Get more community news now DURHAM - Canada is facing a major shortfall of trained pilots and the shortage is only expected to grow in the future. However, there are two private flight schools at the Oshawa Airport where in two years or less a student can graduate as a trained pilot into an eager job market - as long as the students can find the tuition mon- ey and the flight schools can keep enough instructors from being poached by the airlines. "It's a current shortage. It's al- most a crisis now," said John Da- vis, president of the Canadian Flight Academy at the Oshawa Airport (owned by Toronto Air- ways). "We normally have 30 to 40 instructors on staff and we're down under 20 full-time instruc- tors. At one point we had over 100 students waiting for training." Pilot Mike Delaney completed his walk around before a flight from the Oshawa airport on Oct. 25. There is a looming shortage of pilots for the aviation industry.

O fficers were dis- patched to the area at around 5 a.m. on Nov. 6, after witnesses reported hearing numerous gun- shots. One person was in the residence at the time of the shooting, but no in- juries were reported, say Durham police. Investigators are un- sure if the incident is connected to a previous call the night before in t he same neighbourhood, when officers responded t o the sounds of gunfire, but found no evidence at t he scene. Officers have "re- ceived limited informa- tion" and are hoping that witnesses will come for- ward to help with the in- vestigation, say police. A nyone with new in- formation is asked to con- tact Detective-Constable Conforti at 905-579-1520, extension 2541. HOME STRUCK BY SINGLE BULLET IN PICKERING SHOOTING In the midst of a mur- der trial, a Whitby man made a surprise plea and admitted to stabbing a man to death in Wasaga Beach over two years ago. Jonathan Landsberg, now 21, stood before a judge and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder of Francesco Molinaro, 18, of Caledon. It was at the end of the Crown's case last week that Landsberg suddenly decided to plead guilty to stabbing Molinaro sever- al times in the side and back during a street fight in Wasaga Beach on the long weekend May 21, 2016. He was sentenced to life in prison, with no chance at parole for 10 years. T he surprise plea was held under publication ban, and the jury was not told why Landsberg was no longer in the court- room. The jury was not present for the plea. T he jury may have been con- f used, but no expla- nation was given and the trial con- tinued on with a second man also charged in the murder, Eric Tal- bot, 22, of Pickering. The Crown claims Talbot knew his friend Landsb- erg had a knife and assis- ted him with the killing by holding Molinaro with force as he was being stabbed. "Francesco Molinaro didn't have a chance," said the Crown, Mike F lossman. In court, the Crown played a disturbing video that shows three men at- tacking Francesco when suddenly Landsberg grabs a knife from his jacket and makes several quick stabs at Molinaro. Witnesses testified Landsberg often carried a knife around and liked to be a "tough guy." Two of the stab wounds pierced through rib bones and punctured his lung. Witnesses testified there was no reason for the at- tack - the three men bumped into Molinaro, words were said, and the three-on-one attack en- sued. After the stabbing the three men fled the scene and Molinaro col- lapsed on the street and died a short time later. Last July a third man, Austin Zambrano-Peter- son, 21, of North York, pleaded guilty to man- slaughter last July and was sentenced to five years in prison. The judge said it was "extremely troubling" that just two weeks after the murder both Landsb- erg and Zambrano-Peter- son callously robbed an- other man at knifepoint in Durham. Both men did not know that they were under police surveillance for murder at the time. At press time, the jury was still deliberating over whether or not Tal- b ot was guilty of the mur- d er, even though it was Landsberg who used the knife. Talbot's lawyer told the jury his client had no idea his friend had a knife and should be found not guilty. In court Molinaro's p arents wept as they de- scribed the pain of losing their son.

Ashley Noble, 20, won one of three Oshawa public school board trustee seats in the Oct. 22 municipal election, garnering 6,569 votes - enough to eke out a narrow victory over in- cumbent Oshawa trustee Linda Stone. "I don't think it really hit me until a few days later," says Noble. She and her supporters were on pins and needles on election night as they watched the results come in at Oshawa City Hall. "When that last poll came in and I saw that I had won ... it almost felt fake. It was so overwhelming," she says. Her age was a focal point during the campaign - at al- most every door she knocked on, people would exclaim, "you're so young!" Noble says being young is an asset for a school trustee. After all, it was only a few years ago that she graduated from a Durham District School Board (DDSB) high school. "I have a student per- spective. A recent student perspective," she says. But she is clear that youth is just a small part of what she brings to the ta- ble. Noble wants people to know she has a history of advocacy work and cam- paigned on a platform to make schools "equitable, accessible, healthy and safe." She says those broad ideas encompass many of the issues parents and stu- dents are concerned about, from bullying to school in- frastructure. Noble was born and raised in Oshawa and at- tended DDSB schools from kindergarten to Grade 12. She is now in her third year of the communica- tions and critical thinking program at Trent Universi- ty's Durham campus. "I've kind of always wanted to be a megaphone for people who don't have a voice," she says, explaining what drew her to the pro- gram. In addition to being among the youngest school board trustees elected in ei- ther Ontario or Canada, Noble is also one of a small number who is openly gay. She says it's important for LGBTQ people to be vis- ible in government. "For that 12 year old who is maybe just coming out, to see someone who is not straight in a political posi- tion, they feel re- presented," she says. After coming out in high school, Noble says she helped grow the GSA (gay straight alliance) at R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate and Vocational Institute, from two to 24 members in the two years that she was in- volved. "We raised a lot of awareness, we corrected a lot of incorrect terminolo- gy that was being used, we gave students a safe place to be themselves," she says. "It was really important for me to put myself out there, to put my face at the fore- front." Organizations like the Ontario Public School Boards Association and the Ontario Catholic School Trustees Associa- tion, don't keep data on the age of trustees. However, Noble is wide- ly believed to be one of the youngest female trustees elected in either Ontario or Canada. Others in their early twenties - and even teens - have filled trustee roles, but have mostly been men. In British Columbia, Collin Phillip was 18 when he was elected as a trustee with the Delta School Dis- trict in 1993, and Alex McAuley was also 18 when he was elected trustee with the Chilliwack School Dis- trict in 2002. Young people have also landed the role of school board chair in recent years; in 2017, Ravi Parmar, 22, was elected chair of the Sooke School District in B.C., and in 2016, Matt Reid, 30, became the youngest school board chair in Onta- rio, when he was elected to chair the Thames Valley District School Board. Noble is looking for- ward to her first DDSB board meeting and says she hopes her successful elec- tion will inspire more young people to get in- volved in politics. "It's just an honour and an absolute privilege that the community put their faith in me."

Is it better to share informa- tion about the transition with classmates and the school com- munity, or aim for confidentiali- ty? What about washrooms? Change rooms? Rooming on over- night trips? Those are just a few of the common questions teachers have about supporting transgender students - questions the Durham District School Board is trying to answer through training ses- sions and an updated set of guide- lines. "What we hear is that they want to support the student, but sometimes they're not sure how," says Barry Bedford, the DDSB's education officer for equity and inclusive education. About 50 teachers and other school staff from both elementa- ry and high schools gathered on Oct. 30 to take part in a profes- sional development session fo- cused on supporting transgender students - more than 20 others are on a wait list. "This training is completely voluntary, it speaks volumes that it is at capacity with a waiting list," Bedford notes. An updated "Supporting Trans Students in our Schools" document released by the DDSB this fall, walks school staff through what to consider before, during and after a student's gen- der transition. Tips for schools include: sup- porting and sustaining GSA (gay- straight alliance) clubs; making gender-neutral washrooms and change rooms available; educat- ing parent councils about LGBTQ issues; requiring all school staff, parents and students to use a transgender student's preferred name and pronouns and using a student's preferred name and pronouns on all school records. "It's becoming more and more prevalent that students and fami- lies are sharing that part of them- selves with us," says Leandra Coore, a Grade 6 teacher at Blair Ridge Public School in Brooklin who attended the Oct. 30 session. She has taught transgender students in the past and says it's crucial for teachers to have the tools to provide support. "I think there is definitely a fear of not doing the right thing, or not saying the right thing," she says. "That's why this training is needed." In 2011, Egale Canadian Hu- man Rights Trust conducted the first-ever national survey on ho- mophobia, biphobia and tran- sphobia in Canadian schools. The data showed 78 per cent of trans students feel unsafe at school and 98 per cent hear tran- sphobic comments daily or week- ly from other students, while 23 per cent hear transphobic lan- guage from teachers. The DDSB guide says there is no "one size fits all" approach to supporting a student through a gender transition; a lot depends on the individual student and family's preferences and the school's unique culture. School staff are reminded to be "open but respectful" with questions about a student's tran- sition - but not ask questions about the person's body - and to plan for possible negative reac- tions. "Be aware that some students and parents may object to the transition and their continued presence within the school. Have another plan to deal with this possible outcome," the document says. "Assist the student in devel- oping the self-esteem necessary to successfully move through this time of transition while maintaining their educational fo- cus and personal well-being."

Pickering 365-300-5700mexican kitchen & bar Have you ever been told you were too boyish or too girlish? Has anyone ever suggested the clothes you wear, or the music you lis- ten to, are not masculine or feminine enough? Have you ever been advised not to let your child play cer- tain sports or with differ- ent toys because others might think badly of them? In research I conducted in the Durham Region with approximately 600 students (ages eight-18), many reported hearing such judgments about gen- der in their homes, schools and communities. One Grade 8 student wrote, "My little cousin is two and he gets teased a lot because he likes to dress up like a princess." Some, however, felt ac- cepted by family members, teachers or friends in how they expressed gender. One Grade 11 student re- sponded, "I hunt and fish regularly with my Dad, but everyone has accepted it and never cared." Such findings tell me there's still a lot of work to do to convince people to stop bugging other people about their gender. But al- so, that it is possible to raise your child to feel pride and confidence in their gender. When presenting on my research findings, one teacher candidate raised his hand in class and asked, "Why is it that I'm 25 years old, and nobody ever asked me to think about what kind of man I want to be." He was too old to have benefitted from the 2015 Health and Physical Edu- cation Curriculum: Grades 1-8 that explicitly asked teachers to explore such topics, but his ques- tion is more important than ever in the age of #MeToo. While it is unfortunate the new provincial govern- ment has eliminated some truly loving curriculum expectations, it's good to know that the 2010 version of the Health and Physical Education Curriculum: Grades 1-8 did emphasize the importance of creating accepting environments for students of all gender identities and expressions. Teachers and school boards can rest assured they have the law on their side when they affirm a child's feeling of being a girl, a boy, or both, or nei- ther, or trans. And our young people can have the opportunity to experience the strength and beauty in their bodies that can come from such affirmation.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM EDITORIAL LETTERS & COMMENTARY Although his expectations are low for his private member's bill - on underfunded pension plans surviving and ultimately being passed into law - Durham MP Erin O'Toole nonetheless believes the bill would be good for anxious retirees and ultimately for Canada, too. Bankruptcies in companies with underfunded pension plans - Nortel springs to mind in 2009, as does the almost- bankruptcy of General Motors in 2008 and, most recently, Sears Canada - have shown how vulnerable thousands of Canadians are when it comes to their retirement. Passing a bill such as MP O'Toole's would go a long way to eliminating financial uncertainty for retirees of companies that have gone bankrupt. To this point, the employees of these companies are being caught in the squeeze, forced to accept much less in retirement funds. In the case of Sears Canada, retirees of that bankrupt company had their pensions reduced by 30 per cent. O'Toole said in his six years as MP, the issue of pen- sion security has been raised repeatedly by voters in Durham; first with a group of General Motors retirees. MP O'Toole's bill - his first private member's bill - seeks to amend the Pension Benefits Act and the Compa- nies' Creditors Arrangement Act by doing three things to bring more financial certainty and fairness to these pensioners. First, the bill would give the pension administrators more flexibility in preserving remaining pension funds and enhancing the returns for pensioners. The changes would authorize the administrator of an underfunded pension plan, in certain situations, to amend the plan or to transfer part of the assets or liabilities of the pension plan to another pension plan. Second, the bill would limit the large executive re- tention payments made in insolvencies that dwindle resources. O'Toole said big, grossly unfair payouts, bleed the company and taint the trust of employees. O'Toole believes this amendment would promote fairness in a big way. Third, the bill would promote greater collaboration in addressing these risks between all levels of govern- ment, and private pension companies. O'Toole has said some groups tackling the underfund- ed pension plan issue, including the Canadian Associa- tion of Retired Persons (CARP), are of the belief that his private member's bill doesn't go far enough. CARP and its supporters are lobbying the federal government to amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and the Com- panies' Creditors Arrangement Act to give pensioners super-priority. O'Toole, however, said CARP concedes it's happy to see the issue being debated and policy propos- als being put forward. The bill is up for its second reading in the House of Commons. A vote is expected on the private member's bill later this month. If it passes the second reading, the bill would go to committee for consideration. Although O'Toole resides on the other side of the aisle from the governing Liberals, this bill - solely on its merits - should be passed on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. DURHAM MP ERIN O'TOOLE'S PENSION BILL SHOULD BE SUPPORTED IN OTTAWA CONCERNS OVER MATH SKILLS A NEVER-ENDING PROBLEM TO THE EDITOR: RE: BY THE NUMBERS: ONLY HALF OF DURHAM GRADE 6S MEETING PROVINCIAL STANDARD FOR MATH, NEWS, OCT. 10 The Durham District School Board (DDSB) sees "really good news" when reading that some math scores are down from last year. I assume that because not all scores dropped, the DDSB is "high fiving" ev- eryone. Not all students are go- ing to perform well at math. Having said that, slightly over half of the stu- dents met or exceeded what was expected of them. The board says that it will be sending out math kits so that students and parents can work on improving skills. There was concern over math skills over 30 years ago and the concerns are still with us. What has the school board been doing in the last 30 years? If the school board is happy with these results, then I understand why many students are happy with barely passing. RICK HIRD, WHITBY RESIDENT HOPES GRANDVIEW CHILDREN'S CENTRE REACHES ITS FUNDRAISING GOALS SOON TO THE EDITOR: RE: DURHAM'S GRANDVIEW FOUNDATION LAUNCHES BELIEVE CAMPAIGN AIMED AT REACHING $20 MILLION FUNDRAISING GOAL, NEWS, WWW.DURHAMREGION.COM I was very interested in the story about Grandview. My philosophy of giving is that if a million people give a dollar that's a lot of mon- ey. If they give $5, $10, etc. that's even more money. Groups can put their mon- ey in together if they don't have much to spare.I don't think it should take us long to find the balance of funds for Grandview Children's Centre.If the banks want to get involved, all the kids in schools can contribute by asking their parents for any loose change lying around the house. This could be taken in at the banks on behalf of Grand- view.I'm sending my dona- tion today. Good luck, Grandview. I hope your goal will be reached soon. VAL COLLINS, AJAX READER DOESN'T BELIEVE DURHAM NEEDS A REGIONAL CHAIR TO THE EDITOR: I often wondered what a regional chair does, and when Roger Anderson died and John Henry was run- ning for regional chair, I fi- nally looked up what it en- tailed. I was totally as- tounded at what they actu- ally do or do not do because everything that I read says that they do not do much!A regional chair does much the same thing that a reeve would do in a general area. One thing that I do agree with the provincial govern- ment is I hope they take a really good look at regional chairs and what they do. I do not think that a regional chair is necessary. It is a waste of time, money and everything else!

DURHAM - The Univer- sity of Ontario Institute of Technology is trying out a new nickname. The school announced this fall that it will be ex- perimenting with using "ONTechU" as a short form, in place of UOIT. There are no plans to change the university's le- gal name. UOIT has struggled with its name since open- ing 15 years ago. Officials have noted over the years that the full name is a mouthful, while people frequently mix up the letters in the initialism, or confuse it with "U of T," which stands for the Uni- versity of Toronto. A recent Macleans mag- azine story on UOIT, said the school needs to "over- come its vowel-filled name" UOIT president Steven Murphy, who started in the role in March, says he was "shocked" by how often the school's name is said incor- rectly at galas and commu- nity events. "I've probably heard ev- ery possible combination," he says. It's why he's hoping the university will embrace "ONTechU" as a "snappier" new handle, that under- scores a technology focus. "It's sort of been around our neck for the whole 15 years," Murphy says of the school's name. "It's time to have a really good dialogue about it." So far, that dialogue has sparked some intense opin- ions. Murphy hosted a town- hall style discussion with students on Oct. 22 and says there was "vigorous debate." Comments on social me- dia suggest many students either want to keep the cur- rent UOIT moniker, or would be open to a fresh handle, but don't like ON- TechU - the #uoitforever hashtag is beginning to compete with #ONTechU. "ONTechU has the same problem as UOIT, both of them are a mouthful," one Facebook commenter said. "Please, just give us a short name that's easy to tell peo- ple in job interviews." Others called the new nickname "idiotic," or said it lacks gravitas. "ONTechU doesn't sound credible. It resem- bles something you would hear advertised on the ra- dio offering 'employable, industry-ready skills,' not- ed one Facebook user, while another said ONTe- chU "sounds like the dis- tant cousin of DeVry." Students on social me- dia have suggested alterna- tives such as Ontario Tech, University of Ontario (Uo- fO) or Ontario Institute of Technology (OIT). "I do take branding very seriously," Murphy says. "How do we build brand that can better serve us?" For now, ONTechU ap- pears mainly as a social media hashtag, but Mur- phy says sports jerseys and school spirit wear would be good places to test it out. The name change dis- cussion has been done be- fore. Back in 2008, UOIT had focus groups, surveys and an ad hoc committee dedi- cated to the search for a better name. Suggestions 10 years ago included Central Ontario University, McLaughlin University, University of Oshawa, Technology Uni- versity of Ontario, and On- tario Lakeridge University. It's not unusual for col- leges and universities to make name changes or re- brand. In 2010 the Ontario Col- lege of Art and Design be- came OCAD University, while the University of Western Ontario still re- tains its full legal name but corporately rebranded as "Western" or "Western Uni- versity" in 2012. Ryerson University started out as Ryerson In- stitute of Technology in 1948, then had several name changes before land- ing on the current version in 2002. FROM UOIT TO ONTECHU?

Ryan Pfeiffer/Metroland COMMUNITY dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , N o v e m b e r 8 , 2 0 1 8 | 12 By 2025, there will be a shortfall of approximately 3,000 pilots in Canada. Al- ready some regional air car- riers are finding it a chal- lenge to attract and retain qualified pilots, Canadian Airports Council president Daniel-Robert Gooch told the House of Commons standing committee on transport. As a result, there has been an increase in the cancellation of regional flights in some parts of Can- ada due to crew shortages, according to the CAC. The pilot shortage (caused in part by the ex- pansion in the airline indus- try and retiring baby-boom- er pilots) is having a trickle down impact on the indus- try. Normally, a newly- trained pilot would start in the industry as a flight in- structor for three to five years. Then move up to a small airline and work for another two to three years before having enough flight hours to apply to the major airlines such as Air Canada and West Jet. Now the Osha- wa flight school is losing in- structors to the airlines af- ter just six months. "It's all based on experi- ence, typically. To get to the airlines you have to have a number of hours just even to meet insurance require- ments. Those requirements are dropping like rocks," said Davis. With enough qualified instructors - which is be- coming increasingly diffi- cult - Canada can produce approximately 1,200 fresh commercial pilots each year, according to Davis. Approximately half of the newly-trained pilots that graduate each year are in- ternational students, most of which return home to work. Canadian Flight Acade- my chief flight instructor Andrew Leslie launched his love of flying as an Oshawa Air Cadet at 12 years old and was able to fly alone before he had a driver's licence. He said he would love to see more Durham youth con- sidering a career as a pilot. He said local students who want to become pilots are fortunate to have training available to them while they live at home. "I don't think it's a job that kids in high school or even grade school get enough exposure to ... Avia- tion was not something that is provided to them as an op- tion," said Leslie. Davis added the male- dominated industry is ac- tively trying to attract more women, Indigenous peoples and minorities. The Canadi- an Flight Academy presents scholarships to two local ca- det squadrons in Whitby and Oshawa and two female cadets won this year. One of the cadets has already start- ed training at the flight school. "There's jobs. There's jobs available and it's a great opportunity for the youth, in this area particularly be- cause they're lucky enough to have an airport in their backyard and two flight schools here," said Davis. A big hurdle for prospec- tive students is getting the funding to pay for flight school. The training to be- come a commercial pilot costs between $75,000 to more than $100,000 and OSAP can't be used for pri- vate flight schools - like the ones in Durham. There are aviation col- lege and university pro- grams - the closest one to Durham is at the Peterbor- ough Airport through Sene- ca College - where students can get traditional student loans for flight training, but competition is intense for student spots in the four- year program. The combined efforts of post-secondary aviation programs and private flight schools aren't going to pro- duce enough pilots to meet the looming demand. On Monday, Oct. 15, a mo- tion was tabled in the House of Commons to initiate a parliamentary study of flight training in Canada by Kelowna - Lake Country member of Parliament Ste- phen Fuhr. "Mr. Speaker, Canada is facing a severe pilot short- age, and it has lost the abil- ity to generate the pilots it needs today or that it will re- quire tomorrow. This prob- lem will continue to grow unless there is significant effort put toward solving the situation," MP Fuhr said in the House. "Aviation serves a variety of crucial roles in the Canadian economy by safely and efficiently trans- porting people, moving car- go and supplying or acting as a vital lifeline to northern and rural communities." In an informal lesson with Flight Instructor Mike Delaney, he explains why the Oshawa Airport is a great place for future-pilots to train. The airport has air traffic control, giving new pilots experience talking to the tower. Then if a pilot heads east, by Bowmanville the airplane is outside the tower's control zone and pi- lots have to radio each other to report their locations. "We want to make sure there's places (new pilots) can go to that don't have air traffic control towers," said Delaney, in an aircraft smaller than most two-door cars. The plane drives more like a bulldozer than a car, and pilots need co-ordina- tion to use their hands and feet at the same time. Dela- ney steers with his feet on pedals and hands on the yoke (aka. control wheel). As the plane loops from Oshawa to Clarington and then North to Scugog, Dela- ny points out landmarks, checks his instruments, ra- dios other pilots and the control tower. It seems an impossible amount to keep straight, but he insists it's just a matter of good training and experi- ence. "When you have confi- dence in your ability to han- dle the airplane, you can fo- cus on the other tasks," said Delaney For more information on flight schools in Oshawa vis- it the Canadian Flight Acad- emy/Toronto Airways Inc. at www.canadianflightaca- demy.ca or Durham Flight Centre at www.durham- flightcentre.com.

Don’t announce trips away from home on social media. Arrange to have newspaper deliveries stopped while you’re away, and have someone pick up the mail and mow the lawn (or shovel the snow). Protect your property and your assets. Sign a proxy giving a person you trust the power to make decisions on your behalf regarding your assets and your healthcare when necessary. Have a will drawn up, and don’t keep large sums of cash in your home. Secure your home. Have an alarm system and good locks installed, and always lock your doors. Install a peephole so you can see your visitors without being seen before opening the door. Be prudent when driving. Lock car doors even when you’re in the car. Park in well-lit parking lots, and take out your keys in advance so you can get into the house or car quickly. Avoid driving for long periods of time or when visibility is poor. Prevent falls. Make sure all rooms and stairways are well lit and that things aren’t left lying around on the oor. Remove area rugs and use assistive devices (a cane and grab bars in the bathroom). Manage your medications appropriately. Clean out your medicine cabinet regularly. Never take more than the prescribed dose of a medication. Use a pill organizer to stay on track with doses. Use all necessary assistive devices. Look into getting a walker, a large-keypad phone, a doorbell indicator ligh, a cell phone that you can keep with you at all times. Be prepared for emergencies. Make a list of people to contact in case you need help, especially people who are close by or are readily available.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Pickering 705 Kingston Rd., Unit 15 905-420-3223 I wish you'd seen them - two long tables covered with curved, pronged and pointed weapons that took "macho" to a whole new level. When John McFee- ters, antler expert and art- ist, shared his collection and knowledge at the Thickson's Woods nature festival, I was able to get up close and personal with all kinds of deer, moose, elk and caribou headgear. Was able to feel how heavy they are, these racks of solid bone that males grow every summer and have to carry around, dis- playing for all to see just how strong, healthy and vigorous they are. Adver- tising their genetic make- up to interested females. And to competitive males, which take one look at the size and shape and decide whether to confront this ri- val or slink away. Antlers do all that. I always figured female cervids had the tougher role, carrying, birthing and raising young, a year- long commitment. Hefting some of those weighty and unwieldy antlers, I started to appreciate how much of a challenge growing and transporting a new set ev- ery year would be. Holding them high through the rut, testosterone pumping, would be a real stressor, too. White-tailed deer mat- ing season is happening right now in southern On- tario, critical antler time. But on into December they'll be starting to shed, freeing up their owners of that heavy, awkward bur- den before the long, hun- gry winter takes its toll. Bucks and bulls that sur- vive into spring start grow- ing a new pair right away. Cartilage covered with blood-vessel-filled "velvet" grows at the tip, becoming longer and larger each year, the fastest growing of all mammal bones. By summer's end they harden and the velvet drops off, of- ten helped by the owner thrashing his antlers against a shrub or sapling. Caribou are the only cervids where females grow antlers, keeping them long after males shed theirs come winter. A de- fence against wolves, they also deter pushy, more powerful males from mov- ing in on a patch of land she's just spent time and ef- fort clearing of snow. Don't confuse antlers with horns. Bison, cattle, mountain goats and sheep make their headgear large- ly out of keratin, what our fingernails are made of, and keep them year-round.

OK, there are no medals. But the Pickering artist won the Silver Award in the spring in the Oshawa Art Association's annual juried art show. And on Nov. 1, Barker took the Lou Schnippering Award, the top prize in the PineRidge Arts Council's (PRAC) ju- ried art exhibition. Barker won the awards for Morning Wait. The wa- tercolour painting shows two figures waiting at a bus stop on Highway 2 one morning in the rain, looking at their mobile phones. Barker is known as one of the pre-eminent water- colour painters in the Dur- ham region and for her sparse style. "That's the philosophy of watercolour," she said at the show opening and re- ception. "Less is more. And that's the truth. You didn't do anything, but it's all there." When she was profiled in a 2010 column, Barker said she had made more than 7,000 paintings. Last week she said the number is now more than 10,000. It's amazing that she finds the time. Barker is busy five days a week dur- ing the school year, "just like a teacher," passing on her expertise to adult stu- dents. Charles Choi of Whitby won the Enbridge Pipe- lines Inc. Award for Hope. It's an oil painting, a por- trait of a Russian woman gazing, presumably at a window, as light pores onto her face. "It's a mom," Choi said, adding the painting is from a photo taken by a friend. "Her son is going to war or something like that." The light represents the hope she has that he will return, Choi said. He took a lot of informa- tion out of the photograph's background and empha- sized the light on the wom- an's face. Choi, a full-time artist, said he always works in oils and that Hope "took a long time" as he left it and re- turned to the work again and again. "You look at the painting again (after an absence) and you have different feel- ings," he explained. Choi just finished a solo show at Richmond Hill's Ocean Art Gallery and has exhibited at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. Marjatta Beasley took the Ontario Power Genera- tion Award for her A Day in January. An Oshawa resident and painter for more than 40 years, last month she won the third-place prize at the Visual Arts Centre of Cla- rington's juried art show. She joked that her subject matter is "all over the place." "I'm getting more into landscapes and realism," Beasley said. The other award win- ners are: Adult Category • Mayor's Award - Allan O'Marra (Ajax) • Rotary Club of Picker- ing Award - Carolyn Joore (Lakefield) • Veridian Connections Award - Robert Hinves (Pickering) • Durham West Arts Centre Award - Ruth Smith (Pickering) • Awards of Excellence - Laurie Waller Benson (Cannington), Stephanie Handy (Ajax), Ramona Marquez-Ramraj (Picker- ing). Youth Category • Optimist Club of Ajax Youth Award - Taylor Bar- ton (Whitby) • Mayor's Youth Award - Tanya Najib (Ajax) • Award of Excellence Youth - Abir Dabbour (Pickering) In his final comments at a PRAC show as mayor of Ajax, Steve Parish thanked the PRAC for all it has done in the community over many years. "You have added enor- mously to the art and cul- ture aspect of our commu- nity," he said. The show continues un- til Nov. 24 in the Atrium of the McLean Community Centre, 95 Magill Dr., Ajax. DURHAM -- Watercolour painter Hi-Sook Barker with her 'Morning Wait'.

Durham's orchestra starts its 2018/19 season with The Don Ross Anthol- ogy on Nov. 17 at Oshawa's Regent Theatre. Born in Montreal, Ross is the only person to twice win the prestigious Nation- al Finger Style Guitar Championship in the U.S. "Don Ross has been on my radar for decades, since attending one of his con- certs in Sonya, presented by Lynn McDonald," states Ontario Philharmonic (OP) executive director, Laura Vaillancourt. "We are delighted that Don ac- cepted our invitation for this benefit concert. Just in the last few weeks, and leading up to our Nov. 17 concert, Don will have trav- elled to the States, several European points and more, covering close to 20,000 ki- lometres." She notes that "the de- but of Don's compositions arranged for chamber or- chestra will be a rare treat," offering a glimpse at Ross the composer. "Not only am I perform- ing a program of all origi- nal music, but I also ar- ranged all the orchestra- tions, which will make up about half the show, with the other 50 per cent being solo performance," Ross states. "This is a very spe- cial experience, as I only rarely get to perform with orchestras, and this will be my first performance with a Canadian chamber or- chestra in many years, af- ter playing with a number of them in Germany." On Dec. 22 (8 p.m. con- cert) and 23 (3 p.m. con- cert), the OP presents On- tario Philharmonic Rocks the Holiday. It's a program comprised of "classical, op- eratic, rock and pop favou- rites" with music from Tchaikovsky's The Nut- cracker, plus Christmas fa- vourites such as Silent Night, White Christmas and O Holy Night. Music lovers can buy in- dividual concert tickets or a three or four-concert bundle of performances.

He was talking to Jack Donohue, an esteemed bas- ketball coach and head of the Canadian Coaching As- sociation. A young girl was practis- ing by herself shooting a volleyball at the basketball net. Jack tuned out of the conversation obviously watching the youngster. Af- ter she made a shot, he yelled in his deepest coach- ing voice and at a decibel level that long-term coach- es master (which is very loud): "Perfect." Then he started walking toward the athlete. "Take another shot," he asked. She did and again he proclaimed: "Per- fect." I was the young coach, and the young athlete was early for our practice and was simply practising her shot. Coach Donahue lectured me that her "arm action and release" were perfect and that I shouldn't let her spend too much time trying to shoot with a basketball because, to handle the addi- tional weight of the bigger ball, she would have to "shot put" it and would probably loose the perfect technique that came to her naturally. Jack taught me a lot about coaching and the les- son that has resulted in a lot of success is to praise "rou- tine" skills and tactics that often go unnoticed. It is per- haps the most import key in building strong teams and positive attitudes. Everyone notices the goal, the big save, but who praises the back checker who makes sure that the other team's third forward was covered? It happens all the time and the good coaches and great parent/ coaches make it habit to no- tice it and mention it on the ride home. There have been many advances made in "rightsiz- ing" sports for younger ath- letes. Soccer, tennis, basket- ball, cross-country running and many other have been doing it for a long time and now so is hockey. Smaller area games make it possible for more players to be in- volved in the play, to back check, to pass or intercept a pass, to try their new move and to learn to do all the lit- tle things that make a big difference. Oh, by the way, the eight- year-old girl was Tracey Ferguson, and she hap- pened to be shooting from a wheelchair and her perfec- tion allowed her to reach the top level of the podium at both world champion- ships and Paralympic Games. She was also named to two world all-star teams in the process. This February, you will get a chance to see a lot of athletes who are differently perfect at the Ontario ParaSport Games hosted in Durham. Joe Millage is a master course instructor with the OMHA, chair of ParaSport Ontario and an advocate for lifelong activity who believes that "everyone wins when everyone plays." Email: emtjoe@rogers.com THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE BIG DIFFERENCES OPINION COLUMNIST JOE MILLAGE ENCOURAGES COACHES TO GIVE PRAISE FOR ROUTINE SKILLS JOE MILLAGE Column AJAX - When Fiona Wright started thinking about earning a soccer scholarship to the United States as a Grade 9 student at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate, she certainly didn't envision filling the net as a freshman. The fact that she has done just that this season with the New Jersey Insti- tute of Technology (NJIT) Highlanders is a testament not only to her hard work and talent, but also to her versatility on the soccer pitch. Prior to heading south in the fall, Wright had spent most of her time playing a defensive role with her FC Durham Acad- emy teams, either as a cen- tre midfielder or centre de- fender. But when NJIT head coach Ally Nick saw her aggressive style and pow- erful kick, she tried Wright at striker, a move that has paid off in spades. Wright scored 11 of her team's 27 goals this season, seven more than her clos- est teammate, and was named the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN) fresh- man of the year and a first- team conference all-star. She also led the Highland- ers to a program-record 11 victories and the first post- season appearance since the school joined the Divi- sion 1 ranks in 2015. "It wasn't necessarily difficult because soccer is soccer," Wright said of changing positions. "Wherever I am on the field I'm comfortable enough. I found the thing that was more challenging rather than the position change was just adjusting to play- ing with new people. "When we first started, shots weren't really falling my way, but then once I got into the rhythm and more comfortable, it just all fell into place essentially." Wright and the team failed to score in the first two games of the season, but she notched the lone goal in the first win, a 1-0 decision over Iona Aug. 24. From there, she went on a tear, scoring 10 goals over the next 12 games - includ- ing three, two-goal perfor- mances in winning efforts -to finish second among Division 1 freshman scor- ers and tied for 25th in the nation. "We knew she was capa- ble of this; it would just come down to her putting it out there on a consistent basis," said Nick, who was named ASUN coach of the year. "I think that's why she had such a successful freshman year, is because she was able to do it throughout the whole sea- son, not just games here and there." Wright suffered a set- back in the recruiting pro- cess after tearing a liga- ment in her ankle in Grade 10 and missing some im- portant showcase tourna- ments. But her coach with FC Durham encouraged Nick to take a look at her the fol- lowing year, setting in mo- tion a process that ulti- mately led to Wright com- mitting to NJIT. "Instantly when I saw her, I thought she had so much potential and could fit into our conference and what we're trying to build," Nick explained. "She's on- ly going to get better. She definitely has the potential to be the conference player of the year and I think she has the potential to be playing after college as well." A talented athlete who essentially taught herself to play basketball as well - and led J. Clarke to a Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics championship her senior year - Wright said it was a difficult ad- justment being away from home at first, but the soc- cer and busy academic schedule have helped ease the transition. "It's a lot of work but it's manageable," said Wright, who is majoring in mathe- matics. "It was really hard at first, my first time being away from home, but I'm so busy now, I'm not really thinking about it as much. But I still miss home."

It took precisely 2:33 in- to his first game, in fact. Bollers, a 19-year-old Oshawa native, scored on his first shift three nights after being acquired in a trade with the Saginaw Spirit, redirecting a pass from Nick Wong past Peter- borough Petes goalie Hunt- er Jones for an early Gen- erals lead at the Memorial Centre Nov. 1. Although the night was spoiled somewhat by the Petes, who ended up domi- nating the game and win- ning 3-2 in overtime, Boll- ers still had a smile a mile wide on Nov. 4 when dis- cussing the trade that brought him home. It didn't hurt, of course, that the Generals had just skated to a 4-0 win over the Barrie Colts to improve their Ontario Hockey League record to 9-6-2-0. "I keep saying I'm speechless, but it's just a dream come true," Bollers said when asked about the trade, which saw a 12th round draft pick go the oth- er way. "Obviously as a kid growing up here and play- ing in the minor hockey as- sociation with the Gennies, and now playing in the OHL for them, it's unbe- lievable." Undrafted out of minor hockey, Bollers spent a sea- son playing with the Tra- verse City Hounds in the U.S. before signing as a free agent with the Spirit in 2016 and playing two years there. A five-foot-11-inch, 175- pound left winger, Bollers had eight goals and 10 as- sists in 56 games with the Spirit last season, but was victim of numbers this sea- son and - after attending training camp of the Lon- don Knights - went to the Aurora Tigers of the Onta- rio Junior Hockey League. He had been enjoying great success in the Jr. A league, with 27 points in 19 games for the division- leading Tigers, but leapt at the opportunity to join the Gens. "It's kind of bittersweet, but you can't really say no to an opportunity like this," he said Sunday. "We can be a great hockey team. We've just got to figure out our D zone, but other than that we're going to be great." Shy of forwards to begin with, the Generals were even more so the past three games, with the absence of Tyler Tullio and Dylan Robinson at the World Un- der-17 Hockey Challenge and Allan McShane in- jured. But the acquisition of Bollers is more than just a stopgap measure, head coach Greg Walters said. "He's definitely going to fit into our mix even when our guys come back," said Walters, who has been us- ing defencemen Matthieu Franche and Joseph Rupoli up front. "He knows the game extremely well. He's picked up our structure and our systems extremely well. He's got good speed, he plays with energy, he's very committed, and being a hometown kid, he's ex- tremely happy to be here and wants to do anything to make an impact."

Photo by Chris Tanouye DURHAM - Four local athletes will each bring something unique to the ta- ble when they compete at the 2018 Lifesaving World Championships in Ade- laide, Australia, from Nov. 16 to Dec. 2. Remarkably, Durham Region will account for one- third of Canada's junior team at the event, a biennial competition that will draw between 50 and 60 countries to the coastal city in South Australia. Janelle Gursoy and Mya Falcon, both of Ajax, will be among six female juniors taking part, while Brook- lin's Ethan Placek and Cla- rington's Jacob Miess will comprise the same percent- age on the boys' side. It will mark the fourth championship that has in- cluded a junior division for athletes aged 19 and under. Canada will also send 12 athletes to compete in the open division, as it has done since 2000. The junior team, accord- ing to national team coach Don Burton, is very com- petitive and could well land Canada on the podium for the first time. "We want to place in the top 12 overall, and in the ju- niors, we want to come home with some medals," said Burton, who trains each day with Gursoy, Fal- con, Placek and others out of the Toronto Pan Am Cen- tre. "This year we're defi- nitely focused on bringing home a bunch of medals." Known more commonly now as Rescue, the champi- onships date back to the first sanctioned event in Paris in 1955. Traditionally dominated by Australia and New Zealand, the championship consists of a variety of competitions to further develop and demon- strate life-saving skills, fit- ness and motivation - about half of which are conducted in a pool, and the other half in the ocean. Miess, a member of the Clarington Swim Club, has taken a semester away from school and has been train- ing for the past couple of months in Australia. "Jacob loves racing in the ocean," Burton said. "He loves to go out in seri- ously big waves that most Canadians would not even think about going out in. He's going to get his surf ski out there and he's going to race, and then he's going to ride the waves on the way in and enjoy every second of it." Gursoy, Falcon and Pla- cek did some training on the beaches of Lake Ontario throughout the summer but have been doing most of their work in the pool, where they are more profi- cient and will spend most of their time at the champion- ships. "Janelle loves to race," Burton said of Gursoy, a member of the Scarbor- ough Swim Club. "She loves to go out aggressively at the start of all the races, re- gardless of the distance. That's just part of her DNA. It doesn't really matter what the event is - she's go- ing to go for it. That's the kind of person she is." "Mya is one of the tough- est individuals I've ever met," he said of Falcon, an Etobicoke Swim Club mem- ber who has had surgery on both of her ankles in the past. "She's just a tenacious competitor. If you tell her you can't do it, she's going to prove you wrong. That's the kind of lady she is." Placek, a Whitby Dol- phins club member, is a master strategist, Burton added. "I'm sure he would be a great chess player because he really likes to analyze what the competition is like, what's their strengths and weaknesses, and then he'll figure out his plan of attack for whoever he's rac- ing." The athletes are attend- ing a 10-day camp in ad- vance of the champion- ships and will be in Austra- lia for three weeks.
