SHOCKING AND SUPRISING ANTIQUES: Ric Pearce is seen above ‘treating’ Grant Jones’ forehead with a Violet Ray medical machine - during the annual Port Perry High School Antique Show and Sale, on Oct. 18. The device, which dates to sometime around the turn of the century, generated a low current electrical arc and was used in beauty treatments and electrotherapy - often applied directly to the face, body, or eyes. Many more treasures were present at the show. BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

SCUGOG: Prince Albert residents protested a proposed subdivision expansion on Monday, Sept. 29 at Scugog Council Chambers - with one community member, Suzanne Doupe, calling it ‘mind-boggilingly unrealistic.’ The proposal, submitted by Henry Kortekaas and Associates Inc., on behalf of Home-Land Development Group Ltd., will seek to build 28 detached homes and a new cul-de-sac
Elizabeth Murray
on a 4.15 acre lot, fronting onto the south side of King St., just west of Union Ave. Proponent representative Henry Kortekaas touted the subdivision draft as necessary intensification of the rural reaches of Prince Albert which currently feature older homes and large rural lots. “We’re providing opportunities for starter homes, priced in the middle of the market, between $350,000 and $450,000,” said Mr. Kortekaas.

“Smaller homes and smaller yards are perfect for retirees as well.” Mr. Kortekaas also told Council that the new homes would be marketed to families who currently live in the southern portion of Durham Region, and further west in the GTA. The developers hope that the coming Highway 407 expansion will attract Toronto commuters to North Durham, seeking countryside living and a shorter drive to work. T U R N TO PAG E 3
UXBRIDGE: A longstanding local tradition will continue next week, the when election night results are revealed at Uxbridge Arena Community Centre. Municipal election results will be posted at the Arena Hall, after 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 27, with many candidates planning to attend at various points throughout the evening. Doors will open to the public at the Hall at 7 p.m. The future of the practice was in doubt this week when the matter was debated by councillors at a special meeting on Monday, Oct. 20. Councillor’s opinions were split on the continuation of the practice, with some arguing that the results being posted on the township’s web site allowed candidates and residents alike to view them at home, and cast doubt on the event. However, Ward 1 Councillor Bev Northeast argued that internet is not readily available in some rural areas of the township, and many seniors in the municipality lack an internet connection. The township’s other rural councillors, - Pat Molloy and Pat Mikuse - agreed with Councillor Northeast and voted in favour of keeping the event at the Arena. They were opposed by Ward 4 Councillor Jacob Mantle, Ward 5 Councillor Gord Highet and Regional Councillor Jack Ballinger. Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor would break the tie with a ‘yay’ vote, enabling the event to continue at the Arena this year. Results from the municipal election on Monday, Oct. 27 will be posted on the township’s web site, www.town.uxbridge.on.ca beginning shortly after 8 p.m. Residents who have not yet done so can drop off their completed ballots at the Clerk’s Department at Town Hall, located at 51 Toronto St. South until 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 27.

Councillors question proposed Prince Albert subdivision F RO M PAG E 1
Members of the local community, many of whom own homes which would butt up against the new development, took exception to the compact sized lots and homes on the draft plan. Current Township zoning by-laws state that all residential lots must be at least 670 square metres in area with a minimum 18 metre frontage - the proposed lots would more than halve the requirements, with lot sizes as small as 300 square metres, and frontages of only 6.3 metres. “With requested lot sizes and frontages being less than half of what our by-laws hold, what is the point in even having a by-law process?” asked Ward 2 Councillor John Hancock. “While I appreciate that we should look to-
ward intensification – I don’t think this new subdivision will enhance the pre-existing homes.” Councillors also discussed issues with the proposed street allowance running through the subdivision, as it was almost two metres more narrow than by-laws require, and did not feature sidewalks or room to park more than one vehicle in driveways. “An average family has at least two workers and two cars – with capacity for one car in the driveway, would we see cars lined up on the street?” said Councillor Hancock. “If you’re touting small houses, the garage will be stuffed with belongings.” One local homeowner, Paul Callaghan, was upset by the proposal to bring municipal sewage and water service to the new homes, stating that many homes in Prince Albert have not seen services for more than two decades.
“We don’t have sidewalks or streetlights, and we still pay taxes. You can’t build a new Prince Albert and leave the old one behind,” said Mr. Callaghan. Mr. Kortekaas explained that the new expansion would require the servicing pipes to be expanded down Old Simcoe Rd. or Union Ave., and would aid in the planned servicing of Prince Albert. “I don’t call what we have here a mix or affordable, it is entirely detached single family dwellings. Intensification means that we have a variety of lot sizes and price ranges,” said Regional Councillor Bobbie Drew. “What we have here is just an application, it is not complete or even approved - and it needs some major review.” The proposal has been deferred to a future meeting with the new Scugog Township Council - after municipal election, which will take place on Oct. 27.
I am Amanda Jackson of Queen Beans and Eco Port and I am endorsing Jennifer Back for Councillor of Ward 5 of the Township of Scugog for the following reasons: Jennifer has the experience of a successful business woman, owning and managing a nationwide corporation. Her knowledge of million dollar budgets and customer service will greatly serve the Community of Scugog. Jennifer truly believes in taking the time to listen and speak with people - the community - and get to know their concerns. Community is a high priority on her list. She volunteers as a Beaver leader with 1st Port Perry Scouts. She is also involved in the Parent/School council and the Island Dance Studio productions.
“Community” means a great deal to Jennifer. Jennifer is approachable, accountable and ‘ready to serve’. She understands the meaning of “Public Servant”. She works for you! So, for respect and accountability for the taxpayers of Ward 5, I am endorsing Jennifer Back for Councillor of Ward 5, Scugog, and I am asking you to join me in doing so. WALK THIS WAY: (From left) Community Living Durham North’s Amanda Carker and Kyle Bonner present a donation from the proceeds of CLDN’s ‘Walk for the United Way’ to Cheryl Henderson at the United Way’s Port Perry office.

ZEPHYR & SANDFORD by Pat Asling Wayne and Anne Godbehere of Zephyr do a lot of exotic travelling and enjoy sharing their trips. This they did Wednesday at the Library, as Wayne showed slides of Iquitos, Peru, several places along the Amazon, including various forms of wildlife. Also at the library on Thursday night the guest speaker at the Uxbridge Genealogy Group, James Thomson, talked about another type of adventure travel, sometimes as dangerous, tracing Scottish relatives, using both local resources and travelling to Scotland. Surprising what interesting bits one can find! On Saturday our own Sheila Maloney was at the library acting as a human book, a part she greatly enjoyed. Friday evening was our Sandford Musical Gala and it was certainly a musical feast with a varied menu of musical items. It was comprised of the four Luke la-
dies, singer Jennifer Neveu with the incomparable pianist Carol Gibson, David Owen, Chris Saunders and Michelle Charlton, Tania Joy and the concert ended with the Ivory Symphony. On Friday, the Rizebol family celebrated a wedding, held at the farm with the reception at the hall. On Saturday another wedding, this time of Danny Moore and Sarah Young, celebrated at Mount Albert and conducted by Rev, Elizabeth Cunningham. Congratulations to both these young couples. Our sympathies to Dorothy Baker whose sister-onlaw recently died. Best wishes for better health to Dorothy Risebrough, Marg Hackner, Cathy Ellig and Jamie Rose, who seriously pulled tendons under his arm and will be laid up for some time. Several people from the
area went to see the musical ‘Emily’ at the Music Hall over its three weeks. I was there Saturday and greatly enjoyed it. The Zephyr Community Centre will once again be hosting all the little ghosts and goblins on Halloween night starting at 5:30 p.m. Hot dogs and hot chocolate will be served, everyone is welcome. Sunday was the 115th anniversary of the present Sandford Church building but the 163rd anniversary of the congregation. Guest minister was Rev. Leslie Sedore with special music by Carol Gibson and Brian Reynolds. A harvest celebration took place at the Fifth Line museum church with Rev Karen Croxall conducting. On Sunday, Oct. 26, the Zephyr congregation celebrate their 127th anniversary with guest minister Aaron Miller and special music.

The Standard
EDITORIAL The finish line is in sight The seemingly endless saga of the municipal election will finally come to a close on Monday, Oct. 27, when Clerk’s Departments across North Durham tally the votes to see just who will represent us locally for the next four years. As in the past, this election has generally been a cordial affair between candidates with everyone sharing the same goal of providing sound leadership to local municipalities. Hopefully, everyone reading this will have already taken the time to fill out and return their ballot. After all, this is the time when municipal matters take centre stage, and with any luck, North Durham will continue to lead the way in the province in regards to voter turnout. The next step will be for the community to stay engaged over the next four years, and ensure that those elected are following through on the pledges they’ve made over these past nine-and-a-half months. The only real issue with the municipal election we at The Standard have had is, once again, the amount of time the process takes up. After all, if provincial and federal elections can be wrapped up in six weeks, then why does the lowest tier of government need almost the entire calendar year? It’s been an enjoyable ride, and we would like to thank all of those who voted for taking the time to have their say in the future of their municipality. We would also like to thank all of those who put their names forward for having the courage to stand up in front of their peers and ask for the privilege of representing them.

Makeover is complete at the Uxbridge Music Hall Foodbank thank you To The Editor, We are pleased to announce that the Uxbridge Music Hall is, once again, fully operational and has begun its fall schedule of events. The Music Hall Advisory Board wishes to take this opportunity to acknowledge and express its appreciation for the manner in which the Township, Council members and all staff along with the Hall’s user groups and audiences, have dealt with the necessity to close the balcony area last spring and to repair some structural problems over the summer. From first learning of the Board’s concerns, Township Staff and Council responded quickly. They assessed the
problem, developed a plan and took the necessary steps to expedite a timely solution, one which would involve the minimum possible inconvenience to the Hall’s users. The closure of the balcony created many challenging problems, involving everything from juggling schedules to compensating users for reduced seating capacity and even assisting scheduled users to move to other venues. The individuals involved responded to these challenges and developed viable solutions in exemplary fashion. The accommodation and cooperation of the Music Hall user groups, especially those suffering the greatest inconvenience, were outstanding. Their
understanding and support was invaluable and most appreciated. Finally, we thank our loyal audiences for their patience and understanding in dealing with any inconvenience they may have encountered during this period. In December, 1901, the official Grand Opening of the Music Hall and the efforts of that community to build this facility were celebrated. It is that same community spirit that drove this project so efficiently and successfully. We can all be proud of these achievements. Thank you.
To the Editor, Once again, the communities within the Township of Scugog have come together to support Operation Scugog Food Bank. The food and cash donations received during the Thanksgiving Food Drive and throughout the year allow us to assist our friends and neighbours who are in need. Due to the caring generosity of our community, Operation Scugog Food Bank has always been able to keep the doors open. A most heartfelt thank you to everyone for continuing to support our efforts.

The hopeful candidates and incumbents who have campaigned for a seat inside Scugog Township Council Chambers will learn who the people have chosen during a special gathering inside Scugog’s municipal office, on the evening of the election. According to Township Clerk Chris Harris, who leads the counting team and will input the results, “The election results will be updated at a regular basis, and posted to the Township’s web site after 8 p.m., on Monday evening.” To view the results, readers are en-
couraged to visit www.scugog.ca and keep an eye on the election race. For those who have yet to turn in their ballot, the municipal office at 181 Perry St. will be open for extended hours over the next few days. The Clerk’s office will remain open from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, from 8:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 24, and from 8:30 a.m. to the 8 p.m. deadline on Monday, Oct. 27 .

Council opposes Regional fire department - cites tax increase UXBRIDGE: Councillors reacted strongly to the recent suggestions that the Region of Durham may seek to form a Regional Fire Department by passing a resolution opposing the measure this week. The possibility of a Regional Fire Department, similar to police and paramedic services currently in place in Durham has been discussed during the campaign for Regional Chair, leading council to pass a resolution at a special meeting on the morning of Monday, Oct. 20 opposing such a measure. If such a measure was successful, it would eliminate lower tier full time and volunteer Fire Departments throughout
Durham Region and would potentially cause current property tax rates in the municipality to rise even higher should its 140-year-old volunteer department give way to a Regional Fire Department. Councillors were concerned with the fact that upper tier fire services would be funded through a similar funding model as Durham Region Transit. The Township of Uxbridge has the highest average assessment per residential dwelling in the Region and pays exorbitant amounts for transit, and additional funding for fire services would potentially place further strain Uxbridge’s residential tax base.
Carbon monoxide alarm bill requires detectors installed NORTH DURHAM: It’s now the law in Ontario to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your home if you have a fuel-burning appliance or an attached garage. “If your home has a fuel-burning appliance or an attached garage, you must have a working CO alarm outside all sleeping areas of the home,” said Gord Gettins, Scugog’s Chief Fire Prevention Officer. “For added protection, install a carbon monoxide alarm on every storey of the home according to manufacturer’s instructions.” Fuel-burning appliances can include furnaces, hot water heaters, gas or wood fireplaces, portable fuel-burning heaters and generators, barbeques, stoves and vehicles. Single-family homeowners and owners of residential buildings that contain no more than six suites have until April 15, 2015 to comply with the law. Owners of residential buildings with more than six suites have until Oct.15, 2015 to comply. The law will be enforced by the Uxbridge and Scugog Fire Departments. Failure to comply with the CO alarm requirements could result in a fine of up to $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for corporations. The Ontario Fire Code was amended October 15, 2014 to require CO alarms after the provincial government passed Bill 77 – the Hawkins Gignac Act, in Dec. 2013. Bill 77 is named after OPP Constable Laurie Hawkins, who died, along with her husband and two children, in her Woodstock home from CO poisoning in 2008. The Ontario Fire Code also requires that in condo and apartment buildings with a service room, CO alarms must be installed in the service room and outside all sleeping areas of all homes above, below and beside the service room. In condo or apartment buildings that have a garage, CO alarms must be installed outside all sleeping areas of all homes above, below and beside the garage. “In Ontario, more than 80 per cent of injuries and deaths from CO occur in the home,” said Mr. Gettins. “We want to make sure everyone is safe from CO. Install CO alarms, and do everything you can to prevent CO in your home in the first place.” For more CO safety tips, visit www.ontario.ca/firemarshal and COsafety.ca.

Staying in touch... ERIN O’TOOLE MP
Prime Minister Harper visits Durham Region On Oct. 9, I had the pleasure of welcoming Prime Minister Harper to the Durham Region to showcase some of the exceptional people and places that make our part of Canada a special place to live. I introduced the Prime Minister before he announced that our government was doubling the popular Children’s Fitness Tax Credit from $500 to $1,000. This will allow families to recoup even more of the costs of enrollment of children in sports, dance or other fitness focused programming. The doubling of this tax credit is effective immediately, so it will apply for the current tax year. The Prime Minister also announced that the tax credit was being made refundable, which will help lower income families benefit directly from the program. The Prime Minister made the announcement at the Abilities Centre in Whitby, and chose this location as a tribute to our friend and former colleague, the late Jim Flaherty. Like so many of the 1.4 million families that enroll their children in sports programs each year, my family takes advantage of this tax credit that recognizes how important sports and other activities are to the physical and personal development of our children. Our daughter swims with the Clarington Swim Club, much like I did years ago. Our 3-year old son is loving his Sportsball class, which lets little children get active and learn to listen to their coach (most of the time in Jack’s case). Another highlight for me at this event was meeting Anne Ottenbrite, who thanked the Prime Minister after his remarks. Anne is a gold-medal winning swimmer from the Durham Region, who continues to coach and inspire our young people. I looked up to Anne as a young swimmer and she is the living embodiment of the opportunity for our young people provided they work hard and have the
support of family and community. Following the event at the Abilities Centre, the Prime Minister travelled to Durham College to visit the exciting new Centre for Food. I joined the PM and several colleagues for a special meal at Bistro 67, which is a first-rate restaurant located inside the Centre for Food. Bistro 67 serves as both a training facility for students in Durham College’s culinary arts program, but it is also a celebration of Durham as an agricultural centre. The restaurant sources local foods and student chefs take our amazing local produce and livestock and transform them into five-star dishes. I was proud to show the Prime Minister the trees donated by Algoma Orchards in Clarington that surround the building and to talk about the farming families from across Durham that supported the creation of the Centre for Food and contribute to its operations and teaching. Agriculture has long been a critical part of our economy in Durham and key element of our heritage and the quality of life that all families enjoy. A few days after dining at Bistro 67 with the Prime Minister, I joined hundreds of people at the Celebrate Agriculture Gala hosted by Durham Farm Connections. This event celebrated the contributions of the farming community in Durham and recognized several families and organizations for their outstanding contributions to agriculture in our community. Durham is an amazing place to live, work and raise a family. This is the time of year that we celebrate the local harvest and pick out our pumpkins on the way home from hockey practice or a dance class. I was very proud to showcase our community to the Prime Minister and demonstrate why we live in the best little corner of Canada.
On October 27th vote for a change.
A new approach for a stronger community.

LED streetlights to illuminate energy savings SCUGOG: Councillors are hoping to shed some light on the savings and costs of their LED streetlight conversion project. The project - which saw $75,000 from the Greenbank airport fill revenue set aside during the 2014 budget - would upgrade approximately 1,900 streetlights with modern energy-efficient LED lightbulbs. Earlier this year, Scugog CAO Ian Roger proposed the project to Council - explaining that the energy savings, and reduced cost of new bulbs, would grow to cover the invested capital within ten years time. “Council has allocated funds to start the project, but to complete it,
we need more,” said Mr. Roger. “Local Authority Services [a financing co-op created by the Ontario Board of Municipalities] has offered to finance the project, to the tune of $250,000 or $300,000.” Mr. Roger added that the funds would be borrowed, but that the sooner the bulbs are replaced, the sooner the energy savings will kick-in. The brighter and longer-lasting bulbs would replace the Township’s mixture of other incandescent bulbs - and, according to Mr. Roger, save approximately 50 per cent of Scugog’s current energy bills for streetlighting. Mayor Chuck Mercier stated that “Many smaller municipalities have
trouble finding the capital for green and money-saving projects such as these,” but expressed gratitude that the Township could discover a beneficial financing option. “This way the entire savings are instant and it will reduce the pressures on our budget,” said Mayor Mercier. “We expect that the savings will be above and beyond the yearly payments to LAS.” Councillors agreed to have Township staff begin correspondence with LAS officials and prepare a report - complete with budgetting information - for the next council, which will speak to the matter after the Oct. 27 municipal election.

Paranormal researchers on Horoscope Column the case at Uxbridge Museum DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard
UXBRIDGE: Just in time for Halloween, the ‘Paranormal Researchers of Ontario’, also known as PROO(f), will be staging a special presentation next week at the Uxbridge Historical Centre. The event will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 28, from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m., at the Historical Centre's Schoolhouse, located at 7239 Conc. 6 in Uxbridge. Admission is free, and donations will be accepted. Those in attendance will be able to learn about paranormal research and ghost hunting, including equipment and research methods, and view fascinating footage from PROO(f)'s previous paranormal work, and have their paranormal questions answered by experienced investigators. "The first thing you can expect from an interactive lecture is the opportunity to make your own observations and be able to feel like an investigator," PROO(f) Director and co-founder Brad Mavin told The Standard. According to Mr. Mavin, since forming in 2010, the six members of PROO(f) have performed investigations across Ontario, including Jester's Court and the Scugog Shores Museum in Port Perry, although his own personal experience with the paranormal dates back to his childhood. "When I was about 10, I had my first experience with the unexplained,"
Mr. Mavin recalled. "I grew up in Newfoundland, and one night a friend and I were sleeping outside in a shed we'd turned into a sort of clubhouse and we heard this loud banging on the side of the building. So we went outside and saw these two men sawing lumber and throwing the wood up against the shed, and one of the men took off his hat and nodded to us and then just disappeared." Recently, the team from PROO(f) investigated an abandoned jail in Peterborough County, which was filmed for their YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/ proofcanada - and will hopefully make its debut on Oct. 28 at the Historical Centre. A financial advisor by day, Mr. Mavin says that the goal of PROO(f) is to "break the mold about what paranormal investigators do. We want to help people who have had issues with the paranormal." He added that every member of the team brings something different to the investigative process, and they are a mix of believers, skeptics and those who fall somewhere in between. " The fact that our group is so diverse makes for a really great dynamic," Mr. Mavin added. " I have been doing this for 20 years, and nine times out of ten nothing gets to me and it can be explained away. But, there's that one time that what happens can't be totally explained and that keeps me coming back."

THE LARGEST LOCAL SPORTS COVERAGE IN DURHAM REGION
Battle of North Durham always an intense affair DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard
The Uxbridge Bruins avenged a loss earlier this season to the Port Perry MoJacks, winning in a shootout by a score of 4-3 on the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 19 in another thrilling chapter of the Battle of North Durham. A season-high crowd of more than 250 spectators at Scugog Arena saw the rivals trade scoring chances in the early portion of the match. Dylan Locke would open the scoring for the Bruins with just under six minutes to play in the first period when he converted a wraparound. However, Konrad Piorkowski would slam in a rebound as the MoJacks enjoyed a powerplay with two minutes left in the opening period to tie the game heading into the middle stanza. The MoJacks would take a 2-1 lead just over three minutes into the second when Kyle Schweda chipped the puck high over Branden Francey’s blocker, but less than two minutes later, Jarett Smith evened the score with a powerplay marker. Steve Sampson’s first goal of the season restored the MoJacks’ lead with just over six minutes to play in the second, but the lead would not last, as Carter Vahey’s shot from the point on a Bruins’ powerplay knotted the score at 3-3 after forty minutes of play. There was added intensity to the action as the third period dawned, with both sides desperately seeking the go-ahead goal. However, the teams would match each other step for step, with the Bruins fending off a frantic finish to regulation time with frenzied action in the Uxbridge zone as Port Perry attempted to take advantage of a late powerplay opportunity, but could not beat Francey, so for the second time in two games this season in the Battle of North Durham, extra time was needed to determine a winner. The Bruins caught a break less than 30 seconds into overtime, when a Bruins defender knocked the puck into his own net, only for the referee to rule it had been the result of a high stick. Both teams had great opportunities down the stretch, with Jarett Smith ringing a shot off the post and Kyle Schweda denied on a breakaway. However, 65 minutes of play were not enough and the game headed to a shootout. Locke beat MoJacks netminder Blake Shaw on the first attempt, with Cole Murray denied by Francey. Then, both Jarett Smith and Kyle Powell had their attempts turned aside. Marco Mastrangelo would end the game by beating Shaw high over his blocker to seal a 4-3 Bruins victory. Coupled with a 5-2 win over the Clarington Eagles in Uxbridge on Friday, Oct. 17, the Bruins have now won three games in a row as of press time, a stretch that has invigorated the team, as well as Head Coach Geoff Hodgkinson, who added that with the added parity in the COJHL this season, every point will be crucial.

Uxbridge Bruins on a three game win streak F RO M PAG E 1 0
“Three-in-a-row has really got our spirits back up,” Hodgkinson told The Standard. “A lot of teams in this league have gotten a lot deeper and it’s going to be a grind this season and ultimately come down to hard work and a matter of putting in the necessary effort for 60 minutes, or 65, like it was this afternoon.” Meanwhile, MoJacks Head Coach Clair Cornish was pleased with the way his team had rebounded after falling by a score of 3-1 to the Georgina Ice in Keswick on Friday night. “Our team played well today, I thought we played to out identity and had a good bounce back effort after our last game,” said Cornish. Loose Pucks: - Mastrangelo had a three point night with a goal and two assists against the Eagles on Friday night, as the Bruins picked up the first win of the season on home ice. Jarett Smith scored twice in the win, with Daryl Thomson and Alex Williamson chipping in with singles. - Todd McNair netted the lone goal for the MoJacks against the Ice. - The MoJacks welcomed the visiting Tilburg Trappers Under-15 team from the Netherlands during pregame ceremonies on Sunday, including the playing of the Dutch national anthem. - Both North Durham sides were in action on Tuesday, Oct. 21 (after press time) with Georgina in Uxbridge and the MoJacks visiting Lakefield. - The Little Britain Merchants posted the biggest win of the season in the COJHL on Sunday, when they downed the North Kawartha Knights 10-0 in Apsley. - The Bruins play just once this weekend, when the Merchants make their first appearance of the season in Uxbridge on Friday, Oct. 24, at 7:45 p.m. - The MoJacks tangle with the Clarington Eagles at Scugog Arena on Sunday, Oct. 26, starting at 2:25 p.m. in the first meeting of the season between the teams.
Season finale Saturday at Kawartha Downs At the start of 2014, it appeared that horse racing would no longer take place at Kawartha Downs in Fraserville, which had hosted harness races for more than 40 years. However, due to some last minute negotiations between area MPP Jeff Leal (who also serves as the Minister of Rural Affairs), track owner Harvey Ambrose and the Ontario Racing Commission, an 18-date season (every Saturday night from mid-June to October) was announced in late May. That season has turned out to be one of the most successful in the track’s history and will come to an end this Saturday, Oct. 25, with several special events planned including 12 races with elevated purses, chances to drive a Standardbred on the racetrack, a multitude of prizes, free programs, loot bags for those in Halloween costumes, balloon animals for the kids and more. “We are thrilled at the way this season has turned
out and want to use our final night of racing as a way to express our gratitude to our loyal and new fans, our staff and our horse people. We didn’t have much time to pull this season together and a lot of people stepped up to make it happen and make it so successful,” noted Heather MacKay Roberts who was hired as Marketing Director for the track just prior to the start of the season along with respected racing administrator Ian Fleming who served as race secretary and oversaw the racing operations. “We have a lot of extras planned for this Saturday’s card to help send the season out on a high note,” added MacKay Roberts, a long time journalist and event co-ordinator in the Standardbred industry. The final racing night of the season at Kawartha Downs gets underway at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26. Plans are already in progress for next year’s season with dates to be announced once approved.

SwimKids opened its doors in Port Perry in 1991. Small class sizes, quality instruction and individualized lesson plans, along with dedicated customer service, have made SwimKids the success it is today. Our unique design incorporates a large 20’ x 40’ pool with a 60’ swimming lane. The air and the water temperature are kept at a comfortable 90ºF and our change rooms are equipped with showers and washrooms. Our viewing room allows parents to watch their child’s progress and milestones though a one-way viewing window in air-conditioned comfort. There is also seating available outside on our deck. Classes are semi-private or private (4 children with 3 teachers). Instructors are trained, beyond their qualifications, with SwimKids techniques. Regardless of age, instructors are in the pool at all times (not on the deck) demonstrating and manipulating proper techniques with the swimmer. Your child’s progress is updated weekly, verbally and in an individual folder parents can check at each lesson. SwimKids is now booking for winter lessons and has daytime spots available. School aged children are welcome Mon, Wed & Fri from 8 am – 12:30 pm (age 2½ and up). Once registered, clients are able to attend free Play Swims (there are 4 each week). We also offer adult swims, aquafit and arthritic therapy in the pool. 905-985-1709 16625 Old Simcoe Rd.

Port Perry Shoppers Drug Mart’s Pharmacist/Owner, Doug Brown is celebrating his 20th year in practice in Port Perry. After starting out as a hospital pharmacist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto and then in primary care in Sudbury and London, Mr. Brown moved to Port Perry in 1994 to run Bruton’s Big V Pharmacy on Queen Street. In 1996, he franchised the store an joined the Canadian Pharmacy icon, Shopper Drug Mart, which he owns to this day. A tireless advocate for health and our local hospital, Doug is passionate for the Scugog Community. “My father was Engineer and had his own private practice in Bowmanville, so being in business for yourself was a natural progression for me. He was a member of the Rotary Club, and together with my mother, he taught my siblings and I that you don’t get to live in a community without giving something back.”. Although the Port Perry Hospital Foundation has been a high profile focus for Doug, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, G-Moms, Community Living Durham North, Operation Scugog and many others have all benefited from his support. “Owner-operated businesses deserve our support” he says. “You can always tell when you’re at a business where the owner is on-site. There’s a warmth....a passion...a caring that can’t be duplicated. It’s neighbours taking care of neighbours. It may sound cliche, but it’s important to a successful community”.

I graduated with a diploma in Recreation and Leisure Services but my passion for animals lead me to continue my studies under renowned dog trainer/behaviour therapist Norma Jeanne Laurette. I have worked and trained dogs for over 15 years. For many winters, I worked up north, as a dog sled guide with Chocpaw Expeditions. I lead overnight dog sled expeditions into the interior of Algonquin Park. This experience made me realized that I enjoyed working with both dog and people. From there I managed a doggie daycare, boarding and training facility in Bowmanville. Currently I have two full time jobs, one as a mother to an adorable 3 year old boy and also as a vet assistant, at the Pet Hospital on Main St, in Uxbridge, 4 on the Floor offers group and private training from puppy to advance. I also have classes outside, tricks seminars and Pet First Aid. We use positive reinforcement and I invite the entire family to participate. Opening 4 on the Floor Dog Training was a long time goal of mine. I enjoy working with both owner and dog to create a well mannered member of the family.

Diane Smith of db silversmith designs has always been a lover of distinctive silver jewellery. After taking courses in the art of silversmithing and spending many hours labouring over and perfecting her craft, her entrepreneurial spirit led her to establish db silversmith designs. Her early foray into business was displaying and selling her designs at juried art and craft shows across Ontario. Her success at these venues encouraged her to eventually establish a retail boutique in her home town of Port Perry. Diane has seen her business grow from small beginnings to become a local destination for those looking for her unique, made-on-the-premises silver jewellery. Her success is a testimony to the quality of her work and the value that she can offer by being the store’s Owner/Artist. In recent months she has moved to larger premises on Queen Street and now offers a small selection of work from other talented Ontario artisans whose work is distinctive from Diane’s. By doing so she now offers an eclectic mix of truly handcrafted, made in Ontario, jewellery.

According to owner Laura Gray, everything changes pretty quickly at the Coach House Studio, located at the corner of Durham Rd. 21 and Marsh Hill Rd. in Utica, and no two shopping experiences are the same. The Coach House Studio opened its doors in September of 2013, with renovations continuing this year, when the barn area opened this past summer, which has now been transformed into a Christmas wonderland, just in time for the holiday season. “We have a huge variety of products because we feature over 40 vendors ranging from antique dealers to artists and photographers, repurposed and refinished items and a huge array of home decor, kitchenware, fashion accessories and jewellery,” said Laura. “We have something for everyone, which was my vision, the stock is ever evolving and always changing.” The next evolution of the Coach House Studio will occur in the spring, when a Tea Room is slated to open at the store. Laura adds that, in preparation for the new offering, teas and Amish jams are currently available. The Coach House Studio’s rural setting provide the perfect backdrop for a serene shopping experience. “As an interior designer, I’ve always been involved with design and this is something that I’ve always wanted to do, and when we found the property, it seemed like the perfect place to open the Coach House Studio.

For Envoy Business Services owner David Brooker, the choice to open his own store in his hometown versus a daily commute to Toronto was an easy one. The local business services store opened its doors to the community in September 2010, and in those years, Envoy has helped everyone, from students purchasing school supplies to local businesses. “I’ve been in print for 26 years, and this was the next logical step,” said Mr. Brooker, who previously worked as a designer and pre-press press manager before opening Envoy. Mr. Brooker and Envoy offer numerous customized and personalized services. Printing of all sorts is available - from business cards to bulletins to banners - and all materials are printed with high-quality digital equipment. Envoy now offers printing of Architectural drawings at $3 each. Photocopying services are also available for customers looking to duplicate existing documents.

For Mr. Brooker, it’s a combination of industry experience and community pride that sets him apart from competitors. “I like the community and try to support local activities,” said Mr. Brooker. “I also want to help the customer save money - I’ve been in this business a long time and know how to take care of the client.”

In response to these issues, Mr. Shukla took it upon himself to become a certified Diabetic Instructor, and regularily holds workshops, clinic and classes addressing nutrition, foot care and medication counselling. “As a small business owner, when I see a need in my clientele I do what I can to address it - and stock my shop’s shelves with the items they need to remain happy and healthy,” said Mr Shukla.

Andrew and Heather have been in the business of moving since 1979, when they got their start in their home country of the United Kingdom. After spending many years in the industry, they decided to bring their honest and caring work ethic to the forefront - and opened up Port Perry Moving and Storage eight years ago, in the heart of Scugog Township. With a personal service, and an extraordinary level of care, Andrew and Heather stay involved and in-touch with all of their moving crews - and currently operate with a pool of three trucks. Most of Andrew and Heather’s business comes in the form of a word-of-mouth reputation and recommendations - Andrew explained that this is made possible by extraodinary service, no double bookings as a rule, and complete liability for their customers belongings. Port Perry Moving and Storage are a local business, but they are ready and willing to travel any distance to meet the needs of their customers. Heather’s advice for small business owners is to keep things personal and in control - Heather still handles the date book and every phone call their team recieves, and she personally ensures that large moving days are given all of the time available, in order to be ready for any delays or extra work needed.

The Deloitte Super League started its season last week at the Port Perry Curling Club. This year, the league has grown by two teams to a total of twelve teams, meaning the league now plays two draws at 6:45 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Thursday nights. Defending champion Team Gus Brown, with third Ken Jeffrey skipping the team this week for Don Beaton, welcomed one of the new teams Uxbridge’s Bruce Jefferson, sponsored by Len Graphics. Gus Brown had control early in this game taking their deuce in the first. However Len Graphics was struggling early with the ice and gave up steals of four and then two to trail 8-0. However, Len Graphics would score three, then steal a single to cut the Gus Brown lead by half. In the sixth, it was looking like another steal, but Jeffrey made a beautiful shot through the port to remove the opposition counters and score two. That was the game and Gus Brown starts their season where they left off with a convincing 10-4 victory. Other victorious teams were The Pub (Willie Beaton), HUB International (Rob Larmer), Lake Scugog Lumber (Carol Jackson), Nerium International (Sue McKnight), and Last Rock Curling (Rob Steele). Curling Club Championships this Weekend The Lindsay Curling Club will be playing host to the Travelers Curling Club Championship playdowns this weekend. Formerly known as the Dominions, Travelers Insurance has taken over the sponsorship of this event which gives curling club champions the opportunity to compete against representatives from other clubs and earn the opportunity to play at a Provincial and National level. This year’s National Championship will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Don Beaton and Sue McKnight will represent Port Perry at the double-knock-out competition. Both teams earned the opportunity to represent the club based on the finish in the Deloitte Super League last season. Uxbridge did not send any teams this year. Thirteen men’s teams and nine women’s teams are vying for the coveted spot at Provincials the following weekend in Cornwall. Good Luck teams! Another Successful Fall League Concludes After three and a half weeks of curling action, the annual fall competitive league at the Port Perry Curling Club concluded before Thanksgiving weekend. The big winner was Nathan Martin from Oshawa downtown. His team of Seth Vogan, Nick Moffatt, and Todd Johnston were the only unbeaten team, earning seven victories in all seven games. Port Perry’s Don Beaton finished strong and ended up with a 5-2 record. Uxbridge’s Rob Houston and his new mens team, also earned two victories in the final week to finish with a 5-2 record. Port Perry’s Sue McKnight ended up with 2 wins on the season. News From the Competitive Circuit Port Perry’s Carol Jackson, who throws third stones for the Suzanne Frick squad from Guelph, played in the Stroud Sleeman Cash Spiel this past weekend. The team finished their round robin with one win and two losses. The team played well, but it was a very strong field, with one of the team’s losses coming against Coldwater’s Sherry Middaugh, who ended up losing the final to Julie Hastings from Bayview. Sue McKnight’s team had a tough weekend of curling at the Stu Sells Toronto Tankard which was held Thanksgiving weekend. Unable to score a victory in any of their four games, the team is looking to rebound strong at their next event, the Cookstown Cash on the weekend of Nov. 8.

Petissimo returns - seeks volunteers The Drawer Boy - Truth and Reality on the Farm HOWARD LINSCOTT Special to The Standard
Guitarist Maneli Jamal was just of the performers who rocked Town Hall on May 30 - during the first annual Petissimo concert. STANDARD FILE PHOTO BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard
NORTH DURHAM: Petissimo, the annual benefit concert in support of the New Animal Shelter for Uxbridge-Scugog (NASUS) is returning for its second elegant evening of music, fine wine, and fine company. Event organizers Glen Kowarsky and Joanne O’Neil are gearing up for Petissimo 2015 - aiming to surpass last year’s mark of $7,000 raised for the Shelter. Once again, this will be a unique an elegant evening filled with a mix of musical genres, including Jazz, Big Band, Opera, Classical, and Latin / Flamenco Guitar. Petissimo will once again be taking place at Port Perry’s Town Hall 1873, located at the corner of Simcoe St. and Queen St., on Saturday, June 6, 2015. According to Mr. Kowarsky, who will also be
bringing his powerful opera singing to the stage, Petissimo is in need of volunteers for the concert’s organizational committee. This group will plan every aspect of the evening, including the venue set up and signage, marketing and promotion, social media, ticket sales, arrangements with local restaurants, reception planning, and sponsorship. The committee will meet in person and via conference call on a regular basis, beginning every two weeks, moving towards weekly meetings as the event date approaches. For further information, visit Petissimo on Facebook at www.facebook.com/pages/ Petissimo/1397774733824415, or contact Mr. Kowarsky and Ms. O’Neil by e-mail at Petissimo@ dogsatcamp.com.
Mayor’s Gala to focus on First Nations SCUGOG: Port Perry’s annual arts gala and fabulous fall fundraiser will focus on First Nations arts and culture this year. The Mayor’s Gala for the Arts, a lively and elegant evening that raises money for the Scugog Council for the Arts, will take place on Thursday, Nov. 6. Tickets are still available. The theme of the evening is First Nations Inspired, and grew from a desire to honour the many ways that the Baagwating Community Association and Mississaugas of Scugog Island have contributed to the community. First Nations members have been active in helping to organize the event. The Mayor’s Gala is organized each year by a team of Scugog Arts Council volunteers. The group has been
working since early February to plan the event. First Nations entertainers, a gourmet menu inspired by and featuring traditional and local foods and some exceptional work by Indigenous artists are some of the highlights. The Baagwating Community Association is a sponsor again this year, along with Vos’ Independent, Scotiabank and Gus Brown. “We’re so fortunate to have such tremendous community and business support to make the Arts Gala such a success,” said committee chair Birgitta MacLeod. “In addition to our key sponsors there are more than a hundred other contributors, including businesses that donate to the silent auction and volunteers that make whole evening so much fun.”
For a taste of what’s to come, the SCA is currently hosting an exhibit of First Nations art and fine craft in the SCA’s public gallery at 181 Perry St. Seven artists are featured and the works include sculpture, beadwork, jewellery and visual art. All the work is available for purchase, although some of the pieces are only available as part of the silent auction at the Mayor’s Gala. For more information about the SCA and to purchase tickets for the Mayor’s Gala for the Arts, call 905985-2121. You can also purchase tickets online at www. scugogarts.ca. The Gala takes place on Nov. 6, inside the Scugog Community Centre, located at 1655 Reach St.
SCUGOG: The Borelians current offering at Town Hall 1873, The Drawer Boy, earned the playwright Michael Healey the 1999 Governor General’s Award for Drama. It’s easy to see why. Its three characters compel our attention at the outset and, without letting up, draw us ever more deeply into their story right to the end. Set on a farm in Clinton, Ontario in 1972, the play opens when Miles, a young actor with Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto, arrives at the farm of two bachelor brothers, Angus and Morgan. Miles’s goal is to learn about farm life for the play he is writing. What he learns goes far beyond that. Miles uncovers, bit by bit, the nature of the bond between these two men and the events of thirty years previous that still rule their lives. The dominant theme in the Drawer Boy is, broadly, truth. For Miles it is simple. As an actor, truth informs the reality of his performance and inspires awareness in his audience. For the brothers Angus and Morgan it is much more complicated. The truth of their common memory has powerful effects on the deeper reality of their relationship. Bring a farmer friend to this play if you know one. He or she will be happy to see their reality accurately presented on stage. One scene has the brothers enumerating the financial facts of farming. The dollar figures are frankly shocking -- for more reasons than their age. There are wonderful comedic moments in the Drawer Boy. Morgan can’t resist having some fun at the expense of Miles and his ignorance of farming. Angus’s discovery of theatre, and the levels of reality involved when an actor portrays a real person on stage, is delightful. And playwright Healey is lampooning actors
when he shows Miles struggling to understand and portray the inner life of a cow. Feel free to laugh out loud. The Drawer Boy is based on an actual historic event. In the 70s, actors from Theatre Passe Muraille lived and worked for a summer on farms in Clinton to gather material for their collective documentary play The Farm Show. The first performance of a successful rural tour was in Ray Bird’s barn, a reference you will hear in the announcer’s opening address to the audience. The actors have done their research to capture the essence of their characters: Kyle Dickie as Miles, the innocent but naïve actor; David Geene as Morgan with an outward crustiness that hides a deeply caring heart; and John Lunman with his stunning portrayal of Angus, a seemingly simple man with a complex mix of mental deficits and assets. This is John’s first appearance with the Borelians. The set of The Drawer Boy deserves a special mention. The audience peeks through a deconstructed exterior wall into the kitchen of a farmhouse. The inside walls are a metaphor for Morgan and Angus’s memories -- partially peeled back in places, revealing the beams and even the wiring within. Set decorators Jan and Wally Taylor have given us an accurate and unromantic portrait of a well-used farm kitchen in the early 1970s with its motley collection of furnishings from the prior decade. Completing our immersion into 1972 is an allNeil Young soundscape created by Michael Serres. The Drawer Boy opened last week but tickets are still available for this weekend -- Thursday through Saturday evenings, plus a Saturday matinee. Friday night attendees get the added experience of an expert adjudication after the show. For tickets, call the Town Hall 1873 box office at 905-985-8181, or visit www.townhall1873.ca.

SCUGOG: See what’s growing in the Kent Farndale Gallery next month! Local watercolour artist Pamela Meacher is excited to present a solo art show featuring gorgeously detailed renditions of flowers, fairies, plants, leaves and all-manner of beautiful flora and fauna. Titled ‘Radical Botanicals and More’ Ms. Meacher’s show will feature recent works, alongside her classic illustrations. Regarding her latest work ‘The Resting Post’ Ms.
Meacher said, “I’m taking a step back into my painting methods from 15 years ago - incorporating my tight and detailed style, within some of the more loose and open illustrations.” Come and meet Ms. Meacher, her flowers, and her fairies during the grand opening reception at 2 p.m. on Nov. 1, taking place at the Kent Farndale Gallery inside the Scugog Memorial Public Library, 231 Water St. A master painter and author, Ms. Meacher was exposed to the profound mysteries and beauty of

Ms. Meacher’s botanical watercolours often include birds, butterflies and woodland sprites, which harkens back to the Victorian Arts and Crafts movement.

Presently, Pamela is Vice President of The Scugog Council for the Arts and past Vice-Chair of the Public Arts Acquisitions Committee.
