UXBRIDGE: Durham police are continuing with their hunt for the killer of 26-year-old Uxbridge resident Richard Morrison, who was found dead in his Galloway Cres. home early Friday morning.

According to police, Mr. Morrison’s body was discov-ered by another resident of the Galloway Cres. home at approximately 6:30 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 28 with what police are describing as “obvious signs of trauma.”

Police were present at the home through the weekend before police tape surrounding the residence was re-moved in the early afternoon on Monday, March 3.

Police remain tight-lipped about the incident, al-though they are hopeful to be able to release more infor-mation in the coming days.

“There have been no updates on the case since Sat-urday (March 1). We are waiting for updates from the investigative team before bringing them to the public,” Sgt. Bill Calder told The Standard.

After the crime scene on Galloway Cres. was cleared on Monday, police and forensic invesigators moved across Uxbridge to the corner of Marion Dr. and Bell St., where a home was cordoned off by a yellow crime scene bar-rier. Two cruisers remained at the residence in the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 4, although police have not confirmed whether this scene is connected to the slaying on Galloway Cres.

“At this point I can’t comment on that,” said Sgt. Calder.Durham Police have maintained throughout their

investigation that there is no immediate danger to residents in the vicinity of Galloway Cres., or the two schools in the area, St. Joseph and Quaker Village PS.

The death of Mr. Morrison is Durham’s second homi-cide of 2014, after 22-year-old Shabir Niazi, was gunned down in a garage in Ajax on Feb. 19.

This is the first homicide investigated in Uxbridge since the body of 18-year-old Toronto resident Marga-rita Shumakova was discovered on an isolated stretch of Conc. 8 in July 2011 after last being seen in Toronto’s

Entertainment District on Canada Day of that year.Anyone who may have additional information about

Mr. Morrison’s murder is asked to please contact Det.Rob Moore at 905-579-1520, ext. 5326.

Durham Police are currently investigating the murder of 26-year-old Uxbridge resident Richard Mor-rison after he was found with what police are calling “obvious signs of trauma” in the early morning hours of Friday, Feb. 28. Police remained on the scene of the murder on Galloway Cres. in the Quaker Village neighbourhood through Monday, March 3.

SCUGOG: In a scene unlike anything that had occurred before, traffic was snarled in Port Perry on Thursday, Feb. 27 as a 32-car pile-up closed the cause-way for several hours.

Scugog’s Deputy Fire Chief Rob Gonnermann told The Standard that while collisions on the causeway are not unusual, the magnitude of Thurs-

day’s scene was something new to local fire crews.

“I haven’t seen anything quite that bad,” said Deputy Chief Gonnermann. “Basically, there were 42 vehicles on the causeway at the time, with 32 directly in-volved with the incident.”

Although no serious injuries were re-ported, some motorists were taken to hospital following the collision.

“We arrived on scene, and went

around performing first aid, with I be-lieve four people being taken to hospi-tal with various injuries,” Deputy Chief Gonnermann added.

Scugog Fire crews were on the scene from approximately 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. as they sifted through the damage. The causeway was eventually re-opened to traffic at around 4 p.m. after being closed from just east of Water St. to Island Rd. as crews carried out clean-up efforts.

The Scugog crash was just one of sev-eral multi-car pile-ups that occurred across the province on Thursday as high winds combined with a snow squall to create whiteout conditions, greatly reducing visibility on roadways across Ontario.

“This was a freak snow squall that came through and combined with strong winds from the north. I wouldn’t say it’s normal,” explained Deputy Chief Gonnermann.

Whiteout conditions lead to 32-car pile-up on causeway

UXBRIDGE: One of the men accused in the 2009 murder of Uxbridge native and Port Perry HS graduate Christopher Skinner was denied bail on Friday.

More than four years after Skinner’s death in 2009, Agustin Alexander Caru-so was arrested in November 2013 and charged with second-degree murder.

The 27-year-old Skinner was killed in a late-night altercation in Toronto’s en-tertainment district on Oct. 18, 2009.

It’s believed that he had been attempt-ing to hail a cab and may have acciden-tally touched a passing SUV, setting off the chain of events that would ultimate-ly lead to his untimely death.

Police allege that the four men who were in the SUV got out and knocked Skinner to the ground, punching and kicking him. Two women were also in the car at the time, but didn’t partici-pate in the beating.

Police say that following the beating, the men then got back into the car and the driver ran over Skinner, killing him.

Caruso, who was 19-years-old at the time, was allegedly the driver.

Three other men have also been charged in connection with the case. Ja-maal Phillips Bond, Nicholas Swaby and Anthony Samuel have all been charged with various offences, including assault causing bodily harm, obstruct police and conspiracy to commit indictable of-fence of aggravated assault.

‘Communal Dwelling’ by-law draws ireBENJAMIN PRIEBE The Standard

SCUGOG: Three local residents sat before coun-cil on Monday, March 3, to raise the latest grievance with proposed changes to Scugog Township’s new zoning by-law, regarding the definition of a communal dwelling - which they want stricken from the books.

Martha Casson, Vice Chair of the Scugog Seniors Advisory Committee and John Lucyk, owner of Lucyk Renovations Limited, argued to council that this new definition raises obsta-cles for seniors attempting to purchase and share an affordable home together and avoid moving into com-mercial retirement facilities. In an effort to gain clout, the group of concerned resi-dents sought representation by professional land-usage consultant Valerie Cranmer.

The issue stems from Scugog’s recently released new zoning by-laws, which drew ire when they sought to classify shared-ownership homes with more than six rooms, and with more than one bedroom connecting with an en suite bathroom, as a form of retirement home or rooming house. Scugog Township created this new classification, previously

unheard of in the township, in an effort to circumvent property tax scams, issues with fire code, and boarding houses being erected on its historical streets.

“The regulations regard-ing so-called communal housing are an attempt to control the relationship of people, with respect to joint ownership of a property,” said Ms. Cranmer. “The terminology is incorrect, the proper term for refer-ring to multiple ownership of a building is ‘tenants in common.’ The whole thing would be nearly impossible to enforce, without by-law officers performing head counts on occupants.”

The deputation group stated that many Scugog residences would be classi-fied as “illegal non-conform-ing dwellings” if they meet the criteria and are jointly-owned by a citizen and a spouse, relative, or friend.

The final major point of discussion between Scugog Township Councillors and the deputation dealt with the providing of services such as housekeeping, lawn care, and medical care. According to Ms. Cranmer, Director of Community Services Don Gordon stated that “when a home becomes a place where services are provided,

it becomes a different type of use, such as a small retire-ment facility,” at a Public Meeting in October 2013.

Ms. Cranmer quoted Mr. Gordon in her presenta-tion, and explained that as people age, they will require certain services until a time when they are forced to move into a commercial retirement facility.

“It would appear that, if I were to become incapaci-tated or were caring for a senior family member and require yard-work or medi-cal service, my joint-owner-ship dwelling would auto-matically become a com-mercial retirement facility.”

Council thanked the group for contributing their thoughts on this complex issue, and Mayor Chuck Mercier stated that “we should wait until all of the work is done, as there are many adjustments and con-cerns from many people. We need to discuss these crite-ria with the proponents and ensure that all of our bases are covered.”

Meetings have been set-up between Mr. Gordon and the proponents to come to a satisfactory solution. More information, including fire code regulations, is expected to be brought to the March 17 council meeting.

until Spring! However, the saying “The first day of Spring doth not a Spring day make” will undoubt-edly be sadly true this year.

Remember that we “spring forward” this Sun-day, March 9. We hope that the extra sunlight will raise spirits and bring better health to all those suffering the many illness-es afflicting friends and neighbours. The list never seems to get any shorter!

Our prayers and best wished go to young Eric Swan as he undergoes surgery this week. The word on Margaret Hack-ner is that she will have to live with her large cast for another eight weeks so her hospital stay does not seem to be shortening. Vis-its would be appreciated I am sure. Heather and Jon DeSouza are proud par-ents of a sec-ond daughter, a new grandchild for Bruce and Elaine Brandon.

Congratulations to

Norma Scott as she has two new great-grandchil-dren, courtesy of son Ian and wife of Barrie. Her grandson Scott Sopel is also doing the fam-ily proud as he made the Dean’s list at university and will soon be embark-ing on an eight-month co-op apprenticeship.

Congratulations to Jim and Nancy Wolf who cel-ebrated and anniversary last week!

Scott Central should be congratulated for their programmes for the children. Dawson Ball is among those students who took part in the African Drumming in response to Black History Month. Hopefully all the partici-pants enjoy it as much as he seems to. The school is also engaging in a “Cash For Cartridges” fundrais-ing programme. Old cell phones with batteries and chargers, laptops and most empty ink cartridges can be taken to the school

during regular hours. The school will receive reim-bursement for these recy-clable items and the funds raises will be used to pur-chase new technology for the school.

“First Tapping” at the Ashton-Asling sugar bush Saturday was an interest-ing event. There was too much snow in the bush but, two trees were tapped close to the sugar shack. No sap yet unfortunately- we look forward to that day! Making up the three points of a triangle on the 7th Conc. of Scugog are these two farms along with the Wilson farm. All three are fourth generation farms raising the fifth.

Saturday afternoon we said good bye to Earl Wil-son, a lifelong friend and neighbour. Earl’s wife Marie, nee Simpson has ties to the Risebrough/Feasby family.

March 9 is the first Sun-day of Lent. Please join with us.

To the Editor:

Are you familiar with this non- ex-istent standard in Ontario in the area Long Term care homes. The lack of standards someday in the future may affect you. What is “Long Term care”? It could be known as “heavy care”, residents those requiring the greatest nursing and personal care, since 1993 have grown by 50%.The residents are not always seniors, they could be younger and experience some form of injury, mental illness or other chronic illness yet their care is same as an elder resident.

Just to give you a picture of what

is happening in some of these fa-cilities imagine this. There can be 2 caregivers for 36 residents, they have 15-18 minutes of time to wake up the resident, change their “brief” or “diaper”, dress and get the resident ready for their day. How long does it take you to get ready in the morn-ing? What happens if the resident soils their “brief” 1/2 hour later?

With the rising care needs, the Ontario Government will not re-establish a minimum staffing reg-ulation for residents, which was repealed in 1995 by the then Mike Harris Conservatives. Unifor has almost 24,000 members working in

Long Term Care in Ontario. Mem-bers in this area are providing care for twice as many residents as a de-cade ago. Work related injuries are a real concern in this field.

What can be done to help? Im-mediately re-instate, enforce and fund a minimum care standard for nursing and personal and because of higher needs. Make the rate 4.0 hours per resident per day. The fa-cilities would need to be inspected and held accountable. Our govern-ment needs to live up to their cam-paign promises of a “revolution in long term care” from 2003. The over a billion dollars spent cancel-

ling two gas plants certainly would have went along way to provide that care standard.

You can contact The Canadian Health Coalition by emailing [email protected] for more information. Please contact Deb Matthews our Ontario Minister of Health and Long Term Care [email protected]. Your voice is im-portant and does matter. Remem-ber your “8 hour” depends brief may be closer than you think. The time to act is “NOW”.

A recent deputation by a Machester resident, Mr. Laurent Coqu, to Scugog Township’s Council raised questions regarding the keeping of chickens and fowl within the boundaries of hamlets in the township.

Mr. Coqu explained that his neighbour, Tony D’Antimo, raises and keeps a group of chickens in his backyard - in close proximity to his property.

He has stated to Council several times that the smell of the ma-nure makes the simple act of enjoying his backyard next to impos-sible, and even attracts a veritable Noah’s Ark of critters and ver-min, whom Mr. Coqu says enjoy climbing within his walls.

Whether the problem is with unsavory smells, or with rats chewing holes in your electrical wires - you don’t mess with a man’s castle.

Mr. D’Antimo has responded by asking Scugog Council to amend their new and hotly-debated zoning by-law - to allow for the keep-ing of animals in backyard pens. After all, he says, he’s been keep-ing them for the past three years.

These feather-ruffled neighbours even disagree on the number of birds kept in the back yard, with Coqu deciding on ten and D’Antimo insisting four. Should it matter how many chickens are kept? One rogue Komodo Dragon is just as unpleasant as two.

While the months long debate has been raised to Council numerous times from both sides, one issue still remains for the citizens of Scugog.

Councillors and by-law officers have deemed the activity in Mr. D’Antimo’s backyard ‘prohibited’ while they review procedures - but have yet to take any affirming action. One would hope this fra-grant issue would garner a speedy response - or at least a donation of air freshener’s and mouse-traps to Mr. Coqu’s home.

Expedite the process - How long does this ‘fecal-matter’ need to pile up before the proverbial crap hits the fan?

Seeking higher standards of long-term careKeeping it clear

With the Academy Awards hitting the red carpet this past weekend and covering the pages of every entertain-ment section, it seems like an appropriate week to pull out the popcorn bag and have a chat about cinema. Maybe, if I’m lucky, there will be a butter-soaked kernel of wisdom rattling around in the bottom of that bag.

Disclaimer: aside from the next two paragraphs, this won’t be another rant about the Oscars.

From George Clooney to Matthew McConaughey acting as a Texan, this year’s Oscar winners seem to emulate Bill Murray. No, not by having the last twenty years of aging hit them like a truck, but with their method of choice being typecast character acting - where the character is ... themselves?

Can we really justify paying George Clooney to play ‘George Clooney In Space’ in Gravity? Rest assured, I’m still renting The Wolf of Wall Street as soon as I get the chance.

From celluloid to Imax 3D, movies have always been a journey into another time, place, or person’s shoes. Whether it’s The Three Stooges, Forrest Gump, or Avatar - cinema aims to make us laugh, cry, think, or make that ‘oooh’ noise so often heard at firework shows.

I believe that the most successful films, the Pulp Fictions and Shawshank Redemptions we talk about years later, share two things in common -

originality, and a relatable human.By human I of course mean real actors and not those

little dogs from the Air Bud series, but also something more relatable - a core epiphany or thought that makes you say “I’ve been there”.

As my Netflix list will show, I’ve always enjoyed a movie that tries something new. I can get over bad costumes (every Monty Python, ever) or audio that sounds like it was recorded through a drain-pipe - if only the director gets creative and breaks through the surface in an effort to show something more human.

For those of you who have seen Clerks., the filmed in black-and-white one with road-hockey on the roof, you’ll know what I mean.

Kevin Smith, director of Clerks. - who also appeared in the film as Silent Bob - shot the whole thing in the convenience store where he worked in real-life. Through vulgar jokes and banter about Death Star contractors and lasagna, Smith exposed his raw confusion with the life of a cigarette-slinging cashier who has bigger dreams - there’s that sought-after human element.

Sometimes though, movies don’t need to make us think all that hard. The reason that ‘directed by Michael Bay’ is a running joke in my household when something is overly-dramatized, is due to every one of the much too numerous robo-kung-fu flicks being made from a

recipe of equal parts explosion and laser-beams, with a dash of half-naked female lead.

While the rolling of Transformers’ end credits won’t leave you in an existential crisis like Requiem For A Dream did, it’s still an exciting ride. Action sci-fi flicks are more likely to break the box-office and rake in cash, but will probably end up like Leonardo Di Caprio when it comes to awards.

If there’s one thing that Scorceses and Tarantinos can teach us in the real world, it’s that being true to yourself and to your audience is always worth more than a cheap CGI show - even if it takes people a few years to ‘get it.’

From Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates to Gandalf’s tricky wisdom in Lord of the Rings, movies usually try to accomplish the goal of teaching us an all-important lesson, which usually stems directly from the director or actor’s life.

So whether it’s ‘Do or do not, there is no try,’ or ‘All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine’ - next time you watch, keep an eye out for that kernel of truth, and remember that life doesn’t have a rewind but-ton - unless your name happens to be Adam Sandler.

Popcorn kernels of truth

Durham MPP John O’Toole announces plans to retire

@darrylknight

Up All KnightDARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

Shoot First, Ask Later


NORTH DURHAM: After serving as MPP of Durham Rid-ing since 1995, John O’Toole will not be seeking re-election as the veteran MPP announced on Friday, Feb. 28, that he plans to retire from office prior the next provincial election.

Mr. O’Toole made the an-nouncement that he will not be seeking re-election for the seat he has held for the past 19 years at a provincial Progressive Conser-vative breakfast in Bowmanville on Friday morning, although he remains committed to continu-ing to serve Durham residents until the next election.

“I plan to remain in office until the next provincial elec-tion, which could come as ear-ly as May or June of this year, but, will most likely will be in March of 2015,” Mr. O’Toole told The Standard.

Over the course of his career representing Durham residents at Queen’s Park, Mr. O’Toole said some of the highlights of his tenure in office are the roles he played in opening the Univer-sity of Ontario Institute of Tech-nology (UOIT), development of the Durham Regional Cancer Centre and environmental ini-tiatives, including adopting legislation to protect the Oak Ridges Moraine.

Mr. O’Toole also noted he was proud to work alongside the various Mayors and Councillors throughout his time in office.

“No one does everything, and I was very happy to work with the area’s Mayors and Council-lors as well as having the trust of my constituents and being able to serve them fairly and justly over almost 20 years,” said Mr. O’Toole.

As he approaches retirement,

Mr. O’Toole is excited to be able to spend more time with his 10 grandchildren, and plans to travel, and visit with his daugh-ters living overseas alongside his wife Peggy, who is currently a School Board Trustee and will also not be seeking re-election in this fall’s municipal election.

“I’ve given lots of consideration of how to keep busy. I have lots of options, and want to keep all op-tions open,” Mr. O’Toole said.

During his term in office, Mr.

O’Toole was a part of history when his son Erin was elected as MP for Durham, making them the first father-son duo to serve in the federal and provincial leg-islature at the same time.

“It has truly been an honour to serve at the same time as my son Erin,” commented Mr. O’Toole.

It was Mr. O’Toole that gave Uxbridge’s Ward 4 Council-lor Jacob Mantle his first job in politics after graduating from Queen’s University, and the

councillor was surprised by the announcement of Mr. O’Toole’s impending retirement, and thanked him for his years of ser-vice in the community.

“John has been a stalwart in the community for many years,” Councillor Mantle told The Standard. “I phoned him recent-ly, and thanked him for his work in the community. He’s earned a reputation over the years as a strong advocate for our commu-nities and it’s not a reputation

you can buy and it only comes through hard work and being available to residents. I’m sad to see him go, and wish him all of the best in the future, and will always be grateful for the oppor-tunities he’s given me.”

Going forward, Mr. O’Toole sees plenty of opportunities on the horizon for Durham, and is hopeful that the provincial gov-ernment will make investments in Durham’s continued growth.

“It’s about time Durham got its fair shake, be it the 407, ex-pansion of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and refurbishment at the nuclear plant,” added Mr. O’Toole. “Dur-ham is a growing community and needs more respect in deci-sions made at Queen’s Park.”

As well, Mr. O’Toole is hope-ful for more investment in job creation, both in Durham and Ontario as a whole in order to provide quality jobs to young people in the province.

“Ontario is not what it was 10 or 20 years ago,” commented Mr. O’Toole. “What are the op-portunities for young people? Where are the jobs? We encour-age our young people to head off to college and university, but where are the quality jobs once they finish school?”

Mr. O’Toole added that walking away from public service will not be easy, and he is grateful to the residents of Durham for enabling him to serve as MPP since 1995.

“It has been a privilege and an honour for me to be able to serve the residents of Durham and I’ll never forget that. It’s going to be hard to step aside and I’ll miss be-ing a part of day-to-day business and working with Mayors and Councillors, and the community as a whole.”

The elder O’Toole recently an-nounced that he will not be seeking re-election to the seat he has held since 1995 when On-tario holds its next provincial election. STANDARD FILE PHOTO

Stay Safe & Have A GreatMARCH BREAK!




Attention Lords and Ladies, The Scugog Shores Heritage Centre and Archives, located upstairs in the Scugog Arena at 1655 Reach St., will be going medieval this month with the opening of a new medieval-themed exhibit on Monday, March 10 at 11 a.m.

Titled ‘Once Upon A Time…’ this exciting and authentic exhibit aims to teach the finer points of life in the Middle Ages. Curator Shannon Kelly is especially excited to see children learn with their own hands, in an

inviting and stimulating atmosphere.

Once Upon a Time will shocase European life dur-ing the years 1000 to 1500 AD. Thirty storyboards feature all aspects of medi-eval life, from monks and monasteries to the feu-dal system, architecture, games and pastimes and the crusades. Special focus has been placed on two of the enduring symbols of the age: the Cathedral and the Armoured Knight.

“This new exhibit is very hands-on, and fea-tures fun activities and crafts for people of all ages during March Break,”

said Ms. Kelly. “Come and see our full-size armored knight and stockade, or participate in the brass rubbing workshops – held by costumed instructors at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., between March 10 and 14.”

The special brass rub-bing workshop will allow children to create their own medieval artwork, and learn about the age-old process of making relief images.

Join the Scugog Shores staff for their grand opening celebration on Saturday, March 22, from 11 am. to 4 p.m. All royal-ty and peasants will enjoy

free admission for this one day only.

Regular hours of operation are Tuesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Regular admission is $4 for adults, $3 for students/seniors, $2 for children 5-12 and free for children four and under. Please contact Ms. Kelly for pre-registration, rates for school programs and group tours by calling 905-985-8698 ext. 103, or by e-mailing [email protected]. Once Upon A Time, on loan from the Bruce County Museum, will be showing until May 23, so see it while you can.

WHEN WINTER COMESby J. Plenderleith

In her coming of age novel, When Winter Comes, au-thor Jeannie Plenderleith brings many facets to light. What becomes apparent to readers is that our youth of today face many new difficult challenges and pressures due to shifts in society and developments of technolo-gies. Today’s world offers little or no privacy, and many of us may be going too fast to notice our children who are indeed paying a price. Although they have more material possessions, access to resources and education than previous generations the peer pressure and social media can be at times unforgiving and detrimental during personal crisis. In her touching story Plenderleith reminds us that our youth are simply young people do-ing their best to succeed at making it through the transition from child to adult. Like all of us they learn that decisions come with consequences, and that in some cases these have to answered for - for the rest of our lives. Social expectations, dif-ficulties, hardships, and pecking orders are clearly identified and exposed by the main character, Sara. She is a relatively new kid in town attempting to hide her fears and pain behind her camera, but is in actuality the main focus.

TALK TURKEY WITH URQEYBy Rod Urquhart

As the editor of the agricultural newspaper, Voice of the Farmer, for over 18 years, Rod Urquhart learned to “Talk Turkey.” His monthly columns generally addressed an array of political concerns, current af-fairs, or issues and challenges that Canadian Farmers in Southern and Eastern Ontario were faced with. Urquhart consistently exercised his journalistic freedom of speech; at times this got him in trouble, other times it won him awards. His columns generally reflected his moods: if he was riled he ranted, if he was sad he’d touch your heart, other times hilarious. Currently he is semi-retired after a 40-year career, but Urquhart remains as editor of Horse Talk, an equestrian magazine published out of Port Perry.

Talk Turkey with Urqey is a collection of his short, short stories. At times subject matter is serious; but for the most part it is comic antidotes of his life and adventures with his wife of 26 years, and their beloved pets and companions. Chapter 1 titled, Why Bald Men Have More Fun, sets the pace for this light read intended to brighten or enlighten anyone’s day.

Talk Turkey with Urqey by Rod Urquhart is 94 pages, 6 x 9 inch paperback, costing $14.95

BROKEN DREAMS & SECOND CHANCES

by Kat MacWhat began as a creative outlet during a difficult time has been

exceptionally well received by fans of this new author. If you en-joy the works of either Catherine Cookson or Maeve Binchy, then you may wish to consider reading Broken Dreams and Second Chances. Although this fictional book is loosely based on personal experiences it is a story many of us can identify with. The main character, Kate Martin, is a young moth-er who slips into depression somewhere along the way. It isn’t because she doesn’t love or appreciate her family, and it isn’t because she isn’t exactly where she wants to be. Just somehow she gradually became what Oprah Winfrey coins, “A Shlump-adinka.” A woman who has become invisible, lost herself, given up; due to the strain and stress of being a caregiver to everyone else. Separate characters are introduced in their lively youths. Each shares coming of age experiences and scars which they carry forward into their forties. Then individual stories merge into one as characters come together on the island of Antiqua where hope and healing is experienced and lives are changed forever.

Broken Dreams & Second Chances by Kat Mac is 364 pages, 6 x 9 inch paperback, costing $20. E-version available

JESTERS INCOGNITOby Harrison Wheeler

Folklore describes jesters as entertainers of kings, queens, and the high court in Old English Times. These characters were be-lieved to be of sharp mind, possess cunning wit, and an ability to amuse with simple tricks. Some references indicate that it was they who ruled the nation from behind the king’s throne.

Jesters Incognito is an unusual journey of a modern day jester; and author, Harrison Wheeler exercises his vivid imagination in his mainstream novel set in a fictional world. Written for the young and adult fans of humour and sci-fi this story is set on the streets of Roxy City where a young mercenary king takes up the throne at MogulMedia. This media king decrees the Law of the Green Light, spill-ing blood on his entertainment empire, and obliterates creative freedom for all. He enshrouds his country in silence, instilling terror in anyone who dares break it. When the talented Vincent settles for a job driving taxi after having his ambitions squashed he suffers from a severe case of Doldrums. Vincent observes in misery a plugged-in, pre-programmed society come and go from behind the wheel of his cab. Desperate, he downloads an app one fateful night that plants a delightfully cunning idea in his brain: break the law, perform offline, become a jester, and overthrow the king.

Jesters Incognito by Harrison Wheeler is 447 pages, 6 x 9 inch paperback, costing $14.40. E-version is available

ENTER LAUGHING The Early Years

by Neil CroneKudos to Canadian actor and writer Neil Crone for his

award winning newspaper columns and most recently his book titled, Enter Laughing. Crone is both a gifted speaker and author that I had the absolute pleasure of hearing at a Writers Community of Durham Region breakfast meeting some years back. I have ever laughed so hard as tears streamed down my cheeks before or since. I remain inspired by this man who openly and honestly shares his real life experiences including those with cancer and chemo. There is absolutely nothing funny about this subject matter, but Crone holds his audience in awe while candidly discussing his experiences with comical interjections during his most difficult time.

This author has a way of pulling us in. Whether on stage or in his writing he makes us feel like we are part of his circle. When I read Crone I get that warm feel-ing I had while watching, Little House on the Prairie or The Walton’s back in the 70’s. He has the ability to capture those little segments and fragments of quality and compassion that make life’s journey both surreal and genuine.

MARCH 2009 The Scugog Standard ISSUE 1

By Blake WolfeThe Scugog Standard

At a time when North American car manufacturers and other industries are suffering and in need of multi-billion dollar government bailouts, agriculture is, at least on its face, generally unaffected by the current economic climate, according to one local farmer.

However, the industry still faces huge challenges from other sources.

Hubert Schilling, who farms vari-ous crops, eggs and chickens in Scu-gog and Oshawa, explained that for farmers in supply managed commodi-ties such as eggs and dairy, the econo-my is not having much of an impact.

However, farmers are not immune to challenges from other aspects.

According to the 2006 ‘Compare The Share’ study from the Centre For Rural Studies and Enrichment at St. Peter’s College in Saskatch-ewan, farmers’ fi nancial shares of their respective products have dropped, while retail prices con-tinue to increase.

According to Mr. Schilling, another sore spot is government regulations concerning farmers in multiple com-modities, such as himself.

“It depends how diversifi ed your farm is,” he said, adding that farm-ers were encouraged to diversify by

government in the fi rst place. “The more diversifi ed your operation is, the more you get screwed by the government.”

Farming in Durham also poses geo-graphical issues for farmers, such as obtaining building permits close to urban areas. Mr. Schilling, who owns farms in two municipalities, said that while the township has been very sup-portive of farmers, it has been a differ-ent situation south of the ridges.

“In Oshawa, it’s been a whole dif-ferent ball game,” he said. “They don’t know what to do with us.”

And farmers are having increasing

problems encouraging the continua-tion of their operations.

“How do I encourage a third generation to farm,” Mr. Schilling said, “if they will do better some-where else?

“When I see all this money handed to non-agriculture industries such as auto manufacturing, it’s a tough call,” said Mr. Schilling. “When we needed help, we didn’t get it. We’re used to it (economic problems) - non-agri-culture is not used to it. We have no problem feeding the world, but we do have a problem getting paid.”

“They don’t know what to do with us”

This March, the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) and the Ca-nadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) are encouraging producers to talk about farm safety as part of Canadian Agri-cultural Safety Week, which runs from March 9 to 15.

Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW) is an annual public education campaign focusing on the importance of safe agriculture. In 2014 the theme is ‘Let’s Talk About It!’ Organizers want to inspire farmers to engage in conversa-tions about safety through a combina-tion of farmer testimonials, producer re-

sources, and videos.“This year we are showcasing stories

of producers who have experienced in-juries or who have made innovations for safety on their farm, and we’re putting these stories to video as part of our Let’s Talk About It! Video Series to help get the word out in a new way,” says Marcel Hacault, Executive Director of CASA. “We’ve also developed resources for farm-ers that will help them conduct safety meetings and explore topics like talking to your kids around safety or overcom-ing language and cultural barriers with migrant workers,” he adds. “The idea is

to get people talking about farm safety as a first step towards a safer, more suc-cessful farm.”

“It’s human nature to think ‘it won’t happen to me,’ but unfortunately it can, especially if we continue on with this ap-proach. Taking preventative, proactive measures is one of the best things we can do for our farm and workers. We hope that through safety week and through hearing from other farmers about their experiences, we shed some light on the necessity of farm safety and practical ways to make it happen on the farm,” says CFA President Ron Bonnett.

Farm Credit Canada is a long-time and ongoing sponsor of CASW. “In our fast-paced industry, it’s important to take the time to think about the safety and well-being of the people who grow our food,” says Remi Lemoine, Vice President and Chief Operating Offi-cer at FCC. “We’re committed to help-ing Canadian producers stay safe at work, and encourage thoughtful plan-ning through written health and safety plans.”

Tips for farmers during Agricultural Safety Week

CABEF educates young farmers in agri-businessCanadian agriculture is multi-billion dollar industry

with undeniable global impact. Canada’s prominence in global agriculture has provided career opportunities for a highly skilled and specialized segment of the workforce. And those opportunities continue to grow, requiring am-bitious, educated people to keep Canada at the forefront.

Recruiting new talent, such as Canadian youth, is essential to the continued success of the industry. Pursuing an education in agriculture can provide them with the skills necessary to advance in the in-dustry, but youth must first be aware of the diverse career opportunities available through agriculture.

The founders of the recently created Canadian Agri-Business Education Foundation (CABEF) rec-ognize the need to raise the profile of agriculture among Canadian youth. CABEF’s aim is to find the brightest and best high school students interested in agriculture and make it easier for them to pursue the education they need to be successful in agri-business

today. By offering scholarships to grade 12 students entering agriculture programs, CABEF hopes to raise student awareness of agricultural opportunities.

CABEF assesses scholarship applicants on a com-bination of academic standing, leadership qualities, and interest in agriculture. Through these criteria, CABEF and its supporters ensure that enthusiastic, inventive people have the means to pursue their pas-sion for agriculture, and make a difference for the fu-ture of agri-business in Canada.

For more information about CABEF and the role of youth in Canadian agriculture, contact Larry Hertz at [email protected] or visit www.cabef.org.

(Above) Port Perry’s Kathy Dudley was one of several North Durham residents awarded with Diamond Jubilee Medals in 2013, in recognition for her work on the Your Super Pet Calendar. (Below, from left) Kathy joined Uxbridge-Scugog Animal Shelter employees Emily Gerber, Kathy Emmo-rey and Vicki McWhirter, presenting a cheque for $8,500 from this year’s edition of the calendar. Over the past 10 years, the calendar has raised $85,000 for the shelter. DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard


When Port Perry’s Kathy Dudley set out to aid the Uxbridge-Scugog Animal Shelter through the sales of the ‘Your Super Pet Calendar,’ she never imagined that it would still be going strong 10 years later, let alone raise $85,000 for the local animal shelter.

“I never thought that almost 10 years later I’d still be going,” Kathy told The Standard. “(Animal Shelter Manager) Vicki (McWhirter) kept saying there’s too many zeroes when I would come in with the pro-ceeds. It’s grown beyond anything I originally envi-sioned and it’s been mailed all over the world, from California to England.”

Kathy’s inspiration for the calendar, which draws upon submitted photos from proud pet owners came from a similar calendar produced in Guelph.

“I’ve always been trying to fundraise for the shelter. And one day, I saw a calendar from Guelph that’s similar to what I’ve been producing here for the past 10 years, and I contacted the lady that put it together and learned everything that went into it, and haven’t looked back,” said Kathy.

The entry period for pet owners to submit photos for the calendar typically runs from May through August, and reaches a fever pitch as summer turns to fall.

“Through August and September, I basically have no life,” Kathy explained. “Unfortunately, we’re all procrastinators so there is typically a big flood of entries towards the end.”

Although the calendar takes up a lot of her time, as Kathy explains, it’s all worth it when she is able to see the fruits of her labour first-hand at the local animal shelter.

“I’m ripping my hair out some days, but it’s very rewarding when it’s all done and put together. People really get behind it and support it, which has been great over the past 10 years.”

As Ms. McWhirter explained, proceeds from the calendar help to improve the quality of life for all of the animals at the shelter.

“All of our animals are neutered, spayed and vac-cinated and the calendar pays for that,” said Ms. McWhirter. “As well, it costs those who wish to adopt an animal from the shelter $50 for a cat, and $75 for a dog, and the calendar helps to absorb some of those costs so we can keep the adoption fees down, and hopefully provide a home for more animals. And, if that’s not enough, the proceeds from the calendar pay for any vet bills in case of an emergency. The cal-endar really helps us to be able to do a lot more for the animals here at the shelter, and we are so grateful for everything Kathy has done to help support us over the years.”

Kathy adds that she intends to continue her efforts with the ‘Your Super Pet Calendar’ as long as it con-tinues to gather support both in and outside the community.

“It’s really grown over the years. For the most part, a lot of the pictures people send in are from Port Perry or Uxbridge, but every year we seem to get more and more from Toronto and areas outside of where I’d typically think they’d come from. In fact, the win-ning photo on this year’s cover came from a family that lives in Bracebridge.”

Those wishing to be a part of next year’s Your Super Pet calendar can start by visiting www.yoursuperpet-calendar.ca. As well, The Standard has been a proud supporter of the calendar since its inception, and is pleased to accept submissions for upcoming editions of the calendar at 94A Water St. in Port Perry.

In early 2011, we started the process of fundraising for the new shelter, and currently we have raised more than $200,000 through out fundraising efforts. We hope to put shovels in the ground in 2016.”A devoted Nana to her seven grandchildren, with an eighth due in May, Ginger is content to stay work-ing for many years to come.“I just turned 65, and I have no plans to retire anytime soon, I have to keep busy.”As a female entrepreneur, Ginger encourages other women to follow their passions for business.“Women are equal to men, and if you want to be an entrepreneur, you should strive for what you want in life.

Melissa Kettlela

Melissa Kettela is the operating owner of the Pita Pit in Port Perry, and strives to provide her customers and employees with the same motherly concern she extends to her own two-year-old daughter, Maddisen. Located downtown at 1874 Scugog St., the Pita Pit offers a variety of tasty choices. “It’s important for me to promote healthy eating and an active lifestyle to the youth of Port Perry,” said Ms. Kettela. “Since many of my customers are in elementary school or high school, I encourage them to make healthy choices when they eat, the same as I would for my daughter.” Ms. Kettela believes that her warmth and loyalty to her customers and six young employees stems from the fact that as a woman and a mother, she understands that people need a fresh and customized meal made with care, or days off of work to prepare for exams. “While sometimes it can be challenging to juggle motherhood and my career,” said Ms. Kettela. “I always find a way to work it out, my daughter has her own little broom in the back and loves to hang out with her mommy at work and help out – it’s adorable.” Ms. Kettela got her start in business while working at Pita Pit in Bowmanville. Her friend and co-worker, Rich, wanted to open up a Pita Pit in Sudbury but couldn’t spend enough time at the Port Perry location, so Ms. Kettela part-nered with him and in November of 2012 became the owner and operator.

When they received word that the ownership of Canadian Tire Port Perry was available, they were so excited that within twelve hours they decided to move and take the store. “I have done very well for myself, but it’s because of my community and family,” said Terry. She believes that women in business bring something different to the table, a sense of compassion and a more human perspective. “To me, employees and customers aren’t numbers and dollars,” said Terry. “Maybe it’s because I’m a mother, but I try to personally help and support everyone I can. If you want to set-up a fundraiser or a donation – you come to Canadian Tire, because it’s part of the community that my family and I live and grow in.”

Leanne Stamper

Leanne Stamper’s desire to stay at home with her two young children prompted Greenbank’s Leanne Stamper to launch S.O.U.L. Jewellery three years ago.

“I didn’t want to leave home, and wanted to be there for my two little boys, but I wasn’t sure what I was going to do at first. But, I have been making jewellery since I was a little girl, so it was a natural fit. I love being able to work at home while bring the Mom my boys need in every capacity”

From her studio at her Greenbank home, Leanne creates a wide range of jewellery, including everything from everyday pieces to more elegant creations, which she says gives a lot of variety to her work.

“Everything is hand-made and pretty much all of it is on-of-a-kind and I really enjoy doing custom work. I love creating pieces from people’s thoughts and ideas.”

Her experience with owning her own business has led Leanne to offer advice to other women looking to branch out with their own businesses.

“Follow your heart is the best advice I can give. Follow your soul, and find something that you love and all of the pieces will fall into place.”

Leanne has recently set up an Etsy store to broaden the scope of her home-based business. S.O.U.L. Jewellery can be contacted on-line at www.souljewellery.ca or

Thrilling comeback puts Bruins in COJHL FinalsDARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

For the fifth time in the past six seasons, the Uxbridge Bruins have advanced to the COJHL Finals, after complet-ing a thrilling comeback in their semi-final series against the Clarington Eagles with the team rallying from a three-games-to-one deficit to score a 6-5 win in Game 7 on Sun-day, March 2.

After dropping Game 4 by a score of 5-4 in Uxbridge on Tuesday, Feb. 25, the Bruins were in tough to come back as the teams hit the ice in Bowmanville for Game 5, on Wednesday, Feb. 26.

Prior to Game 5, the Bruins made a switch in goal with Max Tjin taking over for Cody Northover between the pipes for Uxbridge.

After strong back-and-forth play through two periods of play, Matt Allen gave the Bruins the lead when, after a strong penalty killing effort, he picked up a loose puck near centre ice and waltzed between two Clarington defenders to beat Eagles goalie CJ Sharp low with a wrist shot.

With just over two minutes to play in regulation, Clar-ington finally slipped a puck past Tjin to send the game to overtime.

Near the halfway mark of the extra frame, Tim ‘Honey Badger’ Bierema pounded a loose puck off the post and into the net to give the Bruins a thrilling 2-1 victory, with assists credited to Korey Brand and Marco Mastrangelo.

Following the game, Bruins Head Coach Geoff Hodg-kinson noted that the team paid extra attention to defen-sive zone coverage, leading to the win.

“I thought we did a good job keeping Clarington on the outside,” Hodgkinson told The Standard. “You have to find a way to get in shooting lanes, and play the body. Clarington is a talented bunch, and to win you have to keep up the intensity and the physicality.”

The Bruins needed to keep the intensity high as the se-ries shifted back to Uxbridge for Game 6, on Friday, Feb. 28, and delivered, with a resounding 5-2 victory to force a pivotal Game 7.

Excellent puck movement on the powerplay led to Allen chipping the puck past Clarington goalie Connor Visca to open the scoring just over seven minutes into the action. Less than three minutes later, Jarett Smith unleashed an unstoppable shot to net another powerplay goal for the Bruins, and extend Uxbridge’s lead to 2-0.

Just over four minutes later, Carter Vahey’s shot from the point squeaked through Visca to give the Bruins a 3-0 lead.

Uxbridge’s special teams continued to roll in the sec-ond period, as almost nine minutes into the middle stan-za, Dylan Locke beat Visca on a breakaway after picking up a great stretch pass from Vahey to notch a shorthand-ed goal. A Clarington goal late in the second would spoil Tjin’s bid for a shutout, but the Bruins emerged for the third period with renewed energy.

Just 44 seconds into the third period, Vahey converted a great cross-ice pass from Conner Beck, netting a power-ful one-timer to boost Uxbridge’s lead to 5-1.

A late Clarington goal would round out the scoring, as the stage was set for a Game 7 showdown between the clubs.

Following the game, Hodgkinson credited Allen and

Jarett Smith with leading the Bruins’ charge to victory. “They have been the guys, along with Connor Miller

that have really been hopping as the series has gone on, and it’s translated into wins.”

As well, Hodgkinson noted the Bruins’ improved ef-forts on face-offs as a key to the team’s success in forcing a seventh game in the series.

“Through the first four games, face-offs and puck pos-session were in Clarington’s favour, and it’s flip flopped these past two games and led to some great scoring chances that we’ve been able to capitalize on.”

On Sunday, March 2, the Bruins made one last trek to Bowmanville for Game 7, and came out flying with a fero-cious forecheck that kept the Eagles back on their heels for the early portion of the game.

Just over three minutes into the action, Mastrangelo netted his first goal of the playoffs when he slammed in a loose puck, assisted by Bierema and Brand.

Clarington would respond with a goal late in the first to tie the game, but the Bruins were buoyed by a strong effort in the second to open up a 5-1 lead heading into

the third period.Allen had a pair of goals in the second, with Beck and

Miller chipping in with singles. Miller’s powerplay goal with just over five minutes to play in the second chased CJ Sharp from the game and led Visca to rise from the bench and take his place between the pipes for the Eagles.

The goalie switch appeared to pay immediate dividends for the Eagles as they fired three pucks past Tjin, cutting Uxbridge’s lead to a single goal with just under five min-utes left to play.

With just over two minutes to play, Allen gave the Bru-ins some breathing room as he won a battle for a loose puck along the boards and chipped the puck to a charg-ing Jarett Smith in the slot, and he pounded the puck past Visca to give Uxbridge a 6-4 lead.

The Eagles refused to go quietly, and with just 39 seconds left in regulation, netted a powerplay goal to cut the Bruins’ lead to 6-5. However, the Bruins weathered a frantic finish to the game, with Tjin making several sensational saves to seal the series win for the Bruins in dramatic fashion.

Uxbridge Bruins forward Dylan Locke nets a shorthanded goal against Clarington Eagles goalie Con-nor Visca during the Bruins 5-2 win in Game 6 of the COJHL semi-final series in Uxbridge on Friday, Feb. 28. On Sunday, March 2, the Bruins would prevail 6-5 in Bowmanville to take the series four-games-to-three, completing a thrilling comeback after trailing three-games-to-one to the Eagles. The Bruins will host the Lakefield Chiefs in Game 2 of the COJHL’s Cougar Cup Finals on Friday, March 7, at 7:45 p.m. The action returns to Uxbridge Arena on Monday, March 10 for Game 4 of the best-of-seven series at 7:45 p.m.

Goals galore in Blackstock Minor Hockey action

STARS SQUISH THE FISH: Joshua Foote battles for a loose puck with a Lindsay Jr. Muskie during the Uxbridge Novice Stars’ 6-1 victory at Uxbridge Arena on Thursday, Feb. 27. The Stars would win 4-1 in Lindsay on Saturday to win the OMHA semi-final series three-games-to one to advance to the OMHA Championships against Napanee. DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

“I have to say, the team really came together over the past four games,” an elated Hodgkinson told The Standard following Game 7. “It would’ve been easy to fold up, but the boys really stuck together. Max told me he’d win three games for us, and he really came through for us.”

Going forward, Hodg-kinson knows that the Bruins will be in tough to beat the Lakefield Chiefs, who rolled through the COJHL regular season, finishing 24 points ahead of the Bruins in the stand-ings. However, Uxbridge did hand the Chiefs a pair of losses at Uxrena over the course of the regular season, including a 4-3 win on Jan. 17 that snapped a 20-game winning streak for the Chiefs.

“My biggest concern heading into the series is their offensive ability, and you have to respect that,” added Hodgkin-son. “We’ll have to stay disciplined, and if we can stay out of the pen-alty box we’ve a chance against anyone.”

ROB STEELE Special to The Standard

This past weekend, the Port Perry Curling Club played host to sixteen teams at their sixth annual, Tim Hortons Bantam Bonspiel. This is a very popular event for those curl-ers aged sixteen and under, with many teams travelling great distances to participate in the event. Each team played two, eight end games and were treated to a healthy lunch and off-ice activities between their games.

Port Carling’s Emma Clendenan made her drive worth-while as she skipped her competitive mixed team of Con-nor Fudge, Grace Lloyd, and Tyler Marshall to the overall championship with a total of 39 points. Clendenan domi-nated the field, scoring points in thirteen of her sixteen ends played. The team is now off to Bantam mixed regionals this weekend and looking for a return trip to Provincials.

The top team on the early draw was Gravenhurst’s Ryan Godfrey with Jenn Godfrey, Alex Mitchell, and Bryce Ratc-liff who scored 36-3/4 points and finished second overall. Justin Chung’s team from Unionville won both his games on the early draw and finished next with 35-1/2 points. An-nandale’s Erin White’s team, with Port Perry’s Rachel Steele

at lead, won both their games on the late draw and finished next with 34 points.

There were two Port Perry teams participating in the event. Elliott Giles-Duhamel skipped a team Ashley Basque, Jared Bertrim, and Emma Fletcher while Daniel Kiss skipped Alex Duff, Seth Brownrigg, and brother Thomas Kiss.

Bantam League representative Gord Humphrey coordi-nated the event but wanted to thank all the many sponsors and club volunteers that helped make this event such a suc-cess. Special thanks to draw master Paul Coveart, ice maker Mike Parliament, and Bruce and Diana Rogers.

McKnight Off to ProvincialsUxbridge’s Sue McKnight skipped her team of Jennifer

McKnight, Karen Rowsell, and Cindy McKnight to three vic-tories and the A-Side Regional winner at the Tim Hortons OCA Trophy competition. With the win, the team now has plans for March break as they’re off to the Provincial finals which will be hosted by the Chatham Curling Club, March 12 to 15.

In their first game against Christina Cadorin from Thorn-hill, the team was down three in the tenth end and stole four points for a surprising victory. After that, the team breezed through the field, first beating Sheri Greenman from Union-ville 8-1 after seven ends and then in the A-final on Sunday morning, McKnight only needed four ends to beat Alison Goring. Team McKnight want to thank Brown & Brethour Insurance Brokers in Sunderland and Nirium consultant Marg McKnight for their support.

Playoffs Set For Super LeagueWith the Deloitte Super League regular season now com-

plete, two play-in games were needed to determine the final two spots in the eight team playoff.

In the first match, Mark St.John skipped his Allen’s Sid-

ing team against Ralph Fairman’s Pineridge Impress. Allen’s jumped out to the early 4-0 lead but Pineridge clawed their way back to trail 6-5 and then stole a point in the final end to tie the score and force one more end of play. In the extra end, with his last rock, St. John outdrew a Pineridge counter touching the button for the win. Allen’s will now face top seed Don Beaton’s Gus Brown in their first round match-up.

In the other game, Glenn Evans brought his Port Perry Sign Shop team into battle against team Kennedy Renova-tions, skipped by Bill Kennedy. Things looked didn’t look good early for Kennedy as Port Perry Sign Shop jumped out to the early 5-1 lead, however, they ended up pulling it to-gether and scored multiple points late in the game to make it close, but came up short losing 8-7. Port Perry Sign Shop will now face second seed HUB International, skipped by Rob Larmer.

The other match-ups have third seed Lake Scugog Lum-ber (Carol Jackson) against the sixth seeded Linday KIA (Sue McKnight) while my fourth seeded Scugog Pest Control team will take on Jude’s Sports Bar & Grill (Willie Beaton).

Local Curlers at Senior ProvincialsAt the Senior Provincials two weeks ago at the Ennismore

Curling Club, Port Perry’s Carol Jackson who throws vice stones for Suzanne Frick’s Guelph squad, had a solid week and finished with a 5-2 record and in second place heading into playoffs. However, in their semi-final game against St. Catharines’ Marilyn Bodogh, Frick fell behind early and ended up losing 8-4. Bodogh would go on to upset top-seed Dianne Wylie from Cataraqui in the final.

On the Men’s side, Uxbridge’s Gary Grant skipped his team with brother Randy at lead to a 4-3 record, for fourth place overall, only one win short of the playoffs. A solid week for the team which was won by KW Granite’s Peter Mellor.

Gravity rakes in the awards for out-of-this-world technical productionGRAVITY (2013)Directed by Alfonso Cuaronon Blu Ray/ DVD(*****)

An awe inspiring adven-ture in space grounded in reality, with a superb San-dra Bullock performance, Gravity was nominated for a whopping ten Academy Awards. Brilliantly directed by Alfonso Cuaron, the fi lm is astounding to look at, as the visual effects wizards have outdone themselves with the beautiful vistas of space, high above earth, seen as a beautiful blue ball, so close it seems, yet so very far away to the astronaut in peril.

The director made a bold move in making sure there is no sound in space, as there is not, so many of the scenes are powerful in their imagery, and though we see a great deal on in the fi lm, we often do not hear it. This works especially well during the scenes of mayhem and destruction that are a driving part of the narrative.

Dr. Stone (Bullock) is on her fi rst mission in space, trying to keep her lunch down while fi xing what she has been sent to repair. The veteran Kowalsky (George Clooney) is a decent leader, trying to keep his people safe. As they work in space, a transmission from Houston tells them that a Russian sat-ellite has exploded and the debris is hurtling towards them. They have seconds to react before, silently, the ob-jects smash into them, tear-ing apart the shuttle leaving them tethered together in space, fl oating helplessly. They are quite literally lost in space. Through some clever pure survival thinking Kowalsky gets them over to another station, and as we watch Stone, paralyzed with terror slowly slip out of her space suit we under-stand at once we are watch-ing a rebirth. This woman, who lost a child in her life, who did not really care about her life before, now

wants nothing more than to live, to survive. Believing she could escape her grief in the vastness of space, she fi nds instead that as she hovers between life and death high above the earth, she wants desperately to return to earth, to live her days grounded. She thinks and re-thinks, getting more creative with the manner in which she will try and return to earth, even speaking to a ghost (she thinks) before making the deadly descent back to that blue planet.

Sandra Bullock is re-markable as Stone in a per-formance that is among the very best of the year and easily the fi nest of her career, and yes, I include The Blind Side (2009). She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her per-formance as the fi rebrand adopted mother who runs her home with an iron fi st and deep love for her fam-ily. It was a good perfor-mance, but hardly the best of the year. For me it was the sort of performance she’s been giving for most of her career, a pretty, loving woman quick with a sharp tongue, one who is usually the smartest woman in the room, or at least thinks she is. The only time she has really ventured from this was Infamous (2006) in which she portrayed writer Harper Lee in a fi lm almost identical, some say better than Capote (2005).

There is nothing cute here, nothing smart ass, she does not know more than the rest of the world around her, in fact on the contrary, she struggles with each decision. Yet she fi nds her courage, and

with that ferocious will to live, she at least tries every-thing in her power. From a hyperventilating, terror stricken woman on the verge of a full scale nervous breakdown, to a brave and reborn woman willing to do anything to live, she gives a stunning performance that has given me a greater appre-ciation for her as an actress.

Cuaron fi lls the screen with beauty and unforgiv-ing destruction, space as deep and mysterious as one would hope, suddenly turned into horrifi c chaos when debris comes crash-ing into the shuttle, si-lently, wiping it out. What we do not realize is that it is circling the globe and about to come back, giv-ing them a certain of time to make it to the space sta-tion off in the distance. The director turns up the tension to make it often unbearable, and allows Bullock to create a three dimensional character, not afraid to allow her to show fear (which is raw primal terror), heartache and re-gret before her decision to give it a try to get home. There is a breathtaking scene which takes place in a small lake, a metaphor for creation that startled me with its poetic beauty, pay attention because it is not to be missed.

George Clooney, very much a supporting charac-ter does fi ne work, but we expect nothing less from him these days. His casual banter shows a comfort level in the role, and in a very quiet, sly manner he gives Stone the courage to attempt the almost impos-sible fl ight home.

Cuaron beautifully dis-plays our need to fl y, our need to conquer space, mankind’s quest to move from the waters, to land, and to stand on two feet to face the world, held to this earth by sheer gravity, and a deep love of life. He has made a masterpiece.

Dear Dr. Leite: Is there a natural way to assess my breast and body health so that I can work with a pre-ventative approach?

In Natural Medicine, we have designed various means to assess the health and well-being of your body with tools that aren’t invasive and do not involve compression or radiation.

One such tool, thermometry, does not involve radiation or compression using infra red technology to safely assess the body. This method of analysis pro-vides in-depth information regarding more than 120 points on the body which not only identify inflam-mation but may indicate where the original site of the issue resides. The dental area is often responsible for breast health. Thermometry is approved by Health Canada as an adjunct screening tool. Imaging tests like mammogram, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound technology are anatomical tests. Whole body thermometry is a functional test of organs and related systems.

The infra red assessment identifies heated zones on the body where disease may exist. For example, with any potentially cancerous growth in the body, the multiplying cells require extra blood supply to nourish the growth of the tumour. To discover the possibility of a serious imbalance, even before there is a formed growth, increases the potential for reversing the issue at an early stage.

Another form of assessment is live blood analysis where we are able to see what is present in your blood stream and you also have the opportunity to view the results on the computer screen. We can see cho-lesterol, immune challenges, health of the red blood cells, parasites, yeast and any other irregularity that could appear in blood work. We believe in analysis based upon the whole person, not one particular part as it is the sum of all parts that makes the whole. Consider this….

NORTH DURHAM: A pair of local workplaces were awarded recently as the Region of Durham’s Health Department handed out its 2013 Healthy Workplaces Awards, recognizing a number of workplaces through-out Durham Region for their role in influencing the health and wellbeing of their employees.

Uxbridge Cottage Hospital as well as Scugog Is-land’s Great Blue Heron Charity Casino were among the recipients of Helathy Workplace Awards, both re-cieving the Gold level.

Workplaces are awarded for focusing on at least one of the following health topics in a comprehensive manner: healthy eating, physical activity, tobacco-free living, sun safety and cancer screening. Some work-places also received awards in multiple categories.

Awards are presented to workplaces that plan health-related activities throughout the year to help employees learn more about how to make healthy choices. Awards are determined in three levels – gold, silver and bronze. Workplaces that receive an award are acknowledged for ensuring that the work envi-ronment is supportive of health, as well as having policies that support healthy practices at work.

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME


Port Perry can wel-come a famed UFC fighter and instructor to its midst, with the opening of a new Mixed Martial Arts dojo.

The owners and instructors of the Port Perry Academy of Martial Arts celebrated their offi-cial opening no Saturday, March 1, at 167 North Port Rd., Unit 1.

The event featured demonstrations by famed UFC fighter and PPAMA Brazilian Jui Jitsu instruc-tor Antonio Carvalho and his students, as well as prizes, give-aways, and a crowd of children as young as five years-old wrestling in the fully-fur-nished gym.

Antonio Carvalho is a UFC veteran, who owns a second-degree black belt, placed in the top ten for his featherweight class and has earned the title ‘Shooto Tetsujin’ or Sage/Ironman from his fans.

Originally from Sault Ste. Marie, he currently resides in Oshawa with his long-time girlfriend and will be teaching a range of classes to the residents of Port Perry -

from initial introductory training with new-com-ers, to sparring matches with accomplished MMA fighters.

“Mixed Martial Arts is a huge part of my life, I try to train every day because it keeps me physically fit and mentally sharp,” said Mr. Carvalho. “The most important thing a person can learn from training is the sense of respect and camaraderie you feel for those you train with. It’s so much more than cage fighting - it develops one’s concen-tration, self-discipline, self-esteem, and physical endurance.”

As the victim of bul-lying in the past, Mr. Carvalho is a strong advocate for non-vio-lence and respect. He has delivered numerous anti-bullying presentations and shares his experience with his students and local youth. He strongly enforces the martial arts creed of avoiding and defusing conflicts at any cost, while maintaining the knowledge and disci-pline to defend one’s self.

“Our spacious gym offers classes for every-

one,” said Tammy Philips, supporter and sister of co-owners Nick and Virginia Churchill. “Whether you’re looking to hone self-defence and competition bout skills, work on your cardio in a high-intensity yet non-combatant workout, take a yoga or kickboxing class, or sign your chil-dren up for a safe, fun, and friendly martial arts class - we’ve got a place for you.”

Ms. Philips went on to explain that the most important part of main-taining good health is to live an active lifestyle - “Whether it’s going for walks every day, visiting a gym, or competing in a professional sport like MMA, both parents and children need to get on their feet and have fun doing it.”

Whether looking to get in-shape, pur-sue professional MMA fighting, or learn a new skill; PPAMA has pro-grams and classes for al. Schedules and reg-istration can be found on-line at www.PPAMA.ca, or by phoning 905-985-0071.

The rest of the tour will feature some of the best locations in Scotland. Our Homecoming, Hebrides Tour in late September will have us travelling to the Outer Hebrides and Skye with some great adventures planned. Please check out our web-site for more details or email me.
