Port Perry Marina operator John Mackey is “shocked and disappointed” that progress on lease negotiations at the marina property was abruptly derailed by Scugog Township last month.

During a 90-minute closed session on Oct. 17, councillors motioned to carry on with the marina lease on a monthly basis - as it has since the lease ex-pired in 2009 - until Oct. 31, 2013, rather than opt for a new long-term agreement for the facility, as Mr. Mackey had hoped. The matter has been in discussion over the past several months.

The relationship between the two parties has be-come strained in recent times. Port Perry’s waterfront revitalization project has meant interruptions for the marina’s operation from construction on an expand-ed Scugog Memorial Public Library, to the removal of the marina’s boat launch, to loss of parking and a requirement (under the former Scugog Council) for off-site storage of docks and rental boats, resulting in increased expenses for Mr. Mackey. The marina prop-erty at the foot of Queen St. has often been referred to by various council members in recent years as part of ‘the hole in the doughnut’ of a revitalized Port Perry waterfront, seemingly leaving the future of the prop-erty in question.

“I’m very surprised that they’ve cut off negotiations,” said Mr. Mackey, who has operated the marina in its current location since 1984. “I’m very disappointed - I’ve suffered significantly here.”

However, Scugog Mayor Chuck Mercier said that “the door is still open” for a long-term lease negotia-tion, adding that he is not part of those discussions and that he expects the matter to return to council in the near future.

“We want a marina,” said the mayor. “We’re pleased with the product down there, so let’s roll up our sleeves and get something more cost-effective.”

For now, Mr. Mackey said that it will be business as usual at the marina, although he will be considering the feasibility of continuing on at the facility over the next few months, a decision which he said will hinge on maintaining a “high level of service” to customers.

“I want to see the negotiations re-opened,” he said. “This council has an opportunity to rebuild this rela-tionship, but it seems that they’re choosing not to.”

In the wake of hundreds of job cuts announced by food producer Maple Leaf last week, it appears that Port Perry’s Schneiders plant is not on the chopping block.

Maple Leaf Foods, Inc. - which includes the Sch-neiders brand - recently announced that more than 1,500 jobs across Canada would be affected by several plant closures resulting from consolidation, sched-uled to occur by the end of 2014. The announcement also stated that, in turn, several plants would see

re-investment as well as the establishment of a new 402,000 sq. ft. prepared meats facility in Hamilton, Ontario, estimated to create more than 1,100 jobs upon completion. Several distribution centres are also scheduled to close by 2014.

“The Scugog facility will not be affected by this an-nouncement,” said Maple Leaf spokesperson Linda Smith, adding that the reorganization only affects Maple Leaf ’s “secondary meat-processing plants.”

The Port Perry plant, located on Old Simcoe Rd., deals with baked goods and currently employs 120 workers.

REMEMBERING SACRIFICE: Murray Miller and Alma McClure of the Royal Canadian Legion - Branch 419 in Port Perry will be among the Legion members taking part in the annual poppy campaign this month.

The future of the Road Watch program in Scugog appears bright, a different story from only a few months ago when its sole remaining member announced her resigna-tion, threatening to leave the traffi c moni-toring initiative on an indefi nite hiatus.

Cst. Sue Kelly, the Durham police offi cer in charge of the local program, has received lots of positive feedback from eager volun-teers looking to donate their time to moni-tor aggressive and dangerous driving behav-iours on local roadways. The revitalization of the program was the subject of a recent front page story in The Standard.

Road Watch was all but fi nished in Scugog earlier this spring, when Margo Gadsden informed the township that she

would be resigning from the program after 14 years. At the time, she was the last volun-teer still monitoring local roads for danger-ous drivers. A public information session on the Road Watch program took place on Oct. 20 at 15 Division in Manchester, where Ms. Gadsen was recognized for her long-term commitment to the program.

“We’re happily surprised,” said Cst. Kelly of the community interest. “Most impor-tantly, Road Watch makes other people aware of their actions, but it also allows po-lice to know of things going on out there that we may not normally know about.”

“In Touch”

Fall Maintenance Tip for your Home The GuttersIt’s best to inspect and clean the gutters a few times during the fall, especially if there are many leafy trees around your house. If gutters remain clogged, water will spill over them and onto the ground next to the foundation, which may cause damage to the foundation. Gutters and downspouts should be kept clean and should direct water away from the foundation, as well as from walkways and driveways, so that they do not become slippery or icy.Windows and DoorsChange summer screens to cool weather storm windows and doors. In-spect and repair any loose or damaged window or door frames. Install weather stripping or caulking around windows and doors to prevent drafts and lower heating bills. Clean and lubricate garage door hinges, rollers, and tracks and be sure screws are tight. Heating SystemsReplace the filter in your furnace. Consider having a heating professional check your heating system to ensure optimal performance and discover minor problems before they turn into costly major repairs. Clean your ducts. Also check for air leakage especially around joints.

Hello Friends!We hope everyone is well. The kids are back to school, older kids are settled into college or university and parents Breathing a Sigh of Relief!

We have had some highs and lows in this past Summer. We were fortunate to celebrate “Our Parents” 6oth. Wedding Anniversary. It was a great Party! We were fortunate to have all the family and good friends attend. “A good time was had by all”

Sadly we were missing one person. In June my husband Lorne passed away suddenly. He touched a lot of people’s lives and words cannot express how much he is missed by all his family and friends.

Here’s Howard’s Slow Pitch team winning their league for the 5th. year in a row. Congrats to all!

The Corporation of the Township of Scugog has successfully negotiated a four-year agreement with the members of the Ca-nadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1785-01.

“A collaborative working relationship has facilitated amicable negotiations,” said Mayor Chuck Mercier. “The parties acknowledged the current economic con-ditions and achieved a rea-sonable and responsible agreement that is simi-lar to CUPE agreements across the province.”

The contract includes a modest increase in vision care and para-medical ser-vices, as well as bereave-ment leave enhancements. Scugog Council approved salary adjustments of two per cent effective April 1, 2011; 2.1 per cent effective April 1, 2012; 2.2 per cent effective April 1, 2013; and 2.25 per cent effective April 1, 2014 for the last year of the contract to March 31, 2015. Scugog is on par with comparable munici-palities and with recently settled CUPE agreements.

More than $20,000 has been raised so far and 40 volunteers from across North Durham have do-nated their time to build a new Scugog-Uxbridge animal shelter, commit-tee members told coun-cillors last week.

Art Matthews and Ginger Jackson, chairs of the committee for the new animal shelter build, made the rounds at Scugog and Uxbridge councils last Monday (Oct. 24) evening, giving councillors an update on the project, which was pitched to those same

municipal representa-tives this past January.

Among the highlights were a current donation total of just over $20,000 between the two commu-nities, as well as 40 volun-teers signing on to make the new shelter a reality.

“We’ve got people from all walks of life,” said Ms. Jackson, “brought to-gether by the same hopes and wishes for animals.”

The committee has also been incorporated as a non-profit organi-zation, and is currently working to become a reg-istered charity. An open house for volunteers is in the works for Uxbridge, following a successful event in Scugog earlier this fall.

Currently, the commit-tee is looking at a three-year time frame to see the completion of the shelter, which will boast features such as increased floor space, quarantine areas, more office space, a pet viewing area and a garage for shelter vehicles.

“You’re well on your way,” said Ward 3 Coun-cillor Pat Mikuse, “to see-ing this project complet-ed well before then.”

As a lover of old movies I have, of late, become something of an addict to The Clas-sic Movie Channel (TCM).

It runs the usual standards we all remember from old Hollywood, but sometimes they slip into other more controversial territory.

Among the most amusing ... and sometimes hor-rifyingly ... are films that have not run for many years because they show blacks, Chinese and Native Americans in a very prejudiced and often stereotypi-cal light.

Although depressing, these films give a somewhat enlightening look at how mainstream culture of the 20s, 30s and 40s dealt with racial issues, equal-ity and human rights. For instance, violence against women as a matter of regular matrimonial life is rife throughout the early films.

What is somewhat humorous in these racial slurs is that minor parts were played by actors of whatever ethnic community was being represented, while ma-jor roles were played by Hollywood stars who relied on bad make-up and worse accents to sell the part.

And those actors often received great accolades for absolutely horrible portrayals. Imagine Kather-ine Hepburn as a Chinese lady ... ’cause she’s played one. Not ‘On Golden Pond’ calibre, let me tell you.

My personal hero, Groucho Marx, was a past mas-ter at camouflaging very racy jokes in the guise of simple slapstick humour.

Example?“If I was holding you any tighter madam, I’d be

standing behind you!”This kind of humour in a day when married peo-

ple could not be shown in the same bed.I wonder how many ‘twin bed’ sets were sold be-

cause people thought, “Well, that’s what the stars do.” The stars? They all slept together in one gigan-tic custom-made bed, dummy!

And the silent movies? Man some of those stopped just short of soft-porn.

Once the ‘talkies’ hit in 1929, smoking and being drunk for extended periods of time was considered the norm. It makes one wonder at what point Ward and June Cleaver brought their milk-white sexless marriage to the tiny screen.... Never mind Doris Day and Rock Hudson. I mean, what were they thinking about during those bedroom scenes?

----------------------------------------------------------------You may have noticed (if you’re reading the Ux-

bridge edition) that we are beginning to distribute your paper by way of drops at local retailers and newspaper boxes. Why, you may ask? Well, never mind I’m gonna tell you anyway!

It takes time to build a good advertising base in a new area and after one year-or-so in Uxbridge we have built a readership that is loyal and very, very supportive of their new ‘local’ community paper. So when ad revenues didn’t catch up as quickly as we would have liked, we didn’t do what the ‘cor-porate’ papers would have done - sold to an even larger chain or just plain pull out and leave you to the lower common denominator you had before we arrived. We simply stepped back from the incredibly high cost of postal delivery and went to giving you what you said you wanted ... a local paper with lo-cal content and local reporters, while we build the advertising base up to where we need it to be to sur-vive. We could have gone with carriers but we didn’t like the idea of charging little kids to work for us. Seriously, you didn’t know some papers do that? Ask around.

But rest assured we aren’t going anywhere and we will continue to do what no one else in North Dur-ham has yet to manage ... be an actual newspaper!

Durham police respond-ed to two serious colli-sions in Uxbridge Town-ship last week, including one that claimed the life of a 54-year-old off-duty York police offi cer and in-jured two others.

Last Thursday (Oct. 27), at approximately 3:38 p.m., officers from North Division responded to the two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Sand-ford Rd. and the York-Durham Line.

Offi cers determined that a northbound Chevrolet Impala on the York Dur-ham Line was struck by a Chevrolet pick-up that had been travelling eastbound on Sandford Rd.

Police said the 54-year-old male driver of the Chevrolet, from Mount Albert, was pronounced dead at the collision scene. His 54-year old female passenger, a Newmarket resident, was rushed to a nearby hospital with seri-ous injuries. The 76-year-old driver of the pick-up truck, from Brechin, was also taken to a nearby hos-pital with minor injuries.

The deceased has been identifi ed as Mark Grant, a York police offi cer who was off-duty at the time of the crash.

Collision investigators from the Traffi c Services Branch were called and the roadway was closed for several hours to col-lect evidence and conduct their investigation.

Anyone with informa-tion about this incident is asked to call the Traffi c Services Branch at 905-579-1520, ext. 5213.

Another collision, this one involving three ve-hicles, occurred at ap-proximately 9:50 a.m. on Wednesday (Oct. 26) morn-ing, in the area of Hwy. 47 and Old Stouffville Rd. Police said that a north-bound vehicle on Hwy. 47 crossed the centre line and crashed head-on with a second vehicle, which travelled into the ditch, rolling on its roof.

The fi rst vehicle then continued in the south-bound lane, striking a third vehicle. All drivers were transported to Ux-bridge Cottage Hospital for treatment. The drivers of the second and third vehicles were later released with minor injuries. The

driver of the fi rst vehicle was later transported to Sunnybrook Health Sci-ence Centre in Toronto for further evaluation of non-life threatening injuries.

No charges were laid in the incident, said police.

Anyone with new infor-mation about this inves-tigation is asked to con-tact Cst. Pinkowski of the North Division at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2672.

Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477or on-line at www.durhamregionalcrimestop-pers.ca and tipsters may be eligible for a cash re-ward of up to $2,000.

As I write this column, there is a 20-year-old vampire with a broken foot sitting in the next room, fl apping mad-ly as she watches Watership Down videos on YouTube. Is this how the young undead spend their days, I wonder, or just the hobbled ones? Shouldn’t the succubus be sleep-ing, resting up for a night of relentless blood sucking?

Many of you may remember that Stephanie was a vam-pire last Halloween, and while sporting the same costume twice is verboten for my autistic trick or treater, we had assumed - and made deals based on - the fact that she wouldn’t be going door to door in a cast.

While the thought of a new movie or DS game in ex-change for a pillowcase full of candy sounded appealing for a spell, Stephie’s youthful spirit became increasingly unsettled about staying home to shell out the closer we got to All Hallows Eve.

By the time we had carved our single pumpkin into the jack-o-lantern likeness of Efrafa’s war-torn General Woundwort, the most terrifying of all Watership Down characters, Stephie had convinced herself that visiting a few houses wasn’t going make her foot any more broken.

The homes in our neighbourhood, most of them semis, may be too close for comfort for most country mice, but from a greedy trick or treater’s perspective, Toronto streets are paradise. So much candy, so little distance to travel between doorsteps.

Every Oct. 31, we think it will be Stephie’s last as a vo-racious treat hunter. But that’s the thing about kids who

don’t grow up: the good times never end. Santa still fi lls your stocking to overfl owing, the Easter Bunny seems to fi nd more places to hide eggs each year and Halloween is perpetually the one day in the year your parents let you stay up late gorging on bite-size chocolate bars and min-iature bags of chips.

Well, your mom, anyway.Dad has been stressing about the sugar overload for

more than a month. Except for beer, Rob has been spared a sweet tooth and he worries that the usual sack of candy will hasten Stephie’s early demise - or at least a monstrous dental bill.

“Instead of collecting candy this year, why don’t you dress up and give out candy instead,” he suggested pre-cast. She looked at him like he’d grown another head long before it was acceptable to don a costume.

“Are you joking?!” she said.Apparently, he wasn’t. He tempted her with ‘grown-up

parties,’ the blu ray version of the Lion King and a new doggie dress-up game for her DS. She wasn’t having any part of it. She was going out trick or treating if he killed her.

Until she fell down the stairs and her candy acquisition dreams came crashing down around her. When the pain was bad, even she could see the impossibility of the situa-tion. The houses are close together but they all have stairs to climb.

Like a smart little goblin, she quickly snapped up the ‘gift instead of goodies’ deal.

But that was then. Two weeks to the day and she’s feel-

ing pretty plucky.She trundled off to school in

full vampire regalia today and came home happy as Dracula at a blood donor clinic: ash-en-faced, widow-peaked and shadow-eyed, with fl akes of dried hemoglobin on her lips. All we have to do in a couple of hours is a little theatri-cal touch-up and she’s good to go, pillowcase in (mom’s) hand.

At the very least, we’re going to test the waters with a few house calls. If her foot hurts too much, we’ll head back home and she can guard the door. But vampires don’t feel pain do they? Unless it’s a stake through the heart, and I’m pretty sure Rob doesn’t feel that strongly about it.

Last year in an ironic twist, a boy with special needs who was demoted to candy-giver criticized Stephie for be-ing too old for trick or treating. Instead of feeling embar-rassed for herself, she felt sorry for him. He had clearly been gypped of one of the great joys of being special. Liv-ing with a handicap means a life of hardship, but there are perks. The trick is to take advantage of them. And judg-ing by her usual bag of treats, Stephie’s got that down to a science.

Durham remembersCommunities across

Durham Riding will be hon-ouring the fallen on Nov. 11 and at ceremonies and special events leading up to Remembrance Day. It is my honour to represent the Province of Ontario at Re-membrance Services. This is a time to pay tribute to all who fought for Canada to preserve peace and freedom at home and abroad. This is also a time to pay tribute to all who serve so courageously in the present-day Canadian military and the veterans who have served with equal dedication in the past.

More than 1.5 million Canadians served in the two World Wars and in the Korean War. In these confl icts, more than 110,000 Canadians gave their lives for our country. Veterans’ Week is ob-served in Canada Nov. 5 to 11. There is growing support for making Nov. 11 a national day of remembrance (I hesitate to call it a national holiday) by closing schools and businesses. I would appre-ciate your comments on expanding the scope of Remembrance Day. Your input is important to me. I can be reached at [email protected] and or 905-697-1501 (1-800-661-2433).

The Department of National De-fence/Canadian Forces employs more than 35,000 men and women in On-tario, including members of the regular and reserve forces and civilian person-nel. Two on-line web sites that recognize Canada’s military history and heritage may be of interest: www.archives.gov.on.ca and www.cmhg-phmc.gc.ca.

I would like to thank the three Royal Canadian Legions in my Riding (Branch 178 - Bowmanville; Branch 419 - Port Perry; and Branch 170 - Uxbridge.) The Legions face challenges familiar to many volunteer organizations, and there is a decline in the number of our oldest vet-erans. They deserve our support.

Federal Bill Proposes 15 More Seats for Ontario

Last week, the federal government introduced legislation proposing a re-distribution of seats in the House of Commons. The proposal calls for Ontario to get another 15 seats. B.C. and Alberta would each gain six and Quebec will get three.

It is important that po-litical representation keeps pace with changes in popu-

lation growth and the distribution of voters. I hope the re-distribution pro-cess might create an additional seat for the rapidly growing Durham Region. Eventually, the Ontario Legislature may have to decide whether it wants to add 15 seats in the Provincial Parliament to coincide with the additional representa-tion being proposed federally.

Ontario Reviews Cycling DeathsOntario’s Chief Coroner has an-

nounced a review of cycling deaths across the province. This review is being undertaken as a result of public concern surrounding the issue of cycling safety. Cycling is popular for both transpor-tation and fi tness. One of the recent trends has been a growing number of so-called e-bikes that operate by pedal power and electric power. Sadly, the sta-tistics tell us that between 15 and 20 cy-clists die from injuries each year in On-tario. Deaths from 2006 to 2010 will be included in the review. Its purpose is to identify common factors that may have played a role in the deaths, and where possible, to make recommendations to prevent similar tragedies. Look for a report and recommendations in the spring of 2012. I would hope that the use of e-bikes (equipped with both ped-als and a small electric motor) would be included in the review.

The long-awaited (by some, at least) tabling of a federal bill that will effec-tively kill off the long gun registry final-ly came about last week.

It’s not the end of the world as some may think.

First, the numbers - several million dollars a year since 2001 in operating costs - is no small figure. This is on top of nearly $1 billion spent to implement the program.

If the money saved by scrapping the registry can be put toward some better uses, say healthcare or the environment or tackling the social roots of crime, then I’m all for it.

Throwing all of it at increasing the number of police officers and prisons, when the rate of violent crime - especially incidents involving long guns - is drop-ping across the country, seems counter-intuitive.Coincidentally, those long gun crime numbers have been dropping over several years, and not since the imple-mentation of the registry.

Given this government’s track record, I’m not banking on the first set of op-tions outlined above. But saving money, especially in light of a renewed world-wide financial crisis, is always a good thing - moreso when it’s money that may not have been well spent.

It certainly won’t inspire legions of as-piring crooks across the country to take up arms, nor will the lack of a registry mean that criminals will pick up rifles in favour of handguns for use in robberies.

It’s implausible to think that the aver-age gun-wielding thug has been waiting for the government to kill the registry for the sake of having an untraceable weapon. They’ve likely already been us-ing one.

Should a criminal choose to use a long gun, there’s a good chance it was either

stolen and ren-dered untrace-able or never reg-istered to begin with.

Keeping the registry alive won’t do much to control restricted or illegal firearms, like some of the high-powered rifles that were being used at a local con-servation area earlier this spring.

Perhaps if we spent some of the mil-lions of dollars that went to the registry on combating the flow of restricted or illegal weapons into the hands of crimi-nals in this country, we’d be taking real steps toward fighting gun crime.

Looking at statistics, numbers for handgun crimes are higher than those involving long guns.

And although it’s a lesser problem than those weapons described above, a long gun registry does nothing to con-trol the use of converted replica firearms - such as starter’s pistols - in the com-mission of criminal acts, an encroach-ing problem reported by several police departments, including Durham.

Killing the registry will allow law-abiding hunters and farmers - the vast majority of long gun users - to more eas-ily access firearms as a recreational de-vice or tool.

Most importantly, it will end a politi-cal chess game with the taxpayer as the unwitting pawn.

In the end, the registry’s legacy comes down to politics and the exploitation of the urban-rural divide by the various political parties - alternately appealing to the rural demand for less-restricted firearm ownership and the urban fear of gun crime - rather than any sort of proven ability to stop gun crime.

Several million dollars a year is too high a price to play that game.

The long, and short

A Thousand MonkeysBLAKE WOLFE The Standard



TRACEY COVEART The Standard

If the heart of Port Perry is the local hospital, then the Port Perry Hospital Foundation is the heartbeat of the community. You can’t have one without the other.

The Port Perry Hospital Foundation (Registered Charity Number 89145 0843 RR0001) was incorporated as a Cor-poration without Share Capital in 1979.

Since then, it has raised not only the profi le of the hos-pital in the Lakeridge Health system but also millions of dollars for Lakeridge Health Port Perry through generous donations from the community, helping to ensure the hos-pital doors remain open and patients receive the care they need, when they need it, here, at home.

The foundation is operated by a volunteer Board of Directors that meets eight to 10 times per year - there are seven members at present and, unlike other healthcare boards, none of them receive compensation for the work they do - and a staff of two full-time employees: the Execu-tive Director and an Annual Giving Coordinator.

The mandate of the foundation is simple: to raise funds for equipment and programs at Lakeridge Health Port Perry and only Lakeridge Health Port Perry. Money that is raised here, stays here.

“The main concern of donors is that their contribu-tions are used for equipment only for the hospital in Port

Perry,” said foundation Executive Director Cindy Lister. “We are located in the hospital and we work cooperatively with Lakeridge Health to determine equipment needs for fundraising purposes, but we function as a separate entity. We maintain our own bank accounts, books and records. We are guided by a set of bylaws, and the bylaws are reviewed annually.”

Although the waters may be a little murky south of the ridges these days, the Port Perry Hospital Foundation is a transparent and fully accountable charity.

“Our fi nancial statements are reviewed by the board at every meeting so that each director is aware of our fi nan-cial status,” said Ms. Lister, “and our operating budget is approved annually. This year, for example, we have com-mitted to spending more than $500,000 on equipment and programs.”

Monthly fi nancial statements, Ms. Lister told The Stan-dard, “are produced by a third-party bookkeeper and we are audited annually. The auditor reviews policies and ‘grills’ staff on procedures: from how donations are re-ceived, processed and receipted to checking to see that the funds raised were spent as intended.”

That means when the foundation sends out a mailing to its donors soliciting funds for a particular piece of equip-ment or program, the money is spent on that particular piece of equipment or program. There is no gray area. Promises made are promises kept. No matter how long it takes to keep them.

“One of the challenges we’ve encountered since the Broader Public Sector Procurement Directive was passed is that it takes a long time to make an equipment purchase,” said Ms. Lister. “We can fundraise for equipment that’s on the LHPP equipment list, but it may not arrive until the next fi scal year. This can be frustrating for donors who are looking forward to seeing their gift in action as soon as possible. And it can create a problem when you have a disbursement quota to meet.”

(A disbursement quota is the percentage of funds raised that must be spent in a 24-month period.)

Checks and balances, however, are fi rmly in place.Bylaws include specifics on the number of officers

who have signing authority and the limitations on their powers.

“We submit a charity information return annually to the Canada Revenue Agency and this can be viewed on their web site at www.cra-arc.gc.ca,” said Ms. Lister.

The Canada Revenue Agency maintains a searchable list of Canadian charities, which allows any member of the public to confi rm whether a charity is registered under the Income Tax Act and is therefore eligible to issue offi cial donation receipts for income tax purposes; view a charity’s information return; learn more about a charity’s fi nancial information (assets, liabilities, income and expenditures); investigate the activities of a registered charity; and fi nd out how to contact a charity.

And the local media plays a watchdog role of sorts, too.“We’re grateful to have the support of our local newspa-

pers because they provide excellent coverage - from pho-tos of cheque presentations to articles about needs at the hospital,” said Port Perry Hospital Foundation President Joan Gordon. “Readers can see who is donating and what is being donated.

“Our Board of Directors is cautious about how we spend donated funds,” continued Ms. Gordon. “We appreciate every gift, from the smallest to the largest donation. It all adds up to the ability to help make life better for patients and staff, and that’s what we’re here for.”

In a world where size defi nitely matters, being smaller than your counterparts is sometimes better, both for ac-countability and transparency and for accessibility.

“One advantage of being a smaller organization is ac-

cess,” said Ms. Lister. “We can walk down the hall and ask the nurse on the front line about what they feel is really needed, and we can see for ourselves whether that equip-ment has arrived.”

And being smaller means a different - and less complicated, convoluted and questionable - approach to raising money.

“National organizations and big hospitals run large events and lotteries because they have the fi nancial ability to do that,” said Ms. Gordon. “It’s easier to monitor your fundraising activities when they’re simpler.”

Which is a good thing, since fundraising is an ongoing and endless activity for the Port Perry Hospital Foundation. There is always a need for new equipment and programs, which means there is always a need for more money.

“Our last big capital project was the Lighting the Way! Campaign to raise $4.5 million dollars for a new Endos-copy Suite and capital equipment for the Endo Suite, Sur-gery, OR, Diagnostic Imaging, ER and New Life Centre,” said Ms. Lister. “Most pledges are complete. In fact, we ac-cept the Township of Scugog’s fi nal payment of $100,000 on Nov. 7.”

The new Endoscopy Suite was offi cially opened on Feb. 11, 2008.

“We now average almost 2,200 procedures a year be-tween our three surgeons,” said Ms. Lister, “and patients can be booked in every day of the week except Friday.”

Most recently, foundation projects and purchases in-clude an $18,000 laryngoscope for the hospital’s anesthe-tists; $25,000 invested in new vital signs monitors for the med/surg ward and remodelling and refurnishing of the patient lounge; $100,000 worth of new and replacement equipment for the Lab; and $45,000 for specialized moni-toring systems for the Post Anesthetic Recovery Area.

In these tough economic times, giving is not easy. Mon-ey is tight. Priorities must be established. And the founda-tion, while always in need and grateful for every donation, is acutely aware of these pressing realities and sets its tar-gets accordingly.

“In a community like ours,” said Ms. Gordon, “it’s impor-tant to remember that there are many worthwhile causes needing support. It can be diffi cult for donors, particularly businesses, who are constantly approached for that same dollar. We keep that in mind when deciding whether to take on new fundraising initiatives.”

After a careful review of the hospital’s most pressing re-quirements, the foundation is about to send out its Christ-mas mailing stating its patient care priorities for the com-ing year. On the wish list is:

-$10,000 for the GIVE (Geriatric Initiatives of Volunteers for the Elderly) Program;

-$8,000 for a Glidescope (with stand) for the Emergency Department;

-$11,000 for a Cardiac Monitor for the ER;-$30,000 for a Flexible Bronchoscope for Surgery; and-$12,000 for Endo Chole Instruments/Tray for Surgery.It’s a tall order, but the Port Perry Hospital Foundation

has a proven track record of success when it comes to meet-ing patient needs.

In her message in the Christmas mailing, which should arrive at your door shortly, Ms. Gordon says:

“I’ve had an opportunity to see fi rst-hand how my dona-tions are being used. And although it seems there is never enough to go around, I can say to you with confi dence that every dollar I’ve given to help out at Port Perry Hospital has been a dollar wisely invested.”

Wisely invested and well spent. On your community. On your family and friends. On you.

On behalf of your loved ones this holiday season, con-sider donating to the Port Perry Hospital Foundation. There is no great gift than the gift of good health.

Are your fl owers and veg-gies in from the garden? I wasn’t quite quick enough but saved most. The frost was thick on the pumpkins on Sunday but was lovely to photograph.

The community was saddened by the death of Morley Bain, who had been ill for some time. Morley, a life-time Zephyr citizen, was in municipal politics as a councillor and reeve for Scott Township and, for 31 years, Sheriff of Ontario County and Durham Re-gion. He was active in com-munity and church affairs. Visitation and celebration of his life took place in Zephyr Church with Rev. Diane Bennett-Jones con-ducting the service. Our

sympathies to wife Bev and his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren!

The Ontario Scholar list missed one young man of the community. Justin, son of Leanne and Larry O’Connor, was in a co-op program with Port Perry High School, learning to build houses at Windfi eld Farms.

Cor and Jenny Van Maurik enjoyed a wonderful cruise on the Black Sea and visits to Athens and Rome. In Athens they noted the terrible condi-tions brought about by the general economic chaos in that country but had no per-sonal troubles.

Caroline Hicken has been soaking up the heat in sunny Mexico.

Janice Risebrough and

I, along with many others, attended the library last Wednesday when David Phillips showed slides and described he and wife Anne’s trip to South Africa. Points of interest included Soweto, Swaziland and Victoria Falls. David will be guest speaker at Sandford, on Sunday, Nov.13, at 9:30 a.m. This is a joint service with Zephyr, as Rev. Diane is on study leave. David will inform us about the First Nations Reconcilia-tion Commission.

Last Thursday, Sandford UCW members enjoyed a lively and inspiring pre-sentation by Tinie Evans on the work of Port Per-ry’s G-Moms. A branch of the Stephen Lewis Foun-dation, they work with

grandmothers in South Africa who are left to raise their grandkids when their parents are killed by HIV/AIDS or violence. Offi cially called the ‘Grandmothers to Grandmothers’ Cam-paign, each community names their own group to fi t. Tinie’s representation of South Africa and Sowe-to was in contrast to the one presented by David.

Sunday, Nov. 6, is Peace Sunday/Remem-brance Day and there will be special events.

On Nov. 20, the Zephyr UCW meets at the church. Sandford UCW does not meet this month as we are involved in the Roast Beef Supper on Wednesday, Nov. 23. Feast here!

Our community lost another senior citizen last week with the passing of Maria Hoogeveen after a long illness. Sympathy is extended to her husband of many years, Peter, and their children Anne Marie and her husband Neil Wil-lams and Bob and Cathy Hoogeveen and the grandchildren. Rie was very ac-tive in the community as well as help-ing Peter run their very successful dairy farm until Bob was old enough to help his dad. For many years, Rie lovingly tended the cenotaph as her tribute to the Canadian soldiers who saved her native Holland from the enemy. The visitation and funeral took place at Port Perry Roman Catholic Church on Saturday morning.

On Saturday, the annual meeting of District 4 of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies met at Blackstock United Church. Members of the local fair board catered the lunch for those who attended. Guy Scott of Kinmount was the guest speaker for the meeting, speaking on ‘The Future of our Fairs.’

Nov. 11 is the annual Remembrance Day Ceremony, beginning with a ser-vice at the Blackstock Recreation Cen-tre. Following the service, everyone will parade to the cenotaph for the ceremo-ny of remembrance at 11 a.m.

Last Saturday, the ladies of the 30s enjoyed lunch together in Port Perry and had a wonderful time of visiting and fellowship. These ladies had all

attended high school together here in Blackstock and were all born in 1930.

On Friday, Nov. 18, at 7:30 p.m., St. John’s Anglican Church and Black-stock United Church will present the launch for Paul Arculus’ newest book, ‘Durant’s Right-hand Man.’ This unique event will take place at St. John’s, with free admission.

This week and next we will remember our war he-roes past and present by buying a poppy and wearing it proudly in support of our veterans, their spouses and de-pendents and the families of deceased veterans. Take time to remember on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m.

At Greenbank (11 a.m.) and Seagrave (9:30 a.m.), church services on Nov. 13, Peace Sunday will be recog-nized with guest Don Kerr, a retired Canadian Armed Forces Major.

We extend our sympathy to Harold Howsam and fam-ily on the death of his wife Joyce, who passed away on Fri-day, Oct. 28. Funeral arrangements are with Low and Low Funeral Home, Reach St., Port Perry.

Sympathy is also extended to Bob and Murray Stone, their families and extended families, with the passing of their sister Linda Newstead, also on Oct. 28.

Congratulations to Jessica Phoenix, wife of Joel, who - with her horse, ‘Pavarotti’ - won Gold at the Pan Am Games in the ‘Eventing’ category, which includes dres-sage, show jumping and cross country. She was also part of the Canadian team that won Silver. Jessica is only the second Canadian ever to win Gold in individual games at the Pan-Am Games in Eventing.

School NewsSunshine Kids receiving tickets for good deeds this

past week were Joshua T (Grade 2), Kayla Henderson and Keaton Phoenix.

The DEAA Cross Country Finals at Lakeridge was the fi nale for all of the Durham Region schools. Eleven Greenbank students competed with great enthusiasm and dedication, doing an amazing job. Special mention goes out to Lilly Tuck (5th), Zoe Paulin (13th), Finn Tuck (11th) and Gibson Baird (15th). Special congratulation to the 10-year-old girls’ team, who placed second in all of Durham Region. They received a ‘runners-up’ cross coun-try banner. A huge thank you to Ms. Clarkson and Mrs. Wagenaar for all their support and encouragement.

Church NewsJim and Kim Thomson were greeters and ushers for

Mission and Service Sunday. Ted Smith welcomed guest minister Rev. Les Hills of Sunderland. The children at-tending wore their Halloween costumes for their special time at Sunday School, and enjoyed Rev. Hills story of how small things like apple seeds, grains of sand and pen-nies can make big things happen: like apple trees, sand boxes and beaches, and a large offering to help others through Mission and Service.

The Ladies Chorus sang ‘Seek Ye First,’ and Reta Stick-wood’s solo - ‘People Need the Lord’ - was lovely. The message was ‘Faith, Hope and Love Enacted.’

Blackstock and District Lions ClubMonique Crichton, a Grade 8 student at Cartwright Central Public School in Blackstock,

created the winning poster for our Lions annual Peace Poster Contest. Her poster was sub-mitted to the District Contest over the weekend in competition with 10 other posters. The theme of this year’s contest’s theme is, ‘Children Know Peace.’ It is getting more diffi cult to select a winner every year!

The District winner was a student from Kedron P.S., sponsored by the North Oshawa Lions Club. We thank Ms. Teefy for all her work with the students at Cartwright Central.

We had a lot of rain this past week, we but at least we haven’t had to get the shovels out!

Robin and Brett Drew and family ar-rived home mid-week after a week-long cruise in the Caribbean. Hurricane Rina prevented them from visiting one port of call. We send our prayers out to Rob-in as she has since spent a few days in the hospital. Hope that you are feeling better now.

Eleanor and Ken Sturman were the friendly greeters and were pleasantly sur-prised when young Jordyn and Devon Hooker arrived dressed as witches.

There were two visitors to the birthday box, Marley Cannon and Karen Huestis both celebrating their special day.

This was the week for the pulpit ex-change and we were pleased to welcome Rev. Walter Murray and his wife Juanita. Rev. Murray was born in Nova Scotia and has preached across Canada. He is now retired and a part-time supply minister in Cannington.

Betty Lou Beacock, Donna Sweetman, Don Real and Rick McAskill participated in a skit about building a house, explain-ing that it takes more than one person with a hammer, nails and wood. It takes several people with various skills to fi nish the project... ‘One person is not enough, together we are powerful.’

Juanita Murray read the scriptures. The sermon was about the Mission and Service Fund, entitled ‘My Story, Your Story, Our Story.’ Marg and Don Real played a video about the work by the

Mission and Service Fund in the Jane and Finch area in Toronto.

This area, with 110 nationalities, has the lowest poverty area in Canada. The fund helps many local areas in need, as well as abroad. We are all God’s people: a healthy congregation is a giving congregation.

There was a special collection for Mis-sion and Services. There will be envelopes available if you missed this collection.

Hope all the fairies, ghosts and goblins enjoy trick or treating on Halloween, and that the weather cooperates for them.

North Durham celebrates the passionate life of Larry Pilkey

DARRYL KNIGHT The Standard

The North Durham com-munity was saddened this week following the passing of Larry Pilkey, a member of the fi rst Uxbridge Bruins Ju-nior ‘C’ hockey team.

Mr. Pilkey, 52, who was originally from Claremont and later moved to Port Perry, passed away peace-fully at his home amongst his family and friends on Thursday, Oct. 27, af-ter courageously battling brain cancer.

The Uxbridge Bruins paid tribute to Mr. Pilkey prior to their game on Friday (Oct. 28) night with a special cer-emony conducted by Dan Pollard, who shared his own memories of ‘Pilk.’

“He was full of life,” re-called Pollard. “Some might have called it mischief, but he was truly always full of life.”

Before the Bruins home opener in September, Mr. Pilkey was honoured along with the other original mem-bers of the team in another pre-game ceremony, and his name elicited the loudest cheers of all.

Friday’s ceremony also fea-tured a ceremonial face-off conducted by Larry’s sister Terri and the Bruins paid trib-ute by hanging the Number 9 sweater behind their bench.

Larry Pilkey joined the Bruins as a 17-year-old. Orig-inally a right winger, Pilkey made the switch to defence and scored 22 goals in just 26 games played - a feat that is all the more remarkable since the team scored less than 100 goals the entire season.

Hockey was a focal point throughout Pilkey’s life.

After his Junior hockey career fi nished, he moved on to coaching, and MoJacks Head Coach Corey Bricknell credites Pilkey with helping him at a key point in his own hockey career.

“I was in Bantam and wound up playing for the Midget team coached by Doug Scott and Larry that won an All-Ontario champi-onship,” recalled Bricknell. “Larry always kept it posi-tive on the bench. You never heard from him until you needed to.”

When asked if Pilkey was a contributing factor in help-ing Bricknell graduate to the Jr. ‘A’ ranks the next season with the Oshawa Legion-naires, Bricknell responded without hesitation.

“Absolutely. I learned a lot from him over the course of that year. Mainly to have a memory like a rabbit - never more than 30 seconds - and knowing that you can never get time back on the clock. You have to make the most of the time you still have.”

In 1987, Pilkey joined the Markham Fire Depart-ment, working at various fi re stations in Markham throughout his 25-year career. He is also fondly remembered there.

“Markham Council of-fers its deepest condolences to Firefi ghter Larry Pilkey’s family and friends,” said Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti in a press release. “A dedicated Markham fi re-

fi ghter for his entire career, Larry Pilkey was an exem-plary representative of our community and his absence will be felt by Markham Fire and Emergency Services and our community.”

Other members of the Markham Fire Department expressed their heartfelt condolences to Mr. Pilkey’s family in the days following his death.

“Larry will be missed by all members of the Markham Professional Firefi ghters Association,” MPFFA Presi-dent Walter Brinston said in a press release. “He was the type of person who was loved by all. If you knew Lar-ry you would like him. He never had a bad thing to say about anyone and gained your respect and friendship through his humour and natural leadership ability.”

According to Pollard, Pilkey’s sense of humour and love of sports endured right up until his fi nal moments.

“Shortly before his death, Larry said to his sis-ter ‘I’m ready. I just hope I’m not reincarnated as a Toronto Maple Leafs goal-ie.’ That was Larry Pilkey,” recalled Pollard.

Mr. Pilkey leaves behind his devoted wife Louise, sons Luke and Jake, siblings Terri, Lenni and Tracy and his extended family and a vast network of friends. Our thoughts are with them at this diffi cult time.

On-line condolences for Larry Pilkey can be made at http://lowandlow.ca/notices.htm.

ASHENHURST PHOTOGRAPHY Special to The Standard



Although he has been serving Prince Albert’s Hope Christian Reformed Church for nearly a year, the congregation offi cially welcomed Pastor Bernhard VanderVlis last week as its new permanent minister.

Pastor VanderVlis was offi cially installed as Hope Reform’s new minister last Friday (Oct. 21), marking the end of three years with no permanent minister at the church.

Over the last year, how-

ever, he has fi lled in as in-terim minister, leading the church to realize that their long search was over.

“I had offered my servic-es to several churches and worked at Hope Reformed from November 2010 to this past June on con-tract,” he said, “and then I was offered the position full time. The church com-munity has been tremen-dously welcoming - we feel right at home.”

Outside of his voca-tion, Pastor VanderVlis is

an amateur photographer and said that he has been impressed with both the ‘country close to the city’ feel of the community and the focus on the arts.

“People here are so pas-sionate about sculpture and painting,” he said. “The community is a spring of creativity.”

Currently residing in Uxbridge with wife An-nemarie, Pastor Vander-Vlis moved to Alberta from the Netherlands in 1980 where he eventu-

ally became involved with mission work. A one-year mission to Nigeria turned into 14 years of teaching, during which the couple met, marrying in 2003.

Mr. VanderVlis said that one of the lessons he learned during his time in Nigeria was the power

of an inter-community approach to issues that affect beyond man-made divisions - an approach he hopes to recreate in North Durham amongst the church communities.

“As each village strug-gled to meet needs like clean water,” recalled Pas-

tor VanderVlis, “every-one realized that if they put their resources to-gether they could sink a borehole and each group would benefit. If churches can do that, you achieve a lot more and can build a stronger community through those networks.”


New Christian Reform minister makes it offi cial

MINISTERING TO HIS FLOCK: Pastor Bernhard VanderVlis is Hope Christian Re-form Church’s new minister - the church’s fi rst permanent minister in three years.

Dressing fi ve daughters (in identical outfi ts) teaches a mom a thing or two. Like how to start a successful clothing accessories business.

Nicole Vos was in Florida six years ago with her fam-ily when she bought a cute headband in a store for one of her girls, thinking she would go home and make more to match. “Petite Chic just evolved from there,” said Nicole, who bought her second business, The Cuddly Bunny in Port Perry, in September.

Petite Chic started as a small, home-based, mail order company, but when an article on Nicole appeared in the holiday issue of Chatelaine Magazine in 2009, it went viral.

“We went from small business to big business overnight,” said Nicole, a former marketing representative for White

Rose who was home on maternity leave with baby number three. “I didn’t have any staff. I called in the troops - fam-ily, friends, neighbours - to start shipping orders across Canada. It was a crazy, crazy Christmas.”

Today, Nicole has seven staff at 180 Queen St. and she ships product worldwide, but other than the size of her customer base - her newest retailer is in Scotland - the fo-cus of the business remains the same.

“Petite Chic sells high-end, custom accessories for little girls. We follow the trends closely and keep an eye out for the newest baby fashions and colours for kids.”

And that’s what makes the store both unique and ap-pealing to a global market. “We make everything in house,” explains Nicole, and that approach has gained Petite Chic plenty of media attention.

“We’ve been on television four times this year, including three episodes of Breakfast Television, and we auditioned for The Dragon’s Den in April, (the episode has not yet aired). We’ve also been in four magazines in less than two years: Chatelaine, Canadian Living, Today’s Parent and Parents Canada. And media attention means business. Lots and lots of business.

Although her marketing acumen is key to Nicole’s suc-cess, it helps to have great products - and great ideas.

“We carry the full line of Petite Chic in-store at The Cud-dly Bunny, said Nicole, who moved her business from Ux-bridge to Scugog next to the post offi ce to simplify ship-ping. “Most of our work is custom ordered,” says Nicole. “If someone wants an accessory to match an outfi t, they send us a picture and we make it, from headbands and hair clips, to over-the-top hats, crocheted beanies and fascina-tors, to bloomers and pettiskirts, to T-shirts.” And many of the items are decorated with Swarovski crystals. “The stu-dio is right in the shop,” says Nicole, “and while the major-ity of our business comes through social media (Facebook and Twitter), we can hand make whatever you want in the store - often while you wait - in a wide selection of fabrics in every colour under the sun.”

Nicole still carries all the favourite Cuddly Bunny lines - like Petite Chic (www.petitechic.ca) clothes for babies and children and Pipsqueak toys for bigger kids - but there are some terrifi c new additions at the store as well.

The Cuddly Bunny (www.cuddlybunny.com) is now the place to go for helium balloons for any occasion, and storks for the front lawn when the baby arrives! “We also have a baby registry for expectant and new moms (anyone who reg-isters gets a $10 off coupon), and a loot bag studio, where you can build your own goody bags - choosing from hun-dreds of items and starting at as little as a few dollars a bag.”

The Cuddly Bunny also carries a wide range of Melissa and Doug newborn items and classic educational toys and games for kids, and 12 feet of Bearington Bear products. There is also free gift wrapping, which is especially handy if you’re heading straight from the store to the hospital ma-ternity ward or to a birthday party.

You’ve likely seen Nicole around Uxbridge and Port Perry in her zebra-print van, and her new life-size Cuddly Bunny mascots are becoming a fi xture around town at spe-cial events. “They’re so big and cuddly, the kids just love them,” says Nicole. “The bunnies were at the Chili Cook-off in Port Perry recently and the kids were all over them. The bunnies have the chili stains to prove it!”

HEATHER McCRAE The Standard

Frank Stenger of Enniskillen has been involved with the Jersey cattle most of his life.

He’s been considered a ‘Jersey’ pioneer, ambassador and visionary leader, and he is the recipient of the Master Breeder Award. This Sunday, Nov. 6, he will get another handle when he is installed in the Cana-dian Agricultural Hall of Fame at a lavish black-tie dinner and reception at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

Frank’s life story is an extraordinary one. Born in Berlin, he grew up in Egg-ersdorf and immigrated with his family to Canada, settling in Enniskillen in 1939. The family farm was the beginning of En-niskillen Jerseys by R. Stenger and Son.

“Three old Jerseys came with the farm,” said Frank, and it was through his involve-ment with 4-H that he became involved with the gentle dairy breed.

“My parents, Rudolf and Erma, always told us kids to work with something we liked,” said Frank. “I liked the Jerseys.”

During his teen years, he excelled in 4-H. Frank credits Ed Summers, the lo-cal agriculture representative from Dur-ham County who trained many 4-H’ers in judging, for “putting the bug in me to start judging.”

Throughout his life and now, as a retired breeder, Frank has judged at major shows in Costa Rica, the U.S., Denmark, England and Brazil, just to mention a few. He’s also the breeder of the world-famous Enniskil-len Jersey herd that is been the origin of

the highest quality seed and foundation stock for domestic and foreign buyers for over 50 years.

It was Frank’s neighbour and fellow Jer-sey breeder, Tim Sargent, who nominated Frank as a worthy recipient of a Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame honour.

In his letter of support, Russell Gam-mon, Executive Secretary of Jersey Canada, endorsed Tim’s nomination.

“Frank has contacts all over and has sold cattle throughout the world,” said Tim, a director for Central Ontario with Jersey Canada. “He began exporting in the seventies and is the reason Jersey cattle are now everywhere throughout the world.

“Frank has been the most loyal Jersey breeder,” Tim continued, “and is every-one’s friend in the Jersey world. He has spent his entire life promoting the breed, locally and globally.”

For more than 30 years, Frank volun-teered to represent Canada at world Jersey Cattle Bureau meetings in over a dozen countries. Often, his wife Ruth would ac-company him.

“In the early days, Jerseys were laughed at,” recalls Frank. “There was a lot of ani-mosity but now that’s changed.” With Jer-sey cattle found on practically every conti-nent, “the shoe’s on the other foot!”

Every year, a lot of Jerseys from Enni-skillen compete in the 4-H dairy show at the Blackstock Fair. And relatives of that same stock compete worldwide.

Frank won the Master Breeder Award in 1976 and in 1994 he was given Jersey Can-ada’s Distinguished Service Award. He be-came an honorary life member in 2006.

“I’m thankful for this new honour that I will be receiving - but I feel very humble at the same time,” said Frank.

Joining him at the ceremony will be Tim Sargent and his wife, Sharyn, and three of the Stenger children: Bruce, Mel-yssa and Benjamin. Following in their fa-ther’s footsteps, the other two kids, Ste-phynie and Daniel, will miss the black tie event to show their Enniskillen Jerseys at the Royal.

One of Frank’s sisters, a resident of Salt

Spring Island, British Columbia, will make the trek east for the event, and a niece and her family are coming from up from New York. It will be a night to remember for the Stenger family.

Frank wrote and published a book on his life in 2009. The opus chronicles the trials and triumphs of his immigrant fam-ily as they worked together to establish a life and a farming business in their new homeland. Frank Stenger is truly a living legend in the history of the Jersey breed.


Frank may well be the original ‘Jersey Boy’

San Pail chalks up another win at Breeder’s CrownHEATHER McCRAE The Scugog Standard

He came. He saw. He conquered.San Pail, the revered trotter co-owned by trainer Rod

Hughes of Dunsford and Glenn Van Camp of Port Perry showed the racing world he truly is the best, winning the $602,340 Breeders Crown Open Trot Final at Woodbine on Saturday, Oct. 29, in a time of 1:51.4.

San Pail won by a neck against his closest rivals, Rapide Lebel and Commander Crowe, two European horses that were fl own over solely to race in the Breeders Crown - and compete against the harness racing sensation.

Following the race, a jubilant Glenn Van Camp said his horse did what he’s supposed to do.

“He got out into the front and defi ed them to catch him,” he laughed, shooting the horse a dazzling smile. “As always, (driver) Randy (Waples) did a magnifi cent job. But, really it’s San Pail that does most of the work. He’s a true athlete.”

The win on Saturday night pushed San Pail’s lifetime earnings to a colossal $2,977,885. This year alone, the three-time Maple Leaf Trot champion has racked up 14 wins and two seconds in just 16 starts.

“It’s been an exciting night in harness racing,” said Bar-ry Hewson, former Director of Racing for the Woodbine Group on Saturday following San Pail’s colossal victory. “There’s a good chance San Pail will be Horse of the Year for Canada and the U.S. He’s a true North American sen-sation.”

Bobby (who didn’t want his last name published) - a regular at the track for more than 50 years - said he’s nev-er seen a greater competitor in his life.

“There’s not a better trotter in the world,” he gushed. “Guaranteed, he’ll be Horse of the Year.”

It doesn’t matter where this horse races - or who he races against - there is a large and adoring crowd out to

support him, and Saturday night’s race was no exception. San Pail’s faithful followers were out in droves to cheer their trotting hero to a superb win.

Many of those fans won San Pail memorabilia: T-shirts,

buttons and hats. From the regalia to the screaming, there was no doubt where San Pail’s admirers were in the stands. And once again, their wonder horse gave them something to cheer about.

An excited group crowded around San Pail, winner of the Breeder’s Crown Open Trot Final at Wood-bine on Saturday (Oct. 29) night. Among the happy throng were (left to right) driver Randy Waples, trainer/owner Rod Hughes, San Pail’s handler Jerry Hughes and Tom Charters, President and CEO of The Hambletonian Society, Inc.

DARRYL KNIGHT The Scugog Standard

After a whirlwind stretch in the COJHL schedule that saw the team play fi ve games in just 10 days, the Port Perry MoJacks had just a single game this weekend, a Sunday (Oct. 30) night encounter with the Little Britain Merchants at Scugog Arena.

Both teams came into the game rid-ing hot streaks. The MoJacks had posted victories in six of their past seven games, with a 3-1 loss in Little Britain on Satur-day, Oct. 22, the only blemish.

The Merchants, meanwhile, had lost only one game in regulation - 7-1 in Port Perry on Sunday, Sept. 25 - over the fi rst 10 games of the season.

It was little surprise that the open-

ing period of Sunday’s match was hotly contested, with both sides jostling as they looked for the opening goal of the game. Each side was buoyed by strong defence and goal tending in the opening stanza, however, and, after 20 minutes of play, neither team had managed to put a number on the scoreboard.

The Merchants capitalized on some un-timely MoJacks penalties to start the sec-ond period, and TJ Doran and Jesse Mal-lette both netted power play goals in the fi rst three minutes of the frame.

The MoJacks responded with a pair of their own markers.

On the fi rst goal, Logan Evans’ shot trickled over the goal line with Matt Paul and Bentley McCormack drawing as-sists. The second goal came from Nick

Chisholm in the slot. His shot squeaked through Merchant goalie Neil Pittock’s pads and knotted the game 2-2.

The tie was short-lived, however, as the Merchants roared back and Tyler Trafford netted a goal with just over seven minutes to play to restore Little Britain’s one-goal lead. And Little Britain wasn’t done there.

With a minute left on the clock, Doran netted his second power play marker of the match to lift the Merchants to a 4-2 lead after 40 minutes of play.

Little Britain continued its offensive explosion in the third period, scoring two goals in the fi rst fi ve minutes of the frame. Paul Hennessey and Kurtis Moore both beat MoJacks goalie Drew Siydock to give the visitors a commanding 6-2 lead.

Chisholm’s second goal of the night,

assisted by Corey Durward and Evans with just under 13 minutes to play, cut the Merchants’ lead to 6-3, but that was as close as the MoJacks got and the Mer-chants were able to avenge their only regulation loss of the season.

Loose pucks...- MoJacks fans can enjoy a pair of games

this weekend. First, the team will make the trek down Reach St. on Friday (Nov. 4) night for a match-up with the arch rival Bruins in Uxbridge at 7:45 p.m. Then, on Sunday (Nov. 5) night, the MoJacks enter-tain the Lakefi eld Chiefs at Scugog Arena beginning at 7 p.m. The MoJacks will honour Canada’s veterans prior to the game with a special ceremony featuring the Port Perry Legion Branch 419 Pipes and Drums and Colour Guard.

LessonsThe difference between going to school and life is

that, in school, you learn the lesson fi rst and then take the test. In life, you take the test fi rst and then (hope-fully) learn the lesson.

Most lessons learned in school are conducted in an artifi cially controlled environment, are generally of short duration (eight to 12 weeks) and usually involve a preselected homogenous population of subjects, commonly called students.

A set-up like that is great for developing ‘theories’ that unfortunately will, in most cases, only apply in similar ivory tower scenarios.

Welcome to the trenches, where subjects might range in age from 16 to 60 plus years. Some of these subjects might be obese while others are skinny as a rail. The subjects’ previous activity level could range from athlete to couch potato.

Welcome to the real world, where most of the lessons learned in school have a very poor rate of success.

A basketball coach once claimed that everything he had learned was from making mistakes - and that’s why he was so smart.

Here are some lessons learned from taking the test fi rst.

1. Fat loss. This is simple. Eliminate or drastically cut back on ‘white stuff.’

This includes white sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, rice, all grains and grain products (pastas and bread products) and white potatoes.

Replace the ‘white stuff ’ with green, red and yellow stuff. These are commonly called vegetables.

2. Don’t drink calories. If it’s liquid and has calo-ries, it’s probably getting stored as fat and overwork-ing your pancreas.

Replace with water.3. Breakfast. A breakfast with about 30 grams of

protein will keep you going until lunch and help to control insulin.

4. Shoulders and hips. Most people have dysfunc-tional shoulders and hips and don’t know it.

If the shoulders and hips have limited range of mo-tion, trying to make them stronger is futile and set-ting you up for an injury. Mobility exercises are easy - they just seem boring and not very sexy.

5. Speed. It doesn’t matter what your sport is ... fi rst you get stronger, then you get faster.

It’s all about producing more force against the ground, the water or the object you’re trying to move. There is no other way.

6. First comes speed, then endurance. Endurance is the last human quality developed.

Tom Thekan is a strength and conditioning coach.Never begin any exercise program without consulting

your doctor.

Don Beaton’s Gus Brown team extended their win-ning ways in a tough test offered by Carol Jackson’s Lake Scugog Lumber. Jack-son was determined to put one in the winning column but Beaton’s count of four in the opening end tilted the game. It got worse for Jackson as the Beaton side scored single steals in the next three ends to make it 7-0 after four. Scugog Lumber scored singles in the next two ends but six ends was all she wrote. Gus Brown is 3 and 0.

Port Perry Sign Shop and Allen’s Siding fought a close one with Kevin Rob-erts taking two in the fi rst end for Allen’s and steal-ing a single in the second. But Peter Warren, skipping Bob Leach, Glenn Evans and Doug Rowe, answered with three in the third end to tie the game. Allen’s sid-ing, unfazed by the quick reply, came right back with four points in the fourth to leap ahead 7-3. Warren and his Sign Shop team clawed back to tie it at seven but, with one end left, Allen’s siding made a last rock draw for the single that won the game 8-7.

Skips Kelly Evans and Ralph Fairman met in an-other family contest. This time, Kelly’s dad scored two in the fourth end to go ahead 4-2. That’s when daughter Kelly inspired her J. Walker Carpentry team to take three points followed by a stolen sin-gle in the sixth end. They exchanged singles in the last two ends with Kelly’s J. Walker Carpentry hang-ing on to win 7-5. Fair-man’s Pineridge Impress suffered their first loss of the new Super League season. Both teams are now 2 and 1.

Sue McKnight, now sponsored by Lindsay KIA Motors, showcased her

team’s skills by scoring two in the fi rst end and then stealing singles in each of the next three ends. McKnight led True North Eavestroughing 5-0. True North revived enough to score two in the fi fth end but McKnight’s Lindsay KIA (Karen Roswell, Cindy and Jennifer McKnight) scored singles in the next two ends to win 7-2 and improve to 2 and 1.

Mark Bramley led his team to a fi rst-end single in a game against Kennedy Renovations, but the mo-mentum swung dramati-cally to the Renovations side with six scored in the second end and steals in the next three ends to lead 10-1. In the sixth end, Bramley came back to score two but that was the end of the story. Bill Kennedy took the 10-3 victory.

In other Super League play, Last Rock - minus skip Rob Steele - fell to the relentless HUB Interna-tional machine driven by Brian Van Camp. Ladies Bonspiels Combine

Atom Blades score two weekend wins The North Durham Blades atoms took to

the ice on Friday in Uxbridge and Saturday in Port Perry, skating to back-to-back victories.

Stopper Grace Dempsey was huge between the pipes and both games featured solid ef-fort from all members of the team.

The fi rst game was a big win for the Blades, who had just come off a 4-1 loss to Cobourg last week. The girls wasted no time in this one against Lindsay, scoring two goals in the fi rst.

Reanne LaRoche got the Blades on the board, with assists to Zoe Paulin and Char-lotte McBain. At the 2:52 mark, Georgia Swit-zer took one in on a wrap-around from Talia Schofield, who earned the assist.

The Blades dominated the second period as well, scoring three more markers - one from Zoe Paulin and two from Kiara Megaffin - to take a 5-0 lead into the third.

Visiting Lindsay managed to put one away in the fi nal frame to steal the shut out from Dempsey, but the Blades got that one back a few minutes later on a turn over for the 6-1 win.

In the second game, the Blades took on a visiting Kingston team at the Scugog Arena. This was a much tougher battle, with both stoppers - Kingston’s Alysia Moger and Dempsey for the Blades - were solid in net.

The first period was scoreless, but the sec-ond belonged to the Blades. The North Dur-ham girls turned on the light three times in the frame. Zoe Paulin scored a the 8:31 mark, on a set-up by Reanne LaRoche and Madison Ramirez. Georgia Switzer scored at the 6:34

mark to put the Blades up by two on a dandy shot to the right corner, with the assist to Talia Schofield. Kiara Megaffin rounded out the scoring at the 2:16 mark on a set-up by Lynsey Roulston and Ella Weitzman.

The third period was an end-to-end battle, with both teams hungry for the puck. The Blades managed to keep Kings-ton off the scoreboard, however, with Dempsey earning the 3-0 shut out win.

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!: The battle of the lairds hit the ice on Saturday (Oct. 29) at Scugog Arena as Veronica Laird (left) from Kingston squared off against her cousin Madeline Laird of the Blades in exciting Atom action.

The Port Perry Preda-tors Bantam ‘AE’s took to the ice recently and held court with visiting Lindsay at the Scugog Arena. The Predators put forth a solid perfor-mance for three periods that earned them a con-vincing 4-0 win.

The fi rst period action was quick, with both clubs having a num-ber of scoring chances. The defence was solid at both ends of the ice as well, and it showed, with double zeros on the scoreboard when the buzzer sounded to end the opening frame.

The Predators took control of the game in the second period, apply-ing pressure that paid off with three goals crossing the line. Tyler Pasnick scored 41 seconds into the period with assists to Sam Burnett and Baedon Johnston. Taking ad-vantage of a power play, Sam Burnett scored at the 10:37 mark, assisted by Mitch Freeburn. Fi-nally, with 45 seconds remaining in the frame, Port tucked another in for that all-important third goal. This time, Jonas Danko picked up the rebound shot and pushed it across the goal line with the assist to Cody Roberge.

Comfortably ahead by three, the fi nal frame was all Port Perry, thanks in large part to solid goal-tending by Clayton Rob-inson. The Predators maintained their attack on Lindsay and man-aged to score one last goal, this one by Cody Strachan scored, assisted by Braedon Johnston, to give the local club a hard skating 4-0 win.

Stroke affects ‘one in six’ worldwideThe theme of this year’s World Stroke Day (Oct. 29) was

‘One in Six.’ One in six people will have a stroke at some point in their lifetime; and stroke causes one death every six seconds. These statistics, according to the World Stroke Organization (WSO), refer to everyday people leading ev-eryday lives. But around 85% per cent of them have risk factors which, if identifi ed, are preventable.

There are now more than one million strokes per year in Europe, and stroke, along with heart disease, cancers diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases, is a non-com-municable disease that increases with cigarette smoking, an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and excessive alco-hol. Global predictions indicate that the incidence of fatal stroke (along with heart disease and cancers) will continue to rise, from around six million per year in 2010 to almost eight million per year by 2030.

The European Society of Cardiology emphasizes that most of these same risks for stroke are also the major risks for coronary heart disease. Moreover, atrial fi brillation, the most common disorder of heart rhythm, has also been clearly associated with an increased risk of stroke.

“Stroke is not an inevitable consequence of ageing,” said Professor Freek Verheugt, from the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis in Amsterdam, “so by identifying and modifying risk factors there are opportunities to reduce the incidence and mortality rate of this devastating condition.”

According to the WSO, there are six steps anyone can take to reduce their risk of stroke:

-Know your personal risk factors (high blood pressure, diabetes, and high blood cholesterol).

-Be physically active and exercise regularly. -Avoid obesity by keeping to a healthy diet. -Limit your alcohol consumption. -Avoid cigarette smoke. If you smoke, seek help to stop. -Learn to recognise the

warning signs of a stroke. The WSO also emphasises the importance of time if any

of the warning signs are apparent: a sudden numbness, es-pecially at one side of the body; sudden trouble speaking or seeing; loss of balance or sudden vertigo; and a sudden severe headache with no apparent cause. Any of these signs are a cause for alarm, said Professor Verheugt, because stroke is a medical emergency and any minutes saved now can make a big difference to survival.

“Time lost is brain function lost,” according to the WSO. It is also now clear that stroke survivors do better if they are admitted to dedicated stroke units staffed by multidisci-plinary teams. Hospital care, medication, vascular surgery and rehabilitation are the cornerstones of treatment.

Stroke (which is also known as cerebrovascular disease) occurs when a blood vessel carrying oxygen to the brain is either blocked by a clot (ischaemic stroke) or bursts (haem-orrhagic stroke). Without oxygen and nutrients, brain cells begin to die. The extent and location of this damage deter-mines the severity of the stroke. In 1976, the World health Organization defi ned stroke as “a neurological defi cit of cerebrovascular cause that persists beyond 24 hours or is interrupted by death within 24 hours.”

An Interstroke study, which was reported in 2010 follow-ing an analysis of stroke data from 22 countries, indicates that 10 risk factors are associated with 90 per cent of the risk of stroke. The highest attributable effect of individual risk factors was 35 per cent from hypertension, 26.5 per cent for waist-to-hip ratio and 19 per cent for current smoking.

Moreover, a study of activity in the reduction of stroke risk in almost 50,000 people in Finland (and followed up for almost 20 years) found that ‘high physical activity’ was asso-ciated with a lower risk of stroke than low physical activity.

As defi ned in the European Heart Health Charter, the ESC’s declared targets for cardiovascular health throughout the European Union are :

-zero smoking; -three km daily walking; -fi ve portions of fruit and

vegetables per day; -<140/90 mmHg blood

pressure;- <5 mmol/l total choles-

terol; -<3 mmol/l LDL-choles-

terol; and -zero diabetes.

‘Then There Was More,’ opens this Saturday, Nov. 5, with a reception at the Kent Farndale Gallery from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Maureen embrac-es the unexpected, and the joy and sensuality in her art are inspired and driven by her experience and her exuberant life force. “With my art,” Maureen says, “what evolves is not always what was expected or anticipated. The surprise is my favourite part of the adventure. I love following the path where

each piece leads me.” The show is on until Dec. 1.

The Port Perry United Church Choir, one of the largest church choirs in the Region, will be sing-ing its way through 125 years of song with music from ev-ery decade in celebration of the 125th anniversary of the popular church. A delightful evening is

promised, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Church on Queen St. in Port Perry on Nov. 5. Tickets are $10.

The Scugog Shores Heritage Centre and Archives on Reach St. in Port Perry at the Scugog Are-na is hosting a new exhibit that looks at the fascinating history of Canada’s northernmost First Nations peoples. The display, featuring two exhibits on loan from the Canadian Museum of Civilization with photography by Norman Hallendy - ‘The Tunit: A Paleo-Eskimo People’ and ‘Places of Power: Objects of Veneration’ - runs Nov. 7 to Feb. 26. The cen-tre is open Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Also at the Heritage Centre this month is the opening of the long-awaited and planned permanent exhibit - ‘Scugog’s First Peoples: A Living History’ - on Nov. 8, with a Public Open House from 5 p.m.

to 8 p.m. This exhibit has been produced with generous support from Canadian Heritage, The Baagwating Community Associa-tion and the Township of Scugog. Aboriginal artists will be display-ing their artwork throughout the event, and refreshments will be served. Everyone is welcome.

‘Here on the Flight Path,’ a hilarious but touching modern Norm Foster comedy, opens Nov. 10 with a run until Nov. 19 at the Uxbridge Music Hall. John Cummings lives in an apartment under the fi nal approach to the country’s biggest airport.

This has fascinating repercus-sions as he interacts with his three female neighbours over a three and a half year period. Tickets ($20) are available now at La Petite Fleur on Brock St. W. in Uxbridge. For more information, visit www.onstageuxbridge.com.

Are you a film buff? Do you like dis-cussing film on a deeper level than the average Joe? If so, then Film Talk might be right for you. This 32-week course takes placese the Scugog Studio of Performing Arts beginning tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 4) at 8 p.m.

Local film critic John H. Foote will moderate the workshop, discussing one film a week and exploring the film’s pro-duction period, its impact on society and cinema and its lasting impression. Group

members will join in the discussion, offer-ing their opinions and feelings about the film - good, bad and indifferent.

Foote, a film critic for more than 25 years, is the author of two books: ‘Clint Eastwood: Evolution of a Filmmaker’ and the massive ‘Steven Spielberg: The Director and the Films, Volumes One and Two.’ He continues to write pro-fessionally for The Standard and the American web site www.awardscircuit.com. His writing has appeared in the Los

Angeles Times and New York Times as well as film journals and major news-papers around the globe. He currently teaches Film History and Acting Theory at Humber College in Toronto.

“People are forever connected by a film, and the experience affects us in different ways,” Foote explains. “It’s great fun to sit and listen to the comments in the group; to hear how the film worked for one per-son but not another. I love the debate; the learning experience of it all.”

Foote brings years of experience to the classroom. He has interviewed many of the actors and directors in the films that will be discussed, which allows him to bring an interesting perspective to the group.

No experience in film criticism is neces-sary, just an interest in movies and the desire to join in lively discussion.

The cost for the class is $200 (plus HST). Call the Scugog Studio of Performing Arts at 905-982-8834 to register.

‘Postcards from The Rock,’ an affectionate look at the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, by local painter Ronald Peter is on at the Scugog Arts Resource Centre from Nov. 5 to 27.

Ronald travels alone, by motorcycle, throughout North America, covering thousands of kilometers, absorbing the atmosphere and subtle nuances of captivating scen-ery and culture. The Newfoundland trip was a bit of a departure, as he circumnavigated Newfoundland aboard a converted Russian ship on a tour with guest expert and fellow Port Perry resident and artist Bill Lishman.

Working primarily in oil on canvas, Portraits from the Rock conveys Ronald’s emotional response to im-ages from his travels, and celebrates the province’s rich cultural legacy and natural beauty. His vivid colours and primal brushstrokes highlight and celebrate the beauty and spirit of traditional Newfoundland life. An opening reception will be held for Ronald Peter on Nov. 5, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., at the Scugog Arts Resource

Centre and Gallery, 181 Perry St., Unit G-1, Port Perry. Regular gallery hours are Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. or by appointment. For more information, visit www.scugogarts.ca or call 905-982-2121.
