Uxbridge looks to name recreation facility DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard
UXBRIDGE: With public voting for the new name for the Kennedy House recreation complex set to open on Monday, June 10, some councillors remained underwhelmed by the choices. “I’m still really unhappy with these names,” commented Ward 2 Councillor Pat Molloy. “I’d like to go back to the residents and ask for more names. They’re not significant names and I don’t think anyone is really happy with the proposed names.” When public voting opens on Monday, four names will
by vying to become the new moniker at the recreation complex, located at the corner of Ball Rd. and Main St. North: Uxbridge Activity Park, The Fields of Uxbridge, Uxbridge Commons and Uxbridge Athletic and Recreation Common, also known as “The ARC.” The final name underwent a slight reworking at council’s meeting on the morning of Monday, June 3, following a report from Township Manager of Recreation and Culture Amanda Ferraro. In her report, Ms. Ferraro detailed the change from the original ‘Uxbridge Activity and Recreation Common’ to ‘Uxbridge Athletic and Recreation Common.’
SCUGOG: The safety of school children, finances and outdated guidelines were on the menu when Scugog Council met on Monday, June 3. Councillors decided to continue with the proposed removal of school crossing guards from several intersections and school zones at the end of the school year, despite protest from the affected school’s principals and parents alike. The road crossings which are to be removed are at Hwy. 12 in Greenbank; the intersection of Reach St. and Marsh Hill Rd. in Epsom; Reach St. and Simcoe St.; as well as Old Simcoe Rd. and Carlan Dr., with the addition of a prioritized $50,000 sidewalk on the west side of Old Simcoe Rd. at that intersection. Lunch-hour coverage will cease at Reach St. and Simcoe St., Old Simcoe Rd. and King St., Reach St. and Old Simcoe Rd. and on Old Simcoe Rd. in front of Prince Albert P.S. with morning and afternoon coverage retained. To improve safety, a second crossing guard will be added at the intersection of Hwy 7A and Simcoe St. “The crossings have been identified as hazardous by the transit commission and have been recommended to be removed,” said Mayor Chuck Mercier. “The purpose of the removal is not solely financial, but also an issue of safety to drivers. This report says that for 10 years this intersection went unnoticed as being too hazardous and that a crossing guard may not be sufficient.” The schools will be implementing bussing of students who live past these hazardous crossings. Crossing guards cost $140,000 last year, these removals will reduce costs to $76,000 annually according to Robin Mills of the RH Cornish SCC. Despite council’s efforts to review the guidelines and practices of school crossing guard rules, the room full of parents did not seem pleased.

“Regardless of whether five kids cross or if 500 kids cross, an accident is an accident and the loss of a child is the loss of a child,” said Brad Shearing, principal of SA Cawker P.S. “The crossing guard by Tim Hortons has been hit by a car. If an adult wearing an orange vest with a red sign can be struck, an impulsive child could be hit.” Ward 2 Councillor John Hancock stated that children should be taught safety rules and to not walk while distracted by cell phones or music, a sentiment which drew jeers from the audience. Sara Harrington, of the SA Cawker P.S. SCC, rebuttled that despite their efforts to teach safety with the DRPS safety village, small children and youth are not the most observant people. Ward 3 Councillor Jim Howard posed the ques-
tion of whether or not senior students would be allowed to escort younger children across roads near the school. “It depends what your definition of senior is when dealing with Grade 7 and 8 students,” said Shearing. “While they escort around the school property, they are not allowed to cross actual roads or leave the property.” The guidelines regarding what criteria must be met for a crossing to be put in place are outdated and have variables, such as five to 10 children crossing and do not account for poor weather, line-of-sight and five-way intersections such as King St. and Simcoe Rd. Mayor Mercier attempted to dislodge the apparent wrench in the gears of the Ontario Traffic Manual and the township’s school crossing guard guide by opening up dialogue and starting process for a review of the guidelines to take place. “If we were to design the safest school in the world, would the school which knows the roads and community and drivers handle this issue more internally and directly?” said Mayor Mercier. “Is there a bet-
ter way to administer this program?” Mayor Mercier suggested that perhaps funding could come from the school board and that those who operate the school would understand what needs to be done for safety more fully. “We have started an overriding safety discussion,” said Mayor Mercier, “we have to continue to improve our guidelines with the help of council, the schools, parents and police. I want to see more communication and integration with the schools
and parents who are voicing their concerns so that we can begin work on our safety policies.” Jill Foster, principal of Prince Albert P.S. who stood up in the name of children’s safety, took exception to the suggestion that safety should be up to young students themselves. “The expectation that children who do not have fully developed brains, will be required to carry out split second decisions with their lives on the line is not responsible or very adult.”
Youthapalooza in Scugog, June 8 SCUGOG: The Township of Scugog is organizing its first annual Youthapalooza, to be held on Saturday, June 8 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Scugog Community Centre in the east parking lot, in conjunction with Recreation and Parks month.

Parking woes still present in Uxbridge DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard
UXBRIDGE: Responding to the concerns of residents, the township is set to introduce a ‘No Parking’ zone on Albert St. A report from Public Works Director Ben Kester, included in council’s agenda for their meeting on the morning of Monday, June 3, outlined the rationale for the decision to implement No Parking on the north side of Albert St. west of Toronto St. North to Railway St. “The original plan was to have no parking on the south side, and we heard differently from business owners that are there all day everyday,” explained Mr. Kester. Prior to making the decision, letters were received from both Urban Pantry and the Whimsical Lion that sit at the corner of Albert St. and Toronto St. North. However, no parking was not the only Albert St.
related matter discussed by councillors, as they also took time to once again bring up the long standing issue of a delivery truck from Home Hardware blocking the street while receiving deliveries. “We’ve always done that, and the township put up signs saying that the street may be blocked,” Mr. Kester explained. The explanation did not sit well with Ward 1 Councillor Bev Northeast, who added that the move can cause delays for township residents travelling by GO bus. “I don’t care if that’s the way it’s always been, it’s illegal,” commented Councillor Northeast. “Now that bus service is there, it needs to be addressed. It’s not fair to those bound by the bus schedule to have to wait for a truck to move.” Township staff will now work to investigate solutions for the delivery issues at Home Hardware, with results to be presented to council at a later date.

submitted,” explained Ms. Ferraro. Ward 5 Councillor Gord Highet again defended the choices made by the renaming committee as he did when the four names were originally presented. “This committee was struck to create the formula and council has had many opportunities to revisit that process. But, let’s move forward with the process we’ve started and not change course because some of us aren’t satisfied with the names,” said Councillor Highet. However, Ward 4 Councillor Jacob Mantle argued that the process was already changed when the committee was directed to move away from potentially having a person’s name attached to the facility.

“The process was changed halfway through and we should change it to no restrictions,” added Councillor Mantle. “I think there are some names that would be before us if the process hadn’t changed halfway through.” Later, after Councillor Molloy asked how he would go about blocking the names from going to
the public, Deputy Mayor Bev Northeast weighed in on the matter. “I don’t think we should add more names. The original intent was to bring forward four names to the public,” said Councillor Northeast. Still, Councillor Mantle remained steadfast in his commitment to bring forward all possible choices
for the complex. “We are already in the process by saying that we can’t include a person’s name,” commented Councillor Mantle. “Which is all the more reason to reconsider it. Ultimately, any name could be chosen by council, we never voted that we would accept the name voted by the public.” Despite the protests
from Councillors Molloy and Mantle, the voting is still set to open next week. “Let’s put it to the public and see what happens,” said Councillor Northeast. Voting for the new name for the Kennedy House complex will take place on the townships web site, www.town.uxbridge.on.ca starting on Monday, June 10.

Welcome back to Fred and Helen Wilson who have returned to their home on the 7th, sharing with son Murray and family. Many from the surrounding communities gathered at St. Paul’s Leaskdale to wish Helen Harrison a happy 80 birthday –a much better occasion to meet old friends than the usual mournful event. Please

SUNDERLAND by Denise Wilson Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin This quote pretty well sums up all the types of weather that we have been having I would say. It was only a few weeks ago that we woke to a light dusting of snow on our green lawns, and the rains just keep coming! Brock Minor Hockey hosted a very successful, sold out, Country 105 dance at the Sunderland arena this past Saturday night. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make it a success and to all who supported it. This Friday evening, June 8 and all day Saturday June 9 is the Sunderland Lions Summerfest. This event has become a right of summer as it historically is the second week of June, and part of the Sunderland Fairgrounds becomes a Beach with sand. Everyone has a great time and so come on out and cheer on friends and neighbors and pretend that you are at the Beach! Sunday morning you can recover from the Beach outing by heading to the Legion for breakfast. Now that is a really good deal for $4.99. Saturday, June 15, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. is St. Andrews Yard and Bake Sale. So come on out you never know what treasures that you will find! Have a great week!

EDITORIAL
The price of safety The topic of school crossing guards doesn’t usually draw controversy, but for several members of Scugog’s school communities, a recent council motion has done just that. The proposal? Pull the crossing guards from certain intersections, bus the kids and, in one case, throw down a sidewalk. The notion put forth by at least one Scugog councillor that senior elementary school students should be policing their younger peers borders on the ridiculous. That should not be taken as a criticism of the maturity of those students - moreso that even adults can have a tough time helping the youngest kids stick together as they cross the street. They are children, after all. If anything, keep the crossing guards and review the payment model. Currently in Scugog, crossing guards are funded entirely out of the township’s budget. Why aren’t the local school boards picking up at least part of the tab? They’re now going to be paying to bus those students anyway - why not keep those kids walking, as they’ve been instructed to embrace every ounce of physical activity they can in a day? While those intersections in question may have been deemed ‘too dangerous’ to be used as school crossings, this is based on a tenyear-old study. Have they become less safe since then? Currently, they seem to be working fine, so another look may be warranted. As pointed out by at least one member of the local school community at this week’s council meeting, crossing guards not only assist children crossing the street, but they have served as another pair of eyes watching out for our youth, providing, in one instance, safety information to local skateboarders and possibly acting to ward off unwelcome visitors to schoolyards. A sidewalk can’t do that.
Reader speaking up for safety of local turtles To the Editor, Each time I drive from Blackstock to Port Perry in the summer my stomach turns as I approach the causeway area. This is a hotspot of turtle carnage and we still have no signs to alert people to slow down and be mindful. Two years ago I found a painted turtle on the center line, bleeding with its shell cracked. This was one lucky turtle because it survived the ride to the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Center in Peterborough (now the Kawartha Turtle Conservation Center) and was patched together by Dr. Carstairs and her team. Last summer we released it back into Lake Scugog to try its luck again. But without a co-ordinated effort to get people to SLOW DOWN and WATCH – at least during the critical summer months – turtles are going
to disappear from this planet. Unlike other animals who die by the thousands on our roads every year, turtles cannot reproduce fast enough to replace themselves. Females do not reach reproductive maturity until they are upwards of 10 years old. The most frustrating thing for me is that it’s really not hard to avoid running over a turtle. They don’t leap out at you in surprise or dash wildly in front of your car without warning. Any turtle that has been hit by a car was hit because the driver wasn’t paying attention. So far this year I have seen two crushed and mangled turtle bodies on that stretch of highway. I don’t know what is worse – seeing them dead or not seeing them at all – because fewer and fewer turtles are showing up in this area. It seems we have almost been successful in wiping them out.
Short of dressing up like teenage mutant ninja turtle and patrolling that stretch of highway with a sign telling drivers to pay attention I am at a loss as to what to do next. Council has been approached in the past by the KTTC with a request for signs, I have written to John O’Toole who forwarded my concerns to the Ministry of Natural Resources, who promptly passed the buck back to the township and the Ministry of Transportation. End result: nothing. So this is a request to any person or group (Boy Scouts? Mississaugas of Scugog Island? Mayor Mercier?) Who has time to help the turtles? Melissa Monteith Blackstock

OPINION

Scandal editorial one-sided, says reader To the Editor, I read your editorial “Who’s at the Wheel?”. It’s one sided. Let me point out why I think so. You mention “several politicians” but only mention Rob Ford’s issue and Harper’s/Senate issue. What about Mcguinty’s / Wynne’s long trail of lies, corruption, more lies, deceit, more lies? ORNGE , e-health, Project Vapour - gas plant closures, deleting e-mails related to Project Vapour, $40M dollar lawsuits involving Martha Findlay Hall and her brother Doug Hall, $40B (!!) debt increase in a 2 year period, Paul Godfrey’s OLG firing, never-ending green nightmare, mythical green jobs, vast hydro bill increases, $36M Xmas payouts for top bureaucrats while running huge deficits, Rivers of Red Ink, Patronage Orgy, pay “freezes” farce, “I will NOT raise taxes”? , bullying of Catholic schools, Ontario’s debt downgrade by Moody’s, Drummond’s recommendations ignored (ALL of them??), entertaining
thoughts of Sharia law (!!??), blaming Harris (really?), recent huge tax increase proposed by an unelected, scandal prone government. They dodge an election with scandalous pandering to the NDP, McWynne calls for a clean up for the mayor problems? What about her own party’s ongoing circus of scandals? Anyway, the list is far longer than what I mention here but perhaps you can understand that I find it odd that you do not mention any of these in your editorial on ‘Who’s at the wheel?’ Let’s try using perspective. I assume you are a taxpayer. How much did each of the above cost you as a taxpayer? Do the math and I think you’ll understand my point that McGuinty / Wynne cost us more with a single bad decision than all the other “troubles” you mentioned Rob Ford created. If Rob Ford does drugs - he is stupid. He hurts himself & family but does not affect me or my wallet unlike, for instance, McGuinty’s hydro
bill surprises every month. I believe that McGuinty was the Worst Premier in History. Ontario continues on a decline because of his policies, his high deficits, his high debt and rampant socialism. I believe editorials, news articles, columns should be balanced so as to provide a constructive direction. Your editorial was not. I am counter-balancing. ALL politicians should be held to the fire equally for their mistakes, and better, commended on their good leadership, and best, bad ones NOT elected in the first place. I believe that when a government encounters the number of scandals that the Ontario Liberals have had that an election should be held. In fact, it should be mandatory. We deserve the government that we elect. Enjoy your hydro bill.

House Tour looking for a few good homes To the Editor, Over the past four years the Port Perry / Prince Albert House Tour raised over $35,000 for local charities and brought hundreds of appreciative visitors to our community. This year we are in desperate need of houses for the House Tour. Without houses, we have no House Tour. We are looking for homes in and around Port Perry / Prince Albert, old and new, small and large, examples of the varied and interesting architecture, interior design and decor found within our community to participate in this year’s tour. If you would like an opportunity to have your house on the House Tour and support local charities or like further information please call Bill Swan at 905-9821619 or e-mail at ws1547@powergate.ca The House Tour will be held on Saturday, September
21, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All of the proceeds go to supporting these important local organizations: Joanne’s House, Community Care Durham, YWCA Durham, Big Brothers and Big Sisters North Durham. We have assembled a large project team of energetic volunteers -- local community residents who are offering their time, expertise, and resources to help make this event a success. We will assign a team to each home that will be responsible for coordinating all aspects of the tour. This team will also be present throughout the day of the tour to ensure the security of the properties and the contents of the homes. Join the fun! Help your Community!

Monster movie confidential It’s weird seeing downtown Port Perry taken over by werewolves. Since Halloween is still months away (and will undoubtedly be here before we realize it) I can only be talking about one thing. Last summer, film crews hit Queen St. for something called Hemlock Grove and while it has been available for viewing since March, I’m just getting around to it now. Port Perry is very recognizable and with the exception of Queen St. west of Simcoe being replaced with a shiny tower (where nefarious experiments may or may not take place) you know where the characters are. Think Twilight meets Dexter and you’re not far off, blending the teenage monster drama of the former with the adult content (I can’t stress that enough to readers with kids - be forewarned), the-killer-walksamong-us murder mystery and almost the theme music of the latter. Not exactly my cup of tea (I loathe the first and enjoy the second of the two franchises mentioned above), but I’ve watched seven of 13 episodes (not sure if that’s a coincidence or incidental count) thus far, and I’m in too deep to not follow through and find out what happens.*
Two things came to mind while watching it, both related to zombies. The first was that all I could think about while watching the show was how much I wanted to see the walking dead from, well, The Walking Dead, visit Hemlock Grove and do their thing, specifically finding the main characters and eating their brains. Like everyone else these days, zombies are my go-to for monsters. I say this as an individual who has spent many an evening combing video store shelves for the most low-budget horror films available, followed by viewings that last into the wee hours of the morning. I feel it qualifies me for some sort of elite zombie fan status, if for no other reason than to justify too many misspent evenings over the years. That may be hampered by my not-so-secret zombie shame, specifically that I have never watched Italian horror director Lucio Fulci’s aptly titled ‘Zombie,’ or ‘Zombi 2’ if you’re a snob - the Citizen Kane of the undead. Because I’ll never have a better chance to do this again, here’s my top 3: - Dawn of the Dead (1978 version) - Return of the Living Dead - The Evil Dead 2.
Staying in touch... JOHN O’TOOLE MPP
Budget no bargain for Ontarians Last week’s deal between the Liberals and New Democrats to pass the provincial budget is clearly no bargain for Ontario taxpayers. The coalition agreement that keeps alive the McGuinty/Wynne government will add billions of dollars to the Ontario budget. It seems to me that the budget coalition is very similar to the billion-dollar gas plants scandal in which the McGuinty government attempted to cling to power at any cost. Now, this government is spending a billion dollars to rent the NDP support. This will give the impression of a majority government that voters denied this government in the 2011 provincial election. The fact remains that more than 500,000 Ontarians have no job to go to. Ontario’s debt has doubled, and will soon triple. Ontario can do better, but not if we follow the discredited tax-and-spend policies that led to the financial mess we are facing. Economist Don Drummond forecasted this some time ago. Our PC Caucus remains determined to build a government we can afford. We will continue to fight for a public sector wage freeze, lower taxes, affordable energy, less regulation and a halt to wasteful spending. Only our policies will reduce the size and the cost of government while growing the Ontario economy and creating jobs. Gov’t knew cancellations could cost $900 million Almost every day brings a new revelation about the decision by the McGuinty government to cancel the controversial gaspowered generating stations in Mississauga and Oakville. Documents released to a legislative committee of MPPs studying the Liberals’ gas plant scandal make it explicitly clear that the Liberal government knew the cancelled Oakville and Mississauga gas plants could cost $900 million. Financial documents showed that, in early 2012, the government was setting aside approximately $900 million in the fiscal year 2012-13 to cover risks associated with the gas plant cancellations. PC Opposition Energy Critic Vic Fedeli said last week that “Documents from the Ministry of Finance demonstrate the government was aware that the gas plant cancellations would cost upwards of a billion dollars.” It now appears that the Ministry of Finance knew the real costs, the Cabinet knew, and The Treasury Board knew. Yet, all the while, the McGuinty-Wynne government insisted $230 million was the cost to the taxpayers of Ontario. This is one more reason why the Liberals and New Democrats need to act on our PC Caucus’ motion of non-confidence in the McGuinty Government, based on the gas plant scandal and its implications.

Which leads into revelation number 2. Many of these selections were based on box art alone. That is a dying method of determining which movies are worthy of viewing - which almost always flops, but when it works out, is a pleasant surprise. And when it doesn’t, at least you have an answer to the ‘what’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen?’ question. I have (too) many of those. While a service like Netflix offers a poster/box image for each film, there’s something to be said about walking into a video store, picking up a worn plastic case and comparing movies side by side with the smell of popcorn wafting through the air. Days gone by for sure. But at least there’s no licorice stuck to the floor of my living room. *As of returning to finish this column, I skipped ahead to the end, where I now have more questions than answers, specifically who is the best local source of anti-werewolf supplies. Hey, you never know.

In a world of high end women’s fashion labels and the high cost to purchase them it’s good to know that there is a store that offers these upscale labels at a fraction of the original ticket price. The Gypsy’s Closet in Port Perry is such a store. The gently used women’s consignment store is the brainchild of Sandy Thomson and her daughter Melanie, and came in to being in July 2012 offering such popular brands as Gucci, Joseph Ribkoff, Nygard, Jones New York, Tan Jay, Point Zero and the list goes on and on. You can find clothing ranging in all sizes for dresses, evening wear, prom, business attire, coats, pants, active wear and maternity. Not restricted to just fashions, The Gypsy’s Closet also offers an abundance of gorgeous new and used accessories with handbags, scarves, jewellery, shoes and belts... all at a low, low price. The appeal of The Gypsy’s Closet is not just the money you save but the money you can earn and the positive impact it has on the environment. In today’s economy, affordable clothing is a big issue and these much needed items do not have to end up in landfills. The Gypsy’s Closet encourages you to recycle and bring in the gently used items you no longer wear and in doing so you will earn 40% of the selling price in cash or on account. Sandy and Melanie are accepting spring wear now and summer wear after April 15th so reorganize and declutter your closet, bring in these needed items and earn back some of the money you originally spent. End of season and on going sales can also be found at The Gypsy’s Closet where you can save up to 75 per cent on selected racks. This Saturday (June 8), customers can shop tax-free at the ‘Gypsy Pays The Tax’ sales event. Don’t forget - every purchase comes with a ballot for a monthly draw to win a purse. To learn more or if you have any questions please contact Sandy or Melanie at 905-982-0200 or drop by at 1874 Scugog St. in Port Perry from Tuesday to Friday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

So our resolutions have come and gone and we find ourselves still searching for the magic bean that helps us live a vital healthy life. We started out with good intentions but scheduling, family, other distractions pulled our focus away from a revitalized existence. Now I could guide you, eat this, shake that, lift this and push that, or sell you on a potion that will flush your wallet and eventually your self-esteem, but I won’t. What I will tell you is to keep your health and fitness goals simple and realistic. In our fast paced lives we tend to expect immediate results in an unrealistic time frame. This can lead to unhealthy choices in diet and exercise practices. If you have been inactive for a time, start slowly and work just outside your comfort zone, the daily walk is a great start. Walk at a pace that makes it challenging to hold an extended conversation. Build endurance and strength in a way that is gradual and sustainable, being too sore or
sustaining an injury is not part of the plan. When it comes to training let go of your ego and look to long term sustainable action. In regard to nutrition simplicity is important here as well. Hydration is extremely beneficial when it comes to cleansing the body. We don’t need the multi-level marketing potions being hocked by pseudo health and wellness entrepreneurs. The body has kidneys, and a liver, water will do just fine. Try to take .55 ounces of water per pound of body weight per day. Choose foods that are as close to the earth as possible. We should eat some form of protein at every meal and add healthy fats such as avocado, to our daily routine. Eat vegetables that grow above the ground frequently and vegetables that grow below the ground occasionally. Limit the intake of pasta’s and grains and eliminate sugar and sweeteners. Ouch! I heard someone gasp! To some even these simple suggestions may seem extreme; this is due to our programming but through my own experience I have found that these are sustainable steps toward
effective results. At this time of year we are lucky to live in southern Ontario. We have quality, locally grown food in abundance, there is no excuse to be eating any convenience foods. Good nutrition just takes planning, and organizing meals ahead of time will help balance our nutritional needs, giving us the energy to move. We have so many amazing trails and conservation areas locally that it makes it easy for us to find a place to be active. Try to cover these three forms of activity our hunter-gatherer ancestors did to survive, move slowly, lift heavy things and sprint. If you find limitations hold you back, listen to your body and do what you can, remember the ego? There is never failure only feedback. In a living fitness lifestyle we should aim to be persistent, consistent and determined. Breathe, eat clean, move, and smile! Live healthy, live strong. Bart Wagar is founder, co-owner and president of Zenfit Fitness in Port Perry. Visit Zenfit on-line at www.zenfit.ca. Never start any fitness program or diet without first consulting your doctor.

Dress like a movie star with glitz, glamour, jewels and fabric If the fashionistas have their way, this will be a summer like no other. Sunny days and sultry temperatures give us the perfect time to strut our sensual stuff – and this year, the height of fashion is embracing the glamour and jewels of a sun-kissed, jet-set look. “To get this look just right, envision the social elite of the 1950s and 60s,” says Janette Ewen, a style expert for leading jewelry brand, Pandora. “Dress up as if you might be whisked off to Cannes tomorrow, or to sizzling St. Tropez. Don’t hold back on flaunting lots of glitz and cleavage, red lips and sparkles, all of it embodying the golden era of Hollywood beauties.” Best of all, says Ewen, you can create this look quickly without a private jet or a trust fund. Here are a few of her fun-filled tips: The iconic jet-set wardrobe always starts with a base of chic black and white complemented by bright colours and bold Pucci-inspired prints. And, you can’t go wrong with casually-styled maxi dresses in lightweight flowing fabrics, especially in colours like kelly green, turquoise-blue and fuchsia. When dressing, remember that the overall aesthetics of the jet set look is about clean, classic lines. A striped boat-neck top, paired with crisp pants and a pop of bold colour will work well from the beach to the golf course. Shop for neck scarves in bold colours, and when it comes to adornments, layer leather bracelets or coloured cords from Pandora.
The latest hair trends this wedding season Summer is the season to relax and let your hair down – as long as it survives the elements. To keeping looking your best, here are few of the latest hair trends and tips: Waves - This summer season try letting your own natural waves and movement shine through. To give your hair the natural fullness you crave without weighing it down, try a root lift spray, such as Nexxus Hydra-Light Root Lift Mist. By targeting your roots, the mist lifts hair where oils naturally weigh it down, leaving your tresses healthy, soft and full of life. Spray a little product in your hair and then scrunch in small sections from root-to-tip for natural-looking summer waves. Ponytail - One of the hottest trends this season is the low ponytail, which can be ruined by summer’s best friend and your hair’s worst enemy - humidity. Flyways and frizz can make your look go from flawless to frazzled. By washing your hair with a frizz fighting shampoo and conditioner you can pre-
pare for the humidity attack. Look for one that has 24-hour frizz control, such as Clear Frizz Control Shampoo & Conditioner to ensure your ponytail is smooth and sleek around the clock. Then, take your ponytail to the next level by wrapping 1-inch section of hair around the hair elastic and securing with a bobby pin. Ombre - This summer, the ombre look continues to go strong, with emphasis on incorporating lighter tones. Red has also made a strong revival, with many starlets sporting fiery locks. Colouring your hair can look amazing at the start, but the summer sun can dry out your strands and drain the tone of vitality. Choose a hair product with a sunscreen filter and conditioning colour protection, such as Dove Colour Care Daily Treatment Conditioner. Now watch as your hair becomes your favourite accessory. Courtesy of News Canada
Sun-kissed hair and glowing skin are essential components for the look. Avoid an overdone or slick ‘do’ and instead, go for loose beachy waves, or a soft side plait. A good self-tanner will give your skin a healthy glow, but does not give you any protection. Avoid skin damage by wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or greater. When the sun goes down, your jewelry shines. The jet setter likes to layer it on and they love to accent their looks with gold and silver. Combining jewelry for a custom, layered creation is a Pandora specialty, Ewen points out. Sparkling stackable rings draw attention to your glowing skin tone. So will interchangeable earrings with dangling pendants and bracelets in sterling silver, 14k gold, and in trendy leather, or coloured fabric. Layers of jewelry allow you to keep your summer makeup light. On your lips, slick on a soft red gloss and on your eyes, a few coats of waterproof mascara. With the summer heat, avoid heavy powders and foundation whenever possible. Finish your work of art with a glamorous brimmed hat – or a sassy fedora – and even when not needed, a pair of chic tortoiseshell sunglasses. “The darker the better,” Ewen says about the sunglasses. “You never know when the paparazzi will be around the next corner.” Courtesy of News Canada

THE LARGEST LOCAL SPORTS COVERAGE IN DURHAM REGION
A golden week for high school rugby DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard
It was another banner season for high school rugby in North Durham as a trio of local teams brought home LOSSA Championships. On Friday, May 31, the Senior Boys Rugby team from Uxbridge SS completed their drive for five consecutive LOSSA championships when they defeated the Donald Wilson (Whitby) Gators by a final score of 17-7 at the Oshawa Vikings Rugby Football Club Field in Raglan. In addition to winning the past five LOSSA titles, the Tigers’ Senior Boys entry has claimed nine of the past 11 gold medals. The Tigers will now square off against the province’s other top teams at the OFSAA Championships in Ottawa between Wednesday, June 5 and Friday, June 7. Uxbridge enters the tournament as the number eight seed and will open tournament play against Banting Memorial (Alliston) on Wednesday. Before advancing to the championship game, the Tigers prevailed in a semifinal ‘Battle of North Durham’ winning over Port Perry by a score of 55-0 on Tuesday, May 28. The Junior Boys team at Port Perry High School dominated the competition throughout the season, en route to a 31-0 win over Uxbridge in the championship game on Friday, May 31. The win was Port Perry’s first Junior division championship since 2007, and the team will look to add to the trophy case when they take on Ontario’s top Junior teams at the Barbarian Cup in Markham on Sunday, June 9 and Monday, June 10. Not to be outdone, Port Perry’s Junior Girls team completed their second straight undefeated season when the Rebels toppled the Ajax Rams by a score of 13-3 in the LOSSA Championship on Wednesday, May 29. Despite rain, mud, heat and humidity the Lady Rebels persevered against a tough tackling Ajax team. Ally Fracz and Shauna Kuebeck scored five points each, and then Fracz got another three points during a penalty kick. “Our girls worked really hard all season, and myself and coach Tom Shelswell couldn’t be prouder of the teamwork and sportsmanship displayed by the girls,” Coach Elaine Cole told The Standard. The Uxbridge Senior Girls saw their perfect season end on Wednesday, May 29 when they lost to Pickering by a score of 19-12 in the championship game earning the Lady Tigers a hard fought silver medal.
North Durham once again showcased the area’s dominance on the rugby pitch with three local high school teams winning LOSSA Championships last week. (From top) The Port Perry HS Junior Boys downed Uxbridge 31-0 in the Finals; the Uxbridge Senior Boys won their fifth straight LOSSA gold; the PPHS Junior Girls completed an undefeated season.

Hossack a key player in RIT’s run to NCAA Final DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard
Port Perry’s Matt Hossack recently completed an outstanding freshman season at the Rochester Institute of Technology, as he helped the men’s lacrosse team advance to their first-ever NCAA Division III Championship game. The 19-year-old Port Perry High School graduate played some of his best games of the season down the stretch for the Tigers, as they fell by a score of 16-14 to Stevenson University in the Championship game on Sunday, May 26 before more than 22,000 fans at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field - home of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles. In the playoffs, Hossack took his game to another level as the Long Stick Midfielder scored in three straight games as the Tigers advanced to the first championship game in school history. Hossack was named Liberty League Rookie of the Week twice during the playoffs, first following a 22-13 win over Cabrini in the second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament with a goal and six ground balls for the Tigers. He would follow that up with another outstanding performance in the quarter and semifinals when he scored twice, caused four turnovers and had six ground balls in the quarterfinals and semifinals combined. Hossack netted a goal, grabbed three ground balls and caused a turnover in RIT’s 14-5 win over Tufts in the national quarterfinals. He followed that up with a goal, three caused turnovers and three ground balls in a 10-9 overtime win at SUNY-Cortland in the Division III national semifinals. There has been little time for the mechanical engineering major to rest since returning home from western New York as he has already appeared in two games for the Junior ‘A’ Whitby Warriors, where he plays alongside older brother Graeme.
Port Perry native Matt Hossack, shown here last season as a member of the Junior ‘B’ Clarington Green Gaels, was a major contributor for the Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers, as the team advanced to the NCAA Division III National Championship for the first time in the school’s history in Philadelphia on Sunday, May 26. The 19-year-old will spend the summer playing alongside older brother Graeme Hossack with the Junior ‘A’ Whitby Warriors. DEVYN GALLAGHER Special to The Standard Hossack joins the Warriors after a 2012 with the Junior ‘B’ Clarington Green Gaels. Aside from his exploits on the lacrosse field, Hossack also received numerous honours over the course of his minor hockey career split between the Port Perry Preda-
tors and Central Ontario Wolves. In 2007, Hossack was awarded PeeWee MVP as he played a major role in helping the team advance the provincial semifinals, ultimately falling in four games to the eventual champions from Collingwood.

OMHA to honour locals this week North Durham will be well represented when the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) hands out their annual awards in Richmond Hill on Friday, June 7. In addition to The Standard’s Darryl Knight being presented with the George H. Carver Media award for his outstanding coverage of the Uxbridge Stars, Port Perry Predators and Central Ontario Wolves, the Port Perry Predators Tyke 6 team is one of five Hometown Excellence Team Recognition Award winners. The Award of Hometown Excellence Program has been created to recognize minor hockey teams for their teamwork and dedication both on and off the ice. The recognized teams will have displayed excellence in one or both of the following areas: excellence in the community and excellence on the ice. The award recognizes
Work Hard and Play Hard!
DA R RY L K N I G H T
minor hockey teams at any level who: abide by and promote the organization’s rules and codes of conduct; advocate the community values of fair play, safety, sportsmanship, skill development, participation, and spirit of the game of hockey and have made an extraordinary contribution to their community that is deserving of special recognition. Meanwhile, Mr. Knight, who has covered minor
hockey for The Standard since 2005, was honoured with the George H. Carver Media Award for the first time. The award, which is named for the longtime Belleville Intelligencer reporter is designed to show appreciation for the invaluable coverage of minor hockey in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association provided by local media outlets. During the course of any minor hockey season, players and their parents rely on local media for coverage of their teams and leagues. For this reason the OMHA has elected to profile one print media outlet for their excellent coverage of minor hockey during the minor hockey season. The awards presentation will be hosted by Uxbridge resident and Uxbridge Minor Hockey President Dan Pollard and Breakfast Television’s
Kevin Frankish. The Ontario Minor Hockey Association, founded in 1935, is the largest minor hockey association in the world and oversees a participant base of 300,000 consisting of players, coaches, trainers, officials, hockey volunteers and parents across the province. The OMHA has 250 active member minor hockey associations and annually coordinates 31 leagues and approximately 600 development clinics throughout Ontario.
With an uncertain weather forecast, the stock car action at the Speedway of Canadian Tire Motorsport Park was cancelled for June 1, but with the changing of the calendar, Corner 5 offers a chance to plan your racing itinerary for ‘Canada’s Home of Motorsports’ From the mid-to-late 1980s, the amateur racing scene in Ontario had reached a peak, with a variety of motorsport disciplines serving as training grounds for future driving stars. From the open wheeled Export A Formula 2000 Series, to the ‘Tin Tops’ in the Honda Michelin and Players/ GM Challenge Series, many now recognizable drivers paid their racing dues, nowhere was the talent more pronounced than in the Rothmans Porsche Turbo Cup. A ‘Spec’ racing series for turbo-charged Porsche 994 sports cars, fields in this division regularly topped two dozen participants, with entrants including such future champions as Ludwig Heimrath, Scott Goodyear, Ron Fellows, Paul Tracy, Richard Spenard and Scott Maxwell. Unfortunately, like the aforementioned F-2000 and GM series, the Porsche Cup was dissolved much too early when Bill C-51, which prohibited tobacco advertising, was enacted. In 1990, after five years of operations, the Rothmans Turbo Porsche Cup was dead. Not too surprisingly, Porsches have enjoyed a history of longevity, and many of those same 944 models have returned to the track over the years in various incarnations. And now, more than two decades after their final organized event, the Rothmans Porsche Turbo Cup series will be remembered and resurrected, as the headlining attraction at this year’s VARAC Canadian Historic Grand Prix, running on Father’s Day weekend (June 14-16) at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. But this year’s three-day CHGP Vintage Festival will showcase much more than just Porsches, as a full slate of racing is scheduled for both open and closed wheeled, classic cars. Away from the on-track action, fans can enjoy the Legends of Motorsports photo and autograph sessions, and take part in the usually spirited Toronto Star Great Canadian Racer’s Reunion, hosted by the Star’s Norris McDonald. The Vintage Festival at CTMP has become a ‘Must Do’ destination for the owners and drivers of many classic race cars, and the atmosphere in the paddock is one catering to casual exploration, spectating, and conversation. Fans of vintage motorsports machinery and competition are invited to bring their lawn chairs and their cameras to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park to remember the days when ‘Race Drivers Were Fat and the Tires Were Skinny’. To download free admission tickets and for full details and a schedule of the Vintage Auto Racing Association of Canada (VARAC) Historic Grand Prix, check out their website, www.varac.ca.

SPRING TRADITION: Linda Brunton of the Pine Ridge Garden Club inspects some of the plants for sale at the club’s recent fundraising Plant, Yard and Bake Sale, held at Nestleton Hall last month. Watch for the club’s monthly BLAKE WOLFE The Standard reports in The Standard.
BROCK: Durham police attended a Cannington residence after receiving information about a wide variety of chemicals in the basement of the home, which investigators later determined were not being used for any illegal purposes. On Friday, May 24, Durham police received information about multiple types and quantities of household chemicals and cleaning agents in the basement of the residence. North Durham officers, assisted by members of the DRP Tactical Support Unit (TSU), arrived at the residence with a search warrant to investigate further. A 28-year-old man was arrested but later released with no charges as part of the ongoing investigation. Officers discovered various types of common household chemicals in the basement, which were being used for small, controlled lab experiments as a hobby. It was determined that the chemicals were not being used for an unlawful purpose. To ensure the safety of the residence and the immediate area, experts from the Explosive Disposal Unit were called
in to assist with reviewing the chemicals on-site. The male was also educated by investigators about the potential hazards and dangers of this pastime. Anyone with new information about this investigation is asked to contact Det. Greg Collins of North

Freemasonry revealed in Uxbridge The Uxbridge Historical Centre is hosting a new travelling exhibit - “Freemasonry: A History Hidden in Plain Sight”. The exhibit is open from June 8 - September 29, 2013, at Uxbridge Historical Centre, 7239 Concession Road 6, Uxbridge. This exhibit intends to promote the knowledge, appreciation and understanding of Masonic history, and Freemasonry’s influence upon our society today. To share an important part of Uxbridge’s history with visitors to Uxbridge Township. Freemasonry: A History Hidden in Plain Sight, will take visitors on a voyage of discovery into the history and ‘secrets’ of Freemasonry. If all you know about Freemasonry comes from the popular novel, The Da Vinci Code, or the movie, National Treasure, prepare to be amazed at what you will learn about this 300 year old organization that is still going strong today. There have been requests to borrow this exhibit from all across
the country; be among the first to see it right here in Uxbridge! The Masons have a long and respected history in the Township of Uxbridge. The very first meeting of Zeredatha Lodge No. 220 in Uxbridge was held in July 1870. Members of the Lodge have met continuously since that time, with Lodge members including a ‘who’s who’ of names from the history of Uxbridge Township. Today, Zeredatha Lodge No. 220 meets at 26 Spruce Street, across from the heritage railway station. Masons are involved in a number of charitable causes and describe the purpose of the organization as “to build and maintain a generous record of caring and assistance.” Local Masons will be available to speak to visitors about the charitable work they do and what it means to be a Mason. Uxbridge Township’s own Thomas Foster was a Mason, and Masonic symbols are reflected in the architecture of the Byzantine-style Memorial
that he built in 1936 just north of town. Follow up your visit to the Freemasonry exhibit with a visit to the Foster Memorial to see how Masonic symbols influenced the design of this fascinating building. This new travelling exhibit was created by the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre with assistance from local Masons’ Lodges in their area. Uxbridge’s Zeredatha Lodge No. 220 has partnered with the Uxbridge Historical Centre to bring this exhibit to our township to “promote the knowledge, appreciation and understanding of Masonic history, and Freemasonry’s influence on our society today.” Items from Zeredatha Lodge No. 220 will be on display and bring a local perspective to the exhibit’s Uxbridge appearance. Visitors to the exhibit will learn about the history of Freemasonry through text panels, framed photographs and lithographs; regalia and commemorative items, and textiles including hats, aprons,
collars and cuffs worn by Masons from Apprentice level to Grand Master, and from other parts of the world. Along with commentary and artifacts from Uxbridge Township, this exhibit will help you separate fact from fiction and shed light on an organization often seen as shrouded with mystery A tour of the Freemasonry exhibit is included in regular tours of the Uxbridge Historical Centre from Wednesday to Sunday and holidays from 10am to 4pm. Regular tour rates apply: $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and youth, $3 for children, and family rates of $14. Group tours can be arranged, please contact the Historical Centre at 905-852-5854 to make arrangements. The Historical Centre is located at 7239 Concession Rd. 6, just north of Brock Street. This exhibit is on loan only until September 29, so make plans to visit the Uxbridge Historical Centre while the mystery of Freemasonry is here for you to discover.
