DURHAM - Jurors in the trial of a Pickering man charged with his wife's murder heard Wednesday from the woman he was having an affair with when the killing occurred. Speaking via video link from Florida, Jill Hartman testified David Knight told her he was divorced when they met in a St. Peters- burg bar in 2012. Knight visited Florida regularly and they were still seeing each other when his wife, Carmela Knight, was mur- dered in 2014. "I would consider it boy- friend and girlfriend, but I don't know how serious," Hartman said of the rela- tionship. "He lived there (Canada), and I lived here." Court has heard that Carmela had learned of the affair and informed David in June of 2014 that she was seeking a divorce. Carme- la, 39, died three days be- fore a scheduled family court hearing at which she was seeking spousal sup- port and custody of their children, court heard. Firefighters responding to a raging blaze in the ga- rage at Knight's Pebbles- tone Crescent home on the night of Sept. 15, 2014, found Carmela's body. An autop- sy revealed she had died of neck compression and had suffered blunt force facial trauma before her death. The Crown contends David Knight, 46, recruited another man to kill Carme- la. Knight has pleaded not guilty to first degree mur- der, conspiracy to commit murder, and arson. Testifying Nov. 14 from a courthouse in Pinellas County, Florida, Hartman said Knight was intent on setting up a business in Florida and moving there with his sons and had in- vestigated purchasing at least two construction firms in the state. Court has heard from two Canadian business partners of Knight's who joined him in making a bid on one Florida company. The partners backed out after determining the com- pany was overpriced, ju- rors heard. Also testifying Wednes- day from Florida was the owner of a company that handled rentals on behalf of David and Carmela at their house in the commu- nity of Indian Rocks. Paul Vonfeldt said that in 2014 David Knight informed the company that he had sole ownership of the house and that any rental proceeds ought to go to him. Knight insisted Carmela was not to be included in communi- cations about the house, court heard. A title search revealed that David Knight was list- ed as the sole owner of the property, Vonfeldt testi- fied. "I did get come commu- nication from Carmela that it was the opposite - she was saying they were all lies," Vonfeldt said. Court has heard that Da- vid and Carmela Knight and Carmela's mother, Franca Agosta, bought the Florida house together in 2011. But when the deed was registered Carmela's and Agosta's names were crossed out, leaving David as the sole person on title, Agosta testified. David Knight failed to have the document correc- ted and eventually trans- ferred title of the house to his brother, jurors have heard. The trial continues in Oshawa. FLORIDA GIRLFRIEND TESTIFIES AT TRIAL OF PICKERING MAN ACCUSED OF WIFE'S MURDER JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durham region.com NEWS Two men have been charged with murder in the death of a Pickering women whose body was found in the remains of a house fire last fall. Police said Carmela Knight, 39, was found with "obvious signs of trauma" after firefighters responded to a report of a garage fire on Pebblestone Crescent in Pickering on Sept. 15, 2014.

"Our message is simple: Plan ahead this holiday season and do not put your- self in a position of risk," Durham police Chief Paul Martin said Thursday dur- ing a ceremony to mark the start of this year's cam- paign. "This behaviour is not welcome in Durham Re- gion," Martin said. "You will be caught." The chief hailed his RIDE team as leaders in the fight against drunk driv- ing, noting that, on aver- age, about 10,000 drivers will be stopped during the course of the Festive RIDE effort. Durham police con- sistently rack up impaired- driving arrests - averaging more than 100 each year - and annually issue dozens of three-day licence sus- pensions to motorists who blow warning levels on roadside blood-alcohol screening devices. Last year was no excep- tion. The 2017 campaign, which began in mid-No- vember and concluded fol- lowing New Year's Day, saw the Durham team conduct almost 12,600 stops, making 624 demands for roadside breath samples and charg- ing 112 motorists with im- paired driving. Another 98 drivers had their licences suspended for three days after registering a warning reading on screening devic- es. Those numbers were fairly consistent with the past five years of Festive RIDE stats. In the four years preceding the 2017 ef- fort, Durham saw 99, 118, 98 and 107 impaired driving charges laid. Durham employs an ag- gressive approach to drunk-driving enforce- ment, using data and intel- ligence-based decision- making to determine where to set up checkpoints each night. The team is also highly mobile, sometimes establishing checkpoints at multiple locations on any given night. The result has been a consistently high rate of ar- rests during the holiday season, Martin said during the kickoff, held at the Whitby Fire Department's headquarters on McKin- ney Drive. Each arrest, the chief noted, marks the re- moval of a potentially dan- gerous driver from the ar- ea's roads. "Imagine if we didn't have a RIDE campaign ev- ery year," he said. The chief's sentiment was echoed by other speak- ers during Thursday's cere- mony, none more poignant- ly than Michelle Crabb, whose brother Taylor was killed in an accident involv- ing a drunk driver in 2007. "Eleven years later, I can't say his name without crying," said Crabb, who is affiliated with Durham Re- gion's Mothers Against Drunk Driving chapter. "This is my life. This is what I go through on a daily basis. My life is a jail sentence." Crabb saluted the offi- cers who will, for the next seven weeks, head out into the cold early winter nights to staff the RIDE campaign. "It matters, what you are doing," she said. "It matters because you are saving lives." Motorists charged with impaired driving face imme- diate vehicle impoundment and licence suspension, and that's even before a charge reaches the courts. During Thursday's kickoff, Martin said those slapped with an impaired driving charge can expect about $10,000 in ex- penses. Plus, Durham police publish the names of all drivers busted for impaired driving, the chief noted. Durham's Festive RIDE team will be out each night from now until the new year.

Pickering 365-300-5700 DURHAM - The Durham Dis- trict School Board has set out a tentative timeline for its 2019/2020 budget process. The board's education finance committee will have closed door meetings on the budget between February and April. The draft budget is slated to be presented at a public meeting planned for May 22 and public deputations will be heard May 29. Budget considerations and recommendations will be dis- cussed at a public meeting on June 5, as well as June 12 if neces- sary. Trustees will then vote on the budget at the last board meeting of the school year on June. 17. Dates may change depending on when the Ministry of Educa- tion releases information and re- sources to school boards. NEWS DDSB SETS OUT TIMELINE FOR BUDGET PROCESS Visit us online at durhamregion.com There can be no doubt we are going through a period of rapid change and transformation. We see the results of the pres- sures of dislocation and change all around us. Pressure on food banks, shelters, children's and mental health programs, coun- selling and many areas of the so- cial services. Poverty and its impacts, hun- ger, homelessness and econom- ic pressures all have an emo- tional, physical, and economic toll. It is our belief you build stronger and more resilient communities by helping those affected. It is more than being charitable: Helping people is an economic imperative in the 21st century. Fighting poverty and its im- pacts, helping kids be all they can be and helping build a healthier community are at the core of the United Way mission. And Giving Where You Live is the spark which ignites the flame of community capacity. Local communities, locally empowered, locally led, ade- quately resourced are best able to solve many of the problems which impact those least advan- taged. From food banks and nu- tritional support, to counsel- ling, to housing insecurity, to programs which assist youth or seniors (and a great deal more), the best way to solve seemingly intractable global problems is to act at the local level. As we launch our effort to re- mind people who live in Dur- ham, but work outside of the re- gion, that they can direct their United Way contribution to sup- port their Durham friends, fam- ilies or neighbours it is impor- tant to point out our priority is building local capacity. In Durham Region we believe the United Way is about a great deal more than providing nutri- tional or housing security, it is a great deal more than the imme- diacy of relief which may not be sustainable or impactful, it is about providing possibility for those facing seemingly impossi- ble futures. "Together we are possibility" is more than a slogan for us. It reflects what we do. We owe our donors nothing less than the as- surance that their dollars are creating lasting and impactful change. Giving Where You Live brings good intention to reality for many tens of thousands in Durham Region.

PICKERING - A Pickering man faces several gun-related charges after an imitation firearm was pointed at another person Sunday night. The incident began just before 10 p.m. on Nov. 18, when a 19-year- old man said another man almost backed into the victim's car in the parking lot at the Harp & Crown bar on Kingston Road in Picker- ing, Durham regional police re- port. The victim drove away, but the accused followed him and caught up to him on Kingston Road near Whites Road. The victim said the accused pointed what looked like a real handgun. The accused con- tinued to follow the victim to the Pickering Town Centre, where the victim was able to lose him. Officers caught up with the ac- cused at his house and found an air-soft pistol on the passenger seat of his vehicle. The pistol looked like a real Glock handgun. Keith Pierson, 26, of Pine Heights Trail in Pickering has been charged with possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace, pointing a firearm, assault with a weapon and exceeding .08. He was later released on a promise to appear. CRIME PICKERING MAN CHARGED AFTER MOTORIST POINTS HANDGUN Don’t be a LitterBug!

Go ahead - see if their 90-year-old root in Oshawa can withstand your hot air. Have you ever met some- one in their 90s - got a par- ent or grandparent that age? They may not know all that we think we know, but just try moving them. There seems to be a theme around these bright ideas that have risen like a blemish in our nation. First, those who don't even identify with Canada want to erase the very existence of the forefathers of this land - take down their stat- ues and remove their names for whatever indis- cretions we've deemed them to be guilty of. Now there's a campaign to threaten the institutions that helped build our com- munity. Calvary Baptist Church has been in Oshawa since 1928, and I suspect there's a reason why. They have a legacy of doing good here. If they didn't, they could nev- er last this long. Now former Calvary Baptist Church attendee and 2014 regional council candidate for Oshawa, Mac Moreau is leading the charge for the Canada Rev- enue Agency (CRA) review, saying "Charities that allow their resources to be used for activities that promotefor activities that promotef hate and intolerance shouldn't receive benefits from the Canadian govern-from the Canadian govern-f ment - benefits that all Ca- nadians contribute to." What activities has Cal- vary Baptist Church been involved in that promotes hate and intolerance? They told someone who wasn't in compliance with the re- quirements of membership the area in question and what it would take to be re- stored. Period. That's free- dom of association. What one calls the promotion of hate and intolerance seems like the projection of the same to me. Anyone can take offence with their deci- sion, but pulling the chari- table status card only re- veals your own agenda - to have one group's rights trump another's. But if their charitable status was revoked would that even be enough? I mean what's the aim here - to draw blood, to make the church pay for having val- ues that differ from an indi- vidual or to have other churches or faith groups hauled before the CRA too? According to the Canadi- an Charter of Rights and Freedoms, both the mem- bers of Calvary Baptist Church and the woman in question share the same rights and freedoms, so again go ahead. But as old as Calvary Baptist Church is, I suspect it'll outlive you. Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is passionate about truth in current affairs.

Then out on a walk, I spot- ted a photographer tucked in evergreens at the edge of a creek valley, long lens pointed up through the branches. In a whispered conversation he said he was watching a saw-whet owl devouring a meadow vole. But it was only when my husband suggested I write about the influx of owls and other northern- ers that the penny dropped and I finally grasped the great dynamic going on. Last year lots of cones and seeds were produced throughout Ontario for- ests, a feast for mice, voles, chipmunks and red squir- rels, various-sized animals that different sized owls feed on. With their prey species happily reproduc- ing at a rapid rate, owls and other predators likely raised large, healthy fami- lies of their own. But this year hardly any tree seeds were produced - the forests' way of keeping seed-eaters in check. Den- nis and I saw very few cones on conifers lining roads north of Sudbury while en route to our canoe trip in September. This re- sults in hunger in the ani- mal world, and owls having to leave their woodland home, searching for food. Most saw-whets come south anyway, cute, tiny owls with rufous streaks on their tummies. But more than usual may be tucked away in thick ever- greens in Durham by day, and searching for mice by night. Barred owls are about the same size as our local great horned owls, but lack the signature ear tufts of the top predator, which wouldn't hesitate to dine on other owls entering its domain. Snowy owls of the Arc- tic aren't affected by whims of any forest, of course. They prey primarily on lemmings, which feed on slow-growing mosses in the open tundra. When ris- ing lemming populations eat all the moss in their neighbourhood, they move elsewhere, leaving snowy owls no choice but to move in turn. There's already been a snowy owl reported in the GTA, so maybe we'll have an influx of them here in Durham this winter. If you see an owl, please stay well away, and if you're taking pictures, don't use flash. Nature queries: mcar- ney@interlinks.net or 905- 725-2116.

DURHAM - If you look closely, there's something a little different about the parking lots at the Universi- ty of Ontario Institute of Technology. This fall, more than 60 accessible parking spaces were repainted to feature the new Dynamic Symbol of Access. Instead of the familiar blue and white symbol that shows a person sitting sta- tionary in a wheelchair - known as the International Symbol of Access - the dy- namic symbol depicts a per- son in a wheelchair, but in motion. Dr. Meghann Lloyd, an associate professor of kine- siology with the faculty of health sciences at UOIT, helped push for the change. A lot of her work and re- search focuses on children with disabilities. Lloyd - who is also a re- search associate with Grandview Children's Cen- tre - says symbols matter. "This symbol puts the person before the chair, and it shows them in a more ac- tive as opposed to passive position," she explains. In recent years, there has been a grassroots effort by a group called the Forward Movement to see the dy- namic symbol adopted by municipalities and organi- zations across Canada and the United States. About 10 municipalities in Canada are on board so far, including the Township of Uxbridge, which adopted the new symbol in April 2018. In Durham, the dynamic symbol is also being used by Grandview Children's Cen- tre and the Abilities Centre. According to the For- ward Movement, the motion depicted in the new version is "a symbolic action that emphasizes differing abili- ties, and this reframes the way society views and inter- acts with persons with a dis- ability." The International Sym- bol of Access is legally re- quired in certain situations. The Forward Movement is lobbying the provincial government to change legis- lation to permit the new dy- namic symbol as an alterna- tive, or to mandate the dy- namic symbol for all future use. Dylan Itzikowitz, co- founder of the Forward Movement, said he is "de- lighted" that UOIT has adopted the dynamic sym- bol in its parking lots. "Meantime, we continue to work with other private organizations to make the shift and lobby to have pro- vincial legislation amended to not only phase in the new logo, but also have it man- dated for all future use in building codes, accessible vehicles, parking spaces and school buses," says Itzi- kowitz, who was struck by a car in 2016 and temporarily relied on a wheelchair for mobility. Lloyd says she "al- most jumped for joy" when she saw the UOIT parking spaces repainted this fall, about two years after she first suggested the change. She says the next step is for the dynamic symbol to be used in new UOIT build- ings, where possible. "There are still a lot of misconceptions. Some peo- ple might think, 'What's the big deal?'" Lloyd says. "His- torically, people with disa- bilities have been consid- ered unable or incapable. We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. This change helps keep the conversation mov- ing forward."

"I'm finding that other re- gions are still going on with it so now I have to drive like an hour out to Cobourg, Port Hope, (or I) may have to go to Toronto," he added. The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's Universal Influenza Immuniza- tion Program (UIIP) for the 2018/2019 influenza season kicked off Oct. 22. The UIIP of- fers protection against the influ- enza virus - which can cause se- rious and contagious respirato- ry illness - free of charge to all individuals six months of age and older who live, work or at- tend school in the province. As in previous years, high priority groups should be im- munized first followed by the general public, according to the ministry. High priority groups include people at increased risk of influenza-related complica- tions or those who are more likely to require hospitaliza- tion, such as those over the age of 65 and pregnant women, as well as individuals capable of transmitting influenza to those at high risk, for example health care workers. In Durham, the flu vaccine is offered through local health care providers, including family doctors, nurse practitioners and walk-in clinics. Pharmacies are also able to provide the vaccine to residents over the age of five. Due to the increased avail- ability of the vaccine as a result of the UIIP, as of the 2017/2018 flu season, the region's health department provides services to families of young children, under the age of five, who do not have access to a health care provider or do not have OHIP coverage. "There are over 300 locations offering the flu vaccine across the region," said Sarah Alley, assistant manager of the Re- gion of Durham's immuniza- tion program. "Given the increased acces- sibility of the flu vaccine ... we have changed our focus now and we look to provide services to underserviced and priority pop- ulations according to identified needs." The region started imple- menting priority population clinics in the 2014/2015 flu sea- son. "We saw that with the clinics we were providing at that time, there wasn't a lot of uptake be- cause people were getting the vaccines elsewhere, at places that were more convenient and conducive to their own life- styles," she explained. "So we then took a step back and focused (on) the groups that don't have the luxuries and are unable to access (the vaccine) because of certain social deter- minants or barriers that they have." The region's 2017 Perfor- mance Report indicates that be- tween October and December of last year, 179 doses of influenza vaccine were administered at 14 high risk priority clinics and 104,760 doses were distributed to health care providers (not in- cluding pharmacists). "Right now, our priority groups are individuals that don't have OHIP coverage, so that will include possibly new- comers and some refugee groups that don't have coverage, and also we're looking at chil- dren under five because with the (UIIP), pharmacists can't give to children under the age of five," said Alley. In Durham for the 2017/18 flu season, there were 455 lab-con- firmed cases. That number does not reflect individuals with mild symptoms who did not visit their health care provider or get tested. This year's vaccine protects against four strains of the virus, according to a release sent out by the region in October encour- aging members of the public to roll up their sleeves. Alley said she recommends ev- eryone who is eligible get the flu shot to en- sure they are protect- ed. "With the flu, it's so different from the common cold, and the symptoms - muscle aches, chills, loss of appetite, sore throat, fever, headache - it im- pacts everyone be- cause of the longevity of it," she said. "It can last between six to 10 days (for) healthy indi- viduals so when you think of the elderly population or seniors, those over 65 and those who suf- fer from chronic health condi- tions, it could be even worse." Individuals who get sick with the flu can experience serious complications including pneu- monia, dehydration, ear infec- tions and, in some rare cases, death. Research shows the flu is responsible for about 12,000 hos- pitalizations and 3,500 deaths in Canada every year. Alley added that it's not only important for people to get the shot for their protection but also for those around them, includ- ing the most vulnerable mem- bers of the community. Residents and families with children who are under the age of five, who have no OHIP cover- age or no access to a health care provider can call the Durham Health Connection Line at 905- 666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729. "We would provide them with an opportunity to get the vac- cine through us or if they are calling and they do have OHIP, then we would be able to provide them with information of where they can get the vaccine," said Alley. "Whether it's a pharmacist or a health-care provider or a walk-in clinic, we would help them find the best way and con- nect them to the resource that they need." Those opting to get the flu shot at a pharmacy must bring their health card with them and sign a consent form. They will also be asked to wait 15 minutes after receiving the shot before leaving the premises. Appoint- ments are not necessary but some sites are offering them to provide increased convenience for families, people with young children and those who are squeamish around needles.

NEWS FLU VACCINES NOW AVAILABLE FOR RESIDENTS WITHOUT OHIP COVERAGE Continued from page 3 STORY BEHIND THE STORY: Reporter Parvaneh Pessian got her flu shot in the pharmacy at the Sobeys in Oshawa last week. She didn't have an appointment and there was no wait. The process took less than five minutes and besides a little arm soreness, she didn't have any side effects. News Editor Ian McMillan learned of Parvaneh's experience and went to the same spot to get his flu shot. About 250 people have been vaccinated at that location so far this season, according to staff, which is on par with last year. THE ISSUE: MORE LOCATIONS OFFERING FLU SHOT ACROSS ONTARIO. LOCAL IMPACT: DURHAM HEALTH DEPARTMENT SHIFTS FOCUS TO UNDERSERVICED AND PRIORITY POPULATIONS. It's that time of year again - the time when sniffles, coughs and fevers sometimes cause us and our loved ones many sleep- less nights or days off work or school. I know you've heard the reasons you should get the flu shot. This is just the annual friend- ly reminder from a local infec- tious diseases expert. In my job at Lakeridge Health, I see firsthand how influenza or "the flu," can make people very sick, leading to a long hospital stay and even death. When you think about it that way, the amount of attention paid to pre- venting flu each year makes a lot of sense. The flu leads to more than 12,000 hospital stays in On- tario. With the simple act of get- ting a flu shot, each of us can help prevent the spread of influenza - keeping you, your loved ones, older seniors and the very young, safe. The vaccine is an effective method for reducing the spread of the flu. It truly is our best de- fence. Here's why I roll up my sleeve every year: •The flu shot is proven to re- duce illness, the number of hos- pital stays and deaths. •Study after study shows it's safe for people six months of age and older. •The flu shot is free and avail- able at your physician's office, lo- cal clinics, public health unit and pharmacies. •Children and youth between two and 17 years old can get the flu vaccine as a shot or nasal spray. Talk to your doctor or nurse practitioner about which option is best for your child. Here are other ways that can help keep influenza at bay: wash your hands regularly, and sneeze or cough into a tissue or your sleeve. And, of course, we should all stay home when we are sick! It's clear that the benefits out- weigh the risks. Though the ef- fectiveness of the flu shot can vary from year to year, it offers about 60 per cent protection when the vaccine is well- matched. And most people have no side-effects from the flu shot. Severe reactions are very rare. By getting the flu shot annu- ally, your body's immune system is better protected. This means you are helping to protect people who are at risk of complications from the flu, such as people over the age of 65, babies and those who have conditions that weak- en their immune systems, such as cancer. Also, more evidence is showing that the flu shot can protect against heart attack and stroke. It's my job to keep as many people safe and healthy as possi- ble. The flu shot is also part of my personal ritual, not only to help myself, but also as a father of three young children and the son of seniors. I do it to protect my loved ones. What's your reason?

Melanie St. Louis sobbed and wiped away tears when it was an- nounced she would be re- leased following a lengthy bail hearing Tuesday in Oshawa. St. Louis, 42, of Kingston Road East in Ajax, is charged with im- paired driving causing death and exceeding the le- gal blood alcohol limit in relation to a crash around 3 a.m. Nov. 19 that killed Richard Lindsey, 50, of Oshawa. Lindsey was travelling eastbound from a Hwy. 401 offramp at Salem Road when his blue Chevrolet Equinox was struck by St. Louis's southbound BMW SUV, according to Durham police. Lindsey was pro- nounced dead at hospital. St. Louis was also treated at hospital, and later in the day Monday made a brief appearance in an Oshawa bail court. She was back in court Tuesday for a full bail hearing. As she entered the room St. Louis, who has visible face injuries and a limp, groaned and grimaced as she settled in- to a prisoner's dock. She was released on bail with her husband acting as surety. Her conditions of release include that she live with her surety, ob- serve a night-time curfew, and abstain from alcohol and illegal drugs. A publication ban pro- hibits reporting on evi- dence presented at the bail hearing and reasons for the decision to release St. Louis. Hours before the fatal crash Lindsey, an employ- ee with a private security company, had assisted Durham officers in a sepa- rate incident by identify- ing a suspected drunk driver, which led to im- paired charges laid against that driver, police said Monday. In a post on its Face- book page Paragon Securi- ty, Lindsey's employer, said he was a valued col- league who will be missed. "Rick was not with Par- agon for a long time, but it felt like he was. He was the perfect fit for Paragon and brought years of experi- ence to our mobile team,” the post read. In addition to the crimi- nal charges, St. Louis faces several Highway Traffic Act charges related to her status as a novice driver. She's due back in court Dec. 13.

CRIME POLICE SEEK WITNESSES AFTER SHOTS FIRED DURHAM - An investi- gation by the Durham po- lice human trafficking unit has resulted in the arrest of a man accused of sexually assaulting a sex worker at gunpoint. The woman met a man in Scarborough in mid- September and when she requested payment he pulled out a handgun, then sexually assaulted her a number of times, police said. The woman called po- lice after the man dropped her off in Ajax. An investigation by Durham's human traffick- ing unit led to the identifi- cation of a suspect. A man was arrested with the as- sistance of Toronto police Nov. 1. Facing charges includ- ing sexual assault with a weapon, three counts of sexual assault with a weap- on, forcible confinement and weapons offences is Michael Downey, 38, of Lawrence Avenue East, To- ronto.

SHOP THEBAY.COM DURHAM - The Durham Dis- trict School Board is working on a policy for French instruction, which trustees will vote on in Jan- uary. The proposed policy was pre- sented as a notice of motion at the board's Nov. 19 meeting. It outlines the core French and French immersion programs of- fered by the DDSB, and lays out how many hours of French in- struction are required. For example, students in grades 4 to 8 learning core French must accumulate 120 hours of French instruction per year for a total of 600 hours by the end of Grade 8, while high school stu- dents need art least one credit in French to graduate. In French immersion, French is the primary language of in- struction from grades 1 to 3, while English instruction is introduced in Grade 4 and represents 50 per cent of instruction for grades 4 to 8. By the end of Grade 8, French immersion students must have re- ceived 3,800 hours of French lan- guage instruction.

EVENTS WEEKENDEVENTS SIGN UP FOR OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER AT DURHAMREGION.COM 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 2 2 , 2 0 1 8 | 24 ARTS Visit durhamregion.com for more coverage DURHAM - Asked if there's a theme on This Wilderness, Cheryl Ireland briefly thinks about it. "Yes and no," she re- plies. "I think the main thing I was looking at was an ex- tended look at love. It's a love album; it's a rock al- bum." A new remastered ver- sion of the five-song EP, re- leased earlier this year, is available on all of the major music streaming plat- forms. It's Ireland's first with her new recording and touring band, the Autumn Smoke. The record shows Ire- land's various musical in- fluences, from the folk- tinged Wilderness to Ocean, the heaviest rocker. Ireland, who was born in Newmarket and grew up in Pickering, started play- ing guitar in high school. She first performed with bands and then, just before turning 30, as a solo artist. Ireland spent the early part of this year looking for a band with whom she could tour and record, mu- sicians who were "on the same page musically" as her. She found them in per- cussionist Chris Dove and guitarist and mandolin player Ken Kucharic from the band the Winter Vault. She is also a member of the Wild Nellies, a female arts collective that in- cludes co-founders Gwen Tuinman, a Whitby writer, and musician Cheryl Cas- selman from Castleton in Northumberland County. Ireland says her new band plans to start touring the country next year and future music will likely be "a little bit harder." "I'd love to be doing more festivals," Ireland says of her plans. You can see Cheryl Ire- land and the Autumn Smoke on Nov. 23 at the Music Hall, 39 King St. E., Oshawa, when the band opens for Suzie McNeil. Tickets are $20, avail- able at www.show- pass.com/suziemcneil or at Long and McQuade in Oshawa. And the Emerson Ire- land Band presents its Hol- iday Hope Rockfest Toy Drive on Dec. 8 at the Gen- eral Pub, 21 Celina St., Osh- awa. Ireland leaves her gui- tar at home and plays drums and sings in her husband's band. The cou- ple met at Long and McQuade, where they both work. "It's amazing," she says of playing music with her partner. "We both kind of eat, sleep and breathe music." Ireland credits him for "having a lot of faith in me and inspiring me." See the duo, as The Ire- lands, performing covers and originals on Nov. 24 at the Waterfront, 590 Liver- pool Rd., Pickering. You can also see them on Dec. 22 at the Copperworks Brew Pub and Restaurant, 7 Division St., Bowman- ville. Visit her online at www.cherylireland.com and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/CIre- landMusic.

THINGS TO DO DURHAM - She didn't pick up a Joey Award, but Kiera Scharf has time on her side. The Pickering actor, 11, was nominated for two Jo- eys, which are like the Academy Awards for young Canadian actors. The 2018 gala was held in Vancouver on Nov. 10. Kiera was nominated for Best Actress in a Web Series Six to 12 Years (Toy Academy - Walmart Cana- da) and Best Actress in a Commercial 10 Years (HP Sprocket). "It was pretty cool to hear her name read out as a nomination and see it on the screen in the back- ground," father Jon Scharf said in an email, noting they streamed the event through Facebook. WHAT’S ON 'PRETTY COOL' TO HEAR YOUNG PICKERING ACTOR'S NAME AT AWARDS SHOW, SAYS DAD 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 2 2 , 2 0 1 8 | 26 OSHAWA - It was fit- ting that Daniel Cooper pounded home the final try for the Durham Col- lege men's rugby team, capping off a remarkable first season for the Lords in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association with a championship. Cooper, a stocky 5- feet-10-inch prop from Ux- bridge, was the Ontario Colleges Athletic Associa- tion (OCAA) leader in that category during the regu- lar season, scoring 12 tries in six games to earn an all- star nod and lead the team to a 5-1 record after drop- ping its first game. After avenging that loss - a 41-29 decision to St. Lawrence back in Septem- ber - with a 38-17 win over the Vikings in the semifi- nals, the Lords added their name to the OCAA plaque with a tense 21-15 victory over the Georgian Grizzlies before a large and vocal crowd at the Civic Recreation Complex Sat. Nov. 17. Cooper helped rescue a game that had slipped away, scoring the go- ahead try with about four minutes remaining after the Lords jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first half. "As soon as the ball touched my hand, I was pretty nervous that I was going to drop it, so when I put it down it felt pretty cool, and then having the whole stands go crazy was awesome," he recalled. "We had a plan at the be- ginning of the year, we met as a group, a gold was all we wanted, nothing else, so we set out to achieve that and showed Saturday that we did it." Although new to the OCAA, there was plenty of experience on the Lords team, which played an ex- hibition schedule in 2017 and boasted a core group who have played for years with the Oshawa Vikings club program. Cooper, who won an Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associa- tions (OFSAA) champion- ship with Uxbridge Sec- ondary School in 2016, said it was key having a coach like John Watkins, president and long-time coach with the Vikings. "Having Johnny bring our program from the Vi- kings to Durham and just being able to pull right in- to a system like that ... it was just so easy to buy right in," he explained. In his second year of sports management stud- ies at the college, Cooper said he will be back looking for more next year and perhaps take some business courses the fol- lowing year to keep build- ing on the rugby pro- gram's solid foundation. "It's awesome seeing the work ethic of all the guys and playing on a team where everyone wants to be here and buy in at the same level," he said. "It doesn't matter what their role is on the team, everybody wants to be there every day, so there's no reason for me not to stick around as long as I can." The Lords' 33-player roster is very much made up of local talent, with on- ly two players not hailing from Durham Region. James Stockwood of Bowmanville and John Stewart of Whitby also scored tries in the champi- onship game, with Stew- art earning player of the game honours for Dur- ham. Stewart was also named and OCAA East all- star, along with Cooper, Malcolm Hooper of Or- angeville, Ty Jacob of Oshawa and Taylor Dallas of Port Perry. "At the beginning of the season we didn't know what to expect but we had a good group of guys and we just worked really hard all season," Watkins said in a press release. "It's on- ly year one but this really bodes well for rugby at Durham College." DURHAM COLLEGE CAPTURES RUGBY TITLE IN OCAA DEBUT BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durham region.com SPORTS DANIEL COOPER SCORES WINNING TRY AT OSHAWA CIVIC FIELD Durham Lords' Daniel Cooper, an Uxbridge native, chased a loose ball against the Georgian Grizzlies during the OCAA rugby championship game at the Oshawa Civic Recreation Complex Nov. 17. Cooper scored the winning try as the Lords edged out the Grizzlies 21-15. Ryan Pfeiffer/Metroland The score, indeed, does matter - otherwise we wouldn't turn on the score- board. Kids can learn some very important life lessons by keeping the score, and I do believe that it is very im- portant to have winners and, yes, wait for it ... LOS- ERS! This is life. It is both good and nec- essary to learn how to set goals, set out a plan of ac- tion and ultimately put yourself (your team) to the test. Sometimes we get re- warded, and other times we will be disappointed. However, if you use only the final score as the ulti- mate metric for success in kids sports, then I will guarantee you a whole life- time of misery. So, rather than com- plaining about the refer- ees, the unfairness of the opponents' superior facili- ties and equipment, their ability to circumvent the residency rules or how they have better supple- ments - blah, blah, blah - learn to look in the mirror and say, "Wow, our guys were awesome and did a great job of executing that new offence we just imple- mented," or "Man, the kids really got stuck in for 60 minutes today," or just maybe you have to say, "Boy, do I suck as a coach and I really need to do a much better job of teaching skills, tactics or execu- tion." And most important of all, somebody needs to teach the kids, the coaches and the parents to say, "We played our butts off today. There was nothing more we could have done, and I am so proud of them all - the other guys were just BETTER!" I am reminded of this quote by William Bruce Cameron: "Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts." In The Score Takes Care of Itself, Bill Walsh said that "if you establish a cul- ture higher than that of your opposition, you would win. So rather than obsess- ing about results, you focus on the team ... you get no- where without character. Character is essential to in- dividuals and their cumu- lative character is the backbone of your winning team." Coach John Wooden used to spend, reportedly, one to two hours at the start of every season teach- ing his players how to prop- erly put on their shoes and socks. The lesson wasn't just about blisters and lost playing time; rather, it was about a daily attention to detail, about doing the lit- tle things right and it was about humility. And as the great Vince Lombardi said, "Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence." So, focus on building a culture of everyday excel- lence with a relentless pur- suit of perfection and, in- deed, "the score will take care of itself." Till next time, remem- ber, "You can't fake strong!"

The Lightning beat the Canadettes 4-1, but then dropped a 3-1 decision to the rival Whitby Wolves Tuesday. The Lightning (8-4-3-1) are in Oakville (6-6-4-1) Saturday and back home against Stoney Creek (12-3-1-0) Sunday at 2:40 p.m. Ryan Pfeiffer/Metroland LIGHTNING STILES SCORES IN STYLE FOR PANTHERS Kevin Stiles scored an unassisted goal midway through the third period to lift the Pickering Panthers past the Markham Royals 3-2 on Friday, Nov. 16 at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The Panthers, who dropped to 8-15-0-1 with a 3-0 loss in Georgetown the next night, are on the road for the next seven games in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. Photo by Shawn Muir/OJHL Images PANTHERS OSHAWA - Matt Bras- sard's overtime goal lifted the Oshawa Generals past the Niagara IceDogs 4-3 Sunday, Nov. 18 and into a three-way tie for third place in the Ontario Hock- ey League's Eastern Con- ference standings. The win, before a crowd of 4,410 at the Tribute Com- munities Centre, was the third in row for the Gener- als, who also took a pair of road games last week, 5-2 in Windsor Thursday and 7-4 in Sarnia Friday. The Generals (13-7-2-0) left the weekend tied with the IceDogs (12-6-4-0) and Sudbury Wolves (13-7-1-1) in the conference, but still 13 points back of the Otta- wa 67's (19-3-3-0) in the East Division. The Mississauga Steelheads (14-6-2-0) led the Central Division and owned the second seed in the conference. Brassard skated into a nice pass from Serron Noel and buried a shot past Ice- Dogs goalie Stephen Dhil- lon with 1:02 remaining in the five-minute overtime to salvage a game in which the Generals had led 3-1 late in the second period. It was the second goal of the game and fifth of the sea- son for Brassard, an over- age defenceman who missed the first four games recovering from off-season surgery. Kyle Keyser made two saves in the overtime, in- cluding a beauty cross- crease stop on Liam Ham, and 39 all told in the game to improve his season re- cord to 10-3-1-0 with a 2.57 goals-against average and .925 save percentage. "We feel very comfort- able that we can roll four lines now with the depth, and our six D, there's not many better in the league than our six, and then Keyser is playing unbeliev- able hockey for us right now, so we feel very com- fortable with our game," coach Greg Walters said af- ter the game. "We still have to tighten up, we're giving up too many shots, but we'll get to that for sure." The IceDogs tied the game on a power-play goal by Ben Jones 7:19 into the third period, but then failed to score on two late extra-man advantages. The Generals had the only power play of over- time and nearly won it on beautiful passing play, but Dhillon made a miracu- lous save on Allan McShane. McShane did have a power-play tally in the game, his sixth goal of the season, while defenceman Giovanni Vallati also scored with the man ad- vantage, where the Gener- als were three-for-six in the game. Oliver Castleman and Philip Tomasino also scored for the IceDogs, who were without leading scorer Akil Thomas and went two-for-eight on the power play. The IceDogs swung a blockbuster trade Tues- day, acquiring Jason Rob- ertson - the league's second leading goal scorer with 23 -and Jacob Paquette from the Kingston Fronteancs for Billy Constantinou, Ian Martin and a whopping 11 draft picks, including four second rounders. Keyser played all three games last week for the Generals, making 33 saves in Windsor and 35 in Sar- nia. Swiss rookie Nando Eg- genberger had three points in both road wins, includ- ing his first OHL hat trick against Sarnia, giving him 11 goals. Noel, who had two goals and two assists in Windsor, extended a point streak to seven games with single assists Friday and Sunday. Captain Jack Studnicka had a goal and three assists in Sarnia Friday and two assists at home Sunday to give him a team-high 28 points in 21 games, one more than Noel. The Generals were in Ottawa Wednesday (after deadline) and return home for games Friday against Hamilton (10-11-1-0) and Grey Cup Sunday after- noon against Sarnia (9-10- 2-2).
