DURHAM - Months be-
fore she was murdered a
Pickering woman discov-
ered her husband was hav-
ing an affair, jurors have
heard.
Carmela Knight soon
filed for divorce and was
separated from her hus-
band, David Knight, at the
time she was murdered in
her Pebblestone Crescent
home in September of 2014,
court has heard. David has
pleaded not guilty to first-
degree murder, conspiracy
to commit murder and ar-
son.
Carmela's mother, Fran-
ca Agosta, testified Monday
that she learned of the
breakdown of her daugh-
ter's marriage in June of
2014.
"She told me David was
having an affair and she
had found a USB with pic-
tures ... they were nude pic-
tures," Agosta said. "He said
he was going to end it. And
he never did."
"(Carmela) told me that
her life was going to be
changing. She wasn't sure
what she was going to do,"
Agosta testified in an Osha-
wa courtroom Oct. 29. "She
was trying to talk to him
and they were seeing a mar-
riage counsellor."
By the end of June 2014
Carmela had concluded the
marriage couldn't be mend-
ed and had decided to file
for divorce, Agosta said.
She said that when Carme-
la told David she intended
to separate he reacted an-
grily, smashing a wedding
photo.
Firefighters found Car-
mela Knight's body after re-
sponding to a fully-involved
fire in the garage of the Peb-
blestone house on the eve-
ning of Sept. 15, 2014, court
has heard. An autopsy
found Carmela, 39, had in-
juries including neck com-
pression and blunt force
trauma to her face.
The Crown alleges that
David conspired with an-
other man, Graham Mac-
Donald, to carry out the
killing.
Agosta testified Monday
that when it became appar-
ent a divorce was imminent
she confronted David about
the status of a Florida vaca-
tion home she co-owned
with him and Carmela. Al-
though all three contribut-
ed toward the 2011 pur-
chase, only David's name
was on the deed, as Carme-
la and Agosta's names had
been crossed off documents
prior to the title being regis-
tered, court heard.
Agosta said David prom-
ised to amend the deed so
all three were registered as
owners, but never did.
"On the 29th of July he
signed the house over to his
brother," she said.

DURHAM - With mari-
juana now legal, businesses
could be grappling with its
implications.
To help, the Ajax-Picker-
ing Board of Trade is hold-
ing a workshop on Thurs-
day, Nov. 8 entitled Canna-
bis and Your Workplace.
Marijuana legalization is
something all businesses
must deal with, according to
the board.
When putting new polic-
es and procedures in place,
a business has to be aware of
entitlements and obliga-
tions as an employer, as well
as the rights of your employ-
ees, the board added.
Among those who will be
speaking are Christine Ash-
ton, a partner in the law
firm of Wilson Vukelich
LLP as well as the 2018 Ajax-
Pickering Board of Trade
president, and Sheila Hall,
executive director, econom-
ic development officer, the
Clarington Board of Trade
and Office of Economic De-
velopment. Also, licensed
growers in Pickering will
speak.
It's being held at Casino
Ajax, 50 Alexander's Cross-
ing, with breakfast and reg-
istration from 7:30 to 8 a.m.
The event goes until 10 a.m.
The cost is $25 for board
members and $35 for non-
members.
For more information or
to register, call Andra Thur-
ton at 905-686-0883, ext. 222.

DURHAM - Enrolment
is up at the Durham Dis-
trict School Board this
year - and class sizes are at
an all-time low.
New data shows 99.7 per
cent of DDSB kindergar-
ten classes have 30 or few-
er students, with 8,865 kin-
dergarten students en-
rolled for 2018/2019.
The board-wide aver-
age kindergarten class
size is 24.3 students, down
from 25.6 in 2015/2016.
Mark Fisher, the
DDSB's associate director
of academic services, says
class size has a big impact
on how much one-on-one
contact there is between
children and their teacher.
"That's particularly im-
portant in the early years.
You're introducing stu-
dents to full-day kinder-
garten, some of these kids
when they start are as
young as three years old,"
he says. "So you want to
make sure that we're able
to individualize the atten-
tion that they need."
In recent years, the
Ministry of Education has
been phasing out larger
primary grade classes.
This year the ministry
requires 100 per cent of
kindergarten classes to
have 32 or fewer students,
and 90 per cent to have 29
or fewer.
Primary classes -
grades 1 to 3 - are required
to have 23 or fewer stu-
dents, and 90 per cent must
have 20 or fewer.
The average class size
for junior and intermedi-
ate grades must be 24.5 stu-
dents.
DDSB data shows the
board is meeting all those
targets, and so is the Dur-
ham Catholic District
School Board.
This year the DCDSB
has 113 kindergarten clas-
ses and 2,664 kindergarten
students with an average
class size of 23.6 students.
The Catholic board has
no kindergarten classes
with more than 30 stu-
dents and nine of the
DCDSB's kindergarten
classes have fewer than 16
students, which is the cut-
off to allow a teacher only,
as opposed to a teacher
and early childhood edu-
cator team.
A new report shows 90
per cent of the DCDSB's
primary classes have 20
students or less, and 100
per cent have 23 or less.
The DCDSB's average
classes sized for Grades 4
to 8 is 23.1 students.
Fisher says the DDSB
has been able to meet or
exceed the targets by clos-
ing and consolidating
schools where necessary,
and running schools at or
near capacity to make the
best use of funding.
"We're really efficient
in the way we organize our
classes, we're a fine-tuned
machine when it comes to
staffing and operations,"
he says.
DDSB board chair Mi-
chael Barrett echoes those
comments, saying "tough
decisions" were made to
get here.
"This is what we had
planned and hoped for
when positioning our-
selves in years past.
Through the hard work of
staff, a call for action by
trustees and a shared vi-
sion, thankfully this is
where we are today," he
says.
This year, the DDSB
saw elementary school en-
rolment jump by 685 stu-
dents compared with Sep-
tember 2017, and kinder-
garten enrolment in-
creased by 124 students
over original projections
from spring.
Most of the increase is
in Oshawa, which is up 549
elementary students over
last fall.
Fisher credits the
growth to supports like be-
fore-and-after school care,
kindergarten readiness
programs, after-school
recreation programs and a
big technology rollout that
will see all Grade 7 to 12
students issued their own
Chromebook by next year.
"We're really trying to
be more comprehensive in
the types of supports we
that can provide students
and the families," he notes.
School boards face
"cash flow penalties" if the
province's class size tar-
gets are not met.
An online class size
tracker allows parents to
look at data by individual
school, the most recent in-
formation is for the 2016/
2017 school year.

DURHAM - With clocks
falling back this weekend,
it's also a reminder that
battery recycling is com-
ing up.
Clocks change at 2 a.m.
on Sunday, Nov. 4, going
back one hour.
From Monday, Nov. 5 to
Friday, Nov. 9, dead bat-
teries will be collected in
Durham Region on regu-
lar garbage collection
days.
Batteries that can be
placed out include stan-
dard A, AA, AAA, C, D
(standard or heavy duty)
batteries, six-volt and
nine-volt batteries, button
cell batteries and re-
chargeable battery packs
(NiCad, NiMH, or lithium
ion).
Masking tape should be
placed over both ends of
lithium, button cell and
nine-volt batteries for
safety reasons.
Batteries that won't be
picked up include automo-
tive batteries, damaged,
leaking or wet cell batter-
ies and industrial batter-
ies. These should be taken
to one of the region's
waste management facili-
ties.
Batteries for recycling
should be put in a clear
zipper-style bag and la-
belled with a battery stick-
er. This is available with a
collection calendar. A la-
bel can also be printed at
www.durham.ca/battery.
The bag should be
placed on top of the papers
blue box on collection day.
Up to 92 per cent of each
battery are recyclable and
recoverable. Since battery
recycling began in Dur-
ham in 2012, about 187,000
kilograms have been re-
moved from the waste
stream.
Recycling also prevents
mercury, cadmium and
other heavy metals from
getting into the environ-
ment.
The region collects gar-
bage and recyclables in all
communities expect Whit-
by and Oshawa. Those
municipalities collect the
waste.
For more information,
visit durham.ca/battery,
email waste@durham.ca,

gion Waste app.

LETTERS & COMMENTARY
While most municipalities within Durham Region
presided over a seamless election night for the voting
public, it wasn't so in all of them.
For Pickering and Scugog voters in particular, elec-
tion night was an exercise in frustration that defeated
the purpose of using technology in elections to make the
voting experience user friendly and easy. The technolo-
gy promised to clear the way for results to be revealed
soon after the closing of the polls. It didn't happen in
these municipalities.
In Pickering, voters were locked out from voting on
election night, Oct. 22, as they sought to use the city's
internet/phone voting system. After a 90-minute delay -
the city pointed to a bandwidth problem by service pro-
vider Dominion Voting Systems - the voting system
became viable again. In the interim, the city extended
voting two hours to 10 p.m. Results started to flow after
the new deadline, but that 90 minutes of voting paralysis
was a particularly disappointing aspect of the city's first
foray into running a paperless election.
In Scugog, issues with the machine used to open the
mail-in-ballot envelopes (it stopped working on occasion
on election night) resulted in a delay in Scugog. After
the machine started to shred some ballots, humans in-
tervened to count the ballots. Election results were un-
known until 11:40 p.m.
In Whitby, results were supposed to be known after 8
p.m. on election night. None came in until about 8:45 and
after that it was a slow process, with all results from the
tabulators not known until approximately 9:45 p.m.
The municipal election also revealed once again that
voter apathy was clearly evident. Put simply, voter turn-
out was dismal. In most municipalities, more than 70
per cent of eligible voters sat on their hands, preferring
not to participate in local democracy.
Uxbridge topped the voter turnout with 50 per cent of
its eligible voters casting a ballot. At the other end of the
spectrum was Oshawa, with only 24 per cent of eligible
voters participating. Whitby and Clarington had 26 per
cent voter turnout, Ajax managed 32 per cent and Scu-
gog had 45 per cent.
To the municipalities that experienced election-night
technical glitches - it's simply unacceptable. They've got
to do better and get it right next time. A problem-free
election process is the expectation; Pickering and Scu-
gog fell well short of that benchmark.
To those who took the time to vote - well done. To
those who put their names forward for the various offic-
es - kudos to you as well. To the election winners - we
look forward to seeing your vision unfold for your com-
munities in the next four years.

A QUESTIONABLE POLLING
STATION
TO THE EDITOR:
My wife and I are seniors
and live within five minutes
of our polling station at the
Harmony Creek Golf Club,
which we attended to vote
on Monday Oct. 22.
To our surprise the only
access was two flights of
outside stairs in the wind
and rain. They did have a
small elevator lift which
wasn't working properly at
the time that only held two
people and a wheelchair as
posted; the attendant could
not get it working either.
People with canes and
walkers were frustrated and
leaving without voting at all.
Since my wife had a recent
knee replacement she could
not walk up those stairs, so
we were about to leave. Af-
ter going up the stairs my-
self, I found the elevator
door jammed open prevent-
ing it from working, so we fi-
nally got to vote.
Although the Harmony
Golf Club is an excellent fa-
cility for golf lovers with a
great restaurant, bar and
party room, we and many
others thought it was the
wrong venue for a polling
station requiring handi-
capped access. Whoever
choose these sites should
do a little research on the
facilities for the handi-
capped or older people be-
fore deciding for the next
election.
DOUG LAVERTY
OSHAWA
REGION NEEDS TO PRO-
VIDE TAXPAYERS MUCH
NEEDED TAX RELIEF
TO THE EDITOR:
Property taxes are a con-
sistent matter of discussion
and concern to most Dur-
ham Region residents.
Comparisons with tax
levels in other communities
are not flattering. It would
seem obvious that local poli-
ticians would make every
effort to minimize annual
increases and stabilize tax
rates imposed by their local
municipality and by the re-
gional municipality of Dur-
ham. However, this does not
seem to be happening at the
regional level.
It should interest all resi-
dents/taxpayers to know
that in addition to cash-on-
hand and substantial desig-
nated reserves (and a rarely
used tax rate stabilization
fund), the regional munici-
pality of Durham has a sep-
arate investment portfolio
(consisting of a variety of in-
vestments) which has risen
in market value from $450
million in 2000 to $2.3 billion
in 2017. The region would
claim that most or all of this
money is earmarked for in-
frastructure replacement or
creation. Regardless, this is
a huge portfolio, some of
which could be used to miti-
gate, minimize or even pre-
clude a property tax in-
crease for one or more
years.
The enormity of this
rapidly increasing portfo-
lio (it increased by $254 mil-
lion from 2016 to 2017) pre-
sents an obvious opportu-
nity, if not obligation, for
regional council to provide
some much needed proper-
ty tax relief. This opportu-
nity can provide relief for
overburdened taxpayers,
who contributed most of
this money in the form of
their property taxes.
I hope this tax relief is
incorporated into the re-
gion's upcoming budget de-
liberations.

Once upon a time, long
ago, when I was young and
free, I spent an unforgetta-
ble summer living alone in
a log cabin deep in the
woods north of Huntsville.
Two oil lamps, a wood-
burning stove and an out-
house. Bathing facilities a
plunge into the dark wa-
ters of the small river run-
ning by below the cabin, on
its way from Algonquin
wilderness to cottage
country. The place had ev-
erything I needed.
My favourite spot was
the swimming rock over a
deep pool. My favourite
pastime was sitting there
and gazing upstream, won-
dering what might come
around the bend, moose,
merganser, beaver. Or of-
ten not thinking at all. Be-
ing there was timeless.
Idyllic. A break from all
planning and responsibili-
ties, just dreaming on a
rock by a river.
Many a time in years
since I've remembered
with wonder that summer,
that rock, that drifting,
curling current. So it
meant a great deal to me to
go back there last week
and spend a few days at the
cabin. Check out how near
"civilization" had crept
over the decades, with
neighbours coming closer,
but still not disturbing the
peace of that special place.
The cabin has three pro-
pane lights and a hot plate
now, a new steel roof and a
skylight for watching the
moon. But everything else
is almost exactly as it was
back when it was built, go-
ing on a century ago.
My rock is there, too.
Smooth dark granite with
a few pink feldspar stripes,
sloping down into the mo-
lasses-coloured, tannin-
rich waters that eddy
around it. Come summer's
end, golden birch leaves
still float by to the rapids
just beyond, a constant
splashing murmur.
Needless to say, I went
down to the rock every
chance I got, at dusk, at
dawn, at noon. As soon as I
arrived and one final time
just before I had to leave. I
thought about a lot of
things as I sat on that rock
last week, gazing at the
dimpled current flowing
on endlessly. About ice ag-
es and tectonic plates.
About trees, and birds, and
human lifespans. About
full moons reflected in qui-
et pools in a river, whenev-
er you manage to find
them.

DURHAM - A program
that encourages owners
and their dogs to share
some "pawsitive" therapy
with people is expanding
into Durham.
Elizz Paws started in
Barrie earlier this year and
is now seeking volunteers
to visit clients in the area.
The program is offered
by the Saint Elizabeth
Health Care Foundation,
which Catherine Ecker,
Elizz Paws' program co-or-
dinator, joined in 2017.
"The hope was that I
would develop a dog thera-
py program for dogs and
their owners to visit clients
in their homes or long-
term care facilities or in a
hospice setting," she said.
The program is funded
thanks to a benefactor
named Janet Holder, who
left funds specifically for a
dog therapy program.
"It's honouring her
memory. She was a long-
time board member," Eck-
er said.
Ecker is looking for vol-
unteers to take part in the
program.
"The volunteers need to
be 18 years of age or older
and their dog needs to be 18
months or older," she said.
The program will run
throughout Durham Re-
gion.
"There's no reason why
(volunteers) can't be any-
where in Durham Region,"
Ecker said. "They will visit
clients in the clients' home,
is the focus we're going to
start with."
Their dogs can be of any
legal breed.
Ecker has had plenty of
experience providing paw-
sitive therapy to patients
with her dog in the past.
"For the 10 years that I
volunteered with my dog,
Lucy, I was able to see first-
hand the difference that a
dog could make in the life
of an individual, whether
they were ill or isolated,
whether they were having
a bad day," she said.
She said there's no easy
way to describe the joy a
volunteer will see on a cli-
ent's face when they're able
to pet a dog, especially
when that person has
owned a dog in their earlier
years.
"That dog is a real vehi-
cle for that person to re-
member different times in
their life and to feel the un-
conditional love of a dog
again," Ecker said.
She added petting a dog
can lower a person's blood
pressure, bring calm and
emotional change, and can
even help people become
more articulate.
"People who volunteer
with their dogs already
have an understanding of
the place the dog has in
their own lives, they've al-
ready experienced the
health benefits of having a
dog in their home," she
said.
Ecker said being able to
share that with others is a
profound experience.
She said anyone inter-
ested in volunteering with
their dog can get in touch
with her and she will meet
with them. Their dog will
participate in an evalua-
tion which will determine
whether the dog has the
right temperament for the
program.
Saint Elizabeth Health
Care, a home care compa-
ny, has an office in Whitby
and Ecker can meet with
potential volunteers there.
Clients can be utilizing
Saint Elizabeth services
but it is not a requirement.
There are no restrictions
on the client and no cost to
them.
Anyone interested in
volunteering or utilizing
the program can contact
email Ecker at cather-
ineecker@sehc.com or call
her at 647-522-7263.

The horror and the rage
unleashed by this gunman
on the worshippers of the
Tree of Life synagogue in
Pittsburgh savagely extin-
guishing 11 innocent lives,
makes it the deadliest an-
ti-Semitic attack in the
history of U.S. The youn-
gest victim was reported
to be of 57 years and the
oldest a 97-year-old Holo-
caust survivor. Robert
Bowers, a 46-year-old
white supremacist and
known anti-Semite, was in
court on Monday.
At home in Canada, it
invoked harrowing memo-
ries when on Jan. 29, 2017 a
gunman mowed down six
worshippers at a Quebec
City mosque. Never before
in Canada's history had
such an act of brutality ev-
er taken place, let alone at
a place of worship. The
victims were parents, civil
servants, academics: men
who had left their coun-
tries of origin seeking bet-
ter lives in Quebec. Alex-
andre Bissonnette, a 27-
year-old Islamophobe,
pleaded guilty and was
sentenced.
Accused killer Bowers
told the police that he
"wanted all Jews to die."
According to the New York
Times, "hostility against
Jews in the United States
was growing increasingly
hostile, and intensifying
in the two years since Don-
ald J. Trump was elected
president." The hate in the
United States came into
full view last year as white
supremacists marched in
Charlottesville, Va., with
lines of men carrying
torches and chanting,
"Jews will not replace us."
The barrage of tweets
with inflammatory rheto-
ric fired in the middle of
the night from the highest
office and the language
used at every political ral-
ly contributes to a flam-
mable environment
charging the bigots to lose
their bearings.
T he American public
should move beyond
thoughts and prayers by
standing up to the gun
l obby and confronting
bigotry starting from the
top.
T he cause and effect in
both situations are
frighteningly similar -
anti-Semitism and Isla-
mophobia are two sides of
the same coin. Those ex-
tremists who despise mi-
norities tend to be equal
opportunity haters, and
to sweep up Jews with
Muslims.
For their Jewish cous-
i ns, a fundraising cam-
paign by Muslims Unite
for Pittsburgh Syna-
gogue is in progress and
has so far raised more
than $130,000 to help the
shooting victims and
their families.

DURHAM - In Anishnaa-
bemowin, the Durham Col-
lege First Peoples Indige-
nous Centre is called "Sus-
waaning Endaajig."
It means "nest away from
home."
That is exactly what staff
hope the centre feels like for
Indigenous students;
whether they're away from
home for the day attending
class, or for weeks or
months at a time.
The centre has been part
of Durham College since
2011, but this fall it moved in-
to a specially designed space
at the school's new Centre
for Collaborative Educa-
tion.
The move has created
much more visibility - liter-
ally.
On a recent Tuesday
morning, Julie Pigeon and
Peggy Forbes, both Indige-
nous coaches with the First
People Indigenous Centre,
performed a traditional
smudging with white buffa-
lo sage, as people walking by
in the hall slowed to look
through the windows.
With fragrant smoke fill-
ing the air around her,
Forbes cleansed her hands
in the smoke, then drew it
over her eyes, ears head and
body.
Smudging is a tradition
common to many First Na-
tions people, which involves
burning one or more sacred
medicines, typically tobac-
co, sage, cedar and sweet-
grass.
It is done to clear the air,
mind, spirit and emotions.
Staff and students who
drop by the First Peoples In-
digenous Centre have ac-
cess to the four sacred medi-
cines any time they need
them, and the entire space is
safe for smudging - at the
centre's previous location,
only one room could be used
for smudging.
"For a lot of students, this
is their beginning. This is
their first time learning
about their culture," says Pi-
geon. "They're here for aca-
demics, but we really try to
think about the whole stu-
dent...the physical, the spiri-
tual, it all has to be bal-
anced."
Student Catherine Con-
naty, 28, has been visiting
the centre regularly since
2013. At that time, she was
homeless and her grades
were suffering.
She says staff at the First
People Indigenous Centre
helped her get a job through
the Durham College work
study program, and salvage
her grades.
"Before that, I was dis-
couraged and ready to quit
school altogether," Connaty
says. "Indigenous peoples
have a completely different
way of learning than what
western post-secondary of-
fers. It can be harder for us
to keep up our grades."
Connaty, who comes to
the centre to use computers,
smudge or visit with an el-
der, says these kinds of sup-
ports help Indigenous aca-
demically and with overall
well-being.
"They provide a piece of
familiarity, of home, for the
students, and that is one of
the hardest parts of going
away for post-secondary
school."
The new space for the
First Peoples Indigenous
Centre offers computers
and space for students to
study, as well as a full kitch-
en and cosy rooms for meet-
ings with elders or smudg-
ing.
Shelves are stocked with
board games and a selection
of Indigenous books and
DVDs.
There are materials to
make Indigenous crafts
such as dream catchers,
medicine wheels, beading
and traditional hand drums.
Walls are accented with
Indigenous art and a deco-
rative ceiling depicts a tradi-
tional medicine wheel.
Right now, about 20 peo-
ple per day use the centre,
which is open to Indigenous
and non-Indigenous stu-
dents and staff alike.
"It's important to know
that Indigenous students
may have different needs
and may face different bar-
riers," Forbes says.
For example, she has
seen firsthand how Indige-
nous students coming from
remote communities strug-
gle to adapt to the food avail-
able on campus.
Other students may deal
with language barriers, cul-
ture shock or homesick-
ness.
Students often refer to
Forbes and Pigeon as the
"Oshawa moms," because of
the support and guidance
they offer.
There is also support
from available from visiting
elder Shirley Williams, who
offers a wealth of knowledge
about Anishnaabe culture,
language and ceremonies.
Several times a month
she makes herself available
at the centre for students to
drop in for a chat, or book an
appointment.
"It's like having your
grandmother available to
you,' Pigeon says.
Other regular events in-
clude sharing circles -where
students can talk about
their struggles and success-
es in a safe space - and tradi-
tional ceremonies marking
the full moon, summer sol-
stice, winter equinox and
feasting of the dead.
The First Peoples Indige-
nous Centre also plans to
open some events and ser-
vices to the broader Indige-
nous community -- about
12,500 people in Durham Re-
gion self-identify as Indige-
nous.
"Durham has been lack-
ing Indigenous services for-
ever," Pigeon says. "That's
why we want to include the
community when we can,
there just isn't enough here
for them."
For example, there are
plans to launch a family lan-
guage program in January,
which will allow local Indig-
enous families to socialize
and eat a meal together,
while learning to speak An-
ishnaabemowin.
Now that the new space
is up and running, next
steps for the Indigenous
community on campus in-
clude advocating for a dedi-
cated Indigenous seat on the
Durham College board of
governors, encouraging the
college to hire more Indige-
nous staff, embedding In-
digenous content into more
course curricula, and de-
veloping modules that peo-
ple can use to learn indepen-
dently about Indigenous
culture and concepts.
Connaty says she would
also like to see sweat lodge
ceremonies made available
to students, as well as more
time with elders.

1918-2018 ANNIVERSARY
REMEMBRANCE DAY NOVEMBER 11TH
100TH of Armistice Week
This year marks the 100th
anniversary of the signing of the
armistice that brought the First World
War and its four years of armed conflict to
an end. On November 11, 1918, representatives
of France, Great Britain and Germany met in a
railway carriage in France to sign the historic document,
paving the way for the peace negotiations that would culminate in the Treaty of
Versailles, a document drafted five months later.
The anniversary of the Armistice was observed the next year in Great Britain and this tradition
quickly spread to the other Allied Nations. The holiday was originally known as Armistice Day,
but member states of the Commonwealth of Nations like Canada eventually adopted the name
Remembrance Day.
We commemorate on this date not only citizens who fought in the First World War
but also those who fought in the Second World War and every other war and
peace keeping mission since.
Although the Allies won the conflict, Armistice Day wasn’t a day of
unabashed celebration. Given the unspeakable horrors and death tolls in
World War I, and likewise in World War II, November 11 became a day of solemn
commemoration. Hence the two minutes of silence we observe on this date, a
tradition that goes back to the very first Armistice Day commemoration, in 1919.

Wearing a poppy is a good way to not only pay tribute to Canada’s veterans but also to give back to them. The poppies sold every year in the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day are provided by the Royal
Canadian Legion, who use the money collected to provide assistance to veterans. Here are some of the excellent uses to which this organization puts donations collected for Remembrance Day.
VETERAN TRANSITION PROGRAMS
For many veterans, returning to civilian life proves to be a challenge. They confront estranged connections with friends and family, feelings of isolation, dif culties adapting to new workplaces and mental
illnesses like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Royal Canadian Legion helps fund the Veterans Transition Network, a program that assists veterans through the tumultuous period after leaving active duty, providing them with helpful tools and resources
as well as a welcoming community.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND HOUSING FOR VETERANS
Some veterans have an especially dif cult time adjusting to civilian life and end up homeless or at risk of homelessness. In addition to providing nancial support to such individuals, the Legion supports
numerous outreach programs, food banks, drop-in cen tres and meals-on-wheels programs.
MEDICAL SUPPORT
The Legion provides funds for medical equipment, medical training and medical treatment focused on
caring for injured and in rm veterans. It also helps pay for accessibility modi cations that assist veter-
ans with disabilities.
EDUCATIONAL BURSARIES
The Legion grants bursaries to children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of veterans who require
nan cial assistance to be able to pursue a post-secondary education.

Remembrance Day
It happened on November 11, 1918, at 5 o’clock in the morning, in Compiègne, France. The Armistice was signed, officially ending
the First World War. Unfortunately, it did not end the conflicts, and numerous wars have since been fought. Nevertheless, for many
people, November 11 remains the day to reflect on all the soldiers who died in war, all the wars. They died to preserve peace and
freedom, our peace and our freedom. Today, soldiers are still going to war. Today, soldiers continue to leave their families to go
to the front. Peace and liberty have no price, but their cost is often very high, too high.
Here are a few things you can do to show your appreciation and gratitude:
• Attend a memorial service in your area and invite your family and friends to go with you.
• Buy and proudly wear a poppy pin. The proceeds go directly to
support veterans’ services.
• Write to one or more Canadian Armed Forces veterans to
express your gratitude and congratulate them on their courage.
• Browse some of the audiovisual documents published on the
Veterans Affairs Ca nada website. They’ll help you learn more
about Canadian history and the in valuable contributions of our
armed forces.
• Show your support for veterans by pos ting messages and
videos on social media with the hashtag #RememberThem.

PICKERING - Justine
Babin is a Grade 8 stu-
dent at Highbush Public
School and was chosen to
participate in the Legis-
lative Page Program at
Queen's Park. She an-
swered five questions
about her experience.
Why did you want to
participate in the pro-
gram?
The page program al-
lowed me to be a part of a
centuries-old tradition of
public service by Onta-
rio's youth and meet new
people all over Ontario
while learning about how
our government works.
I wanted to have the
chance to see what it
would be like to work in
the legislature in action
in a non-partisan way. I
knew from watching the
news that it would be an
interesting place to work,
meet members of provin-
cial parliament and staff
while creating new
friendships.
I also wanted to under-
stand how politics affect
my life and those around
me.
Why were you select-
ed?
At Highbush Public
School, I was/am in-
volved in several leader-
ship roles, for example I
was the student leader
for the Girls (Empower-
ment) Group which helps
younger girls with issues
they face, as well as the
First Nations, Metis and
Inuit Grade 3 and 4 stud-
ies club which educates
younger students on the
important contributions
of Canadian Indigenous
People to our country.
I've also helped fund
raise in my school and
volunteered in my com-
munity through the
YMCA volunteer pro-
gram. In all of these
roles, it's really impor-
tant to show that you are
a kind, dependable and
an enthusiastic team
player.
What did you learn
from the experience?
This experience has
taught me a lot about the
legislature: the history,
the business such how
laws are made in Ontario.
I also learned about the
important roles of MPPs
and that they represent
the voice of people in
their riding. Because of
this, I have more of an ap-
preciation that the envi-
ronment has given to me
in terms of inspiring and
helping others.
Can you describe
what it was like work-
ing at the Ontario legis-
lative assembly?
Working as a page
meant that I worked as a
messenger of the house,
performing many helpful
duties such as delivering
official documents, deliv-
ering important messag-
es and delivering glasses
of water.
I worked in the legisla-
tive chamber and deliver
throughout the legisla-
tive precinct. I had to also
learn and memorize 124
MPPs' names, seats, rid-
ings and also parties, so
this really helped me to
identify who I am deliver-
ing to.
I also learned about
the legislature through
classes for some of the
time during my work day
and through activities to
understand the parlia-
mentary system of gov-
ernment.
It was a fun experience
because we also learned
about the legislature
through games such as
the famous show Jeopar-
dy and through interest-
ing debates.
Would you recom-
mend this experience to
others, and why?
I would highly recom-
mend this experience to
others because it provid-
ed a very unique way to
learn, not just about On-
tario's parliament, but al-
so I learned more about
myself. This experience
allowed me to become
more independent, be
willing to take risks and
gain confidence.
Secondly, all of the
staff and the MPPs are
very kind and genuine
people. They were very
friendly and really took
the time out of their busy
day to show their appre-
ciation to myself and oth-
er pages for all of our
hard work and some-
times long days.
I have also made life-
long friendships with
other pages, and I miss
them very much, but
that's OK because we
plan to stay in touch.
The experience was
one I will never forget.
It was an honour to re-
present my Pickering-
Uxbridge riding and to
make my school proud.

If you are interested in
making significant im-
provement in your sport,
you may be surprised to
learn that making sub-
stantial changes in your
mental game can make a
huge difference in how you
perform.
Yes, there will always be
those skeptical athletes,
coaches, parents, fans and
media who don't believe
that changing how you
think, feel and act on a dai-
ly basis makes any differ-
ence at all.
These people generally
think that sport is all
about the physical factors.
They also tend to believe
that you are born to be a
champion with naturally
gifted talent because of
your genes and heredity.
This belief system as-
sumes the rest of us should
accept that we will never
be great athletes.
The skeptics' major
flaw starts with their
faulty thinking. For exam-
ple, if you think you are
never going to be a great
athlete, no matter how
much work and effort you
put in ... the improvement
will be negligible, so why
waste your time?
This negative thinking
is a mental landmine and
traps the athlete into be-
lieving hard work, effort
and altering your mental
landscape will only create
more frustration and dis-
appointment.
In other words, skeptics
operate with a mindset
that defeats them before
they even embark on their
sports journey. This pro-
cess accounts for the thou-
sands of athletes who drop
out every day from sport.
Another example of a
defeatist attitude occurs
when athletes say, "I don't
think this mental thing is
going to help me, but I will
go a few times and prove
that it is bogus."
If you want to be a
champion you need to go
into the mind game with
both feet, all in, no reser-
vations and complete fo-
cus on learning everything
you can to become a men-
tal giant.
The advantage is that
you don't have to possess a
perfect strong body and
perfect genes to be suc-
cessful in sport today, but
you do need to have a supe-
rior mindset to compete on
the highest levels of every
sport.
The good news is that
everyone who has an open
mind can learn to vastly
improve their mental
game in sport and life.
There are thousands of fa-
mous people in the past
and present who were told
they didn't have what it
takes to be a champion ath-
lete and have proven all
the experts wrong.
No one can predict who
is going to be the next
Gretzky, McDavid, Woods,
Henderson, Howe, Nick-
laus, Player and Mat-
thews. Only you know
what is inside of you. If you
have a superior mind then
you optimize your chances
of being the next great one.

COLUMNIST DOUG SMITH SAYS MENTAL
GAME MAKES HUGE DIFFERENCE TO
ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
DR DOUGLAS
SMITH
Column
OSHAWA - By winning
coach of the year honours
together, Dave Ashfield and
Alex Bianchi made some
history for Durham Col-
lege.
But, it was much more
special than even that for
the two longtime friends.
For posterity, it marked
the first time that both the
men's and women's soccer
coaches at the Oshawa col-
lege were so honoured by
the Ontario Colleges Ath-
letic Association (OCAA) in
the same year.
On a personal note, it
meant much more owing to
the fact Ashfield had sought
out Bianchi to be his assis-
tant with the men's team
five years ago, and then
heavily touted him to be the
top dog with the women's
team when the job became
available three years later -
even though he knew he
was losing a huge part of his
own staff in the process.
The two learned of the
awards at around the same
time on Oct. 25, but in differ-
ent Toronto locations as
their teams took part in
their respective provincial
championship tourna-
ments.
Texts - and congratula-
tions - were soon ex-
changed.
"For both of us to win the
award together at the same
time, it's really humbling,"
said Ashfield, who recruit-
ed Bianchi based on what
he had seen of him coaching
teams in Ajax for years.
"They were disciplined
when they were on the field
when it came to how they
dealt with officials and
their opponents with such a
respect level, and that is
what we wanted to instil in
the athletes at Durham Col-
lege."
Bianchi, now living in
Whitby, had coached soccer
in Ajax for 25 years, and in
that capacity knew Ash-
field more as an official. A
mutual respect has been
forged over the years and
now helps enhance both
programs at Durham Col-
lege.
"It's very easy now for
Dave and I to work togeth-
er," Bianchi explained. "We
know each other very well
and when we think of things
for the school, we're think-
ing it for both teams ... It's a
great working relationship
we have."
Results are showing on
the field.
Ashfield's squads have
qualified for the playoffs all
five years he's been at the
helm, and last year won its
first provincial champion-
ship in 20 years. Although
this year the team dipped to
fifth at the playoff champi-
onship, Ashfield was recog-
nized for leading a young
team to an unbeaten 6-0-4
regular season.
"That award is a team ac-
complishment," Ashfield
said, crediting his staff as
well. "That's right back to
the players and the effort
they put in on the field this
year."
Bianchi took over a team
coming off three straight
losing seasons two years
ago, and has led the Lords to
the provincials both years,
and into the national rank-
ings for the first time in 10
years. After a 9-2-1 regular
season this year, the team
won its first OCAA medal
since 2009, taking bronze af-
ter a 4-0 win over the Seneca
Sting.
Admitting he was sur-
prised to win the award, giv-
en both Humber and Fan-
shawe were a perfect 10-0-0
this season, Bianchi says
his work has only just be-
gun.
"Our ultimate goal is to
win a provincial champion-
ship and national champi-
onship," he said. "It's nice to
get a bronze, but we still
have lots of work to do to get
to the next level and that's
what we're going to keep
working on."
It will be an exciting year
on the pitch in 2019 at Dur-
ham College, with the
men's team slated to host
the Canadian College Ath-
letic Association champi-
onships.

OSHAWA - The Oshawa
Generals will have a
chance to pull away a bit
from a tight pack with an-
other busy week of Ontario
Hockey League play com-
ing up.
The Generals have
played well of late, winning
five of their past six games
to improve 8-5-1-0 for the
season, good for a share of
fifth place in the Ontario
Hockey League's Eastern
Conference.
Oshawa sits tied with
Barrie (8-6-1-0) and Sud-
bury (8-6-1-0), one point be-
hind both Peterborough (9-
7-0-0) and Mississauga (8-4-
2-0), a point ahead of North
Bay (8-7-0-0) and two up on
Hamilton (7-7-1-0).
The Generals will play
two of those teams this
week, plus another with a
similar record, as they
travel to Peterborough
Thursday before hosting
Owen Sound (8-6-0-1) Fri-
day at 7:35 p.m. and Barrie
Sunday at 6:05 p.m.
They're coming off a two
for three weekend, as they
defeated the Bulldogs 5-3 in
Hamilton Friday, lost 3-2 at
home to Kitchener (7-5-2-0)
Saturday and knocked off
Kingston 5-2 Sunday at the
Tribute Communities Cen-
tre.
Goalie Kyle Keyser, who
missed the first four games
of the season with an inju-
ry, has been key to the
team's success, sporting a
6-2-0-0 record, 2.36 goals-
against average and .926
save percentage.
Captain Jack Stud-
nicka, Kyle MacLean and
defenceman Matt Brassard
led the way Sunday with a
goal and assist apiece and a
plus-four. Tyler Tullio,
with his third goal in four
games, and Serron Noel,
with his team-leading 11th,
also scored for Oshawa.
In a rare Saturday home
game, the Generals out-
shot Kitchener 35-28, but
allowed the Rangers two
power-play goals while fail-
ing to click on three chanc-
es the other way. Tullio and
MacLean scored for Osha-
wa, while Cole Ceci was
charged with the loss,
dropping to 2-3-1-0 for the
season.
MacLean started an ex-
cellent week by scoring
twice in Hamilton, a game
that saw the Generals rally
from a 2-0 second-period
deficit. Noel, Danil Antro-
pov and Nick Wong also
scored, while Keyser made
27 saves for the win.
The Generals will now
lose Tullio and fellow rook-
ie Dylan Robinson to the
2018 World Under-17 Hock-
ey Challenge in New
Brunswick.
Tullio will play for Can-
ada Black, along with his
former Vaughan Kings
teammate Ryan O'Rourke
of Pickering, now a defen-
ceman with the Sault Ste.
Marie Greyhounds.
Robinson, from Picker-
ing, is with Canada White
along with Whitby forward
Cole Perfetti, also a former
Vaughan player who is now
with the Saginaw Spirit.
Courtice defenceman
Jack Thompson of the Sud-
bury Wolves will play for
Canada Red at the eight-
team tournament, which
runs Nov. 3-10.
On Monday, the Gener-
als acquired 19-year-old
forward Kyle Bollers from
the Saginaw Spirit in ex-
change for a 12th round
draft pick in 2023. An Osha-
wa native, Bollers had
eight goals and 18 points in
58 games with the Spirit
last season, and 7-20-27
numbers in 19 games with
the Aurora Tigers of the
Ontario Junior Hockey
League this season.

Oshawa Generals' Cole Ceci made a save against the Kitchener
Rangers at the Tribute Communities Centre Oct. 27. The

PETERBOROUGH
LONDON - Matt Leech
has dealt with plenty of eye
injuries over his 10 years as
an athletic therapist with
the Oshawa Generals, but
never anything as severe as
the one suffered during a
game at Budweiser Gar-
dens Friday, Oct. 19.
Unfortunately for
Leech, a 35-year-old Ajax
resident, he was on the op-
posite end of the treatment
in this case.
Late in a game that saw
the Generals escape with a
4-2 win over the London
Knights, Leech was struck
in the face with a puck by
Generals defenceman Ian
Blacker, who was trying to
clear the zone under heavy
pressure, and suffered
multiple lacerations in and
around his left eye.
Thankfully, there is
likely no better location in
the Ontario Hockey
League for such an injury
to occur, and Leech can
happily report less than a
week later that he should
be able to recover most, if
not all, of his vision.
"I heard it hit the glass
and then the next thing I
know, my whole face went
numb," he recalled four
days after the accident oc-
curred. "I knew the puck
had caught me in the eye ...
and I knew I was bleeding
because I could feel the hot
blood running down my
face."
Doug Stacey, long-time
physiotherapist/trainer
with the Knights immedi-
ately sprang into action -
"He was over the bench and
on our bench I think before
I even got my towel up to
my face," Leech said - and
soon after he was being
stitched up and examined
by Knights' team doctor
Ryan Arbeau.
Recognizing there had
been significant eye dam-
age, Arbeau, an emergency
room physician, called
ahead to Victoria Hospital
in London, where Leech
was fast-tracked, exam-
ined and soon after sent to
St. Joseph's Health Care
London. There, Dr. Mi-
chael Motolko of the re-
nowned Ivey Eye Institute
performed a two-hour sur-
gery at 2 a.m.
"I couldn't have asked
for better care," Leech said.
"Everyone at the hospital,
everyone with the London
Knights organization, and
the Generals have been
outstanding."
Roger Hunt, vice presi-
dent and general manager
of the Generals, stayed
with Leech throughout the
ordeal, and drove him
home late Saturday after-
noon to his wife, Brenda -
who had just turned the
game on TV to check the
score when he was being
escorted off the ice and into
medical care - and their
two-year-old daughter, Mi-
kayla.
"She just knows that
daddy has a boo-boo on his
eye," Leech said when
asked how his daughter re-
acted when she saw him
the next day.
Leech was wearing
glasses at the time of the ac-
cident, and while they were
shattered, he said he didn't
think it worsened the dam-
age. "It was like the puck
grabbed onto the cornea
and tried to rip it off," he ex-
plained. "Luckily in my di-
rect field of vision there
were no cuts."
Leech said there was
fortunately no damage to
the lens, retina or optic
nerve, while adding it will
take a year to determine
how much of his vision will
return. Owner of Elite
Sports Medicine and Con-
ditioning in Whitby, he
hopes to return to work
there and with the Gener-
als in two weeks, the mini-
mum suggested by doctors.
"It's only day three, and
I'm already going stir crazy
at home," he said. "I feel
OK. I feel optimistic that
things will eventually get
back to normal."

University hearing study
seeks participants.
ConnectHearing,withhearingresearcher
Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the
University of Toronto, seeks participants
whoareover50yearsofageandhavenever
worn hearing aids for a hearing study
investigating factors that can influence
better hearing. All participants will have
a hearing test provided at no charge and
if appropriate, the clinician may discuss
hearing rehabilitation options including
hearing aids. Qualifying participants
may also receive a demo of the latest
hearing technology. The data collected
from this study will be used to further
our understanding of hearing loss and
improvelife-changing hearinghealthcare
across Canada.
Why participate in the hearing study?
Hearing problems typically result from
damage to the ear and researchers have
spent decades trying to understand
the biology behind hearing loss. More
importantly, researchers now realize the
need to better understand how hearing
lossaffectsyoureverydaylife*.Inthisnew
hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller
and her team are trying to find out how
people learn to live with hearing loss and
hownewsolutionscouldhelpthesepeople
takeactionsoonerandlivelifemorefully.
It is estimated that 46% of people aged
45 to87havesomedegreeofhearingloss1,
butmostdonotseektreatmentrightaway.
In fact, the average person with hearing

This is because at the beginning stages of

a struggle throughout the entire day.
By studying people who have difficulty
hearing in noise or with television, we
hope to identify key factors impacting
these difficulties and further understand
their influence on the treatment process.

UXBRIDGE - With 50
per cent of residents regis-
tered as organ donors, Ux-
bridge boasts one of the
highest rates in the prov-
ince.
As of Sept. 30 Uxbridge
became one of only 31 com-
munities across the prov-
ince to reach a rate of 50
per cent or higher for reg-
istered organ donors.
"That's tremendous,
that's what our goal is for
the rest of the province,"
said Ronnie Gavsie, CEO
of the Trillium Gift of Life
Network.
"When we can say we
have a 50 per cent dona-
tion rate, we can say we
have a culture of donation.
Ontario can't say that yet,
but Uxbridge can say that,
so it is something to be
proud of. You are setting
an example we are all try-
ing to achieve."
Currently Ontario has
a 33 per cent rate of organ
donor registration, with
four million registered
out of an eligible 12.3 mil-
lion, and 1,578 Ontarians
waiting for a life-saving
organ transplant. At 50
per cent donor registra-
tion, Uxbridge is ranked 31
out of 170 Ontario commu-
nities for registration, and
is the top-ranked commu-
nity in Durham, followed
by Port Perry and Bow-
manville (ranked 76 and
77) with 47 per cent regis-
tration each.
Gavsie notes that high-
er registration rates are
more common in smaller
communities. Urban ar-
eas, with more transient
communities, generally
have lower rates.
"Close communities
where people know each
other better and are af-
fected by the challenges
facing one another seem
to have higher rates," Gav-
sie explains.
"I'm going to conclude
that Uxbridge is a very
warm community where
people care about each
other, care about each oth-
er's experience, and may
know of people who are
members of a donor fami-
ly or have received a trans-
plant and as a result are
moved to register," said
Gavsie.
"Currently there are
three people in Uxbridge
who are on the medically
urgent wait list for a life-
saving transplant. This
isn't something that you
can say happens to some
other group and not to us.
It's going on every hour of
every day and it affects all
of us in Ontario."
There are more than 75
people on the waiting list
for a life-saving organ
transplant across Dur-
ham, including 33 in Ajax,
23 in Oshawa, 11 in Picker-
ing, 10 in Whitby and less
than five in Bowmanville,
Uxbridge and Port Perry.
Gavsie notes the impor-
tance of registering and
speaking to family mem-
bers about the decision to
donate. When someone is
not registered and fami-
lies are not aware of a
loved one's wishes, they
are far less likely to grant
consent for donation.
"It's very hard on a fam-
ily who has lost a loved
one and are being ap-
proached for consent to
have to think through
what their loved one
would have wanted," she
said.
One organ donor can
save up to eight lives, and
enhance the lives of up to
75 others through tissue
donation.
Ontario residents must
be over the age of 16 and
hold a valid health card to
register. Registration is
available in person at any
Service Ontario centre or
online at www.beadonor-
.ca.

With a number of impor-
tant wine tastings, such as
the upcoming Oshawa In-
ternational, on hand to
challenge and educate our
organoleptic abilities, I
thought it would be wise to
review the art of tasting.
The ability to taste has
both genetic and educated
factors. Genetics plays a
role in that we are all born
with a number of receptors
on our tongue that are sen-
sitive to pressure and chem-
ical differences. The
tongue, in general, recog-
nizes four different tastes:
sweet, sour, salty and bitter.
The nose also has special-
ized receptors that are sen-
sitive to aromas and other
chemicals. Sight comes to
play in that what we see
leads us to expect what we
will taste.
Both the nose and
tongue play a part in our
tasting of wine or any other
type of food. If in doubt,
pinch the nose and try to
identify common items
without its use. On the oth-
er hand, the tactile sensitiv-
ity of the tongue gives us the
ability to decipher body
with the item we taste.
Each person has a differ-
ent number of receptors -
some people more than oth-
ers.
Educating these recep-
tors comes from practice.
The more we seriously
taste, the more we will
learn. This learning de-
pends also on memory, not
only to the senses, but to
what was going on around
one at the time.
The semantics of wine
tasting is the same as any
other type of drinking or
eating. I use the anachro-
nism of the six S's: sight,
swirl, smell, sip, savour and
swallow.
We look at the wine and
make sure it is clear and
pleasing to the eye. Upon
acceptance, we swirl the
glass to allow the wine to
contact air, thus releasing
more of its bouquet and aro-
mas. Here we use our noses
to guide us through what
we are identifying, which
could include common as-
sociations and memories.
We then take a sip and slosh
it around, allowing the
wine to contact all parts of
the tongue. We identify the
body, sweetness (or not),
acidity, integrity and bal-
ance of the wine. We savour
the wine and then swallow.
The aftertaste that remains
is called the "finish" and in
many ways reflects the
quality of the wine - the lon-
ger the finish, the better the
wine.
Pick three wines such as
a Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sau-
vignon and Tempranillo.
Note the differences of each
using the methods above.
Take your time and use
your imagination.
When at wine tastings,
try to put these factors into
use, but first and foremost,
just enjoy the moment.

OSHAWA - Police are
asking the public for help
identifying a man who
punched and pepper-
sprayed a complete strang-
er last week.
On Oct. 23 at about 2
p.m., police say a 36-year-
old Realtor arrived at a
home on Oberland Drive in
Oshawa, with plans to
show the rental property.
While he was waiting for
the client to arrive, the Re-
altor noticed a man looking
at his vehicle, which he had
parked in the driveway.
When the Realtor ap-
proached the man and
asked what he was doing,
the man punched him in
the face and sprayed him
with a substance, before
running away.
The suspect is described
as a white man between the
ages of 30 and 35, about six
feet tall with a reddish-
brown goatee.
He was wearing a grey
hoodie and a black hat and
was last seen getting into a
vehicle described as a
white SUV.
Anyone with informa-
tion about the identity of
the suspect is asked to call
Durham regional police at
905-579-1520 ext. 1611 or
make an anonymous tip to
Crime Stoppers at 1-800-

DURHAM - An art mar-
ketplace, auction, talks
and demonstrations are
coming to the Pickering
Town Centre (PTC).
Cultural Expressions
Art Gallery Inc. is hosting
the event, with and pro-
ceeds benefitting the gal-
lery's post-secondary arts
scholarship. It is to be pre-
sented at the gallery's 12th
Annual Durham Black
History Month Celebration
on Feb. 2 at J. Clarke Rich-
ardson Collegiate in Ajax.
"This scholarship will
be offered to students from
under-represented com-
munities between 17 to 20
years of age residing in
Durham Region planning
to pursue an arts education
at a Canadian university,
college or post-secondary
school of the arts," says gal-
lery president Esther
Forde in a press release.
"We believe in the impor-
tance of the arts in our
community and recognize
the lack of funding in this
discipline. We would like to
encourage and help our fu-
ture generation develop
and utilize their natural
talents by offering this
scholarship."
The Exhibition Market-
place runs from Nov. 1 to 26,
with work by local artists
including Allan O'Marra,
Kirsty Naray, Wayne Pris-
que and Marie Blanchard
Thomas on display and for
sale. There will also be wa-
tercolour and acrylic
painting demonstrations.
On Nov. 4 at 2 p.m.,
there's an art auction fea-
turing more than 50 works
by Zimbabwean stone
sculptor Passmore Mash-
aya. He has shown his work
in Durham before. Mash-
aya's "Family Creation"
piece was purchased by the
Town of Ajax and is at the
McLean Community Cen-
tre. Forde says Bucking-
ham Palace purchased
Mashaya's "Princess."
Durham sculptors Dor-
sey James of Pickering and
Geordie Lishman of Ajax
are presenting art talks on
Nov. 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. and
Nov. 22 (time to be deter-
mined), respectively.
Everything is happen-
ing on the lower level of the
PTC, in the store space
across from the kids' play
area.

scholarship, auction and
the Black History Month
celebration, follow @Dur-
hamBHM on Facebook,

IL FORNELLO has something for everyone to enjoy.
IL FORNELLO Restaurant located at 95 Kingston Road, just west of Salem in Ajax has steadily become the “go-to spot” for
some of the best all-around great Italian dining in Durham and is well deserving of our Readers’ Choice Award as Ajax/Pickering’s
“Best Pasta and Best Italian Restaurant.”
However,there is a lot more than just delicious pasta on the menu.Enticing entrees like Steak,ChickenAsiago and Salmon
are also popular choices as are the Appetizers like Calamari Fritti, Caesar Salad, Garlic Bread and much more.
The eclectic design of the dining room is casual and welcoming with the focal point being the Santa Stefano wood-burning
oven, imported from Italy.The classic Neapolitan-style, thin crust pizzas that come out of this oven are as close as you can
get to the original pizzas found in the best restaurants in Italy. And these delicious pizzas such as Prosciutto Pizza, Bacon
Pizza,BBQ Chicken Pizza and the classic Pizza Margherita are bargain priced at only $12 Monday toThursday after 4:00 PM.
Always leading the way in catering to the dietary needs of their customers,IL FORNELLO also has a wide-ranging selection
of Plant-Based menu items.Among the many plant-based appetizers is the hugely popular Avocado Caesar Salad and the
Cashew Tofu Agnolotti is a top seller of the plant-based pastas, but there are also pizzas, desserts and even wine that are
all 100% plant-based.
With seating for 200 in the dining room, 30 seats at the bar and a semi-private dining space for up to 40, IL FORNELLO
is the perfect spot for your family or office Holiday Party. Choose from set menus priced from $25 to $39 or from the full
Menu,Kids Menu or theVegan plant-based menu.As they say in Italian“Cibo per tutti!”-IL FORNELLO has something for
everyone to enjoy.

DURHAM - "Water, wa-
ter, everywhere," says the
mariner in Coleridge's po-
em.
And that's the theme for
Canadian Storytelling Day
2018 - Running Deep: The
Power of Water.
Durham Storytellers
(DS) will be saying, playing
and maybe even singing at
three places in Durham to
celebrate the day.
"Canadian Storytelling
Day, originally Canadian
Storytelling Night, is a
time for storytellers coast
to coast to gather people to-
gether in November at the
turn of the year and tell Ca-
nadian stories that reflect
our history, origins and
tales brought by newcom-
ers and melded into the Ca-
nadian landscape," says
Heather Whaley of Bow-
manville. "Durham Story-
tellers are especially
thrilled with this year's
theme and have been gath-
ering up fun, interesting
and mystical tales that take
place on our beautiful
lakes, creeks, ponds, rivers
and oceans - and about
some animals that inhabit
them. When we are born
we are 90 per cent water
and as adults we are 70 per
cent. We are all born
through water and live
with it all around us."
Durham Storytellers
from across the region are
performing:
. Nov. 4, 2 to 3:30 p.m. in
the auditorium of the Pick-
ering Central Library, One
The Esplanade, Pickering,
for families with kids ages
5 years and up. Performing
are storyteller Dianne
Chandler (Port Perry), sto-
ryteller Enid DeCoe (Cour-
tice), storyteller and harp-
ist Kim Michele (Picker-
ing), storyteller and visual
artist Summi Siddiqui
(Ajax), storyteller Kath-
leen Smyth (Bowmanville)
and storyteller and singer/
songwriter Whaley;
. Nov. 7, 2 to 3:30 p.m. at
Traditions of Durham Re-
tirement Villa, 1255 Bloor
St. E., Oshawa, for adults.
Performers include story-
tellers Doris Cherkas (Osh-
awa) Peter Dawes (Picker-
ing), Graham Ducker (Osh-
awa) and Sheila Ryan
(Courtice);
. Nov. 10, 7 to 9 p.m. at
Faith United Church, 1778
Nash Rd., Courtice, for
adults and older children.
Performers include Cher-
kas, Dawes, Ducker and
Ryan.
Whaley noted that all of
the venues are accessible
and a limited number of
hearing devices will be
available at the Pickering
and Courtice events.
There is no charge to at-
tend.
