Uxbridge to swat wasp problem at park UXBRIDGE: Township staff has developed a creative strategy to deal with an ongoing infestation of wasps at a local playground. A report issued to councillors at their meeting on the morning of Monday, Oct. 7 from Township Facilities Manager Bob Ferguson detailed the issue of wasp infestation that has plagued the Mason Homes playground on Apple Tree Cres. for the past three years.

YOUR HOME MAY BE WORTH MORE THAN YOU THINK.

As a result of the continued wasp infestation, a rubberized surface will replace the existing sand at the playground to combat the issue. According to Mr. Ferguson’s report, the amount of wasps that have buried themselves in the sand has made the park unusable for residents in the area. Numerous attempts have been made by Parks Department staff to rid the park of the wasps over the past three years, including spraying nests, roto-tilling the sand weekly, and even the com-

plete removal of the sand in the sand box and replacing it with new sand. However, wasps have continued to reappear now for the third straight year resulting in the playground closure for most of the season. Mr. Ferguson noted that the residents in the Mason Homes area have been very understanding throughout this process to remove the insects, however there are a few residents that have children with severe allergies.

SCUGOG: The Blackstock Recreation Complex, located at 3440 Church Street, is the heart of many events for the people of Blackstock, including many sports games and the annual Blackstock Fair. The question of who would be in charge of the planned renovation and updating of this aging building was put to the bench at Scugog Council’s meeting on Monday, Oct. 7. The decision was made to award the contract, worth $19,000 plus HST, to Nick Swerdfeger Architects Incorporated, based out of Oshawa. The proposal they put forward was approved due to their estimated cost being several thousand dollars lower than the other six agencies who bid, despite the fact that they scored slightly lower on their Township evaluation of completing similar projects involving heritage buildings. The Durham Agricultural Society helped to secure a Trillium Grant for the Township. The grant, amounting to $128,000, will be added to last year’s grant of $129,402 for a total of $257,402. A portion of this money will be used to secure the architectural firm, who will plan the much-needed makeover for the building. The renovation will focus on improved accessibility and updating the bathroom, kitchen and ventilation facilities.

Epsom road safety discussed BLAKE WOLFE The Standard

SCUGOG: Although still in development, a proposal by the Scugog Road Watch committee could see a grassroots approach to traffic safety and road monitoring implemented in the community of Epsom. The proposal was presented to council last week by Ward 1 Councillor Larry Corrigan, who also sits on the RoadWatch committee. Following the recent removal of the crossing guard position at the Marsh Hill Rd./Reach St. intersection in front of Epsom Public School, the councillor said that local residents again expressed safety concerns over stu-

dents crossing a busy roadway, with a history of speeding motorists. The Epsom intersection was one of several affected by a Scugog Council decision earlier this year which resulted in the shuffling of school crossing guards across the township, increasing their presence at some intersections while leaving others vacant. Councillor Corrigan explained that the program could include such aspects as training local volunteers to report dangerous driving incidents on voice recorders, including the potential recruitment of high school students to electronically transmit that data to Durham po-

lice. That aspect of the proposal, said Councillor Corrigan, would allow for quicker and easier reporting of traffic incidents. Currently, reports to RoadWatch can be completed on-line or by filling out a form at various locations throughout the township. “How do you use RoadWatch when you have to put something down in paper?” said the councillor. “You can get a voice recorder for under $50 – we’re trying to look at creative ways to solve the issue.” The proposal will next be discussed on Oct. 18 and 30 by members of the Road Watch committee.

Happy Thanksgiving from

Please note that The Standard office will be closed on Monday, October 14th for Thanksgiving Day.

The township report also noted that Swerdfeger had a strong reference check and a solid understanding of working with municipalities. Manager of Recreation and Culture, Craig Belfry stated that, “we are very comfortable with their score, which was highest overall in our survey. [Swerdfeger] has done work involving accessibility and kitchens, work in a municipal setting, and tight timelines. “We received six bids for the Blackstock Recreation Complex renovation,” said Mr. Belfry. “The companies who submitted bids for the contract were rated depend-

ing on the categories of experience with similar projects, references of work on a heritage building in a municipal setting and price.” After the motion was carried, council stated that they would begin finalizing plans. Mr. Belfry explained that “the next phase involves contact with the architect and the advisory committee, who will create a tender to put out a bid for a construction company.” Scugog Township hopes that after the appropriate research, the bid will be awarded to the appropriate construction firm by December 1, 2013.

Port Perry Marina lease extended BENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

With the current lease of the Port Perry Marina from December 20, 2012 up for expiry at the end of the month, Scugog Council raised the question this week of whether to extend the lease to next year or not. At the Scugog Township Council meeting on October 7, Mayor Chuck Mercier and councillors approved the extension of the lease on the Port Perry Marina until October 31, 2014. The signing of this ‘steady-as-she-goes’ contract means that the township will maintain its income from the marina, and be in a better position to begin improvements next year. “I have noted that the Waterfront Steering Committee discussed this matter, their consensus was that the recommendation was in order,” said Director of Community Services Don Gordon. “Some of the timelines associated

with the waterfront project show that there is a lot of work to be done and we recommend that the Marina lease be approved so that the work can be guaranteed to be accomplished.” The extended lease will carry the same terms and conditions including adjustment, meaning that at the end of October, the current rental payments of $1,045.15 per month will increase to $1,957.80 per month until March 31, 2014. In April of 2014, the Port Perry Marina rent will be adjusted in accordance with the Consumer Price Index, a measurement used to track inflation. The continuation of this lease and its predicted increases means a steady income for the township, to the measure of approximately $19,633 in 2014. A township staff report stated that it is highly unlikely at this point in the year that construction on phase two of the water-

front project will even begin by Oct. 31, 2014, due to the immense amount of research, documenting and paperwork that must be completed before a bid for a construction company is put out. Scugog Township has decided to play it safe and ensure that they have plenty of time to work out the finer details before beginning construction.

Correction In the Oct. 3 edition of The Standard, the caption accompanying the photo of the Port Perry Dental Associates’ ‘Dentistry From The Heart’ event incorrectly stated that 35 volunteers from Durham College participated. There were 35 volunteers total, five of whom were Durham College students, who assisted Dr. Rami Maarouf, Dr. Sandro Del Rosso, Dr. Farah Walji and Dr. Bob Boyko at the event. The Standard regrets the error.

Wasp problem closed playground again F RO M PAG E 1

To combat the issue, township staff have looked into removing the sand and replacing it with a rubberized surface that will meet CSA Standards, in the hopes that the new surface will eliminate the insects from being able to penetrate the ground, and hopefully eliminate the issues area residents have been dealing with for the last three years. However, Ward 4 Councillor Jacob Mantle expressed concerns over the possibility of wasps migrating to nearby areas, and continuing to plague the playground. “There will be none in the sand, but no guarantee that there won’t be any in the area,” commented

Councillor Mantle. “My concern is that if we have $30,000, do we replace equipment in other areas, rather than spend that money on a problem that might not get fixed?” Despite Councillor Mantle’s concerns, other members of council were on board with the project, and its potential for possible expansion to other areas of the municipality. As well, the playground in question is fully accessible, allowing all residents the ability to enjoy its use. “I think this gives us an excellent opportunity to test another surface for future use,” said Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor. “To have a playground that’s accessible to all residents just sit there unused is sad.”

SUNDERLAND by Denise Wilson The Veterans Dinner at the Sunderland Legion this past Saturday night was a full house and a heartwarming occasion!! Four Vets were honoured, one 75 year old, two 92 years old and one 89. One was fifteen when he joined up, even though the legal age was eighteen. Stew Bray stepped on a land mine and Matt Webb, a tail gunner, flew over Germany on the last flight at the end of the war. When we look at our 15 and 18 year old sons and grandsons it is hard to imagine them heading out to war, and yet all those young men went across the seas to guarantee our freedom!

The musical group, Voices of Showtime brought everyone to the edges of their chairs, toe tapping and singing along. They sang hits from Jimmy Dorsey, Glen Miller to the Drifters, the Everley Brothers, the Platters, the Four Lads and on and on. Can you remember them?

The Standard

EDITORIAL Doing the math Apparently, the company that owns three of Canada’s major league sports teams is hurting for money and the Government of Ontario is flush with enough cash to help out a struggling business. At least that’s the message imparted from the news last week that Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment would be getting a government handout, to the tune of $500,000, toward bringing the NBA All-Star game to Toronto in 2016. The payment, made without the usual fanfare reserved for such announcements, became known late last week amid much criticism from opposition parties and the public alike, with good reason. Let’s review: among its most obvious acquisitions, MLSE - jointly owned by Bell and Rogers and valued in excess of $2 billion - counts the Toronto Maple Leafs and Raptors, the Air Canada Centre in which both of those teams play, the Toronto FC soccer team, and three television sports channels. According to Forbes magazine, the Leafs alone top the National Hockey League’s most financially-viable clubs with a $1 billion appraisal. This is the same government of Ontario that currently holds an approximate $272 billion debt which, on a local level, last year clawed back annual payments to rural municipalities, which many small communities have come to more or less rely on in completing costly projects such as infrastructure improvements. Premier Kathleen Wynne defends the $500,000 MLSE contribution as an investment in the province’s economy. While an NBA All-Star game will definitely generate additional economic spin-off, it will benefit only those businesses within the vicinity of the event - and as long as fans of Toronto sports teams keep investing in MLSE each year, in the form of tickets and concession purchases, a contribution of public money to a $2 billion company is a tough pill to swallow. Now where are the free tickets? After all, we did pay for them.

Reader shares negative experience in search for employment To the Editor, Recently, my wife answered an ad for service staff posted by a very popular local restaurant. Eager to work, she spends countless hours preparing her resume for each job she applies for. This case was no different, knowing how competitive the job market is these days. The ad stated to please apply in person, so she enthusiastically went to the restaurant with her resume in hand in hopes of making a good first impression. With a smile she went into the establishment and was met by who we assume was the person in charge of hiring. Unfortunately, she was not met with the same enthusiasm, as the woman was quite dismissive and barely glanced at her resume. She told my wife that there were no positions of servers available and that

the only positions available were in the kitchen which required specific skills. Interestingly, she did not even take the time to review my wife’s resume or ask if she possessed the skills required. We were quite surprised and disappointed with how she was treated by what we have been told is a quite respected local business. For the record, my wife is an intelligent, well-educated, Asian woman, who moved to Canada two and a half years ago and has been working extremely hard to assimilate into the work force. We certainly didn’t want to think negatively that discrimination or racism was at play but the way she was dismissed raised concerns. So, the very next day my sister, who is Caucasian, went to the same restaurant “enquiring for a friend” about the exact same ad for the exact same position and was greeted with an enthusiastic smile and was told that

yes, that position is still available and for her friend to come in with a resume and apply in person. I am not one of those people that screams discrimination every time things don’t go our way, but this was blatant. It is hard enough for any Canadian to find work in this economy but when my wife has to deal with this obstacle on top of the rest, the deck is certainly stacked against her. It is truly disappointing that this still happens today and especially in the town I grew up in and love so much. Shame on this restaurant and any other business that filter out applicants based on the color of their skin. Fine dining, I think not!! Dale Bradbury Port Perry

OPINION

The voice of North Durham

Angler annoyed over red tape To the Editor, I am just an old fisherman that enjoys his peace and solitude out on a lake somewhere. I am not affiliated with any group, but would like to state my personal opinions regarding fishing on Lake Scugog which unfortunately is a thing of the past for me, because I can no longer get those things that I desire about fishing on our lake. We see in the last few years an over zealous police and MNR on the Lake with some ridiculous fines being handed out. I don’t take alcohol out in my boat nor do most fishermen that I know, and nor should we as that is the law. However, in the days when we were treated as responsible human beings, sure, I did take a couple on a long hot day. If we go out on Lake Scugog these days, you are going to be bothered by Durham Region Police and the MNR will pull you over - then half an hour later another will pull you

over for same thing. Go out the next day, they will do the same. We also have to look at local government as well who are making it more and more difficult for fishermen such as I to go out and have a great enjoyable day on the water by restricting access. What is the result of all this continual harassment by these people? It keeps people off the lake. This results in money lost to our local economy. Yesterday I visited our local bait supplier and he told me that he is selling his place because there are not many fishing on the lake and can’t afford his mortgage. Is this what the police, MNR and governments want? We see this trend throughout Ontario on ATV trails and snowmobile trails also. You are always going to have the idiots that break the laws, but why should we as pure fishermen continually have to pay the price of solitude because of the few. We pay our licenses so

that we can support our fisheries and MNR not to be continually harassed. I have a disabled sticker and the MNR says I should have a copy of this in the boat. Well, there is a fine by MOT of $5,000 for any copying of this. Like a lot of MNR rules, it’s stupid and ridiculous. Two years ago, I went to Saskatchewan and its not like that there, so why here? It’s time these enforcers of law also acted in a more responsible way. Yes, I am bitter that these people have taken the fun out of fishing Lake Scugog, hurting our economy and our Canadian way of life. They should spend more time catching polluters, people that destroy the shoreline and over harvesting of the stocks that is going on in Scugog, this is what we pay licenses for. Look at this summer and the absence of fishing boats on the lake. Dave Smallbrook Scugog

Fun and games in Cartwright? To the Editor, At the direction of Scugog’s CAO, Cartwright Fields in Nestleton is saved from the embarrassing problem of decapitation and impalement of ball players, as the lower ball diamond fence has been dressed with big O pipe. Thanks must be given to conscripted volunteers: man about Nestleton Frans Renes, ball player Denny Argue, arborist Joe Pouliot and Cartwright Councillor Wilma Wot-

ten and husband Tom. Council may rest easy that the potential for decapitation and impalement on the fence is a thing of the past. We now look forward to installing the kids bubble wrap body armour dispenser for their protection while using the playground. Isn’t bureaucracy fun? Colin Kemp Cartwright

Opposition pans bonus for Pan Am executives This past week, it was disclosed that the top Pan Am Games executives were being paid up to $400,000 in salaries. As well, they were still expensing $1.89 for tea, $9.92 for laundry, 91 cents for parking, and airfare to re-locate a pet. Talk about being entitled to your entitlements. Even the Premier of Ontario agreed these nickel-and-dime expense claims from senior officials were “unacceptable.” In Question Period, it was confirmed that the real cost of the Pan Am games is not the $1.4 billion the provincial government claims, but also an extra $700 million for the athletes’ village. This brings the total cost to $2.1 billion. News reports last week also indicated that senior Pan Am Games Officials will potentially get a share of $7 million in bonus money if they work for the duration of the Pan Am project and if the Games stay within the capital and operating budgets. The CEO in charge of the 2015 Pan Am Games could get up to $780,000 under the bonus agreements. That’s in addition to his base salary of $390,000 per year. This government is already reeling from cancelled gas plants, the ORNGE Air Ambulance fiasco and e-health. How many more scandals can Ontario endure? Sadly, nobody in government is demanding these expenses be paid back. If this government can’t get spending on the Pan Am Games under control, it should at least consider a quarterly audit of expenditures from now until the opening of the Games.

Quantity and quality The death of Dr. Donald Low, who manned the Canadian frontline during the SARS epidemic of 2003, has once again pulled the issue - however briefly - of doctor-assisted euthanasia back into the spotlight. No, the concept will never be 100 per cent OK with the entire population, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be considered, much less discussed openly. My argument is not a new or original one but that doesn’t make it invalid: Over the last five years I’ve taken two dogs - and one day, two cats - to the vet for their final visit and while it’s far from a happy occasion, I would not have wanted either of them to linger in pain any longer than necessary. While the thought of ending your animal’s life is not a pleasant thing to consider, neither is the inverse - that of a painful crawl toward the inevitable. Pets aside, many of us (myself included) have certainly watched family members go through drawn out illnesses from which no true recovery is possible. As a child, I dreaded such visits, witnessing first-hand the ravages of diseases like Alzheimer’s on formerly coherent relatives. Had they been allowed to at least consider the option when they had the chance, the

groups in Ontario election campaigns was defeated in second reading at the Ontario Legislature last week. I am disappointed that the Liberal and NDP members rejected the Bill. It was unanimously supported by our PC members of provincial parliament. In commenting on the Bill, Tim Hudak, Leader of the PC Official Opposition, pointed out there are responsible spending limits on all political parties during election campaigns. On the other hand, there are no similar rules governing third-party outsiders who are unelected and unaccountable. “This opens the door to incredible abuses of the democratic system,” Tim Hudak said. The legislation introduced by MPP Rick Nicholls (Chatham-Kent-Essex), was intended to ensure collusion between special-interest groups and political parties using the third-party advertising will not occur in Ontario elections. The Bill would have amended the Elections Finance Act restricting to $150,000 third-party election advertising in relation to the election in general, and $3,000 for individual ridings. British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec and New Brunswick, along with the federal government, have all adopted controls over third-party advertising. In my view, it should be the responsibility of each political party to make its case to the voters during an election. Each political party has the same election budget, so it is a fair process for all. Unrestricted spending on propaganda from special-interest groups has hijacked the last two provincial elections and has escalated negative ad campaigns.

A Thousand Monkeys inevitable end may have come sooner. It’s confusing to me that we allow (read: almost always choose for) our companion animals a relatively quick and painless departure from their lives of comfort, yet the thought of a loved one making the same choice for themselves is still considered ghoulish and barbaric by many. But any argument over assisted euthanasia should never be about death, but rather about life. There’s no arguing that when it comes to euthanasia, animals and people are very different matters. While a cherished pet occupies a special place with its owner(s), that love is nothing compared to that which exists between the human members of a family, and especially the loss felt with their absence. While it’s true that death affects not just the deceased but all those connected to him or her, most strongly in the event of tragedy or suicide, so does our living. And if, as individuals, we believe that our quality of life is negatively affecting not only ourselves but, to a lesser degree, our loved ones, the legal option to depart this world - in situations that call for such drastic measures - makes sense. And that’s all it would be - an option. It’s hard to

BLAKE WOLFE The Standard

@BlakeWolfeEdit

imagine the number of suicides in these situations increasing as a result. Legalizing doctor-assisted euthanasia would simply remove any legal ramifications for those involved and establish a process and protocol. Hundreds, if not thousands, of years of moral coding is not an easy thing to question, nor should it be, which is why a lengthy debate on the topic should be the first step. For me, it comes down to which is more immoral - having the chance to make such a decision for yourself in the event of prolonged illness or pain, or being denied that right? While opinions change (and mine are certainly not immune to the powers that cause such notions to bend and sway), I don’t currently relish the thought of spending longer than required in any situation that would rob me of my quality of life. Deep down, I don’t believe any of us do.

Breast Cancer Awareness month in Durham DURHAM: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Durham Region Health Department encourages women 50 and older to get screened regularly for breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in females in Ontario. “According to Cancer Care Ontario, in 2013, it’s estimated that 9,300 Ontario women will be diagnosed with breast cancer,” said Patricia Beasley, a public health nurse with the Health Department. “Sadly, 1,950 will die from this disease. “Despite these numbers, only 61 per cent of Ontario women 50 to 74-

years old were screened for breast cancer with mammography in 2010 to 2011. This means there are still many women who would benefit from regular breast cancer screening.” Research has shown that screening can help find breast cancer earlier when there are more treatment options and an improved chance of survival. Women who are considered both average and high risk can be screened through the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP). Average risk women, 50 to 74 yearsold, can be screened with mammography every two years without a referral, while high risk women, 30 to 69, can be referred

to the OBSP high risk screening program for an annual mammography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure. “A mammogram is a safe, low-dose x-ray of the breast that looks for tumors or any breast changes,” Ms. Beasley explained. “It can also find changes in the breast, even when they’re too small for you or your healthcare provider to feel or see. Screening saves lives; talk to your healthcare provider today about regular breast screening.” To learn more about breast cancer screening and the OBSP, visit durham.ca/screening or call Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729.

York police investigating dismemberment of cats in Stouffville STOUFFVILLE: York Regional Police and the Ontario SPCA are conducting investigations into a suspected case of animal cruelty following six incidents where the heads of dismembered cats were found placed in public locations in Stouffville last week. The grisly scene was concentrated in a one-kilometre area around Tenth Line and Main St. According to police, these

incidents - which occurred between Aug. 12 and Sept. 13 - are not believed to be accidental or a result of a predatory animal. “In each of the incidents, it appears at this time that it was intentional dismemberment,” Const. Andy Pattenden said at a news conference on Thursday, Oct. 3. Police added, that in five of the six

cases, the severed heads were found without any other cat remains, and none of the corresponding torsos have yet been found. York Regional Police is urging pet owners to avoid leaving their pets unattended outdoors. If you observe any suspicious activity or signs of animal cruelty you should contact police immediately.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the York Regional Police #5 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-866876-5423, ext. 7541, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-tips, leave an anonymous tip on-line at www.1800222tips.com or text your tip to CRIMES (274637) starting with the word YORK.

Hawk talk in Greenbank, Oct. 17 Their eyesight is more than five times sharper than ours. They can fly. They eat mice, snakes, squirrels, grasshoppers, and crickets. The female is larger than the male, and they range in size from robins to Canada geese. They were kept as pets by royalty. Do you know what these animals are? Hawks! The North Durham Nature Club invites area residents to learn more about these powerful birds of prey. Geoff Carpentier will give a talk on hawks on Thursday October 17, at the Greenbank Community Hall, starting at 8:15 p.m.

Mr. Carpentier is a local naturalist, photographer, author, traveller, and international nature guide with a special interest in hawks. He volunteers at the Cranberry Hawk Watch, and will explain what the annual counts of these majestic birds tells us about our environment. The slide talk is open to the public. Donations are accepted at the door, light refreshments will be served, and membership in the club is also available.

This led to the first step in a long career of building minor league baseball in Greenbank, and the whole Scugog/ Uxbridge Township. “Back in 1981, my sister and I decided to start a softball team for ladies, we got so much response from our ad in the newspaper that we ended up building two teams,” said Mrs. Ward. “Once Seagrave and Port Perry put their teams together, we had started the local Ladies Lob-ball League, which I played in for 25

When I stopped playing in 2006, there were 10 teams in our league!” Driven by support from the community and the success of the Ladies lobball League, it was natural for Mrs. Ward to continue supporting and boosting baseball for local residents of all ages, ensuring everyone had the chance to enjoy the sport she loved. “Once kids in this area finished their ball when they hit 18 years old, they had nowhere to play, so a few of us got together and created a 19 to 30 year old league,” said Ms. Ward.

Car myths debunked - keep your ride safe When it comes to performing regular maintenance on your vehicle, there are many misconceptions, and even the best of intentions can lead you to spend more money than necessary or even compromise your safety. Servicing your vehicle in accordance with your vehicle owner’s manual and visiting an automotive service technician for regular check-ups are two of the best ways to keep your vehicle running safely and efficiently on the roads, according to representatives at the Automotive Industries Association (AIA) of Canada, through the Be Car Care Aware (BCCA) program. “Canadian consumers receive a lot of misinformation about how often various maintenance tasks need to be performed,” said Marc Brazeau, President and CEO at AIA Canada. “When in doubt about vehicle maintenance requirements, always look at your vehicle owner’s manual and find a mechanic or service technician you trust.” The auto repair industry is an ultra-competitive market with variances in servicing fees and parts charges, so it may be worth your time to contact a number of local auto repair shops or to ask friends and family for recommendations until you find a shop that you are comfortable with. Shopping around instead of sticking with your dealer can also save you some of your hard earned cash as

the J.D. Power 2013 Canadian Customer Commitment Index Study finds that customers spend an average of $232 per visit for service at an aftermarket shop, compared with $264 per visit for service at the dealership. That’s not to say that aftermarket auto repairs are always cheaper, but it is worth doing your homework to find a service technician that you trust and that fits your budget. To ensure you are well informed about the maintenance needs of your vehicle, here are four common vehicle maintenance myths exposed: Myth #1: To maintain my vehicle warranty I must have my car serviced at a dealership. Truth: Typically, having your vehicle serviced at your dealer is not mandatory to keep your warranty in effect, unless the work being done is covered under your warranty. Under most contracts, maintenance may be performed by any qualified service facility or skilled automotive service technician, but be sure to read the fine print

on your purchase agreement and to keep accurate records and receipts in the event of a warranty dispute on a future repair. Myth #2: Vehicle service schedules are just a way for automotive service businesses to make money. Truth: Your vehicle’s service schedule was designed by automotive engineers, not service technicians. Maintaining your car according to the schedule outlined in your vehicle owner’s manual helps to maintain the reliability and efficiency of your vehicle, and preserves your investment. Myth #3: Warm weather means less car worries. Truth: Your vehicle requires routine maintenance all year round. Neglecting to check your cooling system is cited as a main reason for the mechanical failure of a vehicle. Failure to check your vehicle for radiator leaks, hose connection issues, or coolant fluid levels, can cause engine and transmission damage that can add up to thousands of dollars, even when the weather is nice. Be sure to

have your vehicle inspected regularly by a qualified service technician, or do it yourself if you’re experienced, to avoid breakdowns and costly repairs in the future. Myth #4: If you’re having brake issues, toppingup the brake fluid will fix the problem. Truth: Brake fluid works differently from other liquids in your vehicle. Low brake fluid levels indicate worn brakes or a leaking reservoir, so topping-up the fluid will not fix any problems. If the fluid level drops to or below the ‘low’ mark on the reservoir, get the brake system serviced immediately. You should also get a routine brake inspection when you rotate the tires, about every 10,000 to 13,000 kilometers. For more tips on how to improve the safety of your vehicle, you can visit www.

Barb Ward to be inducted to Sports Hall of Fame on October 24 F RO M PAG E 1 3

“My two sons played in the league, and I coached all three of my children’s teams when they were younger.” Now that Ms. Ward had a hand in establishing leagues for children and adults of all ages, the next step was to create something that the whole community of North Durham could get behind. She explained that she wanted to tie her work with the parks and recreation board into her years of baseball boosting, and provide an opportunity to let all things Greenbank grow. “The kids in Greenbank can’t wait to

hit 16 years old so that they can play in our three-pitch tournament,” said Ms. Ward. “Every year we hold a huge tournament in the park and the whole community turns out. It’s a community event with many volunteers and it’s also a great fundraiser for our parks and recreation.” Ms. Ward was recognized for her many hours of volunteering and nominated for the Scugog Sports Hall of Fame due to her role in the creation of many sporting opportunities. The leagues and teams that she has humbly kept running for all these years no doubt bring joy to many, children and adult alike, in the Greenbank community.

Bruins topple MoJacks in overtime thriller DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

They had to work overtime, but the Uxbridge Bruins took the first round in this year’s ‘Battle of North Durham’ with a 3-2 victory over the Port Perry MoJacks at Uxrena on Friday, Oct. 4. Scoring chances were at a premium for both sides in the early stages of the contest, as both defensive units did an excellent job of stifling the opposing offense. Ryan Nichols gave the MoJacks a 1-0 lead with just under four minutes to play in the first, when he spun with the puck and his shot fooled Uxbridge netminder Cody Northover. Kyle Schweda and Joe Lamanna earned assists on the play. With time ticking away in the first, Shane Smith got his stick on a point shot from Carter Vahey, and tipped the puck past MoJacks goalie Jeff Julien to knot the game 1-1 with just eight seconds left in the opening frame. Dylan Locke added an assist on the Bruins’ goal. Lucas Clark nearly put the MoJacks ahead early in the second period, but Jeremy Toupin made a great defensive effort to take away the powerplay scoring chance. For the second consecutive week, penalty problems plagued the Bruins throughout the middle stanza, with the team whistled for six infractions. However, Northover continued to shine in his first start in goal at the junior hockey level in the second, making several sensational saves to keep the game tied. With just under three minutes to play in the second, the Bruins took advantage of a MoJacks player having lost his stick. After a great stretch of cycling the puck around the offensive zone, Matt Allen bulldozed his way to the front of the net, and tipped in a shot from Vahey to give the Bruins a one-goal lead heading into the third period. Jarett Smith also assisted on the play. The Bruins continued to frustrate the MoJacks’ powerplay early in the third, with Tim ‘Honey Badger’ Bierema, Locke, Korey Brand and Paul Barton all submitting solid penalty killing efforts, while Northover continued his stellar play be-

Bruins captain Matt Allen reacts after netting a second period goal during Uxbridge’s 3-2 overtime victory over the Port Perry MoJacks in this season’s first edition of ‘The Battle of North Durham’ on Friday, Oct. 4 in Uxbridge.

However, perseverance would pay off for the MoJacks just before the midway point of the third, when Logan Evans charged into the crease, and slammed in a loose puck to tie the game 2-2.

down the stretch. The game opened up with time ticking away on the clock, as both sides desperately searched for the go-ahead goal. However, neither side could find the back of the net, and the game headed to overtime to determine a winner. After a frantic stretch to open the extra frame, Matt Allen caught a break when he attempted to send the puck to the front of the MoJacks’ net, only to have the puck

take an awkward bounce off the stick of a MoJacks defender and past Julien to lift the Bruins to victory against their North Durham rivals. Following the game, Bruins Head Coach Geoff Hodgkinson credited his team with another dynamic effort on special teams. “Guys are really rising to the challenge, and it’s testament to the boys’ hard work that they’ve been great on the penalty kill. Guys are really stepping up when we’re down a man, and it gives the whole team a real boost,” Hodgkinson told The Standard. As well, Hodgkinson was pleased with the goaltending effort put forth by the Northover. The Uxbridge native was spectacular in his junior debut, echoing the play of fellow Uxbridge goalie Max Tjin early in the campaign. “We’re looking at it like a 1a and 1b scenario, and trying to give both kids an opportunity to run with it,” Hodgkinson said. “I give Cody all the credit in the world, he played a great game for us. He came to play, and really rose to the occasion tonight.” Northover admitted he did suffer from some pre-game nerves, but once the game began, it was business as usual for the brother of former Bruins captain Kyle Northover. “I was nervous all day thinking about it, and to be honest, it was a little difficult to focus at school, but once the puck dropped that all went away, and I was able to get into the game right away,” Northover said. The frenzied atmosphere at Uxrena did little to deter to the focus of the 17-year-old Uxbridge native, who has previously played before capacity crowds with both the Uxbridge SS Tigers and Uxbridge Stars. “Playing in front of bigger crowds motivates me, and actually tends to make me less nervous,” Northover told The Standard. “At this point in the year, it’s more a matter of adjusting to the overall pace of the game, since it’s a lot quicker than at the Midget level.” T U R N TO PAG E 1 8

Atom Predators roll over Uxbridge Stars Local Junior ‘C’ DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

With the minor hockey season underway, the Atom Port Perry Predators made the trek across Lakeridge Rd. last week on Wednesday, Oct. 2, to square off with the Uxbridge Stars in a Lakeshore League contest. The first period was action-packed as the two sides traded scoring chances. Both teams were aided by strong goaltending in the early stages of the game as Predators netminder Gavin Bradt and Uxbridge’s Quinton Weir both made great saves to keep the game scoreless. Trent Ayres put the Predators on the scoreboard when he took a great pass from Gavin Stewart, and streaked down the ice, scoring on a well-placed backhand shot.

The Bruins looked to continue their winning ways the following night when they made the trek to Little Britain for their first meeting of the season with the Merchants. The Bruins would strike first in this contest, as Jason Simmonds netted his first goal of the season with just over three minutes left in the first, to give Uxbridge a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes of play. The teams traded chances throughout the second period, with neither side able to find the back of the net. Marco Mastrangelo had a penalty shot attempt turned aside by Little Britain goalie, and Uxbridge native Garrett Haden with just over five minutes remaining in the middle frame. Allen wasted little time putting the Bruins back on the scoreboard, netting his third goal of the weekend just 27 seconds into the third period, with Tyson Eastgate and Adam Bartholomew assisting. The Honey Badger gave the Bruins a three-goal advantage when he converted a great pass from Shane Smith just over four minutes later. Smith would conclude Uxbridge’s offensive barrage with a powerplay goal just past the mid-point of the third, with assists credited to Vahey and Thomas Sheedy. MoJacks close down Merchants The MoJacks looked to get back on track after their setback in Uxbridge, when the Little Britain Merchants paid a visit to Scugog Arena on Sunday, Oct. 6. Brodie Myers gave the MoJacks a 1-0 lead through 20 minutes of play, with Jeff St. Pierre and Conner Shingler chipping in with assists. Just under five minutes into the second period, St. Pierre notched a powerplay goal, assisted by Shingler to put the MoJacks ahead by two goals. Almost 10 minutes later, Terry Snoddon scored for the Merchants to cut Port Perry’s lead in half. However, shortly afterwards, the MoJacks exploded for two goals in less than a minute. First, Kyle Powell scored, with John St. John and Tyler Jennings adding assists. Jennings then lit the lamp, with St. John adding the lone helper on the play. A late powerplay goal from defenceman Colton Hawco rounded out the second period scoring, with St. John earning his third assist of the evening. The teams traded chances throughout the third period, but the damage was already done as the MoJacks cruised to a 5-1 win over the Merchants. Loose Pucks: - Tjin’s shutout of the Merchants on Saturday night was the first in the entire COJHL this season. - Uxbridge native Ryan Lavrench has gotten off to a hot start with the Fergus Devils of the Georgian Bay/ Mid-Ontario Junior Hockey League with two goals and two assists through the Devils’ first seven games of the 2013-14 season. The 19-year-old University of Guelph student made the almost unheard of jump from Uxbridge’s Midget/Juvenile House League to the Junior ‘C’ ranks this year. - The MoJacks whirlwind weekend wrapped up on Tuesday, Oct. 8 (after The Standard’s press deadline), with the team heading to Lakefield for their first match-up of the season with the Chiefs. - The second round of the ‘Battle of North Durham’ is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 13 at 6:50 p.m. in Port Perry as the Bruins make their first appearance of the season at Scugog Arena. - On Friday, Oct. 11, the Bruins will entertain the Clarington Eagles at Uxrena, with a 7:45 p.m. puck drop.

A great year to be a curling fan ROB STEELE Special to The Standard

Well it’s that time of year again, the start of another curling season in North Durham as granite rocks are now roaring down the ice in both Port Perry and Uxbridge. The sounds of laughter and stories being told are also heard as those winter friendships are renewed. Curling is a beautiful game and as a curler and curling fan, I always look forward to the start of another curling season. This year is a little extra special for curling fans.... this is an Olympic year. Since the introduction of curling as an official sport back in 1998, representing Canada at the Winter Olympics is now the ultimate prize of every competitive curler in Canada. With that, also comes the expectation that in February 2014, our country comes home with gold from Sochi. The process to determine Canada’s Olympic representatives is a grueling one, as teams have been playing up for this moment for the past three years. Playing in cash events and competitions to earn enough points and possible automatic berths into the Olympic Trials tournament. Other than the top six teams already earning spots in the eight-team Olympic Trials in Winnipeg in early December, the next step of that qualifying process starts on November 5, close to here, in Kitchener. The Road to the Roar is where twelve Mens and twelve Womens teams will play down to determine the final two spots in the Olympic Trials. It’s not very often that this level of curling competition makes its way to Ontario, so if you are a fan of the game, book your tickets to this great event. Support our athletes and become part of the Olympic spirit. With World silver medalist Brad Jacobs and reigning Olympic silver medalist Cheryl Bernard attending, you might just see a future Olympic champion in action. Go to curling.ca for more information. I just booked my tickets, so I hope to see you there! The Fall of Unbeaten Teams in Fall League We started last week with two remaining unbeaten teams, but the streaks ended last week for Team Nigh and Team Elliott. Dave Nigh’s Lindsay team got a rude awakening on Monday from Gary Down’s Whitby squad of Tom Worsley, George Sonley, and Blayne Pascoe. After taking 3 in the first, Downs, steals one in the second and four in the third to cruise to a 8-1, six-end victory. Downs would then contribute to the struggles

In the Monday/Wednesday League, Downs is joined atop the standings by Nathan Martin (Oshawa) and Nigh who all share identical 4-1 records heading into the final week. After a convincing win against Whitby’s Stephanie Van Huyse, Team Elliott was set for a showdown against Ray Balachorek’s Oshawa Golf team of Tom Clancy, Dave Boyes, and Brian Robinson. Balachorek made the playoffs at the provincial senior mens last season and is totally focussed on taking that next and final step this season. Team Elliott would dictate play early leading 2-0 af-

Rebels take bronze at LOSSA DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

After a dominant stretch on the links over the past three years, the Port Perry HS Rebels match play golf team settled for a bronze medal at last week’s LOSSA golf championships. The tournament drew the top high school golfers from across Durham Region to the Royal Ashburn Golf Club for two intense days of stroke play competition on Monday, Sept. 30 and Tuesday, Oct. 1. The Rebels’ four-man team would shoot a combined 479 over the tournament, finishing 16 strokes behind the gold medalists from Sinclair SS (Whitby) and 14 behind the secondplace fnishers from Donald A Wilson SS (Whitby). Port Perry’s Sam McNulty finished

one stroke off the pace in the individual standings with rounds of 72 and 73, settling for second behind Wilson’s Spencer Dobbs. Fellow Rebels Paul Colman, Robbie Crozier and Spencer Bergstrom also fired competitive rounds over the twoday event. Kurtis Kelly led the way for the entry from Uxbridge SS, shooting rounds of 83 and 84, to finish the tournament in 21st place overall. Clayton Lewis, Roger Lagace and Connor Evans rounded out the Tigers’ team that ultimately finished the tournament in seventh place, with a combined score of 521. Prior to this tournament, the Rebels had won four consecutive championships in LOSSA golf competitions, winning two stroke play titles and two match play titles in the spring.

ter two ends, but Balachorek would answer with singles in the next two ends to tie the score at two after four ends of play. Elliott would take two with hammer in the fifth, followed by Balachorek with three in the sixth. Elliott replies with a deuce in the seventh to take the lead 6-5, but it was Balachorek delivering the final blow with hammer in the eighth, scoring two points and the 7-6 victory. With the win Balachorek pulled into a tie with Elliott and Cannington’s Shannon Beddows at 4-1 for top spot in the Tuesday/Thursday league. All eyes will be on the Balachorek vs Beddows game on Tuesday and then the Beddows vs Elliott match on Thursday, which will conclude another season of the fall curling league.

PPHS Plays It Forward SCUGOG: Port Perry High School will be hosting a benefit event in support of cancer research on Wednesday, October 23. The Talent Cafe will be the first of three set to take place this school year and will have performances by individual students and by independent groups formed by students at the school. These three nights are part of a larger organized fund raiser for Cancer Research, called Play It Forward, held by Port Perry High School. Last year, the school raised over $5,800 for cancer research with the Play It Forward events, which included the music councils annual Terry Fox Run/Walk, the Concerts and Talent Nights, and the Movember Staff pool. Students would donate money and at certain milestones, different teachers would have to grow a mustache. The fundraiser last year helped support cancer research and they hope this year is even better.

Organization offers abused New on-campus bistro now women aid by the basketful open at Durham College NORTH DURHAM: Abused women rely on a small army of volunteers to help them rebuild their lives. Living in a shelter, and setting up on their own once suitable housing is secured, is a very stressful time that requires sacrifice and bravery. Many agencies and organizations are generous when it comes to providing for the needs of the children of abused women, making sure they have clothes, toys, school supplies, and Christmas gifts. However, there’s very little in the way of support of a personal nature for the women themselves. This is where a special group helps. “Basketeers” is an organization devoted to providing baskets of goods for women leaving shelters to begin their new lives. The contents of these white laundry hampers are all brand new items, and they often follow a theme: beauty and bath; coffee time; dressing for success; kitchen goodies; mix and match. The staff at the shelter decide what each woman’s greatest need is, and select an appropriate basket as their parting gift. The baskets are filled by individuals, service clubs, colleagues, church groups, and families, at an average cost of $100 - $150. You start by buying a white laundry hamper, then choose a theme and purchase items to fill the basket. Some start their next basket during the January sales! Last year, 1,437 baskets were collected by ten Basketeers chapters. The York Basketeers Chapter includes Uxbridge and

Virginia Slike started the York Chapter in 2001 after seeing the benefit of the original program through her volunteer work in local women’s shelters. “I know Basketeers will enrich the lives of many women and children currently in our shelter system.” A recent arrival from Unionville, Ms. Slike is excited to expand the program into Uxbridge, Port Perry and Stouffville. “These women may pack a small suitcase when they leave but most of what they take with them is for their

kids, not themselves. Our baskets give them personal items that they need but are reluctant to ask for themselves, as it seems selfish.” Basketeers was started in 2000, by a group of women who recognized the need to help the women moving on from shelters. They collected 14 baskets that first year. The program has rapidly grown to include ten chapters, mostly in southern Ontario but also in Thunder Bay and Penticton, B.C., and now involves about 3,500 volunteers. Each chapter collects the hampers at a central point, often a church hall or sponsoring business, on a specific day in November.

DURHAM: The Durham Region dining experience got a little more intriguing this month when Durham College officially opened the doors to Bistro ’67, a full-service, green-certified teaching and learning restaurant located at its new Centre for Food (CFF). Offering dishes prepared and served by students in its culinary and hospitality programs, featuring produce and delicious flavours from the region, Bistro ’67 offers a unique ‘field to fork’ culinary environment to diners. This includes seating up to 70 guests and the opportunity to choose from a variety of seasonal dishes designed to satisfy any palate such as delicious soups and salads, intriguing sandwiches and entrees and decadent desserts. In addition to featuring the latest in culinary technology, the restaurant also offers a boardroom (available for public rental) surrounded by glass walls overlooking the kitchen and a living lab with exposure to all restaurantrelated jobs. The restaurant’s name is a tribute to the year that Durham College opened – 1967 – and reflects its rich history while providing a fresh, modern perspective. The name was chosen followa new life. Many baskets are given out around Christmas, but some shelters hold on to a few to be able to give their clients a gift year-round. Sadly, the need is far greater than the baskets that are delivered. There are other shelters waiting to join the program too. This year the collection day is November 23, and the drop-off location for the local chapter is

ing a month-long contest in June that asked college staff and students and members of the community to submit their top suggestions. The CFF is designed to accommodate approximately 900 additional students studying in a variety of programs including Culinary Skills, Culinary Management, Cook – Apprenticeship, Hospitality Management – Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism, Hospitality Skills, Event Management, Special Events Planning and Golf Facility Operations Management. This incredible new learning centre also features state-of-the-art labs including a food and beverage pairing lab and hotel living lab, classrooms and meeting spaces, a retail store that will feature products produced by students including fresh-baked items, meals-togo, preserved foods and ready-to-cook meals and a lecture theatre. To celebrate the restaurant’s official opening, all guests who visit during the month of October will have the opportunity to enter a draw for a chance to win dinner for four.
