local kids at Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax-Pick-
ering’s biggest annual fundraising event.
The annual OPG Bowl for Kids Sake fundrais-
er will be held on March 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. at

Bigs and Littles warmed up for the fundraiser
at the campaign kick off at the bowling centre on
Feb. 4.
Among them were Big Brother Daniel
Schultheis of Ajax and his Little Brother, 12-year-
old Nicky Chatterton of Pickering.
Mr. Schultheis decided to volunteer for the
organization two years ago and Nicky is his first
Little Brother.
“I started with Big Brothers because I wanted to
work directly with a child and I felt I was a at a
point in my life where I could become a positive
role model,” said Mr. Schultheis.
Nicky was on the waiting list for two years
before he was matched up.

No new hires this year
JEFF MITCHELL
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
WHITBY -- A “status quo” budget that fea-
tures no new hires and deferral of some
debt payments was presented Friday
morning to Durham Region’s police ser-
vices board.
The $153-million budget adheres to
targets imposed on the service by the
Region’s finance committee, Deputy Chief
Scott Burns said in presenting the draft
document in Whitby.
“This is basically a status quo bud-
get,” he said. “There are no new
officers or staff.”
Regional politicians imposed
a cap of 5.3 per cent on this
year’s budget, which represents
a $7.8-million increase over the
2010 budget. The budget sub-
mitted Friday meets that goal,
but does not account for some expendi-
tures and unforeseen costs such as major
criminal investigations, Deputy Chief
Burns said.
The target was also achieved by
deferring $1 million of $1.5 mil-
lion in debt payments that had
been scheduled for 2011.
“We do have to deal with
that (debt) but it’s being deferred
for 2011,” the deputy chief said.
The proposed budget stresses
sufficient staffing to respond to reports of
crime and take “proactive” steps to pre-
vent offences, board members heard.
“The themes are really about putting
more cops on the street and creating more
proactive time for them –- preventing
crimes before they happen,” Deputy Chief
Burns said.
The draft budget will be reviewed by the
regional finance committee before being
submitted to council for approval.

DURHAM -- Durham Regional Police Chief Mike Ewles is facing misconduct com-
plaints, which accuse the chief of allegedly intervening in a domestic assault case
involving a former civilian volunteer. Police board chairman Roger Anderson says the
complaints will be independently investigated.

DURHAM -- Two complaints about the con-
duct of Durham Regional Police Chief Mike
Ewles will be independently investigated, the
regional police services board said in a state-
ment Tuesday afternoon.
The decision, announced after a lengthy
closed-door discussion among board mem-
bers last Friday, was made to ensure public
confidence in the police service, board chair-
man Roger Anderson said in a written state-
ment.
The board also expressed its ongoing sup-
port of Chief Ewles, noting that allegations
made against Durham’s top cop “have not
been substantiated.
“The Board is committed to sustaining
high levels of public trust in the Durham
Regional Police Service, an essential ele-
ment of effective community policing,” Mr.
Anderson said in the statement. “By request-
ing independent investigations by the police
oversight bodies, the Board aims to provide
assurance to the residents of Durham Region
that all police officers, no matter what rank,
will be held to a high standard of account-
ability.”
Board members have informed two agen-
cies -- the Ontario Civilian Police Commis-
sion and the Office of the Independent Police
Review Director -- the complaints merit fur-
ther investigation.
One complaint, filed with OIPRD late
last year, accused the chief of intervening
in a domestic assault case involving a for-
mer civilian volunteer. The other, lodged by
the Durham Regional Police Association to
OCPC, alleged the chief used his influence
to avoid being searched while attending a
local hockey game, and that he had tried to
intervene on behalf of a friend charged with
speeding.
The OIPRD will be asked to investigate the
first complaint, while the second has been
referred to OCPC for investigation by the
chief of police service outside Durham.
Mr. Anderson said in Tuesday’s statement
that the board continues to back Chief Ewles
and his administration,
“It is important to keep in mind that these
allegations have not been substantiated,” he
said. “Unless and until there is reason to do
otherwise, the board will support the leader-
ship of Chief Ewles.”
Chief Ewles has refused to comment on the
allegations made against him, but said last
Friday he’s eager for the matters to be prop-
erly dealt with.
“I’m anxious for the process to move for-
ward,” he said.

Larry O’Leary was
politician, businessman,
hockey coach, actor
and director
KRISTEN CALIS
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Playing many different roles
throughout Durham Region for nearly 40
years, Larry O’Leary had no shortage of
friends.
“I know my dad influenced lots of peo-
ple’s lives,” says his son, Steven O’Leary.
“I know he influenced a lot of the ways
I do things. He was really loved by his
friends and people he came in contact
with in the community.”
Mr. O’Leary died
on Feb. 14 of lung
cancer at Rouge Val-
ley Centenary hospi-
tal in Scarborough.
He was well-known
in the community as
a businessman, poli-
tician, hockey coach
and, probably most
notably, an actor and
director.
“Right from an early
age, my parents were
involved in commu-
nity theatre and everything related to
community theatre,” his son says.
Mr. O’Leary was born in Dublin, Ire-
land and moved to England after gradu-
ating from Castleknock College in Dub-
lin, where he excelled in public speak-
ing. In England, he met his future wife
Eileen. They married in 1960, had three
boys and moved to Canada in 1964,
where the couple had four more boys
and one girl.
After spending time in Toronto, where
Mr. O’Leary opened his own company,
Conduct-A-Child, which provided fun
outings for children of visiting conven-
tioneers, the family moved to Pickering
in 1972. He later retired in Bowmanville.
“When we were kids, he coached each
one of our hockey teams at one point or
another,” Steven O’Leary recalls.
This was despite Mr. O’Leary’s rare dis-
abilities. He was born with Charcot Marie
Tooth, an inherited neurological disor-
der that affects the nervous system. Over
time it causes the loss of muscle strength
in the feet, legs, hands and diaphragm.
He wasn’t diagnosed until he was 40.
Steven O’Leary remembers his father
being told he would soon be confined to
a wheelchair.
“Right up until he died, he refused to
use a wheelchair,” he laughs.
“He would not be told that he couldn’t
do something.”
In 1999, Mr. O’Leary was diagnosed
with Guillain-Barre syndrome, an
inflammatory disorder of the peripheral
nerves. It causes the rapid onset of paral-
ysis of the legs, arms, breathing, muscles
and face.
In 2005, another doctor diagnosed him
with chronic inflammatory demyelinat-
ing polyneuropathy, a rare disease of the
peripheral nervous system that causes
gradual weakness and loss of sensation
in the arms and legs. It’s similar to GBS,
but there’s no cure.
In 2007, at 67, when he was just one of
578 Canadians living with the disease,
and only one of 52 with a combination
of CIDP and CMT, Mr. O’Leary chose to
walk from Bowmanville to the national
conference for GBS/CIDP at the Delta
Airport West Hotel to raise awareness.
“He was a character, I can tell you that,”
Steven O’Leary says.
His father’s ailments didn’t stop him
from doing the things he loved.
“He carried on as normally possible as
he could,” his son says. “I know he suf-
fered with lots of pain in his life but ...
the show had to go on.”
Mr. O’Leary became a school board
trustee and eventually chairman of the
Durham Separate School Board in the
late 1970s. He also owned the O’Leary
School of Drama and was well acquaint-
ed with local drama groups such as the
Backwoods Players and the Herongate
Barn Dinner Theatre. His work earned
him a 2003 Pickering Civic Award for arts
and culture.
“Drama was his real driving force and
love,” says his son. “He would lose any
sort of disability at all when he got up on
stage and was acting in a play. And he
was a truly passionate director as well.”
Mr. O’Leary is mourned by his former
wife Eileen, eight children and 13 grand-
children.
A memorial service will be held today,
Wednesday, Feb. 23, at 11 a.m. at Holy
Redeemer Roman Catholic Church in
Pickering, 796 Eyer Dr.

Education session
to be held for
Regional politicians,
but date hasn’t
been set yet
KEITH GILLIGAN
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Regional councillors are going
to get an education on Durham’s planned
incinerator.
And, until the education session is
held, some aspects of the program are
on hold.
On Wednesday, Regional councillors
voted to table, or defer, several approv-
als, including the project agreement
with Covanta and the co-owner’s agree-
ment with York Region, until the educa-
tion session is held.
Sixteen of the 28 Regional councillors
were elected in the October municipal
election and are new to the incinerator
issue.
Covanta Energy has been selected as
the company that will design, build and
operate the facility, on Osbourne Road
in Clarington.
No date has been set for the education
session.
One of the complications is many
municipalities are now working on their
budgets, which take up a great deal of
time for councillors.
When asked if an education session
could be held, Durham works commis-
sioner Cliff Curtis said it could be done,
but added the environmental assess-
ment for the project has been completed
and the contract with Covanta has been
signed.
“We’re now at the implementation
stage.”
Oshawa Councillor John Aker said,
“I understand the contract has been
signed. But if we’re asked a question,
we’d like to answer the question.”
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson
said a session could be held and it would
be open to the public, but he cautioned
against allowing delegations.
“If you want delegations, I guarantee
you’ll be here for 15 hours.”
Ajax Councillor Colleen Jordan said,
“On an issue of such complexity, a ses-
sion would be beneficial.”
Scugog Mayor Chuck Mercier, the
works committee vice-chairman, said
the incinerator has “consumed our com-
mittee since the start of the term. Coun-
cillors are making themselves aware of
the project.”
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish noted this is a
new council and “this council can take
a hands-on view of this. It’s important
this council send a very clear message.
There’s a new sheriff in town and this
sheriff wants to know all the details.”
It’s unlikely the council would “undo”
the incinerator agreement, as that would
mean a significant financial cost for the
Region, he added.

Operated tax
preparation
business in
Pickering, Toronto
TORONTO -- A Toronto man
who prepared false tax returns
for his clients totalling close to
$1.5 million in claims has been
sentenced to 14 months in pris-
on.
Bernard Sarfo pleaded guilty
in an Ontario Court of Justice in
Toronto on Feb. 17 to one count
of tax fraud.
According to court docu-
ments, he prepared approxi-
mately 180 false claims for 147
clients on tax returns between
2004 and 2007.
Mr. Sarfo, who operated sev-
eral tax preparation business-
es in the GTA, including LTS
Direct and Liberty Tax Ser-
vice in Pickering, made a total
of $1,439,485 in false claims,
deductions and credits over
that period.
Among the claims were false
charitable donations totalling
$567,845, false business losses
totalling $448,667, false rental
losses totalling $344,089 as well
as other false deductions and
credits totalling $78,884.
In cooperation with his clients,
Mr. Sarfo provided the majority
with false charitable donation
receipts to support the claims
and issued numerous false T4
slips, according to court docu-
ments.
As a result of his actions, the
amount of federal taxes Mr.
Sarfo under-reported on his
clients’ tax returns totalled
$297,599, while the Canada
Revenue Agency issued refunds
to those individuals to which
they were not entitled.

AJAX -- A personal support work-
er is accused of sexually assaulting
a young man earlier this month at
Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering
Hospital.
Durham police said the victim,
22, complained of being inap-
propriately touched by a man
while he recovered from surgery
Feb. 3. The accused is an agency
support worker who had been
hired to assist with an elderly
patient, police said.
Neyamat Ali, 45, of Scarbor-
ough, is charged with sexual
assault.
The man works at hospitals
and other facilities on contracts
and police want to be sure there
are no other victims.

BYLAWS
Proposed Pickering ban
on feeding squirrels nutty
To the editor:
I attended the City of Pickering’s Execu-
tive Committee meeting on Feb. 14, where
they discussed a proposed bylaw pertain-
ing to exotic animals and wildlife.
One section of the bylaw is hitting a raw
nerve, that the feeding of wildlife be for-
bidden (Section 26)
with exceptions in
Section 27 stating that
the feeding of indige-
nous birds from self-
contained feeders is
acceptable.
At this time, the
bylaw has failed to
allow the feeding of
squirrels.
Many people
enjoy feeding these
bushy-tailed critters.
I have even provided the squirrels in my
neighborhood with their own feeder, in
order to try to distract them from my bird
feeders!
As Mayor Ryan pointed out during the
meeting, the prohibition on feeding wild-
life seems to be out of line with what neigh-
bouring communities are doing.
For example, in Whitby, the Chickadee
Trail at the Lynde Shores Conservation
Area allows its patrons to feed the birds,
chipmunks, and squirrels.
I urge the City of Pickering to change the
wording of Section 27 to allow for feeding
squirrels, similar to the allowance for feed-
ing birds.

FEEDBACK
Animal stories are
people stories
To the editor:
Re: ‘People over animals, every time’, Mike
Johnston column, durhamregion.com, Feb.
16, 2011.
Seriously? You think the articles featured
in the newspaper over the last month were
about animals and not people helping peo-
ple? You complain about the westie people
not asking about the little girl that was bit-
ten, but you completely overlook and deni-
grate the core of the Roxy story, which has
one young resident, Deanna Pyke, caught
up in a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s not
about the animals, it’s about the people.

Re: ‘People over animals, every time’, Mike
Johnston column, durhamregion.com, Feb.
16, 2011.
Never before have I responded to an arti-
cle, but I feel compelled to do so now. I take
100 per cent offence as a reader to choos-
ing “people over animals every time”.
As a newspaper you should be reporting
on the news as it occurs. If it happens to
be that the majority of the news is people
related or animal related then that’s how it
should be. I want to read what’s happen-
ing now in my city, not just articles based
on the decision of an editor that describes
himself as not an animal person. I choose
what articles I want to read in your news-
paper, be it people or animal.
You’re forgetting you have a wide range
of readers to please.

SOCIAL MEDIA
‘Tweeting’ diminishes
importance of message
To the editor:
To tweet or not to tweet; that is the ques-
tion.
I have heard our political leaders make
serious comments on major issues of
the day using the 140-character limit
on Twitter. Somehow the weight of
the message is diminished when pol-
iticians are described as “tweeting”.
It brings to mind a couple of cartoon
characters, namely Sylvester and Tweety,
or apple fritter, or a soprano choir voice.
I just can’t avoid laughing when I hear
that someone important “tweeted” about a
profound issue in our world.

Durham MP Bev Oda should step down from cabinet
Durham MP and International Co-oper-

the truth to a parliamentary committee.
The controversy surrounds the way in
which a religious Christian organization
was turned down for a $7-million foreign
aid grant.
KAIROS was approved for the grant by
officials with the Canadian International
Development Agency. When the document
got to Ms. Oda for approval she signed the
document but the word “not” was insert-
ed, indicating the grant was to be turned
down.
As a minister, Ms. Oda has every right to
make that decision. But, speaking before a
parliamentary committee Dec. 9, the min-
ister said she didn’t know who altered the
document.
In the House of Commons last week, she
admitted the word “not” was inserted “at
my direction.” She told MPs “the way in
which this case has been handled, includ-
ing by myself, has been unfortunate.”
Unfortunate is an understatement. The
declaration that she misled a committee of
Parliament should be enough for the min-
ister to resign, or for Prime Minister Ste-
phen Harper to send her packing.
Of the 160 people who took the time to
vote in a poll on durhamregion.com, 49
per cent said the prime minister should
remove her from cabinet, 34 per cent said
she should resign, while 18 per cent said
she should do nothing. And, on our Face-
book page, 100 per cent of those who com-
mented said she should resign, with one
comment noting “she’s not fit to represent
the good people of Durham.”
As expected, the Conservatives are cir-
cling the wagons around Ms. Oda and
defending her actions, while the opposi-
tion parties are hammering at the govern-
ment to have her step down.
Ms. Oda should do the honourable thing.
She misled a committee of her peers. She
didn’t find out about the document being
altered at a later date; she knew going into
the meeting that it had been altered.
Whether Ms. Oda made the change on
the direction of the prime minister or did
it herself, she has no recourse but to step
down to show Canadians that lying is not
acceptable behaviour.
If she won’t resign, Mr. Harper should ask
for her resignation.
If a federal election is called this year, Ms.
Oda will have a tough time facing her con-
stituents in Durham if she is still a mem-
ber of the Harper cabinet. It would be bet-
ter for her future political career to resign
now, and face her constituents with a clean
slate.
My son and I were talking the other day
about nations that had, as part of their
residency, mandatory stints in the mili-
tary. And we got to thinking about what it
would be like to live in a country or a time
where, instead of everyone having to do
mandatory military service, everyone had
to do a five-year hitch in an orchestra. As
we approach the mythically world-alter-
ing end of the Mayan calendar in 2012,
I’m finding it fun to imagine what kind of
a new world we will build for ourselves.
I’m not one of those who subscribe to
any kind of real apocalyptic scenarios,
although I am happily looking forward
to the death of Reality TV, Facebook and
Twitter. But I do believe we are on the cusp
of something very different and quite won-
derful. I don’t, for instance, think there is
anything at all coincidental in the current
transformations occurring in Egypt and
various other countries living under des-
potic rule. These kinds of upheaval are the
birth pains of a new world order. A fresh
way of doing things.
And so, what better time to start imagin-
ing a better future than right now? Noth-
ing, after all, ever happens without some-
one first conjuring it in their mind’s eye.
I am certain that millions of Egyptians,
for instance, had been imagining a better
way of life for themselves for many, many
years.
And now, finally, they are deliriously
enjoying its manifestation.
So why not a world full of music instead
of guns? Wouldn’t it be great if the biggest
diplomatic issue of the day was Canada’s
harbouring illegal Oboe dodgers from the
States?
Rebellious young men and women who
had received that dreaded letter from the
government, ordering them to report to
their nearest Music Hall for ‘Flute Camp’,
and had decided, in their tone deaf panic,
to flee instead of audition.
Teen draftees labeled not 4F but F Sharp.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if hundreds of
parents and families stood weeping, not at
the sight of flag-draped coffins, but at the
spectacle of their very much alive sons,
daughters, husbands, wives, fathers and
mothers playing a symphony that would
topple any wall of Jericho anywhere in the
world?
Wouldn’t it be miraculous if the last
brass casing of the last bullet ever manu-
factured was melted down for a flugelhorn
or trombone?
Arms dealers would go quietly out of
business and in their place, of course,
would be illegal Reed merchants.
A black market full of knock-off Strings
and Timpani. Nervous, perspiring buyers,
clutching wads of damp currency, would
meet in back alleys and dingy, poorly lit
jazz clubs to negotiate piano shipments
with seedy looking musical lowlifes. I
could live with that.
No more war, no more battles, save for
battles of the bands. The only coups being
the bloodless toppling of a hated conduc-
tor or egomaniacal First Violinist. I could
live with all of that.
I’ve no doubt the end of this world is
coming. But I don’t think it will come in
a flash or a bang or even the trumpet of
angels.
I think it will be accompanied by the
sound of laughter, music and human exul-
tation. The sound of enlightenment. Imag-
ine that.

CELIA KLEMENZ/
BEHIND THE LENS
UXBRIDGE -- Seeing an air
conditioner encased in ici-
cles was just too good a visu-
al to pass up. Two things
might come to mind: Just
how cold did the folks inside
really want their rooms to
be? Which is a valid ques-
tion, if the photo was taken
in the dead of summer. But,
the photo was taken on the
frigid day recently, to which
I wondered if the unit would
even function come summer.
Sometimes I create a photo
just to capture a moment,
even if that moment lasts for
months, as this image has,
offering something for the
viewer to ponder.
JOANNE BURGHARDT
Having fun
on Facebook
We’re having a lot of fun building an
audience on Facebook. Testing a series of
contest applications from Offerpop, we’re
running photo contests and inviting fol-
lowers to weigh in on a variety questions.
By encouraging people to ‘Like’ our Face-
book pages, we hope to build our audience.
A few things have become clear already:
1. As my co-worker Mike Johnston has
discovered this week –- thanks to his col-
umn about animal stories –- people love
their furry friends. Our first photo contest,
‘My Furry Valentine’ was a huge success
with nearly 100 entries. In just one week,
we dramatically increased the post views
on our Kristen’s Kritters Facebook page.
2. If you have lots of Facebook friends,
you can be a contest contender. On our
Northumberland News Facebook page,
where we’re running the ‘Northumber-
land’s Cutest Couple’ photo contest, the
number of ‘likes’ have more than doubled
in a week, and post views are up a ridicu-
lous 1,728 per cent month over month.
Kudos to the leading couple who as of the
moment I write this have convinced 290
friends to vote for them.
3. People don’t ‘like’ you unless they
have an incentive to do so. Sad but true.
Offer a prize and your reader participa-
tion offerings will be much more success-
ful. Evidence lies in the sluggish tug of war
between Eric Lindros and John Tavares
currently being hosted on our Sports Dur-
ham Facebook page. No prize, no partici-
pation.
4.Sometimes it takes time ... and a little
promotion. Entries are slowly starting to
roll in for our Kids in the Kitchen photo
contest on our newsdurham Facebook
page. Watch that one take off after some in-
paper promotion to help it out.
Working in a newsroom is serious busi-
ness. Many days deliver tough stories
about bad things happening to good peo-
ple. So it’s nice to cook up fun ways to
interact with our readers, whether that’s a
few, a few hundred or a few thousand.
-- Editor-in-Chief Joanne Burghardt has been seen
posting her cooking adventures on our
new Food and Wine blog at durhamregion.com
“It took a long time to get a Big Brother but I
think it was worth it,” he said.
After a shy first meeting, Nicky and Mr.
Schultheis found they both like sports and
often spend their time together playing
sports. They also go to the movies and talk on
the phone.
Nicky knows he can talk to his Big Brother
about problems. Last summer, when kids on
his street bugged him because his bike hel-
met wasn’t cool, the two grabbed some black
spray paint from a hardware store and made
the helmet look a lot cooler.
Overall, Mr. Schultheis says he thinks he
gets more out of it because he has a chance to
make a difference in a kid’s life.
“It’s nice to know I get to play a role in help-
ing him mature and develop ... and for a cou-
ple of hours a week I get to just be a kid and
have fun.”
Melanie Stewart, executive director of Big
Brothers and Sisters Ajax-Pickering, said the
goal this year is to raise $65,000 in Bowl for
Kids Sake.
“I would encourage people to register
quickly because the lanes are filling up,” she
said, adding those who can’t make it out the
event in March can still participate by orga-
nizing a Wii bowling party at work.
Participants have a chance to win prizes.
The event is the biggest fundraiser of the
year for Big Brothers and Sisters. “When we
don’t do very well, it directly impacts the
delivery of our programs,” said Ms. Stewart.
In the past year, 285 local children have
benefitted from the programs. In addition to
the traditional one-on-one pairing between
a big and a little, there are group mentorship
programs, in-school programs and couples
mentoring.
And the organization isn’t just looking to
raise funds, but is also looking for volunteers.
“We particularly need male volunteers,” said
Ms. Stewart.
“Right now we have 15 boys on our waiting
list and that’s right now, it grows all the time.”

Heading down the aisle in a church, a garden or in a tropical
setting far from home? Bridal Desires and Tuxedo Royale have
the latest colours and styles together with the personalized
service you need for fi nd the perfect fi t! Be sure to see the
latest trends from top designers at the 2011 Spring Wedding
Show. Discover for yourself why so many couples choose
their wedding attire at Bridal Desires and Tuxedo Royale.
Wedding gowns in rich, luxurious satin fabrics highlight
this spring’s trend as well as fashion- forward looks with
mermaid silhouettes paired with dramatic layered skirts.
Bridal gowns adorned with large fl ower accents are popular
and sweetheart necklines are still a fl attering choice. Ivory is
still very popular but traditional white is making a comeback.
Dresses with subtle, clear beading, single-shoulder and
strapless are extremely popular for walking down the aisle.
Since destination weddings are a fashionable choice, Bridal
Desires will be showcasing lightweight chiff on easy-to-travel
wedding gowns, too.
To compliment the bride’s dress, bridal party styles include
fl oral accents, single-shoulder and strapless designs. Fun,
fl irty knee-length dresses are hot this year and you’ll see
lots of purple, turquoise, apple green, cobalt blue and moss
green this year.
Whether you rent or purchase formal attire for the groom,
you want to look your very best. That’s why Tuxedo Royale
has trained professionals to help you choose the right look
to make your day extra-special. They know that there’s more
to being a groom than putting on a suit and showing up.
There are many choices to be made.
To coordinate the bridal party style, Tuxedo Royale lets you
choose accessories from 180 colours, including the exciting
Ombre collection of vibrant ties and pocket squares, made
to be worn with a black vest.
“Our extensive colour choices, along with our impeccable
service is what sets us apart,” says Ivan Zichy, owner
Tuxedo Royale.
“Slim fi t, two-button tuxedo jackets are very popular and
look great,” explains Mr. Zichy. “We’re the only one with the
Jean Yves hot red coat and black pants.”
Rentals include the jacket, pants, cummerbund, tie, shirt,
suspenders, studs and cuffl inks. Upgrade with vests, pocket
squares and formal footwear on all the groomsmen. Size
doesn’t really matter and is more about personal style.
With over 30 years of experience and their unparalleled
service, excellent selection and attention to detail, Tuxedo
Royale is Ontario’s favourite formalwear store. With dozens of
incredible styles, you can choose from Chaps Ralph Lauren,
Perry Ellis, Joseph Abboud, Jean Yves, After Six and much
more. Then coordinate and compliment your style with the
hottest vest and tie colours.

Book your hairstylist and makeup artist early and be sure to
try out your wedding day look long before the big event. You’ll
shine on the big day in the spotlight when all eyes are on you.
“Do a makeup trial long before the big day,” says Lena
Gregory, owner of MakeUp by Lena. “With brides, we heighten
their natural beauty. If she has beautiful eyes, we enhance
the eyes. If her lips are her most striking feature, we play up
the lips.”
“We work with the bride beforehand to get an understanding
of her personality. If she’s shy and subdued she will not be
happy with too much makeup.”
“Brides ask about the ‘smoky eye.’ It’s still in style but the
colours have changed. The look has softened a bit, and now
uses purples and greys.”
“Many brides want to look themselves but more made up,”
explains Lena. “If a bride doesn’t usually wear makeup, she
suggests going with a makeup artist over doing it yourself.
Lena has everything already in her case and she knows how to
apply make up to enhance your natural beauty.
“Spring trends include brighter colours even in make-up,”
explains Lena. “Try a bright blue eyeliner for added colour.”
“For bridesmaids, spring and summer dresses are more
colourful, so we add energy to their make-up with nice pinks
and roses on their lips,” says Lena.
Kim Bogris, owner of Hair and Spa in Motion suggests a
one-on-one consultation with a hairstylist long before your
wedding day. “You don’t want any last minute surprises. When
you change your mind about your hairstyle on your wedding
day it can be very time consuming and nerve-racking,” she
explains.
“A big trend in hairstyles these days is romantic; loose fl owing
hair accented with fl owers. More brides are choosing to wear
their hair down,” explains Kim. “Many brides know exactly what
they want and they have pictures of their chosen style.”
“For brides who don’t know what they want for a hairstyle, I
have lots of pictures to show them for ideas. We try a few that
appeal to the bride and take pictures, make notes and decide
which one she likes best.”
When you know exactly what your hair and make-up will
look like before the big day you’ll be far more relaxed and able
to enjoy time with your friends and family.

(NC)-Planning or participating in a stag or stagette? Trying to
get friends together from near and far for a fi nal ‘hoorah’ before
settling down? Keep the following in mind as you or your
closest friends start planning pre-wedding get-togethers:
Air Savers
Celebrating weddings can get expensive, but many airlines
off er weekly or monthly specials. Sign-up for your favourite
airlines’ websaver deals and get information on reduced-cost
fl ights sent directly to your inbox.
Perfect Present
Known your friend for as long as you can remember and can’t
think of a single gift you haven’t already given? Snap photos
of the celebrations leading up to and including the wedding
and give them to your friend with a digital frame like the Kodak
Pulse Digital Frame, which allows you to email pictures to its
personal email address long after you have parted ways.
Overindulging
Celebrating any occasion, especially one as signifi cant as
a wedding, can be no time for restriction. With late-night-
laughs, delicious foods and stressful planning, make sure
you get a lot of rest in advance of the big days. Consume lots
of water (before and during the celebrations) and relax or
sleep whenever possible. Staying fresh and alert can be hard
amongst a whirlwind of activities, but doing so will help ensure
an occasion you never forget.

In a recent survey released by Visa Inc., 88 percent of couples
believed they overspent on some aspect of their wedding.
In today’s economic climate, the cost of weddings is
even tougher to swallow, as both the domestic and global
economy remains diffi cult to predict. Economic uncertainty
has left many young couples fearful of making a big fi nancial
commitment to their weddings. But it’s still possible for
couples to make the most of their wedding without landing
themselves in heavy debt once the honeymoon is over and
the bills must be paid.
* Limit beverage availability. In the Visa survey, respondents
felt they overspent more on food, drink and cake than any
other aspect of their wedding. The bar tab can quickly add up
at the end of the night, but couples can limit the bar expense
by making on a few diff erent types of drinks available. Off er
just two or three drink options instead of a full bar. Couples
can also consider a cash bar for mixed drinks to help lower
the bar tab by the end of the night.
* Switch fromSaturday. Saturday weddings are not only
the most popular, but also the most expensive. Couples with
some fl exibility can save money by moving their wedding
to a Friday or Sunday. Couples who move their weddings
to Friday often fi nd they get to spend more time with their
friends and families the following day, as guests are more
inclined to stay in town an extra day than they are on Sunday
afternoons following a wedding.
* Forgo a traditional honeymoon. Seventeen percent of
male respondents to the Visa survey felt they overspent on
their honeymoon. While it’s certainly nice to fl y off to the
Caribbean and spend your fi rst week as a married couple
soaking up some sun, a more local getaway for a couple of
days can be just as relaxing and save couples substantial
amounts of money. Once the bills have been paid, couples
can then enjoy a more traditional honeymoon, possibly in
celebration of their fi rst anniversary.
* Limit the guest list. Inviting all friends and family members
might be a nice gesture, but it’s also an expensive one.
Cost-conscious couples can save a good deal of money by
only inviting those friends and family members who are
closest to them.
* Order less extravagant fl oral arrangements. Floral
arrangements for a wedding can prove very expensive. But
couples can trim those costs using more greenery in the fl oral
displays and ordering less expensive, seasonal fl owers. When
discussing arrangements with the fl orist, explain that the
budget can only allow so much for fl owers, and work together
to fi nd ways to add aesthetic appeal without breaking
the bank. (MC)

Couples have many decisions
to make regarding their wedding
ceremony and reception. One
of those decisions conerns
transportation to and from the
special event.
There are many options in
wedding transportation. The more
traditional options include renting
a car or limousine. The Bridal
Association of America reports
that the average couples spends
$400 to $500 for an automotive
rental. However, prices may vary
depending on geography and the type of vehicle rented.
Wedding transportation is perhaps something grooms-to-
be can get excited about. After all, we’re talking about cars --
some fancy, some large, and many decked out with diff erent
features. Plus, it’s traditionally the responsibility of the
groom to arrange transportation to and from the ceremony,
reception and the hotel or honeymoon destination.
Grooms responsible for arranging transportation can
consider the following options.
* Limousine: A limo is one of the most traditional methods
of transport on a couple’s wedding day. A limousine’s size
enables them to carry the bridal party in its entirety. Because
the bride and groom often do not see each other before
the ceremony, two limos may be rented, one larger for the
bridal party, and one smaller for the bride and her parents,
depending on personal preference.
* Classic car: Sports car enthusiasts may want to make an
entrance -- and exit -- behind the wheel of a sporty vehicle.
These can include a high-end Ferrari or an Aston Martin.
Because of their high purchase price, sports car rentals may
carry a premium.
* Stretch SUV: The traditional limo has morphed into
the stretch SUV of popular models, including the Cadillac
Escalade, Ford Expedition or even a stretch Hummer. Because
of their popularity, these rentals may
be snatched up quickly. Be sure to
book well in advance of the big day.
* Party Bus: Many couples are
leaning toward a party bus rental,
which may be a single- or double-
decker bus that can fi t scores of
people inside. These are particularly
attractive to couples with a very
large bridal party, or those who
hope to begin the celebration even
before reaching the reception hall.
* Horse-drawn carriage: Some
couples truly want the fairytale feel
on their wedding day. A horse-drawn carriage can evoke
feelings of a Cinderella-type day. The carriage tends to be
best suited to warm weather. For winter weddings, a horse-
drawn sleigh might make a better alternative.
* Motorcycle: Exciting couples may want to ride off into the
sunset on the back of a roadster or sports bike.
* Horses: Horses can haul more than just a carriage. A
bride and groom atop a handsome steed can make for a
memorable wedding transportation option and equally
memorable photos.
* Boat: Individuals getting married by the sea or another
body of water may want to consider attending the festivities
via boat, be it a large vessel or a more intimate canoe or
rowboat.
Wedding day transportation varies depending on each
couple’s preference. Here are some other things to keep in
mind concerning transportation.
* Be sure to have transportation options at the ready for
guests who may have over-indulged on alcoholic beverages.
* Wedding party participants who arrived at the wedding
by a limo or other source will need a ride home somehow.
* Find out if a hotel nearby off ers complementary
transportation to and from the reception hall. (MC)

The Mother of the Bride
and guests
With your own personal gift consultant guiding you through their extensive selection of
exceptional decor and appliances for every room in your home, you’ll be on your way to
creating the lifestyle you desire.
“Many times couples have lived together or lived on their own so they are merging two
diff erent styles – this is a perfect time to upgrade to that dream lifestyle that you both will
love. A bridal gift registry consultant can help you decide what your combined lifestyle is
going to look like,” explains Stella Farrace, National Director, Bridal Gift Registry at The Bay.
“It’s not just about replacement. We ask couples what they aspire to have.”
The Bay Gift Registry off ers a solution for your entire home. Your personal consultant
will encourage you to think about how everything will look together so one room fl ows
seamlessly into the next and you get the comfortable feeling of ‘home’ you desire.
“We’re proud of our dedicated service and our devoted consultants in all stores.
Personalized service is something we continue to focus on. We off er couples the help
they need and we make it as fun, easy and as seamless as possible to choose the gifts they
want in person, online and across the country,” says Ms. Farrace.
Selecting the items for your gift registry can be a daunting task. Without guidance,
taking the scanner through the store and haphazardly adding items can often result in
many “unhappy” returns. With your personal gift consultant and their handy ‘gift guide’, at
The Bay couples can feel secure that they are selecting quality items that suit their style
for the long term.
“Consultants are focused on the couple,” explains Ms. Farrace. “They take the time to
understand the couples’ needs and help them plan how everything will look and feel
when it’s all together at home.”
Couples begin selecting items for dining and entertaining, keeping in mind their formal
and casual dining styles. Bed and bath items can be chosen together so that everything
coordinates beautifully.
Arranging two to three separate appointments with your consultant will allow you
the time to consider all of The Bay’s spectacular choices in home decor and accessories.
Schedule your fi rst appointment to choose dining and kitchen items, a second
appointment to consider bed and bath things, and then a third appointment to choose
larger items such as entertainment systems and appliances.
Group gifting is a huge trend and a great way for a new couple to get the larger things
on their list. “People will get together to buy one big gift,” says Ms. Farrace. “They enjoy the
convenience of shopping from the registry as well as knowing they are getting something
the couple will really enjoy.”
Couples who register with The Bay’s Gift Registry receive an exclusive wedding guide
that is released twice per year. Build your wish list in person and then add to it by selecting
items from the guide and sending it to your gift Consultant to add to your registry…it’s
that easy.
Visit The Bay’s booth at the Ajax Wedding Show to see the incredible items they have
on display. Then, make an appointment with a personal gift consultant and prepare for
your life of happily ever after.

Saturday night. Cook won a split decision in the four round bout.
Four-round split decision
for Ajax boxer
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
MISSISSAUGA -- He didn’t get the knockout
he was seeking, but at the end of his pro box-
ing debut, Brandon Cook had his arm raised
in victory.
The Ajax resident had a successful debut
on Saturday night, winning a four-round split
decision over Quebec’s Francis Lafreniere
during a card entitled The Fighters at the Her-
shey Centre in Mississauga. The judges scored
the 162-pound middleweight fight 39-38 and
38-37 for Cook, and 38-37 for Lafreniere.
“I thought it went pretty good,” said Cook
of the fight. “After the first round, I got too
anxious, trying to knock him out because I
dropped him with the first right hand.
“I could have done a lot better. I was winging
a lot of punches. It was a little overwhelming
that with my first punch I dropped the guy.”
The 24 year old started the fight strong,
sending Lafreniere to the canvas with a hard
right in the opening seconds of the first round.
Lafreniere came back strong in the second
and third, as Cook felt he lost both rounds,
suffering a cut over his left eye, that required
five stitches to close after the fight, as a result
of a clash of heads.
Cook, nicknamed Bad Boy, felt he came
back in the fourth and did enough to win the
round, as both fighters went toe-to-toe des-
perately trying to pull out the win. Early in the
round, Cook cut Lafreniere over the left eye
with a punch, resulting in the ringside doctor
having to take a closer look at the gash with
just 15 seconds remaining in the fight.
“I thought it was a pretty good fight, but I
have a lot to work on,” said Cook in critiquing
the fight.
The Motor City Boxing Club fighter praised
his coaches at the Oshawa-based club for get-
ting him ready for the fight, and promoter
Tyler Buxton for his help along the way. Bux-
ton was pleased with what he saw in Cook.
“Brandon showed the fans that he is going to
be a great, exciting fighter for fans here in the
GTA to follow. I can see him becoming the fan
favorite for all fight fans here in Ontario.”
Cook will have the stitches removed Friday,
and plans on some light training over the next
couple of weeks before sparring again in prep-
aration for an anticipated fight in April.

ONTARIO JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE
Panthers staying put next season
Changes in
ownership,
coaching staff
a possibility
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- The Pan-
thers are staying put in
Pickering next season.
There is, however, some
uncertainty in regards to
who will be returning in an
ownership and coaching
capacity.
That’s the impression
coming out of the Pan-
thers camp a week after the
regular season closed for
the Ontario Junior Hockey
League club, whose eighth-
place finish in the East Divi-
sion left it outside the play-
off circle.
While a couple of stories
were making the rounds in
regards to the future of the
Panthers, co-owners John
Porco and Rob Stein put
them to rest. The first was
word of a merger between
the Panthers and the Tren-
ton Golden Hawks that
Porco was quick to shoot
down.
“Absolutely not true,” he
insisted. “There’s no inten-
tions for Pickering to con-
tract. The intention is to
move forward and continue
to play out of Pickering next
year,” he said, adding that a
merger between the teams
was not even discussed.
Stein, in a telephone
interview from Florida,
also confirmed the Pan-
thers would operate out of
Pickering next season.
The other rumour was
that the Panthers would
cease operations next sea-
son as part of a league-wide
contraction in an attempt
to whittle down the num-
ber of teams currently play-
ing in the league. That isn’t
going to be the case either.
“Rob and I both agree
that’s not going to happen,”
assured Porco, adding that
the Panthers notified the
league recently they are not
interested in contraction.
Both owners went
through the merger process
as this time last season, as
Stein’s Ajax Attack and Por-
co’s Panthers became one.
“The merger has been a
good one,” said Porco. “Our
success on the ice hasn’t
been as great as we would
have liked.
“We are going to take
some time to assess every-
thing we do. With any
good team or business you
always assess the results,
assess the performance
and assess what you want
to do moving forward. It’s
going to take us a bit of time
to figure that all out.”
Porco said that the same
process has been followed
each of the seven years he
has been with the club.
As for the intentions of
both owners to be involved
with the Panthers next sea-
son, there is some uncer-
tainty.
“I don’t see anything
changing from what it is
now,” said Stein. “I see
everything staying the same
as it is.”
Porco was noncommittal
about his intentions.
“I’m not going to com-
ment on that at this point,”
he said. “Rob and I have to
figure things out. We’re on
the same page. It’s going to
take a couple of weeks to
figure everything out.”
Until some decisions are
made, there is a question
mark as it relates to the
coaching staff returning,
particularly head coach
John Goodwin, who took
the team over this past sea-
son.
“I’m not sure to be hon-
est,” he said of whether he
would like to return. “A
lot of things would have
to change for me to come
back and that’s if owner-
ship would even want me
back.
“It’s been an enjoyable
year working with the kids.
There has been some issues
internally that we would
have to straighten out.”
No dates for a spring
rookie camp have been
reserved, though the club
plans to proceed with one,
assured Porco.
HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY
LOSSA playoffs in full
swing for local teams
Juniors get underway
this week, while seniors
hit ice for round two
DURHAM -- Playoffs have begun in the
LOSSA junior boys’ hockey loop.
The No. 1-ranked St. Mary Monarchs are
facing the No. 8-seeded J. Clarke Richard-
son Storm, while in the No. 2 versus No. 7
series, the Pickering Trojans face the Ajax
Rams.
It’s an Oshawa/Whitby match up with the
third- and sixth-place teams as the Dwyer
Saints face the All Saints Titans, while
fourth-ranked Dunbarton Spartans face
the Denis O’Connor Chargers.
During the regular season, St. Mary
secured first place by finishing the year
with a record of 9-1. Pickering also had
a 9-1 mark, but finished second due to
their loss to St. Mary earlier in the season.
Dwyer’s third place was earned with an 8-2
record, followed by Dunbarton in fourth
with the same 8-2 record. They ran into
the same situation as Pickering, ending up
with the lower seed due to a loss to Dwyer
in head-to-head action.
The playoff rules see the first and sec-
ond rounds consisting of two games total
points, while the championship will then
move to a best-of-three format.
St. Mary enters the playoffs as defending
champions after beating Pickering last year
in Game 3 of the final.
Senior Hockey -- The second round of
the senior hockey playoffs get underway
on both fronts Wednesday afternoon.
St. Mary is scheduled to play host to
Pickering at 1 p.m. in Game 1 of their best-
of-three semifinal at Don Beer Arena. The
Monarchs advanced following a series
win over Holy Trinity. After losing the first
game 1-0, they had to win Game 2, which
they did, and an overtime period right after
to move on.
Pickering, meanwhile, defeated
Uxbridge.
Elsewhere, Dwyer knocked off Anderson
in the first round by scores of 4-3 and 5-1
and will face Ajax, which won its first game
against Austin in the first round 6-5 before
losing Game 2 and winning the subsequent
overtime session.
Game 2 for both series’ is scheduled for
Friday. Both games are at the Ajax Com-
munity Centre. Dwyer and Ajax take to rink
four at 2 p.m., while St. Mary and Pickering
play on rink three at 2:30 p.m.

ONTARIO HOCKEY LEAGUE
Oshawa Generals’ win
streak reaches five
SHAWN CAYLEY
scayley@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Considering the Oshawa
Generals have done everything possible
to take care of their own business as of
late, it comes as no surprise that they’ve
been doing a little scoreboard watching
at the same time.
After all, thanks to a recent stretch of
five wins in a row, the Ontario Hockey
League club now finds itself just three
points back of the Ottawa 67’s for first
in the East Division and second in the
Eastern Conference.
The gap was closed to three on Family
Day thanks to a combination of Osha-
wa’s 1-0 victory over the Brampton Bat-
talion and Ottawa’s 4-3 loss to the Kings-
ton Frontenacs.
“The guys, their mind set is ‘we’re
catching Ottawa, we’re catching Otta-
wa’, so when it flashed on the screen
that it was 3-1 for Kingston, the bench
was like ‘let’s hunker down and do the
little things’,” coach Chris DePiero said
afterwards about his 33-16-4-4 club.
“Those are the motivating factors for
our guys and now here we are, with
Kingston winning, three points behind
them, which is great.”
And the odds appear to be in Oshawa’s
favour in terms of skating away with the
division. At least on paper.
Both teams have 11 games remain-
ing and play each other once more,
March 18 in Ottawa. Chances are that
game could be the determining factor
as to who gets the higher seed, but the
10 other games will see Oshawa face
Kingston three times, Peterborough and
Belleville twice each, Brampton, Owen
Sound and Mississauga.
Ottawa, meanwhile, draws 10 differ-
ent teams, among them Windsor, Plym-
outh and Saginaw in their next three,
followed by Belleville, Barrie, Kitchen-
er, Kingston, Niagara, Mississauga and
Sudbury.
One of the biggest factors in Oshawa’s
recent roll has been the effectiveness
playing at even strength.
“I think we did a good job tonight,”
DePiero said of playing five-on-five.
“When I look, for me the big picture, in
the last four games since Wednesday
night we’ve given up six goals and only
one even strength goal. That’s what I am
happy about.”
He was also happy about the goalten-
ding performance put forth by Peter Di
Salvo, and justifiably so.
Di Salvo was solid in a 38-save effort,
especially in the third period when the
overager made 17 saves, allowing Andy
Andreoff’s second-period power-play
goal to stand as the winner. The goal
came with 12 seconds remaining in the
period as the Pickering native convert-
ed a rebound off a Christian Thomas
shot on Brampton’s Matej Machovsky.
“I think at this stage of the year, to
have a win like that is nice. To win 1-0
and just manage pucks in the manner
which we did. I thought Peter Di Salvo
was very good in net and certainly that
was like playoff hockey. That’s what
we’ll have to do.”
Oshawa’s next game comes Friday in
Kingston, while they return home Sun-
day to host Owen Sound, who they beat
Sunday on the road, 4-3 in a shootout.
That game was originally slated to be
played Saturday, but was postponed a
day to inclement weather.
