Uxbridge murder court date set DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

UXBRIDGE: The accused in the February slaying of Uxbridge’s Richard Morrison made a court appearance this week, ahead of the case moving to a judicial pretrial next month.

On Monday, April 14, 26-year-old Uxbridge resident Cole Henderson made an appearance over video in an Oshawa court.

During the appearance, the lawyer for Mr. Henderson

said he had recently received a DVD, which contains 1,600 pages of information relating to the case.

Mr. Henderson will appear in person on Friday, May 16. On Friday, March 7, Mr. Henderson was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Richard Morrison, who was found dead in his home on Galloway Cres. in the Quaker Village neighbourhood of Uxbridge in the early morning hours of Feb. 28 with what police have described as “obvious signs of trauma.”

NORTH DURHAM: The organization behind the New Animal Shelter for Uxbridge-Scugog (NASUS) is looking ahead, with exciting developments and multiple fundraising efforts planned for the coming months. Executives Ginger Jackson and Art Matthews provided councillors with an update at Scugog Council Chambers on Monday, April 14.

With new concept drawings, a floor plan by architect Peter Archer, and over $640,000 ear-marked for the NUSAS over the next two years, the group has raised a large portion of their estimated $1 Million to $1.4 Million price tag.

“We’ve had tremendous support from both municipalities and the local public,” said Ginger Jackson, an Executive Member of the project. “Alongside our annual Walkathon on September 27, we’re running the In the Ruff golf tournament again, and we have received an amazing partnership from the Bonner Boys.”

The Uxbridge-based charity group, Bonner Boys, recently announced their joining in the effort for a new animal shelter in North Durham. Proceeds from their annual Car Draw event, held at the Uxbridge Arena on Saturday, June 14, will benefit the new building. “The Bonner Boys have said that they will be on-board until shovels hit the dirt,” said Mrs. Jackson.

According to Mr. Matthews, the next stages for the NUSAS involve engineered designs for a new HVAC system, which will ensure quarantined animals are isolated and infections will not spread - a common issue with the current building. The NUSAS crew has asked both Scugog and Uxbridge to provide staff expertise and knowledge to future planning.

“We are also in the process of kicking off a major donor campaign, for people who have philanthropy in their heart and money in their pockets,” said Mr. Matthews. “We need support from organizations and charity programs, such as an on-line crowd funding resource. More details will be available soon.”

Climate change experts warn of ‘extreme weather to come’ JOE LEBOUTHILLIER The Standard

NORTH DURHAM: At Scugog council’s meeting on April 14, the Durham Region Roundtable on Climate Change (DRRCC) expressed their concerns about extreme weather.

Manager of Sustainability, Brian Kelly, and a fellow DRRCC member Todd Hall, presented to councillors the research they received from SENES, a specialized consulting firm based in Richmond Hill.

Their presentation to council noted that over the next 40 years, weather will become extreme and the people of North Durham need to be “prepared, protected and safeguarded” along with the surrounding infrastructure.

“There will be less snow and more rain in the future winter seasons,” Kelly said.

The DRRCC’s presentation also showed a rainstorm in August 2040 to 2049 will produce 79 per cent more than received in August 2000 to 2009.

Extreme wind in the immediate areas will decrease by almost 20 kilometres per hour.

As well, temperatures will get warmer in the winter months by about four degrees.

Between 2000 and 2009, average days per year with the humidex being above 40 degrees sat at three days. In the SENES report, it shows that number will grow to 24 days by 2040.

A projected 20 to 40 millimetres of more rain will fall in August and about 15 centimetres less snow will fall during the winter months. This is potentially dangerous for residents near lakes, as it will increase the chances of flooding.

Along with those stats, between 2040 and 2049 there will be around 1,100 more days of the year where the temperature will be above freezing. As for days below that and require heating, there will be almost 500 days less.

Local residents who use air conditioners in the weather above 24 degrees saw 12 days per year between 2000 and 2009.

However, come 2040 there will be about 90 days per year that will require AC. In 40 years-time, North Durham is expected to receive 217 per cent more rainfall and 75 per cent less snowfall in the month of February alone.

“The hardest issue that we have is that these stats are a long-way off,” said Scugog Mayor Chuck Mercier. “It’s hard to see it as immediate.”

The councillors are unsure of what to do with no climate change price tags readily available.

“If we look at completing a plan early and paying attention to these numbers, we can potentially save money by extending the life of infrastructure by building it appropriately,” said Hall. That being said, Kelly says they will not know exact costs until the municipality can provide them with volunteers.

“We need to really plan our next step,” said Ward 5 Councillor Howard Danson.

“I’m not sure if we have the money to plan for an event that may happen in the future, it seems like a luxury to pay for maybes.”

The DRRCC wants a decision made before the municipal election this fall.

Councillors asked for more information, and the DRRCC gladly agreed to go out and talk to more experts on climate change.

Sunshine List grows in Durham DARRYL KNIGHT, BENJAMIN PRIEBE & JOE LEBOUTHILLIER The Standard

NORTH DURHAM: North Durham was well represented on the recently released 2013 public sector salary disclosure list, the annual listing of public sector employees who earned more than $100,000.

A total of nine Township of Scugog employees cracked the recently released ‘sunshine list’ this year, for a total cost of over $1 Million.

Each member of Scugog’s senior staff, plus the Township’s four fulltime firefighters, pocketed more than $100,000 last year.

Topping the salary soirée is Scugog CAO Beverly Hendry, with a yearly pay cheque of $148,658 - $7,382 more than her 2012 take-home.

New to the 2014 edition are Trena DeBruijn, director of finance ($102,353) and a handful of Scugog Township Fire Department employees.

Gord Gettins, chief fire prevention officer, earned $125,427, Fire Captain Todd Soomre earned $120,249, and Fire Chief Richard Miller brought home $102,241.

Clint Walker and Joe Goris, two of the Township’s full-time firefighters, made the list this year - earning $105,613 and $11,143 respectively.

“The four firefighters [Goris, Walker, Soomre and Gettins] are on the list for 2013 due to a one-time arbitrated retroactive settlement, dating back to 2009,” said

Captain Soomre - explaining that the elevated salaries are a special phenomenon due to a 2013 settlement, which granted a 27 per cent pay increase over the past four years.

Repeats from last year include Ian Roger, director of works and parks, and Donald Gordon, director of community services - earning $122,653, and $102,314 respectively.

This year’s sunshine list salaries add up to $1,029,648 - roughly a 188 per cent increase from last year’s $357,549.

The top earner from Uxbridge Township was CAO Ingrid Svelnis, who took home a salary of $139,148 in 2013.

Joining Ms. Svelnis from Uxbridge was Treasurer Al Schultz, who earned $122,212.

As well, Public Works Director Ben Kester and Fire Chief Scott Richardson each earned $107,168 in 2013.

Township clerk Debbie Leroux rounded out Uxbridge’s ‘Sunshine Listers’ with $106,066 last year.

Further to the north, Brock Township had three staff members crack six figures in salary last year, led by CAO and Municipal Clerk Tom Gettinby at $137,253. Brock’s Treasurer, Laura Barta ($115,243) and Director of Public Works Nicholas Colucci also appeared on the 2013 list.

Within the Durham District School Board (DDSB), there are a number of local employees who cracked the newest list.

The number one money-maker is Caysi Stark, principal of Port Perry High School,

SCRAP FOR SCOUTS: The First Port Perry Scouts want to help with your spring cleaning! On Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., they will hold a collection for unwanted scrap metal, electronics, batteries, bottles, and cans - proceeds will go directly to the Scout Hall Restoration Fund. For home pickup, or DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard more information, call Jon at 905-260-8020. with a $125,967 salary. That is just under a $3,000 increase from her 2012 salary.

Port Perry HS vice principals Jon Lepage ($102,483) and Dean Geiger ($111,014) also made the list.

Uxbridge SS Prinicipal Steve David also made the list, making $120,283 in 2013.

Mr. avid was joined by USS Vice Principals Steve Harland ($103,303) and Concetta White ($111,014).

Created in 1996 by the provincial government, the Public Salary Disclosure Act requires that any organization receiving funding from the province to disclose the name, position, salary and total taxable benefits of any employee that earns six figures or more in a given year.

Wednesday was the Ham and Scalloped Potato supper in Zephyr, and many Sandford folk availed themselves of the delicious meal. It was good to see young Eric Swan up and about again.

A relative of Barb Harwood’s was buried Thursday and, on Saturday, Barb and Bruce entertained Bruce’s cousins, siblings Harold Harwood and Marion Lambe. Ina Arnold has moved to a long-term care facility in Whitby. Brian Scott continues to fight a tough battle with infection incurred after an operation.

The Standard

EDITORIAL Accountability insurance The decision made last week by Scugog councillors to explore the possibility of an increased crackdown on unauthorized use of township baseball diamonds appears to have ruffled a few feathers locally.

The staff report that brought the matter to the forefront contained several mentions of possible liability for the township.

It has become a sad reality for municipalities that nearly every decision made by local councillors is done so with an eye towards the possibility of being sued.

It would appear that the people who are truly running this country are its insurance companies, as Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor has stated on numerous occasions.

The increasingly litigious nature of our society has led to added scrutiny for everything, and a steady increase in the amount of insurance needed to hold most events, as it is now standard practice to have a $5 million insurance policy to run almost any event. In some cases, even $5 million won’t do the trick, as the organizer of motocross races in Zephyr found out two years ago when he was required to have a $10 million policy for the event, double the amount needed to hold the IndyCar races on the lakeshore in Toronto.

It appears that more and more, we are holding everyone accountable for their actions except ourselves. There are risks in everything we do, and the sooner we accept that everything isn’t always necessarily someone else’s fault, the better off everyone will be.

Except for the insurance companies, who rake in millions of dollars every year as a result of our sue first, ask questions later, and take responsibility never society.

Democracy is being eroded by Fair Elections Act To the Editor, We watch Stephen Harper in Ukraine preaching democracy and lecturing Putin for his incursion into Ukraine and violating that nation’s right to self-determination, meanwhile, the Conservative government is stubbornly determined to ram through parliament the so-called “Fair Elections Act”!

This Conservative government under Harper is unwilling to receive or act upon thoughtful and wise input from opposition members, no less than 19 acclaimed experts on democratic elections from six different countries and the previous and current Chief Electoral

Officers, M. Jean-Pierre Kingsley and M. Mayrand respectively. According to every expert including our current and former Chief Electoral Officers, by eliminating vouching, this government is creating problems which do not exist – only 18 complaints in 2011 election.

This could result in the possible exclusion of 50,000 to 100,000 potential voters most of whom are seniors in longterm facilities, people with outdated addresses on ID documents and First Nations people.

This bill will also prevent the Chief Electoral Officer from investigating and acting upon election irregularities such as the “Robo Call” incidents which oc-

curred in the 2011 federal election in which it was strongly suspected that the Conservative Party was the initiator.

The bill will also allow political parties to nominate poll clerks and deputy returning officers to oversee voting. Conflicts of interest will abound!

We witness on TV, the Conservative front man Pierre Poilievre stating that the 19 internationally recognized experts, the Chief Electoral Officers, all members of the opposition are wrong! He misquotes the pre-eminent expert Mr. Harry Neufeld and states that Mr. Neufeld does not know what he is talking about. Such buffoonery and ignorance on the part of this Conservative minister!

Friends, Wake Up! The very foundation of our democracy is being eroded when the manner in which elections will be conducted is being altered in this way!

All elected members of Parliament should have the opportunity to debate this fundamental issue. They are being denied the chance to do so!

Write your MP and our Prime Minister and Minister Poilievre. This bill will become law on May 1, unless there is major feedback by the public!

Smart birds

A tribute to Jim Flaherty

Not to be boastful, but I may have the smartest birds in the world coming to my feeders. I have, for years, maintained feeding stations and enthusiastically watch the antics of the birds that drop by. Last year, I noticed that my juncos were cleverly using other birds to provide them with food. Okay let’s pause for a second for those who aren’t sure what a junco is. This is a sparrow, that doesn’t look like a sparrow that spends its winters in southern Canada and the northern U.S., feeding on weed seeds and at feeders. It sports a slate gray plumage, forming a hood over the head and down onto the breast. The white belly and tail feathers and pink bill make it unmistakable. Okay so back to the matter of finding food …

I have two feeders with suet in them for the woodpeckers and nuthatches, and they are almost always occupied with birds, with more waiting in the wings, so to speak. Last year, I noticed that the juncos would fly to the ground below the suet feeder to harvest the fallen seeds that were embedded in the suet and subsequently dislodged by the woodpeckers as they fed. Soon they learned to fly to the railing directly below the feeder for even more seeds. Eventually, they learned that they could dislodge the seeds themselves if they clung to the wire cage protecting the suet feeder and poked at the suet block to free the seeds. This in itself is a challenge, as these are ground feeding birds and holding onto a vertical wire is really tricky for them. Seeds dropped by the juncos in this manner are soon scooped up by other juncos waiting below. Over time, they learned that jays, chickadees and nuthatches all would drop seeds when feeding on the suet and they quickly flew to the suet feeders every time any of these birds showed up for dinner – and they were never disappointed for food fell every time! It was interesting to watch this behaviour and how fast the birds learned how to take advantage of this food source. At first it was only one junco, and then one or two, and now eight to ten of them know about this manner of finding food. The whole learning process took less than three days to complete the first time I observed it. Interestingly, when my juncos came back this fall, some of them must have been returnees for they checked out the base of the suet feeders even before I had put out food in them – so they have a memory that lasts at least a year – which is sometimes better than mine!

The blue jays are another story – they are worse than squirrels for outwitting my attempts to control their eating. Don’t get me wrong, I love to watch jays, but they’re pigs and bullies. No matter what I try, they find a way to eat most of the sunflowers seeds and leave the scraps for the other birds. I guess I shouldn’t complain – they are lovely and wonderfully entertaining, but sometimes just too darn smart!

Canadians were shocked and deeply saddened last week by the sudden passing of Jim Flaherty, Member of Parliament for Whitby-Oshawa. Until his retirement as Canada’s Finance Minister March 18, he was the face behind Canada’s economic policies for close to a decade. Indeed, it was his steady hand and good judgment in the Finance Ministry that is credited with Canada’s recovery from the biggest economic downturn since the 1930s.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim’s wife, Christine Elliott (Member of Provincial Parliament for Whitby-Oshawa), their sons, John, Galen and Quinn, as well as their extended family.

Jim Flaherty earned many honours during his elected public service in the Ontario Legislature and in the Canadian Parliament. First elected in the Mike Harris government of 1995, he held many of the most senior portfolios in the Ontario cabinet, including Finance Minister and Deputy Premier. As a federal Member of Parliament, he rose quickly to the rank of Minister of Finance in the Stephen Harper government. He was, until his retirement from the Finance Portfolio, the only finance minister Prime Minister Harper had. But, Jim was proudest of all to be a husband, father, friend, and citizen of Canada.

Having been elected in 1995 with Jim Flaherty and the team who formed the Mike Harris government, I am pleased to have known Jim as a colleague and friend.

I got to know Jim and Christine as a neighbouring Durham Region MPP and as Jim Flaherty’s Parliamentary Assistant when he served as Finance Minister.

In addition to his outstanding talents as a leader and public servant Jim was renowned for being cheerful, outgoing

No Leafs, But the Show Must Go On Hello Standard readers. Before I proceed, my last name is pronounced as follows: Leh-Boo-thee-aye, or for those of you who speak French: Leh-Bootch-Ee-Aye. If you butchered it, that’s OK. I’ve heard every failed attempt.

Furthermore, I’m a huge sports fan. Although I’m an avid Leafs fan, baseball is what I write best.

I was the baseball beat reporter for Durham College’s student-run newspaper, The Chronicle, for two seasons from 2012 to 2013.

Also, I’ve played baseball as well as Australian Rules Football in the Ontario Australian Football League back in 2011.

The Toronto Maple Leafs, along with five other Canadian NHL teams, are not making playoffs this year. Here’s my take on who will advance to the second round, and why.

Let’s start with the East, shall we? Boston, who clinched the Presidents’ Trophy with a 4-1 win over Buffalo on April 12, will play the Detroit in the first round. Boston last won the Stanley Cup back in 2010.

As for Detroit, they are no strangers to the playoffs with 22 consecutive post-season appearances. However, this year they were, and still are, plagued with injuries of top-notch players.

Detroit’s young squad has shown they can win when they need to by snagging a wildcard spot. Going up against the team who scored the most points this season, it’ll be a tough win to conjure up. Prediction: Boston in six games.

Montreal, who fought for their playoff position with Toronto for nearly the entire season, will play Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay has been a winning force this year and that puts more pressure on Montreal, who hasn’t cleared the quarterfinals the past two playoffs they qualified for (2011 and 2013). Prediction: Tampa Bay in five games.

Pittsburgh may have the easiest first-round matchup this year. They are set to play the Columbus. It’ll be a tough situation for Columbus, as they have only qualified for the playoffs once in their NHL tenure. That was back in the 2008-2009 season – and they were shutout four games to none by the Red Wings. Ouch.

Pittsburgh and Columbus have met five times this season. The Jackets were outscored 16-7 and lost all five games.

No surprises here. Prediction: Pittsburgh in four games.

The Rangers and Philadelphia, who have been divisional rivals since the Flyers’ inception in 1967, will meet for the eleventh time in the post-season. Flyers have won the past three post-season matchups.

This series is the only series where both teams split their season series at two wins apiece. It will be a long and gruelling series. Prediction: Rangers in seven games.

As for the West, top-seeded Anaheim will faceoff against Dallas. Here’s where it gets interesting. Dallas has won two of three games versus Anaheim this year alone. Dallas wins 60.9 per cent of their games versus

and approachable.

These traits were fully authentic and simply reflected his values as a man as well as a leader in government for almost two decades.

Despite the partisan nature of politics, it is clear from the tributes to Jim Flaherty that he made friends among those of all political persuasions. He will be sadly missed and always remembered. A book of condolences is available for signing in my Constituency Office (75 King Street East, Bowmanville.) Our office is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is also an online public condolences booklet available at the Canadian Heritage web site, www.commemoration.gc.ca.

Port Perry Residents Earn June Callwood Awards Congratulations to Port Perry residents, Enci Dhanoosingh and C. Ryan Edgar, who were among 14 individuals and four organizations receiving Ontario’s June Callwood Awards on April 10th.

Enci Dhanoosingh is a Port Perry resident who gives many hours to support community organizations such as Community Care Durham, the Port Perry Seniors Club, and the Scugog Shores Museum Village. She also volunteers as a driver for seniors. C. Ryan Edgar is a police constable and a volunteer fire fighter for the Scugog Fire Department. As a member of the Executive Board for Port Perry’s Firefighters Association, he helped raise more than $100,000 for charities such as Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Durham Region Special Olympics, as well as local food drives and community organizations.

Anaheim. (70 per cent at home and 51.7 per cent away.) That being said, anything possible in the post-season. Prediction: Dallas in seven games.

The Kings could be the last California-based team left in the playoffs after the first round.

The Kings are set to play the Sharks, and L.A. has the edge with a 3-2 season-record against them. L.A. only lost four games in their 2011-2012 Stanley Cup run. If the Blues can eliminate the Blackhawks in one of the other West’s series, then they better prepare themselves. In the same season, the Blues were shutdown in four straight games by the Kings. Two predictions in one go: Kings in seven games, Blues in six games.

And last but not least, Minnesota and Colorado. Adding Patrick Roy as their head coach was by far one of the most crucial reasons for the Avs being so successful.

The Wild had their best run in 2003, when they made it all the way to the conference finals against the Ducks.

The Wild won 43 games this season and still only managed the first wildcard spot. The West will be a tough road no matter the team. Prediction: Colorado in six games.

Spring forward with breathe-easy cleaning tips With the snow and cold behind us, Canadians will be getting busy with dusting, mopping and clearing out the closets during their annual spring cleaning.

But, before you start clearing out all of the nooks and crannies in your home, it’s important to understand the potential impact on your health.

Though giving your house a deep clean is a good idea, it can also stir up allergens and dust, which can cause irritation to your respiratory system.

Harsh fumes from cleaning products also have the potential to affect your health, espe-

cially if you have a lung condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, causes permanent narrowing of the lung airways.

Symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing up phlegm and wheezing.

When symptoms get worse or a new, persistent symptom like a change in phlegm comes on, it could be the beginning of a lung attack, which can potentially lead to hospitalization, restricted mobility and even death.

Before you start your annual

Canadians welcome health care at home Most Canadians are ready to receive some of their health care through new technologies, such as telemedicine and videoconferencing, a new study suggests.

The majority see benefits in the form of reduced travel times, faster access to care and reduced costs, according to the consulting firm PwC. Among the findings of the survey, 79 per cent of Canadians are now comfortable with the idea of having chronic health conditions monitored virtually. In addition, 62 per cent of those providing care for someone else – such as a child or a parent – said that virtual care would help them in their task.

Virtual care helps health care providers collaborate with each other and deliver services to patients remotely, using newly available technologies such as videoconferencing, tablets and super-fast Internet connections.

Canadians consistently rank among the world’s most avid users of these new technologies, including smartphones. And it is Canadians themselves that are helping drive the adoption of new technologies in health care, PwC says.

The consulting firm’s Citizen Compass report asked more than 2,400 Canadians what the future of health care delivery looked like to them. The results aim to

identify what new delivery channels can be developed to meet Canadians’ expectations.

Telehomecare is one of the most significant of these channels coming on line across Ontario this year. The service is a free program that complements a patient’s primary care.

A specially-trained nurse monitors vital signs remotely and provides health coaching that gives patients the skills and confidence to manage their chronic conditions.

The Ontario Telemedicine Network, which designed and oversees the service, says early results show that Telehomecare can reduce hospital stays and unnecessary trips to emergency rooms, while at the same time help the patients enjoy the best possible quality of life.

At the moment, Telehomecare is being used to help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure. A pilot project is also launching to treat those with diabetes. More information is available at www.ontariotelehomecare.ca Virtual services “will improve health care practices, enhance patient experience, help doctors coordinate care more efficiently and produce significant cost savings,” the PwC report concludes.

spring cleaning, follow these steps: Natural beauty: Harsh cleaning sprays can cause irritation and trigger breathing problems. Instead, try a less toxic alternative like hydrogen peroxide or a natural cleaning solution like vinegar.

Destroy dust: Take steps to make your home as dust-free as possible throughout the year by dusting and vacuuming regularly and washing bedding in hot water to avoid the collection of dust mites. If you suffer from respiratory conditions like asthma or allergies, consider removing or reduc-

ing the carpet in your home as well as replacing curtains with blinds to further minimize the collection of dust and dust mites.

Learn about lung attacks: If you have a lung disease like COPD and notice any significant change like increased coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing or an unusual change in phlegm, contact your physician.

Discuss your worsening symptoms and also ask if your medication dosages need an adjustment.

THE LARGEST LOCAL SPORTS COVERAGE IN DURHAM REGION

Kennedy Feasby speeds past the competition DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

It was another golden winter for Port Perry’s Kennedy Feasby, as the 10-year-old swept the podium at the Ontario Speed Skating Championships, setting several provincial records.

In just her fourth year competing as a speed skater, the Grade 6 student at Prince Albert PS is showing no signs of slowing down, having been ranked as the top speed skater in her age group in each of the past four years, skating with the Durham Speed Skating Club under coach Darryl Roswell.

At the Provincial Short Track Championships, held in March in Milton, Feasby blew past the competition, setting new provincial records in all four events she skated in, including a time of 3:07.57 in the 1,500 metre event, breaking the old record by 20 seconds.

Feasby was the top 10-year-old skater at the event, beating the top times of every male and female skater participating in the meet.

As well, Feasby tried her hand at long track speed skating this past winter with great results. At the provincial championships, held in Ottawa this past January, Feasby set new provincial records in four distances.

It was a busy winter for Feasby, as she also took to the ice this past winter as a member of the North Durham Blades PeeWee ‘BB’ hockey team.

After focusing on hockey from an early age, Feasby was looking for a new challenge when she took up speed skating four years ago.

“I was in hockey, but wanted to try something new, and my mom looked into speed skating and I really liked it, and have been doing it ever since,” Feasby told The Standard.

Feasby draws inspiration on the track from several notable Canadians who have competed at the Olympics in the hopes of one day joining them representing Canada at the Olympics.

“Charles Hamelin and Katrina Le May Doan really inspire me,” Feasby said. “In one of his commercials, it shows Hamelin skating with a parachute and it led me to start doing that in my own training. It’s my ultimate goal to get to the Olympics and it’s great to have those training tips from the elite skaters to help me one day get there.”

In addition, Feasby uses specialized roller blades for training in the summer months.

“I have to train hard to keep it up, even when there’s no ice,” Feasby explained, adding that she also works on her family’s farm during the summer months doing a variety of chores to help build her strength and endurance.

Thursday April 17th

Open Mic with Dan Mulholland

Port Perry’s Kennedy Feasby had another excellent winter on the speed skating oval, setting a number of provincial records in short and long track speedskating.

SUBMITTED PHOTO Aside from speed skating and hockey, Feasby competes in soccer in the summer months as well as several sports at Prince Albert PS to help her be a more well-rounded athlete.

“I still like to be a regular kid and play a lot of different sports and hang out with my friends,” Feasby said. “Having other things keeps speed skating fun. Although, eventually I may have to focus on it full-time.

For now, I try almost every sport to try and have fun while I’m still a kid.”

Outside of sports, Feasby added that she would like to play percussion in the school band when she moves on to Grade 7 next year.

While speed skating can be nerve wracking at times, Feasby noted that she has several routines to help her focus prior to a race.

“Right before a race, I close my eyes and visualize the race and what I’m going to do on every lap. I imagine myself starting the race and getting to the first cone in first place and it really helps to calm down, knowing I

Saturday April 19th Mumbai Standstill with guests Bootleg Glory, Eight Five Two & Hotpoint Automatic.

have a strategy,” Feasby said. “I also have a back-andforth saying that I do with my mom that I’ve done before all of my meets.”

Next year, Feasby is hoping to compete at the Eastern Canadian Finals against the top skaters from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes in her first year of eligibility.

Feasby is also hoping to compete at the Ontario Winter Games, which her sister Brooklyn took part in this winter for Girl’s hockey.

“We watched some of the speed skating this past winter when my sister had a break from hockey, and it would be amazing for both of us to be able to take part in the Ontario Winter Games.”

As well, Feasby hopes to one day join her dad Scott in the Scugog Sports Hall of Fame. He was inducted in 2010 after a lengthy professional hockey career.

“That would be really cool to be in the Hall of Fame with my Dad as the first father and daughter pair.”

Scugog passes recreation plan BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

On Monday, March 31, Scugog Township passed a motion to participate in the Advancing Access to Affordable Recreation in Durham (AAARD) charter – a Regional program which hopes to work with over 22 municipal and not-for-profit organizations to increase affordable recreation for families and residents of all-ages in North Durham.

Craig Belfry, Scugog’s manager of recreation and culture, expressed his concern for Scugog’s at-risk and low-income families, as well as every resident who is not aware of the wide-range of sports and activities offered for little to no cost.

Mr. Belfry proposed the option of government subsidies for lower-income families, the promotion of awareness for these subsidies, and a stronger partnership with the

Canadian Tire Jumpstart program – which helped 1,371 people of all-ages in Durham Region participate in sports and activities in 2012, for a total value of $172,600.

“We currently have a two-and-a-half per cent participation rate in our activity subsidy programs in Durham Region, much lower than the 20 per cent average of the general population,” said Mr. Belfry. “To address this gap, we need to establish an adult assistance program with the Region, and promote community fundraising opportunities for the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program – which helped 71 Scugog youth between the ages of four and eighteen in 2013, for a total value of over $14,498.”

Mr. Belfry’s report went on the explain that “access to registered recreation programs are an important issue for lowincome individuals, as it

HOME ~ BUSINESS ~ AUTO Competitive Prices Personal Service Superior Protection Mature Driver Discounts

is tied directly to their health, well-being, and sense of belonging.”

The AAARD charter report detailed the benefits of subsidized recreation, including the reduction of stress and depression, the prevention of disease and diabetes, the development of adults and children the their full potential, and a reduction in anti-social behaviours – particularly in at-risk youth.

“The cost of programs prohibit low income residents from trying to register, along with transportation and equipment requirements adding further barriers,” reads an AAARD report. “With no central body, there are many points of entry, which can make the application process difficult to navigate or learn.”

The Township of Scugog agreed to promote advertisement of Canadian Tire Jumpstart programs, consider additional subsidies, and partner with Durham’s AAARD to look further into the effort.

“For every dollar spent in youth and adult recreation, you save many more in health care costs and social programs,” said Councillor Bobbie Drew.

The AAARD charter was signed and and discussed by Durham Region, at Durham Regional Headquarters in Whitby, on Wednesday, April 2.

Chiefs in Jr. C Finals

Aldon

DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

The Uxbridge Enforcers’ lacrosse season kicked off in North Durham over the weekend with a full slate of action at Scugog Arena. BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

For the first time in more than a decade, a team from the COJHL has advanced to the Junior ‘C’ provincial finals after the Lakefield Chiefs swept the Grimby Peach Kings in four straight games last week.

After downing the Peach Kings by a score of 5-3 in Grimsby on Wednesday, April 9, Lakefield finished off the series on home ice on Friday, April 11, winning by a final score of 2-1.

Lakefield will now play for the Clarence Schmalz Cup against the Essex 73s, a perennial powerhouse in Junior ‘C’ hockey. Since defeating the Uxbridge Bruins in a thrilling seven-game series in 2002, Essex has advanced to the Finals in eight of the past 13 seasons, winning the championship three times.

The last COJHL team to reach the finals was the Georgina Ice in 2004, when they fell to Grimsby. Lakefield is the most recent All-Ontario champion from the COJHL, defeating the Belle River Canadiens in 2000.

The series between Lakefield and Essex gets underway this weekend with a pair of games in Lakefield.

The action gets underway on Saturday, April 19, at 7:30 p.m., with Game 2 scheduled for Sunday, April 20, at 2:30 p.m.

Next weekend, the action shifts to Essex with Game 3 scheduled for Saturday, April 26, at 7:30 p.m., with Game 4 on Sunday, April 27, at 2:30 p.m.

Uxbridge Soccer Club pitches their future plans DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

Board members from the Uxbridge Soccer Club appeared before council at their meeting on the morning of Monday, April 7 to provide an outline of the Club’s activities in the future.

The Club proposed a consolidation of its facilities that would see the Herrema Fields shuttered and all of the club’s activities shifted to the Fields of Uxbridge on the former St. John’s Training School/ Kennedy House lands.

Club President Francois Bessay informed councillors that enrollment numbers in soccer have been dropping across the region, and also mentioned the possibility of amalgamation with the Scugog Soccer Club for house league soccer in the future.

“Possible amalgamation with Scugog has been discussed, but one hurdle is the fee charged to out-of-town users in Uxbridge,” added Mr. Bessay.

The three North Durham municipalities (Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock Townships) have been amalgamated for several years as North Durham United Football Club for rep soccer in the area.

As well, to achieve the Soccer Club’s vision at the Fields of Uxbridge, changes

would have to be made, including the addition of one new field, expanded parking, a new pavilion which would also house the concession stand and an irrigation system, which Mr. Bessay proposed could utilize gray water from the Uxbridge Sewage Treatment Plant.

“Fields can be ruined if we don’t have enough water,” said Mr. Bessay. “If we could use your gray water for our soccer fields, that would make us very happy.”

As well, Mr. Bessay mentioned that the club does have money in reserves for the construction of a new pavilion on the site, but added that the township would have to extend services onto the property to allow for permanent washroom facilities.

“We need to have permanent washroom facilities, especially when we have tournaments, which can attract almost 1,000 players,” Mr. Bessay explained.

Under the Soccer Club’s plan, all soccer-related activities would be on the north side of the Main St. driveway at the 112 acre parcel of land, leaving the south side to further recreation development, such as the new aquatic facility.

Additionally, the Club’s Facilities Chair Ken Pavely hinted at future expansion of soccer facilities at the Fields of Uxbridge.

“If, down the line, significant money is saved, we’d like to look at a synthetic field under a dome, which could be used year-round for a variety of purposes, such as soccer, lacrosse or lawn bowling,” said Mr. Pavely.

The presentation was well received by councillors, with Ward 5 Councillor Gord Highet noting that any work done on the site must be done with the future in mind.

“If we’re going to change things, I think that the pavilion may eventually have to serve the entire site,” said

Councillor Highet. “We don’t want to short change ourselves now, and have to look 20 years down the lines.

Traffic flow is a big concern, and if we have to widen the road off Main St., let’s do it now, and not wait for an accident to happen.”

With regards to possible amalgamation with the Scugog Soccer Club, Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor defended Uxbridge’s pay-to-play policy for out-of-towners.

“We can’t dictate what other municipalities do,” commented Mayor O’Connor.

“We have our policy and it’s user pay. We don’t have a casino or an airport fill operation in Uxbridge.”

Mayor O’Connor and Regional Councillor Jack Ballinger are expected to meet with staff from Durham Region to discuss the possibility of using gray water for irrigation on the site.

As well, a report from the township’s Parks and Recreation and Public Works departments is expected back in September for inclusion in municipal budget discussions for 2015.

Sophie’s Choice stands the test of time Meryl Streep is unquestionably the greatest actress in the history of the cinema, winner of three Academy Awards, nominated for another fifteen and countless other critics prizes. She thrives on challenge, and seems to have no weakness as an actor, able to do anything, even portray a ninetyyear-old rabbi.

Yet her greatest work was one of her earliest performances in just her eighth film. She astounded audiences and critics with her heartbreaking, shattering performance as Holocaust survivor Sophie in the superb film Sophie’s Choice (1982).

Directed by the late, great Alan J. Pakula who also adapted the screenplay from the massive William Styron novel, the film opened in 1982 to rave reviews, though few the years has been largely under appreciated and prints of the film allowed to rot away.

Watching this film again after not having seen it for several years, I again fell under the radiant dark spell of Streep’s performance.

Streep herself said four

Foote Prints

by John Foote years ago she was hoping they were working on restoring the film to its original glory, hoping that her children might one day see the film as it was intended. The artists at Shout Factory have painstakingly restored the film, frame by frame, bringing back to us one of the greatest films of the eighties.

Opening in Brooklyn in the years after the war, Stingo (Peter MacNeil) is a young southern writer seeking adventure and a place to write his novel, which he envisions as a great southern opus.

Above him live Sophie (Streep) and Nathan (Kevin Kline). Though their first encounter is ugly, they soon become fast friends and Stingo is mesmwerized by the utterly charm-

ing Nathan who claims to be a biologist. We, along with Stingo, will come to learn that Nathan is not at all what he seems and is in fact dangerously mentally unstable, with a deep rooted hatred for the Nazis and what they did to the Jews.

I saw it opening day December 1982 and went back the next night and again a few days later with a friend, so astounded was I by the

performance. The Director created absolute perfection with the film, gently guiding the actors, while telling a terrible story of man’s inhumanity to one another.

And yet while horrors are happening all around, it seems we have this innate ability to survive, whether we wish it or not.

Sophie’s Choice (1982) is a masterpiece, and the best performance of Streep’s career.
