Both the 16th annual Oakville Lifestyle Fall Home Show and the 3rd annual Oakville Healthy Living Show will be running under one roof September 8, 9 and 10. Come enjoy the Home Show - discover what's new for your home and save money on just about everything you can think of from kitchens to roofing, replacement windows to basement renovators!

On Saturday and Sunday you will also be able to enjoy free educational seminars presented by the Canadian Raptor Conservancy. Featuring live eagles, owls, falcons and other wild life native to Canada. Both shows are produced by Jenkins Show Productions - who have been producing the spring Oakville Lifestyle Home Show for the last 26 years at the Glen Abbey Community Centre. Show Manager Sharon Jenkins stated, "We are very excited about run ning two shows at the same time and we hope Oakville residents will enjoy both of them. We have been working on this twin event for well over a year now so we can't wait for it to launch. It is a great close-by opportunity to see the newest innovations for your health, and for your home." The biggest advantages of a local show is that you can shop early for all your fall needs in one place, on one weekend, in a very relaxing environment! You will be supporting local com panies who employ local citizens. They are offering some ter rific, money saving, end-of-season clearances on everything from replacement windows to organic products. Healthy Living Show exhibiting businesses and categories include: massage therapy, holistic nutrition, weight maintenance, personal training and fitness experts, metabolic care, chiroprac tors, hearing aid products, retire-at-home services, naturo paths, physiotherapists, medical acupuncture, spinal and postural screening, related charities and organizations and much more. Just some of the great items and services you can expect to save money on at the Home Show include: sunrooms, furnaces and air conditioners, Oakville Hydro, Cogeco, Costco, home secu rity, stucco experts, roofing, landscapers, upholstery and gutter replacements. You'll see kitchen renovators, bathroom remodel ing, gliding shelving, granite countertops, roofers, energy saving companies, basement finishing systems, blinds, shutters, drapery, and many "lifestyle exhibits" including chiropractors, financial and insurance advisors, and wellness consultants.. Other displays include: kitchen refacers, replacement doors, garage doors, insu lation, painters, leaky basement experts, renovators, outdoor surfac ing options, Toronto Star, Oakville Fire Department, Halton Regional Police and many more of Oakville's finest businesses. Jenkins continued, "Each company exhibiting has their own objec tive for being involved in the Home Show. Some companies are look ing for broader, local exposure, others are looking to sell off excess or end-of-season inventory, or launch a new product line. Others use the show to train staff or do market research. It is rare to be able to converse with thousands of local homeowners in such a tight, one weekend time frame. It's a very efficient and cost effective method of doing business. Interested exhibitors can contact Sharon, Matt or Dave Jenkins of Jenkins Show Productions at 905-827-4632.

Pending municipal government approvals, it is also anticipated the construction of a drugstore will begin in summer 2018, while the completion of a 14- and 10-storey residential building, with occu pancy, is expected in 18-24 months. This is according to Crombie REIT, who pur chased the mall in 2016. A subsidiary of Sobeys stores, the company owns and operates grocery- and drug store-anchored shopping centres and free standing stores across Canada. In 2012, an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB)-approved settlement was reached between the Town of Oakville and Goldmanco Inc., a Toronto-based retail development company, on the re-development of the Bronte Village Mall. Crombie REIT has now submitted a site plan ap plication to the Town, with some information on it available to view on www.oakville.ca. To provide residents with more information on its plans, the company hosted a public meeting at Bronte Village Mall Wednesday, Aug. 30. see Sobeys on p.7 Eid al-Adha Spotlight Oakville Visit us at BEING EARLY HAS ITS BENEFITS!

Late last month (Aug. 22) Dr. Rick MacDonald took to social media Tweeting "No NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) beds tonight anywhere except maybe Ottawa; my chief sends us this notice with a "Good Luck," which echoes around the province." MacDonald, who has served the community as a pediatrician for 27 years, following a residency at the Hospital For Sick Children and a neonatal intensive care unit fellowship in the Mount Sini SickKids program, said the Tweet came after he received a notice that the level three NICUs in the Province of Ontario were undergoing a significant bed shortage. "That included Mount Sinai Hospital, the Hospital For Sick Children, Sunnybrook Hospital and McMaster University Centre," said MacDonald. "All of which were either closed or restricted." The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit provides care for babies who need special attention due to complications like a preterm birth. The units also help babies born with low birth weights, breathing difficulties, low blood sugar or who are struggling with an infection. According to the Mount Sinai Hospital Dr. Rick MacDonald | Twitter photo website 1,100 babies are admitted to that hospitals Newton Glassman NICU each year. MacDonald noted while the staff at a place like Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH) can safely deliver and stabilize a premature baby or a baby with critical health issues -- they do need NICU beds at pediatric centres like the Hospital For Sick Children to send these critically-ill babies to so they can be helped by experts in the neonatal field. When no NICU beds in the area are available that is when things can get difficult for families already going through a traumatic ordeal. "When you tell parents their baby is sick, but it has been stabilized and must be sent out to a pediatric centre, that' s already scary enough. It' s worse when you have to tell them there are no beds available at the present time," said MacDonald. "On Tuesday night of last week (Aug. 22) the possibilities were that the child would have to go to Ottawa or possibly out of province." MacDonald said in the past when no local NICU beds have been available these critically ill babies have even been sent to Buffalo, New York. He said there is a real possibility this could happen again if action is not taken. Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care officials confirmed some NICUs are facing an unusual "surge," in critically-ill babies, but emphasized the situation is temporary and that they are working with the Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) and affected hospitals to take immediate action. "This is a fluctuating situation and hospitals are working closely and in coordination to manage these pressures," said Mark Nesbitt, Ministry spokesperson. "The NICU situation continues to show improvement since last week, this is consistent with the fluctuating nature of patient flow." Nesbitt says there is no single cause for the sudden increase in babies requiring highly specialized care. He pointed out that so far no babies have needed to be sent outside of the province. "The situation is stabilizing," said Nesbitt Sept. 1. "While we know there is always more work to do, investing in healthcare is a top priority of our government. That's why as part of the 2017 Budget, we are investing an additional $518 million in all public hospitals, a 3.1 per cent overall increase to the hospital sector, to improve patient access to care, reduce wait times, and improve the patient experience for all Ontarians at their local hospital." He said the Ministry is monitoring the situation and will increase NICU capacities as necessary. While MacDonald said he is optimistic the right people are now listening, he pointed out on Aug. 28 there were still issues at McMaster University Centre because its transport team, which picks up sick babies from other hospitals did not have enough nurses. He argues ultimately this is a government funding issue, which needs to be resolved to expand the capacity of the NICUs at these children' s hospitals. "They have pared down things so much and have gotten away with it in the past and have been able to send babies to other units within the metro area, but for this cycle this wasn't a possibility," said MacDonald. "There is a need for government funding, not just for beds, but for nurses. Nurses are critical to the running of a NICU. They look after the patients. We of course have to make decisions see Issue on p.18 FALL DANCE PROGRAMS A L L L E V E L S A G E S 2 S UP A S O F SEPT 11, SIGN UP IN -P E R S O N M O N D A Y -T H U R S D A Y : 5 -7 PM SATU R D AY: 10 A M -1 2 NO O N THE DANCE STATION 9 0 5 6 3 2 5 6 0 8 1 8 0 0 A P P L E B Y LINE, UNIT 6 B U R L IN G T O N WWW.THEDANCESTATION.CA w w w .insidehalton.com | O A K V IL L E B E A V E R | Thursday, S e p te m b e r 7, 2 0 1 7 |6 Spotlight "Connected to your Community" Celebrating Eid al-Adha About 1,500 members of the Muslim community gathered at Coronation Park Sept. 1 to celebrate Eid al-Adha, Islam's most revered observance.

Many people were pleased to hear Sobeys would remain open throughout the redevelopment," said Robert Blacklock, senior director of development for Crombie REIT, in an email to the Oakville Beaver Friday, Sept. 1. "This is not a re-zoning application. We are just applying for SPA (site plan application) and Town staff are responsible for making sure our development is appropriate.

The SPA calls for the construction of a 14-sto rey residential building fronting Bronte Road and a 10-storey residential building situated in the interior of the property -- both to be terraced to wards Sovereign Street. The buildings will offer a combined total of 480 luxury rental units, just under the zoning maximum allotment of 570 units.

The written request must be received by the Minister within the thirty (30) calendar day review period. The request must be copied to the Director, Environmental Approvals Branch listed below and the Project Team. The Town of Oakville has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to address the problem of localized erosion and creek instability along Taplow Creek (adjacent to Manchester Crescent, Edgehill Place, Runnymead Crescent and Mayfair Road). The study characterized the existing site conditions, determined the causes of erosion, and developed alternative solutions for stabilization and rehabilitation of the creek channel and banks. The study was conducted in compliance with a Schedule "B" project as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (Oct. 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, and 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act . The selected preferred alternative to address erosion concerns within the study area is to locally realign Taplow Creek away from the toe of valley slope and provide additional ecological benefit through wetland creation. The Project File has been prepared to document the planning and decision-making process for this study. By this Notice, the Project File is being placed on the public record for a thirty (30) day review period from and including September 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 at the following locations and through the following website at http://www.oakville.ca/ environment/taplow-creek-erosion-protection.html: 9 | T h u rsd a y S e p te m b e r 7, 2 0 1 7 | O A K V IL L E B E A V E R | w w w .insidehalton.com F irs t W o rld W a r a irc ra ft to fly o ver O a k v ille G o lf C lu b F rid ay For 4 7 years Oakville Golf Club has been honouring its members who have served the cause of freedom in the armed services with the Tin Hat Memorial Golf Tournament and Mess Dinner.

Parkinson' s affects more than 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 Canadians, a number expected to increase substantially in the coming years, with 25 Canadians diagnosed each day. Parkinson SuperWalk raises funds and awareness on behalf of all Canadians living with Parkinson's. Walks are held in com munities throughout Canada. The Oakville walk will be at Oakville Place Mall. "Events like Parkinson SuperWalk enable us to deliver m uch needed services within the community and fund research into im proved treatments and a cure," says Amanda Stanton, Manager of Events and Partner ships, in a press release. SuperWalk is also a vehicle for community members to come together and raise aware ness for Parkinson's. Meyer will be attending his second Super W alk this September. He will be walking in mem ory of his father, who was diagnosed with Parkinson' s 30 years ago. "SuperWalk is a great cause. My father suf fered from Parkinson' s disease and it made me realize the importance of giving out to BEAVER i . 2d H U B H £ h how to help others." The Meyer family also volunteered this past April to sell tulips for Parkinson's Awareness Month. Along with his willing ness to help people with Parkinson' s , Meyer expresses hope and a positive outlook. "Stay positive and be involved. Medical advancements have taken place and will continue to take place. Hopefully with con tinued fundraising and medical advance ments, we can overcome this," says Meyer. Support available For people recently diagnosed with Par kinson' s and their families, it can be very dif ficult to cope. Meyer said that when he was younger his dad kept his diagnosis from him and his sib lings. He didn't learn about his dad' s diagno sis until years after. "We noticed things were different, and always wondered about it," adds Meyer. "W hen he finally told us, it was a huge sur prise. We weren't aware of Parkinson' s , we didn't know what it m eant". Meyer encourages others to get the sup port they need. Community and support services are available for people with Parkin son' s and their families. Proceeds from Su perWalk fund these much-needed services, as well as research for a cure.

"Nobody can believe we got him from the shelter," says Susan. Before Oliver, the couple owned another dog for more than 16 years. When their dog passed away, they said the house just felt empty. They turned to OMHS to adopt another dog -- and are very happy with the outcome. The adoption process usually takes about two-and-a-half weeks, and involves a survey to ensure the adoption is successful, said Znidarec. Through the adoption process, Znidarec says OMHS helps people find the perfect pet, one that fulfills their expectations, and suits their lifestyle. "We want them (the animals) to find their forever home," says Znidarec. "There are lots of dogs and cats at the shelter waiting for adoption." The shelter cares for many breeds of dogs, including puppies, adds Znidarec. Oliver has been living with Susan and Gord for about three months. "We're happy with him," says Susan. "It' s worth the wait." Although Oliver is a high-energy dog, he is going to obedience class and is adjusting to his new family. "He listens a little bit more every day" adds Gord. Audra August and her 11-year-old son Carter also had a positive experience adopting a family pet at OMHS. The family had been thinking about adopting a dog for about a year, says August, adding that Carter was asking for a dog, too. August was looking at the animals for adoption on the OMHS website and saw Chico, a 10-yearold teddy bear Shih Tzu mix that was looking for a forever home. Unknown to August, Carter was visiting Chico at the shelter, making donations to OMHS with his allowance. "He was my favourite dog there," adds Carter. "It was so meant to be," says August. "Chico has been such an amazing dog." Like Oliver, Chico' s original owner passed away. Chico was adopted by another family but went missing in Algonquin Park. An Oakville family that was camping in Algonquin Park, at the time, saw Chico wandering alone and decided to bring the dog home and to OMHS. Although Chico is older, August says he came with a lot of training and has been a good fit with their family. Chico does have mild arthritis, something August says they are aware of and are monitoring. "We just adore him," she says. "He' s settled right in." "There are so many dogs that need a home," says August. "The humane society has been phenomenal." The Mutt Strutt and Fall Fair goes from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event features a family-style two-kilometre pledged walk for the animals, children' s activities, vendors' market and dog agility demonstration. This event will be held rain or shine. For more information, visit www. omhs.ca. If you find a cheaper price, simply show us and we will match. CAULIFLOWER product of Canada.

Get ready for back to school by updating immunization records As a parent, you want to keep your children safe and healthy. With school starting soon, you can protect their health by making sure their immunizations are up-to-date and reporting them to the Health Department. Ontario's Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) requires that public health departments track students' immunization records or exemptions. Since immunization reporting is important for our children's health and required for them to attend school, Halton has made it easier than ever to report. You can report immunizations online at halton.ca/immunize , in person or by calling 311. You can even take a picture of your immunization record and submit it to us online! If you are unsure of which immunizations the Health Department has on file, you can fill out an online immunization records request form to receive a copy of the immunization records we have on file. If your child is unable to get immunized or if you choose not to, you must have a notarized exemption on file with the Health Department in order to meet school attendance requirements. For all your immunization needs, visit halton.ca/immunize or call 311. K e e p in g c h ild re n safe a n d h e a lth y CO H hvH O L U N A F E S T CM h -~ .Q CD E S.

They are with them all the time and if they don't have enough nurses to staff the units then the units will close or the transfer team will close down, like what happened on Monday." MacDonald noted while the Province is attributing a "surge" in critically-ill babies, the NICU bed shortage has really been happening on a smaller scale for years. "I dealt with this as a fellow back in 1990," he said. "It is only getting worse with the government cutbacks." MacDonald emphasized OTMH is not experiencing the same problems as the children' s hospitals. He said Aug. 28 the Oakville eight-bed NICU was looking after 10 patients, however, all were safely taken care of because of the number of nurses present. "Our hospital is doing what it needs to do and it is doing it extremely well," said MacDonald. He noted he was surprised by the attention his Tweets received and the support they have garnered. He attributes the reaction to the reality that NICU bed shortages is not a local issue, but a national one with similar problems recently reported in the Maritimes, Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia.

Unfortunately, fee-inflation for these high-tuition programs is increasing the fastest, leaving stu dents with a far greater debt load. No young adult with the motivation to con tinue their schooling should be blocked from achieving their goal because of financial con cerns. However, funding a post-secondary education is an issue for many. An easy response would be to have students' parents pick up the costs. This is not always fea sible and currently parents' contribution only amount to 25 per cent of the cost of a post-sec ondary education. Educational funding comes from other sources including: 31 per cent from student jobs, 20 per cent from government loans, and 14 per cent from scholarships, grants, and bursaries. Registered Educational Savings Plans (RESPs) were put in place to encourage parents to save for their children' s post-secondary education. A gov ernment grant and tax incentive were meant to be the motivation. Unfortunately, many families do not contribute to a RESP. Co-op programs have become popular; where students have a certain number of work terms in cluded in their academic program. Apart from being financially helpful, they of fer an excellent combination of schooling and practical work experience which, in my opinion, greatly enhances the learning experience. Career guidance should be offered in high school starting in Grade 9. Graduating with a wonderful degree that has no practical use should be explained, and understood, before stu dents leave high school. Politicians would be encouraged to have a con versation with Canadians about the role the gov ernment should play in financing post-secondary education. It is socially responsible as well as fis cally shrewd. Other countries have realized this. There are a number of European Union (EU) countries that offer free college to their residents, including Ger many, France, and Sweden. In the U.S. tuition-free colleges are gaining ground in many states that believe college edu cated students create a strong workforce. In Canada, a strategy to invest in four more years of free education could see the govern ment collecting added tax revenues for decades to come from a more educated workforce with higher incomes. This is a winning strategy. Education is a cornerstone of our society and one of the principal foundations of economic success. An increased investment in education will help us all. -- submitted by Peter Watson, of Peter Watson Investments.

If so, you'll be pleased to learn that it's actually a healthy habit that may help improve concentration and lead to better grades. However, this doesn't mean you should listen to whatever you want, whenever you want. Most sp ecialists recommend listening to soothing instrumental m usic for increased learning. C la ssi cal m usic is particularly effective at creating a study environment for ta sk s that involve logic, planning and critical thinking; Mozart's famed piano concertos and Beethoven's Fur Elise, for instance, are excellent choic e s for revising mathematical equations. The sam e goes for the baroque sounds of Vivaldi or Pachelbel, which are also known to help students achieve the mindset needed for scientific thought. In contrast, when it's time to express your artistic side, jazz and rock m usic might help get your creative ju ices flowing. For those who are studying literature, a new language or social sciences, pop m usic works like a charm. Finally, if you're feeling unmotivated or have a short attention span, take a quick break every once in a while and gather your thoughts to a disco, reggae or country rhythm. Som e studies suggest that listening to m usic stimu lates alpha brain waves, which may be beneficial for relaxation, learning and memory. Nevertheless, keep in mind that m usic is a subjective art whose effects aren't universal. For som e people, studying in complete silence is the best (or only) way to achieve optimal pro ductivity.

Nevertheless, you shouldn't downplay the situation. Instead, try to understand why your chil dren harbour negative feelings towards their teacher. Encourage them to share their con cerns without controlling the conversation or putting words in their mouth. No matter what they share, don't assign blame. Stay open-minded, but remain adamant; they need to understand that you genuinely care, but you do not tolerate disobedience in the classroom. Listening helps, but stay attentive to changes in behaviour. Declining grades, re fusing to go to school and sporadic chang es in attitude are all indicators that the situ ation could potentially be getting worse. If you witness any of these signs, don't hesi tate to approach the teacher.

She gave birth to Rahil blind and never saw what her baby looked like. Rahil's father married his wife's sister. His older brother and sister knew what hap pened to their mother, but Rahil was too young to understand. Rahil dreamed of becoming a doctor or dentist, but as a Palestinian he lost eight per cent of his grade point average. Instead he enrolled in the Faculty of Commerce. "I hated it." He later transferred to the School of Den tistry. In the meantime, his friends were continu ing their education overseas. Some went to Germany, others to England or the United States. Rahil applied to the Canadian Embassy, al though his family were against him. A plane ticket to Canada from Cairo cost a fortune. "I felt like a dog that could bark but not bite," Rahil says. The application to immigrate to Canada was accepted, and he arrived in Canada in 1964 at the age of 21 with only $45 in his pocket. He settled in Montreal, where he had a friend. In the years that followed, Rahil held down a string of jobs hrst as shipping boy. At hrst he was excited because he thought it meant working on The Love Boat. He was disap pointed to learn it meant shipping boxes. He was then an accounting clerk. From 196 5 -6 8 he worked for a number of large and prosperous companies -- Ameri can Express, British Petroleum and Robin Hood Flower Mills. Became homesick Life was tough between 1964-68. Rahil missed his family and was homesick. But he knew that he couldn't return home and ad mit defeat. Then in 1968, Rahil accepted a teaching job in Chibougamau, an isolated mining town in Quebec, 8 0 0 kilometres north of Montreal. Rahil taught for four years. see Family on p.30 Newbook describes journey fromrefugee to thriving professional by Marta Marychuk Oakville Beaver Staff My Villa d e p icts how O akville's A nto in e Rahil b u ilt a life fo r h im se lf in C anada. | photo submitted An Oakville man has written a memoir of his journey as an exile from Jerusalem and his turbulent path in becoming a prosperous professional in My Villa. "It was excellent therapy," said Antoine Rahil, 73, who wrote the book for his two daughters and grandchildren. Rahil, who holds a master's degree in psy chology, says he felt a sense of relief, sharing and telling. In retrospect, Rahil said he wishes he had asked more questions about his own fam ily to learn additional information about his heritage. Youngest of three children My Villa depicts how he built a life for himself in Canada -- through determina tion, tenacity and faith. "The more I wrote, the more I was in touch with my feelings and the signihcant others in my life -- the living and the dead," he says. Born in Jerusalem in 1943, Rahil was the youngest of three children who lived with his parents in an apartment on Mammilla Street outside the holy Wailing Wall. The area was the centre of an attack by Zi onist groups and Rahil remembers the bomb ing creeping closer and closer every night to his home. "W e were in danger," says Rahil, who was only four years old at the time. Rahil's father, who was a building inspector for the municipality of Jerusalem, decided to take his family on vacation for 10 days -- and away from the hghting. "Destiny had another vi cious and cruel plan for my family," he says in the book. The family travelled to Cai ro, Egypt to visit an aunt with only two suitcases of clothes. "I remember the suitcases -- one red and one black." After 10 days, the family received word from the Red Cross that it was not safe to re Now I was a citizen of one of the best, richest and clean est countries in the world: peaceful Canada. turn to Jerusalem. Ten days turned into 16 years. They had arrived in Cairo as tourists and were never registered as refugees. "W e were stateless," Rahil says. The family was never allowed to go back, not even to pick up personal belongings. After living with his aunt for a year, Rahil's family moved into a small one-room apartment. Rahil studied at a pri vate Roman Catholic school, run by an order of French nuns. "W e were very poor," adds Rahil. Donations and chari ties were part of his life. During this time, Rahil also made a star tling discovery -- his biological mother died from a brain tum our that made her blind and Antoine Rahil filmca 905-338-6397 www.film.ca IT (18A) Septem ber h o m e a g a in cinemas 171 Speers Road (at Kerr) Oakville facebook.com/filmca @FilmCaCinemas (p g ) 8 th 8 th Septem ber KINGSMAN: THE G o LDEN c ir c l e (STC) S e p t e m b e r 2 2 nd leg o NINJAG o m o v ie (STC) AMERICAN MADE (STC) S E P T E M B E R 29 th Septem ber 2 2 nd | Thursday, S e p te m b e r 7, 2 0 1 7 |30 Family moved a lot, had 13 different addresses before Oakville continued from p. 29 Finally in 1970, he applied to become a Canadian citizen, after living in Canada for five years. "I was no longer a stateless person," he says. "I was somebody. Now I was a citizen of one of the best, richest and cleanest coun tries in the world: peaceful Canada." Missing life in Montreal, Rahil quit his job in Chibougamau. He registered at Concordia University with the goal of earning a bach elor' s degree in mathematics and becoming a teacher. He soon found a job as probation officer and worked closely with psycholo gists, psychiatrists and social workers. Rahil felt he found his calling and worked as a probation officer until 1979. During a vacation to visit his aunt in Los Angeles, Rahil m et Layla on Aug. 15, 1979. On Sept. 1, 1979, they were married in a civil ceremony, followed by church wedding in October of the same year. Rahil went back to school fulltime to get a master' s degree in clinical psychology. "It was tough," he says. "W e almost ran out of money." In the years that followed, Rahil worked at a maximum-security jail for adults in Quebec, then in the psychology department for a hospital in the National Health Service in England, and finally as a clinical psycholo gist in Lourdes-de-Blanc-Sablon, Que., until 1987. He moved his family to Barrie, Ont. to work as a psychometric, and to the United Arab Emirates to work for Emirates Airlines in Dubai for three years. In total, the family had 13 different addresses. In 1998, Rahil moved his family to Oakville -- where he has lived ever since. He is now retired from his last job as a psy chometric, assessing students in Halton. His two daughters are now married -- with one living in Toronto and the other in Vancou ver. "My joy is complete when in m y villa, I'm surrounded by my lovely wife, my two daughters and their families," he writes, at the conclusion of his memoir.

Oakville built an early 2-0 lead but North Mississauga battled back to tie the game be fore the half. "Our focus and intention (Sunday) was to try and maintain some consis tency and I think we did that," said Oakville Blue Devils head coach Duncan Wilde. "We set off really well and took a well-deserved twonil lead in 20 minutes and had no danger whatsoever, and then we became com placent." The win extended the Blue Dev ils' winning streak to seven games and their lead atop the League1 Ontario's W est Divi sion standings to six points. W ith the match tied 2-2 in the second half, M cNamara' s header went to Anthony Novak, who backfooted a return pass to McNamara. He drove home what proved to be the win ning goal in the 69th minute. Five minutes later, his header off a corner kick extended Oakville's lead to 4-2. "W e had to refocus at half-time," Wilde said. "W e made some changes to try and play in a different way, trying to get the ball wider, sooner. It worked for us and we created six or seven really good chances and took two of them ." Mathew Santos got Oakville on the board early. He slipped in be hind coverage, converting a pass at the far post for his team-leading 13th goal of the season. Oakville added to its lead when Khody Ellis scored off Judah Hernandez' s cor ner kick in the 19th minute. After Oakville controlled the play for m uch of the half, the Panthers evened things up with goals in the 30th and 37th minute.
