PICKERING - A pair of pub- lic consultation meetings are scheduled as the city prepares to add a new community centre. Plans call for the Pickering Heritage and Community Cen- tre to be built on the Pickering Museum Village grounds in Greenwood, and it will have space for museum artifacts, a li- brary, a gym and rental space. Laura Gibbs, Pickering's su- pervisor of museum services, said the new building will serve as an "entryway to the village. The new building will sit on the museum site, the upper site." It will house collection stor- age, exhibit space and rental space, she said, noting that one feature is a heritage reading room.

PICKERING - Three people face charges after police seized weapons, in- cluding handguns and a stun gun Saturday at a resi- dence in Pickering. The seizures came as cops executed a search warrant arising from a weapons investigation, Durham police said. Found inside the Beechlawn Drive residence on Jan. 5 were prohibited .22 calibre and .32 calibre handguns, along with a stun gun baton. Facing weapons charg- es are Kurtis Mallette, 22, and 24-year-old Kody Mal- lette, both of Beechlawn Drive, Pickering, and Ami- rah Imran of James Govan Drive in Whitby. Kurtis Mallette also faces six counts of breach of recog- nizance.

Durham Regional Police Services photo DURHAM - The final RIDE statistics are in and it seems drivers aren't get- ting the news. The Durham Regional Police Service has complet- ed the 2018 Festive RIDE campaign and 117 motor- ists were arrested for drinking and driving of- fences during the seven- week campaign, which is five more than the 2017 ini- tiative. Also, 111 motorists regis- tered a warning and re- ceived a three-day licence suspension, and that's an increase over 2017 when 98 received a warning. In fact, all categories saw an increase in num- bers except one. Police stopped 25,110 vehicles, al- most double last year's to- tal of 12,593 vehicles. People given a roadside breath test rose to 875, up from 624, while novice drivers given a 24-hour licence suspen- sion increased to 25 from 22. Criminal Code charges rose to 241, compared to 153 last year. Motorists charged with various Highway Traffic Act offences increased to 489, up from 379. With marijuana legal- ized in October, the num- ber of Cannabis Act charg- es was 25, while 12 standard field sobriety tests were is- sued. There were no charg- es or tests done last year. The only category with a decrease were drug charges, with nine being laid, compared to 10 last year. A complete list of those charged with impaired driving/exceed the legal blood-alcohol limit will be posted on the DRPS web- site later this week at www.drps.ca, under Hot Topics. The final week saw RIDE checks in Ajax, Pick- ering, Uxbridge, Port Per- ry, Whitby, Oshawa and Newcastle and 12 people were charged with im- paired driving offences. RISE IN NUMBER OF IMPAIRED DRIVERS CHARGED IN DURHAM Durham Regional Police officers stopped motorists on Brock Street on Dec. 4 in search of drunk drivers during DRPS's annual Festive RIDE campaign. The campaign finished on New Year's Eve. In total 117 motorists were arrested for drinking and driving offences during the seven-week campaign, which is five more than the 2017 initiative.

It took more than five years to get results of tests on a pair of distinc- tive red jeans found in 1998, three years after the six - dubbed the Lost Boys -went missing, presum- ably after taking a late night joy ride on Lake On- tario, according to one survivor. "They got a significant amount of DNA from the jeans ... but it didn't match my brother," said Siobhan Boyle, whose 17- year-old brother Jay Boyle disappeared along with 18-year-old Chad Smith, Robbie Rumboldt, 17, of Pickering; 17-year- old Jamie Lefebvre from Scarborough; 17-year-old Michael Cummins of Osh- awa, and Danny Higgins, 17, of Ajax. It is believed the six stole a boat and a water tricycle from a marina, then took to the frigid wa- ters of Lake Ontario for an ill-fated joy ride. None have been heard from since. "It's kind of bitter- sweet," Siobhan Boyle said of the test results, gleaned from a pair of red jeans that were found in the Niagara River in 1998. The pants were similar to a pair Jay Boyle was be- lieved to have been wear- ing when he disappeared. Boyle's family knew the DNA testing was a long shot, but still hoped it may provide some an- swer to the lingering questions they have about what happened to Jay and his friends. Instead, all the family has is their on- going uncertainty. Siobhan had to break the news about the test to her mother, who longs for some sort of answer to the mystery. "She cried a bit," said Siobhan. "She wanted it to be him. But on the other hand, she was glad it wasn't him - there's still hope." Although she knew the testing may not yield any definitive answers for her and her family, Siobhan pressed the coroner's of- fice to conduct it - just in case. "It doesn't put us back any further than we were," she observed. She's disappointed it took years to convince au- thorities to do the testing. "It shouldn't have tak- en this long," Siobhan said. "It took five years to get an answer." DNA TESTING YIELDS NO NEW CLUES TO FATE OF PICKERING'S LOST BOYS Clockwise from top left: Ashley, Amanda, Siobhan and Sarah Boyle, with their father Michael Boyle, remembered Jay Boyle as families gathered recently to mark the 23rd anniversary of the six boys who went missing on Lake Ontario; OTTAWA -- Private investigator Bruce Ricketts has been looking into the case of the six teenage boys who went missing in 1995 in Pickering after a night of partying. Here he points to the pants that were found in the Niagara area in 1998, which Jay Boyle's family beleives could belong to him; Remains encased in a pair of red pants were found in the Niagara River in 1998. When Pickering teenager Jay Boyle went missing in 1995, he was wearing a pair of red Levi's jeans. Private investigator Bruce Ricketts and the family of Jay have been waiting for DNA results on the pants. Jason Liebregts / Metroland JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durham region.com NEWS Kristen Calis / Metroland Torstar photo PICKERING - A fire in the garage of a house on Chiron Crescent has forced a family out of its home. The blaze occurred at about 5:30 p.m. on Thurs- day, Dec. 27 and was con- fined to the garage, Steve Fowlds, the chief fire pre- vention officer for Picker- ing Fire Services, said. He noted the home- owner, who called in the fire, escaped with his young son and the family dogs. Firefighters contained the blaze to the garage, but Fowlds noted there's substantial smoke dam- age throughout the house. The home won't be hab- itable for some time, he noted, adding the damage estimate could be $400,000. Neighbours took the fami- ly in overnight. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation. "It appears accidental. It was in a corner with a lot of electrical equip- ment," Fowlds said. "This shows the impor- tance of having working smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and a family escape plan. The family did have working smoke alarms," Fowlds said. There were no injuries to firefighters or resi- dents. HOUSE UNINHABITABLE AFTER BLAZE IN PICKERING PICKERING - A fire in the garage of a house on Chiron Crescent has forced a family out of its home. The blaze occurred at about 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 27 and was confined to the garage, Steve Fowlds, the chief fire prevention officer for Pickering Fire Services, said.

Before you take on the task, be sure you know what’s involved. An executor is a legal representative named in a will to handle an estate when someone dies. It’s not a simple job. Here are a few of the duties of an executor.“ Find, read and interpret the will. • Consult with a lawyer and arrange court validation of the will, known as probate. • Help with funeral arrangements.“ Locate and deal with beneficiaries. • Prepare an inventory of the deceased’s assets and liabilities. • Deal with financial institutions.“ Distribute assets as specified in the will. • Pay debts and estate expenses. • File the deceased’s final income tax return. Some of these duties can require considerable financial acumen.And at the very least, people skills may be involved at a time when relatives are bereaved. If you’re not up to the job, don’t take it on.

OLG photo DURHAM - Durham po- lice have endorsed a call by a provincial law-enforce- ment association for a new law that would require On- tario motorists to prepay before filling up with gaso- line. So-called gas-and-dash incidents are on the rise, and a law mandating around-the-clock prepay- ment would help curb a "100 per cent preventable crime," according to the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police. The measure has long been supported by Durham police Chief Paul Martin. "We've been in favour of this for a long time," Dur- ham police spokesman Dave Selby said. "This is a completely preventable crime." In its call for action, the OACP cited statistics from a number of jurisdictions, including Durham, where incidents of people fleeing without paying for gas have been prevalent. Be- tween 2012 and 2018, Dur- ham police received more than 4,580 re- ports of such inci- dents, an average of 655 a year, accord- ing to the organiza- tion. The thefts en- danger workers and the public, and most of the time perpetrators get away with them, the OACP not- ed. "Police services across the province continue to al- locate resources to respond to these preventable crimes, impacting our abil- ity to respond to other com- munity priorities," said OACP president Chief Kimberley Greenwood. Prepayment technology is already in place at a ma- jority of gas stations in the province, Greenwood add- ed. Mandatory prepayment laws are already in effect in British Columbia and Al- berta, the OACP said.

I like the way all of the elements came together for the snowboarding picture. The athlete is po- sitioned nicely above the tree line at the peak of his jump. T he police coming out of the bush has a few in- teresting features. It's not often you see police walking around with their guns drawn like this but the situation called for it. I really like the look of the falling snow which is empha- sized by the use of a long lens. T he picture of report- er Parvaneh Pessian in the heated pool at the spa has a great feel to it. It was very early in the morning so I used the ris- ing sun to help show the steam and her silhouette. T he picture of the track athlete speaks to the amount of effort he exerted in the race. It was a 400m sprint that left him without enough en- ergy to stand after cross- ing the finish line. T he picture at the Osh- awa tent city is an eye opener. It's hard to imag- ine living in these condi- tions but some people call this place home.

JAN. 19 th OSHAWA - An Oshawa woman says a lung cancer screening program for longtime smokers may have saved her life. Jan Turcott, 72, found out about the screening program in April via an ar- ticle in Oshawa This Week. Through the program peo- ple aged 55 to 74 who smoked daily for at least 20 years - not necessarily con- secutively - could undergo a free CT scan at the Osha- wa hospital to check for lung cancer. She tore out the page and decided to see if she could participate in the program. "Since I'd been a smoker for almost 60 years, I had had a bit of a scare earlier in the year when I had a lump from my breast re- moved which was noncan- cerous ... my father died from lung cancer a long time ago, and I had smoked for a long time so I figured I would be high risk, which I was," said Turcott. She got the wheels in motion via her family doc- tor who referred her to La- keridge Health. The CT re- vealed a small lump on the bottom of her right lung and within a week she had an appointment with Dr. Armen Parajian, a thorac- ic surgeon at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. The lump was deemed to be cancer- ous. Turcott said she was up- set and had a good cry with her daughter. "When you get diag- nosed, it's very scary, my daughter was with me, we sat and had a bubble, but at that point you have to keep going forward," said Tur- cott. Parajian removed the eight-centimetre lump as well as nearby lymph nodes which were deemed to be clear. Because her cancer was caught early, Turcott did not have to undergo radia- tion or chemotherapy. Parajian explains that when it comes to lung can- cer, people who are able to have surgery have much better outcomes. In fact, the five-year sur- vival rate is 85 per cent of patients who can be treated with surgery with no can- cer spread to lymph nodes. But in many cases lung cancer is not caught early and the five-year survival rate for untreated lung can- cer is five per cent. "The North American data is 20 per cent of people with a new diagnosis of lung cancer have a surgi- cally treatable stage, which is very poor," explains Pa- rajian. Without the screening program, Turcott's cancer would not have been diag- nosed at an early stage as she didn't display any symptoms. "No doubt it would have progressed and spread and ultimately taken her life, how long that would take is hard to predict," said Para- jian. Up until October, about 1,200 people have been re- ferred to the screening pro- gram and Parajian said he has seen between 20 and 30 cases where lung cancer was caught early. There were also additional cases where the screening re- vealed cancer at a more ad- vanced stage. "I see at least two pa- tients a week through our high-risk program," he said. Still, there are many more Durham residents who could benefit from screening. "We have some of the highest incidence of smok- ers in the province, in our LHIN, our local health in- tegrated network," said Parajian. Turcott still smokes and is trying to quit, but it's a tough battle. She said she has found Lakeridge staff to be compassionate about the process. "The biggest thing that came through to me, every- one I interacted with or dealt with, they treated me with dignity and re- spect, there was no judgment like you've done this to yourself," she ex- plains. She encourages long- time smokers to speak with their family doctors about referring them to High Risk Lung Cancer Screening Pi- lot at Lakeridge Health or to call the screening pro- gram at 905-576-8711, ext. 4449 for information. LAKERIDGE HEALTH LUNG CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM SAVING LIVES BY DETECTING EARLY-STAGE CANCER Oshawa resident Jan Turcott was a smoker for 60 years when she saw a story in Oshawa This Week on lung cancer screening for longtime smokers. She ended up contacting the program and was eventually diagnosed with stage 1 lung cancer and was successfully treated with surgery.

The current situation with Ron Taverner - veter- an cop with the Toronto Police Service and would- be OPP commissioner - is a great reminder to me of two things: One, un- checked desires can lead us into things we can't handle and two, just be- cause something is of- fered to you doesn't mean you should take it. Taverner is a distin- guished police officer who's served with the To- ronto Police Service (TPS) for more than 50 years. He's 72 years old and has had no intention of retir- ing, although his current situation may cause him to reconsider. He recently rescinded his resignation as superintendent with the TPS after being ap- pointed as the new OPP commissioner in the fall. From the get-go, this appointment came into question because of Tav- erner's relationship to Premier Doug Ford. But with the discovery that he didn't initially qualify for the position, and that a new job posting had low- ered the qualifications, suspicion grew and right- ly so. Former acting OPP commissioner Brad Blair requested the Ontario ombudsman conduct a probe into the hiring of Taverner, but when that request was declined, he went to the courts to have the ombudsman follow through. Regarding Blair, Ford said, "I get it that he's up- set he didn't win a fair process. I understand. Did he step over the line on a lot of things? I'm going to let the media decide that and I wish you would look into that," he said. And with that, we have the premier making an appeal to the media. What a mess! Some might say Taverner didn't know this was going to happen. But this is what can happen when you can't say no to yourself and others. This is what can happen when ambition rules over wis- dom. Now because of this he's referred to as Ford's longtime friend instead of who he is and his own track record; because of this, he's neither here nor there. He's back with the TPS, but is he really there? This should have been the time when Tav- erner finished one season strong in order to begin another - perhaps not re- tirement, but not this ei- ther. I hope he's gained clar- ity over the holidays and if by returning to the TPS he is withdrawing his name as the next OPP commissioner, this should be clearly stated. If not, heaven help him and us. -Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is passionate about truth in current affairs.

There is always a sense of excite- ment and anticipation when the new year rolls around, and 2019 is no ex- ception! So many great events are happening in Durham Region this year, in addition to the many at- tractions, venues and ac- tivities that are ready for you to discover. In just a few short weeks, the Durham Re- gion 2019 Ontario ParaS- port Games begin. From Feb. 8 to 10, you have the unique opportunity to ex- perience the #paramazing athletes of Ontario com- pete in 11 sports across our region. You can visit DurhamRegion2019.ca for more information on the parasports, venues and how you can get involved. When asked what they miss the most, former pro- fessional athletes, Olym- pians and Paralympians often respond, "The roar of the fans in the stands." We want the athletes com- ing to compete in the Dur- ham Region 2019 Ontario ParaSport Games to expe- rience this roar, and we want you to be part of it! Schools, classrooms, teams, clubs, workplaces, churches and community groups of any kind are in- vited to adopt a team and become their fan club. To adopt a team, email effy@organizethat.ca and she will help you pick a team or athlete that your group can adopt. Your group can then write let- ters of encouragement for the teams and athletes to be delivered when they ar- rive for the Games. Once the games arrive, fill the stands when your team and athletes are compet- ing (you'll receive a copy of their schedule). Help make these Games one of the most memorable for our visiting athletes. Be the roar! Before the Games ar- rive, take some time to en- joy winter in Durham. January is a wonderful time of year to experience snow sports in Durham. Take advantage of those sunny days and enjoy the crisp winter air as you hit the local slopes, trails and rinks for a fun winter ad- venture. Once the ice fish- ing season opens, Lake Simcoe and Lake Scugog become ice fishing villag- es adorned with huts, and the possibility of catching the famous jumbo perch is always a "lure." After a day outside, head indoors to relax at one of the many fine bistros, bakeries, ca- fés or local breweries. There's so much more to explore in Durham! For more ideas on what to do this month, check out our event calendar on Dur- hamTourism.ca; sign up for our monthly e-news- letter; connect with us on Twitter @DurhamTour- ism; or visit us on Face- book at Facebook.com/ DurhamTourism. -Brandon Pickard is the manager of tourism for the Region of Dur- ham.
