FIRST LADY VISITS NORTH DURHAM: Laureen Harper, wife of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, spoke at a fundraising gala for the New Animal Shelter for Uxbridge-Scugog on Tuesday, Sept. 9 at the Nestleton Waters Inn. BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

Petition calls for Medd Rd. speed limit adjustment BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

SCUGOG: Many Medd Rd. residents are concerned about speeding traffic through and around Epsom.

Erin Van Dyke, a local mother who resides on the road, gathered a petition of those who live in the area, and presented a deputation to Scugog Council on Monday, Sept. 15.

Ms. Van Dyke said that she feels the 80 Km/H speed limit on the road is too high, given the number of family

homes located along the hilly stretch - as well as frequent farmer’s tractors making use of the shoulder, and the Family Worship Centre churchgoers who use the road.

“I spoke to the DRPS Constable Sue Kelly about my concerns, and the fact that many drivers don’t seem to follow the speed limit anyway, and she asked me to speak to Council,” said Ms. Van Dyke.

Ms. Van Dyke also cited a lack of precautionary signs along the road, and

predicted an increased danger during winter - when snow drifts narrow the road and make low visibility an issue.

Medd Rd. has been made popular for drivers looking to bypass traffic on Reach St., especially during this past summer’s road repair and increased heavy truck traffic.

“I would like to see the speed reduced to 60 or 70 Km/H - with signs posted warning of children and pedestrians,” said Ms. Van Dyke.

NORTH DURHAM: Mail it in, drop it off, call, or donate online. The Standard Newspaper’s annual partnership with the United Way is once again upon us. Your community newspaper is offering this opportunity to “give where you live.” In these difficult and challenging times, neighbours helping neighbours is more important than perhaps at any time in our history. The United Way supports those less advantaged or facing difficulty in hard times. We will do our part in assisting the local campaign and ask all the members in our community to assist to the extent that you are able. When we all do a little, together, we can accomplish a lot.

Earlier this month the Campaign for the United Way in Port Perry and Scugog kicked off with the seventh annual edition of the “Tour de Perry” trike race and BBQ. The event attracted the largest number of teams ever, and community members and public officials were treated to a fun time on a sunny day in front the Township Offices in Port Perry.

The event marks the beginning of the campaign which allows all members of the community to come together in common cause within a single campaign to support many local charities and in so doing make this a better community for all.

“Helping people support their local community in the most efficient and effective fashion possible is at the core of what we do” said local Port Perry United Way manager Cheryl Henderson. The United Way is all about “driving donor value”. Donations are invested in the agencies in your local community and support agencies which provide services to members of our community.

Among the local Scugog charities supported are: Big Brothers and Big Sisters of North Durham, Community Living Durham North, Community Care Durham, Precious Minds Support Services and North House Shelter. Additionally, funds raised from across Durham support more than 35 charities which provide services which aid members of our community when they may face difficult times.

Fresh challenges for new CAO SCUGOG: The Council of the Township of Scugog is pleased to announce that Mr. Ian Roger, P. Eng. was recently appointed to the position of Chief Administration Officer.

Mr. Roger previously held the position of Director of Public Works and Parks & Deputy CAO with the Township and has been with the organization for four years.

Mr. Roger replaces the Township’s previous CAO, Ms. Bev Hendry, who had led the organization for the past nine years.

“Succession planning, in addition to organizational and community knowledge, and technical expertise, are considerations that Council reviewed carefully before

making the decision to appoint Ian,” said Scugog’s Mayor Chuck Mercier.

“Council is confident and unanimous in its decision that Ian is the right person for the job, and will be an effective leader as the organization faces the many challenges and opportunities ahead.”

An engineer by profession with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Civil Engineering, Ian has held progressively senior leadership positions in both the public and private sectors.

“Effective communication and addressing the objectives Council sets will be my priority as Scugog continues to meet the current needs of residents and prepare for the future” says Mr. Roger.

With the municipal election only two months away, one of the first priorities Mr. Roger will be addressing is assisting the new Council with an update of its corporate plan - and aiding the new Council with their future projects.

Specific challenges that Mr. Roger will be faced with include preparing for the new development growth that will result from the Nonquon Sewage Treatment Plant becoming operational - and the ongoing financial strains on the municipality, including a substantial infrastructure deficit.

Mr. Roger and Mayor Mercier are available for comments by calling (905) 985-7346.

NORTH DURHAM: Lace up your sneakers, because the area’s biggest Walk-A-Thon is returning on Saturday, Sept. 27 in support of the New Animal Shelter for Uxbridge-Scugog.

The second annual Walk-A-Thon is set to begin at 9:30 a.m. on Sept.

27, with walkers departing from either the Uxbridge Seniors Centre or Scugog Arena and travelling seven kilometres to Epsom Public School - which will be decorated as a doghouse for the occasion - and

enjoy a barbecue from the Bonner Boys, along with entertainment and other family and animalfriendly activities.

Registration for the Walk-AThon takes place at either starting location on Friday, Sept. 26 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and on the day of the Walk-A-Thon, starting at 8 a.m.

Pledge forms can be found inside this week’s edition of The Standard.

Uxbridge Regional Councillor Jack Ballinger, who is also one of the organizers of the event recently told The Standard that, “everything is lined up great for this

year’s Walk-A-Thon.” And, that he is hopeful that the event will be able to surpass the more than $23,000 raised in 2013, at the inaugural event, with even more two-legged and four-legged participants.

Durham Region Transit buses will be travelling behind both groups to provide an opportunity for tired walkers and their pets to rest. As well, there will be comfort stations throughout the route to allow participants to pause for a break.

Scugog’s newly appointed CAO and current Director of Works and Parks, Ian Roger, explained the political process of lowering speeds on a rural road - but said it would take some time.

“The Highway Traffic Act states that a rural road is designated as an 80 Km/H zone, it is up to the local Township to decide whether the speed should be decreased,” said Mr. Roger.

Mr. Roger went on the explain that Medd Rd. has just recently seen a safety audit, which did not raise any flags, due to it’s low traffic volume and fair road condition.

Councillors thanked Ms. Van Dyke for her presenta-

tion, and Ward 2 Councillor John Hancock mentioned that he has heard similiar stories of speeding motorists, from those living along the nearby Scugog Line 6.

“This reminds me of the Deering sister’s incident in 2004, where the Township was found to have culpability due to poor road conditions,” said Councillor Hancock. “I would hate for another accident to occur, after the Township decided not to take action.”

Mr. Roger notified council that the Township’s Works Department could set up monitoring equipment on the stretch, which would measure traffic volumes and speeds, in order to devise their next step.

Township staff will also

look into guidebooks regarding traffic signs, which would urge motorists to slow down and be cautious.

In the meantime, Scugog

Township will speak to Cst. Kelly regarding increased police enforcement along the road, and the stance of the DRPS.

Helping United Way F RO M PAG E 1

“One in three people will be touched by the United Way at one time or another in their lives” says Cheryl Henderson. “Your neighbours, your friends or your family might one day need the support of the United Way and making sure that support is there when it is needed is just a matter of putting a cheque in the envelope and dropping it in the mail. Every dollar raised in this community stays in this community. The money raised stays right here, benefitting the organizations that benefit the community.”

So please give generously. You never know when you or someone you love will need to rely on the United Way and its associated agencies for support.

The women who served in World War I and World War II are seldom mentioned it seems. If you haven’t seen the World War I display yet, you have until Sept. 28.

It was wonderful to see the video of Danny Moore participating in the Orono tractor pull! It shows what determination can accomplish.

Friday Night at the Foster was another stellar performance with Mary Dube, Gary McLaughlin and 16-year-old Casey Spencer; solos, duets and trios in lovely harmony. I especially enjoyed Mary’s new song “The Thought of Losing You” dedicated to our planet. You will hear it at the Sandford Gala, scheduled for Friday, Oct.17. Mark your calendar!

DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

UXBRIDGE: Councillors were left hoping for a mild winter at their meeting on the morning of Monday, Sept. 15, after a report from Public Works Director Ben Kester that stated the cost of winter sand is set to rise by 18 per cent next year.

Councillors awarded a tender to Vicdom Sand and Gravel for the amount of $124,978 to provide the municipality with winter sand this year.

“Everyone talks about taxes, taxes, taxes, but this is a prime example of costs going up that we really have little control over,” commented Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor.

Ward 2 Councillor Pat Molloy joked that, “maybe it won’t snow this year,” leading to Mayor O’Connor reminding councillors that sand would still be needed even if there was no snow in the event of an emergency.

Ward 5 Councillor Gord Highet was left searching for answers over the increased price for 2015.

“Did they provide a rationale? Is the sand coming from Miami Beach” Mr. Highet asked Mr. Kester.

While Mr. Kester was unable to provide an exact reason for the increase, he did explain that this was likely a case of increased costs from the supplier being passed onto the consumer.

SCUGOG ISLAND by Jeanne C. LeSauz-Ball Call to worship was called by the Rev. Michelle Hofman, a warm greeting went out to all who attended. The message was “490 Times! (The Heart of Forgiveness).”

On Sunday, Sept. 21, we are aiming to have a “Perfect Attendance Day in Church,” just something fun to try and to get in the routine of things after a busy summer. Let’s pack the Church just because you love to be there!

On Sunday, Sept. 28, Scugog Island United Church will be worshipping with Churches United at 11 a.m., followed by a pot luck. Please bring your utensils, chairs and a main dish or dessert. The location is Solina Park, which is located at 1964 Conc. Rd. 6 in Hampton (northeast corner of Conc. 6/Solina Rd.) SIUC will

be closed on that Sunday so that we may all have the opportunity to worship with the Churches United.

A belated Happy Birthday wish goes out to Lesley Demone, who celebrated on Sept 1.

Happy Birthdays this week go out to: Frazer Lacey and Carter Johnson on the 15th, Nathan Kozlinsky celebrating on the16th and a Happy 1st Anniversary to my Husband, Fred Ball on the 21st.

EDITORIAL Open (election) season Last Friday’s nomination deadline has come and gone, and when the dust settled, there were 14 names in the running for a seat on council in Scugog Township and another 20 vying for positions in Uxbridge Township when North Durham heads back to the polls on Monday, Oct. 27.

Over the next several weeks, all of these candidates will be taking part in an extended job interview for the right to represent the citizens of North Durham, and we are hopeful for an entertaining and engaging race between all of the candidates.

Being a member of council is a tough job, and most of those who serve should be lauded for their desire to improve the community around them and their willingness to give back locally.

However, we hope that the commitment isn’t lost on some of those who have signed up. As we have seen in the past, not all members of council are created equal, and there is the occasional person seemingly just there to collect a paycheque and contribute little in the way of opinions, or in some cases even attendance.

It is a tough job, and it should be. And, ultimately it’s up to the residents to ask the right questions during the campaign and make an informed decision on election night, with the job of municipal council members growing seemingly all the time as the higher levels of government look to download more and more responsibilities on the lowest level of government, there is a lot riding on your choices. After all, whatever choice is made, you are stuck with - for better or worse for the next four years.

So please, over the next six weeks, please take the time to get to know the candidates and where they stand on the issues that are important to you and your family. This is your opportunity to make the choice that will guide you locally until 2018.

Don’t take it too lightly, and don’t forget to vote.

A real food truck frenzy To the Editor, I have been following along with this ongoing saga of the food truck parked in someone’s driveway over these past few weeks in The Standard.

I have to ask? Is this really the most pressing matter in these people’s lives?

Does a councillor really have nothing better to do with his time than to wedge himself into the middle of a dispute between neighbours? If only he had the same drive to head up

to Greenbank and check out what is happening out there with the giant mountain of dirt or maybe drive along some of the roads in Scugog Island that are in terrible shape, and have been for as long as I can recall.

I tend to think that this whole mess is really just an adult version of telling the teacher, and it’s too bad that these are the kind of matters that actually get a response.

Football issues are a gamble 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

To the Editor, As a die hard fan of the game and a former player in my high school days, I read The Standard’s editorial last week (The problem with football) with great interest.

It’s too bad that in a lot of cases, it’s all too often the bad apples that are spoiling it for the whole bunch. And any good work done by football players always seems to be overshadowed by the terrible deeds of a few.

However, I think what may have been missing is the role of gambling in this whole mess, since that is what drives football’s continued success. If there wasn’t so much riding on gambling every single week, maybe these players would be properly punished. Both in the courts and by the league.

However, money talks and it seems like too many people are making too much money off of football for anyone involved in anything illegal to ever have to suffer real consequences.

Pair of waste events in North Durham NORTH DURHAM: The Regional Municipality of Durham’s Works Department invites residents to drop off household hazardous waste (HHW) free of charge at a special collection event in Uxbridge this weekend.

The event will be held on Saturday Sept. 20, from 8 a.m. to noon, rain or shine, at the Uxbridge Seniors Centre, located at 75 Marietta St. This collection will help to divert HHW from landfill at no charge to residents. Examples of HHW include: antifreeze; single-use and rechargeable batteries; brake fluid; motor oil and filters; fluorescent light bulbs and tubes; pesticides; herbicides; fertilizers; insecticides; old prescription and over-the-counter medications; sharps (in a secure, rigid container); propane tanks; pool chemicals; paints; and solvents.

Through the Region’s pilot Mercury Recovery program, residents will be given one free digital oral thermometer in exchange for mercury-containing devices such as thermometers, thermostats, barometers, hydrometers and blood-pressure monitors. Only household items will be accepted for exchange and a limit of one thermometer per day, per vehicle applies. The first 200 residents who drop off HHW at this event can also pick up a free gallon of recycled paint (one per vehicle).

Residents are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item, which will be donated to the local food bank.

As well, the Regional Municipality of Durham, in partnership Global Electric Electronic Recycling, invites residents to drop off their end-of-life or unwanted electronics (e-waste) for free recycling at a collection event in Sunderland this weekend.

The e-waste collection will take place at Sunderland Memorial Arena, at 20 Park St., on Saturday, Sept. 20 from 8 a.m. to noon, rain or shine This event will provide residents with a convenient, free collection service to properly recycle their electronics, while keeping toxic materials out of 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.

NEWS & OPINION

Walk Softly Geoff carpentier

Kleptoparasitism Continuing with the theme of birds as bullies, I want to share an avian behaviour with you that sounds exotic but is actually quite common in the bird world. You may not realize it but you’ve probably already seen this activity. Picture yourself at the beach - surrounded by sand, kids and gulls. They’re everywhere because someone is feeding them. As the gulls whirl synchronously on the wind, jockeying for position to catch a morsel, they plunge toward it when it is tossed into the air by the hand of a philanthropist. One bird invariably snatches it and the others pursue. Twisting and turning, the original bird either keeps its snack or drops it so another can grab it and off they go again. Well, that’s what kleptoparasitism is all about. Essentially stealing another bird’s food by whatever means possible. This seems to follow the same principle as kleptomania, a human disorder where stealing is done without reason or need usually. In reality however in the bird world, the reason and the need are clearly defined - food. Although this may seem to represent laziness on the part of the kleptobird (not really a word, but I like it), it is in fact a wise adaption for survival. It is not without its perils, for the chase can last for several minutes and usually involves the expenditure of a lot of energy.

Additionally, the aerial acrobatics can be dangerous as the birds wheel and turn at high speed.

Around the world the behaviour is well-known and well-studied. In the tropics, I’m sure many of you have seen the large Magnificent Frigatebird as it soars over white sand beaches – long pointed wings slicing the air and its forked tail acting as a rudder.

Watch it for a while and you will quickly see that it rarely hunts on its own but instead is always looking for another bird carrying food. Terns and tropicbirds are often the target. Closer to home, as mentioned, the gulls are masters at stealing food, but so are other birds – hawks, crows, jays and the like will also grab a snack if the original hunter is unwary. I’ve even watched sandpipers grab a midge from a neighbour and gobble it down without remorse. Usually the birds that utilize this hunting technique use speed, manoeuvrability and brute force to outrun, outwit and outcompete their quarry. Kind of like the TV

The reverse jinx As some of you may remember, earlier this year we had an intern from Durham College working here at The Standard named Joe LeBouthillier.

Joe wrote a pair of columns under the title ‘Cup of Joe’ during his time here, and in the process of writing his first - in which he made Stanley Cup playoff predictions - he learned a very valuable lesson: that your predictions will always be wrong and mostly serve as a permanent reminder that you were wrong. Lucky for you, I have yet to learn that lesson despite years of evidence that should prevent me from ever wishing to make my predictions public.

So with the 2014-15 COJHL season kicking off this weekend, I will boldly map out the way I see things playing out this year.

1. Uxbridge Bruins - Attention MoJacks fans, please don’t put the paper down yet. With Lakefield possibly taking a step back, it seems that Uxbridge is a prime candidate to burst through with a championship this season. The Bruins boast the league’s strongest goaltender, a deep crop of forwards and a versatile defensive corps. Given that the Bruins have reached the Cougar Cup Finals in five of the past six seasons, this is not exactly reaching going out on a limb.

Thursday, September 18, 2014 • 9

show “Survivor” but the stakes are higher. Generally the pursuer is physically adapted as a powerful and acrobatic flyer so that the odds of success are increased.

If a bird relies on stealing food and is raising young at the same time, it needs to ensure that enough others birds, which hunt for themselves, are nearby. It is a successful adaptive behaviour that really only works well when lots of prey and host species nest close by and is particularly effective when the host carries the food in its mouth rather than the stomach, so often one sees these entrepreneurial birds living right beside a colony of seabirds. In Antarctica, penguins nest and live in large compact colonies. As a result, they are constantly harassed by klepotoparasitic birds for the krill they so diligently catch. Unlike the gulls on the beach however, the penguins do not carry the food in their mouths, but rather it has been ingested and will be regurgitated at the nest. So chasing the penguin to get it to drop its food doesn’t work. The kleptobirds in this case harry the penguin until, in desperation to get away and back to the nest, it spits up all or most of its meal, which is then quickly ingested. One of the best birds at forcing the food from penguins is a chicken-like bird called a Snowy Sheathbill. It is a master of kleptoparasitism and will even fly into and push a penguin if it doesn’t respond quickly enough. The host bird is rarely hurt by these encounters, but if it happens frequently enough the babies in the host bird’s nest will suffer as the parent cannot find sufficient food for them to survive.

But what if the kleptohunt (another neat nonword) is unsuccessful? Does the bird simply let its offspring starve? No way! All birds are quite capable of hunting and catching their own prey, but in the greater scheme of things, it takes less time and less calories to steal food. So next time you see a gull in a parking lot, watch it for a bit and you will likely see a kleptoparasite at work!

Up All Knight 2. Port Perry MoJacks - While I am somewhat concerned about a lack of any overage players on the MoJacks’ roster, this is still a very veteran group that will be in great shape under the leadership of new Head Coach Clair Cornish, and with MoJacks home games moving to 2:25 p.m. on Sundays, they will have to be. If the MoJacks can maintain the intensity they showed during the pre-season, it could very well be a Battle of North Durham to determine the COJHL’s champion.

3. Lakefield Chiefs - The defending All-Ontario champions appear to have lost more players than most expected them to, as well as their coaching staff in the offseason. However, with all of Peterborough to draw from, and a stellar home ice advantage, I can’t put them any lower than third.

4. Clarington Eagles - Another team with some key losses in their lineup over the summer, but their drawing area should make up for it.

5. Georgina Ice - I have a lot of respect for their coaching staff and see a slight improvement for the Ice this year.

6. North Kawartha Knights - An expansion entry to the COJHL this season, the Knights will play out of Apsley, and should get great support from the community. Despite the

DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard @darrylknight

best team name in the loop (I am absolutely biased on that fact), I predict a growing season for this young group, with most of the team playing their first season of junior hockey.

7. Little Britain Merchants - With the addition of Kenzie Smith to play alongside Terry Snoddon and reigning COJHL MVP Kurtis Moore, the Merchants boast the best line in the COJHL and should score in bunches. Garrett Haden should be able to make saves to keep them in almost every game.

So, you are probably wondering why they are here at the bottom of the league. Well, five years ago, I made the same mistake as Joe in making playoff predictions for a series between Port Perry and Little Britain. I picked the MoJacks in seven, and they got blown out in a four-game sweep. Ever since then, I have always picked against the Merchants as a sort of reverse jinx.

New Uxbridge Fire Hall is moving forward DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

UXBRIDGE: Councillors received a pair of updates on the status of a new Fire Hall for the municipality at their meeting on the morning of Monday, Sept. 15.

During the meeting councillors received a report detailing the status of a construction tender for the project, as well as news that the township has saved nearly one-half of the estimated cost of the project.

In August, only one tender for the pre-engineered structure was returned despite 43 companies picking up a package, leading township staff to investigate the low rate of return.

“The vast majority of contractors wanted to be the general contractor and build the whole thing, not just erect the building,” explained Mr. Kester. He would add that a revised Request for Proposal is expected to go out in the next few weeks, and is hopeful for a greater response with the revisions in place.

Later in the meeting, a report from Deputy Treasurer Donna Condon detailed the current funding status for the project.

According to Ms. Condon’s report, Uxbridge’s 2014-15 capital budget included the cost of the new Fire Hall to be $3,800,000 (excluding the cost of land).

To date, the township has collected funds total-

ling $1,875,518 towards the project, leaving a balance of $1,924,482.

It is expected that the township will issue a debenture and/or borrow from existing township reserves to cover the unfunded balance of the construction cost of the new Fire Hall, according to Ms. Condon.

“We’re getting closer and closer all the time.

This is great news and hopefully, we’ll soon be able to get moving on our new Fire Hall,” said Ward 2 Councillor Pat Molloy.

Ward 3 Councillor Pat Mikuse added that the intent of council has been that once the Fire Hall on Bascom St. is sold, the funds from the sale are to be directed to the cost of the new Fire Hall.

Suspect sought after Coffee Time robbed in Uxbridge UXBRIDGE: Investigators are appealing to the public to help identify a suspect following a knifepoint robbery at an Uxbridge coffee shop last week.

According to police, on Wednesday, Sept. 10, officers from North Division were called regarding a knifepoint robbery of the Coffee Time outlet on Brock St. West in downtown Uxbridge. An employee was closing the store at approximately 9:10 p.m. when a lone male forced his way in and threatened the employee with a knife. The suspect grabbed a quantity of cash and fled the store.

There were no physical injuries.

Officers searched the area, but no arrests were made.

The suspect is described as a male, about 5’9” tall with a slim build, wearing dark glasses and a dark-coloured hooded sweatshirt.

Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca and tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

Racing helmets stolen in Goodwood UXBRIDGE: Officers are asking the public for any information that might identity the suspect(s) responsible for stealing two go-kart helmets belonging to a 15year-old boy with special needs.

According to a police media release, sometime between Monday (Sept. 8) night and early Tuesday (Sept. 9) morning, a suspect(s) entered Goodwood Kartways on Wagg Rd. and broke into a storage trailer. Items stolen included two colourful gokart helmets and some computer equipment.

The Bell helmets belong to a 15-year-old go-kart enthusiast who has special needs and the family would like to have them returned. The first helmet has an elaborate gold, blue and white colour scheme and the second helmet has a distinctive blue, white and bright orange design. Photos are attached.

Anyone with information about this break and enter is asked to call the Durham Regional Police Service at 1-888-579-1520. The lead investigator is Cst. Hilliard of North Division at ext. 2972.

Williams family honoured with Reflection Park plaque BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

SCUGOG: The Williams family, relatives of early Scugog settler Elias Williams, was honoured by Scugog Township on Saturday, Sept. 13, with the presentation of a commemorative plaque at Reflection Park on Queen St. in downtown Port Perry.

The Scugog Heritage and Museum Advisory Committee, as well as Scugog’s Manager of Culture and Recreation

Craig Belfry, has been working on the project with the Williams family for the past two years, and wanted to pay recognition to the first settler and landowner in Scugog, who sold nearly 400 acres to Peter Perry, who began to develop the land in the early 19th century.

Later that afternoon,

Mayor Chuck Mercier shows the Elias Williams commemorative plaque to Joan Middleton and Helen Heard, relatives of Elias.

“Open 7 Days a Week”.

THE TIN MILL When it comes to fine dining, few establishments in the Uxbridge area can compete with the Tin Mill. This wonderful restaurant has been creating signature dishes since 2006 in a building that dates back to the 1860’s. It was used as a flour mill and a leather factory before being transformed into its current condition, an arduous task undertaken by owners Don Andrews and Conrad Lepine.

The seasonal menus change constantly adding new and even more delicious items. Recently a complete line of gluten-free and dairyfree dishes have been added catering to the wishes of the clientele.

Old favourites, such as the ribs, the tenderloin and the pork shanks are complimented by ravioli (a wonderful choice) and a large variety of salads, including the ‘Everything’ salad – exactly as the name implies.

Sunday brunch, served from 10:30 to 3:00, offers additional dishes of eggs as well as fish and chips. The restaurant is open for lunch from 11:30 until 3:00 six days a week, and for dinner from 4:30 until 9:00 (10:00 on Fridays and Saturdays and 8:00 on Sundays). They are closed on Mondays.

A separate room and patio offer even more choice for seating, with an opportunity to host weddings, private parties and business func-

Tin Mill’s Don Andrews, Conrad Lepine and Chef Mike Mills tions. A new addition, on the lower level, will open in October and will accommodate 30 people for smaller, individual group functions.

Everything prepared in the Tin Mill and the Tin Cup (an eclectic coffee and pastry establishment on Brock Street) is made on the premises by Chef Mike Mills, using mostly local ingredients. “We are very concerned about having the best quality products and being able to support local growers,”

Don Andrews explained. “We have an in-house baker who creates our wonderful desserts and pastries.” I have to admit, the carrot cake, created with pineapples is among the best I have ever tasted.

Located on Toronto Street, just north of Brock Street, the Tin Mill is well worth the visit. If ‘casual dining-dressed up’ is on your agenda, this is one establishment not to be missed.

DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

The Uxbridge Bruins will kick off the 2014-15 COJHL season in Keswick on Friday, Sept. 19, as they tangle with the Georgina Ice at 7:30 p.m.

Ten local products will be donning the black and yellow this season, led by returnees Dylan Locke, Shane Smith, Jason Simmonds, Thomas Sheedy and Matthew Pollard.

New to the fold are forwards Alex Williamson, Robert Freckelton and Alex Siblock. Connor Evans joins the Bruins’ defence and Jake Joosten has earned the back-up goaltender position with the team.

The Bruins will host the archrival Port Perry MoJacks next weekend in the season’s first ‘Battle of North Durham’ as the home portion of their schedule gets underway at Uxrena on Friday, Sept. 26 at 7:45 p.m.

This past weekend, the Bruins closed out their preseason schedule with a home-and-home encounter with the Port Hope Panthers of the Empire B Junior

‘C’ League.

The two teams squared off in uxbridge on Friday, Sept. 12, with the Bruins looking to build on the momentum from their tournament championship in Alliston the previous weekend.

After denying the Panthers at every turn early in the game, Port Hope was able to slip a powerplay goal past Bruins netminder Branden Francey with just under two minutes remaining in the opening period.

Less than two minutes into the second period, the Panthers would strike again to take a 2-0 lead before Shane Smith got the Bruins on the scoreboard with just over eight minutes to play in the middle stanza. Marco Mastrangelo chipped in the lone assist on the play.

However, that would be as close as Uxbridge would get, as the Panthers added a late empty-net goal to seal a 3-1 win.

Simmonds would net the Bruins’ lone goal, assisted

by Williamson on Saturday night in Port Hope, as the Panthers mauled the Bruins by a final tally of 7-1.

ARIES (March 20-April 19): This is a great time to promote your opinions and beliefs. Expand your view of the world and open yourself to new ideas by booking a trip to an exotic island. Enjoy the sun, sand and sea.

LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 23): You are in a great position to effectively sell your ideas, but should not skip over details. Take the lead, but respect the opinions of others. Keep your car in good working condition and slow down on the road.

GEMINI (May 20-June 21): If there is tension between you and your partner, bring the problem to the surface and deal with it. Try to achieve a compromise. In legal matters, a settlement should work in your favour.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This week, you entered a new energetic Mars cycle which continues until October 24. Feeling vital and competitive, you want things to work out in your favour.

Take the lead, but respect others’ opinions.

TAURUS (April 19-May 20): Conflicts over monies you share with others are possible now.

Whether the conflict is with your personal or business partner, work out a win-win situation that will be in the best interest of both of you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ready to put off leisure activities and get back to work, try to be patient with co-workers. Give credit where it is due to preserve team spirit. Do not overdo time spent on the job, or you might have to take sick time off.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 22): Express your strong vitality through play, sports or creative work.

Your children could be quite demanding over the next five weeks. Plan activities to do with them.

Turn a hobby or interest into a full time job.

VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept. 22): Your home is the focus of your life over the next few weeks and anything going on there will be extremely emotional. You could reach a significant point in a career related project you began a year ago.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22): Try not to be extravagant and do not spend money you cannot really afford. The upside of this Mars transit is finding new ways to earn money, either by starting your own business, or by taking on a part-time job.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 19): On the job, you may not get full credit for your contribution, but should continue to work productively behind the scenes. You could decide that you want to help others and are ready to take up a charitable cause.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19-Feb. 19): Energetic, you are not willing to wait around for others to act.

Accept a board position for a service club or organization. Work extra hard to accomplish your personal goals.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Instead of threatening others’ ideas, find a way to work with them.

This is a good time to begin a work project that will pay off big down the road. Make sure your goals are not in conflict with your boss’.

This weekend, the Port Perry Curling Club will play host to the second annual Harp & Wylie’s Junior Early Bird Cash Spiel. A total of twenty of the top junior aged teams in the Province will compete in this Ontario Junior Curling Tour event and their share of the $7,000 prize purse. Teams will be split into pools of five, with each team playing four games to seed themselves for the playoffs which will be played on Sunday.

On the women’s side, K-W Granite’s Molly Greenwood is returning to defend her 2013 Early Bird title. Team Greenwood has a new squad this season, but is coming off an amazing year where they won the Ontario Provincial Junior Women’s championship and then finished fourth at the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, with a 7-3 record. The team recently announced a men-

toring relationship with Team Sherry Middaugh which includes some financial assistance, joint training weekends, and ongoing communication and support throughout the season.

Port Perry is also pleased to welcome last season’s Northern Ontario Junior Champions, Team Krysta Burns and Team Tanner Horgan, both representing the Idylwylde Curling Club in Sudbury. Team Jestyn Murphy from Mississaugua Golf & Country Club, with local curler Leah Will at vice, recently came off representing Ontario at the Under-18 International Curling Championships where the team finished in second place. Belleville’s Kayla MacMillan, whose team competes out of the Huntley Curling Club in Ottawa, are defending Provincial bantam champions and will be representing Ontario at the 2015 Under18’s to be held in Edmonton.

Team Matt Hall will also be present. The Stroud based mens team is in their

first year of Juniors, but the 2013 bantam provincial champions recently won the Ontario Winter games qualifier and will be Team Ontario at the Canadian Winter games in Prince George, British Columbia in February 2015.

These are just some of the many great teams and curlers that will compete this weekend. Games get underway on Friday at 1 p.m., and run all weekend with the Championship final scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. Please come to the Port Perry Curling Club and watch some of the top young curling stars in the province.

Free Learn-to-Curl Just a reminder that the Port Perry Curling Club will be hosting free Learn-toCurl sessions on Monday, Sept. 22 and Wednesday, Sept. 24 and again on Tuesday, Sept. 30 and Thursday, Oct. 2 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This is a great opportunity for new curlers to give the sport a try. Contact Rowena Fowler at 905-9821593 to reserve your spot.

Port Perry Power claim back-to-back Eastern Canadian titles

The Port Perry Power capped a successful season on the diamond with their second consecutive Gold medal victory at the Eastern Canadian Softball Championships.

SUBMITTED PHOTO JOHN BECK Special to The Standard

The Port Perry Power Bantam Softball season was one of unexpected developments capped by a sensational closing. With only a few teams to play in Eastern Ontario the Power opened the season in May not knowing where their games would come from other than tournaments.

A late contact made by one of the Power coaches led to an opportunity to play in Fenelon Falls against men in their league. It turned out to be a stroke of genius; the games against the Fenelon men brought a new found focus and determination to the team. Maybe it was the thought of not wanting to be embarrassed or just plain competitiveness, but the 10 or 11 games provided a great competition and an invaluable learning tool on many softball levels.

One of men’s team’s pitchers even came to Port Perry and pitched to the team on a couple of occasions.

The tournament season is one of building towards the big two tournaments at the end of the summer.

The boys played decently in the opening three tournaments (Port Perry/Stratford/Brantford) but lack of consistency and overall crispness to their game led to a limited success.

An extra inning loss to Chepstow in the “B” side Final at Brantford being the best result. Everything was building to the July 11th weekend in Penetanguishine at the OASA Eliminations with the top three of 14 teams going to the Canadian Championships.

The draw had Port Perry on the same side as the top two teams in Ontario (Wellesley and Campbellford). This meant the only way through to the Canadians was to beat either of these two.

The Power opened with a win over Tavistock before losing a close battle to Campbellford. With Campbellford leading 4-2 in the 5th inning Port Perry loaded the bases with one out only to come up empty. The next morning Port Perry needed to beat Caledonia (another tough opponent) to stay alive. Port raced to a 5-0 lead and hung on in a nail-biter to win 5-3. That set up an afternoon game with Wellesley to see who would go onto the Canadians. Campbellford had already qualified beating Wellesley 1-0 and Port Perry 6-2. Kitchener qualified on a weaker side of the draw beating Cobourg 11-10 and Chepstow 4-1.

The Wellesley/Port Perry game was a classic highly entertaining Boys U16 fastball game. Both teams displayed enviable defence and pitching. The game remained scoreless through four innings. In the 5th inning Wellesley’s leadoff hitter hit a fly ball that carried over the fence with a little wind assistance. The game remained 1-0 Wellesley until the 7th when Port Perry had one last at bat. The Power squeezed out back-to-back singles with one out to set the stage for a dramatic finish. Needing only a base hit to go onto the Canadian Championships, the Power couldn’t squeeze the key hit out against Wellesley’s pitcher and fell 1-0 in an amazing game.

The 4th place finish gave Port Perry a chance to represent Ontario at the end of August at the Eastern Canadian Championships in Fredericton, NB. The Power accepted and for the second time in three years would try to win gold for Ontario in New Brunswick, having won gold two years ago in Newfoundland going 7-0.

Next up though was the OASA Provincial tournament in Campbellford which gave the Power a chance to prove they did deserve to belong in the top three teams in Ontario. After dropping the first game of the tournament the Power went all the way through the bottom half of the draw reeling off four straight wins including three mercy’s and an outstanding come from behind 6-5 victory over the Canadian Championship bound Kitchener-Waterloo Kolts.

These four straight wins in sweltering temperatures gave the Power a bronze medal at the Ontario Championships with Wellesley and Campbellford again finishing first and second.

A little over two-and-ahalf weeks later, the Power went to Fredericton, NB to represent Ontario in the Eastern Canadian Softball Championships. The seventeam tournament included two teams from New Brunswick, two from Nova Scotia, one from Newfoundland and Cobourg, Ontario (one of Port Perry’s league foes).

From the outset of the tournament a different mindset was in place as the Power’s defense and pitching was on display in all round robin games. Another added feature was Port Perry’s refusal to let any

team back into a game. The result was a clean 4-0 round robin record with four straight pitching shutouts.

The 1-2 playoff game featured Port Perry and Nova Scotia (West Hants Thunder), a vastly improved team from two years earlier (where they were last).

A see-saw battle saw Port Perry up only 2-1 in the 4th inning when a big base clearing triple gave Port the

breathing room they needed to win 8-2 and advance to Sunday’s final.

The final Sunday would be against either West Hants or Cobourg. In the semi-final Cobourg trailed 6-1 in the 4th inning before rallying for a 10-9 victory prompting Cobourg parents to suggest they couldn’t wait to play Port Perry (having not played them in the round robin and thinking the regular season fun games gave them hope).

The Power team was relentless in the final after spotting Cobourg an early 1-0 lead. The bats, defense and pitching were all in allstar form as they dominated from the 1st inning and cruising to an 8-1 mercy to claim their second consecutive Gold medal down east while representing Ontario.

Congratulations to all players and coaches as well as parents for their support of Port Perry Power Softball. An added thanks to sponsors (Brian and Pat Kerry: Green Tractors Inc., Utica), (Norm and Nicole Robitalle: Tools in Motion, Midland), and Ritch Bricknell.

Three of the Power play-

ers (Ben Kerry: Catcher, Kevin Matthews and Nate Robitaille) were selected to play in the Canadian Championships by other teams. No other team had more than one player selected and of the six players asked by the three teams, the Power had three of these. All three players did a fantastic job at the Canadians representing Port Perry. Ben and Kevin were by far the leaders offensively and defensively for Kitchener-Waterloo.

Nate had a pair of pitching wins for Wellesley and led all players in RBI’s in the playoff. Wellesley went on to become the Canadian Fastball Champs with Campbellford finishing second and Kitchener-Waterloo fifth.

These results as well as the Eastern Canadian results further confirm Ontario’s dominance in softball at this age and proves just how competitive this Port Perry team is – having lost 1-0 to Wellesley in the game to go onto the Canadians and 4-3 earlier in the year at Stratford when Wellesley won that tournament.

Reeling through the festival After missing last years film festival mired in depression and not interested, it felt good to be standing in line to pick up my press pass. For nineteen years I had attended the festival, loving every moment of it and savouring the many memories.

Perhaps was the best was that Sherri always brought the girls down for the first weekend, and though I did

suitcases exploded in the room, shopping bags littered the small space, and we made a point of having dinner together Saturday.

I was fun. We laughed often about five year old Aurora nearly attacking Christopher Walken in an elevator, recognizing him as the villain in the movie Mousehunt (‘97) before T U R N TO PAG E 2 7

Returning to friends at TIFF F RO M PAG E 2 6

gently easing into his arms for a hug. Or dismissing Dustin Hoffman because he was not famous enough for her. Or Sherri getting a hug from Brad Pitt, making her the instant belle of the ball. I remember Ariana telling me with great excitement she saw George Clooney sprinting through the lobby of the Four Seasons, knowing he was on his way to meet me for an interview.

I love TIFF, both for those family memories, and of course for the films. I would come here just for the movies, and be happy not to do any interviews, but it is part of my job. There are many who think I write just for The Standard, not so, I write for some major internet sites in the United States and have since the web burst forth with its far reach and vast power.

My best memories of the festival are personal ones, films that touched me deeply or a moment during a film that attached itself to my heart.

In 2012, the year my wife died, I remember sobbing out loud at a screening of

the superb film Amour (12) and at once feeling the hand of an elderly critic from Denmark reach over and take mine. She held it for the duration of the film, the two of us sitting in the dark, not speaking but joined by the sheer power of the film. When it was over, she looked at me and said, “you have suffered a great loss?”

I answered, “My wife, a few months ago”. She embraced me, I hugged her frail body and she kissed my cheek, “It gets easier...be patient”, and then was gone. I do not know her name and have never seen her again.

In 1997 while watching The Apostle (97), a film Robert Duvall had acted in, directed, produced with his own money and wrote and part way in I just knew I was watching perhaps the greatest film performance of all time. Halfway through the film two men rose from their seats and ran up the aisle madly, each dialing their cell phones. The next day I learned I had witnessed the beginnings of what was an all-night bidding war, with one of the men, October Films winning the right to distribute Duvall’s film.

Films from around the world are brought to this remarkable film event, now one of Canada’s great cultural celebrations. Hard to believe it began in 1976 as a small and rather ignored film festival held in the old Cinesphere at Ontario Place.

Walking the streets of festival village in Yorkville was quaint and you might spot a star or three walking along enjoying the day. No more, the Bell Lightbox on King St. has moved the festival south, and the streets are not teeming with people, film fans and celebrity stalkers looking for an autograph. Still there is something magical in the air.

My girlfriend Carolyn and I walked the streets Saturday night before having a great dinner at Southern Accents and it was great. Old memories are not forgotten, just savoured. New ones are being made every day. I missed last year because my head would not allow me to be here. My girls woke me up to the fact that film is my life, I had to be here this year.

When I picked up my press pass I was greeted warmly “Hell John, great to have you back, we missed you”. I was at home.
