey Park said in a press release. "This is an important first step to- wards ending hallway health care in Durham." The new long-term care beds are part of the Ontario government's efforts to im- prove long-term care and reduce wait times by add- ing more than 6,000 new long-term care beds across the province. Ontario has committed to adding 15,000 long-term care beds in five years and 30,000 in 10 years to help cut hospital wait times and end hallway medicine. "There's lots of evidence to show when you open up long-term care beds in the region it will take pressure off acute care beds. It will help reduce wait times in the hospital setting as well," said Park in a follow- up interview. "I was really pleased. Our area was real- ly paid attention to, as far as long-term care beds." The province an- nounced the new long- term care beds on Thurs- day, Oct. 4, along with an additional $90 million "surge" funding invest- ment in hospitals and com- munity sectors to create 655 new beds and spaces and also extend funding for 450 beds and spaces al- ready operating. That $90 million is allocated to sev- en different areas across Ontario, outside of Dur- ham riding. "Our government will continue to listen to the people who work on the front lines of our health care system as we develop a long-term, transforma- tional strategy to end hall- way health care," Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health and Long-Term Care said in the release.

Grand Opening is on October 20th for Downtown Whitby’s First Condo Project Less than 10 minutes from Whitby’s waterfront Artist’s concept Close to Whitby’s waterfront, with its beaches and trails and with a diversity of parks, recreation facilities, downtown shopping, schools and public transit all close by, the appropriately named Harbour Ten10 Condo in Whitby clearly deserves a ten out of ten when it comes to providing prospective homeowners with exceptional quality of living. In sharp contrast to homes priced beyond the reach of most buyers in the GTA, the suites at Harbour Ten10 are not only affordable – with prices starting in the mid- $300s, but they also offer tremendous value, with such upscale features as 9’ ceilings, laminate plank flooring throughout and textured granite countertops. Adding to this value proposition, is an impressive list of onsite amenities that include: a social lounge with fireplace, an onsite greenspace with playground, a BBQ terrace, and dedicated rooms for yoga, games and parties. In addition, the five-storey condominium project features an upscale hotel-like lobby with concierge as well as guest suites. Consistent with the Harbour Ten10 name and address (1010 Dundas Street East), the site is less than a 10 minute drive from what buyers ranging from young families to empty nesters would ever need, with attractions ranging from: Whitby’s historic downtown (just 1 km away) as well as the Oshawa Centre (with 230 stores), the Whitby Public Library, the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club, Lydee Shores Conservation area on Lake Ontario and local public and high schools as well as Trent University – Durham campus, the Ontario Institute of Technology and Durham College. Port Whitby Marina and Iroquois Beach Park with its long sandy beach and picnic areas are also minutes away. In addition to all that’s at your doorstep, Harbour Ten10 is a short drive from the 401, 407 and the 412 and just six minutes from the GO Train Station, which gets you to Union Station in just 20-25 minutes. “With any project we build, we put a great deal of thought into what today’s homeowners are looking for, so that when people hear about a community like Harbour Ten10, right away they know the homes are affordable, they offer good value and when you add up all of the onsite amenities and local attractions, it really is a great place to live,”observes Nizar Walji, vice-president of Castle Group Developments. Harbour Ten10 is Castle Group’s fifth GTA project, including Vida at Bayview Village which is currently under construction. Consistent with building great places to live, Castle Group has won three prestigious best-design awards from BILD, the GTA builder group. With the formal launch of Harbour Ten10 community at its Oct. 20 Grand Opening, purchasers can take advantage of VIP pricing, a bonus stainless steel appliance package as well as staggered deposits designed to reduce up front costs.

HWY 401 SITE OSHAWA - For the 30th year in a row, Durham fami- lies can get ready for winter by picking up clothing at the annual Food for Clothing Exchange. Started by Oshawa resi- dent Jim Fergusson, the idea for the event is that families who need clothing can pick up donated items in exchange for a donation of non-perishable food items which are then donated to local food banks. Any left- over clothing items are also donated. "Food's not compulsory," explains Fergusson, but people who want to give in exchange for the clothing have that option. This year's exchange will be held on Nov. 3 from 9 a.m. to noon, at Bobby Orr Pub- lic School, 7 Waterloo St. in Oshawa. Prior to the event, the community can drop off clothing donations at any public or Catholic elementa- ry school in Durham Re- gion, including Clarington. Volunteers from the schools are asked to drop off the donated items at Bobby Orr Public School by Nov. 2. Fergusson explains all clothing is welcome, includ- ing tops, pants, sweaters, winter coats, boots, hats, scarves, mittens and more. "Anything except socks and underwear, unless they're new," he said. "All sizes, adults and children." Every year, hundreds of Durham residents benefit from the exchange. "It varies year to year, sometimes we look after be- tween 500 and 600 people - we count how many they're collecting for - some years it might be only 450 or some- thing like; that we never know," said Fergusson. "Same with the donations of clothing ... we've had as many as 8,000 pieces of clothing; it varies year-to- year." This is the first time Bobby Orr Public School is hosting the event. "We were approached - they were looking for a spot - and we jumped at the chance to support the com- munity this way. I think it's a fantastic way we can all work together," said the school's principal, Christine Traynor. She said the school has set aside a room for collect- ing the items, and drop-offs are more than welcome. "I've worked all over Dur- ham, and there's always a need, so I think it's a great way people can feel like they're contributing by bringing in a food item, and that way they're giving back," said Traynor. Looking back over 30 years, Fergusson explains why the event continues. "I still enjoy it, especially on the day of, and all the thank-yous you get, and all the great volunteers, some of them with 27, 28 years ... seeing everyone work to- gether and the people appre- ciating it, it's heartwarm- ing," he said. Items that need dry cleaning, such as coats, can be dropped off at three Dur- ham dry cleaners who are supporting the event: Betty Brite Cleaners at 864 Brock St. N. in Whitby, Carriage Trade Cleaners at 932 Sim- coe St. N. in Oshawa, and Professional Dry Cleaners at 850 King St. W. in Oshawa. Fergusson asks that only items that need to be dry cleaned be dropped off at those locations. 30TH ANNUAL FOOD FOR CLOTHING EXCHANGE FOR DURHAM FAMILIES ON NOV. 3 REKA SZEKELY rszekely@ durhamregion.com NEWS Jim Fergusson started the annual Durham Region Schools Food for Clothing Exchange initiative 30 years ago after seeing a child walking in the cold without warm winter clothes. Donations of winter clothing can be dropped off at local schools. Donated items will be dry cleaned and then people in need can come to the exchange on Nov. 3 and get free clothing in exchange for food donations.

A HEALTHY APPETITE FOR NUTRITION APPS OPINION COLUMNIST ANDREA MILLER POINTS READERS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR DOWNLOADS ANDREA MILLER Column AJAX - It's eight years down the road, and still the mere thought of taking part in the World Cup sends shivers down the spine of Derek Cornelius. It's certainly not a far- fetched proposition for the 20-year-old Ajax soccer player, given that Canada will co-host the 2026 tour- nament and Cornelius ap- pears to be a star on the rise in the national program. One month removed from making his senior team debut for Canada in an 8-0 win over the U.S. Vir- gin Islands in Concacaf Na- tions League Qualifying, Cornelius is close to home for the second leg of the se- ries, an Oct. 16 game against Dominica at BMO Field in Toronto. But, while thrilled with the opportunity to play in front of family and friends, he isn't taking his inclusion on the team - or future with it - for granted. "I don't think you should ever get comfortable be- cause playing for your country is always an ho- nour," Cornelius said in a telephone interview. "I would love to be part of it, it would be amazing, but to say I was comfortable, no, because every time you go out there, all Canadian players want to be in the same position we're in right now." Cornelius, a left-footed, six-foot-one, 190-pound centre back, said watching the World Cup as a young boy was a big part of the reason why he started play- ing soccer. After starting at age four in an Ajax house league, he progressed through various levels and teams in Ontario, left to play in Germany at 16, and is currently in his second year playing professional- ly with FK Javor Ivanjica in Serbia. He admits the news of North America winning the bid for the 2026 World Cup caught him off guard - in a good way. "I never really thought it would be a possibility that we would get one here, let alone the possibility that we could be in it and partic- ipate as well," said Corne- lius, who will be 28 and likely in the prime of his ca- reer at the time of the tour- nament. "I'm getting goose- bumps just thinking about (the possibility of playing in it) ... I think it's every footballers dream to play in a World Cup, and then to do it on home soil, you don't have any words to describe that feeling." One of seven players aged 20 or younger on the current roster, Cornelius caught the attention of head coach John Herdman at the 2018 Toulon Tourna- ment in France, where he served as captain of Cana- da's under-21 team and helped shut down some powerful European compe- tition. "I was really impressed with not only his outlook on things, his ability to lead, his pace, but it was just an uncompromising performance in his ability to adapt to what we wanted tactically as well," Herd- man said of Cornelius. "I think he's got a good future ahead of him." Cornelius played all 90 minutes against the Virgin Islands, helping goalkeep- er Milan Borjan post his 15th career clean sheet. At the time, he said he was too busy with the task at hand to fully appreciate what it meant. "In the moment I was just so caught up and fo- cused on the game because I wanted to do well, espe- cially with my first appear- ance for Canada," he said. "Then, maybe a few weeks or days later, I looked back on it and realized it was a special moment in my ca- reer and definitely some- thing I won't forget for a long time." DEREK CORNELIUS DREAMS OF PLAYING IN WORLD CUP BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@ durhamregion.com SPORTS CENTRE BACK COMES TO TORONTO FOR CONCACAF NATIONS LEAGUE QUALIFYING Derek Cornelius (Above and right) of Ajax made his debut for Canada's national men's soccer team in an 8-0 win over the U.S. Virgin Islands in Concacaf Nations League Qualifying.

One of six overage (OA) players at training camp, vying essentially for three spots, Henderson success- fully put last year's disap- pointing season behind him and proved to new coach Greg Walters and the rest of the Generals brass that he belonged. He's rewarded that deci- sion so far by putting up four goals and nine points through eight games, and arguably being the team's best two-way player. "He definitely came in and stole a job from people that were maybe more counted on being here," Walters said after Sunday's game, a 6-5 overtime loss to the Hamilton Bulldogs. "He came in here and did every- thing right. He's definitely one of our top 200-foot play- ers. Everything that the coaching staff is asking, he's doing that, plus more. Can't be happier for him. Great kid." When camp started, it was presumed by many that centre Domenico Commisso and defenceman Matt Bras- sard had two of the OA spots locked up, leaving wingers Henderson and Brandon Harrogate, defenceman Sean Allen and goalie Cole Ceci fighting for the other - teams can dress only three OAs per game and must be down to three on the roster by early-January. The decision to keep Ceci as the primary backup to Kyle Keyser appeared to be bad news for Henderson, but the team instead decid- ed to trade Commisso to the Guelph Storm, despite the fact Commisso's 62 points least season were 40 more than Henderson's. "Obviously there were a lot of great players that we had and I just tried to come to work every day and work hard and hoped that things would work itself out and it did that," Henderson said Sunday. "I just tried to play my game and not do too much and it worked out for me." A native of Kingsville, Ont., about 45 minutes southeast of Windsor, Hen- derson was acquired from the London Knights in Jan- uary 2016, leaving a team that went on to win a Memo- rial Cup for one that had just won and was rebuilding. He finished the season strong with Oshawa, with eight goals and 18 points in 30 games, and then put up 22-30-52 numbers in 65 games the next season, be- fore dropping off dramati- cally last year and manag- ing just seven goals and 22 points. "I just think it was a lack of confidence maybe," he said in an attempt to explain the drop-off. "I didn't have the confidence I used to and a little bit of bad puck luck. It happens sometimes, but I'm just trying to put that be- hind me and focus on this year." So far, so good. In addi- tion to putting up more than a point per game early this season, he's currently sec- ond on the club at +4, and continues to draw high praise from the coach. "For me, it's just the way he plays," Walters said of what set him apart from the other OAs. "He blocks shots, he's a great penalty killer, he wins a lot of 50-50 puck bat- tles, and forechecks. He does a lot of great things for us, and once everybody else gets on the same page as he is, we'll have a successful season." ERIC HENDERSON STEALS OVERAGE SPOT WITH GENERALS BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@ durhamregion.com OSHAWA GENERALS FORWARD IMPRESSES NEW COACH GREG WALTERS WITH WORK ETHIC, ALL AROUND PLAY Oshawa Generals' Eric Henderson skated behind the net in recent OHL hockey action at the Tribute Communities Centre. Jason Liebregts / Metroland AJAX - The Durham West Jr. Lightning are helping ease the transition to Division 1 hockey both on and off the ice. On the ice, the Provin- cial Women's Hockey League team has a long and proud tradition of prepar- ing players for the next lev- el, often challenging for a top spot in the 20-team loop while helping countless players earn scholarships south of the border. This season appears to be no exception, with the team currently sitting with a 3-1-1-0 record and six play- ers already committed to NCAA Division 1 scholar- ships, along with two oth- ers to Canadian universi- ties. Off the ice, as of this sea- son, players on the team will experience a Division 1 feel in their new dedicated dressing room at the Ajax Community Centre, a pro- ject that saw players and families raise more than $25,000 to help complete. About three times the size of a regular room and com- plete with individual play- er stalls, a 65-inch TV and a stainless steel fridge, the room will be officially opened with a ribbon-cut- ting ceremony Sunday at 12:30 p.m., two hours before their game against Ne- pean. The Lightning will be- gin the weekend Friday in Kingston, where they hope to avenge their lone loss so far, a 3-1 game at home Oct. 13 that wasn't decided until an empty-net goal by the visitors. That blip aside, head coach Paul Brooks is pleased with what he's seen so far from his club. "I wanted to build a team that was not just a tal- ented, fast-skating team, but a team that could come together as kind of a family and want to play for each other," said Brooks. "Ev- erybody on the team con- tributes and everybody on the team has a great atti- tude. It makes it a lot easier to coach." Coming off a disap- pointing 15th place season a year ago, the Lightning replaced Jeremy Murphy with Brooks, whose daugh- ter, Brianna, was with the team last season and cur- rently leads the way with four goals and seven points this season. Brooks, who has coached girls' hockey with Whitby and Durham West for the past 15 years, re- cruited 12 new players for the team, including defen- ceman Maggie MacEach- ern and forward Daniella Calabrese, who played with the Whitby Wolves last season and for Cana- da's under-18 team over the summer. Kate Maclean - who shares the team lead with seven points - Brooks and Calabrese are the top scor- ing forwards so far, while MacEachern, captain Raeanne Breton, Julie Gough and Madelaine Wood - who also left the Wolves for the Lightning - are among the leaders on the blue-line. In goal, Victoria Kelaid- itis and Ashley Imlach have combined to allow on- ly six goals through five games. "From what I've seen, I think we're right there from a talent perspective with all the top teams in the league," coach Brooks said. "If this group keeps coming together and work- ing hard, I think we'll be there at the end. It's going to take a lot of hard work and some bumps in the road to get there, but I think by the end we'll be a team to contend." DURHAM WEST LIGHTNING PREPARING PLAYERS FOR THE NEXT LEVEL Whitby Jr. Wolves' Sydney Ward and Durham West Lightning's Jessica Kouleas battled for the puck in Provincial Women's Hockey League action at the McKinney Centre on Oct. 3.

Debbie Wong and Mat- thew Garby's parents did. They are two of the three winners in the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington's (VAC) 38th annual Juried Art Show. The opening re- ception was on Oct. 14 and the show runs to Nov. 11 at the VAC, 143 Simpson Ave., Bowmanville. Garby, a Toronto artist, took first place honours for his oil painting, Interior. He said as a child he talked a lot and his parents figured out that if he was busy making art, he would be quiet. Garby said his painting borrows from a couple of works, but his interest is in "our human relationship with the natural world, both in the negative and positive context," how we use, change or even disre- gard nature. The painting's back- ground, a wall, is split into halves: on the left is Ma- net's The Luncheon on the Grass, with the figures re- moved. On the right are three small paintings of plants. On a floral-pat- terned couch in the fore- ground is a woman (Gar- by's girlfriend in their apartment) looking at the viewer. Garby said the woman's pose echoes Olympia, another Manet painting. Garby graduated from Toronto's OCAD Universi- ty and said he generally works in oils. He paints fig- ures and landscapes and plans on mixing the two more in the future. Pickering artist Wong said she has been creating art since she was a kid. "My mother just left me in a corner with a pair of scissors," she said. Wong finished in second place with her Space. It's a mixed-media work in white and beige. Lines contrast with circles in the crisp, sculptural piece. "I meditate and I get vi- sions sometimes," she said of the work's origins. Another thing on her mind was a photograph she took of her husband: in it, a number of orbs surround him, while in other photos Wong took of him at the time they are not seen. She likes employing shapes in her work as they are "already built for you" and waiting to be used. Wong has lived in Pick- ering for almost a decade. Oshawa artist Marjatta Beasley picked up the third place prize for her abstract oil painting, Fiction No. 2. Dionne Powlenzuk, the VAC's executive director, at the opening said show ju- ror Sonya Jones, curator of collections at Oshawa's Robert McLaughlin Gal- lery, had her work cut out for her in narrowing down the 115-plus works entered. "The quality of the sub- missions was high," Jones stated, adding she "was pleasantly surprised by the amount of abstraction and sculpture, two subjects that at times are light with juried exhibitions." Powlenzuk invited peo- ple to see the show and fill out a ballot to vote for the People's Choice Award.
