Festive drink recipes to jump start a party Tara HaTHerly thatherly@durhamregion.com With Christmas and New Year’s Eve coming up, here are some festive drink reci- pes to jump start a holiday party. Oshawa native and Toronto bartender Nadine Donald offered up her favourite recipes for celebrating Christmas and New Year’s with friends. “The holidays are a great time to get everybody and have fun,” Ms. Donald said. “Make sure that if you are drinking you have a plan to get home or a place to stay. Pace yourself with non-alcoholic drinks. I know these drinks are tasty, but they will catch up to you before you know it.” Christmas party drink recipes Spiced apple caramel martini “Sweet and tart, this is a quick and easy drink that everyone will enjoy. The graham rim gives it a nice look, and tastes great too.” Ingredients •2 oz butterscotch liqueur •1 oz vodka •2.5 oz apple cider •Lemon juice •Crushed graham cracker crumbs (avail- able from Bulk Barn) Directions •Using the lemon juice for adhesive, rim the glass with the crushed graham cracker crumbs. •Shake remaining ingredients together with ice in a martini shaker and strain into a martini glass. Christmas cosmo “This drink’s colour is perfect for holiday entertaining. The cranberries add a nice simple touch and make it more festive.” Ingredients •2 oz vodka •1 oz triple sec orange liqueur •1 oz cranberry juice •2 tablespoons fresh lime juice •Cranberries •Mint leaves for garnish Directions •Shake liquid ingredients together with ice in a martini shaker and strain into a marti- ni glass.

Candy Cane Bliss “The combination of chocolate and mint is heavenly, and the candy cane adds a per- fect Christmas touch.” Ingredients •1 oz cream •1 oz vodka •1 oz peppermint schnapps •1 oz creme de cacao chocolate liqueur •Mini candy canes Directions •Shake liquid ingredients together with ice in a martini shaker and strain into a mar- tini glass. Garnish by hanging a mini candy cane on the glass rim.

Pour rum and brandy into an Irish (clear glass) coffee mug and add ingredients from sauce pan, while reserving the foam to place on top of the drink. Sprinkle top of drink with cinnamon and nutmeg.

New maintenance and storage facility built in Ajax AJAX -- Durham Region Transit is getting ready for a new rapid transit system with the opening of a newly expanded maintenance and storage facil- ity. The expanded facility for Durham Region Tran- sit’s Westney division operations, located on West- ney Road by the Ajax GO station, includes a new 3,400-square-metre addition that will serve as operational and maintenance space for addition- al buses, three in-ground hoists, a degreasing bay and 10 indoor and 52 outdoor bus storage spaces. The $16.6-million expansion is the first step in operating and expanding DRT’s new bus rapid transit, which will introduce service from the Uni- versity of Toronto Scarborough Campus along the Hwy. 2 corridor to the Oshawa courthouse. Ser- vice is expected to begin in June. “DRT carries over 10 million passengers per year,” said Roger Anderson, regional chairman and chairman of the transit executive committee. “DRT ridership and the Durham communi- ty continues to grow. This is the beginning of a Regional council-approved, long-term transit strategy that will improve our transit system dra- matically and address the growing transit needs in the region.” The Province committed $82.3 million to support the implementation of the BRT project, including $17 million to purchase 26 dedicated buses. Dur- ham Region will be funding the remainder of the project’s cost, estimated at $17.5 million. “The opening of the Durham BRT Westney facil- ity is great news for local commuters,” said MPP Joe Dickson. “When the new bus rapid transit line is finished, more commuters will be able to leave their cars at home and take public transit. Investing in public Durham bus rapid transit on Hwy. 2 moves forward transit helps reduce traffic gridlock, strengthens our local economy and keeps our air clean.” The new rapid transit system, dubbed DRT Pulse, is expected to be completed in 2016 and will offer 7.5-minute service during peak periods, accessible bus stops and shel- ters and new, accessible, clean diesel buses.> AJAX -- A brazen thief scooped several boxes of pain- killing patches from a safe before fleeing from an Ajax pharmacy last Friday. Workers at the Westney Road pharmacy followed the bandit as he fled to a waiting vehicle following the 2 p.m. incident, Durham police said. No one was hurt. Police said the suspect, who wore a red bandana over his face, made his way behind a counter at the pharmacy and began scooping up items. He left when an employee pulled him away from the safe, police said. The bandit escaped in a beige Pontiac Grand Prix driven by an accomplice. He got away with six boxes of narcotics patches. Police are looking for two white men. The suspect who entered the store is over six feet tall and between 275 and 300 pounds, while the driver is a slimmer man with facial hair.

Natural Christmas trees will be col- lected for composting during the second and third weeks of Janu- ary. For Brock, Scugog, Uxbridge, and Clarington residents, Christ- mas tree collection will occur on Monday, Jan. 7 and Monday, Jan. 14. Ajax and Pickering residents’ tree collection will occur on their regular collection day during the following periods: Tuesday, Jan. 8 to Friday, Jan. 11 and Tues- day, Jan. 15 to Friday, Jan. 18. Whitby and Oshawa residents should refer to their municipal waste collection calendar for scheduled collection dates or call their local municipality. Trees must have tinsel, decora- tions and stands removed. Trees in plastic bags will not be collect- ed. Trees exceeding three metres (10 feet) must be cut in half. The Region of Durham asks residents to ensure trees are not buried in snow or frozen to the ground. A real tree can be turned into mulch and reused in a variety of ways. Real trees are grown as crops and benefit the environment, unlike dis- carded artificial trees, which end up in the waste system. ron pietroniro / metroland Santa and his pack PICKERING -- The staff at L.A. Pet Grooming welcomed Santa into the store for an afternoon of photos along with donations of toys and food recently. Santa posed with Ellie, Gus, Nigel and Nemo. All food and toys collected were donated to the Pickering fire department for its annual toy drive. Durham residents can compost Christmas trees AJAX -- Residents with fireplaces and wood-burning appliances are being reminded of the associated risks by Ajax Fire and Emergency Services. As temperatures drop and winter approaches, the department is encouraging residents to make safety a top priority. “Lack of maintenance is the No. 1 contributor to chimney fires, due to the build-up of creosote -- a highly flammable waste product of combustion,” said Kyle Chamberlain, Ajax fire prevention inspector. “Chimneys should be cleaned at least once a year.” Ajax Fire advises that chimneys and wood stoves should be inspected and cleaned annually by a WETT-certified chimney specialist. Residents are also asked to keep debris, decorations and combustible materials far from hearths, to always use metal-mesh screens for fireplaces and to leave glass doors open while fires are burning. As well, people should never use flammable liquids to start a fire or restrict air supply to fireplaces, or burn cardboard, trash or debris in fireplaces and wood stoves. Residents are encouraged to install stovepipe thermometers to monitor flue temperatures, keep wood stove air inlets open and use fire-resistant materials on nearby walls. Branches hanging above chimneys, flues or vents should be removed, and chimneys should be covered with a mesh screen spark arrester. Finally, residents should never leave fires unattended, including while sleeping, and should soak hot ashes in water before placing them outside in a metal container.

Thank you for your reporting alerting the public to this issue. My wife had a similar experience earlier this year. Two full-size coyotes followed my wife and our 60-pound Siberian husky at the back of our house on the waterfront on Crawford Drive. The two coyotes took a 180-degree circling position and came within 20 feet before she was able to reach our property and close the back gate. I am also concerned that the situation may have been different if it was a child with a small dog. This type of recent behaviour is atypical for coyotes. Coyotes on the waterfront in the past have not exhibited this behaviour and mostly avoided contact with humans. I am sure the Town of Ajax wants the waterfront to be a place for citizens to enjoy and for the animals to be in their natural environment. The reality is that humans and wildlife do not always interact successfully. The Town of Ajax needs to clearly inform the public of its policy with regards to addressing and reporting wildlife safety concerns on Town property, so that area residents can govern themselves accord- ingly. Gary Kuipers Ajax Ajax coyotes a danger, should be relocated To the editor: Re: ‘Coyotes confronting people near Ajax waterfront’, news, durhamregion.com, Dec. 7, 2012. I am writing to let you know I am very concerned about the recent sightings of coyotes at Ajax’s waterfront area. I walk in that area frequently and also take my grandchildren to Rotary Park. I realize that coyotes have a place in the wild but for health and safety reasons I feel the attitude of the Town of Ajax bylaw ser- vices and the Ministry of Natural Resourc- es is unacceptable. The MNR suggests that individuals, ‘Stand tall, wave your hands and make lots of noise’ and ‘Do not turn your back or attempt to run from a coyote’. Tell that to a two-year-old child. Coyotes are unpredictable and have attacked especially when hungry and in pairs. The coyotes should be trapped and relo- cated just as other wild animals are, such as raccoons. Mike Mills Ajax Make holidays special for people and animals To the editor: As the holidays approach we are all busy shopping for our loved ones including our pets. We love to see our pets enjoy the season as well, although during the holiday sea- son it is easy to forget about other animals in need. It is important that during this season of giving we reach out and help animal shel- ters and other places to show our care and sup- port. Help make the ani- mals enjoy the holidays as well by giving to local humane societies and perhaps even giving them a new loving home. Make this holiday season a great one for both people and animals! For more information on donating please visit, web.humanedurham.com. Happy holidays to all!

Whether a lavish affair with a large extended family, or something simpler, a small gathering of two or three, all are imbued with the spirit of the season. It’s Christmas, a time to acknowledge peo- ple in our lives who matter and a time, for those of the faith, to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. This is the season of giving, of gifts, of our love, of ourselves to those who matter in our lives. But if you’re looking, it’s not hard to see local residents here at home giving all year long. There were the students at Dur- ham Region schools this year who under- took random acts of kindness, an initia- tive embraced by young students. Collec- tively, they compiled hundreds of such efforts, from holding a door for a stranger to carrying a heavy load for a senior. There was registered nurse Danielle King and Whitby resident Adam Murdoch, two strangers brought together by dire cir- cumstance, who combined to save the life of heart attack victim Dale Flaxman at an Ajax intersection in early September. There was the case of missing family pet Tanzie, who was happily reunited with her family because of the care and commit- ment of another stranger, Bowmanville resident Paula Bund, who had heard the tale and helped track Tanzie down. Her selfless effort is commendable and char- acterizes the notion of ‘giving’. And there were many untold, unrecord- ed and unexamined similar acts that took place every day. Such acts of kindness, such ‘others-first’ decisions taken by indi- viduals are the substance which binds us in our communities, which make our cit- ies livable. Christmas arrives tomorrow. When you are sharing and giving -- gifts, love, fellowship -- think beyond the sea- son. Think about people like Danielle King and Adam Murdoch, give a thought to those school kids who have taught us, in such a simple and straightforward way, about the benefits of random acts of kind- ness. Let them set an example for the rest of us, year-round. Let us offer you a warm wish for the very best of the season. It’s the season of giving. Let that guide us as we march together towards 2013.

MakeUp by LENA Sight &Sound Wedding Planning &Event Decor TA SAJ Program helps students, families after school Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Thanks to funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the After the Bell program will expand in Ajax. The program, currently at Bolton C. Falby and Terry Fox Public schools, runs each school day from dismissal until 6 p.m. for children aged four to 12. The pro- gram includes daily time spent on home- work help, literacy and physical activ- ity and kids are supplied with healthy snacks. “Today is a celebration of a true part- nership,” said superintendent Lisa Mill- er at a recent celebration at Bolton C. Falby. The program was formed with funds from the Ministry of Health Promotion and the Town of Ajax, with the Durham District School Board supplying space at the two schools. The program is run by the Boys and Girls Club of Durham, and the cost is an annual membership at the club, which is $60 per child. There are subsidies for families who can’t afford it, courtesy of the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program. Lisa McNee Baker, executive director of Boys and Girls Club of Durham, said the program will expand to Dr. Rober- ta Bondar P.S. in January, thanks to a $225,000 grant from the Ontario Trilli- um Foundation. It will expand to a fourth school in September 2013. The decision on the fourth school that will get the pro- gram in September 2013 will be made in the new year. Stacey Lepine-Fisher, manager of the Early Years program at the board, said parents can start submitting applications for the program within the next couple of weeks. Information will be posted on the school and the board’s website, and information will be sent home with stu- dents. “They will eventually expand outside of Ajax,” said Ms. Lepine-Fisher. “The fund- ing is only for the identified location, but definitely, the After the Bell program will expand.” She said when extra supports such as this program are in place, research shows increased participation among students and a boost in their provincial testing scores. These programs encourage chil- dren to attend more often, she said, as they have something to look forward to at the end of the day. Since their attendance is up, their scores also tend to increase. As part of the Trillium funding, the community partners will undertake a research study in order to get tangible results as to how effective the program is in Ajax. After the Bell continues to expand in Ajax jason liebregts / metroland AJAX -- Melanie Alcock, program activity leader, Boys and Girls Club of Durham, led an activity during the After the Bell program at Bolton C. Falby Public School. The program recently received a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. ‘‘Today is a celebration of a true partnership.’ Lisa Miller, Durham District School Board > du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • De c e m b e r 2 4 , 2 0 1 2 13 AP 170 Westney Rd.S,Ajax sisleyhyundai.com 8666--65500-11118 HWY. 401 N WE S T N E Y R D .

The pass provides Grade 5 students with free, unlimited access to public swimming, public skat- ing and drop-in recreation programs until Aug. 31, 2013. Students can use their pass at participat- ing municipal recreation centres, Durham Fam- ily YMCA and the Durham College/University of Ontario Institute of Technology Campus Ice Cen- tre. “Children and youth need at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity, such as swim- ming or skating each day,” explains a public health nurse with Durham Region health department, Ste- fanie Scapinello. “However, results released in 2011 from the Canadian Health Measures Survey show that 93 percent of Canadian children and youth are not meeting this guideline.” In order to obtain the pass, students can visit their local municipal recreation centre or Durham Family YMCA with proof of address and date of birth. Stu- dents registering in the townships of Uxbridge and Scugog must also take a current one-inch by one- and-a-half-inch size photo to obtain their pass. For more information about the Grade 5 Action Pass, call the Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729 or visit durham.ca. Action pass available to Durham Grade 5 students DURHAM -- Durham Region nature enthusiasts are invited to join people across North America in a century-long Christmas tradition by participat- ing in the Christmas bird count. Last year, more than 2,500 Ontarians participat- ed in the count. This year, more than 63,000 North Ameri- cans are expected to record more than 60 mil- lion birds during the 113th annual count, which runs to Jan. 5. For the first time, there is no fee to participate. “With the Christmas bird counts, citizen scientists are effec- tively tracking bird populations and ranges,” said John Urquhart, Ontario Nature conservation sci- ence manager. “This is a cost-effective way for con- servation organizations to identify trends, so we can undertake conservation work where it’s needed most.” The Christmas bird count is North America’s longest-run- ning and most popular wildlife census. Durham Region holds the honour of hosting some of the longest-running counts. Both novice and expert bird lovers are invited to partici- pate. Counters are assigned routes to study, with tallies com- pleted over a 24-hour period. More than 120 counts have been organized in Ontario this year. For locations, visit www.ontarionature.org/cbc.

Join Pickering Fire Services in celebrating the 12 Days of Holiday Fire Safety campaign, with daily safety tips to be post- ed on Facebook at www.facebook.com/cityofpickering. The campaign is designed to remind residents to keep fire safety in mind during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. “Let’s make sure we have peace and joy throughout the sea- son by safeguarding our homes and families from unneces- sary fire risks,” said Fire Chief Bill Douglas. “Fire fatalities across the province are at their lowest levels ever, and we need your help to keep it that way.” Something as simple as a pot left on the stove, or a burning candle left unattended, can quickly turn seasonal festivities into tragedy. While the holidays are a time for celebration, Pickering Fire Services is urging residents to drink responsibly to keep the city’s roads and homes safe and reminding homeowners that it’s the law to maintain working smoke alarms on every sto- rey of their home and outside all sleeping areas.

The stable of track-and-field athletes under his com- mand at Project Athletics based out of York University include some of the best in the country. Away from the track, his circle of friends is very well connected with what is going on around him. It was through a friend that he found out he had been nominated for the Athletics Canada Coach of the Year award, and through another friend that he found out he won. First, the realization he had been nominated. “I found out through a friend of mine who said, ‘You have been nominated for coach of the year’ while I was away at a train- ing camp,” the Pickering resident says of a conversation that took place a couple of weeks ago. Shortly after the announcement of the award winners were made on Wednes- day, another friend broke the news to him. “I got a BBM message that said, ‘You’ve won coach of the year again.’ Then every- one started messaging me after that to say congratu- lations.” It’s the second time McCleary has won the award, having copped the top honour back in 2009, as well as the Ontario Sports Award the same year. The finalists and winners are chosen by Athletics Canada’s awards committee from the nominee pool as put forward by its membership. Also nominated for the Coach of the Year award this year were Gerry Dragomir of Vancou- ver, Dave Scott-Thomas of Guelph and Joel Skinner of Sarnia. “I was excited,” says McCleary of the recognition. “There are quite a few coaches out there who are doing just as good a job as I am, so I’m excited because of who I went up against. To come out on top, it’s a privi- lege.” McLeary has a strong stable of athletes under his direction, including hurdlers Phylicia George, who fin- ished sixth at the Olympic Games in London, and Nik- kita Holder, who reached the semifinals in the same 100m event. Holder’s husband, Justyn Warner, also under McLeary’s guidance, reached the semifinals in the 100m, and was a member of Canada’s 4x100 relay team. All three track stars are now living in Pickering. He also coaches Whitby hurdler Priscilla Lopes- Schliep, who was a bronze medal winner at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. “We have a pretty big group, and the group we have, they are ranked the top in Canada right now,” he says of the impressive cast of athletes. McCleary will be honoured at the 2013 Canadian championships in Moncton, N.B., which take place June 20-23. - Sports Editor •bkelly@durhamregion.com METROLAND FILE PHOTO PICKERING -- Anthony McCleary has been named the Coach of the Year by Athletics Canada.

EVERYTHING Pickering resident sidelined for 2013 season with knee injury Shawn Cayley scayley@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Mike Lum-Walker long dreamed of what it would be like to suit up in the National Lacrosse League. But thanks to a serious knee injury, those dreams have been put on hold. The Ajax native and ex-Whitby War- riors defender will undergo surgery on Jan. 8 to repair three tears in his knee and will miss the entire 2013 season after being drafted in the second round by the Toronto Rock. On the first day of training camp, Lum- Walker aggravated a non-serious knee injury originally suffered in September while at Brock University, resulting in a fully torn ACL and torn lateral and medi- al meniscus. The recovery time is anywhere from six to nine months, Lum-Walker says. Understandably disappointed that his opportunity to play at the professional level has been postponed, Lum-Walker remains in relatively high spirits and is looking forward to getting through rehab and getting back on the floor. “I was obviously heartbroken,” he says of the feeling he had when the severity of his injury was discovered. “I’ve worked really hard to get to this point, but I’ve got to remain optimistic and know that I am going to be battling for the next year and then trying to regain my spot with the Rock.” Doctors have told him that the prob- ability of full recovery within the six-to- nine month time-frame is very good, and in the meantime, Lum-Walker has touched base with a few members of the Rock who have undergone similar sur- geries in order to get an idea of what he is in for over the next year. “There’s a couple guys on the Rock that have had it done before including Damon Edwards, Bill Greer, Jesse Gamble. I think there’s actually like six of them and they all gave me advice and told me to stick with it. They are supporting me, so that’s nice,” he says. Meanwhile, though the news wasn’t good for Lum-Walker, for a host of others around the league with ties to Durham Region, the story was a little different. Ajax Rock defender Alex Crepinsek, a first-round pick of the Minnesota Swarm, joins Bowmanville native Shayne Jack- son and Kiel Matisz of the Brooklin Red- men in the Twin Cities for their rookie campaign. Also on the Swarm roster are Redmen defenders Jeff Gilbert and Dan Ball, while Courtice native Zach Higgins has been placed on the club’s practice roster. Elsewhere, the roster of the Edmonton Rush continues to contain plenty of local flavour with the likes of Mark Matthews (Oshawa) and Curtis Knight (Oshawa) making a home out west with veterans Zack Greer (Whitby), John LaFontaine (Whitby) and Aaron Bold (Redmen). In Buffalo, Whitby’s Nick Cotter returns to the NLL with the Bandits, joining Oshawa’s Shawn Williams, Whitby prod- ucts Derek Suddons and Jay Thorimbert. Redmen star Derek Hopcroft is on the practice roster. Veteran Gavin Prout is back for anoth- er season with the Colorado Mammoth, while a pair of Redmen in Adam Jones and Cam Holding are as well. Ajax net- minder Tye Belanger, acquired by the Rock last summer, has made the practice squad. Rochester and Washington each have one player with Durham ties, as Scott Campbell of the Redmen is back again with the Knighthawks, while Mitch McMi- chael of Port Perry made the Stealth ros- ter as an undrafted free agent. In Toronto, veterans Steve Hoar and Bill Greer are back with the Rock. The NLL season begins with Rochester playing Washington Jan. 5.

Minor peewees raise money for Dreams and Wishes AJAX -- This December, the players of the Ajax Pickering Raiders minor peewee hockey team decided that rather than hav- ing their own team Christmas party, they wanted to give something back to a local charity. Teaming up with Boston Pizza in Pickering, the 11 year olds were celeb- rity servers earlier this month where they raised $350 for the Dreams and Wishes Charity in Durham. The Durham charity works with local shelters and ensures kids in these shelters wake up Christmas morning with presents under the tree. Assisting the Boston Pizza staff, the play- ers helped greet, seat and serve customers who attended the restaurant that night. Team members are Austin Aicken, Cole Brady, Alex Bulanov, Kieran Campbell, Matthew Erdelsky, Johnathon Harrison, Brendan James, Jacob Kung, Ryan Nasello, Braeden Pacas, Nicholas Papadopoulos, Adam Perez-Salvador, Josh Robinson, Tay- lor Rowed, Ronan Tracey, Camerson Shea and Michael Wreglesworth. Raiders in holiday spirit> Ajax Swimming athletes post solid results at Youth Cup meet in Etobicoke AJAX -- A small contingent of swimmers from Ajax Swimming’s elite, TAG and senior squads attended NYAC’s annual Youth Cup meet in Etobicoke and brought home fantastic results. Javier Acevedo, 14, continued his amaz- ing season with three club records. Aceve- do lowered his own mark in the 50m back- stroke by half a second, shaved point-one second off his own record in the 50m free- style and then demolished Robert Gil- christ’s record of 4:13 in the 400m freestyle, lowering it to an impressive 4:02.47. Joining Acevedo on the podium were two of his teammates from the 13-14 age cat- egory including 13-year-old Ethan Harri- son, who lowered his best time by over two seconds and grabbed a silver in the 200m butterfly. His time of 2:16.83 qualifies him for Swim- ming Canada’s Western Canadian champi- onships and ranks him second in Canada for 13-year-old males so far this season. Not to be outdone was Philip Kay, also 13, who picked up gold in the 100m breast- stroke and silver in the 400m freestyle. Kay’s 1:10.54 ranks him first in Canada this season for 13-year-old males and also qualifies him for Western Canadian cham- pionships. The trio of Acevedo, Kay and Harrison, along with Steven Taylor, also took home gold in the 13-14 boys’ 4x100 medley relay. In the 11-12 girls category, Aryanna Fer- nandes started her day with a best time by three seconds and a silver medal in the 200m freestyle, before proceeding to destroy the club record and take gold in the 200m butterfly. Her time of 2:25.21 breaks Olympic med- allist Lori Melien’s 1983 club record by four seconds. Fernandes won the event by 10 seconds and is now ranked first in Canada for 12-year-old females this season. Emily Vandenberg, 13, also smashed a personal best, dropping her time in the 400m freestyle by 14 seconds. A time of 4:40.86 gave her an eighth-place finish in the finals. Rounding out the female performances in finals was Carleigh Barrett. After post- ing her second fastest short course time to date in the preliminary session, Barrett took home a bronze medal in the 15-17 200m butterfly. Kevin Roberton, Christian Maindank- ine, Ryan Kelly, Steven Taylor, Andrew Kay and Shaun Hanycz all posted new best times and appeared in the finals sessions, with Kay swimming to an Eastern Cana- dian championships standard in the 100m breastroke for the first time. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • De c e m b e r 2 4 , 2 0 1 2 27 AP THE TOWNSHIP OF CENTRE WELLINGTON REQUIRES: MANAGING DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES Centre Wellington is a thriving and growing amalgamated community of 28,000 residents with diverse urban and rural settings.

In Loving Memory of Diane (Nee Boyce) Andersen “ When the sundown pales the sky,I want to hide a while,behind your smileAnd everywhereI’d look your eyes I’d fi nd.For me to love you nowWould be the sweetest thing,would make me sing.Ah, but I might aswell catch the wind” In love with you forever… Tim Paul Jeffery Mutiisa January 2, 1966 – February 29, 2012 My Dearest Paul,Wishing today as I wished beforeThat God could have sparedyou many years more.In my heart especially at this time of year, your memory is keptto love, to cherish andto never forget. Your lovingwife Angela In Loving Memory at Christmas Time … To A Loving Husband & Dad Forever loved & Never Forgotten Drew Jackson 1954 ~ 1994 Everyday in some small way Memories of you come our way. Memories are a loving thing, It lasts the longest day, It can never be spent, Never be lent, Never be taken away. Wife Mary, daughters Michelle & Ashley xoxoxo BRAD’S CHRISTMAS WISH May you wish for what you get, And may you get just what you need. May you have a long life of love, And free of hate and greed. May all be forgiven, In this life we’re living. There is no greater gift in life, Than that of selfless giving. Let’s not forget He, Who was born, who had no gifts to give. Who traded off His own life, So the rest of us could live. His power lay not in his strength, Nor His skill with sword. His power lie in his gift of love, And skill with spoken word. And if you don’t believe in the Father, and his Son, Then believe in the power of just one person, And see what He has done. His story, and others like him, Have changed the world forever, History has taught me this, Never to say never. To friends, and family, all the best, In this Christmas season. May the spirit of giving live on in you, Even if for no reason. And to those of you now come and gone; Those no longer with us. I’ll see you when I get there, until then, Merry Christmas by Bradley Mark Johnston (November 8, 1980 ~ January 10, 2005) The Bradley Mark Johnston Educational Foundation 952 Queen St W, Suite 300, Toronto, ON M6J 1G8 *Registered Charity du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • De c e m b e r 2 4 , 2 0 1 2 30 AP SaveUpTo90%!%!09 Top UveSa %!09 Top UveSa %!09 Top UveSaSaveUpTo90%!
