NEWS/7 Morgan’s European tour Pickering puckster chosen for Selects SPORTS/13 Regional departments meet budget guidelines ‘I think taxpayer affordability is on all of our minds’: Mayor Pearce By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Durham residents are looking at a 4.8 per cent gen- eral property tax increase for the Regional portion of their tax bill, about $84 more than in 2007 on an average $280,000 home. That doesn’t include waste and transit, the rates for which vary among the municipalities. Those two items would bring the increase to just more than five per cent, or about $105 on that $280,000 home. All of the Region’s departments were able to meet the guidelines set for them in the fall, as did the police, allowing the Finance and Administration Committee to cut budget talks from three days to two this week. Committee chairwoman and Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce said she thought the process went smoothly. “I think taxpayer affordability is on all of our minds, all of the time,” she said. “At the same time we’re aware of the pressure Durham has be- cause of growth.” The 4.8 per cent increase is slightly higher than the 4.4 per cent guideline set by the Region in the fall. Most of the difference between the two figures is a re- sult of provincially downloaded services, primarily the Ontario Disability Support Program, which the Province is in the pro- cess of uploading. Durham’s conservation au- thorities initially came in $81,000 over their guideline and, after addressing the committee, were allowed to keep just under half of that in their budget. “They’re feeling growth pres- sure from a lot of provincial leg- islation and from enhanced con- cern from the public on the envi- ronment,” said Mayor Pearce. Though the committee will look at waste and transit on Feb. 27, councillors already weighed in on Durham Region Transit’s budget this week. The property tax portion of DRT funding is expected to in- crease by 9.5 per cent to $30.1 million per year. On the average home, that will mean about $10 more. In Oshawa, where the tran- sit tax impact is the greatest at about $187 on the average home, homeowners will pay $1 less. In Uxbridge, where homeowners currently pay about $65 on that MOM AND ‘POT’ SHOP Photo by Jennifer Roberts PICKERING — Teresa Albino and her daughter, Ana-Paula Leandro, create some pottery at the Pickering Potters Studio on Friday morning.

Pickering residents looking at 4.8 per cent regional hike Studying the Petticoat Creek Watershed It’s time has come, with $10k from City PICKERING — The Petticoat Creek watershed is the only one in Pickering not to have been studied or undergoing a study, but that will soon change. The Planning and Development Committee recently approved a $10,000 grant to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to help undertake the study, which will cost between $50,000 and $60,000. The City’s funding was set aside in the 2007 budget but will have to go to Council for final approval. Others contributing to the study are Durham and York Re- gions and the Town of Markham. The Petticoat Creek watershed is located between the Rouge and ✦ See Final, Page 2 ✦ See Securing, Page 2 Frenchman’s Bay watersheds. The southern part is mostly de- veloped but the northern section cannot be touched since it’s with- in the Agricultural Preserve. City staff noted the study will provide strategies to preserve, maintain and enhance sustainability of the watershed. In a letter to the City, Gary Bowen, TRCA watershed special- ist for the Duffins and Carruthers Creek Task Forces, said the over- all study design and terms of ref- erence for the study are currently being drawn up. The TRCA plans to build upon knowledge gained from past studies on the Duffins, Carruthers and Rouge water- sheds. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson expressed concern with providing funding before a work plan is in place, but plan- ning and development director Neil Carroll said he believes se- curing the money is a good idea, especially since the TRCA would like to have confirmation of its funding partners. The Region of Durham initiated a Water and Wastewater Master Planning study in 2006 to identify a preferred water and wastewater servicing strategy for all urban areas in the Region to the year 2021, with consideration of strategic oversizing to service future growth beyond 2021. This Master Planning study is being undertaken in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, which includes a comprehensive public consultation program. Public Information Centres (PICs) were previously held in June 2006 and May 2007 to receive comment on the proposed approach to identifying and evaluating alternative water and wastewater servicing strategies. The alternative strategies have now been evaluated, and the Region is holding a final round of PICs in February and March of 2008 to present the evaluation results and the preferred water and wastewater servicing strategy for public input. Each PIC will focus on the municipal water and wastewater systems for the municipality in which it is being held. The PICs will be an open house format, with a formal presentation beginning at 6:00 p.m. Staff from Durham Region as well as the study consultants (KMK Consultants) will be available to answer questions. This final round of PICs will be held in each area municipality as follows: Municipality of Clarington City of Pickering Wednesday, February 13, 2008 - 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, February 25, 2008 - 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Garnet B.

Comments received during this final round of PICs will be considered by the Region prior to finalizing the preferred water and wastewater servicing strategy. The servicing strategy will be documented in a Water and Wastewater Master Plan report that will be made available for a 30-day public review period in the Spring of 2008, and will then be submitted to Regional Council for approval.

Justices with the Ontario Court of Appeal rejected arguments that Robert Horvat, 29, was inappropri- ately detained and questioned by Durham police in 2005. Police were investigating a tip from a Whitby computer technician who’d found images of child pornography on a laptop that had been dropped off for repairs. When officers showed up at his Brantford office, Mr. Horvat admit- ted he was the laptop’s user. He was arrested and charged that day. Mr. Horvat was convicted of pos- sessing and making child porn -- a Superior Court judge ruled that in transferring downloaded images to other media he was in effect re-cre- ating the images through duplica- tion -- and sentenced to 18 months in jail. In imposing the sentence Justice Myrna Lack cited a previous child- porn conviction against the man. Mr. Horvat, who has been diagnosed as a pedophile, was also placed on probation and put on the national sex offender registry for 20 years. The appeals court also upheld the sentence. Mr. Horvat had been free while awaiting the outcome of his appeal.

Teacher accused of sex assault in court Pike first charged in 2005 DURHAM — Former elementary school teacher Jeremy Pike remains in custody awaiting the outcome of dozens of charges relating to the sexual abuse of children, two and a half years after his initial arrest. Mr. Pike, of Bowmanville, ap- peared briefly in an Oshawa court last month. Handcuffed, the 35- year-old listened as he was re- manded in custody to await a trial date in March. A former Grade 5 teacher at Glen Street Public School in Oshawa, he was arrested in 2005 on allegations of abusing young children. Durham police laid dozens more charges, including additional counts of sex- ual assault, sexual interference and making child pornography.

The new state-of-the-art facility boasts 8,500 square feet of practice area, artificial turf and batting machines. Please recycle this newspaper O ne of Durham Region Transit’s major goals is to get people out of their cars and on buses. And, they succeeded with me last year, albeit for a brief time. I was a second-year journalism stu- dent at Durham College and the UPASS had just kicked in. Every college and university student on campus pays a mandatory $100 for transit along with their tuition fees. In return, they get unlimited use of local transit, except for GO trains. The students pay whether they use transit or not. So I weighed my options, comparing the cost of parking and gas to taking the bus and, not surprisingly, the free bus came out on top. I still drove to the GO station daily because the winding local route from my home in south Ajax simply took too long. Occasionally I’d give in and drive to school, but after six years of absence from local buses, I was once again a fan of Durham transit. It was relatively fast, it was convenient and, best of all, it was affordable. And, that’s what the Region wants for transit as a whole. But, it’s faced with that old transit paradox: we need more riders for a better system, but we need a better system to draw in more riders. Since Regional officials can’t force people out of their cars at gunpoint and on to buses, it’s obvious that the best option is to build a better system. Should local transit have amalgamat- ed sooner? Come up with a rapid tran- sit plan sooner? Sure. But, we deal with what we have now and what we have is a young system and officials working as hard as they can to improve it. It may seem like we haven’t gotten our fair share from the feds and the Province. The $5 million the Region is getting to create a transit plan seems paltry compared to our neighbours, who have gotten more than 20 times as much. But, once we have a plan, we’ll start seeing those bigger dollar figures. The capital cost for a bus rapid transit sys- tem would be around $175 million. The Province is considering kicking in $80 million for that. And, although the feds haven’t com- mitted a dollar figure to it, Finance Minister and local MP Jim Flaherty was clear that once the plan is complete, funds can start flowing fairly quickly. That’s not to say that all of the Region’s transit woes will be fixed by a one-time infusion of cash from upper- tier governments. With about 40 buses that are 16 years old or older, replacing them represents a huge investment. But, once we have those core, heavy- use routes in place, we can work on improving service on community routes and in the Region’s rural areas. Mobility is a huge challenge for poor people in smaller or rural communities and it’s absolutely essential that they have options. For now, recent route reductions have really hurt residents that depend on it. And, it hurts even more that they’ll be paying more for less service. But, we’re making progress. It hurts and we all wish it was faster, but it’s coming. And when it does, more resi- dents will choose to leave their cars at home, or forgo owning one altogether, because it just makes more sense.

E-mail rszekely@durhamregion.com Think of your neighbours when heavy snow falls in our community W ith two weather wallops in the last week and six weeks of winter yet to go, Ajax and Pickering resi- dents need to remember that some mem- bers of our community are stranded when there’s a heavy snowfall. Many seniors and people with disabilities aren’t able to shovel snow and some rely on others, often family members, neigh- bours and private firms, to bale them out when old man winter spreads a thick white blanket on the ground. However, some have no one at all they can rely upon and are literally house- bound when bad weather hits. Consider these people, your neighbours, when you’re shovelling your driveway and pitch in if you can. If you have a snowblower, become a neighbourhood hero, as many of you already are, by thinking of the elderly. At the very least, check in with them to ensure they’re OK and don’t need anything. This is a special invitation to the younger people in our town and city to shovel seniors’ walks and driveways if you know they can’t or have no one to do it. It’s hard for younger folks to imagine, but for seniors and others who have to get to medical and other important appoint- ments, a feeling of dread sets in when a big storm is expected and there’s no one to shovel their driveway. They’ll be tremen- dously grateful to answer the door when it’s you offering to shovel. Better yet, just do it and be assured your good deed is appreci- ated. Of course, some seniors rely on snow shovelling services provided by the City of Pickering and the Town of Ajax. We heard from a couple of unhappy seniors who rely on the service following the Feb. 1 storm that the work wasn’t being done as promised by a certain time or that when it was done the shovelers did a poor job. In Pickering, one woman noted the shovelers simply didn’t arrive on Friday, Feb. 1 and she missed an appointment. She made a phone call on Saturday and was assured it would be done by noon after explaining she had another appointment. It wasn’t and she notes she and her husband were “housebound for two days, missed two appointments and were very stressed.” Now, obviously this was a larger-than- normal storm and one can imagine that the workers had a lot on their plates. But, if people pay for this service, the resources should be there to do it. If you know of a senior who could use the help, consider them when a big storm hits.

Council resolved, in part, that “access to clean water is a basic human right...” and that “fresh water is ... a public trust and a collective responsibility.” I spent about four hours last Wednesday listening to many of the delegations that presented to council objections to the establishment of an incinerator in Courtice. I understand the incinerator would burn our residual garbage, produce minimal power and produce considerable hazard- ous waste that would have to be disposed of. Many of the delegations indicated con- cerns about the effect of the incinerator’s emissions on our air, land and water. Last year council resolved to protect water. This year it ignored cautions about the quality of our water. Very disturbing. Mary Shepherd Whitby URGENT CARE WALK-IN CLINIC Opening Mon.

Clockwise from top, clearing the snow away was a lot easier for those with the right equipment, in this case a truck with a blade in the Pickering Village United Church parking lot. Spruce Hill Road resident Donna Sguigna snapped this shot on Wednesday of a fox that somehow climbed on top of her backyard cabana. The snow was no problem for large vehicles, but Ashanti Shields from Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School had a challenge on his bike. 711 Krosno Blvd., Pickering 905-837-9332 Th e Original Homemade Hamburger PlusTed’s Famous Steak on a Kaiser & Onion Rings The Big “M” Drive In The Best in Take-Out Since 1965 Thank you for Readers Choice Award for 2007 Platinum Chicken Souvlaki on a Bun Th e Original Homemade Hamburger PlusTed’s Famous Steak on a Kaiser & Onion Rings NEW SpotlightSpotlight on Businesson Business ADVERTISING FEATURE 120 Gibson Dr., Markham 905-427-1488 or 1-800-521-3229 We’re celebrating our 35th Anniversary and being awarded The Consumers Choice Award. • NO GST • 6 months NO Interest, NO Payments O.A.C. • $100 Gift Certifi cate on all window orders over $2,500 Passing these savings on to you: LIFE INSURANCE Paying too much for your life insurance?

Most people fail to realize the physical demands the golf swing places on the body. Statistics show that 53 per cent of male and 45 per cent of female golfers suffer from back pain. If you want to improve your game this season now is the time to get started. Whether you are looking to add yards to your drive or eliminate those nagging pains, you need to begin on the right path. Here is the path to proper conditioning for golf: Establish proper posture and fl exibility; develop stability; increase functional strength; and translate strength into power. Before anything else, a golfer should focus on establishing proper posture and fl ex- ibility in order to make a more effi cient swing and reduce the likelihood of injuries. Key areas of focus for the golfer are the shoulder joints, hips, back and neck. Many golfers suf- fer from muscle imbalances (short tight muscles and/or long weak muscles) that affect their ability to maintain proper posture whether at rest or executing the swing. A C.H.E.K. professional, TPI golf fi tness professional or your local chiropractor can assess these issues and put you on track with appropriate corrective stretches and exercises. Now you are ready for stability training. Stability training focuses on the golfer’s ability to maintain their centre of gravity at all times. If a golfer does not have ad- equate stability they will fi nd it diffi cult to develop consistency in their swing. Over time, a lack of postural and dynamic stabil- ity will lead to injury. Stability ball training, yoga and pilates are all great ways to restore stability to the working joints and musculo- skeletal system.

A fever is a symptom. The important question is “what’s causing the fever.” For many children, fevers are just a fact of life. Fevers are normal re- sponses as a child’s body strives to “fi ght off” an infection. However, if the fever does not go away after three days, consult with your child’s physi- cian. Normal body temperature can vary. It ranges between 36 to 37.5°C (97 to 99°F) and can vary depending on the time of day and type of ther- mometer used. A child’s temperature is consid- ered a fever if it is higher than 38°C (100.4°F). The fi rst consideration for parents is to get the fe- ver down. The number one doctor recommended medication to treat children’s fevers is Children’s Tylenol. Generally, parents will want to dress their children in light layers of clothing to allow the extra heat to escape. How- ever, fever of- ten brings on the shivers and putting on a few layers will help warm the child up. Shiv- ering produc- es more body heat, causing the tempera- ture to rise again. Once they have stopped shiv- ering, take the extra layers off again.686-43433 Harwood Ave. S., Ajax, (South of Hwy. #2) Beside Tim Hortons IF • TIME • QUALITY • GENTLE DENTAL CARE DR.

The biggest mis- take a golfer makes is following an exercise pro- gram that looks like it was designed for a body- builder. Choose exercises that are functional in nature and resemble the general movement pat- terns associated with the golf swing. In general, focus on exercises that involve using free-weights and cable machines as these have a better func- tional carry-over to the game. And fi nally...you are now ready to translate that functional strength into power. When focusing on power development the exercise should be spe- cifi c to the movement patterns of golf with an emphasis on speed development. Medicine ball training and cable exercises are great ways to develop power. Considering each conditioning phase is typi- cally three to four weeks in duration you can see that golf season really is right around the corner. So you better get started.

For the rest of us, shopping can be very stressful. Often the key to ﬁ nding the right gift is taking a few moments to plan ahead and deciding, in which category does the gift-receiver belong? For the ones who need some pampering: Most of us know at least one person who is over- worked, under appreciated, and in desperate need of some rest and relaxation. Why not set the atmosphere to give them the pampering they deserve? Try some scented candles with a relax- ing aroma like lavender along with the corresponding essential oil to enhance the experience. Include some spa inspired services, like a luxurious hair treatment that will pamper the hair. Finally, ensure there are no distractions. Take the kids out to a movie or unplug the phones; do whatever is necessary. For the night owls: The tireless partiers in our life can never get enough of a good thing, can they? So why not indulge them? Pick up a CD by the latest band (ask the person at the counter for some help with this one if you’re not sure where to start). Pair it with a funky hair styling product like OSiS Marshmellow moulding paste, a stainless steel water bottle to keep them hydrated the day after and ﬁ nally, ﬁ nish the gift off with a ﬂ uffy pair of spa socks. Their feet must be aching after a wild night out. For the romantic: Romance requires a few calculated steps, but is well worth the journey. Take some time to plan a romantic evening. Throughout the night, shower him or her with a few small gifts. Start off with a bouquet of exotic ﬂ owers or a bottle of good wine. Later surprise them with their favourite sweets - you can’t go wrong with a decadent box of Belgian chocolates.

If so, it needs a personal touch.” Here’s what Kinnon suggests: • Quote a line or two from “your song”. • Add a note that expresses how you really feel. Tell them what they bring to your life or that you’ll be thinking of them all day. • Add a light touch of perfume or cologne. • Include a poem or an excerpt from a favourite book. • Enclose a photo that captures a cherished moment. • Provide a clue to where a gift is hidden. “This is your chance to release your inner cupid,” concludes Kinnon. “Make the most of it.” Add the personal touch to your Valentine’s Day card durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 12 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, February 10, 2008 “Let us design your dreams” 905-509-9002 ARCHITECT1 Ajax Paint Centre (905)427-3337 12 Harwood S.Ajax Pickering Paint Centre (905)837-0317 1794 Liverpool, Pickering PAINT CENTRE 1550 BAYLY ST., #35, PICKERING 905.839.0574 www.aroundthehome.ca • KITCHENS • VANITIES KITCHEN RENOVATIONS 32 Eavestroughing In Business Since 1970 5”, 6” Seamless Eavestrough Supply • Run off Installation FREE ESTIMATES Eavestroughing, Siding, Soffi t, Fascia 905-426-5001 www.unictrough.ca 759 Kingston Rd.

In April, the talented defenceman with the Markham-Stouffville Stars peewee ‘AA’ girls’ hockey team em- barks on a once-in-a-lifetime op- portunity to play against high-level competition in another part of the world. Morgan and her teammates from the 95 East Coast Selects girls’ hockey team — a hand-picked squad of elite 12-year-old players from the eastern U.S. and Canada — will travel to Europe for a 11-day playing tour of Sweden, Finland and Iceland. The Grade 7 student at E.B. Phin Public School earned her way onto the Selects after, at the urging of her Markham-Stouffville coach, attend- ing a single-day tryout in Rochester, New York last December. There, she was one of 73 hopefuls attempting to earn one of 17 spots on the team. Those at the East Coast Selects try- outs, recalls Morgan’s father, Peter, were divided into four teams where each squad played three 40-minute games during the intensive day at Rochester’s ESL Center. They were evaluated from the upper reaches of the arena by the coaching staff, including head coach Kristi Alcorn. Morgan notes the scrimmages were tough, although she says nerves weren’t a problem. “It was a good level of hockey,” she says. “It wasn’t easy. You really have to work hard.” Following the tryout, Morgan and the other hopefuls waited anxiously for another 24 hours before the Se- lects’ roster was revealed online. When her name popped up on the player list, Morgan knew all the effort had paid off. “I was really excited,” she recalls. “I knew I had worked hard and I knew I deserved it.” The team makeup includes three players from New York state, six from the GTA, and eight from London, Belleville, Kanata, Rideau-St. Law- rence and Barrie. Beginning on April 18, the Select team flies from New York City to Reykjavik, Iceland for the showcase event — the Icelander Cup tourna- ment. The tour also includes exhibi- tion games in Stockholm, Sweden and Helsinki, Finland before the flight home on April 28. Alcorn says the tour pits the East Coast Selects girls against elite boys’ ‘AA’ teams in those countries. That’s because girls’ hockey there isn’t nearly as advanced as it is in Canada and the U.S. “Playing against boys would give us the best competition,” notes Al- corn, who’s also a lacrosse coach at The Hill Academy in Kleinburg, north of Toronto. “These are the top female players from the East Coast of Canada and the U.S. I think these girls will go stride for stride with the boys. At this age, they’re the same size as the boys, so we’re going to give them a run for their money.” Alcorn notes Morgan was a shoo- in for the Selects, based on her con- siderable skills and hockey IQ. “She was one of the top players out there. She’s got a real good presence on the ice. She’s a good passer and a real heads-up player. She wasn’t a bubble player. We put her right on that list for the team.” The 95 East Coast Selects girls’ hockey team is the first foray into female hockey for the organization, which is operated by the Howe De- velopment Group, under the stew- ardship of Gordie Howe’s grandson, Travis. Boys’ teams have solely been part of the organization until this year. An under-14 girls’ program is reportedly in the works. Following the April European tour, Morgan plans to finish the sea- son with Markham-Stouffville before joining the Selects for a tournament in Rosemere, Quebec in May. Later that month, she’ll join the Selects in Rochester for the North American Prospects Showcase and the Ontario Summer Chill event in Toronto in June. In July, she’ll attend an under- 12 elite camp at Quinnipiac College in Hamden, Connecticut.

The Howard team, which in- cludes Pickering’s Richard Hart at the vice position, sits at 8-0 and in first place, as of Thursday night. In games on Thursday, the Howard foursome blasted Ajax skip Bob Turcotte’s Oshawa Curl- ing Club team 9-1, with Turcotte shaking hands with Howard to end the match after four ends. Howard counted three in each of the first three ends to put the game out of reach. In Howard’s other game on Thursday, however, it took a full 10 ends to secure a 8-6 victory over Wayne Middaugh from the St. George’s Golf & Country Club. The victory over Middaugh made it 19 consecutive victories for How- ard in provincial play. The Howard foursome played the Rob Lobel rink from the Brampton Curling Club in Draw 10 on Fri- day afternoon and the Mike Harris rink from Toronto’s Tam Heather Curling Club in Draw 11 on Friday night, with the results unavailable at press time. The Howard team’s final game of round-robin play against Harris brought together old Olympic team- mates. Hart, of the Howard team, and skip Mike Harris and team- mate Collin Mitchell, of Pickering, won a silver medal together in curl- ing at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. While Harris is very much alive in the hunt for a top-four spot with a 6-2 record as of Thursday, the Turcotte rink has fallen out of the playoff picture with a mark of 3-5 as of Thursday. The Page playoff (1 vs. 2, 3 vs. 4), followed by semifinal play were contested on Saturday. The final is at 2 p.m. today (Sun- day). ••• A Burlington junior women’s rink — which includes two An- nandale curlers — is competing at the M & M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors Championship in Sault Ste. Marie. Curling with Burlington skip Danielle Inglis are Annandale’s Chantal Lalonde at vice and Tracy O’Leary at second, along with Pam Feldkamp of Burlington at lead. As of Friday morning, the Iglis team was 5-6 at the nationals. On Friday morning in Draw 16, the Inglis foursome bested B.C.’s Kelly Thompson rink 7-4. Thursday night, the Ontario foursome lost 7-6 to Alberta’s Maria Bushell rink in Draw 15. Tie-breakers and semifinal games were played Saturday, with the women’s final today (Sunday). ••• The rocks just weren’t aligning right for Annandale Golf and Curl- ing Club teams competing at the Best Western Intermediate Zone Playdowns in Unionville last week- end. Annandale had a team in each of the men’s and women’s events at zones. Unfortunately, neither the Susannah Moylan rink nor the Gord Norton foursome was able to advance to the regionals. Twelve teams were entered in the Zone 6 men’s event while seven teams competed in the women’s Zone 6 playdown. Skip Moylan and her team of Bonnie Klepadlo, Shannon Silva and Heather MacDonald was side- lined after two consecutive losses at the zones. Meanwhile, skip Norton and teammates Warren Leslie, Alex Bi- anchi and Mike Trudeau were also sidelined, but with a 1-2 record. The regionals are at the Thorn- hill Golf Club on March 1 and 2. ••• Annandale hosts the annual A.L.I.C.E (Annandale Ladies Invi- tational Cash Extravaganza) bon- spiel this weekend. Sixty-four play- ers making 16 teams are expected, with each playing three six-end games. Last year, Annandale teams took the first three prizes. Convener Lisa Puddephatt is heading up the annual event that always includes food between games and plenty of fun for the curlers. — With files from News Advertiser curling columnist Jim Easson Howard humbles curling foes at men’s Provincials Submitted photo Richard Hart, of Pickering, left, converses with skip Glenn Howard during round-robin action at the TSC Tankard 2008 Ontario Men’s Curling Champion- ships in Waterloo.

NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, February 10, 2008, PAGE 17 A/Pnewsdurhamregion.com BEST, Florence Hazel-February 6 2008, after a brief illness, in her 91st year. A resident of Sunrise Assisted Living in Oakville since 2003, Hazel had a great lust for life despite a number of medical challenges in her later years. Hazel was born in Oshawa Ontario, March 25, 1917. After a short career as a surgical nurse in Oshawa, she married Douglas W. S. Best MD, her best friend and life-long companion. She and Douglas celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary in 2007. An energetic and tireless volunteer and organizer, Hazel rose through the ranks of the Girl Guides of Canada, advancing to the position of District Commissioner. She was an active member at Trinity United Church and Wellington Square United Church in Burlington, St. Mark's United Church in Whitby, and the Whitby Curling Club, where she was awarded an honorary life-time membership for her many years of outstanding service. Hazel is survived by her brother Ray Trew and sisters Marion Carter and Dorita Shaw; her husband Douglas; her three children David Best (Margaret), Marion Winton (Ian) and Richard Best (Penny Smith); and five grandchildren: Christine Best, Danielle Best, Stephen Sparrow, Diane Sparrow, and Lindsey Best. The family asks that donations be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in lieu of flowers.
