Shooting 4 Food supports Loaves and Fishes DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard
UXBRIDGE: Just in time for Halloween, a local youth is planning a fundraiser in support of the Loaves and Fishes Food Bank that will pit survivors against a horde of zombies. After a successful event last year, 13-year-old Uxbridge resident Hayden Princes is bringing back the ‘Shooting 4 Food’ event to Uxbridge Shooting Sports on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The event will again use Airsoft guns and biodegradable pellets, and after the success of the inaugural event last year, Mr. Prince is aiming even higher this year, hoping to raise $5,000 and 2,000 items for the local Food Bank, and have 250 participants for the event, after bringing in 700 items and more than $2,000 last year with 98 participants. “Last year went well, so we’ve upped our expectations this year,” Mr. Prince, a Grade 8 student at Joseph Gould P.S. said during a presentation to Council-

lors in September. Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor praised Mr. Prince for his willingness to get involved in his community, as well as to Uxbridge Shooting Sports for supporting the endeavour and allowing it to be covered under their insurance policy. “Hayden, you’re an example of the great youth we have growing up in our community,” commented Mayor O’Connor.

SCUGOG: Sixteen candidates running for election in Scugog Township and the Durham Region attended a debate at the Latcham Centre in Port Perry, on Wednesday, Oct. 8. Held by the Port Perry Seniors Club, the debate allowed a full house of local citizens to pose their questions to the electoral hopefuls - and hear their strategies - should they be elected on Oct. 27. Opening up the debate was a question posed to mayoral candidates Chuck Mercier and Tom Rowett, asking what their vision of Scugog was in ten years time. “In the past four years, my Council and I have made plans for 20 years of growth in Scugog,” said Mayor Mercier. “In 10 years, we will have the infrastructure, homes and industry we need to grow Scugog - and will likely be planning for even more prosperity.” Mayor Mercier noted that even during economic slowdown, Scugog has seen growth. Local business owner Tom Rowett rebuttled Mayor Mercier’s comment - stating that statistics show Scugog operating at a very low efficiency of 15.6 per-cent. “I see opportunities in our Township to tweak numbers and lower our costs and spending, to get our bank books in order,” said Mr. Rowett. “If we pay close attention to the cash flow, we can grow and expand carefully during the next 10 years.” For the first time this year, the position of Regional Chair will be an elected position, and five hopefuls were in attendance to discuss Scugog Township’s role in Regional politics. The candidates faced the spotlight when a local resident questioned the lack of contact from the candidates, and asked how they would ensure that Scugog’s voice remain heard on the Regional level. Candidate Michael Deegan was first to respond, stating his preference for faceto-face interactions, and paying attention to the details in a mass of land as large as Durham Region. TURN TO PAGE 4

Candidates for the Scugog municipal election sit facing the crowd inside the Latcham Centre, durBENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard ing a debate held by the Port Perry Seniors Club on Wednesday, Oct. 8. F RO M PAG E 1
“I don’t want to just mail out flyers, it’s important to me to meet people and answer their questions in person,” said Mr. Deegan. Lynn Porteous, another hopeful Regional Chairperson, supported the power of democracy - explaining that, if elected, it would be her duty to ensure the voice of every voter was heard. “As the daughter of a soldier I am proud to see that 82 per-cent of residents voted that the position of Regional Chair should be elected and not appointed,” said Ms. Porteous. “I would ensure that the frustrations of people in Scugog are heard.” Mr. Peter Neal chose to forgo the aid of a microphone and instead loudly denounced the work of incumbent Roger Anderson - stating that Mr. Anderson has been
in office for too long, and would “sell-out Scugog.” Barbara Pulst was next to respond, stating “this is an inaugaral run for a very important position - the campagining process has been difficult this year, but we’re moving in the right direction.” Incumbent Regional Chairperson Roger Anderson explained his tendancy to attend Council meetings in North Durham, and mail out literature to his constituents - ensuring that lines of communication are supported between Scugog Township and the Durham Region. “Brock, Uxbridge and Scugog will retain their six seats at Regional Council and will keep their voice when the seats are redistributed,” said Mr. Anderson. “If they want to take seats away from the south end, I’ll tell them where to take
them from - but the North will not be touched.” One local resident, reffering to Fall as ‘Orange Paint Season,’ asked mayoral candidates why the Township’s work on the sidewalks is contracted out and not done by Township staff - as well as how each candidate plans to address the crumbling concrete. Mayor Mercier defended the Township’s decision, explaining that the Township puts out an annual tender for the sidewalks most in need of repairs - and chooses the one with the best value, quality and price. “These sidewalks didn’t crumble in 2014, we were given them - so we do our best to fix what we can,” said Mayor Mercier. “The spray paint doesn’t only mark the cracks, but is sprayed to warn pedestrians.” Candidate Tom Rowett
held a position of safety, no matter the cost - explaining that money can be found through efficiencies, in order to fix the aging sidewalks en-masse. “As a resident, I’ve seen the same orange paint on the same cracks, year-afteryear,” said Mr. Rowett. “We need to make sure our walking children and seniors are safe - especially during the winter - even if it means going into debt.” To see an introductory column and platform from each Scugog municipal election candidate, please visit The Standard on-line at http://thestandardnewspaper.weebly.com/candidatecolumns.html. Election ballots must be returned via mail or to the Port Perry Municipal Office, 181 Perry St., by Tuesday, Oct. 27.

The event will take place, rain or shine, on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 8 a.m. to noon, at the Municipal Boat Launch, located at 2 Old Rail Lane, in Port Perry.

commodities such as steel, aluminium, copper, glass and plastic will be melted or processed as raw materials for future production. To provide Durham residents with a convenient, free collection service to properly recycle their electronics, while keeping toxic materials out of the landfill. Acceptable items include, but are not limited to: cellular phones, audio and video players, VCRs and DVD players, stereos and receivers, computer peripherals, printing devices, televisions, personal digital assistants and pagers, cameras and radios, telephones, desktop computers, monitors, camcorders and portable computers.
Residents are reminded to erase personal data from their hard drives and SIM cards in order to delete sensitive or personal information before bringing their computers, cellphones and other electronics for recycling. Residents can also drop off ewaste items at any of Durham Region’s Waste Management Facilities year-round during regular hours of operation; loads containing only e-waste will be accepted free of charge.

CAESAREA by Eleanor Colwell Each year, Lions clubs around the world proudly sponsor the Lions International Peace Poster Contest in local schools and youth groups. This art contest for kids encourages young people worldwide to express their visions of peace. For more than 25 years, millions of children from nearly 100 countries have participated in the contest. Again this year, under the direction of Mrs. Morrow, students from grades 6, 7 and 8 at Cartwright Central Public School will participate in this contest. The theme this year is “Peace, Love, and Understanding.” Each poster is judged on originality, artistic merit, and expression of the theme. Posters advance though various
levels of judging; the first being locally at the school in early November. The next level, the District level, will be in Newmarket on Nov. 15. Then there is Multiple District or Provincial level, and finally International. At the International level, judges from the art, peace, youth, education and media communities select one grand prize winner and 23 merit award winners. The International prize winner is presented with a prize of $5000 and a trip to a special award ceremony. Each of the 23 merit award winners will receive a cash award of $500, and a certificate of achievement.

The Senior choir’s anthem “I Give Thanks”, and Pauline Reed’s Mission Minute – a brief update of M&S money support to Haiti since the 2010 earthquake disaster, the children’s Bible Jeopardy answers by Keaton and Sophie, the message “Thank You” made this service special.

ZEPHYR & SANDFORD by Pat Asling What a beautiful Thanksgiving Weekend we had, and how very much we have to be thankful for here. The trees are in full colour, the flowers are in full bloom (even if touched a little by frost) the harvests good, what more could we ask for? The Official Board of Sandford/Zephyr met Monday night at Zephyr, with Rev. Elizabeth Cunningham in attendance. Tuesday evening was the official opening of the newly renovated Uxbridge Public Library, particularly the new Compton Resource room with 20 new monitors and computer ensconces. David Philips of the Library Board was the MC for the gathering, thanking Ron and Nancy Compton for their generous donation. Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor added her thanks. Downstairs, Ron ceremonially turned on the computers. The up-
per hall has also been painted and re-designed with a seating area inside the doors and the librarians’ desks moved to the south. On Wednesday evening, the choir had their first practice of the season and welcomed Al Sopel to the group. Happy to report that Margaret Hackner has been back at Quail Creek Retirement for almost two weeks now and getting along well. Dorothy Risebrough is also back at home and gaining strength. Best wishes to others still battling health issues. The Cox Family celebrated two happy occasions on Sunday. Sunday morning, Robert and Renee Cox had their lovely baby christened at Greenbank church. Later, the family met at the home of Janet and Jamie Rose to co-celebrate the 45th wedding anniversary of Gloria (nee Cox) and Sandy Ewen.
Congratulations! Congrats also to LeeAnne and David Ball who celebrated their 18th anniversary with a trip for the family on a Disney Cruise. Happy birthday to Nan Hill!

We know that when we all work together, we can make a difference. The shortage of medical supplies is a big concern.

There is a box at the back of the sanctuary for donations.
Rick McAskill thanked everyone who has helped him over the past few weeks as he recovered from hip surgery. He read a “Thank You” from Monica and Kevin Martyn to the Seagrave Community for their donations to help with the building of a school in Panama. Rick also thanked everyone who turned out on Saturday afternoon to do a “clean-up” downstairs. The Congregation sang Happy Birthday to Ken Sturman and Jean Short. Rev.

Compton family gives boost to Hospital Foundation SCUGOG: Four years ago this November, the Compton family found out how critical it is to have a hospital close at hand. “My stepfather was diagnosed with terminal cancer,” recalls Nancy Compton. “The personal care he received was incredible, and the wonderful Dr. Stephen Russell and staff helped our family through this most difficult and trying time. I can’t imagine having to commute to a hospital outside the area every day while coping with the stress of a an end-of-life illness.” The couple already had very strong feelings about their local hospital. “It is the focal point of our community,” says Ron, “and a reflection of the nature of our community. Our hospital is remarkable for a small town and we have attracted some of the best doctors in the country. We are truly blessed. Few things are more important to the quality of your life than good health care.” Nancy agrees. “Having a community hospital is essential to local health and wellbeing. It promotes close patient-doctor relationships and ultimately better patient care. If you go to a hospital in another centre, you see a doctor who doesn’t know you. In Port Perry, your doctor is across the street, and checks on you every day. It makes your care so much more personal. Especially when you have a parent dying of cancer.” When her stepfather was in palliative care, Nancy acted as the primary contact. “I spoke with Dr. Russell every day. If I missed him at the hospital, he would call my cell phone. After my stepdad died, he took
my mom on as a patient because he knew what she’d been through and he understood what she needed.” It’s that kind of personalized, compassionate health care – available in our hospital and across the road at Medical Associates – that makes people like Ron and Nancy choose to live in Port Perry. The two met in town over lunch in 1979. Nancy was living in Uxbridge and working for animal control when she got a call about a husky on the loose in Caesarea. After a frustrating three-hour chase, she and the animal control officer – a friend of Ron’s – stopped in at the Port Perry Dairy for a replenishing bite to eat and bumped into Ron. Over the course of the meal he mentioned that his dog had run off. When he told them it was a husky, Nancy said, “We’ve been chasing that darn dog all morning!” The couple were married in 1980. Originally from the city, Ron and Nancy fell in love with Port Perry’s smalltown atmosphere and sense of community. “We both prefer rural living after growing up in Scarborough and Toronto and we felt it was a great place to raise a family.” Now retired, they have no plans to pull up stakes. “We’re going to haunt this place when we’re gone,” jokes Ron. The Comptons – Ron and Nancy, and later daughter Nicole and son Brook – owned and operated Compton Communications in Port Perry and Uxbridge for almost 40 years. When they sold the company in March of 2011, they established the Compton Family Foun-
dation to give back to the communities that supported them in business for so many years. “We feel very fortunate to be able to help the communities we love to continue to grow and prosper,” says Nancy, “particularly these days, when donation dollars are scarce.” Through their foundation, the Compton Family is making a significant donation to the Port Perry Hospital Foundation’s ‘Your Hospital, Your Future’ campaign, to revitalize the aging inpatient wing at Lakeridge Health Port Perry. This renovation is crucial, the Compton’s believe, to keep our hospital current with the latest standards and technology – and to keep our world-class team of physicians, surgeons and anaesthetists practicing here in town. “We feel that anyone who lives in this community needs to show their support for their local hospital,” says Nancy. “Your investment will help to purchase stateof-the-art equipment, update our inpatient wing, add more palliative care rooms, which are desperately needed, and insure we maintain the quality of care our community deserves by keeping good qualified doctors in the area.” “We’re contributing to the ‘Your Hospital, Your Future’ campaign to make sure this project is a success,” says Ron, “but the Port Perry Hospital Foundation needs your contribution, too. We want our donation to be a challenge to the rest of the town to step up to the plate with us. Unfortunately, there will come a time when you need your hospital. Right now, your hospital needs you.”

EDITORIAL No endorsements here As regular readers of The Standard will recall, we recently celebrated our 10th anniversary. In all that time, for reasons that were not clear to our current Editor, we have carefully avoided any mention of some of our competitors, namely those owned by media conglomerate Metroland Media. That all changes this week, after the Port Perry Star and Uxbridge Times-Journal offered endorsements for incumbent Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor and her Scugog counterpart, Chuck Mercier in their Editorials last week. If you came here looking for the same, you will be sadly disappointed. Because we at The Standard have always avoided that Costco-sized can of worms and will continue to do so. Some newspapers make a point of endorsing candidates, and it’s a long-standing practice in this industry that has had great influence on a number of elections. It’s just not one that makes any sense when you are operating a community newspaper. We’re not the Toronto Star, we’re not the Globe and Mail, and we don’t want to be. Our mission here is to do our best to bring you news that matters locally, not half-hearted attempts to tell you who you should vote for. We trust that our readers are informed and intelligent enough to make that choice on their own. Not to bow to the whims of an Editor based out of Oshawa, in a newspaper that has had next to no election coverage in the first place, so you have to wonder just where they’re getting their election news from. Odds are they aren’t digging through 30 flyers to get to it.
Your opinion matters Send us an e-mail to standarddarryl@powergate.ca or a letter to: The Standard, 94A Water St., Port Perry ON L9L 1J2
Fashion show a success House Tour helps out To the Editor, On Sunday Sept. 21, Uxbridge Historical Centre presented historian Nancy MacLeod’s Victorian Fashion Show as a fundraiser for the Centre. An enthusiastic crowd at the Uxbridge Seniors’ Centre learned all about Victorian fashions and traditions while enjoying delicious treats and teas from ‘Steeped Tea’. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success – our volunteer models and dresser, the servers and set-up help from La-
dies Lounge, and of course our enthusiastic audience! Thank you to the local businesses and community groups who generously donated prizes for the event - Avon, Curves Uxbridge, Cutie Pies and Cakes, Ladies Lounge, Nancy MacLeod, OnStage Uxbridge, Provincial Beverages of Canada, Quilters’ Cupboard, Scentsy, Steeped Tea, Sugar FX, the Uxbridge-Scott Historical Society.

To the Editor, How does one continue to say Thank You to such a supportive community? I thought long and hard and there is no word other than Thank You. “You make the world a better place by your support.” The Outreach Committee of the Port Perry and Prince Albert churches would like to do just that for all of the people who helped make this year’s 6th Annual House Tour a success. Thanks to generous business people who sponsored homes, the wonderful people who of-
Political decency To the Editor,
fered their beautiful homes and gardens, the hundreds of volunteers and of course all of the lovely patrons who continue to tour our homes and gardens. We say Thank You. Our profits will see $10,000 and all of that money will go to the four charities this event supports. We give a helping hand up to many in circumstantial need and provide that with integrity and respect.
It’s a sad day for politics when residents are expressing their displeasure of some of the candidates with unsigned letters and signs being placed in the community. If they really feel they have a problem with a candidate have the decency to direct the concerns to the person involved, and sign your names to anything to place around our community ie: on lawns or cars. I would like to offer my support to any candidate who is being treated in such a disgusting manner.

Uxbridge’s Ward 4 sees strong competition UXBRIDGE: With just days left for residents to cast their ballots in the municipal election, one candidate has been taking a back-tobasics approach to navigating the campaign trail. Ward 4 candidate Fred Bryan has been pounding the pavement for several weeks in an effort to knock on every door in the area, in an effort to gauge the wants and needs of the community. “I’ve been out asking people what’s important to them, because the concerns are different to people on South Balsam and Coral Creek. There are issues that apply to all, but I want to talk about specific issues,” Mr. Bryan told The Standard. The father of a 14-year-old daughter, Mr. Bryan has been involved for several years with both minor hockey and youth soccer, which he feels will give him valuable experience should he be elected. “Through youth sports, I have experience dealing with opposing viewpoints and almost having to act as a mediator looking for the greater good,” added Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan is facing tough competition for the Ward 4 seat at the council bench in Conrad Boyce and Dave Granic. Mr. Boyce formerly served as a Councillor in Whitehorse while living in the Yukon during the 1980s, and Mr. Granic is an experienced businessman, and owns the local Boston Pizza franchise. Mr. Granic has offered to give up golf, as a testament to his commitment to the duties of Ward Councillor. While, Mr. Boyce has been actively involved in the local arts scene for almost two decades, penning several productions based on local history. The Ward 4 seat is the lone position on council to not have an incumbent seeking reelection, as Councillor Jacob Mantle is not running for another term. “I really like what Jacob did during his four years, and whoever gets in will have big shoes to fill,” commented Mr. Bryan. Local voters have until Saturday, Oct. 18 to drop their completed ballots into the mailbox to ensure delivery to Town Hall by Oct. 27. Ballots can be dropped off in-person at Uxbridge Town Hall until Monday, Oct. 27.
Youth Halloween writing contest NORTH DURHAM: The Standard is pleased to announce a ‘spooktacular’ new contest just in time for Halloween. Until 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 17, aspiring young writers under the age of 14 are asked to submit a spooky short story (500 words or less) for the chance to be published in an upcoming edition of The Standard as well as win an e-reader. Stories can be about anything Halloween-related and submitted to standarddarryl@powergate.ca for the chance to win this latest contest from “the voice of North Durham.”

Walk Softly Geoff carpentier
Otters and their kin I live in the country surrounded by nature and am so inspired that I sometimes have trouble doing my chores since my world is so full of wonderful things to see and study. I love it up here in the hinterland as I am near forests, ponds, steams, marshes, farmer’s fields and the lovely and green towns of Uxbridge and Port Perry – Nature at its best! A large forest persists near my property and hosts two or three cold water streams, two ponds and lovely upland and lowland woods. The diversity of the habitat attracts many interesting animals and birds. The other day, I was treated to the sight of two River Otters swimming and hunting in one of the ponds. The next day, when I went to check on them, they had moved overland and were now in the other pond. Small fish and lots of frogs can be found in these waters, so food is abundant for them. The River Otter is our second largest weasel, but smaller than its extremely uncommon relative, the Wolverine, which is found only in the remotest part of Ontario and northern Canada. The Striped Skunk, Long and Short-tailed Weasels, Fisher and Mink are also kin found in our area. Beyond our borders the Badger, Least Weasel, Pine Marten, Sea Otter and Black-faced Ferret round out the slate of Canadian weasels. The otters are touted as being playful and when one watches them that certainly comes across as true. They run and chase each other, do acrobatic turns on land and in the water and slide down muddy and snowy embankments enthusiastically and seemingly without purpose. Few animals actually play, but sometimes I think that’s exactly what these critters are up to. They are superbly adapted for their aquatic lifestyle – sporting short dense waterproof fur, long sleek bodies, thick tapered tails, short powerful legs, webbed feet and small heads and ears make them ideal swimmers and masters of the water. In fact, they are rarely seen far from water where they hunt fish - their primary
Singing the Blues There has been a lot of talk lately about professional football, and not much of it has been positive. Between domestic violence incidents, concussions and other issues both on and off the field, there hasn’t been a lot to cheer about lately for most football fans. Add to it that my favourite team, the Washington Redskins has been embroiled in an ongoing controversy about their name. Oh, and they are, once again pitiful on the field. So, while the Redskins were getting stepped on by a score of 45-14 against the New York Giants last month, I decided to walk away from football. Now, this doesn’t mean I’ve given up watching entirely, just that I have really scaled back how much time I’ve invested in following it and in its place, I’ve started following football. Or as you may call it, soccer. This all started last spring when I found out that we would be taking a family vacation to London for my sister-in-law Laurel’s wedding, right as the Premier League season was starting up again. Wanting to experience as much English culture as I possibly could, I quickly made up my mind that I’d have to attend a football match while across the pond. The only issue left was that I didn’t have a team to root for. This wasn’t as easy as I first thought, since there are six Premier League teams based in London, so I spent way

food source. Occasionally, particularly in winter, they may undertake long overland treks that might be linked to breeding, but the reason for the journey is only speculative as no sound evidence as to why they wander has been determined as yet. Breeding takes place from January to May, with most young born in March or April. Like many predators, they utilize a process called delayed implantation to ensure a healthy survival rate of the offspring. This simply is a process whereby the female is fertilized by a male but the eggs may not be implanted in the uterus for several months until food becomes abundant. Breeding commences when the females are about one year old and the males five or six. Breeding may continue up to the age of 10 to 12 years in the wild. Interestingly the female will drive the male off shortly after the young are born and then she raises them alone for a few weeks. Finally she invites the male back when the young are about six months old to assist with rearing. This may be a defense mechanism to protect the young from aggressive males that often kill their own young. Development is slow and the young don’t even open their eyes until they are about three-and-ahalf to five weeks old. At about three months of age, they venture from the den and immediately start the long process of learning how to hunt and swim. Food consists mostly of fish, as stated, but is supplemented with crayfish, turtles, amphibians, snakes, waterfowl, muskrats, other small mammals and invertebrates. I love watching these playful predators as they seem to play hide-and-seek with me as they bob, dive and sneak a peak at me as I watch from my vantage point on the shores of my little lake.

Up All Knight too much time going through the process of deciding which team would become “my team.” The first team I crossed off was West Ham. They play on the opposite side of London as we were staying, and have never really won anything. I’m already a Leafs fan and wanted to stay away from adding anymore misery to my life. The next was Arsenal, who also play far from where we were staying in Maida Vale, and everyone I’ve ever met wearing anything Arsenal was kind of a jerk. Crystal Palace have a pretty cool name, but they play far from the city centre and are always a candidate to be relegated out of the Premier League, so citing the ‘I’m already a Toronto sports fan - no new misery rule’ they were out. Tottenham were in contention for awhile before bowing out due to their location and their historical ‘middleof-the-packness.’ Fulham seemed like they might sneak through until they were relegated. Queen’s Park Rangers were pretty close to us geographically, but they were just promoted, and look like they’ll be heading back to the Championship next season, so I dodged a bullet there. So, that left Chelsea. They were the closest team to where we were staying, a

perennial contender; a nice jersey, proud history. I know it may seem like a bandwagon jumper move, and honestly, I’m fine with that. I have been cheering for the Leafs my whole life and deserve to root for a winner. I didn’t get to actually attend a game - Laurel and Jan’s wedding was on Saturday, Aug. 30, and every team in England played that same day - but my father-in-law Rob and I did take a stadium tour at their grounds, the historic Stamford Bridge. And now, with Chelsea appearing to run away with the Premier League title this season, I couldn’t have made a better choice. After all the miserable Sundays spent agonizing over the Redskins, it’s a welcome relief to be able to tune in on Saturday or Sunday morning expecting a win, which is something I’ve rarely experienced with American football, plus it’s almost always wrapped up by 2 p.m. And during the week, there is the occasional Champions League game to keep me occupied. So, if football is getting you down, don’t be afraid to look for an alternative an ocean away.

This sign, located in Putsey Park, marks the future site of the Caesarea Skateboard Park for Kids. The sign was vandalized with red spray paint sometime on the evening of Saturday, Oct. 4. BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard
SCUGOG: The committee behind the Caesarea Skateboard Park for Kids was left reeling last week, when they discovered that the sign marking the future site in Putsey Park was vandalized. A large red circle-backslash or ‘No’ symbol was spray painted in bright red, over the recently erected sign sometime during the night of Saturday, Oct. 4. The sign, which proudly reads “Future Site of the Caesarea Skateboard Park
for Kids,” also lists the projects supporting fundraisers - including the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Hydro One, and The Township of Scugog. “The CSP Committee and Township of Scugog are saddened by this act of vandalism. The Committee does not feel that it was done by teenagers, only by people wanting to blame the teens, as it was an act of protest, based on the graffiti that was left,” read a press release from the charity group. At press-time, the graffiti had been speedily removed by Township staff, and has been reverted back to its original condition. “There are a couple of cameras around the area, and once the individuals have been identified, we hope they will get a bill from the Township,” said the CSP Committee. “It would be great if we could all act as adults and discuss this instead of acting like
children and sulking.” For those interested in supporting the cause, the CSP has recently embarked on an on-line fundraising initiative, called Aviva - where the group will collect votes to pass through three qualifying rounds. “The Kids of Caesarea want to get their skateboard park built and we need more funds,” said Susie Bollon, a member of the CSP Committee. “By voting on-line each day, we can make this happen. All you have to do is log onto www.avivacommunityfund. org/ideas/acf19968 and register your vote.” While saddened by the act of vandalism, the CSP Committee told The Standard that they would continue to campaign to bring a skateboard park to the youth and families of Caesarea, and are thankful for the continuing support of their sponsors and the community at-large.

Rotarians launch ‘Coins for Polio’ SCUGOG: To raise awareness and critically-needed funds to fight the crippling disease polio, the Rotary Club of Port Perry will hold its annual “Coins for Polio” day this month. “We are getting a head start on Rotary’s World Polio Day (officially Oct. 24) holding our local ‘Coins for Polio’ campaign on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014. You may see a Rotarian collecting coins in front of a Port Perry business on that day and would appreciate your support”, explained Bob Brownson, President of the Rotary Club of Port Perry. The Club’s Coins Campaign raises much needed funding for Rotary International, the volunteer fundraising arm of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative—a publicprivate partnership that also includes the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This donation was tripled thanks to a 2-to-1 match by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, given through a current fundraising partnership with Rotary. “Through the magic of 2-to-1 matching donations, all local donations of Loonies, Toonies and even those pesky pennies, will turn into greater funds to support this great initiative,” added Brownson. Overall, remarkable progress has been achieved in the fight against polio. Since 1988, the number of polio cases has been reduced 99% from 350,000 a year to about 400 in 2013. In 2014, Southeast Asia was certified polio-free after India eliminated the disease from its borders, an incredible feat for a country once considered the hardest place on earth to stop polio. However, in 2014, the Director-General of the World Health Organization declared polio to be a public health emergency of international concern. As such, WHO urges polio-impacted countries to ensure travelers leaving their borders are immunized against the disease. This decision puts additional measures in place to ensure we protect our incredible progress against the disease, and also end the remaining 1per-cent of cases. President Brownson said, “Rotary is a humanitarian service organization with nearly 34,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas, and has made polio eradication its top priority in 1985. Rotary has since contributed US$1.3 billion, and its members have logged countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries.” A highly infectious disease, polio still strikes children mainly under the age of five in parts of Africa and South Asia. Polio can cause paralysis and sometimes death. There is no cure for polio, but for as little as 60 cents worth of oral vaccine, a child can be protected from the disease for life. For further information on the Oct. 18 event, please contact Bob Brownson by e-mail at bob.brownson@ sympatico.ca, by phone at 905447-4068, or visit the Rotary Club of Port Perry online at www.rotaryclubofportperry.com.

Bruins bounce back to shoplift a win from Merchants DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard
The Uxbridge Bruins were able to bounce back after a 7-4 loss at home to the Georgina Ice on Friday, Oct. 10, as they downed the Little Britain Merchants by a score of 3-1 the following evening. The Bruins got off to a rough start of Friday night, with team captain Carter Vahey ejected for checking from behind just 39 seconds into the game. The game was then delayed briefly due to an issue with the Zamboni doors, which was quickly addressed by the staff at Uxrena. Almost six minutes into the action, with the Bruins killing a penalty, Dylan Locke intercepted a pass and raced down the boards into the offensive zone where he found Daryl Thomson powering through the middle of the ice for a shorthanded goal that gave Uxbridge an early lead. Just over a minute later, and Uxbridge down another skater, Georgina netted a powerplay goal to tie the game. Almost four minutes later, Jarett Smith restored the Bruins’ lead when he corralled a bouncing puck. Bruins netminder Jake Joosten turned aside several scoring chances for Georgina early in the second to maintain a onegoal edge for Uxbridge. Then, near the mid-point of the second period, a nearmiss on a two-on-one for the Ice turned around in a hurry, as Marco Mastrangelo scored at the other end of the ice, finishing off a fantastic rush, with assists to Jarett Smith and Matt Pollard. The Bruins’ two-goal lead wouldn’t last through the second period however, as the Ice netted a pair of goals to tie the game 3-3 after 40 minutes of play. On an early powerplay in the third period, Jordan Nesbitt stepped into a wrist shot that beat the Georgina goalie high to put Uxbridge back in the lead. But, less than three minutes later, a shorthanded goal for Georgina tied the game once again. The tide of the game would turn with just under nine minutes to play, when Alex Siblock collided with the Georgina netminder while racing for a loose puck. Siblock would be charged with a five-minute major penalty for charging, and the Bruins would run into further penalty trouble as the Ice
Bruins netminder Jake Joosten is fooled by this shot from Georgina’s Justin Wain during Uxbridge’s 7-4 loss to the Ice, on Friday, Oct. 10. The Bruins would get back in the win column the following night, skating to a 3-1 win on the road against the Little Britain Merchants. DYNAMIC DESIGNS Special to The Standard scored two powerplay goals to take a two-goal lead. An empty net goal for Georgina would round out the scoring in a 7-4 Bruins loss. A change of venue the following night would result in a change of fortune for the Bruins as they went into Little Britain and walked away with a 3-1 win. First period goals from Connor Evans and Robert ‘Reg’ Freckelton pushed the Bruins to an early lead. Nesbitt’s powerplay goal just over nine minutes into the second period swelled the Bruins’ lead to 3-0. The Merchants would finally get on the board with a powerplay goal early in the third period, but couldn’t solve Branden Francey again as Uxbridge rebounded with a victory. Loose Pucks: - The Clarington Eagles soar into Uxrena for the first time this season on Friday, Oct. 17 at 7:45 p.m., looking to avenge a 5-1 loss to Uxbridge in Bowmanville on Sept. 27. - On Sunday, Oct. 19, the Bruins will head down Reach St. for a 2:25 p.m. ‘Battle of North Durham’ against the Port Perry MoJacks.
Minor Bantam Predators go Dutch DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard
There will be an international flavour to the action at Scugog Arena this weekend, with a team from the Netherlands in town to square off against the Predators in an exhibition game. On Sunday, Oct. 19, the Minor Bantam ‘A’ Predators will face the Tilburg Trappers Under-15 team at 4:30 p.m., following the ‘Battle of North Durham’ between the MoJacks and Uxbridge Bruins on Pad 1. The game is part of a Canadian tour for the Dutch club, who will be spending four days in the GTA and a further four days in Niagara Falls. “This has been in planned for two years, and I’ve had a lot of help from Clair Cornish and Brad Turner in bringing this to Port Perry,” Casey vanSchagen told The Standard. Now in his first year as an Assistant Coach with the Port Perry MoJacks, Blackstock native vanSchagen spent several years playing for the Trappers’ professional team while also coaching in their youth organization before returning home to Scugog Township this past summer. While in the Netherlands, vanSchagen also competed with the Dutch national team. He added that he worked with fellow former MoJack Barry Forth in setting up an exhibition game for the Trappers in Dundas as part of their tour. “This will be a great opportunity for everyone involved, especially those kids getting to travel to Canada, where hockey is as big as soccer is over there,” vanSchagen said. “For me, I’ll get to polish up on my Dutch.” The Minor Bantam Predators are coming off a strong weekend performance at the EdgeAgain Cup Tournament in Whitby, where they advanced to the semi-finals before bowing out against the eventual champs from Barrie.

The Port Perry MoJacks survived a scare over the weekend when they made their first-ever trip to Apsley on Saturday, Oct. 11, for a match-up with the North Kawartha Knights, skating to a come-from-behind 4-3 shootout victory. The Knights would take a 2-0 lead before Ryan Nichols scored late in the first period, assisted by Ryan Bernardes and Liam Schweda to put Port Perry on the board. Todd McNair netted his first goal as MoJack just over seven minutes into the second period to knot the game 2-2 after 40 minutes of play. Just 30 seconds into the third period, the Knights would regain the lead, but it would be short-lived as Graham Lamers converted a pass from Nichols just 40 seconds later to tie the game 3-3. Despite spirited play throughout the remainder of the game into an overtime period, a shootout would be needed to determine the winner. Kyle Powell scored the lone goal of the shootout to propel the MoJacks to victory, with Jeff Julien turning aside all three of the Knights’ opportunities. There would be little time for the team to rest, as they were back on the ice the following afternoon (Sunday, Oct. 11) at Scugog Arena to tangle with the Little Britain Merchants. Akin to the Thanksgiv-
Work Hard and Play Hard!
ing turkeys served over the weekend, the MoJacks found themselves carved up by the Merchants early, as Little Britain netted a shorthanded, even-strength and power play goal to take a 3-0 lead after the first period. Just over six minutes into the middle stanza, a long pass from Andrew Crichton made it through a throng of red jerseys and onto Powell’s stick at the Little Britain blue line, and he streaked in on goal, scoring his fourth goal of the season to bring Port Perry to within two goals. Brett Doble would score a late powerplay goal, restoring a three-goal lead for Little Britain at the end of the second period. Almost four minutes into the third period, the MoJacks would once again cut the Merchants’ lead to two, when Eric MacDonald won a battle for a loose puck, and found Konrad Piorkowski all alone in front of the net, and he eluded Merchants goalie Garrett Haden to score his fourth of the 2014-15 campaign. However, that would be as close as the MoJacks would get. Blake Shaw prevented the Merchants from adding
to their lead, but the home side was unable to convert their scoring chances down the stretch, falling by a final score of 4-2. Following the game, MoJacks Head Coach Clair Cornish was blunt when describing his team’s performance. “We didn’t come ready to play,” Cornish told The Standard. “We had our chances to score, but we have to be better on our second attempts and score dirty goals.” Cornish did however, offer praise for the performance put in by Bernardes, Nichols and Lamers the previous evening against the Knights. “For us to be successful, we have to have all 20 guys going every shift. Those guys bring it, and they lead by example, and that’s what we need,” added Cornish. Loose Pucks: - The MoJacks travel to Keswick on Friday, Oct. 17, for a 7:30 p.m. tilt with the Georgina Ice. - On Sunday, Oct. 19, the MoJacks will be back at Scugog Arena for a ‘Battle of North Durham’ against the rival Uxbridge Bruins at 2:25 p.m.

SUNDERLAND by Denise Wilson The summer just flew by, with most of us waiting for a long stretch of hot weather which never came. But, we continued on. There was Blue Rodeo in town, the Lions Car Draw, Beach volleyball in the park, the Fall Fair, Demolition Derby etc. There were many weddings over the summer and one in particular transformed our old arena into a ‘fantasy garden’ and guests could not believe their own eyes. Sad to say there were also some very sad days as we lost some of our most dedicated community citizens: Harry Nixon, Ross Miller and Joyce Brandon just to name a few. They will all be missed. Now we are into Fall and ‘turkey time’, where we meet and greet our neighbors and talk about all the summer news, while many were away at cottages and on vacations.
This Sunday (Oct. 19) a Fall Farm Bus Tour is leaving from the Sunderland Historical Society building at 1 p.m. This will be a three hour tour of three local farms. Included on the tour is Jim and Dave Smith’s farm, a large cash crop and grain elevator farm; Ted English’s farm with world champion Belgian horses, milk trucking, and Ted Smith’s farm, a large operation with the robotic milkers. The cost of the tour is $15, to book a seat for a very interesting afternoon, call Ted Smith at 705-357-2427. Friday Oct. 24, is the Wick Church Turkey Dinner, with 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. seatings. Tickets are $18 for Adults, and children under 10 are $5. Please contact 705-357-1375 to reserve a spot. St. Andrew’s United Church in our village
have their monthly ‘Movie Night’ on Oct. 24, starting at 7 p.m. Seniors and children seem to just love a good movie and free snacks to boot! You will then have Wednesday, Oct. 29, to look forward to from 4:30 p.m. on, because that is St Andrew’s annual Turkey Dinner with all the trimmings including Plum Pudding! And then we have November to look forward to and that includes ‘possibly snow’ but the best part the live auction at St. Andrew’s United Church on Saturday, Nov. 15. See you all ‘out and about’ and hope that you all had a lovely Thanksgiving! Quote for right now: “An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day” - Irv Kupcinet.

We Scare Hunger drive this October SCUGOG: Taylor Ford and Free The Children are teaming up to take down hunger this month through the We Scare Hunger campaign, which will collect non-perishables throughout October to help stock food banks. Taylor Ford is proud to partner with Free The Children for the We Scare Hunger campaign – a national program that is teaming up participating Ford dealerships with schools and community groups to collect nonperishables for local food banks. Taylor Ford encourages residents of Port Perry and the surrounding regions to drop off donations to Taylor Ford at 1565 Hwy. 7A West throughout the month of October. “Hunger is an issue that affects people from all walks of life so the services that food banks provide can make a huge difference for a family going through a difficult time,” said Larry Taylor, dealer principal at Taylor Ford. “In a tight-knit community like Port Perry, it’s everyone’s responsibility to help one another, which is why Taylor Ford is proud to support this worthy cause.” Each year, millions of Canadians use food banks, and last year, one in 12 people in need of help were turned away because of lack of food. Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. is a Co-Title Sponsor of this year’s We Scare Hunger campaign in Canada, a Free The Children initiative dedicated to collecting non-perishable food items to support local food banks, and raising awareness about local hunger. We Scare Hunger is a global initiative kick-started by Free The Children to encourage students and local community groups to contribute to the collective goal of raising one million pounds of non-perishables for local food banks. “We challenged our dealer community to Go Further and rally in support of this important initiative by becoming community donation centres this October,” said Sarah Rae, partnership and events manager for Ford of Canada. “With nearly 200 dealerships participating nationally, the response has been tremendous. We are very are proud of the support we’ve seen from our dealers across the country.” Supporting local charities and community groups has been a priority of Taylor Ford’s since first opening their doors more than 30 years ago. Throughout the dealership’s history in Port Perry, Taylor Ford has supported local parishes, minor hockey associations, hospitals, school fundraisers and food banks. For more information please visit We Scare Hunger and Taylor Ford.

PPHS student releases world-class album ‘Birdsong’ LOCAL ARTIST SOARS WITH BIRDSONG: Cassie Stanton, a Port Perry High School student, will unveil her work on the breathtaking vocal-focused album Birdsong, at an album release party and live concert on Oct. 18 at 7 p.m., at The Honest Lawyer in Whitby. Cassie is one of fifteen young vocal students at The Bird Loft School of Voice who took part in the project. SUBMITTED BY THALER PHOTOS
SCUGOG: Port Perry High School student Cassie Stanton and fourteen young vocal students from The Bird Loft School of Voice, are excited to be releasing their first, multi-genre, full length album, ‘Birdsong.’ On Oct. 18, at 7 p.m. at The Honest Lawyer in Whitby, the artists will perform a live acoustic concert of the album to over 300 guests in a free allages show to celebrate their release. Each student co-wrote and recorded an original track that features breathtaking vocal performances and radio worthy production. ‘Birdsong’ was produced by local Northumberland hit maker, Adam Newcomb of Universal Music Canada, and Warner Brothers Canada. The project was dreamed up two years ago by the students’ voice teacher and ‘Birdsong’ executive
producer, Roberta Michele Quilico, owner of The Bird Loft School Of Voice. Ms. Quilico’s accomplishments also include K-Tel Mini Pop Kids vocal producer, and MTV vocal director for ‘Aaliyah.’ Wanting to provide a unique opportunity for her students to take their talent to the next level, Ms. Quilico oversaw the initiative and it’s artists from start to finish as a labor of love. Songs from the album are already attracting attention. Twelve-year-old Luka and his pop song ‘In The End’ was selected as a top finalist in the national Emerging Artist competition for Canada’s Walk Of Fame. Fifteen-year-old Anthony Young’s country anthem, ‘Our Town’ about Brooklin, has the ear of Whitby City Council thinking community theme
song. The album also features Mini Pop Kids Canada veteran and decorated singer, fifteen-year-old Isabella Santiago and many others who had never set foot in a studio but have now officially become recording artists. Roberta Michele Quilico, also contributed a pop-country duet featuring acclaimed Nashville singer, Joshua Payne. ‘Birdsong’ was a leap of faith created without grants or donations. All sales of the album go towards recording costs and the album has already pre-sold nearly 1,000 units and is expected to sell 2,000 copies by the end of the year. For further information, please visit the group’s Facebook page, at www.facebook.com/birdsongalbum, or visit The Bird Loft on-line at www. thebirdloft.ca.
See The Nature of North Durham art show NORTH DURHAM: Inspired by the beauty of the Durham area, photographers Andris Piebalgs and Martha Weber are launching ‘The Nature of Durham Region,’ an art project that captures special places in Durham. The photographs will be on display for the first time starting Oct. 18 at Cross Roads Art Gallery, located at 23 Laidlaw St. North in Cannington. The exhibition opening will be held from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., and the art will hang until the end of Nov. “We asked people to share with us their favourite place in Durham and why”, said Andris Piebalgs. “We selected
30 unique submissions to portray through fine art photography that we hope fuels an appreciation for this aweinspiring area we all call home.” Photographs were taken this past spring, summer and fall in locations that span the Durham region from Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe. Some locations include spectacular sites like Lynde Creek Marsh and the Trans Canada Trail, as well as unexpected gems like a cow crossing at High Point Road and the touching cenotaph in Courtice displaying a Canadian helmet thought to be from Juno Beach.

“As long-time residents of Durham, this project allowed us to explore and shoot the places that bring people joy, hope and a sense of belonging,” said Martha Weber. “We welcome everyone to experience The Nature of Durham at the Cross Roads Art Gallery.” The Cross Roads Art Gallery opened its doors on July 4, 2014 in beautiful downtown Cannington, Ontario at 23 Laidlaw Street North. The opening exhibit included works from Emerging Moment,
which showed at the Twist Gallery in Toronto. Along with wall hung paintings and photographic prints, the exhibit uses multimedia technology to enhance your experience in a new, unique way. The new Cross Roads Art project celebrates The Nature of Durham Region by exploring the beauty and special places of the region through the use of high resolution fine art photography.
