OSHAWA -- Mark Morissette, staff sargeant with the Durham Regional Police, spoke during a press conference after the third week of the DRPS Festive R.I.D.E. campaign
resulted in 26 motorists being charged with various drinking and driving offences. This brings the current campaign total to 72, compared to 66 at the same point in the cam-
paign last year.

DURHAM -- Durham police are asking the community for help
to avoid setting another record for impaired driving arrests dur-
ing this year’s Festive RIDE program.
Since the program was launched on Nov. 15, police have
charged 72 people with drinking and driving offences, up from
66 at this point in the program last year. The 2011 program set a
record with 155 charges laid.
Police fear they
could top impaired
driving arrests

Office will act as
resource for residents

WHITBY -- Residents with questions or con-
cerns about the new Hwy. 407 east extension
will now be able to find answers in Whitby
with the opening of a new public information
office.
On Nov. 29 members of the 407 East Devel-
opment Group welcomed area dignitaries and
residents to the opening of their new office at
400 Dundas St. E. in Whitby.
“The purpose is to have a permanent pres-
ence in the region to answer any questions
or concerns,” said Javier Tamargo, CEO of the
407EDG.
“This office is our commitment to transpar-
ent communication and to make sure resi-
dents are informed. We all know with con-
struction projects you have some effects that
people may not like, our goal is do the work as
quickly as we can to minimize the impact on
the community.”
The 407 East extension, which will extend
the existing highway 22 kilometres from
Brock Road in Pickering to Harmony Road in
Oshawa, is expected to be completed by 2015.
The project will also include a 10-kilometre
link connecting the 407 to Hwy. 401 near Lak-
eridge Road in Whitby.
The project will be completed in segments,
with the 401 link being completed first.
Public information centres for that portion
will be held Dec. 12 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Whit-
by’s Iroquois Park Sports Centre and Dec.
13 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Legends Centre in
Oshawa.
Construction is expected to start in March
2013 with road clearing. The remaining seg-
ments will be brought forward to the public
before approvals are sought.
“This project is unique in that we will not
go to the public with a 100-per cent complet-
ed design,” said Paul Ruttan, director, design
and construction for the 407EDG. “With each
segment we are coming forward to the public
for input before the design is complete, so that
can be incorporated.”
The project is being completed through
a public-private partnership between the
Ontario Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure
Ontario and the 407EDG,
which is made up of a
partnership between
Cintra Infraestructuras
S.A. and SNC-Lavalin
Inc.
Under the partnership the government is
responsible for land acquisition, environ-
mental assessments, technical review, project
management and project compliance, while
the 407EDG will be responsible for financ-
ing, communication and consultation, con-
struction and environmental oversight, qual-
ity assurance and design and construction,
and will be given operation and maintenance
responsibilities for the highway for 30 years
after completion.
“This office will remain here
for the duration of the project,” Mr.
Tamargo explained. “Our presence
here is for the long run because we
have 30 years of operation, so we will have a
continuing presence in Durham Region.”
Residents looking for more information on
the project can visit the office at 400 Dundas St.
E., call 1-855-463-3109, e-mail info@407edg.

Edwin Carpio grew up
in Dominican Republic,
married Canadian
Jennifer Pagliaro
newsroom@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Edwin Carpio’s family never wanted
him to leave home in the Dominican Repub-
lic.
It’s the last place eldest brother Franklin saw
his younger brother alive in 2002.
Edwin, the second of five boys, was restless
after moving to Queen’s, N.Y., as a teen in 1995,
skipping school and aggravating his mother,
Franklin said. Eventually, he was sent back to
their hometown, Higuey, less than
an hour west of Punta Cana.
Franklin, 32, who now lives in
Plainsboro, N.J., said Edwin never
liked New York, but when he met
and married a Canadian woman a
decade later, he found himself liv-
ing in Toronto.
The Ajax man was killed early
Sunday morning after suffering
gunshot wounds at a North York
apartment, which police said was
operating as an illegal after-hours
bar. He was 30 years old.
“My entire family is pretty much heartbro-
ken,” Franklin said. “As far as I know, his life
was work hard, party hard.”
The family never warmed to the idea of
Edwin being on his own in Canada, Frank-
lin said. “He was somebody who, in a sense,
wasn’t very self-sufficient,” he said. “Him
being away from the family, he might suffer
because of that. “In a way, we were right.”
In July, Edwin told him he was thinking
about starting a painting business.
“When he wanted to do something a certain
way, that was it,” Franklin said. “He was a good
person and he loved to work. I don’t know
what he did with his money. Probably spent it
all. But he loved to work.
“If you needed a favour, he was always there
for you,” Franklin said.
But Edwin was stubborn and often secretive,
his brother said, adding that Edwin has a four-
year-old son in Canada -- a nephew he’s never
met. On Monday, at the Keele Street apart-
ment between Sheppard and Wilson avenues
--- above a nail salon, florist and pizza parlour
-- police cruisers remained outside. A red-
and-white striped Christmas bow adorned
the door for 2887 Keele, next to a police seal
stuck over the frame.
A neighbour, who asked not to be identi-
fied, said they have complained before about
noise and loud music after seeing
large groups of young adults enter-
ing the apartment after 2:30 a.m.
on weekends. “Sometimes I can’t
sleep,” the neighbour said.
A business owner at the two-sto-
rey strip, who identified himself as
Roy, said with the redevelopment
of Downsview Park and promise of
a new subway station, local owners
hoped the neighbourhood would
improve. The murder and a recent
nearby string of home invasions in
the nearby Jane Street and Wilson
Avenue area have troubled residents.
Franklin said he’s planning to come to
Toronto next week to speak with police and
make arrangements to take his brother’s body
back to the Dominican.
Police continue to appeal for the six to 10
people they believe witnessed the shooting
to contact them. Franklin said he hopes his
brother’s murder will not become a cold case.
“I know that we wouldn’t be able to get him
back. At least we want justice,” he said.

“We’re very disturbed about this trend and
had to bring it to the community’s attention.
We’re trending to break this record and that’s
a record we do not want to break,” said Paul
Martin, deputy chief of Durham Police, who
joined forces with Staff Sergeant Mark Moris-
sette, who is in charge of the RIDE program,
on Dec. 3 at Regional headquarters for what
he called a “halftime huddle.”
“I think it’s important to take a bit of a time-
out from this and talk to the community
directly,” Deputy Chief Martin explained.
“Let’s think about what we’re doing. If
you’re going out to enjoy holiday parties and
activities, take a moment to think about how
you’re getting home.”
In addition to arrests made during RIDE,
police also responded to five alcohol-related
collisions in a seven-day span. In one inci-
dent, officers had to stop a man driving the
wrong way on the eastbound lanes of Hwy.
401 in Oshawa.
“This is not a victimless crime,” said Staff
Sergeant Morissette, noting both police offi-
cers and residents have put themselves at
considerable risk to help impaired drivers
involved in collisions, including pulling a
man from a burning vehicle after he drove off
the road near Taunton Road and Holt Road in
Clarington on Nov. 29.
“My officers are notifying families and noti-
fying establishments when someone’s been
involved in a collision,” he continued. “The
ripple effect of these incidents is incredible.
Our message is just to stop, think and not do
it. Every one of those 72 people had other
options and chose not to take them.”
Deputy Chief Martin said police will be
reviewing their strategies for dealing with
impaired driving given the increase, includ-
ing launching a new direct education cam-
paign with pamphlets at local liquor estab-
lishments in the Whitby area.
When asked what the increase might be
attributed to the deputy chief had no answers,
noting the number of stops made during ride
to this point is comparable to last year, and
that no specific demographic is more at risk.
“There’s no particular trend; about 75 per
cent of those stopped are men but aside from
that there’s no specific trend in age or anything
to say where we need to target,” he explained.
For now, police are asking the entire com-
munity to help reduce impaired driving.
“We consider this a serious criminal
offence,” Staff Sergeant Morissette said.
“We want anyone who witnesses or sus-
pects impaired driving to call 911 and we will
handle it. This is a 911 offence.”

Drunk drivers take the rest
of us for a terrifying RIDE
A disturbing uptick in the number of Dur-
ham Region motorists facing impaired driv-
ing charges this year during festive RIDE
checks has prompted police officials to hold
a rare mid-campaign press conference to
raise the alarm.
Durham Region Police hosted media on
Monday afternoon, following another week-
end in which a serious crash occurred in
which police believe alcohol played a role.
The crash happened last Friday night in
Clarington when a vehicle rolled over on
Courtice Road, leaving a female in the car
with a broken neck and fractured spine.
That crash came just a day after three oth-
ers involving serious injury. Last Thursday,
a vehicle on Taunton Road left the paved
surface and burst into flames. Bystanders
pulled the driver from the wreckage of the
vehicle and he was taken to hospital with
severe burns, among other injuries. Later
that same night, a vehicle travelling on
Brock Road in Pickering struck several con-
crete culverts. Still later that evening, a vehi-
cle entered Hwy. 401 in Oshawa going in
the wrong direction. Thanks to quick police
intervention, the car didn’t collide with any
other vehicles and potential tragedy was
averted.
Police believe alcohol was a factor in all of
those crashes. The courts will determine the
outcome in each of those cases, but given
the frightening statistics thus far into the
2012 festive RIDE campaign, it must be said:
do not drink and drive, at any time, under
any circumstance.
Christmas is a time of fellowship and fun.
Durham residents are out more, running
errands, working on gift lists, stocking up for
the big meal or heading out for a night with
friends. A conscious decision by one per-
son to get behind the wheel after drinking
alcohol -- there is no other way to ascribe
responsibility for it; it is a conscious deci-
sion -- puts everyone else at risk.
So far this year, according to police statis-
tics, many people have already made that
decision, despite public awareness efforts,
despite the serious risks of harm, despite the
heavy legal price one pays if found guilty.
All of us -- law enforcement officials, aver-
age citizens, everyone -- have a responsibili-
ty to make the right decisions related to alco-
hol use and driving. But we can also share
that message, take ownership of it, and work
actively to reduce the incidence of impaired
driving. If you’re hosting a party, make sure
your guests can get safely home. If you’re at
a party, make sure there’s a sober driver to
get you safely home. Hail a cab, take public
transit, call a friend or family member if nec-
essary ... to get you safely home.
No excuses. No rationales. No impaired
driving.
With age and growth come new seasonal traditions
This time of year family traditions abound. As our family grows up,
those traditions are taking on some new twists.
Friday’s Christmas cookie-baking frenzy saw my daughter, Van-
essa, and me mixing, rolling, cutting, baking and decorating for
the culinary comfort of our family and friends. Sure, we forgot
to buy some ingredients, we stood on our feet all day and
vowed never to do it again -- again.
But it was a great day full of laughs. For the first time,
half the cookies walked out the door with Vanessa to her
new home to be shared with a wider circle of family
and friends.
The first Sunday in Advent saw the Burghardt clan
gathered to officially kick off the holiday season. There
was coffee, cake and cookies followed by a dinner of
comfort foods. Most of us were there, but work and
social commitments increasingly leave a few chairs
vacant as the cousins grow up. For the first time the
event was hosted by someone of ‘the next genera-
tion’.
With all these firsts, it seems only fitting that, as our
family grows up, we develop traditions that reflect our new stage in life.
On Saturday, rather than bundling up some kiddies and head-
ing to Whitby’s Santa Claus Parade, I dodged the little traffic
jam at Garden Street and Manning Road where the floats
were lining up and headed to Heydenshore Park for the
annual Santa Shuffle 5K run and fundraiser.
Several hundred of us ran from Heydenshore Park to
Thickson Road and back along the waterfront trail to
raise money for the Salvation Army.
Decked out in Santa hats, reindeer antlers and
Grinch costumes, we made the frosty trek with
smiles -- and bells -- on.
Our little trio had so much fun that the Santa
Shuffle appears destined to become a tradition.
Next up is the Resolution Run on New Year’s
Day.
Heck, just getting up and running by noon
on Jan. 1 is going to require some new New
Year’s Eve traditions as well!

overhaul. If you are dating a teacher you should immediately
begin to eat oranges by the bag-load, put yourself on a green tea
intravenous drip and get a flu shot every couple of days. If you
intend to kiss your teacher partner, I suggest an oral dam or a gas
mask. Real intimacy will require a HazMat suit. Even that
may not help you.
Teachers work in what is essentially a two-storey,
sealed, brick-and-glass petri dish. Into this environ-
ment swim, daily, hundreds of sneezing, cough-
ing, gooey-nosed, phlegm-ejecting, two-legged
snot factories.
Inexplicably, the windows at most primary edu-
cational institutions cannot be opened more than a
couple of inches. This is ostensibly for the safety of the
children, but I suspect it has more to do with pre-
venting raving, bacteria-covered teachers from
throwing themselves out of them. This lack
of fresh air, however, creates an atmo-
sphere more conducive to developing
spores than young minds. Teach-
ing, at the primary level, is a very
personal experience. Unlike the
secondary and post-secondary
years, where instructors stand in
relative safety at the front of the
class or lecture hall, education
in the early grades is something
that much more resembles
hand-to-hand combat than
the Socratic handing down of
wisdom.
Study any primary class-
room for any length of time and
what will you see? Teachers bend-
ing down close to their charges, guiding
chubby little hands, speaking slowly and
emphatically and bringing their own
faces sometimes within inches of their
students. The board offices refer to this
as ‘hands-on’ learning. The children
know it as one-on-one time. Teachers call it ‘The Kill Zone’. In
the world of classroom germ warfare, this is effectively ground
zero. How many teachers have leaned in close to praise, correct
or instruct a youngster only to have the little cherub sneeze and/
or cough directly into their open mouths at point blank range?
And each one of those crusty-nosed darlings has two hands.
That’s 10 fingers. Ten little digits eagerly spreading their
viral payload to everything they touch. There are door-
knobs in public schools that could take down an Ebola
monkey. Remarkably, teachers, especially those with
years in the system, have developed incredibly
robust immune systems. It’s statistically mirac-
ulous how few of them get really sick in view of
what they have sprayed on them on a daily basis.
They are scientific and medical anomalies. I’ve always
felt that in the event of a nuclear or chemical attack,
only cockroaches and primary school teachers will
survive to repopulate the earth.
Living with one, however, provides
you with no such immunity. Quite the
contrary. Sharing a bed with one is tan-
tamount to lying down beside a small-
pox blanket. But nobody, as I say, tells
you this. And by the time you find
out, it’s too late. You’re already in
the ICU with her sitting at your
bedside, holding your hand and
complaining about the new cur-
riculum guidelines. Much has
been made about the number of
sick days afforded teachers. What I
find incredulous is not the number of
sick days they are given, but how few they
actually end up using. Teachers are a very
resilient lot. Not so, however, their feeble,
germ-riddled, unsuspecting partners.
To that end, may I put forth the idea
that teachers be able to keep all of their
allotted sick days, as long as they are trans-
ferable to the poor bastards they live with.

T eachers’ might found in immune systems
...Chatter on a recent car
crash, and some lingering
Facebook RANTs ...
Discussions recently have focused on a recent
rollover crash in Durham, and some shared
thoughts on things that drive our Facebook
friends CRAZY....
Lori-lolo Budd: That is a danger-
ous intersection. and with 2
schools within blocks it is scary.
Robyn Minnikin: You need to
report this properly. It wasn’t a sin-
gle car crash. It was a matter of a
woman texting and driving that ran
the red light and hit this mom and
child.
Lea Carter Adams: This was not
a single-vehicle accident, there
were two vehicles being taken
away on flat-bed tow trucks.
Gene Webb Samyn: This is what
happen when you text and drive,
my friend was in that car with her
child, stop this craziness people
DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE!!!!
Some recent RANTs...
Margaret Lintott: If your kid has
autism, you get tons of services,
but what if your kid has some
other mentally challenging thing?
Not much out there. The services
should depend on the level of disability, not the
name of the disability. Hey, maybe I could get my
kid labeled autistic too, she does some of those
autistic things at times..........
Craig Kelsey: The Town of Whitby
and their incredible debacle and
delay on getting Whitby an off-
leash dog park facility. This has
been going on since the 90’s and
STILL isn’t anywhere close to becoming reality.
We’re NOT looking for a toxic waste dump or land-
fill site...it’s a dog park for cryin’ out loud. Now they
say early 2013? How about an actual date Mayor
Perkins?!?!?!

On greetings during
the Christmas season:
The controversy during the holiday season....do you say Merry Xmas or Happy Holidays?? In my book it is MERRY CHRISTMAS as I celebrate my beliefs with an open heart. Do not judge or be offended as I respect
other faiths and traditons. Stop with the nastiness and negativity life is too short.
-- Cindy Chesney
On inconsiderate smokers:
The bus shelters say, “No Smoking” and people still insist
on smoking inside the bus shelters. At the Oshawa Center there are designated smoking areas, everyone
smokes everywhere but there. If you cannot handle smoking in the rain and really cold weather then stop smoking!
--Anna Farrow
On irresponsible pet owners:
People that leave their dogs in the car in the winter for hours at a time.
-- Debi David

Fire recruits share training
experience on Facebook
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- The driver of a mangled tan SUV sits safely
covered with a plastic sheet as Pickering’s newest firefight-
er recruits go to work breaking glass and cutting off the door
with the Jaws of Life.
Fortunately for the driver, there’s no rush, since he’s a train-
ing dummy and the wrecked vehicle sits in the parking lot of
Pickering’s Fire Station 2.
“This would be a side-impact type of accident where the
door is compromised and wouldn’t operate properly,” said
Jason Yoshida, training officer for Pickering Fire Services, who
has been training Pickering’s three new firefighter recruits for
the last five weeks.
Having already trained in search and rescue, ice and water
rescue, firefighter survivability, ladders and more, the recruits
are now familiarizing themselves with extraction tools includ-
ing the Jaws of Life, and have invited the News Advertiser
along. The hands-on training is part of an ongoing Facebook
initiative showcasing the training experience.
“It was different, I definitely wasn’t expecting it,” recruit
Mike Doherty said of sharing his experience online, noting
his friends and family loved it.
“It’s one thing for them to hear it from us, but being able
to have a visual and see what we’re going through is a whole
other thing.”
The initiative, online at www.facebook.com/Cityofpicker-
ing, was designed to give the public a peek into the day-to-day
realities of firefighters.
“We know the community loves our firefighters so it’s excit-
ing to show what it takes to become one of Pickering’s finest,”
said Julie Ineson, fire inspector.
“Usually when residents interact with firefighters it’s on the
worst day of their lives, so this is a nice way to let the commu-
nity know what we do and build a relationship.”
Part of that inside peek includes giving me a chance to play
firefighter by trying out the Jaws of Life, but first I have to look
the part.
For safety’s sake I suit up in everyday firefighter gear includ-
ing heavy boots, pants and jacket and a helmet, gloves and
safety glasses. The clothes are so heavy I’m having trouble
standing as Ms. Ineson points out a real firefighter would also
have an air tank and other equipment strapped on, which I
can’t even imagine.
Somehow I manage to remain upright and clomp my way
over to the training pad.
Mr. Yoshida invites me to grab the Jaws of Life, which I fool-
ishly reach for without thinking. Luckily, Mr. Doherty keeps a
firm grip on the expensive piece of equipment as I attempt to
grab it, only to discover it weighs almost as much as I do.
“It’s a bit heavier than it looks,” he says politely, taking over
my struggling efforts to reposition the tool and placing it
effortlessly in the empty window, with clamps on the bottom
and top of the frame. Once it’s in place I move the trigger to
separate the clamps, crushing the window outward to create
a gap along the side of the door.
“When it seems like it’s stopping, it’s just getting more
power,” Mr. Doherty said encouragingly as I hesitantly thumb
the trigger back and forth, starting at every pop of the crush-
ing metal as the hydraulics roar in my ear.
Once we create a wide enough gap, we can pry the door all
the way open to get at the hinges, which are cut and the door
removed entirely.
The method we used is just one of many that firefighters
learn to quickly extricate accident victims. In 2011 fire ser-
vices responded to 683 accidents, and Ms. Ineson estimates
some type of extraction tool was used in 50 per cent of those
incidents.
While the recruits won’t use the skills learned in train-
ing every day on the job, keeping sharp with different rescue
techniques is vital. “It’s one of those things where if you don’t
train regularly it’s really easy to get hurt,” Mr. Yoshida said.
“A lot of our training is just about being safe and being pre-
pared, so when these guys start they won’t be asking ques-
tions about how something works. They’ll know exactly what
to do and exactly where everything is.”
As for the recruits, they’re raring to go.
“I’m 100-per cent ready to get in that truck,” said recruit Dar-
ius Kharazmi.

How is your Personal
Property Insurance
written?
Is your home insurance coverage written under broad form or
comprehensive form? Do you know the difference? Broad form
coverage is all risk coverage on the building and named perils
coverage on the contents. Comprehensive form is all risk on
building and contents. Named perils coverage is just that, the
perils insured are stated (named) in your policy wordings. All
risk coverage does not mean any loss is covered, it means that
unless the loss is excluded it is covered. With broad form, you
look for what is covered. Under comprehensive Form, you look
for what is excluded.
Need a second opinion or a review of your coverage? Give our
office a call.Personal service makes a difference.

Wa tch Out For Ta x
Pitfalls When Giving
Children Money
Giving money to children is a great way to get them started along
the road to financial success, but it can complicate your tax life.
When you give children who are under 18 money to invest on
their behalf, you could end up paying tax on the income earned
by your gift.So-called first generation income will be attributed to
you for tax purposes.
For example, if you give your child $5,000 and it is invested in
a GIC that earns 5% interest each year, you’ll be liable for tax
on that $250 of annual income. However, you won’t pay tax on
second-generation income-in other words, the interest on the
interest earned by the GIC.
There is one significant exception:Attribution rules don’t apply to
capital gains,When you transfer an investment to a child or invest
on his or her behalf, any money made by selling that investment
for an increased price is taxable in the hands of the child.

Income is reported on Page 2 TI general. Residents of Canada must report
world income on their Canadian tax return.This means that any foreign income
must be converted to Canadian dollars before you record it on your return.
There are six income groups you may fall into.Yo u might be:
I. employed
2. a pensioner
3. a recipient of a reportable but non-taxable income (social assistance,
worker’s compensation, federal supplement)
4. an investor
5. self-employed
6. a recipient of other income, such as scholarship or tips
While income is usually the receipt of money, it can be receipt of items with
commercial value such as grain,gold ,shares or services.These types of income
may present a valuation problem.The taxpayer may have one value - Canada
Revenue Agency may offer a second opinion. Because the onus of proof is on
the taxpayer, be sure to record income correctly on the tax return.

DURHAM -- Starting Dec. 10 at the latest, all
public high school teachers across Ontario
will boycott extracurricular activities.
“Basically, at the grassroots level, the mem-
bers have told us they want a fight on Bill
115 and that’s what’s moving forward at this
point,” said Dave Barrowclough, District 13
(Durham) president of the Ontario Second-
ary School Teachers’ Federation of Ontario.
Teachers will also come to class just 15 min-
utes before it starts, as required in the Educa-
tion Act.
Bill 115 gives local school boards and teach-
er unions until Dec. 31 to sign new contracts,
which must be approved by the minister.
Mr. Barrowclough said since the bill also
allows the minister of education to end legal
strike action and to enact sanctions on an
employer -- which she hasn’t done yet but
has the power to do -- it leaves the union with
little room to fight the bill.
He understands parents and students will
be upset by extracurricular activities being
canceled, but hopes “students can under-
stand what we’re fighting for is democratic
rights.”
“We know it’s difficult to understand but
these are their future rights,” said Mr. Barrow-
clough.
In November, the Durham District School
Board and OSSTF District 13 signed a ten-
tative agreement, which requires approval
from the Province before it can be ratified by
local members. Mr. Barrowclough said while
Education Minster Laurel Broten called it
‘workable,’ the ministry removed a number
of terms.
“As far as we’re concerned, we don’t have a
tentative agreement because the government
has overwritten part of it since we signed,” he
said.
Secondary teachers in the Kawartha Pine
Ridge District School Board also reached a
tentative deal with their employer, but there’s
no word on the ratification. Ms. Broten said it
was workable as well.
Earlier Monday, the minister blasted the
Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontar-
io for planning one-day strikes throughout
December, and blamed union leaders for the
current strife.
“This has been and will continue to be
about the refusal of union leadership -- not
our teachers -- to accept a real pay freeze.
It’s the union leaders -- not our teachers --
who refuse to accept our shared fiscal reali-
ties,” she added, referring to the Province’s
$14.4-billion deficit.
However high school teachers in York
Region, Niagara and Hamilton voted down
the tentative agreements reached between
unions and the boards.
“Union leaders don’t vote in this,” Mr. Bar-
rowclough said. “It’s the members saying
‘this is unacceptable and we need to fight for
collective bargaining rights.’”
He said the OSSTF has done everything it
could to avoid the current situation.
“There’s an easy way to end this,” he said.
“Repeal the bill and allow us to bargain local-
ly with our employer. We can come to an
agreement.”
But not with the ministry’s constant inter-
ference, he added.
Ms. Broten said on Friday she has no plans
to repeal the bill.

Naturopathic medicine can be helpful to children with
ADD/ADHD and other behavioural and learning disorders. One of the simplest
things you can do is to change the lighting in your home and in your son’s school
to full spectrum lighting. Full spectrum lighting is a more natural light which
includes the full spectrum of light frequencies. In several research studies school
children exposed to full spectrum lighting in the schools showed better
concentration, reduced hyperactivity, better reading abilities and test results, as
well as faster growth, fewer absences dues to illness and 1/3 fewer tooth cavities.
Parents could lobby the schools to have the standard fluorescent lighting replaced
by full spectrum lighting, and parents can replace their lighting at home.

I would recommend a garage door winter
tune up. Quite often there is already a
need for one, but the cold weather
compounds everything. The door can be stiff and quite heavy
causing the door to not open or close properly. We use extreme
duty penetrants which help free everything. We will add tension to
your springs if necessary as well as tighten th

How to Maximize Your
Backyard Enjoyment
By: RONI CARLI
Recent studies indicate that an increasing number
of families are spending more time at home, and
as a result, are maximizing their backyard, transforming it into a cozy oasis
that can be enjoyed year-round. One component is the addition of a ‘hot tub
spa’‚ a catchall phrase covering any one of a number of jetted, heated, water-
filled tubs. From the ancient Romans’ healing baths to restorative hot
springs, the curative powers of water -- especially heated water -- have been
known and prescribed for centuries. Despite this fact, the serious benefits of
warm water therapy have only recently been addressed in the design and
manufacturing of hot tubs.
February is a great month to explore more of the benefits of hot tub spas and
why it would complement your own personal oasis.

Is high definition TV really
coming to take over from

By: LINDSAY LIPTON
YES! High definition TV (HDTV) is
now a reality. In York Region, all local cable companies
and satellite providers offer full time HDTV broadcasts.
In the U.S., the FCC has ordered all stations to be full-
time HDTV by 2006. It is a done deal!

Ajax boxer
improves to 8-0-0
despite switch to
different opponent
BRAD KELLY
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The end result was the same as
his previous seven fights, but the sto-
ryline leading up to it was far different
than anything Brandon Cook had expe-
rienced.
First the story in the ring, where Cook
continued to chalk up victories over his
opponents, this time earning a unani-
mous four-round decision over Junmar
Eamon in the co-main event at the Her-
shey Centre in Mississauga on Saturday
night.
Leading up to Saturday night, Cook
was slated to fight Beka Sutidze, of Kutai-
si, Georgia, who sported a record of
10-5-1. But when Sutidze failed to get on
the plane flight to come to Canada, Cook
was without an opponent.
“My promoters came into my hotel
room and told me my guy never got on
the plane, so I was rattled,” said the Ajax
fighter of the unexpected meeting on
Friday night around 10:30 p.m.
After talking it over with his promoter,
Tyler Buxton, and trainer, Mike Guyett,
they turned their attention to Eamon,
who was already slated to fight on the
undercard. Buxton paid the opponent
originally scheduled to fight Eamon his
purse money and flight home, essential-
ly not to fight, paving the way to guaran-
tee Cook an opponent.
“I didn’t even know I was going to
fight until 10:30 Saturday morning,” said
Cook. “All night I was tossing and turn-
ing trying to sleep. It was tough. It was
something I probably wouldn’t want to
do again.
“I didn’t want to let all my fans down.
There were too many people there for
me not to fight.”
All told, he had close to 400 family and
friends in attendance.
Once the fight began, Cook did enough
to impress, as all three judges scored
the fight 39-37 in his favour, with him
improving to 8-0-0 with four knockouts.
The website blog.canadianboxiana.com
said the fight was the best of the night.
Cook’s fight was originally scheduled
for eight rounds against Sutidze, but it
was reduced to just four rounds because
Eamon entered the ring at just 2-0-0.
Cook said he came out a little too fast
and strong, and in grading his perfor-
mance, wasn’t totally satisfied.
“I could have fought so much better,”
said the 26 year old. “I guess with every-
thing that happened it was a little over-
whelming. I could fight so much better
than I did. My feet were so flat it felt like I
was standing in cement.
“I’ve never felt like that before.”
Though he said it probably wasn’t the
best idea to fight considering the uncer-
tainty leading up to it, Cook was very
complimentary to his promoter and
trainer for doing some quick work to get
an opponent.
As for his next opponent, Cook is look-
ing to get something in Quebec in Feb-
ruary, with hopes of another fight in
March. Looking further down the road,
he is eyeing a Canadian title shot in June
against the winner of a January fight in
Halifax between Rory Coveney and Jor-
dan Clarke.
Shorter term, he was heading back into
the Ajax Boxing Club on Monday to help
work with some young boxers, taking it
easy for a couple of weeks, then jumping
back into training full time, noting that at
the level he is at now, training is a year-
round process.

Pickering Power
soccer player
leading scorer
for Fairleigh
Dickinson
University
SOMERSET, NEW JERSEY -- Bowman-
ville’s Rachel Hoekstra was named the
2012 Northeast Conference rookie of the
year after a stellar freshman season with
the Fairleigh Dickinson University wom-
en’s soccer team.
Hoekstra, a graduate of Clarington Cen-
tral Secondary School, also earned first-
team all-conference honours.
In her first season with New Jersey school,
Hoekstra’s nine goals ranked her second in
the league and first for Fairleigh Dickin-
son. She was also third on the circuit with
20 points and was the only freshman to be
named to the all-NEC first team.
It is the first time a Knight has been
named rookie of the year in program histo-
ry, and the first all-conference nod award-
ed since 2008.
Hoekstra’s impressive statistics leave a
mark in the FDU record books as she tied
the single-season record for goals and
broke the single-season record for goals
and points by a freshman. She was named
NEC rookie of the week twice.
Hoekstra was a member of the 2010
national champion Pickering Power Green
team under coach Paul Deabreu.
Hoekstra’s sister, Rebeccah, is also on a
soccer scholarship, and has been a starter
for four years at Sir Francis Marion Univer-
sity in South Carolina. She was captain of
the 2012 team.

RACHEL HOEKSTRA
Team leads
the league
with eight wins
on home ice
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- The Durham West Junior
Lightning should consider put-
ting a welcome mat outside the
front doors of the Ajax Commu-
nity Centre when opposing teams
arrive to play.
The gesture would be sincere,
as the Lightning love to be hosts,
though gracious hosts wouldn’t
be a term used to describe their
hospitality. The Lightning lead
the Provincial Women’s Hock-
ey League in home wins with
eight, the latest two coming on
the weekend in the form of a 3-0
shutout over Burlington on Satur-
day and a 3-1 victory over Kings-
ton on Sunday.
“We probably have the biggest
ice surface in the whole league.
Because we practise there three
hours a week, without question,
we tailor a lot of our stuff towards
that ice,” said head coach Wayne
McDonald. “We’d be disappoint-
ed if our home record wasn’t
good.”
Another of the contributing fac-
tors to the success on home ice
is the dressing room facility the
Lightning utilize. When the Tier II
junior Ajax Axemen merged with
the Pickering Panthers in 2010,
the Lightning moved into the per-
sonalized room vacated by the
Axemen.
The room provides a comfort-
able atmosphere for the players
before and after games.
“Without a question, it’s a fea-
ture we encourage with players
and recruits. We’re lucky as an
organization to have that,” said
McDonald, estimating that about
one-third of the league’s 20 teams
have their own dressing room.
“It’s great for the girls. They’ll
do their homework there dur-
ing the week. They have the cof-
fee machine, TV, stereo. They
arrive for games a couple of hours
before just to hang out.”
Saturday against Burlington,
Carly Marchment, Dakota Waites
and Kennedy Marchment did the
damage offensively, each scor-
ing a goal, while Jackie Rochefort
stopped all 16 shots to record her
third shutout of the season. The
shutout also lowered her goals
against average on the season to
1.11, moving her into top spot in
the league in that category.
“It does not surprise me at all,”
said McDonald. “We’re thrilled
for her. She’s playing great. She’s
playing as good as she’s ever
played. It’s her third year in the
league and she’s a very good goal-
ie.”
Rochefort has already commit-
ted to Nippissing University in
North Bay for next season.
On Sunday, the Lightning got
another strong goaltending per-
formance as Kassidy Sauve
stopped 16 of the 17 shots fired
her way in a 3-1 victory over
Kingston. Carly Marchment
scored twice, while Brittany St.
James added the other.
The wins improved the Light-
ning to 12-4-0-1 on the season
and moved them into a tie for
third place in the standings.
The Lightning get a break from
league play this weekend as they
head to Kitchener to play in a
Can/Am tournament that will
attract a number of university
scouts and recruiters. They will
play five games over the course of
the weekend against U.S. compe-
tition.
They will return to league play
with a game in Brampton on
Saturday, Dec. 15, followed by a
home game against Etobicoke on
Sunday, Dec. 16.

Panthers make another change in net
Team has ‘two
No. 1 goalies’ says
GM/head coach
Mike Galati
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- For the second week in a
row, the Pickering Panthers have found
themselves a No. 1 goalie.
After shuffling the deck recently by
acquiring JP Cesario and trading away
Spencer Bacon, the Panthers seemed to
be set in goal. Cesario was slated to fill
the No. 1 spot, while youngster CJ Sharp
would serve as the backup. But just a few
days later, another goaltender, Conor
Barrie, became available, and the oppor-
tunity to sign him was too much for Pan-
thers GM/head coach Mike Galati to pass
up.
“He came highly recommended from a
hockey friend that I trust and I was told
that if I had a chance to get him, then I
should. I was told the kid is the real deal,”
said Galati.
The move paid off immediately, as Bar-
rie backstopped the Panthers to a 3-2
win over division-leading Newmarket
last Thursday, stopping 36 of 38 shots,
including 20 in the third period alone.
He faced 30 shots on home ice Sunday
against Lindsay, but the outcome was far
different, as the Panthers lost 5-2 at the
Pickering Recreation Complex.
Barrie, a 19 year old from Vernon, BC,
played last season in the BCHL with the
Surrey Eagles where he posted a 6-3-1
record and .885 save percentage. He
started this season in the SJHL with the
Yorkton Terriers, collecting a pair of wins
in four outings with a 3.19 goals against
average and a .908 save percentage.
With Barrie now in the mix, it gives
Galati a one-two punch in goal. A No. 1
designation hasn’t been given to either
Barrie or Cesario just yet.
“We have two No. 1 goalies now,” said
Galati, adding that his staff was going to
discuss a goaltending rotation at Mon-
day’s practice.
To maintain the maximum roster of 23
players, the Panthers released Sharp, who
still has some midget eligibility remain-
ing, said Galati.
The loss to Lindsay was a disappoint-
ing one for the Panthers, who continue
to chase the Muskies for the eighth and
final playoff spot in the North East Con-
ference. A win by the Panthers could
have closed the points gap to 25-24 in
favour of Lindsay, but instead, the loss
stretched it to 27-22, with Lindsay hold-
ing three games in hand.
The game was tied at the midway mark
of the third period. Carlos Amestoy and
Matt Galati scoring in the first and sec-
ond period respectively for the Panthers
as the teams finished two periods tied
2-2. But Lindsay went ahead with 9:27
to go in the third on a power-play goal,
added another just over three minutes
later, and closed it out with an empty-net
goal with 51 seconds remaining.
The loss dropped the Panthers to 10-17-
2 on the season heading into Whitby last
night (after our print deadline) to face
the Fury.

In loving memory of a wonderful
husband, Dad & Grandpa
JOHN
SAVAGE
June 7, 1951 ~
December 5, 2011
If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you -
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times
life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today~
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.
Forever Loved
Wife Brenda,
Daughters
Kristy & Jason
Jen & Cat
and granddaughter
Avery
