DURHAM - Durham commut-
ers shouldn't worry that the GO
train won't come to Bowman-
ville, but plans for how the new
stations will be built, and when
service begins, may be complete-
ly reconfigured - that's the sub-
text of the carefully-worded mes-
saging from Metrolinx on the
current status of plans to build
new GO train stations in Oshawa
and Clarington.
"Metrolinx is committed to
continuing to improve service to
our customers in Durham Re-
gion," said Metrolinx spokes-
person Nitish Bissonauth via
email.
The plan - announced in June
2016 by the former Liberal Onta-
rio government and Metrolinx -

DURHAM - Reviewing
regional government is
about keeping an election
promise.
Rod Phillips, the MPP
for Ajax and the minister of
Environment, Conserva-
tion and Parks, said in an
interview: "It's been 50
years since the regions
were put in place. They
have served a lot of func-
tions, but after we were
elected, we said we'd take a
look at what's working and
what's not working."
He said he's spoken to
Durham Regional chair-
man John Henry, Ajax
Mayor Shaun Collier and
Pickering Mayor Dave
Ryan about the review.
"I think there's a real
open mind in terms of the
local municipalities. Peo-
ple in Durham aren't afraid
to try to make sure we get
the best value," Phillips
said.
Another aspect of the re-
view is what the province is
doing, he added.
"How we interface with
municipalities and are we
being effective and effi-
cient, and we're not hold-
ing up growth and other
things people think are im-
portant," he said.
Phillips isn't concerned
with the short time frame
for the consultations.
"I'm confident with the
quality of people we have -
former Waterloo chair Ken
Seiling and former deputy
minister Michael Fenn.
They will be thorough. It's
what the minister talked
about when he came to
AMO (Association of Mu-
nicipalities of Ontario). We
want to make sure the min-
ister can talk to all the rep-
resentatives. We want to
talk clearly about what
we've learned and what
that could mean," Phillips
said.
"But, it's a consultative
process; it's very much a
two-way discussion. It's
very much about a new re-
lationship we are trying to
have with municipalities,"
he said.
As for possible amal-
gamations, Phillips said,
"It's not in any way an ex-
plicit objective of this. Ob-
viously, we don't know
what the people are going
to say. We'll be taking with
municipal leaders, and so I
guess we'll hear what mu-
nicipal leaders have to say."
The review will include
consultations with munici-
pal officials, stakeholder
groups and the public, and
it will be done during the
spring of 2019.
In addition to Durham,
other Regions in the review
include Halton, Muskoka
District, Niagara, Oxford
County, Peel, Waterloo and
York, along with Simcoe
County, and all the lower-
tier municipalities in each
region.
In making the an-
nouncement, the govern-
ment noted, "The govern-
ment is committed to un-
dertaking a review of re-
gional government and
Simcoe County to help en-
sure that the upper- and
lower-tier municipalities
in these geographic areas
are efficient and account-
able to their residents and
businesses."
The mandate of the ad-
visory body is to make rec-
ommendations to the gov-
ernment on opportunities
to improve regional gover-
nance and service delivery.
That includes how well the
upper- and lower-tier mu-
nicipalities work together,
whether the two-tier struc-
ture is efficient and if the
size and structure of a re-
gional council serve the
public well.
"I can't imagine trying
to combine a large part of
the province into a man-
ageable area," noted Dur-
ham Region chairman
John Henry.
Rumours swirl at
Queen's Park that Durham,
York and Peel could be
amalgamated. Henry, who
won the chairman's posi-
tion this past October, not-
ed that area would be big-
ger than Prince Edward
County.
"I can't imagine adding
Durham to neighbouring
regions."
Henry noted regional
governments are not al-
lowed to run deficits and al-
ready send their budgets to
the province for review.
"To drop this announce-
ment as we are doing our
budget is very interesting,"
said Henry.
He did not oppose the
consultation but noted any
review must include the
voters.
"If you want to have a di-
alogue about regional gov-
ernments, that's OK. But
you have to consult the
public."
Pickering Mayor Dave
Ryan wasn't surprised by
the provincial announce-
ment.
"It's been forecast for
some time. The premier
mentioned it at AMO (As-
sociation of Municipalities
of Ontario)," Ryan noted.
When Premier Doug
Ford announced he was
unilaterally shrinking the
size of Toronto council, he
added a review of regional
government was also going
to be undertaken.
"We'll fully participate.
It's a provincial initiative,
and it will make us all take
a hard look at what we're
doing," the Pickering may-
or added.
One concern Ryan has is
the possibility of regions or
municipalities in regions
being amalgamated.
"Anecdotally, they
haven't created great sav-
ings. There's turmoil and
angst. There's no public ap-
petite for amalgamation,"
Ryan stated.
One aim could be to im-
prove municipal perfor-
mance, he said.
"It doesn't matter where
you are and what you're do-
ing, there's always an op-
portunity to improve,"
Ryan said.
Recommendations from
the review panel are due by
the summer.
Durham council, in the
previous term, did a review
of its composition and re-
duced the number of coun-
cillors in Oshawa by two, to
five, while giving one more
to both Ajax and Whitby.

DURHAM - The director
of a police oversight body
has terminated an investi-
gation into a fatal crash
that occurred last month in
Pickering after a motorist
sped away from a police of-
ficer.
The OPP officer in-
volved in the incident was
not actively pursuing the
suspect vehicle when it was
involved in a high-speed
crash with a courier truck
on Dec. 1, 2018, Special In-
vestigations Unit Director
Tony Loparco concluded.
"The officer who was in-
vestigating the vehicle nev-
er engaged in a pursuit. In
fact, at the time of the colli-
sion, the officer was parked
approximately two kilo-
metres away and was in
contact with the Provincial
Communications Centre,"
Loparco said in his report,
released Jan. 15.
The crash killed the 22-
year-old driver of the sus-
pect vehicle and left the
courier driver, 36, serious-
ly injured. The identities of
the drivers involved were
not released.
The incident began
when an OPP officer began
following a car that was
speeding on Hwy. 407 near
Brock Road, reported the
SIU. The cop was instruct-
ed not to chase the vehicle
and to pull over, the agency
found.
About five minutes later
the officer found the crash
scene involving the suspect
vehicle and the Purolator
truck on Brock Road.
The SIU, which investi-
gates incidents of serious
injury, death and allega-
tions of sexual assault in-
volving police, invoked its
mandate to investigate. Lo-
parco's finding that the offi-
cer was not involved in a
pursuit at the time of the
crash resulted in that inves-
tigation being terminated.

KILLED SUSPECT DRIVER IN PICKERING: SIU

DURHAM - A man being
investigated for the death
of his wife had his passport
seized by police, moments
before he was to board a
private jet bound for Flori-
da, a jury has heard.
After that development
David Knight continued
his efforts to leave the
country, going so far as to
apply for a British pass-
port, jurors hearing his
murder trial heard Thurs-
day.
David Knight, 46, has
pleaded not guilty to first-
degree murder, arson and
conspiracy to commit mur-
der in the death of his wife,
39-year-old Carmela
Knight. The Crown alleges
David hired an acquain-
tance, Graham MacDon-
ald, to carry out the killing.
Carmela's body was
found in the burned-out ga-
rage of her home on Peb-
blestone Crescent in Pick-
ering on the evening of
Sept. 15, 2014. Carmela was
in the process of divorcing
David after discovering
he'd been engaged in a
long-standing affair with a
woman in Florida, court
has heard.
As they investigated the
killing, Durham police ob-
tained authorization to
conduct surveillance, in-
cluding wire taps on Da-
vid's phone. So police were
listening in early Decem-
ber of 2014 as he arranged
to travel to Florida - where
he had put in an offer on a
house - with his children
and parents.
David had arranged
commercial flights for the
others but was having trou-
ble finding accommoda-
tions for the family dog. So
he hired a private jet, at a
cost of $15,000, and was set
to depart 10 days before
Christmas Eve.
Bassam Al-Sarraj, who
provides private jet servic-
es, showed up at Pearson
airport that day to meet Da-
vid. He testified Thursday
that he was surprised to
find two Peel Region police
officers waiting in the de-
parture area, and even
more intrigued when he
heard one of the officers
announce David was five
minutes from the airport.
"I thought, whoa:
They're tailing this dude,"
Al-Sarraj testified.
The plot thickened
when David arrived and an
officer announced he was
confiscating his passport,
Al-Sarraj said.
"(David) said, 'why?'
And the police officer said,
'you know why,'" he testi-
fied. "We were all kind of
dumbfounded."
His flight plans scuttled,
David left the airport and
later told Al-Sarraj in a
phone conversation he
must have been mistaken
for someone else.
"I haven't done any-
thing," he insisted on a
wiretap clip played in
court.
David was not refunded
the $15,000 he'd paid in ad-
vance for the flight, court
heard.
Jurors heard other
wiretaps Jan. 10 in which
David made inquiries
about his passport, which
he had been ordered to sur-
render to authorities by
Dec. 18. In one call he asked
a Service Canada agent if
he was able to use the pass-
port prior to that date.
"If you try to travel with
that passport it will be
seized," the agent informed
him.
Jurors also heard evi-
dence that soon after re-
ceiving that news David
started the process of ap-
plying for a British pass-
port.
The trial continues in
Oshawa.

PICKERING - Stay off
the ice!
That's the message
Pickering Fire Services is
giving residents, as the
lake and local watercours-
es are not completely fro-
zen. That means ventur-
ing out under any circum-
stances is unsafe.
The service is also urg-
ing parents to educate
their children about being
around bodies of water
and the dangers of thin
ice.
The ice is currently un-
stable, making it hazard-
ous to skate, walk, play,
ice fish, snowmobile or
drive on.
Anyone venturing out
onto ice are putting them-
selves and responding
emergency service per-
sonnel in danger.
Safety tips the service
suggests people follow in-
clude taking into consid-
eration recent changes in
the weather, going with a
friend and telling some-
one where you are going
and what time you are ex-
pected back. You should
also carry a cellphone in
case of an emergency.
If you are by yourself
and fall through thin ice,
call for help. Don't try to
climb back out from
where you fell in, as the ice

tions (two in Oshawa, one
in Courtice and one in
Bowmanville), a bridge
over Highway 401, a CP cor-
ridor expansion, three
grade separations (two
road-to-rail, one rail-to-
rail), 14 bridge expansions,
nine level crossing modifi-
cations (seven of which are
in Clarington) and a new
layover facility.
The approach has
changed, explained Bisso-
nauth. A new market-
based approach means
that Metrolinx is looking
to partner with developers
to create new transit infra-
structure; the rationale is
it could mean better de-
signed stations at a much
lower expense for taxpay-
ers.
"The approach means
that the delivery process
for new GO stations has
changed and we will work
with Durham Region, mu-
nicipalities and develop-
ment partners to deter-
mine where there are op-
portunities for third party
investment to deliver
them," said Bissonauth.
However it does raise
questions about whether
it's still possible to meet
the previously-promised
2024 date for service to
start in Bowmanville; Met-
rolinx explained that time-
lines will vary when the
projects include a third
party.
"We understand the
provincial government is
reviewing the whole pro-
cess, we understand
they're looking at a differ-
ent business model, we
don't have a problem with
that," said Oshawa Mayor
Dan Carter. "What we're
saying is money has been
allocated with regards to
starting this project, [so]
let's get the project going,
let's move this project for-
ward. We understand
you're looking for third-
party with regards to in-
tensification around GO
stations and we're OK with
that, we want to enjoy that
aspect of it and really en-
courage that, but let's get
this project moving for-
ward, it's too important to
the community."
Since the review was
announced, the Region of
Durham, Clarington, Osh-
awa and Whitby have been
looking for some indica-
tion that there is still a
commitment to extend the
GO train service east to
Oshawa and Bowmanville.
Local municipal govern-
ments have been waiting
for almost 30 years for a
Lakeshore East extension -
in 2016 they got tired of
waiting, and undertook an
independent study to de-
velop a business case for
the expansion. Highlights
of the economic analysis
indicate that the GO rail
expansion would generate
$1.1 billion in transit-ori-
ented development in the
area and create a projected
21,000 jobs.
"We want to reiterate
how important this project
is for Durham Region, our
residents, the economy
and way of life. We are
committed to working with
the provincial government
and Metrolinx on this pro-
ject," Durham Regional
Chair John Henry said in a
letter to the minister of
transportation, signed by
the mayors of Clarington,
Oshawa and Whitby. "We
are confident that we have
a strong business case that
demonstrates the monu-
mental impact this exten-
sion will have on this part
of Ontario."
Transportation Minis-
ter Jeff Yurek told This
Week via email that the
government is expanding
GO service and making it
easier for commuters and
transit users to move
around the Greater Toron-
to Hamilton Area - when
asked about a rumour that
plans had been cancelled
to build a new rail bridge
over Hwy. 401, he said no
decision has been made.
Yurek added that local
members of provincial par-
liament Lindsey Park and
Lorne Coe are strong pro-
ponents for transit expan-
sion in the area.
"During the election
campaign we, as Progres-
sive Conservatives, made a
promise to the people of
Durham in our Plan for the
People. We promised that a
Doug Ford-led Ontario PC
Government would deliver
two-way, all-day GO ser-
vice expansion to Bow-
manville," said Park in a
letter to Yurek. "As the
Durham MPP, I feel it is in-
cumbent on me to ensure I
do everything I can to keep
this promise top-of-mind
for our government and
help ensure our Govern-
ment for the People ho-
nour this promise."
Clarington Mayor Adri-
an Foster said that it would
be nice if there was a clear-
er dialogue on the future of
the local GO train expan-
sion for Durham munici-
palities and residents. He
said that he's getting con-
flicting signals - not all of
them positive - and some
clarity on the timeline for
expanded service would be
deeply appreciated.
"As you build stations,
you get density around
them ... The business com-
munity continues to be ex-
ceptionally supportive [of
expansion]," said Foster.
"There's huge excitement
with the train coming."
The Bowmanville ex-
tension, new GO stations
and any new transit infra-
structure are subject to a
business case and benefits
analysis, explained Bisso-
nauth. He added that once
the business case has gone
through government ap-
proval, Metrolinx looks
forward to providing their
partners in the Durham
Region with a technical
briefing to review the find-
ings; no time frame was
provided.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY
A provincewide change in the approach for any new transit infrastructure
was announced; it was unclear how that would impact the midstream
plans to extend the GO train service east in Durham. This Week went
looking to clarify and found politicians optimistic but uncertain of the
plans for expansion, and Metrolinx reassuring that better service is
moving ahead - but the way things are approved has changed.
Lindsey Park, MPP for Durham riding, says she is keeping GO
expansion to Bowmanville top of mind because that’s what her
party campaigned on during the election.

I’ve been an orthotic wearer for the past ten years and I need to replace them as they have lost their stiffness.
My last two pair of orthotics were fabricated from a plaster cast impression of my feet. I now see some offices
using other impression techniques such as carbon imprints, semi weight-bearing foam box impressions and
full weight-bearing computer gait analysis. Is there really a difference?
Dear Read: Thanks for the letter. We have not addressed orthotics yet in any of our articles. The term
orthotics comes from the Greek work Ortho which means straighten. Thus, an orthotic will straighten or align
a fool deformity.
Orthotics are fitted to the patients’ foot and, when worn in shoes, will redistribute the patient’s weight on the
foot so that their gait is more balanced and abnormal motions are controlled. This will allow the patient to
function more comfortably.
Orthotics are made out of many different types of materials of varying flexibility (soft, semi-soft, or rigid)
thicknesses and shock absorbing abilities. We, as podiatrists, take into account the age and weight of the
patient, the activity the orthotic is to be used for and the shoe type it is worn in. It is not uncommon for a patient
to have two pairs of orthotics, one pair for athletic shoes and the other for fashionable shoes. The athletic
orthotic is bulkier broader and more cushioned. It is better suited for wearing when exercising. The thinner
orthotic, usually the newer graphite material is better suited for inserting into tighter fitting dress shoes.
The type of medical problems that can be eased by the use of the orthotics are numerous, but must occur as
a result of a foot that has a weaker arch ( flatter foot) causing the foot to pronate or roll into arch. This type of
motion can lead to arch pain, shin splints, planter fasciitis, knee, hip, and lower back pain to name a few. The
impression taking technique, like the foundation of a house is most important to achieving a positive orthotic
result. The preferred method and the one that I use in my office is to take a plaster NON WEIGHT-BEARING
cast of the patient’s foot. This will give the exact position before it has collapsed. Avoid foam box impressions
as they collapse the arch somewhat and it is more difficult to achieve the neutral position. Don’t be fooled by
the high tech illusion of computerized gait analysis. This looks state-of-the-art but again the arch is collapsed
and weight bearing.
No one in the health profession sees more feet than a podiatrist and therefore no one is better trained to treat.
Many other professionals, as well as retailers, are “selling” orthotics. Know to ask the right questions, including
what impression technique is used. The practitioner prescribing orthotics must possess the following qualities:
1. The practitioner must have a detailed understanding of the fabrication foot orthotics from start to finish
and must understand how errors in the cast can affect the shape and function of the orthotic.
2. The practitioner must be able to treat the patient as an entirely, not the foot.
3. Finally and most importantly, the practitioner must understand the biomechanics of the lower extremity
and how to adjust or modify the orthotic after it’s dispensed.
While attending a biomechanical seminar in Montreal, a study was presented explaining the merits and long
term benefits of a plaster cast impression. The percentages of relief of symptoms realized by the patient
with orthotics done from a plaster cast outweighed the results achieved with a foam box impression or
computer imagery.
Orthotics although, not covered by OHIP, are usually covered by most extended health plans. Know the
restrictions of your plan. Some may only pay when a plaster cast is taken. Other plans may only cover the cost
of the treatment if it is provided by a podiatrist. If you are unsure about the quality of care, make some phone
calls. Most podiatry offices will be more than helpful in explaining their office policy with regards to orthotics.
If you have any questions you would like answered, please send it to ASK THE PODIATRIST, C/O The NEWS
ADVERTISER.

AJAX - A 41-year-old
Ajax man is facing several
weapons charges after a
man was seen waving a
knife at people at the Ajax
GO Train station on Satur-
day afternoon.
Police were called to the
train station at about 4:25
p.m. on Jan. 12 for reports
that a man was wielding a
box-cutter knife and "ag-
gressively" approaching
people, trying to engage
them in a fight.
Police said people on the
train platform fled to a
stairwell and held the door
closed - and that the sus-
pect tried to forcefully open
it.
When police arrived,
the man was pacing in the
bus loop area. He became
aggressive when police ap-
proached him and a Taser -
also known as a conductive
energy weapon - was used.
Paul Lefebvre of Pitt-
man Crescent in Ajax is
charged with carrying a
concealed weapon, posses-
sion of a weapon danger-
ous to the public peace and
assault with a weapon.
He was held for a bail
hearing.
Anyone with new infor-
mation about this investi-
gation is asked to call po-
lice at 905-579-1520 ext. 2303
or make an anonymous tip
to Crime Stoppers at
www.durhamregional-
crimestoppers.ca or 1-800-
222-8477.

'Fatty' and 'Gem,' she
called them - two hum-
mingbirds coming to Lin-
da Johnston's feeders in
Goderich well into No-
vember, long past flower-
ing time in southern On-
tario. So, she rigged up a
couple of heat lamps to
keep the nectar from
freezing and to provide
warmth for two tiny birds
a heck of a long way from
the tropics.
Fatty, a ruby-throated
hummer, was twice as big,
so Linda figured Gem
must be a rufous hum-
mingbird or an Allen's -
rare visitors to Ontario
that sometimes make the
mistake of migrating east
from their breeding range
in B.C., instead of south to
Mexico. But when a friend
emailed Glenn Coady of
Whitby a photo to ID, the
expert birder instantly
recognized it as a calliope,
the tiniest bird in North
America and the smallest
long-distance migrant in
the world.
Huge excitement broke
out, with birders every-
where eager to see the cal-
liope, the first record for
eastern Canada - but the
only place to see it was in
Linda's very private and
secluded backyard. Both
hummingbirds obviously
knew a good thing when
they found it, and didn't
stray far from the plush,
cosy, comfortable accom-
modations that she pro-
vided.
With great diplomacy,
Glenn encouraged her to
cordon off a route around
the house and a sheltered
watching area, and sug-
gested to visitors from
near and far that they
make a small contribu-
tion to help cover her hy-
dro and lawn repair costs.
Win-win for everyone - in-
cluding the calliope, when
the bossy, domineering
ruby-throat put on
enough weight to take off
for the Yucatan; with has-
sle-free access to both
feeders, Gem started get-
ting fat, too.
But would the tiny
stranger in a strange land
survive winter's icy grip?
I waited breathlessly for
the end of the story, which
Glenn shared in an email:
"The calliope humming-
bird found sufficient in-
sect protein to successful-
ly hypertrophy its breast
muscles, and stored
enough glucose as a thick
fat layer, to fuel a resump-
tion of its fall migration. It
made good its escape on
the morning of Nov. 29, at
the beginning of a four-
day mild spell with no in-
clement weather to the
south to navigate
through. Hopefully by
now it has already
crossed the Rio Grande on
its way to south-central
Mexico."

AJAX - Officers inves-
tigating a report of a fraud
at an Ajax bank Thursday
evening wound up being
involved in a chase that
ended with the apprehen-
sion of a suspect who fled
into a wooded area.
The incident began
around 5:20 p.m. Jan. 10
when staff at a Bank of
Nova Scotia on Raven-
scroft Road determined a
man was trying to imper-
sonate an account holder,
Durham police said.
When an officer stopped a
suspect vehicle nearby a
passenger in the car be-
came evasive, then swat-
ted the cop's hand away
and ran off into traffic,
police said. It's alleged the
man also tried to strike
the officer with the car
door.
The man ran off toward
a wooded area; the opera-
tor of the car drove off, po-
lice said.
As a search for the man
ramped up, officers on the
ground were joined by a
canine team and the Air 1
helicopter. After less than
an hour, he was appre-
hended.
Mouhammad Moun-
kaila, 23, of Laval, Que., is
charged with personation
to gain advantage and as-
saulting a police officer.

TORONTO - Toronto police have arrest-
ed a 25-year-old man and released a photo
of the remaining suspect, an Ajax man,
wanted in connection with a dramatic
shootout in the city's east end on Jan. 4.
Shortly before 2:30 a.m., officers re-
sponded to a shooting near Walpole and
Greenwood avenues.
A grey Nissan Altima and a red Nissan
Altima were parked in the area with "a
number of occupants inside," when an un-
known man approached on foot and began
shooting at both vehicles, police said in a
news release Friday.
The people inside the vehicles shot back
at the man, police said. As the suspect
started to run away the two cars pursued
him. An exchange of gunfire continued as
he ran down Walpole Avenue, police said.
A man in one of the cars was shot and
made his own way to hospital, police said.
Steven Karapetrov, 25, of Toronto, was
arrested and charged with unlawful pos-
session of a firearm, pointing a firearm,
possessing a weapon dangerous to public
peace, using a firearm to commit an indict-
able offence, discharging a firearm with
intent, conspiracy to commit murder, oc-
cupying a motor vehicle with a firearm
and attempted murder. He is scheduled to
appear in a Toronto court on Jan. 22 at 10
a.m. Police are searching for Benvolio Va-
lenski, 27, of Ajax. He is wanted for the
same eight charges, as well as two counts
of failing to comply with recognizance.
Police believe he is violent, armed and
dangerous and are asking anyone who lo-
cates him to call 911 immediately.
Anyone with information about this in-
cident is asked to contact police at 416-808-
5500 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously
at 416-222-8477 (TIPS).

OSHAWA - A police
pursuit that began when a
man shoved an officer and
ran off early Tuesday in
Oshawa led to the arrest of
a suspect wanted on sev-
eral outstanding war-
rants.
A police dog helped
track down the suspect,
who fled after giving a
false name to officers in-
vestigating a dispute near
a residence on Tresane
Street at about 4 a.m. Jan.
15, Durham police said.
When officers ascer-
tained the man's real iden-
tity he pushed an officer
and fled on foot, police
said.
K-9 dog Flex joined the
hunt and quickly helped
apprehend the suspect,
who sustained minor inju-
ries. Police soon learned
the suspect was wanted on
warrants in three juris-
dictions in the GTA.
Jeffrey Fisher, 32, of
Breckenridge Drive,
Markham, was charged
with obstructing police
and escaping lawful cus-
tody. He was arrested by
York Regional Police.

DURHAM - A local thea-
tre group's second play of
the season is a "powerful
comedy about social poli-
tics," says director Carolyn
Wilson. Durham Shoe-
string Performers (DSP)
presents George F. Walk-
er's Love and Anger at Osh-
awa's Arts Resource Cen-
tre, 45 Queen St., Oshawa.
"As a corporate lawyer,
Peter Maxwell helped rich,
greedy and often corrupt
winners maintain their
privileged status atop the
downtown towers, but af-
ter a major life shakeup,
he's had enough of en-
abling the one per cent,"
she states. "Now, as Petie,
Maxwell reorients his ca-
reer to a low-rent basement
office from which he is de-
termined to undermine the
power disparities that ruin
life for his new clients. In
Walker's comedy, margin-
alized women lead the rally
for renewal and challenge
the insanity of the status
quo with riotously funny,
absurdly logical tactics
that always question who
controls the future at the
most important level -
managing the anxieties of
daily life."
Love and Anger fea-
tures Nancy Gleed of Ash-
burn as Eleanor, Margo
Rodgers and David Dren-
nan of Whitby as her sister
Sarah and Babe Conner, re-
spectively, Laka Ford-Wil-
liams of Oshawa as Gail
and Greg White of Brook-
lin as Sean Harris.
See the play Jan. 18, 19,
23, 24, 25 and 26 at 8 p.m.
Love and Anger con-
tains strong language and
is recommended for teen-
agers and adults.
Tickets are $15 and are
available by contacting
dsp@durhamshoe-
string.org or 905-725-9256.
Next up for DSP, and its
last play of the 2018/19 sea-
son, is Tomcat, which
opens on March 22.

shoestring.org.

PICKERING - Brennan
Othmann and Liam Arns-
by have been through
many hockey highs togeth-
er, but it's the low point of
their lives that has served
for inspiration to make the
most of what they have
right now.
And what they have
right now is extremely spe-
cial, not only with the Don
Mills Flyers minor midget
team, but with their pend-
ing trip to Red Deer to play
for Ontario at the Canada
Winter Games Feb. 15 to
March 3.
Othmann, from Picker-
ing, and Arnsby, from
Ajax, are two of five play-
ers who will make the trip
to Alberta from the Don
Mills team, which suffered
a tragedy that had the po-
tential to rip it apart. Last
season, goalie Roy Pejci-
novski, also from Ajax,
was murdered, along with
his younger sister Vana
and their mother, Krissy.
The players on the team
were stricken with grief, of
course, but they also ral-
lied behind each other and
honoured their fallen
friend by going undefeated
the rest of the season and
winning a provincial
championship.
"Ever since then, it be-
came a brotherhood," ex-
plains Othmann. "Every-
one talks to each other ev-
ery day. None of us leaves
anyone out. We're always
texting each other. I think
that's what makes our
team so successful is the
brotherhood and the trust
we have in each other."
"I'd say we're more of a
family than a team," Arns-
by agreed. "We just bond
together better than other
teams, I think."
The success on the ice
has very much carried
over to this season, an im-
portant one for the group
of mostly 15 year olds.
In their final year be-
fore the Ontario Hockey
League (OHL) draft, the
F lyers have been the No. 1
ranked team all season
with 56 wins, four ties and
just one defeat - a 5-4 over-
time loss to Detroit Com-
puware in the Whitby Sil-
ver Stick tournament final
-as of Jan. 10.
Othmann plays on a line
with Shane Wright, who
has applied for the same
exceptional underage sta-
tus that was first granted
to John Tavares to allow
him into the OHL a year
early. The two, born a year
apart on Jan. 5, lead Flyers
in scoring and will also
likely play together in Al-
berta.
"As soon as we got our
jerseys, we just clicked,"
Othmann said of joining
the team at the same time
as Wright, in minor ban-
tam. "We haven't been tak-
en off the line in three
years, and if we go to Cal-
gary and are going to be li-
nemates, that's going to be
really special for both us."
Othmann, who racked
up 59 goals and 126 points
through 61 games with Don
Mills, is expected to be tak-
en in the first round of the
2019 OHL draft. As his
numbers suggest, he's an
extraordinary sniper, but
Darrell Woodley, director
of operations for Team On-
tario, says he's more than
that.
"Brennan is probably
one of the most pure goal
scorers in this age group,"
said Woodley, the director
of central scouting for the
OHL. "It takes a very smart
and skilled hockey player
to play with a guy like
Shane Wright ... He passes
the puck better than a lot of
people give him credit for,
but definitely his biggest
weapon is his shot, his re-
lease and his ability to find
that open ice in the offen-
sive zone."
Arnsby, an assistant
captain on the Don Mills
team, is also expected to be
drafted high. After start-
ing the season with a sep-
arated shoulder, he hit his
stride at the right time, and
had 17 goals and 53 points
through 38 games.
"Since he's been back,
he's been one of the driving
forces for that team," Woo-
dley said. "He's not the big-
gest kid in the world, but
he's explosive speed-wise,
he's got a great skill set and
he plays the game so hard.
The engine always keeps
working with him. That's
what I really love about
him. Shift in and shift out,
you know exactly what
you're getting from Liam."
Othmann, Arnsby and
Wright will be joined at the
Canada Winter Games by
Don Mills defencemen
Brandt Clarke and Roman
Schmidt, comprising more
than one quarter of the 19-
player roster. Ontario en-
ters as defending champi-
on, having won in 2015 with
current OHL stars Nick
Suzuki, Owen Tippett,
Markus Phillips and Mi-
chael DiPietro on the ros-
ter.
"It's very exciting, going
to represent my province,"
Arnsby said. "We should
have a very good team and
hopefully win gold like we
did last time."
"To be honest, I can't get
the smile off my face," Oth-
mann added. "I'm over-
whelmed. It's a dream
come true for this year ...
I'm just really, really excit-
ed to be on this team."

Happy New Year and
congratulations!
If you are reading this,
then it means you man-
aged to survive that most
wonderful, hectic, stress-
ful, gluttonous and some-
times magical time of year
we call Christmas.
And now comes that
season of desperation and
absolute failure called
resolutions.
You all know the rou-
tine - people set out to lose
a gazillion pounds, drink
green, stinky detoxifying
solutions every day, vow to
never, ever, ever eat anoth-
er plate of fries or box of
Timbits again.
And so on Jan. 1, every
g ym in the city is packed
as are the neighbourhood
sidewalks with joggers ga-
lore. And then to no one's
surprise, they are all so
sore and trashed on Jan. 2
that they decide to go for a
dart and a doughnut and
start again next year.
The actual stats are be-
yond pathetic. Some-
where between 30 and 90
days, 92 per cent of all res-
olutions have been aban-
doned.
I've never really been a
resolution guy but I think
for my athletes (and all of
us alike), the Christmas
break gives us a great op-
portunity to be very ap-
preciative of both the
skills we have been
blessed with and the peo-
ple in our lives who make
it possible to chase our
dreams.
It also provides an op-
portunity to recommit to
choosing greatness.
Greatness really is a
choice. I constantly re-
mind my athletes that ev-
ery day they make deci-
sions that either bring
them one step closer or
two steps away from great-
ness.
And with that comes
accountability. There is
no room for entitlement,
whining or excuses. Be-
coming an "honest every-
dayer," as I like to call it,
requires a conscious com-
mitment, but there really
is no other path to great-
ness. It's that simple.
So just resolve to get
stuck in and do things
right each and every day.
Pay attention to details. It
matters not what your
passion or your vocation
is, the formula for abso-
lute success is the same
for everybody. It really is
that simple.
I have been so blessed
to have worked alongside
and with so many of the
all-time greats and the one
common thread was that
they were and continue to
be honest everydayers.
And the best part is,
this goal is attainable. It
allows for "real life" to get
in the way. Just max out
every day.
Your dog barfed all
over the carpet and your
three-year-old has the flu?
No problem. So you won't
make it to the gym for
your workout but you can
hit the floor (watch out for
the barf) and bang out an
old fashioned prison
workout of push ups, sit
ups and squats. That's
choosing greatness.
No excuses, no whin-
ing, no complaining. OK,
OK the barf on the carpet
allows you a couple of ex-
pletives first, but then
punch your excuses in the
face and get at it.
Till next time, remem-
ber "you can't fake
strong!"

OSHAWA - Brandon
Saigeon and Nicolas Matti-
nen know what it takes to
win a championship in the
Ontario Hockey League -
and they both agree the
Oshawa Generals have that
feel about them right now.
The two 20-year-olds
will close out their junior
careers together in Osha-
wa after being acquired in
separate deals with the
Hamilton Bulldogs last
week - Saigeon for three
draft picks on Jan. 8 and
Mattinen for Eric Hender-
son and two draft picks the
next day, just under the
wire for the league's over-
age (OA) player deadline.
Three games into their
stint with the Generals,
Saigeon and Mattinen have
yet to taste defeat after
road wins of 6-5 in Peter-
borough and 3-1 in Barrie
followed by a 4-3 victory at
home Sunday over the Erie
Otters.
Both seemed pleased as
punch after Sunday's win,
and agreed the Generals
(26-15-2-0) have what it
takes to accomplish what
the Bulldogs did a year ago
- win an OHL title.
"Yeah, absolutely," Sai-
geon quickly answered
when asked if the Generals
were on the same track. "I
think I noticed it for the
first time on the bus ride
back from Peterborough
and Barrie. Both those
wins, on the bus ride up it's
a little more quiet because
you're focused on the game,
but after the wins, the guys
are just bonding so well to-
gether and it really re-
minded me of our team in
Hamilton that won a cham-
pionship."
"I think it really is,"
agreed Mattinen, when
asked if the feel was the
same. "You walk into the
room and everyone is on
the same page - you just
want to win. Everyone is
here for the right reasons
and it's really exciting.
We're not clicking where
we want to right now, but
we've got a lot of time to dial
it in and it's going to be an
exciting run."
Saigeon grew up in the
Hamilton area and had
played his entire OHL ca-
reer with the Bulldogs
franchise - albeit the first
season in Belleville as the
fourth overall draft pick.
A broken arm in his sec-
ond season set the six-foot-
two, 200-pound centre
back, but after a break-
through 35-goal and 70-
point campaign last year,
he was drafted in the fifth
round by the Colorado Ava-
lanche, two years after he
was first eligible.
This season, he sits tied
for fourth in the league
with 66 points, including a
league-high 32 on the pow-
er play.
"Saigeon's a pro," Gener-
als coach Greg Walters
said. "Just having him
around for a few days here,
it's unbelievable the leader-
ship that he brings, not on-
ly on the ice but off, and the
respect that he has."
Mattinen, a six-foot-
five, 220-pound defence-
man and sixth-round draft
pick of the Toronto Maple
Leafs, also has a Memorial
Cup win on his resume, al-
though in a limited role as a
rookie with the London
Knights in 2016. He came
over from Hamilton with a
share of the league lead in
goals for blueliners with 13,
including five on the power
play.
"You bring in two guys
that won last year, and
(Brett) Neumann went to
the conference finals ... It's
real good for our young
guys to learn from these
guys," Walters said. "We
got faster, we got bigger, we
got a lot heavier and we like
where we're at."

beloved husband of Gail, dear father of Jeff

Andrea, cherished brother/brother-in-law of

compassion and unconditional support for others will be greatly missed.
